The Case of Warding Off Evil Spirits Chapter 50 The Arson Case of a Mountain Temple on the Outskirts of the City
At night, Chenjiazhuang. Sparks flickered in the night, and the villages on both sides were staggered, and the raccoon women wearing plain horse-faced skirts with lotus patterns were bent over and beating their clothes by the river.
Chenjiazhuang is dozens of miles in circumference, with white roof tiles and white walls, stretching endlessly between the night and the mountains. One after another, people kept lighting the candles in the house, pushing open the screen window, and looking out of the house.
On the winding path in the middle of the village, there is a bustling group of people. Most of them are men in the prime of life, wearing cloth clothes and scarves, in groups of three or five, following an old man with gray hair, wearing gold silk bamboo orchid satin, tied his hair and jade crown, and inserted a jade hairpin.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, with gray sideburns and wrinkles on his face, but there was a calculating intelligence in his eyes.
They all carried lanterns in their hands, and some of them had sticks in their hands.
"Find me, just find them for me, and beat them to death!" The old man standing in the middle was blushing and his neck was thick, blowing his beard and glaring, and he walked more and more quickly, and finally he was really angry, and he choked without mentioning it in one breath, and he kept coughing for a long time.
The person next to him was very puzzled when he heard this, "Captain, do you really want to fight to the death?" That's your own daughter, are you willing to do it? ”
"Yes, don't you like Miss Wan the most on weekdays? She's your favorite little girl. ”
The old man snorted coldly when he heard this, "The old man doesn't have such a shameless daughter." ”
He likes her the most on weekdays, that is because she is the most beautiful and beautiful, and he expects her to fly on the branches and become a phoenix in the future, and take him, his father, to enjoy glory and wealth!
As a result, Chen Wan actually did such a bastard thing today! And in front of the presence of many guests in the house! Now in order to save his face, he can only solve this unfilial girl with his own hands!
"She's a! It's a water-based poplar bad luck thing! ”
"Such an unfilial girl, what does the old decay want her to do! The dowry gifts of the Shangshu Mansion were all delivered to the door of the old man's house, how did that cheap hoof deal with the old man? ”
"I can't throw away the dowry! How dare she mention her relatives in front of the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu Mansion and say that she is pregnant? Oops! There's nowhere to put my face! Zhuang Sheng and that little, hit me! Beat me to death! ”
"I caught the dipping pig cage, I don't have this kind of daughter!"
In the Golden Law, it is not a capital offense for a woman to fornicate with others. But the clan did not allow this, and I felt ashamed. In many people's homes, if such a thing happens, it must be done by both men and women alive.
It is worth mentioning that the Golden Rule said ten years ago that the death of a man and a woman due to fornication between a man and a woman should be treated as an ordinary crime. Obviously, dozens of people in Chenjiazhuang don't know a few big characters, and they are all legally illiterate.
Dajin people have always loved to join in the fun, not to mention this rural village that has no other entertainment except for farming on weekdays except for sunrise and sunset. Listening to gossip is their greatest pleasure. So, they lit a dozen candles in the room, and their ears were close to the window, so that they could hear them clearly.
The woman who was weaving the yarn by the river did not stop beating the clothes in her hands, but her ears were pointed, and in a few words, she was stunned to hear all this melon!
Oooh! It turned out that the eldest daughter eloped with Zhuang Sheng Zhuang Daxiu! No wonder they always frown when they see them on weekdays, it turns out that they have long been in love with concubines and privately decided for life!
The chief was bent on climbing high branches, and it happened that his daughter was also called a water hibiscus, and that day the scholar of the Ministry of Rites passed by Chenjiazhuang and fell in love with the little girl. I wanted to marry and go back to the house as a concubine, and the chief heard it: happy. This is the son of the Shoshu family of the Ministry of Rites!
The youngest daughter is going to get married, and her own in-laws are the family of the three major officials!
This marriage, I see!
The chief was happy to have such a good thing, and he didn't ask his daughter's opinion, so Mei Zizi immediately agreed.
"Marry and marry! When the young master sends the dowry to our family, then when can he marry on the spot! ”
The lieutenant promised happily, but when he turned his head, he found that something bad was wrong - his little daughter said that he didn't want to marry anything, and he refused to say the reason. It was dragged again and again, and it was dragged to a box of dowry gifts in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and it was really carried to the door of his own house.
Li Chang's daughter held back for several days, refusing to say the reason. But on the day of the proposal of the Shangshu Mansion, he directly held back a big move: in front of the entourage of the Shangshu Mansion, he said that he was already happy! is also pregnant with Zhuang Xiucai's child in her belly!
How big an official is the Shangshu Mansion in the capital, how can he allow this kind of thing, so that the matchmaker and the entourage are scared, and they refuse to marry anything. A group of people took the dowry, and returned the same way.
It is said that the dowry was later given to the richest man in Quandajin by the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, the richest man in Quandajin - his/her mother, Yun Xuantan's family. The youngest daughter of the Li Chang's family didn't take a fancy to this box of dowry, let alone the unparalleled Yun Xuan Detective who made money that day.
The result was obvious, and it was also crisp and neat, and there was no room for any affection - it was rejected.
The son of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites is almost twenty-five years old, and he can be described as a real older leftover man in the Dajin Dynasty. I haven't started a family yet! This love luck is also bumpy enough. Of course, that's another story.
In short, the chief wanted to give his little daughter to the family of a dignitary as a concubine, but the little girl didn't marry, and she blew herself up and had a child, which was exciting enough.
Sure enough, Li Chang was angry, ordered someone to lock Chen Wan in the room, and then asked the doctor to find out. The doctor took the pulse and found out that this was indeed the case.
Li Chang ordered people to prepare musk and saffron, ready to fall this evil seed, so that they would not die, and in the evening, they found that Chen Wan avoided the eyeliner of the family members, and simply had a double stay and double flight with Zhuang Xiucai!
This is why there is such a scene as Chenjiazhuang looking for people at night.
After listening to the ins and outs of this series, Huansha Girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is really a fragrant and sweet melon! Unfortunately, it was dark tonight, and the sisters were asleep. Let her go back and think about it for a night, think of the wording, and share it with you good sisters tomorrow!
……
Suburbs.
July 20th, Hai Shi. A man and a woman pass by outside a mountain temple.
The woman wears a plum blossom smoke skirt and wears the female mystery detective imitation shoes that have been popular among the folk recently-Dengyun shoes. The thin waist is wrapped in a jade belt, and the silver bracelet on his hand shines in the moonlight, which is worth a lot of money at a glance.
Next to the woman stood a scholar wearing a scarf, wearing a white coat, and carrying a lot of soft clothes. The scholar helped the woman and walked slowly.
"Slow down, don't hurt the child in your belly." The scholar stroked the woman's shoulder, as if to comfort her.
But the woman's face did not play any role in reassuring it, but her lips turned pale and she continued to break out in a cold sweat.
"No, I can't. I really can't walk, Zhuang Sheng, let's rest for a while. ”
Zhuang Sheng looked at his surroundings and thought to himself that they had also walked a long way from Chenjiazhuang, and it should be okay to rest for a while now.
He glanced not far away, there was a ruined temple.
It is a deserted mountain temple. The building is old and decayed, the wooden door has long been broken, the murals on the wall have long been peeled off, and the whole mountain temple is in the moonlight, accumulating dust and ashes, and cobwebs are overgrown.
"Wan'er, let's go to the temple and sit for a while, and then leave when you are comfortable."
When the woman heard this, her sloppy eyes finally had a little brilliance.
"Okay."
So, Zhuang Sheng helped Chen Wan step by step, and walked to the mountain temple on the outskirts of the city.
I thought it was just a short resting place on the way to escape, but I thought that this step by step, it was Huangquan Road.
——
The environment inside the ruined temple was even older than it looked from the outside, and the air smelled of dampness and corroded wood.
Chen Wan pinched her nose, the smell was too strong.
Seeing that Chen Wan was unwell, Zhuang Sheng picked up some relatively dry wood, and then took out the fire fold in the baggage. The fire fold was lit and the fire was raised.
"Smell the flames, and it won't be so rushing."
Chen Wan grabbed Ruyi Langjun's hand, her voice was a little coquettish, and she was indeed a little frightened, "I'm a little scared." ”
She has been pampered since she was a child, and it is the first time she has gone far away. And as soon as he came out, he didn't go home.
Zhuang Sheng sat beside her, took her in his arms, and kissed her forehead.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. ”
"Hmm." The beauty in her arms nodded, leaning shyly on his shoulder.
"Zhuang Sheng, what is the name of our child?"
"Let's call Zhuang Muwan. Zhuang Sheng admires Chen Wan's meaning. ”
Chen Wanjiao snorted, "It's too old-fashioned, and how do you know it must be a girl." ”
"It's my daughter. Looks like you, how good-looking. ”
While the two were still joking, they suddenly heard the sound of a roaring wind sweeping through the room.
What's going on?!
The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly extinguished the fire, and just as they were thinking about where to hide, the door of the broken temple, which was already half broken, was completely kicked away this time.
Is it Daddy?!
Chen Wan panicked in her heart.
However, the person who came was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. With long dark hair hanging down his shoulders, he wears a thin undergarment and a tunic and holds a charm in his hand.
The visitor's eyes were closed, but not open. But what is worn on the feet is also the popular cloud shoes. And it's like a fake - a real way to travel hundreds of miles a day!
"Detective Yunxuan!" Chen Wan was the first to recognize that this was her favorite heroine among women, and the mysterious detective in the clouds that thousands of women admired and pursued the most-Yun Feiyan.
Chen Wan was able to have the courage and be willing to elope with Zhuang Sheng this time, because of a martyrdom case that Yun Xuan solved two months ago.
It is said that after the case was concluded, Detective Yun Xuan personally spent money to bury the couple together.
Detective Yun Xuan said: Women are free, they can find love and self-improvement.
If Detective Yun knew about the situation of the two of them now, he would definitely help them!
Chen Wan just wanted to step forward, but Zhuang Sheng discovered the strangeness of this female detective.
She was wearing an undergarment, only a tunic, as if she had just woken up.
My eyes have been closed all the time, and I have never opened them!
That is, she is still parading in her dreams!
Zhuang Sheng immediately dragged Chen Wan back and hugged her in his arms.
He hadn't figured out how to save the lover in his arms, and Chen Wan didn't realize what was wrong, only to see a female detective throw a fire talisman at the two of them.
The fire talisman fell on Zhuang Sheng's arm, set fire to his clothes, and suddenly burst into flames, and the flames continued to burn in the ruined temple until they burned the two of them alive, burning their faces and bodies to death, and burning their ears and fingers to the point that they were gone.
