Chapter 204: Things Happen for a Reason
Tang Yu also frowned, and said, "It is said that her husband is missing and his life and death are unknown, this woman should be in a hurry." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but we can't see ...... on her face at all."
Lin Fanghe nodded: "I sent that little girl home yesterday, and when I first saw Chen Baozhen, she was also dressed very charmingly. Greased and powdered. But this doesn't mean anything, maybe Chen Baozhen naturally likes to dress up. β
Tang Yu sighed: "Alas, this Lu Gensheng, now he can't see anyone alive or dead, where did he go?"
Lin Fanghe stood up, spread out his robes, and said, "Don't pay attention to these yet. The weather is very hot, so let's go to the bath to wash up, relax, and then go to the street to eat. β
Tang Yu promised, so the two of them took off their robes, carried some utensils, and went straight to the bathing room.
After soaking in the soup pool for more than half an hour, they refreshed themselves and returned to their study.
The two changed their clothes again, went out of the gate together, and walked slowly forward through the street.
Although Dangtu is a small county, the mountains are beautiful, and the rivers are far away. Pedestrians come and go on the street, cars and horses gallop, shops on both sides, and business is prosperous.
Lin Fanghe was happy, turned his head unconsciously, and said to Tang Yu with a smile: "A remote town, rich as this! It can be seen that Luozhi County is not a corpse vegetarian meal, and it is conscientious and conscientious, and it manages the huge county government in an orderly manner. β
Tang Yu said: "Luo Yinglong is diligent in political affairs, and it is best to love the people if he is a son, so it is not in vain that the lord will take charge of the affairs of the government for him, take over the murder case, and investigate the traitor!"
Lin Fanghe sighed and said, "I just don't know how long this case will drag on?" We still have a lot of things to deal with in Chuzhou......
The two came to a bustling street in the city, and at the corner not far in front of them, there was a restaurant with a narrow faΓ§ade and simple decoration, which was not noticed by pedestrians.
Lin Fanghe glanced twice: "That's it." β
Tang Yu didn't understand, and asked, "Why did the adults choose here, it doesn't look hot, and the door face is also gray?"
Lin Fanghe smiled and said: "Look at the architectural pattern of this restaurant, the patterns and carvings on the doors and windows, although they are a little faded, the colors are not so gorgeous. But I guess it must have been some year old. At least more than 100 years. For more than 100 years to exist, this restaurant must have its own unique way of operating and characteristics. Come with me, you won't be disappointed!"
The two men entered the door, sat down, ordered a few dishes, and ordered a bottle of aged wine.
Eat and chat.
Tang Yu put a handful of vegetables in his mouth, chewed two bites, and nodded again and again: "Well, it's really good." β
"It's the right way to go. Lin Fanghe took a sip of wine and said, "I didn't say it, you won't regret it." β
As he spoke, he put down his cup and glanced around.
Not far from their table, there was a larger square table. Surrounded by a few people dressed in short clothes, with dark complexions, rough hands and feet, and protruding joints, it was obvious that they were craftsmen who had been engaged in manual labor all year round.
A few people were drinking and punching.
Noisy.
A chubby man put down the bowl and persuaded, "It's almost done." It's a hot and dry day, so I advise everyone to drink less. β
A tall man with a red face sitting opposite him poured two mouthfuls in a row, put aside the wine bowl, and said angrily: "If you don't eat or drink, you'll die in vain!" Lao Liu, let me tell you, don't look at you not going to the restaurant all day, two cold steamed buns, get some pickles, and save a lot of money. You say that if you die, you can take away a penny......"
Another man with a round face and a black beard on his cheeks echoed and said, "What the bricklayer said is right, others don't know, so you just say that Lu Gensheng was working with us a few days ago." If you say no, it's gone, and the family will leave a young, beautiful daughter-in-law widowed!"
Next to the black beard, an elderly craftsman with a sallow face was silent at first, but when he saw that several of them were talking lively, he couldn't help but interject and reproach: "A few people have some virtue on their mouths, don't move and die." What is the widow - Lu Gensheng is just missing, and he can't be found for the time being, and he doesn't necessarily die!"
"I see a lot of bad luck and little luck - it's been more than ten days, and I can't find anyone. The tall, red-faced man stood his own way.
"But the body hasn't been found. The chubby craftsman surnamed Liu from before said, "If you don't see the corpse, you can't close the case, I heard that the state government above is in a hurry!"
After a circle of black beards, he said: "Didn't Lu Gensheng's wife, Chen Baozhen, bite out the contractor Yao Si?
The tall bricklayer was anxious when he heard this: "Yao Si, ho, he is the least courageous." Once, when he dug up the foundation, he dug out a snake, and his face turned yellow and his body was cold. He has to kill a chicken at home with his wife Wang's hands, you say that he kills people, and I don't believe it?"
Craftsman Liu muttered: "The wine is strong and intimidating, after we left that day, he and Gensheng drank another bottle of bamboo leaf green." Maybe he poured a pound of liquor and he would come up?"
"You fart less. Hu Bricklayer's face turned red and he scolded, "The government is worried that it can't find evidence of murder now, you are talking nonsense here, if anyone hears it, then you can pay it back! Isn't this a rope around Yao Si's neck?"
Craftsman Liu didn't dare to disobey: "I just said that...... What does it have to do with the government?"
When Lin Fanghe heard this, he turned his head and smiled at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu also looked at him and remained silent.
The two of them sat upright, calmed down, and continued to listen.
The blackbearded craftsman sighed with emotion: "People have good fortune and bad luck! I heard that the foreman Yao Si was beaten every day in the prison and tortured, and he was already tortured to the point that he did not look like a human being. β
At this time, Craftsman Liu found the stubble and hurriedly defended: "Therefore, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, if Yao Si does not have a grudge with Lu Gensheng, everyone will not reconcile for them that day." If the two of them are not good at drinking and greedy for glasses, if it is enough to stop......"
"Suppose you're big. He waved his fist at Craftsman Liu across the table and shouted, "If I press you to the ground and beat you up now, can you shut your stinky mouth!"
Craftsman Liu obviously didn't dare to provoke, and turned to the elderly man and complained: "Lao Li, look at it, he is simply unreasonable. I'm just talking about things......"
The blackbeard craftsman picked up the wine bowl, poured a few sips, dropped the bowl, grabbed a chicken wing, stuffed the bones and meat into his mouth, squeaked and chewed, and said in a slurred voice: "According to me, if you want to blame that Chen Baozhen for this matter, it's really not a thing! She didn't see it with her own eyes, why did she bite Yao Si like a dog and not relax." β
"What do you know, there are so many things going on here?" The dark, dark, yellow, and elderly craftsman surnamed Li let go of his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, his tone was mysterious.
Hu Bricklayer squinted his eyes and quickly slipped him, and shouted: "Blind Li, if you have something to say, you can let it go, you don't play tricks there." (To be continued.) )
