Chapter 100: The Truth Revealed
Zuo Anming nodded and said, "Reliable." Because of the sins committed in the lush woods of Hanshan Temple, he was unaware of being seen, and the monk only cared about the lack of virtue and did not find the third pair of eyes. Because of his too much energy, he did too many evils, and trapped the woman to death, and the whole process of ruining her was really seen by the third pair of eyes. He was afraid that he would be discovered by the monk and invite death, so he left the scene in horror and went home without seeing where the body had been thrown. Hanyue Wenyu suspected that the woman was a servant of his family, her actual age was sixteen years old, she was thin, she looked like she was only about thirteen years old, his family was an orphan bought on the street, and she had been ten years old. Both of them disappeared last night, and the bodies were not recovered, and it is still uncertain who the deceased was. ”
Han Donglang got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and his voice trembled: "It seems that there is no peace in Qionglong City, and the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes." What's next? Leng Yue Han Xing was in Ren Youlan's academy, and she didn't release Han Chenxing, the purpose was to ask me to promise to marry her and take her to Chang'an. She is so demanding, and she has a posture of not giving up until she achieves her goal. I heard you say just now that she is an impostor, her origin is unknown, and she wants to go to Chang'an, it seems that she is a spy and not necessarily, maybe the woman who came in at the border, we have to guard against it. ”
"yes, I have that hunch too, but I can tell that she really likes you. Ren Youlan, who has always had a high eye, looked at you, her eyes were full of love, and her tender gaze poured on your face, making Yu Tingshi so jealous that he couldn't get rid of you immediately, so that he could embrace the beauty. ”
Han Donglang said worriedly: "We don't talk about the relationship between men and women, those are all things that are fleeting, I only have Han Chenxing in my heart, even if Ren Youlan stalks me and pleads on my knees, my heart will never be shaken." Even if she was lying naked next to me, I would never touch her. ”
Zuo Anming nodded and said, "It can be seen that you have a deep and dedicated affection for Cold Moon and Cold Star. Ren Youlan came out, let's go to the office next door to discuss countermeasures! ”
"yes, okay."
Yuwen Si saw the two people entering the door, and said happily: "Han Donglang, congratulations on your happy event, Ren Youlan will fulfill you and Leng Yue Hanxing, the premise is to keep her life experience secret to the end." also said that you and Leng Yue Hanxing have a happy event, I don't know if what she said is true or not? ”
Han Donglang said impatiently: "What happy events and funerals, what is true or false, I don't understand what you are talking nonsense, human life is a matter of heaven and earth, you still have the heart to joke." Let's listen to the unfortunate news brought by Zuo Anming! ”
Yuwen Si looked at Zuo Anming and asked, "How is Cold Moon Wenyu in her mood?" Look at your nervous appearance, who is the unexpected? ”
Zuo Anming avoided the topic and said: "It's nothing, Hanyue Wenyu proposed to hire someone to go down the well to salvage the body ashore, so that he could accurately identify who the deceased was?" Does he make love dead or alive? What's next? And said that silver is not a problem, as long as it is not ridiculously high, he can bear it, but Linglang, who knows water, needs us to help him find it, I think write a notice and paste it on the streets of Qionglong City, so that they can come and sign up for the salvage, what do you think? ”
Yuwen Si looked at Han Donglang and didn't speak, Han Donglang said loudly: "The way is okay, but the amount of money has not been decided, how to write it on the notice?" You should explain to Hanyue Wenyu that the body was successfully recovered, whether it was from his family or not, and gave the salvage person fifty taels of silver, or one hundred taels of silver, or more. If the corpse is washed away by the water, and there is no gain, the same amount of money to be paid, and how much to pay him, all these need to be discussed. Either you go to the street and ask Hanyue Wenyu to come to the official office, what's the matter? ”
Lao Su hurriedly said: "Donglang is reasonable, Zuo Anming will go to Hanyue Wenyu's house again, are you willing?" ”
"You don't have to work hard, I'm here." Hanyue Wenyu at the door said sadly.
Yu Wensi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his wrist and said, "Look at the sadness and grief on your face, the corpse hasn't been seen yet, let's relax first!" Han Donglang just said that the question of how much money is there, I want to discuss it with you. ”
"I stood at the door and heard it, so I will do it according to your wishes, no matter who the dead who is salvaged is, I will pay in full according to the order, and now I ask you to hurry up and do this, my inner man cried like a tearful person, I don't think about tea and dinner, I am afraid that she will fall ill if it is delayed for another day!"
"Okay, let's go write an announcement and let the people in Qionglong City sign up for the salvage, and choose whoever has the best water nature? If an accident occurs, he is responsible, and the stakes must be said first. ”
Hanyue Wenyu shook his head and said: "Don't bother to write an announcement, someone has already come to my house and asked for the body to be salvaged, he is a strong swimmer, he will deal with water all year round, and there will be no accidents, now I want to ask you to send a few people from the official office to Hanshan Temple together, and stand by the big well to guard, how about it?" ”
"Of course, thank you for your cooperation, let's go, where is that person?" Yu Wensi said loudly.
"Wait at my house, then I'll go home and take him directly to Hanshan Temple, you go straight to Hanshan Temple, and wait by the well."
"Okay, then you can go quickly!" Yu Wensi waved his hand.
Yu Wensi led Zuo Anming, Hua Jingjun, and Guang Changle in the official office, plus Lao Suo and Han Donglang, and the six of them hurriedly ran towards Hanshan Temple.
Before they reached the well, they saw a large number of people gathered around the well, waiting to see the dead man salvage. In less than a meal, Hanyue Wenyu led a young Ling Lang in pants over.
Yu Wensi looked him up and down, took him to a cypress tree, and muttered in a low voice: "The future is terrifying, this task is arduous, and there are many auspicious ones, look at you are only about twenty years old!" More than eight feet tall, strong, how about the water? This well is full of terrible stories, I don't know if you have heard of it, how deep and cold the water is in this well, everyone does not know, but now the weather is still hot, it will not freeze you young and strong! ”
Ling Lang said with a full spirit: "I can swim in the canal, just a well of water, no problem." I don't know how deep it is, but it won't be bottomless! ”
Han Donglang nodded and said: "That's right, the sea is very deep, but there are also seabed ones, not to mention a well, of course there is a bottom!" Are you going to go down the well now? Have you had your stomach full? It takes a certain amount of strength. ”
Ling Lang said loudly: "I know, I have eaten at the richest man's house, if I don't have anything else, I will go down the well." ”
Han Donglang grabbed his shoulders and said, "There is one more thing to say, does your father and mother know?" If something happens, we are not responsible, and Hanyue Wenyu is not responsible, has he explained the stakes to you? ”
Ling Lang stretched out his finger and said: "My father and mother are here, just stand by the well to cheer me on, you can rest assured, in fact, this well is not deep, I once made a bet with someone to go down, and earned back the first fifty taels of silver, this time I dare to take the order!" You wait to identify the corpse. Come here. ”
Han Donglang said with relief: "Okay, pray for you, wait for the good news." Be safe. ”
"Are you afraid that there are water ghosts at the bottom of the well? Look at you with a frightened look, as if you are going down the well, don't be afraid, come with me, stand by the well and wait. Ling Lang waved his hand. He ran over and went into the well, and slowly went down with his hands on the edge of the well.
Ling Lang's father and mother watched their son go down, and hurriedly knelt beside the well to pray to the sky, and everyone knelt down one after another, praying that the sky would have eyes and successfully salvage the body and climb up. There was a monk who lit three sticks of incense next to him, saying that he could estimate the time and comfort everyone at the same time.
The crowd knelt down in silence, and the audience fell silent, so quiet that you could hear the leaves falling to the ground, the sound of people breathing clearly, and the beating of some people's hearts. The people kneeling by the well turned their heads from time to time to look at the well, and the air seemed to solidify, and the incense ash fell to the ground, and the birds swept past the treetops, and from time to time wailed, so that people looked back to look closely. The sound of the little insects singing in the ground could be heard very clearly, and everyone's mood suddenly became heavy.
Suddenly, Ling Lang's father shouted: "Come up, come up, in less than a stick of incense, I Ling Lang carried the sack on his shoulder, and slowly came up with both hands clutching the crack in the wall." Spread your heads out and don't block the light. ”
Everyone's eyes were staring at the mouth of the well, and in less than a cup of tea, Ling Lang climbed to the edge of the well, and Han Donglang hurriedly squeezed in and took the sack.
Hanyue Wenyu hurriedly squeezed forward and asked, "Open the seal directly here, I came with scissors and rope, and Yuwensi also came to help!" The well water is cold, the corpse is not rotten or smelly, why are you standing on the periphery? Come in and help! ”
Lao Su pulled Yu Wensi and squeezed forward, and everyone gathered around, all eyes fixed on the sack. Han Donglang took the scissors in Hanyue Wenyu's hand, slowly cut open the mouth of the sack, tore open the mouth of the bag, and suddenly the golden light flashed in front of him, reached in and touched the hard erection, and simply poured it out, it turned out to be a bag of more than a dozen gold and stones put together, and there were no dead people.
Han Donglang stood up and stared at Ling Lang and asked, "You saw that what was salvaged was gold, not dead people, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to speak up." But our mission is not completed, and the agreed content is not in it, can you go down and salvage again? What are the requirements? ”
Ling Lang hurriedly said: "No one thought that someone would hide the gold at the bottom of the well, according to my opinion, the gold is about 20 catties, and the stone weighs more than 50 catties, I will take half of the gold, give half to the Pingjiang Prefecture Government Office, and then go down to salvage once, at most twice, and the remuneration will be paid in full according to the original agreement, how about it?" ”
Ling Lang's father and mother said in unison: "Jin Zheshan, we don't agree, the gold was salvaged by you, and it should all belong to our Jin family. ”
