Chapter 166: Murder
The thin servant replied, "Don't mention it, something happened just now, and I have been busy for a while." No, just stop and rest, and you'll be back. ”
"Oh, did that kid run away? The fat servant said hurriedly, and when he heard the sound of "swish", he obviously drew out a long knife.
"Don't be nervous, with me here, how can he run. Besides, this is a death row, and the defense is tight, so that kid has the ability, and he can't get out. After the thin servant was persuaded by him, he listened to the fat servant say, "Oh, that's good, that's good." Hehe. With a "bang", the long knife was sheathed.
"Hey, it's not that I'm nervous, you know, it's a chore. The prisoners inside can't make the slightest mistake, but they have to be taken care of by themselves, otherwise, if something goes wrong, how can we have our lives. As the saying goes, 'be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years', it's better to be careful. The fat servant smirked.
The thin official said: "Also, the money clerk was wiped out, and the murderer has been at large." The county magistrate ordered the head wash to solve the case within one month, otherwise, he would have to be questioned about the head wash.
Seeing that the deadline is approaching, there are still no clues in this case, and in order to save his life, he has no choice but to catch a substitute ghost. I heard that the kid also had a relationship with the head washer, if it weren't for the head wash being cornered, he wouldn't have asked him to be a substitute ghost. ”
The fat servant said: "Well, although it is a bit too much to wash and catch the head, but people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, who told that kid to be stupid and send it to the door in person." I don't think anyone can be blamed for this, if you want to blame that kid is too stupid, and he doesn't know if he is being used. ”
The two of them chatted for a while, snickering from time to time, and even gloating. At this time, although Qiao Zhengyu couldn't see their appearances, two ugly faces appeared in his mind, and he was extremely angry.
After a long while, I only heard the thin official say: "Having said that, people are not as good as heaven." Hey, just now, that kid died suddenly for some reason, and I'm worried about it, whether to report it to the head and catch my head. In case he blames it, I'm afraid you and I can't afford it. ”
"How can this be? Isn't that kid a good man, how can you say that death is death, you can't be mistaken? The fat servant suddenly panicked, and his tone changed.
The thin servant whispered, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the toilet over there and take a look, that kid is lying there now." Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, the fat servant soon came to the door of the latrine.
Covering his nose, he looked inside for a long time, and exclaimed: "Ah, it's really dead, what can I do? According to the regulations of the prison, once a prisoner dies unexpectedly, he is not allowed to move the body without authorization, and he must immediately report it to his superiors." Now not only have you not reported it, but you have also moved the body to the latrine without authorization, if you let the head washer know, how can you and I bear it?"
The thin official said: "Of course I know this, but now that this is the end, what else can you do? However, everything is easy to discuss, we can find a way to deal with it, maybe we can leave this matter perfunctory." ”
The fat official hesitated for a moment and said, "No, you are the only one who provoked this matter, and it is also your business to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with me." I still have a wife and a young man and an old mother at home, but I don't have this pot with you, so I will go and report to the head of the washing, so as not to involve me when I get it. With that, he wanted to leave.
It's just that he hasn't walked yet
moved, and heard the thin official "hehe" sneered, and the fat official said strangely: "What are you laughing at? You can still laugh when such a big thing happens?"
I heard the thin official say: "Okay, if you have the ability, go and sue." But don't blame me for not reminding you, once something happens, I can't escape the crime of dereliction of duty, and you, I'm afraid I can't get out of it. ”
When the fat servant heard this, he was immediately stunned and said unconvinced: "What do I have to do with it, this is all your doing, what does it have to do with me? Don't rely on me, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face." ”
The thin official laughed again, and said: "Have you forgotten that there is another rule in the prison, that is, you must not leave your post without permission during work, otherwise, once found, the light one will be hit with fifty strokes, and the heavy one will be beheaded according to the law." You just went out to gamble after work, if this matter is known to the head washer, what do you think he will do with you?"
"This 。。。。。。 The fat servant suddenly panicked, and did not make a sound for a while.
The thin servant smiled and said, "Actually, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away, and I don't want to do this until the point of last resort." But if someone has to get along with me, that's a matter of fact. I only know that since he didn't let me feel better, I naturally didn't let him feel better, and it was a big deal that everyone would die together. ”
The thin servant said it to this point, and it was obvious that he was desperate. After a long while, I heard the fat servant say: "Okay, since it has come to this point, you and I can only go in and out together." But we can't afford to move the corpse without permission, so we have to come up with a plan to put it aside. ”
The thin official said: "Don't worry about this, I already have an idea in my heart, you come here." ”
Suddenly, there was no sound in the prison, and the two must have been whispering. After a long while, I heard the fat servant say: "Well, this method is good, you can figure it out." ”
The thin servant said: "Of course, as long as we act according to this plan, I promise that not only will we not be punished when the time comes, but maybe we will also praise you and me, now you should rest assured." Ha ha...... ”
"Haha。。。。。。 The two laughed in unison, and they got carried away.
Qiao Zhengyu was suspicious when he heard this: "These two people know at a glance that they are definitely not good, and under the low voice, there must be nothing good." ”
was pondering, only to hear the thin servant say: "You go buy some good wine, go and come back quickly." Then he heard the sound of footsteps and hurried away. Not long after, with the sound of hurried footsteps, I heard the fat official panting, "I'm back." Then, after hearing a few more footsteps, I saw the two of them appear together at the door of the prison.
"What do they want to do, do they want to be detrimental to Han Xiangshui?" Qiao Zhengyu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he looked at them.
"You're not dead yet. But the thin servant took out a small bag from his bosom, then opened it, poured some of the white powder into the wine bottle, and shook it in his hand.
After shaking for a while, he opened the iron door, exchanged glances with the fat servant, and then walked in together.
The iron door was half-closed and half-opened, and through a glimmer of light, Qiao Zhengyu vaguely saw Han Xiangshui lying on the grass bunk. Awakened by the two of them, he sat up from the ground.
The two walked to their side, and the thin servant smiled: "Han Xiangshui, I remember twenty years ago
Today is your birthday, and after so many years, we are old acquaintances. No, our brother has nothing to express, so he specially bought a bottle of good wine as a gift, which is a little bit of our heart. ”
Han Xiangshui heard this, but he sneered and said, "Don't come to this set! Over the years, I have suffered less in prison." Either I will be hungry today, or I will be beaten and tortured tomorrow, if it weren't for my hard bones, I am afraid that I would have gone to see Hades long ago.
"Hmph, neither of you is a good thing, how can you give me wine for no reason. If I'm guessing correctly, you two must have come up with some kind of ghost idea today to entertain the old man. ”
Although he was blind, he knew it, and after a lesson, he scolded the two of them bloody. For a while, both of them were blushing. The two of them also held their breath, did not turn their faces immediately, and endured their temperament without saying a word.
It was only after a long time that the fat servant smiled and said, "Senior Han, you are going to see the outside." After all, we have been together for more than 20 years, and it is only because of the concern of old friends that we send good wine. Yes, we did go a little too far with you before, but who doesn't come through this prison like this. Please don't take it to heart, seniors, just when we apologize to you, can't we? ”
The thin servant nodded and said: "Yes, we errand boys don't look so beautiful on the surface, but in fact, we are also stuffy, very depressed and speechless." If you hadn't had to have some fun to entertain yourself, I'm afraid you would have to be forced out of your illness long ago. If we have something wrong with our predecessors in the past, please don't take it to heart and think about the past. ”
Although the two of them pretended to be submissive and tried their best to please Han Xiangshui, their faces were murderous, and they gritted their teeth with hatred, if they weren't afraid of Han Xiangshui's martial arts, they were afraid that they would have turned their faces on the spot.
After hearing this, Han Xiangshui pondered for a moment and said, "Well, for the sake of the two of you being so sincere, I will accept this wine for the time being." He reached out and took the wine, and did not open it to drink, but set it aside.
When the two men saw that he was not drinking, they both looked at each other and couldn't help but feel anxious.
After a while, I saw the fat servant make a slashing gesture towards the thin servant, and his intention could not be more obvious. When the thin servant saw it, he waved his hand again and again, shaking his head in disagreement. Seeing that he disagreed, the fat official couldn't help frowning, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head, quite helpless.
However, the fat official did not stop there, so he made other gestures, all of which were some harmful methods, but they were all denied by the thin official one by one. In this way, the two of them came and went, making various gestures from time to time, and everything they did was clearly seen by Qiao Zhengyu like acting. The vicious heart has been fully revealed, and Qiao Zhengyu's heart is frightened and furious.
"What, I've accepted your gifts, aren't you leaving?" Han Xiangshui heard that the two of them hadn't left, stretched his waist, and muttered. Then he fell to the ground, apparently ready to rest.
When the two of them heard this, their faces changed in shock, and they immediately stopped gesturing in a panic.
The thin official reacted quickly, "oh", and said: "Senior, we know that you like to drink osmanthus wine in the west of the city, so we specially went to the west of the city to buy it and send it to you." In order to show our sincerity, can the seniors take a sip, so that we don't run in vain. ”
