Chapter 3 Tao Yuan's Listening Case
The next day, Lord Deng entertained Tao Yuan again and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Tao Yuan said, "From the perspective of the poisoning of villagers in the small fishing village, it may be related to this Bishui Lake. I'm going to visit Bishui Lake tonight to see if there is anything I find."
Lord Deng asked, "Is this clear water lake a dangerous place?"
Tao: "Bishui Lake is named because its lake is green. There is an island in the center of the lake called 'Pansheling'. There are five village owners in Pansheling. They are very good, not idle people."
"Who are the five village owners? How could even the virtuous brother say so?"
Tao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother, they are also famous figures in the world. Listen to me: the owner of the village is always blind, and he is nicknamed 'eight steps to fly on the grass'. His name is Zhang Zongwu, with a three-pointedged and two-edged knife in his hand, which oppresses the heroes; the owner of the second village is nicknamed 'three-headed monster', named Li Bingde, good at beating poison darts; the owner of the three villages, nicknamed 'Golden Hammer General', named Zhao Mingliang, with a strong hammer; the owner of the four villages, nicknamed 'Live Monkey', named Zhong Xiaoxiao, who is also a military teacher in the village; the owner of the five villages, nicknamed 'Little Butterfly', named Ouyang Hua, a person has a bad reputation in the world. "
Before Tao Yuan finished speaking, he heard someone beating drums in front of the government office. Lord Deng quickly asked what had happened on both sides. After a while, someone reported that an old man was crying and beating drums in front of the door. Lord Deng did not dare to neglect him and immediately went to the hall. Tao Yuan also entered the lobby and stood behind the adults.
Lord Deng was shocked and patted, "The person who beats the drums will stay in the hall," and the two classes of government officials are "mighty",
"The man with the drummer went to the court..."
In a short time, a person stepped up from the hall: five feet tall, about 50 years old, scattered hair, wrinkled face, slightly hunchback, staggering.
The old man came to the hall and knelt down on his knees: "Your Excellency, the little man came to report the case." The old man cried and said. Lord Deng quickly stood up and came to this place with his hands together.
"Old man, get up and talk. What's wrong with you? Tell me, speak slowly, don't worry, come and see the old man."
The old man was flattered. An old man who reported the case was like this. The old man hurriedly thanked the old man and sat on the chair trembling. Master Liu brought the old man a glass of water. After the old man drank the water, Lord Deng asked, "Old man, what's the matter? Take your time."
The old man wiped his tears: "Your Excellency Rong Bing, the little old son lives in Xiaoliu Village in the south of the city. There is a family of three. My wife also has a 19-year-old daughter. Although our family is not rich, it is still reasonable. However, after we had dinner together the night the day before yesterday, our daughter returned to the room to sleep. As usual, I went back to rest. The next morning, I found that my daughter was missing. At first, we didn't feel anything, but the girl didn't come back at night. We went out to find someone for a long time, but we couldn't find it. We asked all the villagers and said that they didn't see our Xiaolian. Later, we came to the little girl's In the room, let's see if there are any clues. We found a handkerchief embroidered with purple butterflies in the little girl's **. We have no choice but to come to report to the official. My lord, we have to make the decision for the villain!"
The old man cried again, and Lord Deng locked his eyebrows. It was really strange that a good girl disappeared overnight. Suddenly, he remembered the handkerchief: "Old man, where is that handkerchief now?"
"It's on the little man." Bring it to me!"
Lord Deng took the handkerchief and looked carefully. It turned out to be a white silk handkerchief embroidered with purple butterflies, but the repeated inspection did not find any clues.
At this moment, Tao Yuan, standing behind the big man, came over: "Brother, let me have a look."
Tao Yuan took the handkerchief and took a closer look. He couldn't help but be shocked. He frowned and said, "Brother, I think this handkerchief must have some origin, which reminds me of Ouyang Hua, the owner of the five villages in the Snake Ridge of Bishui Lake."
"Oh, but why?"
Taoyuan said, "This Ouyanghua has a bad reputation in the world. I heard that he often picks flowers and steals willows, and his nickname is Little Butterfly, so I thought of him."
Lord Deng said, "We don't have conclusive evidence, and we can't make a conclusion casually. We can't act rashly."
Tao Yuan took a few steps forward: "Brother, anyway, I'm going to Pansheling tonight to find out if Miss Xiaolian has been swept into the village."
"Brother, you go alone. Brother Fool can't worry, so you'd better take some people with you."
Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry too much. I'm also used to being alone. Besides, many people have big goals and are easy to be found. In addition, it's also convenient for me to be alone."
Zhang Zhao came over and said, "Your excellency, don't worry. Tao Daxia's martial arts skills are strong, and there is absolutely no danger. Even if there is danger, he can turn bad luck into good luck."
As soon as Lord Deng heard this, he didn't say anything. He turned around and said to the old man, "Old man, we have accepted your case. We will file the case immediately. You can wait for our news at home."
The old man thanked the adult, and two officials sent him home for the time being;
Lord Deng and Tao Yuan came to the back hall: "Brother, you must be more careful when you go this time. Brother Yu is waiting for your good news!"
