Chapter 169: Extinguishing the Mouth
Hua Jin watched Xuan Fei in front of him take out a dagger from his sleeve robe, turned to her and said, "Follow me." There were three people behind him, but his eyes were looking at her alone.
Hua Jin quickly kept up with Xuanfei, and now they are the safest choice to walk together. If they are divided into two teams, if there is any accident, Xuan Fei will not be able to distract himself from taking care of these female dependents.
She is a powerless little girl, and not dragging him back in case of trouble is the best help for him.
After all, the peach on her side was just a maid in the inner house, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time, Hua Jin saw that she barely mustered up the courage to make a protective gesture on her side.
But Du Niangzi beside her, her eyes kept shuttling through the alleys, her eyes were fearless and still so frank.
Xuan Fei's footsteps stopped at the door of a house, the low wooden door was half-hidden, and the door god attached to it was already dilapidated, as if it would be broken when the wind blew.
He pushed the wooden door open and turned at the same time; "Don't come in yet, wait for me here."
Xuanfei's prudence made Hua Jin nervous, still remembering that the voice just now was definitely not something that people could make under normal circumstances.
Suddenly, a pale, bloodless, and crumpled hand stretched out from the bottom of the wooden door, and just as Xuan Fei was about to enter the courtyard, it hung limply on the surface of his feet.
Zhi Tao couldn't help but let out a scream, and Hua Jin's heart also rose.
"Someone...... Kill ......" An old woman's voice came from below, and it seemed that only the last shred of strength remained.
Xuan Fei took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and poured out one of the pills and fed it into the old woman's mouth, and the old woman gasped out.
But the woman was not the mother of Qingti who I saw that day, she seemed to be older, and she should be Qingti's grandmother.
Hua Jin took a bold step forward, and when he looked behind Xuan Fei, he saw that the old woman still had a knife stuck in her back.
Hua Jin bit his lip, is it really cruel and even the old man in his twilight years will not let go?
"Five...... The ......old woman squirmed her lips and struggled to spit out the words.
"I'm the fifth girl." Hua Jin walked out from behind Xuanfei. She bent down and lifted the light veil of her hat to look at the old man: "You are Qingti's grandmother?" Do you have something to say to me? ”
"Qinglian Temple, go to Qinglian Temple, go to Qing......lian Temple" Before the words were finished, the person had already run out of oil and dried up, and his eyes were staring and unconscious.
Xuan Fei touched her snort, "I'm out of breath." Then he got up and went to the courtyard to check the situation.
Hua Jin sighed, but the fear just now had been swept away, she stretched out her hand and brushed the old man's staring eyes, closing it.
Soon Xuan Fei walked out of the courtyard and shook his head at Hua Jin with a serious expression, "There is no living mouth in it." ”
Hua Jin only felt that his heart sank again, "Then what should I do?" "The family was wiped out.
"Get out of here first, and I'll call someone to clean up the aftermath. The murderer, I will let them be arrested, as for the people behind it......" Xuan Fei paused, "You still have to make a decision." ”
Hua Jin bowed, Xuanfei was relieved that it was time to make a decision on some things.
"I'm going to Qinglian Temple, only if the mystery is solved, this family will not die tragically, if it's too late, I'm afraid that the people in that temple will also be in danger."
"Let's go." It's just a short word, containing trust and unlimited support for her.
…………
At this time, in the Zhaohui Courtyard of Zhangfu, the four big girls were all ordered to retreat, leaving Hang's mother to serve alone.
Mrs. Tai was still reclining on the pillow, waiting for Mother Hang to press her head as before.
In the past few days, Hang's mother has always been restless, and she has a feeling that the deadline is approaching.
But she was prepared in her heart that what she was doing would be exposed one day, just the difference between today and tomorrow.
Mother Hang picked up the tray with horn combs and osmanthus head oil on it, looked at Mrs. Tai, who seemed to be a little drowsy lying on it, and slowly approached.
Go to sleep! She thought in her heart: After you fall asleep, you won't hurt more people, so let my hands that are also stained with blood stop your crazy steps.
"Do you remember Jade?" Mrs. Tai's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly broke open and asked.
Hang's mother's hand shook, and the osmanthus head oil on the tray in her hand was crooked to the side, "Jade? Hang's mother's eyes widened, and her heart became flustered.
"It turns out that she is Qingti's grandmother!" Mrs. Tai laughed, "It seems that you are really a nostalgic person, not only saved the person I was going to kill back then, but also got her granddaughter to the mansion to be a maid." Let them live under my nose for so many more years. ”
With a snap, the tray in Hang's mother's hand fell to the ground, and the porcelain bottle containing osmanthus head oil shattered to the ground, wafting the fragrance of osmanthus flowers all over the room.
But I didn't expect that Qingti was also a miserable person, and he was wasted in vain and threw himself into the well and died. You said that if you didn't save Jade back then, this kid wouldn't have come to this world to walk this way, wouldn't you have to be a short-lived ghost? When she said this, it was as if she were telling a joke.
"Madame, what happened to you with Jade? She lost her granddaughter, which was already very pitiful. Mother Hang knelt down in front of Mrs. Tai with a plop, "Please let her go." ”
Mrs. Tai did not answer Hang's mother's words, but sniffed the fragrance wafting through the room, "I'm afraid I'll never smell this osmanthus fragrance again." There seemed to be regret in her tone, "This osmanthus is so fragrant!" ”
After saying this, the curtain in the house was suddenly lifted, and four mothers-in-law with five big and three thick women rushed in, and immediately pressed Hang's mother to the ground.
"Mrs., it's the slave's fault! It's all the slave's fault, please let the Jade family go. ”
"Now, are you still qualified to talk to me about the conditions?"
The two of them pressed Hang's mother and poured a bowl of soup into her mouth.
The pungent smell of medicine suddenly filled her mouth, this smell was not unfamiliar to Mother Hang, it was the kind of poison she mixed with osmanthus head oil.
She regretted it a little, regretted that she didn't have such a ruthless heart, and that she would not have so many troubles when she directly poisoned Mrs. Tai to death. It doesn't matter if she dies, but now she is involved in the Jade family.
But weren't they, the slaves, instilled in them to be faithful to the Lord when they were young? If it weren't for the nightmares that plagued her all day and was claimed by unjust souls, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Tai had so many lives broken in her hands, and she would have been like this in the future, how could she have thought of mixing poison in Mrs. Tai's head oil and wanting to make her seriously ill and unconscious?
But now...... I didn't have a chance to think about it anymore, a big bowl of poison was poured into Hang's mother's mouth, because it was poured too quickly, some of it went down the esophagus into the stomach, and some of it flowed out of the mouth or even choked out of the nasal cavity.
Hang's mother coughed twice, her consciousness became more and more blurred, maybe she would never have nightmares again in the future......
