Chapter 30 The Water Is Deep!
The candlelight inside the lantern illuminated the word 'Night Watch' on the lantern skin.

Zhang San, who just got this errand, inspected seriously. According to the old watchman's instruction, every time he passed a square entrance, he would knock on the clapper in his hand to remind the residents in the square.

Bang, bang, bang!
"It's dry, be careful with candles!"

Three taps, one whistling.

Came far and wide in the night.

When Zhang San, carrying a lantern, walked through the 'Ping'an Square', he looked at the familiar entrance of the square, and couldn't help being in a daze for a while.

He was still living here a year ago.

Not only has a big house, but also old servants and maidservants, there are carriages when traveling, and food is served when eating.

But that was a year ago.

A year ago, a good friend "unintentionally" formed a game. He met a Mr. Zhao in the old city of Chang'an.

Then, when the other party proposed to play two hands, he couldn't help the other party's persuasion, so he really played two hands.

All won.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he won the usual monthly expenses.

From that moment on, he was obsessed with it.

Then...

lose!
Lose lose lose!
I lost all my family property, and my parents were mad at me!
In less than a month, he lost everything!
When he came back to his senses, he realized that the people who gathered around him in the past regarded him as a scourge and feared him like snakes and scorpions.

As soon as Da Yaner saw him, he pretended not to know him, turned his head and left.

After a year of ignorance, until a few days ago, he received a sum of money.

Even if this amount of money is only a drop in the bucket compared to what he exported.

But after a year of blind eyes, Zhang San has already learned the ways of the world, and he knows how to be grateful.

He was very grateful to that 'Grand Thief' Ye Liuxiang.

Give him the possibility to start over.

He didn't use this money to improve his life.

Instead, he used the money to buy a job.

Although it is just an errand like a watchman, it is an errand after all.

It's better than holding that share of money and sitting on the mountain!
Moreover, there may not be no possibility of a comeback.

No matter how small a policeman is, he is still a policeman!

"I can do it!"

Zhang San was full of ambition and strode forward.

Suddenly, my feet hurt.

"Ok?"

Zhang San was taken aback, moved his foot away, and when the lantern shone, he found a red paper wrapped on the ground.

Because of the stampede just now, the folded red paper bag was rubbed open, revealing the...

silver!

Under the candlelight, the silver light is shining.

Not silver ingots.

Just scattered silver.

To be precise, it was a silver bean.

Subconsciously, Zhang San bent over to pick it up.

And he didn't realize it at all, just when he bent down, a black shadow quietly appeared behind him, and when Zhang San straightened up, the black shadow was blocked by Zhang San's figure again, and the two seemed to overlap , combined into one.

"Who lost the money?"

"Or, I..."

Zhang San hesitated.

This year's life has made him too aware of the importance of money.

important to him.

It is also important for those who lose money.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang San, whose conscience still persists, plans to inform the government office tomorrow morning and post a notice to find the owner.

Having made up his mind, Zhang San didn't think too much about it.

Putting the silver into his arms, he will continue to inspect.

But at this moment, Zhang San suddenly felt his neck tighten.

Then, a huge force that he couldn't resist came from behind, and immediately after, his whole body rose into the air and was hung under the archway of 'Ping An Fang'.

Zhang San struggled violently, trying to break free from the rope.

But these are all in vain.

After a while, Zhang San stopped moving.

He stared at the inside of Ping'an Square with his bloodshot eyes.

That was his former home.

At this moment, the lights are still brightly lit.

He just watched from afar.

call!
The night wind blew, and his body swayed with the wind.

There is a corner of the red paper in his arms.

A lock of long hair caught in the red paper floated out.

Under the moonlight, a line of tiny characters slowly emerged from the red paper——

Let me borrow my life!
Ye Liuxiang!
……

"This morning?"

"The early riser found Zhang San's body?"

Standing outside Daxing City, the new capital, Mo Shili asked Yang Yu, who was perusing information on the military pawns.

Mo Shili and Yang Yu returned directly to Daxing City after dealing with the follow-up of 'Living Sons and Sunshou'.

Moreover, because Mo Shili had already been attacked, and the attacker was killed by Chen Jiang and took away the body, Yang Yu no longer separated from Mo Shili.

Relying on Yang Yu's military pawn badge, the two arrived at the gate of Daxing City before dark in a carriage rented from the post station.

When returning the carriage, he got the news that 'Ye Liuxiang killed someone with borrowed money'.

At that time, Mo Shili was shocked.

Ye Liuxiang, he is familiar with it.

That's his vest.

How could someone kill someone in Daxing City when he was in Chang'an County?
"Who is impersonating me?"

Mo Shili frowned secretly.

But Yang Yu didn't hide anything, and directly passed the information to Mo Shili.

It clearly records Zhang San's life.

Including losing all the family wealth in Zhao's gambling house, angering parents to death, getting Ye Liuxiang's money, and buying a watchman's errand, all are recorded in detail.

More detailed introduction is the red paper.

Except for a line of teeny lowercase letters, there is also a strand of long hair clipped inside the red paper.

There are rumors that when you encounter bad luck or illness, you can cut a strand of long hair and clip it in red paper, then wrap the money in red paper and throw it on the road. Heal without medicine.

Of course, some are more direct.

Will write on the red paper, "Borrow life for seven days" and the like.

And this is 'life money'.

It is also called 'death money'.

It seems to be Zhang San this time.

It's just that it's not a seven-day loan.

But to borrow the whole life.

"Father and son of the Zhao family?"

"wrong!"

"It's the person behind the other party who wants to lure me out!"

After confirming the signature of 'Ye Liuxiang', Mo Shili wanted to understand what was going on.

As for the murderer using the name of 'Ye Liuxiang', the real purpose was to kill Zhang San?

impossible!

Zhang San was a widow and lived like a dog for the previous year. If he wanted to make a move, he would have done it long ago, and there was no need to delay it for so long.

Therefore, killing Zhang San is just a means!

A means to force 'Ye Liuxiang' to show up!

And there are so many people who have accepted the money of 'Ye Liuxiang', why choose Zhang San?

identity!

Zhang San is the watchman and belongs to the Yamen.

As long as he dies, it will inevitably cause a sensation, and in order to make the sensation more thorough, Zhang San was even hung under the archway.

Only such a sensation can ensure that 'Ye Liuxiang' knows the news!

It can also force 'Ye Liuxiang' out better!
"Hmph, would I step on such an obvious trap?"

"Ye Liuxiang, it's just a vest!"

"Leave it alone!"

Mo Shili told himself this in his heart.

The note in his hand was handed back to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu took the note, turned around and left without saying a word.

The steps are urgent and fast.

Apparently, he was afraid that Mo Shili would get curious, pester him, and take him to the scene to investigate the case.

"Could I be the type to pester you?"

Pouted at Yang Yu's back, Mo Shili walked towards Mao'er Lane with his hands behind his back.

He must hold on to it!

He told himself so!

But for some reason, the footsteps were clearly walking towards Maoer Lane, but turned to Ping'an Square.

Far away, Mo Shili narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the archway.

What was he thinking at the last moment when he was thinking about Zhang San's death?
Do you regret what you did?

still is……

I didn't understand until I died, my own death became bait!
"Poor guy, he became bait, hey, he really died for no reason!"

"bait!"

"Who is not the bait!"

Mo Shili sneered several times in his heart.

He suddenly changed his mind.

He wants to try.

Immediately, he walked to Mo Shili under Ping'an Square and stopped.

Zhang San's body had already been removed and carried away.

The crowd watching the excitement has long since dispersed.

Most people have heard about what happened this morning, but they were just astonished at the moment.

Perhaps this matter will become a topic of conversation after dinner for a long time to come.

But that was also after dinner.

Now?

People who are busy with their lives can't stop at all.

Therefore, Mo Shili standing under the archway is particularly conspicuous.

The line of sight that was observing secretly swept over immediately.
