The Death of Pulok (1)
The night of the Qiluo tribe always comes late, it is already the end of the unitary time, but the sky is still not completely dark, especially a little misty dusk rippling in the sky, but the bright color is extremely low, and it is really a little dim.
Qiao Chu still remembered the agreement with Pu Luo today, he deliberately avoided the guards of the imperial city, and slowly came from the prison in the twilight, but his heart was a little trembling and throbbing along the way, he had been planning for so long, and finally got what he wanted, this heart, held in his chest, but he couldn't settle down.
Leaning over the vermilion arches closed between the palace doors, standing outside the door of the dormitory, the night is closed, Qiao Chu felt the silence all around by the blood-red light on the lintel of the courtyard, the eaves, the corridor, the doors and windows, and the flowers and trees are all in the thick inky night, there is a summer breeze in the dim place to set off ripples, with a little chill, silent, Qiao Chu did not see a soldier guarding here.
He stared at the brows without a trace, and was suspicious in his heart, Qiao Chu knew Puluo, he had always been suspicious, and he didn't trust him the most, when he first entered the Qiluo clan, he and Puluo plotted to use Bai Hanyan as bait to force Duan Changge, but he set up a big battle, enough to transfer the entire guard guarding the imperial city to defend him.
It shows that Pu Luoduo is timid and afraid of death, and now, his dormitory is so quiet that Qiao Chu is a little suspicious.
Qiao Chu stood outside Puluo's dormitory and observed for a while, and hesitated for a while, but it was also for a moment, he was not afraid of Puluo's means, he had lived for so many years in the treacherous clouds, and the last thing he was afraid of was the means.
Tonight, seeing that his mother's wish was about to end, even if Puluo really wanted to assassinate him, he was not afraid, so Qiao Chu did not hesitate too much, raised his hand to push the door of Puluo's dormitory open, he raised his legs and stepped into the house, and he was vigilant not moving forward.
It was strange that the temple was still quiet.
The tip of Qiao Chu's nose moved slightly, and a stream of blood came from the hall, his heart tightened, and he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly retreated from the house.
But it was too late, everything was only in the electric light, and then only a "squeak-" sound, someone smacked the arch from the outside in, and a chaotic footstep crossed the threshold, and rushed towards him unscrupulously.
Qiao Chu saw the fires blazing, the lights outside the door were bright, and the entire dormitory had already been surrounded by ghost-faced guards and a large number of Ming Jinwu guards, Wang Xin stood in the center of the crowd, accompanied by Chang Fengxuan.
Qiao Chu closed his eyes heavily, took a deep breath of cold and biting night air mockingly, and when he calmed down and opened his eyes again, he saw that Wang Xin had already passed through the curved corridor, climbed up the stone steps, stopped in front of the dormitory, and stood opposite him.
Qiao Chu sneered, he didn't expect that today, he would also be calculated.
Wang Xin waved his hand, and the Jin Wuwei behind him immediately rushed into Puluo's dormitory, and after a while, that Jin Wuwei ran out with a panicked face, and whispered in Wang Xin's ear, Wang Xin's face changed when he boarded, and then he angrily scolded Qiao Chu: "Bold Qiao Chu, he dared to kill the patriarch of the Qiluo clan, come and take him down to this official!" ”
As soon as his words fell, a large group of Jin Wuwei immediately bullied him, Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows, and did not resist, allowing Jin Wuwei to press his hands and bind him.
Chang Fengxuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he rushed into the dormitory, watching Puluo's body fall into a pool of blood, his throat was slit, blood was dripping, and his chest was stained with large patches of blood, but there was still blood flowing out of his throat, spreading along the ground, a large piece of hideous, the blood was still warm, and it was obviously not long after he died.
"Uncle!"
Chang Fengxuan suddenly knelt beside Puluo, and let out a sad voice, suddenly, he got up suddenly, almost rushed out of the door, and mentioned Qiao Chu, who was imprisoned by Jin Wuwei, his eyes were full of blood: "Qiao Chu, even if you hate all the people of the Qiluo clan, you shouldn't kill him, he is the head of Puluo, since you promised you to complete the agreement with your mother twenty-five years ago, why do you still want to kill him!" ”
When the words fell, Chang Fengxuan figured it out again, gritted his teeth with great grief, and said: "I forgot, your heart has long been blinded by hatred, you even killed your grandmother, not to mention an uncle who has not been close since childhood!" And my brother Yang Zhao also died in your hands, Qiao Chu, I remember this account, I will definitely let you pay for your blood debt! ”
"Which eye did you see me kill you, your uncle, the ninth grandmother, and your brother?"
Qiao Chu straightened back, and broke free from Chang Fengxuan's shackles with one force, he smiled proudly, his tone could not hide his arrogance, and his voice was indeed angry and sarcastic: "Chang Fengxuan, are you good at having a long brain, if you want to kill someone with my Qiao Chu's means, will you wait for you to arrest me?" ”
Chang Fengxuan was stunned, Qiao Chu lowered his head under Wang Xin's slightly squinted gaze, his body gradually approached Chang Fengxuan, and said in a low voice: "If I really kill someone, even if he Wang Xin thinks you are a murderer, he will not suspect me for a while, I Qiao Chu thinks that I have this method, which is tortuous, but anyone with a little brain will figure it out." ”
Qiao Chu's words fell, Chang Fengxuan's face suddenly changed slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became alert, but Wang Xin clapped his hands on the side and said: "Qiao is really sharp-toothed, this heavenly net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, even if you Qiao Chu has no last resort, it is not that everything is under control." ”
Wang Xin paused, took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Chang Fengxuan, raised his eyebrows and said: "Patriarch Puluo has long known that he will have bad intentions, and he is afraid that he will look for a moth, so half an hour ago, he sent me a letter, asking me to come to his dormitory from time to time, in case Qiao Chu is bad, but unfortunately, this official is still a step late." ”
Chang Fengxuan looked down at the letter paper in his hand, his fingers trembled unconsciously, the letter paper was indeed written by his uncle, and he pursed the corners of his lips, Chang Fengxuan didn't say anything.
Qiao Chu's face was full of disdain, even in this unfavorable situation, he couldn't see the pain of being calculated, but often flashed a trace of ridicule and disdain, as if he was very sneering at Wang Xin's every word.
Wang Xin was not annoyed, smiled faintly, and said to Chang Fengxuan: "The patriarch will leave the matter to you, Qiao Chu and I will interrogate you with a good life, and I will give you an explanation for the Qiluo clan." ”
Chang Fengxuan lowered his head and tightened the letter in his hand, without a word of thanks, Wang Xin turned his head disappreliantly and instructed Jin Wuwei, who was pouting at Qiao Chu: "Put him in a cell, this person is very dangerous, so as not to take revenge on him again, you Jin Wuwei take turns to take care of it." ”
"Wait a minute!" A woman's figure suddenly appeared in the arch, Wang Xin turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a masked woman coming with a skirt, he frowned, and after groaning slightly, Jin Wuwei immediately gave way with a wave of his hand, and Sui Han trotted all the way to Qiao Chu's face, mist gushed out of his eyes behind the veil, looking at Qiao Chu's stubborn face, she stomped her feet and muttered: "Chu'er, why are you so stupid!" ”
Qiao Chu sighed slightly, raised his eyes to look at his aunt, who was the same mother as his mother, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Sui, don't you even believe me?" ”
Sui Han shook his head, the mist in his eyes was about to overflow, tears fell, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Xin, protected in front of Qiao Chu, and said with a sinking eyebrow: "Puluo was not killed by Qiao Chu, I killed it, you let it go, I'll go with you!" ”
The night was as cold as ice, the moonlight was like blood, Wang Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Sui Han, his eyes sank, and he suddenly scolded coldly: "Presumptuous! Do you think that when I am a child in the Ming law, this official saw him Qiao Chu kill people, the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to tell right and wrong in front of this official, unless there is evidence to prove that he Qiao Chu is innocent, otherwise no matter who dares to intercede, this official will be punished with the crime of accomplice! ”
As soon as Wang Xin's voice fell, there was silence all around, Sui Han's eyes were slightly stunned, as if he was taken by Wang Xin's full official authority, Jin Wuwei stepped forward and pulled her aside, Sui Han staggered, fell to the ground, and suddenly cried out sadly.
And at this moment, Jin Wuwei, who was guarding the arch, suddenly snorted, was thrown out at once, and fell heavily to the ground, Wang Xin looked angry when he heard the sound, but saw Mo Yun standing in the arch, dressed in black and looking a little cold.
Wang Xin sneered: "This official said that no matter who dares to do what Qiao Chu said, he will be convicted of complicity......"
"What if it's me?"
Before Wang Xin's words were finished, an idle voice spread behind Mo Yun, but it contained a demonic charm.
Everyone in the courtyard changed their faces, everyone knew who the owner of this voice was, Qiao Chu squinted his eyes, only to feel a wave in his heart, Wang Xin raised his eyes a little tremblingly, and sure enough, he saw Duan Changge's long figure slowly appearing in the night.
"You...... Not dead? Wang Xin looked at him, a layer of coldness surged in his heart, and his tone was cold.
"Of course, my life is on the line. Wang Xin owes you that you have been an inspector for so many years, and you can't even see such a clumsy method. Duan Changge's brocade white robe was slightly wrinkled, a little embarrassed, and the wound on his chest also looked a little hideous, but it did not reduce the momentum of slaughter on his body at all, and raised a pair of narrow eyes to look straight at Wang Xin, and his bright eyes floated with a layer of deep sharpness.
"So what?" Wang Xin's expression was as usual: "Don't forget, he Qiao Chu is the only one at the scene of the crime, and all the evidence points to him, and there is no room for quibbles." ”
After a pause, Wang Xin hooked his lips and said: "It's not that Lord Duan wants to avenge his grievances, it's just that Lord Duan is in the same door with him, and the friendship is deep, but I'm afraid that I have to avoid suspicion." ”
"What about me, I'll find out the real culprit, I don't know if Lord Wang can allow it?"
Qiao Chu's body trembled, and Bai Hanyan's voice seemed to be a hallucination in his haze, yes, it was a little unreal.
The wind in the night gradually became a little stronger, blowing the white cold smoke and slightly dirty skirt fluttering, she stood behind Duan Changge, a little far away from Qiao Chu, the lights in the courtyard were dim, and he couldn't see what the look on her face was, but his heart was filled with joy.
She's alive.
"It's you." Wang Xin's hand in his sleeve shook uncontrollably, and when he saw her again, he didn't know what it was like.
"Lord Wang, long time no see."
