Chapter 833 - To Kill
Being comforted by Hua Lang like this, Xiang Xi calmed down a lot.
After thinking about it like this, he suddenly said: "There was nothing unusual when my father left the house yesterday, but before he used to say that someone wanted to kill him, and when he saw someone, he hid, and we just thought he was playing, so we didn't pay much attention to it, after all, we really couldn't think of it, who would think of killing my father." ”
Xiang Xi said this, and hurriedly added: "Saying that someone wants to kill him, it was after my father had a problem with his head, and when he was sober before, it wasn't like this." ”
After listening to Xiang Xi's words, Hua Lang bowed his head slightly to show his understanding, and then asked, "Then when did your father have a bad head?" ”
Xiang Xi thought for a while and said: "Probably this summer, he went out to play that day, and when he came home, he babbled nonsense, and we couldn't understand what he said. ”
"So do you know where he went that day?"
"I don't know what to do, we originally wanted to ask my father, and then find out the root cause, but when I asked my father, he couldn't tell why, and he went to the village to ask, but he didn't ask anything, and finally it was over."
He couldn't ask anything from Xiang Xi, so Hua Lang gave Bao Zheng a look, and after Bao Zheng understood, he said to Xiang Xi: "Because your father was murdered, the body can't be taken away by you for the time being, you can go back first, and after we discuss, go back to your village to investigate clearly." ”
Xiang Xi naturally understood what Bao Zheng meant, so he didn't say much else, just begged Bao Zheng to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge his father, and then left the mansion directly, when he left the mansion, his expression was still sad.
And after Xiang Xi left, Hua Lang immediately asked the official to follow quietly.
Seeing Hua Lang like this, Bao Zheng was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Hua suspects that he is a murderer?" ”
Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said with a light smile: "It's not that I doubt it, I just think that he didn't tell him some things directly." ”
"Oh, those things?"
Hua Lang shrugged: "I don't know what the specific things are, but don't you think it's strange, Xiang Xi said that his family background is average, but when we look at the clothes on the deceased, it seems to be very simple, and Xiang Xi can't compare with it at all." ”
When Hua Lang mentioned this, everyone immediately realized that this was indeed the case.
It's just that at this time, Gongsun Ce hurriedly explained: "Could it be that the murderer stripped the deceased's clothes?" ”
"But I didn't see very many clothes on the deceased's body, and after Xiang Xi saw his father, he wasn't surprised to say how the clothes had changed."
When Hua Lang said this, everyone had to nod, believing that Xiang Xi did hide something from everyone.
At this time, Bao Zheng seemed to think of something and asked: "If you want to know what Lu Dao Xiang Xi is hiding from us, let's just go to Xiang Jiazhuang directly, stay here, what can we know about Lu Dao?" ”
This is indeed a truth, but Hua Lang smiled: "If we go with a large group of people, we can know what Lu Dao is, let's wait for the official to come back." ”
Winter days are cold, especially after midday when the snow begins to melt and the temperature is even lower.
The cold wind was blowing, and everyone was anxious waiting in the palace.
After waiting like this for about two hours, the official finally came back, and when he returned, the tip of his nose was slightly red, his lips were cold and purple, and his teeth were chattering.
After entering the living room to warm up for a while, the official hurriedly said: "I followed that Xiang Xi according to the instructions of the playboy, and after he went home, I heard him talking to his wife, it turned out that his wife hated Xiang Dang very much, and always wanted to sweep him out of the house." ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and angry in their hearts, from ancient times to the present, Pepsi filial piety is the rule that has never changed, but that Xiang Xi's wife actually wanted to knock Xiang Dang away from home, which is simply a big rebellion.
At this time, the official continued: "Because this party is a scholar, when his head was sober before, he could still teach in a private school to earn some money for his family, but since his head went wrong, he couldn't do anything, not only could he not do anything, but he was also noisy all day long, causing trouble for the neighbors, that Xiang Xi's wife saw her father-in-law like this, she couldn't bear it, and she wanted to persuade Xiang Xi to throw Xiang Dang outside and let him fend for himself, and Xiang Xi was a master who was afraid of his wife. Sandwiched between his wife and morality, he lingered. ”
After the official said this, everyone understood Xiang Xi's matter a little better, and after understanding this, everyone couldn't help but wonder, could this party be killed by Xiang Xi and his wife?
Bao Zheng is the most filial piety, when he listened to the words of the servant, he was immediately furious, and said: "This couple, regardless of a little family affection, came to the people, and brought them husband and wife, this government will teach them a good lesson today, in order to warn the world." ”
As soon as Bao Zheng shouted like this, those officials immediately wanted to act, but at this time, Hua Lang suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Bao is slow, now that everything has not been investigated clearly, you should first teach a moral lesson, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, I think it's better to wait for the investigation of the murder case to be clear, and then it's not too late to teach Xiang Xi and his wife a lesson, otherwise if you teach us such a lesson, they won't tell us the truth, then wouldn't we be in vain!" ”
Bao Zheng was about to send someone to teach Xiang Xi and his wife a lesson just now, which was also caused by a moment of anger, but now after listening to Hualang's words, he naturally won't be so reckless, just asked: "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Take all the people and go to Xiangjiazhuang until you find the murderer!"
"Do you think the murderer is in Xiangjiazhuang?"
"That's right, an old man like Xiang Dang, will he offend anyone in the capital? I think the root of the matter must be in Xiang Jiazhuang, last night, the murderer must have followed Xiang Dang into the city, and then killed Xiang Dang on a deserted street. ”
Now that Hua Lang has said so, Bao Zheng didn't ask any more, and after directly ordering the people, he led the people straight to Xiangjiazhuang.
Everyone went out of the capital, walked for about an hour, and came to Xiangjiazhuang, at this time Xiangjiazhuang was covered by a piece of snow, and because it was now before evening, the afterglow of the sun shone on the village, giving people an indescribable sense of tranquility.
But when everyone thought that there was a murderer in such a peaceful Zhuangzi, that sense of tranquility suddenly disappeared.
At this time, everyone found that not far from Xiangjiazhuang, there was also a faint village, which was the same as Xiangjiazhuang, but they didn't know much before.
