Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine Questioning the Case
"I heard..." Wei Wubai hesitated for a moment.
The Yamachai smiled and said, "As long as you don't rob the prison, just ask if you have anything to do, it's already full of storms in the city."
Wei Wubai asked, "I heard that Captain Xu died miserably."
When the yamen heard this, his expression changed slightly. He could not put the face in his mouth, but he nodded with embarrassment and said, "There is no good meat on his body, either the knife wound or the rotten meat that ants chewed with ants."
Wei Wubai laughed and said, "To be honest, everyone scolded him outside. He was dead, but many people applauded. I heard that his mansion was very rich, and he didn't bring any money when he went out. He would eat a king's meal wherever he went. I really don't know who he kept his money for."
"Hehe." The Yamashi smiled and said, "Give it to us." He said this meaningfully, then looked up at Wei Wubai.
Wei Wubai laughed and said, "No one has received his remains and no one has buried him."
The yamen said, "That man is domineering for so many years. Once he has gone, the young woman in the mansion is so happy that she will be firecrackers. Who cares about him? I don't know what happened that day. He didn't bring his money bag and had no choice. The government can't pay him a funeral fee. It's still our brothers who came to ask for three taels of silver. He made a straw mat for him and wrapped his body in the mass grave, and threw it to the mass grave."
"Bah, it's so unlucky. Why did you get on this job? You're still rolling your eyes when you have no money and you're not afraid of it, causing bad luck." Another yamen complained.
Wei Wubai laughed with him, and he had already asked all the questions. The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he ate two bowls of dry-button noodles. The old man who sold the noodles sighed: "The guest officer is so wide! What a wide belly! How can ordinary people withstand such food!"
After saying goodbye to the yamen, Wei Wubai rushed back to Fuhualou to reply.
Shen Kangzai listened carefully to the news he had said twice, got up and asked with a smile, "Are you sure the money bag on his body disappeared?"
Wei Wubai nodded and said, "I'm sure, I'm very honest, there's no need for them to lie to me about this little thing."
Shen Kang was overjoyed and said, "Okay! OK! OK!"
He praised him three times in a row, but the people in the room didn't know what was going on. Jiang Liuxian said anxiously: "What's so good, tell me quickly!"
Shen Kang smiled and said, "That day, the secret prostitute Li Niang told me that she saw Xu Dake rob the money that the vendor had given to her mother to treat her illness. What does this mean?"
Everyone pondered for a moment, and Wang Lucao said tentatively: "It means that he brought his purse out."
"That's right!" Shen Kang said with a smile: "After he died, his wallet disappeared. The burial fee was collected by the Yamen Pass, which means that his wallet was taken away by someone who was not the Yamen Pass! After Miss Diewu left the medicine shop, someone went in and took Xu Dake's wallet!"
In an instant, Zeng Guangxi's eyes lit up again, he stood up and said, "I, I'll go to the government office to seek justice!"
"No!" Shen Kang reached out to block his way.
Zeng Guangxi frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Shen Kang said: "Didn't you hear Wei Wubai's words? Those people are looking forward to leaving the case alone. If you go rashly, those yamen will not only not testify for her, but will also be accused of relying on your reputation as a scholar, making them suspicious, and even more cruelly forced to confess to Miss Die Wu!"
"This..." Zeng Guangxi really couldn't curb his impulse. He was anxious when he heard Wei Wubai vaguely saying that Die Wu was in prison!
Wang Lucao stood up and said, "Chen San is right. We are not fully sure. We must think carefully before acting, otherwise it will be a disaster for Butterfly Wu."
Zeng Guangxi was convinced after all, and nothing could convince him to be safer than Die Wu's safety.
Wang Lucao turned his eyes to Chen Kang and asked, "What should I do next?"
Chen Kang smiled slightly and said, "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Jiang Liuqi asked anxiously.
Chen Kang smiled slightly and said, "Before this, I need to find another person. I have to borrow Wuyang for one day."
Jiang Liuqi nodded and said, "Just use it, just treat it as your own people."
Chen Kang smiled slightly and said, "Wuyang, Wei Wubai, come with me."
The group left the Fuhua Building, and Chen Kang got on the carriage. The carriage drove out of the city gate and went to an unknown small village.
Most of the villages are fruit farmers who rely on the orchards on the mountain to eat.
At this time, it is neither early nor late. The strong laborers at home either go up the mountain to pick fruits or go to markets to sell them. The villages are mostly elderly, weak, women and children.
Chen Kang got off the bus at the entrance of the village and asked someone his surname to everyone. Following the guidance of the villagers, he came to the door of a thatched house.
This thatched house is really tattered, as if a strong wind is about to be blown down.
Chen Kang stood at the door and asked loudly: "Is Brother Li Si at home?"
"Li Si went to the market in the city, who is it?" An old woman in a cloth shirt walked out of the door.
Chen Kang looked at her and asked with a smile: "You are the high hall of Brother Li Si."
When the old woman saw Chen Kang's clothes, she became confused and said, "My little siren doesn't know any noble people. Did he cause any trouble? This child is honest and can't do bad things. You can show mercy and don't arrest my little siren."
Chen Kang smiled and said, "Auntie, I am not a noble person. Our master loves to eat mountain fruits. I discussed with Brother Li Si in the market and came to see the orchard, but he was not there."
When he heard that the God of Wealth was here, the old woman came forward happily and smiled and said, "Come in, come in quickly, the old woman will pour you a bowl of tea!"
After all, the person who came was a child, and a few words made the old woman relax. She thought Chen Kang was a child from a wealthy family and went out to buy fruits to eat.
After a while, the old woman came out with a tea bowl and smiled and said, "The jasmine flowers that she hangs at home will be drunk just by the noble man."
Chen Kang took the bowl and smiled and said, "I heard from Brother Li Si that you are sick, but you look very energetic today."
The old woman smiled and said, "It's better to rely on you customers. Xiao Si made money and hired a doctor for me. It's much better if I took medicine!"
Chen Kang smiled slightly and said, "The old man is better than anything else when he is healthy, so Brother Li Si can go out with peace of mind."
"Yes, hey..." the old man sighed and said, "When people are old, they are useless, and they will cause trouble for their children. I have given birth to four babies, but Xiao Si only supports me, hey..."
Chen Kang sighed softly and said, "Brother Li Si is virtuous."
"Who are you?"
A strange male voice rang out. Li Si stood at the door and looked at the person in the room, his heart was filled with anxiety, and he unconsciously touched the money bag on his waist.
Chen Kang noticed his little movement sensitively and said with a smile: "Brother Li Si, my surname is Xu. You forgot that day we made an appointment to see your orchard. Isn't your wallet the token I kept here?" As he said that, he glanced at the old woman with a threatening look.
Seeing this, Li Si's smile froze, he nodded in a daze, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Yes, yes."
Chen Kang stood up, politely to the old woman, and said, "Boy is gone, I'll take care of you."
The old woman didn't know what was going on, so she smiled kindly and said, "Neighbor is leaving now, please walk slowly!" and smiled and told, "Xiao Si, I'm so lucky to lead the way, don't let the nobleman sprain his ankle."
Li Si nodded and replied: "Yes, don't worry, mom."
Chen Kang had already arrived at the door, pulled off the purse from Li Si's waist, and smiled and said, "Let's go."
Li Si nodded, walked forward a few steps, turned to look at the old woman, and said, "Mom, I may not be here today. There is porridge on the stove. If you heat it up, just eat it with pickles. Close the door at night. If you have anything to do, go to Aunt Wang's house. There is still half a bag of rice in the kitchen, which is enough for you to eat for half a month. There are still fruits in the cellar. If you are not convenient for your legs and feet, you can ask Brother Gong to help you take it to sell."
The old woman smiled and said, "I understand, go quickly, don't delay."
"Hey!"
