Li Zheng warned: "This matter is important and cannot be discussed by outsiders."
Cao Taigong looked solemn and said: "You have to find out clearly. If you catch the wrong person, it will be very troublesome. It was originally a good thing, but that person is a hero who fights tigers. If there is no problem, he will definitely be punished by the government."
Reward! If it is really him, there will be no problem. If we really want to capture him, it will be very easy.
This person has stayed at my place for two or three days, eating and drinking, and has already adapted to it. We must be cautious about this matter, and it is best not to make a mistake."
Li Zhengdao: "Don't worry, this person is a family member of Li Gui. Li Kui once had dinner at their house, but he watched Li Gui be killed. Besides..."
Having said this, Li Zheng paused and glanced at Taigong Cao.
Cao Taigong said: "What? Then if Li Kui wins, is there any benefit?"
Li Zheng reminded: "The government has announced a reward for a long time. I am afraid it will be worth thousands of dollars."
"It's such a good thing!" When Cao Taigong heard this, he was overjoyed, his eyes flashed, and his thoughts flashed, and he said, "I am at ease. Now that I have identified this person, wait until I capture this person.
Please ask Li Gui’s family to confirm again before doing so!”
Li Zheng heard this and said: "Tai Gong Cao, how do you plan to take down that man? If you use force normally, you will definitely not be able to take him down. If you don't do it, you will lose the lives of your men. If you don't do it well, you will have to take your life."
Go in."
Cao Taigong did not panic and said: "No matter how strong he is, he is still made of flesh and blood. He will be hungry and tired. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he cannot be on guard all the time."
Li Zheng was deeply convinced and said: "Tai Gong's words are reasonable. What clever advice do you want to hear?"
Cao Taigong thought for a while, touched his beard, and said: "As long as you test a little, it's easy to find out whether this person is a ghost! He stayed with me for two nights, and after today, it will be the third day."
When the banquet starts tonight, I will invite him to drink. Then I will ask him if he has killed the big insect this time and has to go to the county government to collect the reward. If he refuses to go to the county government to collect the reward, there must be something wrong with him.
It's Li Kui.
Then things will be easier to handle later on!"
Li Zheng was overjoyed and said, "When the time comes, let's drink and talk happily and get him drunk!"
Cao Taigong nodded repeatedly and said: "What Li Zheng said is true. When the time comes, we will make him drunk. We will tie him to the Zhuangzi and then look for Li Gui's family to check. If it is confirmed, we will report it to the county and ask everyone to do so."
Come forward, and everything will be safe when the time comes!"
After saying this, Li Zheng clapped his hands and said: "This is a wonderful plan! If this is done properly, we will also do a good thing!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm just doing my duty for the village elders."
After the two people discussed it, Cao Taigong returned home. He went back to his room to sleep for an hour, and then arranged for the dinner to be prepared.
Arrangements were made for the servants to invite Li Kui. Cao Taigong had an idea and poured wine in front of him. He said: "In the past few days, I have been busy with everything, big and small. Today, everything is almost busy. We will not go home until we are drunk."
Li Kui said with a smile: "I feel very guilty for bothering my grandpa these days. I plan to leave tomorrow."
Grand Duke Cao took Li Kui's hand and said, "How can you leave so quickly, strong man? Just eat and drink these days. You are a great hero here, and you will do great things in the future!"
Having said this, Cao Taigong ordered people to bring a large plate of meat and a large pot of wine.
Today, many hunters were invited, and they immediately put out large bowls, but no matter who was left or right, even Li Zheng came to pour wine.
The wine was flowing like syrup, and everyone toasted bowl after bowl, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.
Li Kui felt like he was soaking in wine these days, thinking about leaving, but this wine was really delicious!
Or maybe his mother passed away and he was in a bad mood, so he always felt that this wine was particularly sweet.
In no time, seven or eight bowls of wine were consumed.
Li Kui just felt happy, and Cao Taigong suddenly asked: "I wonder if the strong man wants this tiger to be sent to the government for reward, or to be given some reward here?"
Li Kui was stunned for a moment, then said: "I am a passing guest. My mother died again this time. I am already disheartened. This tiger killing was also accidental. There is no need to go to the county government to invite him. If Zhuangzi has some money, he can just send it to him as a gift."
Some, if not, I will leave tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Taigong immediately glanced at Li Zheng. The two exchanged words in the distance and obviously came to an agreement.
Cao Taigong hurriedly said: "No, no, no, why would a strong man say this! How can we neglect a strong man to eliminate the harm! Tomorrow morning, the village will prepare some money to send him off, and I will send the tiger to the county government tomorrow morning!
"
Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Tomorrow morning, please return that waist knife to me!"
"It's easy! Then let's settle it, come on, warrior, I won't come back until I'm drunk today!" Cao Taigong fetched the wine again, and everyone rushed up, chatting happily again, it was very lively.
Li Kui didn't know what the plan was, he just made up his mind, thinking that he would be able to leave tomorrow. He would drink more tonight and rest for a night, so he would be on his way tomorrow!
At this point, he didn't remember Song Jiang's instructions. He was so drunk that he couldn't even walk safely!
Everyone helped him to the empty room in the backyard, and immediately took out a bench. They immediately took out two ropes and tied the bench together!
Li Zheng was overjoyed. He immediately invited Li Gui's family and asked the woman, "Have you seen clearly? Is he this person?"
The woman came closer, took a look, nodded and said: "Yes, it seems a little different. Why does it seem to be thinner?"
He was unhappy inside, and cursed: "Yes, yes, what do you mean by different? There are naturally differences between fat and thin in a few days. Come on, is it true?"
The woman gritted her teeth, fearful in her heart, and could only say, "This is the man! He killed Li Gui."
"Okay! Very good!" Li Zheng said hurriedly, "Come here, send the message to the Yamen, and let Li Gui's family members be the plaintiffs to file a lawsuit!"
.....
The incident was reported to Yishui County. The county magistrate was shocked and angry when he heard about it. He quickly went to the court and asked: "That black whirlwind Li Kui has a criminal record before, but he killed someone again this time! Such a person should be brought to trial!"
The plaintiff and Orion said: "The man is now tied up in Cao Taigong's house. We are just worried that he has accomplices, so we dare not escort him to the county town for fear that someone will rescue him!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "You are very meticulous in your work. Where is Li Dutou?"
Li Dutou immediately stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "My subordinate is here!"
The magistrate ordered: "The Cao family at the foot of Yiling Mountain is holding Black Whirlwind Li Kui. You can bring more people with you and lock it up secretly. Don't alarm the people around you, so as not to leak the news!"
Li Yun was overjoyed, and immediately took the people, the sword and the equipment without hesitation, and headed towards Cao's house.
This Yishui County is not big, so if there is any slight movement, people in the county will know about it.
After a while, some passers-by went to the Zhufu Hotel to drink and discuss at the wine table.
"That black whirlwind Li Kui was caught this time! I'm afraid he will be beheaded!"
