Chapter 45 Red Oil Copying Hands (2)

Zhang Zeduan was a big businessman in the silk business in the city, and he had a paunchy appearance. More than half of the ten fingers are covered with large emerald agate rings, not to mention decorative items such as the bead chain around the neck, the pearls on the shoes, and the jade on the hat. I put on these accessories wherever I could wear them, all over my body.

When Liu Yuan saw him for the first time, he felt like his eyes were blinded by the glittering golden light on his body.

Looking at Zhang Zeduan, who barely had the word "rich businessman" written on his face in front of him, Lin Fei asked: "Do you know Yan San?"

Zhang Zeduan's lips moved and he instinctively said "No...". Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the faces of Lin Fei and Liu Yuan, and he laughed twice and said: "I know, I know."

"How did you recognize him?" Lin Fei asked.

Seeing Zhang Zeduan roll his eyes, Liu Yuan didn't hesitate. He took out the note and waved it in front of him. Then he shrank his shoulders and said, "Same...same people."

"What kind of fellow?" Lin Fei continued to ask as if he didn't understand.

Zhang Zeduan's expression froze, and then he said: "It's just... uh, a little more romantic."

"The romance of robbing civilian girls?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but interject after hearing this.

Hearing this, Zhang Zeduan quickly looked at Lin Fei and saw that his expression was still calm, and then said: "No! I paid the money. Their family sold the person to me."

Liu Yuan glanced at Shang Feng and saw that Shang Feng did not stop him, so he continued: "You know why I sold it to you! Which of the girls you deliberately selected is not from a poor family?"

Zhang Zeduan secretly glanced at Lin Fei who pursed his lips and said nothing, and couldn't help but quibble: "We... we didn't force them to sell their girls!"

This is a conspiracy, an honest conspiracy. Even though we know they have done such things, we can't do anything to them. It's really hateful!

Looking at Zhang Zeduan's sophistry, Lin Fei didn't speak out again until now: "After Yan San, the deceased Duke of Huai'an County, and others picked these women, did they spend their days having fun on this boat?"

The famous young minister of Dali Temple suddenly spoke, startling Zhang Zeduan, and nodded instinctively.

After he came back to his senses and calmed down, he observed Lin Fei's face and said: "...Yes. Duke Huai'an is better. He is the one who makes the decision in his house. We... we are all a little bit uncomfortable." convenient."

As soon as Zhang Zeduan said it was inconvenient, Liu Yuan understood immediately.

Those few good children who are regarded as honest and well-behaved by their families; the polite and harmonious Yan San; and the Mr. Zhang in front of him who relies on his wife's family to gain power are indeed such people who usually have a good reputation. people.

"It's...not very convenient at home." Zhang Zeduan said, "It's easy to find places like brothels, but it's most convenient to be on a boat. It's just that when the family hears the news or something, they take advantage of the two boats meeting in the river. , just push the person to someone else's boat. No matter what, it's always convenient for Duke Huai'an."

Liu Yuan sneered when he heard this.

Zhang Zeduan flinched. Although it was Liu Yuan who was sneering, he still instinctively looked to Lin Fei aside.

Lin Fei looked at him and asked, "When Yan San's accident happened, were you having fun on your private boat?"

Zhang Zeduan nodded and said, "My maids can testify."

Lin Fei looked at Liu Yuan, who pointed outside and said, "Those maids have also been brought back." When he said this, the expression on his face was a bit complicated and subtle.

After the maid was brought in, Lin Fei knew where the complexity on Liu Yuan's face came from.

The maids and maids all looked pretty, and when they saw the two of them, they bowed and knelt down.

Because of the hot weather, several people were wearing summer-made chest-length skirts, and there was nothing special or out-of-the-ordinary about them. It's just that the summer clothes are cool, and a small part below the neck is exposed and visible at a glance. The criss-crossing scars, against the pretty faces of several people, looked inexplicably dazzling.

There were no injuries on the faces of several people, which showed that Zhang Zeduan still wanted to have more dignity, and being exposed in public was not considered a cruel act. One can imagine how the injury hidden in the clothes would be.

Seeing Lin Fei and Liu Yuan looking at the small wound below the maid's neck, Zhang Zeduan laughed a little guiltily and said: "This... these are just some preferences. I will change them in the future..."

"Change your identity!" Liu Yuan gave him a white look and sneered, "You are now the suspected murderer of Yan San. Let's clear the suspicion first!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zeduan waved his hands and said, "Why should I kill Yan San and the others?"

One of the maids kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, but immediately lowered it.

Although this reaction was so fast that people almost missed it, but for Liu Yuan and Lin Fei, who had been paying attention to the reactions of the maids on the ground, they naturally did not miss it.

Glancing at the handsome maid, Lin Fei asked them: "When Yan San was in trouble, was Zhang Zeduan with you?"

Several maids responded "Yes" in unison.

Lin Fei asked again: "What is he doing?"

Several maids said in unison: "I'm helping Mr. Lang's legs!"

Seeing such a unanimous reaction... Zhang Zeduan smiled happily and asked the two of them: "Two adults, does this prove my innocence?"

What he responded to was an angry shout from Liu Yuan: "Prove your mother's head? These four people responded like endorsements to prove her head!" He said and sneered, "I really rarely see a few people testify to this. They all responded in unison."

Everyone's speaking habits are different, just like they all ate fried dumplings in the morning, if Lin Shaoqing walked up to them and asked what they had for breakfast. Bai Zhuhui simply answered with two words "fried buns", Ji Caimai would probably say "fried buns made by Master Wen", and he would say "fried buns with pork filling made by Master Wen, which can be eaten with sauce." , I dipped it in vinegar and sesame oil.”

Although the reaction of the four people in unison cannot prove that Zhang Zeduan is definitely guilty, it certainly cannot be used as a witness.

"You are the master of the four of them, and you are threatening the four of them to give false testimony. How dare they not obey?" Liu Yuan said.

Zhang Zeduan's expression changed. When he was about to speak, Lin Fei suddenly pointed at one of the maids and asked, "Tell me, is there any conflict between Zhang Zeduan, Yan San and others?"

The maid shrank for a moment, but before she could say anything, Zhang Zeduan immediately shouted: "It's unfair! They and I are just the same thing, working together in cahoots. How can there be any conflict?"

He really even scolded himself to prove his innocence!

Liu Yuan sneered and saw the maid shivering and shaking her head. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Fei say: "Perjury for the murderer is considered an accessory. You will think about it later!"

The maidservant shrank even more after saying this. Just when Zhang Zeduan couldn't help but want to speak, the maid suddenly raised her voice and said: "Lang Jun...Lang Jun has had several arguments with Master Yan!"
