It was not the first time for Gu Shen to see Dong Lin. He had a relationship with Dong Lin in his early years. However, no matter who saw Dong Lin, he would never have thought that he was a famous thief. Because Donglin was really hard to notice, when he was sitting curled up against the wall, Gu Shen even had to make two rounds to find him.
"It's him." Cang Ji looked at it, "It's easy to find."
Jinglin's folding fan tapped on his knees and said, "He didn't bring the copper bell with him today."
"What about him." Cang Ji's sharp teeth were slightly exposed, "If you can't find it, eat him."
Gu Shen was already sitting in front of Dong Lin, he and Dong Lin looked at each other for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect you to end up in such a situation."
"Evil will be rewarded." Dong Lin took off his velvet cap, revealing his entire face. His half-drooping eyes always seem to be unable to open, and he is haggard, only the lines are still cold and sharp. He also looked at Gu Shen and said, "You haven't gone home yet."
"There is no news for more than 30 years. How easy is it to return to my hometown? The old woman who kidnapped me has already been buried in the ground. I don't know how long it will take." Gu Shen raised his hand, and his subordinates handed over two jars of cold wine. He opened the mouth of the jar and threw it to Donglin.
The two of them touched an altar by the narrow corner and drank with their heads raised. Gu Shen wiped his mouth, put the altar on his side, and said, "Speak."
"Chen Ren is addicted to gambling and once owed me six gold beads. I have a bad harvest this year, and as the New Year is approaching, I have to collect some debts. Because of this, I visited many times, but who would know that he repeatedly prevaricates me and has no choice but to pay my bills. I can only go to his house in the middle of the night to ask for a debt. How could I expect that his family was still awake, and I had an argument with Chen Ren. The old man wanted to go out to report to the official, so how could I allow him to do this? On a whim, he killed the family of four. It's clean." Dong Lin sipped the cold wine, slowly exhaled the hot breath, and said, "... I just didn't know there was a little girl in his family. I don't want to touch the child, so I can only keep her."
"It's not difficult to get out of the city with your skills. When you get out of the town, you can find a home for her and you can get away. Although I have an order to investigate, but seeing that the limit is approaching, I have to report it to the top and wait for three to five days. Only after the newly awarded documents can we go out of town to pursue you." Gu Shen said, "However, at such a good time, you are caught in the net?"
"As soon as he met this Donglin, he turned a tiger into a cat." Cang Ji grabbed Jinglin's fan, pulled it to him, and asked, "He treats this person very differently, so others are not afraid that they will be in unison and become evil?"
"Just pity each other with the same disease." Jing Lin tapped Cang Ji's head with a fan, and the villain immediately looked up and down.
"Chen's family is still alive, but Cao Yu is not. When I see her, I think of my daughter. I have lived in hiding all my life, and I can't see the light. I'm not a good person." Dong Lin raised his eyes and looked through Gu Shen Elsewhere, "As a result, I suffered from the separation of flesh and blood, and suffered the pain of gouging out my heart. I have not returned to the shore, so why drag another one."
"If you hadn't killed her whole family, I could still hear those words, but you killed her whole family." Gu Shen stomped on the stool and endured for a moment before saying, "She is alone now, and the Chen family is around. No relatives, what do you call her... "
"The Chen family is still alive," Dong Lin said.
"Is there anything to die for? You treat the law as nothing, and you dare to say such a thing." The veins on the back of Gu Shen's hand were already bursting, "Dong Lin, are you really lawless?"
Dong Lin drank the cold wine, raised his hand and threw the altar, and said to Gu Shen, "I am already here, what are you waiting for?"
"I'll wait for the truth." Gu Shen suddenly stood up, "You said you killed it, and Qian Weishi said he killed it. What exactly are you two vying to be the murderer?"
"I don't recognize that person," Donglin said blankly.
"He may recognize you." Gu Shen said, "Qian Weishi, can you recognize who he is?"
The subordinates brought money to serve as an official, the master covered his face with his hands, only glanced at Donglin with his eyes, and said, "I have never seen it before."
Dong Lin only sneered.
"Chen Ren has been on the streets all the year round, and the ability to mess around is the most difficult. If money is the hand of the official, I am afraid that he needs to plan well. But because the master is thin and weak, even if he kills people, he can't do it. Divide the body. Dong Lin’s skills are extraordinary, killing people is really easy, but the time-consuming and laborious things like dismembering the body, you can’t finish it for a while if you take care of the little girl of the Chen family.” Said, "Could it be that the two of you join hands and divide the labor?"
"If I want to find help, why should I find someone who reads." Dong Lin put his hands on the table and let the people tie them up, he said, "I still remember the process of killing and dismembering the body clearly now. I first knocked Chen Ren unconscious in the In the inner room, he blocked the mouth of his wife Zhou Shi, but seeing that the old man and the old woman wanted to run for help, he took the first step and cut down the old lady Chen with his saber. At this time, the old man was in front of the door, and I ran through him from the back. The two people were old and frail, and they were both dead. When I turned around, I saw Zhou was about to jump over the wall to escape, so I grabbed her bun, dragged the person into the courtyard, and ended with a knife. Wait for me When he entered again, he gave Chen Ren three knives and dragged him out of the room. When he passed the firewood room, he noticed that he was still breathing and struggling. At this moment, I heard gasping in the courtyard on the left, and I saw a white-haired old woman panicking and crawling to close the door. I wanted to kill her, but the body in the courtyard was inconvenient to keep for a long time, and I expected that she must not see who I was. Whoever turned around and continued to take care of the corpse. I didn't want to divide the corpse." Dong Lin's voice was steady, and at this moment, he showed the ferocity of a desperado, "But I don't want to take Chen Ren so cheaply, I will cut him with a thousand cuts. It's not enough to vent my hatred. I stole the knife for dismembering the corpse from a knife shop three streets away in the snow. It was inconvenient to carry, so I threw it in the gap of the firewood room and scribbled it. I guess it doesn't matter if you find it. Ask him, how did he kill people? He's afraid he can't even lift a knife."
Qian Weishi never looked at Donglin. Every time Donglin said a word, his hands trembled.
"No... I-I prescribed medicine at Chen's house two months ago..."
"Chen Ren will let you in? Besides, there are only women and children in his family, how dare you go there in a grand manner?" Dong Lin looked at Qian Weishi, "I don't know why you took the blame for me, but you and I don't know each other, I owe this favor. Sorry."
Qian Weishi suddenly trembled and wept, he choked and said, "You..."
"Since I entered the arena, the word 'Donglin' has been my trademark. If you take my case, you will wipe my name, and you will rob my job." Hate, don't you want to die?"
Cang Ji felt that when Jing Lin heard the last sentence, it seemed like a meal. The folding fan he turned with his fingertips was slow for a moment, and fell on his knees again. Although a moment passed, Cang Ji felt that he was disturbed by these words.
Don't you want to die
Cang Ji vaguely seemed to have heard it.
The folding fan suddenly blocked in front of him, and Jinglin looked at him sideways and said, "What are you staring at me?"
"You are always staring at you." Cang Ji said, "Look at you."
Jing Lin did not answer. The stone villain poked Cang Ji's back again and again, and he didn't seem to be in high spirits. Cang Ji grabbed the little stone man's finger, turned around and asked, "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Stone tilted his head and kicked him lightly with his foot.
Qian Wei Shi below was silent for a long time, and he lowered his hands and looked calm. He wiped away his tears, and had already grown white hair in just a few days.
"The white-haired old woman can see clearly, but she pretends to be deaf and dumb." Dong Lin said, "Her child was urinating in the corner, and she clearly looked at me, but when she turned her head, she said it was someone else. These personal testimonies Chaos, did the government actually believe it?"
"Even if what you said is true, the clothes found in Qian Weishi's house are also true. Neighbors all see him and Chen Caoyu..." The subordinate wanted to argue.
"It has nothing to do with me," Donglin said. "I only recognize my case."
"If you sincerely want Chen Caoyu to be good, then you shouldn't cover up the money as an official." Gu Shen refused to give in, "You must know each other."
"What will happen to Chen Caoyu in the future has nothing to do with me. Who is Qian Weishi, it has nothing to do with me. Do you want me to falsely testify and kill someone for you by involving unrelated people?" Dong Lin sophistry, "If this is true I mean, it's not impossible for me to help you."
"I don't even believe that you are so rambunctious." Gu Shen said.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." The shackles on Donglin's wrists "crashed", he pushed his arms to lie down at the desk, and said to Gu Shen, "This case has reached the limit, and the government officials should give an explanation to the superiors. It was an appalling massacre. , The evidence is conclusive, if you don't believe it, the prefect should believe it."
"You have calculated the limit." Gu Shen's heart suddenly became clear, "You stay in the town for a few days, and you are waiting for the deadline for this case."
A slow smile appeared on Dong Lin's face, and his fingers circled around his neck, "Call me to the ground, everyone will be happy."
"I want to find out clearly." Gu Shen said, "I have to find out clearly!"
"Why be persistent." Dong Lin sat up straight, "Gu Shen, why are you still unwilling to admit it, the case is already understood." His eyes drifted away again, and he muttered, "Let me go quickly, so that I can catch up with my family. ."
Gu Shen had nowhere to vent his anger, but at this moment he heard Qian Weishi speak. Qian Weishi bent his body and pushed away the messy hair on his face. In this action, he and Dong Lin had the first face-to-face look today.
"...I want to appeal my grievance." Qian Weishi said in a trembling voice.
"You owe money to serve as an official! Your mother has an emergency, and there is no silver taels on the counter, so you went to ask for money to serve as an official. He lent you fifty copper beads, but there is no document." Gu Shen pinched it. Eyebrows, forced to ask the guy, "Yes or no!"
The guy was terrified and his face was ashen.
"Because there is no written evidence, if he has three longs and two shorts, there is no need to pay the money back." Gu Shen pointed his finger on the table hastily, "What did you say to Lao Tzu? 'Young people never borrow money', if it wasn't for him to lend you money Of these fifty pearls, what did you do to save your mother!"
"Little..." The man stammered and stammered, "for, to handle the case..."
"Fuck your mother!" Gu Shen said, "What's your idea, you want me to say it again?"
"No, I don't dare!" The man knelt down abruptly and walked in a panic, "Xiao, Xiao did borrow his money... But, he didn't want to kill him! The government is handling the case, how dare Xiao Xiao lie? He... he , He does often bring Chen Cao, Cao Yu... If he is not a ghost, how can the government find those evidences!"
"You confuse the public with false testimony." Gu Shen nodded between his eyebrows, "You are fucking courting death!"
The man panicked, dragging Gu Shen's legs and begging: "The little one really has nothing to do with this case! Gu, Big Brother Gu! Gu Big Brother knows it! Ah, the little one is afraid, afraid of being related to this case, then I , my mother…”
"He rescued your mother at least once." Gu Shenchui looked at him, "You repaid with false prevarication?"
"The money can be repaid, it can be repaid!" The man clenched Gu Shen tightly and burst into tears, "But if it's involved in prison...then...then..."
Gu Shen kicked him away, unable to let go.
Donglin was personally arraigned by the prefect, put into prison, and the case was closed to be executed. Qian Weishi suffered a few days in prison, but was able to get out unharmed. When he stepped out of the yamen, he saw Gu Shen.
Gu Shen's authority is not enough, and all the subsequent reviews have nothing to do with him. Chasing Kuai seems to be majestic, but in fact, he is not as favored as the person who pours the chamber pot next to the adult. He squatted here early today, just to wait for the money to become an official.
"I saw Chen Caoyu last night, and I still want to ask the Master something." Gu Shen said.
Qian Weishi slowly returned the salute, as if listening intently.
"If Donglin doesn't come, you won't be able to escape a slash at the door." Gu Shen stepped on the snow and approached, his old jacket was shortened, and some cotton scraps were exposed on his elbows. In fact, he has something in common with Qian Weishi, that is, the loneliness in the sloppy gap. He said, "I think about it and think you are interesting. There are a dozen or so children on this street, but you have to stare at Chen Caoyu, why? Girl. I tossed and turned, and I just turned around and thought about it, and seemed to understand something true and false."
Gu Shen let out some heat, his face was hidden in the void, and he said: "The child is so thin that he is not sick, but hungry. A Hongdao, you fought against Chen Ren, not because of what you did to Chen Caoyu, It's you who sensed what Chen Ren did to the child. Master Qian - how did the Chen family treat her?"
Qian Weishi was wearing thin sleeves, and his fingers were sore from the sweat. He tried to speak several times, but was blurred by trembling.
"...The Chen family is still alive." Qian Weishi whispered in a hoarse voice.
