Chapter Fourteen
According to Liu Zizai's statistics, the murderer killed five people and the silver he received should be more than a thousand taels.
This is considered that two of the victims were intercepted and killed halfway through, so they should not have much money on them.
But no matter what, thousands of taels of silver are enough to make people feel moved and even crazy.
"How could he carry the stolen money with him?"
Xu Rong said indifferently: "I was just asking him about the whereabouts of the stolen money, but unfortunately he never said that, but he was too seriously injured and died directly."
The relationship between him and Liu Zizai is only good because of his common enemy Zhao Long.
But in fact, the two had no intersection before.
This is also normal. Xu Rong used to be a prison guard and had no relatives with Liu Zizai, who was a little older than him, so he would definitely not talk to each other.
Liu Zizai felt a little unbelievable, but even if he didn't, what could he do?
Can you force Xu Rong to say it?
Not to mention whether he is Xu Rong's opponent, attacking his colleagues without any evidence is not a minor crime.
"Since that's the case, I can only check this person's residence tomorrow to see if I can get anything."
Liu Zizai was a little helpless.
Fortunately, there is no clue at all. As long as you know his appearance, it should not be difficult to find his place of residence.
Such foreign thieves should also hide the stolen money in their residence.
Xu Rong nodded, and then said with regret: "I can only do this. It's a pity. If you can get such a large sum of money, your life will be much easier in the future."
Liu Zizai was observing Xu Rong's expression. Seeing that his expression was not as fake, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
'Is this kid just said true? It's not impossible. Such young people are generally more direct and not much scheming.'
But when Liu Zizai thought of the experience of Xu Yuan's family, hesitated again.
If it was just a single thing, he didn't have much doubt.
But the two things combined made him a little suspicious that Xu Rong was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Xu Rong took the initiative to propose at this time: "Brother Liu, let's stay here tonight for the night, right?"
Liu Zizai was stunned and agreed: "Okay, it's getting late anyway, so when you go back, it's also disturbing your family's sleep."
He understood that Xu Rong's words were intended to prove his innocence.
If he obtained the place where the stolen money was hidden from the murderer, he would definitely think about taking it away.
But now that the two are together, he can supervise Xu Rong. When he finds the murderer's residence tomorrow, even if Xu Rong really interrogates something, it will be useless.
Unless the stolen money is not hidden in the murderer's residence.
They packed up a place in the house casually, and the two of them started to rest.
But Xu Rong really relaxed and started to rest, while Liu Zizai was worried that Xu Rong would slip away to get the stolen money, so she didn't dare to fall asleep.
In this way, a night passed.
Xu Rong was full of energy. He looked at the listless Liu Zizai and understood what was going on.
"Brother Liu, let's go and figure out where this guy lives."
Soon, Liu Zizai learned about the murderer's residence from Yaxing.
After searching, the silver was indeed found, but there were only 500 taels in total.
Liu Zizai frowned with the silver notes: "Is this guy so unlucky? Why is it only 500 taels of silver?"
"Maybe it was spent. After all, he was in a hurry to commit crimes during this period, otherwise he would not have to take such a big risk and commit crimes again and again."
Xu Rong's speculation made Liu Zizai quite agree.
"It's a pity that if I had caught him earlier, I might have gained more."
Liu Zizai gritted his teeth and handed Xu Rong 250 taels of silver.
"No matter what, we each have half of the money. As for the subsequent statement, it is that we have not found anything, maybe it was hidden in other places."
Xu Rong accepted the silver notes and nodded seriously: "Okay, I remember."
From now on, the two of them have been too dirty together and their relationship is closer than before.
Of course, this is what Liu Zizai thinks.
"Now we will bring the murderer's body to the yamen, and the matter will be settled."
Liu Zizai yawned. He was under a lot of pressure these days and hadn't had much rest.
I didn't sleep another night last night and felt even more sleepy, but he had just obtained a considerable amount of silver, which made him quite excited.
The two sent the murderer's body to the yamen, and after the case was closed, they went home.
Liu Zizai was busy going back to sleep, while Xu Rong also went home to regain his energy.
"I'm back, how about it?"
The old man was basking in the sun in the yard.
Xu Rong had a smile on his clear contoured face: "It went smoothly, and he made a small fortune."
The old man lowered his voice and scolded: "Don't show off his wealth, don't yell at such things in the future."
"clear."
Xu Rong suddenly remembered that there was another thing.
"Master, I'm going to Xu Yuan's house and I almost forgot about this."
"Go, I always have to go there."
The old man waved his hand, then closed his eyes again, and lay leisurely on the recliner.
After knowing that his grandson is becoming more and more capable, he also becomes more and more relaxed.
Xu Rong did not change his clothes, and wore a black robe that belonged to the constable, so he came to Xu Yuan's house.
This was his second time here. Unlike last time, this place was already covered in plain white, with faint crying coming from it.
"It was done quite grandly. I don't know who was in charge of the matter here."
When he entered, Xu Rong's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Xu Rong glanced at him and found that the person in charge was an old clan elder of the Xu clan.
‘When Uncle San went there, you were not seen. This time it was good, but it was quite timely.’
With a heart whispering in his heart, Xu Rong stepped forward and lit a stick of incense, then stood aside without talking to others.
Many people cursed in their hearts, and another one came to divide the things.
When the family was buried, it was the most concerned part of everyone.
The clan elder took the house deed and other things, and then said, "In order to handle the funeral, Xu Lei was busy, and all the expenses were paid by him. He spent a total of more than 200 taels of silver, and a zero amount was fine, even 200 taels."
"As for these things after they are sold, after deducting the remaining 200 yuan, we will share them together."
Xu Rong rolled his eyes and spent 50 taels of silver to hold a funeral for Uncle San last time.
Now there are two more coffins, which are more than two hundred taels, and even ghosts don’t believe it.
As for why this clan elder is so kind, because Xu Lei is his son.
