Chapter 33—Ten Years of White Bones (14)

Su Yunkai said that there was evidence, but since the incident, Mingyue has been with him, and if he thinks about it carefully, it seems that the yamen has not collected any evidence that can prove that Yang Fugui is the murderer. When his words fell, Mingyue didn't blink, and continued to listen and watch.

She believed in him and would never say anything.

"Before Mingyue and I went up the mountain today, I asked Yang Qianli to inquire about the name of the wild fruit that Yang Baijia found back then, and not long after, the villagers of Li Da went up the mountain to show the way, saying that the village chief knew where there was a business land. In fact, you know where Yang Baijia picked it back then, and that place is the exit of the cave. But you're afraid we'll find the cave, so you ask someone to take us in the opposite direction, and you immediately go and block the hole. But you didn't expect that before we left the vicinity of the cave, we accidentally rolled down the hill and found the entrance to the cave. ”

Yang Fugui said coldly, "This is the so-called evidence of adults?" The place I asked them to take you to is indeed a merchant land, is it true that as long as there are people in other places who have a merchant land, they are all luring adults away from the cave, and they are the real murderers? ”

Su Yunkai stared at him and said, "So you didn't go up the mountain at all today, and you didn't go to that cave at all?" ”

"Nope."

Su Yunkai smiled coldly, "When we found the cave, the entrance to the cave was blocked by many branches, the branches had just broken, and there was white sap overflowing from the fracture. I noticed that the sap was dripping unevenly, even the trunks that were far away were dripping a little, so I thought that the murderer was in such a hurry to break it, maybe there would be some on his hands and clothes. ”

When Bai Shui heard the sound, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yang Fugui's hand and turned it open vigorously. The broad, rough palm was imprinted with brown sap.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Yang Fugui's face was pale, "This is just what I got when I chopped firewood today, and the firewood hasn't dried yet, so it's stained some." If you don't believe me, look at the firewood piled up in my yard, and my old mother, wife and children can also testify that I chopped wood today. ”

"And what about the marks on your clothes?"

When the words fell, Yang Fugui immediately turned his head to look at the clothes, but there was nothing unusual. Su Yunkai pointed to his shoulder, "When Mingyue and I went into the cave to find the exit, we found that there were turbid water dripping on the top of the cave, and because it passed through the green moss, the water droplets were dirty. When I came out, I found that two or three drops had been splashed on my shoulder, and now the water is dry, but the water stains are still there. I compared it just now, and it's exactly the same as the water stain on your right shoulder. ”

Yang Fugui's face changed, and he looked over his shoulder, where there was really a little light green water stain.

The villagers who had been sitting next to him were shocked again, almost jumping up and retreating in unison.

Yang Fugui's surroundings were suddenly empty, and he sat on the chair alone, as if he was on an isolated island, looking terrifying and lonely.

"This is also ...... It's just a coincidence. ”

Su Yunkai sneered, and said, "Li Da, Yang Qianli, let me ask you, when you went into the cave to look for us, what was on the ground?" ”

Li Tan and Yang Qianli glanced at each other and replied, "Bat dung." ”

"Yes, there are a lot of bats in the cave, and there are piles of droppings, but the cave is not completely dry because the cave is wet. When I entered the cave, I kept shining four times with a torch, and I found footprints on the ground......"

Before he could speak, Yang Fugui had already said loudly, "Those footprints can't prove that they are mine!" ”

As soon as the prisoner was in a hurry, Su Yunkai knew that he couldn't support it, "But that's okay, because you were born with a lame leg, and the strength of your left and right feet is different, and the cave footprints are also deep on the left and shallow on the right." He looked at the person who had nothing to say, and then said, "Another point, when I dug up Yang Baijia in the woods before, I always thought that the shoes in the cave were his, because one big and one small, it is impossible for normal people to wear shoes like this, but because he is an idiot and his life is barren, I have no doubts." It wasn't until I went to his house that day and found that there were still his clothes in the house, but I couldn't see a single shoe, that I came back to my senses, and Yang Baijia may have never worn shoes. ”

Yang Qianli answered, "Yes, Uncle Yang never wears shoes. ”

"Then the shoe can only be one person, and that is the murderer."

Mingyue looked at Yang Fugui's feet, and her naturally disabled legs were indeed one big and one small, and the shoes she was wearing now were obviously different in size.

"I think you were also flustered at the time, so you didn't notice the shoes that fell off during the fight, so you buried Yang Baijia indiscriminately in the dark night, and even buried your shoes in it. When I came to the village that day, I saw a villager walking barefoot, but he didn't know the pain, but he said that the croppers were like this all year round, and the soles of their feet were thick, and they were not afraid of piercing. Maybe you are panicked, or maybe you don't know if you lose your shoes. ”

Yang Fugui was speechless, he could have defended again, but when he saw that the people who usually supported him in the ancestral shrine were all retreating, there was hostility and hatred in their eyes, but they suddenly had no strength to defend.

"When you found the bones of Yang Baijia, you brought Yang Qianli to worship, nominally to worship, but you are no longer a reckless young man, but you lit a lot of incense and candles in the narrow hut, and smoked the house full of smoke. Of course, you are not worshipping Yang Baijia, but you want to steal something, something that may expose you, but it will not be noticed by the people of the yamen. ”

Mingyue suddenly remembered what he had carefully identified before he came to the morgue, and suddenly, "Shoes." ”

Su Yunkai nodded, "Yes, the shoes, they are the shoes that were dug up with the bones of Yang Baijia, one large and one small." And ......" he took out the last thing, a miserable white tail finger white bone, and put it in front of the god seat that enshrined the tablet, "After finding Yang Baijia, although he was severely injured during his lifetime, but the bones were intact, but we looked for his tail finger for a long time, and later Mingyue judged that his finger was bitten off before his death and discarded in the pit at will, so that the tail finger was not in place." ”

Some people exclaimed cruelty and looked shocked, and Yang Qianli sighed again and again.

"But it wasn't until I doubted you that I remembered that your tail finger was gone. So I went back to the place where Yang Baijia was buried, and sure enough, I found another tail finger. I think your finger was also broken at that time, and when you bit him, it was also torn off. ”

Yang Fugui is indeed missing a tail finger, some people think about it for a moment, and they are even more stunned, "I remember that you were also broken at about that time, and said that it was broken by a clip when you went up the mountain to hunt, I wondered why I was caught in that place, and now I understand that it was not clamped at all, but was bitten off by a hundred families!" ”

The nets have all been put away, and Yang Fugui has nothing to say. Su Yunkai said, "The people from Mojia Village are outside, maybe you disguised yourself back then, but your feet can't be disguised as normal, but you want me to call them in to confront you?" ”

Yang Fugui was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, his expression was terrifying and desperate, and it made people take three steps back, "It's not that I want to do this, I don't want to kill the children of the same clan, to exchange blood steamed buns, you forced me." If it weren't for you dog officials who didn't give us a way to live, how could I do such a thing? I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people! It is you who kill people, you corrupt officials and corrupt officials! ”

Su Yunkai couldn't help but be furious, "Yang Fugui, thousands of people downstream of the river embankment have suffered the same thing, why are you the only one who did the act of killing people and selling corpses?" The ghost media has received a lot of rewards, but you have mutilated more than ten lives in a row, it is clear that you have a bad heart, a ruthless heart, an unforgivable crime, and dare to quibble! ”

Before Yang Fugui admitted it in person, there were still many people who didn't want to believe that the person who was willing to share his own meat when he was so miserable back then was actually the murderer of his own child. The meat they ate back then was the same as their own children's meat!

Some are yelling, some are crying, some are silent, some are angry.

Only Yang Fugui is still laughing.

He smiled and slammed into the table next to him, Bai Shui's eyes were fast, and he reached out to stop it, but under the impact of the force, the person was blocked, but the back of his hand was hit on the sharp corner of the table, and he almost didn't break the bone.

Mingyue exclaimed in surprise and stepped forward quickly, who thought that someone next to him would be faster, it was Qin Fang.

Qin Fang stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed his hand and twisted him back hard, and the other officials also reacted, and at this time they had already gathered forward and subdued him. Yang Fugui shouted loudly, as if he was crazy and angry, shouting that he was not wrong, it was the dog official who was wrong.

But as Su Yunkai said, thousands of people suffered natural disasters back then, why was he the only one so bloody and cruel?

When the villagers saw that he was tied up and unable to move, angry people came forward to beat him and told him to return his children to them.

The ancestral shrine was in a mess, and the weak officials could hardly stop it. There was a cry begging for mercy from the lobby, and Su Yunkai thought it was Yang Fugui's voice pleading, but when he listened carefully, it was clearly a child's voice. He hurried over, and sure enough, there was a child in front of Yang Fugui, who was squeezed by the villagers and almost twisted his body, but he still didn't leave.

"Don't scold my dad, he's not a bad person, don't hit him."

Su Yunkai looked at the boy who was only about ten years old, crying sadly and desperately, Yang Fugui also cried, and the person who had been laughing and scolding also cried. He stepped forward and shouted, drank the villagers back, stopped in front of the child, and said, "Yang Fugui committed a heinous crime, the yamen will punish him, I know you hate him, but if you really beat him to death here, then what is the difference between you and the mob?" ”

One of them asked angrily, "Are you really going to execute him?" ”

"If I don't want to severely punish the murderer, why bother here to expose the murderer's true face and let you observe?"

Everyone felt justified, so they suppressed their anger and retreated slightly.

Su Yunkai whispered a few words to the officer, and the officer immediately went out. Soon after, I came back and whispered to him again. Su Yunkai nodded and asked them to take the children and escort Yang Fugui out of the village together.

Mingyue and the officials came out and found that Yang Fugui's family was also with them, so they guessed that he had asked the officials to take Yang Fugui's relatives out of the village together. Judging from the reaction of the villagers just now, I am afraid that if I don't take them away, I will hate the house and Wu, and I don't know what I will do tonight.

Su Yunkai was afraid that the villagers would follow, so he checked behind him. The villagers wanted to follow, but the other party was a member of the yamen and did not dare to act rashly, not to mention that there were so many officers and soldiers, so they could only watch them cross the bridge and disappear into the night.

After crossing the only bridge that connects the village to the outside, there is a grove of trees. When Su Yunkai passed by, he took a few more looks, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Mingyue still had a doubt in her heart, and when she saw that the villagers did not follow, she said, "I remember when I turned over the county chronicles, when Yang Baijia was killed, the corrupt officials had not been punished, the upstream embankment had not been repaired, and the bridge outside the village had not been repaired, why did Yang Fugui not kill people since then?" ”

Su Yunkai said silently, "His only son is ten years old this year. ”

Mingyue was stunned, "You mean ......?"

"Perhaps...... The birth of his son gave him good thoughts. ”

Mingyue didn't know what to say for a while, and sighed for a long time, "But this kind of good thought is selfish." ”

Su Yunkai also found it difficult to explain this kind thought, Yang Fugui was still strong when he was in the most difficult time, even if he couldn't survive in Yangjia Village, he could leave his hometown or abandon his wife like other people of the same age in the same village, but he didn't leave behind his old father and mother, as well as his grandfather who was still alive at the time, and even his wife's two elders were taken care of together.

Maybe this is a selfish good thought, terrible...... It's sad again.

"You took his mother, wife and children out for fear of being hurt by the villagers if they stayed there?"

"No matter how hateful he is, but his relatives are innocent, you have seen the situation just now, I can't stay, I want to send them to another place to settle down."

Passing through a pine forest, it is still dark and you can't see the bottom. Occasionally, the forest wind blows, and it is also cold to the bones. Su Yunkai only hopes that in the future, there will be no more corrupt officials, no more blood steamed buns, and no more second Yang Baijia.

May the souls of the past be at peace in the next life.
