"It's dead!" Lao Dao tried Shangguan Jingbo with his hand and snorted. "Maybe we've wronged him. ”
"The people in the village are dead, and there is no way to verify what he said. It doesn't matter if he's wronged or not, Xiu'er won't be able to come back anyway. The old nun was reluctant to admit her mistake and argued forcefully.
"Let's go, let's go to Xiu'er's study first to find out what Shangguan Jingbo's birthday gift is for Xiu'er. Lao Dao was driven by curiosity, and said to go, and the old nun followed. "Cloud Villa" They have been here several times, and the road is quite familiar.
came to Shangguan Zhaoxiu's study.
Sure enough, there is a simple, delicate and locked brocade box on the desk. The key rests on the brocade box.
Opening the brocade box, Lao Dao and the old nun were a little surprised and surprised. Because the brocade box contains the title deed of "Cloud Villa", the key to the important land of each treasury...... Shangguan Jingbo obviously wanted to hand over all the family business to Shangguan Zhaoxiu on his twentieth birthday.
There is no doubt about the facts.
"Senior brother, it seems that we are wrong to blame Shangguan Jingbo. "The old nun can only tell the truth.
"It seems so!" Lao Dao could no longer find a reason to deny it.
"The man has been killed, and he has committed suicide, what should I do?" said the old nun, at a loss.
"What else can I do? Anyway, there is no evidence, no witnesses, and it doesn't matter how others like to guess what they say. It's a big deal that in the future, when the Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival are celebrated, burn more paper for the souls of the dead in this mountain villa, so that they don't pester us. Lao Dao understated. For him, killing so many wrong people, although he regrets a little, but he doesn't feel guilty.
Some people kill for fame and fortune, for revenge; And some killings are just to vent their anger and anger against uncertain objects. The latter is more terrible than the former, because most of the victims of the latter's violence are innocent. The old Taoist and the old nun are more greedy and cruel than both: they want revenge and they want to vent their anger.
"Yes, if you want to blame Shen Tianpeng, the group of Yunfei at the North Gate, if it weren't for them, our Xiu'er wouldn't have died; If Xiu'er hadn't died, how could we have killed Shangguan Jingbo's family?" said the old nun. The two complemented each other, used some crooked reasoning, washed and bleached themselves, and excused themselves for killing innocents indiscriminately.
All evil souls can find a proper justification for all the inhumane crimes they have committed, even if such reasons seem absurd and shameless to ordinary people.
"Is this villa still burning?" Thinking about the keys to the land deed treasury in the brocade box, the old nun couldn't bear to say.
"Burn, burn them all, and we must not leave any evidence to the government that can point to us. We can be fearless of the masters of all sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, but we had better not mess with the government and leave them with a handle. If it is surrounded and suppressed by the court and the officers and soldiers, it will not be difficult for you and me to retreat, but it will be difficult for you and me to return to the Phoenix Ridge of Jindou Mountain, which you and I have worked hard for more than 20 years, so it will be difficult for people to give up. Lao Dao analyzed, "As for the property in this villa, Xiu'er is gone, what is the use of keeping it? The gold and silver treasures that we originally hoarded for Xiu'er on the Phoenix Ridge of Jindou Mountain will not be used up in a few lifetimes, so what good is it to have more? Don't forget, we still have the business to avenge Xiu'er. ”
"It's still Senior Brother who thinks about it, burn it, burn it to these dead people, and it can be regarded as our compensation for them. The old nun said brazenly.
So the two of them moved some of the dead bodies outside the house into the house, set fire to them, and left......
