Chapter 779: A Secret Known
Although the strong man is strong, he has a humble face, thinking that he is the second cow.
After Niu Lao Er walked out of the house, he looked at Bao Zheng and Hua Lang in a bit of a panic and asked, "...... you guys Who are you, why did you come into my house, you ......" Before Niu Laoer's words were finished, Bao Zheng suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Niu Laoer, we are from the government, and we came to investigate the murder of Bai Qiye." ”
After Niu Lao Er heard Bao Zheng's words, he was shocked, and the boss with a long mouth said, "Bai ...... White...... The Seventh Master was murdered? He...... Didn't he commit suicide by jumping into a well? ”
Bao Zheng saw that Niu Lao Er was so surprised, and felt very strange, thinking that Niu Lao Er still didn't know about this matter, but the villagers had already returned, didn't he hear about it? Thinking of this, Bao Zheng felt puzzled again, Bai Qiye was buried, why didn't this Niu Erzi follow, his daughter Niu Niu almost became Bai Qiye's wife?
Thinking of this, Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said: "We have already examined the body, Bai Qiye was killed before he was thrown into the well, I heard that Bai Qiye once gave a dowry to your daughter Niu Niu before he died, but is this so?" ”
Niu Lao Er looked nervous, and nodded again and again: "Back to the adult's words, it's true, it's just ...... It's just that we don't know who killed Bai Qiye. ”
"Yes or no, we'll look into it, you just have to answer the questions."
Niu Lao Er nodded again and again, and then led Bao Zheng and others into their own thatched hut, and everyone entered the thatched hut, only to find that the thatched house was separated by two boards, the middle is the middle hall, and the two sides are the bedrooms of Niu Lao Er and Niu Niu, although simple, but very clean and elegant.
After everyone sat down in the middle hall, Bao Zheng looked at Niu Lao Er and asked, "Where is your daughter Niu Niu?" ”
Niu Lao Er glanced at Westinghouse and shouted, "Daughter, come out and see the adult!" ”
Not long after, a woman came out of the West House, although this woman is not beautiful, but her body is very strong, her face is slightly dark, giving people a very healthy feeling, and she is very young, and she gives people a kind of vitality, a woman like Niu Niu, no wonder an old man like Bai Qiye will like it.
After Niu Niu saluted everyone, she stood aside, and it could be seen from her nervous face that she was full of wariness of Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and others.
Bao Zheng glanced at Niu Niu and asked, "Bai Qiye wants to marry you, what do you think?" ”
"I ......" Niu Niu looked very hesitant, but soon, she said in a loud voice: "I don't want to marry that old man at all, but my father owes him money, and we farm his land, if I don't marry him, he will send my father to see the official, and I was forced to agree to marry him." ”
After Niu Niu said this, Niu Lao Er couldn't help but sigh: "It's all my incompetence as a father, and I have to sacrifice my daughter's happiness to protect myself in the end, alas!" ”
Bao Zheng naturally understood the difficulties of the father and daughter, but the more he knew about the difficulties of the father and daughter, the more he felt that they were likely to be murderers, so Bao Zheng continued to ask: "Niu Niu, you don't want to marry Bai Qiye, I'm afraid there is another reason besides his age, right?" ”
Hearing Bao Zheng suddenly ask this question, Niu Niu's face turned red for a moment, and then she nodded: "I...... I like Brother Tiger, so I don't want to marry Bai Qiye, Bai Qiye is not a good person. ”
"Who is Brother Tiger?"
Niu Niu seemed a little hesitant, at this time, Niu Lao Er hurriedly said: "Huzi is a young man in our village, he is very honest, Niu Niu and I both like him very much, if it weren't for Bai Qiye's proposal, I'm afraid the two of them would have married now." ”
"Now what about the tiger?" Bao Zheng continued to ask.
Niu Lao Er sighed and said, "Since Hu Zi knew that I accepted Bai Qiye's proposal, he left our village, and we haven't seen him for several days. ”
As soon as they heard that Huzi was leaving because Bai Qiye was going to marry Niu Niu, Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and they felt that Huzi probably didn't leave because of this, but pretended to leave in order to kill Bai Qiye.
"Who else in the Huzi family doesn't have one?"
"No, his parents died when he was a child, and I often help him, so I know him best." When Niu Lao Er said this, his eyes looked at Bao Zheng and Hua Lang from time to time, and it was obvious that he had sensed Bao Zheng's suspicion of Huzi from Bao Zheng's questioning.
At this time, Bao Zheng frowned tightly and asked, "Do you think Huzi will kill Bai Qiye because of this incident?" ”
"This ...... This is absolutely impossible, although the tiger is strong, but he is very timid, he has never killed a large animal, let alone a human, this is absolutely impossible. ”
After listening to Niu Er's words, Bao Zheng glanced at Hua Lang, Hua Lang bowed slightly, and then said: "But Bai Qiye's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bai, said that Huzi and Niu Niu are extremely likely to kill Bai Qiye because they want to be together, what do you think of this matter?" ”
As soon as Hua Lang finished speaking, Niu Niu was suddenly angry and said, "She...... She is talking nonsense, there is no such thing at all, Brother Huzi will not kill, I think Bai Yu and his mother-in-law can kill people, I heard that Bai Qiye was ready to continue Mrs. Bai before, but then he was worried about others gossiping, so he married Mrs. Bai to his son, who knows if their Bai family will do that kind of thing that messes up the relationship! ”
Although Niu Niu looked simple, the words she said gave people a sense of surprise, and after Hua Lang, Bao Zheng and the others listened to Niu Niu's words, they immediately asked: "You mean that Bai Qiye is very likely to have a relationship with his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bai?" ”
Niu Niu raised her chin slightly, and said: "It is extremely possible that Bai Qiye was going to marry Mrs. Bai at that time, and the whole village knew the Tao clearly!" ”
After listening to Niu Niu's words, Hua Lang couldn't help but think of Bai Yu's cowardice, as well as the lingering in the backyard last night, that is to say, Mrs. Bai is a very woman, she not only has a relationship with Bai Qiye and her father-in-law, but also has a relationship with a man other than her husband Bai Yu and Bai Qiye, so who is that man?
When he thought of this, Hua Lang suddenly calmed down, because he felt that even if what Niu Niu said was true, then Niu Niu and Huzi were extremely suspicious, and Niu Niu said these words, it was hard to guarantee that it was not to clear her Huzi brother from suspicion.
Therefore, Hua Lang asked Gongsun Ce to draw the portrait of Huzi, and after leaving Niu Niu's house, he immediately asked Bao Zheng to send someone to search Huzi, maybe Huzi didn't leave the village at all!
