Chapter 6: Inside the Temple of the Serpent

Li Rumo fell to the ground with his hands and wanted to stand upright, but his legs were blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't stand up, he tried several times in a row, but he fell halfway, he simply lay on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The emperor is above, although I, Li Rumo, am not a good person, but the Qianfu matter is a thousand and ten thousand, there are traitors who designed to frame the grass people, I will never be convinced, I will never admit it, if you want to be corrupt and pervert the law and insist on convicting me of guilt, I, Li Rumo, would rather commit suicide and die than let you succeed." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info haha! He looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his mouth was full of blood, and his expression was very tragic and terrifying.

Wan Zhifu was a little stunned, and then said angrily: "Shameless thief, it is worthy of being a stone in a pit, there are all human and material evidence, you are still a thief and a thief, is this government afraid of you?" Come on, serve the punishment of this house! ”

A group of soldiers raised the big stick in their hands and surrounded Li Rumo, ready to move.

Suddenly, I heard a bell-like voice outside the courtyard saying: "Lord Wan, this case has a huge stake, and it is too early to determine that Li Rumo is the real murderer based on the current evidence, and I hope that the adults will think twice and decide." Before the voice fell, a tall man walked in, with a long knife hanging from his waist, a pair of cold and stern eyes, but his face was full of vicissitudes.

When Wan Zhifu saw the visitor, he was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Li Zhutou, don't forget, you were dismissed by your boss because of the theft of the talisman from the Qin Palace, and you are no longer the head catcher of Xi'an City, so don't ask about this matter." ”

Li Rumo was overjoyed, if he didn't guess wrong, the person who came was Li Qingfeng, the chief catcher of Xi'an City, who was known as the nine-fingered soul searcher, and was a very famous god hunter.

Li Qingfeng said loudly: "My lord, although I, Li Qingfeng, am no longer the chief catcher of Xi'an City, many brothers in Xi'an Yamen are worried and tired of this case. Looking at it below, there are too many doubts in this case, and there is no real culprit yet; Second, this case is very important, the eighteen lives of the Qian Mansion belong to the big case of Tongtian, and the subordinates feel that such a big case of destroying the door must be handled as an iron case, catch the real culprit, and try it clearly, so that they can give an explanation to the saint and the court, and comfort the soul of the deceased in the sky. ”

Wan Zhifu said unhappily: "The Qian Mansion has suddenly undergone a great change, how can I endure this breath?" It's just that Qianfu's maid Hong'er is the only living mouth and the only witness present, she insists that Li Rumo intends to kill someone, is there still a fake? ”

Li Qingfeng hugged his fists and said: "Lord Bing, my subordinates have recently heard some folk rumors that many gangsters have sneaked into Xi'an, taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and become traitors, maybe they killed people and looted, and framed Li Rumo." In short, the subordinates feel that the case is complicated and the stakes are important, and they hope that the adults will learn from it. ”

Wan Zhifu muttered: "I also want to get the matter to a conclusion and then close the case, but the urging from above is very strong, and the saint is very concerned." The master, who had been silent, made a silent gesture to Li Qingfeng, and gently put his mouth close to Wan Zhifu's ear and whispered: "Master, Li Zhutou is reasonable, this case is a big case, the saint is very concerned, this Li Rumo can't be tortured first, this person is so tough and ruthless, I'm afraid that the punishment will be excessive, this thief chewed his tongue and died, there was no confession, and many doubts behind it could not be clarified, and the opposite could not be handed over, it was better to put him in prison for the time being, and then investigate the criminal evidence." This case has attracted a lot of attention in Chang'an City, and there is a lot of discussion in the market, and it must be done as an iron case, otherwise the saint will blame it in the future, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to adults. Although Master Ye's voice was subtle, Li Rumo's internal strength was very strong, and he could hear it clearly.

Wan Zhifu's eyes wandered around, obviously considering the mystery in this, and then he was shocked and shouted: "Li Rumo has committed a serious crime, and the law should be punished by the nine clans, but this case is very important, there are still accomplices who have not been brought to justice, and some of the evidence of the crime still needs to be clear, so Li Rumo will be imprisoned for the time being." ”

Hong'er cried in a low voice: "Lord Wan, you have to be the master of the slave family, if this thief does not die, the slave family will not be able to live." ”

Wan Zhifu groaned: "Hong'er, you want to avenge the Qian family, your feelings are forgivable, and your heart is commendable, but this mansion doesn't want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, live up to the emperor's grace, live up to the people, and comfort Qian Hanlin's spirit in the sky." It's just that Li Rumo didn't admit his guilt, maybe the real culprit was someone else, but Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and this government will give you an explanation. The officials will put Li Rumo in a deep prison and be strictly guarded, and there must be no mistakes. Hong'er, this mansion remembers that you are unaccompanied and have a strange grievance, so you will temporarily live in the guest house of this mansion, ready to testify in court at any time. Retirement. ”

With a shout, Wan Zhifu walked into the back hall, and when he went down, he stumbled and yawned, it seems that the long court trial is really tiring for Wan Zhifu. But Li Rumo inexplicably felt that there was something hidden in his eyes, Wan Zhifu's gaze was very deep and poisonous and seemed to be very light and empty, Li Rumo had seen through human feelings for decades, and had developed a pair of discerning eyes, and felt that there was cruelty and tyranny hidden behind his strange and changing gaze.

Li Rumo's pipa bones were locked, and he acted like a waster, he thought to himself that once he removed this ghost-like curse and restored his former strength, the walls of the cell here would be ten times higher, and no matter how many hundreds or thousands of people there were, he would not want to stop him. Thinking of this, Li Rumo sighed helplessly, looking forward to the prefect quickly arresting the real murderer of the Qin Order, so that he could get out of the sea of suffering and continue to enjoy the splendid days. Li Rumo was extremely irritable in the stone room of the Blackwater Prison, restless, he was not afraid of death, but felt that the fate of his life was strange, like waves with waves, and there were hidden whirlpool traps, he was kind-hearted, not born evil, but fate tricked, he embarked on the road of killing people and taking his life, although it was not full of evil, but it was also evil, he also understood that there are gods in the three feet above his head, and evil is retribution, and sooner or later one day he will either be killed by the enemy, or he will be cursed by God and die.

He thought of the outside world, where human nature is dark, cruel and ruthless, good and evil are reversed, and most of them are busy all their lives, either dying of poverty, hunger, birth, old age, illness, or death under swords and guns, and in prison, how many people can enjoy the blessing of a long life and a hundred years old, and die on the bed? Life is short, and it is enough for me to be happy and revengeful in my life.

But the bloody case of the eighteen people in the Qian Mansion in the south of the city was indeed not his own doing, but after thinking about it, who committed such a major crime of rebellion and deliberately framed himself? And how on earth did they get themselves into this pocket that had already been arranged? If these bloody and bizarre grievances are not washed before death, they will not be able to swallow this evil breath no matter what.

Especially Hong'er, her face is so beautiful, her every move is more like a person, a goddess in his mind, but Hong'er is not that person, she didn't know her before, how could she come here to prove herself? He felt that the world was like chess, and it was impossible to fathom.

In the evening, when everything fell silent, he lay on the stone slab, remembering the strange encounter of the previous winter night, and felt that his heart was hot, and he could not help himself for a while. That winter, was the coldest and hungliest winter he remembered, heavy snow he was poor and sick, full of pain, three days without a bite of food, finally fell at the intersection of the south of the city drinking horse market, he was ragged, a foul smell, passers-by are contemptuous and hateful eyes, at night, from time to time there are wild dogs to bite, there are a few pairs of green eyes in the distance, he knows, it is a wild wolf, looking forward to a meal, just waiting for him to breathe or before he can breathe, it will pounce, tear his bony body and swallow it.

Since he was born, his father and mother have died, and he is left alone, like a speck of dust, and no one knows his existence at all, and feels his joys, sorrows, and sorrows; He is also very well-behaved and kind, never fights with people or calculates others, just lives humbly by watching the eyes of others.

The snow was blowing and gradually covering him, and he called Tiantian, feeling the hand of death tightening his neck. He's going to die, and tomorrow after the heavy snowfall, no one will ever know that he's ever been in this world, he's just a passing guest like an ant in this world of suffering. At this moment, a girl in white slowly walked in the chaotic snow, her face was so delicate and bright, her smile was so holy and flawless, she stretched out her kind and gentle hands, like Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, gave him cotton clothes and food, rescued him from the gate of hell, and even handed him a silver hairpin he carried, so that he could sell it into silver to live well, this girl in white gave him hope, and he never killed anyone in white again.

The silver hairpin, he was naturally reluctant to sell, he kept the silver hairpin in his arms, whenever he thought of the girl in white, he would take out the silver hairpin and look at it carefully. However, on the night when he was caught in prison in a daze, the silver hairpin that carried his endless lovesickness disappeared.

The moment he saw Hong'er, he thought he had met the girl in white, but although the two looked similar, the girl in white was as pure as a fairy and as soft as water, while Hong'er was low-voiced and indecisive, and he didn't blame Hong'er in his heart, largely because she was somewhat similar to the girl in white. He was getting colder and colder, knowing that the night was dark, the silence around him was like death, the faint screams and begging for life in hell gradually sounded, the prefect yamen closed himself for a few months, suddenly let him out of the court, interrogated once, and ran aground, he knew the situation he was facing, once he couldn't catch the real murderer, or the Xi'an prefect yamen couldn't withstand the pressure, he would ignore the fact that he didn't confess, but fabricated testimony, and reported it to the Beijing division, and the emperor Zhu pen approved it, and he was a key offender of Qin's order, and killed the imperial court officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives, According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Chi was to be executed.
