The person who came was the county lord, and he took the two girls of Jiangzhu and Yuping.

Seeing the county lord from afar, his face was angry. Yu Qi felt in his heart that something ominous was about to happen.

Sure enough, as soon as the county lord arrived at the door of the pavilion, she saw Yu Qi leaning against the door, she raised her face, her eyes were on fire, and she stared at Yu Qi. Jiangzhu and Yuping's eyes were red and swollen, as if they had been reprimanded, and they had cried sadly.

Jiang Zhu and Yuping went to help the county lord unconsciously, and the county lord pushed his hands back, and lifted his skirt up the steps by himself.

Stepping up the stairs and stepping through the door, she passed by Yu Qi, and she dropped a sentence: "Come in and talk." Behind them, Jiang Zhu and Yuping didn't dare to follow up, so they waited for Yu Qi to turn around and go in, and then they entered.

Yu Qi was nervous, as if he was on the edge of an abyss, for fear that his slight breath would blow the anger of the county lord. She looked worriedly at the beads and the jade screen, intending to poke something out of their faces. But the two men did not look up, and their eyes were straight down, as if they were looking for silver on the ground.

The lord of the county entered the house, and did not sit, but stood in the middle of the house, with his back to the man.

Yu Qi turned around, bowed to the county lord in a low voice, and whispered to her to say goodbye. At this moment, Zhuzhu and Yuping came in, one brought the stool, the other wiped it, and pasted a handkerchief on the stool before helping the county lord sit down.

The county lord sat down, lazy, and said in a bored tone: "Get up!" ”

Yu Qi saluted, straightened up, and stood sideways.

The county lord took his eyes off Yu Qi and looked around the room slightly, and then gently raised a hand, and the handkerchief in his hand swayed with her twice. As if they understood the handkerchief, they slowly withdrew outside the door and walked towards the gate of Shizhai.

The two girls walked away.

The county lord let out a heavy breath and said, "Let me ask you, what do you think?" How can such a thing be done? ”

This is a reproach, a question!

When Yu Qi heard this, he was terrified, and muttered, "Madam, I ......"

The county lord interrupted: "You know, if you don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of you!" ”

Yu Qi thought that the county lord said that on Zhuang Yu's birthday, the strange woman committed suicide, and now, the county lord is investigating it head-on. So, Yu Qi defended: "I really didn't want to go to Beifu, and I didn't expect to meet that person." I didn't know her. ”

The county lord said: "She? He sneered a few times, raised his handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and said, "You don't know her, but you know Baozhu, right?" You've driven the orb to death, do you know! ”

Suddenly, Yu Qi's legs went limp. Orb dead? The orb was killed by himself? How is this possible?

Yu Qi thought: Zhuangfu's ability to deduct guilt hats is really good, the bottom is like this, and the master is also like this, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, which is really reflected here.

The county lord said: "At this moment, I don't care what you do. I'm coming here today to ask you a few words, and I've got to ask you to do one more thing. I want to ask you, why did you go upstairs? Why did you hide from people and disappear, where did you go? ”

Yu Qi shrank and couldn't speak.

The county lord's gaze could release cold arrows, swishing at Yu Qi's body. Nothing to say for a long time. The county lord couldn't help it, and raised his voice to ask again.

Yu Qi trembled all over, and said: "Coming here, I feel uncomfortable, I want to go upstairs to breathe the air, it's really good upstairs, I can see the whole courtyard clearly." I've never seen it so clearly, it turns out that our house is so big. It was I who ignored the rules and didn't take Sister Baozhu's words to heart and came up privately. My wife punishes me for this crime, and I admit it. She knelt down and continued: "I fell from the upper floor, because there was a bee above me, and it stung me. Now, I have injuries all over my body, my brain is not clear, I am walking around, and I don't remember much if I am in a corner. Madam, I have no intention of hiding from anyone. ”

The county lord scrutinized her, as if to see her through.

In fact, the county lord also knows that where can she run to the land where Shizhai is slap big? According to her, it can also go smoothly. Therefore, the county lord beckoned to Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was frightened, trembling and kneeling over, and in front of the county lord, the county lord stretched out his finger and hooked her chin.

Subsequently, the county lord said: "The red envelope ideas on this face are all stinged by bees?" ”

Yu Qi nodded.

The county lord bent down slightly, took Yu Qi's hand, and lifted her sleeve. In the sleeve, the wrist, elbow, arm, or abrasions, stung, bruised, people can't bear to look at it.

The county lord's eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "If you don't make mistakes, how can you incur this!" If you have a brain, how can you leave the corner of the house? Someone brought you medicine early. ”

Speaking of taking medicine, Yu Qi immediately woke up: Yes! Sanxi needs medicine!

Yu Qi's face turned to joy with panic, and said, "Yes, madam, please give me some medicine." ”

The county lord let go of Yu Qi's hand, withdrew it, held it, and said firmly and indifferently: "Give? What kind of medicine is given? The people who served you medicine and food were dead. Who else do you want to get it for you? Who would dare to come! ”

Yu Qi sat down limply, yes, just said that Baozhu was dead.

The county lord said: "The jewel has served me for many years, and I would never have imagined that I would die because of you." No matter how justified you may be, you can't rely on it. When I hold you accountable, it is not certain that day. The thing I have come to ask you for today is to ask you to go and accompany the spirit of the orb. ”

Yu Qi had tears in his eyes, and he had many words in his heart, wanting to defend himself, but the words were weak and difficult to speak. Besides, I don't know how Baozhu died, right now, the county lord is so loud, I want to inquire about it, I'm afraid I can't. Therefore, what Yu Qi was about to ask, what he was going to say, swallowed his stomach fiercely. She struggled to brace herself to her feet, leaned forward, and bowed down to the county lord.

Yu Qi's meaning, confessed his guilt.

The county lord's request, she also admitted it, and lost the identity of this Miss Zhuang to the dead girl.

The county lord said: "It can be seen that you have the bottom in your heart, and you know about the treasure bead." ”

Yu Qi raised his head from the ground and shook slightly.

The county lord said, "You don't want to know, why did I come to ask you to do this today?" ”

Yu Qi said sadly: "I did something wrong, and I should be held accountable for the wrong." If my wife says I'm wrong, I'm wrong. ”

The county lord was stunned and annoyed, and stared at her with wide eyes again. complained in his heart: This child is so young that he has committed such a state, looking at the sincere confession, defending himself in fact, and covering half of her body with a straight sentence. This child stays in the house, afraid that something will happen in the future!

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Zhuang Yu, her son has different feelings for Yu Qi! It can be felt everywhere on weekdays, and she is still haunted by the incident of climbing over the wall and entering the hospital. Now, she has to look at Yu Qi differently. Helpless, Yu Qi saved Zhuang Yu's life, and she was still the daughter of her sister-in-law Zhuang Hui, and she wanted to punish her severely, but she couldn't bear it.

However, the county lord couldn't swallow this breath, and finally chirped: "If you are a bastard." Is there a mistake or not, someone else casually installed it on you? You are self-respecting and dignified, how can you lead to evil? If I were you, I would reflect on it and deal with myself. Don't upset the adults, don't block the old ladies. You are in the old lady's heart, but it's different! Hugh wants her old man to worry about you. ”

Yu Qi was speechless.

The county lord said again: "You said you want to go upstairs to have a look, breathe, I believe you." But I want you to remember that in this mansion, if you look at it casually, you can walk around casually, and you can kill people at will. If you want to be in peace, take your possessions. Next time, it's not me who will talk to you. ”

As he spoke, the county lord got up, wiped his eyes again, and walked out with a sad face. At the door, after a pause, facing outside, a cold voice came and said, "When it gets dark, someone will come to pick you up." For the next few days, you will stay in the house where Baozhu lived before her death, and she will not go out for a day, and you will not be allowed to come out for a day. ”

The county lord was about to leave, and Yu Qi asked, "Madam, how did Sister Baozhu go?" ”

The county lord gritted his teeth and said, "She brought the second wife to see you, drove you downstairs, and disappeared." She came to Shizhai to look for you for a few days, afraid that I would blame her, and the second wife refused to help her testify, so she carried everything wrong. She felt aggrieved and went without thinking about it. Wearing the wedding dress I gave her in the first few years, it was as red as blood, and the red silk cloth was so festive, who knew that it was actually for her to see her off. Dead unjustly, hanging on the old locust tree outside your central mansion, that pair of embroidered shoes hangs a string of money, and a scale. Do you know why she did that? That's to blame you, to blame the person who wronged her. I set up a spirit house for her, and I have made a heart for you, and I have stayed for a few days, and I want to go out today and let someone give her a ride. Last night, black smoke rose from her house. That's when she didn't turn a blind eye and complained about her grievances. ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he was afraid and resistant. The county lord spread ghosts and gods to her, and she said it so terrifyingly and terrifyingly. The county lord's words, Yu Qi was confused, and he roughly knew what was going on.

The county magistrate couldn't understand it, but this was indeed the case.

That day.

The county lord, Cao's family, Aunt Mi, Zhuang Hu, Aunt Xi and others are in the Baozhu House. The people advised the county lord to mourn. The second master and the third master were outside, and they also asked her to go back. Finally, the housekeeper went in and asked her to come out.

Out of the door of the jewel, the housekeeper sent four "guys" to clean them.

Cleanse.

It is a common rite, light a pot of incense, put in mugwort leaves, and burn it, and anyone who has come into contact with a corpse must step over the fire and go back and forth several times before it can be cleansed.

After purifying, the county lord was helped back, and the third master Zhuang Qin followed.

Cao's family, Aunt Mi, Zhuang Hu and others also returned.

For the rest, the second old man Zhuang Lu instructed the housekeeper to let him take care of the people as soon as possible. Because before the county lord went out, he left a message to Jiangzhu and Yuping, so Jiangzhu and Yuping stayed behind. The housekeeper sent someone to make a coffin for the jewel, and to bury it, and then pull it out and bury it for a day or two, and there is no need to alarm the people in the house.

At the end of the day, the little girls such as Zhuzhu and Yuping cried for the pearl vigil, and their grief and relatives were depressed, and they didn't dare to open their throats. Last night, I suddenly saw black smoke coming out of the coffin, and the girls such as Jiangzhu and Yuping found out, and they were so frightened that their souls flew away, and they ran out of the house crying, and ran to report to the county lord with their lives, saying that Baozhu was dead and turned into black smoke and souls.

The county lord was sad, hearing this, not to mention how scared he was, he ignored the sadness, while drinking the girl don't talk nonsense, while asking people to guard Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Pu, Zhuang Yu brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, asking people to burn paper money, incense and candles for the pearl, I felt that it was not enough to rest assured, and asked people to quietly find a few Taoist priests.

In such a contrived arrangement, there was no black smoke again.

Early in the morning, the county lord woke up from his dream, and specially called a few little girls to him and asked: "Baozhu treats you very well, and now she refuses to leave, do you know what unfinished wishes she has?" ”

The little girl just cried, shook her head and said she didn't know.

One of the little girls said: "Sister Baozhu has been going to the Phoenix Pavilion for the past few days, and she may be reluctant to go over there!" ”

Phoenix Pavilion? There's a stone in it! It's not that I'm reluctant to fast!

So, the county lord got up, sat for a long time, couldn't order tea and rice, and after a long time, he let Jiangzhu and Yuping come to serve, and the master and servant rushed to Shizhai.

That's why the county lord met with Yu Qi.

Only then did the county lord ask Yu Qi to accompany the spirit of the jewel.

On the way back, the county lord said to the Zhu, "Tell the housekeeper that the jewel will stop for three more days from now on." After the first seven, go out again. The weather is hot, and the spices and frost should be added, let him add them, and don't scare you with the smell. After seven days, let the orb go with peace of mind! ”

Zhu and Yuping nodded in response.

The three of them then returned to Chengfuyuan without mentioning it.

After the county lord and the others left, while it was still early, Yu Qi went to the top of the building to get honey, brought the honey to the ghost mother, and asked her to pour it into Sanxi to eat. She didn't tell the ghost mother about the county lord's coming, but said, "I have to go to the doctor these days." There is Lao's mother to help take care of Sanxi. When I got back, I took my mother out of here. Let's stay in Shizhai! This place is cold and damp, Sanxi's injury is not suitable for long-term residence, and mother's injury is not suitable for long-term residence. ”

After explaining, she returned to Shizhai and waited for night to fall, waiting for the county lord to send someone to pick her up.

Sure enough, when the night was dark, the county lord sent Jiangzhu and Yuping to light the lamp.

As soon as a few people came out of the gate of Shizhai, the dark night sky suddenly shook a burst of thunder, lightning scribbled, illuminating the surroundings in white, and then, the wind blew fiercely, and the rain poured down.

The dead, the house, the night rain, the lightning, the thunder, all of these things are connected in the dark.

Or as the county lord said: Baozhu died unjustly! The soul is not gone, and the grievances are coming.

Otherwise, how could that happen the following night?
