Chapter 65: Smart Son's Soul Lost in Daxing County, Fourth Master Jia Broke His Arm in Grand View Garden
After breaking the death crush of five rolling logs, there is a flat land ahead...
Uh, the ground is full of gravel, it doesn't look like a smooth road.
In short, Sun Shaozong led a few frightened but high-spirited yamen runners to the top of the mountain, and no traps were activated.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a sturdy, scarred man holding a young man who looked like a little chicken in his arms in front of the foundation of the pavilion that had been demolished and rebuilt. Needless to say, these two people were naturally the "Wooden Man Zhang" and Jia Qin.
"Don't come over here! Or I'll kill him!"
Wooden Man Zhang held a carving knife in his hand and pressed it against Jia Qin's neck with trembling hands. In the blink of an eye, several bloody marks were left, which frightened Jia Qin so much that he cried out "wuuuu" and his crotch felt extremely hot and uncomfortable.
Sun Shaozong's eyes fell on Jia Qin's crossed and tied hands. He suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "You went to so much trouble on the corpse just to hide this scaled rope?"
Given the technological conditions in ancient times, it was impossible to mass-produce metal measuring tapes, so craftsmen printed the dimensions on ropes to compare lengths and measure straightness, and called them "rope rulers."
If one's hands and feet are tied up with this kind of 'rope ruler' for a long time, the skin will inevitably be stained with the marks. At that time, with a little investigation, it will not be difficult to identify the person as a nearby craftsman.
That's why this wooden man Zhang went to so much trouble to erase all the 'skin, flesh and bones' where the marks were printed!
Without waiting for the wooden man Zhang to answer, Sun Shaozong asked again: "What is the purpose of covering up the burn on the head of the corpse?"
“You…you…gulp…”
The wooden man Zhang swallowed hard, barely suppressing the nervousness in his heart, and finally uttered a few more complete sentences: "You are the 'divine judge Sun Tongpan' of Shuntian Prefecture, right? I knew that those fools in Daxing County Court would never be able to find out about me! "
Upon hearing this, several yamen runners from Daxing County immediately started shouting and cursing.
The wooden man Zhang ignored him, with only Sun Shaozong in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Now, I am not afraid to tell everything! My wife was originally a nun in Shuiyue Temple..."
"The nun from Shuiyue Temple?"
Sun Shaozong was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized: "So you set that fire because her hair was too short!"
“That’s right!”
Mu Ren Zhang nodded and said, "She has been with me for more than two months, and her hair has only grown less than an inch. Anyone who sees her can guess that she is a nun! So I had to burn her hair clean, so that no one can see the flaw anymore!"
At this point, all doubts have been resolved.
Sun Shaozong was just about to guide him to tell him all the other details, but Zhou Rui beside him frowned and interrupted, "Wooden Man Zhang, the Buddhist name of this little nun in Shuiyue Temple is 'Zhengneng'?"
Wooden Man Zhang glanced at him sideways, stiffened his neck and shouted, "What does a Buddhist name mean? Since she's become my wife, she must change her surname to Zhang!"
Although he did not give a direct answer, his words and implications clearly showed that he had acknowledged that the deceased's Buddhist name was "Zhi Neng Er".
The deceased was actually an acquaintance of Rongguo Mansion?
Sun Shaozong glanced at Zhou Rui in surprise, and sneered, "Wooden Man Zhang, you are really not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind! That 'Zhengneng'er' was clearly kidnapped by you, and in the end you caused her to die. How did she become your wife?"
"I didn't kill her!"
Zhang the Wooden Man suddenly became furious. He raised the carving knife in his hand and immediately cut a bloody hole on Jia Qin's chin. He stirred the tip of the knife in the bloody hole and said hatefully, "It's him! It's him who wouldn't let me go back, and that's why...that's why my wife was killed!"
As he spoke, Zhang the Wooden Man began to choke up and shouted excitedly, "Ever since I picked her up in the snow that night, I have been determined that she is my wife! Originally, I was planning to marry her off properly when she got pregnant with my child, but who would have thought..."
"Who would have thought that this bastard wouldn't let me go! I begged on my knees and made a scene, but he... but he just wouldn't let me go!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly pulled the carving knife out from Jia Qin's chin, yelling, "You son of a bitch, you're going to die anyway, I'm going to make you pay for her life today!"
As he said that, he aimed at Jia Qin's neck and stabbed him!
"don't want!"
Zhou Rui yelled in fear, but before he could finish his words, he saw a flash of white light before his eyes, and then he heard the wooden man scream "Ah", and fell to the ground with Jia Qin!
Sun Shaozong stepped out of the crowd and stepped on the wooden man Zhang's chest. Only then did everyone realize that one of the stone sticks in his hand was missing.
It turned out that when Sun Shaozong saw the emergency, he swung the stone stick and hit the wooden man Zhang's wrist, breaking half of his arm!
This wooden man Zhang was a tough guy. Even when Sun Shaozong stepped on his chest, he still struggled and cursed: "Let me go! Let me kill this bastard and avenge my wife! Let me go..."
"revenge?"
Sun Shaozong exerted a little force on his feet to stop him from cursing. He lowered his head and sneered, "How dare you talk about revenge? Don't be ridiculous! If you really liked her as much as you said, why didn't you dare to tell anyone? Why did you tie her up in the cellar? Instead, you let her die of hunger and cold?!"
"If you really loved her that much, why would you wantonly destroy her body just to cover up the traces?!"
"Stop pretending!"
"You just want to find a woman to vent your lust! What wife, what love for her, it's all bullshit!"
"The only person you really care about is yourself!"
After Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he moved his right foot away from his chest.
But the wooden man Zhang seemed unaware and still lay on his back on the yellow earth used as the foundation. There was no trace of cruelty on his scarred face anymore, only endless confusion and shame.
“Ah~ !!!”
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly sounded beside him. It was Zhou Rui who rushed over and pulled the rag out of Jia Qin's mouth.
All I could hear was Jia Qin crying out at the top of her lungs: "My arm, my arm is broken! My arm... my arm..."
It turned out that Sun Shaozong's throw just now not only broke the wooden man Zhang's wrist, but also broke Jia Qin's right arm.
Sun Shaozong looked at his right arm, which was limp and hung on his shoulder like a rag bag, and shrugged helplessly, "I'm sorry, the situation was urgent just now, and I had no choice but to resort to this."
At the same time, he sneered in his heart: This arm should be regarded as the punishment for killing that 'Smart'.
That's right~
Just now, Sun Shaozong specifically aimed at Jia Qin and threw it at him!
