The beads waved their little arms, slapped the carriage vigorously, and shouted to stop.

The coachman didn't know what was happening, and in the middle of the night there was a long cry, and the pace of the two fast horses slowed down.

Duan Chu hurriedly reached out and held the beads in his arms and covered her small mouth.

He lifted the curtain in front of him again and said to the coachman, "It's all right, she has nightmares and dreams." ”

The coachman shook his head, pinched his face vigorously to drive away the sleepiness, and continued to catch up with the carriage.

Although Master Qian is just a low-grade official, he has been rolling in officialdom for a long time, and he is also an old vixen, so he has long seen what Zhu Zi is worried about, but he has not broken it.

Zhu Zi tried hard to break Duan Chu's hand, but she couldn't break it.

"Master Duan, this death row prisoner must be executed a year ago, otherwise it will be difficult to do after the New Year, the people of Zhongwu County have been running around for days, and they have invited a lot of rescuers, and I haven't slept for two days."

Speaking of this, the money master book yawned.

"It's a long night, I have to sleep first when my eyelids fight, and I won't chat with my brother and sister, and it's best for the Duan class master to go to bed early, so that when I get to the place tomorrow, I don't have the energy to wield the ghost head knife."

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, he really closed his eyes.

After a while, the sound of snoring came softly.

It seems that Master Qian is not lying, and he is indeed sleepy and tired now.

Only then did Duan Chu let go of the hand holding the beads.

Zhu Zi gasped for breath and pinched Duan Chu hard: "The surname Duan, you are so ruthless, you want to cover me to death!" ”

"Who told you to make a fuss about it, but let the carriage stop." Duan Chu let her pinch it.

"If you don't say that you are ruthless, tomorrow at noon at three o'clock, the knife will fall, and it will not be your head that falls!"

"Cousin, don't worry, my head won't fall off, your head won't fall off, it will only fall off, it can only be the head of a death row prisoner, and as a cousin, you are no longer allowed to call me Duan!"

After Duan Chu finished saying this, seeing that the wine gourd was leaning on the side and was fine, he held the ghost head knife in his arms, and then closed his eyes.

He knew the importance of recuperation, so he slept faster than Master Qian.

The beads didn't dare to jump out of the car, so they opened the curtain and asked the coachman.

"Big brother, that weird death row inmate, you know?"

The coachman was sleepy, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Little girl, no one in the entire Zhongwu County knows about this matter! Oops, that guy is really evil, the last executioner was invited from Taiyuan Mansion, and guess what? ”

"Could it be that the executioner fell the knife in Zhongwu County, and his relatives in Taiyuan Mansion died with him?"

"Who's to say it isn't! Zhongwu County to Taiyuan Mansion, a full 2,000 miles, such a long journey, but the executioner's only son did not hide from it, and the head fell to the ground so miserable. ”

Hearing the driver's answer, the beads completely died of the mind of jumping out of the car.

You can't hide from a distance of 2,000 miles!

Now that she is weak and weak, how far can she run even if she jumps out of the car!

Zhu Zi clutched his chest and sat down again, shaking Duan Chu awake with all his strength.

"Cousin, it is said that snakes are headless and birds do not fly without heads, even the legendary jade skeletons whose bones are as transparent as white jade ice and immortal for 10,000 years are afraid of losing their heads, can I not be afraid!"

Duan Chu reached out and took the beads in his arms and rubbed her little head.

"Don't be afraid, there is a cousin here, so let's make a promise first, if something happens to you, my cousin will not live alone, I will immediately cut off my own head, even if I die, I will accompany you."

In the carriage galloping on a cold night, Duan Chu's arms were very warm.

Especially his words, it is very similar to the kind of life and death of the sea vow, and the beads are not very afraid.

This is the first man in the world to promise to live and die with him.

Zhuzixin said that if you die, you will die, with such a fool by your side, it is not a big deal to die.

With a hint of sweetness, she closed her eyes.

The carriage was said to be galloping, but it was also relatively on foot, but it was not really fast, because the road surface was inevitably slippery after the snow.

It wasn't until almost dawn that he entered the territory of Zhongwu County.

Qian Zhushu rubbed his eyes and woke up, seeing the beads in his sleep, with a light smile on his face.

As soon as Master Qian woke up, Duan Chu also opened his eyes, and quietly reached out and copied the wine gourd.

Unscrewed the stopper and drank two large sips of wine, Duan Chu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

"Looking at the way the Duan class master is winning, I feel that I have come to the right place this time."

Duan Chu smiled and just wanted to say a few polite words, but who knew that Zhuzi suddenly woke up.

"A smell of alcohol, you drink in the morning! Burn the knife for 20 wen a catty, the back seat of the pig is only 18 wen a catty, let's take the money to buy wine and drink, take it to buy pork, stew it is not fragrant! ”

Qian Zhushu smiled at the beads and said, "Men always have some hobbies, according to my years of experience, drinking is not a big problem." ”

The beads were about to refute, but the money master didn't give her a chance, and opened the side curtains first.

The morning sun had just shone down, and the unmelted snow in the fields was shining.

"Today is the twenty-fifth ...... of the lunar month"

Before the poor Qian master finished speaking, a red line suddenly appeared on his neck.

The red thread was as neat as a knife, and a circle of blood oozed out.

Qian Zhushu screamed, his neck was suddenly broken from the red line, and his head mixed with white hair was blown away by the north wind in an instant.

Qian Zhu, who sat back in the carriage again, became a headless corpse in the blink of an eye.

In the scream of the beads, Duan Chu's eyes were quick, and he had already picked up the blanket that Qian Zhushu had covered at night and covered his broken neck.

However, there was still a lot of blood, sprayed on the roof of the carriage, and the smell of blood covered the smell of alcohol for a while.

Duan Chu covered the beads' eyes with one hand, and slapped the car with the other hand to stop the coachman.

The driver parked the car, stretched out his head to look at the carriage, and shivered.

Duan Chu patted the driver on the shoulder and comforted him a little.

"Zhuzi, don't open your eyes, I'll get out of the car and look for the head of the money master."

After Duan Chu finished speaking, he let go and jumped out of the car.

As a result, the beads jumped down as well.

"Instead of accompanying the headless corpse in the car, I should go with you to find the head." The bead said in a trembling voice.

Duan Chu smiled, holding the beads with the ghost head knife, and walked back along the rut to find it.

Sixty or seventy steps later, there was a long blood mark on the snow, which was the blood spurting out of the neck cavity of Master Qian.

Underneath the bloodstains, the snow was stained red.

As for the head of the Qian master's book, it has long disappeared in the vast snow.

"Cousin, you can still regret it now, let's go back, it must be the death row prisoner, who knew that you were going to cut him, so he took away the head of the money master, this is a warning to us."

Duan Chuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "This is someone close to the rich master who cut off the head of a death row prisoner." ”

"Yes, yes, Duan Ban Master is right, it must be the son of the Qian master who is greedy, and for the reward of five taels of gold, he volunteered to cut the head of the prisoner, and as a result, he killed the Qian master book!"

The bead looked back and it was the coachman who spoke.

It turned out that the coachman was also afraid of being alone with the headless corpse, so he kept following behind.

Duan Chu turned his head and asked the coachman: "The size of the money master book is the master of the torture room, his son is definitely not an executioner, how can he cut off his head?" ”

"Duan Ban Master doesn't know, that child is said to be the illegitimate son of Qian Zhushu, Qian Zhushu has always refused to recognize him, and never gave him a penny to spend, and the child has no money to force."

When Duan Chu heard this, he knew that there was no need to look for the head, and it must be in Zhongwu County where the execution was carried out at this moment.

Getting into the car again, Beads looked away from the headless corpse.

"That kid is not for money, his purpose is to want the life of the money owner." Beads said.

Duan Chu opened the sedan curtain, and the city gate of Zhongwu County was in front of him.
