Chapter 240: It's up to you to help the spirit
After Peng Shanjun left, those who besieged him quickly evacuated.
Only then did the guards find that Peng Shanjun was gone.
"This ...... My lord...... Adults are gone! ”
"How's that for good? Your Excellency, he'll be fine, right? ”
"Don't worry, I just saw the leader running away with the adult, and we can't find where the adult is at this time, just go to the county government and wait."
After some debate, the decision was finally made.
The black-clothed assassin quickly returned to the county seat, entered a restaurant, and met a person in a private room.
The man had his back to the door, dressed in blue, standing by the window, and his long posture was a back, which also made people think about it.
"My lord, it didn't work out." The Assassin proclaimed.
"Oh? What's going on? Isn't it foolproof? The man let out a slightly surprised sigh and then asked lightly.
"It's not clear specifically, the secret son who was placed next to Peng Shanjun left with Peng Shanjun, originally to take Peng Shanjun's life, but Peng Shanjun's body was not seen, but the secret son died."
The man turned around, with a handsome face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it was Meng Yunzhou, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"So, somebody intervened? Do you say that Peng Shanjun secretly made the arrangement himself, or is there a third-party force? Meng Yunzhou asked with a smile.
"My subordinates don't know." The Assassin replied in a low voice.
"That's it, this matter was originally a favor for Cen Shan, since it can't be stopped, then forget it. This county is afraid that the sky will change soon. Meng Yunzhou narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
"But Cen Shan is our person after all, what does this change of heaven mean?"
"Okay, you shouldn't worry about it, so what to worry about, go down." Meng Yunzhou didn't reply to his words, and said lightly.
"Yes, my subordinates obey." The Assassin retreated, without the slightest hesitation.
After the man left, Meng Yunzhou turned around and faced the street, leaning obliquely against the window, watching the people coming and going below, a faint streamer flashed in his eyes.
This time, Cen Shan asked him to do something to Peng Shanjun, naturally in order to drag down Peng Shanjun's footsteps and prevent him from returning to the county seat, so that the county seat is the biggest in Cen Shan, and no one is qualified to argue with him what he wants to do.
And kill Peng Shanjun, Cen Shan can directly lead the leaderless county officials with the highest official position of county lieutenant, even if the top wants to send another county order over, it will take months to say the least, and in these months, Cen Shan is a well-deserved king.
It's a pity that the plan didn't work, and Peng Shanjun ran away.
Since Peng Shanjun has run away, he will definitely return to the county seat.
At that time, Cen Shan and Peng Shanjun will definitely have a dragon fight.
It stands to reason that he and Cen Shan are people on one side, so naturally they want to help Cen Shan, but now, he has more important tasks to do, and he can't interfere in Cen Shan's affairs to expose his strength and identity.
So even if he gave up Cen Shan's chess piece, he couldn't expose it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the initiator of all this, Bai Qiuluo.
He had met Bai Qiuluo several times, and Bai Qiuluo's shock and strange attitude towards him when they first met, and his later respect and distance from him, and his alienation and indifference, all made him extremely interested in this woman.
Especially, these days, he always dreams of a picture.
In the picture, he and Bai Qiuluo snuggled together intimately.
But he was very sure that he didn't know Bai Qiuluo before.
"Bai Qiuluo, who are you?" Meng Yunzhou muttered in a low voice, and the light in his eyes kept flickering and disappearing.
……
The news that Bai Zixin was taken away because he was involved in the murder case quickly spread throughout Xiaoxi Village, and many people gathered outside the Bai family's old mansion, wanting to know the follow-up as soon as possible.
Bai Qiuluo didn't have the heart to care about the thoughts of those villagers who wanted to see the excitement, and after knowing that Shao Nanchu had already made arrangements for her father's affairs, she stopped worrying about it and helped Chen Ping to get busy with her family's affairs.
The day of Old Man Bai's funeral was originally set for tomorrow, which happened to be the first seven days of Old Man Bai, but Bai Zixin was taken the lead by the people of the Yamen today, and there will definitely be no way to send the old man to the end tomorrow.
But the weather is getting hotter, and the old man's body has been put away for five or six days, and even if it has been treated, it has begun to emit the smell of corpses, and it will definitely not work if he is not buried.
And whether it is a red thing or a white thing, pay attention to an auspicious time, since Mr. Feng Shui has already calculated the auspicious time for burial, he can't easily change it, otherwise it will be unlucky.
So Bai Qiuluo deliberately went to find the Wang family because of the old man's burial.
Although Wang was lying in bed to recuperate because of a near-stroke, she was in good spirits after two or three days of recuperation, and she already knew about Bai Zixin's accident.
So after Bai Qiuluo explained her intentions, she squinted her eyes and was silent.
"Originally, according to your wishes, I asked my father to help the spirit, send my father to the end, and let him be buried in peace, but now that my father has an accident, there will definitely be no way to solve the matter tomorrow, so I may have to go to the second uncle."
The Bai family originally had three men, Bai Zichao, Bai Zidan, and Bai Zixin.
Bai Zichao killed the old man and died again, he must have no chance of the old man's future, and Bai Zidan was disgusted with the Wang family who might have had a stroke, but he happened to be heard by the Wang family who woke up, so he disliked him and didn't want him to send the old man to the end, so Bai Zixin was ordered.
Now Bai Zixin suddenly had an accident again, and he couldn't send the old man to the end, so he had to ask Bai Zidan for the end.
"Don't look for him." Wang Shi opened his mouth low, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Bai Qiuluo's eyes widened in surprise slightly.
You must know that for a long time, the Wang family has been concerned about the end of the pension.
It was because he cared about the rules of sending the eldest son to help the soul at the end of the day, so he doted on Bai Zichao and spoiled him into a lawless character.
Now that Bai Zichao is dead, something has happened to Bai Zixin, Bai Qiuluo thought that the Wang family would definitely ask Bai Zidan to do this, but he didn't want the Wang family to have that plan at all.
The Wang family seemed to know what Bai Qiuluo was thinking, glanced at her, and said lightly: "If there is no filial piety, the heart is not sincere and true, even if it is given to the old man, it will not let the old man's soul rest in peace." ”
Bai Qiuluo was slightly silent when he heard this.
Maybe because she is also a lonely soul worn by a soul from another world, so for the soul, the ghost and god are not so repulsive.
She can occupy other people's bodies in the state of a soul and live, why can't others have souls after death?
If the old man really had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely not be willing to let Bai Zidan send him to the end.
Although Bai Zidan didn't do anything to hurt his old man, that person was selfish and only cared about himself, and he wanted to use the old man's funeral to benefit himself.
"What does that mean postponing the funeral?" Bai Qiuluo asked.
Wang looked straight at Bai Qiuluo and stared at it for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "No, if you don't postpone it, you will go out of the funeral according to the original plan." ”
"The one who helped the spirits?" Bai Qiuluo was slightly surprised, but still asked.
"You."
"Me?" Bai Qiuluo pointed to his nose, shocked and shocked.
She heard it right, Wang actually said that she should help the spirit!
She is a girl, and the people who have come to help the soul to die are all men in the family, even if there is no male in the family, she will also invite the men of relatives to do it, and then wrap a thick gift.
But although the Bai family is a little fragmented now, there is still a Bai Zidan, so she can't take her turn.
Although in modern times, there is only one daughter in the family, and it is normal for a daughter and son-in-law to support the spirit, but this is in ancient times......
Bai Qiuluo couldn't hide his shock as he looked at Wang's gaze.
Wang's face was still calm, and he said indifferently: "Your father has loved you since he was a child, and he has been helping you all these days, and now that he is gone, you should always repay him, right?" Are you reluctant? ”
Bai Qiuluo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not reluctant, if the milk is okay, I have no opinion." ”
"Then it's decided." Wang didn't say anything, nodded slightly.
Although Bai Qiuluo didn't understand Wang's attitude, since the matter was settled, she didn't stay long and left Wang's room directly.
"What do you say?" Chen Ping was outside, her face was still haggard, and when she saw Bai Qiu falling out, she asked.
"My grandmother means that you don't need to look for the second uncle, just let me help the spirit." Bai Qiuluo told Wang's attitude.
Chen Ping was also stunned: "How can your milk be?" ”
How disgusted the Wang family is, they all know it in their hearts, so the big change in Wang's attitude is not only incomprehensible to Bai Qiuluo, but also Chen Ping can't accept it.
"I don't know, anyway, since she said so, then let's do it, there's nothing wrong with it."
Bai Qiuluo was talking, and a few people came in from outside the door, it was Steward Lin who had come the day before yesterday.
Can't bear it so much? I just caught someone and left at noon, so I'm coming to find her at this time! Bai Qiuluo saw Steward Lin, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he thought.
Chen Ping also saw Steward Lin and others, she had just experienced Bai Zixin's arrest, and she was full of anxiety at the moment, and any slightest disturbance could make her sensitive and angry.
So when he saw Steward Lin, who had come two days earlier and threatened Bai Qiuluo, his whole person became sharp.
"Didn't Qiuluo say that she wouldn't go to treat your son-in-law, what else are you going to do? What do you want to do? Chen Ping protected Bai Qiuluo behind him and spoke angrily.
Steward Lin was like a thief, he didn't care, just said lightly: "Madam, don't worry, I didn't mean to threaten the slightest bit this time, I'm here to deliver good news to the two of you." ”
Chen Ping was still vigilant: "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush." ”
Steward Lin didn't care if he was choked, he looked at Bai Qiuluo behind Chen Ping and said, "My lord said that as long as you promise to treat my son-in-law, he will find a way to help your father prove his innocence, so that he will not be guilty." ”
Chen Ping's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she trembled: "You...... Are you serious? ”
"Naturally it's true, it's true, as long as your daughter follows me to treat our son-in-law, my family will help Bai Zixin find evidence to prove that he didn't kill him, and return his innocence." Steward Lin saw that Chen Ping was moved, and said lightly.
In his heart, he was disdainful, and he looked like he would rather die earlier, but now he is not going to succumb to power.
Chen Ping wanted to open her mouth to respond, but then thought that this was Bai Qiuluo's matter, so she held back and didn't give her the decision.
It's just that when Chen Ping looked back at Bai Qiuluo, her eyes were full of expectation.
