Chapter 61: The Truth Behind It
The leader was an old man in his seventies, wearing a black Tang suit, and everyone called him the fourth uncle.
And the hostess of the previous hotel was among them.
These people all have weapons in their hands.
The thugs exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" ”
The fourth uncle said coldly: "Come if you want, leave if you want, what do you think of me as a place here?" ”
Ye Simei sneered: "Sure enough, as I expected, the gold and silver treasures you wear on the paper people are actually just a bait, in order to lure the thief to steal, and then sacrifice the thief to those spirits, right?" ”
The fourth uncle did not shy away from it, and said: "More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors built Yizhuang here, originally to appease the souls of the undead who died miserably. Unexpectedly, they were not grateful at all, but instead made trouble in the town. My eldest brother died at their hands when he was only four years old. ”
"My father had no choice but to give them a lot of tribute, just to spare our family. Unexpectedly, one night, a thief entered Yizhuang to steal tribute, and was killed by these spirits, and the town was peaceful for a long time. ”
"At that time, we knew that they had to be sacrificed regularly, or the people of our town would suffer."
Ye Simei's face was gloomy, and she said, "For so many years, you have killed a lot of people, right?" ”
The fourth uncle said indifferently: "Anyway, they are all people with bad intentions, and they themselves can't withstand the temptation to fall into the net, so it's no wonder that others." ”
He showed a look of nostalgia and said: "When the war was in chaos, there were many people who came to steal tribute, as long as you put more food here, you can attract a lot of sacrifices." Now that everyone has food and drink, we have to come up with more bait. ”
Ye Simei smiled and said, "You guys are really calculating. Presumably, you deliberately went to the county town to spread the news that there was a lot of gold and silver treasure here, and tempted others to send it to your door, right? ”
The fourth uncle was not only not ashamed, but proud, pointing to those gangsters and saying: "They are just some social dregs, and it is a scourge to survive, and I will bring them to get rid of them, and I will also eliminate them for the people." ”
He took a step forward and said, "In a word, I didn't tie them up, everything is their own choice, and they can't complain about others." ”
The gangsters were shocked and angry, and said: "Although we don't usually do anything good, we are not heinous, and our sins do not lead to death, you guys, you are so ruthless!" ”
"What you sow, you reap." The fourth uncle didn't even look at them, and said, "Since you have already chosen this path, you should die." ”
Ye Simei smiled and said, "There is some truth in that. ”
The thugs looked desperate.
Ye Simei continued: "Now that we know your secret, I guess you won't allow us to leave, right? ”
The fourth uncle showed a kind expression and said, "We have all seen what happened just now, little brother, you are a powerful person, you helped us get rid of these spirits, we all have to thank you." You can take all these treasures with you, even if we give you a thank you gift. ”
Ye Simei nodded at those gangsters with her chin and said, "What about them?" ”
The fourth uncle smiled gloomily and said, "Them? They're just a bunch of gangsters, and without them, it's a good thing for this society. You know what I mean, right? ”
Ye Simei understood, they were trying to kill people.
The gangsters' faces turned pale, and they hurriedly said: "Hero, hero, don't leave us behind, as long as you save us this time, we will definitely repay you as cattle and horses......"
Ye Simei glared at them and shouted, "Shut up!" ”
Several people were too frightened to speak.
Ye Simei looked at the fourth uncle and said with a smile: "You gave me so much money, in fact, it is hush money, and it is also to drag me into the water." As long as I collect the money, I will be your accomplice, and I will not be able to tell your secrets. Fourth uncle, you are really an old man. ”
The fourth uncle laughed and said, "Little brother, I really appreciate you more and more. Since they are all smart people, then let's open the skylight and say something bright, you take the money and leave, and we will clear up, how about it? ”
"Not how." Ye Simei shook her head and said.
The fourth uncle's face sank, and he said, "Little brother, do you really want to give up so much gold and silver treasures for these little gangsters." ”
"No, no, no." Ye Simei shook her index finger and said, "I want gold and silver treasures, and I will take these people away." ”
The fourth uncle narrowed his eyes and said, "Little brother, people should be content." ”
Ye Simei sneered and said, "I helped you get rid of the spirit monsters that have been in trouble for many years, and this money was originally the reward you should give me." It's only natural that I take it away. And these people are also saved by me, they are also my trophies, only I have the right to decide their life and death, when will it be your turn to negotiate terms with me? ”
The gangsters nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, we are already heroes, no, big brother's people." Life is the big brother's man, death is the big brother's dead man! Even if you want to die, you can only die at the hands of your eldest brother. ”
Ye Simei was speechless and scolded: "Shut up!" What big brother is not big brother? I'm not an underworld, call me Ye Dashao. ”
"Yes, yes." These thugs were very good, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes." From now on, Ye Dashao is our master, Ye Dashao told us to go east, and we will never go west. ”
Ye Simei had a headache and wanted to throw these people down and leave by herself.
The fourth uncle sneered: "Little brother, have you thought about it, do you really want to protect them?" ”
The gangsters looked at Ye Simei with expectant eyes.
Ye Simei said: "I am a decent family and a righteous person, you want to kill people in front of me, and let me go along with you and dream!" ”
The fourth uncle's face was completely gloomy, and he said, "Since this is the case, don't blame us for being ruthless." ”
He pestled the cane in his hand on the ground and said, "Beat me to death!" ”
The people who came were all some young people from the town, and they rushed up and were directly kicked away by Ye Simei.
When the others saw this, they all showed shocked expressions and hesitated to move.
The fourth uncle said angrily: "Aren't you a decent family? Actually do it to innocent people? ”
"Innocent?" Ye Simei scoffed, "You touch your conscience and ask yourself if you are innocent?" Oh, I forgot, since you started killing people and sacrificing ghosts and gods, you are no longer innocent. ”
She looked at her coldly and said, "Do you know how Ling Chi's punishment came about?" It is because there were people in the Song Dynasty who killed people to sacrifice ghosts and gods, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty said that it is not enough to be angry with the people! ”
