I become a god in another world

Chapter 142

Zhuang Laoqi was a bit stubborn at first, but now he knows how to be afraid after suffering.

But Zhao Fusheng wanted to show off to him, and instead of asking him any more questions, he turned to look at Gou Si:

"You mean that Zhuang Laoqi has two relatives who married into Kuai Liang Village?"

Gou Si was frightened now.

Originally, he was having a fight with his cousin, which caused a big stir. Unexpectedly, he was involved in a ghost case and alerted the big shots of the Demon Suppression Department.

At this time, he was feeling annoyed that he shouldn't have caused trouble. He saw Zhuang Laoqi beside him, who was beaten and unable to stand up. He was frightened and did not dare to delay when answering questions. As soon as he heard Zhao Fusheng's questions, he nodded continuously.

"Yes."

He swallowed nervously and said:

"Zhuang Lao Qi - I mean my old cousin, the seventh in the family, my uncle -"

When Gou Si mentioned these relatives, he was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would be impatient. When he mentioned this, he looked up at Zhao Fusheng nervously.

"It's okay. Speak slowly and explain the relationship clearly." Zhao Fusheng said expressionlessly.

While speaking, her mind was racing with thoughts: Zhuang Laoqi was hiding something, and this matter was related to someone coming from Kuai Liang Village to ask for help.

When his cousin Gou Si mentioned the relationship between Zhuangjia Village and Kuailiang Village, he was secretive and didn't want his cousin to say more. Obviously the problem was the marriage between the two villages.

Since we want to start with the marriage, it is natural to clarify the relationship between the two.

Her words made the anxious Gou Si feel relieved and said:

"My mother and Zhuang Laoqi's mother are cousins, and my father and Zhuang Laoqi's mother are biological brothers and sisters." Since the elders of both parties are still there and the fifth server has not been released, the two families also visit each other on weekdays. It is relatively clear.

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Gou Laosi felt a little relieved and continued:

"Zhuangjia Village is not far from Kuailiang Village, only separated by a river."

"To the river?" Following his words, Zhao Fusheng roughly sketched a clue map between the two villages in his mind.

"It is a branch of the Shangjia River. The river branches from Baozhi County and flows into our Wan'an County. It was a river channel dug by Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Industry seventy years ago to prevent flooding."

Magistrate Pang listened quietly and saw that Zhao Fusheng had questions, so he quickly explained.

Gou Laosi nodded:

"This river is not small. The two villages are opposite each other across the river. They are close to each other, so they often have contact. In addition to trading goods, they also have mutual relations."

Zhuang Laoqi's cousin married into Kuai Liang Village that year.

"This cousin is the daughter of my old cousin. She is married to the village elder of Kuai Liang Village. The village elder is in the Liu profession and is known as Liu Shu."

When Gou Laosi said this, he looked at Zhuang Laoqi in confusion.

"Uncle Kuai Liu is an upright and fair man. He is very prestigious in the village and everyone trusts him."

In fact, after Zhuang Laoqi's cousin married into Kuai Liang Village, the relationship between the two villages became closer and they moved around more frequently.

Zhuang Laoqi's clan is not a big family in Zhuangjia Village, but with this marriage relationship, the village chief of Zhuangjia Village attaches great importance to their clan.

As the two were cousins, Gou Laosi could naturally see that Zhuang Laoqi did not want him to mention this marriage, and he felt extremely confused.

In fact, when relatives used to go around, people in the village were very proud of Uncle Six in Kuai Liang Village.

When the younger generation is walking outside, they often tell people: My aunt married the sixth uncle from Kuai Liang Village.

From this point of view, this marriage must be kept secret, so why can't it be mentioned now?

His question was also Zhao Fusheng's question.

She was keenly aware that there must be a problem with the marriage between the two villages.

What makes the villagers avoid it so much that they are even ashamed to mention it should be what happened to the banker's daughter, so the banker family considers it a shame - if the other party is at fault, the banker family should be angry about it, not Zhuang Laoqi showed a squeaky expression.

And this kind of mistake should be related to the reputation of a woman's chastity.

Zhuang Laoqi's cousin was married to Kuai Liang Village more than 20 years ago, and she must be quite old now.

If there was really unrest and a scandal occurred, the problem would not have erupted until now.

When Gou Laosi mentioned the marriage between the Zhuang and Kuai families, he also mentioned a marriage——

Zhao Fusheng thought of this and asked Gou Laosi:

"Tell me about his cousin."

When asking, her eyes fell on Zhuang Laoqi.

When she asked about 'cousin', Zhuang Laoqi's expression changed obviously.

When he first heard Gou Laosi mention his cousin, he tried to keep calm, but now when he said 'cousin', he subconsciously wanted to get up.

But he had just passed the board, and the back of his thigh was beaten to pieces. As soon as he moved, cold sweat flowed out. His face turned pale from the pain, and his whole body was shaking.

"……Yes."

Gou Laosi also noticed that Lao Biao's aura changed obviously when he mentioned 'cousin'.

Although he was born in a rural area, he was not a fool. He could not tell that the matter was related to his cousin Zhuang Laoqi.

But by this time, Gou Si was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

With his keen intuition, he realized that Zhao Fusheng had realized that there was something wrong with his cousin, because when she mentioned 'cousin', her eyes were so sharp that he could not avoid it.

This adult is really terrible!

Gou Laosi sighed in his heart.

Zhuang Laoqi was still paralyzed next to him after being beaten. He could even smell the bloody smell on the old cousin's body.

Zhao Fusheng also said that when it comes to ghost cases, she would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. If she had to speak harshly, the end would be the same as Zhuang Laoqi, no, it might even be much worse than him.

He wavered and said quickly:

"This cousin of Zhuang Laoqi was the fourth of the line at home, and she was known as the Fourth Lady of Zhuang back then."

Having said this, he looked back at Zhuang Laoqi, who nodded helplessly.

"When Mrs. Zhuang Si was not married, she was quite famous in Zhuangjia Village." She was beautiful and gentle in temperament, and while she was still at home, her reputation for hard work spread far and wide. As soon as she had hair extensions, many people were eyeing her. she.

The matchmakers who went to Zhuangjia Village every day to inquire about the news would trample on Uncle Zhuang's seventh uncle's door. In the end, Mrs. Zhuang married into Kuailiang Village through the recommendation of Zhuang Kuai who had married to Kuailiang Village a long time ago.

"Who from Kuai Liang Village did she marry?"

Zhuang Lao Qi's unspeakable secret may lie in this cousin who married outside. Naturally, Zhao Fusheng couldn't miss this clue. She looked at Gou Laosi and Zhuang Lao Qi and asked.

Gou Laosi said:

"I don't know what the name is, I just know that it is performed at home."

"Kuai Wu?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Gou Si nodded, and when he mentioned Kuai Wu, a look of disdain appeared on his face: "You can also call him that."

Zhao Fusheng witnessed the change in Gou Si's expression and thought to himself: Two generations of the banker's daughters of different ages married into Kuai Liang Village, but Gou Si had a completely different attitude when he mentioned the husbands of the two daughters.

When he mentioned Uncle Kuai Liu, his tone and demeanor were obviously much more respectful, and he obviously admired Uncle Kuai Liu very much;

But when he mentioned Kuai Wu, whom Mrs. Zhuang Si married, he couldn't hide his contempt.

"What kind of person is this Kuai Wu?" Zhao Fusheng asked following Gou Si's words. "This Kuai Wu——"

He curled his lips, as if he wanted to laugh contemptuously, but as soon as he said it, he realized that he was not chatting with people in the countryside, but was being interrogated in the county government office.

All the big shots were present.

Gou Si suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He quickly put his knees together and stood up, not daring to be careless again.

"This Kuai Wu is a well-known lazy guy in our Wuli Dian Village."

He sighed:

"Kuailiang Village is backed by mountains. The villagers there are all from the same clan and are very close. They stick together and help each other. Sometimes they go out to work, and they all respond to each other."

Everyone makes a living by farming on weekdays, and occasionally goes to the market to sell some agricultural products to support the family.

During the off-season, there is nothing to do, so many men go to the mountains to collect treasures, chop firewood and burn charcoal. There is no time for leisure, otherwise how will the whole family eat it?

"When doing these things, everyone in their village works in groups, but Kuai Lao is the only one who does nothing, and his reputation has already spread."

"Then how does his family make a living?" Zhao Fusheng asked a little strangely.

"What do you live on? You live on Mrs. Zhuang Si——" Gou Si finished speaking smoothly and immediately realized what the problem was.

He looked troubled and secretly glanced at the dejected Zhuang Laoqi.

Zhuang Laoqi looked resigned, smiled bitterly, and said:

"This cousin of mine is very capable, hiss - she is no worse at work than men. She can do anything in the fields and carry loads. Kuai Laowu can't do it. Hiss - hiss - she can do it, and she can barely do it at home. Life is hand-to-mouth, hiss - I live very poor. I heard my mother say that she often goes back to her parents' house to borrow rice - "

After Zhuang Laoqi was beaten, the wounds on his body must have been very painful, and he gasped while talking.

But this did not affect his narration. After Zhao Fusheng listened, he roughly understood the whole story.

In Zhuangjia Village, two women of different ages married into Kuailiang Village, but earlier, Zhuang Laoqi's cousin married the respected sixth uncle of Kuailiang Village.

After the cousin established a foothold, she introduced the matchmaker and introduced Zhuang Laoqi's cousin, Mrs. Zhuang Si, to marry into Kuai Liang Village as well.

The Fourth Lady Zhuang had a virtuous reputation before marriage, and was hard-working, beautiful and docile. In contrast, her husband Kuai Wu was just a lazy man that even the fourth son could not look down upon. The family's life was almost supported by the Fourth Lady Zhuang. She also He often went home to borrow rice and grain, but was ridiculed by his parents.

Taking into account these circumstances, Zhao Fusheng asked:

"According to what you said, the relationship between Madam Zhuang Si and Kuai Wu should be very bad?"

"How can that be done?"

When Gou Si heard this, he shook his head.

Zhao Fusheng was stunned:

"How can we still have a harmonious relationship with my husband like this?"

Zhuang Laoqi was dejected and said nothing.

Gou Si had a look of surprise and uneasiness on his face. He seemed confused by Zhao Fusheng's words, but he did not dare to refute loudly due to her identity, so he could only say:

"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Kuai Wu is a bit lazy, but every couple lives like this. There are always some who are diligent and others who are lazy——"

"..."

Zhao Fusheng disagreed with his point of view and went to see Zhuang Laoqi again:

"What do you mean, cousin, that Kuai Wu and your cousin have a harmonious relationship?"

"Originally, there was harmony——"

Zhuang Laoqi's eyes flickered.

"What does original harmony mean?" Seeing that he was hesitating again, Zhao Fusheng sneered:

"Speak clearly to me. If you don't behave honestly, I'll beat your ass to pieces!"

Zhuang Laoqi was immediately frightened.

"Sir, spare my life." He shouted, and then said:

"My cousin and Kuai Wu have been married for more than eight years. Although there are times of quarrels and quarrels, as my old cousin said, which couple doesn't live like this?"

"You have been married for many years. Do you have any children?"

The root of the matter should lie with the Fourth Lady Zhuang. Zhuang Lao Qi obviously had something to hide, and there needed to be an opportunity for him to speak out.

Zhao Fusheng simply asked questions about the life of the fourth lady Zhuang.

As soon as she finished asking this question, Zhuang Laoqi nodded:

"Yes, I gave birth to a daughter named Manzhou." After saying that, he added: "Kuai Manzhou?"

"Kuai Manzhou?" Zhao Fusheng frowned upon hearing this.

Just from Zhuang Laoqi's words, she felt that there was something wrong with the couple.

At this time, people's entertainment life is dull, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The few years after marriage between couples are the time of tenderness and affection. Most couples are most likely to get pregnant almost a few years before marriage.

It was unusual for Mrs. Zhuang Si and his wife to have an only daughter after eight years of marriage.

Either the relationship between the couple was estranged, so they rarely had any affection after giving birth to a daughter, or they could not afford to raise her after she became pregnant and gave the baby away.

"How old are you?" she asked again.

"Seven years old." Zhuang Laoqi replied honestly.

"Ms. Zhuang Si only gave birth to a daughter. Did she suffer any ostracism in Kuai Liang Village?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

"No."

Zhuang Laoqi shook his head quickly. Seeing that Zhao Fusheng looked a little suspicious, he added:

"Really not. Kuai Wu may be dissatisfied, but his brother is at home and he doesn't dare to do anything."

There was a lot of information in his words.

In other words, Madam Zhuang Si only gave birth to one daughter, and Kuai Wu was a little dissatisfied. However, Kuai Liang Village was a clan system, and other people in the village suppressed him, so he did not dare to do anything.

"Do the people in Kuai Liang Village protect Madam Zhuang Si?"

"Very protective." Zhuang Laoqi nodded:

"My cousin, Uncle Kuai Liu, felt sorry for my cousin's hard work and was worried that the couple could not afford the taxes, so he often provided money to help. Most of their family's taxes were collected by the villagers."

"Sometimes the harvest is not good and there is no food to eat, so Third Brother Kuai helps. In addition to farming, he also helps people kill pigs. Sometimes he pays for some meat offcuts and gives some to my cousin's family as a tooth sacrifice."

From Zhuang Lao's seven words, Zhao Fusheng could tell that Kuai Liang Village does have a close clan concept and helps each other.

She nodded, then changed the topic and asked:

"Then you started talking about eight days ago. Why did the people from Kuailiang Village come to Zhuangjia Village for help? What happened in Kuailiang Village?"

After asking, he was afraid that Zhuang Laoqi would be dishonest, so he warned him:

"I only give you one chance. Tell me honestly. Think carefully before you speak. If you dare to hide anything -" As she spoke, her sleeves flicked, and a brown withered arm slipped out of her sleeves.

Zhao Fusheng grabbed the ghost arm and knocked it a few times, and the ghost arm revived instantly.

But it was badly damaged, and after a few moves, it was unable to hold on to anything.

But even so, it was enough to frighten other people in the hall.

When Zhuang Laoqi saw that this rotten severed arm could still move, he was so frightened that his scalp was numb. If his leg hadn't been injured and couldn't move, he would have been running around howling like a ghost.

"I said, I said, I said everything. Kuai Mancai came to the village chief and said that my cousin was dead."

In fact, Zhao Fusheng had expected such an answer.

It is impossible for ghost fog to appear out of thin air in Zhuangjia Village and Kuailiang Village. There must be a reason beforehand, which caused the ghost to resurrect.

The appearance of this ghost realm is related to the person who reported the news in Kuai Liang Village - this kind of law is similar to that when a murder occurs, the person who reported the crime is most likely to be the first suspect. The two have the same effect. .
