Zhang Hutou shook like a rattle: "This kind of thing, how can I tell people everywhere." Anyway, can Mingyue still live? This gambler also has a rare truth in his mouth, especially when in the casino. Not only did I not tell anyone else, but I also told those who heard it not to say it, and they all rotted in my stomach. If anyone says it, I will pull out his tongue. I, Zhang Hu, have a ruthless force, and they are also afraid of me. Later, I never heard about Mingyue again. ”

"Then why did you choose to tell us about it at this time?"

"Because you are from the government, because Mingyue is dead, and because I know Zhang Cheng's father and mother too well, I am worried that Mingyue's death is related to what they planned in private. Although Mingyue is virtuous and very filial to Zhang Cheng's father, she is a tough girl, I am worried that Zhang Cheng's father and mother forced her to fail, and she had other ideas, which led to Mingyue's death in our Zhang family ancestral hall. ”

Zhang Hu's words attracted Chang Tai's attention, and after sending Zhang Hu away, Chang Tai took Xiao Shengzi and Xing Ruyi, who took the initiative to join in the fun, and couldn't get rid of it, went to Zhang Cheng's house again.

Because of the strangeness of his daughter-in-law's death, the body was pulled back to the yamen, and when Chang Tai arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Cheng's father was sitting in the courtyard sighing, and his mother was talking to Zhang Cheng in the house. I vaguely heard Zhang Cheng yelling at his mother: "It's all you, it's all your idea." In this world, how can a mother think of a way to give her own son...... Mingyue, I think Mingyue was harmed by you. ”

"Cheng'er, aren't you poking your mother's heart when you say these words? Who is my mother doing that for, not for you? Not for our Zhang family? ”

"For our Zhang family? Let your daughter-in-law conceive another man's child in her belly, can you also say that it is for me and for our Zhang family? Where's my dad? My dad doesn't care about you, how can he let such a ridiculous thing happen? Do you think I'm useless, do you think I'm superfluous in this family? Mingyue has been killed by you, so what am I Zhang Cheng doing while he is still alive? I'm going to die, I'm going to die too, okay? ”

I only heard a sound on the door, and there was an extra man in front of Xing Ruyi. This man, from the perspective of later generations, is still good-looking, about 1.8 meters tall, with long hair in green clothes, and a white and thin face with half a black mask. If nothing else, the black mask conceals a scarred face that has been eaten by dogs.

This scar, if it was left in her time, it could be repaired by going to a few surgeries, but if it was left in the Tang Dynasty, it could only be weakened with the help of Chinese herbal medicine to lighten the scar, and it was impossible to remove all of them.

There is no doctor in Luoyang City who can have such medical skills, and it is even more impossible to have a small place like Nanwang Village, so the scar on Zhang Cheng's face must be more obvious and terrifying than she can imagine. Thinking of this, she quickly took her gaze away from the half of Zhang Cheng's face.

Men have self-esteem, especially this kind of injured man, and it is even more taboo for others to stare at their shortcomings with their eyes.

Because of an argument with his mother, Zhang Cheng opened the door and walked out in a huff. But as soon as the front foot stepped into the yard, the back foot saw three strangers standing in his yard. Two men, both wearing the official uniforms of the government office, a young girl, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, held a small snow-white animal in her hand. Zhang Cheng had been to Luoyang City, and he knew that anyone who could afford such a precious animal was a person with a head, a face and a silver in Luoyang City.

He was a little hesitant and a little puzzled, because he didn't know how these three people could stand together, and how they could suddenly appear in the courtyard of his house.

"Are you Zhang Cheng?"

"Yes, dare to ask ...... this official is"

Chang Tai flashed the waist card on his body, Zhang Cheng's face changed slightly, but he still maintained his calm appearance, and stretched out his hand to invite them to sit down.

Zhang Cheng's mother was originally going to follow her son out, but when she walked to the door, she saw Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi, hesitated, and returned to the house.

"The two officials are here for the affairs of my lady, right?"

"Yes!"

"I don't know how my wife was killed. You can see that this face of mine is ruined. I feel faceless, and I'm afraid of being pointed at when I go out of this door, I haven't been out for a long time. I beg of you, help me catch my murderer. Our family must have been unlucky enough. Now, even my wife has been killed. This is a good home, but it is really scattered. ”

"We will arrest the murderer, but I also hope that you can know everything and say everything."

"What do you mean—"

"What this Chang Master means is that he heard all the words you just said to your mother in the house. Oh, of course, that's not the point, the point is, we only knew about the argument you had with your mother in the house before we came. We are here to verify, and we want to know, about this matter, who else knows, who is the person your mother chose for your mother? This person is most likely the murderer of your lady last night. I say that, do you understand? ”

From the moment Xing Ruyi said the first word, Zhang Cheng's face began to become ugly, and after she finished speaking, her whole face became even more strange.

"I-" Zhang Cheng stood up and sat down. Sit down, stand up again. After enduring it for a while, I finally couldn't help but roar into the house, "Come out!" Tell the official what you did to Mingyue completely. It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing. ”

"It's not your fault." Xing Ruyi hugged the fox, raised his head and comforted Zhang Cheng: "Although I am a woman, I also know what this kind of thing means to you men. You'll never agree to your lady to do such a thing, right? So, you must be unaware of this matter, and your mother just told you about it, right? ”

Zhang Cheng kept a calm face and did not speak.

Over there, Xiao Shengzi saw that Zhang Cheng's mother did not come out, so he walked to the door of the house and invited her out of the house.

Zhang Cheng's mother looked at Zhang Cheng, and then at Chang Tai and them, and after pursing her lips a few times, she still opened her mouth.

"I ...... I really didn't expect things to come to this point. ”

"If you blame yourself and regret it, it's too late to say it now." Xing Ruyi beckoned and asked Zhang Cheng's mother to sit down and say.

"When my family Cheng'er first wanted to marry Shen Mingyue, I didn't agree. My niece, who lived in my house for a while when she was a child, was very friendly with Cheng'er. When she was a little older, she followed my sister to the south, and my brother-in-law was an official in the south.

My sister once wrote to me about Cheng'er, saying that my niece has reached the age suitable for marriage, and she seems to like my family Cheng'er very much, and my sister is worried that her daughter will be wronged if she marries someone else's daughter-in-law, and she also hopes to be able to kiss and kiss. Such a good thing, I am afraid that I can't hope for it, how can I not agree.

But just when I was discussing with my sister to let Cheng'er meet my niece again, Cheng'er met Shen Mingyue, and she didn't marry her. I persuaded him, but he didn't listen at all, and insisted that he would not marry Mingyue. In desperation, I had to agree, so I had to go to the Shen family with his father and father to propose marriage.

I originally thought that Cheng'er was still young, even if he was married, as long as this Mingyue was not as he wanted after marriage, he could still divorce his wife and marry my niece. With such a thought, in the two years that Cheng'er and Shen Mingyue just got married, I tossed a lot in it, and even in the name of thinking about Cheng'er's body, I didn't let them live or die. If I hadn't tossed at that time, my grandson or granddaughter would have been able to attend a private school now. But as this girl just said, there is no regret medicine in this world.

I tossed for two years, and Cheng'er not only didn't get tired of Shen Mingyue, but loved her more and more. This Shen Mingyue is really a rare good daughter-in-law. I treated her like that, she didn't even complain, and when I was sick, she stayed in front of my bed and took care of me. This person's heart is full of flesh, and my niece is unwilling to wait for Cheng'er like this, under the arrangement of my sister and brother-in-law, she also found a well-connected official eunuch to marry.

Who knows, this good day has just begun, and something happened when Cheng'er went into the city to sell medicine. When Cheng'er first had an accident, I was very scared, afraid that Mingyue would dislike him, and afraid that Mingyue would propose to let Cheng'er divorce her. But no, she is still as good as ever to Cheng'er. Knowing that Cheng'er didn't want to look at half of her face, she helped people work to make money, and used the money she earned to buy Cheng'er the mask she is using now.

Mingyue she, she is really a good daughter-in-law of our Zhang family, and she is my good daughter-in-law. My lord, the two adults and this girl, I really hope that she can stay in our Zhang family for a lifetime, and I really hope that she is good. But in this rural place, there are a lot of rumors, and the reason why I did it was also for the sake of Mingyue. She is still young, she can live a lifetime with her children, but when she is old in the future, she will not have a child under her knees, what will she do? ”

"Can't you go out and raise one?"

"Yes, of course yes, but this unknown child, my lord is unwilling to ask for it. No one is willing to send their children to our home. I really have no choice, so I will think about convincing Mingyue, and I will think of asking her to use this method to give our Zhang family and leave her a place to rely on. ”

"Did she promise herself?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Cheng's mother nodded again and again: "At the beginning, she didn't agree. I knelt down and begged her, and I asked our ancestors to help speak. It took several days of persuasion before she agreed. ”

"What did you just say? Say that the old ancestor of your Zhang clan also knows about this? ”

"Yes." Zhang Cheng's mother nodded: "Although this matter is a little unsightly, it is also a big deal." If you don't inform your ancestors in advance, when the time comes, you will be exposed, and you will not only lose the face of our Zhang family, but also the lives of our Zhang family. With the presence of the ancestors, it is as if there is a dependent. ”

Xing Ruyi and Chang Tai glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, the one who helped Shen Mingyue open the door of the ancestral hall was the ancestor of the Zhang family. She is also the key person who secretly contributed to this matter.

Without waiting for Chang Tai and them to find the old ancestor who lived on the edge of the ancestral hall, Zhang Youfu, the village chief of Nanwang Village, hurriedly ran over. As he ran, he shouted: "My lord, it's not good, it's not good, there is another murder in the ancestral hall!" ”
