Chapter 12: The First Brother

"What do you want to do?"

Zhou Liang found that Su Dawei's eyes were not quite right.

He looked at himself with a blazing gaze, with a hint of encouragement and expectation, and with his honest smile, it was difficult to refuse.

"Second brother, have you noticed?"

"Notice what?"

According to this mark left by Jin Wuwei's painting, after Wei Shuai died, his legs were together, one hand holding a knife, and the other hand was outstretched...... Don't you think Wei Shuai's action is a bit weird? He seems to be trying to tell us something. ”

"No, I don't find it weird at all."

Zhou Liang replied categorically, without the slightest hesitation.

"If Wei Shuai leaves any mark, Jin Wuwei will definitely tell us.

Ami, I'm a little hungry. Why don't we go eat? Aren't you your favorite of the turtle barbecue in Nishichi? I'm in for a treat, how's that. ”

Su Dawei smiled even brighter.

The desire to survive is strong, but it's a pity......

"I think Wei Shuai must have his intentions when he made this move."

With that, Su Dawei walked to the side of the ditch and slowly squatted down.

"You see, Wei Shuai stretched out his hand like this, obviously wanting to ......"

He made a gesture of the thing, then reached to the edge of the gutter and opened his palm.

"Look, doesn't this look like a palm print?"

When Zhou Liang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully looked at the ditch.

There is indeed a palm print, and if you don't look for it carefully, you may not be able to find it.

He looked at Su Dawei, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your face is so ugly, don't mess around, let me go down." ”

After speaking, Zhou Liang jumped into the ditch.

The ditches on both sides of Chang'an Avenue are actually sewage canals.

A lot of domestic sewage flows into the ditch from the city, and then discharges through the ditch to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of Chang'an. In this ditch, the domestic sewage of nearly one million people in Chang'an gathers the entire Chang'an, and the smell can be imagined.

Speaking from the heart, no one wants to jump in if they don't have to.

Zhou Liang deserves to be a good brother, and when he saw that Su Dawei wanted to jump into the ditch, he hurriedly stopped him and jumped in himself.

The pungent and strong smell came in, making Zhou Liang almost vomit.

He covered his mouth and nose with one hand, rummaged in the ditch with the other, and cursed in his mouth: "Ami, if you hadn't saved me when I was a child, Lao Tzu would never have cared about you." What kind of sin have I created, it is really unfortunate to have such a brother as you.

Huh......"

His complaint came to an abrupt end.

Su Dawei's face suddenly showed joy, and he asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Looks like there's a box."

Zhou Liang said, escaping a wooden box from the sewage.

Not this one!

Su Dawei said: "This seems to be ...... Is it a jewelry box?

Wei Shuai is not a girl, so it shouldn't be his belongings. Besides, if it's a jewelry box, he doesn't have to throw it into the gutter. ”

"I'll look for it again."

When you think about it, it seems to make sense.

Anyway, I've already jumped in, so I'm not in a hurry for a while.

Zhou Liang continued to touch the edge of the ditch, and suddenly frowned, and found an oiled paper bag from inside.

"What is this?"

He glanced at it, raised his hand and threw it back into the ditch.

But Su Dawei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

"What's there to see about this?"

"Now that you've taken it out, let's take a look at it first."

Su Dawei said, pulled out a sheep's horn dagger from his waist, and turned the oiled paper bag over.

The oiled paper package adopts a four-sided seal, and at the seal, there is also fire paint.

The pattern of fire lacquer is in the shape of a knife. It can be seen that the folding technique of this oil paper bag is very ingenious, which can ensure that the items inside will not be soaked. The shape and size are very similar to what Wei Shan threw into the ditch.

It should be!

Su Dawei said: "Second brother, do you recognize what kind of mark this is?" ”

Zhou Liang crawled out of the ditch, and the smell of the stinky ditch came to his face.

He squatted down, looked at it twice, and then shook his head and said, "I've never seen this mark, I've never seen it." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Dawei.

"Are you sure this is what you're looking for?"

"It should be, right."

"How do you know?"

"I ......"

Su Dawei was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Su Dawei, Zhou Liang, what are you doing?" ”

The two looked up and saw Jiang Maha with dozens of bad people, turning around from Jingyaomen Street.

Zhou Liang was just about to answer, but he noticed Su Dawei gently tugging on his sleeve.

"Jiang Shuai, didn't you let us investigate?"

A sound of Jiang Shuai made Jiang Maha, who was originally unhappy because of losing money yesterday, suddenly feel like drinking a bowl of ice water on dog days.

The originally gloomy face showed a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, deputy, I'm the deputy marshal.

Wei Shuai has encountered an accident and has not yet found the murderer, so Su Da should not shout nonsense for you, so as not to be heard and misunderstood. ”

After speaking, his gaze swept over the two of them.

"What did you find?"

"Nope."

"Tuesday, you're ......"

"Oh, the second brother felt that Jiang Shuai asked us to investigate the scene, and there must be no negligence, so I jumped into the ditch just now to see if I found anything. As a result, the inside of this gutter ...... It's all rubbish, nothing. ”

A group of bad people looked at Zhou Liang with a look like a fool.

Zhou Liang had the heart to kill Su Dawei at this time, but he still had a respectful look on his face.

"Zhou Liang, you are really ......"

Jiang Maha pointed at Zhou Liang, and wanted to mock him.

But for some reason, when these words came to his lips, he changed his mind again.

"You are really sincere, this kind of thing, go to Jiahui Fang to find a shopkeeper and do it, why do you have to experience it yourself? You're a bad person, not a miscellaneous man. If you don't find it, forget it, hurry up and go back and wash it, this smell! ”

He also wanted to pat Zhou Liang, but in the end he didn't give up.

There's no way, the smell of Zhou Liang is too tasteful......

"By the way, the two of you will go to Wei Shuai's house later, and send the money over, which is the intention of our brothers."

Jiang Maha untied a bag from his waist and handed it to Su Dawei.

"In my opinion, it must have been done by Wei Shuai's enemies, otherwise it would not have disemboweled Wei Shuai.

Ordinary people, how can there be such a big hatred? Zhou Liang, do you say? ”

Zhou Liang was in a daze at this moment, and instinctively replied: "Jiang Shuai is right. ”

"Alright, when you're done, go back.

Tomorrow morning, I will go to the yamen to order something, according to the old rules. By the way, I remember Zhou Liang you are literate, right? ”

"I studied for a few days when I was a kid."

"That's good, sort out the cases that Wei Shuai has handled before and see if you can find clues."

"Yes."

In the past, when Jiang Maha saw Zhou Liang, it was long on Tuesday and short on Tuesday.

The sudden change in attitude made Zhou Liang a little overwhelmed, so he looked very panicked.

The more he was like this, the more satisfied Jiang Maha became.

On the way back to the county office, he said to the bad people around him: "They all said that those two on Tuesday were ignorant and looked down on me, and they didn't necessarily." In my opinion, both of them are honest people, and they don't know what happened, don't you say? ”

"Deputy marshal, I don't think so."

"You may not be tall, Lao Tzu asked you to investigate the scene, will you jump into the ditch?"

"This ......"

"I know how to cheat and play tricks on weekdays, and in the future, learn from Zhou Liang and Su Dawei, do things in a down-to-earth manner, don't just talk about it."

Jiang Maha looked at the bad person who answered the call, how uncomfortable he looked.

I used to think that Zhou Liang and the two people were ignorant, but now it seems that the ignorant person is this guy.

Zhou Liang and Su Dawei both respect Lao Tzu as 'Jiang Shuai', and you are still a deputy marshal? Sooner or later, I want you to look good.

"Just now, what's going on?"

It wasn't until Jiang Maha and the others left that Zhou Liang reacted.

Su Dawei kicked the jewelry box into the ditch again, then found a rope and wrapped the oiled paper.

"What's the situation? Jiang Maha praised us. ”

"He ......"

"Second brother, that guy is greedy, but it's not difficult to deal with.

Wei Shuai is dead, and someone must replace him. Let's take the initiative now, and when he takes the position in the future, life will be better. When he takes the position, we don't have to get too close to him. You see there are a lot of people around him, but there must always be someone to help him, right? At that time, the second brother, you may be able to take the opportunity to go further, what do you say? ”

"I ......"

Zhou Liang was still a little dazed at this moment, but he finally came to his senses.

He suddenly smiled and said, "If that's the case, it won't be in vain to jump into the ditch." ”

"Let's go, find a place to clean, this smell on your body is really delicious."

Su Dawei said, pulled his legs and left.

Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

He followed behind Su Dawei and walked into Jiahuifang.

Looking at Su Dawei's back, Zhou Liang's gaze suddenly became a little complicated and a little weird.

"Ami?"

Su Dawei stopped, turned around and said, "Second brother, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Liang stared at Su Dawei's eyes, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Ami, we will always be good brothers, right?" ”

Hearing this, Su Dawei's smile gradually faded.

In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, the news of Su Saburo's death was transmitted back to Chang'an.

Su Dawei, who was only 14 years old at the time, was very sad when he heard the news of his father's death.

He sat alone at the bridge of Chongde Fang and secretly wept, but he didn't expect to be seen by Zhou Liang, who had just entered the yamen at that time and became a bad person. Zhou Liang sat at the head of the bridge with him until dark. At that time, Zhou Liang said to him: Ami, although your uncle is gone, you still have your aunt and me...... We are brothers, whoever dares to bully you, I will beat him.

"Second brother, we will always be good brothers, right?"

Zhou Liang smiled and slammed Su Dawei's head with his fist......

Su Dawei looked at Zhou Liang, walked up to him, clenched his fists, and ravaged his head.

Zhou Liang was not angry, Su Dawei's move made him breathe a sigh of relief, and scolded: "Get out...... If you're taller than me, you want to rebel? I'm telling you, be careful, don't get too complacent. ”

Su Dawei laughed, turned around and left.

As he walked, he let out a deep sigh of relief.

I knew that sooner or later there would be a flaw...... Fortunately, I have the memory of Ami, otherwise I would have been exposed just now!
