The girl sat there and didn't know what she was thinking.
Aunt Wu felt that she had told everything, but the girl had no intention of letting her go, and she was even more panicked.
I actually found a clue about the woman. Before I could tell Lin Sanniang, Aunt Wu stammered and said, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you."
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: You have no place to speak here, let alone make any demands from me, otherwise
I understand, the hairs on Aunt Wu’s body stand on end, I will listen to you in everything.
Xu Qinghuan said: What else do you know?
Aunt Wu swallowed: When I was walking around, I knew that there was a family at the foot of the mountain. The man in that family was mute. I don’t know when he married an ugly woman. The woman’s face was a bloody mess. It was really scary. At first, everyone was still
I thought that the man was married to a female ghost and would only come out and about in the middle of the night. Everyone wanted to see the woman, but they were beaten out by the mute.
Many people in our village know this. One year there was a plague in the village, and everyone thought it was caused by the evil ghost in the mute's house. Someone set a fire in the mute's house to burn the evil ghost to death.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu seemed to have forgotten her fear, and her eyes flashed with pride: I am the only one who knows that the evil ghost is not dead at all, and that it is not a evil ghost, but a real woman, because I passed by that house a while ago and heard
The sound of a baby crying, can a ghost give birth to a child?
Others may believe that my old lady has seen so many things and knows very well that there are no gods or ghosts in this world unless she sees it with her own eyes. So that night I let the two children sneak into the mute’s house, and then I
see
Seeing that the girl was listening with rapt attention, Mrs. Wu showed a flattering expression when she said this: she saw a woman on the mute's bed, with a child in her arms.
The child was extremely beautiful, and my family was also kind-hearted. I was afraid that the child was tricked by the mute, so I asked the mute and the woman carefully, and the woman said that she had given birth to the child.
The woman told the truth, and we thought she was pitiful, so we agreed to help her keep the secret. The woman also gave us something as a thank you.
Aunt Wu said in a low voice: I saw the needlework that the woman made for the child. Oh, it's really beautiful. It's not a craft you can see in our countryside. There are also some scattered silver and a small gold lock. The gold
The lock is also inlaid with precious stones, and it would be worth a lot of money if sold.
Later I wondered if it was that woman Lin Sanniang was looking for.
Xu Qinghuan said: What about the things the woman gave you? Are they still there?
No more, Mrs. Wu swallowed. I only had needles and threads on me, and everything else was sold.
After saying this, Aunt Wu's eyes turned red: We, old and young, all have to live our lives, otherwise I would not help Lin Sanniang do such unscrupulous work. This Bodhisattva, please let us go!
Before Mrs. Wu could finish her words, Xu Qinghuan tapped her fingers on the table, and Feng Chu immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other young woman.
Uncle Lei also went to pick up the Wu brothers who were tied up like rice dumplings.
Aunt Wu was so frightened that she said, "It's in a small box under my bed. I don't dare to use it. It's all there."
Xu Qing'an quickly walked to the inner room and rummaged around, and found a wooden box. When he opened it, he saw that there were several longevity locks inside. One of them was wrapped in fine cloth, and it turned out to be a gold lock inlaid with gems.
That’s all, Aunt Wu said, I’ll tell you everything this time.
I believe.
Under Aunt Wu's gaze, the girl finally said: You don't dare to tell lies anymore, but when I see my appearance, if I don't kill you, you will report it to the official, wouldn't I?
No, no, Aunt Wu said, we don’t dare to report to the official, we also have lives on our hands, if we report to the official, we will die too, it’s true, there are several corpses buried in the vegetable field in my backyard, they all died of illness before they were sent out.
My children, after you leave, we will bury my daughter-in-law there as well. Now that the war is in chaos and there is going to be a war, no one will care about this.
Aunt Wu said it sincerely.
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: I never believe such words, maybe you will change your mind if you turn around.
No, no
Xu Qinghuan refused to listen and nodded to Uncle Lei.
Uncle Lei immediately picked up Aunt Wu's son.
I have accounts, Aunt Wu said. I remember the accounts of every transaction clearly. As long as you take that account, you will hold the lives of our whole family. We are still of use to you. All the secrets in this world are in our hands.
We all know that especially those shady things need to be done by people like us.
There will be no need for you to take action next time. People like you only need to move your fingers and we will do everything properly.
Is this what you are talking about? Xu Qingan has already found the account book.
Aunt Wu nodded repeatedly: "However, you may not understand this. I am illiterate and I keep accounts in my own way."
Xu Qinghuan opened the account and found that there were no words in it but only dots and circles.
Aunt Wu said: I will tell you and you will know everything.
Xu Qinghuan flipped through the accounts, and after a while he seemed to have some interest. He looked at Xu Qingan: Brother, just write down everything she said!
This account, which could cost the lives of their whole family, was usually carefully kept by Aunt Wu, fearing that there might be any mistakes, but now she couldn't wait to tell others.
One stroke after another, clearly.
Because as long as that person is willing to listen, their whole family will be saved.
Xu Qingan asked carefully, and Mrs. Wu did not dare to lie. It took her a whole hour to go through everything recorded in the account.
Xu Qinghuan suddenly asked: Is there anything else where you lied to me?
Aunt Wu kept shaking her head.
No, Xu Qinghuan stood up, you broke into the mute's house not because you were worried that the mute had kidnapped someone else's child, but because you felt that the mute was weak and the outsiders didn't know what was going on in his home, so you couldn't have robbed the child and sold him to the mute.
There is nothing you can do, just when you are about to take the child away, the child's mother will take out the golden lock and exchange it with you.
You let the mute family go for the time being because you think there must be valuables in the mute's home. You need to support their family, slowly find out their secrets, and then ask for money from them.
It's not that you didn't have time to mention this to Lin Sanniang, it's just that you haven't calculated how much money this news will cost. After telling Lin Sanniang, do you want to take out the things you found before?
Aunt Wu felt that the girl in front of her was indescribably terrifying.
Are you afraid of me? Xu Qinghuan knelt down and looked at Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu nodded hurriedly.
Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly: You are wrong. There are gods and ghosts in this world. Your family is a fierce ghost. You should be afraid when you meet me.
Speaking of this, Xu Qinghuan's smile became even more touching: Because I eat ghosts for a living.
Aunt Wu was once again shrouded in fear: You, you, you want to kill me, you
Xu Qinghuan stopped talking.
At this time, the door was opened and two government officials walked in.
Before Aunt Wu could react, Xu Qinghuan had already turned around. She didn't want to be in the same room with such a beast anymore.
Xu Qinghuan walked out of the house. To her surprise, there were several people standing in the yard. The man in the leader was Song Chengxuan, who was majestic and heroic. Next to him was the military advisor Xue Chen, who had a deep expression.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but wipe the dried blood on her face with her hands. Her current appearance would probably make the military advisor even more worried.
Xue Chen's face gradually became more ugly.
Xu Qinghuan sighed, alas, it really wasn't a good time to meet.
