Chapter 483: Yunyan
This matter spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon reached the ears of the official master of Baishi Town, who was upright and very resourceful.
He called Pregnant High and inquired carefully, and after a moment of silence, he put on civilian clothes and walked outside, and when he came back, he ordered Pregnant High to go to the other town for a run.
Three days later, she returned from another town to recover her life.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the official ordered Jiang Beifa and his wife to be escorted to the court and announced the opening of the trial of the case of Xiyu's disappearance.
He slapped the shocked wood hard, and shouted: "Jiang Beifa, your husband and wife colluded with foreign Taoist priests to pretend to be ghosts and conspire to kill Xiyu, this official has found out clearly, can you confess your guilt? You poisonous woman, why don't you quickly recruit me from the truth!"
When Jiang Beifa heard that Xiyu was dead, he was immediately frightened, and said: "Master Mingjian, Xiyu's death has nothing to do with me, these things were instigated by that Taoist priest to do them." ”
It turned out that since Jiang Beifa married Xiyu into the door, he has become increasingly cold to his wife.
After Xiyu became pregnant, he didn't set foot in her room for more than a month, and his wife was angry and jealous.
That day, she met a Taoist priest on the street, and calculated a hexagram for her, and the Taoist priest told her that the details of her family were not bad, and she could not say that in three years, Xiyu would occupy the magpie's nest and drive her out of the house.
Jiang Beifa's wife panicked, and hurriedly asked for advice on how to save him, and the young Taoist priest said that as long as he obeyed his arrangement, he could drive Xiyu out of the house.
Speaking of this, Jiang Beifa's wife kowtowed again and again: "I killed the chickens and ducks in the backyard, and the Taoist priest pretended to do it in the jade room that night, and I secretly put a ladder in the back window to send her away." But I really don't know the origin of the Taoist priest, he didn't take my money, I thought he was really helping me, how could I have thought that he would murder Xiyu. ”
The official stroked his beard and glanced at Pregnant Gao.
Pregnant and high school, a man and a woman were escorted to the court, the woman was Xiyu, and the man was a young offspring with a beautiful face.
The official pointed to the offspring and asked, "Poisonous woman, do you recognize this person?"
Jiang Beifa's wife felt that this posterior was a little familiar, and after taking a closer look, she suddenly shouted: "He is the Taoist priest, and he instigated me to do those things and deceived Xiyu away." ”
The latter had a shameful face, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
The official master slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "Who are you, why did you pretend to be a Taoist priest and abduct Xiyu?"
Only then did the young posterity speak and reveal his identity.
This posterity is named Fengling, a hundred miles away from Qinghe Town, he and Xiyu are neighbors, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they fell in love when they grew up.
Just when the two families were preparing to arrange their marriage, Qinghe Town was hit by a once-in-a-century drought, and Fengling was forced to make a living, so he had to follow a team of beggars out to flee the famine, which was a full five years.
Last year, Fengling returned to his hometown, but he didn't see Xiyu.
It turned out that two years ago, Xiyu's father died of illness, and in order to raise funeral expenses, Xiyu voluntarily sold herself, and was sold to Baishi Town, a hundred miles away.
Fengling is an amorous seed, so he rushed to Baishi Town to redeem himself for Xiyu, who knew that he was a step too late, and Xiyu had been accepted as a concubine by the wealthy businessman Jiang Bei.
Fengling was heartbroken and wandered around Jiang's mansion all day, looking for an opportunity to meet Xiyu, and when he learned that Jiang Beifa's wife couldn't have children, he had a plan.
He first asked Xiyu to pretend to be pregnant, which made Jiang Beifa's wife jealous, and then Fengling pretended to be a fortune teller and induced her to collude with nature, staged a trick to catch the fox spirit, and took the opportunity to take Xiyu out of Jiang's mansion.
They were ready to go away together, but they didn't expect that as soon as the two returned to Qinghe Town, they were caught by the pregnant high who was following.
Speaking of this, Feng Ling looked depressed: "How did the official master know that I was pretending to be a Taoist priest?"
The official man smiled proudly and said the reason: "I have never believed in ghosts and gods, and I don't believe in any fox spirits in the world at all. That day, after listening to the narrative of the pregnant high school, I felt that there were a lot of doubts, so I went to the Yichun Courtyard where Xiyu used to stay for a private visit, and learned that Xiyu was sold from Qinghe Town. ”
And he said that the Taoist priest also spoke with a Qinghe town accent. I guessed that the two of you might have known each other before, so I sent Yugao to Qinghe Town to investigate, and sure enough, I caught you two properly. ”
Jiang Beifa suddenly realized, but he was still a little confused: "What happened to you doing it in the cemetery that night, cutting off the tombstone with a flashing sword?"
Feng Ling said: "Those are just small tricks that I learned outside. I had applied some phosphorus to that sword beforehand, and it would burn when it caught the wind. And the tombstone I cut off was not a real stone tablet, it was made of flour. ”
"I hid in the cemetery that night, and when you arrived, I deliberately staged such a play to make you believe in my spells. Then you will come to me to eradicate the vixen for you, and I can take this opportunity to bring Xiyu out of your house. ”
Jiang Beifa asked again: "Then what about the wooden talisman on my clothes and the sound you made in Xiyu's room?"
Feng Ling said: "I asked Xiyu to stick the wooden talisman to your clothes while you were asleep. And the sound made in the jade room is just a ventriloquism, and it all comes out of my mouth. As he spoke, he puffed out his mouth and learned the sound of birds, the sound of the wind, and the sound of thunder, and it was really vivid.
At this time, the official man stood up, smiled and said: "The truth of this case has been revealed, and the official verdict is as follows: Although it is ridiculous that Fengling and Xiyu colluded to pretend to be ghosts, the thought is that the two of you really love each other, and the official will not be held accountable." I grant you permission to marry each other, but you must return the ransom that Jiang Bei sent to Yichun Yuan. ”
When Fengling and Xiyu heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.
The official said: "As for you, Jiang Beifa snubbed his wife, and your wife conspired with others to deceive her husband, this is your family matter, and the official can't make a decision, so let your husband and wife discuss and solve it themselves." Jiang Beifa and his wife glanced at each other and hung their heads in shame.
Billowing smoke filled the air, and it was pitch black all around, except for the occasional screams in the distance, and in an instant it was calm again.
Qi Lin and Shenye couldn't even see each other anymore, but their hands were tightly clasped together.
A quarter of an hour ago, the lights were still bright in Shi Town, but in an instant, disaster struck.
Qi Lin was chatting with his wife Shenye at the time, but Shenye would always playfully cover Qi Lin's eyes with his hands.
But everything came too quickly, and in this sudden ten seconds, the earth shook violently, and the usually sturdy houses collapsed in the face of such a natural disaster.
Qi Lin and Shenye knew that they should hide in a small space when the earthquake occurred, so that they would not be hit by falling roofs.
But when the earthquake did happen, they realized how ridiculous the idea was, because the violent shaking would make it impossible for them to stand still, let alone escape.
Qi Lin reacted quickly, but he only had time to push the divine leaf to the corner, and then the side wall began to tilt, and the roof also fell, and he jumped at his wife.
Then the huge stone smashed to the ground, and the whole room kicked up a huge amount of dust, and the world fell into darkness, Qi Lin and Shenye couldn't see each other clearly, but they knew that their lover was still by their side because their hands were still holding together.
"Ahem, ahem, Xiaoye, Xiaoye, are you okay, how are you?" Qi Lin hurriedly shouted to the side in the dark.
After a few breaths, the girl's slight response came: "Brother Lin, I feel as if my whole body is suppressed, I am no longer conscious, will I die?"
"No, Xiaoye, you can squirm slowly and try. Qi Lin was happy to hear his wife's voice, but he was worried when he heard her weak appearance.
Hearing Qi Lin's words, Shenye began to exert his strength tentatively, "Well, it seems to feel a little bit." She responded.
"That's good, I should have been shocked by the stone just now, and it will be fine. Qi Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then how are you?" Kamiha's voice was weak, and although there was no problem with his body, he was also shocked a lot.
"Of course I'm fine, I reacted so quickly, I saved your life today, don't block my eyes next time, hehe, cough cough. In the dark, Qi Lin didn't forget to tease, but he was choked by the dust in the air and coughed.
"When is it, you still have the heart to joke. What do we do now, do we have to find a way to climb out?" asked Shenye.
"Don't, don't move, I don't know if the stone on it is firm now, and it will be bad if you move it and let it fall. I don't know if it was dust in his throat just now, Qi Lin's voice was a little hoarse.
"So what should we do now?" After calming down a little, Kamiha began to get scared instead.
"It's okay, there will be villagers to save us, we just have to wait here. Qi Lin said slowly.
"Brother Lin, I'm afraid, we won't really die here. ”
"No, we all survived the earthquake just now, how can we die here, so let's do it, I'll tell you a story. ”
"Good. ”
In this silence, Qi Lin began to tell stories to Shenye, all of which were stories from his childhood.
