I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 37

The end of the new year is approaching, and there are a lot of things big and small in Weishui, but life has to be lived day by day.

Whether it is the death of the three brothers of the Ji family, or the dismissal of Weishui chief arrester Xiao Zihua, it is an excellent topic of conversation for many people, but it cannot replace tea, rice, oil and salt.

As for Lin Yi, three days have passed since the case where the three brothers of the Ji family were killed, but there is no news about the mysterious man called the "head-picking ghost".

There were even rumors among the people that it was not a human being at all, but a ghost walking in the darkness, specially punishing those vicious people who escaped the punishment of the law.

As for the rest, no one knows.

Today is another snowy day.

Humming an unknown tune, the corpse mover pulled the cart and went up to Qingfengling.

And the body on the cart was scorched black and curled into a ball, how could there be any human appearance?
After going up the mountain, the corpse mover greeted Yu Chen who was sweeping the snow, and began to dig a hole.

Yu Chen glanced at the corpse behind him, frowning slightly.

Although the body on the cart was burnt black and its appearance was already unrecognizable, but judging from the strong bones, it should be a man.

When the corpse mover saw this, he thought it was Yu Chen who was frightened by the tragedy, and said in a bad mood, "I can't stand it anymore, you look at the grave? It's a good thing you didn't see the corpses of the three brothers of the Ji family a few days ago. Otherwise, just spit out the overnight meal!

You don't know, the heads of those three corpses were taken off abruptly, held in their hands, kneeling in the wind and snow, their appearance... tsk tsk. "

As if remembering something beautiful, the corpse mover praised twice, only to realize that his reaction was not right, so he slapped haha ​​and perfunctorily passed it.

Although the three brothers of the Ji family live in Hanqiao, anyone who knows a little bit knows that one of their relatives is a big shot in the Black Water Gang in the south of the city, so even if they die, they can spend money to bury them in the Mingyue Mausoleum. Instead of being buried in Qingfeng Mausoleum like a mass grave.

After Yu Chen heard this, he looked rejoiced on the surface, but murmured in his heart.

You mean the bodies of the three brothers of the Ji family?

Then I'm too familiar?
I did it!

While chatting, the corpse mover complained while digging a hole: "This Weishui River is getting more and more chaotic. A mysterious head picker appeared only two days ago, and today such a tragic corpse was found in the south of the city. You see, it was so burned that even his own mother could not recognize it, most likely it was done by those gangsters again, it's a crime!"

The affairs in the south of the city are difficult for the Yamen to manage.

This is almost a recognized situation throughout the Weishui River.

Every year, [-]% of the homicide cases in Weishui occurred in the south of the city; and in this [-]% of the cases, there were also [-]% unsolved cases, and the murderer could not be found.

Right now, it looks like the same thing.

After all, there are many gangs in the south of the city, and bloody struggles happen almost every day, and it is not uncommon for people to die.

After burying the corpse, the mover waved his hand and dragged the cart down the mountain.

After Yu Chen waited for him to leave, he waved to the new grave, and a ghost came out from the snow and followed him into the house.

In the snowstorm, the young man sees the graveman in front, followed by the restless ghost. This scene is very similar to the legendary messenger from the underworld, leading the restless soul to the underworld.

Once inside the house, the doors and windows were still closed.

Yu Chen took out the scriptures for saving people, and captured the miserable ghost that was burnt black.

During the golden light, revolving lantern scenes flashed before Yu Chen's eyes.

The owner of this revolving lantern, that is, the charred corpse is named Wang Hai, a porter who relies on his strength for food, and relies on his own strength to help others carry it every day to support his family.

In his family, there is a wife who can't do heavy work because of illness, a little girl who is only three years old, and an eighty-year-old mother who can only lie on the kang all day.

A family of four, all pointing at him to eat alone.

Even so, he can basically live and support a large family, but Wang Hai is very anxious!

Everything in this whole family is on him, and the money he earns is only enough to support daily expenses.

I can't save a little money.

This also means that if any accident happened to him, even if he was exposed to the wind and cold for two days, his wife, children and mother would all be hungry.

Can he not worry?
But fortunately, God has eyes, things turned around about half a month ago.

At that time, two major events happened in Weishui——when the news that the old man of the Wang family offered a huge reward for a man-eating worm spread hotly, the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce in the state capital also passed through Weishui, and lost its manpower due to an avalanche on the way, so it had to recruit guards in Weishui and porter.

Both of these things are ways to make quick money.

The former belonged to those Lianjiazi who licked blood at the edge of their swords, while the latter belonged to ordinary people like Wang Hai who had nothing but strength.

So, when the Zhengqing Gang and Yu Chen were preparing to hunt the big bug, Wang Hai and a group of porters followed the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was an opportunity.

In short, on the way to escort the Chamber of Commerce, the Jinyang caravan encountered wolves and lost a lot of people.

In the chase and escape with the wolves, Wang Hai relied on his physical strength, quick wit and agility to save a deacon of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce.

And he himself was bitten on a calf.

In order to thank him for saving his life, the deacon of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce gave him two options, one is to follow the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce back to the state capital, and the other is to discount it and give him a sum of money.

Thinking of his wife, children and mother at home, Wang Hai reluctantly chose the latter.

So on the way back, the deacon of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce gave him a kit, which contained six gold bahts of excellent quality.

This is no small sum of money.

According to Daxia's exchange rate, one gold baht weighs three qian, and six pieces equals eighteen qian, which is nearly two taels of gold.

If it is converted into silver, it is equivalent to 20 taels of snowflake silver!
A total of 20 taels of silver!
For a wealthy Weishui businessman like Mr. Wang, this may be a drop in the bucket.

But for Wang Hai at the bottom, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money!
Immediately, Wang Hai returned home with the kit in his hands.

But what Wang Hai didn't expect was that money touches people's hearts, and these six gold bahts are not only wealth, but also disaster.

At that time, Mali, who escorted the Jinyang caravan, besides Wang Hai, more than 20 men from Weishui County also went with him.

There are three teachings and nine streams, good and evil are mixed, and there are everyone.

Somehow, the news that the deacon of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce gave Wang Hai Jinzhu spread among these guys.

After returning to Weishui, he naturally didn't hide it.

But although money is touching people's hearts, there are also laws like a hanging sword, so that some people with evil intentions dare not act rashly.

But there are always some guys who are not afraid of anything, licking blood with knife edge, desperadoes.

The big and small gangs in the old street in the south of the city are representatives of them, and among these ruthless people, the Blackwater Gang is the most vicious and vicious.

No, before Wang Hai went to the bank to turn the gold baht into silver and copper coins for daily use, the members of the Black Water Gang came to him.

Half-armed and half-turned, he took Wang Hai to the south of the city, saying that he admired Wang Hai for sacrificing himself to death, but the actual purpose was ulterior motives.

—The six gold bahts.

When they arrived in the south of the city, various big men surrounded Wang Hai there and forced him to hand over the six gold bahts.

But Wang Hai has the old and the young, and he still hopes that the six gold bahts will improve his life!

Who wants to be taken away for no reason?
Those guys didn't find the gold baht on Wang Hai and his house, so they guessed where Wang Hai hid the gold baht, so they forced him to tell.

Wang Hai was also stubborn, not saying anything about life and death.

Those members of the Black Water Gang were beaten with sticks and whipped.

Wang Hai still didn't say anything, and they continued to fight.

In the end, regardless of the severity, he beat the person to death abruptly.
