Chapter 34: To be a human or a ghost
Sun Chong stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Xu San away, Xu Qinghuan got up and stroked the grass clippings on her body, stood a few steps away, and watched Mrs. Xu San struggle like an enraged beast.
"It's just a rebel, when he approached you, he just wanted to survive," Xu Qinghuan said in an almost cold voice, "There is no truth in this world." ”
Mrs. Xu San was even more angry.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I think you have been a ghost for too long, let me teach you how to behave." ”
With that, she turned and walked out of her cell.
The blue tendons on Mrs. Xu's forehead burst out, and the hatred that had accumulated for many years rushed to her heart, she shouted at Xu Qinghuan's back, and a scene seemed to float in front of her.
Zhao Shan was scolded, questioned, and beaten, the people of Fengxiang, the Cao family all pounced on him and bit him, he was originally tall, but he had to bow all the time, because of humiliation, because of shame, because he was afraid that he would attract attention, so he was sent to investigate.
He had suffered so much, but he did not dare to cry out in pain, he was stoic and desperate.
Everyone is like Xu Qinghuan, ignoring his pain, turning around and walking so decisively, he is a sinner when he is a man or a ghost.
"Ah......h
……
The Cao family saved the people of the city when the rebels attacked Fengxiang.
Old lady Cao was not afraid of danger, and led people to burn all the grain and grass in the city.
The old people who survived the battle of Fengxiang still remember that scene, the firelight reflected their faces, and they would rather burn out the food than leave one for the rebels.
In the midst of the raging fire, the sound of food "beeping" gave birth to fighting spirit in their hearts, and there was no way out, only resistance could possibly live.
Death is also a clean and heroic death, and anyone who mentions Feng Xiang must be in awe.
The rebels shouldn't mess with them.
This backbone, this way of life was given to them by the Cao family, so every time they saw the high archway, they would be relieved and shed tears for the old lady Cao for the dead.
But suddenly one day, they found out that everything might be fake, the Cao family had something to do with the rebels, no wonder the Cao family's daughters survived back then, and there was another hidden reason in this.
"This is really a big disaster," Mrs. Cao's body was full of rancid water, and she was drenched by someone as soon as she went out, she sobbed and cried, "The master hasn't come back yet, these people have come to the door again, I have long said that she is a scourge, if these things were disposed of back then, where would there be today." ”
Old Lady Cao lowered her eyes, and the Buddhist beads in her hand turned a few points faster than usual.
What the Cao family was worried about still happened, but it was more than ten years late.
Before Mrs. Cao could speak, she heard a noise, and then the housekeeper of the Cao family stumbled in: "Old lady, it's not good, those people broke into the door with the tablet." ”
Those were all those who died in the Battle of Fengxiang.
One by one, the tablets were placed in the courtyard of the Cao family, like ghosts standing silently and silently, waiting for the Cao family to give them a satisfactory answer.
I'm not afraid of death, but I can't be confused.
If it is the person who makes trouble, the Cao family can fight out, and if it is an unwarranted frame, the Cao family can ask the government to move, but the Cao family has never seen such a scene, and they don't want to face it.
Seeing such a scene, Second Master Cao couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, his legs were weak, and he was very afraid of being caught by those people and asked: "Why did your Cao family survive back then, but our relatives didn't survive." ”
This is obviously his own home, but now he is like a thief, tiptoeing to slip away, but when he turns his head, he doesn't know who is holding him down, and then his clothes are ripped open with a "stab".
Two strangers stood in front of him.
One of them sneered: "Second master, let's take a look at your injuries!" ”
Second Master Cao couldn't refuse, because the two people next covered his mouth, ripped off his clothes, and followed his injured arm to expose the two of them.
The wound had scabbed over and was not as bad as it seemed.
"It's a very light injury," one of them sneered, and stretched out his hand to scratch at the wound fiercely, and immediately lifted the blood scab, and strings of blood beads emerged from the pink tender flesh, and then he pressed his rough fingers up, rubbing them uncontrollably.
Second Master Cao's eyes widened under extreme pain, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"Comfortable? Tell us where the money is? Blood-stained silver is not good to spend, how about the brothers dispose of it for you? ”
Second Master Cao wanted to shout, but someone stuffed something into his mouth, he wanted to spit it out, but the back of his neck was grabbed, and the thing slipped into his throat with a grunt.
The man said coldly: "You have just eaten the poison of our stockade, and if there is no antidote within three days, you will definitely die, you should think carefully about whether life is important or silver is important, and the next time we come, if the silver is not ready, we can only take your head back to pay back." ”
"No, no, you can't die too comfortably, you have to disembowel, so that your life will be counted on the murderer."
The cold blade slashed through Cao Er's chest.
Second Master Cao knew that they were talking about the people who killed Ruwan, and they died in the same state, so the yamen would naturally deal with it as a case, and these people had already thought of a way out, so they would act so unscrupulously.
The two of them let go of their hands, and Second Master Cao slid to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Phew" A mouthful of thick phlegm spit on the face of Cao Er.
"It's a good thing to think that the Cao family is, it turns out to be a black-hearted person."
It took a long time for the second master Cao to make a sound, wanting someone to save him, but unfortunately the Cao family was in a mess, and no one heard his cry for help.
Master Cao San broke into Mrs. Cao's room: "Didn't my mother say that she wouldn't mention Zhao Shan, let alone admit that Zhao Shan was a rebel?" Because in this way, Sister Zhen will add to the guilt. ”
Old Lady Cao said in a deep voice: "She didn't dare to say it. ”
Master Cao San said excitedly: "Who said that, who told the rebels about it, and now they have wronged us to collaborate with the enemy." ”
"How could they do this," Mrs. Cao San said in surprise, "it was our Cao family who saved them, how could they be so ungrateful." ”
Master Cao San looked angry: "They actually asked why we were able to avoid the search of the rebels, and also found the secret passage where we were hiding, I took them to see the secret passage, and they also asked why they had to escape since the secret passage was so safe, and there were rebels stationed in the Cao family back then, how could we get out from under the noses of the rebels, and after we walked out, how did we avoid the rebels' inspection and get to the gate of the city." ”
Evaded the rebel search because of Zhao Shan.
The secret passage has been discovered, and Zhao Shan kills the rebels who found them and rescues them.
Zhao Shan knew the movements of the rebels, so he helped them avoid the rebels' patrols.
Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan, it's all him, but Zhao Shan can't mention it.
Master Cao San suddenly remembered that Zhao Shan pulled his hands, if it weren't for Zhao Shan's bravery, he would never have killed the rebels after they discovered the secret passage, but when they tied up Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan didn't struggle at all.
If Zhao Shan was really the one who hid the money, why didn't he run away, but recounted the natural past to them over and over again, Zhao Shan's words could not make people suspicious at all.
Zhao Shan was wronged, this thought flashed through his mind, he wanted to argue for Zhao Shan, but at that time he was afraid that the people around him would also point the finger at him, so he retreated.
"It's all your fault," Master Cao San stretched out his finger and pointed at the people in the room, "If you believed Zhao Shan back then and told the yamen about this matter, with Su Huai's conduct, you will definitely find out the truth, and we will all be fine, now that Zhao Shan is dead, we can't tell how many mouths we have......
"It's not right for the third uncle to say this," Mrs. Cao sneered, "Back then, everyone decided together, but now you put all the blame on us, if you want to die, everyone has to die together, and you can't escape." ”
"It's you who are the most ruthless," Master Cao San said fiercely, "You still have to kill those two children." ”
"It's the eldest sister who pinched Brother Ye," Mrs. Cao said contemptuously, "I also thought she was so kind-hearted, and made so many clothes for Brother Ye, at that juncture, she stretched out her hand without saying a word, and then she pretended to say that she was scared, and asked me to take Brother Ye's things and burn them, after she gave birth to Qingshu, I kindly made a pair of tiger head shoes for Qingshu, but she said that those shoes were made for Brother Ye in the past, and I was deliberately scaring her."
Over the years, you have all lived freely, but Sister Zhen was thrown in my room, looking at Sister Zhen every day, I can think of the events of that night, and now you accuse me, and you are also worthy. ”
"Don't mention Sister Zhen," Second Mrs. Cao interrupted Mrs. Cao, "Don't you know what kind of life Sister Zhen is living?" I am the only one in this family who treats Sister Zhen as my daughter.
There is also the matter of Sister Wan'er, I think about it and finally understand, why the murderer can enter the Cao family so smoothly, it is a bureau that you and your eldest sister jointly do, you want to kidnap Sister Zhen and blame Xu Qing'an, if something happens to the Hou Mansion of Anyi, you can make a contribution in front of Uncle Guo, Ruwan can also marry the Zhang family smoothly, but I didn't expect to harm my daughter. ”
"You're talking nonsense." Mrs. Cao was about to step forward to arrest Mrs. Cao.
At this moment, Mrs. Cao San suddenly exclaimed, and the brocade box in her hand fell to the ground in response, and a bloody and blurry thing rolled out of the brocade box, which was an ear.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, and before they came back to their senses, Second Master Cao covered his arms and walked in the door with a pale face.
"Mother," Second Master Cao's voice trembled, "Prepare some silver to come out, if they can't see the silver, they will kill me." ”
