"Pregnant?" Wang Heng said this sentence tremblingly, and now it is no longer the palm of his hand, and even his head and back are in a cold sweat.

It is often said that children who die before they are born are the ones who have the deepest resentment. Because I thought of coming to this world with deep expectations, I was driven into the dark abyss before I saw the sun.

So among the older generation, there is always a saying that ghost babies, ghost babies, would rather dig graves than touch ghost babies.

Most of the things about ghost babies are in the inner courtyard of the palace and in the homes of large families, but there are many legends about them.

Therefore, when Gu Changqing said those words, Wang Heng was really scared.

He really didn't mean to kill someone. He didn't know about the woman's pregnancy.

"Wang Heng?" Gu Changqing called him softly.

He turned his head coldly, and began to feel that something was staring at him all the time.

"Hey, why don't you eat it?" Gu Changqing pointed to the food on the table and said, "This cost me a lot of silver?" ”

"Eat." Wang Heng lowered his head, glanced at Gu Changqing lightly, and said resignedly, "Master Gu." Is what you just said true? ”

"Of course?" Gu Changqing nodded, with an angry face, "I don't know what that Zhang Ming thinks, and I don't know if that dead child will be a ghost and won't let him go?" ”

"No, it won't." Wang Heng said stiffly.

"That's what I thought, too. Do you have children, though? Gu Changqing sandwiched a piece of braised pork for him.

"No, no. My daughter-in-law is not in good health and left a few years ago. Without children, it's just me. ”

"Then you're bored. Do you have any hobbies besides work? Gambling, smoking, etc.? ”

"I don't smoke." Wang Hengdao.

"Oh. That's gambling? Gu Changqing smiled, "I heard that on the day of the crime, you went to the money fast gambling hall, but you lost a lot of money?" ”

No matter how well-made porcelain is, there will be flaws, and no matter how carefully planned, there will be loopholes.

That night, when everyone surveyed the crime scene, no trace of financial loss was found. There is nothing missing in the family's money and ornaments.

But that day, when Zhang Ming proposed to take another look at the corpse, he found something that was ignored by everyone.

He said his son had a gold lock around his neck. It was given by his father-in-law when the child was born.

But after asking all the people involved that night, including Sanniang, no one saw that thing.

Later, when I went to investigate all the pawnshops at that time, I was really found.

The boss said that the person who came to be the pawn appeared at night, when the pawnshop was about to close, there was no one else, and the owner was wearing a black shirt with a masked face.

The boss was also scared at the time, so he hastily settled the money for the person and closed the door.

It happened late at night the day after the case.

However, the more easily overlooked the place, the more important it is.

When Gu Changqing went to see the boss, he just asked, do you still remember the voice of the man in black?

The boss nodded and said that the voice was very special, of course I remember.

; Gu Changqing stayed in the pawnshop until the first gong sounded at sunset, and then pointed to Wang Heng's voice floating far away outside and asked, Is he familiar?

The boss woke up suddenly.

At that time, I felt that the man's body and voice were very familiar. But because I hear it every day, I don't remember it.

Now, being reminded by Gu Changqing, he felt that the person who was always the golden lock was Wang Heng, the watchman.

If it weren't for the evidence that was enough to prove it, Gu Changqing would not have invited him here today.

Since Wang Heng is here, otherwise he won't be allowed to leave here again?

"I am... I like to bet on two handfuls of nothing. It is said that betting hurts the body, but a small bet is pleasant? I don't play big. I don't have that money. Wang Heng said this, but he panicked in his heart, he knew that his affairs had almost been revealed, and now it was just a boiled duck with a hard mouth.

Gu Changqing raised his delicate eyebrows, "I heard that you owed dozens of taels of silver at that time?" But it was paid off quickly? I don't know how you managed to get so much money so quickly. ”

After speaking, Gu Changqing hugged his arms, and his clothes were full of interest Look at what you say.

"Borrowed." Wang Heng said coldly, what else can he say besides this excuse?

"Borrowed. Not bad? Gu Changqing's fingers slapped on the table one by one, "But the official heard that you have no relatives, and even your relatives are respectful of you, not to mention your neighbors, they are afraid that you will not be able to pay it back, and no one is willing to lend it to you at all." ”

"Since Master Gu already knows so much detail, why don't you just tell your true thoughts?" Wang Heng said, and his emaciated cheeks even trembled strongly because of this words of resistance.

"Not bad." Gu Changqing nodded appreciatively, "What you said is good." I do have a real idea to say, but before I do that, I would like to ask you a question? ”

Gu Changqing paused, as if there was a mountain in front of him that he needed to cross, and said, "Have you ever regretted it?" But I had nightmares because of it. Dream of people who died tragically because of you? ”

Wang Heng first looked at Gu Changqing expressionlessly, and then, the feeling of powerlessness that he was staring at just now slowly appeared, and he began to cover his face with his hands, as if in this way he could not face Gu Changqing's problems, and he could not face the fear and condemnation in his heart?

How can he not regret it, when those people covered in blood crawl towards him in their dreams, he regrets that he can't wait to die directly.

But when he woke up the next day, watched the sun rise as usual, and saw the steamed buns waiting for him, he felt that he was doing the right thing.

It was his fault for killing people, but if he hadn't done it at the time, he would have died.

Death is too terrible, he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die, so even if he regrets it, even if he involuntarily walks to the Zhangjia store every day, he has never had the slightest idea of wanting to surrender because of the condemnation in his heart.

He was timid, cowardly, and fearful of the eternal darkness that death would bring, but he never imagined that the child, who had never even seen the light, would go into the darkness in his place.

"I don't regret it." After being silent for a long time, Wang Heng slowly spit out this sentence, "If they don't die, I will die." To be able to see the light for so many days, I am worth it. ”

Gu Changqing, who was originally calm and relaxed, got up in an instant because of these words, and kicked Wang Heng hard in the chest.

Wang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the benevolent and righteous Lord Gu that people often say would make a move on himself at this time, and after being stunned, he began to sneer, "I said that I don't regret it, even if I die, it will be worth pulling a few cushions." Why can they live so well, why do I have to live without being a ghost? ”
