Chapter 117: The Name of the Knife Slaughter
Wei Qimu came out of the Zongbo gambling house, covered in blood, and his traces were drenched, like a demon who had just come out of hell. Wei Qimuxin took a fast horse outside the gambling hall and galloped towards the other side of Changzhou County in the night. Because at the other end of Changzhou County, there is a luxurious courtyard, which is the most famous place in the city to find flowers and willows. In Wei Qimu's opinion, there is a knife on the head of the color word, and the drowning person is even more hateful than the person who is addicted to gambling, so he should naturally be killed.
Wei Qimu urged the horse to run, and at the same time threw the money and silk wrapped in the Zongbo gambling house on the road, and he rode to the west of the city, and the silver was just scattered. Although Wei Qimu was addicted to murder and killed more than 100 people in a row, he still had good and evil in his heart. He couldn't help but think, "This kind of killing people and scattering wealth can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor? Can you afford the word 'hero'?"
Wei Qimu didn't stop thinking about it, and he saw a bright courtyard in front of him. Outside the courtyard was hung long red lanterns, which lit up the road as bright as day. Not only that, there is a gurgling stream in front of the window, and there is a willow outside the door, but it is a pity that it is late autumn, the stream is not dry, and the willow is not broken or remnant - but in Wei Qimu's view, this dry water residue has a special charm.
On the lintel of the courtyard, it is written that there are three flying words of "Tibetan Clothes Building", and there are several delicate women with heavy makeup in front of the door, who are showing off their coquettishness, soliciting travelers.
Wei Qimu dismounted and went straight into the sword. When the girl outside the door saw that he was covered in blood and his face was hideous, she was so frightened that she went straight to the courtyard. Wei Qimu broke in, but he killed people whenever he met - of course, only men.
There was chaos in the green building, the girls were so frightened that they hid themselves as beasts under the table, and the men could not avoid it, and they all became the souls of the sword. When Wei Qimu was in the middle of the slaughter, there was a sudden shout, and a steel knife flew to frame the "goose tail" ink knife in Wei Qimu's hand.
Wei Qimu shook open the steel knife and stared at it, but saw that the man was in green clothes and black boots, about thirty years old, with a round head and pointed chin, iron eyebrows and steel beard, his body was very athletic, and his arms were still long.
Wei Qimu couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man replied loudly: "Lao Tzu Chu Leopard, who are you, dare to be wild like this!"
"Chu Bao, An Liang...... Eliminate violence and Anliang?" Wei Qimu chewed on these two names in his mouth, and asked again: "Then who are you Anliang?"
When Chu Bao saw Wei Qimu mention An Liang, he couldn't help but withdraw the steel knife and replied, "He is my second brother, do you recognize him?"
Wei Qimu heard it, and felt funny in his heart, the two brothers were called "Eliminate Violence and Anliang", but they were doing the work of a gambling house brothel, so he immediately laughed and said: "Oh, I had a gamble with him, and I won his head by luck." β
Chu Bao said angrily: "You...... Kill him?"
Wei Qimu shook his head: "No, it won his head." β
Chu Bao was even more furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "My second brother's gambling skills are amazing, how can he lose to you?
Wei Qimu took the knife and said in his heart, "This Chu Leopard's martial arts are far above that Anliang. β
After three moves, the two of them suddenly heard someone upstairs shouting in a deep voice: "Who is making noise here!"
Wei Qimu looked up and saw a man in a round-necked silk robe standing by the fence upstairs, about forty or fifty years old, with a gentle face without losing a trace of fortitude, like a righteous scholar, looking at Wei Qimu from upstairs at this time.
Wei Qimu asked, "Are you the master here?"
The man did not hide it, and said truthfully: "Yes, I am the commander of Changzhou County, and I am also the lord of this 'Tibetan Clothes Building'. β
Wei Qimu was slightly surprised when he heard this, although it is the fashion of this dynasty for officials to raise prostitutes, and everyone knows it, but it is very rare for this official to secretly open a brothel.
Wei Qimu suddenly smiled and said, "Since you are here, I should not go to the county government to look for you." β
The Changzhou County Commander frowned slightly, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" If there is a grievance, this county will uphold justice for you. β
Wei Qimu said: "Tsk, someone has set up a gambling hall and opened a brothel, which hinders Wei's eyes, and the county magistrate may administer justice for me?"
When the Changzhou County Commander heard this, he was slightly annoyed and said: "Others set up gambling halls and open brothels to make their own living, and if you don't like to go, you won't go, how can it hinder you?"
Wei Qimu deliberately frowned and said, "In this way, the county magistrate doesn't care?"
The Changzhou County Commander flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "This county can't manage it!"
Wei Qimu smiled wickedly: "Then Wei has to take care of it himself." Before the words fell, he suddenly made a move to "know the small and forget the big", and slashed at Chu Leopard not far away.
That Chu Leopard was listening to Wei Qimu talking with the county order, and suddenly saw Wei Qimu slashing at him, and he was immediately angry and raised his knife to greet him. It's just that Chu Leopard hurriedly raised the knife, and its strength was difficult to exert, but Wei Qimu's knife was a sharp rise in the knife, only to hear the "click" twice, the steel knife in Chu Leopard's hand was broken into three pieces, and fell to the ground, the knife momentum was still unabated, and it was slashing on Chu Leopard's face. Chu Leopard's eyes were frightened, and he still didn't believe it, but his body fell to the ground with a bang, and he was dying. Wei Qimu killed Chu Leopard with a knife, and did not delay for a moment, but jumped upstairs in one fell swoop, and raised another knife, wanting to chop the Changzhou County Order.
Changzhou County Commander saw that Wei Qimu killed Chu Bao first, and then jumped into the pavilion, and said in shock: "You dare to assassinate the court officials!"
Wei Qimu ignored it, just took out the knife, and saw that the "wild goose tail" ink knife was about to split on the body of the Changzhou County Order, and suddenly a figure sprang out of the embroidery pavilion and protected the Changzhou County Order, so that Wei Qimu had to put away the knife.
The person who was guarding in front of the Changzhou County Commander was a beautiful girl in green clothes and blue shoes. This woman's name is called green silk, is the head card in this "Tibetan clothing building", born is the eyebrows and apricot eyes, graceful, with the appearance of the flower and the moon, the state of the fish and geese, and learned the rhythm of calligraphy and painting, it can be said that the color and art are good, and the fierceness is like fire, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, even in the whole Suzhou is a rare stunner.
The name of this "Tibetan clothing building" naturally comes from the hand of the Changzhou County Order, which is to take the meaning of "women are like clothes, hidden high-rise buildings". The commander of Changzhou County is a scholar, and the girls here are all named by him one by one, and they have their own origins. The word "green silk" comes from the sentence "green silk, women's governance" in "The Book of Songs, Green Clothes".
Wei Qimu saw that the woman in green was desperate, and he was not afraid, and said, "Are you willing to die for him?"
Green Silk frowned slightly, and said resolutely: "Not bad." β
Wei Qimu said suspiciously: "He treats you consistently?"
Green Silk frowned without twisting the lock, there was a trace of grievance, and said softly: "No." β
Wei Qimu got these two words, suddenly unfolded his body, parted the green silk with one hand, and swung the knife towards the Changzhou County Order. In an instant, the head of the Changzhou county commander had been cut off and rolled downstairs!
Wei Qimu's body sword technique is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he has killed the county order, and shouted at everyone: "The county order is dead, this is the borderless land, you all have free bodies, go all!"
After a while, there was a few squirming sounds, and only a few women fled from the green building, while most of the other women stood in place, panicked and at a loss.
Seeing this, Wei Qimu exclaimed again: "You can leave with confidence!"
One of the girls said, "We live here all the year round, and we have no worries about food and clothing, but now where are we going?"
When Wei Qimu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The fish have been trapped in the tank for a long time, and they don't know how big the river and the sea are, how sad it is!"
Wei Qimu was about to persuade again, when he suddenly felt a chill behind him, which made him feel a chill in his heart. He turned to look, and saw the green silk girl, staring at him with round eyes, and her eyes were very cold, and there was sorrow, anger, and hatred in themβit seemed endless!
The green silk girl finally spoke, and said in a cold voice: "I am a prostitute, I am a prostitute, what do I have to do with you? Why do you kill people here!"
Wei Qimu was accused by the girl in green, and he was unhappy, and replied casually: "If you abuse a good family like this, you will die innocently!"
Green Silk suddenly burst into tears in her eyes, and said coldly: "Although we have become prostitutes and have suffered lightly, the county has ordered the adults to treat us like father and daughter, and this 'Tibetan clothes building' is a place for us to live and live, and now you kill your father and destroy people's homes, do you want me to be grateful to you?"
Wei Qimu only felt that this girl in green was stupid, this county order was just to make fun of them and sell them for money, even if there were small favors, where could it be that they were evil? Wei Qimu was bored with himself, but he felt ashamed and indignant, and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the green silk girl suddenly jumped down and jumped from the upstairs towards the head of the county order!
Although the green silk is dead, he still looks at the head of the Changzhou County Order, so as to make his ambition clear.
Wei Qimu was at a loss, and he heard a shout at the door: "Wei Qimu, how many more people do you want to kill! You have killed more than 100 people in the Zongbo gambling house, do you still want to kill here!"
The person who came was Wei Zhi's death, and he was afraid that Wei Qimu would continue to kill people, so he chased along the road, but he was always one step late. When Wei Zhisheng chased from the Zongbo gambling house to the Tibetan clothes building, he heard the green silk words falling from the building, and he saw the corpses all over the ground, and his heart was sad and angry, so he spoke out.
As soon as Wei Zhi's words came out, the girls in the building were even more panicked, it turned out that the black-clothed young man who killed people with a knife was not a bodhisattva who saved the suffering, but a villain who killed people and oversold goods.
Wei Qimu has been cold in his heart since he hit the green silk and fallen from the building, and now he is even more impatient when he hears Wei Zhi's scolding. He thought that although he was on a killing spree, what he was doing was to punish evil and promote good, how could he have expected that this situation would be like this today?
Wei Qimu was originally a kind and compassionate person by nature, but he became lonely and indignant because he was framed and besieged and killed on Dongting Mountain; he became no longer merciful because he tolerated the wicked and caused the tragic death of his low-eyed father and daughter; and now he began to gradually become indifferent because he was accused of fighting evil with evil and killing evil to save good.
Wei Qimu's heart was at a loss, and he became more and more cold, so he simply bumped into Wei Zhi's death, took the road away, and left the "Tibetan Clothes Building" alone.
Although Wei Qimu left the Tibetan clothes building, he was still in panic all day long in Suzhou, so that there were no pedestrians during the day and closed the door at night. In that alley, there began to be rumors that there was a murderous demon who used a knife, called Wei Qimu, and behind his back, he was called "Knife Slaughter".
Wei Qimu didn't know that he had been called such a nickname overnight, and now he no longer forcibly kills, because he didn't know whether killing was right or wrong, and he didn't know where to go. Since leaving the Tibetan clothes building, Wei Qimu has been in a mess all day long, not knowing where to go, not knowing where to end, not distinguishing between north and south, not distinguishing between cold and heat, eating when hungry, and sleeping when he is lacking.
Wei Qimu once passed by the place where the low-eyebrow father and daughter were buried on the bank of the Songjiang River, and that night he sat alone on the riverside, looking at the vast river, and suddenly heard the sound of pipa in the river, and someone sang:
Childe was originally a lover, and the wind passed through the valley.
Once accidentally trapped, how many innocent people have become ghosts?
Its statement is pure, like a confession, and the tone seems to be a routine persuasion, and it is like a temporary entrustment. When Wei Qimu heard this song, he couldn't help but think of lowering his eyebrows again, and a sour feeling arose in his heart, and he muttered, "Lower eyebrows, do you think I'm wrong too?"
......
On this day, Wei Qimu finally got out of the mountains and came to the avenue. There is a simple tea shop next to the road, and a few pedestrians sit in it. Wei Qimu went in and sat down, the tea seller was a pair of elderly Weng Yuan, and he didn't feel that he was sour.
"Heh, what's going on in Suzhou these days, there are two Yamas in a row!"
"Which two?"
"Don't you know? One is the 'knife slaughter' Wei Qimu, he killed hundreds of people overnight without blinking!"
"That's a murderer, who's the other?"
The other is a bit mysterious, and anyone who falls into his hands will not survive, so no one knows what he sounds like. However, for every person he kills, he will leave a name - called 'Painting the Valley Lord'!"
"Painting the Valley Lord!"
