Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 21
With an order, several yamen servants broke into the small stove, and took out the heads, corpses, and the pot of soup that was boiling on the stove.

Seeing that the dead body was really carried out in the Zuixian Tower, the diners were all frightened.Especially the shopkeeper, who lay on the ground directly, beating his chest and feet, crying and screaming, saying that there is no need to do business from now on.

The yamen servants were divided into two groups, one group escorted the material evidence suspects to the government office, and the other group stayed in the Zuixian Tower, waiting for Feng Shen and Lu Bantou to dispatch them.

"According to what Niu Er said, there is still a suspect who hasn't been caught," Feng Shen said, "Let's do this, Mr. Lu Ban, without further delay, I will take Mr. Cha to look for it, you and your brothers will stay here for a while? "

"What Feng Jingji said is wrong," Lu Ban said with a wave of his hands, "This errand of catching and taking thieves is originally our duty, so why should you worry about it? You told me the place, and I Bring a few brothers over there and make sure you can capture him back!"

"Lu Ban doesn't know something," Feng Shen said, shaking his head. "From now on, I can infer that this case is intricate and tightly intertwined. I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary murder case. That clue is the key to solving it. So , To apprehend the suspect, it is easy to be dark but not easy to see. If the news goes away and the thread is cut off, I am afraid that the black hand behind the scenes will never be brought out again!"

"Then Lao Cha, don't go!" Lu Bantou was still not reconciled, "He can't fight a single job, so it's useless to go! I'll follow Feng's experience, even if there is any accident, we can take care of each other! "

"Okay, let Lu Bantou hate it again!" Hearing that he wanted to arrest the murderer, Zha Wuzuo didn't want to take that risk in his heart. Seeing what Lubantou said, he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. Bring people to guard here, and wait for Master Feng and Lu Ban to arrest the suspect, let's go back to the yamen to meet!"

Feng Shen didn't know Lu Bantou very well, and seeing how reckless he was going straight, he was afraid that something might go wrong with him.But Lu Bantou insisted on going, and Feng Shen couldn't say anything, so he could only nod in agreement.

Therefore, Feng Shen gave Zha Wuzuo a few more instructions, and then left Zuixian Tower with Lu Ban.

On the way, Feng Shen basically told Lu Bantou about Niu Er's confession.As soon as Lu Ban heard it, he got excited immediately, and he was gearing up and shouting and killing non-stop.Without even thinking about it, he asserted that Hu Tuhu was the real culprit.

"There are a lot of doubts in this case," Feng Shen said, "Whether the real culprit is the butcher or not is still uncertain. Let's go back to the yamen to interrogate him after he is caught."

After all, Feng Shen didn't care about Lu Ban's head, but just quickened his pace and rushed towards the place where Hu Tuhu was.

Lu Bantou saw that Feng Shen looked weak, but his foot strength was better than his own, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "No wonder this brat is valued by the governor, it seems that he really has two brushes!"

Thinking of this, Lu Ban rushed to catch up and followed Feng Shen.

According to Niu Er, the butcher surnamed Hu lived in a village called "Waziying" on the outskirts of the city.Although the "Wazi Camp" is not too far away, it will take more than half an hour to get there.

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak much, they both buried their heads in their way.After running for a long time, I arrived at Nawazi camp.

Seeing a few old men sitting on the head of the village, Feng Shen and Lu Bantou went over to inquire.When they found out where the Hu family was, the two immediately ran along the direction.

After a while, the door of Hu Tuhu's house was found.Feng Shen pushed lightly on the door, and found that the door was locked from the inside.

Lu Bantou was impatient, and raised his hand to smash the door.Feng Shen took a look and quickly stopped him.

"Boss, don't be in a hurry!" Feng Shen said hastily, "This butcher bolted the door in broad daylight, he might be doing something to avoid people inside. If he is alarmed rashly, he must be on guard."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Ban frowned, "Could it be that the two of us just wait here?"

"Let's take a look." After Feng Shen finished speaking, he walked around the courtyard of Hu's house and carefully looked around.

The butcher's house was at the end of the village, and there were no neighbors around.The outer walls of Hu's house are all made of adobe bricks. Although they are simple, they are not low.Feng Shen and Lu Ban slowly turned their heads to the end of the yard, and heard a few faint hummings of pigs and animals within the wall.Needless to say, inside the wall must be the backyard where the butcher Nahu penned pigs.

"Lu Bantou, this should be the backyard." Feng Shen sized it up for a while before saying, "If you want to come over the wall and enter from here, it won't be too conspicuous."

"The top of this wall is not low." Lu Ban raised his head to look at the earthen wall and said, "Where can we find some footings?"

"Don't bother." Feng Shen waved his hands and smiled, "It's easy to climb over the wall, but it's just that the wronged team leader has to build a 'hand bridge'."

Lu Ban froze for a moment: "Shouqiao?"

Feng Shen nodded, and said: "It's just that the team leader will be a 'stepping foot', so that I can use my strength to climb over the wall."

Although Lu Ban was not very happy, he had no choice but to stand on the base of the wall and squat down, then put his palms together and hung down in front of his body.

Seeing that the "Hand Bridge" has been set up, Feng Shen is not polite.He lifted up his gown and tucked it around his waist, and ran a few steps quickly, stepping on the "hand bridge" with one foot.Seeing Feng Shen approaching, Lu Ban hurriedly exerted strength with his waist and arms, and lifted him up violently.

Borrowing this strength, Feng Shen slammed and firmly grasped the wall with both hands.With a twist of his waist and a swing of his legs, he lightly jumped on the earth wall.

Feng Shen bent his waist and looked into the wall. After confirming that no one was aware of it, he leaned his arm down from the wall again.

Lu Ban put his head on Feng Shen's wrist, kicked his feet, and was also dragged up the wall by Feng Shen.

The two took a deep breath and turned over to the wall.After bypassing the pigsty in the backyard, he tiptoed to the front of the main house.

Feng Shen put his ear on the door, but he could hear the silence in the room.But the door and window were hidden, but someone was clearly inside.He always stayed outside and couldn't see inside, so Feng Shen held his breath and came to the window.I dipped my finger on the tip of my tongue, and lightly poked a hole in the window paper.

Through that eye, Feng Shen saw a man and a woman sleeping on the kang inside.The man should be the butcher, and the woman must be his wife.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Feng Shen and Lu Bantou planned to go in and arrest him.But there is a wall to climb over when entering the courtyard, but it is difficult to enter the house.If you break through the door, you have to spend more energy.It's better to take advantage of the man and woman sleeping soundly, so that they can win in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it, Feng Shen asked Nalu Bantou to borrow his saber, and inserted the tip of the saber along the crack of the door to move the latch.Every time he dialed, Feng Shen held back his energy, for fear of making any noise and startling the couple.

After fiddled with it for a long time, I only heard a soft sound in my ear, and the door latch fell off with a "click".

The two were overjoyed, they hurriedly opened the door and broke in, rushed to the kang with a few steps, and held down the man and the woman.

With a voice of "嗤", the men and women on the kang woke up suddenly, and they were all startled by the situation before them.

Both men and women were completely naked, thinking Feng Shen and the others were villains in a daze, they all huddled under the quilt and cried again and again.

Lu Bantou annoyed them, grabbed the man and asked loudly, "Are you a butcher?"

Seeing the ferocious look of Lu Ban's head, the man was already terrified, and quickly replied with a bitter face: "The small one is... the small one is... I don't know where I bumped into a good man... Please spare me! "

"Stop your fucking nonsense!" Lu Ban said, "Hu, you have committed a crime! Be honest and follow us, so you won't have to suffer!"

"Ah?" Hu Tuhu was taken aback, and then he saw that Lu Ban was wearing a public uniform, "You two... are you an official?"

"You're wise!" Lu Ban snorted, "Stop talking! If you have anything to say, go to the lobby of Shuntian Mansion and talk about it!"

"Oh, my lord!" The butcher shivered for a while, and he didn't care about putting on his clothes. He crawled out of the quilt naked, knelt on the kang and kowtowed his head. "The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty... Please give me a hand... Please forgive the villain this time!"

Hearing what Hu Tuhu said, Feng Shen and Lu Ban were dumbfounded.Neither of them expected that this butcher Hu could recruit so happily.

Before the two of them came back to their senses, the woman also bared her breasts, came out naked, and knelt down beside Butcher Hu: "Please be kind to me...we...we won't dare again!"

"Forgiveness?" Lu Ban snorted coldly, and shouted, "You have committed the felony of murder, do you still want to live?"

"Ah?" Hu Tuhu and the woman were both terrified, "We...we didn't kill you..."

"Do you still dare to play tricks?" Seeing that the two of them contradicted their promises, Lu Ban swung his head and punched.

"Squad leader calm down," Feng Shen hurriedly stopped him when he saw this, "I'll ask you first."

Feng Shen walked slowly to the kang, and asked the two on the kang, "Are you a couple?"

Hu Tuhu and the woman were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and refused to speak.

"Deaf?" Lu Ban yelled and cursed, "I'm asking you something!"

"Yes, yes, yes," the butcher Hu shuddered, and hurriedly pointed to the woman, "She...her surname is Wu...a widow from a neighboring village...and the villain...not a couple..."

"No wonder the doors are closed in broad daylight," Feng Shen sneered, "It turns out that they are hiding at home and enjoying themselves!"

"The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty!" Hu Tuhu turned pale with fright, "I will never dare again..."

"Save your strength, wait until the courtroom!" Lu Ban yelled, "It's not just the scandal of adultery that arrested you!"

"Ah?" The woman became anxious when she heard this, "The officials, the officials... the women are also confused for a while, and they were bewitched by this surname Hu, and they were raped by him... The women don't know anything about other things. ...The official wanted to arrest him, so he only arrested him, and begged for mercy on the women!"
