Suddenly, the door banged, but the person shouting outside the door was not Wu Dalang.
After a while, the door opened, and it was not Wu Dalang who came in, but a raw melon egg in his fifteenth or sixteenth year.
"Brother Yun? Why are you here?"
Pan Jinlian was still somewhat impressed by this boy, and his immature face was full of panic.
"Sister-in-law of the Wu family..."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Zhengyi standing behind him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't know what he thought of.
He asked a little strangely: "Are you Li Er, the silver burden man?"
Seeing that the other party actually knew him, Li Zhengyi felt a little curious. He had only bought half a box of crisp pears from this boy, so how could he know his name?
"You know me?"
Brother Yun glanced at the two of them with a complicated expression before he said, "There are very few people in Yanggu County who don't know your...story..."
Li Zhengyi was a little surprised when he heard this. Li Er has some reputation in Yanggu County, but he has such a big reputation without knowing it.
But these things have nothing to do with me, and I will leave in less than half a month.
"What's the matter with you here? Why are you shouting at the door for no reason?"
Brother Yun saw that he was an outsider here, but the two of them still looked indifferent. Pan Jinlian also let the silver burden make the decision, and couldn't help but feel that coming here was a bit unnecessary.
But now that I have come, I still have to say what I need to say, so he said calmly, "Wu Da was arrested by the government."
"Wu Dalang was arrested by the government?!"
"Wu Dalang was arrested by the government!!"
As soon as Brother Yun said the news he wanted to convey, there were two exclamations in the house.
Li Zhengyi and Pan Jinlian looked at each other, one surprised and the other panicked.
Young brother Yun was a little confused when he saw the two people's completely different expressions. How could they react like this.
As a child who hasn't grown up yet, he doesn't understand.
"How did Wu Da get caught? He was selling pancakes."
Seeing that Li Er was more anxious than himself, Brother Yun thought that no matter who it was, as long as there was someone willing to take charge. Suddenly he found his backbone and said a lot of things.
"Are you saying that Wu Dalang stole Mr. Lin's concubine's bellyband and a gold hairpin, and that they were stolen by others?"
"Okay, I didn't expect that Wu Dalang, who looks like a loyal person, is actually a treacherous person. If he does such a scandal now, how will I see anyone in the future!"
Pan Jinlian just heard this and didn't go to confirm whether it was indeed the case, so she took the opportunity to get into trouble.
When the young Brother Yun saw her aggressive appearance, he suddenly felt that he really shouldn't have come, and the Wuhan University family was probably about to break up.
"Shut up! You bitch, why don't you get out of the way!"
A sharp shout suddenly sounded in the room, making the other two people stunned for a moment.
Although Pan Jinlian was a little angry, she didn't dare to say anything more, let alone have any dissatisfaction with Li Zhengyi.
I just thought about what I did wrong to make this good man so angry.
Young brother Yun was even more puzzled as to why the silver burden made Wu's sister-in-law shut up obediently with just one word. This is not his family matter, and this is not his home.
"Brother Yun, don't be afraid. Please tell me what happened today in detail."
Seeing that Li Zhengyi looked like a thunderstorm just now, but now he immediately became friendly and asked himself, Brother Yun felt a little flattered even though he didn't know how serious he was.
However, he also grew up in the street market since he was a child. Although he was a little nervous, he could still explain things clearly.
"Today Wu Da and I went to North Street to sell things in the streets as usual. When we got tired, we rested under the wall on the street. It happened to be the wall of Mr. Lin's house, with the shady side and the sunny side. We also rested there on weekdays. "
"At that time, we two... we two..."
"What are you two doing? Tell me!"
Brother Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "We are...discussing which maid in Mr. Lin's family is more beautiful."
…
I didn't expect that Wu Dalang was really that kind of person, he looked so simple and honest, but he was actually good at this.
But it shouldn't be. He glanced at Pan Jinlian, who was standing next to her like a flower. She didn't understand why Wu Dalang had such a lovely wife in his family, so he still missed this maid from someone else's family.
Brother Yun saw that no one was laughing at him, so he continued: "While I was talking enthusiastically, someone suddenly called Wu Da at the side door of Lin Mansion, saying that they needed a lot of cooking cakes in the house, and asked him to deliver it."
"I originally wanted to follow him in, but was blocked, so I had to wait at the door. After a while, Wu Dalang came out with a heavy smile on his back. I asked him what he wanted to do, but he didn't say anything. He just said he would invite me to have a drink. "
"But before he could walk out of North Street, he was chased by several police officers and captured Wu Da on the spot. They also found two bellybands and a gold hairpin from his burden."
"After Wu Da was arrested, I didn't even drink a sip of water, so I came here to report the news."
Did Wu Dalang really do it? impossible?
Li Zhengyi was thinking about it when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Brother Yun looking at him expectantly.
"Why don't you go get a bottle of wine?"
Instructing Pan Jinlian to go to the back kitchen to fill a pot of small wine, and after bringing it, handed it to Brother Yun and asked him to drink slowly aside. Li Zhengyi continued to think about what happened.
Seeing the smiling face of the raw melon egg holding a jug of wine, I thought that there should be no reason for Brother Yun to lie about this matter.
After thinking about it, Li Zhengyi still felt that there must be something fishy about this matter, and it must be too coincidental.
According to Brother Yun, after Wu Da came out of the Lin Mansion, he was caught within two quarters of an hour at most. The efficiency of those officials must be too high.
Although it has been determined that Wu Dalang was framed by others, we still have to wait and ask the parties involved to find out the truth.
And no matter what the cause is, Wu Dalang has been arrested now, so as to avoid any accidents, we have to find a way to fish him out quickly.
After sending Brother Yun away, Li Zhengyi discussed the matter with Pan Jinlian.
"Does Wuhan University really have those problems? Hey, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
"Do you know any neighbors who are reliable and stable?"
"Good man, do you really want to save that Wu Da?"
"What are these words? Don't be nagging. If you know something, just tell me quickly."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be cheating, Pan Jinlian had no choice but to follow him. After thinking for a while, she said, "I heard that Uncle He Jiu, the leader of the local regiment, is meticulous and steady in his work. He is a trustworthy person."
"Oh? Where does he live?"
"It seems that he lives in Lion Street, I don't know the details."
After Pan Jinlian told her, Li Zhengyi asked her to get another ten taels of silver.
"Twelve taels? Do you really want me to go get it?"
Nonsense, I'm running errands for you, do you still want me to pay you for this?
At that moment, Li Zhengyi took the ten taels of silver and inquired all the way to Uncle He Jiu's home. After meeting, the man looked like an old scholar. He was about forty or fifty years old, with a thin face and a goatee.
Uncle He Jiu faced Li Zhengyi, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Li Er, why did you come to my house?"
Li Zhengyi didn't say anything, and slapped the money on the table.
