Chapter 19: Be a good person in the next life
Xi Xingchen never dreamed that the case of Yang Xiaojin's family was essentially a simple case of a rich and powerful landowner bullying a man and a woman. The victims, suspects, and accomplices were all in place, and the witness and physical evidence could form a closed loop and context. It is clear, the evidence is clear, as long as the county magistrate is not too stupid, it should not be difficult to seek justice for Yang Xuelian's family.
But such a simple case actually brought disaster to the family of Dong Liangce, the person who handled the case.
Xi Xingchen felt guilty about Dong Liangce. If it weren't for his persistence, Dong Liangce would have taken Yang Sansong's confession back to the county government after registering it in Yangjiacun, and would have continued to be the father of his children, the son of his parents, and the husband of his wife.
But all this was due to Xi Xingchen's curiosity, and for the Tao he insisted on, he ended up risking the lives of his entire family.
If all this could happen again, even if Xi Xingchen died ten thousand times, he would not let Dong Liangce touch Yao Wenbin.
As a disciple of Juzi and Nanmo who travels all over the world, Xi Xingchen has at least ten ways to bring justice to the Yang Xiaojin family as long as he uses the resources at hand.
But the most meaningless thing in the world is what if. Just when Xi Xingchen was feeling extremely guilty, the masked man who was nailed to the wall woke up leisurely and shouted to Xi Xingchen: "Hey, kid, don't be there. Come on, if you have the guts, pull out the knife for me and give me a good time!"
Xi Xingchen's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the shout.
When fighting four masked men, Xi Xingchen was worried about the safety of Dong Liangce's family, so he struck quickly and ruthlessly. After killing the four masked men, he realized that he had forgotten to leave any one alive.
Xi Xingchen quickly walked up to the masked man and pulled off his mask, revealing a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face.
"You are dead, but if you want to suffer less before you die, tell me who sent you here?" Xi Xingchen said expressionlessly.
Scar raised his head, wiped away the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, looked at Xi Xingchen fiercely, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a evil smile: "Don't you know who you have offended?"
"Are you sent by Yao Wenbin?" Xi Xingchen asked.
In fact, this is nonsense.
Xi Xingchen and Dong Liangce had just sent Yao Wenbin to prison when a killer came to kill him, and they knew what was going on.
But it's one thing to know it in your heart, and it's another thing to say it with the murderer's own mouth.
Xi Xingchen asked Scar to tell him the name himself.
"Knowingly asking!" A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from Dao Scar's mouth. Perhaps the blood spurting action affected the wound. The veins on his forehead were swollen. He kept breathing heavily, and his mouth was full of blood foam.
But Scar was also a ruthless person. He looked down at the steel knife on his chest, raised his hands and pushed against the wall, trying to pull the steel knife out of the wall. However, he was bleeding too much, and all his strength could only support it. He put his hands on the wall.
Scar pushed hard, but the steel knife stuck in the wall didn't move at all. He tried to push on the wall with his feet to gain strength, but found that he had completely lost consciousness below his chest.
After several failed attempts, Scar finally knew that he really couldn't survive.
Since ancient times, the only difficulty is death. This is how people are. While they are still alive, they may be very afraid of death, but when that moment really comes, they become calmer.
"Boy, judging from your accent, you are from outside, right?" Scar raised his head and asked Xi Xingchen.
"Does it matter?" Xi Xingchen asked.
Scar nodded: "That's right. In Wan County, everyone knows that they would rather offend the county magistrate than the Yao family. Only you guys from outside, who don't know the heights of the world, dare to take the young master of the Yao family as the head of the family. Tied up."
"It's just a matter of being tied up, but you still dare to send me to the official? Do you really don't know where the Yamen opens?"
Speaking of this, Scar's eyes showed a fierce light, and he smiled ferociously at Xi Xingchen and said: "Young boy from outside, I can tell you responsibly that if you offend the Yao family in Wan County, you will be killed, and you will die without a complete body." .”
Xi Xingchen sneered and said calmly: "I don't need to worry about how I died. But you, your blood is almost dry. If you have any last wishes, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
After a pause, Xi Xingchen stared into Scar's eyes and said word by word: "The Yao family will not let me go, and I will not let go of the Yao family either. Whoever wins will have his destiny."
When Scar heard this, he immediately showed a strange madness and laughed loudly: "Boy, since you are so smart, let me tell you another good news. The woman from the Yang family will not survive tonight. Are you going to do it for them? Do you want the family to stand out? Then go and die now, and when you go to the underworld, the two of you will have a companion."
Xi Xingchen's expression changed when Scar mentioned Yang Xuelian, and he suddenly remembered that Yang Xuelian was still in the yamen, so he stopped talking nonsense to Scar and turned around and walked out.
"Hey, foreign boy, help me pull out the knife!" Scar suddenly became anxious when he saw Xi Xingchen walking away so neatly.
The purpose of what Scar said before was to anger Xi Xingchen and make him seek revenge on Yao Wenbin. He wanted to use Yao Wenbin's hand to get rid of Xi Xingchen and avenge himself.
At the same time, Scar also hoped that Xi Xingchen would pull out the knife nailed to his back in anger and get rid of the painful death of watching his blood drain away bit by bit.
What Scar didn't expect was that Xi Xingchen would leave so simply, as if he was in a hurry to die.
Could Xi Xingchen really not understand the meaning of Scar's words?
of course not!
There are some things that you must do even though you know you can't do them.
This Scar will never understand, and even if I tell him, he won't believe it.
So Xi Xingchen walked out of the door without looking back: "That's it. If there is an afterlife, remember today's fate and be a good person in the next life."
Scar was furious when he heard this, and roared at Xi Xingchen's back: "Boy, listen to me, I'm waiting for you in front."
A desperado like Scar would never understand why he wanted to be a good person even if he wanted to die.
After walking out of Dong's house, Xi Xingchen started running, faster and faster.
At this time, the night seemed to be getting darker, but Xi Xingchen knew very well that this was just the darkness before dawn. As long as he could survive it, light would come.
On the way back to Dong's house with Dong Liangce after finishing his errand, Xi Xingchen felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where the mistake was.
Now that I think about it, the problem is that the process of taking Yao Wenbin and his entourage back to Wan County Prison to be imprisoned was too smooth. As a famous landowner and gentry in Wan County, how could the Yao family have nothing to do with the county government?
