Hearing Yuan Bao reprimand Kai Tai in the tone of his master, Qiu Shenglin did not stop it, but followed his words, "Kai Tai, do you hear clearly, what Yuan Bao means is what I mean, say, who instructed you to exchange the fake account book for my real account book!" ”

He slammed the fake ledger on the table with a "snap", and it happened that Yao Shi entered the door with Sai Hongchen and Fang Qiao'er outside the door. Forget about others, Hongchen almost fell. Yao looked back at her vigilantly, and she quickly explained, "Oh, the threshold of the master's study is too high, and every time you come in, you have to trip up." When Qiu Shenglin saw them coming, he asked, "You've heard about it, ma'am, what do you think I should do with Kaitai?" ”

Yao sat down under the Qiusheng Forest and said unhurriedly, "Master, I thought that Kaitai had been with you for so many years, and he was sensible before. This grace and power are applied to him, and it is also appropriate. Kaitai, today I will make the decision for the master, if you are willing to show the truth, I will spare you this time, and still let you serve in the mansion. ”

Kaitai kowtowed heavily on the ground, "Little Master Xie, Mrs. Xie!" I say, I say it all! He was about to go on, but Sai Hongchen suddenly exaggerated "oops", covered his stomach and said, "Master, the concubine must have eaten something bad, and if she wants to go to the thatched house, she won't accompany you and his wife!" ”

"You used dinner with your wife and them, why did you eat it alone, I see, you have a ghost in your heart!" Qiu Shenglin snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that I don't know that you are a spy sent to me by Sai Wenchang, a Cuiliu failed to succeed, so he redeemed himself for you and put it by my side, and it is not bad for Kaitai!" ”

Hearing him say this, Kaitai kowtowed to pound garlic, and cried, "Master, master, sure enough, you are clever and know everything!" The boss found the small one and said that as long as he helped him find the account book, he would give the small fifty taels. But today, his people made an appointment to meet in the teahouse in the back street, and this time they didn't want the ledger, so I asked me to exchange this fake book for the real one! ”

"Bastard thing!" Under the anger, the flesh on Qiu Shenglin's face trembled, "It's a shame that I treat you as a person, but you do something that is not as good as a pig and a dog!" Seeing that he was annoyed, Yao Shi hurriedly helped him to calm down and said, "Master, now is not the time to blame Kaitai." Kaitai, let me ask you, after exchanging the fake ledger for the real ledger, do you still want to meet again? ”

Now, Kaitai has nothing to hide," the man said, if it is done, let me carve a cross on the wall next to the back door, and he will know. Yao Shi turned to Qiu Shenglin and said, "I think this is a good opportunity, please enter the urn!" The moment Qiu Shenglin met her eyes, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's thoughts.

"Yuanbao, take Kaitai to the back firewood room, let people look at him, don't eat or drink less, and don't let him die!" Qiu Shenglin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the tea bowl, and suddenly skimmed the trembling Sai Hongchen, his brows furrowed together, "As for you......"

His voice was elongated, as if he hadn't made up his mind. The last line of defense in Sai Hongchen's heart suddenly collapsed, she knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Master, for the sake of my dedication to serving you, just let me go." A woman like me is just a plaything, Sai Wenchang bought me, and he started to calculate your mind, and I was forced to do it! ”

"Forget it!" Qiu Shenglin waved his hand and said, "Go back to your house, don't come out again." Wu'er, serve your aunt and wife well, and don't allow her to pass on the news to the outside, otherwise I will ask you! The master and servant nodded again and again, and withdrew. Yao Shi glanced at Fang Qiao'er, signaling that there was no place for Sai Hongchen here, and her day of emergence had finally come.

But Fang Qiao'er kept hanging her head and didn't see it. Yao had no choice but to say, "Master, after Sister Qiao'er entered the door, you haven't accompanied her properly, and I'm tired, so I'll go back first, and leave her here to serve you." With that, Yao was leaving.

Qiu Shenglin stood up and grabbed her and said, "I have to go to the Buddha Hall in a while, it is not appropriate to get close to women, let her go back first." Fang Qiao'er stood up with a blushing face and said, "What the master said is that the concubine will retire first." ”

After she left, Yao complained, "People have sent the beauty to you, and you still don't appreciate it!" Qiu Shenglin smiled bitterly, "Zhilan, I'm really scared." This one and two have calculated my heart, one Sai Hongchen is enough, this Fang Qiao'er I will listen to your words and keep it in the mansion well, as for the rest, she should not be delusional. ”

According to Kaitai, Yuan Bao carved a cross on the wall next to the back door, and when he turned around to close the door, he found that behind the big tree opposite, there was a figure sneaky. He hurriedly returned, "Master, the cross has been carved, and I have seen that someone seems to be guarding the back door, sneaky." I was afraid of startling the snake, so I didn't go over. ”

"Well done," Qiu Shenglin said tiredly, "you go and see if the master has returned, just say that I have something to ask him to discuss." After a while, the ingots led Mingxu to come.

"Master Qiu!" Mingxu's shoes were still stained with undried mud, apparently just returning home. Qiu Shenglin hurriedly got up and said, "It's hard work, sit down." Yuanbao, go and bring hot water to clean the master's hands and face, and then serve hot tea and snacks! ”

After a busy day, Mingxu said, "Fortunately, I have lived up to Master Qiu's instructions, and twelve of the thirteen corpses have been found. Qiu Shenglin's heart was a little steady, "Thank you Master for bothering, just with the rest of the body?" ”

Mingxu said, "This skeleton was originally just a baby girl who died at birth, and there was no tombstone at that time, let alone a grave, and even her family can't tell where she was buried at that time, but it must be within this range." ”

"This is very difficult," the haze in Qiu Shenglin's eyes became heavier, "A little baby with small ears, whose bones have not yet grown, has long turned into a pinch of dust in the wind and sun of the mass grave, how can I find this?" ”

Yao said, "Now I can only ask the old people where they left that poor child." The old man is relieved, with Master Mingxu here, everything will be safe and smooth. Qiu Shenglin reluctantly cheered up and said, "Borrow Mrs. Jiyan, master, then please you, I will also ask Yuanbao to ask the old man back then, maybe I can help you." ”

This night, Qiu Shenglin was exhausted and fell asleep early. In the dream, he was walking on a strange path, and in front of him was a little girl wearing a red cotton jacket. Although the little girl walked very slowly, Qiu Shenglin just couldn't keep up with her.
