He Li felt uncomfortable smelling the musty smell, and didn't want to stay with Zhu Changyuan any longer, so he left the cell together with Juxie.

Su Yu ran errands and bought a beggar chicken.

Zhu Changyuan's eyes lit up, he swallowed the whole chicken, burped, and said absently, "That's right, that's the taste, it's so delicious, I can eat another one!"

Su Yu said: "Who is the person in the portrait?"

Zhu Changyuan wiped his greasy mouth and said, "I don't know, I don't know who it is."

Su Yu said seriously: "Then who is Mr. Zhang you are talking about?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "That man is fat and taller than me, and he doesn't look like the figure in the painting at all."

The person Su Yu and the others saw outside the inn was definitely not short, and he was neither fat nor thin. Could it be that they were really the same person?

Zhu Changyuan said: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. Why should I lie to you again?"

Su Yu wanted to ask some more clues, and said, "Is that Mr. Zhang the master of the man in black?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "It seems that that night, the man in black respected Mr. Zhang very much, but the man who died didn't take them seriously. It seems that they are not the same."

Su Yu said: "What else do you know?"

Zhu Changyuan picked up the chicken bones spit on the ground, and said: "This incident, behind the scenes are some people with backgrounds and backgrounds, and the rights involved are unclear. I know that every time they come to our town, they bring a lot of people with them. People. Two or three times someone came to me, talked to me, deliberately talked about the missing children, and told some inside stories that I didn't understand. I don't know if it was to test me on purpose, or it was just a silly thing. They mentioned, As long as you do your duty well, you don't have to worry about being exposed. Moreover, if you gain the trust of your masters, even if something goes wrong, someone will protect you."

Su Yu said: "If you are sure that the person who told you this is their servant?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Whether you are a servant or not, you can tell by the clothes you wear. Those who can wear coarse linen and patch them, there is no one else except servants.

Su Yu said: "Then what does 'someone protects' mean?"

Zhu Changyuan snorted: "Money can turn ghosts around. Money is a good thing. Who doesn't like it? It's easy to buy some relationships."

Su Yu probably understood, he came out of the cell, anxious to find peace.

As soon as the cell door was closed, Zhu Changyuan lay down on the straw again, stroking his belly, as if he was still addicted to eating beggar chicken, that was the last time he felt happy, and he would die soon.

Zhu Changyuan suddenly laughed out loud, laughed, and then burst into tears in a muffled voice.

The nail dug a small hole in the ground, he thought, such a wasted life is finally over.

**

In fact, things are probably already clear.

He Li was lying ill on the bed in the inn. Ju Xie had just changed his medicine. His wound had healed a little and started to scab. became black.

He Li let his back hang in the air, and muttered: "The next thing is to wait?"

Ju Xie wiped off the medicine on her hands, and said, "If you weren't so aggressive in court, it wouldn't take much time."

He Li was silent for a while, and said, "I really didn't expect it, and I didn't see it."

Ju Xie said: "You think he is dull, but he is actually stupid on the outside and wise on the inside. However, if you pay more attention to him, you can find something unusual."

"..." Heli said, "I was careless."

The rich family includes the two sons surnamed Zhang, countless servants, and a backing that can make them courageous and worry-free...

Although in the end all the truth needs to be obtained through questioning from insiders, but Su Yu's words conveyed from Zhu Changyuan, after a little speculation, can roughly sort out the ins and outs.

For ordinary people, these people are really not easy to mess with.

He Li said: "Su Yu wrote, please send an envoy. It will take some time to come."

Ju Xie said: "It just so happens that you can still recover from your injuries, so stop walking around because you are concerned about the case."

He Li said perfunctorily, "Let's discuss again."

Fortunately, the other party didn't make them wait long, and they took action that night.

He Li didn't sleep well, and seemed to hear the sound of fighting in a daze, and when he woke up, he saw only a few vague shadows coming and going in the dark, and finally, with a snap, he fell silent.

Ju Xie lit the oil lamp, and He Li finally saw clearly that three men in black had fallen on the ground, their bodies were covered with a layer of white powder, and they were already unconscious.

He Li said: "When did they come?"

Ju Xie said, "Just half a quarter before you wake up."

Undoubtedly, the man in black was here to kill them, but he was discovered by Juxie as soon as he sneaked into the room.

At the same time, in the prison of the government office, a man in black pushed open the door of the cell and slipped in without a sound.He turned around in the cell, returned to the first cell near the door, broke the lock with the sword, and opened the door from the outside.

The man in black in the cell seemed to know the visitor, he leaned over silently, and walked out side by side with that person.

They came to the back door of the government office by familiar means. Someone prepared two horses for them. After they got on the horses, they quickly disappeared into the night.

**

Early the next morning, the town order was still soundly asleep when he was woken up again.He slept late last night, opened his eyes in a daze for a while, and then got out of bed in a daze to get dressed.

For two consecutive days, the courts of the government office opened early.

Heli's plan to cultivate his body was not achieved, and was carried by Juxie to the court, where he sat upright.

There are already five people in the hall, all men in black.Their hands and legs were tied, and their eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.One of the men was yesterday's man in black.

When Zhen Ling rushed to the court, he was scared and blue by the battle.He hesitated to walk up the hall, but stopped him softly: "You also go to the hall and kneel down."

Zhen Ling was stunned for a while, before he said awkwardly, "Young Master Yuan, why is this?"

He Li raised his chin and said, "Do you know who are the five people in the hall?"

Zhen Ling said: "This... how do I know?"

He Li said: "Then I will tell you that the three people on the left attacked me last night, the person on the far right is the suspect who was locked in the cell, and the remaining one rescued the suspect last night and attempted to escape on horseback."

However, as soon as he ran out of Donghe Town, he was blocked by Su Yu.

The town order opened his mouth wide and said, "How is it possible?"

He Li said: "Why are you so surprised, don't you know all this?"

Zhen Ling broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Young Master Yuan, don't talk nonsense..."

He Li said: "Last night, the prison guard left his post without permission, and the door of the cell was unlocked. During his departure, a man in black appeared and rescued him. Afterwards, they went all the way to the back door of the government office without hindrance. Horse, so that it can escape. From all signs, it is obvious that someone did it on purpose."

Zhen Ling said: "I don't know these things, there must be some misunderstanding!"

He Li said: "Stop making excuses, they have already recruited you. You conspired with the five men in black to deliberately kill us and let go of the accomplices in the prison. It was also you who framed Wu Xianming last time." It was an idea. You asked someone to put medicine in Li Yuzhen's food in advance to make her sleepy, and in the middle of the night, you opened the door of the cell and let the man in black come in and out freely. But that's it?"
