After solving the death crushing of five rolling logs, there was a floor of…
Hmm, this ground covered with breakstone didn’t seem to be a smooth road.
Sun Shaozong led several frightened Yamen guards to climb to the top of the mountain, and there were no more mechanism traps.
When they got to the top of the mountain, they saw the Pavilion foundation that had been demolished and rebuilt in front, and a strong scarface man was holding a chick-like young master in his arms. Needless to say, these two people were naturally “Carpenter Zhang” and Jia Qin.
"Don't come here! Or I'll kill him!"
Carpenter Zhang clutched a carving knife in his hand and put it on Jia Qin's neck tremblingly. In the blink of an eye, he had scratched several bloodstains. Jia Qin screamed in his mouth, and his crotch was even hotter.
Sun Shaozong's eyes fell on Jia Qin's crossed-tied hands. He suddenly had a thought in his heart and blurted out, "You spent so much time on the body just to hide the mark on the rope?"
With ancient technical conditions, it was naturally impossible to mass produce metal tapes, so craftsmen marked out sizes on the ropes to compare length and measure straightness, which was called the “rope ruler.”
If a person was tied by this "rope ruler" for a long time, the person's skin would inevitably be stained with those scale marks. At that time, as long as he did a little investigation, it wasn’t difficult to lock onto the target of craftsmen nearby.
So this Carpenter Zhang took great pains to erase all the "flesh and bones" marks printed on the body of his victim!
Before Carpenter Zhang answered, Sun Shaozong asked again, "What is the purpose of covering up the burn on the head of the body?"
"You... You…”
Swallow~
Carpenter Zhang swallowed hard and managed to suppress the tension in his heart. He then finally spit out a few words in full, "You are the “Divine Judgement Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun” of the Central Judicial Office, aren't you? I knew it, how can those muddle-headed government people of Daxing County alone be able to find me?!"
Several Yamen servicemen in Daxing County heard the speech and immediately shouted and scolded.
Carpenter Zhang didn't pay any attention, only Sun Shaozong was in his eyes. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you everything, now! My aunt was originally a nun in the Shuiyue Temple..."
"Nun of the Shuiyue Temple?"
Sun Shaozong was stunned at first, and then suddenly said, "So you set that fire because her hair is too short!"
"That's right!"
Carpenter Zhang nodded and said, "She has been with me for more than two months, and her hair has only grown less than an inch. Anyone can guess that she was originally a nun! I had to burn her hair clean so that no one could see her flaws anymore!"
All the doubts have been cleared so far.
Sun Shaozong was waiting to take advantage of the opportunity to guide him and spit out other details, but Zhou Rui frowned next to him and interjected, "Carpenter Zhang, is the religious name of this little nun of Shuiyue Temple called “Intelligent child?”
Carpenter Zhang gave him an oblique look, stuck his neck out, and shouted, "Whatever her religious name or not, since she has become my wife, she naturally has to change her surname to Zhang!"
Although he didn't give a positive answer, he admitted that the religious name of the deceased was “Intelligent Child.”
Is the deceased still an acquaintance of the Rongguo Mansion?
Sun Shaozong glanced at Zhou Rui in surprise and sneered, "Carpenter Zhang, you really aren’t afraid of talking big and lying without scruples. You even ended up giving yourself away. That “Intelligent Child” was clearly kidnapped and finally killed by you. How did she become your wife?"
"I didn't kill her!"
Carpenter Zhang suddenly became manic, and the carving knife in his hand was moved up. Suddenly, there was a wound on Jia Qin's chin. While messing with the tip of the knife, he said with hate, "It's him! It's this f*cker that won't let me go back, so... So I killed my wife!"
While talking, Carpenter Zhang began to choke and exclaimed agitatedly, "Since I picked her up in the snow that night, I have recognized her as my wife! Originally, I was going to marry her when she became pregnant with my baby. Who would have thought..."
"Who would have thought that this bastard would not let me go! I knelt, begged, and fought desperately, but he... But this motherf*cker just won't let me go!"
The more he said, the more agitated he became. Suddenly, he pulled the carving knife out of Jia Qin's chin and roared, "Son of a bitch, you can't escape. I'll let you pay for her life today!"
After he finished his sentence, he wanted to find Jia Qin's neck to stab into!
"No!"
Zhou Rui shouted with fear. Before his words fell, he just felt a flash of white light in front of him. He then heard Carpenter Zhang’s scream and fell with Jia Qin into the rebuilt foundation ground of the Pavilion!
Sun Shaozong went out of the crowd and stepped on the chest of Carpenter Zhang. Only then did they find that one of the stone sticks in his hand was missing.
It turned out that Sun Shaozong had seen the emergency, so he threw the stone stick away and hit Carpenter Zhang's wrist. It immediately caused half of his bones and tendons in his arms to break!
Carpenter Zhang was also a strong-willed person. He was trampled on his chest by Sun Shaozong but was still struggling desperately and shouted, "Let me go! Let me kill this bastard and avenge my wife! Let me go..."
"Revenge?"
Sun Shaozong made a little effort under his feet, and he stopped his scolding, bowed his head, and sneered, "What face do you have to say about revenge? Stop kidding! If you really like her as much as you said, why didn't you dare to tell the others at the beginning but tie her up in the cellar? Instead, you leave her alone to die of hunger and cold?!”
"If you really like her so much, how can you abuse her body to cover up the trace?!"
"Stop pretending!"
"You just want to find a woman to vent your desire! Everything about being your wife and saying that you like her is all nonsense! What you really care about is yourself!"
After Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he removed his right foot that was stepping on his chest, but Carpenter Zhang didn't seem to feel it at all and still laid on his back on the ground used to lay the foundation. There was no trace of hostility on his scarred face, only endless confusion and shame.
"Ah!!!"
At this time, a bleak scream suddenly broke out. Zhou Rui rushed to remove the rag from Jia Qin's mouth.
Jia Qin screamed, "My arm, my arm is broken! My arm... My arm..."
It turned out that Sun Shaozong's throw earlier not only smashed Carpenter Zhang's wrist but also broke Jia Qin's right arm.
Sun Shaozong looked at his soft right arm, which was usually hung on his shoulder with a broken cloth bag. He shrugged helplessly and said, "Sorry, the situation is urgent just now, and I can only take such measures."
At the same time, he sneered in his heart, “This arm should be regarded as the punishment for unintentionally killing the “Intelligent Child.”
That's right~
Sun Shaozong purposely kept Jia Qin as his target and smashed it!
