Chapter 157: Suspicion for no reason.

Screams echoed through the lobby.

Li Dadou was beaten and fainted to death three times, and finally couldn't bear the torture and confessed to killing people.

Bao Zheng saw that Li Dadou admitted it, and immediately ordered the officials to escort Li Dadou to the county government and behead him on a certain day.

The people outside the hall saw this scene and had a lot of complaints, but because of Bao Zheng's court officials, none of them dared to come forward to say more, Hua Lang saw the people like this, and sighed in his heart, the most ordinary people, it turned out that they were also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

Back in the inner hall, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, now that Li Dadou has confessed, what should we do next?" ”

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then spoke: "Find out the person who cut the cow's tongue first, if he really has a holiday with Li Sanpi, then he must always pay attention to Li Sanpi's movements, so that he is very likely to see the scene last night, and if he finds him, he may know who the murderer is." ”

This is indeed a possibility, everyone agrees with it, and at this time, Hua Lang continued: "Wen Meng and I went to investigate this matter, Brother Yin and Hua Wan'er went to the gambling house, Li Dadou went to the gambling house for sure, and the people there said that they had never seen Li Dadou, it was very likely that he was instructed by someone, maybe it was the murderer's finger, you find a way to make the people in the gambling house speak, and you may be able to find clues to the murderer from where." ”

After Hua Lang finished assigning, Bao Zheng hurriedly asked, "Do you need our yamen to do something?" ”

Hua Lang nodded, then smiled slightly, and said: "Naturally, we need it, we need Lord Bao to look happy, so that the murderer outside thinks that we have been fooled and have regarded Li Dadou as a murderer, so as to confuse the murderer." ”

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were a little surprised when they heard this, but this was not very difficult for them, as long as they did not send officials to investigate the matter, then this matter would be over in the eyes of outsiders.

After doing so, they went their separate ways.

Hua Lang and Wen Meng came to Lijia Village where Li Sanpi was located again, and learned about the situation from some villagers in Lijia Village.

One of these two people is called Li Shui, the other is called Chen Tu, Li Shui and Li Sanpi are from their own family, the same great-grandfather's, and the relationship with Li Sanpi is also good at ordinary times, drinking and playing together, but when planting wheat this year, Li Sanpi planted two crops, so that Li Shui's land was occupied a little, Li Shui saw this and there and was willing, he had to ask for this kind of wheat in his field, which was understandable, but although Li Shui asked for it, he refused to give Li Sanpi some of the seeds sown into the ground to Li Sanpi. Li Sanpi felt that he was at a loss, but he didn't say much else, but just a few days ago, when the wheat was growing, Li Sanpi took advantage of Li Shui's absence and pulled out all the wheat he had planted in Li Shui's field.

Now that the season of planting wheat has passed, the two stubbles in Li Shui's field are deserted, Li Shui is very angry when he sees this, so he fell out with Li Sanpi, and they all started at that time, if it wasn't for the neighbors to persuade them, I am afraid that now both of them are sick in bed.

Chen Tu is not from Lijia Village, he moved here from outside, he is more cowardly by nature, and he does not fight in everything, but he is such a person, but he married a beautiful daughter-in-law, that Chen is very beautiful, and is often molested by some scoundrels in the village, Chen Tu can't afford to provoke these people, so he let his daughter-in-law go out less to show up, the woman also understands, so he still keeps his duty, but a woman's family, can't stay at home all the time, one day this woman went out for a walk, and met Li Sanpi on the road, This Li Sanpi is a single, usually looks quite honest, but when he saw Chen Tu's woman, his heart suddenly rippled, and he didn't know what was going on at that time, and suddenly wanted to step forward to do something to the woman, the woman was frightened, fled in a hurry, and told Chen Tu about it after returning home, this Chen Tu saw that Li Sanpi, who had always been honest, also bullied his mother, and the anger in his heart finally broke out, so in a fit of anger, he took a kitchen knife and found Li Sanpi.

Li Sanpi knew that he was wrong, and he was afraid that Chen Tu would really cut him, so he went out to hide for a few days, and gave some money for the neighbors to talk about Xiang Xiang, and then dared to go home, but although he came back, Chen Tu must still have resentment towards him.

After Hua Lang and Wen Meng learned about these situations, they went to find Li Shui together, Li Shui's home is not very far from Li Sanpi's house, when they found Li Shui, Li Shui was repairing farm tools in the yard, humming some Yanqu of the lower riba people in his mouth, as if he was very excited, after Hua Lang and Wen Meng entered, Li Shui was surprised at first, and then asked very calmly: "What are the two of you, what are you doing in my broken farmhouse?" ”

Hua Lang saw that Li Shui's expression was not panicked, so he smiled lightly: "We are Li Sanpi's employer, and he asked us to help him investigate who cut his family's cow tongue." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Li Shui smiled disdainfully and said, "Isn't Li Sanpi already dead, are you still doing things for the dead?" ”

The corners of Hua Lang's mouth curled slightly, and he said: "After receiving the deposit from others, the matter must be handled well." ”

Li Shui didn't give up his seat to Hualang and them, he still kept knocking on the farm tools, and said: "Since this is the case, then you will investigate, do you suspect that I cut the cow tongue of Li Shui's family?" ”

Hua Lang smiled casually and said: "That's right, I just suspect you, because as far as we know, you have a holiday with Li Sanpi, and he caused your land to be wasted, so that you can harvest a lot of grain, and for this hatred, you are extremely likely to cut off the tongue of the cow." ”

Li Shui's brows were furrowed, but his expression was as usual, and he said: "It's no wonder, because it's normal for you to suspect me, but do you have evidence to prove that I cut off the cow tongue of Li Sanpi's family?" I don't agree with Li Sanpi anymore, and I will go to his house again, besides, Li Sanpi is stingy, and he sees a cow as more expensive than himself, and no one is allowed to use it, and sometimes he sleeps with the cow in his arms when he sleeps at night, am I a person like me, have I a chance to cut the cow's tongue? ”

Li Shui's words made Hua Lang look at this flat-headed person with admiration, but even so, it made Hua Lang even more suspicious of him, but what Li Shui said was not wrong at all, he has no evidence now, and he can only be suspicious.

"If you two don't have anything to ask, then forgive me for not being able to accompany them, the poor people are miserable, and I'll try to make this hoe good later." Li Shui said, his eyes revealing a kind of disdain.
