"Since the old man knew the evil deeds of these two people, why didn't he report them to the government and stop them?"
Ye Chengguan looked at the old beggar in confusion, with a hint of anger in his dark almond eyes.
"The crows in Jiangling City are as black as black. Why should I, an old beggar, ask for trouble?"
The old beggar snorted and folded his hands tightly in front of his chest.
He said it so calmly, but Hua Rujin realized that it might not be that simple.
This old beggar knew everything about what was going on inside. He had even studied the poisonous insects inside the female corpse and the spices in the tunnel quite thoroughly. He had already suffered a loss before coming in.
Recalling her conjecture at the county government office a few days ago, Hua Rujin looked at the old Taoist priest with a gloomy look: "So if your plot succeeds today, I will become your last medicinal ingredient to save Dou Sanlang?"
"You were born in the year of Dingyou. Not only are the four pillars of pure yin, they also overlap perfectly. In your previous life, you were the king of ghosts and immortals among the thirty-six evil spirits in the underworld. When you reach the age of hairpin, you can use your body to collect yin and replenish yang to solve the problem of Dou Yuan's maternal ancestor.
The disease is hereditary, and by refining the elixir with your bones and blood, the third son of the Dou family can be completely brought back to life."
The old Taoist priest described in an orderly manner the vision that fell from the sky when the original owner was born in Ding Younian and the disaster that happened in the Daye Dynasty that Hua Rujin once told in detail.
"absurd."
He still wants to collect yin and replenish yang. He is such an old prostitute. He can even miss his own daughter-in-law... Hua Rujin looked at Dou Yue angrily and said angrily:
"So Mr. Dou had planned it a long time ago, deliberately letting Dou Erlang flirt with me and forcing me to propose remarriage. Then you would naturally take out a suicide note and let the government judge that I was buried as a sacrifice for Dou Sanlang. In this way, you could hide it from the general.
I am connected to this tunnel to complete your carefully arranged conspiracy."
"It is true that there is a conspiracy. After all, you girl is engaged to Ye Zhixian, and you have the Shu family behind you. I should be cautious. But since you can see through Huang Laodao's deception, you must have realized that the suicide note was deliberately forged.
But it was definitely not my son’s intention.”
Dou Yue glanced at Dou Yuanqian who was lying on the ground with a dejected look, as if he had suddenly become much older: "He does treat you sincerely. As for Yuan Cheng, he is so stubborn and stubborn. Sooner or later, he will cause a big disaster. If you can do it for me,
The Dou family's efforts to resolve this disease are also his duty to his descendants."
Looking around at everyone with a heavy gaze, Dou Yue sighed deeply: "My ancestor made his fortune by developing spices. In order to be invincible in the shopping mall, his great-grandfather began to develop an aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic drug. It is with this fairy
It is the main ingredient, but in the process of refining and developing medicines, I have been contaminated by the medicinal gas of these medicinal materials all year round, and deep toxins accumulated in my blood, causing me to suffer from a rare scurvy.
This disease is like taking root and sprouting in the body, hiding in the blood of the descendants of my Dou family. The time of onset is unpredictable. Once the disease occurs, all the orifices will bleed to death. Qian'er is a rare genius in my Dou family who is rare in a century. He is knowledgeable and sensible.
He is gentle, elegant, and eager to learn and make progress, but this disease happened to catch up with him."
At this point, Dou Yue's voice gradually choked up: "I was very worried about this. In my early years, I also learned about a method of exchanging blood for blood from an overseas businessman. But before I even asked him for advice, this person left.
After the Daye Dynasty, I had to find another way. I got to know Huang Daozhang about four years ago, and he told me this folk remedy of picking up yin and replenishing yang, so I designed this marriage with your Hua family."
"I see."
Hua Rujin nodded thoughtfully.
Isn't this the so-called karma? The ancestors made evil money and let their descendants suffer.
Ye Chengguan looked around intently, still a little puzzled: "Nineteen women are missing in this county, who are in the other coffins?"
"Of course it's thanks to this expert."
The old beggar looked at Taoist Huangpao angrily: "If there are too many missing women, the government will be aware of it, so most of the remaining seventeen people were buried by Huang Laotao for other families, and they were dug from other people's graveyards to accompany the rituals of ghost marriages.
of."
Seeing the sad and angry looks from everyone, the yellow-robed Taoist priest quickly lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Hua Rujin hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickered, and her gaze slowly fell back to Dou Yue: "You just said that the third young master treats me sincerely. What do you mean by that? I have never met him, and I have never even paid a visit to him.
How can he treat me sincerely after we worshiped him?"
"Although he disagrees with this marriage, it's not because he doesn't miss you in his heart. It's definitely not his intention that he didn't come to see you to get married that day."
Dou Yue half-squinted his eyes and said in a rather sad tone: "That day when you were sent to your new house, he actually went to your room at night. When he came back, he happily told me, Father, you married this man for your son.
My wife and son are very satisfied. They are as beautiful as flowers and are better than gods. It’s a pity..."
As I spoke, I choked up again.
With a lonely expression, he took out a piece of paper tightly wrapped in leather paper from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Rujin. He said in a very low voice: "This is the suicide note he wrote. He knew that he would not die soon.
I hope I can cancel this marriage and give you your freedom."
After hearing this, Hua Rujin finally understood.
After taking the suicide note, he lowered his eyebrows and looked down at the body stabbed to death in front of him, unable to let go for a long time.
No wonder he never thought of hurting himself.
Looking at the depressed Hua Rujin, the old beggar sneered and shook his head: "Your son is indeed a humble gentleman. If he knew that you used so many innocent women to extend his life, even the girl from the Hua family you married was used for it.
If you atone for the sins of your Dou family, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace even if you're under the Nine Springs."
"At this point, I have nothing to say."
Dou Yue looked at Hua Rujin: "Miss Hua, if you want to be jealous, just hate me. It's just that Yuan Qian is a good boy from beginning to end. He is innocent."
"But Chen San was scared to death by him after all."
Ye Chengguan said: "In order to make the government believe that there are ghosts and gods in the Dou family, you deliberately released your son and scared Chen San to death."
"I could deceive Liu Cheng and Tang Haoran's gang, but in the end I couldn't deceive Mr. Ye."
Dou Yue kept smiling bitterly: "You are indeed worthy of His Majesty's grace. It seems that things are about to change in Jiangling City."
"Although the Dou family is a wealthy family, it is not so rich as to rival the country."
Ye Chengguan looked around: "The Dou family may not be able to build such a spacious tunnel for a while, right?"
"The number one scholar is a bit ignorant."
The old beggar rushed to answer: "When Taizu raised his troops to attack Jiangling City, they could not capture it for three months, so his staff came up with a way to let the soldiers dig tunnels from the Chu River directly into the city, and the Dou family
It just happens to be an exit from the tunnel."
Hearing this, Hua Rujin suddenly raised her head, becoming more and more curious about the old beggar.
This man didn't look like an ordinary beggar.
I don't know what his intention is in dressing up like this.
Looking at his expression, Hua Rujin sneered meaningfully: "You seem to know a lot?"
The old beggar pretended to smile lightly: "Those who walk around the streets begging all day naturally know more than you."
Dou Yue was also puzzled: "I don't know the origin of this tunnel, but I discovered the entrance accidentally, so I asked Huang Laodao to use some Qimen Dunjia methods to design several entrances."
After hearing this, Ye Chenggu suddenly felt bad.
There are so many tunnels hidden under the county town that he governs, which will become a disaster sooner or later.
He quickly looked at the old beggar and asked: "Senior, where else can I go but here?"
"No, it's all... filled in."
The old beggar shook his head desperately: "There is no second place."
"really?"
Hua Rujin didn't believe his lies.
"What good does it do me, an old beggar, to lie to you two little babies?"
The old beggar quickly changed the subject: "I think Zhuangyuan Lang's kung fu is quite good. This way of fighting should be learned from that bad old man Wei Shuhan in Beijing, right?"
"Exactly."
His mentor was called a bad old man, and Ye Chengguan showed dissatisfaction: "Senior, do you know your mentor?"
"The famous first lawyer of the previous dynasty helped the great ancestor conquer this country. Who has not heard of the current chief minister of the dynasty, a rare genius with both civil and military skills?"
The old beggar rolled his eyes and replied casually, then turned to look at Hua Rujin with a smile: "Girl, I think you have amazing bones and are quite courageous. Your skills are barely agile. You have a good foundation. Why don't you pay me my respects?"
I am a teacher, and I will also teach you some special skills."
"cut."
Hua Rujin rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Are you going to teach me how to escape or go out on the street to cheat and get money?"
Although I have noticed that the old beggar is a bit unusual, I don't know anything about him, so I suddenly want to become a disciple by myself. Either he is seriously ill or he has ulterior motives.
Thinking that he still didn't know what was going on, he turned around and signaled to Ye Chengguan: "Now that the truth has come to light, let's find a way to get out."
"good."
Ye Chengguan nodded and wiped the bloody sword in his hand with the cloth that blocked the scent.
However, during the fight with Dou Yuanqian, the mechanism that went up was shattered, and the two had no choice but to escort Dou Yue and the yellow-robed Taoist priest to follow the old beggar out from another exit.
