Chapter 258: It was Lao Wang who died next door

An Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, little lady." It's good if there are no homicides, and if you don't make it to the Lantern Festival, you'll have to wait another year. I heard that this year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited a famous craftsman from Nandi to make lanterns, and there are many new things! ”

"And the iron flower looks! I remember, I watched it when my little lady was eight years old! ”

Min Weixiu was also curious, "Hit the iron flower, do you want to fight the iron flower in Kaifeng City?" ”

There are many people in Kaifeng City, there are many houses, and the iron sparks are splashing everywhere, and the palace is afraid of splashing the nobles, and I am afraid that I will accidentally go to the water, so there will be very few performances of this.

The prince is not doing well this year, but he wants to perform in front of the official family and the queen mother, so he has spent a lot of thought to prepare for this year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

"It's a pity, if only our tomb and Shangyuan Festival could be played, wouldn't it be a great wonder in Kaifeng?" Min Weixiu was quite sorry.

Hehe, if you trick the prince of the official family and Liu Luan into scaring them, wouldn't it be a lot of fun.

Jiang Yanzhi knew Min Weixiu's thoughts, and he also fantasized about it, and said to Min Weixiu seriously, "It's okay, it's past the Shangyuan Festival, and there is also the Zhongyuan Festival." The Midyear Festival is also called the Ghost Festival, let's call them to play that day, that's interesting! ”

……

In the palace, the official who was discussing with Lu Xianggong sneezed, "That dead child of Yanzhi, shouldn't he be thinking about how to cheat his father again?" I've always had a sense of foreboding lately. ”

Lu Xianggong touched his beard and showed a charming smirk, "The three kings are generous and upright, maybe they are thinking about how to be filial to the official family." ”

……

Min Weixiu and Jiang Yanzhi thought about the beautiful scenery of them lying down and collecting money in the future, and got out of the carriage to see the dummy.

As soon as I got closer, I heard an eldest lady muttering, "It's really miserable, this old king, he hasn't been in the New Year, why did he suddenly fall to his death?" ”

Another village woman answered, "No, I heard it's haunted." What kind of bad luck has our village had? Alas, I'm afraid that the feng shui of this piece is not good, and the ...... in the early years "

"Don't say anything, if the ghost hears it, it will be miserable to come to look for you...... According to me, let's go back sooner, it's weird. ”

An eldest lady glanced at everyone with disdain, "What are you afraid of, you haven't done anything wrong, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." I can't tell you how. ”

Min Weixiu patted him on the shoulder, got out of the carriage, walked towards the group of women who were gossiping, and asked curiously, "Auntie, Da Zhengyue, who is so bad?" ”

The eldest lady glanced at her, "You said that the old Wang family, it's not bad." Last night, he fell and died, and his eyes were wide open! I'm scared to death! ”

As she spoke, she looked around mysteriously and said in a low voice, "I heard that their house is haunted!" It's all retribution. ”

At this time, another lady next to her recognized Min Weixiu and said tremblingly, "Isn't this the little lady who went to Liu's house that day?" It's the one that can kick the door away with one kick! ”

Min Weixiu smiled wryly, people are really afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong......

The eldest lady said curiously: "Which door are you going to kick today?" Wait for me, I'll grab some melon seeds! ”

Min Weixiu was a little embarrassed, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, why don't you move a free chair to lie down and watch the play?

The conversation outside the house was too loud, and the people in the house heard the movement, and Yan Niang ran out in a hurry, and said with worry and joy, "The nobles are still invited into the house, it's very cold outside." We've been working all night to make seven brides. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while. ”

Jiang Yan was very surprised when he heard it, which was much faster than he imagined.

He was about to lift his leg into the yard when he saw a young man about fifteen years old rushing out, hugging his leg and crying: "This official, you are an official, right?" That Liu Xi abuses his daughter-in-law, you can take care of this kind of thing. You can take care of my father, my father will not be blind to death, there must be grievances in it! ”

"My father is very sharp, he is the only hunter in the village, how can he fall to his death in a good way? Someone must have killed him! ”

He said, pointing to Assistant Teacher Liu standing in the courtyard, "That's him, I heard him arguing with my father yesterday!" He must have killed my dad! ”

Assistant Teacher Liu was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense!" I've been working hard for the past few days, where will I kill people. Besides, I didn't quarrel with your father alone yesterday, why don't you talk about Liu Quan who lives on the other side? He also quarreled with your father. ”

The boy bit his lip, "Liu Quan...... Liu Quan is also possible. In short, my dad is strong in martial arts, and he will never fall! ”

Jiang Yanzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Whether he fell to his death or was killed by someone, let's take a look and find out." ”

"Little stone, come back quickly, don't disturb the nobles, your father is gone, don't toss around, let him settle in the ground as soon as possible." At the door, a woman dressed in linen and filial piety stood there expressionlessly and beckoned to the young man named Xiaoshi.

Jiang Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, but he felt that there was a problem, turned around, and walked towards the courtyard of Lao Wang's house next door.

"Let's go, Weixiu, let's go see what's going on!"

Min Weixiu nodded, and naturally followed, leaving An Xi to cry without tears, little lady, have you forgotten to hit the iron flower?

It was an ordinary small farmhouse courtyard, not much different from the Liuxi house they had visited, and a swarthy coffin was placed in the main hall.

A girl of about fourteen years old was kneeling there, burning paper money with red eyes.

Seeing Min Weixiu and Jiang Yanzhi coming in, he hurriedly hid behind the woman, looking a little cowardly.

In the coffin, there was a middle-aged man who was a little fat, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out, which looked very terrifying.

"It's very likely that the deceased saw something extremely frightening when he was alive, you can see the expression on his face." Jiang Yanzhi said seriously.

As he spoke, he picked up Lao Wang's head and looked at it, "There is a hole in the back of the head, and there are still broken stone slags that have not been cleaned up, which should have fallen on the big bluestone." ”

Min Weixiu nodded, remembering the gossip of the big ladies before, "I heard that your house is haunted, but there is such a thing?" ”

No one spoke in the room, Min Weixiu gave Jiang Yanzhi a look, and then walked out, sure enough, I saw the lady running over with this handful of melon seeds and stuffing them into Min Weixiu's hands, "My own fried one, is it fragrant?" How's that, what's going on, the old woman isn't late, is she? ”

"No......" Min Weixiu said speechlessly, "Speaking of the eldest lady, what is the haunting you are talking about?" ”

The eldest lady spit out a mouthful of melon seed skin and said mysteriously, "Don't you know? The two surnamed Liu next door are a house rented by outsiders in the village, they don't know that the one they live in is a murderous house! Three years ago, a little girl hanged herself in that house! ”
