Chapter 64: Ghost Puzzle
At this moment, in the gentle township, two men and one woman, the atmosphere is weird.
"I'll just ask you, is the thorn irritating!"
Wu Laosan was troubled, Bai Changsheng listened to it and his teeth fell in his ears for a while, and he beat Wu Laosan and said angrily:
"Nonsense, my taste is even more elegant than yours!"
"There is only one truth!"
Wu Laosan pointed to the unclothed Hua Mama on the ground, and pointed to Bai Changsheng, what does that mean?
Bai Changsheng raised his forehead and shook his head, saying in his heart that this was a handle in Wu Laosan's hands, but now was not the time to explain this.
Putting aside the topic, he told Wu Laosan the truth about his death.
After hearing this, Wu Laosan snorted coldly:
"I knew you were indispensable, get up for me!"
Three times five divided by two, Wu Laosan tied up Mama Hua, at this time Bai Changsheng didn't know why Wu Laosan came here, so he asked Wu Laosan.
"He asked casually and recruited everything, I'm afraid that you kid is happy here and forgets the business, follow and see, and you are really... Gee. ”
Bai Changsheng was speechless, and now when it comes to the horizon, Wu Laosan will not believe it.
Wu Laosan didn't pretend anymore and told the news from the interrogation:
It turned out that Chen Mingshi wanted to donate officials to Tongzhou, and the housekeeper Liu Ming knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't know much about the case.
Before, Steward Liu saw that the old man in the house always couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he heard Chen Mingshi talking about Tongzhou outside the window.
Steward Liu guessed that the old man wanted to donate an official to Tongzhou to be an official.
But if you go to Tongzhou, the place is not as desolate as the prosperity of the capital, Steward Liu is worried, and he really doesn't want to follow the master to live there, the master is to be an official, and he has to suffer.
pondered back and forth what to do, but found out that something unusual happened to the master.
The lord used to go to a pawnshop, to say that there are countless pawnshops in Dongzhimen, but the lord often went to the one in the eighteen alleys in Bei'anmen.
Every time I went, I brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, and when I came back, I was empty-handed, and it didn't look like I was going to pawn treasures or buy gadgets.
Steward Liu didn't know why, but only later did he know that the pawnshop shopkeeper and Master Chen Hua also knew each other.
I thought that this old man might be afraid that Tongzhou would encounter obstacles in the matter of being an official, so he wanted to use the hand of this shopkeeper to buy Master Chen of the Beijing Zhili Yamen, and use his relationship to make things happen in the future.
Later, Steward Liu also met Master Chen, and Master Chen's words also revealed that there were some transactions with Chen Mingshi, and the two discussed some things.
One day, when he returned to Steward Liu's house, Wen Yan was working as a bookkeeper in Chen's Mansion at that time, and he was chattering all day about Chen's Mansion's account books, which had not been worth a lot of silver recently.
If you want to talk about everyone's compound, it is common to spend money like running water, but at the moment, Steward Liu is interested, and he took the account book from Wen Yan, and the two of them compared it carefully.
This found that the mansion spent a lot of silver every month, but there was no explanation, and Steward Liu guessed that this might be the silver taels used by the master to "donate officials" to get through the relationship.
At this time, Steward Liu came to have a bad heart, and wanted to blackmail Master Chen with Wen Yan, saying that he knew about him and Master Chen, and asked the master to give him a sum of money, so that he could stay in Beijing and not go to Tongzhou.
Wen Yan was cowardly by nature and didn't want to do this, Steward Liu held a grudge, so he said that Wen Yan had an affair with the concubine in Chen's mansion!
When the old man heard this, he was furious and blasted Wen Yan out of the Chen Mansion.
Later, an old tent was invited, and the new tent thief didn't look like a good person, and he was also found by Steward Liu several times by stealing silver taels.
Steward Liu saw this person's personality and came to woo this person.
The new bookkeeper and the housekeeper Liu Ming hit it off and decided to blackmail the master together, and the housekeeper Liu ordered this person to negotiate with the master in the middle of the night, and if they didn't give some money, the two would report the matter.
Steward Liu is also cunning:
knew that if the master did not comply, he would definitely make a big move, and when the time came, he would be able to sue the account room for false accusations, which was really a bad heart.
When the tent went to find the master, Chen Mingshi heard it and knew that there could be no mistakes at this critical juncture, so he really gave some silver taels to send the tent.
The tent was also cunning, and said that it was Steward Liu who asked him to come, and Steward Liu had been listening in the dark, and he was so angry when he heard this, but he didn't dare to attack.
Things were originally a matter of course, and it was enough to take the money to eliminate the disaster, but this Steward Liu was not greedy enough to swallow the elephant, and he thought that he would have to make another sum, and there was one time anyway.
During the day, everyone was fine, and no one broke the matter, so Steward Liu looked for the account room and asked him to go to the master again to ask for more money, and the account room also agreed in a dark heart.
At night, Steward Liu hid in the dark again, wanting to see what the master's attitude was, and if it was good, he would come back for the third time, which was really dead.
As a result, in the middle of the night, I saw two people coming to the house, it was the two brothers Wenyan and Wenwu, and the two entered Chen Mingshi's house, but they didn't hear what the two said.
But when these two people came out, they carried two packages, which made Steward Liu a little puzzled.
Afraid of being discovered, Steward Liu returned to his house, but suddenly found a corpse wrapped in a paper figure in his house!
But he was frightened, and he didn't know who was going to harm him.
Looking at the corpse again, Steward Liu immediately recognized it, it was just like that!
Steward Liu thought that the master used this corpse to frame him, and pondered for himself:
The heart says that you must not give up! sent the body "back" to Chen Mingshi's house.
Still angry, the evil fire pressed his heart, and Steward Liu also used pig blood to engrave two sentences on Wanru's palm, Tongzhou can't go, why do you want to harm me.
At that time, Chen Mingshi had just fallen asleep and did not notice any of this.
The first sentence of those two sentences is a warning to the master, signaling the master to say that he knows everything, and don't make these crooked ways to play tricks on himself.
The latter sentence is actually what he wants to use to scare and scare the old man.
turned out to be a coincidence, and when Chen Mingshi saw it, he was really panicked.
The housekeeper heard an exclamation in the old man's house and wanted to go to the old man's door to find out, but the old man spoke badly, and Steward Liu went back to his house.
Steward Liu was secretly observing the movements in the old man's house, and found that the old man came out of the house in a hurry.
At that time, the tent also happened to appear, and it seemed that he was going to ask the master for money again.
The old man was in a very bad mood, quarreled with the old tent, and after a few words, he took out a knife and stabbed it at the tent!
Liu Mingzhi was stupid, and said that he was fortunate that he was not going to ask for money.
I saw that the old man put the corpse in the tent in a sack, and Steward Liu hurriedly hid.
Ran away overnight and went out to stay all day, angry and hateful, Steward Liu gritted his teeth and wanted to come back and confess to the master.
Maybe the old man will let him go for a while, and all his belongings are in the house, so he is really unwilling to leave like this.
trembling and went back to Chen's mansion, but the master was gone, the murder scene was cleaned up, and he waited left and right and didn't see the master come back.
Steward Liu guessed that the old man was likely to abscond in fear of crime, and he began to be obsessed with ghosts again:
He saw the scene of the old man killing people, and if the old man came back, he would use this to blackmail him again!
I haven't slept well for a few nights, and with such a big temptation in front of him, Liu Ming's heart is completely fascinated by silver, and he can't imagine what he will face next!
Money, as long as you can get more money, what is the fate?
In the daytime, waiting left and right, Chen Mingshi did not come back, Steward Liu knew that the night did not return, the day did not appear, this old man definitely fled for his life.
Here's your chance to make your own fortune!
