tomb sacrifice

Hearing Butler Li's words, Zhang Catcher's heart jumped wildly, full of hope.Following Steward Li into the house, the journey was very quiet. They were in front of a house, but Steward Li stopped, knocked on the door, and said, "My lord, Catcher Zhang is here."

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, with a smile on their lips, "Let him in."

A familiar voice sounded, just like the person who had disappeared for five years, Zhang Butou stood there in a daze, unable to believe it.Butler Li pushed open the door and asked Zhang Catcher to go in. Zhang Catcher walked in blankly. Butler Li closed the door and left.

Entering the room, Zhang catcher saw a person standing with his back to him, that person was so familiar, so excited him.Zhang Butou walked forward, came to the man, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Is that you?"

The man turned around, with a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips, "It's me."

Zhang Butou was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The person he thought was dead stood in front of him, smiling at him.Mr. Li took Zhang Butou's hand and said, "Sit down first, I will tell you everything you want to know."

To calm down the excitement that was hard to hide, Zhang Butou nodded and sat down with Mr. Li.

Slowly, Mr. Li told the truth about what happened five years ago.Five years ago, before the inspector arrived, Mr. Li had already received news that although he had not participated in the private salt matter, it was not worth the collusion between the government and businessmen, and he wanted to kill him.

For this reason, Mr. Li began to transfer the family property and dismiss the staff from then on.Later, the inspector summoned Mr. Li and hinted secretly that he wanted him to confess his guilt. If the people did not fight with Guan, Mr. Li could only retreat.

Afterwards, Mr. Li was imprisoned in the prison and suspended animation.Mr. Li agreed to plead guilty, and even provided the evidence with his help, but he also made a condition, one is to let Zhang Butou arrest him, and the other is to keep his whole body after his death and bury it on the mountain he designated. .These two things couldn't be easier for a high-ranking official like the inspector, and he didn't bother to go back on his word, so he complied.

As for why he didn't tell Zhang Butou about these things, even after he moved in, it was just Mr. Li's selfishness.Although Mr. Li escaped, he was responsible for the crime after all. Zhang Butou worked for the Yamen, and he didn't want to harm Zhang Butou.

After hesitating, Mr. Li left the fate between him and Zhang Butou to God to decide.Every year on the day of Qingming and his death day, he would instruct the housekeeper to hang two lanterns at the door. At night, they would definitely be able to see them from the opposite mountain.

Zhang Butou used to rush back before closing the city gate, so naturally he couldn't see the light.By mistake, in five years, if it wasn't for today's coincidence, Catcher Zhang saw the light and looked for it out of curiosity, they would have missed it all the time.

After everything is resolved, Zhang Butou and Mr. Li still have an unfinished fate.The lanterns are flickering, the candles are flickering, people, it's time to rest.After five years of lingering, what kind of passion will they have tonight.Only at this moment, they don't have to think about how to go in the future, they just need to feel each other well and love each other.
