The Record of Righteousness

The massacre at Zui Chun Tower spread throughout the capital in just two days.

For a time, people in many brothels in the capital were panicked.

He was afraid that he would be the next person to be killed, but at the same time he was also curious about who those twenty-three people had provoked and were brutally silenced.

People who didn't know the inside story had different opinions, but some people clapped their hands and applauded.

In their opinion, if someone from the imperial court died, it must be a chivalrous and righteous warrior who killed those corrupt officials to eliminate harm for the people.

The night is getting darker, Wu Tianyi's mansion.

Two servants holding lamps each carried a lantern with flickering candlelight to light the deep courtyard of Nuo Da, like a ghost fire floating in the dark night.

A gust of wind blew by, which reminded Liu Si subconsciously of the tragedy at Zui Chun Tower that he had heard about during the day.

It actually caused goose bumps all over his body, and he unconsciously leaned closer to his companion.

Wang Ergou felt that Liu Si was running towards his arms, and he couldn't help but move away, frowning:

"Why do you kid keep leaning towards me? You don't mind the heat, go and go aside."

Then he went to take down a lampshade in the courtyard and lit it with the wick in his own lantern.

The flickering flames reflected on Wang Ergou's face made Liu Si feel at ease.

Liu Si, however, approached with a mysterious look on his face, followed Wang Ergou down quickly, and nervously said to Wang Ergou:

"Er Gouzi, have you heard in the past few days that more than 20 people died in Zui Chun Tower not far from us the day before yesterday! The death situation was terrible."

Wang Ergou glanced at him:

"I know, it's been rumored a lot these days, who doesn't know about it."

Having said this, Wang Ergou suddenly realized something. He looked Liu Si up and down and said mockingly:

"What? Are you scared?"

Liu Si pretended to be calm:

"You're nothing to be afraid of. I didn't kill the person, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

But his previous behavior of leaning on Wang Ergou already showed that he was afraid.

Wang Ergou had already figured out Liu Si's temperament and laughed at him twice before saying anything.

Continue to light the wick elsewhere, and it seems that he does not intend to continue the topic just now.

There was silence around the two of them. The other servants doing hard work had gone to bed early, and there were only a few sporadic lights in the courtyard that had just been lit.

Seeing that Wang Ergou was silent, Liu Si took the initiative to start chatting again and said mysteriously:

"Er Gouzi, do you know who the person who was killed in Zuichunlou was?"

"Who is it? Isn't it those twenty or so people?"

"Zhou Cuntian, Mr. Zhou from the Royal Horse Supervisor!"

Liu Si lowered his voice as much as possible, for fear that what he said would be heard by a third party.

"Huh? It's actually him."

Wang Ergou looked startled and was quite surprised after hearing this. He scratched his head and recalled:

"When I was working as a concierge, this gentleman always asked me to report to my father-in-law. He gave me a lot of money. How can I just say it's gone?"

"Master Zhou is so nice. If I had known, I would have been a concierge." Liu Si said regretfully.

Wang Ergou turned around and said doubtfully:

"By the way, how do you know?"

Liu Si was waiting for this question, and immediately raised his eyebrows with a proud look:

"Hey, my fourth aunt's biological brother's cousin's son is working as an errand in the government office. I heard what he said. Why can't he ask about it?"

"He said that he followed the police to the scene of the murder. As soon as he entered the door, the smell of blood almost choked him to death. There were more than 20 people lying on the ground bleeding, how miserable it was."

Liu Si began to speak vividly, and even Wang Ergou, who was not interested in it, turned pale and pale.

"Hey, stop talking. Mr. Zhou has a good relationship with our Eunuch Wu. Don't let Eunuch Wu listen to your words, otherwise you will lose your skin." Wang Ergou warned.

Liu Si curled his lips and said:

"What are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the houses in the distance with wandering eyes.

Under the moonlight, I saw a dark shadow crouching on the tiles of the eaves!

Perhaps sensing that the people below had noticed him, the black shadow jumped off the roof with a "swish" sound and went nowhere.

"ah!"

Liu Si screamed with fear on his face, rubbed his eyes and suspected that he was deceived.

Wang Ergou, who had been on his way, was frightened by this sound. He turned around, stared at Liu Si and cursed:

"What's your ghost name?! Are you crazy and don't want your life? You've disturbed my father-in-law, and even ten of your lives are not enough to kill him."

"There was someone on the roof just now!"

Liu Si pointed to a roof in the east courtyard, his face was pale and he stuttered in explanation, obviously frightened.

Looking down where Liu Si pointed, it was pitch black.

But with the faint light of the moon, Wang Ergou was sure that there was no fart there.

"Damn it, look again. Is there a fart on it? Are you frightened?"

"But I did see a person flash past on the roof just now."

Looking at Liu Si, I don't know why he is crazy. Could it be that he opened his Yin and Yang eyes and saw ghosts?

Even the brave Wang Ergou couldn't help but feel a little frightened when Liu Si talked about it like this. He just wanted to leave the west courtyard as soon as possible.

He urged Liu Si, who was still stunned beside him:

"Damn it, stop thinking nonsense, finish lighting the lanterns and go to the east courtyard quickly, I'm so busy talking all day long."

Liu Sibai couldn't argue, he just said that a figure just flashed past.

He was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost, and he got goosebumps all over his body. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
