Chapter 234: Seeking Justice
When the news came, Resar, the representative of the Tsarist Russian government, and Wang Wenshao, the representative of the imperial court, signed a Sino-Russian agreement in the capital. The paperwork on paper means that Lao Maozi must be withdrawn except for the Middle East Railway. Not only in small places like Changtufu, but also a large number of garrisons in big cities such as Shengjing, Jilin, Shuangliao, and Yingkou also had to hand over with the local Qing soldiers. This time, the Northeast is back in the hands of the imperial court.
Changtu Province is located in the northernmost part of Mukden Province. As soon as this treaty was signed, the people could feel the changes the most. First, the trains passing through Changtu Province are becoming more and more dense, and from morning to night, the whistle is constantly sounding. The melodious sound from the railway station in the east of the city can be faintly heard in the west of the city.
Naturally, you can't hear it on the Sun Mountain, but sitting on the old locust tree at the entrance of the temple and looking in the direction of Fucheng, you can always see bursts of black smoke rising.
Huzi didn't know what was written on the letter he handed over to the foreigner, and he didn't care. Tuan made a world-shaking movement, as long as he didn't confess, it had nothing to do with him. I don't know how that stupid big man learned from Nalan Lang, in short, since that day, Huzi and the ghost family have never been harassed by the group.
So going out to watch things, taking care of Yueyue's diet and cleaning, and sitting on the tree in a daze have become the most common things for Huzi. After copying the scriptures and drawing the talismans every day, he just came here to sit here for a while. He didn't know what he wanted to see, he just felt comfortable emptying his mind. This is different from the feeling of the empty spiritual platform when meditating and cultivating, that is, simply being in a daze. At this time, he had a little bit of Taoist disciple consciousness, coming from the red dust but not melting into the red dust. Looking at the bustle of the world on the mountain, looking at the lush green on the mountain from the world.
He didn't want to look at the graveyard, where he had to go every once in a while, digging up bones and returning bones, just as when he had not yet left the school to "see things" independently. Sometimes he is also glad that he has not dug up the bones of Zhao Shankun's family and Xiao Jiu. This shows that even if they died unexpectedly, they did not suffer any more sins, and their obsessions lingered and refused to disperse.
Oh yes! Xiao Jiu didn't become a ghost, but he became an earthbound spirit, and when the moonlight was bright, he would sing a song on the stage. It's not the same! Today, she is dressed as Yang Guifei, and she will sing it tomorrow. According to common sense, in a popular place like the Drum Tower, the Earth Binding Spirit cannot stand. Maybe Xiao Jiu really likes this stage, so he doesn't want to go-Huzi can't help but think so.
Although there are such and such rumors about how the Drum Tower is not clean, the business of the Drum Tower has not been affected, but because the stage has been opened and artists from all walks of life are allowed to take the stage here, it has become more prosperous than before - it can be regarded as worthy of the name. Therefore, some of the old people in the Drum Tower are worshipping and worshipping Xiao Jiu, and they feel that it is Xiao Jiu's spirit in the sky, blessing the prosperity of the Drum Tower.
The only thing that makes some ticket holders feel pity is that Chen Banzhu sealed the box. On the day that Chen Banzhu sealed the box, Huzi and Mr. Peng both went to cheer. On that day, the people in the theater rubbed shoulders one after another, just to see the famous generation of Chen Ban Master and wave goodbye to the stage. Chen squad leader supported the whole scene alone, singing from the morning to the afternoon, one scene after another, and his voice was so split that he was persuaded to stop singing backstage.
Many old ticket holders were reluctant to leave, and when it was time to hold the lamp, Chen Banzhu took off his makeup and walked out, and talked a lot to everyone before he left.
He told outsiders that he was too old to sing. But those who are even slightly close to know that this is just a rhetoric. Since the day Xiao Jiu left, Chen Banzhu's heart has been dead. He even thought about closing the Drum Tower. But with so many mouths eating on this opera drum tower, Chen Banzhu couldn't completely rely on his own temperament, and he didn't care about living and dying with the artists who had been in the wind and rain for so many years.
But he himself really doesn't want to sing on stage anymore. Xiao Jiu looks too much like him. Every time, after Chen Banzhu finished hooking his face and put on his head, he could see Xiao Jiu's shadow in the mirror. He didn't think that this was Xiao Jiu's ghost, but he only felt that it was his own thoughts. Therefore, I made up my mind to no longer sing on stage, but to be a class leader with peace of mind and take care of the opera drum tower.
The price of grain has never dropped, but Changtu Mansion is becoming more and more lively day by day, and Huzi sits on the tree every day and sees it clearly. The flow of people shuttling back and forth is becoming more and more dense. It's just that how many of them are unclothed and how many people are hungry is not something that Huzi can see.
"Mr. Peng, how are you?" Suddenly, a voice came, interrupting Huzi's daze.
Looking down, it's still an acquaintance. Huzi jumped down from the tree and saluted: "Thanks to you, these days have been quite passable." Wang Chengzuo, how are you lately? ”
Wang Yanzuo smiled awkwardly: "Don't hide it from Mr. Xiao Peng, you said, I also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I will come to visit you if I have something to ask for you." After all, who do our business, go to who's house...... People are disgusting. ”
"Each other, each other!" Huzi laughed and stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Since there is something, come in and talk about it." ”
arranged for Wang Chengzuo to sit down, and Huzi found Mr. Peng again, and after some politeness, it fell to the point.
"It's not embarrassing to say...... It was the duty of the yamen," Wang Qizuo frowned, and slowly spoke after considering his words, "The warden has passed it down, saying that the case is about to be closed, but I have been dealing with dead corpses for so many years, and I really think it is too strange, this should be an evil stubble." And the one who was put on death row was a friend with whom I had an old friend. I begged and begged for me, and I didn't have any way to come to you, Mr. Peng. My friend's family is not very rich, but he can still afford to find someone to watch things. As long as Mr. Peng, you can clear his son's grievances, incense money is definitely not a problem. ”
After hearing this, Mr. Peng and Huzi glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly. Mr. Peng said, "It's really hard for me to be an adult. The people do not fight with the officials, and if the case decided by your yamen is to be overturned, the family should also file a lawsuit. When you sing about your injuries, you should also write down the strangeness of the record one by one and submit it to the Criminal Division. It doesn't seem appropriate to ask us for it. We are folk 'craftsmen', we eat Jianghu rice, and we meddle in the affairs of 'Kunlun Mountain'. In this matter, you should ask for another wisdom. ”
"Don't, Mr. Peng!" Wang Cheng was anxious, "If I really just wanted to overturn the case after being wronged, I would never ask for the door!" This...... I vouch for my life, it's definitely a demon. I've been working in the yamen for so many years, and I always have a little bit of eye strength, right? It is in my personal name that I invite you to come over, and I will never be next to the government. Now people stop in Yizhuang, you go with me to see, if you can't see anything, just lift yourself up and go, I will not stop you. It's just that if you let the demons go, I'm afraid you will cause even more trouble. ”
Wang Chengzuo...... Are you right? Huzi was still a little puzzled, he suspected that this person was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and thought of their master and apprentice as a gunman. After all, I've only seen it before, and I haven't been able to make friends, so it's good to know people and faces, so it's good to be more vigilant.
"It's true." Wang Qizuo patted his chest.
"In that case...... Mr. Peng frowned slightly, "You describe the matter to us, and I will decide." ”
Wang Qizuo nodded and said, "My old friend's surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Dashu. I and I have been playing since I was a child.,Friendship with open crotch pants.。 I know best what his son's temper is, and he definitely can't do anything to kill people, and his methods are so cruel. ”
"Talk," Huzi reminded, "to make a long story short, to the point." ”
Wang Yanzuo hurriedly nodded again to indicate that he understood, and continued: "The Zhou family and the dead man's family have a dispute on the field. Isn't it time to farm? The land of the two families was next to each other, and the other family occupied two ridges of the Zhou family's land. The boy ate two glasses of wine, and in front of many people, threatened to open the head of the man in the family. Everyone just thought he was angry and talked nonsense, and didn't take it to heart. But I didn't think that the next day, the first day when the daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house to visit relatives, the man died, and someone took something to dig a hole in the back of his head. And that's not all, my friend's eldest son, the one who said he was going to open someone's head, was found drunk at the door of the house, with blood all over his hands! ”
"Come on, this case doesn't need to be tried." Huzi laughed, "Because of the dispute, I took advantage of the strength of the wine to kill the killer on impulse." The nature is vile, and he will be imprisoned on death row, and he will be left to audit the case file after the autumn and be beheaded together. ”
"Isn't it!" Wang Cheng slapped his thigh, "That's how it was judged, they all said that the evidence was conclusive." But...... That's not the case. I...... My nephew said that he was just drunk and had some impulsiveness, and wanted to go to the man for a reason, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw that the back of the man's head had been opened, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and rubbed the blood on his hand. ran out of the door to call someone, but before the strength of the wine subsided, he fell at the door of the house, and when he woke up, he was escorted to the court. ”
"You say this is not a coincidence...... Huzi felt that this was just a prevarication, "how can it be so appropriate?" ”
Wang Qizuo sighed. He didn't blame Huzi for being suspicious, after all, he didn't believe these words at first.
"What makes you think that this must not be the nephew of your Zhou family?" Mr. Peng asked.
"Hurt!" Wang Chengzuo was facing Mr. Peng's eyes, "This injury is so unusual!" I have been doing this for so many years, I have never heard of it, I have never seen it! ”
"Oh?" Mr. Peng was aroused, "What kind of murder weapon was used to commit the murder?" ”
Wang Yanzuo sighed again, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't find the murder weapon at all!" The wound ...... Yikes! Follow me and see!
