Chapter 6 The Skin of the Beauty in Red
"Can the shopkeeper tell me more about the body found tonight?"
Then the wind did not ask, the shopkeeper replied respectfully: "Oh, that's the case, tonight is Wu Xiaoer's vigil, I heard the sound of Tianzi No. 3 room, so I came to wake me up to inquire together, and after a while, we walked to the front of room No. 3, there was no light in the house, and no one answered the door for a long time, so we slammed on the door and entered, the inner room was dark, and we saw the female corpse lying in the middle by the faint light in our hands. . . . It's really scared that my three souls are gone. Hurriedly exited the door, fearing that the unclean thing had not yet left. So I sent Xiao Er to invite a Mr. Yin and Yang to come, just in case. After that, he stayed outside the door, and after a while, the female guest in the next room and the two guests in the downstairs bunk followed. ”
"Do you know who the dead are?"
"Knowledge... Know... Get.... It is the widow of the squire He who died in the west of the city in the mountains and forests a while ago......"
After saying this, everyone was afraid!
"It must be that ghost who haunted their He family!"
"Both families died, this sneak is too fierce!" The room was full of discussions
.
"The widow of a squire in the west of the city?"
"This Mrs. He, He Liuhong, but we are celebrities in ten miles and eight towns, and the anecdotes and gossip about this husband and wife are not often said.
He Liuhong's family was originally the daughter of a tenant belonging to He Squire, and it happened that the harvest was poor in a dry year, and Liu's father owed the squire a large amount of rent, so in order to make a living for the whole family, he had to marry his young daughter to the squire.
He Squire has always been known for being greedy for money and lustful, and there are 13 aunts in the backyard, all of whom are poor and pretty girls from compradors everywhere, and it is strange to say, but these cardamom women are all thin-lived, so several rooms are like marquees.
The daughter of the Liu family was strong and stubborn, refused to marry and fled for a few days, but then obediently returned to marry the squire.
Since beating Liu Hong into the door, she is beautiful, spicy and jealous, and I don't know what means to use, so that He Squire scattered a few aunts, and then the maids in the connected room didn't dare to accept it...."
"It's only 20 miles west of the city, so why do you have to stay in a hotel?" The wind did not interrupt the shopkeeper's gossip that was getting more and more vigorous.
"The two have been married for only two years, Squire He is dying, and the lady of the He family is only an eighteen-year-old beauty, and she has never had an heir, loneliness is inevitable, and the little one guesses...... It should be for tomorrow's moon and Gu Dan to grab the first incense nearby. ”
"Hey! Widow? Worship the moon girl? Interesting? A cloth cloth next to him asked with a lewd smile on his face
"Mrs. He is bold, you must have seen it today, and it is understandable that Aunt Bai Yue will continue a good marriage."
"Since you are a celebrity in the township, what kind of lady does you know in the inn today?"
"Distinguished guests, we are a small county in Lingguang, the population is not large, the inn is a place for travelers to stay, and the shop is only a sharp stay business, if it is not for the moon and the moon tomorrow, there are few people in the county to stay. So if you want to say that you know Mrs. He, it should be only me and Wu Xiaoer. ”
Turning around and looking at the people in the room, there were four people in the hall at this time, in addition to himself and the shopkeeper.
The two cloth clothes were the two who were whispering outside the room of Tianzi No. 3 when the wind did not come to check just now.
The other two came when he entered the room to check, a little scholar dressed plainly, and a slightly more luxurious boy in brocade.
"All the guests are here today?"
"There are also the female guests of the second room of Tianzi who left just now, together with a female guest from the second place." The shopkeeper replied
"Have you ever heard anything strange tonight?"
"The guest in the No. 1 room under the ground, about midnight, was woken up by a noise outside the house, and then came to see what was going on. Xu is far away, and he is half asleep, and he can't tell what is making a noise. "The brocade boy who speaks is dignified.
"The contemptible only heard the sound of porcelain breaking in the middle of the night, and then it was the sound of banging on the door, the contemptible man was a pawn, living downstairs through the shop, and he was bored at night, so he wanted to come and see the excitement, and wanted to go home to brag to the master, and maybe he could ask for some reward!" One of the cloth clothes said.
Another man in cloth next to him came together with a flattering face: "This nobleman, I have a shop with him, follow me to have a lively look, I am a peddler, all day long in the north and south, I must have heard or seen such strange things, according to me it must be done by ghosts, you see, this woman is bright red, the most love to provoke those unclean things, today is the dark clouds covering the full moon, at this time it is the time of the child, it is the intersection of yin and yang for the conjunction of yin, it is ......
Before he could finish speaking, he walked past the peddler and asked the little scholar in plain clothes next to him.
"What about this son? Have you ever heard a strange noise? ”
"Xiaosheng.... It is the same as everyone, and the little student lives in a herringbone room. I heard a lot of noise in the middle of the night before I came out to look. ”
"A herringbone? Diagonally across from here? ”
"Exactly..... Xiao Sheng slept deeply, and heard a sound in a daze, until he woke up with the horror of the female corpse when he walked into the room and saw it! "The plain-clothed scholar is thin and elegant.
