Chapter 167 Eight Treasures Makeup 21

Zhao Yu obviously didn't expect this to be a game.

He looked at Lu Ke for a moment, and also thought about Lu Ke's identity. After thinking for a long time, he vaguely recalled that this person was a government official at first glance. Although he was wearing regular clothes, his eyes and overall aura were very different from ordinary people. But how could it happen? Everyone has fallen into the trap. He has already played tricks on everyone in the yamen for the first time, and now he has played tricks on them for the second time. How did he expect that he would come here?

He clenched his knuckles on the ax slightly, looked at Lu Ke and the people behind him, and understood that he was in danger.

"Brother Yu from Zhao's class?" Lu Ke suddenly spoke.

Zhao Yu frowned, a little surprised in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Lu Ke to reveal his identity with one word.

Lu Ke's eyes showed clear, "If I remember correctly, you have been in the garden for almost three years. You just started serving Yu Xun a year ago. From then to now, you have been preparing for a long time. You and The garden steward reported that you are eighteen years old, so I guess you are the four-year-old child who survived the Zhao family class."

The children who survived at that time were four and seven years old. According to calculations of similar ages, he should be Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu stared at Lu Ke, "So you all know."

Lu Ke said indifferently: "Not only did I know, but I also dug up the corpses of your master, teacher, mother, and brothers..."

This statement immediately angered Zhao Yu, "How dare you——"

Lu Ke said calmly: "Yu Xun and others all came from the Zhao family class, and their confessions were false. The yamen had no choice but to go back, and finally found out what happened fourteen years ago. I wanted to find out what happened back then. What happened to find their graves? You are afraid that they will be uneasy if their graves are dug up, but if you do this, they will feel wrong if they look at it in the sky."

Zhao Yu laughed coldly. The noise caused by the fire in the distance continued, but people began to walk towards the courtyard. Soon, Wu Xiang led two people into the courtyard first. When he saw He understood the cause and effect from the scene in the house, and then thought about Lu Ke's strange behavior in the past few days. He understood it a little, but didn't understand it a little.

For Zhao Yu, it was impossible to escape from this situation. His back stiffened for a moment, and finally he threw the ax in his hand to the ground with a clang.

Lu Ke nodded to the two people behind him, and they immediately stepped forward to catch Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu didn't resist, but the fear on his face was replaced by indifference. When he was escorted out, he didn't even look at anyone around him.

Wu Xiang scratched his head and walked towards Lu Ke, "Captain Lu, how do you say this?"

Lu Ke handed the oil lamp in his hand to the yamen and said softly: "The murderer wanted to kill people. In the past, he did kill according to his age. But now time is running out and the yamen are keeping a close eye on him. The murderer must also want to kill people earlier. , we focused on Chen Mo, but deliberately left a hole in Liu Qing's side, and the murderer is someone who knows how to lure a tiger away from the mountain and attack in the east, so he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity."

Wu Xiang immediately realized the strange arrangements in the garden. They were guarding the garden for many days, just to put pressure on the murderer, but they also specially left a loophole that the murderer could discover. They used temptation and coercion to make the murderer I had to get into this situation.

Wu Xiang was stunned and thought of the camphor forest behind the bird garden for a moment.

There is a net outside the forest, and rare birds are raised inside. Ordinary birds obey the orders of their taming masters, but occasionally there are fierce birds that do not want to return to their cages. The taming masters do not want to hurt the birds, so they follow them while doing so. They beat the treetops from all directions and put the most tempting water on the ground. The birds were surrounded and threatened, and when they saw the tempting food, they naturally had to fly to peck at it. The bird taming master easily caught the birds. Capture.

"Captain Wu, if you stay here to deal with the aftermath, I will report to the Marquis and take him back to the Yamen for interrogation."

After Lu Ke finished speaking, Wu Xiang hurriedly responded. After a while, Lu Ke led the people to Jingzhaoyi Yamen.

The night was already very late, but not long after the news was sent out, Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou to the Yamen. When he saw Zhao Yu kneeling in the main hall, Bo Ruoyou was also a little surprised.

When he went to the Bird Garden for the first time, as Yu Xun's servant, Zhao Yu was shocked and scared. He looked weak and pitiful, giving people a sense of innocence and harmlessness. Who would have thought that he was murderer?

Sun Zhao also got the news that the murderer had appeared, and hurried to the Yamen at night. He was the chief officer of the case.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yu was dressed in coarse blue clothes and knelt in the hall. He frowned slightly and looked quite calm. "Zhao Yu, eighteen years old, is from Qinzhou in the northwest. He moved to the capital due to natural disasters."

"So you were the only one who survived the fire that year?"

"Yes."

"Where are the other two?"

"All dead."

Sun Zhao frowned, and Zhao Yu said: "There were three people who survived that year. Uncle Qian got sick and died five years ago. Senior brother was severely burned and died not long after."

Sun Zhao looked at Huo Weilou and saw that Huo Weilou had no intention of speaking, so he continued: "Fourteen years have passed since this incident. Did you commit this crime to avenge your master? What happened back then? What's going on?"

"It's revenge. Back then..." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, "Back then, my master was kind and used the troupe's income to adopt many orphans. In those few years, there were many refugees in the capital, and I was one of them. I had some strength. People can find a job and beg for food when they come here, but a half-grown child like me can only be a beggar. If there is any illness or disaster, he will not be able to survive."

"Master has adopted at least a dozen children. He does not adopt children under ten years old, as young as three or five years old, as old as eight or nine years old. Master teaches us juggling and wants us to learn a craft, etc. When they were twelve or thirteen years old, Master didn’t stop them from leaving. When the five of them were sent away, the troupe really couldn’t support it any longer.”

"They are smart, agile, and have learned some real skills. They can make a living without leaving. I was only four years old at the time among the five left by the master. There was another senior brother who was seven years old, and the other three senior brothers were all We are eight or nine years old, and we are either sick or very clumsy. Naturally, Master also thinks that we have good character and is willing to raise us like his own sons."

"In fact, it was not just the five of them who were sent away. There were also a few older senior brothers who had been gone for a long time. The five of them came back three months after they left. We were unprepared. I can't remember anything else. I just remember that Master found out there was something wrong with the well water, and stuffed me into a cabinet in the house before they came in."

Zhao Yu's eyes trembled, "I saw how they killed my master, my wife, and several senior brothers. Originally, they wanted to kill Uncle Qian and the others, but they were afraid, and the neighbors were separated. If they were close, they would most likely be discovered, so they set fire to it."

Sun Zhao sighed, "All three of you survived and buried the bodies of your master and the others. Since you knew who the murderer was and reported it to the officials back then, why didn't you tell the people in the Yamen?"

Zhao Yu raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at Sun Zhao sharply, "Tell the people in the Yamen? Is it useful to tell them? I was injured at the time, and I was only a four-year-old child. I told him that I I saw the murderer, who was my master's former disciple, but no one believed it. They wouldn't let me tell me, and they didn't want anyone to bother to catch him. The officials even claimed that the master and the others were burned to death in a fire."

After he finished speaking, he smiled miserably, and Sun Zhao actually felt a little panicked.

Huo Weilou sat in the first place on the left, and Bo Ruoyou sat in the subordinate position. After hearing this, they both understood that the Yamen was guilty of dereliction of duty, but it was difficult to trace the incident many years ago.

Sun Zhao pondered for a moment, "I think you have grown up well over the years, why do you still come to seek revenge after so long?"

Zhao Yu's back stiffened for a moment. He knelt straight, with a calm and indifferent expression. Even when he was violent, he never showed the fragile emotions of fear and panic. However, Sun Zhao's question made him feel deep in his eyes. It shows a bit of long-lasting sadness.

"It's true that a long time has passed. The alley where Master used to live has now become a new public square. The government office has also been completely renewed from top to bottom. No one in the capital can remember that a strange incident occurred in the south of the city fourteen years ago. The fire."

"Everything has passed, and everything seems to have settled, except for those who witnessed the case." The sadness in Zhao Yu's eyes dissipated, and then turned into a deep dry well, "You must have never experienced the feeling of losing a loved one. , that feeling will not fade with time. Ever since I was able to make a living on my own, I have been tracing the whereabouts of those people. It was not until four years ago that I discovered that they had returned to the capital. They had changed their names, entered the painting boat and entered the theater. Although the building is only for the amusement of the nobles, it is also a life of fine clothes and fine food."

"How could this be? Master taught that people should be punished if they make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they will not be punished. Then no one in this world will have to distinguish between right and wrong. They killed the master and the mother who had the kindness to raise them. , killed the brothers who were brothers and sisters, how could they still live their lives easily and comfortably after they had harmed so many people?"

"The victim suffers in nightmares, but the perpetrators sit back and relax. What's the truth? Killing is wrong, but no one can uphold justice for the deceased Master and Master, so I decided to avenge them."

Zhao Yu's brows had a hint of evil in his eyes, "I killed them using the same method, but even so, it couldn't relieve the hatred in my heart, because my master and my mother had turned into a pile of bones, but they were safe and sound. After more than ten years, the world is unfair, the world is really unfair. They should have paid for their lives fourteen years ago! I took revenge, but it was too late. Now you know that it was not a fire, but it is too late. , it’s really too late..."

His hands clenched at his sides were clenched into fists. Looking in the direction of Bo Ruoyou, one could see his grief and anger. At this moment, she felt as if she had been hit by a cold arrow, and her heart was suffocating. Looking at it, she not only understood Zhao Yu's state of mind, but also a few fragmentary pictures appeared in her mind in the dim and dancing lights in the hall...
