Chapter 90: White Bones in the Sun (32)
The man dressed in a delicate scholarly manner, lowered his head slightly, unable to see his face clearly. When he heard Long Xingtu’s questioning, his arms supporting the ground trembled slightly. He stammered his lips and made a timid voice: "Yes, Caomin Daiyu, I have seen Master Long!"
Long Xingtu narrowed his eyes, "You seem to be scared?"
"No, no, the grass-roots people are just..." Dai Yuchi hesitated for a moment before he said, "I'm just worried that my grandfather is old and cannot bear it."
Hearing, Long Xingtu raised his chin and said, "Get up and talk."
"Master Xie Long!" Dai Yu stood up, his head lowered, and his hands crossed in front of him. His body, which was neither fat nor thin, was still stiff.
Long Xingtu said: "Young Master Dai doesn't have to be restrained. I am just doing routine work and interrogating, not convicting someone."
Dai Yu looked up, but saw that he had a pretty face and a bookish temperament, but he was only five feet tall and slightly low.
The Dragon Star Map looked at it quietly and said without a trace: "The old patriarch has not lost his personal freedom, but he can't leave the ancestral temple for a few days. I will not interfere in terms of food and clothing. Please relax your mind on behalf of the young master."
"Yes, the grass people are too worried, thank you Master Long." Dai Yuqian said politely.
Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, "When you look at the words and deeds of the young master, you must have read a book?"
"Yes, Cao Min has been studying since he was four years old."
"Have you ever won the exam?"
"The people of the grass are not talented and have failed many tests, which is really ashamed!"
"Oh." Long Xingtu nodded and got to the point, "What else did you do in addition to delivering menus when you came to the ancestral temple this afternoon?"
Dai Yu said without hesitation: "After the Caomin delivered the menu, he hurried home and did nothing else."
"What's wrong at home?"
"Neizi is ill in bed and needs the care of Cao people."
"So that's the case. Can anyone prove it?"
"When Cao Min Shen arrived at the ancestral temple at three o'clock, Xiao Wuzi was unloading firewood in the yard. We greeted each other, and then Cao Min went to the kitchen to find the manager. The two aunts who were cooking were present, and Cao Min left."
Hearing this, the Dragon Star Map looked at Xiao Wuzi, "Is it true?"
"Yes, it's true." Fat Xiaowu replied.
Long Xingtu asked: "Have you ever entered the kitchen?"
"Caomin did not go to the kitchen. After Caomin unloaded the firewood, he rushed to pick up the firewood again, hoping to prepare a few more days of firewood to avoid sudden rain." Fatty little girl is not young, with a silly expression and very sincere in her words.
Long Xingtu nodded, "Xiao Liuzi, where are you?"
"Master Long, Cao Min entered the kitchen and poured the water back into the water tank, but Cao Min didn't do anything bad!" Skinny Xiaoliu hurriedly decided.
"Did anyone see it?"
"Yes, the old lady who cooks is here."
Long Xingtu looked at the remaining two people. They were responsible for transporting food, fruits and vegetables to the ancestral temple for middle-aged couples. Seeing this, they shouted, "The people are the only ones, how dare they have any bad ideas about the officials? After we unload the goods, the manager counted them, and we left."
The others agreed, "Yes, Master Long, we are all law-abiding people. We have no sweating pills and dare not do bad things!"
Long Xingtu thought for a moment and said, "Touch out your hands!"
The five people were puzzled, but no one dared to ask more questions. They spread their palms and reached in front of Longxing Map. They looked at each other one, frowned slightly invisible between their eyebrows, but she only said, "You can go back."
The five people were delighted, "Thank you Master Long!"
