After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 103 The Hypocrite

In recent years, Emperor Shenqi has often embezzled money from the treasury because of his obsession with cultivating Taoism, which has caused financial constraints.

So many years ago, the government popularized a saying of "seeing the coffin and getting rich", which is called the household cancellation tax.

If someone in the family dies of illness, if they need to report to the government to cancel the account, they need to hand over a sum of money, which is called "seeing the coffin and getting rich" by the people.

After Liu Da died in Hanzhuang, Su Miaozhen's siblings disappeared again. The people in Hanzhuang were unwilling to raise money for a foreigner who died of illness. In order to avoid trouble, they didn't report it to the government, but directly buried him.

Anyway, Liu Da's hometown is far away in Jiangning, and he is not familiar with the place where he was born, and no one will know when he died.

Unexpectedly, he would eventually be implicated in this lawsuit, and was found out by the people of the General's Mansion, who dug up his body.

Counting the time, he has been dead for seven days. Because of the cold weather recently, his body has not been seriously decomposed, so Su Miaozhen and his brother recognized him, which made the case deadlocked.

The most troublesome thing is that Su Miaozhen and Su Qingchun were involved, and they may even implicate the Yao family.

"how is this possible--"

Mrs. Liu panicked, "That day, when she entered the city, Miaozhen clearly said that it was Liu Da who drove her into the city..."

If Liu Da had already died in Zhuangzi at that time, then who was the one who sent Su Miaozhen and his brother into the city?
Originally looking for Liu Da was to find out who was behind the scenes, but Liu Da's death made the case even more confusing.

"In short, you have to know what you want."

Yao Hui is in Gongmen, so he is more aware of the seriousness of this matter after it is found out than Liu Shi.

Liu Daruozhen died seven days ago, which means that all of Su Miaozhen's confessions are not credible.

"Father—" Yao Shouning thought of the consciousness attached to Su Miaozhen, and wanted to remind Yao Hui.

It's a pity that the cousin is still here, she hesitated to speak.

There was an unconcealable fear on her face. When Yao Hui saw it, he thought she was just frightened by what he said.

His daughter was still young, and he hadn't experienced such a thing before. He regretted that he shouldn't have said this in front of her. It just made his daughter panic and didn't help much.

Thinking of this, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yao Ruoyun who had changed clothes coming out of the room, and his eyes lit up:
"Ruoyun, you send Shouning and your cousin back to the house first."

Yao Ruoyun stopped straightening her sleeves, and was about to speak, but seeing her father's firm face, she finally nodded helplessly and agreed.

Su Miaozhen lowered her head, suppressed the disgust in her eyes, and said softly:
"Why don't you bother my cousin to see you off, I'll just go back with Qingchun."

Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted to introduce her son to meet Su Miaozhen and her brother because it was rare for her to come back, but when things got to this point, Yao Hui was obviously afraid that there would be changes in the family, so she wanted to explain to her in advance, so that she could have a chance. a psychological preparation.

As a result, it is naturally no longer a good time for this cousin to say hello.

She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and squeezed out a smile:

"Let your cousin send it out together, and you both happen to know each other well."

She has said all this, if Su Miaozhen refuses again, it will naturally appear too deliberate, fearing that it will arouse suspicion from Mrs. Liu and others, so she endured the boredom in her heart and obediently agreed.

Yao Ruoyun tied his hands behind his back, with a cool and refined look, and motioned for a few people to go out with him.

Knowing that there was something wrong with Liu Dazhi's death, Yao Shouning felt numbness in his back when he met Su Miao again, as if there was an evil ghost staring at him with malicious intentions anytime and anywhere.

But fortunately, Su Miaozhen was distracted at this moment and had no time to pay attention to her.

Su Qingchun felt uneasy because of Liu Dazhi's death, and recalled her sister's strange look before, she was afraid in her heart, and kept silent.

After everyone left Liu's main house, Yao Ruoyun paused and frowned.

"Shouning follow me to send my cousin back first."

At other times, when relatives meet, the elders should have recommended each other and saluted each other.

But today Liu Shi and Yao Hui couldn't spare time, so they skipped this etiquette.

Yao Ruoyun is already engaged, and her age is similar to Su Miaozhen's. Seeing this cousin's restrained behavior, she is probably not used to getting along with men, so she is considerate and wants to avoid suspicion, but the Liu family has orders, so she wants to pull Yao Shouning along. Send the two siblings back first.

But as soon as his words fell, Su Miaozhen hurriedly said:
"Don't be so troublesome!"

Her tone was a little cold, with a strong disgust, she said softly:
"Cousin will be sent here, I don't dare to bother you anymore, Qingchun and I will go back alone." After she finished speaking, she added forcefully:
"Don't worry, when my aunt asks, I will tell her that my cousin has sent Qingchun and me away, and I won't blame you."

Her attitude was stiff, and she seemed to be very rude when speaking to Yao Ruoyun. This was completely contrary to her previous impression, which made Yao Shouning a little surprised.

This was not her illusion, because she noticed that after Su Miaozhen's voice fell, Su Qingchun couldn't help but secretly glanced at his sister, obviously feeling that something was wrong.

Hearing this, Yao Ruoyun didn't feel unhappy, but heaved a sigh of relief. He clasped his hands and bowed:
"In this way, it couldn't be better."

Su Miaozhen was taken aback by his reaction.

In her memory, the moment Yao Ruojun saw her, she fell into madness, and vowed to marry her as a disciple, and her obsession was very tight.

She refused gently at first, but later scolded him coldly, but she couldn't make him sober.

But he didn't expect that he had just met today, and after a few words, he had already retreated - this was completely different from the Yao Ruoyun in her previous life memory.

However, she immediately noticed Yao Shouning's curious wide-eyed eyes, and then she realized that maybe Yao Shouning was there. This cousin was putting on a show and didn't want to be seen by others.

"hypocrite!"

She sneered from the bottom of her heart, disdaining him very much.

But at this time, she finally got out, and she didn't want to stay here.

The Yao Ruoyun from her previous life left a very unbearable impression in her heart. She didn't want to get along with him for a moment. After getting his permission, she didn't even have time to pretend to say hello to Yao Shouning, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Cousin, cousin, I..."

Su Qingchun was very embarrassed, just as he was about to speak, Su Miaozhen shouted at him:
"Qingchun!"

He hastily cupped his hands, and timidly chased after her.

As soon as the siblings left, Yao Shouning looked away and stared at Yao Ruoyun curiously.

According to Su Miaozhen's consciousness, her elder brother is a lustful person. Seeing how she spoke to Yao Ruoyun before, she might really believe the evil of her consciousness and think that her elder brother is not a good person.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a subtle sympathy for Yao Ruoyun, she sighed, and patted Yao Ruoyun's arm.

"?"

Yao Ruoyun went in without knowing, turned to look at her, and saw her look of pity.
