Chapter 44 Cook the baby in a cauldron
The lights illuminate the night, and more than 1,000 county soldiers are stubborn and stubborn, surrounding the Moon Tower on all sides.
Except for the spear prodigy Yuan, the sword saint Wang Yue, the sword ancestor Cai Yang, the flying general Lu Bu, etc., there are only a handful of peerless masters, and no one can leave calmly.
The doors were kicked open one by one, and the tenants were dragged out one by one, and their coats were dragged to the spacious hall one after another.
"Get away, my son has feet, and he will go downstairs!"
The white-faced scholar pushed away the county soldiers, swaggered downstairs, stared at Li He proudly and said: "Wu Na old horseman, you are just a county man, do you really think that no one can cure you with one hand covering the sky?" You are so speechless and indiscreet, provoke my Changshe Zhong family, don't expect to mix in Yingchuan! ”
"I'm grass!" Li He slapped him and slapped the white-faced scholar on the ground: "Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, what about the four great families?" I only know that this restaurant hides the real murderer of my son, and he is the son of the family! ”
"Vulgar martial artist, you are so lawless, humiliating my Changshe Zhong family, today I Zhong Xu fought with you, either the fish died, or the net ......"
Zhong Xu still didn't say the broken words, Li He pulled out the pine pattern ancient sword and placed it across his neck: "I don't want to die, stand aside obediently!" ”
The cold touch of the sword blade frightened Zhong Xu Han's hair, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he had already retreated in his heart, but he glanced at his friends around him and felt that his face was a little unbearable.
He pretended to be calm again, and said in a softened tone: "Yes, there is a kind of you who killed me, but I am afraid that you don't have the guts." ”
"Yo, don't be afraid of death, you're kind more than me." Li He picked his nose and flicked it on Zhong Xu's face: "Lao Tzu fulfills you!" ”
The blade of the sword slashed through the skin, cutting a trace of blood, Zhong Xu's friend Xi Zhicai, who really couldn't see it, hurriedly ran out to persuade him: "My lord, please stop being angry." Brother Zhong is careless, not innocent. You also want to be really fierce, there is no need to make branches, it is better for us to shake hands and make peace, turn hostility into jade silk, and turn anger into peace. ”
"Or listen to what you say, this official sells you face, takes your friend down, and obediently stands aside." Li He borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, he still wanted to mix in the Yingchuan officialdom, and he didn't want to make enemies everywhere and offend the Yingchuan family.
Zhong Xu was persuaded to retire by his friends, and more than 100 tenants quieted down. Li He is not even afraid of the Zhong clan of the Changshe in order to be the real murderer, and they are even less worth mentioning.
Xu Shu looked at Du Ji, the two of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly, these hundreds of county soldiers can't deal with them even if they are tired to death, and they are destined to be doomed.
Li He walked around, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said coldly and ruthlessly: "The official received a tip, and the real murderer has been hiding in the restaurant. Don't think that if you change your face, the official will take you without a face? If you don't want to implicate the innocent, stand up for yourself. ”
The tenants looked at each other, suspecting that the people around them were murderers. And Xu Du and the others were silent, watching the development of the situation coldly.
"Nobody admits it, does it? It's good, don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, this official will see how long you can endure it! ”
Li He grabbed a tenant, stabbed him through the chest with a sword, gently pushed the corpse away, took out the white cloth in the placket, and repeatedly wiped the blood stains on the sword.
"From now on, the official will wipe off the blood stains, and he will slaughter at will until the real culprit behind the scenes is willing to stand up."
Li He acted as if nothing happened, discarded the blood-stained white cloth, and looked for a target in the crowd, and the son of the family was excluded first.
"It's just you stupid big man, the official sees that you are strong and strong, and you look like a real murderer, hurry up and catch it!"
Li He gave the order, and the four county soldiers rushed forward, put up the arms of the sturdy man, and the man exchanged with tears: "I'm not a murderer, I'm really not a murderer." I'm just a passing merchant, I don't know your son at all, I don't want to die......"
"The real murderer, I beg you, you stand up quickly, please don't implicate the innocent!"
Du Yi clenched his fists and was about to stand up bravely, Xu Shu pulled him, stepped forward and said: "Why implicate the innocent, the person you are looking for is me, I killed your son." ”
"It's not enough, the real murderer is two people, and you can't afford it alone. So, he still had to die. ”
Li He stabbed the sturdy man to death with another sword. Du Yi knew that he couldn't escape, and he didn't want to implicate the innocent anymore, so he had to stand up: "There is another person, I conspired with him to attack and kill your son." ”
"You two bastards, you are finally willing to stand up, and you have to force Lao Tzu to kill people. Come on, tie up the real murderer. ”
The county soldiers wrapped them with hemp rope and tied Xu Du and the others to death.
Xu Shu sighed and said, "Brother Bohou, it's me who is vengeful and has affected you." ”
"It's not about you, it's all my own volition. Death is death, I ......"
Du Yi choked back tears, unintentionally glanced at his stepmother and infant son, and he really couldn't give up in his heart.
Li He glanced at the tenant and said with a sneer: "You can tell me that the two of them have family members, and the first to inform the truth will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold." ”
The so-called wealth is moving, and the tenant exploded in an instant, abandoning the moral bottom line.
"I know, I know, the real murderer who came forward first lives in a simple house on weekdays, and there is no family to stay with, and as for who the surname is, outsiders have no way of knowing."
"You don't know anything, so what about you? Get out of the way! ”
"Your Excellency!" A middle-aged man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes pointed to Du Ji's stepmother and said: "This coquettish girl is the mother surnamed Du, and it is his son in her arms." It was the baby who was ruined by the Xiliang Army, the thief's beautiful surname Zou's broken shoes, and the baby who was rescued by disembowelment. ”
"Your news is good, a hundred taels of gold is yours."
The middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes thanked him for his kindness. Du Yi was anxious, and his stepmother Lin resisted to no avail, and was also arrested by the county soldiers.
"Master Li, the crime is not as good as the family. Du killed your son, cut it with a thousand knives, cut the car in half, and let you dispose of it, without complaints. ”
Du Yi kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please also be kind and let Du's young son and elderly mother live." ”
"Guilty of not being able to sin the family?" Li He patted Du Yi's cheek: "You think it's so beautiful, the official wants your whole family to accompany my son to the funeral." ”
He provoked Lin's chin again: "The charm is still there, it is in line with the taste of the official, if you want to come to the woman to kill first, it must be very energetic......"
"My lord spares her life, the old woman is unfilial and has committed all kinds of sins, and the old woman is completely unaware of it." Lin's flower looked pale.
"Don't worry, it's not your turn yet. Come on, come over with a cauldron. ”
Li He looked at Du Ji and said with a hideous smile: "You killed my son, right?" This official is very fair, and today he cooked your son in front of you, so that you can also experience the pain of losing a child! ”
"Old horseman, you can't die well, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Du Yi struggled desperately, but it was just in vain, so he could only watch his son being taken away, set up a cauldron, and the firewood below was jumping around, burning and exploding, and the water vapor was steaming in the air.
"My lord, the water is now boiling and boiling."
Li He laughed at Du Ji: "You also know heartache? This officer empathizes with you. Your eyes widen a little more, so that you can see clearly, and see how your son cooks it, and I will definitely reward you with a piece of the pie. ”
"Don't! No! Du Yi shook his head again and again, "Lord Li, I beg you, let my son go, I swear that I am willing to do anything for you!" ”
"Would you like anything?" Li He smiled and said: "Very good, then you sacrifice your son and let the official cook it!" ”
He teased the little baby: "Little guy, you had a big life last time, and Miss Zou saved you, I don't know if this time, you can pick up a life." ”
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zou Changxi shouted: "Wait! Master Li, the little woman knows who the real murderer is, and the two of them are just acting on orders, little minions! ”
