Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Grave Village, Midnight.

A man in black sneaked into the graveyard at night with a knife, and he was so familiar that he went straight to the house of Village Chief Wei Huxiang. He observed on the roof for a while, and after confirming that there was no movement around him, he slowly lifted the roof tiles. The man in black cautiously looked inside, and saw a person in the room lying down in front of the bed and fell asleep. This person was Ye Hong who had promised to stay and take care of Wei Quan. Taking care of Wei Quan, he didn't go to sleep in other places. He lay beside Wei Quan's bed every day for the convenience of taking care of him.

And the small and mutilated body on the bed was Wei Quan with broken limbs. Before Ye Hong came, he had never slept peacefully for a day, and at night his whole body ached like a wraith, but since Ye Hong came to take care of him personally After him, he was able to fall asleep at night, and he never made such a ghostly hissing sound again.

Seeing that both of them were fast asleep, the man in black began to remove the roof tiles. When the tiles were moved enough to allow one person to enter the room, he flashed into the room with a knife in his hand, and was about to chop at them. Hearing an angry roar: "You son of a bitch, whoever dares to touch me!"

Before long, the door was pushed open, and someone threw a stick at the man in black.

The person who came was the village head, Wei Huxiang. Since Ye Hong came, he has been guarding outside the house of the two of them every day, just to prevent any accidents. Just when he heard some slight noises in the house, he poked his head towards the paper window. Look, he actually saw the man in black wanting to commit murder, so without even thinking about it, he cursed and broke in!

Village head Wei's yelling and cursing immediately alarmed the nearby villagers, and the loud voice of Lao Liu even yelled a lot. All the villagers lit up their lamps and got up to see what happened!

Seeing that the murder was revealed, the man in black did not run away. He kicked Village Chief Wei away, and then he raised his knife and slashed at the two people on the bed. Seeing this, Village Chief Wei threw himself on Ye Hong. The blade split his back open, and blood splashed all over the man in black. The moment the man in black wiped the blood from his eyes, Village Chief Wei cursed, turned around and stood up to grab the knife.

The man in black said angrily, "Don't come looking for death!"

Village head Wei pressed the man in black's knife with his hand, not caring that his own hand was cut, and said with a sneer, "Zheng Liang, don't think I don't know it's you if you cover your face. My villain, I already knew that I should be wary of you, even if I confess here today, I won’t let you hurt these two people!”

It turned out that the man in black was Zheng Liang, who was arresting the head. When he saw the fake Li Chengsi went to Wuhejiao to inform Shalin, after thinking about it, he felt that the threat of Ye Hong must be eradicated, so he came to assassinate in the dark. Thinking that this old man Wei had already spared him a long time ago.In the stalemate, Lao Liu led the villagers and ran in with all kinds of things in their hands.

At this time, Ye Hong and Wei Quan on the bed also woke up. Ye Hong looked at the scene in front of him in shock, completely unaware of what happened, and why the man in black wanted to kill him, but Wei Quan on the bed A little excited, but he couldn't speak, and the sound of whimpering made the dark night even weirder.

"Old man Wei, why are you pretending to be a nice guy? Ye Hong's death is good for you and me, don't you understand?" Seeing that everyone gathered around, Zheng Liang knew that there was no way to kill him now, so he could only stall for time.

"Fuck your shit, kill the two of them, and our entire village will be destroyed next. I have read the book, and I don't understand the truth? I have done so many things to keep the village, how could it be possible? Let you succeed?!"

"If Ye Hong regains his memory, your village and the people in our yamen will all die!" Zheng Liang pointed at the two of them and said, "If you don't kill them, they will kill us sooner or later!"

"I won't let them leave the grave village!" Wei Huxiang spat out a mouthful of blood, then grinned and smiled with bloody teeth, "No one can take them away, not even Lord Yan!"

"Okay, if you don't kill them, then I will start killing them in the village tonight, and I will let you see these old immortal villagers die in front of you!"

"Just because of you?!" The sixth child slashed at Zheng Liang with a kitchen knife, but Zheng Liang cut off the palm of his right hand with a backhand. The sixth child screamed in pain, and the old villagers behind him None of them was afraid, seeing that Zheng Liang had hurt the sixth child, they picked up all kinds of things in their hands and rushed towards Zheng Liang.

But Zheng Liang is an experienced headhunter after all, and it is more than enough to deal with these old men and women who have no actual combat experience. Seeing more and more villagers being slaughtered by Zheng Liang, there are a few children who came here for unknown reasons. When Zheng Liang got the relatives who had beheaded himself, he was so frightened that he burst into tears. Zheng Liang was so mad that he didn't even spare the children. Pushing out the door, he was scratched and scratched. Wei Huxiang, who was so excited that his eyes were red, grabbed the kitchen knife in the hand of the sixth brother on the ground, rushed to hug Zheng Liang's waist with all his strength, and pushed him out of the house , the two fell heavily on the steps outside, Zheng Liang was hit on the head by this sudden blow, seeing Wei Huxiang raised a knife with both hands to chop off his head...

After a while, a cold light flashed, and the knife in Wei Huxiang's hand was knocked out at once. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Liang kicked Wei Huxiang away fiercely. He knocked it down heavily, and he looked at the weapon that slammed on his knife in the distance. It was the sword he had seen a few days ago, the sword with the name of an ancient artifact—Ju Que.

And what knocked out Wei Huxiang's kitchen knife was an ordinary silver dart.

Zheng Liang was so frightened that he looked at the place where the sword flew, and said in disbelief, "You...how did you come back?"

Zhan Zhao seldom speaks coldly, but this time his tone was so cold that he could kill someone: "Captain Zheng, do you want to kill Ye Hong?"

Zheng Liang looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were walking towards him, his forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled: "Ye Hong shouldn't be alive, shouldn't... shouldn't..."

"Why shouldn't you be alive? If he's dead, then Mrs. Li and you, the counterfeit, can sit back and relax and continue your treachery?"

Zheng Liang raised his head instantly, his eyes full of fear after being exposed: "How do you know?"

Zhan Zhao ignored him, looked at the blood on the ground inside and outside the house, went straight to the room, and saluted Wei Quan and Ye Hong very respectfully and formally: "Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank guard with a knife in the Lower Kaifeng Mansion, has seen Li Cheng's heir, Master Li! Master Ye Hong Ye!"

Ye Hong stared blankly at Zhan Zhao, and then at Wei Quan who was on the bed. At this moment, his mind went blank.

After hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Wei Quan burst into sobs and burst into tears. There were no more tears in his empty eyes, only blood dripping on the bed sheet, as if he was writing his unwillingness with blood!

Now even the villagers in the tomb village panicked. Those villagers who were injured on the ground were so frightened that they wanted to stay away from Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, as if they were some scourge.

The sixth child with a broken palm looked at Zhan Zhao and swallowed: "You two kids, do you know?"

"Exactly, we also know all about the cause and effect of the Wuhe Sect, Tomb Village, and Mojiao County, including the fact that you repay your kindness, that the whole village tortured Lord Li Chengsi here, and then let someone impersonate you. "

The sixth man was stunned, and then he looked at Zhan Zhao and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, Old Wei, didn't you say that there is no good official in the world? Didn't you say that no one will make decisions for us? Are you open?" Open your eyes and see!"

The sixth child suddenly burst into tears with a smile: "Look, it's not that there are no good officials in this world, it's just that we met too late...too late!"

Wei Huxiang didn't speak.

The sixth child cried with snot and tears: "It's too late, it's too late, you came too late... If you came earlier, earlier..."

"Stop talking!" Wei Huxiang roared, "Everything is my fault. The villagers in the grave village were threatened by me. They are not at fault. Now that you know the truth, you can kill me alone. head!"

"Village chief, what are you talking about? Didn't we all agree at the beginning that we should bear this crime together?" The sixth child wiped away his tears, "It's what you said, 'the law does not punish the public', you said, or It's all right, we have to die together, now you say to behead yourself alone, do you, old Wei, want to be a hero yourself?"

"Yes, the village chief, if you die, we will accompany you together!"

"Yes, with you! Our whole village is with you!"

……

"In order to help you, Mr. Li and Mr. Ye did not sacrifice their lives to enter the Wuhe Sect to save your relatives. Isn't such a person a good official?"

Wei Huxiang's face turned pale outside the door, and he snorted self-deprecatingly: "So what, he's just a newly appointed Zhima official, I've seen so many county magistrates, which one didn't say at the beginning that he wanted to plead for the people, Do something big? As a result, it didn’t take long for him to become a softie who only knows how to drink and socialize, and what he said at the beginning was just bullshit, who would take us ordinary people seriously?”

"So far, you still don't know how to repent?"

"Regret?" Wei Huxiang wanted to laugh, but the pain in the wound made his expression hideous, like laughing and crying, "Even if I do it again, I won't change! Preserving the rise and fall of the world, and the righteousness of the family and the country, I am just a small village chief. I don’t want to do anything else, I just want everyone in the village to live in peace, to have food when they are hungry, and to go home when they are tired! "

"When the young people in the village were deceived, I also persuaded them. They thought I was old-fashioned, and laughed at me for being old-fashioned, saying that I wanted to go out for a break. They were right. I am indeed old. They are young. They should be stuck in this small village for the rest of their lives just like us old people, so I told them, let’s go out and have a good time. They're open."

"But no one has ever come back, none of those children came back." Wei Huxiang stared into the distance with dull eyes, "We searched everywhere, but there was no news, so we reported to the official, but the county magistrate at that time Not doing anything, not taking us seriously at all, always perfunctory, we wait and wait, wait and wait, until the new county magistrate arrives, this new magistrate is high-spirited and full of ambition, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers Pianpian young man, after knowing about us, he will report to the imperial court and let the superiors send people to investigate. At first we thought it would be different, but we waited and waited, waited and waited, there is no such thing as superiors Come and investigate, he also lied to us!"

"Lord Li has never lied to you!" Zhan Zhao interrupted Wei Huxiang, "I looked through the county government's file, and he did reflect exactly what happened to you, but I don't know why. , the letter that was handed over did not enter the capital, and the capital does not know what happened in the grave village..."

Wei Huxiang shook his head: "The big officials oppress the small officials, and the small officials bully the people. In the end, nothing can be changed. He is just a pitiful person."
