Chapter 14: The Father-in-law Marries
"That doesn't seem to work!"
After listening to Qiao Chen'an's words, Xu Xian hesitated a little.
Qiao Chen smiled peacefully: "Why not? It's absolutely no problem to do what I say." ”
Xu Xian said: "Not to mention that the method you said will not work, but how can you guarantee that there will be no more life cases in the future......?
Qiao Chen'an had expected him to ask this question, so he said: "When I went out yesterday, I happened to meet an old Taoist priest who was exorcising ghosts, and when I stepped forward to ask, I realized that the recent murders in the county were all done by an evil ghost, and the harmful ghost has been subdued by him, understand?"
The fact that the evil ghost was killed by him was too shocking to tell Xu Xian, you must know that the courage of the person in front of him is really not very big, otherwise he would not be scared to death by Bai Suzhen, who mistakenly drank realgar wine and showed his original form.
Xu Xian hesitated: "In other words, there will be no more murders in the future?"
"What's the matter with the mother-in-law and mother-in-law?
Qiao Chenan said helplessly, Xu Xian's personality is really unlikeable, maybe because he has been dependent on his sister for so many years, he is more feminine, and he is a "little sufferer" in layman's terms.
Xu Xian frowned and thought for a moment, and finally stopped hesitating, and said, "I'll go back and tell my brother-in-law......"
......
At dusk, the news that the major murder case in Qiantang County was solved suddenly spread, and the entire small city was almost boiling!
When Qiao Chenan arrived, he saw that the front of the county government was already full of people, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of people, Li Gongfu stood in the center of the crowd with his subordinates, and when he saw that everyone was almost here, he said loudly: "Fellow villagers, you have been frightened these days. But fortunately, the shocking murder case has been solved, and this is the culprit!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a body on the ground, his face was full of awe, but in fact, only he understood how nervous he was at this time, and if his plan was discovered, he would probably be guilty.
But at the moment, he couldn't take care of much, seeing that he was about to have a wife and start a family, how could he be willing to go to prison, so he had to follow the advice of his cheap brother-in-law, and treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Everyone followed his fingers to look at the ground, only to see a charred black body, a foot tall thing lying on the ground, burned up and down, constantly spilling out a pungent stench, looking extremely hideous.
Everyone's faces showed surprise, and one of them shouted: "Li Zhutou, what kind of strange thing is this, is it the murderer?"
Li Gongfu pretended to be calm and said: "Not bad!"
Turning his head to look at the person behind him, "What did you see that day?"
After hearing his words, he carefully glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and stammered: "It was too dark that day, and I couldn't see it clearly, but ...... It looks like it's pretty much the same, it should be ...... You can't go wrong!"
Li Gongfu was a little calm, and he glanced at his two subordinates before he said loudly: "That's right......!
began to tell about his "heroic" experience of catching ghosts, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers from everyone, and looked at him with undisguised admiration.
Qiao Chenan listened to it funny on the side of the street, this Li Gongfu is a person who can speak well, and everyone who bluffed was stunned. Now he can be regarded as having a bad deal, maybe he can get a lot of reward afterwards, this time, it is time to find an auspicious day of the zodiac, and sit on a beautiful flower.
Just about to leave, but saw a young man dressed in black and carrying a bag standing at the corner of the street, with the hilts of two long swords exposed behind his shoulders, dressed as a ranger, glanced at the "evil ghost" at Li Gongfu's feet, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully: "What kind of fierce ghost and evil demon should I be, it turned out to be an impostor......
Then he turned and left, and was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Chen's peace of mind moved slightly, if it weren't for the fact that his five senses had greatly improved after his cultivation, I am afraid that he would not have heard the man's words. It stands to reason that Li Gongfu's work must be extremely secretive, and only a few people know about it, but this man can see at a glance that this "monster" is an impostor, and it is estimated that he is also a Taoist priest or something.
So he secretly kept this person's appearance in mind, and said that he would meet him again one day.
......
The matter was temporarily resolved, and no one was killed in the next few days, and Li Gongfu, who was still a little apprehensive, finally put his heart in his stomach and began to prepare for his marriage with Xu Jiaorong wholeheartedly.
The people of Qiantang City no longer stay in their homes at night, and they have stepped out of their homes, and the entire ancient city has returned to its former prosperity.
As soon as this matter was over, Xu Xian came to the house again, naturally thanking him a thousand times, and bringing a great news for himself - Xu Jiaorong was about to marry Li Gongfu, and the time was set for seven days later, and Qiao Chenan would be there when he was invited.
Qiao Chen'an didn't allow anything, and after bidding farewell to Xu Xian, he couldn't help but think that now that Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu have also become a pair, Bai Suzhen should be coming soon!
On the March day of the West Lake, on the broken bridge of the beautiful woman, the smoke and rain and the moon are bright, when can we meet?
Shi is like a white horse, and soon it will be the day for two people to hold a happy event, and the location is in the east of Qiantang County.
Just after the hour, there was a noisy sound of gongs and drums at the end of the alley, the team of greeting relatives finally came back, four sturdy sedan chairmen carried a big red sedan chair, walked steadily, surrounded by neighborhoods to send relatives, everyone's face was full of joy.
The sedan chair was welcomed to the door, and someone led the bride to get off the sedan chair and walked to the courtyard, Xu Jiaorong wore a big red robe, with a red hijab on her head, and came to the hall, Li Gongfu was waiting there in the groom's official uniform, and his face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
The matchmaker put Xu Jiaorong's palm into Li Gongfu's hand, and then retreated with a smile, and the side was full of relatives, and the principal shouted at the top of his voice: "Newlyweds, Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong, worship heaven and earth......"
Life is happy, but that's it.
......
In the courtyard, Xu Xian looked at the figure of his sister in the house, he didn't know what he remembered, he actually shed tears, Qiao Chenan patted him on the shoulder when he saw this, and said, "Isn't it a good thing that your sister is married?
Xu Xian sobbed softly, as if he didn't want anyone to see him like this, he turned his back and said: "You don't know, my parents died when I was a child, and I have always been dependent on my sister and two people, and she has suffered a lot to take care of me over the years......"
Qiao Chenan sighed lightly, Xu Xian's life experience is pitiful and worthy of sympathy, but who can understand the sadness in his heart?
Born an orphan in his previous life, he has never tasted the taste of family affection, more than ten years of ups and downs, laughter and sadness are all tasted alone, and only he knows the taste.
It wasn't until he died and came to this world in a dream that he truly experienced the taste of family affection, just like a drowning person grasping the last straw, which was naturally doubly cherished.
But his loneliness as a traverser can not be eliminated in any way, a person at night, often look up at the starry sky, there, can you find his happiness?
