let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 26 Seeing "A Li" Again

In the story told by Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yuer, Liang Pingan learned the "truth" of that night.

"I was arrested by the Huai'an county government and was ordered to find a missing scholar. I found it in the mountains and forests. Then, the two came to the earth temple and found that the temple stone had been destroyed."

"Fortunately, I saw Brother Liang in the temple. He was testing his breath and he was alive! Let's save him!"

Liang Pingan thought for a moment in his heart.

The one who really saved me should be the Taoist senior. Fortunately, I have served him comfortably on the road, otherwise, this little life would have been lost.

However, this Jiang Erlang brought himself out of the earth temple, and he also invited people from Wujiazhuang to treat him on the way, which can be regarded as a life-saving kindness.

"Thank you both for saving your life!" Liang Pingan thanked Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yu'er.

Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yu'er accepted this kindness together.

Then, a group of people entered the county seat.

As soon as he entered the county seat, Jiang Chaoge found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city.

It seems that everyone is watching them?

The guards at the city gate, the vendors on the street, including the guys in the restaurant... Looking at their group, it was as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Am I exposed?"

Jiang Chaoge thought to himself, but quickly denied this idea.

It shouldn't be possible, even Bai Wuchang has discovered my identity, how can these mortals find out?
Just as he was thinking, he saw a servant-like servant running over.

"Master, Master!!! You...you are not dead?!"

"Nonsense, my young master has a great ability to subdue demons and demons, how could he be hurt by that little ghost in Xiaoshan Village?" Liang Pingan immediately raised his head.

"But Miss Wan'er said...that the ghost is so vicious that even Ji Ruxue can't deal with it?"

"How about my mother?" Liang Pingan didn't explain anymore.

"Ah, young master, follow me back to the mansion!" The servant seemed to have remembered something: "Now there is a mourning hall in the mansion, and the young one came out to buy it. I happened to see the young master. Fortunately, the young master is fine, but now everyone I thought you were dead, Madam cried so much that she was about to hang herself!"

"My mother is going to hang herself?" Liang Ping'an was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Jiang Erlang and the others: "I have something to do at home, so I will take my leave first. After two days, I will invite everyone to gather again!"

"Brother Liang, please go ahead!"

"Master Liang, go back quickly!"

"..."

Liang Ping'an was taken away by the servant.

Liu Hongyi and others invited Jiang Yu'er to stay together, hoping to have more exchanges before the provincial examination.

Jiang Yu'er could only smile wryly: "To tell you the truth, this time I was in trouble in the mountains and lost all my money. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in an inn."

"Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?" Liu Hongyi patted his chest: "Brother Jiang can be embarrassed by such trivial matters? Brother Jiang, don't worry, I will pay for the hotel and meals!"

"I heard that there is an oiran lady in Cuiwei Tower, who was taught by the great Confucian 'Fang Xiaojing'. If Brother Jiang is interested, I will pay for the evening wine!" For some reason, Mr. Zhang also showed a generous side at this time.

"I... I don't have much money on me, but if brother Jiang needs it, 20 taels... is not a big problem." Xu Zhi also spoke.

Jiang Yu'er smiled: "Thank you three brothers!"

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome!" The three of them cupped their hands together.

Therefore, Jiang Yu'er reluctantly accepted the kindness of the three of them, and went to find the inn together.

In this way, only Erlang is left.

Jiang Chaoge knew that Erlang was the head arrester of the county government office and had a public job. Now that he had completed the case of the scholar's disappearance, he naturally had to go to the county government office to close the case as soon as possible.

"When we arrive in Huai'an County, Erlang's identity is the key." Jiang Chaoge knows the difference between an official and a commoner in this world: "With Erlang's skin, this Huai'an County should be able to run amok!"

Jiang Chaoge walked towards the county government office.

According to Erlang's memory, the county government daughter's name is Zhou Jiao'er, and she is pretty, with fair skin and a thin waist, and she is also good at tea art.

As for his cheap old father-in-law 'Zhou Yong', his ability is very average, but he is still good to him.

"By the way, I also have a mother-in-law... seems to be giving birth soon?" Jiang Chaoge remembered one thing, his county magistrate had two wives.

Not long after her predecessor gave birth to Zhou Jiaoer, she passed away.

So Zhou Yong married another woman, who was only three years older than Zhou Jiao'er, but she had been pregnant for nine months and was about to give birth.

thinking about...

Then he arrived at the gate of the county government.

At the door, the two gatekeepers immediately widened their eyes with horror.

"Jiang...Jiang catches the head?!"

"You, you didn't... you didn't die?"

Jiang Chaoge was not surprised when he saw the scene of Liang Ping'an and Liang Fu's boy meeting at the gate of the city, after all, the original Jiang Erlang was really dead.

"No, I just lost my way on the mountain, but luckily I found the missing scholar, is the magistrate in the hall?"

"The county magistrate of Zhou... he... lost 30 taels of disaster relief money, and was... arrested!"

"what?"

Jiang Chaoge was startled.

My cheap old father-in-law... just cut it off like this?

I haven't played tricks yet?
Jiang Chaoge calmed down, he just lost the disaster relief money, if he can get it back, maybe there is still a chance to turn around, it's not just about being greedy.

Thinking of this, he asked again.

"Where is Miss?"

"Miss, she...she..."

"what happened again?"

"Boss Jiang listened, but you must calm down, Miss, she fell into the river!" After the two yamen servants glanced at each other, one yamen servant replied.

"I……"

Jiang Chaoge almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Fortunately, he is a ghost and has no blood!

What kind of plot is this unfolding?It's fine if the cheap father-in-law is arrested, but my cheap wife... fell into the river before even touching her?

Then what is the use of this skin if he wants it?
"What's going on? Why did miss fall into the river? It's just that I lost the money for disaster relief, so I wouldn't commit suicide by jumping into the river, right?" Jiang Chaoge forcibly resisted the urge to shed his skin, and asked again.

"Actually, Miss originally wanted to take someone to fish for the lost silver in the river, but for some reason... After Miss arrived at the river, she was directly swept in by the river."

After a yamen servant finished speaking, he looked around again, and continued: "Listen... I heard from the people by the river at that time that the young lady was probably captured by the river god!"

"River God?"

Jiang Chaoge frowned.

If it was before, he would not have believed it when he heard such absurd words, but since he has seen the land and Bai Wuchang, then this river god really exists in all likelihood.

"Where is Madam? Miss fell into the river...how is Madam now?" Jiang Chaoge looked at the two yamen servants, this big blow, can the lady who is about to give birth bear it?
"Ma'am, she accidentally fell to the ground last night, and had a dystocia at night... she died of dystocia, leaving only a baby girl."

"..."

Is there anything worse than this?

The county magistrate's family, who were originally very prosperous, lost 30 taels of disaster relief money. As a result, their daughter jumped into the river overnight and his wife had dystocia.

Jiang Chaoge wanted to cry but had no tears, it was too difficult for him.

"Take me to see the baby girl."

Now he can only do his best, obey the destiny, and find a family to raise the baby girl.

However, this world has always favored sons over daughters. Naturally, there is no problem if it is a boy baby, but a girl baby... It is estimated that most people will not want it.

Only in the mountains and forests, the kind of widows and widows who have no support in old age and have no children in their lives may accept it.

While Jiang Chaoge was thinking, he followed a yamen servant to the inner hall of the yamen, and the four policemen who were on duty at the county yamen ran out one after another when they heard that he had returned.

"Jiangtouer, are you alive?"

"Jiangtouer, where are Xiao Wu and Anan...they haven't come back yet?"

"They are dead!"

"..."

The four catchers kept their mouths shut, but when they saw Jiang Chaoge going straight to the door of the inner hall, a tall and thin catcher grabbed Jiang Chaoge.

"Jiangtouer, wait before you go in."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chaoge turned around and asked.

"You may not know that it is not easy for the county magistrate to offend people this week... The boss should understand what I mean. Now that the lady has fallen into the river and the wife has died of dystocia, you are good to my buddies on weekdays. Dare to tell you...you'd better not touch this baby girl, and that baby girl looks extremely weird, even the mother-in-law who gave birth said that this baby girl is probably...a monster."

"monster?"

Of course Jiang Chaoge understood the meaning of the tall and thin policeman.

But he had never seen a monster before!
He looked at the inner hall. The decoration inside was fairly classic, but there were no maidservants, only a wide wooden bed.

A baby girl wrapped in a quilt on the bed, with her eyes closed tightly, put a finger into her small mouth, sucking continuously, as if she was gradually falling asleep in hunger.

But what Jiang Chaoge was looking at at this time was not the baby girl's mouth, but the baby girl's face.

On the baby girl's face, there is a very conspicuous snake-shaped birthmark, which is red and very agile, exactly the same as the one on Ah Li's face.

"Boss, let me tell you, this baby girl is really a monster!" The tall and thin policeman walked in quickly: "We all suspect that this baby girl is a snake demon, and she is the one who claimed the lives of Miss and Madam!"
