Chapter 5 The Method of Compromise
Huang Donglai and the others did not fully understand Zhu Jiaduan's words.
Because the three of them didn't know that Zheng Mukai was dead at this moment.
Although Zheng Mukai's body was found in the alley behind this inn, it was midnight at that time, and it was impossible for the person who came to handle the case to stand in the alley and shouted "It's dead here" to tell the world.
Furthermore, the officials did not intend to investigate this matter in depth from the beginning. If they wanted to investigate, they would have already gone to the inn to knock on the door of each guest to ask for details.
Now ordinary people in the city who knew that Zheng Mukai and two Guangxing Escort Agency were killed, but they were all concentrated in the west of the city because the two bodies were found in the inn's guest room, and Zheng Mukai and the other two were staying in the inn, so at least the shopkeepers and waiters over there would be asked.
"Senior Zhu." Huang Donglai was afraid that Lei Buji would suffer a loss when he spoke, so he quickly responded before Buji spoke, "Why don't we understand what you said?"
"Don't understand?" Zhu Jiaduan almost squeezed out these three words from his teeth, "Hmph... OK, if you want to pretend to be garlic, I will make it clear for you." He paused for a moment and said again, "I'll ask you, my disciple... Zheng Mukai, the red-dead leader of my Guangxing Escort Agency, and our two troopers, were you killed?"
"Ah?" The three people on the table gave the same reaction almost the same second when they heard this.
After a breath, Huang Donglai spoke first and asked suspiciously: "Brother Zheng... is he dead?"
When Zhu Jiaduan saw that the three of them had this reaction, he was slightly stunned, but then he thought: I'm afraid these three people had guessed that I would come a long time ago, so they were acting for me after they had already made up the words.
Thinking of this, he became angry again and shouted: "Bah! What Brother Zheng? Who is your brother? Do you think I don't know? The day before yesterday, you three were openly dismissing my disciple in a restaurant in the city, but he broke it on the spot and could only admit his mistake and punish him. I think... you just hold a grudge and killed him that night!"
As soon as he said this, the three of them finally understood what was going on.
"Mao!" Sun Yixiu couldn't help it now. It depends on the situation when it was time to use his true colors. "If you don't tell us, we don't know that the Zheng surname is dead, mom... don't swear at me! You said we killed me, do you have any evidence?"
After all, he really didn't kill, so he was quite tough in his attitude.
When Zhu Jiaduan heard this, he thought to himself: "Okay, this kid is so angry that I have exposed it."
So he threw the logical chain and reasoning he had sorted out based on the existing information on the faces of Sun Huang and Lei Buji in one breath. After saying that, he added with confidence: "How about it? What else do you have to say?"
If he doesn't ask that, it's fine.
Since he asked this, the following sentence must be the following...
"Are you a fucking mentally retarded?" Huang Donglai was almost annoyed by Zhu Jiaduan. He stopped talking politely and said directly, "Don't you think there are many doubts and loopholes in your inference?"
"What?" Zhu Jiaduan couldn't understand what "intellectual retarded" means, so he didn't react for a moment and asked, "Loophole? Where is the loophole? Tell me about it."
Huang Donglai laughed dryly: "Ha... First of all, as the young master of the Huang Sect, if I really want to kill Zheng Mukai, is it necessary to fight him? Isn't it enough to poison him?" He paused, "It's not me that I want to poison him well, unless you can invite my father, no one can tell that he was poisoned to death."
Just the first sentence stopped Zhu Jiaduan.
But before he could respond, Huang Donglai continued: "Secondly, the body was discovered at the end of the Hai Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi
Zhu Jiaduan did not expect to be so detailed, so he asked now: "Then I ask you, what were you doing at that time?"
"bath."
"shit."
"sleep."
The above are the answers of Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.
They were telling the truth. That day, they had just arrived in Xuzhou City and were rarely able to live in a large inn in the city instead of a roadside inn. Sun Yixie wanted to take a good bath. Huang Donglai, after eating too much crab during the day, everyone understood that everyone was not good at stomach. Lei Buji had drunk it at all after dinner and had not woken up at all. When he returned to the inn, he was carried back by Sun and Huang.
"Hmph!" After hearing their answers, Zhu Jiaduan snorted coldly again, "Doesn't that mean no one can testify for you?"
"Don't worry about us for now." Huang Donglai said, "Where did your apprentice go during that period is the focus of the whole case. In my opinion, it must be that he did something in that hour, which caused a murder to himself and his two brothers."
"There is no evidence to die now... Of course you say so in order to excuse yourself." Zhu Jiaduan still refused to forgive me, "Then how do you explain that all three of them died under the 'Five Thunder Heart-Puncture Fist'? And... Why is my disciple's body in the back alley of your inn?"
"I'll just get in the mouth..." Lei Buji suddenly spoke at this time, "Since Senior Zhu has guessed who my father is, I won't hide it anymore. Yes, my father is the 'Eight Desolate Fist Saint', but I'll tell you the truth... 'Five Thunder Heart-Puncture Fist', I just know, but I have never learned this kind of ruthless kung fu that requires human life as soon as I take action, my father won't teach me."
Before he finished speaking, there was no one among the disciples behind Zhu Jiaduan who were not open. He used a kind of non-sounding sound, but everyone could hear the voice sarcastically: "Ha... even if you die, you will lie that you can't."
Bang-
Lei Buji became angry at that time, and slapped the table and rushed up, shouting at the man: "What did you say?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to pull the man's neck.
The man was not willing to be outdone, and his hand was pressed on the knife, ready to use his sword to greet him at any time.
The two were not far away, and they were about to fight each other in a short time. Fortunately, Sun Yixie stepped forward in time and stopped Lei Buji: "Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Brother Sun was calm while talking, and using the attitude of stopping people as a cover, he took the opportunity to "swing the dragon's tail" to the side and rear. With a blow, he kicked the disciple of the Guangxing Escort Agency who had just spoken down.
After kicking him, he turned around and said to the disciples of the escort agency: "Everyone says less! It's all a misunderstanding~ Everyone takes a step back!"
The guy who was kicked was also careless for a moment. He was choking with Lei Buji, staring at him, staring at him without turning his eyes. He didn't regard Sun Yixie, who came forward to "dissuade the fight" as a threat. Who knew that this guy pretended to dissuade the fight was actually an attack on the people and went on the three ways.
As a result, with Sun Yixie's interference, the people in the escort agency were even more irresistible, and a group of people were about to draw their swords.
"Stop!" Zhu Jiaduan saw the disciples in a mess and stopped talking on the spot, "Does the gangsters fight? What kind of style? All of them are back!"
After all, it was a palm of the sect, and this kind of demeanor was still there. Zhu Jiaduan's wake-up call also successfully prevented the escorts from the Guanghang Escort Agency from being brought into the rhythm of the fighting in the fish market by Sun Yixie.
When the noise stopped, Zhu Jiaduan calmed down and said to the three people in front of him again: "No matter what excuses you make now, how many doubts can you tell... In short, at present, the death of my disciple... You three are the most suspicious, and you cannot prove that you have nothing to do with this matter; especially Lei Buji, will you be able to know whether you will be "Five Thunder Piercing Heart Fist" only you know. We will never ask your father for a while, and then take a step back... You sneaked out alone in the Xu hour without telling it, and have a conflict with my disciple. This possibility is not without..."
"What do you want?" Lei Buji didn't be polite to the other party and asked directly.
"You go back with us first." Zhu Jiaduan replied, "I won't make things difficult for you until the matter is clear, but you can't leave either."
"What?" Lei Buji said, "If you have no evidence, you want me to follow you? Why?"
What he said... Zhu Jiaduan doesn't like to listen to it. No matter how he said it, he is a well-known figure in the world. He also feels that he has taken the right reason and has made certain concessions. If Lei Buji has to refuse, why is it because he is guilty?
This kind of idea that is similar to the logic of robbers and violates the spirit of the rule of law was the norm in the world of that era.
The powerful and powerful side, as long as it does not take human life into consideration, is considered "fairness" and "concessions"; the weak are not qualified to talk about human rights. To put it bluntly, even if you are killed or killed wrongly, the one who kills you in the end will only be fined three drinks of wine... It is also rare, because most people do not even punish these three cups, and the other party will not admit their mistakes at all, nor will they mention this matter again.
Today, Zhu Jiaduan was able to say "find things clearly", because he was not very bad, and because he was for the sake of the Bahuang Fist Saint.
Although Zhu Jiaduan thought it was natural to take revenge, considering that Lei Buji's father was the kind of person who could destroy him by one-handedly, he naturally had to be cautious, at least to ensure that he did not kill the wrong person.
If it is finally verified that Zheng Mukai and the others are really killed by Lei Buji, even if Lei Buwei comes, there is nothing to say. The rules of the righteous path - such unprovoked revenge between the righteous path, should be filled with their lives.
If the Eight Desolate Fist Saint went to seek revenge because his son committed a crime, the Guangxing Escort Agency could openly request all other martial arts fellows to come and preside over justice... Of course, whether they come or not, or that is required to provide some conditions before they come, that is another matter.
"It's unreasonable!" Zhu Jiaduan saw that he was rejected so much, and was a little embarrassed. "I have given up again and again and promised to deal with it impartially. If you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of it? I think... you killed someone! If you don't follow me, you just want to run away, right?"
"Okay! Don't be excited! Listen to me to say something fair!" At this moment, Sun Yixie shouted loudly, then used "fair words" as a guide and put forward a "compromising" suggestion.
…………
That afternoon, after Lei Buji settled in the prison at the yamen, Sun and Huang returned to the inn.
Sun Yixie's previous suggestion was to hand Lei Buji as the suspect in the murder case to the yamen guard until they found out the real murderer.
The guarantors for this matter are Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, and the Dazhen court who was inexplicably "represented" by them; their original words were: "If Lei Buji runs away, Director Zhu, please come to us for guarantees."
His idea not only ensured that Lei Buji would not fall into the hands of the Guangxing Escort Agency, but also restricted his freedom in form, which was considered both ways.
Because it was the arrangement of "big brother", Lei Buji naturally agreed.
Zhu Jiaduan thought about it for a while and it would be fine. If the person really held it in his hands, he would have to find someone to guard it day and night, and serve it with food, drink, defecation and urination. Now he would be worry-free when he sent it to the yamen.
But in fact, the difference between the two is quite big...
If Lei Buji falls into the hands of the group of people in the Guangxing Escort Agency, even if he is not severely questioned, he will definitely not get any good face. He will give you some porridge and may even spit into your pickles, which is possible.
But if you go to the yamen prison, it will be much more comfortable.
As mentioned earlier, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are now "doing cheaply" in the government. No matter what they want, they have to cooperate a little; even the local officials in Xuzhou have to respect them a little, and it is no problem to arrange a VIP-level prison in prison in prison.
In addition, they asked the captain Dong Wan to mobilize the constables in the city to help them inquire about the information...
The government does not care about the affairs of the world in the world, but when encountering special circumstances, such as when someone who can order you to ask the people at the bottom of your class to take care of them, you have to care about them.
About the evening, Dong Wan came to Chengdong Inn and informed Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai in detail about all the information about this case that has been summarized so far.
After all, the constable is specialized in criminal investigation, and in terms of investigating the case, it is much better than the group of people from the Guangwen Escort Agency; the direction they ask is different from those who just want to "seek revenge". The content is more, more profound, and easier to restore the entire picture of the case.
To put it short, after collecting the information and deducing it, they found that there was a place that was probably related to Zheng Mukai's death and the duel between him and Ge Shi.
That place is the most famous brothel in Xuzhou City - Qiliu Youlan.
