The Guo family lives at the bottom of the cross slope outside Hongjiazhuang, the location is relatively remote, Zhao Xicai took Qin Lin and his party to visit, and met the villagers on the way to ask that they were relatives in the city, and they came to play in Nanshan outside the village.

Two months ago, when Meimei went home to save his relatives, the Guo family's courtyard was very lively, and the race was like a concubine returning to her hometown; But now this small yard seems cold and boring, a leper dog sleeps lazily at the door, three or four chickens are lying listlessly, chicken feces and dog droppings are not cleaned, and the walls are hung with cobwebs, and the mildew is surging to the sky.

Qin Lin was silent, and the group avoided the and dog feces on the ground, and cautiously walked into the courtyard.

Zhao Xicai stepped forward and pushed the door of the hall open, brought Guo Meimei's parents out, and moved a few benches to invite Qin Lin and the others to sit down.

Guo's father looks honest, he can't make a fut with three bars, and Guo's mother is completely the opposite, with a thin and shaved face, a pointed chin, and her eyes are spinning, and her gaze slips from this body to that body, and she doesn't stop for a moment.

Qin Lin showed the waist card of the Jinyi Guard to try out the hundred households, and as soon as he said a few words, Guo's mother suddenly rolled down from the bench and splashed all over the ground:

"Oh my God, there is only one daughter, who was murdered by you, and you come to ask this and that, what evil have we done! Hengzhu, our family is the bitter master, not the murderer, you don't go to catch the murderer to force the bitter master......"

Qin Lin frowned, he was the worst at dealing with this kind of shrew-type aunt.

However, A, B, and C followed Miss Xu to smash the Qinglou and hit the Jiyuan in Nanjing, and they had already had experience in dealing with this old mother, so Xiao Ding stopped Guo's father, and B and C lifted Guo's mother from the ground left and right.

Sure enough, she was scared of being stunned, although Guo's mother could sprinkle, she couldn't help the four Erlenzi of A, B, C and D, so she was dizzy, and she stopped shouting when she let go, only touching her face in a daze.

Qin Lin made a look and asked Zhao Xicai to persuade the Guo family.

Muttering for a while, Zhao Xicai turned around and looked helpless: "The Guo family said that the Zongren Mansion had come, and after inquiry, they gave twenty taels of silver, so they didn't tell others about their daughter......"

Qin Lin really wanted to slap Guo's mother's two ear scrapers: Damn, I really fell into the eyes of money, Lao Tzu came to avenge your daughter, do you still want money? It's not Lao Tzu who drove your daughter to death! If there is really a mother, there must be a daughter, Qingdai's aunt said that the Guo family loves money like life and is despised, and she is really right!

After thinking about it, he was helpless, seeing that the Guo family was a victim and it was quite pitiful, Qin Lin took five taels of silver and asked Zhao Xicai to hand it over to Guo's mother, and told her: "These five taels of silver are counted as helping you two to support the elderly, if you provide useful clues, you can give another fifteen taels." ”

Guo's mother took the silver from Zhao Xicai's hand, her eyes gave out light, put it in her mouth and bit it, and then looked at the light before she put it in her arms, and suddenly sighed again: "Alas, if my good girl doesn't leave, where do you care about your five taels of silver?" How many outsiders and rich families want to marry my family, and the good girl can't look down on it, and the Taoist priest said that he wants to be the life of the princess......"

Qin Lin endured his anger and waited for her to finish the nonsense, and then slowly asked her what Meimei said last time she went home to save her relatives.

Speaking of provincial relatives, Guo's mother immediately became eyebrows fluttering, immersed in the infinite memories of the scenery: "That's amazing, it's a mile back from the official ship of the palace, the two fathers-in-law led the way, and the four captains then supported it, and when I got home, the Zhuang people who came to see it were standing outside the courtyard, and the crowds were ......."

Qin Lin was worried about whether Guo Meimei had an affair with someone outside the palace, in that case, the scope of investigation would be too large, and when he heard that the provincial relatives had arranged eunuchs and lieutenants to follow, this worry could be ignored.

I heard Guo's mother babbling and mentioning that Meimei once said that there was a nobleman in Jingwang's Mansion who appreciated her and would soon climb a high branch or something like that, Qin Lin hurriedly asked: "Didn't Meimeiti mention the specific identity of the nobleman?" ”

Guo's mother slapped her hand and said dejectedly: "Ask her, why don't you say it!" ”

Then she looked left and right, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I guess it's the prince, the future prince!" Otherwise, why does the Taoist priest say that my good girl is a princess? Although he has no name in the yang world, he has been pregnant with his child, and he is also married in the underworld! ”

Everyone present was covered in chills when they heard this, their daughter was dead, and they were still dreaming of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and Guo Meimei's death was afraid that Guo's mother would have to bear a lot of responsibility.

Qin Lin didn't expect to get an answer directly from Guo's mother, after all, it was the Ming Dynasty at this time, this kind of violation of etiquette and religion could even be regarded as a matter of bad morals, and Guo Meimei was unlikely to talk too carefully to his parents.

"So, did Meimei bring anything back from the palace?"

"Hey, the old man of the Zongren Mansion also asked, are you afraid that my good girl will steal the things of the palace?" Guo's mother took out the bits and pieces from the house: "Well, that's all, they are all rewards from the master, but they are not brought back privately." ”

Qin Lin inspected it, but it was just a few small silver bills, small gold bills, some sandalwood, sumac, borneol, and two satins, which were worth a lot, but they were all very common things in the palace, and there were no fan, corner combs, makeup boxes and the like love tokens, which were convenient to find the source.

Gold, silver, bills and other things come from a wide range of sources, and after a long time, they must have been touched by many people, and they can't find out their fingerprints, perhaps the only help for Yu to solve the case is to confirm that Guo Meimei is indeed very favored in Jingwangfu, and he has received a lot of rewards.

In the case of the interruption of peripheral clues, the post-mortem is an inevitable choice.

As expected, as soon as she put forward the request for an autopsy in the coffin, Guo's mother put on a posture of splashing and rolling, but seeing that A, B, C and Ding were eyeing her, she didn't dare in the end.

"Official, it's been less than ten days since I entered the ground, and I pity my good girl for not blinking an eye......" Guo's mother stared at Qin Lin with blank eyes.

Everyone sighed together, this family is really incurable.

Qin Lin took another twenty taels of silver to her, and said in his heart that Guo Meimei had such a mother, and she died unjustly.

Guo's mother immediately turned her face: "Official, I'll take you there...... Actually, I also want you to find the real murderer, which the eyebrows so badly. ”

"The eyebrows are all in the ground, how can I go to open the coffin again?" Guo's father pulled his wife.

Just when everyone thought he was going to object, they were thinking about what to say, whether it was hard or soft.

Who knew that Guo's father laughed twice, and said: "Isn't it said in broad daylight to let others chew their tongues?" Let's go back in the evening. ”

Qin Lin: I'm down!

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

On the remote back mountain of Hongjia Village, there are few pedestrians during the day, and the night is even more bleak and lonely, the wild grass grows waist-deep, I don't know what is running straight through it, only the owl on the treetops shoots a faint light in the eyes in the dark, and flutters its wings from time to time.

Qin Lin and his entourage carried torches and walked here along the mountain road, because Guo Meimei was unmarried and **, corrupted Gangchang, and was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, so the Guo family had to bury her in the barren mountains and mountains.

Although it was a summer night, the mountains were extraordinarily cold at night, the mountain wind was blowing, and Qing Dai only felt that there seemed to be something staring at her in the dark, and her heart was beating non-stop.

The powerful hand pulled her into the crook of her arm, felt Qin Lin's body temperature, and could even clearly feel his heartbeat, Qing Dai suddenly felt less cold, not so scared.

The four daughters of A, B, C and D held their heads high and didn't care, Lu Fatzi was full of expectations that a certain beauty could fall into his arms softly, but he had goosebumps on his own body, and the four were still high-spirited.

"Think we're scared?" The corners of A, B, C, and Ding's mouths were upturned, and when they were in Nanjing, Miss Xu led a large group of men and horses to camp in the field for the night, and they had long been accustomed to it.

Finally, Guo's mother took them to the cemetery of Meimei, and after doing these things, A, B, C, and Ding were not afraid at all, so they put the torch on the ground, and danced the hoe to dig.

Lu Yuanzhi also wanted to show it, picked up the hoe and dug for a while, the speed was much slower than the four female soldiers, but he was so tired that his face was covered with sweat, and he fell to the side and panted, and then looked at the four who were still in full swing, and the fat man had to rely on the meat on his face and pretend that nothing had happened.

Finally, the hoe of the female soldier touched the coffin board, and there was a thud, and she knew that the coffin had been dug up.

Guo's mother couldn't bear to look at her dead daughter, so she quietly walked to the other side.

A, B, C, and D dug open the soil, tied a rope to the coffin, and the four of them dragged it out together, and then took out the nails on the coffin lid together, and when there was a shout, they pried the coffin lid open.

Qin Lin walked up with a torch and uncovered the quilt for the burial, only to see that his flower-like face had become black and ugly, the weather was very hot, and the corpse had begun to [***], emitting a foul smell, which only made people feel hideous and terrifying, and there was no way to make him recall the peach blossom eyes and a little charming Guo Meimei who was next to Zhu Youfan.

The corpse swelled because of [***], and the slender figure before his death also became bloated, Qin Lin had to admire Guo's mother's foresight, as a relative, it is better not to look at this look, and it can still leave a good impression in the memory, not the terrible scene now.

Qin Lin looked at the surface of the corpse and found no obvious scars, so he continued to lift the quilt down.

The swollen corpse had already stretched out the shroud he was wearing, and Qin Lin noticed that there seemed to be something between the legs of the corpse, so he used a knife to pick open the pants there.

Qing Dai had already avoided and didn't dare to look, and the nervous Lu Fatzi and the four female soldiers held back their nausea and always stood beside them, but at this time they finally couldn't help it, and shouted in a trembling voice at the same time: "Mom~ Ghost, ghost mother pubic fetus!" ”

It turned out that after the pants were torn, between the legs of the corpse was actually a dead baby about four months old!

Guo Meimei has already died, how could she give birth to a baby in a coffin? There is a folk legend that after the death of a pregnant daughter, it becomes a ghost mother to raise a yin fetus, and it can scare people into waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, and everyone didn't expect to witness the real ghost mother yin fetus today!

Could it be that Guo Meimei was pregnant and died, and she was deeply resentful, and she had become a powerful ghost, raising a yin fetus with a ferocious spirit?
