Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 329
Ye Qiongdan went to a silk and satin shop to buy some valuable silk and satin, and then went to a jade shop and a jewelry shop to buy some jade bracelets and some delicate jewelry.

Butler Zhou asked them to send all these things to Zhou's house, and the guys in the shop nodded.

After shopping, Ye Qiongdan no longer wanted to continue wandering in Guazhou, so he asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to Zhou's house.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhou's house, Ye Qiongdan heard the quarrel between Xu Mingzhu and Liu Xiu not far away.

"That's right, this is a game I set up, so what? This is a must-death move. She will die ten times, and it will be your turn after her death. Do you think I will let you go?" Liu Xiu Leng snorted, "Her death was caused by you and Ye Qiongdan. She hated you in life. After death, I will send you all to hell to eliminate her hatred!"

"Are you being unreasonable?" Xu Mingzhu was very angry, "She was the first to tarnish my reputation, and Qiongdan and I just fought back legitimately. Are we going to bear the dirty water she poured on us for nothing? Besides, Miss Chu Died at the hands of a killer, did we hire the killer? If you have evidence, go to the Yamen and let Master Qingtian come and find out!"

evidence?

Of course Liu Xiu didn't have any evidence against them. In fact, he hired those killers.

He didn't know if this matter was really related to Ye Qiongdan, because he and Chu Yingying's plan was very secret, and every time they made a plan, they would report their retirement.

But he subconsciously believed that Ye Qiongdan's death was directly caused by Chu Yingying.

"I don't need evidence, I just know it in my heart! Xu Mingzhu, you and I have been friends for many years. Since you want to help outsiders deal with me and Chu Yingying, then you are not my friend, but my enemy. , I will not be merciful to my enemies!" Liu Xiu said through gritted teeth.

"Really? You won't be soft?" Xu Mingzhu's eyes were full of disappointment, "I have misjudged you all these years! In this matter, Ye Qiongdan and I have been victims from the beginning, you have to stand in her position I have nothing to say about turning black and white. From now on, you and I will have no friendship! If you want to deal with Ye Qiongdan, you are dealing with me! If you want to put me to death, well, I will wait for your move!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to accept my offer, so you should hurry back and prepare for your funeral!" Liu Xiu's eyes were icy cold.

"Mr. Liu, if you insist on fighting against us again, then you will be the one to prepare for the funeral!" Ye Qiongdan jumped off the carriage, pulled Xu Mingzhu aside, and patted her on the shoulder lightly, saying goodbye Consolation, "I said, I am very confident in Mrs. Zhou's treatment, please stop having unnecessary delusions."

"I want to see how long you can hold on!" Liu Xiu clenched her fists.

"You'd better go back quickly, today is Miss Chu's first three, don't you want to send her to the graveyard?" Ye Qiongdan sighed, not wanting to talk to her any more.

"I will keep Yingying's body in the mourning hall until you are all dead, and then I will let her rest in peace."

Ye Qiongdan frowned, took Xu Mingzhu's arm and said, "Let's go in."

Xu Mingzhu followed Ye Qiongdan in, very angry.

She pursed her lips and looked back again: "This Liu Xiu is simply a lunatic!"

"Don't look, it's not worth being angry for this kind of person. We haven't done anything wrong. Do we need to be angry with him?" Ye Qiongdan said softly, "Today, Steward Zhou led me to buy a lot of good things in Guazhou. After those things are delivered to Zhou's house in a while, you can pick some and take them back first, as for the unfinished ones, I will take them back when I leave Zhou's house next time."

"It seems that your Zhou family is having a good time." Xu Mingzhu was very surprised, she thought she would be wronged in Zhou's house.

"That's natural," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "I've already said that I am very confident in Mrs. Zhou's treatment, but you and mother don't believe it."

"My mother is dying of anxiety. She kept talking about you in the middle of the night last night, and she knelt in front of the Buddha until dawn," Xu Mingzhu said with emotion. so long."

Of course, Mrs. Xu knelt in the Buddhist hall to pray, naturally hoping that Ye Qiongdan would be safe.

If Ye Qiongdan angered Mrs. Zhou, she would suffer disaster on the one hand, and the Xu family would also be implicated on the other.

"It's really embarrassing for my mother. It's my righteous daughter who is unfilial," Ye Qiongdan said distressedly, "Do you have anything else you like? I'll take it home to make her happy."

"Mother has no other hobbies in this life, that is, she likes some antique calligraphy and paintings," her eyes lit up when she said this, "By the way, Mother really likes jadeite! If you can bring her a piece of fine jadeite , she will definitely be happy for a long time! But top-level jadeite is hard to find, and you can't ask too much of you, just find her a bracelet with a good water head, the most important thing is your heart."

"Where do we go to pick the best jadeite?" Ye Qiongdan asked puzzled.

"I don't know about that," Xu Mingzhu shook her head, "I usually spend more time in the guardhouse and less with my mother, and I don't know where all the emeralds in my mother's collection come from. , it was probably given to her by others, right?"

Hearing this, Steward Zhou couldn't help but said, "Miss Ye, if you really want to find a good piece of jadeite, you might as well go to the rough stone market."

"Go to the rough stone market?" Ye Qiongdan was a little surprised.

"Yes, people often go to the rough stone market to gamble on stones. After cutting the stones there, in extremely rare cases, some top-level jadeites will be produced, so there will always be people squatting in the original stone market. If you get a good jadeite, you will ask the price, then buy that piece of jadeite, send it to another place for carving and polishing, and finally make it into various handicrafts and sell it at a high price."

"That's okay, I'll go to the rough stone market when I have time, and I hope I can get lucky." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

There are many old houses in the Zhou family, but the steward Zhou was afraid that they would get lost, so he sent them all the way to the guest house.

After Xu Mingzhu entered the house, she looked around, looked at Ye Qiongdan, and said in surprise: "The Zhou family treats you very well, Qiongdan, you are really good, you can enjoy yourself anywhere."

"By the way, is there something wrong with you coming here in such a hurry?" Ye Qiongdan sat down at the table and poured her a cup of tea.

"I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me," Xu Mingzhu sat across from Ye Qiongdan, took a sip of tea from her teacup, and hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper of your firecracker shop came to see me, saying that the shop was haunted last night!"

"It's haunted, what's going on?" Ye Qiongdan's eyes flashed a look of surprise, "Is it really haunted? Or is someone doing something malicious?"

"I heard what the shopkeeper said is very evil, it seems to be really haunted!" Xu Mingzhu licked her lips, her color was a little pale, and she said with lingering fear, "The shopkeeper said that last night, Xiaoqian first poured a basin of footwashing water to wash his feet. While washing, I suddenly felt a little itchy, looked down, and found that there was a layer of hair in the basin at some point, so scared that Xiaoqian yelled, and poured the basin of footwashing water outside the door."

"Does it really have strands of hair?"

"Isn't that right, the other guys living in the shop can testify," Xu Mingzhu felt a little cold even though it was a hot day, she rubbed her arms, and then said, "It's not just like that, last night, little Although Sun was in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of nails scratching the window edge. He looked up and saw the dead Xiao Zhao lying on the window, staring straight at him.

Xiao Sun was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and couldn't even cry out.

Then the dead Xiao Zhao slowly climbed down again and disappeared behind the window.

It took a while for Xiao Sun to make a sound, and he yelled, waking up everyone else.

Then Xiao Sun told others what she saw, and the others naturally didn't believe it, so they looked out of his window and saw a wet human mark on the way from his window to the well. , There are also some wet footprints, as if a wet person crawled out of a well.

The guys in the shop were too scared to fall asleep, so they opened their eyes until dawn. "

"There are two possibilities," Ye Qiongdan said after deliberation, "or someone deliberately did it to find the murderer behind the scenes. Naturally, non-murderers would not be overly afraid of Xiao Zhao, because they have a clear conscience. If they were murderers, they would naturally react in fright out of order."

"But the shopkeeper said that Xiao Zhao doesn't have many friends in the firecracker shop on weekdays," Xu Mingzhu retorted, "because he is too honest, he doesn't get along well with others. The other guys don't hate him or reject him, but they also Not too close to him."

Ye Qiongdan was silent.

"Qiondan, the shopkeeper, please go back to the firecracker shop to have a look. He doesn't know where the Zhou's family in Guazhou is, and he doesn't dare to bother you rashly. And I just want to come to see you at the Zhou's house, so I decided to do it for you. He has a word."

Ye Qiongdan looked at Steward Zhou, and Steward Zhou said, "This old slave can't be the master, so I need to ask my wife first."

"Then there will be housekeeper Lao Zhou." Ye Qiongdan said politely.

"Should be."

Housekeeper Zhou knew that the journey from Guazhou to Qinghe County was very long, and there was no delay in this matter, so he immediately reported it to his wife.

After Mrs. Zhou heard this, she waved her hand resolutely: "No! Until the scars on my face disappear completely, Ms. Ye must stay at Zhou's house and must not leave Guazhou City."

"Yes." Butler Zhou replied.

Then he informed Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu of the news, and Xu Mingzhu said anxiously: "What should I do, Qiongdan, what if there are ghosts again tonight?"

"Don't panic," Ye Qiongdan comforted, "Butler Zhou, please prepare some cinnabar and yellow paper for me, I want to draw some talismans."

"Miss Ye can also draw talismans?" Steward Zhou was very surprised, and admired her even more, "Miss Ye is really a capable person!"

"Butler Zhou is overrated, but he just wanted to draw a few talismans to give them psychological comfort." Ye Qiongdan said modestly.

So Steward Zhou didn't think much about it, but Xu Mingzhu knew that the talisman she drew was really effective.

Steward Zhou quickly asked someone to fetch cinnabar and yellow paper from the warehouse. After the maid stepped forward to grind the cinnabar, Ye Qiongdan picked up the pen luck, poured the pure vitality in the body into the tip of the pen, and began to draw symbols like flowing clouds and flowing water.

After a while, the ten talismans were drawn.

Xu Mingzhu took the ten talismans, folded them and stuffed them into her wallet, and glanced at the sky outside: "I have to go, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and I have to ask the shopkeeper to take these talismans tonight." Take all the talisman papers back to the firecracker shop, shall we?"

Ye Qiongdan nodded: "You tell the shopkeeper to be safe and not to be impatient. After I finish dealing with the matter in Guazhou, I will rush back as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingzhu brought all the talisman papers to the shopkeeper. After returning to Qinghe County, the shopkeeper was hit by a person just as he got off the carriage.

Then, everything in the shopkeeper's arms was stolen, which naturally included the ten talismans.
