Chapter 158: The Woman's Pain and Troubles
Chapter 158: The Woman's Pain and Troubles.
When he walked out of Li Shui's house, Hua Lang felt a frustration that he had never felt before.
Of course, it's not because he didn't ask for valuable clues, but because he didn't have any way to take an ordinary person.
It was already a little late, but they decided to go to Chen Tu's house.
It was a shabby-looking house, with a few unknown trees planted in a small courtyard, and by this time the leaves had fallen into a whole courtyard, and there was a well near the corner, and beside it lay a wooden bucket with water and clothes to be changed, but there was no woman.
When Hanaro saw all this, he felt that something was wrong, so he rushed in without knocking on the door, and they searched the little dilapidated house, where there was no trace of anyone left, and all the valuable things had been packed away.
After seeing this, Wen Meng was a little annoyed, and said: "If Chen Tu knew that Dao Chen Tu would escape, we would have come to him first, and now that he has escaped, there is no doubt that he will be the one who cut the tongue of the ox." ”
Wen Meng's anger was not a taste in Hua Lang's heart, and the two setbacks in a day made him a little unbearable.
Moreover, the suburbs are not as good as Tianchang County, and at a certain time someone closes the city gate, even if the city gate is not closed, someone will find out when they leave, but now in the suburbs, there is a wide space around, and it is really difficult to find them.
Wen Meng was angry on the side, Hua Lang carefully looked at Chen Tu's room, although the room was shabby, but it was very warm, it can be seen that Chen Tu's woman is a thrifty woman, and in addition, Hua Lang also found a ceramic jar with water, stones, and even a few very small fish, Wen Meng saw Hua Lang looking at the fish, and asked a little puzzled: "What is there to look at a few small fish, now that they have escaped, let's hurry up and chase it." ”
It is necessary to chase it, but Hua Lang didn't seem to be in a hurry, but said: "What was raised in this ceramic jar before was not fish, look at these stones and small fish, it should be a turtle, these fish are turtle food, I think it should be Chen Tu afraid that his wife will be lonely at home, so he caught her to relieve her boredom." ”
"But so what?" Wen Meng asked puzzled.
Hua Lang smiled faintly, did not answer Wen Meng's puzzlement, but immediately pulled Wen Meng out of Chen Tu's house.
After coming outside, Hua Lang was very careful to inspect the surroundings, there were weeds all around, Wen Meng didn't think there could be any clues here, but Hua Lang looked carefully, Wen Meng had to wait.
After a while, Hua Lang said excitedly, "They fled east, and we will catch up." ”
Because there is some distance from Tianchang County to Lijia Village, they came on horseback when they came, and now they are riding on horses galloping in the open suburbs, giving people a very comfortable feeling, and at this time, Wen Mengcai asked: "How can you be sure that they are going east?" ”
Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Look at the footprints and water stains." ”
"Footprints and water stains?" Wen Meng was a little puzzled.
Hua Lang nodded: "That's right, Chen Tu and his wife must have taken a lot of things when they escaped, so the footprints they left behind will be deeper than usual, and they took away the turtle they raised, and there is water on the turtle, and it is inevitable that some will fall. ”
Listening to Hualang's words, Wen Meng suddenly woke up, so he quickly whipped up his horse and headed east.
The east has always been full of weeds, and after walking through the weeds out of the boundary of Tianchang County, it will be in Yangzhou, but if you want to get to Yangzhou, it will take a day, Chen Tu and his woman dare not take a carriage in the village, it must be after walking through the weeds, and rent it to the nearby existence, so it is a waste of time, so Hualang and Wen Meng are very confident that they can find them.
After about half an hour, they finally caught up.
At that time, they had already come out of the weeds, and a few miles ahead was another village, and when Chen Tu and his woman saw Hua Lang and Wen Meng, they immediately didn't care about anything else, and rushed forward, but where could they outrun the horses on their two legs?
After stopping Chen Tu and his woman, Hua Lang immediately asked, "Are you Chen Tu?" ”
Chen Tu refused to answer, Hua Lang then glanced at the woman beside Chen Tu, so he smiled faintly: "You woman has a bit of a look, isn't it the Chen family that Li Sanpi covets?" ”
Hearing Hua Lang say this, Chen Tuke was frightened, and suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Spare my life, I'...... We didn't kill Li Sanpi. ”
Hua Lang smiled coldly: "Since you didn't kill Li Sanpi, why did you two escape?" ”
Chen Tu looked sad, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "It's my incompetence, it's my cowardice, and as a result, my wife was bullied by those disciples, I don't want my wife to stay there and be wronged, so I thought about taking her away, going to a new place, and living a new life." ”
As soon as Chen Tu finished speaking, the woman beside him hurriedly said: "It's not my husband's fault, I begged him to leave Lijia Village, that place is not our home, and we don't want to stay." ”
Are they telling the truth? Wen Meng was suspicious of this, because she felt that these two people had left too strangely and at the right time, why did they leave when they came to look for them, there were so many opportunities before, why didn't they leave, and since they were leaving, why didn't they hire a carriage?
Wen Meng was full of doubts, so without waiting for Hua Lang to speak, he took the lead in asking, "Yes, then why did you choose to leave at night, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go far, right?" ”
"We ...... We ......" Chen Tu and his woman hesitated for a moment.
Wen Meng saw that the two of them were stopped by herself, and she was a little proud, she glanced at Hua Lang, as if to say, look, how good I am.
Hua Lang smiled at Wen Meng's actions, and then he asked, "Say, why did you suddenly think of leaving, was it because you killed Li Sanpi and left because you were afraid?" ”
Listening to Hualang's intimidation, Chen Tu was really frightened, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, it was after you pulled Li Sanpi's body away this afternoon, Li Shui came to me and said that I had threatened to kill Li Sanpi with a knife, if you knew about it, I would definitely arrest me and put me in prison, I was afraid, so I discussed leaving with my wife, and my wife also wanted to leave, so we left." ”
After Chen Tu finished speaking, the woman hurriedly echoed: "That's right, it was indeed Li Shui who told us that you wanted to arrest my husband and put him in prison, and my husband was going to leave." ”
Wen Meng and Hua Lang glanced at each other, and immediately understood that all this was just Li Shui's conspiracy.
