Chen Mengsheng dipped his fingers in wine and drew some characters on the table that only he could understand. He was muttering silently in his heart: The Lu family was in an uproar only because Zheng Weimin said a joke. Lu Yunxiao went out to borrow a drink in anger.
However, he suffered a fatal disaster, and in the end his body turned into a ghost in a foreign land. Ye Shuang'er probably hanged himself in front of Zheng Weimin's door to clarify his ambitions, frightening Ye Sanye who was on duty to death. Poor Ye Shuang'er.
Five-year-old Lu Wuji died in vain, his whole family was destroyed, and everything happened just because of a joke. Tragedy and misfortunes in the world really make people sigh.
Zheng Weimin had already paid his life for his joke, and even the deaths of Bao Xiaoji and the Pan brothers were all caused by wealth. Chen Mengsheng drew eight circles on the table, each circle represented a
A living human life...
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the fresh fish restaurant. The iron hoofs on the horseshoes woke up the quiet bluestone road in the dead of night, which also interrupted Chen Mengsheng's thoughts. When he looked up at the road, he saw a tall brown horse in the dark night.
The horse ran as fast as a shooting star and arrived in front of the fresh fish restaurant in an instant.
"Boss Liu, let's have a piece of silver carp for two, with two pounds of Sichuan pepper padi, whitebait soup, grilled anchovy, and a pot of wine." No one has entered the store, but this voice has already attracted everyone in the fish restaurant.
People heard it.
The person who came had a hero scarf on his head, a black outfit and a palm-wide cowhide Kung Fu belt around his waist. He had sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, a broad mouth, and a lion nose. He looked like a heroic man.
"Ah, it's Mr. Yu who's here. I haven't seen Mr. Yu for a few days. I guess he's made a fortune by picking up escorts again." Shopkeeper Liu of the Fresh Fish Restaurant leaned forward and said with a smile.
"Haha, how can I make a fortune? Your boss Liu's business is where I make a fortune. Didn't I just go to Xianyang? I haven't eaten your fish for three months and I'm so hungry."
"Boss Yu, please sit down for a moment. I'll have a drink with you after my brother finishes his work." After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu turned back to clean up his work.
Yu Biao glanced at the seventeen and eight tables in the fresh fish restaurant, and frowned for a moment. Chen Mengsheng stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, if you don't give up, come over and have a drink with us."
"Haha, I'm Yu Tianbao. I'm the head of the Changfeng Escort Agency in Huzhou Prefecture. I'm lucky enough to meet you today, so I'd rather obey your orders." Yu Tianbao handed over his hand and thanked him.
With little effort, Yu Tianbao's order was served. The more Yu Tianbao and Chen Mengsheng talked, the more they became more and more speculative. The escorts were everywhere and knew a lot of things. Chen Mengsheng was very talented and knew everything at a glance. The two of them knew everything.
The conversation passed without realizing it for more than half an hour.
The diners in the fresh fish restaurant had almost left, and shopkeeper Liu, who had worked hard all day, could relax at this moment. Holding a plate of fish and a jar of wine, he sat down with a smile on his face among Chen Mengsheng and Yu Tianbao.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yu, and this brother. Mr. Liu neglected you two. This is the Taihu white fish that was just delivered this evening. Let's all have a try. I, Liu Jianquan, can help Mr. Yu wash away the dust." Shopkeeper Liu
I poured myself a drink.
"Haha, you, Boss Liu, are too polite. But Yu Tianbao has been thinking about Boss Liu's fresh fish for three months. Why is it so fresh? Is it possible that Boss Liu mixed the fresh fish with human flesh?"
"Pfft!" Shopkeeper Liu hadn't swallowed the sip of wine. He choked on the wine when Yu Tianbao said this and kept coughing. He said displeasedly: "Boss Yu, you're kidding too much. Liu's fish is so delicious because
Come and see how hard it is to prepare the soup." Liu Jianquan turned around and took out an iron pot from behind.
"Yu Biaotou, there are live chickens, eel bones, and green shell screws put together in this pot. It has been boiled for thirty-six hours, and then sieved with fine gauze to only use the paste to add flavor. What did Yu Biaotou say to me?
Using human flesh, has Yu Biaotou ever eaten human flesh?"
"Haha, there's no need to be angry, Boss Liu. I was just joking, but I have actually eaten this kind of human flesh."
"Ah..." Liu Jianquan and Chen Mengsheng both exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Tianbao drank a glass of wine and said: "That was seven or eight years ago, when my brother and I were escorting to Shaanxi and passed through Guang'an Prefecture. I took more than a dozen brothers with me without a village or a store, and we were hungry all day and night. We were in the barren mountains and wild mountains.
Suddenly I heard a strange noise, so I rushed to see a steamed stuffed bun shop."
Shopkeeper Liu asked: "Which bun shop buys human meat buns?"
"That's right. A group of us didn't know it at the time and bought that basket of steamed buns. One of my men ate a fingernail, and the other man vomited out even the gall water.
.”
Chen Mengsheng asked: "Is there such a black shop in the world?"
"Yes, more than ten of us rushed over. The shop owner saw that the situation was not going well and disappeared in a burst of black smoke. He only caught a waiter and beat him up. The waiter was then recruited. They made it out of dead human flesh.
Baozi. The brothers killed the waiter in anger, but who knew that the waiter was knifed and revealed his true form, but he was a black dog."
Shopkeeper Liu didn't believe it and said with a smile: "Guard Leader Yu likes to joke, so there is someone who can turn into black smoke and turn into a black dog after death? I have lived in Huzhou Prefecture for more than thirty years, and I have never heard of such a thing.
"
Chen Mengsheng knew that Yu Tianbao had encountered a mountain spirit monster on his way as an escort, and that the one who escaped in the form of smoke must be an evildoer. At the moment, he did not say anything to explain the truth, but just smiled at the escort leader Yu and Shopkeeper Liu.
Filled with wine.
Shopkeeper Liu chuckled and said, "If my store starts doing this kind of business tomorrow, I won't need you to step in. The neighbors will point their fingers at me and scold me to death, haha."
"Haha, oh, that's right. I went back to the Changfeng Escort Agency in Huzhou Prefecture at noon today, and I was shooting near Meihua Temple outside the city. I saw how the daughter of the Jin family became a sister-in-law?"
"Which Jin family girl is she?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.
"She is the daughter of your neighbor Jin Xiucai's family."
With a "bang", the wine glass in Shopkeeper Liu's hand dropped to the ground in shock and broke into eight pieces. He stared at Yu Tianbao and said: "Boss Yu, you have drunk too much, or you have been traveling so hard that you saw the wrong person? Then?
Jin Xiucai only had a daughter, Jin Qiaoyun. That daughter hanged herself two months ago..."
"What? You are not talking nonsense? What I saw at noon was Jin Qiaoyun. Escorts are the sharpest at looking at people. I have been an escort for more than thirty years and can look at people without forgetting them. What's more, I am watching Jin Qiaoyun.
She has grown up, how can she be wrong?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "With the red mouth and white teeth, is it possible that I cursed people behind their backs? The daughter of the Jin family hanged herself, and everyone here knows about it. I also have three or three liang elements, how can this be false?"
Yu Tianbao's head shook like a rattle, and he said to himself: "I called that girl today, but she ignored me. That girl is not usually like this. Could it be that I really recognized the wrong person?"
The speaker was unintentional and the listener had the truth. Chen Mengsheng immediately thought of Ye Shuang'er who hanged himself to death two months ago. He asked: "Where is the Miss Jin family buried?"
Liu Jianquan didn't expect that this stranger would also ask about Jin Qiaoyun, but he couldn't answer for a moment and said awkwardly: "I told the truth. On the day of Miss Jin's funeral, I was busy with business and did not go to the funeral. But I
But I know that it is buried in the purple bamboo forest not far from here. You have to ask the Jin family for the exact location."
"Who else is in the Jin family? Where do they live?"
"Jin Xiucai and his wife are both here. All you need to do is walk out of this house and walk a hundred steps west. Sir, do you know the Jin family?"
Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "I don't know, I just like to make inquiries. Then why does Miss Jin care about herself?"
"Yes, you are alive and well. Why did you hang yourself?" Yu Tianbao also asked.
Liu Jianquan drank the wine in the cup and sighed: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I only blame this girl for being born in the Jin family. That Jin scholar was too utilitarian, and a good girl was ruined like this."
Already..."
The real name of Jin Xiucai was Jin Qianli. He was a scholar who passed the Shaoxing Provincial Examination in the 11th year. But he failed repeatedly, and later he simply stopped taking the exam. He learned some Five Elements and Bagua from others and actually achieved some success. If nothing happens, let someone see it.
Feng shui divination course. Over time, he became famous. There was an only daughter in the family named Qiaoyun.
This Jin Qiaoyun has been in her fifteenth year. Although she does not have the appearance of a shy flower, she is still very upright. There is an endless stream of people who propose marriage and matchmaking, but this Jin Qianli is a girl who looks down on her and threatens to talk about herself.
If you are still a queen among people, you will definitely be rich and powerful in the future, and you will definitely not be able to marry into an ordinary family.
Jin Qiaoyun's marriage has been delayed for three years. At the beginning of this year, Mr. Niu, the prefect of Huzhou, wanted to renew his marriage. He asked a media to tell him that he actually agreed to marry him, saying that after the Dragon Boat Festival, he would marry his daughter to Niu's house.
This matter was later known to the girl Qiaoyun, who refused to live or die. As a result, she committed suicide in the boudoir, and the prefect Niu had no choice but to give up.
"Confused, confused Jin Qianli. If I had to beat him up, it would be reasonable to push my daughter into the fire pit. That prefect, Mr. Niu, is already over fifty, ugh. Drink, drink."
Mr. Yu drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Chen Mengsheng lowered his head and said nothing, thinking that if Jin Qiaoyun was really like what Liu Jianquan said, then Ye Shuang'er was missing. In any case, he had to go to the purple bamboo forest to find out.
Chen Mengsheng stood up and bowed his hands and said: "I met two brothers by chance today. Chen Mengsheng is very lucky. However, the night is late and the brothers left first. We will have a drink together when we have the opportunity tomorrow." After saying this, he took out a fifty-fifty tablet from his arms.
Two taels of ingots were placed on the table. Money is the courage of the poor. Chen Mengsheng carried the silver he won from Ruyi Square and gave Xiao Zhuzhu eight thousand taels and five hundred taels left.
Yu Tianbao grabbed the silver and stuffed it into Chen Mengsheng's arms and said, "Brother Chen, you just have to do what you want. There is no reason for you to spend money." When the two were arguing, Liu Jianquan laughed and said, "You two are like this
I'm embarrassed to call you "Liu" politely. Today, I won't be the host of mother-in-law or mother-in-law." Chen Mengsheng had no choice but to bow and leave...
There was no one along the way, so Chen Mengsheng summoned Zheng Weimin from the soul-destroying bottle and asked, "Do you know Zizhulin?"
"Of course we know each other. There is a tomb where the girls who have not left the palace are buried. Why did the judge go to the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
"Lead the way, Ye Shuang'er may be buried in the Purple Bamboo Forest..."
