Chapter 232 The Death of Zhong Xiuling

Chapter 232 The Death of Zhong Xiuling

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, it is a small year for the folks. Although there is a heavy snowstorm this year, most people with conditions still buy delicious food and set off firecrackers.

In the evening, the weather was cold, and the strong wind was blowing the snow foam.

Wang Han was the most anxious, seeing that the people sent by the emperor were about to arrive, but Wei Congxi didn't even show his face for a few days, and the person sent to ask for news came back and said that Wei Congxi's cheap wife was ill.

Wang Han sneered, these are all excuses, who doesn't know that Miss Shi Jiasan and Wei Congxi are at odds, if it weren't for the emperor's bestowal of marriage, Wei Congxi would have killed her long ago, and now they are pretending to be a couple Deep affection?
Wang Han couldn't figure out why Wei Congxi avoided him, did he have other partners?
The more Wang Han thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He called the dark guard and asked the dark guard to go to Wei's house to find out what Wei Congxi was doing these days.

It's just that what happened on this day was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhong Xiuling's home.

Widow Zhang made dumplings. At dinner, Widow Zhang, her son Qiusheng and Lao Zhong sat together to eat dumplings, enjoying themselves like a family.

Zhong Xiuling and Li Shi simply ate a bowl of noodles in the room.

Zhong Xiuling gritted her teeth: "Mother, don't worry, I'll come back to pick you up when I'm promising."

"You're doing well, so mother can rest assured." Li Shi patted Zhong Xiuling's hand and said with relief.

Although the mother and daughter didn't eat dumplings, they were not in a bad mood.

After all, Zhong Xiuling decided that she would leave for Lanjing after the Chinese New Year. She was full of yearning for the future.

At night, everyone in the yard fell asleep. Lao Zhong and Widow Zhang fell asleep after tossing and tossing for a long time, but Qiusheng who lived next door to them couldn't fall asleep.

He is not young this year, his mother has already booked a marriage for him, but the woman's appearance is really not flattering.

Ever since he met Zhong Xiuling, Qiusheng liked her. He mentioned it to Widow Zhang a few times, but Widow Zhang scolded her back.

Qiu Sheng was very depressed.

After moving to Zhong's house, Lao Zhong and Widow Zhang were tossing and tossing. Qiu Sheng could hear it very clearly. How can he bear it at his young age?
Today, he drank wine and listened to the wall in the middle of the night, and the evil fire was already strong.

He got up and put on his clothes, went under Zhong Xiuling's window, poked a hole in the window with his hand, and peeked in secretly.

Because Zhong Xiuling was going to Lanjing, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, she finally fell asleep, and when she was about to sleep, she heard footsteps outside the door.

She stared at the window, and sure enough, she saw someone poking a hole to peep at her. This person knew it was Widow Zhang's son without asking.

Furious, she sat up.

Qiu Sheng didn't expect her to wake up. He was worried that Zhong Xiuling would speak out, so he ran into Zhong Xiuling's room in a hurry. Zhong Xiuling was about to go out when she saw Qiu Sheng come in. It was resistance, the harder Qiu Sheng tried, and soon Zhong Xiuling stopped moving.

When Qiu Sheng touched it, Zhong Xiuling was out of breath. He fell to the ground in fright, his mind went blank, seeing Zhong Xiuling lying on the bed out of breath, he stood up in a hurry and ran away in a hurry.

Li's sleep was very light, and when she heard that there seemed to be movement from Zhong Xiuling, she struggled to get up, and saw someone running out of Zhong Xiuling's room, and then ran to the main room.

Mrs. Li knew it was Qiu Sheng, so he went to Xiu Ling's room so late...

Li Shi didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and hurried to Zhong Xiuling's room. Zhong Xiuling's clothes were still intact, but she was lying there motionless.

Li's heart sank, and she ran over in a hurry, only to find that Zhong Xiuling was dead...

Li's sky collapsed, and she lost all reason and hope to live.

She sat beside Zhong Xiuling's body for a long time, dressed her, smiled and put on Zhong Xiuling's clothes, combed her hair, walked out of the room, and locked the door of Lao Zhong and Qiu Sheng directly from the outside, even the door, and then She went to the kitchen, piled all the firewood at the door, and poured all the oil left in the kitchen at the door.

Both Lao Zhong and Widow Zhang drank wine, and after tossing and tossing for half the night, they were too tired to sleep, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

And Qiusheng was always terrified and remorseful because of the murder, and he didn't find anything unusual.

After the fire was lit, several people woke up.

Old Zhong didn't care to wear his clothes and ran outside, but found that the door was locked, and the flames outside the door instantly ignited...

"Mr. Li, you bitch, let me go out." Old Zhong saw Li Shi sitting on the stone platform in the yard staring at him through the crack of the door.

She looked like a hungry ghost, with disheveled hair, and a pair of eyes staring at them with resentment, that look made Lao Zhong shudder.

"Zhong Qing, you are not as good as pigs and dogs!" Li Shi said quietly.

Old Zhong saw what the hungry ghost-like Li was stroking. He turned his head and saw clearly that it was Zhong Xiuling who was in Li's arms. Zhong Xiuling's eyes were closed and she was motionless.

Although Old Zhong didn't know what happened, he knew that Zhong Xiuling might be dead.

Zhong Xiuling's face flashed in front of his eyes, the little doll who was like a jade carving when he was a child, grabbed his sleeve and called him daddy sweetly.

"Xiao Ling!" Old Zhong muttered.

Li looked up and stared at the room coldly: "Your good son killed my daughter, so you all have to be buried with him."

Old Zhong was taken aback.

Good son?He has no son!

Since he thought of Qiusheng, Widow Zhang's son, Li Shi was mocking him for treating Qiusheng as his son.

And Widow Zhang is not a good person, although she was afraid, she still yelled: "Mr. Li, you old cousin, you dare to slander my son! Open the door for me, or I won't let you go."

"Zhang Xiaohua, you know what you have done. You, your concubine, and your son will all die!"

Mrs. Li laughed while talking: "Xiao Ling, look, the people who make us feel uncomfortable will come to accompany us today, and they won't be lonely on Huangquan Road."

Mrs. Li was already insane.

Thick smoke gradually entered the house, Widow Zhang and Lian Lian coughed, and then they heard Qiu Sheng howling like a pig being slaughtered.

Mrs. Li set fire to Qiusheng's house first, so that Lao Zhong and Widow Zhang could watch Qiusheng die before he died.

"Let me out..." Widow Zhang yelled desperately, thick smoke poured into her throat, and soon she couldn't speak a word.

Old Zhong picked up a chair and threw it at the door. The door was quickly smashed open. He ran out, but just as he stepped out of the house, he realized that the fire started at the door. A gust of cold wind blew by. Then he rolled over, and Lao Zhong couldn't dodge in time, and soon let out a mournful cry.

His cry is especially clear in the silence of the night.

When Li heard this, she raised her head to look at him, then lowered her head. She gently stroked Zhong Xiuling's face, humming a song that Zhong Xiuling used to hum when she was a child.
