Chapter 113: Usury
"Mother......" Bai Xiaolang took a step back, his face showed a look of fear, and his small body couldn't help but tremble.
Yang stood up and approached step by step, his delicate face was too hard, and the roots and green tendons appeared, which was hideous and terrifying.
"It's all you!" she roared in a low voice: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, the lord wouldn't dislike me, and the lady wouldn't have found a way to beat and scold me, it's all you!"
Yang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Xiaolang's arm fiercely, his nails buckled into the flesh: "Yes, it's all because of you!"
Bai Xiaolang's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to call, his mother said that if he called, he would never like him again.
"Hammer!"
The door was kicked open.
Yang's hideous expression softened, as if two personalities were exchanged, and then returned to a weak expression, and hugged the child with a rolling belt: "You... What are you?"
Cheng Jiangyan stepped into the room and looked down at the mother and son expressionlessly, and the strong oppressive force made the two tremble.
She reached out and grabbed Bai Xiaolang.
"My lord!" Yang rushed over and hugged her thigh, obviously recognizing Cheng Jiangyan: "My lord, please...... Please......"
After talking for a long time, she didn't say why, maybe even she didn't know what to ask for.
Cheng Jiangyan rolled up the boy's sleeves, her arms were covered with deep and shallow scars, old and new, and her eyes were cold: "What's going on?"
"This is ......" Yang's tears fell as he watched the boy look of remorse.
"This is my playfulness and falling. Bai Xiaolang lowered his head, quickly lowered his sleeves, and refused to let people look at him anymore, his long eyelashes kept trembling, obviously very nervous.
The pressure in the hut was stronger, and just when Yang felt that he was about to faint, a voice came.
"Jiang Yan"
The aura of danger was swept away.
Fang Xile walked over and looked at the mother and son who were squatting on the ground suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"I, I hit the child!" Yang whispered, "I won't in the future!"
Fang Xile smiled, it is not normal for parents to educate children, she did not do well in exams when she was a child in her previous life, and her parents would mix doubles: "I didn't expect Jiang Yan that you would be angry about this kind of thing." ”
A hint of complexity flashed in Cheng Jiangyan's eyes.
"Alright, aside, I've found something that might be useful. ”
......
"You, how do you know!" Zhuang Yonglong quickly reacted: "You eavesdropped on us!"
Fang Xile snorted with his nose: "Tell me, how did you force people to death?"
Zhuang Yonglong didn't speak, Fang Xile pulled Cheng Jiangyan and turned around and left.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course it's going back, since you don't want to say it, we don't need to catch ghosts, anyway, ghosts have a grudge against you, and killing your family will stop. ”
"Master!" Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Master, how long do you have to hide it!
"Oh?" Fang Xile turned around and sat down again.
"Hey, it's all evil!" Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes and opened them again.
Their family has been engaged in the business of usury, if they can't afford to pay it back, the dealer is not good at stubble, and will come to confiscate the land and houses, and many families have lost their money because of usury.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhao also explained that although they confiscated their property, they never hurt anyone.
It happened six years ago, there was a small village not far from Xichuan City, among which there was a man named Ding Da, who made a living from farming, and married a daughter-in-law named Sanya.
Seeing that the days were thriving, someone persuaded Ding Da that he couldn't make any money from farming for a lifetime, so it was better to do business, Ding Da and his daughter-in-law felt that it was feasible together, so the money they saved was a partnership.
Unexpectedly, that person was a liar, and he took away Ding Da's money, not to mention, and left a lot of debts.
The debt collector came to collect the debt every day, but there was no way, so Ding Da and his wife had to borrow usury from the banker.
But tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is not a way after all, the two of them are getting worse and worse, and they are unbearable, and finally, one night Sanya hanged herself.
Fang Xile and Cheng Jiangyan glanced at each other: "What is the name of that small village?"
"Ota Village. ”
"You tell me Sanya's information in detail. ”
"Yes!"
........
Fang Xile and Cheng Jiangyan rode horses on a country road.
"Is it okay for you to leave the county?"
"It's been so long, the old man of the poison cave won't still guard me every day, right?" Fang Xile said indifferently, if a grandmaster had nothing to do every day and was guarding her outside the city, then she could only admit it.
"It's not far, you see, that's it!"
Fang Xile pointed to the village in front of him.
"Old man, how do you go?" Fang Xile dismounted and asked the old woman passing by.
The old man carried the vegetable basket and looked the two of them up and down, and there was no such slippery and well-dressed girl in the village: "Ding, what are you looking for his family?"
"Let's ask about something. ”
"Oh," the old man pointed to the most dilapidated house on the edge of the village, "That's the Ding family, Ding Da should be in the field at this time, you can come back later." ”
Ding Da was really not at home, and the two could only stand in front of the door and wait.
"Sister, do you say that people who die unjustly can become ghosts?"
Fang Xile smiled: "How is it possible, that ghost is not yet ready to run on the street, there are so many that we can't catch it?" The conditions for becoming a ghost are very harsh, the place of burial, the hour of death, there are requirements, or carry some special things with you, and you may become a ghost after death." ”
"Then why can't they communicate after they become ghosts?"
Ghosts are generally irrational and act on instinct and obsession. You say that they don't have the memory of their life, but it's not, they also know to take revenge on those who hurt them, if they have memories of life, why do even their former relatives kill them without hesitation?
Fang Xile glanced at Cheng Jiangyan strangely and explained: "I have heard several sayings, one is that people have three souls and seven spirits, the soul has feelings, but the soul only has desires, people become ghosts and the three souls disappear, leaving only a mixture of seven spirits and yin qi, they have no reason, only instinct.
The second is that ghosts are transformed by the yin qi of heaven and earth, but they are affected by the resentment of the dead in the process of formation, so with their appearance and some memories, they are not real people, and the revenge they do is just affected by the resentment. ”
Fang Xile paused and said, "Why do you want to do so much, in the eyes of the ghosts, we are advanced food, opposite, kill and it's over!"
While the two men were talking, a man covered in mud and holding an iron pickaxe dragged back with tired steps.
When he saw two women standing in front of his house that he had never seen before, he was stunned and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
"But Ding Da, we are here for Sanya's business. ”
The iron pickaxe fell to the ground with a thud.
