Jinyi Music

Zhuangtou said this, but he glanced at the buyer, and quietly pulled Zhang Cheng aside and said,

"I dare not hide it from you, but now everyone says that the forest is haunted!"

Zhang Cheng also changed his face when he heard the words. People in the world are superstitious, and they are very afraid of the ghosts and gods, so he asked in a low voice,
"How to say?"

"The place where Old Xiao's head was hanged, they searched for people in the middle of the night yesterday, and they just walked around there, but no one saw the hanging old Xiao's head..."

After a pause, he said,
"Old Xiao said he was hanged, but there was a black handprint on his neck..."

After finishing speaking, Zhuangtou made a gesture of choking his neck,
"That... that's how it is... They all said that Old Xiaotou was wandering around in the mountains and forests, and he might have offended a ghost on a grave, and was picked up by the ghost and killed..."

Zhang Cheng's face became more serious after hearing this, but he still cared about the buyer, so he turned around and smiled with him,
"It's just an old farmer who can't think about it for a while, it's nothing serious..."

But the buyer was not an idiot, he found an excuse and left when he heard that someone was killed, and when he turned around to inquire, he said that the village was haunted by ghosts, so he immediately sent someone to push the seller away!
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to hide it, so he reported it to Si Lian at that time. Si Lian raised her eyebrows when she heard this,
"Oh... is there such a thing?"

People in the Jianghu can do that method of killing, but how an old man from a farmer could make enemies with people in the Jianghu, the cause of his death is a bit strange!
Si Lian immediately ordered the horses to be prepared,
"Let's go and see!"

This person took a carriage and went out of the city to look at the corpse of old Xiaotou. When he arrived, the Xiao family had already set up a mourning hall, and the white flags outside the house were flying in the wind. I gave some more money. Xiao's family is a real estate family. Seeing the owner coming over in person, and being so approachable and friendly, I was very touched. When I heard that the coffin was going to be opened for an autopsy, I didn't hesitate At that time, Si Lian was brought in.It's not that they are disrespectful to the dead when they see Qian Qian, it's just that the death of this person is strange, and they are also muttering in their hearts, if the old lady of the family is not thinking of letting the old man be buried as soon as possible, the children are afraid that they will report to the police!

Now that the boss came out, the old lady of the Xiao family didn't dare to say much, she just cried outside, telling the hard work and misfortune of the man in this life, the Xiao family opened the coffin for Si Lian to have a look, Si Lian carefully observed the old Xiao's face, There is also the handprint on the neck, I immediately understood that this person was probably killed by someone!

Now it's easy to say,

"I saw the strangeness of Old Man Xiao's death. It was not because he was strangled by a ghost, but because his throat was crushed by someone with high martial arts skills, and he suffocated to death..."

After all, tell the eldest son of the Xiao family,

"You put your hand on the throat of old man Xiao..."

The eldest son of the Xiao family boldly stretched out his hand to press his own father's throat, and sure enough, his hands were limp, and there was no place to exert force inside.
"This is due to the congestion and swelling after the throat bone was broken. If you use a knife to cut this place, there must be congestion inside..."

So the Xiao family really obeyed the boss's words and went to report to the official. The official immediately sent a clerk to cut the throat, and sure enough there was blood gushing out, and the throat bone was broken. Afterwards, no injuries were found on the body.
"The fatal injury is the throat. It was suffocated to death by crushing the throat..."

The government decided that this was a vendetta, so they sent people around to track down the person who had a grudge against Lao Xiaotou. Seeing that someone had taken over, Si Lian returned to the city in a carriage. She didn't know that someone was in the dark. very annoyed,
"Miscalculation! Miscalculation! This deaf-mute old man has no relatives or reasons for her, and the cause of death is too obvious. She doesn't need to take action at all. What kind of person should be picked to let her do an autopsy?"

The person in the dark spent a lot of time choosing, and finally set his sights on the girl with the most outstanding appearance beside Si Lian.
"This girl is so beautiful, and judging by her body shape, she is clearly broken. It seems that she is probably the bed warming girl that Mou Biao kept by her side. Although the Jia family is clever, she has an ordinary appearance. She can barely be called delicate, and she is far behind this girl, maybe she is not favored in the backyard, so it is better to find a way to kill this girl and put the blame on Mrs Jia, in order to prove her innocence, Mrs Jia, You must do it yourself!"

Not to mention that the person planned secretly, and said that during this period, Si Lian successfully sold the property in her hand, but received nearly 10 taels of silver. She asked Mou Biao how to deal with it, and Mou Biao thought about it and smiled. ,
"I'm not going to hide it from you now, but in fact, I have left two retreats, one bright and one dark. On the bright side, I am doing business with Gu San and the others in the south, and we have friends by the sea. If we want to go, we will probably go to the south. ..."

He paused,
"Actually, I thought the same way before, but later I felt that it was clear that people would chase after me..."

He said with a hey smile,

"So I secretly found another way out..."

After that, he raised his finger and pointed to the southwest, Silian asked with wide eyes,

"Do you mean to go to Shuzhong or Yungui?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"The Kingdom of Abundance is self-contained. Although it is also under the control of the imperial court, there are many barbarians. They all set up their own lands as kings and refuse to obey the imperial court's discipline. They have clan elders to manage their own clansmen and territory. The imperial court will not interfere easily. We went there and hid in the mountains, but they couldn't find them even if they tried their best. After the limelight passed, we went to the south to go to the sea to have a look..."

After thinking about it, he said to Silian,
"You might as well send your money to Bashu in advance. Dad has a very reliable friend there. He was also a Jinyiwei in his early years. He only broke four fingers on the back, so he went back to his hometown to start a grain business. Now the business in Shuzhong is doing well. People Calling Wang Liuzhi, father has been dealing with him in secret all these years, never showing it to others, so not many people know his relationship with our family..."

Si Lian nodded and said,
"It's father-in-law's friend, so it's very credible!"

Mu Biao nodded,

"We entrust this person with our money and ask him to find a safe hiding place for us. If things really change, we will leave Beijing and go to Shuzhong first, and hide for a few years before we plan our funeral!"

"it is good!"

So Silian's 10 taels of silver were secretly sent to Sichuan...

Mou Biao arranged Silian's affairs properly, and then devoted himself to official duties. He said that Jin Yiwei is really capable, and he really can't find out who he wants to find out. The old man Wang Wanting has been dug out by them for many years. Not long ago, this Lord Wang participated in the death of Emperor Jing when he first entered the court as an official.

Speaking of Emperor Jing, there are quite a few people in the capital who can talk about him. It is strange how this Emperor Daizong came to power when he was in danger, and how he treated his elder brother who had returned from the calamity so harshly. Then he was put under house arrest and finally died. , descendants have rumored that he was murdered after being placed under house arrest by Yingzong, but no one dared to say it when Yingzong was in power, and only after Yingzong's death was rumored.

Although this matter has changed over time, not many people care about it anymore, but now the emperor cares. Emperor Hongzhi wanted to deal with Wang Wanting and severely injured the prince. If Jin Yiwei really found the evidence, then Wang Wanting would be punished by Emperor Hongzhi who turned over the old account. Get off the horse!
Although Emperor Jing was unkind to his own brother, he is still the emperor. Whoever was murdered by his courtiers, let alone Wang Wanting participated in the murder of him, even if he had something to do with it, Jin Yiwei can find it for Emperor Hongzhi A high-sounding reason to punish him.

In the past few days, the Fusi yamen in Beizhen has been loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It looks calm on the outside, without the arrogance and arrogance of the previous period, and the evil deeds of arresting people all over the street, but inside they are interrogating prisoners in full swing. Look for evidence.

Mou Biao stayed at home for only one night and then went to the Yamen again, while the Liu family in Mou's mansion sent someone to come,
"The madam said that the marriage of the fourth young lady in the mansion has already been decided. She is a cousin of the second aunt's natal family, and she has already won a prize..."

Silian nodded after listening,

"She's a cousin of the second aunt's natal family, and she's also a juror. I think it's pretty good!"

Because Guan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, it's difficult to move, and she has some fetal gas recently, so she can only stay in bed indoors to protect the pregnancy, so Liu called Si Lian back to help, Si Lian naturally had to obey her orders, so Instruct Wang Mama and others in front of the messenger,

"Pack up your things, we'll go back home tomorrow..."

The mother-in-law who reported the letter said,
"Madam Eighth Young Master, our wife said that things in the house are a little urgent, so I want you to go back today!"

Si Lian was a little strange when she heard the words,

"In such a hurry?"

The mother-in-law nodded,

"It's true that I'm in a bit of a hurry, but I don't know how to rush it. Madam only said that Madam Eighth Young Master is asking Madam Bashao to go back to the mansion to elaborate..."

Si Lian nodded upon hearing this,

"That's the case...then I'll go back to the mansion first..."

So after discussing with Mama Wang, she took Mama Wang, Cuixi, and Cuiqiao to go first, leaving Hongtao, Hongyu, and Liu Xing to pack up their things and return tomorrow. Silian returned to the mansion that day. Si Lian went to see Mrs. Liu first, and Liu looked at her with a smile and said,
"Your complexion is rosy, and your body is in good condition!"

Silian smiled and went over to salute again,
"How is mother-in-law?"

"it is good!"

Mrs. Liu nodded and beckoned her to sit down.
"Don't blame me for calling you back in a hurry, but your fourth sister's marriage has been decided in a hurry, and you are going to get married in a hurry, and your second sister-in-law is pregnant again, so I can only call you back to help!"

"Oh...why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Dao,
"Originally, after the two of them saw each other, they were very satisfied. We initially set the wedding date on the day of autumn, but the old man over there suddenly left... In order not to delay their marriage, we prepared to have a wedding." Hot filial piety and marriage!"

Si Lian suddenly heard the words,

"I see……"

She stayed at Mrs. Liu's place for two hours, and had a good discussion with Mrs. Liu. Fortunately, the Mou family is already very proficient in handling marriages. In addition, this time's enthusiasm for filial marriage makes it even simpler, so she arranged for Mr. Liu. The young lady's marriage is not difficult, and Mrs. Liu still entrusted her with the errands of shopping and cooking.
