Chapter 158: Lotus Fish Sachet (8)

A man's gasp!

Mama Zhou's feet stopped.

Chun'er's in-laws passed away shortly after Chun'er passed the door, and Chun'er's dead ghost husband should be on his way to the underworld right now. Who is the wheezing sound of the man in Chun'er's house?

Xing Ruyi felt the anger from Mama Zhou, and obviously, she recognized this man as Chun'er's mistress. She was angry, not only for Chun'er's unruly observance, but also for Chun'er to fool Zhou Yu. She believes that Chun'er has failed Zhou Yu.

Thinking of this, Mama Zhou no longer hesitated, but walked over with the wheezing sound.

The sound came from the master's bedroom. Mama Zhou pushed the door open, took three steps and walked into the bedroom.

In front of her, there was no vivid picture of what she imagined, but a hand, a hand sticking out of the bed tent.

At the head of the bed, the oil lamp was still on, and the hand was lying in the dim light and shadow, looking a little scary.

Inside, the strange smell is getting stronger and stronger, and it strongly stimulates people's taste buds.

Mama Zhou finally understood what that wheezing voice was all about.

She took a deep breath and, with very light steps, walked cautiously to the bed, tearing the bed curtain open with one hand. Sure enough, she saw the man, the sick ghost husband of Chun'er, who was always dying when he heard about it, as if he was going to report to the underworld anytime and anywhere, but he never died.

He had a rope around his neck, his eyes half-wide and trying to breathe. His eyes widened slightly at the sound, and when he saw a strange old woman standing in front of the bed, he opened his mouth and let out a vague syllable of "help" from his throat.

Mama Zhou looked at the man motionlessly.

It's good that he's still alive.

If he lives, the young master will not be dragged into a boring life lawsuit.

Mama Zhou took another half step forward, and the sick ghost's hand suddenly fell. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the hands just hit Mama Zhou's body.

"Save ...... Save me. ”

Mama Zhou's eyes flashed.

She stared at the sick ghost's sallow face in the light and shadow, leaned down and asked, "Do you want to live?" ”

The sick man nodded vigorously, and the rope around his neck seemed to move.

Mama Zhou stared at the rope, her eyes narrowed.

"It's tiring to be alive, isn't it? Especially sick people like you. Alive, you are not only affected by yourself, but also by the people around you. It's dead, but it's clean. ”

Mama Zhou said, grabbing the rope around the man's neck with her hand.

"Don't blame me, I have no choice. You are a dead man, and it was your lady who killed you. If you don't die, go find Chun'er. Now, I'll send you on your way. ”

As he spoke, his hands strained violently. The dead ghost's eyes widened suddenly, and his hands and feet began to move, but soon he was dead.

Mama Zhou strangled for a while, then let go of her hand and sat on the edge of the bed panting.

Why did the dead ghost come back from the dead, Mama Zhou didn't know, she only knew that this time he was completely dead, dead, even if Lord Yama was gracious, there was no way for him to come back to life.

……

"Are you alright?"

The fox looked at Xing Ruyi, who was paralyzed in his arms because of exhaustion.

"Leave it to me, it's okay."

"Shemales have different paths, although you are not a demon, but you have nothing to do with the word mortal. If you forcibly inhale Mama Zhou's soul and soul, I am afraid that the heavens will misunderstand you and think that you are going to practice evil arts. When the time comes, I will make another note for you, delaying your cultivation, how can I meet you after a thousand years? If I hadn't met you, how would I have had this adventure today? ”

The fox frowned.

"It's a mess, but it sounds like there's some truth."

"Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, but no one can say what is cause and what is effect. Sometimes when I think about it, this cause and effect is just a circle. ”

Xing Ruyi said and drew a circle.

"Where's Mama Zhou's soul?"

"Sent back."

The fox pointed to Mama Zhou, who was standing on the side, dumbfounded.

"I guessed right, she really met Chun'er's husband. The smell on her body is also Chun'er's husband's. Not only that, but I also saw that it was she who killed Chun'er's husband. She is the real murderer of this husband-seeking case. Chun'er is innocent. ”

"She's not innocent." The fox said coolly.

Xing Ruyi looked up at the fox and echoed: "Indeed, she is not innocent, but ...... She shouldn't have just died. I originally thought that Mama Zhou killed her just for the young master of the Zhou family. Now it seems that she is doing it for herself, in order to cover up the real cause of Chun'er's husband's death. Oh, that's not right, it should be said that she is trying to cover up the fact that she is the murderer, and to make Chun'er her scapegoat. ”

"That's what you think?" The fox asked, in a somewhat strange tone.

Xing Ruyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the fox: "You have something to say, could it be that I have overlooked something?" ”

"Sachet!"

"Sachets?" Xing Ruyi looked at the sachet in his hand: "I know, didn't that Young Master Zhou say it just now, this sachet is a token of his love affair with Chun'er." Mama Zhou is Young Master Zhou's nurse, and she pays close attention to his every move, and she must know about the sachet.

After Chun'er was brought to the yamen, the nurse was worried that the little young master she had brought up would be affected, so she designed to poison her.

On the one hand, he let Chun'er be his scapegoat, and on the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to take away the sachet. Oh, by the way, you can also take the opportunity to get rid of Chun'er, lest she be overwhelmed and always want to enter the door of the Zhou family. Such a good thing that kills three birds with one stone is also worth the risk of the nurse. ”

"It's just a sachet, even if the government finds out, it's just a crime of fornication. Moreover, the Zhou family can completely deny that the sachet was given by Chun'er after leaving the cabinet, and only admit that there was an old relationship before, even if it was Lord Dong, he couldn't find anything. It is a fact that Zhou Yu and Chun'er have an old relationship, and it is suspicious to be in a hurry to cover it up. Mama Zhou is not like such a thoughtless person. ”

Maybe she had a temporary idea, hated Chun'er, and wanted to blame her, so she didn't think about it so much. After the incident, I was uneasy, so I didn't think about it in detail, so I had these things later. ”

"It's not impossible for you to analyze, it's just that Madame just accompanied Mama Zhou to look back at the past situation, Madame can get a glimpse of Mama Zhou's temporary thoughts?"

"No, she thought about saving Chun'er's husband, but for some reason she changed her mind again. My mind was spinning so fast that even if I took her soul, I couldn't know what she really thought. ”

"Chun'er is a married woman, even if her husband dies, it is impossible for her to enter the Zhou family. There are also large families that raise a few outer rooms, even if Mama Zhou doesn't like Chun'er anymore, she will not go to the point of poisoning her. Unless, Chun'er has a reason for her to have to hurt. ”

"The reason for having to kill ......" Xing Ruyi picked up the sachet, "What reason does the nurse of a big family have to murder the wife of a sick ghost, and it is related to this sachet?" It's hard to ......"

Xing Ruyi approached the fox and whispered: "Could it be that this nurse likes Zhou Yu, is jealous of Chun'er, and wants to take this love sachet for herself?" ”

"." The fox tapped on Xing Ruyi's forehead: "I praised you for being smart before, and you have made a slight improvement compared to the past, why do you seem confused about this matter, and your thinking is becoming more and more messy." Forget it, open the sachet. ”

Xing Ruyi found a strand of hair in the open sachet.

Hair was found in the sachet, and Xing Ruyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. This lotus fish sachet is a token of love between men and women, hiding the hair in it, and the picture is auspicious, implying that they are in love with each other, and they grow old together. But when his fingers touched the strand of hair, Xing Ruyi's eyes changedβ€”the hair was taken from the dead man.

"It's not Chun'er's." Xing Ruyi squeezed the sachet tightly: "It's not the amorous young master of the Zhou family." ”

"It's the old man of the Zhou family."

"What?" Xing Ruyi's hand loosened.

"Do you know where the old man of the Zhou family has gone?"

"I just heard the young master of the Zhou family mention that his father was an official in another place, and only he and the nurse were left here."

"It's not unusual to go out to be an official, it's strange that the old man of the Zhou family didn't take Zhou Yu with him."

"What's so strange about that. His father is going to be an official and not to travel, and besides, the young master of the family is also an adult this week, so there is nothing wrong with staying in the mansion to take care of the portal. ”

"Madame is right, but strangely, this is not the old house of the Zhou family. Zhou Yu, as the eldest son of the Zhou family, neither went to work with his father, nor did he stay in the old house of the Zhou family, but was arranged by the master of the Zhou family to live here with the nurse, don't you think this thing is strange? ”

"Maybe it's because the feng shui here is good...... Okay, don't look at me with that look. ”

"The feng shui here is indeed good, but it is not the reason why Zhou Yu and the nurse have lived here for a long time." The fox tugged at the corners of his mouth: "By the way, I'll tell you another secret." Choosing to live here for a long time is not the meaning of the Zhou family, but the meaning of Mama Zhou. Here, although it is not the ancestral home of the Zhou family, it is the hometown of Mama Zhou. Mama Zhou's real surname is Wu, and she was Mrs. Zhou's dowry girl. ”

"And then?"

"Most of the girls who accompany the marriage are the henchmen of the girls before they leave the cabinet."

"I know that." Xing Ruyi nodded: "But there are usually only two choices for all the girls who marry them, one is to become the male host's roommate, if you are lucky and the host's mother is tolerant, you can be a concubine." The other is that he was allowed by the master's mother to be a little bit of a small servant in the house. In this way, even if the girl gets married, she can still stay by her side and take care of herself. Mama Zhou is not only a nurse, but she must have also been married and given birth to children, and nine times out of ten it is the second type. ”

"Mama Zhou has never been married."

"So she's just a title for this nurse?"

"She gave birth to a child, but unfortunately she died."

"That kid can't be the master of the Zhou family, right? No! That's not right. Even if Mama Zhou gave birth to a child this week, even if the child is the master of the Zhou family, the illegitimate son of the Zhou family, what does this have to do with the death of the old man Zhou. Could it be that it was Mama Zhou who murdered the master of the Zhou family, in order to hide people's eyes, so she took Zhou Yu to live here for a long time. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense. ”

"It was the master of the Zhou family who placed them here, and left a message, Zhou Yu will never be allowed to leave this place in his lifetime."
