I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 150 Opening the Breach

Chang Yao asked Wei Qianzhou to stay here for the time being. He had already made arrangements so that no one would approach him. As long as he didn't step out of this courtyard, there would naturally be a way for him to return to the 'human world'.

After Chang Yao left, Wei Qianzhou squatted on the ground in shock, the dry pancake in his hand was no longer fragrant, and he even spat out a few mouthfuls out of disgust.

cough cough...

Wei Qianzhou was frightened to death, he didn't dare to look at that room, he had been terrified by the fear for the past few days, and now he had to share the same room with that head, he didn't dare to think about it.

Looking around, the yard was dilapidated and full of rubbish. He tried to find a dry place to sleep but couldn't find it, and mud was everywhere on his trouser legs and shoes.

It seemed that only the dimly lit room could accommodate him. He hesitated, but despite his resistance, a faint smell of blood still poured into his nose. He seemed to see the person who died under his knife. Man, he quickly pinched his nose and held his breath, and it took him a while to hold back the rolling vomiting in his stomach.

There was a light rain in the sky, and it became denser and denser after a while, and soon became denser. A layer of white rain and mist splashed on the roof and the ground. In the mud, stir up more dirty mud spots.

Wei Qianzhou felt that he was like a maggot right now, hunched over and afraid to straighten up, dare not stand in the sun, and could only keep company with the damp and cold night.

That bastard Chang Yao must have found such a place on purpose. The coldness of the early winter was so overwhelming that he could only stay with the head if he couldn't avoid it. house.He trembled and walked outside the house, planning to just keep his eyes closed all night, make do with it all night, and leave here early tomorrow morning.

But as soon as he opened the door, he was tripped by the high threshold under his feet, and the whole person fell forward. The violent trip made him open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was about to be out of his wits.

His face was extremely ugly. The bloody human head was quietly resting on a precarious table. The flesh on his neck was about to fall off, and the ends of the bones were exposed. The whole face was drooping due to the weather. His fascia protruded, and a yellow-brown liquid was seeping out, and the eyeballs seemed to burst and fall off.

His stomach started to feel nauseous again, he quickly turned around and pinched his thigh vigorously a few times, the pain calmed him down, only then did he realize that even the base of his thigh was sweating coldly.

Picking up the rags from the ground, closing the eyes and covering the head with the cloth, chanting Amitabha, and opening the eyes again, it felt better.

Wei Qianzhou used to be a very popular young scholar in Hong County. With the arrival of a strange man, he gradually lost his weight and status in the hearts of his parents, and gradually got lost in the vortex of jealousy and resentment.

Glancing at his head out of the corner of his eye, he still can't forget that hot afternoon, the man came to the house and claimed to be Wei Qianfan, the eldest son of the Wei family who had been separated for many years. identified him as his son.The parents were so happy that they hosted banquets for three days and gave gifts everywhere.

Looking back and thinking about it, I must have changed in my heart since then.

The family invited Wei Qianfan to have a husband alone. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be extremely smart and made rapid academic progress. It took Wei Qianfan only a short year to impress his husband with the lessons that he took several years to learn.He saw it and was anxious, so he had to study harder and try to surpass that big brother.

However, the big brother who suddenly appeared seemed to be destined to overcome him. Even though he worked harder than before, he still watched Wei Qianfan surpass himself. When he became a Jinshi, but himself, after he entered the house, not only did his studies plummet, but he even snatched the love from his parents at home.

Fortunately, Wei Qianfan suffered a serious illness that year when he was about to take the last step to success. Not only did he miss the exam, but his health also plummeted, and he suffered from heart deficiency. Since then, his perfect official resume has finally stopped. down.

It has to be said that when he learned of his brother's condition, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He thought that in the future, everyone's eyes and attention could return to him.Unexpectedly, his parents felt sorry for his eldest brother and worried that he would not recover, so they began to let him get in touch with the family's porcelain industry. .

Wei Qianzhou laughed at himself, no matter what Wei Qianfan did, it was just like his name, smooth sailing, shining like stars, but what about himself?They obviously gave birth to a face that was exactly the same as their own, so why are their circumstances so different.

Seeing that he made the Wei family's brick kiln bigger, his parents were completely relieved, so they proposed to let his younger brother join in, and the two brothers would carry forward the family's Wei kiln together.

But Wei Qianfan believes that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have the most status. They seem to be beautiful, but they are actually low. They are restricted in doing many things, and they will be suppressed at will. The Wei family still needs someone to be an official. Not bad, you should continue to take the exam for fame.

In this way, Wei Qianzhou was like a puppet, without any room for speech. This made him, who was full of enthusiasm for study, inexplicably start to repel him. In the end, he only passed the exam, and he didn't want to take the exam again.

Wei Qianfan may have noticed the change in his younger brother, so he didn't say anything. He spent a lot of money on a lot of connections, and let him be a boss. He has a small official position, but he can still know about the changes in the imperial court's policies, as well as all the big and small things in Hong County. s arrangement.

Since then, the family has been performing their own duties, and on the surface they seem to be in harmony.

However, the calm was broken three months ago.

That was Chang Yao, the county lieutenant who never violated the river water, suddenly became close to him, not only often came to the house, but also invited him to drink tea, drink and eat at the county lieutenant's mansion.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, he just regarded it as an ordinary walk among his colleagues, but after a long time, other people stopped participating, and gradually became only inviting himself alone, and he realized that things would not be so simple.

really…

Stop remembering, Wei Qianzhou stared at that head sternly, the grievances and unwillingness in the past, as well as the dissatisfaction with his parents' preference, had been vented and released the moment he swung his knife to chop it off.

He didn't regret it, if it wasn't for him, he should have been a high-ranking official in the capital at this moment, not a boss in Hong County who didn't even have an official position.

When he obeys the arrangement and replaces Wei Qianfan, he will definitely be able to make Wei Kiln better and stronger.

It was already late at night, the rain was light, and the surroundings were extraordinarily quiet. After the quiet, the dilapidated courtyard had a special eerie and strange color.

This ordinary two-story building has been around for some years, and most of it has been destroyed in disrepair. The moonlight shines in, like a lair of evil spirits.

Wei Qianzhou rubbed his paralyzed legs, and found that the stairs were on the right. Rather than staying with this unlucky thing, he might as well go upstairs to sleep while out of sight.

But as soon as he stepped on the steps on the second floor, he was shocked. It turned out that there was a crooked statue directly opposite the upstairs. Suddenly there was incense burning. This was not a simple statue, but a statue of some kind of god. Seeing the burning incense, Wei Qianzhou's feet seemed to be nailed in place. He could be sure that there were other people in the room.

Immediately, he felt a pair of invisible hands strangling his throat, as if he heard the voice of complaint: Give me back my life... Give me back my life...

At this moment, there was a loud noise downstairs, the sound of wood breaking.

Wei Qianzhou ran downstairs in a frenzy, but when he got to the yard, he didn't even see a ghost.

At this moment, he looked at the outer wall of the house with the corner of his eyes in the dim moonlight, and there was a bag in the shadow.

An inexplicable feeling drove him to walk over, trembling hands, opened the bag, only to find a piece of pinkish-white stuff inside, with tendons and flesh, and a little bit of blood.

Wei Qianzhou was stunned, and when he saw one of the bones clearly, he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Ah!!!"

This is clearly human flesh! ! !
Where did it come from, whose meat is it! ?
"Who?! Who?! You come out!"

Wei Qianzhou yelled in the courtyard like crazy. He waved his fists, spun around, and looked around nervously.

Ghost, ghost...

One of the men in black on the roof covered his mouth and suppressed a smile, while the other shook his head helplessly, hugged her waist, and asked her if she was ready with his eyes.

The man who tried his best to hold back his smile nodded, and wrapped his arms around his waist, and because he was in a good mood, he gently pinched his waist mischievously.

"Xixi, don't mess with me." The man's voice was hoarse, trying to hold back his emotions.

"Ghost... ghost..."

The two lightly landed in the middle of the yard, condescendingly, looking at the man lying on the ground like an animal with contempt.

Wei Qianzhou raised his head slowly, and saw two people who looked like gods descending from the sky.

They were wearing expensive black suits with prints all over their bodies, who was it?

There was a wave of panic in his frightened eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "You are not ghosts, who are you?"

Hearing his words, the short one stood in place, obviously taken aback for a moment, and then his bright eyes showed a wanton smile: "Hahahahaha..." The lively voice contained ridicule and contempt that could not be concealed .

"Wei Qianzhou, do you think that if you cooperate with Chang Yao to get rid of Wei Qianfan, you can replace him and start a new life without worrying that someone will hold you accountable for the murder? Do you know that Chang Yao is just using you?"

Wei Qianzhou's mind went blank.

who are they? ? ?How could they know such a secret thing? They also knew that it was the elder brother who died!

"You are now a dead person killed by a female ghost in name. If Chang Yao uses you up and kills you again, you will not be found guilty, and no one will know."

A dead person... Yes, I am already a dead person.

"Actually, Chang Yao doesn't need to work hard to do it himself. He just needs to leave you here. Without new food and water, within a few days, he will die of hunger and thirst just like those refugees."

"Who the hell are you? Why do you know this!!" Wei Qianzhou's spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"We just want to remind you out of good intentions, if you still have a little humanity, you'd better tell us what happened, so as not to become that stupid scapegoat after you die, what do you think?" The corners of Lu Xizhi's mouth rose slightly, looking It can be seen that she doesn't care much about the life and death of this person on the ground.

A villain like Wei Qianzhou deserves to die, but for the sake of the Lu family, Wei Qianzhou must not die now, he must explain clearly the conspiracy that killed Jia Dafu and framed Lu Zhonglian.

A drawer of fragrant steamed buns was suddenly handed over to Wei Qianzhou, his originally dull eyes were suddenly attracted by the oily paper bag exuding an endless fragrance alluring in front of him.

"This is..." He was still a little dazed, and just opened his lips as if he wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Lu Xizhi's words.

"Don't you want to eat? I just heard that your stomach seems to be ringing all the time. Maybe I heard it wrong?"

Wei Qianzhou's already thin and disfigured face suddenly turned a little red, and his eyes, which were as quiet as stagnant water, began to ripple and flicker, but suddenly remembered something, and suddenly withdrew his outstretched hand: "I'm not hungry. "

Lu Xizhi sneered coldly: "In that case, then I'll just take this fragrant steamed stuffed bun back and feed it to the house dog."

As he said that, he put the bun into his arms.

"What do you want to know?" Wei Qianzhou suddenly asked urgently.

Lu Xizhi looked at the awkward man, and felt that apart from being funny, it was deeply sad. What kind of mentality can turn a person into a devil, unite with outsiders, and kill his own brother, and Wei Qianfan treated Wei Qianzhou like a With the utmost benevolence, he not only considers the future for this brother, but also manages the family business in an orderly manner, and gives him enough bonuses every year. He is such a good businessman and big brother who is loved by people in the local area, but he is not familiar with his own relatives.

Yuan Yanxi gestured towards the dark place, and immediately two men in black jumped into the yard. They quickly lit the torches in their hands, dragged Wei Qianzhou from the ground into the only room politely, threw him on the ground, and two more The man in black came in with two chairs as if by magic.

The whole room was instantly lit up, and the firelight made the black cloth on the table even more dazzling.

Lu Xizhi threw the greased paper bag in his hand to him, and sat down leisurely.

Seeing Wei Qianzhou catching the steamed stuffed bun in a hurry, he tore open the package impatiently, and started to gobble it up.

"Do you regret it?" Lu Xizhi asked him unexpectedly.

Wei Qianzhou choked, cough cough cough...

Tears were coughed out, and the coughing became more and more severe, until the wailing continued, and the buns were swallowed with endless tears.

The smell of steamed stuffed buns and the sourness of tears, mixed with the smell of soil in his hands, he felt as if he was in a dream, as if when he woke up, none of this happened, and he was still the same person who was not successful, but plain and nourished Sitting on the seat of the master is Wei Qianzhou.

It's a pity... the dream has already woken up, and the bloody head reminds him all the time that he has committed a heinous crime, and his life will never go back.

"You are Master Yuan. Since you have already investigated the affairs of the Wei family, if you want to ask anything, feel free to ask."
