Chapter 9: Ironclad Evidence (1)
"Hey, ingots, ingots!" Chao Yu shuddered, and tried to scream twice, but Yuan Bao didn't know where to go. Two or three lanterns were placed in the courtyard, and a faint light came through the window screen. Chaoyu thought to himself, "I've already searched all over here, I'd better go out first, and then come back when I find the ingots!" ”
Thinking of this, Chaoyu began to move towards the door in small steps. With each step, she had to take a few gasps. Suddenly, Chaoyu heard a strange sound in a corner behind him, and his neck instantly became stiff!
The more I didn't want to remember those terrible rumors, the more I rolled in my heart. Chaoyu was almost crying out in fright, but at this moment, a hand quietly stretched out from behind her back, put it on her shoulder, and patted it lightly twice.
"Who, who?" Chaoyu's voice sounded trembling, "Don't, don't scare me, I, I'll go out!" She quickened her pace, and saw that she would be able to go out two more steps, but the hand grabbed her clothes!
"Don't, don't look for me, I didn't do anything!" Chaoyu yelled in fright, alarming Yuan Bao and the others. They ran in with lanterns, and saw a feather duster on Chao Yu's left shoulder, and the corner of the hem of the clothes was hung on the cabinet again, shouting and screaming, without the usual dignified and dignified appearance!
"Sister Chaoyu, don't scream, don't scream, it's not a ghost!" Yuan Bao didn't want to see her make a fool of herself, so she hurriedly took the feather duster away, and untied the corners of her clothes that were hooked, "Look for yourself, there's nothing!" Seeing that there were people around, Chaoyu's courage was much greater, and when she looked back, she blushed first!
Yuan Bao coughed, diverted the topic and said, "Sister Chaoyu, we searched the west courtyard inside and out, but we didn't find the Ruyi, did you remember the wrong place?" Chaoyu shook his head and said, "That's not wrong, I watched her put it away with my own eyes." Yuan Bao leaned over and said, "Sister, you have to think carefully, otherwise Mrs. will be speechless!" ”
Although Yuan Bao was devoted to his wife, Chao Yu and the others also tried their best, but after tossing for more than an hour, they just didn't find the Ruyi. When they went back to the errand, several people drooped their heads and didn't say a word. Qiu Shenglin asked eagerly, "How is it, have you found it?" Chaoyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, "Master, although I didn't find Ruyi, I dare to guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with Ruyi and Mrs.!" ”
"Hmph, you are Madame's dowry girl, how can you take what you say seriously?" Mingxu said, "Master Qiu, it's not that I am a fool, something happened to Mrs. Xin's wife, and the wishful thinking given by Mrs. disappeared, is it really like what her maid said, it doesn't matter at all?" ”
Qiu Shenglin is a very suspicious person, once a shadow of doubt is planted in his heart, even if he doesn't say it, he will definitely find out clearly and clearly. Hearing Mingxu say this, Qiu Shenglin pushed the boat down the water and said, "Then what is Master Mingxu's opinion?" Mingxu humbly bowed, "If Master Qiu believes me, then I'll deduce it!" ”
He poured out a few copper coins from the deerskin bag he was carrying, fell on the table with a "bang", and after only one glance, he said to Qiu Shenglin, "That Ruyi is now in the hands of Mrs. Aunt!" Qiu Shenglin was shocked, "You mean, in, in Chunxi's hands?" ”
"You liar, I can't stand it for a long time!" Lingyu endured it again and again, and saw that he repeatedly pulled Chunxi Death and his wife together, and couldn't help but point to Mingxu's nose and say, "If Ruyi is no longer in Chunxi's hands, what do you say?" ”
Mingxu said calmly, "If Ruyi is not in the hands of Mrs. Xin, I am willing to be punished, even if the girl wants to take my life, there will be no complaints!" Yao pulled Lingyu, shook his head at her, and motioned for her to stop talking. Lingyu didn't listen to persuasion, "There is no basis for what you say, and you can prove it!" ”
"Good!" Qiu Shenglin suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Interesting, I'll be this notary." It's just that Mingxu has already made a bet, Lingyu, what do you say? Lingyu was angry, and said without words, "Then I will let him deal with it!" ”
"Smack!" The two high-fived as evidence, and Qiu Shenglin immediately asked people to light torches and go to the well in the west courtyard to salvage Chunxi's body. Yao said, "Master, since everyone wants to have a result as soon as possible, it is better to go with them!" Qiu Shenglin frowned and said, "The night is dark, I'm worried that Madame won't be able to see that kind of scene!" Yao insisted, "No, the concubine must see it with her own eyes before you can believe it!" ”
At this time, there was already a faint light in the sky, and more than a dozen torches lit up the well in the west courtyard like day! The two bold family members changed the water and leaned down to retrieve the corpses, and the rest of the people stared at the wellhead without blinking, as if they were afraid of missing something.
There were a few sounds of water, and a family member came out of the wellhead and asked the people above to throw the rope down and tie it to Chunxi's body. The people above worked together, and Chunxi's body was dragged up from the well little by little.
The big red wedding dress was wet and sticking to Chunxi's stiff corpse, and her long black hair was scattered, blocking her face. Yao Shi trembled with fright, and the hand that was shrunk in the cuff secretly clenched into a ball, and he barely calmed down. Qiu Shenglin's eyes were fixed on the position of Chunxi's hand under Xifu, but it was covered and he couldn't see anything.
Yuan Bao boldly picked up a branch from the side, carefully lifted the cuffs, and a few torches leaned over, and suddenly saw a bright and dangling object. Lingyu was taken aback, and couldn't help blurting out, "It's Madame's gold-inlaid jade wish!" ”
After saying that, she covered her mouth tightly. Yao Shi only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person leaned on Chaoyu's body, "How can this be, how can it be?" Qiu Shenglin's face darkened for a while, and in front of his subordinates, he still saved face for his wife, "Chaoyu Lingyu, help Mrs. go back!" ”
Yao knew that this time, I was afraid it would be difficult to come out. She wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Ruyi holding tightly in Chunxi's hand, she suddenly deflated again and turned around and left silently. Qiu Shenglin didn't want to look at her, after this incident, he had completely believed Mingxu's words, it seemed that the wife who had spent all his effort to marry the door back then was really a disaster star that would make him in trouble!
"Leave it to the next person here, let's go back first!" Qiu Shenglin had something to ask Mingxu, but Mingxu was not in a hurry, he squatted down, asked for the torch in the hand of the person next to him to take a picture of Chunxi's face and neck, and said to Qiu Shenglin, "Master Qiu, my aunt did not fall into the well and drown, but was strangled alive before being dragged into the well, and the bruises on the neck are evidence!" ”
