Chapter 30: The Truth Revealed
When Suo Suha confessed here, Huang Baishan, who was in charge of recording next to him, suddenly interjected: "The Tuoheqi you are talking about should be the current commander of the infantry army, Lord Tuoheqi, right?" Do you know what he had a secret conversation with Governor Hu? ”
"Although we are Governor Hu's personal guards, Governor Hu didn't let our brothers accompany us at that time, and Master Tuoheqi also cleared the guards he brought, so we don't know what they were talking about?" Sosuha replied lightly.
Liu Hua was very unhappy that Huang Baishan interrupted Suosuha's confession, but because of the big family, even if he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Liu Hua had to suppress it, and seeing that Huang Baishan finished asking, Liu Hua asked Susuha to continue to tell about their crimes.
After a moment of silence, Susuha continued: "Just when I was leading a few brothers and was about to climb over the wall, suddenly, the fourth, seventh, and eighth came in from outside.
After they came in, I found that the fourth and eighth were carrying two women on their shoulders, and these four women were the four women who abused them in Douyanfang during the day.
When the four women were thrown to the ground, I saw that their hands were tied and their mouths were stuffed with cloth.
But just as I was reprimanding a few people, the four women took the opportunity to stand up, and after spitting out the cloth in their mouths, they ran around frantically, crying and shouting for help.
Seeing this, I didn't care about reprimanding the eight and a few of them, and hurriedly asked the brothers to arrest them separately, but because it was dark night, there were too many sundries in the courtyard of the Wu house, and under the stumbling, the four women actually fled to the door of the Wu house.
Because the deadbolt of the Wu house was locked on the outside, they couldn't open the courtyard door at all, and when they saw us surrounding us, the four women wept loudly and begged us to let them go.
At this moment, I heard footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly asked my brothers to cover the mouths of the four women to prevent them from making noise, and then I put my ear to the door and listened, and then I realized that the people outside were attracted by the cries of the four women.
Fortunately, those people outside the door, because they believed in ghosts and gods, thought that this was a haunted inside the Wu Mansion, although those people heard the cry of a woman in the courtyard, but no one dared to come in to check, but they were all scared away.
After the people outside the door were gone, I wanted to knock those women unconscious, and then take them out of the house and throw them on the side of the road, but I didn't expect that when someone came from outside the Wu Mansion just now, the two brothers who were responsible for covering the mouths of the four women actually covered the four women to death because of too much force.
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, it was useless for me to get angry, so I ordered a few of them to move the bodies of the four women into a side room closest to the gate, and then buried the bodies of the four women in the fire, fearing that they were not dead, I used iron claws to mend a few claws for them, completely cutting off their vitality.
After hiding the body, I was still a little uneasy, so I joined forces with my brothers to collapse the roof of the side house, so that the fire kang was covered with a layer of tiles and beams, and even if someone came to inspect the Wu house afterwards, they would not inspect the house.
Moreover, those women are all people in the Fengyue place, with a lowly status, even if they are missing, the ** there will not dare to report to the official, as long as they don't go to the official, you will not think of the crying in the Wu Mansion, which was made by the four women in the dust.
After doing all this, a few of us planned to leave the Wu Mansion and go back to the Governor's Mansion to resume our lives, but because we heard the sound of a woman crying from the Wu Mansion, many of us ran to the peach blossom forest next to the Wu Mansion to hide.
It is estimated that those people think that the peach tree branches have the effect of warding off evil spirits, so they all hide in the peach blossom forest to ward off evil spirits, some people sit on the peach tree, some people are full of peach branches, and some people carve a statue of Guanyin on the peach tree, anyway, it is a variety of forms, there are everything.
Because these people entered the Peach Blossom Forest, we couldn't get out of Lu at all, and we were worried that we would be discovered by those people, so in desperation, we had to spend the night in Wu's house, planning to wait for those people to leave tomorrow, and then we would withdraw from Lu.
But I didn't expect that the next day, when it was still dawn, more than a dozen officials actually came to Wu's house, and we didn't want to meet those officials, but one of the officials had too poisonous eyes, and he saw us from afar.
After killing the officials, I was going to bury the bodies of the officials, but when I was carrying the corpses, I happened to find the words "ghostly things" under the corpse of one of the officials.
It is estimated that the official saw the grimace mask on our faces, and was afraid of Wu Zhai, and mistook us for ghosts, seeing this, I will use my iron claws to scratch the wounds on the corpses of those officials one by one, and fake the illusion that they have been scratched by the claws of some kind of monster. ”
At this time, Huang Baishan asked with some confusion: "Mask? Why do you wear masks with you? Also, when those officials saw the masks on your faces, why did they mistake you for ghosts? ”
Glancing at Huang Baishan, Liu Hua answered his question: "Lord Prefect, in fact, the reason is very simple, the eight Suoha brothers had a name in the rivers and lakes before they returned to Governor Hu------- Ghost Face Bahao.
The reason why they mixed up this title was because every time the eight of them robbed their homes, they would wear a mask with a grimace, and over time, they had the name of the Eight Heroes with Grimaces, and some people on the rivers and lakes called them the Eight Evils with Grimaces.
The officials who were ordered to go to the Wu Mansion to inspect the mansion that day must have seen the eight of them wearing grimace masks, plus someone reported the case before, saying that the Wu Mansion was haunted, and those preconceived officials, in this context, mistakenly regarded the eight of them as ghosts thrown out of the Netherworld. ”
"I see." Hearing Liu Hua's explanation, Huang Baishan nodded slightly, and then looked at Suosuha: "Suosuha, you go on, what happened?" ”
After hearing this, Sosuha smiled noncommittally: "Later? Didn't you all know the Tao later? After killing those officials, our brothers left Yangzhou Mansion and ran to Shuixiang City.
It was already noon, and the eight of us brothers went to a restaurant to eat, and after eating, the other brothers went down to settle the bill, and I sat in the restaurant for a while because I was greedy for a cup, and then these two boys also appeared in the restaurant.
I saw that the two of them were young but generous, so I treated them as fat sheep, and I wanted to do a vote, but I didn't think about it, but I put myself in, alas...... It's too late to regret. ”
Seeing Suo Suha with a depressed face, Liu Hua smiled lightly, and then said lightly: "Suo Suha, you have confessed to the murder of eight of your brothers in the Wu Mansion, and so far, the case of the ghost house has been closed."
But there's one more thing I want you to say. Why did Commander Heqi care so much about the letter in Zeng Jing's hand? Others may not know about this issue, but as the chief personal guard of Governor Hu, you must know the secret of Lu Dao, tell it, maybe this secret can save your life......"
