A few hours later, a white line appeared in the eastern sky.

In Dongyu Village, some villagers who got up early came out with hoes on their shoulders.

"Little Sanzi, I see you getting up so early every day, why don't you go to work in the field?"

The person called Xiaosanzi was walking with his sleeves in his hands, staring blankly, and he didn't see who was coming, so he said "um", "I got up early and couldn't sleep, so I went out for a stroll. "As soon as he finished speaking, he yawned a lot.

"Oh, you kid, you've also learned not to tell the truth." The villager who was talking to Xiao Sanzi shook his head and left when he saw his appearance.

Little Sanzi walked all the way with his eyes almost closed, and as he walked, he vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind him.Thinking that this was another villager who went out to work, Xiao Sanzi leaned against the wall and looked back slowly, but there was no one there.

The third son couldn't help but yawned again, and the corners of his eyes were wet, but suddenly he saw his mouth half-opened and his eyes widened.

nobody!

The third son woke up instantly, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and carefully looked at the long dirt road in front of him, there really wasn't even a ghost.

"Mother." Little Sanzi turned his head in fright and ran away, but he didn't see a figure flashing behind a dirt wall not far away as soon as he ran away.

"Hmph." Seeing the young man frightened into such a virtuous manner, Zheng Dagui snorted coldly, and said to himself, don't think he doesn't know, this young man is staring at him every day.

Zheng Dagui has already noticed that there is a dangerous aura approaching him. The moment he woke up from the cold on the side of the mountain just now, he really wanted to run away with two burdens on his back.

But no, he ran away like this, and he would have to be caught when he left the village, unless he hid in the deep mountains and old forests for the rest of his life.

Of course Zheng Dagui would not be such a savage, thinking that as long as he seized the opportunity today and stole his elder brother's household registration card, then at this time tomorrow, he would be "Zheng Dafu" who could go wherever he wanted, anyway he It's not that he hasn't changed his name.

Thinking of this, Zheng Dagui felt that a brand new life was beckoning to him, and he couldn't wait to act.

Unfortunately, when Zheng Dagui crawled back home from the wall, Zheng Dafu and Li Shi were still fast asleep.Thinking that these two lazy people will never leave the house until the sun is three poles, Zheng Dagui just can't wait, and he won't have a chance to make a move in a while.

So Zheng Dagui had no choice but to go back to his own room first, and took advantage of this time to quickly recover his energy, wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell asleep.

At the same time, Qi Wensheng, who was still more than 200 miles away, was preparing to return.

I saw him follow three yamen servants, each leading a tall horse, out of the corner gate of the county yamen, and the yamen servants with big knives got on their horses one after another.

Looking at Qi Wensheng again, he held the reins and the horse's mane with his left hand, supported the saddle with his right hand, and stepped on the horse's back with his left foot on the stirrup.

"Hehe, that's fine." A clerk said, seeing Qi Wensheng's neat movements, he put away a few words that he was about to ridicule Qi Wensheng.

The three of them came out with their horses just now, planning to take Qi Wensheng on the road in turn, but unexpectedly, Qi Wensheng said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can ride a horse too."

Hearing his serious tone, the yacha couldn't help but replied, "Don't tell me you've ridden a donkey a few times, and you've ridden a horse as a donkey, right?"

Qi Wensheng put his legs between the horse's belly, and rode on the horse with his back straight. Hearing this, he smiled at the yamen servant, and said to himself that he had ridden a donkey before, but he had also galloped on the horse farm in his previous life.

Just like this, the four of them hit the horse on the road, until the horse ran for half a distance without stopping, and the few people rested in a teahouse by the roadside.

On this section of the road, three yamen servants rode horses, and secretly competed with Qi Wensheng. As soon as they left the city gate, when Qi Wensheng passed them on horseback, he said "I will lead the way", and he hastily left them behind. After that, they couldn't catch up no matter what.

"Oh, you can do it, you kid. If you don't know, you will think that you are a few brothers. This is to follow you for eight hundred miles to rush." ​​One of the yamen servants said after drinking tea, but his face could not hide his joy.

Qi Wensheng laughed and said, "Catcher Wang is just joking." What he thought in his heart was that he was too slow, if Zheng Dagui had been caught earlier, he and Qiuxi would have given up their minds earlier.

Now that I was free, I heard three yamen servants also chatting, "Hurry up and finish this errand, and now the yamen will be clean."

"That's right, that Li Yunying came here to cry every two days. If Master Zhou hadn't spoken before, I wouldn't have wronged the sufferer. I would have kicked her out a long time ago."

"You say this is evil. Who would have thought that we would look for it, and that Sun Dasheng's body was in the yamen last year."

Qi Wensheng's heart moved, and he heard that they were talking about Zheng Dagui's case, so he quickly raised his ears, and couldn't even drink the water.

"That Ba Lalian is so damn good. He smashed Sun Dasheng's face, changed clothes with him, and used his money to eat, drink, whore and gamble."

"If he hadn't become Sun Dasheng's jade pendant in the end..."

After more than a quarter of an hour, several people had had enough rest, and a yamen servant dropped more than a dozen pennies on the table, and four people and four horses galloped away to Dongyu Village again.

Qi Wensheng bent down on the horse's back, with the endless plain in front of his eyes, the interweaving of the wind and the sound of horseshoes in his ears, and the clarity of clearing away the clouds and mist in his heart.

Just now, after listening to the conversation of the yamen servants, Qi Wensheng finally sorted out Zheng Dagui's case, which was consistent with most of his previous guesses.

Zheng Dagui and Wang Changshan met a bandit, and while the bandit killed Wang Changshan, he also killed a man named Sun Dasheng. Zheng Dagui escaped under the knife of the bandit. After changing clothes, he ran to Pingqing County to have fun.

As for how Zheng Dagui was not killed by the bandits, and how the bandits killed Sun Dasheng but did not take his belongings, we will have to wait for Mr. Zhou to find out after the trial.

The woman who was crying in the yamen yesterday was Li Yunying, Sun Dasheng's wife. She reported to the officials that Sun Dasheng hadn't returned home for many days, and when Sun Dasheng went out, he still had fifteen 100 taels of silver notes with him. To buy expensive medicinal materials.

At the beginning, Mr. Zhou characterized Sun Dasheng's disappearance as seeking money. As for the murder, there is still a glimmer of hope if he doesn't see the body.

During this period, the people in the government also tried their best to search everywhere, but after many investigations, they found nothing.

Because no one would have thought that Sun Dasheng's body had long been recognized by Zheng Dafu as Zheng Dagui, and he took it home and buried it.

It wasn't until last month that this unsolved case turned around. Someone who was close to Sun Dasheng saw the jade pendant that Sun Dasheng had been wearing all the time in a pawn shop.

The yamen servants followed this clue and learned from the shopkeeper of the pawnshop that the figure and appearance of Dang Yupei was of course Zheng Dagui.

After further investigation, it was found out that this person claimed to be Ma Gui, a businessman who came here to do business from other places, but unfortunately, the clues ended here.

Because some people in the casino said that Ma Gui owed them a lot of debts, and later when they were chasing the debts, they let Ma Gui run away.

But this time, Qi Wensheng said in his heart that it doesn't matter whether you are a horse, a cow, a pig or a dog, you are dying.

Thinking like this, Qi Wensheng wished he could finish the remaining half of the distance in the blink of an eye.Because things sometimes change rapidly, during the day and a half he has been out, he doesn't know if the village is calm or not.

The more this last critical moment, the less reassuring it is.

Qi Wensheng's idea is also reasonable, because Zheng Dagui over there has already stolen Zheng Dafu's household registration card and is about to run away.

At this time, in the main room of the Zheng family, the four members of the Zheng family were all sitting around the dining table. What surprised Li Shi today was that Zheng Dagui didn't eat much, and he didn't pick and choose what she cooked. I hate that.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm going back to the house first." Zheng Dagui stood up and patted Huzi's head while talking.

Li Shi barely choked on the food in his mouth, when did Zheng Dagui talk to them like this?

Zheng Dafu was also taken aback for a moment, how long has it been since he heard Zheng Dagui call him big brother?

Zheng Dagui went out of the main room, touched his trouser belt quietly, and there was Zheng Dafu's household registration card and a pair of Li's earrings stuffed inside.

He didn't eat much for lunch, because Zheng Dagui knew that if he was full, he would be too lazy to run away if he became lazy.

Zheng Dagui pretended to be strolling in the courtyard, and when he came to the gate, he suddenly pushed open a half-open wooden door, leaned out to take a look, and saw a person not far from the door, pretending to be walking past his house.

Hmph, this is the youngest son who went home for dinner, and it was Feng Laosi who came to watch him.

Zheng Dagui watched with a gloomy expression as Feng Laosi turned around the courtyard wall of his house, and immediately there was a little figure of Feng Laosi on the ground there.

Zheng Dagui closed the door angrily, this old fourth son Feng was more difficult to deal with than the third son, it seemed that after noon, the third son came to replace the fourth son Feng, and he went out again.

So Zheng Dagui went back to the house, and waited for a long time in a state of fidgeting. This period of time was really difficult for him. What he feared most was that Mrs. Li found out that she was missing jewelry and money.

However, no matter how difficult the time was, he managed to get through it. Zheng Dagui pretended to stroll out of the gate while Li Shi and the others were sleeping soundly.

Seeing Xiaosanzi folded his arms, leaning against the wall and almost falling asleep, Zheng Dagui's confidence in his escape has increased a lot.

Sure enough, after half an hour, Zheng Dagui walked around in the mountains and managed to get rid of the third son.

Seeing that there was no figure of the third son around, Zheng Dagui's heart surged with excitement, he will be able to escape from here soon!

Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Zheng Dagui hurried to the pine tree where the burden was buried, without taking a break.

It's just that he hadn't gone far, and unexpectedly the situation changed suddenly, and someone suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Zheng Dagui."

Zheng Dagui was so shocked that he almost stopped breathing.

Looking back slowly, Zheng Dagui secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it was okay, he was alone.
