After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 274

  Chapter 274 Please have a full meal

  The child hesitated: "I recognize Mr. Hong, he told us not to be afraid."

   "Hong Chenglue?"

   "He lives in Yushu Alley, only the gate of his house is not blessed."

  This news was beyond He Lingchuan's expectation: "You mean, he originally lived in Bailu Town?"

  The child nodded.

"What does he do?"

   "Teaching in a private school." The child took the second candy and started to eat it. "My father said that we have no money and cannot find Mr. Hong."

  The murderous general lives in seclusion in a small town, but he only works as a teacher?

  The child went to Lingguang to get the candy again, and ate the candy too quickly, belching twice in a row.

  Ling Guang suddenly turned his head sideways.

   At this moment, a man turned out of the corner of the alley. He was shocked when he saw the child talking with He Lingchuan, and rushed over to hug the boy: "What are you doing!"

   "The grain transportation team was attacked, let's find some clues." He Lingchuan spread his hands, with a piece of broken silver lying on his palm, "This is the reward."

  The silver was reflected in the man's eyes, even glowing. But the greedy look on his face flashed, and he shook his head: "I hid at home when I heard the shouts of killing, and I didn't know anything!"

   "Oh?" He Lingchuan wondered, "Did Hong Chenglue tell you anything?"

  Hearing this name, the corner of the man's mouth twitched: "No!"

  He Lingchuan exhaled, and suddenly grabbed the child with his hands!

  The man yelled: "What are you doing..."

   Before the "what" came out, there was a glimmer of light in front of his eyes, and the ingot of broken silver was stuffed into his mouth, and the rest of the words were interrupted.

  The kid just realized it, and was about to make a fuss when He Lingchuan flicked his temple, and he lost consciousness.

   As soon as the man spit out the broken silver, He Lingchuan had already put the child on the ground, grabbed the man's neck with one hand and pressed it against the wall: "Do you want to toast?"

  He Lingchuan was taller than him, and this pinch made his legs leave the ground. "If you answer honestly, you will be safe and well, and you will still have money; if you dare to lie, you and your father will die, understand?"

  The man was pinched and couldn't breathe and couldn't break free, so he nodded repeatedly.

  He Lingchuan let go of him and asked: "Your son said that Hong Chenglue lives in Bailu Town. When did he move here, what does he usually do, what happened a few days ago, tell me!"

  The man rubbed his throat and coughed several times:

"The couple moved to Bailu Town three years ago. They are very nice people. I don't know what they did for a living, but Mr. Hong ran a private school in the town. You know we are poor here, we can't even afford food, so we still study. , so he doesn't have two children in his school, so he can't charge much. Mr. Hong still works in the rice store at the end of the street. He can carry seven bags of rice at a time, and he is very strong! Sometimes he also does part-time work for others to subsidize the family. .Recently, the flames of war in the north have been raging south, two big families in our town have fled, and Mr. Hong has no students."

   "Couple?" He Lingchuan grasped the key point, "Where's his wife?"

   "His wife is named Ah Jin, and she is paralyzed. She could stand up and walk two steps while supporting the wall in the first year after arriving here, but she was completely paralyzed later. Mr. Hong always buys medicine for her, and his house smells like medicine all year round!"

   "Why are you paralyzed?"

   "I heard that the birth of a son was not good. If the son is gone, the person is also bad."

   "Since you are a teacher, why did you become a robber?"

   "I don't know. Suddenly several officials died in his house. When the officials found out, the couple disappeared. The officials checked everywhere, but no one knew."

  He Lingchuan passed another ingot of broken silver. That day before, after the man got it out of his throat, he hid it quietly.

One ingot is harvested, and two ingots are also harvested, and the townsman's mouth is not so strict: "But I remembered one thing: before Mr. Hong disappeared, You Yan had just dealt with the three of Liu Yalin for stealing military rations. The child used to be a student of Mr. Hong and studied with him for half a year."

   "Stealing military rations?" He Lingchuan's expression changed. That's right, it seems that a food transport team did pass through Bailu Town a few days ago. "How to deal with this crime?"

   "The Frectification is done on the spot, there is no need to play it." The townsman shuddered, "I heard that beheading would be enough, but You Yu asked the executioner to cut off Liu Yalin's limbs first, and then beheaded."

  He Lingchuan rolled his eyes: "Where is this Yu Yan?"

   "No, I don't know wow." I don't care, and it's better not to show up.

  He didn't say the last two sentences, but He Lingchuan understood it from his eyes.

   "Hong Chenglue brought people back to the town, killed officers and soldiers and robbed the army food. Didn't he talk to you?"

"No..." The townspeople instinctively wanted to deny it, but it was obvious that He Lingchuan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, which made him feel cold, and the conversation changed, "When he, they killed officers and soldiers, we had no choice but to hide. Later, outside There was no sound, those Xunzhou people searched us out one by one to gather, we were surprised to see Hong and Mr. Hong. But he told us not to panic, they will leave soon and will not harm us."

   "It's that simple?" He Lingchuan smiled, the castrated version didn't sound right, "They leave whenever they want, why should they tell you all?"

"He, they still murdered people in the town. There are two big families in the east of the town, both surnamed Liu. One is in the grain and oil business, and the other is a **** shop. Mr. Hong said that these two families colluded with the government in Yurou Township, and they were... Let us vent your anger after Frectification."

   "Being so kind to you?" This guy probably doesn't know that he speaks the truth fluently, but stutters when he tells lies?

   "Mr. Hong said that he thought it was because of our fellow countrymen."

  At this moment, there was a flash of figures at the entrance of the alley, and it turned out that Mao Tao and Shan Youjun had rushed back.

Mao Tao reported to He Lingchuan: "I went to the steamed bun shop to ask questions, and the noodle maker didn't know anything. Later, when I saw no one was there, I gave him a little bit of trouble. He said that after Hong Chenglue killed and ran away the officers and soldiers last night, They shared some food. Let me tell you, he himself is in rags and looks like he would collapse in the wind, why there are two big bags full of good food under the chopping board!"

  Shan Youjun said: "The people of Xunzhou called all the townspeople to the open space at the entrance of the town last night. I took a look, and there were traces of pots buried there, and there were still unburned branches and charcoal on the ground."

   "Pot?" He Lingchuan turned to the townspeople, "Has Hong Chenglue treated you to dinner?"

   "No, no!" The townspeople almost shook their heads, "It's none of our business for them to eat!"

Medicine Ape Lingguang stayed on He Lingchuan's shoulder all the time, and suddenly interrupted: "Just now the child hiccupped and had a sour smell. I think his belly is a little distended. It should be because he hasn't eaten meat for a long time. He suddenly ate a lot of food, especially meat. Causes bruising that is hard to get rid of."

   "Eating a lot of meat?" He Lingchuan glanced at the sleeping child, and a strange thought came to him, could it be?

   "You just said that Hong Chenglue and the Xunzhou people took two families named Liu to the open space and killed them. Then?" He Lingchuan stared at him and asked, "Where are the bodies of these people?"

  The faces of the townspeople turned pale, and they couldn't speak.

  Shan Youjun grabbed his collar, a short knife appeared out of nowhere, pointed at his eyeballs: "What did you have for supper last night, tell me!"

   "We were also forced. They said that Liu's fish meat township has been in the fish meat town for many years, so it should become our fish meat! So, so everyone is forced to eat it!"

   "How dare I?" The man actually burst into tears, "I took a small bite, and turned around and vomited."

  The children in his family are ignorant, and they will gobble up the meat when they smell it. Those Xunzhou people are also vicious, and the children will give it if they want it.

  He Lingchuan looked at him: "Do these two households surnamed Liu have a little bit of trouble with Hong Cheng?"

   "It should be, isn't it." The townsman thought for a while, "The Liu family runs a **** shop, and the **** price is very low. Sometimes they can collect enough money to redeem it but can't get it back. There are many dirty things... His family is not a good person."

   "It seems that Hong Chenglue has also suffered a lot in his family." He Lingchuan frowned, "Why do such people swallow their anger in the town?"

   This weird feeling, as if he condescends to work as a handyman at the house of Liu Baobao, a businessman in Heishui City, and he has been doing it for several years, how is it possible!

"I do not know."

  Shan Youjun let go of him, and He Lingchuan threw another piece of silver at him: "Don't talk about it, at least wait until we leave the town."

  The next four people rushed to Hong Chenglue's residence.

  The dilapidated sight seen along the way, most of the townspeople were sallow and emaciated, with indifferent eyes, and even facing Xiazhou officers and soldiers like He Lingchuan, they only had not-so-disguised vigilance and disgust.

  Even if there were no Xunzhou people raging, this place would be poor enough.

  He Lingchuan passed by the entrance of the town, where he found the traces of the stone piled up by Shan Youjun, and a high platform raised from a wooden frame.

   There was still blood in the seams of the board, and it was all black, but with He Lingchuan's sense of smell, he could still smell the blood.

  This kind of place and this kind of platform are generally used for public executions to set the sight straight.

  He Lingchuan suddenly remembered that Hong Chenglue's students were beheaded here for stealing military rations. As a result, within a few days, his teacher also attacked the military rations, not stealing them, but robbing them openly.

  Why did Hong Chenglue distribute the food to the townspeople?

  In addition to pleasing people, is there a little mercy? After all, he had lived here too, and suffered from it.

  Then he forced the townspeople to eat meat, or the meat of two big families in the town, is he trying to vent his anger on himself, or the townspeople?

  He Lingchuan thought about these questions, and soon found Hong Chenglue's home.

  This alley is uneven even on the ground, and the cracks in the walls are covered with mildew and moss. It is not long, but accommodates at least a dozen families.

   "It seems to be this household."

   "Squeak", He Lingchuan pushed the door open, and there was only a small courtyard and two low bungalows inside.

   This area is only a little larger than his wooden house in Panlong City, at least the yard is eleven or twelve square meters. Several wooden shelves and two empty jars were knocked down in the yard, and there were still black blood stains on the ground.

  The room is not big, and the four of them met after walking around. Mao Tao sighed:

   "Mr. Hong is really poor."

  The general of the Bega Kingdom lives in seclusion here, and it can only be described as a barren house.

  The bedroom has only one bed and one low cabinet.

  Shan Youjun said: "The kitchen is as empty as if it has been washed, there are no pots and pans, but there are traces of perennial fire in the stove, which is not normal."

   I have something to do today, the update has been delayed a bit, I would like to say sorry to everyone.
