Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 43
Ma Liu actually died. Chai Lin wanted to break his arm yesterday, but he couldn't find anyone. He didn't expect to die today, so he was a little surprised.

Ding, mission accomplished.

The worship value has increased by [-],

Chai Lin asked: "Many people die day and night these days, and the dead will let me go with you. You think too much."

Xue Du's head was robbed by Chai Lin and he was speechless, "You."

"What are you, Ma Liu is rampant in the countryside, where were you when he did all kinds of evil, where were you when he oppressed the good, and where were you when he robbed wives? It was you who indulged Ma Liu step by step. This road of no return, if you had taught him a lesson earlier, how could he have died suddenly." Chailin reprimanded.

Xue Du was speechless, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's that I can't take care of it."

Said that Xue Dutou was about to leave, Chai Lin said: "Wait a minute."

"What else can Master Chai do?" Xue Dutou asked.

Chai Lindao: "The owner of the village didn't come back until late after having a banquet with the magistrate last night. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of the shadow, so I will go with you. Chai Yong, prepare your horse."

Chai Lin rode on his big black cloud, and Chai Yong and more than a dozen other guards also rode horses.

Xue Dutou and the others came on foot and opened the way ahead. This scene seemed to be clearing the way for others, not like arresting someone quickly.

Maliu's family is located in Xiaoma Village, inside the south gate of the city. Since it is a village in the city, the streets are very tidy, with all green brick and tile houses.

An old foreman was busy when he saw Xue Dutou coming, he got up and cleaned his hands and said, "Toutou, the examination is over, the deceased drank a lot of alcohol, no trauma or signs of fighting were found on his body, there was river water in his lungs, he fell into the water and died."

Chailin looked at it and said, "Ma Liu is a drunk. The first thing he does when he is drunk is to go home and sleep with his wife. Drowning. I guess Ma Liu was hit on the head and thrown into the water."

Wu Zuo said, "But there is no external injury."

"Don't knock someone out very hard, and if there is a hat and hair separating them, the scars are not obvious, so you can check again." Chailin reminded.

Wu Zuo carefully inspected the back of Ma Liu's head again, and sure enough, he found traces of being struck with a stick.

Xue Dutou said: "Master Chai, you know so well, could it be that you sent someone to do it?"

Chai Lin said: "There are [-] or [-] people who want Ma Liu to die, but that doesn't include me. Chai Jiazhuang had a grudge with him just yesterday, and it was just a quarrel. I haven't wanted his yet." In other words, if I wanted to kill him, I would never give you any excuses. There is still a mass grave outside the city, and it has turned into dog dung by now."

Just at this time, another policeman came and whispered something next to Xue Dutou. Xue Dutou shook his hand impatiently and said, "Case closed."

"Then how to write the autopsy report." Wu Zuo asked.

"Drunk and drowned to death, leave, close the team." Xue Du took the lead to close the team.

Chai Lin didn't bother to pay attention to these things, so he closed the team and left.

On the way, Chai Yong asked: "Master, this is strange. If we didn't do it, then who did it? In this way, we and Hongtong Bank are in a life-and-death enmity."

Chai Lin said: "Lord Su is worried that I will go back on my word. This cut off my way out. Let's go back to the restaurant."

A group of people returned to the restaurant, and after a while, two woodcutters in sheepskin jackets and carrying poles went out from the back door of the restaurant.Who are these two woodcutters, Wu Song and Chai Lin.

It turned out that Chailin saw that the situation was getting more and more out of control, so he transferred Shi Qian and Xiongda and at the same time called Wu Song.Wu Song's big black horse was really fierce, with great running ability and good endurance. It drove more than 100 miles in two hours and arrived at Cangzhou Mansion.

Chai Yong was in charge of the safety of Zuixianlou and Pegasus, and Chai Lin and Wu Song went out with their shoulder poles to investigate the situation.

There is a market inside the east gate, where all kinds of small traders and laborers gather.Although it was noon, there were still more than 100 people waiting for work here.

Chai Lin and Wu Song squatted in a corner, basking in the sun while learning about the situation.

Anyone with good things came to ask Chailin, and said, "Look at you, you don't look like a coolie."

Chailin sighed, and said: "Who wants to do coolies? Last year, I was cheap and played for a while. I had no money, so I went to Hongtong Bank to borrow 50 taels of silver. It took more than half a year and I paid back 80 taels of silver." It’s not enough, and the family’s five mu of land was lost, and now that the northwest wind is gone, what do you say if I don’t come to work as a coolie.”

"Hey, another miserable person. Did you see that foreman? Everyone calls him the fourth child. It used to be that the family drove a carriage to pull goods for people. There were more than a dozen carriages, but now there is no one." The man said.

Wu Song said: "He also borrowed money from Hongtong Bank?"

"That's not true. At that time, I wanted to develop the car dealership and go to the bank for loans, but the car dealership was all given to them." The man said.

Wu Song shook his head and sighed: "Mother Hei Xin opened the door for Hei Xin, Hei Xin has arrived home."

Chai Lin was carrying a shoulder pole, and came over to answer, "Is it the fourth brother? I'm new here, and I'll be taken care of by you in the future. Are you free? My two brothers would like to treat you to dinner."

The fourth child said: "You two are physically fit and strong enough. You are both working hard, haha, it doesn't matter if you eat or not. Those who need to be taken care of will definitely take care of you."

Chai Lin said: "I just went bankrupt not long ago. I heard that Hongtong Bank was smashed yesterday, and Maliu drowned in the river again this morning. Let's have a meal together and discuss whether it is possible to black them out." We want our money back."

The fourth child was taken aback. He was so busy doing physical work recently that he didn't pay attention. The fourth child turned around and asked others, "Have you heard that something happened to Hongtong Bank?"

"Fourth brother, you don't know. What happened yesterday was done by Chai Lin, the owner of Chaijiazhuang. The scene was quite intense. It was said that the Chai official had disappeared. I think it's nonsense. Chai is a high-ranking official, and he is still a high-ranking official." The person next to him said that the spit was flying.

The fourth brother had a little hope in his heart. No one wanted to do odd jobs in this market for a lifetime, doing odd jobs for others every day. They were even inferior to tenants. At least tenants had land, and food and clothing were not a problem.

"Okay, let's go, the third brother will drink a pot." The fourth child said.

"Come on, there's a big car shop just outside the door. The food is delicious and clean." Chailin said.

Not far from the east gate, a group of people opened a new sheep soup restaurant, haggis stir-fry and so on.

It was not time for dinner, and there were very few people eating, and the guy was sitting on a stool looking around.

The three of them sat down in a quiet place.

Wu Song knocked on the table and said, "What are you looking at? There are no beautiful women. One plate of mutton, one plate of fried belly, another fennel bean, and two catties of wine."

"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer." Xiao Er came over to wipe the table with the towel on his shoulder, and then yelled at the back kitchen to serve the food.
