In the morning, the officials beat the gong and shouted on the street: "Today, Mrs. Guo's funeral is suspended, and when the funeral will be announced by the county government." ”

The sound of the gong rang far away, and someone asked, "Didn't you say that there was a funeral today?" Can this still be delayed? If you drag it any longer, people will stink. ”

When the Guo family heard the notice, they hurriedly pulled the official and asked, "The county magistrate has changed his mind?" Our family is ready, what is the matter that we can't be buried. ”

"Master's order, how do we know why, let's wait." The official struck the gong and continued to walk down the street.

Guo's father-in-law said in a low voice: "How is this good? Daughter-in-law's ...... That's not going to work. ”

"I said a long time ago that you guys are hurting the heavens and reason, I heard that Qin was on the road yesterday, is it ...... The Lu family sued? ”

"Haven't you heard of this?"

Guo family's in-laws, you look at me, I look at you, nervous.

A young woman walked out with her waist twisted, she was wearing a red shirt with grease and powder, and she was wearing a red ball of yarn on her head, which jumped as soon as she walked. When the woman saw the Guo family's in-laws standing in the courtyard, she asked unhappily, "Aren't you going to send that dead ghost yet, what are you doing here?" ”

"The master said that he couldn't go to the funeral, so he had to wait."

"Wait? What are you waiting for, the night is long and there are many dreams, go, spend money to find someone to carry it out and bury it, and every day there is a dead person in the house, and he dies of bad luck. ”

The Guo family's in-laws looked at each other, and no one moved.

"Go, go find someone to come over, it's been three days and you won't carry it out and wait for it to rot at home?" The woman was furious and pointed to the door and shouted, "Why don't you go and find someone for me?" ”

Where is this daughter-in-law's attitude towards her in-laws.

At this time, Guo Si hurriedly came in from outside, his face full of anxiety: "It's over, there is a messenger, not to say that the lady died strangely, and she is not allowed to go out of the funeral, but also ...... Check again. ”

"Chincha? What does the Chin cha do with all this nosy? The woman was anxious, "No matter, I said that I had to go out of the funeral today, but the master didn't allow it, let's secretly pull him out of the city and bury him, and he can dig it out again, that's stealing the grave and digging the grave!" The woman's expression was resolute, and Guo Si hesitated, "That's not good, that's the county master, offended him, we are all in trouble." ”

"What are you afraid of, this is our family's own business, the county master can still manage people's funerals, and now that he has money, he doesn't care what official he is, he is all reaching out to ask for money, money can make ghosts grind, not to mention a small county order. Hurry up and spend money to find someone, carry the dead ghost out and bury it. ”

Guo Si kept listening to this woman's words, and hurriedly ran out.

The two in-laws of the Guo family, you look at me and I look at you, they are secretly complaining in their hearts, and their sons don't know where to find this woman, who made the family uneasy when she came in, and her daughter-in-law also died.

"Are you Guo Si?" As soon as Guo Si walked to the door, he was stopped by two people with broken knives,

He subconsciously looked into the courtyard and nodded yes.

"On the orders of Lord Qincha, Guo Niangzi's body is temporarily sealed and no one is allowed to approach, where is Guo Niangzi's coffin now?"

Guo Si was stunned for a moment, then looked back, the two of them strode directly into the courtyard, and when they saw the woman's dress, one of them frowned, and held the handle of the knife in his hand: "Who are you from the Guo family, what is the reason why you wear red and green when people are mourning?" ”

The woman glanced at Guo Si and said with a blessing: "The little woman was arranged by my sister for her husband...... Wife's room. ”

"You are the woman who was hidden by Guo Niangzi?"

The guards had already heard the post guard tell her about the Guo family yesterday, and looked her up and down, with a dissatisfied expression: "In this case, there should be basic etiquette to be a stepfamily, how can you wear such a dress?" Not a spark of decency. ”

"The military master didn't know anything, it was arranged by my sister, she said that this is a happy event, and I must be happy."

"Hmph, where is the body?" The man glanced around the courtyard and saw a room with a white cloth hanging on it, and he went to go.

Guo Si walked over and muttered in a low voice: "What can I do, I was targeted by Qincha." ”

"Don't panic, I don't believe that a Qincha is so nosy, wait and see." The woman comforted.

At the same time, the county magistrate Zengshou spread his picture of the lady on the table seriously, and Mai Zhixian looked down and asked, "Lord Qincha wants to eat baked cakes for breakfast?" ”

"Is this a pancake? Do you take a closer look? Zengshou pointed to the lady picture angrily.

"Oh, it's a sesame baked cake, don't worry, our Xianghe's sesame baked cake is delicious, I'll ask someone to buy it, and I'll be there later."

Mai County Ling was just about to call someone, Luo Fan saw Zengshou's face was struck by lightning, and held back a smile: "Mai County Order, this is a picture of a lady, to be precise, it is a portrait of a woman painted by Lord Qincha." ”

"Ah...... This one...... This one...... This portrait ......"

Mai Xianling was born in Jinshi, and it was obvious that the picture of the maid painted by Zeng Shou was beyond the scope of his cognition, and he didn't know what to say.

"Come, Mai County Order, please see, this is a woman's face, well, look at this law should be a round face." Luo Fan enthusiastically introduced Mai County Order.

", that's called a duck egg face!"

Zengshou pushed Luo Fan away, pointed to the portrait and said: "This is a duck egg face girl, well, probably so tall, I didn't paint the whole body, I don't pay attention to any artistic conception and interest in painting, it's very realistic, do you understand?" It's realistic, not freehand. ”

Mai Xianling shook his head and nodded again, looking dazed.

"Really...... Rotten wood cannot be carved. ”

Zengshou shook his head: "Look at it, this is also a duck-faced girl, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, with her tongue hanging out, she may have been strangled to death, the important thing is that there is a mole here, it is still red, let's call it a beauty mole, she should have been a red girl in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou in the past." After saying this, Zengshou stared at Mai Xianling, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Are you scared? Do you know this woman? ”

Mai Xianling wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Yes, the lower officials know, this is ...... This is an old man of Xiaguan. But this old man died eight years ago, oh, and you say to your lords that she may have been ...... No, not by strangulation, but by hanging. ”

"Mai County Order, you want to do everything you can to ask for the seal for Guo Niangzi, it's out of your own selfishness." Zengshou asked coldly.

"No, the lower officials do think that Guo Niangzi is affectionate and filial and deserves to be rewarded,"

"Nonsense, what is a secret door seal?" Zeng Shou slammed the table, "Mai County Order, I'll give you a chance to recruit from the truth." ”

Luo Fan said on the side: "Mai County Order, the facts are very clear to us, you are based on your own knot to try to ask Guo Niangzi to ask for a seal, you met a fireworks woman before, and had a deep relationship with that woman, and then the woman died, you feel guilty in your heart, this time you saw Guo Niangzi's death was touched, so you want to ask Guo Niangzi to ask for a seal, yes or no?" ”

Mai Xianling sighed helplessly: "Yes, it is indeed as the adults said." ”

"Hmph, in order to untie your own knots, you are emotional, and you don't investigate the case well, what crime should you be guilty of." Zengshou immediately put on a look of asking the teacher.

Now Mai Xianling didn't dare to underestimate these two young Qincha, and hurriedly explained: "It is true that the lower officials have selfish intentions, but the case of Guo Niangzi has been thoroughly investigated by the lower officials, and she did hang herself, not poisoned, nor killed. Even if the adults kill me today, I can't change the result. Mai Xianling couldn't stop wiping his cold sweat.
