Chapter Seventy-Seven
"Boss Xu knows who that is?"
"I ...... I don't know! How would I have known him! Xu Yuan came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand.
On the other side of the road, it was Wang Li's funeral procession, four people carrying the coffin, and in front of them were all his relatives, dressed in white clothes with white cloth around their heads, crying as they walked. Walking on the head, it was probably his wife, who was old, her face was wrinkled, and she was crying heartbreakingly, if it wasn't for someone to help her, she would probably have collapsed to the ground.
Xu Yuan had no mercy or sympathy for this at the moment, and only wanted to dodge, for fear that people would make trouble and destroy the relationship between the four imperial concubines and himself.
Therefore, seeing that people were getting closer and closer, he didn't care about clinging to Xie Yiying anymore, and he arched his hand to Qingmei, and was about to leave in a hurry.
"Boss Xu, is there something urgent about this?" Qingmei didn't seem to see it, and kept him politely.
"Yes, there are still some things to attend to at home." Xu Yuan immediately found a reason.
"That's not in a hurry, it's not good to bump into the funeral procession at this moment."
"This ...... Xu does have an urgent matter at home. Xu Yuan's sweat was about to come out, and he didn't want to deal with people anymore, so he turned around and was about to leave.
"Boss Xu......" Qingmei dragged out her tone unhurriedly, "How can a living person grab a road with a dead person." ”
Why, do you want to get ahead of the dead?
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yuan seemed too deliberate to leave again. Therefore, he had to stay, burying his head deeply, hoping that the other party would not be able to see him.
The procession walked so slowly, holding the guide of the soul-attracting bamboo, throwing white guide paper along the street, followed by those holding flags, holding spirit cards, bands, sacrificial scrolls, wreaths, funeral relatives and friends, coffins, and descendants.
One person after another walked in front of him, white guide papers flying all over the sky fluttering at his feet, and bursts of crying in his ears. He waited for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his head and sneak a glance, but he was meeting the eyes of a person, and through the long funeral procession, he stood on the other side of the street, looking directly at himself coldly.
It's Wang Li!
He was wearing the clothes of the day he died, his face was snow-white and there was no blood at all, and there was a bruise-purple strangulation mark on his neck, and his eyes were ...... Gloomy and gloomy, a demon from hell! Not a living person at all!
It's Wang Li's ghost who has come back for revenge!
What are you doing with me! If you want to blame, blame your owner!
Xu Yuan was out of breath in shock, his mouth opened wide and he stayed there, until Qingmei gently patted him on the shoulder, and he screamed out.
At this time, the funeral team had already walked away, and only the Qingmei beside him seemed to be taken aback: "Boss Xu, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Yuan gasped for breath several times before he came to his senses, but he suddenly shook off Qingmei's arm and took two steps forward: "He's right there!" Did you see that! ”
"Who's there? The slave didn't see anything. Boss Xu, are you too tired? Needless to say, Qingmei's acting skills went without saying, looking in the direction of Xu Yuan's finger, her expression was very curious.
"He's right there! It's him! It's definitely him! Xu Yuan didn't seem to hear his answer, staring and panting around, trying to find out the ghost.
He was at the scene when Wang Li died, watching him go from struggling to being out of breath, the blood on his face faded little by little, and his eyes bulged out.
He was not afraid when he was human, but he was afraid of him when he died.
"Boss Xu, what did you see in this blue sky?" Qingmei seemed to finally understand what kind of "person" he was talking about, and her expression became a little frightened.
"I ......" Xu Yuan finally came back to his senses, knowing that this was something that must not be exposed to them.
So he tried to pull out a smile at Qingmei: "Don't worry, Qingmei girl, it's a gaffe." Xu still has something to do at home, so he won't bother the four princesses anymore. Please convey the Qingmei girl on her behalf, if the princess has time, come to the house to sit, the inner family misses the princess very much. ”
Qingmei had been instructed by Xie Yiying earlier, and she didn't plan to let him go like this at the moment. Pretending to look at it in private, he looked cautiously, and then approached Xu Yuan and said in a low voice: "Is Boss Xu seeing a young man with a white face?" Look...... Looking like you're in your early thirties? ”
Xu Yuanben's calmed face turned white, as if the color of blood faded in an instant, revealing a pale and weak soul hiding under the surface: "You also saw him!" ”
"This ......" Qingmei looked timidly at the side of the street as if she didn't know how to explain it.
Xu Yuan wanted to continue to ask, but Xie Yiying in the carriage called: "Qingmei, why haven't you come back." After coming out to play for two days, there are no rules in the house at all. ”
The voice was very harsh, Qingmei didn't dare to linger any longer, but hurriedly blessed Xu Yuan, and returned to the carriage.
Although it was just a sentence, it really played a role in adding fuel and firewood, Xu Yuan originally suspected that he was wrong, but now he believes it very much. As soon as I thought of this, my heart was even more horrified.
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I hurried back to my house.
When I went back, I fell seriously ill, of course, this is a later story.
And Xie Yiying, who listened to Qingmei's description in the sedan chair, just lazily raised his eyebrows: "Now he knows that he is afraid?" ”
She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and the person who had just hid over there stood up again, bowed to Xie Yiying, Xie Yiying nodded to him, and the person hid his figure again.
"Did Shopkeeper Ye say last time that he had given the money to Wang Li's family?"
"Yes, Madame, don't worry anymore. The shopkeeper Ye is a person who can do things in a measured way. ”
"It's not that I don't trust him, it's just the money...... After all, it can only play a role in making the living live a little better materially, but the mood cannot be changed because of this. If you lose a loved one, you can't make up for it with no amount of money......" The tone was very emotional, but the voice was a change of words, "I'm not a virgin, a dead person can't let the real murderer take his life, but he also has to pay the price of a lifetime." ”
The carriage ran again at this time, and the bluestone road in Yangzhou City was very flat, but it was a little slippery after the rain, so the groom did not dare to let the horse run fast.
Xie Yiying knew that she would have to walk for a while, so she lowered her eyes and began to think about things, but when the carriage entered an alley not far from the mansion, it suddenly stopped, Xie Yiying and Qingmei were caught off guard and almost rushed out.
After Qingmei stabilized herself, she immediately asked, "What's the matter!" ”
She thought it was a slippery road, but after a moment of silence outside, a long silver knife opened the curtain.
"Who are you?" Qingmei was shocked, and hurriedly protected Xie Yiying behind her, but who knew that the person regarded her as nothing, bent in, threw Qingmei out, and then took out a handkerchief and covered Xie Yiying's mouth.
Xie Yiying only smelled a pungent smell, and vaguely saw five or six black-clothed people outside the car, and fainted suddenly.
