Wu Yueniang was watching the sky slowly turning white by the window, waiting for her father and brother to come back. Next to her was Dongmei, who was swaying sleepily.
Wu Yueniang stood up and woke up Dongmei softly: "Dongmei, go to the front yard and see if the master and the others are back."
"Master, what are they doing?" Dongmei moved her cold limbs twice, looking puzzled: "Why didn't you come back all night? I've gone to see you several times. Besides, Miss, why don't you
Rest, what have you been waiting for? How cold the weather is."
"It's better that you don't know about these things." Wu Yueniang said with a wry smile: "Go and see."
Although Dongmei grew up with him, looking at the innocent Dongmei, Wu Yueniang still couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Dongmei agreed and walked to the front yard with a frown. Wu Yueniang was still leaning on the window sill, watching the sun rise slowly in the distance, but her heart kept falling all the time.
When Zhu Zhixian stood on the edge of the pit in front of the hall of Ximen's house, he was already three o'clock in the morning. Niu Dutou on the left and Master on the right looked at the big pit in front of them with incredible eyes.
How painful it must be to dig such a big hole in front of your home for eating. If you say it is a vegetable cellar, you would kill your head to believe it.
Of course, when Ximen Qing personally went to invite County Magistrate Zhu, he did not fully tell the actual situation, but retained part of it.
Zhu Zhixian looked at the big pit in front of him and looked at Ximen Qing. For a moment, he didn't know what this guy was asking him to do.
Looking at Ximen Qing's mysterious smile, even though Zhu Zhixian was quite wealthy, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ximen, did you invite me here just to see this big hole? Didn't you say that the Wu family and his son sneaked in last night?
Have you captured everyone here?"
You can't just dig a hole to lock people in?
Looking at Zhu Zhixian's puzzled eyes, Ximen Qing pointed to the pit excitedly: "You don't know yet, but this old man Wu actually has martial arts skills. If he hadn't dug such a big pit yesterday, he still wouldn't be able to catch this old thief!
"
"This is happening!" Zhu Zhixian couldn't help but take two steps forward. As the cover was cut off, sure enough, there was a man in black lying on his back under the pit, with white stuff all over his body. He didn't know what it was, and it was far away.
There is a steel knife far away.
Wu Qianhu has been awake for a while. Although the broken part of his right foot is still painful, he has gradually adapted to the pain and it does not affect his movements. However, the combination of lard and wooden boards still makes it impossible for him to get up.
, Wu Qianhu took out the wrist-breaking knife in his arms in the darkness, held it tightly behind his back, and covered the short blade with his sleeves.
Wu Qianhu thought that at dawn, Ximen Qing would take him out of the pit and tie him up, waiting for County Magistrate Zhu to come see him. Then he would take the opportunity to rebel, and he might be able to kidnap Ximen Qing and escape.
What he didn't expect was that before Ximen Qing came to Zhuzhi County, he had no intention of fishing for people, and continued to leave himself in the trap and ignored him.
So when the lid was opened, the first person who poked his head and looked at his embarrassed appearance was Zhu Zhixian. Wu Qianhu knew that his idea was unreliable again.
"Is this Wu Qianhu?" Zhu Zhixian couldn't accept the attire of a nocturnal thief like Wu Qianhu for a while. Besides, there were only two eyes exposed from his body, so it was really hard to tell.
"That's right." Magic fortune teller Jiang Jing nodded and said, "If Brother Ximen hadn't been prepared, he might have asked this old thief to stab him to death last night."
Although Ximen Qing was a little scared, he nodded proudly in front of Zhu Zhixian and acted like a wise man: "As long as this old thief dares to come, he will never come back."
As he spoke, he walked to the pit and greeted: "Old man Wu! Did you sleep well last night? Is it cold down there?"
Wu Qianhu didn't bother to pay attention to him. Instead, he secretly accumulated his remaining strength and was ready to attack at any time. Even if he couldn't leave, he would hold Ximen Qing on his back!
"Brother Ximen, find something to pull this old guy up." Zhu Zhixian nodded and said: "This guy dared to break into a house at night. He must have bad intentions. According to this county, today's property embezzlement case does not need to be brought to court.
Immediately send an order to surround the Wu family and wait for the family property to be counted."
Ximen Qing smiled and presented a confession: "This is the confession written by the old thief's son last night. He has confessed that he embezzled more than ten thousand yuan of my family's property. Please read it."
Zhu Zhixian took it without even looking at it, and handed it directly to the master next to him: "The evidence is conclusive, and there is nothing to see. Today, the county will have an on-site office."
"The adults think about the small people, and they are indeed the parents of food and clothing!" Ximen Qing praised without hesitation: "The people in the county must be grateful."
"Ximen Qing, you are going to die a good death!" Wu Qianhu listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but cursed: "Zhu, you are also a dog official, you two are working together!"
Zhu Zhixian frowned because he thought Wu Qianhu's scolding was unpleasant, and just urged Ximen Qing to find someone to take the guy out of the pit and tie him up.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Jing, the divine fortune teller, suddenly stood up: "This old thief is very skilled, so you have to be careful. A certain family has been hanging out in the world for a long time. A guy like this might have another weapon on him!"
"What?" Ximen Qing dodged back without thinking... and protected Zhu Zhixian behind him: "Sir, don't be afraid. I am here, and I will never let that old thief hurt you in the slightest."
Jiang Jing laughed and said: "Brother Ximen, don't worry. There is a certain family here and this old thief can't stand up. As long as he hangs up his arms with a pole, even if he has weapons, he can't use them."
"
"You didn't tell me earlier!" Ximen Qing then relaxed his posture angrily and called to the servants to bring over some poles.
This pole is made of medium-thick bamboo, with an iron hook on the front. It is usually used to hang lanterns.
When Wu Qianhu saw the two poles hanging down, he knew that his plan was completely in vain. He sighed and said: "Let's go! If I had known that I would be so humiliated, I would have been still making a living in the world. Why wash my hands in the golden basin?"
"
As two poles hooked his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, Wu Qianhu took advantage of the situation and sat up, shouting sternly: "You birdies, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
After saying that, he flipped his wrist and stabbed his chest with the bright sharp knife!
"No! This old thief is going to commit suicide!" Ximen Qing was the first to come to the pit. Looking at Wu Qianhu who already had a sharp knife stuck in his heart, he hurriedly motioned to the servants to lift up the pole.
Black blood flowed from Wu Qianhu's mouth, and he could not die for a moment. He looked at Ximen Qing with two eyes and suddenly smiled: "Do you think you can find those belongings after I die? I want to take this secret to the lower level!"
"
Ximen Qing smiled shyly: "Old thief, don't forget, you also have a son who is afraid of pain. If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates."
"He He..." Wu Qianhu suddenly remembered his useless son, raised his arms unwillingly, and then slowly lowered his head...
When Wu Qianhu was pulled up, he was already dead. He only had two eyes wide open, and he was very unwilling.
Niu Du took off the mask on his head, revealing Wu Qianhu's face. Zhu Zhixian nodded: "This guy actually committed suicide, so it was an advantage for him."
A gust of wind blew over and blew away Wu Qianhu's sleeves. Ximen Qing's sharp eyes saw that there seemed to be a looming tattoo on the old man's wrist. He hurriedly asked Niu Dutou to roll up the dead man's sleeves. Sure enough, there was a tattoo on the lower part of the wrist.
It has the shape of a wasp. Although the body of the bee is not big, the spikes protruding from the tail are as long as the body, which looks very strange.
Ximen Qing didn't do much research on this kind of thing, but he felt that the tattoo was ugly, even though he only glanced at it twice. On the contrary, Jiang Jing seemed slightly surprised when he saw the tattoo, and he leaned down and looked back and forth.
"Brother Jiang Xian, what did you find?" Zhu Zhixian asked.
Jiang Jing stood up, frowned and thought for a while: "Killer bees, when they see blood, they go crazy and kill everyone in the family, old and young."
"Killer bee?" The master seemed to have thought of something on the side: "Sir, there was a lone robber in Hebei Province more than 20 years ago who killed many people, and his name seemed to be that."
"Huh?" Ximen Qing on the side was also very surprised, why Wu Yueniang's father still has such age.
"That's right." Jiang Jing nodded affirmatively: "This old thief must be the Killer Bee. No one has ever known his real name. He kills everyone wherever he goes, so no one has ever seen him.
With his appearance, I didn’t expect that this person has been living anonymously in Qinghe County.”
Hearing this, Ximen Qing was only frightened for a while. Fortunately, this old thief had withdrawn from the world before, otherwise his cheap son-in-law would have been chopped off with a knife, and there would be no need to slowly embezzle the property.
A greedy expression appeared on Zhu Zhixian's face, but it immediately disappeared without a trace: "Brother Ximen, you see, although this killer bee committed suicide, it is still a great achievement to report it to the police. This county will let Master
Drafting official documents..."
"What a great achievement?" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "How could a young man have the position of county captain if he hadn't been promoted by an adult? For this kind of credit, he should naturally be considered an adult."
"Very good!" Zhu Zhixian did not hesitate like an old fox, and nodded directly: "In that case, this county and Xiandi Ximen each have half the contribution!"
"Niudutou!"
"The little one is here!"
"Send a few government officials to escort the people and block the Wu family's door." Zhu Zhixian ordered: "Brother Ximen, the Wu family will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry while I do the work." Ximen Qing's eyes suddenly shone, as if he saw Jiaozi flying in the sky, and Wu Yueniang, who looked very beautiful.
Uncle Wu was dragged out and saw his father's body lying on the ground. He was so frightened that he immediately revealed several secret places in the house.
So, a group of people, led by Ximen Qing, who were about to ransack the house, led Uncle Wu to kill him happily. They were much more popular than Wu Qianhu's team that came to destroy the house before.
