Chapter 103 The Ugly Slave (12)

Xin Fuzhen glanced at us, and said helplessly: "You must think that I am blaming them for them? If you don't believe me, you can ask the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple."

"But, you didn't say it yourself, were they the ones who went in to pick up your father?" Ji Youjie and I were confused by these people, how could they change every time, more fickle than Mayday.

"At that time, it was not Uncle Qian and Mama Yu who accompanied my father and I to Yunmen Temple, but someone else." Xin Fuzhen looked reluctant, as if she didn't want to say, "But I don't want you to know about this person, so I just I lied to you and said it was them. That was the person who went in to pick up my father, and the abbot monk also saw it. I asked him to promise that if anyone asks about this, don’t name this person.”

"But why did you deliberately hide this person?"

Xin Fuzhen glanced at Mama Yu and Uncle Qian, and Uncle Qian sighed, "Since you can't hide it, tell the mayor."

Xin Fuzhen nodded, and said in a low voice: "That man is my unmarried husband-in-law. You must be very surprised that I can find a husband-in-law after I grow up like this, right?"

Ji Youjie and I were taken aback and hurriedly shook our heads in denial.Xin Fuzhen laughed at himself, "You don't have to shake your head, and you don't have to be jealous. Does a person's appearance matter? Of course it does. Even the weather can affect people's likes and dislikes. A clear sky makes people happy, and dark clouds make people feel happy." Obscurity, not to mention the appearance of a person, is helpless."

I heard her speak clearly, but I am impressed by this Miss Xin's family.

"The reason why I don't want to mention him is because he is an actor and he was recruited to Xin's family. I am afraid that speaking out will cause more gossip about him." Xin Fuzhen bowed his head.

It turned out that the actor who ran away before was Xin Fuzhen's husband-in-law.Both Ji Youjie and I suddenly realized, but why did he run away when he saw us?

"He was also involved in the knocking down of Mr. Xiao last night. He thought you were going to catch him, so he ran away after seeing you." Xin Fuzhen said, "It was indeed the Xin family who did it, and I wanted to be sure. Mishan Temple' matter. I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, we will accept any punishment, and later I... I will ask him to come to the town hall to surrender."

The Grass Stage troupe passed by here, so it was naturally the actor's first visit to the town.This kind of grass-roots team is extremely mobile, because it is not easy to make a living, and there are often all kinds of people in the class.When we were chasing him just now, the actor saw that we had captured Mama Yu, but he still ran away on his own. It can be seen that his character is not outstanding, so why did Xin Fuzhen get engaged to him.

Xin Fuzhen glanced at us, seemed to know what we were thinking, and quietly said: "Except for such a person, who else in the town is willing to marry me, let alone marrying Xin's family?"

We were all speechless, Xin Fuzhen smiled bitterly, and seemed to see through the world, "I also know that he is greedy for my family background, but so what? He is good-looking but has no money, and I have money but looks good." Not good-looking. Both of us got what we needed, neither cheated the other, and neither had to blame the other. That’s fine—I’m not good-looking, but I also want company.”

Since she can figure it out, naturally it's not our turn to say anything.Not only that, but I felt a little sad in my heart.But since it was the actor who went to pick up Xin Ruyi, the suspicion of Mama Yu and Uncle Qian naturally fell on him.

Besides, he was a son-in-law of Xin's family. If Xin Ruyi was still alive, his son-in-law would naturally not be able to do whatever he wanted. If Xin Ruyi was gone, his situation would be much better.So in contrast, he has more motives to kill.I said this to Xin Fuzhen and advised her to let the actor come to the town hall to surrender as soon as possible.

"My father didn't kill him." Xin Fuzhen still shook his head, but suddenly cried aloud, covering his face with his hands, but the tears still protruded from the tight encirclement, seeping from his fingers, "whether my father is alive or not , he can't even touch the Xin family's property, this is what we agreed a long time ago, I...we agreed."

If everything in the world can be done according to the agreement, then there won't be so many grievances and grievances.When I saw her like this, I naturally thought of it a long time ago. It turned out that she knew that the man was killed by an actor, but she deliberately protected him.Because as she said, apart from actors in the town, it is difficult for anyone in the town to be willing to join Xin's family.

"Actually, you have long thought that he killed people, didn't you?" I asked softly.She is at the age of the blooming season. Normally, she should have the affection of a girl, but because of her appearance, she must have lived alone since she was a child. The desire for companionship in her heart is beyond ordinary people.

It's just that this person was the murderer of her father, but she deliberately concealed it. Even if it is understandable, she cannot forgive it.She didn't become an ugly slave to desire because of her looks, but because of this action.Xin Fuzhen didn't answer, but silently cried more fiercely, her shoulders shaking violently.

Ji Youjie and I were a little bit emotional, the final truth of the matter was like this, which we never thought of before.But when things got here, there was something that I didn't understand, so I asked: "Since you want to protect him, why did you reject my proposal before, and not let this matter be closed because your father had an accident?"

Xin Fuzhen put down her hand, with tears on her face, she said blankly: "I...I don't think it should be like this..."

It turned out that she had been entangled in her heart. Although she wanted to protect the actor, she subconsciously felt that it shouldn't be so. That's why such contradictory behavior occurred.I gave a wry smile, since she didn't only think about herself, my dislike for her dropped a bit. A girl who just wants to be with her is not unforgivable.

Xin Fuzhen said just now that the actor should surrender himself, so he is at Xin's house right now.When the matter came to this point, Ji Youjie naturally stopped hesitating, and went out to find Xiangyong to go to Xin's house to arrest people, leaving me, Xin Fuzhen and others in the town hall.

We were speechless for a while, and Mama Yu and Uncle Qian also looked ashamed. They might feel that in order to exonerate them, Xin Fuzhen's fiancé-in-law was dragged into it. They felt guilty and looked at me with injustice, probably blaming me. We are busy.I was a little embarrassed, so I asked about the actor's entry into Xin's family.

Xin Fuzhen looked dull, not knowing what she was thinking, so it was Qian Bo who answered me.Xin Ruyi liked to listen to operas all his life, and he often said that there is nothing more lively than operas in the world, so when the grass-stage troupe arrived in the town, he invited him to his home. homely.

After a few words, the opera singer complained about the suffering, saying that the world has been difficult these years. Since the September [-]th Incident, the Northeast Army retreated into the pass, taxes in various places have increased, and the floods in the Jianghuai River have swept across the provinces, making people's livelihood difficult.The theatrical troupe was displaced, but food and clothing became more and more difficult, and the words revealed the idea of ​​wanting to have a place to live.

I don't know what Xin Ruyi was thinking, but after hearing what the actor said, he called Xin Fuzhen out on the spot and asked him if he would like to join Xin's family, even if he couldn't become rich and powerful, it would always be possible to protect him from food and clothing.The actor was overjoyed when he heard that, even though he saw Xin Fuzhen's appearance, he still agreed, probably because he was afraid of suffering all these years.

Since both parties were interested, the matter was settled soon. The actor wanted to ask Xin Ruyi to take in the troupe, but Xin Ruyi flatly refused, saying that when he and Xin Fuzhen got married, the troupe would have to leave immediately. Go, otherwise he will be kicked out of the Xin family.Qian Bo guessed that this was probably because Xin Ruyi was afraid that the troupe would stay in the town and it would be bad for Xin Fuzhen after his death.

Even so, it was too hasty to decide on Xin Fuzhen's marriage in this way.Both Qian Bo and Yu Ma are the elderly in the family, so it was inevitable that they would chat with him a few words, but Xin Ruyi said that he could not be with Xin Fuzhen for the rest of his life, and there must be someone to accompany her from now on.

At that time, Uncle Qian and Ma Yu were a little surprised when they heard this, because even if they wanted to find a companion for Xin Fuzhen, they didn't need to be so anxious. No matter what he said, they seemed to know that their life was not long.Both of them had this feeling, but they dared not say it out, for fear of touching Xin Ruyi's bad luck.

Unexpectedly, Xin Shouyi came not long after. He met Xin Fuzhen in Yunmen Temple and asked her to ask Xin Ruyi to meet him in Yunmen Temple.Xin Ruyi then told about what happened at Mount Sumeru Temple back then, saying that he had had trouble sleeping and eating all these years, and if he could die at the hands of Xin Shouyi, it would be the best relief, please Qian Bo and Yu Ma to take good care of Xin Fuzhen in the future, Don't let her be bullied.

At that time, the actor accompanied the Xin family father and daughter to Yunmen Temple, while Qian Bo and Yu Ma went to the theater troupe to discuss marriage with the troupe master.Because if Xin Ruyi passed away, Xin Fuzhen would soon have to get married, otherwise he would have to stay in filial piety for three years.What people didn't expect was that Xin Shouyi didn't make a move in the end, but Xin Ruyi still died.

When Qian Bo went to ask Xin Shouyi to leave, but Xin Shouyi categorically refused, they had doubts in their hearts, maybe it was not Xin Shouyi who killed him.And then when Xin Shouyi came to the door by himself to see what happened to Xin Ruyi's death, they affirmed this idea.

But firstly, it is not easy for Xin Fuzhen to get married, and Xin Ruyi chose the actor himself, and secondly, Xin Ruyi himself wanted to die. Although things went wrong at this moment, it can be regarded as Xin Ruyi's pursuit of benevolence and benevolence.So after discussing with Mama Yu, Qian Bo persuaded Xin Fuzhen not to reveal the matter, but to lead the matter to the track set by Xin Ruyi.

In this way, Xin Ruyi's wish of "returning" to the mustard seed can be fulfilled, and it also holds the actor's handle. If there are any changes in Xin Ruyi in the future, he can be used to control him.Because of Xin Ruyi's death, Xin Fuzhen listened to their words.

So this matter was actually not Xin Fuzhen's idea, but Qian Bo and Yu Ma's idea.When I heard this, I felt even more relieved. Although Xin Fuzhen agreed, the matter was not brought up by her after all, so it was barely excusable.But according to what Qian Bo said just now, Xin Ruyi seemed to have known that Xin Shou would come for a while, so he was anxious to make arrangements for Xin Fuzhen's future.

I asked Qian Bo about this, and Qian Bo also said: "We all have this feeling, but we don't know exactly what's going on."

I saw that I couldn't ask anything, so I gave up.Now that the truth has come to light, there is only one thing left to understand, which is what happened to the "Mount Sumeru Temple" I saw last night?

Now that everything has been disclosed, Mama Yu naturally no longer hides it.She told me that it was the actor's idea to let me see "Mount Sumeru Temple" after knocking me unconscious, and the purpose was to confirm the saying of "Mount Sumeru Temple".This matter is miraculous, but it is not worth mentioning. It is just like making a stage set, drawing the appearance of a temple on a few large wooden boards, and then propping it up with wooden sticks, so that it can be viewed from a distance. A monastery, but there is nothing behind the planks.

It's just that in the environment at that time, who would want to get these.I laughed bitterly when I heard it, but I admired it in my heart. This method is simple, but not everyone can think of it. One can imagine that the actor is also an extremely smart person.

Thinking of this, I feel a little bit rejoiced in my heart.If this matter had been concealed in the past, Xin Fuzhen would not be under his tight control in the future.Getting him out now can be regarded as doing Xin Fuzhen a favor, although she might not appreciate it.

I asked Mama Yu where those boards are now, Mama Yu glanced at me, and replied, "It's burned. When you and the mayor were chasing us just now, those were burned in the kitchen stove."

I was startled when I heard the words, and then I realized that it was no wonder that the actor ran away when he saw us, and perhaps he also had the intention of drawing us away so that the wood boards could be burned more thoroughly.Even if we catch him later, he can deny it flatly, so we have no direct evidence to prove that he was involved in this matter.

Although the town hall could use the context of the incident to determine that he was the murderer, but in the end no one saw him murder, so he still had some room for defense.Anyway, the matter finally came to an end, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me, so I came out of the town hall and prepared to go back to Ji's house to wait for Ji Youjie, and then I said goodbye and left.
