"Brother, don't worry, everything must have been dealt with."

Wu Song grinned, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the mountain behind him, "At that time, just to be on the safe side, I hid behind a big rock nearby and watched the wolf eat his meat. ”

"Tsk, you guy has a big heart, aren't you afraid that you will become the belly of the beast?"

After speaking, Wu Zhi sighed helplessly.

This younger brother is good anywhere, but sometimes he is too bold and his temper is too short-tempered, and he still hasn't changed it after thinking about it for so long, it seems that it is destined to be a long road.

Wu Song spread his hands casually.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not just stupid enough to flee immediately if there is danger."

"By the way, before I went down the mountain, I went to the place where I threw the body before, and it has been cleaned up, and there is only a big pool of blood left on the ground, even if it is found tomorrow morning, I don't have to worry about anything."

"Is there anything else I need to do now?"

Seeing that this guy in front of him was still a little excited......

Wu Zhi was even more helpless.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, it's so late now, it's time to go back and rest, in case there are other arrangements tomorrow, you have to prepare in advance and recuperate."

"That's right!"

Wu Song hurriedly nodded and agreed.

In this way, after saying goodbye, the Wu brothers and Hu Sanniang returned to the courtyard where they lived temporarily, and each went back to his room to rest.

……

Following.

Wu Zhi had just gotten up early and took Wu Song to the front hall to dine together, but before he had gone far, he heard the discussion of two maidservants not far away.

"Did you hear that? Someone found a corpse by the lake this morning by chopping wood, and it was our Zhuangzi people! ”

"Now that the news has spread all over the world, how could I not know?"

"It's really a pity, that person is the coachman who pulls the carriage in Zhuangzi, and the only son in the family has just married a wife not long ago, and he hasn't even reported his eldest grandson and enjoyed the joy of family, and the person is gone."

"It can only be said that fate is not good."

They were getting together and whispering energetically, when they saw the Wu brothers not far away, they immediately silenced and left with low eyebrows.

After all, the two tall and strong people in front of them don't look very easy to mess with, so it's better to stay away.

When the two maidservants finally walked away, Wu Song finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I was really scared to death just now, and I thought that the bodies I found were the two bodies I threw into the mountain, and what I almost did was about to be exposed."

"That's not the point, what's that new cause of death? Was he framed, or was there something else going on? ”

Wu Zhi's brows furrowed, and a vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

He couldn't care about eating breakfast anymore, so he took Wu Song directly with him, and the two of them went to the main hall in the front yard of the mansion together, and heard a noisy sound from afar.

When I got closer, Hu Sanniang was standing in the middle of the crowd, with a corpse in front of her.

The floor was covered with straw mats, already covered with a white cloth.

Looking at it like this, you can know that the person is completely dead, and he can't be saved at all.

Hu Sanniang was looking down in contemplation, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the Wu brothers not far away, and was shocked to forget to prepare breakfast.

"I'm really sorry, this incident happened suddenly, let the kitchen hurry up and do it now, it will definitely not let the two of you go hungry for too long."

"It's okay, you don't need to prepare, I'm not hungry anyway, it's a big deal to eat early at noon."

Wu Zhi waved his hand and refused.

He didn't care about the reactions of the others, he squatted down directly, lifted the white cloth and began to observe the corpse in front of him, and after looking at the whole body, he found that there was only one wound, more than half a foot long, as wide as a thumb.

Because the body had been soaked in water for too long, the wound was no longer bleeding.

There were no corpse spots on the body, and there was nothing unusual except for some swelling.

It looks like the body must have been around for a short time.

"Who found the body?"

As he spoke, Wu Zhi turned around and looked at the circle of people standing behind him.

One of the tall and thin men stepped forward, raised his hand and said: "I found it when I went up the mountain to chop wood, it was by the river, I thought he fell asleep and fell in, so I pulled the person up, and then found that he was dead, so I hurried back to Hujiazhuang to report the news." ”

"I see."

Wu Zhi muttered to himself, staring at the corpse on the ground for a long time.

If this tall and thin man is true, it proves that the corpse was in a relatively peaceful state at that time, which would never have been possible under normal circumstances.

Unless someone knocked him unconscious with a stick before he died, or he was poisoned.

Wu Zhi didn't dare to be sloppy when he thought of this.

He crouched down and examined the body again, especially on the head and back, and still found no injuries.

The answer is clear.

Wu Zhi took out a clean silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into the position of the human acupoint, and there was no movement for a long time.

So he stared at the overly obvious scar just now.

The silver needle inserted this time turned jet black in an instant, which was enough to show the fierceness of the poison, and once it cut through a person's skin, it could kill with one blow!

"Which of you knows the dead? Did he have a feud with anyone when he was alive? ”

Wu Zhi stood up and covered the white cloth.

With his hands behind his back, his thoughtful eyes swept over the onlookers, trying to find clues.

But the answers were surprisingly unanimous.

"Lao Zhao is in charge of pulling the carriage in Zhuangzi, he has a good personality on weekdays, he is also diligent in his work, and he never makes enemies with others."

"When my family was in trouble before, he also borrowed me a lot of silver taels, and even if it was repaid intermittently after a year, he didn't complain."

"If someone asks him for help, there is almost no time to refuse."

In a noisy voice, Wu Zhi's brows had been twisted into a Sichuan character.

If the kind of vicious person dies outside, then in fact, things become much simpler, and it is estimated that he was assassinated by some enemy.

But if you meet this kind of honest person who can't find fault, things will be very difficult.

Wu Zhi was silent for a long time and made a decision.

If you want to go to the place where the body was found, you might find some clues.

"Sanniang, you don't have to follow a few of us, such a big thing happened, Hujiazhuang needs someone to preside over the order, you are the first person to deserve it, our brothers will go back with it."

"Then General Wu will bother more."

Hu Sanniang thanked her.

After confirming, Wu Zhi and Wu Song followed the guy just now to the river where the body was found, and turned around in a big circle, except for a faint bloodstain, they didn't see anything abnormal.

Except for a large area of grass that has almost been flattened.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Wu Zhi firmly believes that something must have happened here in the meadow!
