Chapter 84
Situ Ce was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"
Long Xiang bowed again and whispered: "This time I really depend on you. If Brother Yanagawa doesn't help, I will be the end of this trial tomorrow!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Long Xiang did not answer in time. He waved his hand and a Jinyiwei came over with a brocade box, knelt down on one knee, and raised it over his head.
Situ Ce said: "This is a little bit of my wish last time. Brother Yanagawa forgot to bring it when he left last time, so he specially sent it."
"This..., I'll talk about it, and I'll talk about it when the case is solved."
"At that time, Mr. Long would like to thank him. Please accept this, Brother Liuchuan." As he said that, he took the brocade box from the Jinyiwei and handed it to Situ Ce. Seeing that Situ Ce did not accept it, he stuffed it to Linglong, the maid behind: "You can help Master Situ collect it first."
"Ah?" Linglong took it, not sure how heavy it was. She was already small, and the hundred taels of silver were quite heavy. She almost fell to the ground. She hugged her hard and said to Situ Ce: "Sir, look, this..."
Seeing that there were people passing by from time to time, it was really not a place to talk, and he was too lazy to bother about this matter, Situ Ce said, "You can help me get it back first."
"Yes!" The maid Linglong agreed crisply, and she carried the box of silver with difficulty and turned into the back door of the yamen.
Long Xiang then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Liuchuan, let's go back to the Jinyiwei Yamen to talk about it?"
Situ Ce nodded and agreed. At that moment, the Jinyiwei brought the horse over. The two of them turned over and returned to the Jinyiwei's yamen with the Jinyiwei.
When he came straight to the wing room, Situ Ce stepped in, but saw a soft couch in the middle, a fat man tilted, with a haggard body. It was Zhong Bingzhi, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, Zhenhai County.
When Zhong Bingzhi saw him come in, he smiled hard and forced himself to get up. Unexpectedly, he touched the wound and grinned in pain.
Situ Ce was a little embarrassed. After all, Zhong Bingzhi's attack was caused by the case he solved. Although Zhong Bingzhi was self-defeating, he was a little uncomfortable.
Zhong Bingzhi laughed first and said, "Brother Liuchuan, I'm sorry, I..., my injury has not healed yet, I can't get up, and I can't greet you."
"You don't have to be polite Zhong Baihu!" Situ Ce smiled reluctantly and sat down on the chair next to him. Long Xiang sat on the other side, and the Jinyi Guard pulled the door up.
Zhong Bingzhi leaned against the soft couch and said, "Brother Liuchuan, I have been regretting these days. I regretted the last case. I was also obsessed with it. I was deceived by them and wrapped me in. This is why I got retribution. Alas! I really regret it!"
When Situ Ce heard what he said, he obviously confessed to him that he did not hold any grudges. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him to make him relieved. He smiled and said nothing.
Zhong Bingzhi said: "I thought my brother-in-law was jealous of that matter and refused to help us, so I had no shame to come to see my brother-in-law. Yesterday, I heard Brother Long say that Brother-in-law helped us find a very important clue. Only then did I realize that Brother-in-law is a broad-minded person, so I would not have such dirty thoughts as me. I felt even more ashamed. So, I said that even if my legs were broken, I would crawl to thank Brother Liuchuan!"
After saying that, he struggled to get up and bowed. Long Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to support him and barely bowed.
Situ Ce hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "Young House is so polite."
Zhong Bingzhi hurriedly said, "If Brother Liuchuan looks down on me, how old is, I'll call Brother Zhong. I wonder if I have such a blessing?"
Situ Ce was surprised to see that he was a 100 households in Zhenhai County, a sixth-rank official, and was so humble. Of course, as the saying goes, "Essence is something that people have to ask for. They are so polite, so they are naturally based on their own ability to detect. They didn't want to bother them too much, so they said, "Brother Zhong, are you polite." Then he guided the topic to the main thing: "Two, how is the case going now?"
Zhong Bing looked ashamed and looked at Long Xiang.
Long Xiang said: "Last night, Brother Yanagawa gave me a face-to-face message. We visited that road overnight, focusing on finding the three men who were taking the bus, but I was ashamed that I still found nothing until dawn."
Zhong Bingzhi also slapped the soft couch and said angrily: "Yes, his grandma's, the old killer who sells snails must have known it, but he refused to say that he was a bit unbeatable and was so anxious..."
Situ Ce was shocked and stood up: "What did you say? Have you tortured the old farmer who sold snails?"
Seeing Situ Ce's eyes wide open, his eyebrows were full of anger. He found that he had misered his mouth, and he screamed in pain, and he rushed to lie, saying, "No! No! We just asked him, for fear that he would forget something in a hurry. Haha, how could we torture him? He had done us a favor."
Long Xiang also hurriedly said, "Yes, Brother Liuchuan, they are so good that they have never suffered at all. The 100-householder also said that when the case is solved, they will reward you according to your merits and do good things. At that time, the old farmer's family will have to have some benefits. Haha."
Situ Ce had a dark face and said slowly: "I want to see them, right away!"
"This..." Zhong Bingzhi obviously didn't expect that there would be any troubles, and said embarrassedly: "But they, they have already gone back..."
"Send someone to invite them immediately! No! I'll visit them in person, where do they live? - Don't mess with me, otherwise I will never care about this case!" He was worried that the Jinyiwei would kill people to silence them, and then lied that they didn't know where they went. Instead, he harmed the others. So he decided to go to see the old farmer's family in person.
Zhong Bingzhi was anxious and looked at Long Xiang.
Long Xiang hurriedly said, "Brother Liuchuan is a little calm. It's like this. They did go back to the village and left early this morning. The village is almost sixty or seventy miles away from us..."
"Even if it's seven hundred miles, I'll see them immediately today. It's best that you two can accompany me! To put it bluntly, I'm worried you're going to do it!" Situ Ce felt the seriousness of the situation and was determined not to give them any chance to pass the silence order.
Zhong Bingzhi smiled bitterly: "Brother Liuchuan, we really didn't touch them a single hair. If you don't believe it, Brother Yu will go to see them with Brother Yu to prove your innocence! However, the situation is urgent now. If Brother Yu doesn't help, the black hat on Brother Yu and Brother Long will fall to the ground soon!"
Long Xiang also hurriedly said: "Yes, Yang Jun Qianhu has ordered the case to be solved within a time limit. If the case is not solved within two days, I will remove my position. If the case is not solved within four days, I will remove the position of the 100 households and find other talents to solve the case!"
Situ Ce frowned: "Didn't Lord Tongzhi have a ten-day deadline? Including today, there are still seven days!"
Zhong Bingzhi smiled bitterly: "That's right, but that's the deadline for Lord Yang from the thousand households. Lord Yang gave us the deadline, and he deducted it again. He said that he couldn't rely on us all, so he only gave us these few days. When the sun came out the morning after tomorrow, if the case was not solved, he would remove Brother Long's position. In another four days, he would remove my position!"
Situ Ce sneered and said, "You want me to help, yes, but you have to play according to my rules, otherwise I will let go!"
"That's certain!" Zhong Bingzhi said repeatedly, "What instructions does Yanagawa have? Just give me the orders and follow them!"
Situ Ce said: "The first thing is to see the old farmer's family immediately! I must be fine so that I will continue to solve the case for you!"
"This is absolutely fine! However, solving a case is like putting out a fire. Can you first..."
"No talk! Let me see them immediately! Otherwise, I will infer that something has happened to them, so we will go back to the bridge and road, and we will go our own way!"
