Chapter 49 The Death of Zou San
During the Lotus Festival, the old lady of the Shen family rarely goes to places with few people, and even some "carrying luck" places. Even the slaves of the Shen family took a detour. Just like at this time, Su Cheng and Ding Dequan were on the edge of the well. It is said that people had drowned in the well, so few people came to this yard.
Ding Dequan was the slave who had just spoken out of Su Cheng. Now the two of them are here, and Su Cheng will ask questions.
"The third brother was sentenced to death by the old lady because he was unfaithful to the old lady."
Ding Dequan looked at Su Cheng and said truthfully.
The incident happened very simply. Two months ago, the old lady of the Shen family took a boat to the Shen family's villa in another county town. While walking on the waters, a ship full of cargo came to the front and collided with the old lady's ship. The old lady was overturned on the ship and almost fell into the water. The cargo ship was heavy and after it overturned, it sank the ship. However, two friends on the cargo ship knew how to water, swam to the Shen family's ship, and grabbed the ship to ask for help.
"Our old lady has a bad temper. Whoever makes her uncomfortable for a while will make her feel uncomfortable for a lifetime. After she was overturned, she saw two mates on the cargo ship picking up the boat for help, and said to the people around her: This cargo is of great value. If you rescue these two mates and argue about the fault of the ship, it will never end. Why not drown them here."
"At that time, there were eight people who were with the old lady, namely Zhao Da, Wang Er, Zou San, Li Si, Sun Wu, Liu Liu, Geng Qi, and Ma Ba. The eight of them heard the old lady's words and hesitated and dared not move. Finally, the third brother advised the old lady to be at stake and asked the old lady to put her life first."
"When the old lady heard this, she pushed Brother Zou San into the water and drowned with the two people."
Ding Dequan said these words and trembled all over and said, "Today I will say these things. If they reach the old lady's ears, it may be a death. The old lady has a bad temper and strict rules. We work hard around her and do not dare to make any mistakes, just because she is afraid that she will turn against her face and will be ruthless."
"A little girl beside her will be dragged out to the old lady if she receives a little punishment. After that, she will never be able to return to the old lady. She can only be a rough girl, and her treatment will plummet."
When Su Cheng heard these words, he nodded slightly.
There are actually many such cases of big landlords oppressing the people, but from Ding Dequan's mouth, he learned the true face of the old lady of the Shen family, which surprised Su Cheng a little.
"Who is the one who pretends to be a ghost in front of me and Miaoshan today?"
Su Cheng asked.
"His name is Zhang San."
Ding Dequan quickly replied: "We have eight followers around us, and our names must be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Originally, Brother Zou San was able to follow the old lady because of his name. After Brother Zou San went, the old lady looked for another [three] at home. I was slow to change my name, so Zhang Youde took the lead."
When he heard that the old lady was looking for [San], he quickly changed her name to Zhang San and successfully got to the top. He also came to Su Cheng and Miao Shan, and he could still act vividly. He was really talented, but after eating Zou San's blood steamed buns, he lost his virtue.
Zhang Youde! You are the one who is talented but not virtuous!
"I see."
Su Cheng patted Ding Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't betray you."
Ding Dequan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Su Cheng's words.
Su Cheng nodded, turned around and left. However, when he passed by the well, he subconsciously looked into the well, and saw the ripples in the well, and there was nothing strange about it. He shook his head and was about to leave.
Ding Dequan next to him saw Sucheng shaking water, and suddenly remembered the rules of the Lotus Festival. When he came in and went in, he had to shaking water. He quickly put his head over, and then said "ah" and his face looked like a human.
I saw that Ding Dequan's face reflected in the well was completely different from Ding De on the well. In the water, reflected was a man in his thirties, wearing a green robe, with a white face soaked. His eyes were dull and unconscious, but he looked at the person on the water.
"Third brother, this is not my business at all!"
When Ding Dequan saw the face inside, his legs became weak and he lay directly beside the well, and a large piece of heavier on the crotch immediately became wet.
Su Cheng looked at the figure in the well with his eyes and shouted: "There is a cause of injustice and a debt. If you want to betray someone, you will betray someone. If Ding Dequan and you have no grudges, what are you going to betray him?"
When the characters in the water shadow heard Su Cheng's scolding, the ripples floated on the water surface, and their figure gradually dissipated. Later, when the water surface in the well condensed again and reflected the figure, what appeared there was Ding Dequan's own face.
“Hu…hu…”
Ding Dequan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the well, breathing, his face turned pale, his hair was sweating on his head, and his crotch was wet and wet.
Su Cheng stood beside him, looking at Ding Dequan, asking him to adjust his mood, and did not dare to leave Ding Dequan here just because he was afraid that another ghost would come out to harm him.
There are ghosts in this Lotus Festival, and it is true that it is true that you go in and see the water. You can really see the face of the ghost in the water. And the old lady of the Shen family also has something. During this period of the Lotus Festival, she does not go to places with few people, which obviously can avoid many ghosts.
"Not good!"
Ding Dequan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly remembered something, and quickly stood up, claimed it was not good, and said, "Mr. Su, can you change my clothes with me? We have been out for a long time. If the old lady thinks of us, I will definitely blame me."
Su Cheng looked at Ding Dequan's appearance and sighed and said, "You have just walked around the gate of hell, and what I think of is the old lady punishing you?"
Ding Dequan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I dare not hide it from you. If I am really caught by a ghost, it is [not to survive]. If I anger the old lady, it may be [not to die]. Now that Brother Zou San has gone, the old lady is in front of me."
"I have a wife and children at home, so I still have to support my family. I still want to live a good life."
Ding Dequan looked at Su Cheng with a plea.
Sucheng focuses on the key points.
Ding Dequan was relieved when he saw this and said, "Then let's go quickly. The old lady is a wealthy man. She is in the aroma of Zhilan all year round. She can't stand the evil spirit at the most. It's like the smell of urine on my body. As long as she smells a little, it will hit her."
Ding Dequan said the old lady's etiquette, sighed again, and said, "Fortunately today is the Lotus Festival, and there are many people in the city and not at home. Otherwise, I would take you to the courtyard today and suddenly change my clothes. I will definitely be punished."
Ding Dequan talked about the Shen family's family rules to Su Cheng.
The Shen family has extremely strict restrictions on slaves. They are circling around in the yard, killing them with their left foot and right foot. Whether they are sent to other places or directly killed, there are precedents.
Su Cheng just shook his head after hearing this.
