Chapter Eighty-Four: Heaven and Earth Make Sons for Chess Players
The night was deep, the lack of moon hung dredging, the initial silence of the people was missing, and even the servants in the Juyi Hall had rested.
Li Mi couldn't sleep, because Zhou Yu danced drunk tonight, and set off a wave of exclamations and discussions.
Zhou Yu's unique sword dance, which is painted by falling snow, is not only refreshing, but also requires a lot of skills in it.
The sword qi sleeve wind, dominating those cotton wool, and he has never laid out on the beam, it can be seen how grand he has a grand view of the overall situation, it seems to be done casually, but it is full of skills, and in general, it is incomparable!
In contrast, Li Mi's charcoal strip painting is slightly inferior, and even the light is completely covered by Zhou Yu.
However, Li Mi was not lost because of this, the reason why he couldn't sleep was entirely because of the white jade-like chess piece in his hand!
He couldn't figure out how Zhou Yu could use this white child to make more than 100 widows die tragically in the Righteous Hall, and he was not even allowed to stain his hands.
And at this time, he finally had a personal experience!
Because Zhou Yu just danced a sword after drinking, he let high-ranking officials and nobles including Fan Rongkuan, as well as cold and fierce generals like Qi Mofeng, Song Zhiwei, who has always been cautious, and even his Li Mi himself, climb onto the beams of the house!
Many civil and military generals in the field, at that moment, completely forgot their own identity and reserve, and the civil officials no longer paid attention to the rules such as insulting Sven, and the generals were even more unscrupulous.
What a terrifying mind this person has, and before he knows it, he has manipulated everyone and slapped them in the palm of his hand!
He can even guide people like Qi Mofeng, and even Song Zhiwei and his Li Mi can't help but be curious, and those greedy and selfish widows don't need to be said.
Looking at it this way, this Zhou Yu has 10,000 ways to make these widows kill each other, but he Li Mi can't even imagine one of them.
In other words, Li Mi imagined again and again, but was rejected by himself again and again, because even he thought it was too child's play, how could people's hearts be so simple, and how could people become so stupid?
But the facts have shown that in front of Zhou Yu, Fan Rongkuan and others, who are like old foxes, no matter how dark and deep the scheming of the city government is, it has become extremely simple!
The human heart is complicated by selfish desires, because it needs to be calculated, but the human heart is also made simple because of selfish desires, because they have always had only one goal, and that is to satisfy the greedy monster in their hearts!
Pinching the chess piece, Li Mi walked back to the hall.
The corpse had been cleared out, and the bloody splash in the antechamber had been protected by a fence.
Because the smell was so strong, the guards all ran outside, and only a candle flame and an old man with gray hair were left in the hall.
Li Mi recognized this old man, who was the old Si Cao of the Suzhou Prefecture Torture Hall, who was in charge of the files and incriminating evidence, which was equivalent to the head of the evidence room.
Song Zhiwei is also a very interesting person, because the Si Cao he appointed is both deaf and dumb, and it is said that he is still an extremely upright person who admits death.
In this way, there will be no favoritism, because if you tell him, he will not hear, he will not answer any questions from you, he will not divulge any secrets, and he will not reach for money.
The servants had already rested, but he was sorting out the evidence, grouping the scattered evidence into categories, labeling them, and carefully putting them in bamboo baskets.
Seeing Li Mi come in, the old man raised his head slightly, just smiled and nodded, Li Mi walked over, sat next to him, took out a cigarette gun, lit the candle, and took a puff.
He handed the cigarette gun to the old man, but the old man just waved his hand.
There was no surprise in his eyes, indicating that it was not the first time he had seen a smoking gun, and it was not surprising that the old man, as the manager of the evidence room, was well-informed.
Li Mi was smoking a cigarette while playing with the chess piece, and the old man saw the chess piece, but he pulled Li Mi's sleeve.
Seeing his gaze, Li Mi pinched up the chess pieces and handed them to the old man, who suddenly relaxed, took the chess pieces, and walked to the bamboo basket next to him.
The rows of bamboo baskets had already been numbered, and he walked to the first bamboo basket, hesitated, and finally threw the chess pieces in.
Li Mi was puzzled for a moment, he thought that the old man was just borrowing it to take a look, but at this time, the old man's actions were clearly using this chess piece as evidence!
Li Mi walked over, this first bamboo basket is all the evidence of the pioneer leader of the Japanese Invaders, because Li Mi and Song Zhiwei have searched and inspected, so they recognize it.
Unfortunately, they didn't find the chart in Raven's belongings that was enough to turn the situation around.
Li Mi asked the old man, "This chess piece is also evidence?" ”
The old man nodded, but Li Mi was even more puzzled.
"This is an ordinary chess piece, how can you be sure that the chess piece belongs to Raven Chun?"
The old man knew that Li Mi had this question, so he beckoned to Li Mi, led Li Mi to the second bamboo basket, groped for a bit from a paper bag inside, and then spread out his palm towards Li Mi.
Li Mi suddenly trembled, because in the palm of the old man's palm, there was a sunspot lying there!
This sunspot seemed to have broken through the long-blocked doubts in Li Mi's heart, making the thoughts of pursuing the truth gush out like a tide!
Li Mi walked quickly to the third bamboo basket, then the fourth, and then the fifth, and in each bamboo basket, he almost found a chess piece, black or white, one for each person!
Li Mi seemed to have understood, and suddenly turned his head, looking at the huge righteous hall, as if he saw those ghosts of the widows still fighting and screaming in the hall!
"I see!"
Li Mi ran out suddenly and called Song Zhiwei, who had just fallen asleep!
"Lord Tuiguan, I see! I know! ”
Song Zhiwei had just calmed down from Zhou Yu's surging heart for painting, and he dozed off in a daze, and was woken up by Li Mi, and he was also annoyed for a while.
"What time is this, what are you arguing about?"
Li Mi couldn't help but say, pulled Song Zhiwei up, hugged Song Zhiwei's quilt, and came to the Juyi Hall again!
Song Zhiwei was blown by the night wind, and the light rain hit his face, and he suddenly sobered up, knowing that Li Mi had made progress again, so he didn't complain again.
It can be seen that Li Mi is holding the quilt, and he thinks that Li Mi is referring to the mystery of Zhou Yu's painting, so he can't help but shake his head.
"Everyone knows how he did it, but no one can do it to his extent, Li Mi, you are so impatient, I'm afraid that you will be aroused by him to be jealous, this is unacceptable, you can't live in his shadow, this person is too clever at manipulating people's hearts, and he will enter the palace unconsciously, you have to be careful, don't fall into the devil..."
In the face of Song Zhiwei's kind reminder, Li Mi was also a little warm-hearted, and also let him know that Song Zhiwei was at least sober.
However, he Li Mi didn't want to imitate Zhou Yu to paint, so he was just following Dong Shi's example.
After coming to the hall, Li Mi threw the quilt in a pool of blood, and then squatted down to wipe the blood on the ground, and after a while, the bluestone slab in the hall was exposed.
Li Mi's actions also made Song Zhiwei curious, so he couldn't help squatting down and asked Li Mi, "What are you looking for?" ”
Li Mi lit a candlestick, and then leaned to the ground, his eyes were almost on the floor, and after a while, he finally laughed, pointed to the floor, and said to Song Zhiwei: "Lord Tuiguan, I found it, this is what I am looking for!" ”
Song Zhiwei's eyes are not very good, after all, people in this era do not pay attention to vitamin supplementation, the diet is unbalanced, most of them have night blindness, and their vision deteriorates badly at night, Song Zhiwei squinted his eyes for a long time before he could see clearly what Li Mi was referring to.
It was a scratch, which should have been left by the sword, and the edges were flat and sharp, which should have been fresh.
"This scratch was left by the Japanese when they were fighting among themselves, right?"
Li Mi shook his head, and wiped the scratch along the quilt again, and the scratch actually extended all the way and intersected with another scratch cross!
Song Zhiwei suddenly looked at Li Mi, Li Mi nodded firmly at him, Song Zhiwei hurriedly took off his clothes, and together with Li Mi, he wiped the floor like crazy!
When the old man saw this, he also came over, and when he saw it clearly, he also took off his clothes and wiped the floor with them!
The three of them lay on their stomachs like dogs, like lowly laborers, wiping the blood on the floor, which was like a chessboard that was gradually erasing the stains, and the nicks on it intersected left and right, up and down, and the whole hall was used as a chessboard!
When the wiping was completed, Li Mi and the three lit candles on all sides, and under the light of the fire, the entire Juyi Hall was nineteen and three hundred and sixty-one, which was the degree of Zhou Tian!
"He... He's using this wash of the widow as a pawn! Song Zhiwei was so shocked that his voice trembled, while Li Mi's face was solemn and silent.
Everyone, including Li Mi, saw the tragic situation in the Juyi Hall and thought that this was a big fight, but in fact, Zhou Yu used these widows as chess pieces, and if the chess pieces were eaten, the widows would be killed!
He used a game of chess, unhurried, unhurried, little by little, to kill all these widows!
Of course, it can also be seen from the traces in the Juyi Hall that they used muskets and even artillery, and there are signs of group fights and group killings, but I am afraid that in this situation, it should be Zhou Yu who slaughtered the big dragon of the chess player opposite!
But here comes the problem again.
Zhou Yu is only one person, whether he is black or white, he should also have half of the Japanese under him as chess pieces.
Why did these robbers become Zhou Yu's pawns, who were Zhou Yu's opponents, what were the stakes, and what were his chips?
Li Mi thought that he had uncovered the mystery, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, even if he knew the death of these would-be robbers, he could even imagine the fear that these wouldn't know when they would die when they stood trembling and had the life to complete the chess game!
If it was simply killed, it would be fine, but Zhou Yu made these widows feel the greatest fear in life before they died!
Death is terrible, but not knowing when death will come, and death will come at any time, that is the most terrifying!
"It's... This is a great way to do it... It's just that the official doesn't understand, how could the Japanese be at his mercy? Song Zhiwei couldn't help but exclaim.
And Li Mi just sighed lightly, looked at the blood-colored chess game, and said softly, "Heaven and earth are chess, human life is the son, this metropolitan governor does not want to be a god, but to be a god..."
