Chapter 7 7: Hiding
It was late at night, the moonlight was cold, and there was silence everywhere.
Chen Jin walked quickly through the streets and alleys, and finally found a small house in a remote location with great purpose.
This is the home of the old writer who was sealed off.
To call it a seizure means that a symbolic seal was put on it, and everything inside was turned upside down. Everything of value was removed, leaving a mess.
Chen Jin didn't care about that, he came here just to find a suitable hiding place.
At this time, the city gates were closed and guarded by soldiers. It was not easy to leave the city. It was better to stay in the city and spend the night.
The room was dark, but there was moonlight shining through the leaky roof, bringing some light.
Chen Jin quickly adapted and looked at his surroundings.
This house looks dilapidated, but that's because the owner was arrested and imprisoned, but it's actually pretty good.
There is a small yard in front and a well.
According to the old writer, he wandered around the world for half his life, worked hard to save money for most of his life, and lived frugally, so that he could afford this house. I originally thought that when I grow old, I would return to my hometown and return to my roots. If I had the chance, I might be able to marry a widow or something and have a warm bed, and then I would be satisfied for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and everything came to nothing.
Chen Jin first went to the well to get water and began to wash himself from head to toe.
As for the clothes on my body, I took off all my clothes, dug a hole in the corner and buried them.
The old writer still had some old clothes in his room, so he just changed into them. Although they didn't quite fit him, they were enough to wear.
At this time, there is nothing to be particular about.
After dealing with many trivial matters, I felt refreshed and chose a place in the house to sit down cross-legged. Above the head here, the tiles broke open, forming a hole as big as a bowl.
A shot of moonlight penetrated right through.
Chen Jin raised his head slightly, facing the moonlight, and began to swallow...
……
Na Ma Captou's single name is "Ben". He has learned a good sword technique passed down from his family and is famous in Genshui County. He is known as "Shen Ma Kuai Dao".
At the beginning of this year, the green forest bandit who committed a major crime and killed dozens of people fled Jiang Shangfei and fled into Genshui County, where he was killed by Ma Bi with a single knife.
Ma Bi was not only good at swordsmanship, he was also good at arresting and searching. As soon as the case happened last night, he sent two teams of capable police officers to hunt for it in the city.
Unfortunately, no whereabouts of the murderer were found.
Various signs show that the murderer is a very powerful master.
The question is, how could such a person be put on death row and almost become a scapegoat?
Could it be that he was plotted and the boat capsized in the gutter?
In the world of martial arts, this kind of thing is nothing new.
As the saying goes: No matter how good the master is, he is still afraid of the kitchen knife. Even some famous people may fall down if they are not guarded against underhanded tricks, such as lime powder, sweat medicine, and poisonous arrows.
After thinking about it, this explanation is the most consistent with the development of the case.
So, does the person who does the trick know that the other person is a master?
He probably didn't know, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have done this and laid the foundation for disaster.
Of course, the truth can only be known by finding the person who did it and asking him face to face. At dawn the next day, Ma Bi immediately led his people to a house in the north of the city. However, when he entered, he found that there was no one inside.
"These guys run so fast."
Ma Baotou didn't look very good.
Everyone knew that there was a big problem in the prison, but the water was so deep and involved so much that even Magistrate Song was unable to investigate further. He could only send Ma Bi to investigate and arrest the murderer.
But I don’t even know who the murderer is, and I don’t know the origin of the foot. How can I find out?
In the end, the case could not be solved, the murderer could not be caught, and he was the one who suffered the consequences.
……
"Liu Laosan, did you shoot the wrong person in the alley that day?"
In the mansion, Jia Gong, the prison historian, asked with a livid face.
A lean man stood with his hands lowered and quickly replied: "How could it be possible that the photo was wrong? He was that poor scholar Chen Zexiang. He looked so weak and shrinking that he fell down with a stick. I saw that he was weak, so I was afraid of attacking him. If it is too heavy, it will kill you, so be very careful and have the right balance.”
Jia Gong asked: "Are you sure?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The man Liu Laosan called out to Tianqu: "Sir, how dare you do something careless about what you told me? I have been keeping people in Chen Zexiang watching me. I followed the poor scholar out of the village, into the city gate, and waited until he was in the alley. Just do it.”
Jia Gong frowned: "This is strange. What went wrong?"
Liu Laosan asked: "Sir, you came to us in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Jia Gong sighed: "A big thing happened in the prison last night. Someone came out from the death row and killed Gu Laoer, the Wu brothers, etc. All signs indicate that the murderer was the poor scholar."
< br>
"What?"
Liu Laosan's eyes widened when he heard this, with disbelief on his face: "How is this possible?"
Jia Gong said with a straight face: "The facts are before our eyes. Last night, the Song County Magistrate came to court and accused me. I almost couldn't escape, so I had to blame everything on Gu Laoer and the others."
Liu Lao San still looked confused: "This, this matter, could it be a mistake? I did it myself. When I sent it in, Gu Lao Er also checked it and confirmed that it was correct. Then he was put in the cell to be raised. .
Jia Gong touched his beard: "You have always done things safely. Besides, this is not the first time. It stands to reason that such a big problem will not happen. I am also very confused in my heart."
Liu Laosan asked: "Is it possible that someone came to rob the prison and make a conspiracy? I don't believe it if you beat him to death anyway. That poor scholar is so capable, he wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken."
Jia Gong's eyes flashed: "There are indeed many doubts about this matter. County Magistrate Song has ordered Ma Bi to investigate the case."
Hearing the word "Ma Bi", Liu Laosan immediately asked nervously: "This man named Ma is selfless and ruthless. Will he be found on us?"
Jia Gong sneered: "What are you afraid of? The personnel matters we handle involve the big shots above. Magistrate Song can't investigate, and he doesn't dare to investigate. Now that Gu Laoer and the others are dead, they happen to die without any evidence."
< br>
Liu Laosan nodded repeatedly: "That's that."
As for what big names were involved, he didn't dare to ask.
In the whole incident, he and his brothers were only responsible for photographing people and sending them to prison. How to do the rest is unknown.
Minions like them know too much and die quickly.
Jia Gong said solemnly: "This matter has been settled. I don't know how to deal with it. The current situation is tense, so don't stay in the city. Go out and hide first. I happened to go to Chen Zexiang to keep an eye on the poor scholar. Have you ever gone back? If you do see someone, don’t alert them, come back and report them immediately.”
"Yes!"
