Li Yuanfa was obviously looking at them with wide eyes, how could he die?
But facts cannot be false.
"What should I do?" Zhu Cheng said with a trembling voice, "I just pushed him, and I didn't mean to hurt him. I..."
Madam Wang held his hand tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Master, now is not the time to panic!"
Seeing that Zhu Cheng was still looking like a headless fly, Mrs. Wang said word by word: "Master, this person has bad intentions!
He and the guy surnamed Gao put on such a show just to steal our gold bricks.
I swear to you, my godfather made it clear. He watched the two boxes of gold bricks being buried with his own eyes, and he will never make a mistake."
"Perhaps it was replaced by someone else..." Zhu Cheng's thoughts were confused, "It's been so many years, who knows..."
"It's impossible," Mrs. Wang said, "My godfather just borrowed a place, and even the owner of the house at the time didn't know there was something buried in the ground, and even after digging all these years, he didn't even dig out the foundation.
Gao'an and Jing Daduan are both from other places. How could they know about this? What kind of banned books have been prepared in advance to deceive Li Yuanfa?
It is this Li Yuanfa who acted in such a drama with Gao An after hearing the news from you.
Not only did he get the gold bricks, but he came to blackmail you. This kind of bastard deserves to die."
"Deserves it, deserves it..." Zhu Cheng repeated, and only in this way could he not be overwhelmed by the panic and self-blame of the murder, "He deserves to die, he deserves to die!"
Seeing Zhu Cheng slowly calm down, Mrs. Wang discussed again: "Li Yuanfa must be dealt with."
"How to deal with it?" Zhu Cheng asked, "Report to the official?"
After asking, he rejected it himself.
You can’t report to the official, absolutely not.
"If you throw him out, he will hit his head and fall to death," Madam Wang said. "When it gets dark and the carriage comes to pick you up, we will throw him out. We don't know outside here. As long as he doesn't
Being followed..."
Zhu Cheng was excited and motioned to his mother-in-law to open the door and take a look.
The mother-in-law opened a crack, looked around and found no suspicious person, so she closed the door again.
She didn't notice that there were two people hiding in a hidden corner not far away.
They were the government servants who were ordered to follow Li Yuanfa.
When these two people saw Li Yuanfa entering the house and not coming out for a long time, they were murmuring.
It wasn't until the second watch, when heavy rain poured down, that they saw the door of the house open.
A carriage stopped at the door for a while and then left soon.
The two exchanged glances, one continued to watch, and the other ran after the car.
Not daring to follow too closely, and because it was difficult to walk in the rain, the government servant followed him to an alley, where the carriage disappeared, and he stamped his feet in annoyance.
If you look carefully, there seems to be some kind of shadow on the ground ahead.
Looks like a person?
The yamen servant walked over and took a closer look. His face turned pale with fright!
Li Yuanfa stared at him.
This posture, at first glance, seems to have run out of energy!
Halfway through the second update, Shan Shen, who had not yet slept soundly, was shouted out of bed again.
"Tell me, what's going on?" he asked while getting dressed.
"Li Yuanfa was murdered and his body was dumped in an alley."
Shan Shen groaned and rubbed his shoulders, straining his muscles.
After simply packing up, Shan Shen hurriedly wrapped himself in a raincoat and set off with his crew.
"How can you and others be harmed?"
"Have you already rushed over?"
"Are you sure it was the family in Liuguo Hutong who did it? Are they surrounded?"
"What's the background of that family? Why did Li Yuanfa come to him?"
Shan Shen asked as he walked. When he stepped out of the Yamen, he paused for a moment.
Do we have to invite the Clay Bodhisattva?
The Duke of Fu came to sit in charge, and he seemed to be in good shape. Something happened in the case. I don't know if he would say anything, but it might not be good.
But after all, it was midnight and it was raining heavily...
A yamen servant replied: "I don't know who lives in that house yet. After Li Yuanfa left the yamen in the morning, he went to see the Duke of Guo's personal entourage and said a few words. Then he went to Liuguo Hutong and stayed there until he was picked up by someone.
A carriage was transported out..."
Hearing this, Shan Shen ignored the rain and night and asked to go to the Duke Fu's Mansion to invite people.
When Xu Jian arrived at the alley, it was almost the third watch.
Wu Zuo completed the most basic survey, but due to heavy rain, he had people transport Li Yuanfa back to the Yamen first.
Shan Shen stood aside and looked around.
"When the rain washed away the evidence, there was a lot less evidence," said Shan Shen and Xu Jian, "all the ruts were washed away."
Xu Jian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "At least there are witnesses. The Yamen servant saw Li Yuanfa enter the house with his own eyes, and another carriage appeared here."
Shan Shen lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that he asked the Duke's personal entourage about something today?"
"I told him," Xu Jian answered calmly, "We were going to fish with Li Yuanfa, but he couldn't find Zhu Cheng. I happened to know that, so I told him when he came to ask. Unexpectedly, I pointed him out.
A dead end."
Shan Shen laughed dryly.
Logically speaking, the Duke is right to do this.
Furthermore, no one expected that Li Yuanfa would die.
They let Li Yuanfa go out just for Zhu Cheng...
Wait?
Shan Shen's face tensed up.
With a dull face, he asked Xu Jian: "You mean, the person in that house is Mr. Zhu Si?"
"Master Shan still doesn't know?" Xu Jian asked back, then added, "I saw him from a distance outside Liuguo Hutong. He seemed to be familiar with that area, so I asked him to try his luck...
”
Shan Shen understood.
Li Yuanfa's luck is terrible.
"Let's talk about this..." Shan Shen thought about it and said to Xu Jian in a low voice, "It's definitely not appropriate to release people from the Yamen. It's okay if nothing happens, but something happens..."
Shan Shen sighed, his luck wasn't very good either.
"If it is really Mr. Zhu Si in the house, I have to go there in person," Shan Shen said.
Xu Jian nodded slightly: "Of course, the Holy One asked me to come to Shuntian Mansion just for this purpose."
"Let's go together now," Shan Shen wiped the moisture from his face, "It's raining so heavily, so our people will follow, otherwise, he will have to stay here in the rain until dawn."
Xu Jian held an umbrella and walked slowly and leisurely.
Li Yuanfa's murder was not part of his plan. It happened suddenly and disrupted many of his original ideas.
However, with the wet wind blowing, he felt that it was not that surprising.
Not everything can be changed.
There are still some things that are bound to happen and are destined, even if the way is changed.
He already knew this.
Lin Yunyan said that Chen Gui died alone in an alley that year.
In a remote alley, in the dead of night, no one knew what happened to Chen Gui.
Even if I later heard about the gold hidden in Laoshi Lane and heard that Chen Gui went to Li Yuanfa and Xi Dongjia to ask for gold bricks before his death, it could not be confirmed that he died of murder rather than an accident.
In this comparison, Li Yuanfa is luckier.
He did not lie alone until dawn. The government servants who followed him could prove that he was murdered and left here.
Xu Jian breathed out slowly, tapped the ground with her right toe, and moved her right leg a little.
After feeling a little relieved, he followed Shan Shen to Liuguo Hutong.
I will try my best this week to make up for what I owe.
