The east gradually lit up, as if someone had smeared a faint layer of pink on the pale cyan sky, and there were countless golden rays of light hidden under that layer of pink.

Yin Yuan glanced at Wang Sanniang who was lying on the ground, and walked out of the bedroom with the child in his arms.

Chang Tai moved his arms, which he didn't know why he suddenly felt a little numb, and when he looked up, he looked at Yin Yuan, who had grown into a teenager. Yin Yuan smiled at him. Chang Tai was stunned for a moment, stunned in place.

From the eyebrows and eyes of the young man, he could still vaguely see the traces of the young Yin Yuan, but overnight, a young boy grew into a young man, no matter how you say it, it is hard to believe. He rubbed his eyes, saw the young man standing in the morning light with the child in his arms, a slight stalk in his throat, and asked, "Are you ......?"

"Doesn't Uncle Chang want to know what's going on in this bedroom?"

Yin Yuan said, standing sideways to the side, so that Chang Tai could clearly see the situation in the house.

"Mother, where is my mother? My mother is gone! ”

Wang San also woke up, he staggered in place for a while, put down his wife, who was still holding his body cold, and then rushed into the house with a quick step. Yin Yuan frowned, covered the baby's little ear in his arms with his hand, and then unsurprisingly heard Wang San's mournful wail.

People are like this, they often feel very happy when they harm others, but when this disaster is their turn, they become more pitiful than the other.

Chang Tai glanced at Yin Yuan again, and didn't care about asking, so he rushed into the house. At a glance, he saw Wang Sanniang lying on the ground, with a bloody hole in his chest, and the thick bloody atmosphere in the room told him that Wang Sanniang was killed not long ago. He swept left and right vigilantly, but found no trace of Aunt Li, so he covered his mouth and nose and retreated.

"Where's Aunt Li?"

"He was captured by the people of Hades. She stayed in the mortal world privately, and also injured the lives of the living, and she had to suffer some pain when she was caught. At least I'll have to spend some time in the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Hades, the legendary hell, is a place where people go after death. Chang Tai had heard the fox say, heard Ruyi say it, and even heard Li Mao and Aunt Lu mention it, but now, he heard these two words from the mouth of the young man in front of him, and when the young man talked about it, it was as casual as saying a certain shop in the folk, which made his eyes can't help but darken.

"Who are you?"

Yin Yuan blinked mischievously and said, "It's just that the body is a little longer, and Uncle Chang won't recognize Yin Yuan?" ”

"Are you Yin Yuan?"

"With such an awkward and ugly name, could it be that there is still a pretend?" Yin Yuan wrinkled his nose and handed the child in his arms to Chang Tai: "I know what you want to ask, don't worry, wait for me to tell you slowly." ”

"Wang Sanniang was killed by Aunt Li?"

"Could it be that Uncle Chang thinks it's my hand?" Yin Yuan raised his eyes: "That's right, Wang Sanniang was killed by Aunt Li, and I was standing in front of me at that time." Don't look at me like that, I'm not a relative of the Wang family, and I'm not a member of the government, so I'm not obliged to take care of this gossip. Besides, Aunt Li didn't just pick up someone and kill her, she was revenge. The so-called borrowing money to repay the money, owing life to repay life, this is originally a matter of course, if I hadn't stopped it with my fate, Aunt Li would have launched a madness, maybe she would have slaughtered the entire village. Speaking of which, I'm still their benefactor. ”

Knowing that the young man in front of him was Yin Yuan, Chang Tai's guard in his heart was also a little relaxed, he looked at Yin Yuan's eyes and asked, "Do you know anything?" ”

"Aunt Li, she didn't die of illness, but was killed by the conspiracy of the people of this village. As for the details, I can't disclose it, but the officials and servants should be able to find something in the pit where Aunt Li was buried. ”

While speaking, the village chief walked out of the bedroom with his head down, only to see that his face was pale, his lips were flushed with blue, and he muttered to himself: "Debt collection, this is debt collection!" Dead, all dead! Can't escape, none of us can escape! ”

"Village Chief!" Chang Tai called the village chief and asked unexpectedly: "Aunt Li, she didn't die of illness, right?" ”

"Sick to death? No! She didn't die of illness. She was sick, but she never died. I know what she's waiting for, and our whole village knows what she's holding on for. But the wrong things have been done wrong, and we have no choice but to continue to make mistakes step by step. ”

The village chief spoke incoherently, and rolled down the steps in front of the bedroom door.

"The village chief—"

Chang Tai shouted, and also flew down, blocking the village chief's body that continued to roll.

Yin Yuan's eyes flashed with a bright color, the corners of his mouth playfully lifted upward, and then he also walked up, leaned over, and whispered in his ear: "Aunt Li said that her husband and children died miserably, so she crawled back from hell." She said that she wanted the lives of all your villagers, and she would take out all your hearts and intestines with her own hands to see if your hearts were black or red. ”

The village chief covered his ears in fear, his head shook like a rattle, and his mouth kept saying, "It's not me!" Not me! I can't help it, I really can't help it. I was the head of a village, and at that time, I had to make that choice. She shouldn't blame me, if she wants to complain, she should blame the world at that time, and complain about why the shepherd in her family is better off than others. Silver! So much silver is enough to save the lives of our whole village, but the shepherd has to be smuggled out of the village. Since his heart is not for the whole of our village, it is no wonder that the villagers want his silver. ”

"Do you just want his money?" Yin Yuan approached the village chief again: "Aren't you asking for his life?" ”

"Accident! It was just an accident! ”

The village chief raised his eyes to look at Yin Yuan, but his tone was panicked, and even lowered his voice little by little in Yin Yuan's gaze.

"Was it just an accident?" Yin Yuan got up and looked at the pale red on the horizon covered by the gold brought by the morning light: "Do you know that the silver on the shepherd's body is the income of Aunt Li from selling all the property in the family?" You know, because you are the same ones who take advantage of the fire and keep the goods and the property very low. For example, the small dressing cabinet you gave to Wang Sanniang, the village chief, is the one with the bronze mirror embedded in it, and you bought it from Aunt Li at a deliberately low price.

The dresser was an item purchased by the shepherd when she and Aunt Li got married, and it was purchased from Yunzhai all the way away. Because of the long distance, and the shepherd was reluctant to spend the money required to hire manpower, so he drove the dresser back with the sheep cart, and almost overturned halfway, although the man and the sheep had nothing to do, but the dresser was knocked out of a corner.

Although you are the village chief, your greedy personality is no different from those villagers. You knew that Aunt Li sold these things to buy back her daughter, but you still ruthlessly lowered the price and bought back the cabinet with a very small amount of silver. You are like this, and so are the villagers, but when you come, you are still jealous of why the shepherd has those silver taels in his hands, and why the shepherd does not take out the silver to buy food for you? Are you shameless? ”

The village chief lowered his head and did not speak, because he knew in his heart that what Yin Yuan said was the truth.

"Okay, let's take a step back for a moment. If the shepherds are killed because you have been blinded by the white money and have done things that have lost your conscience. And what about children? Why did you kill Aunt Li's child again? Do you know that when Aunt Li found the body of the shepherd, she had chosen to remain silent because of her child, but you still refused to stop. ”

"Nope! It's not us, it's Guangmao, it's Guangmao who saw Aunt Li go to the backyard of Wang San's house, and because he was worried that the things of the year would be exposed, so he notified us. It was also Guangmao who sneaked into Aunt Li's house and brought the child out. The village chief waved his hand again and again: "The death of this child is really an accident, I swear, it is really an accident, even Guangmao himself, he never thought of the child's life." We just wanted to use that child to threaten Aunt Li, to keep her silent, to make her grit her teeth, and to act as if she didn't find out about it. As long as she doesn't say it, we are willing to take care of her and the child, we have reached a consensus, we really have a consensus, we are willing to bear everything that her child needs in the future.

However, we didn't expect that the child would wake up as soon as he was taken to Wang San's house. He looked at us with fear in his eyes, and then opened his mouth to scream. We all know that at that time, Aunt Li was behind a wall, and if he heard the child's screams, I was afraid that things would become more complicated and worse. In a hurry, it was Wang Sanniang who covered the child's mouth and asked Guangmao to press his legs and feet tightly, not letting him move or shout. ”

"So, you killed that child?"

"Nope! No! We didn't kill the child. The village chief waved his hand several times in succession: "I was there at the time, I told the child, don't panic." Because there was a wolf in the village, I brought him to my house for his safety. I told him to be quiet, because if he howled, he would summon the wolf. A child, after all, is a child, he believed me, nodded, and closed his mouth himself. He asked me, where is Aunt Li? I said send someone to look for it, and I'll be back in a moment. ”

"In that case, how did Aunt Li'er's child die?"

"I don't know! All I know is that not long after the child was quiet, the voice of Aunt Li looking for the child came from next door. I was worried that Aunt Li would find out the secret of this courtyard, so I first sent some people out, asked them to pretend to hear Aunt Li's shouts to check, and then had the children secretly transferred to the cellar of Wang San's house. When I finally appeased Aunt Li and returned to the cellar to discuss the follow-up with everyone, I found that the child was no longer alive.

Subsequently, I also conducted an investigation, and some people said that Wang Po was worried that the child was screaming and fed the child, and some people said that they saw Guangmao stabbing the child with something, and they were worried that the child would scream, so they choked him by the throat and strangled him. ”

"Poisoning and strangulation are two completely different states of death, and you, as the village chief, didn't check it at that time?"
