Between the world and the earth, the whiter the moonlight became. The earth where the bones of the dead were buried, like a ghost groaning, beckoned the yin rats hidden in the dark holes around them, and did not dare to come out of the day, came in flocks, and swarmed on the tiles, and they chirped and screamed, as if they were speaking for the souls of the dead, and sang the terrifying prophecy.

Zhang Da gradually stopped jumping his feet, and a wave of evil thoughts surged in his chaotic mind, and he threw the paper lantern in his hand to the ground, and kicked a big rat that was rushing into the fire, and the big rat let out a terrible wail, but it could not stop the "companions" from going forward one after another, they still bravely passed through the white bone burial ground, and rushed to the beams of the house.

Staring at such a strange situation in front of him, Zhang Da's heart gradually climbed as dense as a vine Luo's despair, which made his eyes crack, but he was unwilling to be restrained by slander, as if in the bottom of his heart, a voice reminded him louder and louder: You can't accept fate, you can't accept punishment, there must be a turnaround, there must be a way.

Right!

As long as the bones are dug up, hidden elsewhere, and the evidence of this crime destroyed, no one can accuse him, what are these rats? Don't say that he just jumped on the beams of the house, even if a group of rats gathered in the court, he could prove that he was a murderer?

Thinking from the heart, the body moves with the thought, Zhang Da did not flow like his wife and mother, so he was paralyzed to the ground, he roared angrily, went straight to the corner, picked up a hoe, waved his arm to this piece of residence in the house, daily can only be governed by him, outsiders can not move, he was regarded as the best place to kill and bury bones in the vegetable field digging hard.

Faintly, I have seen white bones.

Zhang Da couldn't help but smile and dig harder.

"Since I dared to kill that day, I am not afraid of your ghost doing evil, as long as I destroy your dry bones, see what you can do to me?"

But it was a cruel laugh again.

He finally heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, one after another, his body stiffened, and when he turned his head, he almost heard the "click" of his neck bones, the fire! Where does the fire come from?

Suddenly, a group of people, holding torches, seemed to fall from the sky.

Gu Changxing, the patriarch with a solemn face, and Gu Jiyu, who only came to make a fuss in the next day, are all Gu clan people who are not strangers to Zhang Da, they are standing under the moonlight and in the firelight, no one is in a hurry to ask, and it seems that it is meaningless to ask or not.

In the deep hole, the white bones have been exposed.

A young man with a scarf on his head and dressed in a black shirt is the only person Zhang Da feels that his eyes are raw.

But he walked forward slowly, leaned over and looked into the deep hole, he couldn't tell whether it was calm or cold, stared lazily at Zhang Da, and waved his hand: "Excuse me, quickly examine the bones." ”

Yin Jiyu was actually a little surprised, when Gu Changxing went to the Fenzhou Mansion to complain today, he listened to the cause and effect, and he didn't believe that these clues really pointed to a murder, but at this time, he couldn't help but believe it.

It was only at this time that Zhang Da realized that he had fallen into a desperate situation, and as soon as the evil thoughts that supported him were removed, he collapsed like mud.

This night, the spring return was a good night's sleep.

When the first rays of morning light filled the room, Mei Jealousy and Ju Xi obeyed the instructions and woke up her girls on time, they were busy serving Chungui and washing, and they didn't know that there was still a presence in the house that they couldn't see.

Li has been in Mrs. Gu's grange last night, witnessed the death of the heir to see the light of day, as a dead soul, she does not feel tired, but the sad and indignant mood is more surging, she saw and heard red eyes choked and whispered, the spring return is not good to comfort the mother, she just walked in front of the window, felt the cool morning breeze blowing in her face, looked east, did not see the rising sun, only said: "Today, the evildoer will eventually be revealed, and the wronged person will finally be able to look away." ”

Ju Xi didn't hear it clearly, and asked, "What did the girl say?" ”

"When I say karmic karma, that's what Gai Mo is."

Ju shy tilted her head slightly, still unclear: "This morning, why does the girl feel this way?" ”

Chun Hui didn't say more, she sat down, and Ju was ashamed to grate her hair, and just tied it neatly, sure enough, the old lady Xing came to look for her in person.

Chungui knew what happened last night, but this time she listened to Mrs. Xing's brief description again, she was not shocked, but Song's mother and daughter were shocked on the spot, and it was unbelievable that the former young master was not to avoid debts but to be killed by Mama Liu's son, and it took two years to expose the truth, and listen to Mrs. Xing's words, all this is still her own girl's secret layout.

And Gu Changxing and other clan elders have gathered in the Ming Zhengtang of the Zong family, and the old lady Xing came to invite the girl to confront the Zong family.

"Girl, of course the Zong family's vicious behavior makes people angry, but ...... After all, the girl is a humble child, and it is her daughter's family, and the old slave is not worried that the girl will come forward alone, so let the old slave accompany the girl. Mother Song didn't even care about Mrs. Xing by her side, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Xing was just trying to use the girl to fight for power and profit, and if something happened, she would not really defend her girl.

Chun Hui has his own idea: "It's good to be accompanied by Guo's mother, my mother doesn't have to worry, I have my own plans in my heart, and I won't collide with my relatives." ”

Mrs. Xing also said: "The person who made Zhang Da kill is Hua Ying, although he is also Chun'er's brother, but in terms of intimacy, he is naturally not as good as Hua Qu as Chun'er's heir brother, Chun'er is guilty of following his brother for the eldest brother, and there is no fault in etiquette, there are so many clan elders present to witness, as well as Chun'er's future husband's family, Mrs. Shen's mother is present, who dares to be picky with courtesy." ”

Mother Song was relieved, but she still held on to the door frame and watched all the time.

Li sighed beside her: "It's all because I'm useless as a mother, so Chunya has to come forward to seek justice for Huaqu and let one of her daughters bear these storms, but you don't have to worry about Chunya, she is much stronger than me as a mother." ”

Mother Song couldn't hear Li's comfort, and Li came back to her senses, and hurriedly wandered to Mingzhengtang.

Ming Zhengtang was originally a hall for the Gu clan to discuss major matters, and women and dependents are generally not allowed to get involved, only today's incident, but it must be attended by the clan woman, the old lady Xing, and the spring return to be able to theorize clearly, especially the old lady Gu and the spring return, the murderer Zhang Dawei is the former's companion servant, and the deceased Huaqu is also the eldest brother of the latter's heir, they are all the people concerned, and they cannot be replaced by others. The men's and women's defense can only retreat.

Although the law of this dynasty follows the old customs, according to the people, the official will not be prosecuted, but the murder case has been determined to be major by Taizu, and the official office cannot be avoided under normal circumstances, not to mention that the murder case of the Gu family is suspected of violating the ten evils of "disharmony", how can it not be allowed to be executed only by patriarchal law, so even if Gu Chang still had concerns at the beginning of his rise and was worried that it would damage his reputation, but after weighing the benefits and disadvantages, he still chose to sue the official.

Early in the morning, Gu Changrong was forced to open the Ming Hall, but at this time, he didn't know the reasons for Gu Changxing's various "unreasonable" behaviors, but the elders of the clan had no objections one by one, and he couldn't be stubborn as the patriarch, so his face was naturally not good-looking at this time, especially when he saw the old lady Xing leading the spring return to the scene, his face sank again.

Even though he regarded Chungui as a link to the high gate, unlike in the past, he despised and alienated him, but since Chungui had such a role, he had repeatedly caused trouble, where would Gu Changrong treat her seriously?

Not to mention the old lady Gu, she is old, and she has been impetuous, and she can't sleep well at night, usually after the daughters-in-law have a morning province, most of them have to take a nap, but today they were called by Gu Changrong to Ming Zhengtang, this is the first strange thing that has been married into the door for decades, the old lady Gu has expected that there will be a turmoil, and she is inevitably worried in her heart.

She pulled down her face: "Although Mr. Yin is also Zhao Zhizhou's protégé, in the end, the two families have not yet paid the levy ceremony, a boudoir daughter, Da Ra came to see a foreign man, what kind of system is this!" ”

Yin Jiyu, who was named, saw that Miss Gu was only well-behaved with her face down, as if she had heard this reproach, obviously she didn't intend to defend herself, so he had to sigh secretly and speak out to defend - who let this future wife who is likely to be his master's family? It is observed that Miss Gu herself is not easy to mess with, not to mention that there is an Uncle Zhao, if that person really has no objection and accepts this marriage, he may settle old accounts and hold him accountable when he should come out.

"Lao Anren, Yin is here today, not as a walking around as an in-law, but because of official business, Miss Gu is both a bitter master and one of the witnesses, it must be unavoidable, Lao An people should not be harsh for this."

He didn't want to talk nonsense with Gu Changrong and his wife anymore, you must know that these two still had a peaceful sleep, he was still blowing wind in the wilderness in the middle of the night in order to catch the stolen goods last night, and when the case was asked clearly, he had to make a trip back to Fenzhou, deal with some procedural affairs, and officially file the case and arrange the court trial, which was very busy.

So he asked Liu to come up and asked, "This servant woman, I don't know if Gu Gong and Lao An can recognize it?" ”

Can you not recognize it?!

Mrs. Gu didn't quibble: "The Liu family is the old body's companion, and she was sick yesterday, what's the matter, could it be that in just half a day and a night, she made a mistake?" ”

Why is it that as soon as you open your mouth, you have a posture of skimming? Yin Jiyu somewhat dissolved the old lady Gu's thinking, and said: "Yesterday day, I received a complaint from the old Gu Gong of your clan, suspecting that the son of the Liu family had committed a serious murder, but there was no solid evidence, so after informing the state, he led the servants and servants to investigate, and did not want to go to the grange in the name of the old Anren. ”

Mo said that Old Lady Gu was so shocked when she heard this that her eyes swelled, and even Gu Changrong's knuckles on the Taishi's chair tightened suddenly.

"Prisoner Liu, there is now a testimony that Gu Jiyu has identified that your eldest son Zhang Chong killed his son, and then succeeded Gu Huaqu, the heir of Gu Juren, and buried his body in the vegetable field, can you confess?" Yin Jiyu asked slowly and methodically, and there was no deterrent effect at all.

Liu had obviously calmed down a little, and couldn't help shouting: "That corpse, how can it be Uncle Qu?" It wasn't that my son was killed, but two years ago, a stranger passed by the Grange and came to ask for lodging, but he didn't want him to get sick and die in the Grange of the slave family's wife, and the old slave and his son did not dare to speak out, for fear of being punished for affecting the master's family, so they buried it. ”

Gu Changrong and the old lady both breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that the Liu family was not completely confused.

But this quibble is also full of loopholes.

"According to the examination, although the bones of the corpse have been rotted in skin, there are traces of knives and daggers scratching between the chest and flanks, which proves that he was stabbed into the body by a dagger before his death, and there are traces of a blunt object crushing the head in the brain.

Yin Jiyu made Liu's mouth blocked, and then asked to bring her son Zhang Chong.

Under the question, Zhang Chong did not close Liu's set of confessions, which is also of course, their mother and son were arrested yesterday, and they were detained separately, where is there time to confess, Zhang Chong's statement is more interesting, he said that he didn't know why the bones were there, it was because of a nightmare, he only dug up the bones in the middle of the night, and he didn't expect that there were really bones.

Only then did Yin Jiyu allow Liu to speak: "Let's talk about it, you mother and son have a set of statements, who is quibbling." ”

But he glanced at Chungui and signaled: The turmoil caused by Miss Gu, don't worry about watching the play, otherwise I won't pay attention to it!
