"Oh! That Yang Ding, his parents said that he went hunting in the mountains last afternoon and didn't come back all night. His parents didn't take it seriously. We still have to help find someone in the mountains."
Su Yizhao was a little confused, "Didn't you say he was drunk? Why did he still go up the mountain? Did his parents bring him?"
"Bring it here! It's in the Discipline Pavilion now!" The yamen servant was also a chatterbox, and then he told how they worked hard to move rocks and find people.
Su Yizhao ignored the other party, but thought about it while walking.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he was warmly greeted by Li Tuiguan.
Su Yizhao saw that Mr. Li was not dressed as strictly as usual, so he thought he was aroused in a hurry.
She turned her head and looked at the three people kneeling in the hall. Two of them were probably old enough to know their destiny, and one was no more than three years old.
"You said your second son Yang Ding went hunting in the mountains yesterday afternoon? What time?"
It was Yang Ding's father, Yang Zhuhao, whom Li Tuiguan was asking the question at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Returning to your lord, is it probably the end of noon or the beginning of noon? It must be this time, I can't remember clearly."
"I heard that your family was killing pigs yesterday. It's not a holiday, so why are they killing pigs?"
Li Tuiguan knew that the people were reluctant to kill pigs. Unless it was during the Chinese New Year, they usually sold them for money.
"There was something wrong with that pig. The second brother said that we might as well kill it, but we couldn't bear to part with it! But he said that if it died, we wouldn't be able to sell it for money, so we had no choice but to kill it and ask Yang Shan to sell the meat to our family.
go."
When Yang Zhuhao talked about this, she still had a distressed look on her face.
Su Yizhao immediately noticed this detail and asked, "You left Yang Shan at home for lunch yesterday?"
Seeing that the person asking the question was a child, Yang Zhuhao didn't know how to reply, so Li Tuiguan immediately said: "Just reply to Mr. Su's words!"
"Yes! It's customary to stay in Yangshan for dinner after killing the pig. I've been working on it all morning, and it's time for dinner. It's hard to drive people away! So I took some meat to cook and made a sumptuous meal for them.
.”
Yang Zhuhao answered uneasily, the vertical lines between her eyebrows getting tighter and tighter.
"Sir! But what did the second child commit?" he asked, touching the corner of his clothes.
"Something involves him, and I need to ask him to testify." Su Yizhao smiled, trying to ease the tension of Yang Zhuhao's family.
"Yesterday afternoon, Yang Shan said that he was drunk, so he rested at your house for a long time. He didn't wake up until the beginning of Youshi. Is this possible?" Su Yizhao continued to ask.
Before Yang Zhuhao could reply, the man kneeling next to him interjected: "Yes! At that time, Cao Min, Lao Er, and Yang Shan drank wine together. All three of them were drunk and simply slept in the same room."
"Are you Yang Ding's eldest brother?"
Su Yizhao turned his attention to Mr. Yang. He had a square face, broad ears, a tall and strong appearance, dark skin, and looked like a simple man from a farm family.
"Yes! Common man Yang Dahe!" Yang Dahe glanced at Su Yizhao, then lowered his head.
"All three of you are drunk? Then why did your second brother go hunting again from the end of noon to the beginning of the afternoon? How can you trust him to go up the mountain when he is not sober?" Li Guan was a little confused. There is indeed something suspicious here.
"The second brother was already awake at the time. He said that the pigs at home had been killed. Although the family had income from selling the meat, catching piglets also cost a lot of money, so he wanted to go up the mountain to try his luck. We couldn't defeat him, so we had to let him
Went. Usually he goes up the mountain after eating and drinking, and sometimes he even stays in the mountain for one night."
Yang Zhuhao spoke without hesitation.
He braced his numb body, and suddenly felt a trace of anxiety in his heart.
"No wonder you are not anxious because he went up the mountain all night and didn't come back. He is used to it! But this morning we asked your cousins to take us up the mountain to look for someone. We also searched the cave where he lived before and found no one."
Jiang Captou remembered that the mountain was so big that it would not be easy to find people.
Especially there are wild beasts on the mountain. If something happens and they are eaten by a wild beast, where will they go to find someone?
"How can it be so easy to find someone in the mountains?" Yang Dahe shook his head and sighed.
Yang Zhuhao frowned, "The second brother is not a very capable hunter. He usually only dares to walk around the outside and a little further in. He doesn't dare to go deeper. That cave is still the place we found together before. It's impossible.
There are wild animals out there.”
Saying this, he became even more worried.
"Old man, the second child must have gone into the mountains, right?"
The old lady was originally a little afraid of Li Tuiguan and others, but when it came to Yang Ding, she couldn't help but become worried.
"Then except when Yang Ding went hunting in the mountains, did you and Yang Shan always sleep? Do you know if Yang Shan ever left during the trip?"
Su Yizhao was asking about Yang Dahe, and Yang Dahe nodded with certainty.
"Yes! I held my urine in the middle, got up to go to the toilet, and found that he was still lying on the bed! He was sleeping in it, and if he wanted to wake up, he had to pass by me."
Yang Dahe carefully recalled what happened yesterday, "I saw him sleeping soundly with his quilt rolled up. After I went to the toilet, I felt thirsty and asked him if he wanted to drink water. But he was so sleepy that he ignored me at all.
, then I climbed onto the kang and fell asleep."
"Then have you seen his face?" Su Yizhao asked with raised eyebrows.
Yang Dahe was also stunned when Su Yizhao asked him this question.
"That's not true. He was sleeping on his side against the wall. I didn't pay that much attention."
"Yang Zhuhao, have you ever seen Yang Shan leave midway?" Li Tuiguan asked.
"The peasants and the old woman were weaving baskets in the house, and they didn't hear the sound of the courtyard door! Our courtyard door opened and closed, and it made a lot of noise."
Yang Zhuhao tried hard to think about the scene at that time, "It was getting dark and the old lady was preparing to cook. We also discussed that Yang Shan was sleeping so deeply, maybe we should keep him for dinner. The grassroots were going to go to the house to take a look. Just now
When I walked to the door, he opened the door and came out."
"In other words, you are weaving baskets in the house, but you don't actually know what is going on in that room. As for whether the courtyard door will ring, if someone climbs over the courtyard wall, you can't know!"
When Su Yizhao said this, everyone present and informed suddenly felt that Yang Shan was under serious suspicion.
"This? I really don't know much about this, but why did Yang Shan leave midway? Did he commit something?"
Yang Zhuhao noticed that so many questions were asked around Yang Shan, and it was determined that Yang Shan was causing trouble.
Su Yizhao did not answer, but Li Tuiguan blurted out.
"His wife Feng was murdered yesterday and died in the temple."
Yang Zhuhao's family suddenly opened their eyes wide, and Yang Zhuhao's wife Liang Pozi even exclaimed: "What? The Yang Shan family's wife is dead?"
