Chapter 278

"It doesn't matter to us who did it." Lu Yunkai put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone used by the twins last night into a small portable box, "we just need to be patient and wait for the dawn."

"Can you leave at daybreak?" Song Xintong's heart has no bottom, "now it's time."

It's already gray and bright. It will be bright in two or three quarters of an hour at most.

"It should be. There are more people than we are anxious to leave. Now the county magistrate has almost finished the interrogation. If there are no questions, he will definitely let us go." Lu Yun said.

"If we don't catch the killer, we'll let him go?" Song Xintong expresses doubt, how also want to leave them this kind of suspect all here convenient examination?

"He looked at our hands and saw something strange about the murderer's hands." Lu Yunkai said.

It is true that there is such a thing. After thinking about it, song Xintong thinks that he has figured it out, "I don't know who was killed? Who lives in the post house? "

"It's not clear."

"It's the first time I've ever met such a thing when I'm so old. It's really scary." Song Xintong sat beside the bed and folded his disturbed clothes. "Have you met before?"

"I haven't either. I've only seen adults try cases in court," Lu said

"Neither have we." The twins were scared and didn't slow down, "sister, are you really dead?"

Song Xintong nodded: "really."

"It's scary." Xiaobao was scared and sat next to Dabao. He was not as energetic as day. "Why do they want to kill people?"

"I don't know. I'll know when the adults know."

"Oh." The twins nodded.

Lu Yunkai looked at the pale twins and thought of diverting their attention. "It's still early. Why don't I teach you to recite a new Fu?"

"Oh." Twins can't say no, or they'll be beaten.

When song Xintong had cleaned up, he went to the door and said to the Yamen guard outside, "my Lord, will you allow us to boil some hot water in the barn?"

The Yamen officer took a look at her. She was a woman again and nodded her head.

Song Xintong and Daya go to the kitchen and heat the hot water first.

Then he looked at the foamed dough, took out the steamer and put it in the pot. After washing his hands, he began to pull noodles to make steamed bread. Song Xintong didn't have a mold, so he couldn't make it square, so he made a big steamed bread at will. Because there is no gauze, so tear a lotus cabbage, a leaf to pack a steamed bread, so as not to leave out.

Soon, I made about 30. I put two layers of steamer on the water and steamed it. After about half an hour, it was almost ready.

It's light outside, too.

Lu Yun came to find song Xintong, "you can go."

"Ready to go? That would be great. " Song Xintong handed Lu Yunkai a steamed bread with chopsticks bigger than the palm of his hand. "You eat it first. Daya, go and carry the salute to the carriage. I'll put the rest of the steamed bread into the basket and go away."

Lu Yunkai ate a mouthful of hot steamed bread. It was soft and delicious.

"How does it taste?"

"Delicious." Lu Yunkai handed it to Lu Yunkai, "have a taste."

Song Xintong took a bite and thought it was really good. Although there was no fermented old noodles, they still tasted very soft and fragrant. The white steamed bread was really white.

Song Xintong cleans up the kitchen, adds a lot of water to the pot, and heats up who with some charcoal left in the kitchen to help the woman who cooked last night.

They packed up and drove out of the post house. Other residents came out one after another. Maybe they wanted to have another sleep, but they didn't have the heart.

The Yamen officers carried the corpses from the side gate to the county yamen, and some of them quickly chased out to the official roads on both sides.

Song Xintong looked at the Yamen who went to Lingnan city in surprise, "why do they let them go there?"

The guests who hadn't left said, "it's said that we found out who the murderer is. It's the man who lived in the same room with that man. That man rolled up money and ran away at night."

Song Xintong did not expect to be like this, "not familiar people?"

"No, it's just the rain shelter on the way."

"If you don't know me, I'll sleep with you. I'm so brave."

"It must be to save money."

"In order to save money, you can't partner with someone you don't know? That's the end of it. "

……

After listening for a while, song Xintong completely clarified what was the matter. It turned out that because the post house was watching the rain, the original room of one or two silver became five Liang, the original room of fifty Wen became five yuan, and the room was leaking rain, and it was next to the stable. It was all the smell of horse dung. He couldn't stand it.

The dead and the murderer on the way to live in a guest room, it is estimated that the disclosure of wealth, this was killed.

They also live together, but they are all from the same place. They know the root and the bottom, and dare not live with outsiders when they go out.

Song Xintong thinks that this post station is really too profitable. Many people who want to go to Lingnan city will not take a detour to the town or county in front of them. They live directly in the post house and then walk directly from the official road. It's too convenient.

The staff of the post house is really hard to beat, but they are officials, and there is no way for them. If it's fine on a sunny day, I'll sleep in a forest. On a rainy day, I have to go in.

"Dabao, Xiaobao, do you hear me?" Song Xintong looks at the twins.

The twins nodded that they knew, "I can't live with anyone else."

Song Xintong took this opportunity to educate: "well, one is that you can't live with strangers, the other is that you can't reveal your wealth. Even people who have known each other for a long time can't do it. Do you know who you are and who you don't know? Some people may look good on the surface, but bad at the bottom of their heart. "

"After that, you can't trust people? Can't talk to people? " Asked Dabao.

"You are still young now. When you grow up and see more people, you will know how to look at people. If you really can't see it and have to live with people, you must be careful. You can't say everything and show your wealth, you know?"

"Good." The twins said.

"Hold on, let's go." Lu Yun drove his horse forward.

Song Xintong was eating hot steamed bread in the carriage. He thought it was slightly sweet and delicious. He gave Lu Yun a bite and drove the carriage forward with others.

Some of these people took a detour to other counties and other official roads and turned to other prefectures. Only a few carriages went to Lingnan city.

Maybe it's because I lived in the post house and experienced such a murder. Several other owners carrying goods talked more and took the initiative to talk to Lu Yunkai: "since we are all going to Lingnan City, we can go together and take care of them all the way."

Lu Yun arched his hand: "my wife is pregnant. Our carriage is slow. If several shopkeepers don't care, we are willing to go together."

"What's the matter? We are also loading goods, and the carriage is slow. The speed is just right."

After a little chat, song Xintong learned that these people were all in the wine business. All the drinks on the bus were from their Jiuxian specialty. They were all jars, so he couldn't walk too fast to break them.

These people are very good at chatting. They talked about what they had seen and heard in recent years. They were all fascinated by it. They laughed all the way and soon arrived at Lingnan city.
