Chapter 167 Eight Treasures Makeup 21
Zhao Yu obviously didn't expect this to be a game.
He looked at Lu Ke for a moment, and was also thinking about Lu Ke's identity. After thinking for a while, he recalled in a daze that this man was a yamen office. Although he was wearing regular clothes, his eyes and momentum were very different from those of ordinary people. But how could it be? Everyone was trapped. He had already played with everyone in the yamen for the first time, and now he played with him for the second time. How did he expect that he would come here?
He held the knuckles of the axe and clenched them slightly, looked at Lu Ke and the people behind him, and understood that his situation was over.
"Brother Yu of your Zhao family?" Lu Ke suddenly spoke.
Zhao Yu frowned, with a little surprised in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Lu Ke to reveal his identity in one word.
Lu Ke's eyes showed his clarity, "If I remember correctly, you were in the park for almost three years, and only started serving Yu Xun a year ago. From then on, you have been preparing for a long time. The person you and the manager of the park reported were eighteen years old. I guess you were the four-year-old child who survived the Zhao family class back then."
The surviving children at that time were four years old and seven years old. According to similar age calculations, he should be Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu stared at Lu Ke, "So you all know."
Lu Ke said indifferently: "Not only do you know, you also dug out the corpses of your master, your wife and your brothers..."
These words immediately angered Zhao Yu, "How dare you-"
Lu Ke said calmly: "Yu Xun and others are from the Zhao family, and their confessions are fake, so the yamen has no way to go, so they traced back. Later, they finally found the old things fourteen years ago, and wanted to find out what happened that year. Then they found their tomb. You are afraid that they will be uneasy under the dig of the grave. But if you do these things, they will feel inappropriate if they look at the Spirit of Heaven."
Zhao Yu smiled coldly. The noise caused by the fire in the distance continued, but someone began to walk towards this courtyard. Soon, Wu Xiang took two people into the courtyard first. As soon as he saw the scene in the house, he understood the cause and effect. When he thought of Lu Ke's behavior in the past few days, he understood a little, but he was a little confused.
This situation was hard for Zhao Yu. His back stiffened for a moment, and finally threw the axe in his hand to the ground with a bang.
Lu Ke nodded to the two people behind him, and they immediately stepped forward to take Zhao Yu and took him.
Zhao Yu did not resist, but the fear on his face was replaced by indifference. When he was taken out, he did not even look at anyone around him.
Wu Xiang grabbed his head and walked towards Lu Ke, "Lu Duwei, what do you mean?"
Lu Ke handed the oil lamp on his hand to the Yamapost and said indifferently: "The murderer wants to kill people. In the past, he did kill according to age. But now time is tight and the Yamapost is keeping a close eye on him. The murderer must also want to take action earlier. We will focus on Chen Mo, but deliberately leave a hole around Liu Qing. The murderer is a person who can pull the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and west, so he naturally needs to seize this opportunity."
Wu Xiang immediately reacted to the strange arrangements in the heavenly park. They guarded for many days, just to put pressure on the murderer, but they also left a loophole that the murderer could discover, seducing and forcing him to enter this game.
Wu Xiang was dumbfounded and thought of the camphor wood forest behind the bird garden for a moment.
The forest is covered with a net, and rare birds are raised inside. Ordinary birds follow the orders of the taming master, but occasionally there are fierce birds who are unwilling to return to the cage. The taming masters do not want to hurt the birds, so they slapped the treetops from all directions and placed the most attractive water on the ground. The birds are surrounded and threatened, and when they see the tempting food, they naturally have to fly to peck at the food. The taming master easily captured the birds.
"Captain Wu, you are here to deal with the aftermath. I will report to the Marquis and take the person back to the yamen for interrogation."
After Lu Ke finished speaking, Wu Xiang hurriedly responded. Soon, Lu Ke took his people to Jingzhaoyi Yamen.
It was already deep in the night, but shortly after the news was sent out, Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou to the yamen. The moment he saw Zhao Yu kneeling on the ground in the main hall, Bo Ruoyou was also a little surprised.
When he went to the Hundred Birds Garden for the first time, as Yu Xun's servant, Zhao Yu was both shocked and afraid, looking weak and pitiful, giving people a sense of innocent and harmlessness. Who would have thought that he was the murderer?
Sun Zhao also received the news that the murderer appeared and rushed to the yamen at night. He was the chief official of the case. In the main hall, he sat in the upper seat of the government and asked questions.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Yu knelt under the hall in a coarse cloth and blue clothes, with his eyebrows slightly curled, and his whole body looked quite calm. "Zhao Yu, eighteen years old, is from Qinzhou, northwest, and has been to the capital due to natural disasters."
"So you survived the fire back then?"
"yes."
"Where are the other two?"
"All dead."
Sun Zhao frowned, Zhao Yu said: "There were three people who survived that year. Uncle Qian died of illness five years ago. His senior brother suffered severe burns back then and died not long after."
Sun Zhao looked at Huo Weilou and saw that Huo Weilou had no intention of speaking, he continued: "Fourteen years have passed since this incident. Are you trying to avenge your master? What happened back then?"
"It's revenge, back then..." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, "My master was kind-hearted and adopted many orphans with the input of the opera troupe. In those years, there were many refugees in the capital. I was one of them. Some people with some strength could at least find a job and ask for food when they came, but half-aged children like me could only be beggars. If there was a disease and a disaster, they would not be able to survive."
"The master adopted at least ten children. He did not adopt children under the age of ten, as young as three or five years old, as old as **. The master taught us to play and juggle, and asked us to learn a craft. When we were twelve or thirteen years old, the master would not stop him from leaving. When he sent away five of them, the troupe could not support him."
"They were smart and active, and they also learned some real skills. They could make a living even if they left. The five people left by my master were only four years old at that time. One of them was seven years old. The other three were all ** years old. They were either sick or very stupid. Naturally, the master also felt that we had good character and were willing to raise us like a son."
"There are actually more than five of them who were sent away, and there are also a few older brothers who have been away for a long time. After the five of them left for three months, we were unprepared. I can't remember anything else. I only remember that my master found that there was something wrong with the Jingshui and stuffed me into the cabinet in the house before they entered the door."
Zhao Yu's pupils trembled, "I saw how they killed their master and his wife, and a few senior brothers. They originally wanted to kill Uncle Qian and the others, but they were scared. The neighbors were close to each other and were very likely to be discovered, so they set fire."
Sun Zhao sighed, "You three survived and buried your master's body. Since you know who the murderer is, you also reported to the official position, why didn't you tell the people in the yamen back then?"
Zhao Yu raised his blood-stained eyes and looked at Sun Zhao with a sharp look, "Tell the people in the yamen? Is it useful to tell them? I was injured at that time and was just a four-year-old child. I said that I saw the murderer, who was my master's former disciple, but no one believed it. They didn't let me say it, nor did anyone want anyone to try to catch it. The yamen even asserted that the master and the others were burned to death by a fire."
After he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly, and Sun Zhao felt a little nervous.
Huo Weilou sat in the first place on the left, and Bo Ruoyou sat in his position. After hearing this, both of them naturally understood that the yamen was guilty of dereliction of duty back then, but the incident happened for many years and it was difficult to trace back.
Sun Zhao pondered for a moment, "I think you have grown up well over the years, why do you still have to seek revenge after so long?"
Zhao Yu's back stiffened for a moment. He knelt straight and his expression was calm and cold. Even when he was violent, he never showed fragile emotions of fear and panic. However, Sun Zhao's questioning made him feel a bit of long-lasting sadness deep in his pupils.
"It's true that after a long time, the alley where the master used to live has now become a new Minfang. The yamen has also been completely renewed from top to bottom. No one in the capital remembers a strange fire broke out in the south of the city fourteen years ago."
"Everything has passed, everything seems to have settled, except for the witnesses of the case." The sadness in Zhao Yu's eyes dissipated, and then turned into a deep dry well. "Adults must have never experienced the feeling of losing a close relative. The taste will not be weak because of time. From the time I could make a living by myself, I was tracing the whereabouts of those people. It was not until four years ago that I discovered that they had returned to the capital. They changed their names and surnames, entered the pleasure boat and entered the theater. Although they were for the nobles to have fun, they also lived in a rich and elegant manner."
"How can this be done? Master teaches people that people should be punished if they make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they will not be punished. Then no one in this world has to distinguish right from wrong. They have killed their masters and mothers who are nurturing and killed their brothers who are sympathetic. They have harmed so many people, how can they live their lives easily and freely?"
"The victims suffer in a nightmare, but the evil ones rest assured. What is the reason? Killing is wrong, but no one presides over the dead master and mother, so I decided to avenge them."
A bit of sinister appeared between Zhao Yu's eyebrows and eyes, "I killed them and used the same method, but even so, it would not relieve my hatred, because my master and his wife had turned into a pile of bones, but they were safe and sound for more than ten years. The world is unfair, and the world is really unfair. They should have paid their life for their master fourteen years ago! I avenged my revenge, but it was too late. You know now that it was not a fire, but it was too late, it was really too late..."
