Chapter 48 A Woman of Skill and Wisdom
Li Hu still answered with a dull look in his eyes.
"About a mile west of the pier, there's a reef where they often throw people into the river."
After getting the correct answer, Peng Wang immediately ordered Zhang Qing to take all the officials to find the person.
At the same time, he also knew that He Zhiran must have something else to ask, so he was not in a hurry to leave with him.
He Zhiran continued to ask in front of Peng Wang.
"Why do you want to harm Zhou Laoba?"
"Only if he doesn't come back can we prove He's crime of running away."
"Why did you do that?"
"Because Li Rouer doesn't like the He family, I also want to take this opportunity to deal with the Mo family."
When asked this question, He Zhiran had already confirmed his guess.
Li Hu was definitely someone from the capital who had placed him here as a spy.
No wonder Mo Jiuye didn't notice anyone was following him...
Peng Wang knew that He Zhiran would later ask who instructed Li Hu to do this.
These were all dirty things between the superiors, and he, a small official, didn't want to get involved in them.
The more you know, the faster you die.
Therefore, before He Zhiran asked Li Hu the next question, Peng Wang turned and left the room.
He Zhiran secretly admired Peng Wang's clear mind, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to ask the next question.
"Who asked you to discipline the Mo family?"
"I have no idea."
"You don't know?" He Zhiran knew in his heart that Li Hu would not lie at this moment. If he said he didn't know, he definitely didn't know.
However, she finally got a clue and didn't want to give up.
"Don't you know who the person you're meeting is?"
"I've only seen the man who asked me to do this once. It was dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly. However, his voice was a bit high-pitched, so he must be a eunuch."
eunuch?
Only members of the royal family can command eunuchs.
Besides the Emperor, the princes, princesses, and the concubines in the harem could all...
If you think about it this way, the goal becomes quite big.
However, He Zhiran also knew that it was impossible for him to not get any useful information from Li Hu.
He Zhiran put the necklace into the space, then turned around and went out to find Peng Wang.
"Master Peng, I have finished asking all my questions. Li Hu will wake up soon."
Peng Wang was already a little anxious at this moment.
Even if he didn't hear He Zhiran's subsequent questions, he could guess that Li Hu was a man of some important figure above.
The fact that Li Hu murdered Zhou Laoba is clear, how will he deal with the following matters?
Logically speaking, Li Hu's crimes are so heinous that any punishment would be appropriate. But if he offends an important figure, can he still keep his head?
He Zhiran had just taken a few steps when he didn't hear Peng Wang enter the room.
She turned around and saw Peng Wang still standing there in a daze.
"Master Peng, it's true that Li Hu harmed people. It's best to let the government handle this matter."
He Zhiran's words can be said to have pointed out a clear path for Peng Wang.
Peng Wang nodded gratefully towards He Zhiran: "Okay, I understand."
This method is great. Not only can it punish Li Hu and avenge Zhou Lao Ba, but it also saves him from having to deal with Li Hu himself and anger the bigwigs above. It's really killing two birds with one stone.
At this time, Peng Wang admired He Zhiran even more. She was definitely a woman with both ability and wisdom.
He Zhiran knew that he would not stay in the inn for too long. From what Li Hu said, Zhou Laoba would be thrown into the river.
Zhou Laoba was a pretty good person, and she thought that if she could save him, she would do so.
However, before leaving, she had to reassure the Mo family and let them know that they were not in danger.
In addition, someone will need to receive the goods delivered by the grocery store and cloth shop.
The women of the Mo family were anxiously waiting for news from He Zhiran. When they saw her come back, they all surrounded her and asked about her well-being, as if they were afraid that she would suffer any harm.
For these simple-minded sisters-in-law, He Zhiran just told them that he was fine to reassure them.
When I got to Mo Jiuye's place, it was not easy to think of a few vague words to get away with it.
Ever since he heard the argument between He Zhiran and Li Hu at the door, Mo Jiuye has been standing by the door. Once He Zhiran suffers a loss, he will rush out to save him without hesitation.
Later, when he heard that Peng Wang had come forward and did not make things difficult for He Zhiran, his tense heart relaxed a little.
Now that He Zhiran has returned safely, he must get to the bottom of things before letting him go.
"Did you get anything useful from Li Hu just now?"
"After asking, we found out that he had someone kidnap Zhou Laoba and was going to drown him in the river.
There's someone behind Li Hu's actions, but it's a long story. I'll go save him first and tell you more when I come back."
When Mo Jiuye heard that she was going to save someone, even though he still had many doubts in his heart, he could only hold back his questions for the time being.
At this moment, he just secretly hated himself. On the surface, he was still a seriously injured and disabled person. Otherwise, he would never let He Zhiran face all this alone.
"In that case, please be careful."
Mo Jiuye turned around guiltily and no longer looked at He Zhiran.
He Zhiran didn't dare to waste time and followed Peng Wang to the location Li Hu said.
Peng Wang was also eager to save people at this moment, and even though he was still feeling a little uncomfortable, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment.
The two ran all the way and arrived at the designated location in about a quarter of an hour.
In addition to the officials, the place was also filled with people watching the fun.
Peng Wang pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed in, followed closely by He Zhiran.
Zhou Laoba was lying in the middle of the crowd, his eyes closed, and he looked like he was dead.
The officer had a sad expression on his face. Seeing Peng Wang coming over, Zhang Qing wiped his eyes and came up to him.
"Boss, Zhou Lao Ba...he...is dead."
Peng Wang had just seen Zhou Laoba's expression and had already guessed the answer in his heart.
It seems that they are still late.
He Zhiran didn't pay any attention to the officers feeling sad. He quickly came to Zhou Laoba and placed his fingers on the carotid artery in his neck, hoping to sense his vital signs.
An officer came over with red eyes.
"Heshi, we just checked, he's dead."
He Zhiran did not respond to the officer, but began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Zhou Laoba in front of everyone.
Her strange behavior caused sighs from people around her.
"What is this woman going to do?"
"Yeah, the person is already dead, why bother making trouble?"
"Look at her, how frivolous her actions are. She's really shameless."
He Zhiran didn't care what those people said at all. In her heart, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would not give up on the treatment.
Two minutes had passed and Zhou Laoba still had no reaction.
Although Peng Wang did not understand the principles of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he knew in his heart that He Zhiran was saving people.
However, seeing that Zhou Laoba was still motionless, he couldn't help but stepped forward and advised:
"Mr. He, since Old Eight is already dead, let him rest in peace!"
He Zhiran did not stop his actions because of Peng Wang's words.
Her next move shocked everyone again.
