Chapter 39: The Search
Ten days later, He Da finally tracked down the area where Yun had fought with He Er. But He Er's body has been eaten by wild wolves, and there are no bones left.
The clue has been interrupted since then, and He Da can only turn back with doubts and apprehension to return to Lei Leopard. No one knew what was going on in that mountain forest, and the Sky Wolf Gang didn't have the ability to search for a needle in a haystack in such a wide area, and the second protector of the Sky Wolf Gang was designated as missing from then on.
At this time, Yun and Xiaoxiao finally walked out of this mountain forest, and half a month of jungle life made the two of them unkempt and ragged like savages. In the small town below the mountain, I took a beautiful bath, changed into clean clothes, and ate a lot of food to recover some mental and physical strength.
By asking the locals, Yun found that he had strayed far from the route they had planned. This is already close to Tongzhou.
The two discussed it for a while, preferring to spend more time taking a detour than having the confidence to cross the mountains and return to their original route. So after a three-day rest, they were on the road again.
This time, the two did not rush to the road, but with the mentality of touring the mountains and rivers, enjoying the scenery along the way while walking.
Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry, his grandfather has been missing for more than ten years and there is no news, and he didn't have much hope of finding him, so he was not in a hurry. And Yun Yun was constantly mobilizing his internal force in the high-intensity pursuit and escape in those days, especially in the final battle of life and death, whether it was energy, physical strength or internal force, he was exerted to the extreme, so under the strong pressure and stimulation, his turtle breath skill faintly touched the bottleneck of the fourth layer of Xiaocheng. What is lacking now is not hard cultivation, but the perception of the state of mind, so whenever he encounters beautiful or magnificent scenery along the way, he will stop and appreciate it with his heart. At this time, Xiaoxiao will stand beside him with a quiet smile and never take the initiative to disturb him.
There is a trace of indescribable feelings for the man next to him. It's different from the affection for his mother, and it's also different from the friendship with those friends in the clan, and Xiao Xiao doesn't know what it is. Since those few days on the run, he has taken meticulous care of himself. At the last moment, he did not give up, knowing that the murderer was auspicious and unlucky, he resolutely stayed to block the enemy and fight for a chance to escape for himself. Especially when he came back scarred and tired, and threw himself into his arms and hugged his not majestic waist, this unknown throbbing was born.
So the two walked silently and didn't have much communication, but often a look and a smile could tacitly understand each other's intentions. This rare leisure time has become the best memory of the two of their lives.
Ten days later, Tongzhou. I recuperated for another two days, and in these two days, I enjoyed food everywhere like a nouveau riche. Yun sometimes wondered how this skinny figure could fit so many things.
Yun Ben is a frugal person, but after being repeatedly instilled by Xiao Xiao with the idea that he should be happy when he is alive for decades, he also agreed with her approach. Anyway, I harvested a lot of silver in Tongjiang, and I don't feel distressed to use it at this time. After three days, Xiaoxiao was a little disgusted when she smelled meat, and the two decided to leave.
After inquiring about the path, Yun was surprised to find that less than two hundred miles to the west was the suburban county where the Shun'an Dart Bureau was located. According to the information given by the news building, the dart master named Fang Zhongtian lived there.
After asking for a little opinion, I found that the girl basically had no opinions, and she was a road idiot, as long as she could follow her wherever she went without getting lost and having food, whatever she wanted!
The suburbs are not too big, but the geographical location is still more important. Therefore, people come and go, and it is a prosperous scene. The Shun'an Dart Bureau is not difficult to find, and it is easy to find after a few passers-by.
It was a small dart game, and it looked a little old. The courtyard walls and gates seem to have not been painted for a long time, and they look a little mottled. Only the signboard of the Shun'an Dart Bureau was spotlessly clean, and the four large golden characters glittered in the sunlight. Knocking on the door, they were greeted by a young man dressed as a dart master.
"You two want to entrust the darts?"
"Oh, no. Yun hurriedly replied, "I don't know if Master Fang Zhongtian is here?"
"Who are you?" the young man wondered.
"I have an elder who has been separated for many years, and he has the same name as Master Fang. I passed by here today to visit, I wonder if it is convenient to ask Master Fang to come out and see him?"
"It's not the right time for you to come!" the young man frowned and said, "Master Fang has been involved in a lawsuit, and now he is in prison. When he heard that the evidence was conclusive, he was about to be executed. ”
"Oh, can you elaborate on that?" Yun Yun was also stunned.
"Ahem! It's also Master Fang's bad luck. He has been in our dart game for more than ten years, and he is usually the most easy-going and has never had a grudge with anyone. My wife died early, I have no children, no daughters, and no other hobbies, I just like to drink two sips when I have nothing to do, and who would have thought that something would happen to the wine.
A few days ago, he went to the tavern to drink, maybe he was not in a good mood so he drank two more glasses, and during the banquet he had a quarrel with the local Miao Yuanwai because of a trivial matter, and said two cruel words through the strength of the wine. But that night, a family of 17 people outside Miao Yuan was killed at home, and no one survived. After others pointed out that Master Fang was the most suspicious, it happened that he did not return to the dart bureau to stay that night. According to his own words, he fell asleep in an alley not far away when he was drunk halfway through, but unfortunately there was no witness.
So the next morning, as soon as he returned to the dart bureau, he was blocked in the house by a large number of officials and headhunters and taken away. This kind of tragedy has not happened in the suburbs for many years, so the higher authorities attach great importance to it and blame the county for solving the case within a time limit. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, there was no other clue except for Master Fang, a suspect, so the county head used a heavy sentence. It is estimated that Master Fang confessed because he couldn't survive the torture, and now that the county has reported it, he is waiting to be executed! But I believe that Master Fang must have been wronged. How could someone as good as him kill his whole family......?
"Is there a chance to go to the prison and see Master Fang?" Yun interrupted him.
"No, it doesn't. The young man said affirmatively: "Even if we want to buy the money off the cell boss, we can't see Master Fang." It is said that the county chief also felt that the case was a little strange, but since it had been reported, it must be confirmed. Therefore, he did not let outsiders meet him, for fear that he would find an opportunity to retract his confession. ”
"Ahem! I didn't expect it to be really troublesome!" muttered to Yun Yun, who had asked the reason for his resignation.
"What's the trouble? let's rob the prison tonight!" the little one shouted heartlessly.
"Don't make a fool of yourself. Let's go to the county government and find a way. Yun slapped Xiao Xiao on the top of the head, and quickly looked around to find that no one was paying attention to him, and he was relieved.
Oh, the little pouted but didn't get angry. So the two asked the direction of the yamen, and after the guidance of others, they found the local headhunter Lao Lu in the cloud.
casually found an excuse to open the way with a meeting gift of twenty taels of silver, and after a few glasses of wine, the two became friends who talked about everything. Seeing that Lao Lu was almost drunk, Yun timely proposed that he wanted to go to prison and meet Fang Zhongtian.
The old boy immediately woke up halfway from drinking, and his head shook like a rattle: "Brother! Don't say that my brother doesn't help! This thing really can't be done! You don't know, this case is a bit judged, hehe, a little unauthentic! But now that the wood is in the boat, the boss is most afraid of any more mistakes, and he specially explained that none of the idle people can meet the old man surnamed Fang." Brother, if I do this bird, if I make some waves, I will lose my position, not to mention, and I will be beaten by the board!"
"Then there's nothing to be done?" Yun Yun was also a little deflated.
"The way is what people think. It can't be said that there is no at all. The old boy scratched his chicken coop hair, and he grinned evilly.
"Brother elaborates. Yun also came to the spirit, and quickly filled him with wine.
"That's right, man. What do you have to do with that old man?" asked again uneasily.
Yun had no choice but to repeat the argument that Fang Zhongtian might be his long-lost relative.
"That's it!" Lao Lu dried up the wine: "According to the usual practice, before the execution of death row prisoners, the county head will go to the court to ask the prisoner whether he is guilty or not. Of course, most of the prisoners have lost their temper after being tortured, and they will pinch their noses and admit whether they have grievances or not! However, if the prisoners overturn the case in court and cry out for injustice, they will get a chance to be retried. But the ten ** are all upholding the original verdict, and there will be some other zero crimes. But here's your chance. The prisoner can ask for a lawyer in court, and if you are a lawyer, you can meet with the prisoner in order to inquire about the case. However, this thing is easier said than done, one is to have someone to contact to operate, after all, this is to add blockage to the top, if it is discovered, there will be no good fruit to eat. The second is that the prisoner must be a single person enough, since he has confessed before, it is just a matter of a knife. If the case is overturned, it is estimated that this knife will not be avoided, and the crime suffered will not be comparable to the previous pediatrics. So brother, I don't think it's worth it to go to such great lengths for someone who doesn't know if he has anything to do with you!"
"It's worth it! It's worth it!" Yun hurriedly said: "You also said that this case is strange, if it is really my elder, then I will be considered dedicated, if not, I will do good deeds and accumulate virtue." As he spoke, another fifty taels of silver were stuffed into Lao Lu's sleeve without a trace.
"How much do you bother about this!"
"Ahem! Who let us hit it off at first sight! You call me brother, when my brother goes up the knife mountain and down the oil pot for you, it should be!" Feeling the weight in his sleeve, Lao Lu immediately became impassioned again.
"Immediately write a letter and explain this in detail. Try to be as sincere as possible, and it is best to know it with reason and emotion. Exaggerate the hope of exonerating him. I'll find a chance to throw you in, and then it's up to the old man's creation!"
After that, he kept muttering, this thing can only be done by himself when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and he has to do it unknowingly, in case he is discovered......
In short, it's hard!
