Chapter 9: The Bloody Short Sword
Of course, the subordinates had to ask Lu Cheng what he meant.
Lu Cheng: Draw it for him.
He walked over and said to Lu Cheng that this was inappropriate.
Qiuyu: What's wrong. Lord Lu also said that he needed my help.
He didn't hear anything else he said, but you did.
He said: This kid recognizes a person, you take it for him, let him check, and he can't find someone else's head, which is not appropriate.
It's not appropriate to say it very loudly.
This official has his own way of judging the case, so you don't have to worry about it.
Just one set, now one set, you obviously want to excuse Wen Guan, I won't let Wen Guan go.
You saw Lu Cheng's forehead muscles jumping, but he didn't say anything, and let Qiu Yu leave the Hou Mansion like this.
My lord.
Lu Cheng raised his hand and said, "Let him and the third brother toss."
Lu Cheng is ten years older than Lu Shang, he is thirty-nine, his grandsons are about to be born, he has been an official for twenty years, and his experience and wisdom are enough to be promoted to a higher official position, but he is guarding Songren County, and he doesn't want to give two grades.
As soon as Qiu Yu left, Lu Tu came, still beating the drum and shouting grievances, he walked into the court, pointed to his face that was injured by his fall, and said: I just said Wen Guan, and he will beat me, big brother, you take care of your third brother.
At first glance, it's just a mess, but it's just a younger brother, and you can't just throw it out.
Lu Tu is thirty-three, and he can only live to this day by relying on the family funds saved by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and in the nine years since he got married, he has been running around for Xianyan's infertility. Later, Xiaomo was finally born, and it did not change his idle and wandering problem. Anyway, my in-laws won't let my grandson ask for food, and my in-laws' family won't sit on the mountain.
At a glance, he could see that his injuries were falling.
Above the court, there is no room for presumptuousness. When you listen to what he said, you want to ask Lu Cheng to beat him ten big boards.
Lu Cheng couldn't fight, so he sent the official to take him out, and as soon as the official pulled him up, Xian Yan walked in, apologized to Lu Cheng, and took Lu Tu out.
Then, you see that Lu Tu has changed back into a human form.
He defended himself: Xiaomo's bones are not cold, I can't lose my temper yet?
This is a court, is it useful for you to make trouble with your big brother? You have some ability, can you use it on the right path? Xiaomo will laugh at you when he sees you like this. You're so useless, if I hadn't married you, my child wouldn't have died.
Who asked you to let Wen Guan make dim sum.
The next thing is bickering, you don't have to listen to it, I'll take you to see Lu Shang and Qiu Yu.
It's the next day, Qiu Yu is sweeping the fallen leaves outside the inn, he is very calm, sweeping very clean, and it is not obvious from a distance that it is a ten-year-old child.
You can't see it up close.
You don't know when he will show his innocence, perhaps, after losing his parents, he can no longer be a real child.
But when he saw the pink Luo skirt and the looming red toe of his shoes, he could see who it was.
Rui, how do you know I'm here?
My mother brought me here.
Where is she.
You see Zhang Zhenzhen waiting in front of the barbecue stall and telling the stall owner to be sure to put less chili peppers.
My mother is buying skewers for the two of us.
You go in and sit down, I'll finish sweeping it in a moment.
Brother Qiuyu, what are you working here?
Well.
When will Uncle Qiu be buried in the ground?
Find out the real culprit.
Didn't you send Aunt Guan to the government?
And the evidence.
It's complicated.
Kid, don't ask, go inside.
I'm not a child.
Okay, you're not, get inside quickly, it's cold to come out so early.
Listen, he's so gentle with Rui.
Yes, before I woke up, my mother woke me up and came to you.
Your mother knows I'm here?
We went to Lu's house, and Lu Shang told us that you are here.
What else did he say?
Rui Rui shook her head and said, "I didn't hear it."
Go inside, don't catch a cold.
Listen, his tone is the same as when he speaks to us.
Brother Qiuyu, hurry up, don't catch a cold.
Okay, I know.
As soon as Zhang Zhenzhen turned around after buying, she saw her husband.
Why did you come along?
His husband said unnaturally: I was worried about you, so I followed. What about Rui Rui?
Go find Qiuyu.
Qiuyu, this kid is pitiful, he is alone, what will he do in the future.
Can we adults still let our children sleep on the streets?
His husband smiled and said, "Definitely not." Then she glanced at the skewers she was holding, all of them were one-on-one, a total of six.
Little brother, grill two more skewers of fish balls.
Zhang Zhenzhen: You wait for me, I'll send this to the two children.
Good.
However, you notice that his husband keeps rubbing his hands, as if he is freezing his hands, but it is different from the action of rubbing his hands together. You also see that he has calluses in his palms, which are left by holding the sword for a long time. Just in his tiger's mouth, there was a very shallow and very small wound, a thin layer of scabs, which looked very much like being pierced by a fingernail, and the wound was very shallow, indicating that the nails were not long, the nails were not long, and it was either a man, a child, or a woman who worked all day.
Guest, your fish balls.
Zhang Zhenzhen's husband looked at a string of six quarter-length fish balls, frowned and asked: How much?
Two texts.
Zhang Zhenzhen was about to take it, and he said: A string.
Zhang Zhenzhen's husband rolled his eyes, took two more papers, the short sword fell from the belt, the blade and the scabbard were separated, and there was a circle of curled red at the junction between the blade and the hilt.
Little brother, is there water, it doesn't need to be too clean.
There's it in the bucket over there.
Thank you.
Zhang Zhenzhen wiped the sword body clean with one hand of water, and there were only traces of water on the land.
He straightened his waist, saw Zhang Zhenzhen and Rui Rui walking towards this side, hurriedly pinned the short sword to his waist, and greeted him with a smile: Rui Rui, why don't you play with Brother Qiuyu for a while, it's rare to see each other.
Is it difficult for me to meet Brother Qiuyu in the future?
Zhang Zhenzhen interrupted her husband, who was about to speak, and said: If you can meet, if you want to meet, my mother will bring you.
Don't bother Qiu Yu, he's worried about it now.
Rui Rui: I'm bothered too.
Uncle will take you to play.
Zhang Zhenzhen: What to play, it's time to go home. I was relieved to see that Qiu Yu was good. But why did he work at the Warm Heart Inn?
Look for clues. Hey, Qiuyu, you don't have to worry about this kid, let's go home.
The stall owner catches up: your fish balls.
Mrs. Zhang Zhenzhen: Oh, thank you.
I see you just washed the knife, are you a butcher?
It's a dagger, not a sword.
Sorry, I didn't see it.
Someone called out to him, and he passed, but you could vaguely hear him muttering something.
Next is the evening.
The seventh day of Qiuyu's murder.
Your eyes go from the fence gate of Zhang Zhenzhen's house to the firewood room of Zhang Zhenzhen's house, the firewood is piled up like a hill, a candle is burning alone on the ground, and in a small area where the candle shines, Zhang Zhenzhen's husband is washing the blood on the short sword with a teapot.
The sword emitted a cold light, and he sniffed it close to his nose, took a deep breath, and laughed out with great satisfaction, the kind of laughter you hear with the hairs standing on end.
Then, he blows out the candles, and your gaze follows him and closes the door to the main room.
But as you take a sip of tea, the door opens again, because the fence gate forgot to lock it.
It was Zhang Zhenzhen, who had just washed her hair, who came out.
She looked at the sky and walked towards the wood house, where a black mouse squeaked and screamed, and she stumbled over the candle without knowing it.
You think she's scared to go back to the room?
Wrong.
She brought a rake over, but the rat didn't see it, and saw the candle.
And you, seeing her husband watching at the door.
Yes, her husband has been watching her.
Zhang Zhenzhen sprinkled the medicine and felt that she had a direct gaze, but she firmly believed in the story of the three lights, I guess you have also heard of it, and if you turn around, you will extinguish one lamp, and the demons and monsters will come.
When Zhang Zhenzhen really turned around, her husband was no longer at the door.
The next day, the place is Wenxin Inn, the second floor, the dining table is next to the fence, Zhang Zhenzhen's husband and friends sit north and south of the table, the table is boiled spiced peanuts, spicy duck goods, peanut shells and water and bones and knocked wine glasses make the table messy.
Li Bei, aren't you helping your father-in-law work?
Li Beiyu blushed: You don't know how happy I am.
What's up?
Akigoshi is dead!
Glad? Poor Qiuyu has become a child without a father and a mother. Your heart is not fleshy! The friend got up angrily and left.
Li Bei didn't care about him, he couldn't control the wine and called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and it was Qiu Yu who came over.
Uncle Li, I listen like you.
Whispering. Li Bei squinted at him, trying to open them but to no avail.
Why don't you guard your father?
He's gone, and I've got to live.
You are unfilial! Your father is damned, you are a son, you have to guard, you have to cry, do you know?
Qiu Yu's face was very bad: Uncle Li, you drank too much, settle the account and go home.
Okay, if you don't listen, Uncle Li won't say it. How much?
One hundred texts.
Million?
One hundred texts.
One hundred wen, one hundred wen Uncle Li doesn't have it, the person who just had dinner with me invited me, you look for him to go.
How to eat the overlord meal, the guys stopped Li Bei.
This is the rule I set when I first opened the inn, if I don't follow it, who would dare to try it?
I really don't have any money.
Don't have the money to come to the inn to eat?
Qiuyu: I'll give you this money.
I don't need you to give.
The friend who said this was a friend who left in anger.
Pushing around or friends checking out There is no need to go into detail, you can now move your eyes to the third floor, Lu Shang and Lu Cheng will have a full view just now, and Li Bei s words impressed them.
didn't be verbose, called Qiu Yu and asked him who Li Bei was.
It's my neighbor.
Lu Cheng: How does he get along with your father?
Qiu Yu hesitated: Very good.
Lu Cheng: To be honest.
Qiu Yu was anxious: Why are you trying me, this is not a court, you should go and collect evidence to prove that Wen Guan is the murderer.
You see that his eyes are bloodshot, I don't know whether to stay up late or be angry or excited.
The official asked you if he was giving your father justice, and replied seriously, don't be verbose.
Very good.
Lu Cheng: Okay, the official knows.
Qiu Yu chased outside the inn: Don't try to cover your brother and sister.
Lu Cheng glanced back at him: Don't be too stubborn.
On the ninth day of Qiuyue's murder, Lu Cheng sent someone to call Li Bei and Zhang Zhenzhen to the house for tea.
You see the two of them in the living room, with assorted nuts on the coffee table, two thread-bound blue books, and two brushes.
Li Bei flipped the brush.
Don't turn around, I'm dizzy.
Ever since the autumn is gone, you've been uncomfortable.
Qiu Yue didn't help us a lot when he was alive, you weren't at home, he helped me carry water and firewood.
Knowing and knowing, I will always remember his great kindness. Hey, Zhenzhen, don't say that I have a bad relationship with Qiuyue for a while.
Why?
If you say that, don't I have a motive to kill?
Do you have a motive to kill?
