The thief paused, his breathing seemed to be shorter than before, the green tendons on his forehead were heaving, and his face was a little different. The four people next to them sat quietly in groups, still listening attentively.

After a while, the man said, "Zhang Shaozhen and I were originally husband and wife. When I got married, my family was still well-off, who would have thought that there would be unforeseen circumstances. After only two years of happy life, the two of us suffered another fire at home because of excessive expenditure, and the family fortune has plummeted to the point where we can't open the pot. But I've been reading for a few years, and I still have some means to make a living. Therefore, it was considered to my wife that although we were a little poorer for a while, the necessary food and clothing were always a big problem. Who knew that Shaozhen was used to enjoying it, and he was a little unwilling to be poor. And at this time, Wei Ximai, who had a face vest, had bad intentions. ”

"This Wesimai is nominally my friend, but he has ill intentions. His family is rich, and he was born with a face that seduces women. Shaozhen can't bear to be poor, so when they don't see each other, they do good things! One day, Shaozhen took all her things and never returned. I knew that this must be the temptation of Wei Ximai, and I was about to go to the official mansion to sue the abducted wife surnamed Wei. Unexpectedly, the next day, the teacher Yin Beishan brought a letter, claiming that Shaozhen had asked me to write a letter of resignation because of my abuse, and that he would also ask me for compensation. Of course, this kind of false accusation cannot be established. It's a pity that the yamen rushed to the south to open, and there was no reason to come in. The surname Wei is rich, and there is a teaching gentleman Yin Beishan who gives him ideas, and there are some silver up and down, so I naturally can't win this lawsuit! Master Nie, I have always heard of your name, and I know that you pay attention to justice and justice. But what do you think I can do about it? appeal, asking for money; up and down, asking for money; I don't have any money, what can I do? Lord Nie, I was almost going crazy at that time! I couldn't figure it out for a while, and I even planned to kill myself! ”

When he said this, his face turned pale and his eyebrows were tightly locked. His body seemed to be straightened, but it didn't work, and his waist was still a little bent. His right hand was also pressed on his lower abdomen. Jing Mo didn't feel strange, thinking that there must be something uncomfortable in his body.

Or he brought up the frustrated heart, and the stimulation was too strong, so he was in this state. Although Wang Chaozong and Zhao Leji were still silent, their expressions seemed to be a little affected. Nie Xiaoman had been listening to the man very quietly, but he kept looking at his face with his eyes.

Nie Xiaoman seemed to think of something and asked, "Why are you like this?" Do you feel pain in your abdomen? Aren't you already ——?

The man quickly shook his left hand wildly for a while, and said, "Don't ask more, my work is almost over." I will tell you now about the two cases that I have personally committed. Although I had suicidal thoughts at first, I thought about it later, I died in silence like this, and it was really in vain; Not only did it fulfill this pair of dog men and women, but other people knew about it and said that I was useless waste. Therefore, I decided to kill these men first, and then die. In this way, not only can I avenge my personal vendetta, but I can also make those who are just as aggrieved and hated as me angry! ”

"The two dogs and men I got went to Hangzhou to find happiness, and they didn't come back until seven or eight days ago. I inquired again and found out that after they came back, they would go to Changchun Opera Garden every night. I'm going to do it, it couldn't be easier. ”

"As soon as I thought of that odious Yin Beishan, I intend to set an example for him, and to serve as a warning to the gentlemen who are usually good at giving bad ideas to others. The status of teachers is very noble, and their vocation is to persuade people to be good, especially when they read the teachings of saints every day, and they should have benevolence and righteousness in their hearts. But people like Yin Beishan only have money in their eyes, where is there heavenly reason? Can you still talk about etiquette and shame? This kind of person really shouldn't let him stay in the world and do that hurtful thing! I found out where he was going to watch a play every night, and when he got home, it was about three o'clock in the morning. I decided to punish him first, and then settle accounts with the dog man and woman. I sold my leather robe, managed to get my hands on this short knife, and went to the Northern Patriarch's Nunnery last night to wait.

"I waited for about the hour, and sure enough, I saw Yin Beishan coming back from outside. At that time, because there was a neighbor next door, Luo Langzhong, and two palanquin drivers who never walked away, I had some scruples, so I didn't dare to take the liberty of doing it. Later, I heard Na Lang Zhong shouting to the sedan chair man. I think if I wait for this Lang Zhong to go far away and then do it, Yin Beishan will flee into the house early, and the time is too late. So I stabbed it in a hurry, and then fled eastward. I ran to the corner and collided with a man. I was taken aback, but fortunately the man was unsteady on his feet, fell to the ground, and I escaped. I took advantage of this opportunity and immediately rushed to Changchun Theater, and ended up with the adulterer and adulteress. ”

"When I arrived at Changchun Theater, I also bought a box ticket, went upstairs, saw the seats of the two people, and quietly entered. It's strange to say, I turned out that these two people only said a word before and after, which is really a happy revenge! I had achieved my goal, so I calmly walked downstairs, taking advantage of the confusion of the spectators, and calmly came out, there was one person blocking my way. I was so proud that when I walked out of the theater door, I almost burst out laughing! I was going to die, and even if someone caught me on the spot, I wouldn't resist. So I slowly returned home, and I was still safe and sound all the way. I slept very comfortably in my bed that night, and for the first time in a month, I slept peacefully! ”

"I woke up this morning, in a daze, not knowing what to do with my own life. Suddenly, I changed my mind and wanted to escape to the ends of the earth to live another life. And for some reason, I suddenly wanted to go back to the place where I had killed someone and relive the thrill of revenge. However, when I walked around the North Patriarch's Nunnery, I couldn't help but be surprised, and I felt very sorry. It turned out that the one who died last night was Lang Zhong named Luo Guanmiao, not that Yin Beishan!

"I realized that I had killed someone by mistake in the rush of last night, when it was so dark. At that time, the two of them were standing side by side, and when I turned out from behind the tree, I didn't realize that Na Lang Zhong had changed his position to the left and right in order to call the sedan chair, so I killed that Lang Zhong by mistake. I was in a hurry to escape, so I didn't know it. I hesitated for a long time because of this. Later, I made up my mind that if I didn't get rid of this wicked man, I really couldn't be at ease in my heart. So tonight, I decided to take another risk. Therefore I put on black robes and black robes, and I went to his house to wait. I saw his shadow from the window, and he was reading something inside, unguarded, so I deceived the door and immediately rushed in and killed him. Now that my purpose has been achieved, I can turn a blind eye even if I die. But my death should be of my own accord. I have not sinned in conscience, and therefore I should not die under the law. ”

At this point, his breathing suddenly became rapid, as if he were pulling a bellows, and the expression on his face was lost. His voice was particularly low in his last few words, his body was more and more bent, his eyes seemed to freeze, his face became more and more gray, his eyelids could not be raised, and there was not a trace of blood on his lips.

Wang Chaozong was shocked and said: "I look at his appearance, could it be that he ate some poison when he was robbed just now?" He jumped as he spoke.

Nie Xiaoman also stood up and nodded: "Exactly, he must have taken poison." I don't think it's too late to save the mile. He walked over to the man and watched.

Wang Chaozong also came to the man and asked, "Hey, what's your name?" You haven't said that yet. ”

However, the sparkle in the murderer's eyes darkened little by little, and he gasped briefly. He finally lowered his head to his chest and did not reply.
