Chapter 61 Disaster is not as good as the family
The next morning, Nan Ke finished washing up, dressed neatly and walked out of his wing room.
He was used to staying in bed in his previous life. After traveling through time, he thought he could be free, but who knew he got up day by day. He used to go to Qinghe Village to check out the escape route, but now he has something to be busy every day.
Fortunately, he didn't get up early alone. When he came out of the room, there were already two people in the courtyard outside.
Although autumn is already coming, I don’t know what method has been used in Bilin Pavilion. The courtyard is still full of flowers, and the flowers are red and green, which makes people feel refreshed.
The stone table in the courtyard was used by Nan Ke as a dining table. At this time, there were servants who had prepared meals, a few baskets of buns, three bowls of white porridge and some exquisite pickles.
Captain Zhou rose earlier than Nan Ke. Before dawn, he began to polish his blood in the yard. When Wutong came out from behind, he stopped and sat opposite the little girl at both ends of the stone table.
He originally wanted to talk to the little girl more, and he was able to get closer to Nan Ke, but after he talked for a long time, the little girl just said nothing and calmed down.
Seeing Nan Ke coming out, Captain Zhou stood up and said, "Come and eat, it's just delivered the warm ones."
"Um."
Nan Ke sat down in his position and picked up a small bag.
The day before, it took too much energy to stimulate qi and blood. After returning, Nan Ke gave a few simple instructions and went back to his room, so he didn't have time to teach Wutong how to practice.
After taking a bite of the small bun, Nan Ke looked at Wutong and opened his mouth to say something, but considering that there was another Captain Zhou next to him, he smiled and said, "Eat it, it will be cold if it is put."
What I taught Captain Zhou was only a simple version, but if I wanted to teach Wutong, I had to go into a serious and improved version. This kind of secret job obviously had to be done when I was alone.
"Um."
Wutong also took a small bun and ate it. She remembered Nan Ke’s previous instructions that girls’ families should eat more during the growth stage. Some places can still lose weight after gaining weight, but some places will be difficult to get fat.
Bilin Pavilion is a "high-end consumption place". Although the breakfast tastes less than that of the previous life, it is absolutely willing to put it in the ingredients, so the taste is much better than in the previous life.
Captain Zhou also started eating. He was an ordinary captain who had eaten such good things before. He could almost get as fast as the two opposite him.
Halfway through the meal, Captain Zhou suddenly put down the small bun in his hand and said, "By the way, the servant brought the breakfast from the old man in the Li family."
Although the butler of the Li family survived by luck, his body would not be better for a while. The main reason was that the old man was not in sufficient energy and had to lose too much this time, so he had to rest.
According to the doctor, it takes at least half a month to get your body conditioned. However, when you use the best medicinal materials and supplements, if you were an ordinary person, you would probably not have lived long.
"That old man is also lucky." Nan Ke sighed.
"That's right? If the knife is a little deeper and hurts the artery, it is probably impossible for the gods to save it." Captain Zhou agreed.
"It's also the young master of the Deng family who is cruel, but he has more ideas behind his back. There shouldn't be many opportunities to do it yourself, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get the wrong position even if he scratched his neck."
"Oh."
Nan Ke smiled and didn't answer.
He knew the real reason. Although the wound on his neck was bloody, he could not end up now. The real reason for the deficiency of qi and blood should be that he used a secret method to summon a corpse.
The wife of the Li family housekeeper taught him before she died, but she probably didn't really want to be kind. If Nan Ke hadn't arrived yesterday, the corpse beauty had eaten two young men, and the next one would have been his turn.
I can only say that the luck of the Li family housekeeper is really good. At the same time, it is almost a miracle that Qinghe Village can maintain it in this way.
"What did Old Man Li say last night?" Nan Ke took a sip of the porridge and asked by the way.
He came back last night and gave a brief order to Captain Zhou and went back to his room. Before going to bed, he reviewed and analyzed the situation of the fight that day and summarized his combat experience. After all, no one taught him, so he could only spend time thinking about these things.
As for asking Old Man Li about the questions, he directly handed it to Captain Zhou. Anyway, he was also a constable and was familiar with the case-breaking process. He knew what to ask and how to ask.
"He doesn't know anything." Captain Zhou smiled bitterly, "He was wiped with his neck that night and fainted not long after. When he woke up, he was thrown into the forest in the north of the city as a corpse.
Not to mention where the concubine of his head's concubine was, even if that concubine was still alive, this old guy didn't know anything. I asked for an hour last night, but I didn't ask for anything useful."
"Oh, it seems we have to do it ourselves." Nan Ke sighed. He believed that the Li family housekeeper would not hide anything at this time. Since he said he didn't know, he really didn't know.
He tapped his fingers on the table, and Nan Ke thought about it and asked again, "Can he be considered a witness?"
If the Li family butler could come out to identify the behavior of the Deng family’s young master, he would also be able to help Nan Ke and the others clear some of the injustice, at least to make him less suspicious.
"Not counting." Captain Zhou shook his head, "I asked specifically last night that he was not in the capital city book. For the yamen, such people are black households and have almost no weight in their words.
But the concubines of their heads were born in the capital city, including the boys born to his concubine, who were also registered in the civil book of Liudu City. If the concubine could be found, it would be much easier to overturn the case.
Then we will arrest the eldest son of the Deng family first, and I will send my old brothers to operate. I will not be able to secretly settle the case without disturbing the county magistrate.”
"It's roughly settled?"
Captain Zhou pursed his lips, "I heard that this case was very fierce, and it seemed that it had all been spread to the county magistrate. The county magistrate must be under a lot of pressure now. If we are faster, we will put all kinds of evidence first.
Even if some people want to cover up, they don’t have the chance or time to give them space to operate behind their backs.”
"Okay." Nan Ke nodded, then began to bury his head and eat.
After two or three times, I picked up a hand towel and wiped my mouth. Nan Ke asked again:
"What do you say from your friend?"
Captain Zhou turned his head and looked out the window. There were already more pedestrians outside. He estimated the time in his mind and said:
"It should be almost done."
It also takes time for them to pass through Bilin Pavilion to the city gate, and it is much closer to the cell. Moreover, it is not difficult to read the records of the cell and it will not take long.
If his brother Zhang still remembered his instructions, went to the prison cell today and helped him read the information, when they walked over here, they should have had an answer.
"Okay, let's go."
Nan Ke stood up, without delay, and went out of Bilin Pavilion and walked towards the city gate.
.........
.........
This time, Nan Ke did not bring Wutong with him, but asked Wutong to rest well in Bilin Pavilion. This girl should have not had a serious rest after escaping from Qinghe Village.
First, I ran around the 100,000 mountains, and later when I entered the city, I inquired about Nan Ke for a long time because of Nan Ke’s affairs. Although I didn’t say anything, Nan Ke could also see that this girl should be unable to hold on.
Therefore, although Wutong was unhappy, Nan Ke still asked her to stay.
When Captain Nan Ke and Zhou arrived at the tea shop at the gate of the city, the sun had gradually risen, and the gate of the city was still crowded. This congestion would be unblocked for a while.
Unless the murderer is arrested in the city, the patrol team can retreat and replace the previous elderly guards, otherwise, even if there are not many people, one person can delay it for a while.
For the situation in front of you, those who lined up to leave the city gate were naturally full of resentment, and for Lao Hutou who opened a tea shop at the city gate, this was a huge joy.
If he didn't consider other factors, he would wish so many people were queuing up at the city gate every day. In this way, he seemed to be able to live a life of selling tea during the day until his legs were weak, and counting money at night to cramp.
"Oh, please, please, there is no place inside, can you make do with it outside?" Seeing the two people coming from afar, Old Hu immediately skillfully picked up a pot of tea to welcome him.
He has been busy these two days, so busy that he almost didn't even have a chance to take a breath, but for him, this kind of life is painful and happy. If he can continue to be happy, he doesn't mind being more painful.
"No need to worry."
Nan Ke waved his hand, and when Lao Hutou didn't recognize him, he took a step back and asked Captain Zhou to negotiate.
Yesterday he discovered that his understanding of the world was indeed a bit lacking. No one else could notice this by saying a few words, but if you say too much, you will always be exposed.
When I sacrificed the eldest son of the Deng family to the heavens, I really have to find some time to study the history and customs of the Chu State, and then compile a few serious swordsmanship and boxing techniques, which is better than relying on my own to think about it.
Captain Zhou took a step forward, pointed to the teapot in Lao Hutou's hand, and asked, "Boss, did anyone keep a pot of tea this morning?"
"Leave a pot of tea?" Old Hu was stunned, squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them again.
He didn't see who the two people in front of him were. Although Nan Ke looked familiar, he had become more familiar with him over the years. Who could really recognize him one by one?
"A man surnamed Zhang should be wearing a wardrobe." Captain Zhou added.
"Hiss." Old Hu frowned and thought for a while, put down the teapot in his hand, "It's really not. I've been running a shop for so many years, and I've never seen anyone who specializes in tea. If there is, I will definitely have an impression."
"No?" Captain Zhou glanced at Nan Ke's face. Seeing that Nan Ke did not show that impatient expression, he pursed his lips and said, "That's disturbing."
"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe the man hasn't had time to come yet. If someone comes, then the old man will definitely pay more attention." Lao Hu hit the head and haha.
It is said that people become egos. Although Lao Hutou has not achieved much, he has mastered his temper by observing his words and expressions. Seeing that the two of them looked a little heavy, he turned around and returned to his tea shop tactfully.
He is an old man who runs a tea shop. Although he has some connections in the army, if he wants to enjoy his old age, he has to learn the ability to keep himself alone. Some things can be bang, and some things can't be touched.
"Is it too early?" Captain Zhou said to himself.
At this moment, the sun had not reached the top of his head. Nan Ke looked up and saw a familiar colorful figure hovering in the sky not far away.
Although the little girl did not come, she sent a "eyeliner" to the top. I guess if any important matters were involved, the human-like parrot would go back to report.
"Is your friend reliable?" Nan Ke began to walk back, and asked at the same time.
He wore a face towel yesterday and was fine outside. Today he was more courageous. He didn't even wear a face towel. He was nothing when he went out, but now he was a little scared when he stood at the door.
On the contrary, Captain Zhou next to him was still wearing a hat and said confidently: "It should be reliable."
Nan Ke looked at Captain Zhou after hearing this, "You should be, it makes me feel a little confused."
Captain Zhou hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "How about going to his house to have a look?"
Although he didn't see any clear dissatisfaction in Nan Ke's eyes, he knew the meaning of his existence. If he didn't even use this, even if Nan Ke didn't say anything, he would be panicked in his heart.
Moreover, just like when I first met that Lao Zhang, Captain Zhou has been accustomed to dealing with monsters and monsters at the bottom of the world over the years, and his personality has really changed a little.
When he encountered this situation, his first reaction was not that he had not had time, but that... did Lao Zhang betray himself because of other things?
Nan Ke stopped and said, "It's actually unnecessary."
Captain Zhou's face was a little gloomy and gloomy, "I revealed a little about the matter yesterday."
"So what?" Nan Ke asked, "Do you think he will betray you?"
Captain Zhou was silent for a while and said, "I don't know."
Then, Captain Zhou's hand holding the hilt suddenly tightened a little, "But I know that this life is the most reliable way to hold it in his own hands."
"Ha." Nan Ke laughed, and Captain Zhou felt a little relieved. Captain Zhou's current panic came from possible betrayal, but more often, he was afraid of what Nan Ke had thought about him.
After all, judging from the current situation, if he wants to overturn the case, what he can really rely on is Nan Ke.
After a while, Nan Ke finally curled his smile and raised his hand to pat Captain Zhou's shoulders. "It's not true. Even if he betrays you, he will not come to the door of someone else's house. Just look for him if you have something to do or not. The disaster will not be as good as the young family."
Captain Zhou looked up and asked, "Why don't you go to the prison door to wait for him?"
Nan Ke pursed his lips when he heard this, patted Captain Zhou on the shoulder and said:
"Let's lead the way."
