Touring the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 020 [Hit the Grass to Startle the Snake]

Li Shancai was convulsed with pain, his mouth was trembling, but he couldn't utter a word. His eldest son angrily stepped forward and pushed Shi Bin. Called: "Beat someone, someone attacked the official!"

Both sides yelled and shouted. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Li Shancai took a breath and stood up, using all his strength to shout: "Stop it!"

Captain Yan and the others were waiting for his sound, but Li Shancai's two sons were so angry that they wanted to make a move. Li Shancai slapped them back one by one. Putting on a smiling face to Catcher Yan, he cupped his hands and said, "Captor Yan, I admit it. Please show me a way. If I can do it, I, Li, will never frown."

Yan Butou smoothed things over and said: "Boss Li is really a sensible person, and he will tell you clearly that the case of the Earth Temple is indeed related to your Li family, and the case is very strange, which has already alarmed Dongchang. If you don't cooperate well, wait for Dongchang. The bosses from the factory are not as polite as us when they come. As for what Duan Fei and Shi Bin did just now, you should know what happened. Now that the two sides have evened, shouldn't Boss Li still take it to heart? "

Hearing the word Dongchang, Mr. Li trembled in fright. His wealth and life were at stake, so he didn't care about these petty grievances. As if meeting her own father, Baiqing said honestly: "Master Yan, just tell me what you want me to do, the lives of hundreds of my family members are in your hands, Master Yan!"

Yan Butou opened the red envelope and took a look inside, put the red envelope in his arms with a cold expression, and said: "Could Boss Li be beating a beggar?"

Master Li was sweating profusely, worse than being kicked to the root of his life just now, he hastily apologized: "Yes, yes, yes, the little old man will prepare a generous gift right away, please accept it with a smile from Master Yan."

Only then did Catcher Yan show a satisfied smile, and said, "There's no need to rush to deal with the case, the brothers are all hungry, Boss Li, it's imperative that we bother you at home."

"It should be, it should be..." Master Li cursed in his stomach, but his face was full of joy, he urged the old butler whose face was half swollen to prepare wine and dishes, personally greeted Yan Bu to sit on the head, served tea and water, and was so busy Like a gray grandson.

A sumptuous dinner finally came to an end amid Master Li's diligent persuasion to eat and drink. Yan Butou burped, shaved his teeth and said to Master Li: "That day when your family held a banquet, the chef invited you from Helai Tower. Chef Tan?"

Mr. Li said: "Yes, yes, Chef Tan was originally invited, but he said that he had lost his knife and left in a huff. In the end, the old man had to invite two chefs over temporarily. Does it have anything to do with the Earth Temple case?"

Yan Butou said: "Well, now it has been found out that the set of knives he lost killed someone. He said that the knives were lost in your Li's house, so I have no choice but to come to your Li's house to find someone."

"He...he...he was talking nonsense, Ah Fu, you invited Master Tan that day, what happened?" Master Li asked, looking at the old butler who had been waiting on him.

Li Fu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master, I did bring Master Tan back in person that day, and he was indeed carrying a long leather bag when he came. After sending him into the kitchen, I went to do other things. , Who would have thought that soon there would be a quarrel in the kitchen. According to the cooks and servants at home, when Master Tan took out the knife, everyone admired the exquisiteness and sharpness of the knife. Seeing those knives again, Master Tan had a habit before doing things, he had to change his clothes and clean his hands first, and when he turned his back, the set of kitchen knives and the leather case were gone."

Duan Fei interrupted: "In other words, Master Tan's kitchen knife was indeed lost in your Li family."

"Yes...but there were so many people with mixed hands that day, maybe outsiders sneaked into the kitchen and stole the kitchen knife..." Li Fu argued.

Duan Fei sneered and said, "It's a joke, the Li family's kitchen is placed at the gate? How many turns and doors do you have to turn from the banquet hall to the kitchen? The kitchen is so big, and the servants come and go. Doesn't anyone know?" Did you see a stranger barge in? Are all the dogs in the family just for display?"

Li Fu was speechless, and severely arrested his head and said: "Call out the cooks, handymen, nurses, and servants who were helping in the kitchen that day, and anyone who is related to it, if there is one missing, I will arrest the murderer You, Li Fu, will take the blame alone! I believe Boss Li also supports it."

Li Fu thought hard for fear that there would be one missing person, so he announced the names one by one, and gradually the front hall was full of people, and when he couldn't count anyone anymore, Duan Fei suddenly asked: "Is there anyone after the wedding?" Please resign from the Li family."

Li Fu said in astonishment: "No, no one has left for half a year, but a lot of servants and maidservants have entered the family."

Duan Fei nodded, looked at Yan Butou, Yan Butou shouted: "Come up one by one, those who are outside are not allowed to whisper or make eye gestures, you guys go out and stare, anyone who tries to collude a confession, I will take it down on the spot , based on the murderer's accomplice theory."

Duan Fei closed his eyes and rested his mind. Yan Butou asked people to come up and ask them one by one according to the several questions Duan Fei gave. They were all very common questions. Who can confirm where he went that day and what suspicious things he saw? Man, did you see anyone in the kitchen?Wait, Duan Fei seemed to be asleep, he didn't even open his eyes until the last question, but Yan Butou asked so much that his mouth was parched and he drank several cups of fat sea.

Seeing nothing and nothing, Yan Butou looked back to see Duan Fei's leisurely appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, kicked him and said, "Duan Fei, what's the matter?"

Duan Fei opened his sleepy eyes with a bang, he looked around in a daze, and said in astonishment, "Have you finished asking?"

Duan Fei rubbed his eyes with a smile, and said: "Just kidding, I've been listening to it, so many people have the same problem, it's so boring... ..."

Duan Fei got up and stretched, Yan Butou really wanted to pinch his neck and force him to say something.

The owner of the house, Li Shancai, also hoped that Duan Fei could find out something, but under everyone's attention, Duan Fei said something that made everyone want to beat him up: "It's getting late, I've disturbed Boss Li for so long, I'm really sorry, I'll arrest the head strictly and tell the brothers to call it a day."

"This... this... what's going on?" Li Shancai was dumbfounded.

Duan Fei scratched his head, and said with a dry smile, "It's all right, nothing was found, and everyone in Boss Li's house is fine, we should go back to sleep."

Catcher Yan's face suddenly turned dark, Li Shancai's face turned purple, he suppressed his anger, and said: "Captor Yan, I will post and visit Mr. Min tomorrow morning, and ask him to give me an explanation! please!"

Master Li picked up the teacup in hand, and Li Fu, who was waiting on the side, immediately sang loudly: "Bring tea to the guests..."

Catcher Yan and the others left Li's house in despair, the red-painted door closed with a bang, and Catcher Yan just wanted to bombard Duan Fei, but this guy mysteriously put his index finger in front of his mouth, hissed, and immediately He took everyone to hide in the dark behind the corner of the street.

"What are you doing?" Yan Butou asked.

"Shh, blow out the lantern, you will understand after a while." Duan Fei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise from the gate of Li's house, the lantern was blown out, and everyone held their breath. The small door for people to enter and exit was half opened, and a person stretched out his head, looked around, and finally walked out.
