"Wuda admitted it?!"
Even Pan Jinlian was very surprised when he heard the news from Uncle He Jiu.
Originally, she just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Wu Dalang by crying yesterday, but she didn't expect that he would actually do such a thing.
I just don't let him go to bed. As for stealing that thing?
Thinking of this, Pan Jinlian's eyes showed some joy, and she glanced secretly, fearing that he would think she was nosy, so she kept her mouth shut.
"Wuda really admits that he did it?"
Li Zhengyi couldn't believe it, so he asked again.
Uncle He Jiu sighed and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect it either, but after the jailer asked me clearly twice, Wuhan University admitted it himself."
"I thought he was doing his job at Wuhan University, but I didn't expect that he would actually do that..."
Seeing Uncle He Jiushu's disappointed expression, Li Zhengyi was not the same, but he was still a little unwilling to give up.
"Did Wuhan University be beaten into submission by them?"
"That's not true. It is said that he will not be brought to court until tomorrow. According to the jailer, Wu Da did not suffer much when he was questioned. He was just imprisoned."
"He said he took the thing himself, but he did not admit that it was stolen. When asked why, he couldn't tell clearly. If so, he will be convicted tomorrow."
"It is true that ordinary thieves will make such quibbles, but how can an official be deceived? When the stick is pressed tomorrow, he will definitely tell the truth."
"Now it seems that we can only worry about this matter after Wu Erdu comes back."
Wait until Wu Song comes back?
When he comes back, he may not even know where he is in Wuhan University. By then, he will definitely not believe that his brother will do such a thing.
With his temper, if a fight breaks out, it's very likely that he'll kill a lot of people. Wouldn't he have done so many things in vain?
If the task is not completed, I don’t know what kind of punishment there will be.
No, absolutely not!
Seeing that Uncle He Jiu was already shrinking back a bit, Li Zhengyi decided to find out on his own. There must be something else he didn't know.
So he took out the ten taels of silver from yesterday again and said, "Please ask Uncle He Jiu to help me again. I want to visit Wuhan University to see if there is any room for maneuver."
this……
I didn't want to go back to this flood at first, but it was obvious that people like Li Er still didn't give up on Wuhan University. Uncle He Jiu thought to himself that the world was not black and white.
After pondering for a while, he said: "In that case, you come to find me after sunset. It is better to do things at night. Then I will take you to see the jailer."
"Thank you Uncle He Jiu."
The other party still did not accept the ten taels of silver. He only said that the jailer was an acquaintance of his and did not need it.
Li Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh that besides himself, there were really good people who didn't want anything in return.
Now that the time has been set, after Uncle He Jiu left, Li Zhengyi closed the door tightly and took the time to rest. He had some insomnia last night.
In the afternoon, Pan Jinlian prepared a meal, but it was still more meat than rice. Li Zhengyi couldn't help but drink another bottle of wine.
After having enough wine and food, I figured it was still early before the appointed time, so I lay down and rested for a while.
When the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, Li Zhengyi set off towards Uncle He Jiu's house in Lion Lane. He was holding the beef tendon wooden gun shaft in his hand.
Uncle He Jiu had been waiting for a while, and as soon as he saw him coming, he set out together.
As the weather gets cooler, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets of the county town at night.
Occasionally they met one or two, and the two parties just looked at each other from afar and then left.
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys towards the southwest of Yanggu County. Uncle He Jiushu said that there was a prison located at the base of the city wall, which was a little away from the residential areas.
After a while, the two of them reached the place in the dark and saw several fires standing in an open space in the distance. It's brightly lit here compared to other places.
Walking past the firelight and walking to the door of the prison, there were three people gathering together to warm themselves by the fire and chat and laugh. Their appearance was not very clear. They were all wearing soap clothes and had a knife on their waist.
An older man saw Uncle He Jiu and said, "Here he comes? Is he Li Er, the silver burden man?"
It seems that they have been waiting here for a long time. For some reason, when they said he was Li Er, the three people made a few strange laughs.
"Come with me, but you have to put down your long stick and pick it up when you come out."
Li Zhengyi thought about it and agreed. After all, it would be nice if he could go to this place. Why would he let him bring weapons?
After handing the gun barrel to Uncle He Jiu, he followed the older jailer into the prison.
Li Zhengyi frowned a little when he first entered, but he endured it and did not cover his mouth and nose with his hands.
Even though he had some guesses, the environment inside still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Not only is it dark and humid, the air is not circulated well, and the mixture of various smells is very unpleasant.
Apart from the torch in the jailer's hand, only a faint ray of moonlight could shine through the small iron window on the wall.
Walking in the narrow passage separated by logs, the environment in the cells on both sides was not very clear, but through the dim and flickering light of the fire, a few figures could be vaguely seen squatting on the haystacks in the corner.
"We're here, you go in, I'll come back in half a quarter of an hour."
After opening a cell near the back and letting Li Zhengyi go in by himself, the jailer turned around and went out.
It must be said that some people are just easy to do, visiting the prison privately, and no one is watching.
Li Zhengyi groped his way inside with the moonlight shining in through the small iron window.
"Brother Li, is that you?"
A man stood up on the haystack inside. It was undoubtedly Wu Dalang. He had heard Li Zhengyi's voice just now and did not dare to speak until the jailer left.
It has to be said that for a serious businessman, just being in this prison for one day makes him a little frightened and intolerable.
Now I heard that an acquaintance came to visit me, and my tone of voice became choked for a while.
"Brother Li...well...sit down and talk..."
Don't worry, I won't feel comfortable staying here for any longer.
Ignoring Wu Dalang's messy words, Li Zhengyi said directly: "Wuda, please tell me clearly, are you really the one who got those bellybands and gold hairpins?"
In the darkness, Wu Dalang was silent for a moment before saying, "Oh, I took it."
"Fuck, you really got it. I didn't expect you to be an honest person..."
In anger, Li Zhengyi swore directly, but he thought that he shouldn't be too harsh at this time, lest the guy couldn't bear the blow and exploded on the spot.
He even had to comfort her with gentle words, so he sighed and said, "It's okay. Now that we've done it, let's solve it. You tell me how much the gold hairpin weighs and how much money it's worth, so we can compensate you."
"Maybe Mr. Lin will take the initiative to withdraw the case when he sees that he can get more money. If it doesn't work, he can only try to do some research."
"But don't worry, Li Er will rescue you even if he loses everything."
"woo woo woo woo…"
After hearing Li Zhengyi's words of self-sacrifice and righteousness, Wu Dalang finally couldn't help crying.
