Chapter 80: Rashomon

"It's definitely him! He is the murderer who killed Zhou Xiang! After getting up and replying to Zhou Fang, Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed to the murderer who was kicked to the ground and twitched, and explained in a low voice: "I saw from afar that a resentful ghost was circling around you, and I observed for a long time before I found out that the resentful ghost was looking for him!" ”

"Zhou Qing, you ...... You ......" As soon as Lu Yu's words fell, Zhou Ji, the brother of the Zhou Xiang and the chief housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, rushed towards the murderer Zhou Qing on the ground, raised his foot and stomped down towards Zhou Qing's front door.

"Hold him ......" After finding that the corners of Zhou Qing's mouth were cracked by Zhou Ji's stomping, Zhou Fang hurriedly shouted and ordered the subordinates he brought: "Don't make trouble......

"Yes...... The old man ...... "A group of people from the Zhou Mansion who were stunned by the unexpected incident just now, after hearing the shouts of their masters, immediately took action, and dragged the Zhou Mansion housekeeper back.

After all, the chief housekeeper Zhou Ji is already in his early forties, and he is the oldest "old man" present, so no matter how angry he struggles, he is not the opponent of eight or nine people, and soon, he was pressed back to the wooden pier where he was originally sitting by everyone.

At the same time, Zhou Chang, the delicate porter of the Zhou Mansion, also found a thick hemp rope out of nowhere and tied Zhou Qing on the ground to a crooked-necked dead tree next to him.

At this time, everyone present found that Zhou Qing, who was tied up, didn't know whether it was out of fear or out of shame, his head drooped, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at everyone, his body, hair, and face were full of dust rubbed from the ground, and the corners of his mouth that were stomped by Zhou Ji would drip out every once in a while, and on the ground under his head, a circle of "blood pools" the size of half a palm had accumulated.

At this moment, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Qing's chest was still rising and falling, he would really look like a dead man in his state at this moment.

Zhou Fang, who was still a little suspicious of Lu Yu's "revelations", suddenly ...... after observing Zhou Qing's demeanor

"Shuwen, this Zhou Qing is the procurement office of my house, and he is also the cousin of Zhou Ji and Zhou Xiang, you said that he is a murderer, this is ......" Although his heart was shaken, Zhou Fang, who was still unwilling to believe in this matter emotionally, muttered to Lu Yu.

"Big brother, you wait for a while, I'll ask the resentful ghost, and when I ask the whole story, I'll tell you again...... big brother" After turning his head and replying to Zhou Fang, Lu Yu raised his right palm and hooked his index finger towards the who was still following Zhou Qing, and asked him: "Come here, tell me how you died?" ”

He had long realized that the third young master of the Lu family could see him and heard Lu Yu's call, and after the came over, so Lu Yu and the started a conversation about the cause of his death, of course, no one present could hear what the said except Lu Yu.

At this moment, Zhou Fang and the people of the Zhou Mansion saw that the third young master of the Lu family was constantly talking to the "air" in front of him, and they felt a little hairy in their hearts when they saw this situation, and even they suddenly had the illusion that they were surrounded by ghosts.

Zhou Fang is okay, he has seen the world and is bold enough, but there are several people from the Zhou Mansion who are not bold enough, and their legs are weak for a while, and they all sit back on their respective wooden piers, with exaggerated "frightened" expressions on their faces.

Finally, after about two minutes, Lu Yu asked all the inside information about the murder case, of course, the "inside information" that Lu Yu knew was only the words of the Zhou Xiang, as for whether the Zhou Xiang was talking nonsense, then Lu Yu was not clear.

After finishing the inquiry, Lu Yu let out a long sigh, and then turned his head to Zhou Fang and said, "Big brother, let's sit down and talk ......."

After Zhou Fang sat down, Lu Yu, who was sitting next to him, said: "Here's the thing, isn't Zhou Qing the eldest brother of your family's procurement, when he was buying goods, he did something and took back the deduction, and this matter was discovered by your account office Zhou Xiang, so he was going to report this matter to you, however, this matter was discovered by Zhou Qing, so he ......"

"Any evidence?" The smart Zhou Fang, after listening to Lu Yu's brief retelling of the murder case, asked a very crucial question.

"There are a lot, but there are two ...... of evidence that is enough to make Zhou Qing pay for his life" After turning his head and glancing at Zhou Qing who was tied up with five flowers with a disdainful face, Lu Yu replied to Zhou Fang: "The first evidence is that after Zhou Qing drunk Zhou Xiang in the big tent and pushed him into the water and drowned, he found all the evidence that Zhou Xiang wanted to denounce him, and hid it in the brick crack under the bed board in his room; The second evidence is that Zhou Qing also hid a letter that Zhou Xiang sent to his mother, and the letter was also in the brick crack, as for why he hid the letter that did not belong to him, that would have to ask him......"

"Since Zhou Xiang found out about Zhou Qing's kickbacks, why didn't he tell Zhou Ji about it, Zhou Ji is his own brother?" After listening to Lu Yu's answer, Zhou Fang asked again puzzled.

"Either he didn't have time, or he had another purpose, as for what purpose...... I won't guess, after all, this is a matter of your mansion, big brother, I am an outsider, ......" Lu Yu did not give a clear answer to Zhou Fang's question.

Although the Zhou Xiang didn't tell why he didn't tell his brother Zhou Ji about Zhou Qing's kickbacks, Lu Yu, who has a lot of experience, has already guessed a possible answer, that is, it is very likely that Zhou Xiang and Zhou Qing are in a group, and they are both eating kickbacks......

"Ha, ha, ha......" Just when Zhou Fang lowered his eyes and thought about what Lu Yu didn't dare to guess, Zhou Qing, who had pretended to be dead for a long time, suddenly laughed and said: "Zhou Qing is not a good Dingxi, he has been taking kickbacks, I just did it once, he bit me and asked me to spit out the money, he also said that if I don't spit out the money, he will sue me to the master, I wanted to sue him for kickbacks before him, but I can't find evidence......"

"Hmph...... ......After laughing miserably, Zhou Qing then scolded: "He is unkind, I can only be unjust, I took the opportunity to spit out the money to him, drunk him, and then ...... Watching him struggle in the water made me feel so much more comfortable......"

"Shut up!" After hearing that Zhou Qing began to rage against his own brother Zhou Xiang, Zhou Ji, the chief housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, who had finally stopped for a while, was angry again, however, before he could "break out", he was held down by the surrounding people again.

"Brute!" Zhou Fang, who was so angry that his eyes were on fire, rushed to Zhou Qing's side, scolded, and punched him in the chest one by one, and Zhou Qing was about to vomit blood.

After Zhou Qing's own "revelations" just now, Zhou Fang at this moment can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, he said in his heart: Dare to love, kill his own account room Zhou Xiang, it is really his own procurement Zhou Qing, and the dead ghost account room Zhou Xiang is not a good Dingxi, he has been ......

"Zhou Jin!" Zhou Fang, who was so angry that he shouted hoarsely, yelled at another domestic servant behind him.

"It's the old man......" After hearing his master yelling at himself, the servant named Zhou Jin, who had just been weak, quickly stood up from the wooden pier and asked in a low voice, "...... do you command?"
