Chapter 273: Murder on a Snowy Night

When Miao Peilan heard what he said, she remembered that she had taken off her clothes, hugged him, and hugged his face in her arms. Finally knew what he wanted to do, smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "That time was to save you, but now ......, we haven't gotten married yet, and we're in the Buddha Hall, so we can't be like that......"

Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "Alas, forget it, it's okay, it's cold anyway." ”

Miao Peilan burst out laughing, paused, reached over, hugged him into her warm arms, and said shyly: "It's ...... like this, okay?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang took advantage of the situation to hug her delicate body, and gently rubbed his face on her plump and bullet **. Then he slowly reached under the hem of her shirt and grabbed her firm breasts that had nowhere to hide.

Miao Peilan gasped in a low voice, and muttered: "Brother, don't be like this, this is ......, it's a Buddha Hall......

"I'm like this, and if I don't move, I'm ......"

As soon as he said this, he heard a man's scream from the back of the hall, followed by a woman's terrified scream. The two were taken aback, Miao Peilan got up, took out the firewood knife from the basket next to her, and stared nervously at the apse.

At this time, the woman screamed, "Help! Come on! ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "It's not good, it's okay, go and see!" ”

Miao Peilan hesitated slightly, handed the firewood knife in her hand to Zuo Shaoyang, took out the medicine hoe from the back basket, and rushed out of the back door of the hall like an arrow. Following the sound, he rushed to the left side of the main hall.

The wind and snow are bigger than before. Through the reflection of the snow, she saw a big-breasted woman naked under the side porch, with her dress hidden in her towering chest, crouching in horror behind the pillar, looking at the dark night in the distance. A few steps away from her, there was a man lying face down with the same **, with a sharp arrow stuck in the back of his head!

Miao Peilan exclaimed, subconsciously blushing and hurriedly turned her head back: "What's the matter?" ”

"Murderer! Murder, murderer! The big-breasted woman screamed in horror as she pointed to the night.

Miao Peilan flew out of the side hall and chased into the night.

The big-breasted woman shouted, "Be careful! The murderer has a bow and arrow! ”

Miao Peilan immediately remembered their missing bow and arrow, dodged, and hid behind a big tree. This is a vegetable field, only a few trees scattered and scattered, the field of vision is relatively wide, although the snow is fluttering, but through the reflection of the snow, you can see more than ten steps away, but further away, it is covered by the night and the wind and snow.

Miao Peilan first observed the tree, there was no one, and then used the big tree as a cover, moved forward quickly, and kept her heart on until she came to the fence wall, but still did not find anything abnormal.

At this moment, I heard Zuo Shaoyang's anxious voice behind me: "Lan'er! Lan'er, come back! ”

Miao Peilan used the big tree as cover again and ran back to the side of the main hall.

Under the corridor, Liao Chan stood beside Zuo Shaoyang with a lantern. Soon, the old man and Ding Xiaosan both ran over from the front of the main hall and asked in horror, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

The squatting big-breasted woman had already wrapped her dress around her body, and squatted on the ground with her shoulders crossed and cried.

Zuo Shaoyang put the crutches and firewood knife beside him, squatted down to inspect the corpse of the ** man, and saw that the sharp arrow was hit in the back of the head, his heart sank, and the arrow in the back of the head had almost no chance of survival. Reached out and touched his carotid artery, and sure enough, there was no pulse.

He stood up and saw Miao Peilan running back from the wind and snow, so he quickly pulled her over, blocked behind him, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

"I didn't see anyone, the fog was too big, and it was dark. - Are people still alive? ”

"It's dead."

"Who is it?"

"The husband of the couple who came first."

Zen looked up at Fengxue and said in a deep voice, "I'll take a look!" He walked out of the porch with the lantern and walked in the direction where the big-breasted woman pointed out that the murderer had fled.

Miao Peilan said: "I'll cover the master!" He rushed out and followed Zen, nervously searching around.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Be careful! Look out for footprints underground, as well as in the trees! ”

"Good!" Miao Peilan carefully searched the trees and underground again.

Ding Xiaosan picked a stone from the ground and ran up to follow the search. The old man hesitated for a moment, then picked a stone and followed.

At this moment, the young woman rushed over from the front hall, and saw that the corpse of the ** lying on the ground was her husband, and she knelt down with a bang, hugged the corpse and cried bitterly.

After a while, the soldier came running in a panic, with a single knife in his hand, and looked around in panic: "What's the matter?" I heard someone screaming, what's wrong? ”

"This man was shot dead with an arrow! They're looking for the killer, aren't you going to help? ”

"So, go! Of course you have to go! The soldier stepped out of the corridor, stood again, stretched out his hand to draw the knife, pulled it twice, couldn't pull it out, and scolded and said: "This damn broken knife, but it is rusty at this time, delaying Lao Tzu to go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang picked up the firewood knife and handed it over: "Oh, use this first." ”

"Why don't you go ...... if you have a hatchet?" Seeing that he was on crutches, the soldier took the firewood knife in a hurry, walked out of the porch, stopped one step at a time, shrunk his head and followed a few of them from a distance, looking around and ready to scatter at any time.

They carried lanterns and searched along the fence wall of the mountain temple in the wind and snow, but they did not dare to go too far, for fear that the enemy would divert them from the mountain, and after the search, they found nothing, and no footprints were found on the ground -- such a big wind and snow, it would not take a moment for the footprints on the ground to be covered.

After they came back, Zuo Shaoyang said: "Let's carry people into the main hall first." ”

Everyone covered the corpse of the ** with the man's clothes, the soldier and Ding Xiaosan carried the corpse, and Liao Chan and the old man helped to carry the corpse to the main hall.

Zuo Shaoyang whispered a few words in Miao Peilan's ear, and Miao Peilan nodded.

The corpse was carried into the main hall and put down, and at this moment, Miao Peilan grabbed the handle of the single knife on the soldier's waist, pulled it out with a swish, took two steps back, and protected it in front of Zuo Shaoyang.

"What are you doing?" The soldier said angrily, rushed forward, and saw that Miao Peilan had already drawn out the single knife, pointing at him, and hurriedly stood again. Pointing at her and shouting, "Give me back the knife at once!" You are robbing the ordnance, it is a capital crime! ”

"Who committed the capital offense?" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly: "You don't have a red scarf around your neck, it should be an official of the imperial court, right?" If you run away, you are truly guilty of a capital crime! Everybody gets it! We will take your sword and take you back, only merit, what is the sin? ”

The soldier said sharply, "What did you say? Why do you say I'm a deserter? ”

"Nonsense! You're not a deserter, so why did you run to this hilltop temple to hide and receive relief? You should go down the mountain and kill the enemy? Down the hill is the enemy. ”

"I'm ......" The soldier suddenly softened, squatted on the ground, and arched his hand: "Big brother, let me go, I'm starving to death if I don't have anything to eat, I don't want to desert, I'll starve to death." ”

"I don't care about your desertion, but now there is a murder in the temple, this Guigu Peak is surrounded by cliffs, and there is only one suspension bridge connected to the outside, and there are only ten of us on the mountain, so the murderer must be among us!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone subconsciously took a step back and stared at the people around them vigilantly. Miao Peilan took a step closer, next to Zuo Shaoyang, with a single knife in her hand across her chest, staring at the deserter vigilantly.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I'm with my sister-in-law, and I know that the two of us are not murderers, so the murderer is one of you!" Everyone is suspicious, and I must unload your weapon before I can investigate the real culprit! ”

The old man on the side asked Zuo Shaoyang in a cold voice: "Little brother is the yamen catcher?" ”

"It's not."

"Didn't you catch some murderer?"

"If you don't catch the murderer quickly, you can't catch the murderer? The yamen also encouraged the people to bring the murderer to justice, right? If I don't find out the real culprit, how can I twist it? ”

Hearing the old man question Zuo Shaoyang's qualifications to arrest the murderer, the deserter seemed to have found an alliance, and immediately shouted: "Twist and send it to the case, that is also knowing who the murderer is, and now I don't know the murderer, you should go to the yamen to report the case!" Why do you have to check the murderer yourself? ”

"Just with the knife in my sister's hand! My sister has killed more than 30 enemies, who is not convinced? You can come up and try it. ”

The so-called power is the truth, Zuo Shaoyang's words suddenly made the deserters and the old man dare not speak anymore.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "The yamen not only encourages the people to turn the murderer to the case, but also never prohibits the people from investigating the case on their own, and finds out that the murderer is sent to the yamen. Now the murderer is by our side, if it is in the city inn, I pat my ass and leave, I don't bother to care about this shit, but now I am on the top of the lonely peak, I have a leg injury, the night of ice and snow is dark, it is difficult to go down the mountain, I can only stay on this peak, we will inevitably face the threat of the murderer, the murderer may kill one after another, we don't want to be the next victim, in order to protect ourselves, we can only find out the real murderer. ”

The deserter muttered, "Anyway, you have a knife in your hand, so whatever you say." ”

Ding Xiaosan said: "I think Young Master Zuo is right, the real murderer must be arrested, everyone is safe, unless you yourself are the murderer, there is no reason to oppose the arrest of the murderer!" ”

Liao Chan clasped his hands together and said: "Master Ding is right, this is the first time that Xiaosi has encountered such a thing, and the real culprit must be found out and sent to the government." He can't be allowed to do evil again. ”

The deserter said: "Okay, I'm not a murderer, what am I afraid of, check it out and see who is the real murderer, but if there is a suspicion, everyone is suspicious, and you can't say that if you are not a murderer, you are not!" If you want to check, everyone has to check! ”

"Okay, then wait a while, let's start with me first." Zuo Shaoyang said, turned around and asked Zen: "Master, after the suspension bridge is pulled up, can the person on the other side still put down the suspension bridge and come over?" ”

"No, I can't. This drawbridge was designed and built by the brother I built the cellar mechanism. Those who pull up the suspension bridge from the opposite side may lower the suspension bridge from both sides. And if you pull up the suspension bridge from this side, then there is no way to lower the suspension bridge from the opposite side. In other words, when we come over and pull up the suspension bridge, the people on the other side can't put down the suspension bridge. ”
