Chapter 47: The Price of Lust
As soon as the words fell, Hong Liangcai stood up, pulled the rope on the coffin, and stretched out his hand, showing it in front of everyone, only to see a red mark on his hand, and blood oozing out from time to time, everyone present was shocked. Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue glanced at each other and didn't say anything, then they heard Hong Liangcai say, "I killed Shi Chunxue!" ”
"Admit it? Hong Liangcai, my sister can't live with you? You're going to kill her? What about your humanity? You're not even as good as a beast! Shi Chunfang raised his hand and gave Hong Liangcai a slap, grabbed his collar and said.
Xiao Chuyun glanced at Jiang Yue, then pulled Shi Chunfang aside, and asked Hong Liangcai: "How did she die, we all understand, should you tell us about your motive for killing and why you killed people?" ”
After hearing this, Hong Liangcai directly pointed to the prince on the side and said, "It's all you!" Prince Both! I can't stand my wife sharing a bed with me, I can't stand that she is my wife, but all I think about is you! Even if the child in her womb is not yours, do you dare to say that you and her are innocent? Do you dare to say that you have never touched the slightest snack about her? As soon as the words fell, he laughed a few times in a row, then held the coffin, looked at Shi Chunxue in the coffin and said: "I once wrote a letter of resignation, but unfortunately she didn't leave, she didn't take three to block me!" The result? I'll let her go back to her hometown! But I never expected that she would be pregnant! ”
At this time, Wang Zidu also blushed suddenly, punched Hong Liangcai's face, and directly knocked him to the ground, the corners of his mouth also oozed a trace of blood, and his cheeks were also blue, gritting his teeth and saying: "Hong Liangcai!" I'll tell you now! Chunxue and I are childhood sweethearts, we grew up together since childhood, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't go out that year and didn't have to rush to propose marriage, how could you let you marry her back home first! ”
"Huh! Didn't you chase this too? I don't know when I was a husband and wife in the field behind my back! Hong Liangcai slowly got up from the ground, and was grabbed by the collar by the prince again.
"I have been in love with her, and I have never exceeded half a point, and since she got married, I have rarely interacted, and she has rarely gone out. I'm here just to see if you're treating her well! I thought I could go to the capital to take the exam with confidence, and I could leave with peace of mind if I was a half-official position, but what about you? You actually killed her! Still doubting her innocence, Hong Liangcai, what is your heart made of! The prince said angrily.
Hong Liangcai also grabbed Wang Zidu's collar at this time, the blood on his hands stained Wang Zidu's clothes, his eyes were full of dead and fearless expression, and he said with hatred: "Then tell me, what did you do with her in the room a month ago, can you tell me?" ”
The prince let go of his hand at this time, directly knocked down Hong Liangcai's hand, lay on the edge of the coffin, and said, "You have murderous intentions towards Chunxue because of this?" Seeing that Hong Liangcai was silent, he said again: "That day, I said goodbye to Chunxue, told her that I would never come back here, and returned the green silk she gave me when she was a child. ”
Hong Liangcai was silent for a long time after hearing this, looked up at the sky with a long sigh, hid the tears in his eyes, looked back at his parents in the main room, and then walked in front of Jiang Yue, and said with a sad face: "I killed the person!" I'll admit it, take me away! ”
Jiang Yue didn't speak, and he didn't move with his hands in his arms, but Xiao Chuyun glanced at Jiang Yue on the side, turned his gaze to this Hong Liangcai, raised his hand and looked at his hand carefully, only then did he know why Jiang Yue was motionless, so he deliberately pulled his throat and said, "Okay!" The real murderer is out, and we will arrest him! ”
Not long after he finished speaking, he just looked at Mrs. Hong's hands folded in front of her abdomen, walked out unhurriedly, stood at the door, and shouted loudly: "Slow!"
When everyone looked over, they saw that the old lady was dressed in black, holding a bowl of broken porcelain in her hand, standing at the door with a calm face, looking at Hong Liangcai and smiling: "Shi Chunxue was killed by my old wife, and it has nothing to do with my son!"
At this time, Xiao Chuyun glanced back at Jiang Yue slightly, looked at the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, then turned around and walked to Shi Chunfang's side, patted her shoulder and said, "It's best not to worry, and see who of them is the murderer!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the rope on the coffin, walked to the old lady's side, glanced at the bloody machete thrown by the wall, and then said with some curiosity: "Of course I know that your son is not a murderer, since your son decided to carry the coffin back, I ruled out his suspicion, and besides, the blood stains on the rope have long been dry, and his injuries are new, just to cover up for someone, am I right?"
At this time, Shi Chunfang and the people who were very puzzled all came over, almost asking a question: "This is impossible!" How could she have killed her own daughter-in-law? ”
"Old lady, do you want to explain to all of us?" As he spoke, Xiao Chuyun handed the rope to Old Madam Hong.
"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about, Shi Chunxue was killed by me, what are you doing when you come out! Hong Liangcai hurriedly ran to Mrs. Hong's side, knelt on the ground and said.
Mrs. Hong stretched out her hand and touched her son, and couldn't help but leave two lines of tears, and then said hatefully: "What the old man did, he didn't need his son to atone for his crimes!"
At this time, Shi Chunfang walked to Mrs. Hong with some incredulity, looked at the person in front of her with red eyes and almost a thunderbolt, and then said, "Auntie, you tell me this is not true?" My sister treats you like a mother on weekdays, huh? ”
Old Madam Hong looked ahead, her face was very cold, and her tone was categorical: "She is pregnant, and the old body has long known about it, but this child can't be kept, and this woman can't be kept either!"
"Mother! Don't say it, I killed the person, the evidence is here, there is blood on the rope, there is a wound on my hand, don't make a mess, go back and take care of Dad! Hong Liangcai said with some hatred on the side.
"Son! The blood on this rope was obtained by your father four days ago, and your injury is new, so you don't need to cover it up for your father! Old Madam Hong looked down at her son in front of her and said slowly.
"Mother! Stop talking nonsense! I killed people because of this adulterer's adultery, and it has nothing to do with you, go back quickly! Hong Liangcai pushed Mrs. Hong into the house over and over again.
Mrs. Hong didn't seem to want to listen to her son's words, so she pushed her son away, and said to herself: "If everyone doesn't believe it, they will call Dr. Song from the medical hall, and they will know if it is or not!" It was the old man who asked Dr. Song to tell the woman that she was not pregnant, but that she had eaten a bad stomach, and she just wanted to cover up the joy. ”
Hong Liangcai also stood up a little incredulously at this time, looked at his mother's words, and asked inexplicably: "Mother, you already knew?" Then why did you kill her? This is two lives, and it could be your grandson! ”
"Grandson? I don't know whose it is! Return the grandchildren! Hum! Mrs. Hong said angrily.
At this time, almost everyone looked at Wang Zidu, but the prince just lay on the coffin, looking at Shi Chunxue with a sad face, and didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's eyes.
"Old Madam Hong, this is your motive for killing, right? You are the one who pressed Shi Chunxue's leg on one side, and the person who strangled her with a rope must be the one lying down with a leg injury, right? Xiao Chuyun asked as if he had seen everything.
Mrs. Hong closed her eyes tightly, a tear crossed the corner of her eye, she let out a long sigh, and said hatefully: "In the summer of a year ago, after noon, my son went down to the ground, and the woman was bathing in the room, and the old man looked at her beautiful and young, so he kept peeking outside the door. Once, I bumped into it, and it stopped for a long time. Later......"
"How did you ...... later," Shi Chunfang asked in shock and disbelief.
"I killed her because more than two months ago, when my son was not at home, I had to go to the city for two or three days to come back, I don't want to be cold at night, hot and unconscious, the old man went out to grab medicine for her, but when I came back, I saw the old man coming out of her house, and when I went in to see, it was already too late!" The more Mrs. Hong spoke, the more angry she became, causing the broken porcelain piece in her hand to pierce her palm.
When the words fell, the prince looked up at Mrs. Hong in disbelief, Hong Liang staggered back a few steps, Shi Chunfang still asked in disbelief: "Auntie, you must be joking, I'm ...... I've never heard my sister say that, huh? It must be fake, right? ”
Old Madam Hong took another long breath and said with some despair: "Just when the old body didn't know what to do, you came back!" The old body told you that she took water to wipe her body before taking off her clothes, didn't your sister's clothes still be put on by you one by one? After a pause, he said again: "At that time, your sister had a high fever and was unconscious, how could she remember these things?" Even if you think about it, do you think she dares to ask and bring it up? Besides, if your sister told her that she was wiping her body, how could she doubt it? If you want to blame it, blame your sister for being too beautiful! ”
"Sister-" Shi Chunfang also staggered back a few steps like thunder after hearing this, and threw herself directly on the coffin, tears like rain, crying heartbreaking.
After seeing that she was happy, he invited Dr. Song to come and see her, and in order not to publicize it, he asked Dr. Song to say that he had a bad stomach. Therefore, the old body must kill her, no matter whose seed is in her belly, she must die! Mrs. Hong said.
"Old lady, you have said so much, what about Master Hong?" Xiao Chuyun stood aside and said helplessly.
At this time, Hong Liangcai seemed to realize something, and instantly ran towards the house, and before Mrs. Hong could speak, she only heard a shout from inside the house: "Dad!"
Old Madam Hong burst into laughter with tears in her eyes at this time: "He's dead!" I put poison in the water he was drinking, and I've killed him! ”
After the words fell, Mrs. Hong walked to the edge of the coffin and looked at Shi Chunxue, and said again: "When the old man knew that she was pregnant, he found an excuse to go to the city to find someone to write a suicide note, and then lied that he had broken his leg, and strangled her with hemp rope when she was unprepared. The old body saw her legs kicking wildly, so he pressed her legs, but he didn't want to leave the mark of the old body's ring. ”
Xiao Chuyun looked at this scene, her heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings, looking at Shi Chunxue in the coffin, maybe at the moment before she died, she was still thinking about what to cook for her husband today, maybe she didn't know that there was a child in her womb, let alone what happened that day.
"So, you put all this on the prince, anyway, the prince and Shi Chunxue are not clear, let him be a scapegoat. You thought that all this would be settled with her burial, but you didn't expect your son to carry the coffin back, and what you didn't expect was that your son noticed who the murderer was, so in order to prevent us from finding you, he would cut his own hand with a machete and stand here to take the blame for you! Xiao Chuyun turned his head to look at this old lady Hong and said.
Mrs. Hong smiled softly again, and said very relievedly: "The beloved son of parents will have far-reaching plans!" Killing Shi Chunxue is because I don't want my son to have another brother, and I don't want my son to have blood on his hands, so I, a mother, am willing to do it for him! So, I forced the old man to kill Shi Chunxue and kill this slut! The voice fell, and he said again: "The ring, I threw it to the bedside, you can find it!"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Hong raised her hand and cut her throat with the broken porcelain piece in her hand, and blood gushed out in an instant, splashing on everyone's body, and she also fell in a pool of blood.
"Mother!"
When Hong Liangcai ran out and hugged his mother, his tears at this time could no longer represent the grief in his heart, he hugged his mother with tears streaming down his face, caressed his mother's face, and only looked at Mrs. Hong with her mouth open, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say it.
Xiao Chuyun looked at this scene, she could hardly say a word, she didn't know what to say, she didn't expect that the inside story of this matter would be like this.
She walked to the coffin, looked at Shi Chunxue, who was still dead and open-mouthed, sighed, stretched out her hand and gently brushed her eyes, and said softly: "It's all over, let's go with confidence!"
After saying this, Shi Chunxue's eyes also closed, and her mouth slowly closed, everything was so peaceful, as if none of this had happened.
Thinking that after noon, the coffin fell, Shi Chunxue fell out of the coffin, and the money in the mouth rolled to Xiao Chuyun's feet under Shi Chunxue's death, and today his eyes are closed without complaint, all this is because of a beautiful face, if it is said that beauty is not guilty, it is a crime.
Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue came out of Hong's house, the sun was about to set, the two of them rode the same horse, Jiang Yue looked at Xiao Chuyun who was extremely tired and fell in his arms, and said softly: "Everyone has their own way to go, and if you go wrong, you should pay the price."
Xiao Chuyun closed his eyes and replied very melancholy: "But this price is too heavy, in the final analysis, it is just for a pair of glamorous skins, driven by lust, if the prince had hired Shi Chunxue in advance, maybe none of this would have happened."
"Don't think about it, let's get some sleep!" Jiang Yue grabbed the reins and said lightly.
I don't know how long I walked, Xiao Chuyun suddenly sat up straight, turned his head to look at Jiang Yue with a calm face, and then said, "When I am an adult, you marry me, okay?"
