Chapter Twenty-Three: A Golden Man Dressed as an Official Errand

Chu Xiaoran suddenly remembered a situation she had encountered in her previous life, when she was seventeen years old, she and her cousins of the same generation accepted the test of the family, that is, to catch a ghost with Taoism, to see who caught it first, who would be the heir of the family.

That night, she chased the ghost all the way to the house of a detached house, and saw the ghost float in at a very fast speed, and almost in the blink of an eye, the ghost disappeared without a trace.

She was born with yin and yang eyes, and she couldn't even see that there were ghosts in that family.

Therefore, Chu Xiaoran took it for granted that the ghost escaped through that family, and he didn't think about it at all, and that ghost was hiding in that family's house because he got into his body again.

That's right, it's your own body.

He didn't die, but his ghost was free to be detached from his body and cultivate alone.

This is an unbelievable secret method.

Unexpectedly, after a thousand years, she would see this secret method here again.

There was a woman's crying beside him, Chu Xiaoran didn't pay attention to it at first, and when he looked at the woman's clothes and looked familiar, he remembered that this woman was not the little lady who took her ox cart in the morning.

She was lying on the corpse almost all over, not letting the official carry the corpse away, looking at the intimate movements, it should be a husband and wife relationship.

At this time, one of the officials was a little impatient: "This lady, your husband died suddenly, I was ordered to investigate the cause of your husband's death, if you are really good for your husband, don't hinder our business trip." ”

The words of this official confirmed Chu Xiaoran's guess that the dead man was really the husband of this little lady.

The official's words didn't work, and the little lady still stopped her dead and didn't let the official take away her husband's body.

The official was also annoyed at this time: "Since this lady is stubborn, then she is offended." ”

Died suddenly, according to the case handling process of the Northern Song Dynasty, the little lady must have followed her to the county office, but she would not be so rude, the little lady repeatedly obstructed, annoying the official, and the official directly tortured the little lady, carried her husband's body onto the ox cart, and prepared to return to the county office.

The little lady passed by Chu Xiaoran's side and just raised her face.

She clearly saw the face of this little lady, and there was no sign of losing her husband, that is, the husband of this little lady did not die.

It's not that the face doesn't deceive, some people's face is also deceptive, but to say that the little lady's grief can be clearly felt by everyone present, how can it be so if they don't really think that their husband is dead.

Therefore, Chu Xiaoran still believed in his own judgment, this little lady didn't know that her husband was not dead.

"Wait!"

Chu Xiaoran stopped the two officials.

The two officials paused for a moment, glanced at each other, and then turned around, a burly official with a full beard said: "This little lady, what is the matter with you stopping me and waiting?" ”

"This official, I don't know where you want to take them?"

Another official didn't want to return: "Naturally, it's Qizhou Mansion." ”

Jiulong Town is under the jurisdiction of the Qi Prefecture Government, and when there is a death case at ordinary times, it is naturally reported to the Qi Prefecture Mansion, but the Qi Prefecture Mansion has been captured by the Jin people as early as a few days ago, and the prefect has fled directly.

Taking people to Qizhou Mansion is not a big joke.

"They're golden."

Originally, Chu Xiaoran was only a little suspicious, so he would stop them and want to confirm it. Qin Che's voice sounded, and Chu Xiaoran was even more sure of his guess.

So he shouted at the people around him: "Come and catch the spies, they are not officials, they are golden people." ”

The Jin people captured Qizhou Mansion, and the Song people hated them so much, listening to Chu Xiaoran's words, they immediately picked up the guys who could fight in their hands, and dozens of people surrounded them.

These two Jin people have knives, but they are invincible with two fists and four hands, Jiulong Town is still the territory of the Song people, and the Jin people who pretended to be officials could only look at Chu Xiaoran viciously, leaving the bodies of the little lady and her husband, and fleeing into the alley on the side.

They all came to the town to do something, and when they encountered the situation just now, they could help, but because the Jin people occupied their state capital, and the hatred of the Jin people made them the same enemy.

Now, the Jin people disguised as officials were beaten away, and they all had their own affairs, some were in a hurry to get out of the city, and some had their own things to do.

The little lady knelt down in front of Chu Xiaoran with a puff: "Girl, the little woman can't catch the car, can you please help the little woman again and bring my husband's body back for burial." ”

The two golden men fled for their lives, and the ox cart with the corpses was thrown here like this.

Seeing her helplessness in her eyes, Chu Xiaoran nodded and agreed.

Let Tuesday Lang drive his ox cart in front, tie the ox cart that pulled the body to the back of their cart, and pull out of the city gate like this.

On the way, the little lady cried and cried, and told her about her and her husband.

Her name is Anru, she was originally a villager in Daze Village, Jiulong Town, and married her current husband, Zhang Qilang, five years ago.

Originally, the two were sweet and happy after marriage, but a year ago, Zhang Qilang was conscripted into the army, not to guard the Qizhou Mansion, but to guard the Song-Liao border, the Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin State a few months ago, and the war affected the border.

At that time, almost all the soldiers guarding the border were killed, and Zhang Qilang didn't want to fight anymore, so he quietly hid back in Jiulong Town.

The imperial court was panicked because the Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin State, but no one pursued the problem of one or two deserters.

Zhang Qilang felt that it had been a few months, and he had not heard the news of arresting the deserter, and he must be fine, so he had the courage to contact his wife.

Anru had already received the news that her husband had died in battle, and when she received Zhang Qilang's letter at first glance, she thought she was dreaming and pinched herself hard, only to know that this was not a dream, and her husband was really not dead.

Because Zhang Qilang confessed in the letter, don't tell the rest of the family first, Anru didn't say anything and ran out of the house directly.

Where can her in-laws rest assured, her son is dead, and this daughter-in-law has looked for a short time several times, and they are afraid that this daughter-in-law will not be able to think about it, so they will follow everything they say.

Anru had no choice but to tell Zhang Qilang's parents the truth, and told them that she should go to the town to see the situation first.

It was the scene that Chu Xiaoran saw in the morning.

"Lady An, can I read the letter that your husband wrote to you?"

An Ru swept away tears in her eyes, nodded and took out the letter from her arms, handed it to Chu Xiaoran, and then lay on Zhang Qilang's corpse and cried bitterly.

Chu Xiaoran looked at the letter carefully, and found no yin qi, proving that Zhang Qilang was indeed alive when he wrote this letter.

But why did he die all of a sudden?
