Chapter 1 Never Escape
News broadcast: At around 4:20 am Beijing time today, a fire meteor exploded over the city. Witnesses said that a small number of meteorites fell on the Yongjiang River. At present, no reports of casualties or property losses have been received.
...
Lu Yongzhi sat on the reef by the mountain stream, a thick braid half scattered on his chest, and the rain kept washing his face, wanting to cry without tears, and losing his soul!
The carriage with a shed was rising and falling in the rapids, downstream. Some gray strips of cloth hung on the branches opposite, swaying in the wind. A horse's head had just exposed its head in the stream, and a wave hit it, but it disappeared without a trace.
Black clouds press down on the mountains, and heavy rainstorms are pouring.
I was wandering by the Yong River just now, looking at the stars in the sky, looking at the brightly lit night scene. Suddenly, a ball of fireballs flew straight towards me in the sky.
Suddenly, my consciousness was lost.
When I woke up again, I became what I am now, and I had the memories of two people.
It is now the 23rd year of Guangxu, and he has become a small platoon leader in the patrol of Yingshuikou Town, Daolongzhou Prefecture, Guangxi.
In the 23rd year of the Guangxu period, in 1897 AD, it was only fourteen years before the founding of the Republic of China.
Although it traveled from the 21st century to the 19th century, it was better than being desperate. I misappropriated the company's 20 million yuan in payment and threw it all into a game.
I thought that this game that would never lose would bring me more than 20 million yuan. Then I bought a villa in the center of Nanning and smashed the property certificate on the face of my ex-wife, asking her to explain what it means to "living a life that can see the head at a glance!"
However, I lost this game, but I lost without reason. I can stay in prison for the rest of my life!
If the soul travels through time, it will travel through time. Although the body is not its own, at least the consciousness is still alive. But when he searches for the memory of this body, he found a truth:
When you are in desperate situation, don’t be sad too early, because there are even more sad things waiting for you!
This Lu Yongzhi is a murderer!
He was escorted from the water entrance to the Longzhou Prefecture Office by five soldiers from the patrol battalion. He encountered mudslides on the way and the carriage fell into the mountain stream. All the people except him were buried in the mountain stream.
Now, he was waiting for trial with the murderer on his back. Now the people who were escorted him were fed fish and shrimp one by one, but the escorted one by one was still alive.
Now even if you have ten mouths, you can't tell it clearly.
Escape, it seems that this is the only way to have no choice!
His limited historical knowledge told him that at this time, Guangxi was an era where bandits were everywhere, with many associations and the tentacles of the Tongmenghui were everywhere.
Isn’t there such a saying that risks and opportunities coexist!
More than a hundred miles to the west is Vietnam under the French rule, and most people are used to calling Annan.
The Sino-Vietnam border is a zone of no concern. Many wanted sects, the abolished Qing soldiers, and bandits all gathered there to the forest and live a free life of occupying the mountains and becoming kings.
With the German Mauser 1871 rifle that I just fished out of the water, it would be no problem to join me and make a living.
In a few years, the world will change drastically. Who will care about a murderer who was wanted in the old dynasty?
"Damn it, I'll leave as soon as I say it's noon now, and I can catch up to thirty or forty miles before dark."
Lu Yongzhi stood up from the reef, sorted out the dirt-gray military uniform on his body, and grabbed the branches and climbed up the shore.
Just escape like this? From then on, he started wandering around the world with the name of a wanted criminal on his back, hiding his name?
I lived in my thirties and had nothing in my career. I relied on the relationship between classmates to help others in the company, and with the lowest salary, I was shouted around all day. I have been married for nearly ten years and I still rented a house. My wife refused to have children until she ran away with me.
For several years, my wife's contemptuous look had always hurt his heart like a knife: "I have lived enough! This darkness can be seen at first glance!"
However, the mistress who was waiting at the door patted him on the shoulder and handed him a cigarette, with half pity and half apologies on her face. She took her wife's luggage and went downstairs. It was usually like a substitution on the court!
Damn, I actually took the cigarette, leaned against the door without any shame, and looked at their backs, and finished smoking with great pleasure!
Isn’t it just that I have been avoiding things when I encounter problems? I have never had the courage to face challenges and difficulties, nor have I worked hard.
Now God has given a young body to live again, and be as chaotic as before, without shame?
No! Anyway, it’s a life I’ve saved. I want to choose a life with a different way of living and never escape from it!
"I want to live a brand new self!"
Lu Yongzhi raised his head and looked up at the sky, stretched out his hands to grab something, and almost used all his strength to shout.
"Crack" a lightning flashed by, as if God was frightened by Lu Yongzhi's hideous face.
If you want to live upright, you must first solve the problem that your body encounters: you are charged with murder!
In Lu Yongzhi's memory, he had no impression of murder. He was framed!
Yesterday afternoon, he was called by the whistleman Changbai Jiunian to play cards, and the deputy whistleman Xu was also with him.
Lao Zhou, who was killed, came back the afternoon of the previous day. He is the shopkeeper of the largest mountain goods store in Shuikou Town. It has been a month since he went to Nanning Mansion to deliver mountain goods.
The patrol battalion was similar to the later police station. After the imperial court encouraged local recruits to train new recruits in the late Qing Dynasty, the original green camp soldiers were removed. The battalion headquarters was located in Longzhou Prefecture, and larger towns had whistles. The whistle commander was equivalent to the position of company commander.
In addition to the orders issued by the oxen in the morning, it can also prove that they had a military career. At other times, they were already lazy like idle civilians.
Wu Changbai had a good relationship with Lao Zhou, who was in the mountain business, and often went in and out of his house. Lao Zhou came back from Nanning and Bai Jiu Nian was holding wine to greet him. It was normal. He asked Shanglu Yongzhi to play cards mainly to find a sucker, and someone paid for him.
After dinner and drinking, Lu Yongzhi lost money and paid the bill, and then the scene ended and the three of them returned to the military camp together.
Manager Zhou was killed in his house in the middle of the night. He was stabbed to death with a bayonet, which was Lu Yongzhi's.
But Lu Yongzhi did not have the impression of this bayonet in his memory. He remembered that the bayonet and rifle were always in the dormitory.
Early in the morning, Bai Jiunian brought people to his dormitory and accused him of losing money for playing cards and attempting to blackmail.
Then, he was tied up and sent to the Longzhou Prefecture Taiya Office to wait for trial together with the murder weapon, the bayonet and witness testimony, mainly the testimony of the shopkeeper Zhou's wife and deputy sentry elder Xu.
Now the evidence and testimony disappeared into the mountain stream with the escorts.
Based on the entire incident, the suspicion of the Nine Years of Shun Changbai is the greatest!
He asked Lu Yongzhi to play cards, not to let him lose money as Lu Yongzhi thought, but to make him a scapegoat and pay for Bai Jiunian's murder.
Lu Yongzhi was chosen because he was usually a coward! He couldn't even speak incompletely, and his soldiers could be fooled at any time.
The motive for Bai Jiunian to kill is nothing more than coveting the property of Manager Zhou and his wife's beauty. The ambiguous relationship between Manager Zhou's little wife and Bai Jiunian has long been rumored to be in Shuikou Town, but Lu Yongzhi did not analyze it in depth.
You must obtain evidence that can be submitted in the official office.
The most critical witness is Manager Zhou’s wife. Only by prying open her mouth can you get the evidence you want.
