Chapter 14: Motive for the Killing
Shen Ji and Wei Shuyan arrived at the gate of the city, and when they heard someone talking about the funeral of the Wei family, Wei Shuyan hurried back, and Shen Wei couldn't rest assured and followed.
When he arrived at Wei's house, he happened to see Wei Shuyan pointing a sword at a woman, who was very similar to the woman he saw in Liu's Mansion that day.
On that day, Wei Shuyan was punished to kneel and fainted in the rain, which was a letter from Shen Ji to Xiao Yu, so Shen Wei guessed that person might be Wei Shuyan's mother-in-law.
Although Shen Wei is not a local and has lived in the temple for a long time, every time he comes to Jiangling City, he can always hear some interesting stories about the Wei and Liu families.
He followed all the way from the ancestral hall to the main hall, and then from the main hall to the backyard, Wei Shuyan did not move after entering the house, he lay on the rubble, watching the moon climb the treetops and slowly rise into the sky.
Showering in the moonlight, the fatigue of these days was quickly released, and gradually he also fell asleep, and in a daze, he heard some movement below.
He immediately came to his senses and saw Wei Shuyan leave the room and walk to another courtyard, and he followed.
During the day, I saw Wei Shuyan's guards detain a person, and with Wei Shuyan's temperament, I am afraid that he will do something out of the ordinary.
Shen Wei climbed over a few eaves, and watched Wei Shuyan walk into a room from a distance, this room was in the remote area of the Wei Mansion, maybe that person was locked up here.
Shen Wei found a position in the middle, lifted a tile, and looked down at a puff of smoke, and below was a huge pool, sprinkled with a layer of flower petals, and a faint fragrance rushed to his face.
Shen Wei suddenly realized something, and the hand holding the tile stiffened, and the tile fell.
Wei Shuyan was tired, and after Xiao Yu's condition stabilized, she was ready to take a bath and sleep again, when she just took off her clothes and heard a strange noise from the roof.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she grabbed her clothes with one hand and put them on, and with the other hand, grabbed the water scoop closest to her, and threw it vigorously towards the place where the sound was made.
Suddenly, there was a deafening sound throughout the Wei Mansion, followed by the pop of a foreign object falling into the water.
The originally clear and clean water of the pond was filled with sawdust and tiles, and from the position of Wei Shuyan, as soon as you looked up, you could see a large hole, beyond the hole was the sky full of stars, and there was a beam hanging there that had not been completely broken.
Shen Wei took a big sip of water, got up from the water in a hurry, and coughed violently when he was choked by the water.
Recently, he really washed with the water criminal, he wiped the water on his face, shook his head, and threw out the petals hanging in his hair, so that he could see the person in front of him clearly.
The man was wearing a gauze robe, his eyes were wide with anger, like a beast about to eat people, Shen Ji was shocked, he quickly closed his eyes, and said, "I, I didn't see anything, I didn't mean to, I ......"
One foot hit Shen Jiong's door, he didn't have time to dodge, and fell into the water.
*
"You're too ruthless! Old wounds have not healed, and new wounds have been added. Shen Wei covered his nose, which had finally stopped the bleeding, and spoke cautiously, for fear of affecting the wound.
Wei Shuyan pinched his injured hand and said fiercely: "A thief like you, if he didn't kill you, he was kind." ”
"What a whore, I'll say it again, I'm worried about you, so I will follow up." Shen Wei explained again, he was in a bit of a hurry, and almost touched the bridge of his nose.
Wei Shuyan snorted coldly: "This is my home, do you need to worry?" ”
Although Wei Shuyan said this, there was still some warmth in her heart, after all, there are not many people in this world who are worried about her.
Wei Shuyan: "Okay, then I'm fine now, can you leave with confidence?" ”
Shen Wei sighed: Good intentions are not rewarded.
"Okay, then I'll go." Shen Wei got up and jumped on the eaves, perfectly interpreting where he came from and where he was going.
Wei Shuyan naturally didn't believe that Shen Wei would leave easily, she always felt that Shen Wei was not as simple as it seemed, and those who seemed harmless to humans and animals were often the most ruthless.
Although he has experienced life and death with himself, Wei Shuyan has not forgotten who led her to the suburbs, not because she was suspicious by nature, but because she had to guard against it.
"Miss, who is this person?" Du Hong ran over after hearing the loud noise, Wei Shuyan asked her to stay outside the door, and when he saw Shen Wei flying out, he walked in.
Wei Shuyan: "You don't care who he is, you just need to remember that in the future, you will strengthen your vigilance and not let anyone enter the mansion." ”
Du Hong: "This person has done a good job, although he was injured, but ten steps away, even I can't notice his existence." ”
Wei Shuyan knew that Shen Wei was good at light skills, but she didn't expect that even Du Hong couldn't detect it, Du Hong used to be the chief disciple of the first major sect in martial arts, and even she couldn't detect it, it was really not simple.
Wei Shuyan: "In the future, in addition to the sentry post on the ground, it will also be added on the roof." ”
"Yes, miss." When Du Hong saluted and was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Miss, what about the beast in the room." ”
By the way, Wei Shuyan almost forgot about this, this old pervert actually dared to covet Xiao Yu, this person is a scum, and it doesn't hurt to kill him, but he can't let him die so easily.
The corners of Wei Shuyan's mouth pulled out a cold arc: "Let's go, go and see." ”
In the cabin where the sun did not see the light of day, there was a person covered in blood, she was trembling all over, even the straw was stained with his blood, when he saw someone walking in, he forced his eyelids, and when he saw that it was Wei Shuyan, his whole body shrank for a moment, and immediately removed his gaze from Wei Shuyan.
"Xiao, little goose, it's uncle's fault, please spare me! Please. ”
The man put his hands on his chest, and really looked like an old dog on the verge of death, and no, if you compare him with a dog, he insults a dog.
Wei Shuyan looked at the person with disgust, and sighed a few times: "Uncle, you shouldn't have moved Xiao Yu." ”
Boss: "I, I was wrong, for your grandfather's sake, oh no, for your sisters' sake, spare my life!" ”
"Uncle may not know, I have asked myself to remove the family tree, and it will have nothing to do with your lineage in the future, although we have nothing to do with each other." Wei Shuyan grabbed Du Hong's saber behind him, "As for those younger sisters, I heard that in order to pay off gambling debts, you actually dedicated your daughter to an old man in his sixties as a little wife, and the bride price you get, not to pay off gambling debts, but also to go to the Qinglou to eat, drink and prostitute yourself, uncle, perhaps, your death is the best protection for your sisters and sisters." ”
"Don't, don't."
With the scream of killing pigs, the knife fell, and the blood spilled on the straw, and some of the blood mist sprayed on the blue skirt.
She calmly threw the knife to Du Hong, walked out of the door, and only stepped out, she felt a sharp cold gaze behind her. She turned and looked up, crashing into a complicated look in the eye.
"What's the matter, Master Shen, are you scared in the face of a murderous butcher like me?" Wei Shuyan licked her lips calmly, she looked at Shen Yan's sluggish appearance, and she had already guessed what he thought of herself.
Wei Shuyan didn't care that she was right and evil in the eyes of others, so there was no need to explain.
"Do you want to take me to the official? Come on! Wei Shuyan obediently raised her hands.
*
On the eaves, Wei Shuyan handed Shen Wei a bottle of wine, and he took it, but he didn't drink it. He lowered his head and stared at the blood-soaked hem of his skirt.
"Haven't you come back to your senses yet? Master Shen. Wei Shuyan teased.
"Don't be sarcastic about me," Shen Wei sighed, "Actually, I'm quite curious, what does it feel like to kill someone?" ”
Wei Shuyan raised the jar in his hand and said slowly: "What can you feel if you don't kill people but nod your head." ”
Shen Ji: "I know, you are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and what that man did, death cannot atone for his sins, but after all, it is a life." ”
Wei Shuyan: "Keeping him will only kill more people." ”
"Hey! Maybe that's why the master let me enter the mortal world! Shen Wei sighed, unconsciously stretched out his hand to the jar, picked it up, and took a sip.
Wei Shuyan saw all this in her eyes, her brows were tightly knit, as if she was waiting for something, and sure enough, after a while, Shen Wei squirted out the wine in her mouth.
Shen Ji: "What does this smell like?" ”
He quickly spit out the wine in his mouth.
"Hahaha...... Wei Shuyan held her stomach and laughed, "Don't vomit, haven't you heard that wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart?" ”
Shen Wei hurriedly pulled back Wei Shuyan, who was smiling.
Shen Jiong: "Okay, don't make trouble, back to the topic, have you found the person hiding behind you to kill you?" ”
Wei Shuyan: "No. ”
Wei Shuyan can be sure that the person behind it is related to her mother-in-law, Zhang.
Shen Jiong: "Then, do you have any doubters?" ”
Wei Shuyan asked, "Why are you suddenly so interested in this?" ”
"Isn't that also about my life and death?" Shen Wei raised the hand wrapped in the white cloth.
Wei Shuyan: "I really have a suspicious person. ”
Shen Ji: "Who." ”
Although Shen Ji tried his best to hide his expression, Wei Shuyan could still see the desire in his eyes, and it seemed that he was very interested in the person behind it.
"Forget it! It doesn't matter who it is," he said, looking at the guards in the courtyard, "I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out." ”
Wei Shuyan: "You really don't want to know?" ”
Shen Ji: "Yes." "The monk doesn't speak, he obeys it very well.
Wei Shuyan: "I suspect it's King Chen." ”
"King Chen," Shen Yan muttered.
Shen Jiong: "Then what is his motive?" ”
Wei Shuyan was very energetic, and did not let go of every subtle expression on Shen Ji's face.
"Oh! I know," Shen Wei stared at Wei Shuyan with a clear look, "You don't suspect King Chen, you doubt me!" ”
Who doesn't know the relationship between Wei Shuyan and King Chen, how could she doubt King Chen, obviously wanting to test the relationship between him and King Chen.
"That's right," after being recognized, Wei Shuyan simply got straight to the point, "I doubt you." ”
"Ever since I returned to Gangneung, you have been around me, whether it is Qianzhuang or Yichun Courtyard, as well as Chen Wangfu, and you are the one who led me to the outskirts of the city. only to be assassinated. Do you think I should doubt you? ”
"So, I'm the number one suspect with you!" Shen Ji leaned close to Wei Shuyan, "But why did I approach you, I was assassinated, I almost died after falling off a cliff, I have also experienced these, if these are my plans, then I am too ruthless!" I don't even want my own life. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe you're just trying to get close to me in this way?" Wei Shuyan pushed Shen Yan's face over, and the man's proximity almost made him almost out of breath.
"Hey!" Shen Ji patted his ass and stood up and stretched, "It seems that I've been too idle recently." ”
Shen Ji: "Miss Wei, I'm leaving, oh!" By the way, what did you promise about refugees before? ”
Wei Shuyan lay on the rubble, admiring the cunning moonlight, and said, "It's still valid." ”
Shen Wei turned around and jumped slightly, then stepped over a few eaves, and under the moonlight, a black figure was reflected, and he turned his head to see Wei Shuyan still lying there quietly.
