The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 12 Ruan Lang Returns (11)

I let out a long breath. It seems that Master Wu's family is the one who intentionally killed Ruan Lang. This may even lead to a major murder case more than ten years ago.I asked Luo Xiaoshan: "You said Master Wu's family killed Ruan Lang's father, do you have any evidence, or did you hear your mother mention it?"

Luo Xiaoshan said: "No, she never mentioned this matter in front of me, I just overheard her talking to the pair of scissors, and wept bitterly while talking, and then said that she would definitely avenge him."

I said: "This does not prove that Master Wu's family killed him."

Luo Xiaoshan said slowly: "I know what you mean, Ruan... the one surnamed Ruan and my mother... my mother is very good, and later she married the Luo family. It is also possible that the Luo family killed him, but The previous generation of the Luo family were all dead, but she still wanted to avenge him. It can be seen that the person who killed him must still be alive, and all the people who knew that the surname Ruan had been to Luolian Town, except my mother, Only Lord Wu's house is left."

From this point of view, the only one who can make Ruan Lang's father die unexpectedly is Master Wu's family, "But why did your mother refuse to tell him anything when Ruan Lang asked about his father's situation?" I said .

"A woman," Luo Xiaoshan said again with a mocking expression, "There is a man who has never married because of her, and has always been courteous to her for more than ten years, even attracting her attention through her son, no matter what kind of person Will you miss some old love? Besides, no matter what, murder is illegal and you have to pay for it with your life. She is so kind to Ruan, how can she bear to see his son pay for his life?"

When I heard it, I suddenly realized that all the problems were solved, but my feeling towards Master Wu's family was even worse, the ugliness of people's hearts can reach this level.I said to Luo Xiaoshan: "Don't worry, since you didn't do this, the town won't do anything to you."

To my surprise, he actually showed a smile when he heard this. I thought to myself that this is really rare, so I just heard him say indifferently: "Thank you."

I nodded and walked out, and when I told the mayor what Luo Xiaoshan said, he suddenly realized that everything had been explained, and he went to ask Mr. Wu's house some questions, and the matter became more certain.Master Wu's family still denied that it was harmful to Ruan Lang's mind, but admitted that it was because of Mrs. Luo that they never married, and asked him if he knew that Ruan Lang's father had come to Luolian Town more than ten years ago and had a relationship with Mrs. Luo. Relationship, he hesitated for a moment before admitting.

The mayor didn't care about Ruan Lang's father's untimely death more than ten years ago, and he couldn't pursue what happened more than ten years ago without evidence.The mayor just asked him if he knew that Ruan Lang's father died unexpectedly. He resolutely refused to admit this question, but insisted that Ruan Lang's father just passed by Luolian Town and left soon. Didn't die somewhere else, didn't have anything to do with anyone in town.

His reaction was expected, but I was a little surprised and asked him: "Why didn't anyone else know that Ruan Lang's father was in the town at that time? I asked the owner of the shop, and he must have been there more than ten years ago." There is no shopkeeper surnamed Ruan staying in his shop."

Master Wu's family said: "He didn't live in the shop at all, but lived in her home. Of course the shop owner didn't know. As for the others, do you remember the shopkeeper who passed by your house more than ten years ago?"

Only then did I know that Ruan Lang's father lived directly in Mrs. Luo's house at that time, no wonder the owner of the store was so sure that there was no such person.After asking about the matter, Mr. Wu smiled miserably and said, "You have already decided that I am the murderer, right?"

The mayor replied, "Unless you have something to say to prove your innocence."

Master Wu looked at him in a daze, but finally shook his head and said indifferently: "In this case, I have nothing to say." It can be seen that he really doesn't want to say anything more, which is tantamount to acquiescing that he is the murderer.Seeing him like this, we are naturally more sure that the dust has settled.

When I came to the yard, I saw Mrs. Luo coming. This was the first time she came to the town hall after Luo Xiaoshan was locked up. The mayor didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "Mrs. After going back, Shopkeeper Ruan can also take them away, but they can’t leave the town until they are sent to the county.”

Mrs. Luo had a strange expression on her face, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "He... he admitted it?"

The mayor said: "Almost, he said that since this is the case, he has nothing to say."

Mrs. Luo murmured: "He has nothing to say, he has nothing to say."

When we saw her lose her composure suddenly, we were very surprised and asked her what was wrong. Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "It's nothing, then I'll take the children back first."

The mayor nodded and told Xiangyong to open the door and let the two of them out.I looked at Mrs. Luo, but felt that her smile just now seemed to be similar to Master Wu's miserable smile. I thought in my heart that everything happened because of her, and now she has such a miserable smile. , is also reasonable.

Ruan Lang and Luo Xiaoshan came to the courtyard, but they came to talk to me and said, "Sir, will you come with me?"

I said: "The mayor has allowed me to stay at the town office, and I will be leaving in a few days. Since you are fine, don't make any more trouble, go back with your wife first." Thinking in my heart, although Luo Xiaoshan didn't follow him He said that Master Wu's family was the one who might have killed his father, but now that both of them have come out, they must have told him soon, and since Master Wu's family has been locked in, it is natural for him to take revenge There was no way to talk about it, so I didn't talk to him about it.

Ruan Lang nodded and asked me: "Do you know why Mr. Wu's family wanted to kill me? There is no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the present."

I said: "You go back with Madam first, he will tell you." As I spoke, I pointed at Luo Xiaoshan.Ruan Lang said to him: "You really know everything, but you won't tell me." Although there was complaint in his tone, there was still brotherly intimacy, it seemed that he really regarded Luo Xiaoshan as a brother.Luo Xiaoshan smiled at him, as if he also regarded him as a brother.

Mrs. Luo looked at the two of them with complicated expressions, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just came up to thank me, said a few polite words to the mayor, and led the two of them back.After the mayor and I watched them leave, the mayor invited me to sit in his room.After we sat down, he expressed emotion again, saying that there had never been a homicide in this small town, but once it happened, it was so complicated that the truth finally came to light, and he asked me when I planned to leave Luolian Town.

According to my point of view, since the truth of this matter has been revealed, I will leave now. I have stayed in the town for several days, and I still have to send the letters from home. Naturally, the sooner the better.However, the mayor refused to let me leave. He insisted that I stay for half a day and wait until the evening to practice for me before letting me go the next morning.I was reluctant but kind, so I thanked him and went back to my room to pack my things.

In the evening, the mayor really entertained me with a feast, during the banquet he frequently persuaded me to drink, I was so drunk that I blushed, and quickly declared to him that I would have to get up early tomorrow, so I didn’t dare to be greedy and miss the itinerary, so he stopped drinking.I asked him when he would send people to the county. He said that since the matter had been investigated, it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If it happened, he could come out of the mountain with me.After talking about some irrelevant things during the dinner, I thanked him and went back to the room feeling a little drunk. I was about to go to sleep, but then I thought that tomorrow I would get up early and leave early, and I would go to talk to him at night. Ruan Lang said no, put down the book he was holding to read, and walked out of the courtyard of the town office.

When I came to the Luo family mansion, it was Mrs. Luo who opened the door for me. Ruan Lang and Luo Xiaoshan were sitting in the main room, talking and laughing. When I walked in, I heard Luo Xiaoshan say: Do you still want to be a human being?” Ruan Lang was out of breath laughing, and when he saw me walk in, he immediately shouted happily: “Mr. is here, come and listen to his jokes, it’s really funny Broken intestines."

I smiled and said, "What is so funny, I want to hear it."

When Luo Xiaoshan saw me walking in, he looked extremely pale because of the dim light. He smiled and said to Ruan Lang, "Don't tell me a vulgar joke."

Ruan Lang opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile, "It's not vulgar or vulgar, it's very funny." Then he started talking to me, and it turned out that when the two of them were joking, Ruan Lang said that Luo Xiaoshan was the master, To do the best for the landlord, invite him to have a good meal outside, but Luo Xiaoshan said that Ruan Lang is old, so it should be Ruan Lang who invited him.Ruan Lang said with a smile, he was so poor that he dangled all over, but he had no spare money to treat him to dinner, Luo Xiaoshan mocked him, he didn't want to pull anything out, and he still wanted to be a human being.And told him a joke, which went like this:
After a monkey died, he saw the King of Hades, and he didn't want to be a monkey anymore, so he asked to be transformed into a human. The King of Hades said that if he wanted to be a human, he had to pull out all the hairs on his body.As he said that, he ordered Yasha to do it, and just plucked out one hair. The monkey was in unbearable pain and screamed loudly. The King of Hades smiled and said, "Seeing that you can't pluck out a hair, you still want to be a human!"
This joke satirizes the miser, so it can be said that it is not spicy. I smiled and said: "This is really funny. Ruan Lang, if you want to be a human being, you may not be able to escape this meal."

Ruan Lang laughed, and Luo Xiaoshan's mother and son also laughed. Ruan Lang asked me in the laughter, "Sir, when are you leaving?"

I smiled and said: "I was just about to tell you that there is nothing else going on here, I am leaving tomorrow, and I am here to say goodbye to you tonight."

Ruan Lang said reluctantly, "Why don't you stay for a few more days, sir, I...I..."

Luo Xiaoshan also said: "Yes, sir, why don't you stay a few more days."

I looked at him and said, "You are going to enter the county in one or two days. If the time is right, you may come out of the mountain with me. I have nothing to do if I stay longer, so let's go in the morning. If you don't enter tomorrow County, I will leave first, and I will not come to say goodbye again."

What Ruan Lang wanted to say, I raised my hand to stop him, turned to Mrs. Luo and said, "Ma'am, I'm leaving tomorrow, I have a question I'm really curious about, so I want to ask it outright, please don't take offense, Madam, if Madam doesn't want to answer, Just don't answer."

Seeing me suddenly mentioning this, both Ruan Lang and Luo Xiaoshan were surprised, and Mrs. Luo's face became serious, and said lightly: "Sir, please tell me."

I looked at her and said, "Madam, did Ruan Lang's father really die by accident?" I asked her this question before, and now I asked her again, she looked at me without knowing why, and said, "Mr. Why are you asking this again?"

I emphasized my tone and said: "Madam, please answer me truthfully. If you feel uncomfortable answering, you don't have to answer."

Mrs. Luo's eyes became obviously flustered, but she still said, "Yes."

Ruan Lang excitedly said: "Is that because Master Wu's family harmed him?"

Mrs. Luo said: "About this issue, I still won't tell you anything." Although she said so, to our ears, it was no different from acquiescence.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ruan Lang: "Since Master Wu's family has been locked up, they will enter the county soon, and you can't escape by killing someone, so you don't have to think about how to avenge your father anymore. "

Ruan Lang nodded and said: "Since he can't escape death, I naturally don't need to seek revenge from him."

I said: "That's good, it's okay, I'll go back first, I still have things to tidy up, and I have to go early tomorrow." Ruan Lang wanted to take me back to the town hall, but I declined, so he sent me to the door, I waved to him, turned and walked away.When I walked to the gate of the town office, Xiang Yong, who was guarding the gate, greeted me: "Mr. is back."

I smiled at him and said, "I'm not going back yet, I have something to do, and I'll be back soon." Then I turned around and walked towards the owner of the shop.The owner of the store was very surprised to see that I came to his store so late. I smiled and greeted him a few words, saying that I would leave in a day or two, and thanked the owner for taking care of me these few days.The owner of the store hastily said that he is waiting for Mr.

I said to him: "I have a heartless request, please accept the owner."

I said: "I have been staying at the town hall for the past few days, and I have been treated by the mayor. I am very grateful. I saw that there are a lot of mice in the town hall. I am really tired of climbing into the bed in the middle of the night. I want to ask the owner to clean the shop. Lend me my cat for two days to exterminate rats in the town hall, and the mayor will naturally return the cat after two days."

The owner of the shop smiled and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. It's a lazy cat. The husband just takes it away. I wish the mayor wouldn't return it. It saves a lot of cat food."

I thanked the owner of the store, and went to hug the tabby cat. Because I lived in the store for a few days, the cat was no stranger to me, and let me pick it up, and even snored comfortably.I hugged it and walked out of the store. Although it is spring now, the small town in the mountains is still cold. I couldn't help but hug the cat tightly in my arms to keep warm.After walking a few steps quickly, he returned to the town hall, and went straight to the mayor's room.

Seeing a cat in my arms, the mayor was surprised and surprised, and said, "Sir, where did you get the cat? Are you taking it on the road?"

I smiled at him and said, "Mayor, I won't leave tomorrow."
