Chapter 111
"I understand." Gao Shun said in a deep voice, and stopped talking.

Seeing that Gao Shun's face was not good-looking, the soldier was also very discerning, so he didn't dare to make more movements, but quietly waited for the arrival of Dubo, who was more official.

Uncle Dub was also very fast, but he was a fat man. When he heard that one of the best pawnshops in the city had been wiped out, he rushed there exhaustedly.

After all, he has a higher official position and knows the background of this pawn shop.

It is said that the shopkeeper of the pawnshop is a relative of a high official in the imperial court, and they have a close relationship, and that high official often takes care of this place, so the pawnshop can develop vigorously.

Now that the pawn shop has been wiped out, it is difficult.

Fatty Dubo ran here panting, and shouted before he had time to observe:
"Where's the murderer? Catch the murderer! Send him to prison!"

It's just that he found that no one had moved after he finished speaking, so he was a little annoyed, and glared at the soldier, that is, the little chief: "Didn't you hear what I said!"

"Master Dub, this is not because my subordinates are not fulfilling their duties, this is... the murderer seems to be a general." Shi Chang said with difficulty.

The fat man was stunned: "What general?"

"It's General Gao who was named a third-rank general just two days ago." Shi Zhang still understood, and said.

As soon as the fat man heard this, cold sweat immediately ran down his forehead, and his legs were still shaking violently. He didn't know whether it was from nervousness or panic.

He originally thought it was a murder case, but he didn't expect it to become such a big deal.

The deceased was a relative of a high official in the imperial court, and the murderer was suspected to be a third-rank general in the imperial court. This is not something he, a small uncle of hundreds of people, can get involved with.

"General Gao, you...you see?" the fat man looked at Gao Shun and asked flatteringly.

"It's not the murderer, but you won't believe me if I tell you, listen to what this guy says." Gao Shun said calmly, turning his gaze to the little guy who was crawling and hiding behind Shi Chang just now.

When the young boy saw him looking over, he trembled first, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's you! You're the murderer! I'm not afraid of you! Master, you have to make the decision for me."

The young man obviously knew that the fat official who came later was bigger, so he hugged the fat man's thigh and cried.

How can I decide for you, I can't protect myself now, and the fat man is in a panic, but he still pretends to be calm and said: "Don't worry."

Looking at Gao Shun again, he said, "General Gao, what's the matter with you?"

Gao Shun has already explained it just now, and he doesn't mind repeating it now, saying:
"I and a few soldiers under my command came here to make some jewelry, which belonged to him."

Gao Shun motioned to Tan Liu, and Tan Liu also opened the box in his hand, revealing the jewelry inside.

The box was not damaged. When he first entered the pawn shop and smelled the smell of blood, he put it on the ground. No one cared about it, so Tan Liu picked up the box again just now.

"As soon as we entered the pawnshop, we noticed that something was wrong. The pawnshop smelled of blood, and then we found that there were corpses behind the counter. After that, a dozen men in black rushed out from the screen to fight us.

That's the way it is, it's just that this guy directly identified me as the murderer, which makes me a little confused.

Could it be that his eyes were blinded by the blood and he couldn't tell right from wrong? "

Gao Shun said coldly, his tone so cold that it made people shudder.

"According to what the general said, it's true, but I have to listen to what this guy said, and I ask the general to forgive me."

The fat man also regained his composure at this time, and his brain was quite clear. Knowing that he couldn't afford to get involved in this matter, he secretly sent someone to report to a higher official, but before that, he still needed to sort out the matter .

With so many people present, there was no need to worry about any problems arising from inconsistent confessions.

The fat man's tone to the boy was not as good as that to Gao Shun, and he said, "Boy, what's the matter with you? Tell me clearly!"

There was no threatening intention in his tone, but it just made him feel uncomfortable.

"My lord, listen to me. I am a boy here. I have been working for the shopkeeper for half a year. Regular customers who come here often know me.

On this day, the business was not good, and there were basically no people there, so the shopkeeper asked me to clean the counter. Naturally, I dared not relax, so I crawled on the bottom of the counter and wiped it carefully.

Then, when I heard a customer came to the door, the shopkeeper was very happy and received it personally.

Then I heard the customer said that he wanted to sell it, and the person next to him told the shopkeeper not to lower the price fiercely.

The shopkeeper has been running a pawn shop for many years, and has always had a good reputation. He would definitely not do such a thing, and lower the price of the jewelry with a smile.

Then what happened, I don't know, I know that the price given by the shopkeeper was not satisfied, and then he scolded the shopkeeper, saying that the shopkeeper was black-hearted.

After coming and going, several people got into a dispute, and then someone used a knife.

I heard it clearly, and with a puff, the shopkeeper's body went limp, and he fell limply beside me. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe.

The other guys, errand runners, and appraisers all panicked and wanted to run away, but they were all killed. The bodies were piled up behind the counter and pressed on me, so they didn't find it.

Then the little official came, and I heard the murderer making up nonsense, so I couldn't help crawling out. "

After the boy finished speaking, he wiped his face and said:
"Officer, you have to return the shopkeeper's innocence, and bring the murderer to justice!"

After hearing the boy's narration, the fat man was also shocked.

This kind of family extermination case, whether it was because the price of the pawn was not negotiated, a dispute arose and then the murder, he has also seen it, but he has never seen it on such a large scale and so deeply involved.

But now the two sides insist on their own opinions, and their opinions are completely different. What to do is not up to him to decide.

He looked at the confidant beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Did you call someone?"

The confidant also replied in a low voice: "I called, I went directly to Tingwei to invite someone."

"Where is Zhang Tingwei? It's okay."

Fatty Uncle Du felt a little more relaxed and went to Zhang Tingwei to ask for someone. As long as he explained the matter clearly, the official who came would not be junior, at least older than him and someone who could take charge of the affairs.

Maybe Zhang Tingwei will come over in person.

After all, I don't know who the person behind this pawnshop is, but when the officer reaches the position of Tingwei, he feels like a mirror.

Wherever you should take care of them, where you should treat things as if they didn't happen, and where you should turn a blind eye, it's all there.

The fat man thought to himself, and even began to look forward to Zhang Tingwei's arrival.

Anyway, if you can get away as soon as possible, you can get away as soon as possible. Neither of these two parties can be provoked by you.

Now I just need to stabilize the situation, just like the little Shichang did just now, stabilize the situation and wait for the bigger officials to judge.

"General Gao, the subordinates can't be the masters of this kind of thing. I have already gone to Tingwei to invite someone. The general has to wait for a while."

After thinking about it, Fatty thought it better to explain to Gao Shun.
