Chapter 86

If Long Xiang said this, Situ Ce might have some doubts, but since it was said by Zhong Bingzhi, Zhong Bingzhi was quite upright. Situ Ce believed this. However, he still had to make sure and ask the young man: "Have they defiled your wife? If there is, don't be afraid. As for the words, the two adults have already said it and will definitely make the decision for you."

The young man said in a weak voice: "No, I just hit it, I hit it with a whip, it was very harmful. My wife..., fainted several times..."

Situ Ce looked at his expression, and it didn't seem to be concealed. If his wife had been defiled by the Jinyiwei on the spot, or had the possibility of being dragged to another room for defilement, his expression would definitely change. However, Situ Ce did not see this change, nor did he see it on the two elders. He asked the young wife again. The young wife was sobbing and blushing and shook her head. Only then did he believe it.

Long Xiang hurriedly said to the Jinyiwei who executed the execution: "Everyone is a beast! You guys beat their young wife like this, don't you have any wives and children? What are you still standing stupidly? What should you do? You know what to do!"

The group of Jinyiwei who were executing the execution looked at each other. One of them had a relatively flexible mind. He quickly knelt down and slapped himself hard in the face, cursing while slapping: "Beat you, a beast with no brains!" The rest of the people also knelt down and slapped themselves in the face. For a moment, the slaps in the interrogation room were slammed, and their faces quickly became swollen, and their mouths and noses were bleeding.

The old farmer waved his hands in a hurry: "No, no, no, all officials, this is killing the old man's family..."

Situ Ce then said to Long Xiang: "Forget it! Let them all get up!"

Long Xiang waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei stopped, and his faces were swollen and stood aside like pig's head.

Situ Ce turned around and said to Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang, "Things have come to this point, let's do it for now. How can they settle down? It's better to ask the two masters to make decisions in person. The ugly words are ahead. If they have any problems, no matter who the idea is, I will only take it as the idea of ​​both of you. From now on, I will never care about your Jinyiwei's affairs!"

Zhong Bingzhi quickly said, "Don't worry about this Yanagawa brother. This time, Brother Yu personally arranged to recuperate for them first. Then, find a shop for them to do some small business in the city, and we paid for the cost. In the future, we will follow our Jinyiwei, and the business will be safe and prosperous. This is also our apology."

Situ Ce could not have imagined that he would make such a good arrangement, so he bowed and said, "Then I will thank them!"

After hearing this, the old farmer's family was really happy. The wounds on their bodies seemed to healed a lot immediately, and their spirits came. They struggled to kneel down and kowtow to Zhong Bingzhi, completely forgetting how they were ravaged and tortured by the Jinyiwei before.

Situ Ce sighed in his heart. At this time, the doctor had arrived. After checking the four people, he was sure that it was a flesh-and-skin wound and was not in danger of life. Situ Ce was relieved and told them to recover from the wounds in the yamen. When the new store opened, he would go to congratulate him in person. This moved the old farmer so much that he burst into tears. He held him with his scarred hands, but couldn't even say a word.

Situ Ce and the others were about to leave, but the young wife suddenly said to Situ Ce: "Master, I remember one more thing..."

Situ Ce hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well..., the person who exchanged money with us seems to be a monk!"

"Monk? Is he bald?"

"No, before he eats, he should chant the scriptures softly. Maybe he is a monk."

"Oh, thank you!"

The young wife's face was covered in scars and lowered shyly.

Situ Ce and Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang returned to the living room. Zhong Bingzhi wanted to explain something else. Situ Ce waved his hand and told him not to talk about this anymore. Only then did Zhong Bingzhi stop speaking embarrassedly.

Long Xiang hurriedly asked, "What should we do next? Do you check that monk?"

"What monk?" Situ Ce asked.

"What the woman said just now is that the person who exchanged money for him seems to be a monk."

"She only said that the man had to recite scriptures before eating, and many lay Buddhists would do this, right? Besides, if it were a monk, why didn't he shave his head?"

"That's right, then visit all the lay Buddhists?"

Situ Ce sneered: "You have plenty of time?"

"No, the black hat will fall off immediately. Where can I still have time?"

"Then what are you doing without any ignorance?"

Long Xiang said embarrassedly: "We are so ill now that we are in a hurry to seek medical treatment."

"The tighter the time, the more you can't be confused. The more you have to plan and then move, because you can't afford to make mistakes."

"Yes! Then what should we do?"

"Search all the homes along the way! Especially those who rent houses and abandoned houses!"

Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang were both stunned and looked at Situ Ce: "Why?"

"Check it out!" Situ Ce said, "You have investigated all the shops selling porcelain in Zhenhai County and neighboring prefectures and counties, but they have not found this batch of goods, right?"

"Yes!" Long Xiang said, "All porcelain shops, including pottery, jewelry shops, etc. We have checked everything that touched the edges, and left eyeliners to stare at them. There has been no news until now."

"If you are the murderers and robbery, will you immediately take the stolen goods to sell them?"

"Yes!" Long Xiang slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I expect it!"

Zhong Bingzhi also said: "That's right! The thief must have hidden the stolen goods. This car of blue and white porcelain is not easy to find a place to hide in the wilderness, so the best place is to rent a house and hide the goods. Hurry up and search all rental or idle houses along the way!"

"Okay! I'll do it now! - Brother Yanagawa, are there any other clues? I'll check it together."

Situ Ce thought of the monk that the young wife had just mentioned and the man named Weizhong on the silver ingot. He originally wanted to provide them with two more clues to investigate, but after experiencing the old farmer's family, Situ Ce realized that Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang had indeed been hurt by their family, and they were all-out of their methods. As long as they could achieve their goal, even their brothers, would they have killed them with a palm without hesitation. The clues on the seal on the silver ingot were obtained from the old farmer's family. If he told them without restraint, would they think that the old farmer must have something to reserve, and secretly torture the old farmer's family and confess, wouldn't that have harmed others?

Therefore, Situ Ce felt that no clues related to the old farmer's family could be told to them, and it would be safe to wait and see if it changes. So Situ Ce just smiled and shook his head.

Long Xiang left, Zhong Bingzhi said a lot of gratitude again. Situ Ce was unintentional to stay here and went to visit the old farmer's family. He saw that he was indeed wounded and placed in the Jinyiwei accommodation building. He also learned that Long Xiang had arranged someone to help the old farmer's family find a storefront to help them open a store to do business, so he was relieved.

Situ Ce returned to the yamen and saw that He Lanbing was not in the study, so he called Linglong to ask. He learned that He Lanbing went out in the morning and had not come back yet. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, which made her so angry. After lunch, he still didn't see He Lanbing come back. Situ Ce sat in the study, bored and thought about the case of the Jinyiwei.

Now, he still has two clues in his hand, one is to check the man named "Weizhong", and the other is to check the monk.

The suspect who chanted the scriptures before eating was said by the young wife of the farmer. She was wearing hair, so she was unlikely to be a monk, but should be a lay Buddhist who believed in Buddhism. This is not easy to check. There are too many lay Buddhists at home, but not many lay Buddhists exchanged for change!
