Chapter 103 Chapter 5 update 15

At dawn, the voices outside the house made Huo Weilou suddenly open his eyes. He listened attentively for a moment, then turned to look at the person lying on the couch. The sky was slightly bright, and the window lattice revealed a gray-blue light. Bo Ruoyou was reflected in a vague outline. She was a very regular sleeping person. She lay flat and didn't move much all night. At this moment, her breath was still lingering and she slept very deeply.

Huo Weilou leaned forward and pulled her robe over her body, stood up quietly and walked out of the door. The attendants outside the door rested on the spot in the side room. At this moment, he was talking to two government servants. When he saw Huo Weilou coming out, he almost People rushed forward to salute.

Huo Weilou walked out and stood under the eaves: "What happened?"

The Yamen said: "Master Hou, the captor asked the villain to come and say that Granny Zhang's son was hiding near Wu's house last night and was caught by the villain at dawn. The captor wanted to reassure Miss Bo."

Huo Weilou stared, "Is he hiding near the Wu family?"

The Yamen almost nodded, "Yes, he wanted to take the child away, but there were many of us around the yard, and he was found."

"How's the trial going with Sun Zhao?" Huo Weilou asked again.

"A few people are tough, especially the mother-in-law Zhang, who still wants to die, but the second brother of the Zhang family seems to be able to speak. Although the Wu family member confessed his crime neatly, he didn't want to go into detail. I also don’t want to testify about where other corpses are hidden, and there is also a one-armed old man. Because of his age, he fainted before he finished questioning the person."

The sky is indigo, with layers of clouds and bright light behind it. As morning approaches, Huo Weilou raises his eyes and takes a look, "I will go over and take a look later. Let's continue the investigation."

The official responded and turned around to report back.

The mountain breeze in the early morning was refreshing and refreshing. Huo Weilou was slightly tired and felt refreshed. He stood for a moment, then turned back and walked towards the main room. Before he could get closer, he Then I heard a rustling sound inside.

He pushed the door open and saw that Bao Ruoyou had sat up. She was holding his robe, sleepy-eyed, looking for something in the room at a loss. When he entered, her eyes lit up, "Come out." What happened?"

Huo Weilou curled his lips unconsciously, "The government officials came to report that Granny Zhang's son was wandering near Wu's house and wanted to take the child away. However, the government officials found the trace and took him. He also told a few people They are all hard-core, and only the second son of the Zhang family admits a little."

Bao Ruoyou rubbed her eyes and was pulling away from her sleep little by little. She rarely looked so confused. Huo Weilou saw it warmly and raised his hand to brush the loose hair on the side of her face, " There’s nothing else to do, you can sleep a little longer.”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, now completely awake, and looked at Huo Weilou again, "Did the Marquis not sleep last night?"

"I've always been here." Huo Weilou looked at her.

Bao Ruoyou felt his heart skip a beat again, looked at the robe covering him, and hurriedly wanted to get down, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. Mr. Marquis, please have a rest. I want to go over and have a look. If someone confesses, I'm afraid I'll have to go to bed." I'll do the autopsy."

She put on her shoes and handed the robe to Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou took it, as if he had expected that she would not rest when she woke up, "Then go over and take a look."

He put on his robe, Bo Ruoyou **** his hair again, and the two of them went to Wu's house.

As soon as I arrived at Wu's house, I saw a lot of government officials stationed outside the courtyard. They were originally searching for Shanna people, but Zhang Dalang actually threw himself into the trap, which saved them trouble. When they saw Huo Weilou arrived, All the officials stepped forward to salute.

Wu Xiang received the letter and was the first to greet him. It was already daylight. Wu Xiang, who had stayed up for several days, was obviously tired. He bowed and said, "The second son of the Zhang family is recruiting, and your Excellency is interrogating." , Lord Marquis, do you want to go and listen?"

Huo Weilou nodded, and several people walked into the main hall. Now the Wu family's house was being used. Granny Zhang and others were detained separately. Sun Zhao was interrogating people in the left room. The door was closed. Sun Zhao and the Zhang family My brother's voice came from inside.

Wu Xiang wanted to call Sun Zhao, but Huo Weilou raised his hand to stop him, and whispered: "Just listen here."

Across the door, Sun Zhao sneered, "If there was a cure back then, why would we have sealed off your village? You think it's unfair, but if you are asked to come out and infect more people, how will you explain it then?"

"That's your business! The government is incompetent, but it wants us to lose our lives in vain. Why? Our village doesn't have so many sick people, but the government actually sends all the sick people to our village. I was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, and my brother was not yet twenty years old. We were obviously not sick, so why were we locked up by you?"

Sun Zhao lowered his voice, "This is a natural disaster that cannot be corrected by manpower. I chose your village because of the concentration of patients in your village and because it is located on a closed mountain. It doesn't matter if you have resentment in your heart. You survived the next six months with your own abilities. It was a good thing that you saved your life, but since you survived, why didn't you live well and do evil things instead?"

Zhang Jiaerlang seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and said with a trembling voice: "You people, who have never experienced those purgatory times, how can you accuse us so brazenly? At the beginning, the village was full of patients, and those who were not sick later We were all infected, so we were afraid, so we ran to the mountains, kept running, and lived in caves for half a year. At first, many people went up the mountain, but then some got sick and some starved to death. In the end, There are no flying insects or animals on the mountain."

At this point, Zhang Jiaerlang also laughed conspiratorially, "You must not guess how we survived."

Outside the house, Bao Ruoyou looked confused. He turned to look at Huo Weilou and saw that he had a clear look on his face. He seemed to have guessed what Erlang Zhang was going to say.

"My brother and I survived by eating my cousin's human flesh." He laughed strangely again, "Because she didn't die from the plague. She was injured on the mountain and there was no way to stop the bleeding. Due to the medicine and her weak body, she died like that. She was originally destined to be my brother’s unmarried wife. Later, in order to survive, the two of us had to eat her flesh to survive.”

"Two months, our last two months, we relied on people who died one by one, eating their flesh and drinking their blood to survive. Most of them were relatives and friends of our same race. If it hadn't been for the plague, we would have either We will be brothers for life, or we will get married, but who would have thought that they would become the food for us to survive in the end."

He laughed numbly, "My lord, if you don't even care about your own relatives and friends, what do the lives of others matter? We survived with great difficulty, but do you know how difficult it is for us to live? Because at that time, if If people know that we escaped from Guzhang Village, they will report it to the official. If we report it to the official, they will **** us back. If we go back, we will die again!"

“We escaped from the village by relying on the path on the cliff, because we really couldn’t survive on the mountain. When walking from the cliff, some people were exhausted and fell to death. The hatred in our hearts was not easy to escape. The ones who survived, the Wu family... no, it was the Gu family's sister and the Gu family's aunt. They were both sick but not dead and became disabled. The Gu family's cousin cut off his own hand in order to survive. Each of us wants to Life, if we can survive well down the mountain, how could we do such a deadly thing?"

"We didn't dare to escape elsewhere. We climbed mountains and waded all the way. We just wanted to go to a remote place and hide and survive. At that time, we ran into this place by mistake. We could tell if they were sick. Dare to be exposed in front of others, just a few of us went into the village to look for food, but we never expected that we would be spotted by the villagers. They looked at us like we were monsters and said that we were going to report to the official. Oh, how could we possibly Let them report to the official——"

“This place is remote, and there are only ten households in the village. Seeing that their attitude was so clear-cut, we thought about it and felt that even if we escaped from here and went to the next place, it would still be the same. We were penniless, so we couldn’t We really live like savages in the woods. If that's the case, why don't we turn this village into our original home?"

"After all, our original home was destroyed by people like you!"

Zhang Jiaerlang spoke breathlessly, and his tone sounded sinister, as if recalling old events made him sad and angry, but he spoke confidently and without guilt, and revealed a shocking coldness and numbness.

Wu Xiang said outside: "The village is called Guzhang Village because there used to be families with the surname Gu and the family surnamed Zhang. Later, when they arrived here, they changed the surname to Zhang and Wu. They have been called Guzhang Village for so many years. They themselves are not used to their original surname."

Sun Zhao was probably shocked by what he said. He paused for a moment before continuing: "So, you killed the entire village and then used the people in the village to worship your water god?"

"Water God..." There was finally a trace of hesitation in Zhang Jiaerlang's tone, "That plague was the punishment given to us by the Water God. The old people in our village believed in this, but we juniors didn't care. Later, , Sure enough, the Water God is going to punish us with heavenly punishment. We climbed out from the pile of dead people. Even if we occupy this place, we don't dare to be careless. It just so happens that there are many people in this village, so we kill them all, so that the Water God Protect us."

At the end, his tone was chilling, and Sun Zhao asked again: "How many people in the village were killed by you back then? Except for the corpses in the Black Water Pond, where were the other corpses buried by you? Where?"

Zhang Erlang was very calm, "buried behind Aunt Zhang's house."

Wu Xiang frowned and heard Zhang Erlang continue: "There is a pine forest behind their house. The trees were planted after the bones were buried. Because the pool was too small to accommodate so many people, the trees were planted. Climbing a tree is the safest way."

Wu Xiang saw that pine forest when he helped Granny Zhang repair her house! Wu Xiang's eyes widened and he immediately went out to call Hou Yang, "Take the rest of the people to the pine forest behind Granny Zhang's house and start digging now, and buy a lot of corpses."

Hou Yang looked tense and hurriedly answered the call to summon people.

In the room, Sun Zhao asked again: "Zhang... Zhang Yu's father is called Zhang Heqing, right? Is the baby you sacrificed in Luohe this time his biological daughter?"

Zhang Erlang became even calmer after hearing this, "Yes, water is yin, so using a girl as a sacrifice is more useful."

Sun Zhao couldn't help but said coldly: "That's his biological daughter. Also, his daughter was muffled to death, what about his wife?"

"Dead, this matter has been decided by them a long time ago. If the baby is a boy, they will keep it. If it is a girl, they will go to worship the gods. His wife did not know that when she was about to take the baby girl away that day, her wife started I didn't want to do anything to her, but she died of hemorrhage without caring about herself after giving birth." Zhang Erlang's voice did not seem to be talking about the death of a mother and daughter, but it was as if he was saying that today was a good day. shock.

"After the baby died, who sent it to the Luo River? Where was her mother buried?"

"It's Qinghe. People here don't like to leave the village. He is the only one walking out. His wife is also a foreigner. She has been here for a long time and she is a stupid and good-tempered person, so she didn't notice anything wrong. After her death, she seemed to be buried in the pine forest behind the Zhang family."

Sun Zhaohei said with a stern face, "Besides these, have you ever harmed other people? In the past few years, have you never harmed other babies? Have you never harmed anyone else to sacrifice to the gods?"

"No, a lot of people were killed back then, and we also knew it was evil. But after so many years, we have become more and more uneasy in our hearts. Every day, we are afraid that what happened back then will happen again, and they are getting sicker and sicker. The pain was getting worse, and I had no way to seek medical treatment, so I wanted to pray to the water god. Aunt Zhang had also been infected, and her legs and feet were about to become disabled."

Zhang Erlang answered readily. When he talked about this, his voice was calm and dull, as if it was an ordinary thing.

After asking this, Sun Zhao understood everything, and then said: "Do you still remember how many people you killed back then? There are so many people in the village, how did you succeed? How many people did you kill?"

“I can’t remember how many people there were. Anyway, I can’t keep any of them, so how can we succeed... First, a family found that our whereabouts were unknown, and we looked like people who had been wandering around for a long time, so they asked us to tell us where we came from. Otherwise, we will report it to the officials. We will deal with their family first. Later, when we go back and discuss it, we feel that it is better not to do anything. Anyway, there is a murder case. When the officials come, we are afraid of being targeted. At that time, the woman Most of the family members were hiding in the woods. The five of us figured out what each family member did at night. I can’t remember how many people I killed. Anyway, I cut the mess quickly and didn’t give them a chance to escape."

Zhang Erlang's explanation was steady, and his voice had no fluctuations. Bo Ruoyou listened outside the house, and then thinking about the knife marks he had seen in the empty room, he seemed to be able to think of the day when the family was sleeping peacefully, but was broken into by the gangsters. Come into despair and fear of killing.

Sun Zhao asked a few more details, but Zhang Erlang explained them one by one. After a while, Sun Zhao walked out of the house and saw Huo Weilou and Bao Ruoyou coming over. He stepped forward and saluted before asking: "Master Hou How long has it been since you arrived?"

"For a moment." Huo Weilou glanced at the side room and said, "I have heard most of what was said inside. Once the interrogation reaches this point, what happened back then will become clear. When the people who went to Qinshui County come back, the deceased will be identified. Identity."

Sun Zhao nodded, "Yes, the most important thing now is to find the bones of other people."

Wu Xiang said hurriedly: "I have ordered people to dig it out. I believe it will be dug out soon."

Sun Zhao sighed, "It's extremely evil. It's really extremely evil. Although the plague was a catastrophe back then, these people were so lawless. They stayed up all night last night and barely asked a few questions. By this morning, This man suddenly thought about it and was actually willing to speak. I haven't seen such a tragedy in many years."

This case was equivalent to slaughtering the entire village, and in order to sacrifice the gods, even his own flesh and blood were not spared, which made it even more frightening. Sun Zhao stayed with Huo Weilou for a while before going to interrogate other people, but the other people still remained It's hard to pry open the mouth.

Seeing that nothing else could be found out after a while, Bo Ruoyou asked where Zhang Yu was. The officer took her to the back room, and Huo Weilou also followed.

This place is narrow and cramped, with useless furniture piled up. When he opened the door, Zhang Yu sat on a dusty wicker chair. Hearing the sound, he looked over expectantly. When he saw that it was Bo Ruoyou, , he shrank back and his tears flowed more fiercely, but he still held the small boat that Bo Ruoyouzhe gave him in his hand.

The paper was already rough, and it had already deformed after being held for a long time, but he still held on tightly. Huo Weilou stood at the door, and Bo Ruoyou walked in. She walked to Zhang Yu and sighed, "Don't be afraid. Your mother-in-law and father did bad things, but they have nothing to do with you. No matter how you deal with them afterwards, They and the government will give you a place to go."

Zhang Yu burst into tears and fear appeared on his face. Bo Ruoyou did not comfort him this time, but said sternly: "Don't believe what your mother-in-law taught you. There is no punishment from heaven in the world. You will be punished only if you do something wrong. You still can’t tell the difference now, but later you will know that you have to do more right things.”

Zhang Yu was still a child and had no good upbringing. Hearing these words, he only vaguely understood them. Bao Ruoyou took out a handkerchief and put it in his palm. Then he stood up and walked out. The door opened. After closing the door again, Zhang Yu whimpered louder inside. Bo Ruoyou sighed and felt a little worried. When he came out, he asked: "Where will such a child be placed?"

Huo Weilou thought for a while and said, "There is a small temple in Xiangguo Temple outside the city. There are many orphans in that temple who have no father or mother. They are raised as novice monks first. When they grow up, they can return to the secular world and no longer want to enter Buddhism."

Bao Ruoyou felt relieved and saw Huo Weilou looking at him deeply, and said, "Does the Marquis know that I once had a younger brother?"

Of course Huo Weilou knew, and he also knew that the child had died young, but his expression was ordinary and he only motioned for Bo Ruoyou to continue. As he walked, Bo Ruoyou said: "He is only one year younger than me, and his name is Lan Zhou. It turned out that He passed away in an accident. I was still young at the time. Later I also became ill. I can’t remember many things. I only remember that every time he cried, I would make him a paper boat using paper and he would make it. Stop crying."

"So you have extra compassion for children."

Bao Ruoyou twitched the corner of his lips, "Maybe, actually, I can't remember what he looks like, so when I see someone of a similar age, I always feel that if he reaches this age, he might look like this."

The two of them turned out from the back corridor, and there was no one around. Huo Weilou took her hand and shook it hard.

He quickly let go, but this time, the gloom in Bo Ruoyou's heart disappeared. She said again: "My father, mother and younger brother all died in accidents. I am the only one left in our third room, so They once said that I killed them by killing them."

Huo Weilou took her hand back again. He stopped and looked at her, "The person who said this is stupid and vicious. You don't need to take this to heart."

Bao Ruoyou blinked, "Aren't you afraid, Lord Marquis?"

Huo Weilou smiled, "No one in this world dares to compete with me."

When Bao Ruoyou mentioned this, she expected that Huo Weilou would not mind, but she knew that many people in the world believed this. It was not until Huo Weilou said that he had a hard life that the tension in her heart disappeared.

When they walked to the main hall, they saw that the sky was clear and the sky was clear outside. At this time, Yang ran in from outside the courtyard and said as he walked in: "Master Hou, arrest the head. Sure enough, we dug up bones in the pine forest. They came from outside." , we dug up a female corpse that had never been turned into bones."

Wu Xiang said: "That's Zhang Yu's mother. Zhang Er has already been recruited. Let's go. I'll go and see with you."

As soon as Bo Ruoyou heard that the bones and bodies had been found, he knew that he had to work, so he went to the pine forest together. Huo Weilou saw this and wanted to accompany him, but Bo Ruoyou paused and asked him, "Hou When will I return to Beijing?"

Huo Weilou tugged at his lips and said, "Go back to Beijing in the afternoon."

Bao Ruoyou thought about it for a moment, but didn't say anything else. Wu Xiang waited for Bao Ruoyou and asked her mysteriously: "Xiao Bo, why did the Marquis come here? Why should I just watch?" The Marquis has always been with you, Xiaobo, and has not seen any other private matters."

Bo Ruoyou's cheeks felt hot, "I don't know either, Captor, we have to hurry up and return to Beijing as soon as possible after the test."

Wu Xiang responded without even bothering to investigate further, and went straight to the pine forest behind the Zhang family.

When they arrived in the pine forest, they saw about twenty government officials working together to dig out large and small holes in the pine forest. There were also people cutting down trees, and the female body that Hou Yang mentioned was at the outermost edge. .

A dozen new pine trees have just been planted there, all of them waist-high. The middle one has been pulled out at this moment, and a simple coffin is revealed in the pit dug by the officials. The lid of the coffin has been opened. Before he reached the place, Bo Ruoyou smelled a rotten smell. When he reached the edge of the pit, he saw the female corpse in the coffin.

Bo Ruoyou said: "The body must be removed."

The cadres took action and took the body out with a cold look on their faces and placed it on the flat ground aside. Bo Ruoyou put on his gauntlets and rolled up his sleeves, covered his face with a handkerchief, and then squatted down. Come for the autopsy.

Huo Weilou stood aside and watched, watching her busy for the first time as an outsider.

The deceased had been dead for many days and was severely corrupted. Because he died after childbirth, the wound was even more rotten. Bo Ruoyou had already listened to Zhang Jiaerlang’s confession, so he naturally determined the cause of death first, while others around him continued digging for bones. At that time, she inspected it carefully in this remote corner. After two sticks of incense, Bo Ruoyou straightened up.

Wu Xiang strode over from a distance, "Xiaobo, how are you?"

Bo Ruoyou said sternly: "Zhang Er did not lie, she did die of bleeding."

Wu Xiang stared at her, "Fortunately, she was not murdered to death. She still has a little bit of conscience, but she feels sorry for her. She cannot save her daughter, and her own life is at stake."

Bao Ruoyou frowned, "Although he was not directly murdered, this family was ruthless and insisted on sacrificing the baby to the gods regardless of her obstruction. If he had a soft heart and was stopped by her, he might not have gone as far as this."
