Chapter Seventy-Seven: Substitute for the Dead
When He Wei heard the same greeting, he stopped talking for a while. The fat brother www.biquge.info smiled stupidly on the side and then turned away, walking east and west like a thief.
It didn't take long for the old ghost to rush over from the gate, looking at He Wei with a panicked look, and hurriedly greeted: "The old man watched the sky last night, and saw a faint meteorite falling from the sky in the twinkling stars, there must be a disaster coming, you were okay last night." ”
He Wei walked into the lobby and said with a smile: "Of course I'm fine, what can I do, to the point that some people want me to have something." ”
The old ghost stomped his foot violently, and roared angrily at the thunder with teeth and claws on his face: "Who is so bold as to dare to stab the old man under his nose, let me find that it is impossible to break his body into pieces." ”
"How do you know so well? Did you know someone stabbed me last night? Who told you that? He Wei looked at him curiously and asked.
The old ghost suddenly froze, stood in place and hesitated for a while before replying: "Oh, the old man is actually guessing blindly, but his face is black when he sees it, and Yin Tang is red, presumably there must have been a bloody disaster last night." ”
He Wei looked at him with a hippie smile, stopped talking, sighed and turned around and walked into the lobby.
When I came to the lobby, there were already a lot of ghosts standing straight on both sides to form a column, which looked like the previous dynasty.
Zhang Qi also sat in front of the handsome desk early, with two beautiful female guards standing beside him, not only showing his majesty, but also revealing a supreme momentum.
Everyone in the hall was dressed in Lani's sloppy clothes, but only the fat brother's clothes were brand new, and he also wore a lustrous gold necklace around his neck, and the whole person became energetic.
When He Wei saw this, a smile of envy appeared on his face, and he walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. smiled and said, "Hey, fat brother, did you win the lottery today?" It's really impressive to see if you don't see each other for a day! ”
The fat brother also smiled, bowed his head and replied: "Hehe, doesn't this drag your blessing, now there is nothing missing." ”
Zhang Qi, who was sitting in front of the handsome case, suddenly slapped the table and yelled, "Silence! Quiet! Don't make a loud noise, two wolves, bring the plaintiff up. ”
"The subordinate two wolves obey the orders given by the adults!!" It was so loud that it almost deafened everyone's ears.
When I looked back, I found that it was the second wolf who was roaring loudly below, and his face was about to be shocked red, and the blood tendons on his head were about to explode.
The second wolf immediately ran to the bottom of the stage, first carrying up a pale female corpse, and then pulling up a thin middle-aged woman and pushing it down the hall. He struck her on the knee with the wooden stick in his hand, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
When He Wei saw the woman in front of him, he was stunned. Isn't she the same woman who was lying unconscious on the street before, and why did she suddenly come to this place?
The second wolf quickly ran to the front, faced Zhang Qi and replied, "This is the plaintiff." ”
Zhang Qi nodded slightly after seeing it and said, "Okay, you go down first." ”
The woman knelt down at the foot of the hall with tears streaming down her face, moving her body and crawling forward, as if she had been greatly wronged, her eyelashes were moist, and she kept crawling and shouting: "I was wronged, I didn't kill that woman." ”
After He Wei saw it, he squinted and looked at the female corpse next to the woman, only to find that the female corpse was the one he had met in the alley before, wearing a bright red robe, and a pair of black toad shoes wrapped around his feet.
But He Wei also knew in his heart that this woman must not be a murderer. But he didn't go up to help her testify for the first time, but quietly asked the fat brother standing on the side, and said softly: "Isn't this woman the one we saved on the street before?" I told you to rest at the town's inn, didn't you do so? ”
The fat brother stood and hesitated for a few seconds before bringing his mouth to his ear and replied: "Head, I have indeed arranged it, but Lord Zhang, he ......"
"Lord Zhang again?"
"Smack!" I heard a loud bang on the table in the hall. He quickly stood up from his chair with a tiger face, looked at the woman below, shook his tongue and shouted, "Humph! You still dare to quibble, hurry up and draw a charge, otherwise I will make your life worse than death. ”
The woman fell to her knees and cried and cried and repeated the previous sentence: "I was wronged, I did not kill that man." ”
As soon as Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately picked up a piece of hard erection from the handsome case and smashed it into the woman's brain, and once again threatened indiscriminately and loudly: "You also give this official a hard mouth, two wolves, chop off all ten fingers of that criminal, see if she can recruit or not!" ”
The second wolf immediately stepped forward and posed as a villain, and after a quick response, he took out a sharp dagger from his pocket and slowly approached the woman's body.
He Wei stood on the side and widened his eyes, and wanted to step forward to testify for the woman, but the fat brother suddenly grabbed his arm and persuaded him very quietly:
"Head, don't do it, we all know that she was wronged."
He Wei immediately stopped, turned around and slowly threw his surprised gaze on the fat brother's face, and suddenly felt that the blood in his body was about to stop flowing, and asked in horror with a coagulated face: "Could it be that she is a ghost for the dead?" ”
The fat brother looked at him and nodded lightly, "You guessed right!" ”
At this moment, a miserable scream suddenly came from behind He Wei, and as soon as he turned around, he was splashed with hot blood.
I saw that one of the thumbs of the woman on the ground was chopped into a pool of blood by the merciless dagger, and her round cheeks instantly turned white, dragging her tired body to the hard stone slab.
Zhang Qi sat back in his chair, picked up a cup of herbal tea from the table, and took a sip slowly. At the same time, he glanced at the two wolves below, as if hinting at something.
The second wolf didn't speak, just nodded. Then he turned to look at the woman who was lying in a pool of blood, squatted down head-on, stretched out a hand and grabbed her hair, and said in a low voice: "Hey, girl, why are you so troubled, let's recruit it, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again." ”
The woman opened her red eyes in a daze, gritted her front teeth and replied intermittently, "No...... I was wronged. ”
The second wolf unconsciously left a crystal teardrop in the corner of his eye, endured the snot that was about to flow down his nostrils, and responded with tears: "Hey, then I'm sorry, I have to act as ordered." ”
After the second wolf finished speaking, he took out the dagger in his hand, closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, tightened every rope up and down his body, and stabbed the dagger into the woman's palm.
"Ah!!h
The woman screamed again, lying on the ground with tears in her eyes and crying sadly, and the whole person seemed to be greatly stimulated, and many people avoided seeing such a miserable appearance.
He Wei stood stupidly and saw this tragic scene, hurriedly opened his legs and rushed to the woman's side, pushed away the second wolf standing beside him, and stretched out his hand to carefully support her from the ground.
The second wolf was pushed to the ground and fell with his back to the ground, he got up halfway up, looked up at He Wei in surprise, and asked, "Head!! What are you doing here? ”
Sitting in front of the handsome desk, he frowned, and smashed the teacup in his hand on the table. Stretching out his hand to He Wei's body, he roared menacingly: "Lord He, what are you doing?" Don't get out of here. ”
At this time, although the ghosts standing on both sides did not have the slightest movement in their bodies, their expressions kept hinting at He Wei, as if they were secretly persuading him not to meddle in his affairs.
Although He Wei realized it in his spare eyes, he didn't care, but continued to slowly help the skinny woman to sit on the ground. And looked back at Zhang Qi, who was sitting like a stable bell in the hall, and explained:
"Master Zhang, I don't hide it, I know this woman, and I believe she is not a murderer."
In an instant, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and there was silence everywhere. It was quieter than before, and not even a single one dared to bite loudly.
Zhang Qi, who was sitting on the chair, not only did not get angry when he heard it, but laughed out loud, he focused on the woman's body, and said with a hint of a secret smile on his uncertain expression: "Alas! In fact, the official also knows that she is not a murderer, but there must be a murderer in this case. ”
When He Wei heard this, he suddenly felt a little surprised, and immediately looked left and right at the ghosts standing on both sides, and then looked back at Zhang Qi, who was sitting firmly in front of the handsome case, and replied, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Qi stretched out his hand again and picked up the teacup on the table, and said with a smile: "Since Master He is so confident, he must know where the murderer is hiding, so how about the official give you three days?" ”
He Wei stood in place and glanced at him, then took a step forward, raised his head and confidently agreed: "Then thank you Lord Zhang for your understanding, but I'm afraid it's too late today, and tomorrow is the first day." ”
Zhang Qi smiled slightly, didn't reply, just gently hammered his shoulder, slowly stood up from the chair, straightened his waist and slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the back hall.
The two female guards followed closely behind, moving with their heads held high, showing another majestic momentum.
After they were all gone, the ghosts in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the hall let out sighs one after another, and everyone was complaining that fate was too sad.
The fat brother looked left and right, and immediately ran to He Wei with a panicked face, looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Head, you are in trouble now, and you are in big trouble." ”
He Wei turned around and walked to the woman's side, and asked suspiciously, "What's the trouble?" ”
The fat brother sighed in a low voice, followed helplessly, and said, "Don't you still understand what Master Zhang means?" He just wants you to be the scapegoat. ”
He Wei squatted down to look at the woman covered in blood, turned his back to the fat brother and replied: "Impossible, if this is the case, then I will also find a real substitute for myself." ”
After staring at his back for a few seconds, the fat brother had to turn around and leave the lobby, and when he walked to the threshold, he deliberately turned around and added: "Head, you are so self-conscious, we really can't help you in this matter." ”
At this time, the second wolf standing on the side suddenly came over with a smile, looked down at the woman on the ground who was about to die, and squinted at He Wei beside him, and said with a smile: "Hey, head! Let me do it. With that, he reached out and tried to lift the woman up.
When He Wei saw it, he suddenly jumped up and kicked the second wolf away, and pointed at his chest and scolded: "What are you coming, what are you coming?" What do you want to do? ”
The second wolf fell to the ground with an aggrieved look, and replied painfully: "You misunderstood, in fact, I didn't have malicious intentions, I was forced to be helpless just now, and I just acted on orders." ”
He Wei was suddenly furious, opened a posture of hand-to-hand combat of life and death, and pounced on Erlang's body head-on, pressing him fiercely. Clenched his fists and smacked him in the face, while spitting a soak of saliva on his head.
scolded loudly: "Go on your uncle's orders, it's not a good thing to see you, you said that you tortured others like this, and you deliberately pretended to put on that unbeaten face, why haven't I seen someone like you." ”
The second wolf fell to the ground panting, tearfully begging for mercy: "You...... You misunderstood again, I didn't pretend to be, I really couldn't bear to cry at the time. ”
He Wei hit him in the chest with another fist, pinched his neck with one hand, and said angrily: "You fool the fool to go, you can't bear to cry." ”
The second wolf's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "I knew you wouldn't believe it." ”
"Yes, how can I believe that when a person is torturing another person, the fear is not that he is laughing, but that he is crying, that is a neuropathy that needs to be treated in time, and your brain is full of bad water."
He Wei pressed on his body and stood up again, raised his leg and kicked him the torso, and pointed out with his face to him: "Get out of here, don't appear in front of me in the future." ”
The second wolf got up from the ground in embarrassment, took out a handful of wild vegetables from his pocket, handed it to He Wei, and said, "Head, this is the wild vegetable I gave you today, but unfortunately there is no soup, you can make do with it." ”
He Wei couldn't cry or laugh for a while, kicked him on the buttocks again, and scolded: "Hurry up and get out, the farther the better, don't send wild vegetables to my grass house in the future, Lao Tzu is not rare." ”
The second wolf didn't speak, suddenly lowered his head, slowly turned around and walked out of the lobby in small steps, looking reluctant.
