The driver was a middle-aged man, dark and thin, about forty. The coat all over was also scratched, exposing the dry cotton grass inside. There was no fire in the duty room and it was very cold, but he was sweating on his forehead while standing, and his hands and feet were trembling. He didn't know whether it was hot or cold.
Su Tongyou sat on the big chair and stared at him for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "What is your name and where are you from?"
The man said hurriedly: "The villain Sui Siliang."
After a while, he seemed to remember the next question, and said tremblingly: "Just...he is from Zhangcheng."
"What are you doing in Zhangcheng?"
"The villain works for the Ma family... He is my boss, he is Ma Youpei... he is the official of Shuxue..."
Su Tongyou nodded and said: "Why do long-term workers go to the mountains?"
Sui Siliang's knees weakened and he wanted to kneel down. Su Tongyou said: "It's not like you are standing and talking."
Only then did Sui Siliang stand firm, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Little man... little man... I used to be a hunter. I knew that the mountain was closed, so I didn't dare to go hunting in the mountain. I heard that last night A lot of wild animals were killed by thunder in the mountains... I want to pick some up..."
Su Tongyou nodded: "How did you recognize Mr. Sui?"
"I didn't recognize it at first... On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I was selling some wild game on Nanmen Street... Mr. Sui took two deer whips from my place..."
Su Tongyou looked at the assistant officer sitting at the door and said, "Go and check whether what he said is true or false."
The assistant officer was a young man. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Mr. Su, it's true. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a few of us accompanied the young master. I still remember this person - the young master asked him to record it in the account. At the end of the month, he even came to the back door to ask for money, which was also done by me.”
He thought again: "There is also a person like Ma Youpei. He works in Shuxue. I remember he is the section chief of Goulian Class."
Su Tongyou nodded, pointed to the long bench by the wall and said to Sui Siliang: "Sit down and talk."
Sui Siliang walked over and sat down with his back hunched over. Su Tongyou said: "Sui Siliang, you have done a good job in rescuing the young master. I will reward you heavily later. But now think about the scene at that time and tell me in detail. Say. If you do well, there will be a reward."
Seemingly seeing that the official Su Tongyou was not as majestic and terrifying as the legend said, and that he did not want to punish himself, Sui Siliang relaxed a lot. After sitting on the bench for a while, he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let me think again... I was so scared just now that I almost lost my soul..."
"The villain is looking for the young master on the other side of Wushan——"
Su Tongyou frowned: "What mountain?"
"There is no mountain - there is no mountain, it's just a mountain name."
"Oh. You tell me."
"Normally we don't go there because we can't turn around once we get there. We can see the mountain there in the distance, but if we can't walk there, it means there is no mountain. I entered the mountain today and wanted to pick up charcoal. There were so many people there, I must have picked up any game, so I walked deeper - as I was walking, I heard a thumping sound, which shocked me!"
"I thought maybe the silly roe deer fell down...so I walked over to take a look, and I saw Mr. Sui."
Su Tongyou sighed: "Is he the one who fell down?"
"That's not the case. I walked over and took a look and realized that what fell was a stone. At that time, Mr. Sui was still hanging on the tree, quite high, three or four feet above the ground. But he was still awake. He was making gestures when he looked at me. I saw It took me a while to realize that he was telling me to be quiet."
Su Tongyou raised his hand, took a pen and wrote down a few words on the paper, and then said: "Continue talking."
"Then he fell... By chance, there was a puddle under the tree, and there was snow on the puddle. He fell on the snow first, then the ice cushioned it, and then he fell into the water. Otherwise, I think, this The person was gone. I quickly went to get him, carried him on the roadside, found a car... and sent him back."
"If I ask you to go back now, can you still find a place to meet him?"
Sui Siliang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Maybe... it's OK."
Su Tongyou immediately said to the assistant officer: "Take him to collect a piece of cash and change his clothes. Then bring four teams of people to change into civilian clothes... After finding the place, come back and report the news."
The assistant officer's face became stern and he said, "What if I meet someone?"
Su Tongyou thought for a while: "I shouldn't see you. Let's go first."
The assistant officer ordered Sui Siliang, who had expressed his gratitude, to leave. Su Tongyou sat in the duty room for a while and then walked out.
When we got to the inner room and outside the courtyard, we found it was even more chaotic. Servants came in and out, bringing hot water, clothes and bedding back and forth, and some led the medical officer inside. There was a sound of crying in the room, and no one knew who was crying. Sui Yilian, on the other hand, stood in the corridor with a pale face, only wiping his face with his hands.
Su Tongyou strode over. Sui Yilian saw him and was about to open his mouth when Su Tongyou said, "Master Fu, I went to interrogate that coachman."
Sui Yilian was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes... we want to interrogate him! What did the trial reveal!?"
"The man found the young master at the foot of the mountain. I have asked people to search the mountain. But I estimate that Li Boxen is no longer there. Mr. Fu, go to the house and talk. If you catch a cold at this time, the house can There is no backbone anymore - how is Zi Ang?"
Sui Yilian wiped his face again: "I'm not awake. My hands and feet are all..."
Unable to continue speaking at this point, Su Tongyou hurriedly supported him, rubbed his back, and helped him into the side hall to sit down.
When Sui Yilian sat firmly, Su Tongyou said: "Zi Ang should have escaped from Li Bochen on his own. When the man saw him, he hung on a tree and fell into a pool, saving his life. . I guess the young master used the prayer technique to change his luck."
He paused and then said: "Those words he just said, Mr. Yifu, do you think he meant to kill Li Bochen, Tao Chunxi, and Ye Yinghong?"
Sui Yilian grabbed his head with his hands and waved his fingers. Su Tongyou then said: "If you look at it this way, Li Bochen really doesn't want money, but people. If the young master wants to vent his anger, it is understandable that he asks us to take the lives of the Tao family, but why bother talking about Ye? At that time, he would rather Mentioning this person again shows that I hate him very much - the Tao family and Ye Yinghong should be very important to Li Boxen."
"If you think about it carefully, it would make sense if Li Bochen liked the girl from the Tao family and valued her. But Ye Yinghong - I have sent someone to check - the two of them had no relationship before, they just met in Wujing Mountain. But he also values Ye Yinghong. ...Your Majesty, I think... maybe part of what he said in his book is true. These are indeed Duke Chebei's people. Otherwise, he would have no reason to fish them away."
After a while, Sui Yilian shouted in a hoarse voice: "So?"
"So...if this is true, your Majesty has to make up his mind." Su Tongyou sighed, "Zi Ang has come back. Although...Although...Oh, Mr. Chebei, you know , Today's thoughts are unfathomable. If one day Mr. Chebei..."
Sui Yilian put down his hand and said, "You said, we still have to hand the person over to Li Bochen?"
But before Su Tongyou could reply, Sui Yilian slapped the table and shouted: "Sui Wujiu's surname is Sui, isn't my surname Sui? Kill! Kill in a fair and just manner!!"
