Hu Fan nodded, "Sun Jian, are you willing to cooperate with my investigation and draw a picture of Sun Gui and Sun Qing?"
At this time, Sun Jian had no other choice but to agree, because not agreeing would be a guilty conscience. He said resolutely, "I am willing to cooperate, but I, Sun Jian, am a rough man and don't know how to draw."
"It doesn't matter, the county government has a special painter, you just need to tell him whether it looks like or not." After saying that, Hu Fan stood up and said, "Of course, I will wrong you for a few more days, and you have to live in a prison cell.
.”
Sun Jian didn't care about this. Anyway, he knew that it would be easy to escape from the prison with his kung fu, but it was not the time to break up with each other yet.
After everything was settled, Chen Xiaobei took Chen Xiaobo and hurried to Hetou Village.
By the time the two of them rushed back to the village, it was already dark.
But he saw Yang Zhi sitting under the big locust tree and chatting animatedly with several village guards.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Yang Zhi hurriedly came up to meet him, knowingly asked, pretending to be concerned, "Brother Xiaobei is back, was that man used yesterday?"
Of course Chen Xiaobei didn't know what happened after he left Xiaojia Town. He clasped his fists at Yang Zhi and said, "It's used. It's just a pity. Chen Ping's murderer has already escaped, but I believe he will be arrested soon."
Follow the law."
"That's good, that's good, okay, I'm going back to sleep." Yang Zhi said a few words and turned around to leave. This surprised Chen Xiaobei. Why did he just say so well that he had to leave as soon as he came?
?
He turned to look at village guard Chen Daqiang, "What did he tell you just now?"
Chen Daqiang scratched his head, "I didn't say anything, it was just nonsense. Oh, by the way, he said there should be fish in the river."
Chen Xiaobei didn't think any more and drove the donkey cart back to his home.
At this time, Cui Hongyu was feeding chickens at home, and Chen Qiaoer was still diligently practicing writing under the tree.
Hearing the movement of the donkey cart and seeing that Chen Xiaobei was back, Chen Qiaoer immediately jumped up to greet him.
Cui Hongyu also hurriedly came forward to help him unload the donkey cart and took the donkey aside to graze.
Cui Hongyu's eyes were bloodshot and ringed with panda eyes. This must be because he didn't sleep well last night and it was another sleepless night.
Just as Chen Xiaobei was about to speak, Chen Qiaoer spoke first.
"Brother, brother, I picked up eight eggs this morning." She excitedly reported the results to her relatives.
Chen Xiaobei nodded approvingly and tapped Chen Qiaoer's head gently, "Okay, then have you helped your sister-in-law feed the chickens?"
"Hey, hey, I even fed the little wolf."
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at Cui Hongyu. Cui Hongyu nodded, his smile full of affection, "Yes, Qiaoer may have done it."
Chen Qiaoer was even more proud to receive praise from her sister-in-law, and proudly said again, "Brother, brother, I also helped my sister-in-law water the vegetable field."
"Yes, Qiao'er is getting more and more capable. Okay, let's continue practicing calligraphy."
After praising Chen Qiaoer away, Chen Xiaobei put on a concerned expression, "I didn't sleep last night, okay? I made you worry about me again."
Cui Hongyu said with concern, "I'm not too worried about you leaving with the official. I'm just worried about where Sun Jian and Yang Zhi came from. What will happen if the official knows that you have close contact with them?"
negative effect."
To be honest, Chen Xiaobei didn't know where these people came from. The only thing he was sure of was that Yang Zhi and Liu Rumei were on the same line. They were half official families.
As for Sun Jian, because two of his subordinates are suspected of killing Chen Ping, they can only wait for the official investigation results to come out. If Sun Jian really does not know about it, he may still be able to continue to cooperate. If Sun Jian is involved, then basically everything will happen in the future.
We are strangers now.
But he couldn't talk about these things yet. He didn't want Cui Hongyu to worry too much.
"Don't worry, they are all decent people too. By the way, after dinner let's go to the river to have a look. I heard people say there are fish in the river."
At this time, Qingniu Mountain.
Led by the village guards, Shi Yan and the others arrived at the construction site of the cable bridge.
In addition to a few people from Liu Mansion brought by Ma Xiaoyi, those who stayed at the scene were a dozen villagers from Hetou Village headed by Lidong.
After all, there are fifty men a day, and these villagers work very hard. Even the village guard captain Lidong is reluctant to leave this high-paying job.
Lidong was relatively unfamiliar with Shi Yan and the others. In his impression, he had probably seen him once or twice.
Stranger than stranger, he also knew that this was Sun Jian's person, so he seemed very enthusiastic, "Brother Shi, look, in two days, the iron rope will be erected, and all that's left is to lay the planks."
Shi Yan nodded and looked at Ma Xiaoyi and the others. At first glance, these people were not from Hetou Village.
"What are they for?"
Lidong explained with a smile, "Oh, they are all craftsmen hired from the county. We have never seen a chain bridge. If it weren't for their help, this bridge would never have been built."
So that's it, Shi Yan nodded, turned around and found a shady place to sit down.
If everything went well, he had to take a break and prepare to go down the mountain. He didn't want to stay in this barren mountain for too long.
After all, coming to the mountain was just to deceive others, and the real purpose had been achieved.
At this time, Ma Xiaoyi, who was busy on the iron chain, also discovered Shi Yan.
Although he didn't recognize Shi Yan, he could tell just by his appearance that he should be from Goshawk Mountain.
After waiting for so long, Ma Xiaoyi was still a little excited when the people from Goshawk Mountain finally came up. He came here for two purposes. One was to help Chen Xiaobei build the cable bridge, and the other was to monitor some of Sun Jian's movements.
.
Now Sun Jian's men have shown up, which is a good sign.
Ma Xiaoyi didn't know everything that happened at the foot of the mountain. How did he know that what happened was not a good sign for him.
At this time, outside Xiaojia Town.
After arresting so many people in Gogying Mountain, Liu Rumei did not dare to return to Qingniu County with such arrogance, so she found a forest outside the town as a temporary interrogation place.
Three poles high in the sun, all the questions that need to be asked have been clarified.
Zheng Ke came to Liu Rumei and asked solemnly, "Miss, how do you plan to deal with so many people?"
Liu Rumei smiled calmly, "I am not a murderer. Even if they commit heinous crimes, they will be handed over to the Crown Prince for trial in the end, so they have to be temporarily detained."
"But..." Zheng Ke only said two words and hesitated, but Liu Rumei understood what he meant, which was to be locked up there.
Yes, no matter whether he returns to the capital or not, the house in Qingniu County no longer belongs to him. Liu Rumei's second brother Liu Yuanwu will arrive soon.
Therefore, it is impossible to be imprisoned in Liu Mansion, and we have to find another place.
After much deliberation, there is only one place.
That is to take it to Hetou Village.
Yang Zhi and Chen Xiaobei jointly guarded him, that's right, it's perfect.
Yang Zhi has a blood feud with these people, so he will not take it lightly. Moreover, the terrain in Hetou Village is complicated, and even if these people want to run away, they will be blind.
