I see the snow

Hou Shang was tied up and thrown back into his shack.

A pile of messy and dirty rags, Houshang, with such a tall and stout figure, was crumpled when thrown in.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Yinzhichuan looked at him condescendingly, while rubbing the bones of his hands that were sore from turning the fan just now, "I suggest you tell yourself, otherwise I will start to fight, and I will be very tired from beating people."

Hou Shang looked at him sullenly, and spat on the ground.

Yin Zhichuan followed his word, so Hou Shang immediately experienced his tired way of beating people.

"After digging other people's graves, why are you pretending to be a tough guy!?"

After finishing his work, Yin Zhichuan pinched Hou Shang's cheeks, looked around, and threw him on the ground: "You bastard."

"Asshole?"

Hou Shang's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he still gritted his teeth and spat with blood in his mouth, "You're an idiot."

Yin Zhichuan laughed angrily at him, and patted Hou Shang on the cheek:

"Come on, tell me, what are we doing?"

Hou still didn't speak, just smiled viciously.

Yin Zhichuan was furious seeing him like this.

But Xi Huai was still by his side, Yin Zhichuan didn't want Xi Huai to see something too bloody.He just slapped Hou Shang twice:

"This time, it was because you were so daring yesterday and asked my people to laugh at you. This time, it was because you thought it was too long and dared to plot against his agency just now. Remember? You are not wronged."

Hou Shang's knee was still bleeding, Yin Zhichuan's two slaps made him unable to get up even more, his face was swollen like a pig's head.

"You go out first."

Yinzhichuan said: "I'll call you in after he releases him."

The words were addressed to Xi Huai, Xi Huai heard it, but didn't move for a while.

He is not a soft-hearted person, but he is afraid that Yin Zhichuan's impulsiveness will cut off the clues.

"Don't beat him to death."

So after thinking about it, he added, "You have to take a breath."

Hou Shang looked at such a person who came out of the world yesterday in a cold manner, handsome and indifferent as if he was a banished immortal, and thought that he would not be able to bear to speak for him.After hearing what Qing Xihuai said, he almost lost his breath immediately.

Totally disappointed in this world.

Xi Huai stepped back and closed the door, completely separating the muffled sounds of punching and kicking inside from the outside.

The wilderness was in a mess, and outside the door of the house were scattered wooden thorns, mud and broken arrows.

Xi Huai gently kicked the debris away, and walked towards the back of the door.

Just now he noticed that behind Hou Shang's shack, there was a tomb post without engraving.

The tombstone is still very new, and there are no weeds on the top of the grave, as if it has been carefully cared for.

Xi Huai lightly brushed the bluestone bricks of the tomb post, and found that the melons and fruits offered in front of the tomb were also fresh, and some incense candles had not even been extinguished.

Near the bottom of the inscription, there is a very clean flower with dew.

……why?

Xi Huai frowned slowly, was the person buried here a special person to Hou Shang?

After a closer look, Xi Huai found a very familiar object beside the tomb.

A lake-blue cloth bag decorated with white florals.

……

Yinzhichuan's interrogation of people is not that kind of pure violence.

He looked down at Hou Shang's distressed appearance for a while, and then took out two dice from his arms.

He held the dice in his hands and tossed them up and down, the wheel spinning in circles between his fingers.

"Yesterday, I said I would bet with you again."

After a while, Yin Zhichuan said: "In case you say that I have not kept my word, why, let's play again?"

Hou Shang stared at him like a vengeful wolf, Yin Zhichuan didn't like this look, so he went up to lift his foot and gave him another slap.

"Be honest."

Seventh Young Master said kindly: "I have a good temper, but occasionally I can be very irritable."

Hou Shang: "..."

His nose was already bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked really inappropriate to be beaten again.Maybe I can't stand it, it really passed.

So Yin Zhichuan sat cross-legged across from Hou Shang, and asked him, "Big and small?"

Hou Shang's hut was terribly dilapidated, and only a chipped bowl was barely usable.

Yinzhichuan clicked his tongue, held the dice with a bowl, and shook it symbolically twice: "I let you, you choose the one and the rest is mine. Hurry up, don't dawdle."

It stands to reason that the owner and the gambler cannot be the same person, but since there are only two of them in this room, they have to make do with it.

Hou Shang didn't want to answer at first, but thinking about what happened just now, he finally remembered a little bit.

Feeling bored, she still replied, "Small."

"You are really persistent."

Yin Zhichuan was delighted: "No matter how bad the loss is, I'm still so persistent in buying small."

Hou Shang glared at him: "I want you to take care of it."

"Don't worry about it, I'm too lazy to care about it."

Yin Zhichuan said slowly: "Do you think you are some kind of beauty that can overwhelm the world? Without that kind of demeanor, you are not even qualified to be glanced at by me."

Hou Shang: "..."

"Okay, let's open the cup."

Yin Zhichuan shook twice, and Tong Houshang said: "You have witnessed this with your own eyes. It is fair and just, and there is no deceit. No matter whether you win or lose, you are not allowed to play tricks."

Hou Shang's current situation can't be fooled.Compared to him, he might as well be more worried about Yin Zhichuan, who is so carefree——

Maybe as soon as he opened the cup, he put the dice that showed "small" into "big" in front of Hou Shang, and Hou Shang didn't say anything about his injustice.

However, when Yin Zhichuan slowly opened the bowl with the gap, Hou Shang stared at the gap that was getting bigger and bigger, and still stared straight:

Still "big".

Yin Zhichuan laughed out loud, almost slapping his legs with joy: "It seems that you are really unlucky."

He said: "What kind of luck is this? Every time the God of Gamblers will fight against you."

Before Hou could say anything, Yin Zhichuan walked over and grabbed his arm directly.While pulling and pulling, he said:

"Which hand is this? Which hand did you bet on yesterday? . . . "

It seems that they really have to wait for Shang's hand as a winning capital.

Hou Shang's face turned blue, his body froze and he couldn't move, but suddenly, he heard a clear "click".

He thought it was Yin Zhichuan who had made a move, his muscles tensed instantly, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, waiting for the slow sharp pain.

But after waiting for a long time, the pain he imagined did not hit, instead, the blood that had been frozen for a long time lightened slightly——

The shackles that had been tied to my arms for a long time disappeared.

"Do you think gambling is fair?"

Looking up again, Yin Zhichuan was already back in front of him, cynically playing with the dice on hand.

"Here."

The dandy major general looked sideways at him, shaking the dice lightly.The porcelain surface in the bowl collided with the dice, making a slight sound.

However, Yin Zhichuan didn't even look at him, he just looked at Hou Shang, without squinting, and said:

"Big."

Hou Shang looked down and saw that the three dice in the bowl were really big.

"..."

Yin Zhichuan smiled indifferently, and shook it a couple more times. This time, he also didn't look at it, and only listened and said:

"Small."

Hou Shang: "..."

Still right.

"I've been playing dice for a long time, and I can tell the size just by listening to the sound."

Yinzhichuan sighed, and said nonchalantly, "It's just that money is piled up. You have to lose many times before you understand the mystery. You, a grave guard, do such wicked things and take money from dead people. Going to gamble, I really don't know the importance of it."

There are some truths in this world, which are true, but cruel to terrible.

For example, in gambling, for the rich, the gambling chips in the gambling house are just a little money they reward their servants, and it doesn't matter if they win or lose.They have enough chances of trial and error to turn themselves into good players at dice, and then they can win a hundred times.

But for ordinary people, the smallest bargaining chip may be their daily meal money.Once you lose, you will worry about it, and want to gamble again and win it back.

But this kind of irrational betting happens to be the deadliest in gambling.They lost more and more, and lost more and more impatiently, until finally they went bankrupt.

Yin Zhichuan was born in a wealthy family, sometimes when he passed by a dark alley and looked at the poor and sick people inside, he would faintly realize one thing:

There are people in this world who are different from him.

They don't have the trial and error capital like him, and they don't have the background of his life experience. They walk on the tightrope above the abyss, and if they make a mistake, they will be lost forever.

And he can't change anything except watching.

"Would you like to try?"

Seeing Hou Shang staring at him without moving, Yin Zhichuan sighed, and handed over the porcelain bowl: "Shake it as you please, and see if I can really hear the numbers of the dice."

However, Hou Shang still didn't answer, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Who are you?"

"You...didn't you kill those people?"

Yinzhichuan: "..."

Yinzhichuan: "Huh?"

……

It was half a year ago that Hou Shang first discovered the gold plants in the corpse.

"The tomb I'm guarding is the closest to Hoshino Capital."

Hou Shang was untied, leaned against the corner, and said in a low voice: "So if there are any servants who died in the noble families of the princes and grandchildren in the city, they will be sent to me for burial."

This was originally a good job, because the nobles, after all, were used to being generous, and sometimes the resettlement fee for the servants would be quite a fortune.

Hou Shang relies on these resettlement fees, although he will not become rich, but it is barely enough to live by.

"But since you started looking at the tomb, have you had the habit of following the corpse's belongings?"

Listening to Hou Shang's words, Yin Zhichuan couldn't help interrupting him, having doubts about how Hou Shang found out that there was a golden plant in the corpse.

"Yes!"

Hou Shang didn't shy away from it at all, and responded viciously, saying: "I want to save money, and my hands are also very dirty!"

"..."

Yin Zhichuan couldn't help but slander: You have to save money, why bother to spend all the money you have saved so hard to lose in the gambling house.

"I get money from people in the palace, from family members of the dead, and from corpses!"

Hou Shang gritted his teeth hard, his cheeks puffed up, showing a ferocious expression: "Because this is the way of the world! Everyone eats meat and drinks blood, if you don't drink, you will be trampled under his feet!"

Yinzhichuan: "..."

"All right. Go on."

Yin Zhichuan waved his hands helplessly, motioning for Hou Shang to continue, temporarily suppressing what he wanted to say: "Then how did you find out that the cause of death of these corpses is wrong?"

"Because during that time, there were a lot of servants sent from the city to be buried."

Hou Shang's eyes flickered for a moment, as if lost in memory, he said intently: "In the past three days, only ten were sent, but in those days, more than 50 were sent in three days. Every one...is a woman."

This was originally a good thing for Hou Shang.

Because the more people died, the more resettlement fees he got, not to mention the more delicate care of women, and he could always get a lot of good things from him.

In other mass graves, there are even tomb guards praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, asking Bodhisattvas to show their spirits, and send more dead women over recently.

But Hou Shang fell into eternal despair after a short period of joy——

Because he found his childhood sweetheart among the corpses sent in.

When this matter is brought up now, the hulking man's eyes are still confused, as if he can't accept such a fact.

He repeatedly rubbed his fingers, lowered his head and muttered:

"I don't know how this happened."

"I don't know how it happened... I was so unconscionable about getting money, I just wanted...to save enough money earlier and marry her."

He looked at his fingers in a murmur, and looked up at Yinzhichuan: "But how could it be...she's dead."

"...the money I got without conscience...is useless."
