What did Steward Joe see?

Xing Ruyi followed, and stopped. When I looked up, I saw a white silk flying in front of Steward Qiao's eyes and landing on a branch not far away.

It was an old tree that was about to die, and because it had no leaves, it was impossible to tell what kind of tree it was for a while. But the body of the tree is black, and there is a yin aura. No wonder, the closer you get to this abandoned yard, the colder it gets.

"Didn't you say that the merchant lady was killed by habitual stealing? Since it was covered to death, where did this white silk come from? Could it be that there is more than one deceased person in this courtyard? ”

"Husband...... It's Madame! ”

Steward Qiao whispered, and fell to his knees with weak legs.

"Madame, is that you? Are you back? ”

Madam?

Steward Qiao obviously did not call his own wife, but the lady in this village.

The lady in the Zhuangzi is Qiao Yun'er's mother.

When the owner of Qiao Zhuang was narrating, he only said that Qiao Yun'er's mother was gone, but as for how she was not there, he did not explain. Listening to the meaning of this Qiao steward, it seems to be hanging his neck. The reason why this white silk remained in the courtyard was because of Mrs. Qiao's ghost.

"It shouldn't be that your wife has returned, but that your wife has never left at all. Steward Joe, can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Xing Ruyi walked up to the dead tree and looked at the white silk hanging on it. The white silk swayed in the wind, and in a trance, she looked like a woman in white.

"Madame! Madam! Steward Qiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice in succession.

Bai Aya suddenly flew up, first landing in front of Steward Qiao, and then wrapped around his neck.

Looking at Qiao in charge again, in the panic, there was obviously fear. The fear is nothing else, but the expression that a person can only show when he is on the verge of death.

"Mrs. Joe, don't!" Xing Ruyi spoke urgently: "I know that you must have an unfulfilled wish to stay in the world. But the underworld doesn't care about the things of the yang, it's easy for you to kill him, but it also stains yourself with a lot of evil obstacles. If you go to the underworld in the future, you will inevitably be remembered by the Immortal King, and you will suffer more in vain. Don't worry, I've come here to investigate the truth. Whether it is you or the merchant's wife, if there are grievances and grievances, I will help you get them back. ”

Bai Aya, who was originally wrapped around Steward Qiao's neck, first loosened a little, and then quickly tightened.

Steward Qiao's eyes widened instantly, and then his eyes rolled up, and his two hands reached his neck and began to pick them hard. He was trying to save himself, trying to rip the white silk that tried to strangle him from his neck. But Bai Aya is a ghost, Qiao is an ordinary mortal, how can he fight against a ghost.

"I kindly advised you, but you didn't listen." Xing Ruyi walked up to Steward Qiao in three or two steps: "Since Madam is so persistent, don't blame Ruyi." Right now, this steward Qiao can't die. ”

As he spoke, a faint blue flame ignited from his fingertips. As soon as the flame approached Bai Aya, Bai Aya trembled.

"Since I promised to help you get justice, I won't be untrustworthy, if you are persistent, I don't mind sending you to the underworld to report now."

The white silk wrapped around Steward Qiao's neck trembled again and slowly loosened.

After Bai Aya floated away, Steward Qiao fell to the ground all of a sudden, and it took a long time to regain his strength.

"You are the steward here, but your mistress wants your life, which shows that your mistress did not die of natural causes. You are a wise man, and you know what I mean. I'll give you time to think about it, and if you want to save your life, you'd better tell you everything you know. ”

"I-"

Steward Qiao looked up, his face still pale.

"If you want to be loyal to the owner, I will not stop you."

Xing Ruyi took half a step back, and Bai Aya, who had already floated away, actually floated back. Steward Qiao subconsciously covered his neck, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Madame's death has nothing to do with me."

"Since it has nothing to do with you, why does your wife want your life?"

"This ...... I don't know about this. ”

"Even now, you still want to deceive. It's just that I'm nosy. Fang Cai's words, just when I didn't say it. If Madame Jo wants revenge, come. ”

Xing Ruyi said, and took another half step back.

"Nope! No, no, no! I said, I said it all. ”

People are selfish, especially when life is at stake. Although Steward Qiao is the steward of the Qiao family, when he is alive and dead, of course, he thinks about protecting himself.

"Say it."

Xing Ruyi originally wanted to find a clean place to sit, but the courtyard had been abandoned for too long, and it was dirty everywhere. She could only walk up to the fox and lean her whole body against the fox.

"Sleepy?"

"It's not that I'm sleepy, it's the little fox that's sleepy."

"Then let's take a break."

The fox hugged Xing Ruyi lightly. Xing Ruyi leaned on the fox's arms, but his eyes fell on Steward Qiao.

"Madame, she was forced to hang herself."

Steward Joe sat down on the ground, staring at the dead tree with stunned eyes.

"I also persuaded that day. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are 100 days a day, even if the lady does not listen to the advice, the owner only needs to lock her up temporarily. When the matter passes, no matter how much the lady tosses, no one will believe it. ”

"Things? It's something to do with the merchant couple, right? It seems that the death of the merchant lady and the disappearance of the merchant are not as simple as your lord said. If Steward Qiao wants to say something, please say it clearly, if you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter, it's just rotten in your stomach. You talked so headless for a long time, and we didn't understand it, and you wasted saliva when you said it.

Fox, let's go, we don't care about this Qiao family's affairs. ”

"It's just something that has nothing to do with us." The fox hugged Xing Ruyi and turned around: "You don't care, but it's just what I want." You know, I'm worried you're tired. ”

"Madame, wait a minute, I say, I'll say it all." Steward Joe hurriedly got up from the ground.

"If you waste your last chance, don't blame us."

"It is true that the merchant and his wife temporarily live in our Zhuangzi, and it is also true that the merchant lady has a face-changing grass in his hands, and the face-changing grass does have the magical effect of changing the face and making the woman more and more beautiful, and my young lady did have a birthmark on her face. None of this is a lie. ”

"But the owner of your family lied about the death of the merchant's wife."

"Madame guessed?"

"The owner of your family is the same as you, even if I am stupid, I know that he has something to hide. Go ahead and let me hear what your owner has done. ”

"The owner of my family is not a bad person, he is just a businessman. A businessman, when he sees something like a face-changing grass, how can he not be moved. On that day, the owner of my family was very courteous to the couple, and indeed sincerely asked them to take out the change of face grass, and the two sides cooperated and sought common interests. As a result, the merchant refused to agree.

The owner was also blinded by interests, so he did the things that followed. Afterwards, he regretted it very much, but it was a big mistake, and even if it was too late. ”

"What did your owner do?"

"On that day, the merchant's wife was a little unwell, and the merchant went out to sell goods as usual. I accompanied my old man to visit the backyard, originally thinking that I would discuss it with the merchant lady again to see if there was a chance for cooperation to take a turn for the better.

I called out the door, but there was no answer, so I pushed the door open.

The merchant lady hadn't gotten up yet, and when she heard footsteps, she got up slightly, and when she saw that it was us, she hurriedly pulled up the quilt and covered herself. I was standing behind the owner and just glanced at it. The merchant lady was probably dyed with the wind cold, and the original snow-white skin was also dyed red, and the green silk was hanging down, which was even better than in the past.

The owner was stunned for a while, and then let me out. ”

"Did the owner of your family do something immoral?"

The descriptions that Qiao Guan made Xing Ruyi faintly aware of what he wanted to express. Sure enough, Steward Joe nodded.

"The merchant lady was originally good-looking, and her appearance in illness was even more lovely. The owner of the farm...... He was probably also deluded by ghosts, so he would do something like that in that situation. I originally wanted to stop it, but I'm a person in charge, how can I persuade my master. So...... So I can only watch...... Oh no, it should be listening to things happen.

At first, I could still hear the merchant's voice scolding. Eventually, the voice faded away. After a while, the owner of the farmer ran out of the house in disheveled clothes, and with a little panic on his face, he told me that the merchant lady was dead, and asked me to find a way to cover it up.

I am the steward of the village and the slave of the owner, and I will do whatever the owner says. When I walked into the room, I saw the merchant lady lying on the bed with her eyes wide open, and her neck was ...... I didn't ask the owner, but I guess that the owner was worried that the voice of the merchant's lady would be heard, so he choked her neck with his hand and covered her mouth and nose when he acted, and as a result, he covered her to death.

I was also panicked at the time, and after dealing with it in a hurry, I hurriedly took the old man out of the backyard. As a result, I ran into Mrs. ”

"Mrs. Joe?"

"Yes, it's my wife. The lady asked at that time, and was dragged back to the main house by the old man in a rage. After that, I didn't see my wife go out until the day of her accident. ”

"What about the merchant? How did the merchant disappear, didn't he also be harmed by you? ”

"Sort of."

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?"

"The merchant lady died in Zhuangzi, and this matter can't be covered up no matter how much you hide it. When someone is dead, there must be someone who has something to do. The owner of the village thought of a way, and secretly bought some people, saying that the merchant had a dispute with his own lady, and killed the merchant lady.

The merchant didn't leave alone, he was arrested by the government. I heard that the sentence was sentenced, but for some reason, before the execution, the person disappeared. Even now, there is no one alive and no corpse dead. When Madame came, she should have seen that our owner's defense was still relatively tight. In fact, these were all arranged after the merchant disappeared. However, it has been several years, and I haven't seen the merchant come back. After the death of the merchant's wife, the young lady had a serious illness, and after she recovered from the illness, she became what she is now.

The owner of the village also issued a gag order, ordering no one in Qiaojiazhuang to mention the events of the year. It's just that...... It's just that the truth can't be covered up after all. ”
