"Hmph, then if you kill your wife, you won't be a person." Chu Qi's voice was crisp, and he added, "Anyway, I'm not a good person." ”

Zengshou smiled and gave a thumbs up to the little girl: "Yes, that's right, say a few more words, why do I like to listen to it so much." ”

Chu Qi blushed: "My lord, the slave didn't tell a lie, my wife said in the past, this Xianglian girl sold herself for the imperial examination of the princess, and later the princess was admitted to the merit and fame, and went back to marry the Xianglian girl, but I didn't expect that girl to hang herself." ”

Mai Xianling suddenly laughed, and tears of laughter came out. He was a man in his thirties, who originally looked very elegant, but at the moment he was smiling hideously with a hint of grief and indignation, and his expression was particularly terrifying.

Chu Qi was so frightened that he turned around and hid behind Zengshou, and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of you, Lord Qincha will help me." ”

"Little girl, how did you know that the master would help you?"

Chu Qi tilted his head and thought for a moment: "My lord is so wise, well, the wise Shenwu will definitely be able to help me." ”

Zengshou became more and more proud, and glanced at Luo Fan, who didn't notice his smug eyebrows dancing at all, but stared at Mai Xian Ling and said, "Go on." ”

Young Mai Xiucai was crazy and pulled people all over the street to ask if he knew an old bustard from Suzhou. Someone saw that although he was dressed in tatters, he was beautiful and white-eyed, so they teased: "People are here to buy girls." A man like you can only go to the court, or die of this heart. Some people also laughed: "It's better to ask the master to try it, train it, and see if you can be a good rabbit." ”

The foul words pierce the heart, Mai Xiucai doesn't feel uncomfortable at the moment, he is a man and has to be insulted like this, if Xianglian, an innocent girl, goes to such a place, wouldn't it be like falling into hell?

That night, Xianglian didn't come back, he was alone in the ruined temple, kneeling in front of the tattered statue and kowtowing, asking the gods to bless Xianglian to come back safely, don't go that way.

At noon the next day, Xianglian came back, followed by a mother-in-law, a person who looked like a small girl, the mother-in-law was full of flowers, and the fragrant powder on her face could choke people from afar, and she was not a serious person when she looked like she was wearing red and green, and Mai Xiucai's heart gradually sank.

"Hurry up, there's still a boat waiting to go." The woman said.

Xianglian walked over, with tears in her eyes, looked at Mai Xiucai and said, "I'm leaving, this is for you." As he spoke, he handed a cloth bag to Mai Xiucai,

Mai Xiucai took it, stretched out his hand and pinched the hard one, knowing that it was money, and said angrily: "You let me use your money from selling my body?" Xianglian, I misread you, you woman has no heart, aren't you afraid of letting your parents be humiliated under Jiuquan? ”

Xianglian smiled sadly: "I don't care about anything anymore, we have nothing now, and if you beg on the street, you may be able to live, but are you willing?" ”

"I can go to someone and ask where I need to be a gentleman, I went to teach in a private school, I was so stupid before, how could I go to the dock to find a job, it's no problem to teach a few children."

"Barely enough to eat, when will I be able to save money? There are still two months to take the township test? Brother, you go to the provincial city for the exam, you pass the exam and become an official, don't forget that I am. Xianglian said and turned around and left.

Mai Xiucai hurriedly reached out and grabbed her sleeve: "Xianglian, I don't allow you to go to that kind of place." As he spoke, he looked at the woman, "Give you back the money." ”

The mother-in-law sneered: "If you enter our door, if you want to redeem yourself, it is not this price." What are you going to pay back? Besides, someone buys and someone has to sell, I heard Xianglian say that you are still a scholar, you should know that there is no reason to buy and sell in this world. After speaking, the woman smiled, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and put on a shy look: "If you really want to eat fresh, it is better to come to Suzhou, and you can bid when you are ****." Haha, the old lady really didn't expect that there is a useless man like you in this world, a lonely man and a widow for so many days, and he can't sit still, this is not Yanagishita Hui or there is not good. Saying that, he grabbed Xianglian's sleeve, "Daughter, go home with your mother obediently, when you arrive in Suzhou, your mother will hurt people in the end, and you must be trained to be charming, pinching a stream of water, and eating a bag of honey." ”

Mai Xiucai grabbed Xianglian's sleeve and didn't let go, Xianglian didn't look back at him ruthlessly, struggled hard, and tore the sleeve with a sound.

"Haha, I said Xiucaigong, if you really want to eat a bite of fresh, come to Suzhou Baihualou, but you must come."

The old bustard laughed, dragged Xianglian and left.

Mai Xiucai wanted to chase in his heart, but his feet were nailed to the spot like nails.

The woman was right, the price was the price, but when it came to other people's hands, it was difficult to say how much they would sell.

If you go to a private school by yourself, you can barely survive, so what should you do with the township test? The Mai family suffered this catastrophe and became a laughing stock in the eyes of many people, those neighbors who were affected are waiting for their bad luck, waiting to see themselves fall into the abyss, and they will never be able to turn over, whether to take this money to test their fame, and then redeem people, or to return the money for the only bit of dignity and backbone? After hesitating for a moment, the mother-in-law pulled Xianglian into the carriage, and the little girl ran away with the carriage, and the horse's hooves seemed to be stepping on his heart, and he squatted on the ground and cried.

"So you used Xianglian's money from selling your body to participate in the township examination, and you were promoted in the exam?"

Luo Fan asked.

"Yes, I won the lift, those who gloated in the past and waited to see my good show came forward, and the local squire said that he couldn't see Wenqu Xing suffering, and sent me silver to send the scholar, I know, I need a good reputation, I can't just get carried away and go to Suzhou to redeem people, manage a good reputation, even if I can't get into the Jinshi in the future, I can also have a little fame in the neighborhood, and I will be a master in the future, or go to a rich family to sit in the museum, the emperor pays off, the second year, I was admitted to the Jinshi, and went to Suzhou to see Xianglian non-stopShe had already picked up the customer at that time, and she said that she was dirty and could not defile me, and she was willing to be my sister. I gave all this to her, I can't be ungrateful and forgetful, just when I raised money to ransom her, she suddenly hanged herself, and before she died, she left a letter to serve her Jin Gui and her sisters, asking me to redeem Jin Gui and marry Jin Gui as a wife, and she can also look down under the nine springs. ”

"Ah, then Jin Gui is Mrs. Mai?"

Luo Fan exclaimed, he saw that Mrs. Mai was dignified and generous, and he didn't expect that she was also from a Qinglou.

"Yes, I always thought that it was Xianglian's wish, she thought that her body was dirty and she couldn't marry me, so she committed suicide, but I didn't expect that all this was Jin Gui's conspiracy, she killed Xianglian and replaced her!"

Mai Xianling's tone was very angry when he said this.

Chu Qi shouted: "No, Mrs. is not that kind of person, you are talking nonsense!" ”

She was in a hurry, and she didn't even call the master.

"Let me guess, you are so anxious to ask for a seal for Guo Niangzi because what Guo Niangzi did reminded you of Xianglian, and at the same time, Guo Niangzi's death method is the same as Xianglian's originality, are you in love with the house and Wu?" Luo Fan asked.

Mai Xianling nodded: "Later, Lord Qincha found out the clue, I knew that I had been deceived, and I heard the adult say that the woman with a cinnabar mole on the corner of her mouth, my suspicion became bigger and bigger, and I suddenly remembered the story that Jin Gui told me in the past, which was what she saw and heard when she was in the countryside, someone drove a nail into her husband's fontanelle to harm people, and I suddenly thought what if she told not a story, but something she had done?" No sweat medicine, no violence, stunned a person and hung on the beam, I took the work to the autopsy again, and pulled out a thin bamboo nail from Guo Niangzi's fontanelle! Everything is the same as I thought, Xianglian must have been killed by Jin Gui like this, I came back and questioned Jin Gui, she didn't admit it, so angry that I ran to the study to sleep, but I came in the morning to find that she had hanged herself. ”

"Hehe, after talking for a long time, you are more innocent than the yellow flower girl, and the sixth master believes in you to have a ghost. Someone, put our county commander in prison, and cool down. As soon as Zengshou clapped his hands, a guard stepped forward to set up the Mai County Order, and the master was frightened: "Lord Qincha, this matter ...... There must be something strange about this. ”

"What's the matter, I'll pay back 80,000 yuan, take it away."
