Chapter 259: Speculation
"Wait a moment." Tie Wandao said to Wang Qi.
Tie Wandao wanted to ask Wu Xunsheng about going to the East Horse Shooting Range on his own, but he didn't ask about it immediately because Wu Xunsheng was already injured. He thought that Guan Wenliang must be responsible for Wu Xunsheng going to the East Horse Shooting Range on his own. He was very dissatisfied with Guan Wenliang's performance this time, thinking that Guan Wenliang couldn't even do such a simple thing as taking the two children to the West Horse Shooting Range, which led to such a thing.
Tie Wandao was even more angry when he thought that someone actually dared to beat up the young patriarch's sparring partner. However, he knew that the most important thing now was to find out the situation. He suppressed his anger and looked at Wei Nan and asked, "Who beat him like this?"
"Chief, I don't know. I just came to get the tin bucket." Wei Nan said.
"You didn't hit him?" Tie Wandao asked doubtfully.
"No! I swear to God, I definitely didn't hit him once!" Wei Nan felt that the matter was a bit troublesome and a little nervous. He was worried that he would be wrongly accused.
Tie Wandao asked Wu Xunsheng: "Do you know who beat you?"
Wu Xunsheng said: "When I walked here, I didn't see anyone around, and then this metal bucket fell from above and hit me. There seemed to be three people beating me. I asked them who they were, but they didn't answer. When I was struggling, I kicked one person with my feet, and that person screamed 'ah'. The sound should be Nie Yangwei's. The other two people who beat me didn't look like adults. They just left after beating me."
"In other words, it wasn't Wei Nan who hit you?" Tie Wandao asked.
"It doesn't seem like him. I was lying here for a long time before he came over, and his footsteps didn't sound like the one who beat me. He didn't hit me once after he came." Wu Xunsheng said. After hearing what Wu Xunsheng said, Wei Nan's nervous mood relaxed a little. He immediately said to Tie Wandao: "Listen, clan leader, the person who was beaten said it wasn't me. I was moving things before I came to find the iron bucket. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people who moved things with me."
"Wang Qi, you carry Wu Xunsheng back to Aoqian Palace first! I can go to the West Cavalry Shooting Range by myself." Tie Wandao said to Wang Qi, and then said to Wei Nan: "You go!"
After Wang Qi agreed, he carried Wu Xunsheng on his back and walked towards Ao Qian Palace.
Wei Nan originally didn't know whether he would be wrongly accused of beating someone up, but when he heard Tie Wandao say this, he secretly thanked his luck for being safe. After thanking Tie Wandao, he picked up the tin bucket and went back to continue his work.
Tie Wandao thought: Since the two children, Tian Wen and Jian Rou, took the tin bucket from Wei Nan, and Wu Xunsheng heard Nie Yangwei's voice, then it was most likely these three children who beat people up, as these three children usually hang out together.
Tie Wandao didn't understand why the three kids wanted to beat Wu Xunsheng. Wu Xunsheng said that he didn't see anyone around when he was covered by the metal barrel. If what he said was completely true, it proved that he didn't have any conflict with anyone when he walked here, but was directly covered by the metal barrel. The metal barrel that fell from above could accurately cover Wu Xunsheng's head, it must have been controlled by someone, probably controlled by a rope. Tie Wandao thought while walking towards the west riding and shooting field.
Tie Wandao had indeed guessed some of the previous situations correctly.
At that time, Wu Xunsheng was walking on the road and heard footsteps behind him. The noise was made by Nie Yangwei.
