Poor Family

  Chapter 89 Tracking down the suspect (1)

"The patriarch encountered misfortune when he came back from Zhending Mansion. I wrote to him and told him about the horse, and he rushed back with the goods, even at night. As a result... it ended up on the boat. Not long after entering Xiangzhou..."

  Li Daqi's lips trembled violently, he was about to be unable to continue, Li Yanqing held his father's cold hand, watched him calmly, and encouraged him to continue speaking.

"The patriarch's boat should have been ambushed at night, and the two fellows also died, but the patriarch did not die immediately. The person who rescued him said that the patriarch only said the word 'Fu' at the end, and died. The fatal injury was caused by the A sword pierced through the body."

  Li Yanqing paced back and forth, an indescribable anger burning in his chest, he didn't believe that brothers would do such a heartless thing, but he couldn't explain this coincidence.

   Li Wengui used the horses to attack, and his father was forced to ask the patriarch for help. The patriarch rushed back to Xiangzhou overnight, but was ambushed halfway.

  Also, if Li Wengui really wanted his own horse, then why did the horse incident go away after threatening his father? Li Wengui didn’t initiate a family interrogation, and didn’t come to **** the horse. Why?

   Can all this be explained by the word 'coincidence'?

   "Daddy, is Li Wengui here?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked.

  Li Daqi nodded, and said in a low voice: "He arrived half a day earlier than you. He was in the city at this time, and the patriarch's body was there. I really didn't want to see him, so I came to the warehouse outside the city."

  Speaking of this, Li Daqi suddenly became alarmed, looked at his son in disbelief and said, "Qing'er, you don't think that the patriarch was..."

   "No! No! No! This is absolutely impossible. Although they are not the same mother, they are also brothers. How could Li Wengui treat his brother...Qinger, you can't have such thoughts!"

Li Yanqing said abnormally calmly: "I will think in the best direction, but the patriarch must not be killed so ignorantly, I will definitely catch the murderer, kill him with my own hands, and use his head to sacrifice to the spirit of the patriarch in heaven !"

Although Li Yanqing's tone was calm, his words were full of powerful thoughts of revenge, as if the murderous intent could not be suppressed in his heart, overflowing in all directions, making Li Daqi shudder a little. He stared blankly at his son. At this moment, he Suddenly found that his son has become so strange.

  . ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

It was getting brighter, and Li Yanqing was sitting alone on a small hill not far from the city gate. He hugged his knees and stared at the eastern sky. His eyes were full of sadness. The sudden blow was so heavy that he couldn't bear it. This reality caused him to miss the appointment with Wu Geng for the first time in five years.

  He remembered the story he made up to the patriarch five years ago. He even wanted to find an opportunity to explain and confess the truth to the patriarch, but God deprived him of this opportunity. He could never repay the patriarch for his kindness these years.

An unprecedented resentment and sadness stuck in his heart, making him unable to vent. Li Yanqing stood up and ran down the mountain with all his strength. He ran along the official road aimlessly. To relieve the congestion in your chest. ． ． ． ．

It was finally dawn, and the gate of Anyang County was opened. A ox cart slowly drove out of the gate of the county. A black coffin was placed on the front bullock cart. Li Wengui led several clansmen and fellows to ride behind the coffin silently. Beside him, his eyes were red, and the breeze was blowing the gray hair on his head. He seemed to have aged five years overnight.

  At this time, the bullock cart stopped suddenly, as if something blocked the way. Li Wengui looked forward in surprise, and saw Li Yanqing standing in the middle of the road, holding a dagger in his hand, staring at himself coldly.

   Li Wengui was annoyed, rushed forward and asked, "Li Yanqing, what do you want to do?"

  Li Yanqing said coldly: "I just ask you, where is Liu Chenghong now?"

  Li Yanqing finally thought of one thing. The word "Fu" mentioned by the patriarch before his death most likely refers to Liu Chenghong's son Liu Fu'er. If this is the case, then Li Wengui is also involved.

  Li Wengui was shocked, his face darkened immediately, and he snorted and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about? Get out of the way quickly, and don't block the patriarch's way back home."

  Li Yanqing was just trying to test Li Wengui. Seeing Li Wengui's abnormal expression, he became more suspicious. He stood by the roadside and silently watched the patriarch's coffin pass by him. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Wengui.

Li Wengui had calmed down from the gaffe just now. He passed by Li Yanqing, reined in his horse, and said coldly to Li Yanqing: "I don't care about you when the patriarch is in mourning, but if you dare to act recklessly and make random guesses, you will be fine." Don't blame me for being rude to you!"

  Li Yanqing also stared into his eyes and said tit-for-tat: "The patriarch's death is not clear. You don't cooperate with the government to solve the case, but you are eager to transport the patriarch back to your hometown, so that the death of the patriarch will never end. What is your intention?"

   Without waiting for Li Wengui to answer, Li Feng who was behind said angrily: "The murderer has already escaped. It is human nature to send the patriarch back to his hometown. What are you thinking?"

   "Really?" Li Yanqing turned to Li Feng sharply, "How do you know that the murderer has escaped? Could it be that you know the murderer?"

  Li Feng was at a loss for words for a while, Li Wengui turned his head and gave his eldest grandson a hard look, ignored Li Yanqing, and ordered: "Go on!"

  The bullock cart continued to go south, but Li Yanqing did not follow, but watched the bullock cart slowly go away.

  A quarter of an hour later, Li Yanqing arrived at the dock warehouse again, only to see his father packing his luggage and preparing to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral.

   "Qing'er, come back with me!" Li Daqi stayed up all night, his eyes were red, he was really exhausted.

   "Daddy told me yesterday that the patriarch came back by boat with the cargo. What about the boat and the cargo?"

  Li Daqi shook his head, "The ship is missing, and the high-quality furs worth several thousand taels of silver were also robbed, hey! I can't care about these now."

  Li Yanqing pondered for a while and asked again: "Then did you report to the official?"

"How could such a major murder not be reported to the government? In fact, it was the government's arresting head Lei who informed us that I was supposed to deal with the government, but after Li Wengui came, he took over the dealings with the government. I don't know." How's it going?"

Although Li Daqi did not dare to suspect that the death of the patriarch was caused by Li Wengui, he also felt that there were many doubts, and that Li Wengui could transport the body of the patriarch away, which means that he has closed the case in the government. This really made Li Daqi dissatisfied with Li Wengui, so he He also became rude in speech and began to call him by his first name.

  Li Yanqing took his own horse and got on it. Li Daqi was anxious, and quickly pulled the rein to persuade him: "Qing'er, don't pursue it anymore, come back with me to attend the funeral of the patriarch!"

  The other party is a vicious murderer, and he is worried about his son's life.

  Li Yanqing bit his lips tightly and said: "If the truth is not found out, the patriarch will die in peace. Don't worry, Dad, I will never act recklessly."

  Li Daqi slowly let go of his hand, sighed and said: "I can understand, just wait a moment!"

  He went back to the room and took out a blueprint, handed it to Li Yanqing and said: "Our ship has some characteristics, this is the design of the ship, you should be careful!"

  Li Yanqing took the pattern and put it in his arms, "I'll go first, Dad, take care all the way!"

  He rode the horse with both legs, yelled, and the white horse galloped towards the official road with four hooves. Li Daqi looked at his son's back and sighed softly, full of worry in his heart.

  . ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At noon, in the Wanghu Restaurant in Anyang County, the headhunter Lei Song went up to the second floor and was led to Li Yanqing's wine table by the staff. He was dark, with a big beard, and looked quite rude, but his eyes shone with shrewdness.

  Li Yanqing clasped his fists and saluted with a smile, "Thank you, Butou Lei, for coming as promised!"

  Lei Song has to deal with a lot of trivial matters every day, if it is not for the sake of thirty taels of silver, he would not pay attention to a teenager.

  He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Stop saying such polite words, the little official is also a relative of Li Wenyou!"

   "He was my patriarch, but he died unfortunately. I want to know more about his case."

As he said that, Li Yanqing filled Lei Song with a glass of wine, Lei Song drank a glass of wine, and calmed down his impatience a little bit, "The case of your patriarch is a bit tricky, his brother has gone through the formalities of dismissing the case yesterday, of course, we still We will continue to search for the murderer, but if we really can’t find out, the family members can’t make trouble anymore.”

   "When Butou Lei said that the case is difficult, does it mean that the case is complicated?"

   Ask everyone for votes on Monday!
