Qinghua Town Series

Wu Wei knew the dangers in the depths of the mountain forest, but he had no other way. If the officers and soldiers were brought into the village, the casualties in the village would be even greater, so they took the birth plan and went straight into the depths of Yunlong Mountain...

After more than ten days, only Wu Wei walked out of the forest with a haggard figure and ragged clothes, and all the brothers who went in with him disappeared, not even the birthday card.

Asked what happened to Wu Wei, he was just in a trance and couldn't tell, as if he had lost his memory, but when he heard that everyone was going to go into the mountain to find people and birth dates, he jumped up emotionally and refused to let anyone in. Mountain.

Wu Wei's words and deeds were too suspicious, Boss Yu and the others began to wonder if Wu Wei embezzled the batch of birthday cards, killed his brother in the mountains and then pretended that an accident happened...

Wu Wei couldn't tell the whereabouts of the birth date. It seemed that he had lost his memory after entering the mountain, but Boss Yu and the others became more and more suspicious. In the end, the two tore their faces and Wu Wei injured him. Many people escaped and took over the nearby hills to make themselves kings. There were frequent conflicts between the two groups over territory and business.

No matter how much Wu Wei and his men were squeezed out by Heiyun Jiulongzhai, Wu Wei never gave up and left, so Boss Yu and the others believed even more—the birth date outline was hidden somewhere in the depths of Yunlong Mountain. The reason for leaving is to have the opportunity to get back that batch of property in the future.

"And then? How did this batch of things make your second brother disappear?"

Hearing Qin Can mentioning his second brother, Ah Yi's face became angry again, and he slapped the armrest of the chair with his palm, forcefully knocking off half of the wood.

"My second brother's disappearance is not because of the missing birthday card, but..."

Four years after Wuwei set up another mountain, not only the power of Heiyun Jiulongzhai has grown, Wuxi Mountain has also become a scale that cannot be underestimated.

The two cottages usually do not communicate with each other, but Ah Yi's second brother, A Liang, met a girl named Yunniang from Heiyun Jiulong Village in Qinghua Town, and then they fell in love with each other and promised each other for life.

Naturally, the two sides were opposed by their respective villages, especially Heiyun Jiulong Village. Seeing that there was no way to separate them, they put Yunniang under house arrest and prevented them from seeing each other.

After a month of this, in the morning, the person who brought Yunniang food found that Yunniang passed away suddenly.

Yunniang's death dealt a big blow to Ah Liang, and soon after, Ah Liang suddenly disappeared without leaving a trace.

Qin Can thought for a while, then interrupted A Yi with a frown, "If you say this, it doesn't mean that your second brother's disappearance has something to do with Heiyun Kowloon Walled, maybe your second brother is too sad and doesn't want to stay in this place, so Did you go away while you were not paying attention?"

"Impossible!" Ah Yi was furious, "I know my second brother best, he won't leave without saying a word for no reason."

Then Ayi raised his finger and pointed to the people present at Heiyun Jiulongzhai.

"You must have done it! You must have killed my second brother and hid it for revenge! Give me an explanation for what you say today!"

Keng!

The people at Heiyun Jiulongzhai picked up the guy at hand and stood up almost at the same time before Ah Yi's yelling came to an end.

Someone yelled, "If I want to explain, I have to ask you, you haven't said who stole Yunniang's body and humiliated it, so that the deceased will not live in peace!"

After saying this, the entire Hall of Loyalty and Justice immediately fell silent... Ah Yi, who was still very excited, froze for a moment, and looked away.

Qin Can asked, "Who will tell me what happened?"

The person from Heiyun Jiulongzhai who had spoken earlier stepped forward.

"On the second day after Yunniang was buried, people from Mount Wuxi brought back Yunniang's body, which was covered in stab wounds, and claimed that Yunniang was a fraud."

Another person next to him continued, "Yun Niang went into the soil well, our brothers on the mountain saw it with their own eyes, tell me, how did a dead person go to your Wuxi Mountain?

"Besides, the corpse you brought back was full of knife wounds. Can this sentence "deceive the corpse" explain it? I can see that your people dug Yunniang's tomb, humiliated her corpse, and then used " Trying to get away with such clumsy excuses as "Fake Corpse!"!"

The people from Wuxi Mountain shouted: "What are we doing to humiliate Yunniang's body? When we found her in the cottage, she was covered with stab wounds. We sent her back out of good intentions, otherwise we would have thrown her in the ditch, otherwise How could so many things come out of nowhere like now?"

"Then why do you say that Ah Liang's disappearance is our killer?"

The two groups below started arguing sentence by sentence. Qin Can sat there with one hand on the armrest of the chair and supported his head. Hearing their quarrel, he felt that there were many doubts about what the two groups of people said.

After Yunniang's death, she was buried in the earth, how could she appear in Wuxi Mountain, and where did the knife wound on her body come from?

Where did A Liang go?

The cottages on both sides only objected to the two being together, Yunniang committed suicide, and the people of Wuxi Mountain had no reason to insult her body, so that she would not live in peace after death.But if the people in Heiyun Jiulongzhai believe that the people in Wuxishan humiliated Yunniang's body, then it is very possible to retaliate against A Liang...

"One is abnormal after death, and the other's whereabouts are unknown... I think it's better to examine Yunniang's body first." Cen Xi lowered his waist and whispered in Qin Can's ear.

Cen Xi's father was the Minister of Dali Temple. He had been exposed to many suspicious and serious cases since he was a child, and he often went to places like the autopsy room. He was naturally more experienced in handling cases than Qin Can.

But when Qin Can heard that an autopsy was coming, his face changed first, but because of his face, he still insisted on not letting himself lose his composure.

"I have to take a look at Yunniang's body first, and at the same time interrogate the relevant people, etc., and then make another decision. During this period, the two parties must not dispute this matter again, and must cooperate with this officer in the investigation, otherwise they will all be disrupted. This official handles the case as a reason and will be severely punished!"

As Qin Can said, he really got into the show, and he slapped the teacup in his hand like a gavel, but all the tea in it came out and spilled on his sleeve.

After the people in Wuxi Mountain left, the people in Heiyun Jiulong Village also dispersed. In fact, this incident has been going on for more than half a year. During this period, the two villages would use this as the fuse to start frictions every once in a while. , someone always gets hurt.

While everyone was getting used to it, they gradually forgot to look for the strangeness behind this incident, but as soon as they heard the three words Wu Xishan, they believed that the other party was here to find trouble. If Qin Can was not suddenly thrown out by Yan San, And asked him to deal with this matter, it is estimated that it will be nothing after the fight today.

Qin Can and Cen Xi were discussing what happened between the two cottages as they walked towards their room.

Qin Can was dragged by Yan San by one leg when he was dragged out of Zhongyi Hall, and Qin Can was knocked. Now he is limping a bit, rubbing his waist with his hands from time to time, and complaining, "Why am I so unlucky? Ever since I arrived in Yunlong Shan, nothing good happened!"

Cen Xi glanced at him and sneered, "Who wants you to watch the fun? If you listened to me, the two of us would have left here long ago, and now we can't leave even if we want to."

Qin Can showed helplessness, "Who knew that bastard Yan San would use this trick?"

"I think it looks like you obediently jumped into the trap dug by others."

Qin Can was dissatisfied, "Cen Xi, who are you speaking for?"

Sensing Qin Can's sullenness, Cen Xi stopped teasing him, but got serious, "Qin Can, what do you think about Yun Niang and A Liang?"

Speaking of this, Qin Can was shocked, remembering what Cen Xi said just now about going to the autopsy, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Cen Xi, you said you're going for an autopsy, but you're really going?"

"Of course we're going!" Cen Xi's attitude was firm, "Dead people can also 'talk', have you forgotten what my father said?"

"Remember, remember..." Qin Can had a painful expression on his face after eating spoiled food, "In this world, only the dead can't tell lies..."

Thinking of going to see the dead body, Qin Can's stomach churns. He is not like Cen Xi who can chew on the neck of a duck while discussing with Wu Zuo what he ate before he died...

It's disgusting to think about.

"Cen Xi, during the autopsy, can I..."

Crack!A crisp and cracking sound fell beside my ears.

Qin Can raised his head and saw Yan San sitting on the porch, throwing the peeled walnuts into his mouth, looking at himself in a leisurely way, as if asking him: Can I do something?Keep talking.At the same time, I reached into the bag hanging on my waist and took out another walnut. When I squeezed it with my fingers, there was another "click".

One corner of Qin Can's mouth almost reached the base of his ears, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

After eating the walnut in his hand, Yan San stood up, brushed off the crumbs, and walked up to them, "When are you going to do the autopsy? Yunniang's grave is at the back of the mountain, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. I'll take you there. "As he spoke, he turned to Qin Can, "The magistrate also wants to go together?"

Facing his provocation, Qin Can glared at him angrily, puffed out his unashamed chest, "Of course! Autopsy is only possible with the presence of the officer!" He said so while cursing in his heart, your ancestors ten years ago For the eighth generation, it's best that Yunniang's corpse turns into a coffin and drags you into the coffin!

But the scolding was scolding, seeing Yan San throwing the walnuts in his hand and walking away, Qin Can's hands and feet were already cold, and his heart began to feel hairy.

"vomit-"

On the grave slope in the back mountain of Heiyun Jiulongzhai, Yan San led people to lift Yunniang's coffin out again.

Glancing at the person who was throwing up, Yan San turned his head and asked Cen Xi, "How long is he going to throw up? Didn't he just take a look, and only half of his face was shown."

Cen Xi shook his head, "About another hour."

Yan San raised his eyebrows, because he was shocked by about an hour.

The two over there were talking sarcasticly, while Qin Can vomited so coldly that his feet felt cold. Even though he had been mentally prepared all night, when he saw Yunniang's rotten face exposed in the gap between the coffin boards, Qin Can was shocked. I felt a heavy blow to my chest, and then my stomach was overwhelmed, and I ran to the side and hugged the tree to spit it out.

As for whether he will be laughed at by Yan San, Qin Can has no time to think at this moment.

Here in Jizhou there is little rain and dryness, so Yunniang's body is not very damaged.Cen Xi ordered Yunniang's body to be removed from the coffin and placed on a relatively flat ground.

Qin Can felt that there was nothing left to vomit after all the contents in his belly had been vomited, so he turned his head, and unexpectedly met Yunniang's body... The rotten flesh and flesh had rotted to the point where the bones were exposed. There was an indescribable stench.

"Ouch!" He turned around and began to vomit acid water.

Cen Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over to pat him on the back.

"She has been well preserved like this. In the case my father handled before, the person was tied to four bent bamboos, and then the murderer let go of the bamboo...

"You also know the tenacity of bamboo. The man probably didn't even have time to scream, and was torn apart by the restored bamboo. At that time, the intestines, internal organs, and blood flowed all over the ground. When they were brought back, they were piles It's like a pile of pork on a cutting board."

Qin Can hates it, how are you comforting others?Thinking of that scene... Qin Can felt that he would not have to eat pork for half a year.

"and also……"

"do not!"

Seeing that Cen Xi wanted to say more, Qin Can quickly raised his hand to signal him not to continue, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then forced himself to turn around and face Yunniang's body.

Cen Xi didn't care about him any more, rolled up his sleeves and began to examine the body, then uncovered the clothes on Yunniang's body, and when he saw those wounds, he made a suspicious voice, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Qin Can covered his face with his hands, looking over there through his fingers.

Cen Xi was just puzzled for a moment, but didn't say why, and checked Yunniang's whole body with a serious expression.

"How about it?"

Cen Xi still didn't answer, but turned around and said to Yan San, "There is something suspicious about Yunniang's body, please move her back to the cottage first, I will check it carefully again."

Yan San nodded and made a gesture, and the people he brought moved Yunniang's body to the coffin board, covered it with a white cloth and carried it away.

Qin Can and Cen Xi returned to the cottage, fumigated their bodies with vinegar to get rid of the body odor, and when there was no one around, Cen Xi closed the door and said to Qin Can, "There is something wrong with Yunniang's death..."

"What's the problem?" Qin Can has been lowering his head to smell himself, probably still feeling the smell, so he didn't notice Cen Xi's expression, "It can't be that Yunniang died unwillingly, so she walked to Wuxi Mountain and forced Ah Liang to take her with her. Go, become a ghost couple after death?"

"The wounds on Yunniang's body were caused during her lifetime, not after she died after being humiliated by others."

Qin Can heard the movement on his body stop, and raised his head, "Are you sure?"

Cen Xi nodded seriously, "The knife wounds left in life are uneven and the skin is curly, with blood all over the place, while those left after death have the same skin and flesh, the skin of the incision will not shrink, and the blood will not flow ...I think Yunniang's death was caused by excessive bleeding from knife wounds all over her body..."

Qin Can narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "According to what you said, the people in Heiyun Jiulongzhai are lying? They said that Yunniang was buried in a good manner, and that the knife wound was brought back from Wuxi Mountain, but in fact Yunniang He was hacked to death."

"That's why I didn't say this in front of Yan San just now..."

After Cen Xi said this, he didn't make any further noises. Qin Can also silently pondered the truth that Cen Xi had discovered in his heart, and the room became quiet. jumped.

"Cai Cai, Xi Xi, play with us!"

A sweet and soft voice sounded outside, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, letting go of their tense hearts.

Qin Can opened the door, and saw Xiao Jiu Niang holding a big rattan ball, looking up at himself, his big eyes were watery, full of anticipation.

No matter how impatient Qin Can was with the children, he couldn't help his cuteness. He bent down to take the takraw ball from his arms, and threw it into the air, and the children ran to catch it.

"Yun Niang is just in love with Ah Liang, no matter how much she opposes it, she won't be able to kill her, and use such a cruel method..."

Cen Xi also came out of the room, and the two leaned against the door to talk softly. When the takraw ball flew over, Qin Can kicked it back for them.

"You mean, in fact, Yunniang didn't die, and everything about the burial was fake, mainly to deceive Ah Liang and make him give up?"

"I think it's possible, but..."

"Cai Cai, the ball has passed!"

"But what?" Qin Can raised his hand without turning his head, and hit the takraw ball back.

"If our conjecture is true, Yunniang is not dead, it was Heiyun Jiulongzhai who released false news to deceive people, and now Yan San wants you to come forward to resolve the conflict between the two cottages, has he never thought about the news of Yunniang's death? This lie will be exposed by us because of this? It will do them no good..."

"Cai Cai, the ball has passed again!"

Qin Can hit the ball back again, "That will kill us, if we don't want to die, we can only obey them obediently..."

"Sure enough, Yu Wan and Yu Wan are rough men with brute force, but Yan San is..."

"Cai Cai!"

Qin Can raised his hand to block it, but this time the ball flew very fast and hit him directly on the head, with a "bang" sound, it rolled for a long distance after landing on the ground.

When the Venus in front of him was astigmatized, Qin Can still felt a buzzing in his head, and the place where he was hit by the takraw ball was even more painful.

He looked back, and saw that the person who made him angry all the time came to the backyard to play ball with the children at some point, and he and Cen Xi were too involved in discussing things, so that they didn't notice it.

"Eighteen generations of his ancestors..."

Qin Can ran to pick up the sepak takraw ball, but Cen Xi grabbed his arm when he came back.

"Hold on, don't tear yourself apart until you find out the truth. You are an official and they are bandits. If he hadn't been afraid of you, he wouldn't have done these things."

Qin Can nodded and signaled Cen Xi to rest assured, "I know, my little prince is still planning to go back to the capital to continue having fun, so I don't want to lose my life in this kind of place." After saying that, he threw up the sepak takraw ball and kicked it with all his strength.

The takraw ball flew straight towards Yan San, Yan San took a step back and hit him hard with his chest, the takraw ball hit him in the chest, and then bounced towards the backyard.

The children screamed when they saw the ball was about to fly away.

Yan San said lightly, "It's all right", then he jumped up on tiptoe, came to fish for the moon in the water, stretched out his long arm and hooked the takraw ball back, holding the takraw ball and landed firmly.

Xiao Jiuniang and the others cheered and jumped up to grab the ball.

Seeing Yan San looking towards him, Qin Can let out a "hum", and pulled Cen Xi back into the room.

In the next few days, Cen Xi re-examined Yunniang's body to see if he could find any more useful clues. Qin Can was afraid that he would vomit again after seeing it, so he refused to go.

"Cai Cai, why is there day and night?"

"Because the sun is actually a three-legged golden crow raised by the queen mother. When the queen mother releases it, it will be daytime. After a while, it will be returned to the cage to rest, and it will be night."

"Can this three-legged golden crow eat it?"

"Okay, as long as you can catch it."

"Help us catch that dish!"

"I can't fly."

"Cut! The third master is good at martial arts, maybe he can fly."

Qin Can was sitting on the steps in front of the house, watching the little ghosts squatting on the ground with their buttocks up and playing with beads.

The little devils were surprisingly curious, and Qin Can answered one question after another, making up the ones he didn't know.

Hearing that they mentioned Yan San, Qin Can asked them, "Do you think San Dangjia is a good person?"

Xiao Jiuniang was the first to raise his head and yell, "Of course he is a good person, everyone in our cottage is a good person!"

Qin Can clicked his tongue and asked again, "Do you know that your food, supplies, and clothing are all snatched from others. If I snatch your food, clothing, and clothing from you, Do you think I'm a good person?"

Xiao Jiuniang looked at Qin Can, blinking his eyes flickeringly.

For such a young child, perhaps this question is too complicated. How do they know what it means to "do evil" when they are at an age where they can't even tell right from wrong?

Xiao Jiu Niang blinked his eyes for a while, then pouted his lips and lowered his head, muttering in a low voice, "If they don't snatch it, then we will have nothing to eat... and no clothes to wear..."

Qin Can asked him again, "Then what other people don't have to eat and wear is enough?"

"Stupid monkey, what are you talking to them about?"

Yan San's voice fell to his ears, Qin Can turned around and saw a figure standing against the light, the next moment he was kicked on the back, and the whole person flew down from the steps and fell to the ground.

"Third master, third master, Cai Cai said that we are bad people who steal other people's things..."

Yan San was still very gentle towards the children, like a big brother who loves them everywhere, he knelt down and touched Xiao Jiuniang's head with his hand.

"In this world, some people are even worse. They have a lot of silver, they have endless delicacies and seafood, and they throw away their clothes when they wear out. They never need to mend them. They also rob them from others. But they never cared about the life and death of the people around them...

"We just take a little from them and send it to those who need it more, so that many people will have food and clothes to wear. Compared with those people, we have done a lot of good things."

After hearing this, the children's eyes sparkled, and they exclaimed "Wow!" and "Oh!" one after another.

"So don't listen to that stupid monkey talking nonsense, he is the kind of worse and worse person I said."

The little ghost heads hid behind Yan San as soon as they heard it.

Yan San stood up and put on a fierce face, "Have you all practiced calligraphy today? I will come to check later, and those who don't practice will be punished!"

As soon as the children heard what he said, they ran into the room like chickens being driven back to their nests.

Qin Can got up from the ground and patted the ashes off his body, "How can you say that to a child?"

Yan San's face changed as if the sky had changed, as soon as the figures of those little ghosts disappeared, he swept away the expression of the gentle big brother just now, and changed into a fierce look in a blink of an eye, looking at people like a Shura who can drink human blood and chew human bones .

Qin Can trembled in his heart, but he still refused to admit defeat, "Even if you are a grand robber who robs the rich and helps the poor, you have violated the laws of the court and will be wanted by the court! You say such things to such a young child, Let them form the idea of ​​​​robbing early, you are doing them harm!"

Yan San's face was ugly, it was hard to see that Qin Can had the illusion that he would split his head in the next moment.

But fortunately, Yan San didn't do anything, just looked at him, and said, "Then what are you going to tell them? Tell them that their parents were washed away by the flood because the officials withheld money to repair the dam. Disrepair, will burst after the flood?

"I still have to tell them that their playmates died in the famine one after another because the officials along the road withheld the life-saving food? Or, you should tell them, why are you the new county magistrate in Qinghua Town? Because The previous ones were either corrupted by corruption and I killed them, or they fled because of their guilty conscience... Do you want them to know this?"

Qin Can was blocked by these words for a while and didn't know how to refute him. When he was bored, he refuted him, "Of course there are corrupt officials, but don't forget that there are still many good officials like Song Yao in the court. !"

The corners of Yan San's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile he evoked was icy cold, "But it's a pity that you are not Song Yao, besides, Song Yao's life debt is no less than that of those corrupt officials..."

The Song Yao in Yan San's mouth was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry when the current emperor's grandfather Shaowen Emperor.

Song Yao was honest and upright throughout his life. During his tenure as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, with his experience in flood control and waterlogging, he managed many floods and was widely praised by the people.

But when Song Yao was young, he worked for a rebel king. When he was the magistrate of Jiangzhou, he embezzled the funds for repairing the embankment, causing the embankment to burst, flooding Jiangzhou, and tens of thousands of deaths and injuries in Jiangzhou city. The only blemish in .

After being assassinated and assigned to Yunzhou, Song Yao was called back to the court because he spared his life to plead for the people of Yunzhou. He is a somewhat legendary person.

Song Yao's life was full of praise and praise, but he devoted the rest of his life to benefiting the court and the people, so the people still praised him more, but he didn't expect that in Yan San's eyes, he only saw Song Yao's negligent side.

"You are simply..."

Seeing Yan San turned around to leave, Qin Can chased after him and wanted to continue arguing with him, but Yan San obviously didn't want to talk too much with him, so he turned his wrist, and moved the green calf knife with a silver blade and a cold glow towards it. There was a cross between the two, the blade pointed at Qin Can's neck, he didn't speak, but his expression clearly said: If you take another step up, I will let you eat the knife!

Qin Can stood still at the same spot, watched Yan San walk away, and then let out a "hum" in displeasure.Just as he was about to go back to his room, he stepped on something round and round. His foot slipped and he fell on his back.

This fall was not easy, Qin Can lay there moaning for a long time before recovering, turned his head, and saw the culprits who caused him to fall scattered around, they were the beads that the little devils were playing with just now.

The afternoon sun fell on the emerald green beads, making them look crystal clear and green, as if water was flowing in them.

Qin Can stared at it in a daze, thinking that these beads are so beautiful, bright in color, tender and full of green...

He was stunned, and regardless of the pain in his joints, he got up from the ground, grabbed a green bead and took a closer look, then gathered all the beads scattered on the ground, with a look of surprise on his face.
