Chapter 89: Not My Poison

  Bai Lao Si and Tian Luo were caught, while the spider web did not miss the opportunity to escape. He ran very fast when he escaped, making people very surprised. His fat body was able to run so quickly, just like a fast-moving fat ball.

  The yamen runners saw Bai Laosi and Tian Luo being led into the great prison, where they would wait for Bao Daizhan's interrogation.

  At this time, Bao Gong and Hualang were all waiting for Luo Wu's decision.

  Now that the people of Langgu have discovered Luo Wu, they will not let him off easily. So it's up to Luo Wu whether he wants to stay in the county government for his life or continue living a fugitive life.

  Lu Wu was also in a dilemma, going out again to make a name for himself in the jianghu world and living every day with anxiety?

  He has spent three years in such days, and in these three years, he has not had a single peaceful day. He really doesn't want to spend this kind of day anymore. However, if he stays at the county government office, it will inevitably bring trouble to Bao Zheng and others. Although the people of Wolf Valley do not dare to kill the officials of the imperial court indiscriminately, they may still cause some trouble or assassination.

  After some thought, Luo Wu looked at Bao Quan and the others with a faint smile: "I've already gotten used to drifting around everywhere, staying in one place is too humiliating for me, so I've decided to leave."

  After hearing Luo Wu's words, the crowd would not understand his meaning. If they could live in peace, who would be used to drifting? He did this just because he didn't want to implicate the county government.

  Seeing Luo Wu's mind was made up, Bao Zheng and others had no choice but to let him go.

  Luo Wu left when it was almost dusk. His figure in the eyes of everyone suddenly became tall and majestic, accompanied by the warm sunset glow.

  After seeing Luo Wu off, Bao Zheng and others immediately held a public trial.

  Two bailiffs saw White Fourth being led over, his body bound with iron chains. No matter how cunning and vicious he was, he couldn't escape. After White Fourth knelt down, Bao Zheng immediately rebuked him: "White Fourth, quickly confess the truth about killing Wang Song."

  Bai Lao Si sneered coldly: "You already know everything, what else can I say? All I can say is that I killed the wrong person!"

  Bai Lao Si was uncooperative, but no matter what, Bao Gong had to make him explain the whole story clearly, because only then could he close the case.

  "We've been chasing Luo Wu all along, and later I sent Tian Luo to gather information about him. That evening, Tian Luo told me that Luo Wu was staying at the Guest Inn of Four Directions. After learning this news, I decided to launch a surprise attack on Luo Wu that night. At midnight, I flew into Luo Wu's room from outside and stabbed him with one knife. I knew that the knife had gone in very deep, and Luo Wu would certainly not survive. So, without bothering about anything else, I escaped from the scene through the window."

  Bai Lao Si spoke casually, as if killing someone was like a child playing house, without any sense of guilt.

  Just after Bai Laosi finished speaking, Bao Zheng and Hualang discovered a suspicious point. Wang Song was poisoned to death first, and then he was stabbed by someone. If Bai Laosi only stabbed Wang Song once, then when Bai Laosi went to kill Wang Song, Wang Song was already dead.

  Hualang thought for a moment and then asked: "Have you poisoned Wang Song?"

  That's why he asked this question, because Hua Lang knew that Bai Lao Si was ruthless and cruel, and his poisoning skills must be high.

  Bai Lao Si shook his head and said, "No, I was originally going to kill Luo Wu. But Luo Wu is a cautious person, he always checks for poison before eating or drinking. If I had poisoned the food first, he would have definitely detected it, and by then, I wouldn't even have had the chance to launch a sneak attack. So I didn't poison the food."

  Bai Lao Si finished speaking, still somewhat angry.

  At this time, Hualang and others believed Bai Laosi's words. Bai Laosi did not know that Wang Song was poisoned to death first, so he thought he had killed someone. Since he knew he would die anyway, why bother denying the poisoning? Now that he doesn't admit to poisoning, it means he really didn't poison anyone.

  But if Bai Lao Si really didn't poison, then things would be a bit troublesome. Bai Lao Si was not the murderer, the murderer was the one who poisoned, but who poisoned?

  Bai Lao Si knelt down in the hall, somewhat impatiently, and said: "What do you want to do? If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why bother with all this nonsense?"

  If Bai Laosi hadn't committed murder, Bao Zheng and the others really couldn't have killed him. After careful consideration, Bao Zheng first sent someone to escort Bai Laosi back to the large prison.

  Bai Lao Si had just left when a yamen runner rushed in to report that Wang De was storming towards the county government office, his face filled with rage.

  Before long, Wang De entered the back hall. He glared at Bao Quan with a pair of angry eyes and asked: "I heard that you caught the murderer who killed my son. Where is he? Why haven't you beheaded him to avenge my son?"

  Seeing Wang De's furious face, the bailiffs all took a step back in fear. Bao Zheng stood up and said: "The matter has not been clarified yet, so it is temporarily impossible to kill Bai Laosi."

  "Why?" Wang De asked somewhat rudely.

  Bao Zheng's dark face twitched slightly, and his somewhat pale eyeballs rolled around as he said: "Because based on the current evidence, it is very likely that Bai Laosi is not the murderer. He just stabbed Leng Lang's corpse with one knife."

  Hearing Bao Zheng say this, Wang De used became even angrier and shouted: "My son is already dead, he still dares to stab again, a person like him is even more detestable. No, I must kill him for my son's sake."

  Seeing Wang De being so stubborn, Bao Zheng was quite helpless. Hua Lang saw this and said: "Lord Wang, why the hurry? The three-day deadline has only passed two days, come back tomorrow at this time to make a decision, how about that?"

  Wang Deyong looked at Hualang with disdain, for him, Hualang was just an ordinary commoner, and this commoner was still using the three-day deadline to deceive himself.

  However, Wang De used did not entangle at this time and angrily said: "Good, I'll wait until tomorrow. I'll see what you can come up with tomorrow. If you can't catch the murderer by tomorrow, I won't just take Bao Zheng's life, but also impeach him!"

  Wang De left in a huff. After he was gone, Bao Zheng let out a sigh, feeling really tired. He had wasted so much energy, and in the end, the person they caught wasn't even the real murderer.

  Gongsun Ce saw Bao Zheng like this, and also had some sympathy. He had just arrived at the county government office, so he still had a bit of enthusiasm. At this time, he spoke up: "There's still one day left, if we work hard, we should be able to catch the real murderer."

  "But Master, if Bai Lao Si isn't the murderer, then all our leads will be cut off!" Hua Wan'er looked at Gong Sun Ce with a puzzled expression.

  But as soon as she finished speaking, Hualang smiled faintly: "The clue hasn't been cut off, not only has it not been cut off, but we may be closer to the target."
