Chapter 23: Finger riddles
Uncle Trench Coat was stunned for a moment, and then said to me after a while, "That's right, you're right! ”
Then you can throw everything out quickly, isn't it fun to dodge and hang on to other people's appetites! I'm really a little upset anymore.
Uncle Trench Coat laughed out loud, as if he was extremely comfortable after reading this anxious expression: "The reason why Xu Bai's driver died was because he lacked a housekeeper at home!" ”
Yes! I almost screamed, this guy just needs anything, and then I'm the fourth taxi driver, can't I be his daddy?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be speechless for a while, thinking of the death of the first three drivers, my heart was twisted, did I come to work in Zhongshan Automobile Corporation, these are all destined, I can't escape the control of that guy, I have to die?
Uncle Trench Coat hummed and continued: That's right, you told me before that you came to see a job advertisement, but in this place, no one else saw it at all! Have you considered this?
I clutched my brain, and endless fear took over me.
I've been being calculated all along, it's a great conspiracy!
Terrible puzzle!
I angrily cursed, "If that's the case, why didn't that ghost just kill me?" ”
Uncle Trench Coat replied that it was because there was a person who was constantly protecting me, and I asked if it was you or Yuxuan, he shook his head, no, saying that he couldn't bear the curse of a hundred years alone.
I guess I'm going to have a mental problem if I continue like this, and suddenly I remembered a question I just raised, that is, that ghost now has a baby, a maid and a housekeeper, and what is missing, does he really want me to be his father?
Uncle Trench Coat waved his hand and said to me, "The next thing she wants is her husband, so you should be her husband!" ”
When I heard him say this, I realized that the ghost was actually a woman, and then Uncle Trench Coats finally told me a story, which was the story of that ghost.
It is said that during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the world was stable, the south of the Yangtze River was rich, and the lord of a large family bought a Wang Ba from outside, and planned to boil it in the soup to drink.
So the old man ordered it to be well placed, and planned to cook it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but one night, when he came home to see the king, he found that it was gone.
Originally, Wang Ba was raised in a clay pot, how could he suddenly disappear? Could it be that there is a thief at home, and then he takes Wang Ba away and sells it, so that he can get some money.
Thinking of this, the old man was very angry, so he called all the people in the family to the hall and began to interrogate them one by one, but none of them admitted it, and none of them knew what was going on.
There was no way, so the master began to order people to search in the rooms of various subordinates, and it turned out that in the room of a maid, he actually found the king eight in a piece of cloth.
Knowing this, of course, the old man was extremely angry, and he pulled the maid and asked, "Why did my soft-shelled turtle run into your room, don't tell me you don't know anything?" ”
Now there are so many people, it is not good to say such a title as Wang Ba, so this old man changed Wang Ba to a soft-shelled turtle.
The maid had originally come out of the village, and she had never seen a scene like this, and she was suddenly frightened and confused, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
In addition, the king was originally in the kitchen, and the maid's room was far away from here, so it was impossible to say that the king had gone to the kitchen, and the maid couldn't explain what was going on.
The lord had no choice but to ask the servants to torture the maid, which is said to be a form of torture used on female prisoners in ancient times. "Stick" is the punishment of pinching the prisoner's fingers, so it is also called finger swinging (using a hammer to put into the fingers, and then tighten it hard, it is a kind of torture in the old times), in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the government used to use this to extract confessions from female prisoners.
The skin of the girl's fingers was open, but her mouth kept saying that she didn't do it herself, although she hadn't read any books, but she knew what she hadn't done, and she couldn't admit it.
Originally, the old man didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to find someone to punish, seeing that she didn't want to admit her guilt and continued to let those family members clamp the girl's fingers fiercely, and finally those fingers were pinched off fiercely because of excessive force, and blood fell to the ground, and the scene was especially bloody.
As the old saying goes, "Ten fingers hurt to the heart", and it is precisely because of the skill of women's hands in ancient times that if a woman's hand is injured or disabled, it will hurt the woman a lot.
The maid really couldn't bear the pain and finally died directly, found this situation, just met the prefect's subordinates came with invitations to set up the wedding wine, those people immediately panicked, in order to entertain each other, the master ordered the family to throw the maid's body into the well, and then hurriedly cleaned up the blood, never thought that those fingers were covered by a direct carpet, not cleaned up.
Later, when it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man took his wife and concubine to the street to riddle the lanterns, the streets were full of lights, and it was very lively, and every household was hung with lanterns, and it was a joyful look.
The game of lantern riddles was very popular at the time, and it is still extremely popular today and represents a model of elegance.
After guessing for a while, he took his wife back to the house, there are still many lanterns hanging in the house, the lantern riddles written on them are too superficial, so that people can know the answer at a glance, and the old man began to complain that these subordinates are really, don't write lantern riddles to this extent, right?
Unexpectedly, when he came to the lantern in his room, his wife exclaimed, "This lantern riddle seems to be quite interesting!" ”
The old man's attention immediately shifted, and he found a very amazing riddle, so that he couldn't see the reason for a while, only to see that it read: "Outstanding people cover the king, jewelry and jade mounds descend from the sky, and the family is dedicated to the members of the group, and all the evil intentions are empty daggers." ”
After the old man finished reading, he stopped in place, stroked his chin, narrowed his eyes, and couldn't think of what was going on after thinking for a while, and he couldn't even guess what the riddle was saying.
So I asked someone who wrote the riddle, and a family member told the master that it was written by an old man in black rags, and he left after writing it, and it should be not far outside.
Black rags? Hearing this, the old man hurriedly walked out, thinking that there was such an elegant person here, and he had to see his appearance in person, but when the old man went outside, he saw a few children playing by the lake, so he asked the children, "Have you seen an old man passing by here?" ”
One of the children held a bamboo dragonfly in his hand and replied to the old man: "That old man came here just now, and he jumped directly into the lake!" ”
As the saying goes, children are unscrupulous, and children never lie when they speak, and sometimes they speak very exaggeratedly so that adults can't hear the real meaning.
When the old man returned home and asked about the old man of the slave, a family member replied that after the old man wrote the lantern riddle, he didn't ask for anything, but just took the turtle shell of the king who had eaten a few days ago and left.
Hearing this, I was shocked again and asked Uncle Trench Coat, what the hell is going on? Why did he take the tortoise shell?
Uncle Trench Coat told me that he would tell you later, and now we have to go back and buy tickets tomorrow.
I didn't expect him to tell me anymore, and when I got on the train, I was going to Guangzhou, and on the train I sorted out all the things that had happened during this time, so that my brain could think clearly.
Now Geng Simeng, the witch, is a big mystery, and when I see Song Yuxuan in the future, I have to ask her to see if she knows what's going on?
As for Jinghui, I can't see it at all, everyone says that people are going to die and their words are good, so I believe that what Simeng told me at that time would not be false, she told me when she was dying to be careful of Jing or something, if I didn't miscalculate, then you would be Jinghui!
After all, among the people I know, there is no one with a scene at all, and besides, a dick like me doesn't have many friends at all, isn't it?
Commute to work every day, otherwise you will sleep, play games, and have time to meet friends.
As for Song Gong, he raised Yin and Yang to guard the palace, and he also used dogs to make four-eyed spirit babies, but I don't think he is a bad person, although what four-eyed spirit babies exist or not, but now it doesn't matter.
In addition, I finally entered Song Gong's house, and I was able to succeed without bringing Fu Guang, which proves that the four-eyed spirit baby was made up by Uncle Trench Coat, although it may exist in history, but Song Gong's family will definitely not have it!
In the end, it was the ghost I met in Longhu Mountain, at first he wanted to kill me, but then I asked him a lot of questions, but he didn't want to kill me, so it should be because of the hundred-year-old curse on my body that he followed me?!
But the point is, why did he leave immediately as soon as he mentioned Jinghui?
If only that's possible!
First, he was afraid of Jinghui, Mr. Yin and Yang, and when he heard me mention Jinghui, he immediately didn't want to continue doing it.
Second, he knows Jinghui, and he may be a friend, since he is a friend of a friend, he is also a friend of his own!
Third, it is possible that he is Qiao Jinghui!
When I was having dinner with Geng Simeng before, I saw three projections on Jinghui's body, this matter I have been buried deep in my mind and did not bring it up, if this is the case, when he told me about the death work permit, it was probably just one of his souls who talked to me?!
If this is the case, Simeng and Jinghui are in the same boat, so why didn't she expose him at that time?
There were many questions, and I couldn't think of them for a while, so I had to cover my head under the quilt and go to sleep.
Before leaving, Uncle Trench Coat warned me not to open the item box in front of the car, I thought that I heard some strange sounds in this place before, I wanted to open it, but someone disturbed me, and now he told me not to open it, could it be that there is something hidden in this box that will cause me to have an accident?
