Post-Mortem (2)

"Come on, bring out the body of the owner of Ding Zhuang. ”

Ye Yiping shouted out of the hall.

"Yes, Second Owner!"

Outside the hall, the four gray-clothed servants immediately knelt on one knee and said in unison with their fists clenched.

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the side hall.

"If the owner of Ding Zhuang was really killed by Ding Yili, then what should Second Brother Ye do?"

A young man with a scar on his face sitting opposite Fourth Brother Qin suddenly said.

The scars on the young man's face were criss-crossed, like a Go chessboard, and when he laughed, his whole face was almost cracked, like a demon in the eighteenth layer of hell, making people dare not look directly.

Every scar is a proof that he has fought with his opponents again and again, and every scar is the result of his rubbing shoulders with death again and again.

Everyone who left a scar on his face also paid a terrible price.

Although he is young, no one dares to underestimate him, not even Ye Bieqiu, because a person's ability does not grow with age, it will only slowly accumulate with experience.

The young man's name is Li Jiu, he is a rare young hero in the Jiangnan area, a pair of eagle claws have long been famous in Jiangnan, and he met Ding 12 and Ye Yiping in his early years.

Ye Yiping said: "Whether Brother Ding was killed by my nephew or not, I haven't known it yet, Brother Li Jiu said this, it's a little premature." ”

Li Jiudao: "Brother Ding is like a brother to us, I only hope that after the real culprit is found out, Second Brother Ye will not cover up." ”

Wei Lao Dao: "Brother Li Jiuxian, don't worry, if the real murderer can be found, I believe that Second Brother Ye will definitely break him into pieces." ”

Li Jiudao: "What if the murderer is really Ding Yili?"

Ye Yiping was obviously a little hesitant, and said, "This ......"

Li Jiu said again: "Second Brother Ye has forgotten the kindness with Brother Ding in the past?"

Ye Yiping's face was heavy, and he said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just ......."

Li Jiu interrupted him and said, "If you haven't forgotten, then you should fulfill your promise and severely punish the murderer." ”

Ye Yiping finally nodded and said, "Okay, if the murderer is really Ding Yili, then I will never cover it up." ”

Li Jiudao: "Okay, this is the good brother of the owner of Ding Zhuang." ”

Ye Biqiu didn't speak, he rarely spoke when he thought, because he often felt that talking would distract him, so he ignored many details that others wouldn't notice.

What was he thinking?

In a short time, Ding Txi's body had been carried to the hall.

Everyone came over one after another, their faces heavy, no one spoke, no one could speak.

In the dim light, Ding Twelve's cheeks were shriveled and black, his hands and feet were confused, his head was tilted to the side, and he died a miserable death.

Three of the dozen or so men had weakened their legs and could barely stand up, and two others had already run out of the hall, their hands on the walls, shaking and vomiting.

I haven't eaten in the first place, so where can I get food in my stomach to vomit?

All that came out was bitter water, even bile.

The clothes on the corpse were very tattered, the upper body was almost naked, and there were several fatal wounds on the left chest, right shoulder, and abdomen, which were more than two inches long.

Li Jiu said: "You see, the scars on Master Ding's body are all caused by hidden weapons, and they are all fatal injuries, isn't this obvious enough?"

Anyone can hear it, and what he means is that Ding Yili is the real murderer, don't cover him up, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

No one spoke, these people were all old rivers and lakes licking blood from the knife edge, how could they not even see a wound.

They acquiesced when they didn't speak.

Ye Beiqiu squatted down and pressed the wound of the corpse, looked at the corpse spots, and said, "If these wounds are really cut by hidden weapons, then don't you think that this wound is a little too big?"

If Ding Twelve was killed by Ding Yili's hidden weapon, the wound was indeed a little too wide and too long, and if you look closely, it really doesn't look like a wound caused by a hidden weapon.

Boss Wei also squatted down and pressed the wound, and said in surprise: "This is not a wound caused by a hidden weapon, it is more like a cut with a knife or sword." ”

Anyone will make mistakes sometimes, especially those who feel that they are experienced and experienced, because they feel that they can't be wrong, so they are more likely to make mistakes than everyone else.

Everyone didn't believe it, even what Boss Wei said, they couldn't believe it, because they believed in their own eyes and what they saw with their own eyes.

Lord Zhao Bao was stunned, and seemed to be a little disbelieving, so he also squatted down and looked at the wound carefully, and said, "Sure enough, it was a wound stabbed with a sword, but the wound was cut again with a hidden weapon." ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Gang Master Huo had a flash of inspiration and said, "Therefore, there is another person who killed the owner of Ding Zhuang, and that person is just planting the blame on Ding Yili's head." ”

Ye Yiping breathed a sigh of relief, his face seemed to ease a lot, and said, "I said it all, Yili is the only son of Brother Ding, how could he kill his own father." ”

Fourth Brother Qin nodded and said, "It seems that we are indeed wrong to blame the young owner." ”

Li Jiu suddenly said, "Then how does Second Brother Ye know that your nephew doesn't know how to swordsmanship? What if he is also a master of swordsmanship?"

Ye Yiping said: "This ......"

Lord Zhao said angrily: "Now that it's like this, what do Brother Li Jiu want? Could it be that you have a grudge against Ding Yili, you must have him die?"

Li Jiudao: "I have no enmity with the young master, I just want to go to the young master's room to see, if he is really a swordsman with excellent swordsmanship, then there must be a good sword hidden in his room." ”

Zhao Bao said: "What if there is none?"

Li Jiudao: "If not, then I will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Fourth Brother Qin sighed: "Now that this matter can be proved not to be done by Ding Yili, why should Brother Li Jiu be persistent." ”

Li Jiu also sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but I always feel that this matter is a little strange, so it's better to find out." ”

Ye Yiping said: "Okay, the body is not afraid of the shadow, then let's go to Ding Yili's room to have a look, if there is no sword in the room, then this matter can no longer be suspected of Ding Yili in the future." ”

"Good. ”

Everyone walked to Ding Yili's room.

The moon hung above the treetops, and the moonlight had sprinkled all over the autumn rain villa, and it also stained the window paper in front of Ding Yili's room.

Everyone stood in front of the door of Ding Yili's room, a little puzzled, because when they walked all the way, they found that the other rooms were not too big, only this one, which was very wide and large, at least three or four times larger than the other rooms.

Standing in front of such a room, even people look a little petite.

"This is the room of the young master of Ding Shao?"

Iron Fist said with a frown.

Ye Yiping said: "Yes, this is indeed Yili's room. ”

Lord Zhao also said, "But...... How could Ding Yili's room be so big. ”

Ye Yiping said: "Yili is my eldest brother's only son, and it is natural for my eldest brother to be kind to him." ”

Li Jiu said: "Don't say so much, let's go and have a look first, and see if there are any mysteries in this room." ”

The crowd nodded.

"You four, go and open the door. ”

Ye Yiping shouted behind him.

"Yes, Second Owner. ”

The four gray-clothed servants behind him said in unison.

After speaking, the four of them walked to the door and slowly opened the door of the room.

The moonlight was like water, and the bright moonlight had shone through the door into Ding Yili's room, and under such moonlight, there was almost no need to light the lamp.

The best way to know what a person is like is to look in his room.

A childish and playful person must have a room full of all kinds of playthings, and a learned person will always have a book or two in the room.

Ye Bieqiu also thought that Ding Yili's room must have been full of books.

But he was wrong.

The moment the door opened, everyone felt a chill, a chill coming out of the room.

Everyone was stunned.

I saw a Qingfeng long sword placed on the sandalwood table in the middle of the room, and the sword had not yet been unsheathed, and it was already cold and murderous in the moonlight.

Everyone felt a chill emanating from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone slowly walked into the room, only to see that although the room was very large, there was only a bed, a table, a chair, and a Qingfeng long sword.

In addition to the Qingfeng long sword, there are also various hidden weapons on the table, among which most of them are small daggers, which are exactly the same as the small daggers in Ye Beiqiu's arms.

At this time, Ye Bieqiu found an iron basin under the table, an iron basin used to burn paper money.

Ye Beiqiu squatted down, picked up the ashes and took a look, and found that there was still a small piece of white paper in the basin that had not been burned.

Could it be that when Ding Yili was burning something, he suddenly had something very important, and then left in a hurry?

Or was Ding Yili afraid that others would see it when he burned something, so he hurriedly hid it before it was finished?

Ye Beiqiu didn't speak, and secretly wrapped this small piece of unburned white paper in a handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms.

Li Jiu suddenly said: "Second Brother Ye, you see, a person who can't use a sword, how can there be such a sword in the room?"

Ye Yiping's expression was already stiff, as if he had been slapped hard.

"This ...... This can't be, he's obviously the only son of the eldest brother, this ......"

Ye Yiping said with a heavy face.

Li Jiu sighed and said, "Whoever achieves great things, his relatives can also be killed, throughout the ages, are there still few such things?"

At this time, Lord Zhao also spoke, and said, "We didn't believe that Ding Yili was such a person, but now we ......."

"What can a sword prove? It's not just a sword in his room, could it be that everyone who wears a sword is a murderer?"

Fourth Brother Qin said sharply.

Li Jiu's voice became louder, and he shouted: "He is a person who keeps saying that he can't use a sword, why is there a sword hidden in the room? Isn't this very suspicious?"

Fourth Brother Qin said: "This ......"

Li Jiu said again: "Have you forgotten Brother Ding's kindness to you?"

Zhao Bao said: "We haven't forgotten, it's just this ......"

Li Jiudao: "If you haven't forgotten, then you should severely punish the murderer and avenge the owner of Ding Zhuang." ”

The faces of the people were heavy, and they did not speak.

Li Jiu said again: "Qiu Xian, Boss Wei, Second Brother Ye, you say, don't you?"

Wei Lao Dao: "I think killing people should indeed pay for their lives, no matter who it is, Qiu Xian, Second Brother Ye, what do you say?"

Ye Yiping said: "This ......"

Ye Bieqiu said: "I think we should talk to Ding Yili first." ”

Gang Master Huo was a little puzzled, and said, "Looking for Ding Yili, what are you looking for him?"

Wei Lao Dao: "What Qiu Xian means is that even if the murderer is really Ding Yili, we should ask the reason for the matter. ”

Fourth Brother Qin said, "That's right, I also agree with Qiu Xian's proposal. ”

Ye Yiping said: "In that case, then everyone come with me." ”

After speaking, Ye Yiping had already led everyone to the firewood room.

The firewood room is not far from Ding Yili's room, and there is only a garden full of flowers in the middle

There is only one path in the garden that leads to the firewood house.

Although the moon is not very round, somehow the moonlight is particularly bright and gentle.

In the garden under the moonlight, a hazy light mist has formed, like the smoke exhaled from the old man's mouth, gently floating, and gently blown away by this spring breeze, beautiful and mysterious.

The stars are shining, the crescent moon is embedded in the sky, and the fragrance of flowers floats in the wind.

The moonlight is hazy, the garden is fragrant, and the paths are quiet

No matter who you are, under this moonlight, in this garden, on this path, you will feel extremely comfortable and beautiful.

What about Ye Beiqiu? Will he feel the same way?

No.

Ye Beiqiu, walking on the garden path, only felt that under this kind of moonlight, it was very lonely and desolate, although there were many people in the garden now, but he felt that everyone was far away from him, and he had even gradually begun to experience Liu Chen's, that kind of loneliness, that kind of loneliness.

Now he suddenly wants to drink, and suddenly he wants to find a friend who can talk freely day and night, sit down and drink it together for a day and a night, only talk about the wind and the moon, and never get drunk and do not return.

Ye Bieqiu had even begun to regret a little, regretting why he didn't have a few more drinks with Liu Chen at noon.

Perhaps, only people who are truly lonely can experience the loneliness in the hearts of others.

Just like only people who really stand in a high place can experience the artistic conception of others who are not cold in a high place.

Not far out of the garden, everyone came to the firewood house.

The firewood room is very exquisitely furnished, with sandalwood gold wire beds, Taishi chairs, nanmu tables, and a pot of wine and a plate of tomato scrambled eggs on the table.

This is obviously because Ye Yiping was afraid of his nephew, so he specially asked someone to clean it.

Although it was far away, Ye Bieqiu could smell it as soon as he smelled it, and what was in the wine pot was the high-grade Qionghua dew from Nanzhou.

Under the moonlight, Ding Yili's face was even paler.

"Nephew, we've come to see you. ”

Ye Yiping said softly.

Ding Yili is still eating and drinking, eating a mouthful of food and drinking two sips of wine.

"It turns out that the second uncle is here, how about it, does the second uncle want to come in and have a drink?"

Ding Yili said lightly.

Although he was talking, the movements in his hands did not stop, he was still eating and drinking.

Ye Yiping said with a smile: "No, no, the second uncle came this time to ask you something." ”

Ding Yili said: "What's the matter?"
