Chapter 5: Scared to death
Before Xiao Huwei entered the house, he saw Dong Fangyu looking at the fence from a distance. He hurried up to meet him, took off his straw hat and looked left and right, and then said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”
After entering the house, Dong Fangyu immediately asked: "Huwei, the Qi family is noisy, what happened?" ”
"Qi Erfeng has come back to life."
"What! Didn't Da Lang poison her......"
"Shhhh Immediately write a letter to the capital and tell the seventh master. Xiao Huwei said with a calm face.
"Seventh Master? Oh, Da Lang is ...... now"
"Fangyu! Da Lang is dead, there is no Xiao Da Lang in this world, only Xiao Qiye. Do you understand? ”
Dong Fangyu's face turned pale, lowered her head and said, "I know." ”
"Let's go, look at the Qi family's commotion, Li Zheng will come to the door soon."
As he was talking, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Grandpa Xiao! Grandma Dong! Are you at home? ”
Xiao Huwei gave Dong Fangyu a look and motioned her to hurry up and write a letter. Then, he pushed the door and went out, and saw Qi Xiaolong probing his brain at the gate of the courtyard.
When Xiao Huwei and Qi Xiaolong arrived at Qi's house, they saw Du Cuihua crying to Lizheng.
"Lizheng, tell me, should they pay for this money? Even if the family is not in debt, it is always appropriate to honor your parents, right? ”
Qi Erfeng frowned: "You said before that this money is a debt owed by the family, and you can't take out the IOU, so you start looking for reasons for your children and grandchildren to be filial." After all, you just want to blackmail us for 50 taels of silver! ”
"How can this be called falsehood? Your grandfather and I are supporting such a big family, is it easy for us? Now you have to set up your own doors, and the main labor has been withdrawn from your homes, so you will naturally have to come up with the money. Otherwise, how will you make our family live? This is going to kill our whole family! Youli was present, and Du Cuihua spoke a little politely.
Xiao Huwei walked over and bowed to Li Zheng.
"Xiao Huwei, you came just in time." Li Zheng is sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and strong spirits, "Erfeng, this child married to your family yesterday, and was sent back to his parents' house with a coffin today, what is going on?" ”
"This ......" Xiao Huwei glanced at Qi Erfeng and saw that the other party was also looking at him. A pair of apricot eyes are very clear, not as chaotic as yesterday, just like a different person.
Seeing him hesitate, Li Zheng said with a calm face: "Xiao Huwei, don't you swallow and vomit, although Erfeng has come back to life, the previous thing is not over, a life!" If you don't say one, two, or three today, there are still things I can't control about the county master! ”
"That's right! Xiao Huwei, you say! How did Erfeng get killed by you? Li Xiulan asked with a glare.
"Li Zheng, Qi Erfeng is...... Scared to death. ”
"What?!" After the crowd exclaimed, they began to whisper.
Qi Erfeng frowned, this was different from her impression. Looking up at Xiao Huwei's expression again, he found that he avoided eye contact with her, and only cared about explaining to Lizheng.
"How scared to death? I don't believe it! Li Xiulan shouted.
Xiao Huwei frowned, with a look of disgust: "Besides, our family originally married Erfeng to give Da Lang Chong joy, but I didn't expect she, a woman from Kefu, to kill Da Lang!" Da Lang was in pain and hideous when he died, and it was retribution that she would be scared to death! ”
Qi Erfeng was silent, secretly weighing the truth and the way back, and an idea in his heart gradually became clear.
In the capital, in the guest room of Tong Mansion, Xiao Hongluo opened the flying pigeon biography that had just come from Hegou Village. The above made his brow furrow more and more, and finally waved his hand and wrote a reply.
That night, Dong Fangyu received a letter from the capital, on which there was only one word from the pen Feng Cangjian: Kill!
