It's cold tonight, with strong wind and heavy snow.
Cui Yong and Niu Er drank wine and did not go to watch the night. They went home and slept first.
Maybe he drank too much and didn't sleep well that night.
He had just had a dream, as if he had been hit with a sap.
Feeling groggy, Cui Yong felt a splitting headache.
Even a little suffocated, unable to breathe.
He wanted to rub his head, but his hands didn't work.
"Um?"
Cui Yong was startled, suddenly woke up, and opened his eyes.
He subconsciously wanted to turn over and sit up, but found that he was not on the hot kang at all, but was tied to a chair at home.
His hands were tied behind his back and his feet were tied to the legs of the chair, making him unable to exert any strength at all.
There was a ball of rag stuffed in his mouth and he couldn't speak.
what happened?
Is there a bad guy in the house?
Stealing wealth or seeking revenge?
"Woo!"
Cui Yong struggled on the chair for a long time, panting from exhaustion, but could not get out.
The rope is tied too tight.
Cui Yong's nose twitched and he breathed heavily.
It was so quiet inside the house.
Depressed.
gloomy.
There is still a hint of killing intent!
This feeling is too excruciating.
Cui Yong's eyes widened and he looked around. In the dark corner in front of him, there seemed to be a vague figure.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Cui Yong wanted to ask someone, but he only made a series of whining sounds.
"bass……"
There was a sound of metal and stone rubbing together slowly.
Cui Yong's expression changed.
He was most familiar with this sound.
This is the sound of a long knife being unsheathed and the blade rubbing against the scabbard!
Cui Yong was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He was used to being domineering in the fish and meat village, and he had offended many people.
For a moment, he couldn't even figure out which enemy came to kill him.
In Changze County, there was Cui Capt. Even if someone hated him, they would not dare to touch him.
Who on earth dared to attack him?
The man was tall, dragging a long shining knife, and slowly walked out of the shadows in the corner.
The 'rustling' sound made by the friction between the tip of the knife and the ground is like a reminder from the underworld!
Cui Yong's heart almost jumped out of his chest and he forgot to breathe. His whole body was trembling with fear.
But when the person came closer and Cui Yong saw it clearly, his original fear diminished a bit.
Chen Tang!
This little beast dared to come to my door while I was drunk!
What does he want to do?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Cui Yong stared at Chen Tang with an angry look on his face, moaning incessantly, and kept shaking his body. If there was no rope to tie him up, he might have pounced on him.
Dealing with Cui Yong is even easier.
Chen Tang took advantage of him being drunk and asleep, sneaked into his home, knocked him unconscious with a scabbard, and tied him to a chair with a prepared rope.
Chen Tang looked at Cui Yong quietly, expressionless.
The look in his eyes didn't look like he was looking at a person, but rather like he was looking at a piece of squirming flesh.
When Cui Yong struggled until he lost all his strength, Chen Tang slowly said: "What am I asking, what are your answers, don't talk nonsense to me."
"Why was my father put in prison?"
Chen Tang took off the rag from Cui Yong's mouth.
"Chen Tang, you are so brave..."
Poof!
Chen Tang stabbed Cui Yong's right leg with his knife!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Cui Yong couldn't cry out, and the rag was stuffed into his mouth again, and he only let out a painful groan.
"You answered it wrong."
Chen Tang said lightly.
The reason why I asked Cui Yong again was not to torture him, but to corroborate the information obtained from Niu Er and Cui Yong so that I could get the answer closest to the truth and not be easily deceived.
Cui Yong was trembling in pain and sweating profusely. In addition to endless anger, there was also a trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at Chen Tang, and his breathing became more rapid.
Chen Tang said: "It's still the same question as before. I'll give you another chance."
This time, Cui Yong nodded repeatedly and looked much more well-behaved.
Chen Tang took off the rag from Cui Yong's mouth.
Cui Yong's eyes flickered, he swallowed his saliva, and said: "That day, Magistrate Sun asked us to go collect the money. When we received it at your house, your father refused to hand it over and even injured someone, which happened to alert Meng Cat who was patrolling nearby. He was the head and escorted him to the Yamen."
"well."
Chen Tang sighed softly: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it."
"I, I didn't lie."
Cui Yong hurriedly defended, and in his panic, he didn't even realize that he had let something slip.
"Niu Er and the others have already confessed."
After Chen Tang finished speaking, he stuffed the rag back into Cui Yong's mouth, stepped on the chair, and pulled out the long knife!
Blood spurted out and sprinkled on his face. Chen Tang didn't realize it. He aimed at Cui Yong's other leg and stabbed it hard!
Poof!
Instant success!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Cui Yong kept twitching in pain, the chair shook, his body tensed, and he raised his head desperately, and the veins on his neck were exposed.
"You don't have many chances. The next stab may not be where you want it to be."
Chen Tang took out the rag from Cui Yong's mouth again.
"I said, I said!"
This time, Cui Yong didn't dare to play any tricks.
In his eyes, Chen Tang's face splattered with blood, in the dim light, looked like a devil from hell!
Cui Yong recounted what happened before from beginning to end, which was similar to what Niu Er said.
Chen Tang said: "About your uncle and the county government office, tell me everything you know."
"I know, I know everything!"
Cui Yong nodded repeatedly and said: "My second uncle can only be regarded as a distant relative of mine, and the relationship is not close..."
Cui Yong told everything he knew about his second uncle's origins, martial arts skills, living habits, address and hobbies.
Even this man had a woman outside and told Chen Tang the address of the woman.
Cui Yong also revealed a lot of information about the county government.
"Brother Chen, please, let me go. I won't dare to provoke you again."
Cui Yong was really scared.
He has never experienced such a scene.
Blood continued to flow from the thigh wound, and it fell to the ground with a ticking sound.
It's as if it's right next to your ears, extremely clear!
If the wound was not treated, he would not be able to survive just from the blood loss.
"Let you go?"
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chen Da'an is doing his duty. He just wants to live a stable life. Which of you has let him go?"
Cui Yong said: "Your father died in the yamen. I was not the one who killed him. It was the death penalty ordered by the county yamen master..."
"Magistrate Sun?"
Chen Tang grinned and said, "I will find him. None of you can escape."
Seeing that his begging for mercy was unsuccessful, Cui Yong's heart became violent and he became fierce. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Tang, if you kill me, my second uncle will definitely avenge me!"
"Ah……"
Chen Tang chuckled and said, "I'm just a useless person with broken fascia all over my body. Who would think about my head?"
Cui Yong was stunned.
This sentence almost broke his last psychological defense.
"My second uncle, he is a ninth-grade warrior appointed by the imperial court, the master catcher of Changze County...He, he will definitely find the murderer, and he will definitely find you!"
"It would be easy for him to kill you, but you can't escape!"
Cui Yong spoke intermittently, his mind already a little blurry.
Chen Tang pointed the tip of the knife at Cui Yong's chest, slowly applied force, and at the same time leaned down and whispered in his ear: "I'll give you a ride first. It won't take long before your uncle will go down to accompany you. "
"puff!"
The tip of the knife pierced the chest.
"You walk slowly, and you can have company on the road to hell."
Chen Tang's voice, mixed with the oozing sound of the blade rubbing flesh and blood, seemed to come from the underworld.
Cui Yong heard it clearly.
He looked horrified, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to shout, but found that no sound could come out.
laugh……
He could clearly feel the cold blade slowly advancing in his chest!
His body would tremble with every inch he penetrated.
Until the scarlet tip of the knife pierced the vest and came out.
Cui Yong stopped twitching. He tilted his head and remained motionless. He was already dead.
Chen Tang took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair behind him. His face turned pale and he tried to calm down.
Killed three people in a row in one night.
It seemed like it took no effort, but it was a huge drain on his mental energy.
He was far less calm than he looked.
It wasn't until everything was over and the dust settled that his hands began to tremble.
This result was naturally what he had expected.
Either don't take action, swallow your anger, and live in peace.
If you want to take action, there will be no room for mercy!
Leaving him alive would only bring him endless trouble.
The whole process went smoothly, and he didn't even have to confront the three of them head-on.
Before going down the mountain, the mountain guest once said that when dealing with the guards in Changze County, it does not depend on your strength, but on whether you are ruthless enough.
He was right.
