Chapter 849: Pathfinding
The snowflakes were getting bigger, and Hua Lang, Bao Zheng and the others walked along the river for a while, and then they saw the place where Xiang Shang came to fish yesterday.
The place was extremely high, and the river was frozen, but there was one place where the ice was extremely thin, and I think it was the place where Xiang Shang had chiseled and fished yesterday.
Everyone looked at the thin layer of ice, and suddenly a wave of sadness hit them.
Yesterday, after Xiang Shang learned that his son and daughter-in-law were going home, he came here to fish despite the severe cold, but what he never expected was that the fish would kill him.
They looked at the stones by the river, and seemed to be able to think of Xiang Shang sitting there fishing yesterday, although it was cold, but their hearts were happy, because their family could finally be reunited.
Isn't that father like this in the world and on earth?
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, gradually covering that layer of thin ice, the cold wind blows colder, everyone has been looking here for a long time, and has not found any clues, at this time, Bao Zheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said: "Today Liu Bang is married, it's time for us to go." ”
There was a faint sound of blowing in Liujiazhuang in the distance, and Hua Lang bowed slightly: "Find a way from here and see if you can go to Liujiazhuang." ”
The road is easy to find, everyone looked for a while nearby, and then found a road to Liujiazhuang.
At this time, the road was full of snow, and the snow was white, but when everyone was walking like this, they found a jade pendant swaying in the wind on the dead tree on the side of the road, the jade pendant was not very valuable, but it was something that men liked to wear.
It was really strange to find a jade pendant in this place, Hua Lang took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "The jade pendant has not been covered by snow yet, and I think it fell here yesterday." ”
As soon as Hua Lang said this, the first thought that came to everyone's mind was that this thing was left by the murderer.
After handing over the jade pendant to Bao Zheng, Hua Lang instructed that after he went back, he would send someone to investigate who this jade pendant belonged to, and maybe the owner of the jade pendant really met Xiang Xiang yesterday.
Walk along the road to Liujiazhuang, and at the end, you will also arrive at Liujiazhuang, because today Liujiazhuang's owner Liu Gang is married, so even if it snows, it is very lively here.
After they saw Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, they were first shocked, and then saluted and greeted, and then continued to rush to Liu Bang's mansion.
Hua Lang and Bao Zheng followed everyone to the Liu Bang's mansion, at this time the house was very lively, the bride Lu Feng had already been picked up, many women pulled Lu Feng to chat, and Liu Bang was responsible for the street guests.
When Liu Bang saw Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said, "Master Bao and the playboy can come, my Liu Bang is really fortunate to have three lives, please sit down." ”
After all, today is a happy event for Liu Gang, so Hua Lang and Bao Zheng were embarrassed to ask him immediately, and after saying a word of please, they each found a place to sit down.
But said that after Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and the others sat down, a servant hurriedly came to Bao Zheng and them, and whispered in Bao Zheng's ear, Bao Zheng was shocked after listening, and then whispered to Hua Lang: "Our people investigated that Liu Bang had been to the back of the river yesterday. ”
"What? Has Liu Bang been? Hanarang was also surprised.
Bao Zheng bowed: "Did you call Liu Bang to ask?" ”
Now that the guests of Liu's Mansion have almost arrived, Liu is so busy that he doesn't even have time to put out the snowflakes on his head, Hualang glanced at him, his eyebrows were slightly condensed, and then said: "Please ask him to talk elsewhere." ”
After the official understood what Hua Lang meant, he went to report to Liu Bang, and after Liu Bang heard the words of the official officer, he looked shocked, and ran to Bao Zheng and Hua Lang to salute them, and said a word of invitation with a nervous expression, and then led them to a secluded place.
That place should be Liu Bang's study, although it is not full of bookish atmosphere, but it is also antique, after everyone sat down in the study, Liu Bang looked nervous, but he did not speak.
Bao Zheng glanced at Liu Bang, took out the jade pendant he found today from his arms, and said, "This is yours?" ”
After Liu Bang saw the jade pendant, he was taken aback at first, and then nodded: "Yes, it's just that this jade pendant was lost by me yesterday, how can it be here for adults?" ”
Bao Zheng snorted coldly, did not answer Liu Bang's question, but continued to ask: "Yesterday, you went to the small river behind Zhuangzi?" ”
Liu Bang's eyes were full of nervousness and fear, and after a long time, he nodded: "I...... I did go there, but what the hell is going on? ”
Bao Zheng glared at Liu Bang, faintly angry, at this time, Hua Lang hurriedly said: "Master Liu, here's the thing, yesterday Xiang Shang went to the small river to fish, but at night, he was poisoned because he ate the fish he caught there, since you have been there, I think you should have seen Xiang Shang, right?" ”
As soon as Hua Lang said this, Liu Bang immediately understood what Bao Zheng meant by those questions just now, and after understanding, he hurriedly shouted that he was wronged.
"Master Bao, dude, I did go to that place yesterday, but I didn't see Xiang Shang, when I went, there was no one there, and...... And ......"
Liu Bang said a few more in a row, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.
At this time, Bao Zheng asked coldly: "And what?" ”
Liu Bang still seemed hesitant, Hua Lang saw this, and said: "If Master Liu Zhuang has anything to say, wouldn't it be better if he could prove your innocence?" ”
Liu Bang was silent, and after a long time, he took out a letter from his body, handed it to Hua Lang, and said, "I went because of this letter." ”
Hua Lang opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that it was written: If you don't want Mei Ji to have something to do, come to the small river behind Zhuangzi in the afternoon.
After everyone circulated to each other and read the letter, Liu Bang said: "Although Mei Ji and I have not been in contact for a long time, I still don't allow anyone to hurt her, so I went to the small river behind Zhuangzi in the afternoon according to the letter, but after I went, I didn't see anyone, and at that time, I realized that I had been tricked." When I went back, my jade pendant accidentally fell off, I once turned back to look for it, but I didn't find it, thinking that the jade pendant was not worth anything, so I gave up. ”
After Liu Bang finished saying this, his expression was a little better, and at this time, Bao Zheng looked at him and asked, "You don't know who is the person who wrote this letter?" ”
Liu Bang shook his head: "I don't know what to do, and I've never seen this kind of handwriting." ”
