It's daylight.
Xu Zhen and others explained clearly what needed to be explained, and then left it to their village to handle it themselves.
Several respectable old people acted as Li Zheng and took Meng Zhicai into custody. They would contact Baozheng (the mayor) of Thousand Willows Town later and discuss how to take him to the county government for processing...
"Miss," Xu Zhen, who was about to mount his horse at the entrance of the village, asked Li Chan'er, "when did you realize that Li Qian was not the real murderer in this case?"
Unexpectedly, Miss Li remained silent, with a wise light in her cold eyes.
However, the corners of her usually cold mouth were slightly raised, as if there was a smile on her face.
Well, since she refuses to say it, I shouldn't ask blindly.
"So...Miss Li," Xu Zhen said, "It's already dawn, and it's not far from Thin Willow Town. Let's just say goodbye!"
"Oh?" Li Chan'er was surprised, "Don't you need me to follow you?"
"No need, I will handle the rest on my own." Xu Zhen cupped his hands and said, "Luo is grateful to Miss Li for her help in burying her relatives.
"Miss Li, um..." Xu Zhen said with a bit of reluctance, "We have been together for a long time, but we have never forgotten each other in the world. Please take care of yourself, and we will see you in the world someday!"
"Okay," Li Chan'er said in return with a Xuan Dao gesture, "I'll see you later!"
Xu Zhen turned around and mounted his horse. After clasping his fists again, he urged the horse to raise his whip and rode away in the direction of Thin Willow Town...
"Hey? Hey hey..." However, when Xu Zhen had already run far away, the escort who was traveling with him remembered something and hurriedly shouted, "No, that's our escort's horse?"
"Miss," he complained bitterly, "It's just that this person doesn't pay for the escort, and he also made us a good horse. This... this is such a loss!"
Li Chan'er ignored the comments from the escort, but looked at the direction where Xu Zhen disappeared and frowned in deep thought, still savoring the words Xu Zhen said before leaving:
"It's better to help each other than to forget each other in the rivers and lakes..."
Why do you feel that this sentence seems to be talking about the love between men and women?
The more she tasted it, the more profound she felt that this sentence contained something profound, as if it had touched something deep in her heart...
…
Half an hour later, Meng Zhichao and his wife Yuniang returned to their home.
Because he couldn't speak clearly, Meng Zhichao could only sign in sign language, saying that they were really lucky this time. If they hadn't encountered the knights from the Tianxiong Escort Agency, they would have been cut to pieces in the end. !
However, after the gesture, Meng Zhichao discovered that something was not right with his wife Yuniang. He saw her pacing back and forth anxiously and turned a deaf ear to Meng Zhichao's words, as if she had something on her mind.
So Meng Zhichao quickly held his wife's shoulders and gestured to her, asking her if something had happened.
"Ms. sir," Yu Niang said with great excitement, "didn't you hear just now that the young man who helped us clear our grievances introduced someone to me?"
"Oh?" Meng Zhichao was puzzled and gestured hurriedly, "Who is it?"
"He asked us to spend some time and go to Yanping County Government to find a man named Xu Zhen," Yuniang said. "He said that only this man can help us find out the truth three years ago and find out what happened to us. Who was the person who poisoned the wedding banquet?!"
…
At half past midnight, Li Chaner and the escort returned to Tianxiong Escort Bureau.
It is conceivable that when Li Chaner learned that someone made a scene in the escort agency last night and snatched her father away, she was naturally furious.
"How brave!" Li Chan'er shouted angrily in the inner hall, "Who did it?"
"It's the yamen, the county yamen," the old escort said quickly, "Miss, during the melee yesterday, we arrested a few troublemakers. They said that the yamen sent them to our escort agency.
"They also said that the Yamen promised them that as long as they caught one person from our escort agency, they would be exempted from the crime."
"Crime? What crime?" Li Chan'er was confused.
"Those people are all subordinates of Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian. They should have been sentenced to exile," the old escort hurriedly explained, "but the county magistrate promised them that as long as they can catch one person from our escort agency, their crimes will be pardoned!"
"Ah?" Li Chan'er was even more confused, "Why is this? Where did our escort agency offend them? How many of us were captured by them last night?"
"Only...only one was captured," the old escort said, "That's our Mr. Li, the head escort!"
"Oh?" Li Chan'er thought about it for a moment and quickly realized the truth, "So, from the beginning, they were targeting my father?"
"Yes," the old escort said, covering the injured back of his head, "outsiders say that there are four big bullies in our Yanping County. Qiu Zhennong has been stabbed and executed, and Cui Xiaotian has also been detained by the Yamen. I didn't expect...it would be his turn so soon. We’ve arrived at the head of Mr. Li’s bodyguard!”
"This is simply unreasonable!" Li Chan'er slapped hard, and the armrest of the seat broke instantly. "Although my father was born in a green forest, he has never done anything harmful to nature. How can he associate with those bullies?
"The yamen has no evidence and arrests people as soon as they say it. It is simply too much to deceive people!"
"Miss... um... alas..." the old escort hesitated.
"What's wrong, second uncle?" Li Chan'er noticed something unusual and asked immediately, "What do you want to say?"
"Alas..." the old escort said, "As I said yesterday, Mr. Luo came here in a strange way. You really shouldn't accept his escort!"
"Oh?" Li Chan'er suddenly realized, "It turns out... this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain! But... I clearly saw five corpses from the ruined temple, which is exactly what he said. Where did those corpses... come from?"
"Now that I think about it," the old escort said, "we must have been deceived. If Mr. Luo's words are true, then he would have been frightened and must have sought shelter. How can he think about burying the body?"
"Oh ah……"
Li Chan'er was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and she was trembling all over. She had obviously figured out everything, and she had clearly fallen into the trap set by the fake Mr. Luo.
"It's too much! It's too much!" Li Chan'er flicked the fly whisk, firmly stuck it on the table, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the Yamen to ask for someone now!"
"Hey? Don't, don't, don't..." the old escort quickly advised, "Miss, you must calm down, the three people who kidnapped my eldest brother last night are not weak in martial arts.
"Moreover, since they dare to do this, it means that they are fully prepared. Maybe..." the old escort said, "The Yamen has already set up a dragnet, waiting for you to go! We must not catch him. Tao!"
"Huh, dragnet," Li Chan'er said domineeringly, "What can I do if the sky falls and the earth collapses?"
"Don't stop ..." The old dart teacher persuaded again, "If you insist on going, then the old age will gather all the brothers now, with you ... hey?"
As a result, before the old escort had finished speaking, he discovered that Miss Li had long disappeared.
"Ouch... Oops!"
Only then did the old escort remember that there was one more important thing. Before he had time to report to Miss Li, there was a secret room in Mr. Li's room!
Thinking of this, he quickly ran to the front hall and gathered people...
