Chapter 112: Where is the corpse?
Xue Qi was very frightened, stood up with "Huo", and muttered in his mouth:
"Two months, two months ......"
It has only been more than two months since he returned to Beijing, and this tomb was also brought to him by Xie Miao more than two months ago.
Could it be that this is a fake grave specially made by Xie Miao to deceive him?
But why did he do this, and specially found a dead man to be Xue Jiao? Where is the real Xue Jiao, Xue Qi couldn't help but feel that there was a little hope rising in his heart.
"I, my sister, she, will she not be dead yet......"
His voice was trembling.
Su Rongyi smiled bitterly, but seeing this child's excited expression, she said in a ghostly manner: "Maybe." ”
Perhaps, she knew, that she herself was indeed "dead".
But there are too many things to say to Xue Qiming.
The person in the grave is Hongdou, and she was killed half a year ago with herself, so why does the body look like she has been dead for three or four months at most?
Moreover, the color of the wooden planks on the inside of the coffin is darker than that on the outside, indicating that there was more stagnant water in the coffin.
More corpse water oozes than a corpse buried after a normal death.
Then there is only one possibility, she was once frozen in an ice cellar.
Therefore, Su Rongyi boldly speculated that her Xue Jiao's body may still be in the ice cellar.
Therefore, the Xue family and the Xie family did not want to mention Xue Jiao's death at all, and they would never hold a funeral for Xue Jiao.
At that time, it was likely that their master and servant died in the river as Xie Miao wished, and the bodies were picked up, perhaps because it was difficult to distinguish who was the master and who was the servant because of the clothes and appearances of the two, and the two were sent to Jinling together, Xie Miao did not dispose of them immediately for some reason, but froze them in the ice cellar, and it was not until more than two months later that the red beans were buried here in the name of Xue Jiao, just enough to block Xue Qi's mouth.
She felt as if the hairs on her body were standing upside down.
This speculation is so unbelievable, but it is the only possibility.
There are thousands of possibilities, excluding all the impossible, even if the last one is unbelievable, this is the truth.
Su Rongyi thought of Xie Miao's face that was also as cold as ice, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Xue Qi saw that her face suddenly turned pale, and immediately took a little care from the excitement of "my sister may still be alive" to treat her, and he had completely forgiven her insistence on digging graves.
"It's fine." Su Rongyi smiled at him with a white face.
Brother Qi'er, you still don't want to know, these terrible and disgusting things, when I find out everything, our sister and brother will definitely recognize each other again, Xie Miao, and will never be an obstacle between us again.
Su Rongyi ordered someone to fill in the grave again, she apologized silently to Hongdou in her heart, she could only do this, her current situation is also like walking a tightrope, she can only be wronged Hongdou lying on the ground without even a tombstone in this small tomb.
Master and servant, she tired her life, and after death, she was so tired that she was a nameless wild ghost. Su Rongyi's heart was very sour.
Completely different from her was Xue Qi, whose eyes suddenly sparkled, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xue Jiao was very likely not to die.
What a simple child.
Su Rongyi grabbed him, "The tomb was ordered to be repaired by the Duke of Zhenguo, since he deliberately concealed it from you, he must know the inside story, if you go back and ask him rashly, what do you think he will do?" ”
The fire in Xue Qi's eyes was extinguished, "My cousin treats me kindly, he must have his reason for hiding from me, he must also have a hard time, maybe my sister has some incurable disease, in order not to make us sad, my cousin helped me hide in the poor countryside......"
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that it was nonsense, it was simply a third-rate story.
Su Rongyi said: "You believe in Zhenguo Gong so much? He has a secret from you, but you want to tell him everything? ”
What a fool, Su Rongyi's temper came up, and she wanted to scold him, but this is not the past, no matter how bitter she is in her heart, she has to recognize the reality, and now Xie Miao is the closest person to him Xue Qi, even if she has the identity of "Xue Jiao's old friend", she is also an embarrassing existence.
Xue Qi thought for a moment, "What you said is reasonable. ”
He couldn't ask Xie Miao, he could always go to his grandmother, maybe his grandmother could know something.
Su Rongyi sighed, he still overestimated him, thinking that after letting him witness this incident with his own eyes, he would be able to estranged himself from Xie Miao and stop being so close to him, but this stupid boy can't understand if he doesn't make it clear.
The two returned to the city before the city gate was closed, Su Rongyi was tired, but Jianqiu thought she was frightened, and asked the kitchen to make soothing tea for her to drink.
When Xue Qi returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, he happened to meet Xie Miao, who was returning home from the barracks.
As usual, Xie Miao wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Xue Qi stiffened for a moment.
Xie Miao withdrew his hand, "Going out to play again?" If you're tired, go back and rest, and let the kitchen make you your favorite sauce elbow later. ”
Xue Qi pulled out a smile at him, "Thank you, cousin." ”
Seeing Xie Miao turn around and leave, Xue Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Miao returned to the study and immediately called Liu Chang, "What did he do today?" ”
Liu Chang thought for a while, "It seems that he is out of the city again, the little young master will run out of the city in three days, it seems that he is going to ...... again"
He stopped talking, he knew that Tixue Jiao Xie Miao would be unhappy.
Xie Miao leaned back in the chair, his eyes closed, Liu Chang couldn't hear his reply for a long time, thinking that it was like normal, but he heard the master's cold voice coming:
"No, it's different today, something must have happened outside the city."
Xie Miao opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, and Liu Chang suddenly felt that the indoor air seemed to be a little condensed.
"I'll see for myself."
Liu Chang was stunned, "Outside the city? ”
Xie Miao didn't answer, which meant by default.
Liu Chang thought to himself, for this little master of the Xue family, the master really attaches great importance to it, if it weren't for Xue Qi, he also knew, how could the master be willing to go to Xue Jiao's grave to worship.
"Have you done everything?" Xie Miao turned his head and cut off the topic.
Liu Chang thought about it, what was it?
"The master refers to what the fourth lady of the Su family asked you to do a few days ago? The subordinates have already taken care of it, it turns out that the cause of the matter is that the third wife of the Su family and the second miss of the Xue family cooperate in business, and they are both spice shops, and the two will inevitably not get along, so it is a little unpleasant, and now the two parties are evenly divided, and they say that the business is half of each, but the business that can make these two fight for is also a bit of a doorway......"
He paused, wanting to see Xie Miao's interest before deciding whether to continue.
Xie Miao said "um", let go of this topic, the small fights between women, he also knew that there would be no problem.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that he didn't even need to ask Liu Chang, what could happen? He's been too much of a soldier lately. (To be continued.) )
