Que 3: Praying mantis catches cicadas
When I got up in the morning, Fei'er was dressing up there, and I saw the door being knocked open, and a person came in in a panic, it turned out to be Xiaoxiang, a personal maid, Fei'er frowned, and asked unhappily: "What are you doing early in the morning?" Don't know what to knock on when you enter the door? ”
Xiaoxiang's face was pale, and she stammered: "Oh no, Miss, Yingying committed suicide!" ”
Fei'er is a little confused, Yingying? Who's this? Why haven't I heard of a girl named Yingying? Xiao Xiang looked at her suspicious appearance and reminded: "It's the one I bought back a few days ago, last night Yu's mother fed her a spring wine and entertained the guests, and this morning when the guests got up together, they found that she committed suicide by strangling her neck with the guest's belt, it's so terrible, the tongue is sticking out." ”
Fei'er felt that the situation was serious, so she didn't care about asking anything more, and hurried out to see the situation.
There was a crowd of people around the door, all pointing and pointing. As soon as Fei'er entered the door, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair trembling and wearing a coat, and said inarticulately: "Alas, it's dead... This.. What kind of business are you doing here..."
Fei'er turned around and scolded loudly: "Are you full of food and hold on?" If you don't go to work in the morning, you're talking nonsense here? Get out, little Liuzi, you stay and clean up the scene, and the others go back to their own business. The crowd scattered with a roar.
Fei'er turned around and said to the man with a pleasant face: "You're always embarrassed, the girl is not good, you are frightened, there is a bit of broken silver here, you will be the one who will give you a shock." As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of silver tickets.
The guest was a little frightened, and said tremblingly: "Boss, I can't collect this money, I don't come to this place often, I didn't expect to encounter this as soon as I came, can you see if you don't report to the official?" I have a big one and a small one in my house. Please. ”
Fei'er especially wants to beat him, damn, there is a wife at home and she still runs out of the house? Damn it! But she couldn't do it to death, she insisted on giving the man a hundred taels of silver tickets, and the man walked away with a thousand thanks.
Even Yang Fei'er didn't expect that this unlucky day was endless, not to mention the loss of money for his life, someone just came to report that Wu Shiming was here.
"What is he doing here?" Yang Fei'er said angrily.
"He brought a few hundred taels of silver, saying that he wanted to redeem Yingying."
"Who is Yingying? Wouldn't it be better to take the money and let him take the people away? ”
Xiao Liuzi whispered in Yang Fei'er's ear: "The one who committed suicide today is Yingying." ”
"What?!" Yang Fei'er screamed and said in her heart: What can I do about this, this person is dead, what do you give back to others now?
Xiao Liuzi said: "That guy is arguing in the hall non-stop, do you want me to find someone to drive him away?" ”
"No! There are rules for the line, and since he wants to redeem people, I will always give him an explanation. Let's go, let's see. ”
When Yang Fei'er came to the hall, she saw a brightly dressed man shouting there, so she raised her voice and said, "Oh, whose young master is Kuo, I said, who is showing off there, it turns out to be Gongzi Wu?" ”
As soon as Wu Shiming saw Yang Fei'er coming, he hurriedly restrained himself from looking like a hooligan, and said politely: "Mother Yang is polite, I am here to redeem Yingying, but these people don't let me see it, so I quarreled with them, and asked Mother Yang not to be surprised." The silver ticket has been prepared, and according to the original agreement, the redeemer will pay 3 times the amount of silver, and ask Yang's mother to count. ”
Yang Fei'er said suddenly: "Don't look at it, no matter how much silver you give, I won't let you take Yingying away." ”
Wu Shiming hurriedly said: "Mother Yang is joking, right?" The deed of sale clearly states that if I have enough money, I can redeem my life for Yingying. As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears and said, "My business failed that day, and I had to let her be wronged here." Now that I've made some money in my business, why not come and redeem her? ”
Yang Fei'er said in her heart: You son of a bitch, if your business fails, you will sell your women as goods to others, and then use the money to do business again. It's up to you, a seven-foot man, to come up with such a ghostly idea! But I must not tell him that Yingying is dead.
"What are you arguing about? Your Yingying is dead, if you really care about her, bring her body back! ”
When Yang Fei'er was thinking about how to deal with it, this voice sounded next to her. This sounds like nothing to others, but it sounds like a big trouble to Yang Fei'er. Yang Fei'er turned her head and glared at the girl who was speaking, and immediately heard Wu Shiming crying wolf: "Yingying, why are you so confused? Why don't you wait for me more? Brother Shi Ming is late! He looked at Yang Fei'er and the others with an extremely vicious look and said, "It must be you, it must be you who forced Yingying to death, return Yingying's life quickly!" As he spoke, he pounced like a mad dog.
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of several nursing homes, Yang Fei'er was not injured. Yang Fei'er had never seen this kind of thing, and hurriedly said, "Then what do you want?" ”
As soon as Wu Shiming heard Yang Fei'er say this, he put away the pitiful look and said, "I also invite Mother Yang to the inner hall to discuss." ”
Yang Fei'er retreated from everyone, came to the side hall, and asked, "I am also sad about Yingying's matter, since she has left, you can take her body away." If you have any other conditions, just say, as long as I can do it, I will promise you. ”
Wu Shiming said: "I don't want the corpse, as long as I give me a thousand taels of silver, I will treat it as if nothing happened." Otherwise, I will go to the government to accuse you of lingering in the fangcao and ignoring people's lives! ”
Yang Fei'er seemed to hear the doorway, and thought: Just now, in front of everyone, she cried and asked me to pay for my life. Now he said to me that he didn't want Yingying's corpse, is this still a butterfly love? I thought that spending a hundred taels of silver was already very unlucky, but he opened his mouth and asked for a thousand taels! And threatened me to sue the government? What is the origin of this person?
"Mother Yang, have you thought about it?" Wu Shiming said.
Yang Fei'er smiled and said, "Wu Gongzi, I have to think about this matter and give me a day." Tomorrow will naturally give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Wu Shiming said: "Mother Yang is a smart person, don't make mistakes. ”
Yang Fei'er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please also ask Wu Gongzi to stay in our lingering workshop tonight, everything is free." ”
Wu Shimingman thought that he had a clever layout and had no last resort, but he didn't think that Yang Fei'er would play any tricks, so it was better to live here today, anyway, it was free.
Yang Fei'er called Yu's mother when she went out and told her what had just happened. When Yu's mother heard this, she smiled and said, "Girl, I'm afraid that you have encountered a 'fairy jump'." This is a common trick used by some charlatans. ”
"Immortal jump?" Yang Fei'er asked inexplicably.
Yu's mother said: "Yes, these charlatans specialize in seducing women from good families, promising the future." The deceived woman thinks that she has found true love, so she will elope with her. On the way, the swindler sold her to someone else, or a brothel, to earn a portion of the silver. In fact, many people in our garden came here this way. ”
Yang Fei'er realized: "But how did he come back to redeem himself?" ”
Yu's mother said again: "This is a more clever deception. This Wu Shiming may not have left Yangzhou City after selling Yingying. When she learned the news of Yingying's death, she pretended to redeem her. Of course you can't get someone to come, so he took the opportunity to threaten the government and extort a sum of money. ”
Yang Fei'er suddenly realized, slapped the table and said, "His grandmother's, it's time to blackmail the old lady." Fortunately, thanks to your mother, I will not be blackmailed by this liar, so what should we do next? ”
Yu's mother thought for a while and said, "Isn't there Yingying's home address on the deed of sale?" We can go to her relatives and testify to Wu Shiming in person that he is a liar. ”
"Okay, that's it!" Yang Fei'er immediately sent someone to ask Yingying's relatives to testify against Wu Shiming according to the address on the deed of sale.
