Chapter 419 Turning Down the Cliff



"Uncle Mu, is there any movement there recently?" Chu Ci stayed in Zhangzhou Mansion for two days. After handling the official documents of the government office, he came to Fuzhou Mansion, which is the capital city of Southern Fujian Province.

Mu Yuanxiu put down the book and shook his head.

"In the past two days, my people have basically followed Lin Futong at every step. I don't know if he has noticed it or what. He has behaved in the past two days. Who have you been in touch with?"

"Then is there any news from Butler Zhao? With a huge reward, everyone is probably looking for their traces these days. They should find something." Chu Ci felt that they should not have left Nanmin Province. , He didn't even leave Fuzhou Prefecture.

Speaking of this, Mu Yuanxiu's face changed a little.

"Didn't Steward Zhao disappear that day? Before he disappeared, a worker in the saltworks once saw him chatting with a person hiding in a hidden place. He also described the appearance of that person. I have to ask you to draw a picture." Mu Yuanxiu said, and then continued to tell Chu Ci what he had discovered in the past few days.

"Shortly after the chat, Steward Zhao disappeared. According to the fishermen nearby, they saw a carriage coming out of the salt field and heading towards the mountain. According to what they said, my people Looking for the direction, I found a rut print near a mud pit, but unfortunately there is a mountain in front, and the fallen leaves are piled up, so I can't identify the direction they are going. Now, I have sent more people to search, I hope there is still time. "

Mu Yuanxiu sighed, and Chu Ci's expression was a little heavy.Taking people directly into the mountains, it seemed that Lin Futong hadn't struggled at all. He must have never planned to stay alive from the very beginning.Poor Steward Zhao, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a blessing when his death is imminent. I don't know if he regretted it when he was killed.

Since the physical evidence was stolen, the witnesses may also have been killed.Could it be that Lin Futong is really so lucky?Is God destined to let him get away with it?

"My lord! I found him!" At this moment, Mu Yuanxiu's personal subordinate ran in from outside with a face full of excitement.

"What?!" Mu Yuanxiu suddenly stood up from his seat, "I really found it. Is the person still alive? How did you find it?"

"I really found it! The family members surnamed Zhao are all dead, but he is still alive. The subordinates searched for a long time in the dense forest, and finally found a 40-meter cliff on the north side of the dense forest. Near the cliff There was a rag piece of cloth, which seemed to be torn from the body. We compared it and found that this cloth was the clothes worn by workers in the saltworks. When we went to the bottom of the cliff, we found a carriage turned over, which was strange. The horse corpse was missing, but there were three female corpses in the carriage, which were almost the same as those in the portrait. We were sure that those who fell off the cliff must be Zhao’s butler family. We searched around the carriage for a long time before we found A man surnamed Zhao who had passed out was found under a big tree."

"Great!" Mu Yuanxiu couldn't hide his excitement. Just now he and Chu Ci were still worried about the killing of witnesses. Now there is good news. It seems that Lin Futong will be brought to justice soon. .

"Have you invited a doctor for Butler Zhao? I'm only worried that if he falls from such a high cliff, even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured," Chu Ci reminded.

"Yes, did you call for a doctor?"

The subordinate looked a little embarrassed. They were so excited after finding someone, they only wanted to bring him back here, but they didn't expect to ask a doctor to treat him.

"Hurry up and invite the doctor over, as soon as he wakes up, the matter will come to light!" Mu Yuanxiu ordered.

"When inviting a doctor, it's best to invite the doctor with great fanfare. Let the people in the city know that he has been arrested, so that the people will not go looking for it again." Chu Ci said.

Mu Yuanxiu went through it in his mind, and then he understood the meaning of Chu Ci's words: "Bring a few more people, and invite a few more doctors. If anyone is curious, just be blunt."

"Yes!"

After the subordinate left, Mu Yuanxiu looked at Chu Ci: "Nephew, do you think Lin Futong will jump over the wall because of this?"

"It's hard to say, but he will definitely take action. I guess he will be very upset when he hears the news." Chu Ci smiled, and then said, "Uncle Mu, where is the statement from the fisherman? During this period of time, I can first draw the portrait of the person who had a secret conversation with Butler Zhao, and I can use it to identify the person who Butler Zhao wakes up."

Mu Yuanxiu nodded, and took Chu Ci to get a statement.On the other hand, the subordinate did as the two ordered. Not only did he invite the doctor with great fanfare, but he also told everyone that the official slave on the notice had been found, so that the common people should not go out every day.

After the common people heard about this, on the one hand they regretted their bad luck, on the other hand they wanted to know how did the official slave who attracted so many people's attention be found?

The subordinate explained the process of finding him in detail, emphasizing that when they found Steward Zhao, he was still alive.

The common people were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help feeling that Steward Zhao's luck was bad. Who would have thought that he would turn over the cliff when he was doing well?
