Volume 5 Chapter 25

"According to the law, the assassin, even if he fails, will be sent to the frontier for three years."

Looking at the beggar girl, whose face was completely white, Lin Xi said calmly, "if you give me the emissary of the Lord, I will be able to set you up for a year at most."

"No one has directed me." The female beggar knew that even though she had formed an iron evidence and bowed her head, she did not change her voice, but she still trembled and said, "I have a dagger with me, just for self-protection."

Lin Xi shook his head, sighed and said, "I just want to talk to fourth Master Zhu. How can I make a mistake and talk face to face? Is it so difficult for him?"

Because of Lin Xi's sentence, female beggars and several people in the crowd all had some strange taste in their hearts, "this is the new arrest of Liu Tong yesterday?" At this time, some people around also responded.

"It's said that the new tiqiu is a young man, unexpectedly so young!"

"That Liu Tong even bullies the tofu seller. Fourth Master Zhu has done too much. He is in charge of the arrest. He dare to send someone to assassinate him."

"Fortunately, if you don't get stabbed, maybe this man will run away."

"I saw it with my own eyes just now. The girl secretly went up from the back. I thought she was going to steal something, but I didn't expect she was going to assassinate!"

For a while, many people talked about it in succession. Compared with the last time, the voice of course fell to the side of Lin Xi.

At this time, the crowd differential, this fish market Xu Pang's son, the dark faced boy with a heavy face, came in again.

"I've met Lord Lin at Xusheng, the owner of the thirteen strongholds here." The boy with black face saluted Lin Xigong's hand indirectly, and looked at the female beggar coldly and said, "hand in the dagger in your hand."

The beggar girl hesitated a little, and she didn't say anything more. She held out her hand.

There was an uproar.

She did have a very sharp Black Dagger in her hand.

"We and you have always been well and well, but when something happens here, we have to drag us into the water. Fourth Master Zhu has crossed the line this time, so we will not help you this time. You can only bear it yourself." Take the Black Dagger from the beggar girl's hand and hand it to Lin Xi. Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, the young owner of the thirteen dock shop, squints his eyes and whispers this sentence in the beggar girl's ear.

The beggar girl knew that it was her failure that led her and fourth Master Zhu to fall into such a situation. For a while, her figure trembled slightly and her face became whiter.

"It seems that we need a witness from the owner." Lin Xi takes the dagger and smiles quietly at Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng murmured for a while, and went for a thousand steps. He whispered in a voice only heard by two people: "my Lord, it's not hard for you to find out. Zhu Siye doesn't have any bad deeds at ordinary times. If you really want to assassinate you, the best place is where there is no one, not the day after you have a conflict, in this kind of public view. You certainly don't want this Donggang Town to become more chaotic, so I hope you can calm down your anger and give me a day to mediate and let fourth Master Zhu interview you. "

Lin Xi also quietly pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled, nodded the pool with two iron headed pikes below, and asked, "are those two iron headed pikes?"

Xu Sheng did not know his intention. He frowned quietly and nodded, "that's right."

Looking at the young and mature young owner, Lin Xi asked seriously, "how much silver do these two fish usually sell?"

Xu Sheng frowned even more severely and said, "three, two, one."

"I'll give you six Liang silver. Can you sell me these two fish?" Lin Xi asked with a quiet smile.

Xu Sheng is stunned. Looking at Lin Xi, he quietly ponders for a while and says, "nature can."

Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I live in the small building where Mo Laobo lives. I have paid for the old river regiment here. I will bother my little host to send it there together. I will give the silver of these two fish to the little host If fourth Master Zhu changes his mind and wants to find me, he can also find me there. "

"Thank you very much, my Lord." Xu Sheng hears the meaning of Lin Xi. His brow jumps and he bows to Lin Xi.

"Let's go."

Lin Xi didn't say anything more. He nodded to the white beggar girl and walked out of the fish market.

The beggar girl just followed with her head bowed down. She just walked a few steps. Liang Sansi, who got the news, also came running quickly.

When Lin Xi came out of the fish market.

The previously babbling fisherman's child saw a group of blue and white dead things that had been floating and sinking in the port of Donggang Town with the white foam.

Because all the ships with deep water have to load and unload goods in this port, the froth produced by the ships in this port, the dead branches and leaves discarded by the ships are more natural.

In addition, the largest cargo is tung oil, so there are many oil flowers on the water surface of the port.

An old man with a bamboo hat slowly approached the green and white dead object, shaking a small wooden boat.

The old man's surname is Zhong, because he is a lonely old man without any nephew. Seeing his pity, the officials in charge of the wharf freight transportation in Donggang Town let him be responsible for cleaning up the river in the port. There are several liang of silver in a year, and he can barely get a full stomach. Sometimes he can get the discarded waste products that can be used to sell money from the merchant ship, which is an extra income.

Since he is nearly 70 years old, the old man has been very slow and his eyes are not easy to use.

Slowly scooping up the mess in the froth and piling it up in the cabin of the boat, the old man could see it when it was only a dozen steps away from the blue and white dead.

His dim eyes lit up quietly. He thought it was a good thing left on the boat. A bamboo pole with a net pocket was put on it.

A little flipped, he saw more clearly, the blue seemed to be clothes.

But with one of his efforts, the group of things turned over, the old man was ah, issued a scream of horror, a butt fell on the ship, the boat almost indirectly turned over.

A white face soaked by the river "looks" at him, frightening him almost to death.

Where is this good thing? It's just a floating corpse soaked by the river!

There are many fishermen on the river. There is no saying that the fishermen on the river don't drown. It's the first rescue to see someone drown.

In the past few years, I have never heard of any floating corpses around Donggang Town!

This is the time when the large ship in Donggang Town is unloading.

The two ships in the port are big fortune ships with thousands of Jin of cargo. There are big characters of hengrongchang black paint on the ship. Groups of porters are carrying buckets of ants on the springboard to the wharf warehouse.

The old man's scream of horror drew many people's eyes to the past.

Among them, several merchants on the bow of the old man's big ship could see clearly, and their faces turned white.

They were no better than the old man's eyes. They saw that the floating corpse was still tied with several thick hemp ropes.

Several boats approached the floating body at once.

This morning, the Secretary of the interior official who happened to be in the port covered his mouth and nose with a embroidered handkerchief, and forced himself to check the floating corpse with nausea.

His face immediately became very grave.

The rope was tied tightly, and there was a sharp turning wound in the floating corpse's throat.

This is undoubtedly a murder.

"A floating corpse appeared in the harbor?"

In the house, Lin Xi frowned.

Originally, after he and Liang Sansi took the female beggar back to the house of arrest, he was going to report to the superior yamen police station in the town governor's office. He would first go back to Lulin town to meet his family two days later and surprise them.

He doesn't even have the idea of interrogation for the time being, because he is the party concerned and is also the arrest of the case. If we don't report the case, we can't make a final decision. Next, he must see the response of fourth Master Zhu. If the fourth Master Zhu can't give him a satisfactory attitude within the one-day period mentioned by Xu Sheng, he doesn't need to worry at all. He can go home and visit his relatives for a few days and wait for him.

But what he didn't expect was that when he came back to the house, his ass was still hot. Du Weiqing and Xu Jianling had already come back and told him the news.

"Lian adult!"

Lin Xi stood up, ready to go to the port first, but before he could walk out a few steps, a middle-aged man in a water blue official uniform came in with both hands. When he saw the middle-aged official, Liang Sansi and other captains were all awe struck and bowed to salute.

Albert immediately reflected that this tall, Eagle nose, looks very rigid middle-aged officials is his superior, the town police LianZhan mountain of Donggang Town police station, the official rank from Jiupin, so he immediately quietly bowed down, made a ceremony, and said: "even adults."

"You are the new Timothy?" LianZhan mountain looks at Linxi and nods quietly. It's a salute, but his face sinks: "do you know that there is a floating corpse in the port?"

Lin Xi said, "just now."

"Just now?" LianZhan mountain snorted coldly. It seemed that there was a cold light in his eyes. "Where did you go this morning?"

Lin Xi's eyebrows jumped quietly. LianZhan mountain seemed to be very unhappy with him, but his face was still peaceful, and he said, "go to the fish market."

LianZhan mountain looked at Lin Xi and said with a sneer, "since you have arrived in Donggang Town, you should know that Xu Pang and his son are in charge of the fish market. Nothing will happen at all. Are you in a hurry to go to the fish market? Do you want to visit them and get some benefits from their hands?"

Lin Xi frowned and did not reply for a while. He raised his head slightly and looked at LianZhan mountain.

LianZhan mountain, which looks old and stern, seems to be getting more and more displeased. Coldly, he says, "surely you haven't checked that floating corpse at all?"

Lin Xi replied, "I haven't seen it yet."

LianZhan mountain narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xi and said, "I can tell you that the floating body was bound by ropes and there was a fatal knife wound in his throat. This is a homicide!"

"Donggang Town has always been peaceful, and we are willing to do our best. There are very few bad cases, let alone such murders! In such broad daylight, it is the time for the big firms to unload their cargo that the impact is extremely bad. " After LianZhan shanweidun looked at Lin Xi and said, "so I'll limit you to seven days. You must break this case and arrest the murderer!"

"Seven days?!"

As soon as LianZhan mountain said this, Liang Sansi and others, whose face had changed a little before, were all stiff, but Xu Jianling, who was dissatisfied with Lin Xi in his heart, was one on the corner of his mouth
