Chapter 170 Wily and calculating
Zhao Shen heard about it, and replied with an apologetic face: "Unfortunately, my younger brother was injured by a gangster this morning, and I haven't woken up yet, Master Sun has something to tell me."
Master Sun frowned when he heard this, and said displeasedly: "The matter of official salt is of great importance, and the question is for the person concerned. As far as I know, Mr. Zhao has been working in the county magistrate's mansion, so how can he answer on behalf of your brother?"
Zhao Shen sighed helplessly, answered the wrong question and said: "To be honest, my younger brother did a lot of ridiculous things because I was not in the mansion. As an elder brother, I am also very guilty. I asked him about the official salt, but I know more or less In some cases, if Mr. Sun doesn't believe me, Detective Meng has lived in the town for a long time, so he must know how the Zhao family's second master behaves, and it is common for him to be hurt by bad guys."
Master Sun was confused by him, and he talked about the matter of Zhao Erguan Yan, how could these things be involved?
Meng Jun took a sip of his tea and said lightly: "That's true. The second master of the Zhao family has a bad reputation. He committed murder, arson, rape, murder, and looting. The people are miserable. If he is to be judged for his evil deeds, there are probably countless witnesses."
Zhao Shen was a bit uncomfortable when he heard that, he just wanted to use his notoriety to prove that he was hurt by the villain, not to publicize his family scandal.
But this little head catcher didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, but he dared to say it mercilessly in front of him. Isn't this not a disguised form? Besides, he was improperly disciplined.
Zhao Shen took a second look at Meng Jun, seeing that he was young, majestic, with no trace of timidity in his words. It was no wonder that Li Huai would send him to invite Mr. Sun. This man did have some courage.
Master Sun only inquired about the officials, but he didn’t know that this person was so full of evil. Hearing Meng Jun’s words, he slapped the table with his hand, “It’s unreasonable, how can you put the officials in your eyes when you oppress the people like this!”
Seeing this, Zhao Shen got up and apologized: "It's me, the elder brother, who misdisciplined me. Master Sun calm down."
Master Sun snorted. Looking at the papers this morning, Zhao Er is already in his thirties, and has already married and established a career.
He was not at all polite to Zhao Shen, and said directly and seriously: "I don't want to ask about your family affairs. As the governor of Yantie, I have to deal with the affairs of my duty. Since I have come here for a while, no matter whether people die or die I need to see you all the time, and please ask Mr. Zhao to lead the way."
Master Sun's tone was an announcement, not a discussion.
Zhao Shen's expression froze slightly. He had known for a long time that Mr. Sun had always been ruthless, he acted vigorously, rigid and impersonal, and it was true when he saw him today.
Liu Quan behind Zhao Shen sounded a little annoyed, but he was a sixth-rank petty official who didn't give the uncle face, so he stepped forward to speak for the uncle.
Zhao Shen grabbed him quickly with his eyes and hands, and stood in front of Liu Quan, with a modest smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, he said to the two: "In that case, I will take Mr. Sun to have a look."
"Then let's go." Master Sun got up, without even touching the tea in hand.
Meng Jun put down his teacup and got up.
Zhao Shen smiled and led the way, and gave Liu Quan a wink without any trace, and asked him to go to the backyard to check first, in case there were other accidents.
Liu Quan understood, and did not follow, but rushed to the backyard ahead of time through the side door of the hall.
…
Backyard,
Zhao Er woke up slowly, his head was still a little unclear, and Liu Quan's face came into view.
Seeing Liu Quan, he suddenly recalled the scenes before he fell into a coma. The elder brother cut off his tongue cruelly!
Zhao Er opened his mouth and throat and wanted to make a sound, but he made a babbling sound accompanied by severe pain. He clearly felt that his tongue was gone. Thinking that he would not be able to speak in the future and become a cripple, he wanted to tear his eyes apart and struggled. Those who are angry will get up.
Liu Quan hurriedly pushed the man down, took out a cotton kerchief and pressed it on his mouth and nose, directly covered him and passed out.
When he was unconscious, Zhao Er was still staring at Liu Quan in disbelief.
Liu Quan sighed and closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Second Master, I'm sorry, in case you talk nonsense, you should just rest quietly for a while."
"Master Sun, this way please."
Suddenly, the voice of the uncle came from outside the courtyard.
Liu Quan hurriedly helped Second Master tidy up his clothes and quilt, and hurriedly jumped out from the back window.
squeak —
The door was pushed open, and Zhao Shen walked in with the two of them.
Zhao Shen glanced at the person on the bed who hadn't woken up, and said to Master Sun: "My brother hasn't woken up yet, Master Sun, please go ahead."
Master Sun glanced at the motionless person on the bed, then turned to look at Meng Jun, "I don't understand these things, so go and see what's going on."
Meng Jun nodded in response, and went directly to check.
I don't know if it was an illusion or what, after walking in for a moment, Meng Jun smelled a faint smell of drugs in the air.
His eyes flashed, and then he leaned over to check Zhao Er's situation.
At this time, Zhao Shen reminded: "Hurry up Meng, my brother hurt his tongue."
Hearing that, Meng Jun opened his mouth and saw that it was bloody, only the root of his tongue was left, and there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, so he frowned and closed it quickly.
Get up and walk over, explained to Mr. Sun: "The tongue was cut off by a sharp knife, and I may not be able to speak in the future."
Master Sun frowned upon hearing this, "It's really a coincidence that someone cut off his tongue just before we came."
After hearing this, Zhao Shen calmed down and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, I will not make things difficult for you. I have sent someone to collect evidence for what Zhao Er did, and I will present it this afternoon at the latest. Even if he can't speak, Zhao Shen The family will never show any favoritism, and they will be punished as they please."
Master Sun did not expect him to say that. This is a disguised acknowledgment of Zhao Er's actions, and this Mr. Zhao killed his relatives righteously and took the initiative to help collect evidence for his younger brother. It seems that he did not want to get involved in this matter.
"Forget it, my job is to investigate the officials. If you can really find the people involved and their officials' dens, that would be the best."
Zhao Shen scolded him as an old fox. What he said was to find witnesses and evidence, but he asked him to find the den. This is clearly two different things.
Master Sun ignored whether he answered or not, and said to Meng Jun: "I am a bit hungry after traveling all morning. You send me back to the post station and order a table of delicious meals. We will wait for Mr. Zhao's news while we eat."
Meng Jun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "Yes, Master Sun."
After finishing speaking, the two walked out the door.
Zhao Shen's complexion was a little gloomy, and he clenched his fists.
It is really a loss of his wife and a soldier. He should not have participated in this matter from the beginning.
In the end, his younger brother betrayed him and got blood on his hands. Even if he worked hard to find the den, the only one who would benefit would be Mr. Sun, but now he is in trouble, and he has to make wedding dresses for others.
I feel aggrieved in my heart, but there is no other way at the moment.
Zhao Er will not be able to speak in the future, but he can write. With his temperament, he will definitely feel jealous. His best affiliation.
