Chapter 23: Evil Consequences Have a Cause
Gu Muhan and a few others took Lei Biao hostage and got into the rickshaw and went all the way south, to the foot of Qingfeng Lingnan.
Gu Muhan gave the three rickshaw drivers ten taels of silver each. The three coachmen made a fortune, bowed together, thanked them a thousand times, and pulled the empty car away.
Gu Muhan took Lei Biao to Qingfeng Valley on Qingfeng Mountain, where the high slopes of the mountains were steep and sparsely populated, and he couldn't even find the body if he killed someone and threw him into the deep valley.
Guo Xiaoyue untied Lei Biao's blindfold and rope, and the huge man's legs began to go crazy, trembling vigorously.
He fantasized that he must have been kidnapped by the kidnappers and taken to a certain cottage, only to find that there was no tiger skin chair and the Eight King Kongs in front of him, only smooth rocks and a cold wind blowing slowly.
Except that's the tall trees and the long winding mountain paths. The trees are deciduous, and the mountain roads are rugged and steep.
When he saw the words "Qingfeng Cave", he was dumbfounded.
This is a natural stone cave, more than 30 zhang deep, Guo Xiaoyue used a knife against Lei Biao's waist and forced him to go inside, the deeper it is, the more like a house, comfortable and warm.
The stone walls on both sides of the rock have been painted with lime, and the stone walls are covered with all kinds of murals, all of which are pictures of the youth of women with white flowers.
Further inside, with furniture and beds and a kitchen, a woman came over with a smile:
"Brother Biao, you're here. "
This woman's name is Xie Xiaofang, she used to be a massage girl at the Mengyan Rainwater Bath House, and the manager Lei Biao arranged her here, and since then she has lived a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing.
This is a typical golden house Zangjiao, the stone cave was hired by Lei Biao to hire ten stonemasons in advance for a month, before it was renovated into the current state, and it was built completely in accordance with the structure and standards of the house.
There is a natural vent in the depth of the cave, which makes the cave have all the environment and conditions for human habitation. It's just that I pity these ten stonemasons, after the transformation of the stone cave was completed, they were all poisoned by Lei Biao in the meal, and Lei Biao dragged their bodies to the edge of the cliff and threw them into the abyss.
Recently, he hasn't been here for a long time, not because he doesn't want to come, but because his own wife came from his hometown with the children, guarding him every day, making it difficult for him to move an inch.
His wife is both virtuous and dutiful, running the house at home, and serving her elderly in-laws, he has two school-going children, a boy and a girl, who are well-behaved and cute, and have good academic performance. A home must not be destroyed, and ruining a home means ruining everything.
Xie Xiaofang tasted the taste of being hidden by the golden house, lonely, empty and boring, and the pain of lovesickness was doubly tormented.
Just as she was thinking about it, today, his lover brother finally came.
"Brother, are you here? I knew you couldn't bear me. "
I can't bear to fart! Lei Biao was not intellectually disabled, and from the moment he entered the cave, he felt that he had fallen into the trap designed by Gu Muhan.
Why is this bastard surnamed Gu so powerful? His ancestors must have been born as spies, and he held him hostage here, which really made him want to cry without tears, and there were words of suffering, and he really didn't use a knife to kill people on dog days!
If he is taken hostage to another place and locked up in a room, the news may leak and alarm the government or other yamen institutions, then he surnamed Gu will not only be convicted of kidnapping, but may also be imprisoned.
And now the situation is the opposite, he grabbed his weakness and let a woman entangle him, so that he completely fell into a dead end, and he had to be slaughtered.
And that's not the crux of the matter, the key question is: How did he know I was in a relationship with this woman? And I also know that there is a cave here, and I know that the woman is hiding in the cave, so he has been eyeing me for a long time.
If he has all the privacy of Lao Tzu, then the dog can put Lao Tzu to death at any time!
Thinking of this, Lei Biao couldn't help but shudder secretly in his heart, he felt that this guy Gu Muhan was too unfathomable, he was simply a devil, even more terrible than the devil.
So, he nodded at Xie Xiaofang without smiling:
"How are you doing? "
After saying that, beads of sweat dripped down his head like soybeans.
Guo Xiaoyue walked over quietly and took him to the corner of the cave, and saw Wang Yaqin from a distance pulling Xie Xiaofang to talk and laugh, and it seemed that the relationship was very close.
Such a move made his heart beat a drum, could it be that they had known each other for a long time, or that the three of them had already come to the cave before he came this time and colluded with Xie Xiaofang?
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue took Lei Biao outside the cave and came to a huge tree, where the rope had long existed.
Under the tree there was a huge tank filled with water, and water rats and four-horned snakes roamed in the water.
Iron pulleys were attached to the branches, and finger-thick ropes were attached to the pulleys. Lei Biao was very surprised: What does this mean?
Gu Muhan slowly approached Lei Biao and exhaled a breath from his mouth, which was mixed with three words:
"Pull it up. "
Lei Biao was so frightened that he rolled to the ground.
Guo Xiaoyue pulled him up.
He hung upside down on the pulley with his feet tied tightly, his head submerged in the water.
She is a female bandit, torturing people is her specialty, and hanging pulleys upside down is their ancestral specialty of the old Guo family.
She murderously pulled the other end of the rope under the pulley and lowered Lei Biao's head into the water.
"Ahh "
He struggled as hard as he could, but his hands and feet were tied.
It was immersed in water for about three minutes.
Guo Xiaoyue pulled him up and tossed him like this five times in a row.
Lei Biao, the manager of the Mengyan Rainwater Bath Museum, couldn't stand it, and hung his head angrily and begged for mercy:
"Don't let me go, if I let it go again, I won't be able to bear it, really, I'll be suffocated. "
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue exchanged glances:
The meaning is obvious: the effect has reached the point of getting to the point:
"Uncomfortable, isn't it? "
"It's very uncomfortable..."
Gu Muhan smiled strangely:
"It's good to know that it's uncomfortable, I ask you a question, you answer, first, who instructed you to kill Zhou Hongzhi? Second, who are your accomplices? "
Lei Biao thought for a moment:
"It was Zhang Jingmin, the shopkeeper of the "Big Four Happy Gambling Game", who asked me to do it. "
"Where are your accomplices now? "
Lei Biao rolled his eyes:
"I don't have an accomplice, I did it all by myself. "
"Wait. "
Gu Muhan suddenly interrupted him:
"You're lying, getting into the water. "
Guo Xiaoyue had a peach blossom knife in her left hand and a Qingfeng sword in her right hand, and she was about to pinch his head and press it into the water. "
Lei Biao hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Don't, don't, I said, I'm honest, can't I? "
Gu Muhan was a little proud: "You are playing a mind game with me, let me tell you honestly, why do I know that the murderer of Zhou Hongzhi is you, because I participated in the whole process of his aftermath and burial, and found that he was wearing a pair of underwear from the Dream Smoke Rain Bath House, it is estimated that he is a frequent visitor there." "
"That's right..."
Gu Muhan then said:
"Zhou Hongzhi has a bill in his jacket pocket, and your name is on the bill, Lei Biao owes twenty taels of silver. "
"I'm here. "
He was already so frightened that he was incoherent and had a nervous breakdown.
This man is amazing! It doesn't seem to work to play with him, he is good at piecing together fragments of just a few words into a whole thinking logic and organizing it into a clear case.
"Sink! Gu Muhan was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
"Don't, don't, I'll tell the truth, can't I tell the truth? My accomplice was Wu Tiexin, and he gave me a hush money of 1,000 taels of silver, asking me to keep the secret for him, and when the rumors subsided, he promised to give me another 1,000 taels of silver. "
Gu Muhan pondered for a while:
"Don't talk nonsense, the Wu family is a well-known rich family in Qingfeng Town, Wu Tiexin is the only seedling of Wu Xinzhi, the family is strong and has a bright future, how could he participate in the murder of Zhou Hongzhi with you? "
Lei Biao saw that Gu Muhan didn't believe him, his face turned red, in order to show his sincerity and prove that he was indeed telling the truth this time, he also paused deliberately:
"Mainly because he fell in love with Zhou Hongzhi's wife, Wang Jinbiao used to fight with him, as soon as Wang Jinbiao died, only Zhou Hongzhi was left, and if he killed Zhou Hongzhi, he would have nothing to do with it. "
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue looked at each other and motioned for her to hang the person again.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Biao cried and shouted loudly: "Good man, you have to talk about your conscience!" I've told you the truth, and you're still not letting me down. "
Gu Muhan asked with a sneer:
"Where is the scene of the killing? "
Lei Biao glanced at the big water tank and the hanging pulley under his head, and didn't dare to say nonsense:
"Happy gambling in senior year. "
