Episode 1 Chapter 17 In the Night
Night.
The gray-black night veil was the same as usual, and it enveloped the entire town of Jiangyang Town early.
From a distance, it was pitch black, with only a few dense yellow lights left, and some scattered faint red-yellow fluorescent lights, outlining the general appearance of the entire town.
The night cannot deceive anyone.
At this time, the Zhou family gambling house was lit up and down the courtyard, and the crowd was walking back and forth, busy, as if something tricky had happened.
Even the night can't stop them.
can't stop their motivation, or a sense of survival......
Zhou Qianwei sat quietly next to the big stone mill in the courtyard, sitting there barefoot.
That location happens to be the first place you can see when you enter through the back door.
The figures in the courtyard walked back and forth, busy, carrying some large and small items, shouting in the front hall and back yard.
But these don't seem to matter much to her.
She just sat there as usual, quietly distracted, waiting, waiting......
"Miss, let's go. ”
A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Zhou Qian turned slightly sluggishly, and for the first time, his gaze moved away from the open back door to look in the direction of the speaker.
There were three people in total.
Two men and one woman, a husband and wife, a pair of brothers, and the speaker is the younger brother.
"Miss, let's go. The younger brother stood slightly in front of him and said with a solemn face.
After a few seconds late, Zhou Qianwei withdrew his eyes, and his heroic eyelashes blinked, contrasting with the beautiful black eyes, like a desperate situation in the world.
"Good. ”
The younger brother took a step back and stood in a row with his brother and sister-in-law.
Poof!
The three of them knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhou Qianwei: "Miss, take care!"
With that, the three of them stood up and walked sideways towards the back door.
Zhou Qianwei didn't watch the three of them leave, but sighed softly: "Take care too!"
The three of them had just left, and two more walked up to Zhou Qianwei.
"Grandma, your great kindness and great virtue Liu Xiaoliu is unforgettable!"
......
Even if night falls, for the damp and pitch-black dungeon, there is not much difference, nothing more than the difference between very dark and even darker.
The dungeon had been lit with dispensable candlelight, and the candle shadow of the big red candle was slightly blown by a gust of wind from nowhere, and the candle shadow swayed on the ground.
The candlelight in the background also flickered, almost extinguished.
Yan Luo played the last set of beggar boxing of the day before going to bed, and after a whole day, he was really tired.
But it's good to be tired, at least you can sleep soundly, don't have to think about it, don't worry about it.
"Sir, I slept. ”
"Uncle Braid, Ann. ”
Yanluo opened his mouth and said, these days, he has become more and more familiar with the old man and the uncle with braids, and he can be regarded as a friend in a certain sense.
The old gentleman did not speak, but rolled his cloudy and pale eyes, and said hello, and walked into the dark shadow in the corner.
Uncle Braided didn't respond, turned over haughtily, and turned around.
Yanluo touched his nose, although he was a little embarrassed, but he was used to it in the past few days, slowly squatted down, put his arms on the ground, and lay down quietly.
"System system, are you there?"
The system is being upgraded, do not disturb ......]
Ay...... Yanluo sighed lightly, his thoughts unconsciously flew to Zhou Qianwei, and he prayed silently twice worriedly, and then fell asleep.
......
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit!"
Syllable!
Although the man said that he was going to confess, Liang Xing still threw it with a whip.
"Ahh
The braid was slammed into the man's face, and there was another whip mark spilling blood, and the flesh and skin on his face were blown open, and the pain he suffered can be imagined.
Who is this man?
How could he be subjected to such a cruel punishment?
If the words were at this time, they might be able to barely recognize it.
This is Brother Zhang, who is about the same age as him, the guy in the store.
Daimyo Zhang Erma, seventeen or eighteen years old.
"That's it. The corners of Liang Xing's mouth hooked up a somewhat gloomy smile.
Today's young people seem to have a hard mouth, and they are all quite affectionate.
Those who are kind and kind persuade and coax, but they don't recognize anything.
Stubborn.
pity
A little trick will not work.
It's just that after three whips, Zhang Erma couldn't stand it and wanted to confess.
To be honest, Liang Xing regretted a little, if he had tortured himself seven days ago, it would have been a different situation if he didn't move now.
Otherwise, those people in Xiaoshan Mansion may have arrived at this time, and they can directly round up the Zhou family's gambling house.
Since it's so easy to deal with, it's better to move even that Yan kid for a while...... Liang Xing's eyes moved slightly, and he was figuring out how to deal with this kid Yanluo next.
Confession is just moving the skin of the mouth, and the pain of the flesh and skin, why is it bitter.
"Okay, I'll ask you. Liang Xing threw the whip on the ground, walked up to Zhang Erma, patted Zhang Erma's shoulder and said:
"Little brother, I don't want you to say more. All you need to answer is yes and no. On the morning of seven days ago, after the deceased had a conflict with Ma Sanmao (Hu San) in Jiangyang Town in the Zhou family gambling house, Zhou Qianwei, the owner of the Zhou family, used a hidden weapon to poison the troublemaker in order to maintain the so-called rules of the gambling house. That's right. ”
"I don't ...... Yes, yes. ”
Zhang Erma lowered his head, and the pain on his face told him how to answer, how to answer correctly, and the answer that the person in front of him wanted.
He is already the third person to go missing in the Zhou family's gambling house.
The first person is Zhou Qianwei's younger brother Yan Luo, who is said to have disappeared that night.
Looking at it now, it should be the same as himself, and he was arrested by Liang Xing of 100 households.
The second is an old buddy in the gambling house, Ma Tao.
It was also mysteriously missing three days ago, and Zhang Erma thought that Ma Tao might also fall into the hands of Liang Xing.
The old fellow may not be able to take a few lashes, and he will admit it as much as he does.
Of course, the most important reason for Zhang Erma's change of mouth is that in addition to the pain of these whips, there is also the attitude of the owner Zhou Qianwei.
The younger brother disappeared, did not look for it, did not have the slightest attitude.
The old man is missing, and the second person who is missing, Zhou Qianwei is still a little indifferent.
Then you are even more irrelevant, if you don't figure out how to find a way, you may have to suffer a lot of sin......
Zhou Qianwei's attitude this time is extremely abnormal,
Although the owner of the workshop is also kind to their guys on weekdays, this time his attitude can't help but make Zhang Erma a little desperate......
He can only save himself!
Liang Xing smiled, and agreed with Zhang Erma's obedience, and admitted several questions in a row, which was very in line with his "reasoning".
So he instructed his subordinates to hand over a confession and a red ink.
"Look at it, this is your confession, and after reading it, press a handprint. Liang Xing turned around and walked outside, laughing twice.
Zhang Erma nodded, looking at the dense children on the yellow paper, his scalp was a little numb.
He couldn't read it either......
His fingers trembled and dipped the red mud in the square wooden box, his left hand was lining, and his thumb pressed it, and he took off the confession.
The yellow confession floated back and forth, and after a long time, it fell to the ground......
The stars in the night sky are still twinkling, and the white crescent moon hanging in the middle of the sky is particularly clear in black spots.
