Chapter 68: The Murder of a Beggar Child

"Zhang Changxiu, I think, you have to think about this matter. If you continue to keep me, the Hua clan will be unhappy. Besides, it's not good, if the old lady has a son, it will be a son-in-law, and your family property will have to be given to my son in the future. What do you want the Hua family to do? When the time comes, you will live and die in the fight between your concubines and concubines, and your wives and concubines will really be separated, and your sons will be separated. "Always happy and bitter persuasion.

Who knows, Zhang Changxiu's gaze suddenly deepened when he looked at her, and he stepped forward to approach, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse: "Madam, why don't you get pregnant with one before saying this?" ”

Chang Le smelled the smell of danger, his eyes widened suddenly, and he smashed the warm stone in his hand at him, turned his head and ran. I didn't care if the road was narrow in the dark, and if there was anything strange, I ran straight to the pot yard.

"If you don't want to be in charge of the wedding feast, as long as you're pregnant."

Hearing Zhang Changxiu's voice drifting in the wind, Chang Le was so frightened that he almost stumbled, and replied loudly: "Wedding banquet or something, it's not a thing!" ”

The ghost wants to give him a baby!

……

The night is as cool as water, the lights in the Qianyun Restaurant are brilliant, the guests come and go, the brocade clothes are gorgeous, and the conversation and laughter are lively.

Qianyun Restaurant wholeheartedly greets every table of distinguished guests. It is a delicacies and delicacies, full of color and flavor; It is poured with fine wine and fairy wine, and the aroma is tangy; It is the throat of the silk bamboo warbler, and the aftermath is lingering.

Inside the singing and dancing, outside the restaurant, there are also pairs of hungry eyes staring at everything that happens inside. Their owners, scrawny and unclothed, red from the cold, and stiff limbs, were still begging for mercy with the last of their strength.

"Uncle, please, I haven't eaten for a day. Let's enjoy some food. ”

One of the little beggars stopped a richly dressed official. The little beggar boy was about six or seven years old, his dark hands were frozen to cracking, and he was trembling and holding a broken bowl with dark dirt, and his body was lying on his stomach in the hope that he could be warmer. Through the torn placket, you can clearly see the ribs on his chest, and a piece of skin hangs loosely on him. The sunken eye sockets, the light from the eyeballs is brighter than this lamp.

"Something to eat? Uncle, I haven't eaten yet. The official picked his teeth with a thin wooden skewer, supported his waist, held his stomach up, and his eyes were full of disdain. Pull the beggar to the side and walk away with a majestic eight-character style.

The beggar boy's eyes dimmed, and in an instant, he saw a kind official come out of the building, and his eyes lit up again, and he rushed forward. But he was pushed out by other peers, and fell to the ground with his butt, as if he was glued, and it was easy to get up. There was a tearing pain in the buttocks.

The next moment, I saw an uncle again, and immediately rushed over before the others, and one fell down in front of the uncle. But it was a disgusted look and a back that fled in a hurry.

He didn't beg until late at night. Wandering to the back door of Qianyun Restaurant, he sat on the ground tiredly, curled up in a ball, his body was numb from the cold, and he was still clutching the broken bowl tightly in his hand.

The place where he sat could be illuminated by the lights of Qianyun Restaurant, as if in this way, he could feel the warmth. Listening to the laughter, as if I was in it, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curve a little.

When I was about to fall asleep, a person suddenly appeared in front of me. All he could see was the man's legs and feet. The man was wearing a pair of large, scary single shoes with thick leg hair showing from his ankles. His shadow pulls the old man, and he can't see the height.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, a copper plate landed steadily in his broken bowl.

Starlight burst out in the beggar boy's eyes, he raised his head in surprise, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you, ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a hand grabbed his neck. In an instant, he froze his expression in amazement, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. The hand moved away, and his head hung around his neck in a strange state, and the whole person fell to the side.

The broken bowl rolled to the ground, and the copper coins inside spun around a few times with the rolling of the broken bowl. At the moment when the broken bowl stabilized, he rolled out. Rolling a few inches along the uneven bluestone bricks, it made a subtle sound, and the speed became slower and slower.

The copper coin passed by the beggar's slightly open white chapped mouth. The mouth, before he could put away his smile, had just expressed his horror. The coin rolled a few more times, and finally shook it, and fell next to the frightened protruding eyes of the beggar boy, making a few slight "ding" sounds, and glowing yellow under the light.

And the person who rewarded the money has long since disappeared. Come softly, go quietly, as if there was only one beggar here.

……

One hand picked up the copper coin, and the owner of the hand was shocked by the beggar's frightened bulging eyes. After staring for a long time, he finally couldn't bear to stand up.

Xu squatted for too long, maybe the sun was too dazzling, and he was a little dizzy when he stood up suddenly. Zhang Changxiu held his forehead with his hands, closed his eyes and calmed down, and his ears were filled with the sighs of chattering around him.

"Alas, poor man, he died at such a young age, and he still looks so miserable."

"Who killed a thousand knives in this way, and even a little beggar didn't let go."

"It's so pitiful, I was twisted my head!"

“……”

This morning, the yamen of the thirteen counties received a report from Li Qianyun, the owner of Qianyun Restaurant. At the back door of Qianyun Restaurant, a beggar died, and his head was twisted off.

"What kind of person is this, to a defenseless young man? It's really miserable! ”

The last roar came from the assassin Shi Jiang Congshan. As soon as Jiang Congshan, who had always been a child, heard about the case, he rushed over before he had time to change into his official uniform to check the situation.

Unexpectedly, the death of the beggar boy was so heart-wrenching.

This is just a poor beggar, who can be so ruthless!

Zhang Changxiu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of ruthlessness and resoluteness. It is imperative to arrest the murderer and deal with it according to law!

He had just had a son last night, and there was a murderer in the city. Tong hands.

This is a clear provocation to him!

Then he will definitely arrest the murderer and correct the Fa, so as to tell the spirit of the beggar boy in the sky!

"Looking at the beggar boy's expression, he should still be glad that he has finally received charity." Master He stood aside respectfully, and the fox eyes slowly changed from childhood. Tong distorts the face on the transfer.

"This is really a wealth and a loss of life. If my grandson catches this murderer, I will first peel him off a few layers of skin! Sun Tou clutched the handle of the official knife at his waist, ready to unsheath it at all times.

The more Zhang Changxiu listened, the more uncomfortable he became, as if there was a fire scorching, which made him uncomfortable and irritable, and the copper coins held in the palm of his hand were also extremely hot. Seeing that he was packing up his tools and had finished the inspection, he immediately shouted: "Zuo, how is the situation?" ”

"Back to the master, the cause of death was that his neck was twisted, and there were only old injuries on his body, and there were no other new injuries. It's a one-hit fatality. He replied respectfully, that is, countless autopsies were performed, and at this time, pity was overflowing, and he couldn't stop sighing.

"One, hit, lethal." Zhang Changxiu gritted his teeth and repeated every word, looking at Sun Tou, "Bring the body back to the yamen, and the person who reported the case and the relevant people are interrogated?" ”

"Okay, they're all waiting to go to the yamen." Sun Tou saw that he was too resolute, so he naturally didn't dare to fall behind, and immediately reported it. With a wave of his hand, he asked the two yacha to carry the stretcher up and settle the body.

"Okay, go back to the government immediately and interrogate them one by one!" Zhang Changxiu did not delay at all, and turned sideways towards Jiang Congshan and made a level salute, "This official will definitely arrest the murderer, and I will take the first step when I don't wait." ”

"Good! Hurry up! Jiang Congshan hurriedly waved his hand and urged him to leave.

Seeing the white cloth completely covering the beggar boy, Jiang Congshan was not only sad and angry, but also had a headache.

Not long after this theft, there was another murder of a beggar child. The thirteen counties really can't be peaceful, but how to report to the saint?

This must be to anger the Holy Face!

……

The news of the killing of the beggar boy spread throughout the thirteen counties in one morning.

Chang Le listened to this appalling thing and muttered.

I always feel that the previous theft was just the beginning, and now it is a child killing, and there is a bigger vortex waiting for the thirteen counties to be involved. When Zhang Changxiu had a child, a young man died outside. Tong, the coincidence is embarrassing.

So much so that Chang Le couldn't help but feel ironic and ridiculous when he saw Hua's chopsticks and chopsticks holding mutton, enjoying the delicious food on the table.

"It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Chang Le said, rubbing his sour eyes, "The people are restless, young. Tong died tragically, but he still had to prepare for a wedding feast. It's ridiculous, it's sad. ”

Hua Chu'er heard this, put down the chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed by Ruyu, wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth reservedly, and smiled helplessly: "This time it is really a coincidence, come to think of it, isn't there someone who is jealous of the Taishou who is going to have a son?" Deliberately doing such a murderous thing. ”

Chang Le raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Chu'er deeply, taking her hypocrisy in his eyes. She looks like she is worried about the people, but she is very shallow and vain, and she can't hide her cold-bloodedness. Chang Le hesitated for a moment, can such a person, the child born and raised, be a good person?

"Mistress, otherwise, tell your husband that this wedding banquet will be canceled." Hua Chu'er was very sensible to help with ideas.

Chang Le was not angry when he thought of Zhang Changxiu's threat last night, and went back directly: "You go and talk to him yourself." I'm only responsible for doing things, not making decisions. I have come today to talk to you, so go down. ”

Shili and Ruyu were stunned for a moment, each looked at their master, and got an affirmative nod, then hesitantly retreated and closed the door.

"Mastermother, what do you have to say to your concubine?" Hua Chu'er still pretended to be obedient and sensible.

Chang Le poured himself a cup of tea from the side, and found that it was strong tea, and frowned: "It seems that Ruyu can't take care of it, you don't know if you are pregnant, and the people around you don't know something." Pregnant women can't drink more strong tea, don't you know? ”

Seeing that she began to pick again, Hua Chu'er was vigilant and pleaded: "It's the concubines who like to drink strong tea, and they can't survive it, so they do it." ”

"You are now pregnant with the child of the Zhang family, you don't know how to use some heart, where can you be so willful?" Chang Le immediately scolded like an eventful mother-in-law, "How many people have lost their children because they didn't pay attention, and they couldn't get pregnant anymore." ”

Chang Le also learned from her aunt's tone. Ever since her cousin-in-law became pregnant, her aunt has been careful about everything. Just because her aunt's daughter-in-law didn't pay attention to her diet and behavior, she got rid of the child and never got pregnant again.
