After taking a bath in the cold wind and washing away all the blood stains on his body, Li Wenjun came out of the water, wiped his body clean with a towel, and changed into clean clothes.
This time, in order to snatch the wild mountain spirit, Li Wenjun's preparation was quite sufficient, and he basically brought out all the things he could think of. With storage wrapped in his hand, he doesn't have to worry about bringing too many things, which will affect his movements.
He took out some more food, sat down by the fire, and while eating, he threw all his clothes, gloves, beard, and bathing towels into the fire and burned them. Soon, all the evidence that might have exposed him was wiped out.
After the things were burned, his head was not dry, Li Wenjun added some dry branches to the fire, and then sat by the fire, drying his head, and at the same time seized the time to cultivate.
The aura of heaven and earth here was still thin, and after about half an hour, Li Wenjun stopped cultivating and dried his head. He took out another set of makeup props and dressed himself up. Then he discerned the direction and walked towards the nearby village according to the description on the map he had forcibly written down.
Half an hour of cultivation, as well as a large amount of food and nourishment, made him feel less weak, not to mention anything else, at least when he walked, he no longer had to use branches as crutches.
After walking to the village, Li Wenjun bought a horse, and then rode it to the county seat. At this time, he was already in another county, which was a neighboring county of Sanshan County, called Shaowei County, and Shaowei Mountain was inserted from the northeast direction of Shaowei County, running through the whole county, and then leaving due south of Shaowei County and entering Sanshan County.
Li Wenjun found a bathhouse in the county seat of Shaowei County, and then soaked in the bathhouse for half a day to thoroughly clean the blood stains that may have remained on his body. After that, Li Wenjun added some supplies, and then left the county seat of Shaowei County, and he was ready to return to the county seat of Sanshan County.
Returning to Sanshan County, there must be a certain risk, but Li Wenjun asked himself that there should be no flaws left, even if Pharmacist Kong, who had met him, saw him again, there was a chance that he would not be recognized. Therefore, it is basically safe to return to Sanshan County.
Of course, there is a very realistic reason why Li Wenjun chose to return to Sanshan County. The last time he entered Wufeng Mountain, the time was limited, and the number of medicinal herbs collected was limited, so he was afraid that he would not be able to support him for too long.
Li Wenjun is young, has little experience, and has traveled to few places, he is not familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Song Kingdom, if it is not for the year of the great drought and having to flee the famine, maybe he will be confined to the one acre and three points of land in his hometown for the rest of his life, and he will not have the opportunity to go out. He was not at all familiar with Sanshan County, Shaowei County, and Mingchuan Prefecture, where the two counties were located, and he didn't know where he should go to pick herbs such as Moon Cliff Grass once he left Sanshan County.
As far as he was concerned, if he wanted to rely on Qi Gathering and Dispersion to cultivate, he would have to stay in Sanshan County, and only in this way would he be able to pick herbs nearby.
Li Wenjun hurried up and rushed towards the county seat of Sanshan County, eating and sleeping in the open along the way, and was in a hurry at night, not stopping outside. He hopes to use this way to grab time and return to the county one step ahead of schedule.
In order to avoid suspicion, he specially made a big circle, and did not enter from the north gate of the county seat, but went around to the west of the county seat. When he was still a few miles away from the county seat, he found a place where he couldn't see people in his sight, Li Wenjun got off the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and let the horse spread its hooves and run away.
Returning to the official road, Li Wenjun walked towards the county seat on foot.
What Li Wenjun didn't know was that he almost returned to Sanshan County with the yacha and Pharmacist Kong who were chasing him.
As soon as Li Wenjun entered the city gate, he saw a messenger riding a fast horse galloping over. He held a token in his hand and shouted: "The master has an order, block the city gate, only enter, not go." ”
Li Wenjun's heart moved, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed home.
About half a pillar of incense time, the county lord's daughter, Miss Wu Xuemei, and the son, Wu Yiming, led a group of people to rush out of the county government and rushed towards the house of the medicine picker Zhang Qi.
Wu Xuemei is certainly domineering, but her people are very smart, she concluded that the people who robbed the wild mountain spirits are very likely to be from those who once wanted to buy the wild mountain spirits, who are these people, and what are their identities, there is no one clearer than Zhang Qi. Of course, Wu Xuemei also had a suspicion of Zhang Qi, if Zhang Qi sent someone to rob the wild mountain spirit halfway, she would not feel too much surprise.
Wu Xuemei used the fastest degree to break into Zhang Qi's house, Zhang Qi was teaching his son a lesson, he sold his property again, and begged his grandfather to borrow money from his grandmother, and finally raised enough 1,000 taels of silver to redeem his son from the casino.
As soon as he saw Wu Xuemei and the others breaking in, Zhang Qi shuddered, he was deeply impressed by this eldest lady who bought Yeshan Jingqiang for ten taels of gold.
It didn't take much effort for Wu Xuemei to ask for the list from Zhang Qi, and then Wu Xuemei asked her younger brother Wu Yiming to stay and continue to interrogate Zhang Qi, and he personally led people to search for robbers and their accomplices.
For a time, chickens and dogs jumped in Sanshan County, making a mess.
Wu Xuemei's father, Wu Tao, the county magistrate of Sanshan County, relied on her very much, and this time, in order to allow her to search for the so-called "robbers" as much as possible, in addition to sending several of his most powerful yacha to Wu Xuemei, he also handed over two important witnesses of the "robbery" - Kong Yaoshi and the yacha to Wu Xuemei.
Pharmacist Kong wanted to find the wild mountain spirit earlier than Wu Tao and Wu Xuemei's father and daughter. The wild mountain spirit was lost in his hands, and the prefect was still waiting for this wild mountain spirit to be used as a medicine guide to save his Lao Tzu's life, if he knew that he lost the wild mountain spirit, how the prefect would clean him up, that is a conceivable thing.
Pharmacist Kong didn't dare to go back to Fucheng, he was afraid that the prefect would settle accounts with him. He hopes to find the robbers and retrieve the wild mountain spirits, so that he can make meritorious contributions. So he and another official returned to Sanshan County together.
After checking several companies one after another, Wu Xuemei has not found any useful clues. She had no choice but to take someone with her, check one house, and then check another. After checking and checking, I found Li Wenjun here.
Li Wenjun once appeared at Zhang Qi's house, which is a fact that no one can deny. Although Wu Xuemei didn't think that Li Wenjun, who was about her age, might have committed such a serious robbery, she still brought someone over with her in line with the idea of not letting go of a possibility.
When Wu Xuemei and others broke into Li Wenjun's house, Li Wenjun was chopping firewood in the yard, and I saw him carrying an axe in both hands, and he was wearing a sleeveless cardigan coarse cloth undershirt on his upper body, the undershirt was soaked, and the sweat on his forehead was running down his cheeks and chin, and he was flowing down his cheeks and chin.
The undershirt on Li Wenjun's body is not the kind of half-sleeved one, but the style that even the shoulders are exposed, and when he saw Li Wenjun dressed like this, the yacha who had been looking for Li Wenjun for a long time to no avail and had to return to the county seat of Sanshan County shook his head.
Yacha clearly remembered that Li Tou once stabbed the robber, and the knife almost split Li Wenjun in half, and the wound ran from the shoulder blade to the lower back, and penetrated the entire back of the robber. With such a serious injury, it is impossible to heal in just one or two days, let alone have the strength to chop wood.
Wu Xuemei was also a little disappointed, but she didn't think that the robbery would be committed by Li Wenjun, even if she was disappointed, it was only a little bit.
Wu Xuemei left a messenger surnamed Zhao to interrogate Li Wenjun, and then left Li Wenjun's house with the others.
Li Wenjun calmly dealt with the Yacha surnamed Zhao, and when the Yacha surnamed Zhao left, he took out a string of copper coins and stuffed them into Zhao Yacha's hand, invited Zhao Yacha to drink tea, and asked him If he has the opportunity, he must say more good things for himself in front of the county master and the eldest lady.
Zhao Yacha weighed the copper coins that could be topped with five coins of silver, and nodded with a smile.
Coming out of Li Wenjun, the yacha trotted to catch up with Wu Xuemei, who asked him, but what came out of the interrogation, the yacha accepted Li Wenjun's benefits, so he naturally wanted to help Li Wenjun say good things, and he really didn't interrogate anything from Li Wenjun.
Pharmacist Kong frowned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you checked Li Wenjun's back?"
"Pharmacist Kong, why do you say that?" Wu Xuemei asked.
Pharmacist Kong said: "Miss, I suddenly remembered that there are still some healing elixirs in the world, which can make people heal their injuries in a short time. These wound medicines are difficult for ordinary people to access, and the price is very expensive. Perhaps the robbers smeared this drug immediately after robbing the wild mountain spirit, but it is also unknown. ”
"If you do what you say, wouldn't it be impossible for us to find the robbers anymore?" Wu Xuemei frowned, her face sad.
Pharmacist Kong said: "Miss, don't worry, as far as I know, these healing elixirs I am talking about, even if they can quickly stop bleeding in a short period of time and allow the wound to heal, they will more or less leave some scars, and these scars cannot be completely eliminated." ”
Wu Xuemei nodded and instructed the Zhao surnamed Yacha: "You go and interrogate Li Wenjun again." ”
Zhao Yacha quickly went and returned, and he reported: "Miss, the little one checked it with his own eyes, and Li Wenjun didn't have any scars on his back. ”
"Miss, it can't be Li Wenjun's. The messenger who had come back to report the news said.
"Dai Zenghong, why do you say that?" Wu Xuemei asked.
"The robber is taller than Li Wenjun, and his shoulders are wider than Li Wenjun's, and these physical characteristics do not match Li Wenjun. Moreover, Li Wenjun was obviously not injured on his back. He is in our Sanshan County, has no relatives and no reason, and the only friend is the family of Sun Baicao, the medicine picker. Sun Baicao injured his leg a few days ago, and he is still recuperating from his injuries, Sun Baicao's son Sun Jianing is not as tall as Li Wenjun, so naturally it is impossible for their father and son to do the case. ”
Dai Zenghong didn't say this to excuse Li Wenjun, he couldn't wait to find a scapegoat as soon as possible, but not everyone can be a scapegoat. First, it has to be like, and secondly, it has to be related to the case or familiar with the details of the case.
The county magistrate is so enthusiastic about mobilizing the people, blocking the whole city, and letting his concubine Wu Xuemei show up and lead people to search for robbers, the most important purpose is not to catch the robbers, but to find out the wild mountain spirit. In Dai Zenghong's view, Li Wenjun is not a robber, even if he makes Li Wenjun a scapegoat, he can't find the wild mountain spirit, and in the end, the county master has to settle accounts with him.
So, he had to find someone more like him to be the scapegoat.
