Luoyang city spread the news, the new northern Luoyang lieutenant Cao Cao, promulgated a new public security system, prohibiting gambling, prohibiting running horses on the street, strict theft and robbery, every day at the time of the curfew, that is, every night at seven o'clock forbidden to go out, just a few days, the security of the north city is getting better and better, the north city has become a forbidden place for thieves, the people rejoiced, praised the north city yamen, Cao Cao's prestige has been greatly improved.

On the widest main street in the northern city, there is a huge sundial with a huge hand on it, and the surface of the disc is engraved with twelve hours, which is equivalent to the clock of later generations This street is also known as Sundial Street.

After all the casinos were seized, the officials of the Yamen in Beicheng took turns to teach lessons to those gamblers, except for a very few stubborn people, most of them have chosen to return to their families, among these people, there are many businessmen, after they quit gambling, they started to buy and sell, so that the whole Beicheng is a lot lively, they have argued about the size of the dice, and now they are arguing about whose goods are better, whose goods are cheaper, they suddenly feel that the original life without gambling is also so happy.

Life is always a fork in the road, all the way to the light, all the way to the dark, there are many paths on the road of light that lead to darkness, but on the road of darkness, there are few paths that lead to light.

In the past, Sundial Street, which was full of shouting and selling, is different today, many people on the street are in a circle, as if they are watching something, the people in the inner circle are whispering to the people next to them, the people in the outer circle are tiptoeing to look, and the people who can't see are scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, desperately squeezing inside.

There was a light rain last night, today there was a sunny day, after the water evaporated, the air is with the fragrance of earth, the quality of sleep in the rainy night is very good, Xiang Qing and a few people are refreshed and go out to patrol the streets every day, Xiang Qing never expected that he would be a high school graduate in the next life, living in a rental house that can only put one bed, eating instant noodles, chasing dreams of the bottom of the society, actually became a civil servant in ancient times, that is comfortable, proud.

From a distance, I saw three circles in front of me and three circles outside, people chattered and talked non-stop, as if something had happened, Xiang Qing beckoned Liu Hu over.

"Tiger smack, the road ahead is almost blocked, you go to the front and ask what the situation is." Because Xiang Qing is from Shandong, calling Huzi a tiger is a Shandong accent.

Liu Hu ran forward, and when the people saw that the official was coming, they gave way one after another, and ran back after a glance, even the pace was a little messy, his chest was heaving and panting, his eyes were red, and everyone could see that he was very angry.

Xiang Qing realized the seriousness of the matter, restrained his smile and asked, "What happened?" ”

Liu Hu's face was flushed, and he looked unspeakable, "My lord, you better go and see it yourself, I can't say it." ”

Xiang Qing walked towards the crowd with a puzzled face, and promised to separate the crowd from Liu Hu and set aside a passage, so close that Xiang Qing could finally see clearly.

Furious, his hands clenched into fists, the green tendons on his head were about to burst out, and he yelled, "Who the fuck did this!" ”

I saw that in the center of the crowd, there were three corpses, all cardamom girls in their prime of life, their fair skin was exposed to everyone's eyes, they were defenseless, their hair was scattered, and the three corpses were all full of various scars, and these three girls were humiliated and died.

He remembered that night, the group of girls who were poorly dressed and insulted by the bandits, women are born in this age, it is a kind of sadness, unless you were born noble.

Next to the corpse was a wooden board with the words: Serving this son is the honor of a pariah. Twelve big characters, all like steel needles, pierced into Xiang Qing's heart.

Three girls in their prime, kidnapped and humiliated all night, and their bodies were thrown naked on the street, these are three fresh lives, not pigs and dogs! To do such a thing, it is really inferior to a beast.

"Tiger smash! Go find a carriage, take them to the yamen, and notify the family of the deceased to come. ”

"Yes, sir."

Xiang Qing couldn't bear to see such a scene, don't look around, secretly tried the tears in his eyes, he turned around and looked at the people around him, there are those who are heartbroken, there are those who are not concerned about their own judgments, and there are those who are lustful and covetous, but the most are those who are worried about their own safety and are afraid that their lives will be threatened.

"All the uncles and aunts present today, such a thing happened in Beicheng, it is our dereliction of duty, and everyone is frightened, that is, we have not done what we should have done, here, on behalf of Beicheng Yamen, I apologize to you!"

A deep bow is an apology to the deceased, it can be said that there are loopholes in the public order of the government, which led to the occurrence of this tragedy, and it is also an apology to the people, even if they banned casinos and rectified public order, they still did not win the complete trust of the people, under the management of this yamen, their lives could not be saved, how could they trust this government? Unless they use thunderous means to find out the murderer, make the dead blind, and let the murderer receive the punishment he deserves, so as to restore the credibility of the government to the greatest extent.

"I am here to promise you that within three days, the murderer will be found and severely punished! Now, please disperse, please respect the dead! This matter will definitely give you an explanation! ”

Everyone stepped forward to disperse the crowd, watching the people leave with suspicious eyes, their hearts were very uncomfortable, even if Beicheng was chaotic, there had never been a murder, this time there were three people who died, and they all held their breath in their hearts.

Just when Xiang Qing was frowning and thinking of a way, Xiang Xu walked to the three corpses with an expressionless face, Xiang Qing looked up at him, only to see that he took off his coat and covered one corpse, he thought about it, and took off his underwear and covered it on another corpse.

Xiang Xu wore two clothes, and a pair of trousers underneath exposed the well-proportioned muscles on his body, coupled with his already handsome face, which made the women watching from afar look stupid.

Xiang Qing walked to Xiang Xu with a smile, and also took off his coat to cover the corpse, his white and tender body was covered by the man's wide robe, and those hooligans couldn't see anything, so they could only reluctantly leave.

Xiang Qing touched Xiang Xu's head, and every time Xiang Xu was touched his head, he behaved like a kitten, revealing a little tiger tooth and smiling stupidly.

"Xiao Xu, you did a good deed."

Xiang Qing was afraid of the cold, so he put on an extra coat and was about to put it on Xiang Xu, he said gently: "The weather is cold, don't freeze." ”

Xiang Qing put clothes on him, but he didn't expect Xiang Xu to refuse: "I don't, I don't wear it." ”

Xiang Qing then remembered that Xiang Xu had a habit of cleanliness, even if it was his things, Xiang Xu would still dislike them, his clothes would never be touched by others, and he would not touch other people's clothes.

The three corpses on the ground, the soil on their bodies was poured by the rain last night, solidified on the skin, mixed with the blood flowing from the wounds on the body, they also looked dirty, plus the corpses still exuded an unpleasant smell, and the corpses were covered with Xiang Xu's clothes.

"Xiao Xu, you have to remember that even if this world is all darkness, you must be all the light of this world. Because in my brother's heart, you are the most gentle person in the world. ”

Xiang Xu shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

Xiang Qing touched his head again, looked into his eyes and said, "It's okay, you don't need to understand, as long as I am here, I will stop all the darkness." ”

At this time, Liu Hu had already found a carriage, and several people worked together to put the body on the carriage, and the wooden board was also promised to be held, and then Liu Hu served as the coachman, and the others followed the carriage all the way back to the Beicheng Yamen.

At this time, the Beicheng Yamen has been completely renewed, the plaque of the gate has been hung on it, the gate has been reinstalled, there are ten law enforcement five-color sticks on the left and right sides of the lobby, and the courtyard has been cleaned.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard, Cao Cao put down the work in his hand and asked, "Junhe, what did you pull back?" ”

Xiang Qing pulled Cao Cao to the carriage and lifted the clothes covering the corpse, and suddenly, a pungent smell rushed into Cao Cao's nose, and Cao Cao coughed twice before relieving his breath.

"What happened? Where did these three corpses come from? ”

Xiang Qing told Cao Cao everything about the matter, Cao Cao didn't say a word, his expression was serious, but he nodded as if he had expected it.

Before Cao Cao could speak, another team of Cao Da Cao Er, who was patrolling the streets, also came back, or rushed back all the way, as soon as the two of them entered the gate and ran in front of Cao Cao, they held their knees with both hands, gasping for breath, and couldn't speak if they wanted to.

"Speak slowly, don't rush."

Cao Da swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and said: "Great, my lord, some people told us that in, in a small alley on Wentao Street, seven or seven corpses have developed. ”

Cao Er continued: "It should have died last night, the neighbors heard the sound of a cry for help in the middle of the night, seven corpses, three men and four women, one of them is an old woman over seventy years old, we asked, they are three families, all are daughters, they are kind to people on weekdays, there is no enemy, thin people they move the corpses behind." ”

Then, the thin man and the short man each pushed a cart in, and a whole ten corpses were neatly arranged in the courtyard, except for the three girls, everyone else was stabbed and had no chance to resist at all.

Cao Cao took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to Wang Shu, and said in a conversation: "Go to Sundial Street to buy a few good coffins and bury the corpse alive." ”

"Wait." Xiang Qing stopped Wang Shu: "Big brother, the body of the homicide is the key, without the body, how can we find clues?" ”

Cao Cao took the wooden board engraved with twelve characters from his hand and waved it a few times and said, "You don't need to look for clues, this is not a homicide at all." ”

Xiang Qing looked at Cao Cao's expression and suddenly thought of something: "Big brother, what do you mean?" Is this coming for us? ”

"That's right, this is a demonstration and a warning to us."

"That's ten lives! They are all innocent ordinary people, and these people will warn us with ten innocent lives? ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and everyone was waiting for him to speak.

"This person is bound to be in a high position, we have violated the interests of many people by banning the casino, compared to their interests, what is ten lives, in their eyes, the people are just ants, they are also gambling, betting on whether I dare to attack them."

Xiang Qingping raised the Thundering Sword, and his eyes gradually shifted from the sword body to Cao Cao: "With me, if you want to kill you, you have to ask my Thundering Sword, big brother, do whatever you want, I believe in you." ”

Cao Cao turned around and walked to the lobby, and said as he walked: "I, Cao Mengde, am determined to eradicate traitors, this time, it's just the beginning, if you think that I won't kill, then they will misunderstand me Cao Mengde, I'm waiting for them here!" If you have the guts, then let them come! ”
