Chapter 140: A Trip to Quanzhou
Looking at the woman in front of her, such an out-of-control appearance, I knew that she was definitely not lying, and it was also the woman's misfortune to meet such a family, but she made the whole thing even more unfortunate.
"Why didn't you report to the police?" Someone outside asked.
"Do you think I don't want to? If I reported to the police, they would arrest me and threaten to kill my parents.
It's nothing for me to die, it's a cheap life, but it's really not easy for my parents to be so old, and I don't want them to end up like me.
I really can't help it, I know it's a capital offense to be like this now.
I can't live anymore, I just hope that this incident will not implicate my family, and that they will not be hurt like me, my parents are already old, and I am the only child, I am afraid that no one will honor them in the future. ”
Saying that, the woman pulled the hairpin off her head, and then wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Chu Jiao's eyes.
"It's her fault that she kills people, and it's not wrong to pay for her life by killing people, but I think that after all, this matter is the fault of the Wang family first, and the matter can also be considered."
Listening to Chu Jiao's commanding tone, the county lord was very unhappy
"Who are you who still dare to command me, don't you know that I am the official here?" Chu Jiao heard him say this, and took out his token, and when he saw the token, the old man was startled, and he looked back and forth several times before he recognized that this gold medal was a holy thing, and he quickly knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow.
"Get up, I just want to know the truth of the matter, I didn't expect that you, an official, are simply good and evil, and want to embezzle my property, you are simply not worthy of being a parent official, do you know?"
The old man was frightened, his body kept shaking, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"Please, give me a chance to mend my ways, I won't be like this in the future, please, please."
Listening to his pleading voice, Chu Jiao did not waver.
"Let me tell you, this world is the emperor's world, we are all subjects of the emperor, we just just want to fill our own pockets, how can we do anything big? What you did is unforgivable. ”
"Pull him down and beat him with twenty boards, and that's all it takes, but this woman is in her house, and she still has elderly parents to take care of, and she will be released after two or three years of observation."
As for the Wang family, since there is no one left, all his family's property will be confiscated, but if I let me know that you are filling your pockets, I will definitely kill you, you know that this gold medal can be cut first and then played, right? ”
When the old man heard this, he was even more frightened, and quickly nodded yes.
"I don't dare anymore, I will definitely put the people first in everything in the future."
Chu Jiao continued on the road after dealing with these things, but Red Sleeves was still a little worried in her heart.
"Miss, do you think he'll change his mind like this? I think he will still be so virtuous in the future. ”
Chu Jiao didn't care very much, don't worry: "Isn't there Yao Chi?" Yao Chi must know about today's matter, he didn't interfere because he didn't want to interfere with me too much, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about this matter.
Now that he knows, I don't need to say more about the rest, he will take care of it himself. ”
When Red Sleeves heard this, he smiled: "Still Miss, you have a way, we have been out for two or three days, I don't know the prince..."
Now when the prince is mentioned, the smile on Chu Jiao's face is gone, and the red sleeves don't dare to mention it again, for fear that Chu Jiao, who will be provoked, will continue to be unhappy.
The two continued on the road to Quanzhou.
Quanzhou is a place with very good customs and customs, the scenery here is very beautiful, there are many places to visit, but Chu Jiao is new to here.
I didn't know much about it, but I didn't expect that as soon as the two entered the city, they met a person.
"The two of you are here to enjoy the scenery of Quanzhou, I, but here is a know-it-all, I know everything, why don't you go with me, just a little bit of silver, I can lead the way for the two, Quanzhou's food, drink and play!"
Chu Jiao looked at the man standing in front of him, he was fifteen or sixteen, and he looked very clever, not like a bad person.
Chu Jiao looked him up and down for a while, and then said, "Okay, then you lead the way, I want to see you and where to take me." ”
"It's getting late tonight, I think I'll take the two of you to live first, there's an inn in front, it's good."
Red Sleeves can put his mind at ease now, and he no longer wants to live in a farmer's house, lest he make some troubles.
When the three of them were eating together, Chu Jiao knew the boy's name, his name was Jiang Huai.
Because he knows more about the terrain in this area, he often waits for people to come over at the city gate, and then takes people to play and eat with a few people.
"I don't know how beautiful this girl is, can I get married?"
Seeing Jiang Huai's smiling appearance, Red Sleeves was angry.
"Our young lady is already married, don't think about it, I don't look down on you like this."
Jiang Huai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and touched his nose.
"I'll just ask, why do you smell so much gunpowder."
Red Sleeves was a little embarrassed.
After dinner, they rested for the day and went out into the street the next day.
Jiang Huai took them to a quiet place, where there are all woods, and there are mountains, looking at the scenery is good, but Jiang Huai turned around but disappeared, and later he said to let them wander around here, and come to pick them up at night.
Chu Jiao and Red Sleeves waited until dusk and didn't see Jiang Huai come back, so they found their way back to the place where they lived at the beginning.
But at this time, she saw Jiang Huai come back with the other two women, and went up to the attic together, and there were people talking and laughing, Chu Jiao was a little puzzled.
Jiang Huai smiled a little embarrassedly, these are my two friends, I happened to meet, so I said hello.
Chu Jiao nodded, and didn't say anything, after all, this is someone's private matter At night, Chu Jiao didn't sleep so hard before, and her mood was a little better than before, but she still remembered those things occasionally, so she couldn't sleep after turning it over.
At this time, Chu Jiao suddenly heard a slight noise in the room next to her, she thought that she had heard it wrong, but she held her breath and listened carefully, and found that this subtle sound was real.
She wanted to get up and grow her roots to see what was going on, but she was afraid of startling the snakes, so she could only look out through the paper window in the dark, and she saw that there seemed to be someone moving in the opposite room, and someone was moving, because it was not real.
So Chu Jiao wasn't sure, but after a while, there was no movement inside, and when she went out to see if there was any movement, she thought it was okay, so she went to rest by herself after a while, but she still told Red Sleeves about it.
Red Sleeves smiled after hearing this, and said: "Miss, you must be in a bad mood these days, where do you listen to any sound, it's just that you think too much." ”
Chu Jiao didn't think so, and when she waited for the next day, she asked the shopkeeper.
But the shopkeeper didn't say anything, she remembered that the two girls who came up with Jiang Huai yesterday lived next door to her.
So she asked Jiang Huai where the two girls were yesterday, and Jiang Huai smiled indifferently: "If they have something to do, they will go back first, and they didn't plan to stay here for a long time, don't worry about that, I'll take you to a new place today." ”
Although Chu Jiao's mouth was hard, she always felt that something was wrong: "I'm tired today, let's go out another day, I'll go back and rest first." ”
Saying that, Chu Jiao walked back, and Jiang Huai didn't force it anymore when he heard this, but just went out on his own.
Red Sleeves saw that Chu Jiao in the room was ready to go, and she couldn't help asking, "Miss, aren't we going out today?" It's all dressed up. ”
Chu Jiao frowned and looked into the distance: "We are going out, I always feel that there is something wrong with that Jianghuai, we should play today, and follow him out for a walk." ”
Red sleeves saw a trace of interest in Chu Jiao's eyes, it seemed that the young lady suspected that there was something wrong with this Jianghuai, she didn't say anything, and had already tiptoed to keep up with Chu Jiao's pace.
They have been following Jiang Huaihuai, only watching him continue to solicit guests at the city gate, which is nothing, after all, their business is not done, and it is normal for him to do other people's business.
It's just that Jiang Huai smiled and took the people back and then went to the city gate and brought the people back, so that Chu Jiao, who went back and forth, felt that something was wrong.
Can he bring so many guests? Besides, she remembered one of the most important questions, when she was at the door, Jiang Huai said that she could just give some money, but Jiang Huai never asked.
Later, I didn't ask, these guests Jianghuai also didn't look at money, as if he wasn't for money, so why could he solicit guests here?
This is just too suspicious.
Chu Jiao is going to get a hint of conspiracy here.
Thinking so, she continued to follow Jiang Huai, only to watch Jiang Huai take people out to play, and then bring back a whole day at night.
Chu Jiao and Red Sleeves followed and ran several places, so tired that they couldn't do it, and when they came back in the evening, Red Sleeves was already covered in sweat.
Red Sleeves said with some grievances: "Miss, it's you thinking too much, I don't have anything abnormal when I look at him." ”
Chu Jiao stopped talking, she always felt that her intuition was not wrong, but she couldn't see anything wrong.
"Forget it, you go to bed early, I'll think about it again." Seeing this, Red Sleeves couldn't say anything, so he could only sleep first.
Chu Jiao lay down, recalling the scene of her encounter with Jiang Huai, Jiang Huai seemed to bring back all women, and they all had a common characteristic, that is, they were young and had a certain appearance.
That alone doesn't prove anything.
