Chapter 266: He's the Man Last Night

The sentry soldiers carried Liu Bian's bed to Diao Chan's room, and Liu Wei slept next to the corner of the wall on the bed that the soldiers had laid for him.

Since he had not slept for almost the whole night the night before, after lying down for a while, Liu Wei let out a soft snoring sound and fell into a sweet sleep.

It's strange to say, Liu Wei moved the cover to the house, Diao Chan was really much more stable, and after lying down on the cover, he didn't make any more noise about someone in the house, and he fell asleep sweetly after a while.

The quiet night passed quickly, and when the morning light penetrated into the house through the window, Liu Wei, who was asleep, faintly heard a faint noise outside.

The noise was very hazy, but it was continuous, Liu Wei got up, walked quickly to the window and looked outside.

The two soldiers on duty were standing in the courtyard, their ears bent, as if they were listening to something. From time to time, the two soldiers would talk in a whisper.

Standing at the window, Liu Wei could hear a commotion coming from a distance, as if many people were running and howling in Chang'an City, although the distance was far away and could not be heard really, but the noise was real.

Because he slept in the same room with Diao Chan, when Liu Wei slept at night, he did not take off his clothes, but just slept with his clothes. Lying on the bed cover all night, his clothes were already crumpled, he reached out and pulled the hem of his clothes, tore them a little smoother, and glanced at Diao Chan, who was still sleeping sweetly.

When a woman is the most beautiful, it is not when she smiles like a flower in front of everyone with heavy makeup, but when she has just come out of the bath and is asleep. The sleeping Diao Chan's little face was flushed, and as she breathed, the delicate little nose also moved gently, adding a bit of grace to her delicate appearance.

Looking at Diao Chan in his sleep, Liu Wei smiled slightly, secretly glad that he didn't give such a lovely jade person to Dong Zhuo.

Raising his feet and walking out of the room, Liu Wei beckoned to the two soldiers who were standing in the courtyard, called them, and waited until the two approached before asking them: "When did it get up outside?" ”

"It's time for five watches!" A personal soldier hugged his fists and bowed in response, and said to Liu Wei: "Listening to the movement, it seems that there are many soldiers and horses searching for them in the city, and we are worried that our whereabouts will be exposed when we go out to investigate, so I didn't go out without permission, just wait for His Highness to wake up and then let His Highness decide." ”

"Don't bother!" Looking up at the courtyard wall, Liu Wei said to the two soldiers: "When everyone wakes up, dig a big pit outside the house where the body was found yesterday, and bury the body first." As for the outside, as long as it's not too close, I don't have to pay attention to it! ”

"No!" The two pro-soldiers clasped their fists and bowed in response, and then stood beside Liu Bian, looking at the wall in the courtyard like Liu Bian.

At this moment, Lu Bu was leading a team of Xiliang troops to rampage through the market, searching everywhere for the traces of Liu Wei and others.

In the evening of the first day, as soon as Dong Zhuo left Situ's mansion, Wang Yun sent someone to invite Lu Bu to the mansion according to Liu Wei's instructions, and informed Lu Bu that Dong Zhuo came to the mansion, and Wang Yun asked Diao Chan to serve tea as his future daughter-in-law, but he didn't want to be favored by Dong Zhuo.

Regarding Wang Yun's statement, Lu Bu was suspicious at first, and even suspected that Wang Yun was provoking his relationship with Dong Zhuo, and almost drew his sword and killed Wang Yun. But later Wang Yun said that when Dong Zhuo took Diao Chan away under the pretext of taking Diao Chan to Xiangguo Mansion first and remarrying Lu Bu on an auspicious day, the suspicion in Lu Bu's heart became a little thicker.

With doubts and the expectation that Dong Zhuo would really marry Diao Chan to him, Lu Bu left Situ Mansion, he was thinking about whether to probe Dong Zhuo's tone, but he didn't want to get the news that Dong Zhuo had been assassinated and that the assassin had robbed Diao Chan.

Liu Wei only took a few dozen people, and chased Dong Zhuo, who had hundreds of guards, in Chang'an City. Dong Zhuo, who felt that he had lost face, thought that if Lu Bu was by his side the night before, he would definitely not be so embarrassed, and he was annoyed in his heart, as soon as he saw Lu Bu who greeted him, Dong Zhuo scolded Lu Bu with his head and face, and ordered him to immediately launch a search, and he must find Liu Wei and others.

Lu Bu, who wanted to greet Dong Zhuo and take the opportunity to inquire about Diao Chan's situation, was scolded by Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't say what he had thought about in his heart, so he had to lead the troops to search Chang'an City with suspicion and shame.

The market in Chang'an City was almost turned upside down by the Xiliang Army led by Lu Bu, and even some people hid at home, but they could not avoid the harassment of the Xiliang Army. Many women were abused by the Xiliang army in the name of searching for King Hongnong, and some people, whose families were already poor, were still robbed of the last ration by the Xiliang army.

In Chang'an City, chickens and dogs jumped for a while, and there were Xiliang troops who broke into people's houses everywhere, and there were also cries and pleadings of civilians everywhere.

Compared with the people in Chang'an City, Liu Wei brought them into the city under the pretext of selling grain, and the soldiers who lived in the pavilion were much luckier.

The Xiliang army entered the building to search, such a pro-soldier did not feel sorry for the food, according to Liu Wei's instructions, they took the initiative to take out the grain to bribe the Xiliang army, which was seriously short of food, but they kept a bit of peace.

Riding a horse on the bluestone road in the city, Lu Bu frowned tightly, and a pair of eyes kept patrolling the streets of the city.

At this time, he had just been scolded by Dong Zhuo, and he was robbed of Diao Chan again. finally met a woman he liked, but suddenly there was no news, and the anger in Lu Bu's chest almost seemed to swallow the entire Chang'an City.

"Search! Search carefully! Riding a tall red rabbit horse, Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and shouted to the Xiliang army running back and forth on the street: "Order the officers and soldiers guarding the city, strictly guard the city gate, don't let King Hongnong escape!" ”

Groups of Xiliang soldiers in black armor ran back and forth on the streets, each of them looking in a hurry, looking around for a possible hiding place for Liu Wei and others.

I don't know what the reason is, the entire Chang'an City is the Xiliang Army, but near the house where Liu Wei and the others are hiding, there is not even a Xiliang Army who went to investigate.

There was a commotion in the city, and Liu Wei, who had already gotten up, stood outside the room where the dead bodies were found with his hands in his hands after the soldiers woke up, watching a group of soldiers digging a big pit.

Dozens of soldiers sweated like rain and dug for a long time before digging a deep pit large enough to bury twenty or thirty people outside the hard soil.

"Your Highness, the deep pit has been dug up, please show it to Your Highness!" After digging a deep pit, a personal soldier stood in front of Liu Wei with his hands in fists and asked him for instructions on his next move.

"Remove the body from the house and bury it in the pit!" Looking down at the wide and deep pit, Liu Wei gave an order to the pro-soldier.

"No!" The soldiers answered, beckoned to the other soldiers, stepped forward and opened the door, and walked into the house full of dead bodies.

The decomposing corpses were carried out by the soldiers, and when they carried the corpses, the soldiers tore strips of cloth from their clothes and wrapped them around their hands to avoid direct contact with the corpses, but even so, the foul smell still smoked their necks.

The night before, when he entered the room and saw the corpses, Liu Wei only noticed that the corpses were decomposed. The soldiers carried the corpses out of the house and threw them into the deep pit, and Liu Weicai, who was standing outside the pit, noticed that almost all the corpses were dripping with a yellowish liquid, and the stench was the yellow water that had been turned into rotten body tissues.

There were already five or six corpses thrown into the pit, and the snow-white maggots wriggled in the corpses and the pit, but Liu Wei, who was standing on the edge of the pit, never found the child's body. He furrowed his brows slightly, and asked the two soldiers who had just thrown a corpse into the pit, "Are there any children in the house?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" A personal soldier wrapped his hand in a thick linen cloth, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "The light in the house is very dim, but I can still see the corpses of adult men and women, and there are no children......

After listening to the reply of the pro-soldier, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Deng Zhan on the side, and similarly, Deng Zhan also looked at him with a puzzled face.

When they saw the corpses the night before, he and Deng Zhan thought that this was a family that had been destroyed, but it was impossible for the family to be destroyed without children who had been killed. The child's body was not found, and there are only two possible explanations, either the family was strange, or the child was sent away long before he was destroyed.

No matter what the explanation, this family is definitely not an ordinary family, and there may be some secrets hidden in the house.

Almost all of the bodies were removed, and two soldiers untied the hanging body from the ropes hanging from the house and carried it out of the room.

"Brother!" Just when the two personal soldiers had just stepped out of the threshold carrying the corpse, because they had experienced the assassination of Dong Zhuo, and later they were frightened in the house, which caused Diao Chan to walk towards Liu Wei because of the assassination of Dong Zhuo.

Walking up to Liu Wei, Diao Chan just greeted him, and saw the corpse carried out of the room by the two personal soldiers, she exclaimed "ah", a pair of beautiful eyes instantly widened, and her eyes were suddenly full of fear.

First glanced at the corpse that was already very badly decomposed, but the face was faintly recognizable, Liu Wei then turned his head and asked Diao Chan, who was full of horror and was staring at the corpse tremblingly, "What's wrong?" ”

He ...... He ...... and pointed to the corpse that was carried by two personal soldiers and had not had time to throw it into the pit, Diao Chan's lips trembled, his eyes widened, and he said to Liu Wei tremblingly: "He is the man who entered the room last night!" ”

Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, Liu Wei, who had dealt with Yu Ji before and experienced some strange things, didn't dare to be careless when he heard Diao Chan say this, and hurriedly waved his hand at the two pro-soldiers and said to them: "Put the corpse down!" ”

The two pro-soldiers put the corpse on the ground with a stunned look on their faces, and looked at Liu Wei who walked in front of the corpse.

Looking down at the corpse that had rotted and its clothes had become tattered strips of cloth, Liu Wei reached out and tore off a piece of his shirt from his body, wrapped it in his hand, squatted next to the corpse, and turned over the clothes on the corpse.

Perhaps it had been dead for a long time, and the clothes on the corpse had just been turned a few times, and they were broken into small strips of cloth, some of which were glued to the flesh and skin, and when the strips of cloth were torn apart, the pieces of flesh and skin would be uncovered.

As Liu Wei flipped it, the flesh and skin of the corpse fell off piece by piece, emitting an even more unpleasant stench. The soldiers and Deng Zhan who were standing on the side all twisted their heads to the side, but Diao Chan was still staring at the broken corpse with frightened eyes, and couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.

I rummaged for a long time, but I didn't find any valuable clues from the corpse. Liu Wei waved his hand at the soldiers on the side, and motioned for the soldiers to throw the corpse into the pit.

The two pro-soldiers furrowed their brows and held their breath to lift the corpse, probably because the smell was too uncomfortable for them, and the expressions on their faces were very ugly.

With a dull thud, the corpse was thrown into the pit, where it lay quietly with the other corpses.

Anyone who had come into contact with the corpse, including Liu Wei, untied the sackcloth wrapped in his hand and threw it into the pit, and a group of soldiers began to fill the pit.

Seeing that the corpses were all covered under the soil, Liu Wei walked to Diao Chan's side, gently grabbed her arms, and said to her in a soft tone: "Don't be afraid, even if there are ghosts, as long as they enter the soil, they will not come out to entangle again." Where did you see the figure yesterday, and can you lead my brother to visit him? ”

Diao Chan, who still had a heavy horror on his face, trembled when he heard Liu Wei speak, looked at him stupidly, and after a while, he came back to his senses and nodded heavily, but he did not speak.
