Chapter 55: Dark Shadow
Aunt Weng's face was full of guilt and shame, and after listening to the old six woodcutters' questions, she was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "After that, your eldest brother is still the same, and your friends came to give generously, and it was more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it didn't take long for it to be gone; So your eldest brother said to me that this time he went to the north to sell some goods, and when he came back, he gave me nearly 10,000 taels of silver tickets; In the future, every once in a while, your eldest brother Weng will go out, that is, half a year later, Tie Chuanjia's ...... The man. She was going to talk about the dog thief, but she didn't.
Aunt Weng said: "He and your eldest brother made friends, and it didn't take long for him to become a confidant, I saw that this Tie Chuanjia is a real righteous person, and the ordinary people who look for your eldest brother to cheat and cheat and drink I don't know how much stronger, in order to put my mind at ease, and in the second half of the year, the two of them are often inseparable, but your eldest brother still goes out every once in a while, and Tie Chuanjia often asks people to send some food, money and other things when your eldest brother goes out; And nearly half a year later, your eldest brother and he went out of the city alone, and did not return overnight, and I went out to look for it the next day, but who would have thought that in the land temple outside the city, I found your eldest brother's body, and there was a short knife in his chest, and the knife was also your eldest brother's belongings, but Tie Chuanjia was never seen again, and he ...... The brothers knew about it from then on. The more she talked, the more sad she became, and by the end of the day, she was already sobbing a little.
Zhongyuan Bayi also felt pain in his chest when he heard it, but he was even more ashamed in his heart, and the seventh Ximen Lie slapped his thigh and said, "What? Sister-in-law, that iron armor...... Iron Armor ......"
Aunt Weng nodded and said, "The time and cases that Jia Shenzhu said are not bad at all, and now that I think about it, there is a good chance that these cases were done by your eldest brother Weng." And after your eldest brother Weng died, have you ever heard the slightest rumor in the rivers and lakes that is unfavorable to your eldest brother Weng? ”
Yi Blind and the others shook their heads one after another and said, "This ...... But no. Aunt Weng nodded and said, "That's it." Now that I think about it, that Tie Chuanjia must have discovered these things that your big brother Weng had done, so he made an appointment to talk to your big brother Weng outside the city......" Speaking of this, she couldn't say any more.
Xie Guhong, who hadn't spoken much, saw that Zhang Chengxun's brothers were flushed and trembling, so he immediately got up and patted Zhang Chengxun on the shoulder and said, "Brothers, hold your mind first and listen to me." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he continued: "Tie Chuanjia, what was his previous reputation? ”
Yi Blind nodded slowly and said, "Before he left the customs, he had a lot of reputation, and he was bold and righteous, and he could stick a knife in his friend's ribs. ”
Xie Guhong said again: "That sister-in-law said that after Brother Weng's death, there have been no rumors in the rivers and lakes that are not favorable to Brother Weng, yes or no?" ”
Bian Hao: "Hey! He sighed and said with a guilty face: "This is not bad at all." ”
Xie Guhong said: "Okay, brothers, I have a plan, how could a person who was willing to stick a knife in his friend's ribs kill Brother Weng?" And even if he dares to kill Big Brother Weng, then he is definitely a hypocrite, so why does he have such a reputation? And such a hypocrite, how could he not spread some rumors that were unfavorable to Brother Weng after his death? Instead, he chose the most stupid and stupid way to hide out of the gate? Why is that? ”
Before the words fell, Aunt Weng clenched her fists, her face was excited, and said, "Hey! Brother Xie, don't say anything more. Saying "huh", he stood up, turned to Zhang Chengxun and the others, and said: "Brothers, your eldest brother Weng is extremely strong, after I found the corpse of your eldest brother in the land temple, I was already confused, where would I pay attention to the side, so I decided that it was the iron armor who did it, and now I think about it, I found that there was no trace of a fight, but now I look back and think about it carefully, with your eldest brother's person, you must have been dissuaded by the iron brother and said that he broke this matter, and directly pulled out a short knife and poked himself into the chest, And the Tie family brothers were so righteous that they would rather bear this infamy and hide out of the customs than say the slightest gossip about Brother Weng...... I'll wait......... I really deserve to die, but fortunately, this time thanks to Brother Xie and Jia Shenzhuan, otherwise, when Brother Tie enters the city, we mistakenly kill my brother as an enemy, and then we will be killed headlong, and we will never be worthy of being a human being. ”
Hearing Aunt Weng say this, Zhongyuan Bayi was ashamed and ashamed in his heart. Qi Qi stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to Xie Guhong and Jia Kuishen, and said: "Thank you big brother (brother), Jia Shenzhuo, today the truth has been restored, the Central Plains Bayi will never forget, in the future, if there is the slightest thing, as long as there is a word, our brother will go to the knife mountain, and he will not frown when he gets into the oil pot!" ”
Jia Kui hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Xie Guhong helped them up one by one and said, "Hey! I have long said that they are all my own brothers, and this is what I should do, so why be so polite. After that, he helped Aunt Weng up, and returned the salute with a fist, and then said: "Sister-in-law Weng, brothers, Tie Chuanjia followed Li Xunhuan, this time he turned back to the Central Plains again, firstly, he was invited by his eldest brother, Long Xiaoyun of Xingyunzhuang, to investigate the case of Plum Blossom Avenue that has reappeared in the rivers and lakes recently, and secondly, he still has some things to worry about in the Central Plains. Therefore, I think this is an opportunity, our brothers, it is better to be here, and Tie Chuanjia will resolve the matter, we will repay the kindness, and the two of them will re-enter the Central Plains, I don't know how many dangers will be encountered, how about we help him? ”
Yi Blind Man was categorical and said: "The truth of the matter has been known to our brothers, even if Brother Xie does not say it, we are willing to go to the soup for him, which is an unshirkable thing." He also said: "It should be so, wronged him incognito for more than ten years, so affectionate, our brother is dead for him, and he will never frown." ”
But just as Xie Guhong and the others said this, Xie Guhong suddenly stretched out his hand, paused, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the rat?" When you get here, do you dare to hide your head and show your tail? ”
Speaking kung fu, Zhongyuan Bayi and others also knew that there were people outside, Zhang Chengxun pushed open the door, and jumped into the courtyard outside with the rest of the brothers, Xie Guhong and Jia Kui were not slow, they came outside, looked at it, and looked at the north courtyard wall, there were a few black shadows not only did not run, but when they saw everyone coming out, they jumped into the courtyard with a "whoosh".
Note: "Brothers, don't forget to collect and vote!" ”
