Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 332 This is Protection and Surveillance

"When my face is restored to its former glory, I will naturally let you go back. What are you in a hurry for?" Mrs. Zhou said nonchalantly.

"Madam, this matter has become very serious." Ye Qiongdan helplessly told what happened in the firecracker shop last night.

"I've said it all. There are no ghosts in this world. They are all ghosts born of suspicion." Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly. If the deceased seeks justice, you can just let them torment, after a while, they will naturally give you a clear result."

"Mrs. Zhou, I don't think this matter is simple," Ye Qiongdan said persistently, "I still want to go back."

"Going back overnight?" Mrs. Zhou's eyebrows were stained with displeasure.

"Yes, rush back overnight." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

"What if I still disagree?"

"Madam, please be considerate."

"Other things can be accommodated, but this matter must not be accommodated." Mrs. Zhou thought that her face had been treated worse and worse, and a chill rose behind her back. "You can stay at the Zhou family with peace of mind. If what you said is true, what's the harm in keeping it for seven days?"

"Mrs. Zhou, don't wait seven days, I'm afraid someone will die tomorrow!" Xu Mingzhu said anxiously.

"If someone dies, it's just a matter of paying some money. At worst, put your firecracker pants off and dismiss all the guys. What's the matter if I give you another firecracker shop?" Mrs. Zhou said indifferently.

Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu looked at each other, and they both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes. The head mother of a big family like Mrs. Zhou would kill and kill her servants at will because she did something wrong. Human life is like a mustard, it is not worth caring about at all.

"Mrs. Zhou, this ointment is really useful. Even if you don't keep me here, this ointment will work according to the properties of the medicine. So why not let me go?" Ye Qiongdan said.

Mrs. Zhou was silent. To put it bluntly, she still lacked trust in Ye Qiongdan.

"Well, Mrs. Zhou, if you want to detain me, you can detain me," Xu Mingzhu said, "She and I are good sisters, and she will definitely not harm her own sister."

"This human heart is the most complicated thing in the world, how can you say it accurately." Mrs. Zhou sighed, still unmoved.

"Ma'am, the Zhou family is a big family with a history of 300 years. They must have collected some poisons that are not known to the outside world, right? Just give me a poison that the Zhou family can get the antidote for. If I escape, I will definitely kill you." Died of poison."

"Yes," Mrs. Zhou nodded, "but the young lady of the Xu family must also be detained here, so I can feel more at ease."

"Okay," Ye Qiongdan nodded, "Mrs. Zhou, you can still send someone to follow me. I will definitely be back within three days."

"Then I agree," Mrs. Zhou lowered her eyes slightly, and shouted, "Dark One, Dark Two, you two dark guards will follow Miss Ye and protect Miss Ye well."

"Yes." Two hidden guards came out from the hiding place, knelt down and cupped their hands towards Mrs. Zhou.

Ye Qiongdan knew that this was protection and surveillance.

These two hidden guards can be regarded as top-notch masters, Madam Zhou felt that with them around, she would never be able to escape.

"Scholar, go to the stables and prepare three high-quality horses for them. Guazhou is far away from Qinghe County. If there are not a few good horses, it will be an ugly time in the middle of the night when you arrive in Guazhou."

"Yes, ma'am." Scholar retreated immediately.

After a while, the Zhou family's stable prepared three good horses for them.

Mrs. Zhou asked someone to take out the poison that was not known to the Zhou family. Ye Qiongdan reached out to pick up the poison and swallowed it without thinking.

Xu Mingzhu sent Ye Qiongdan to the door, and Ye Qiongdan said to Xu Mingzhu after getting on the horse: "Take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, you are a distinguished guest of the Zhou family. As long as your ointment is fine, I will always be treated courteously at the Zhou family." After going through so many ups and downs between the two, Xu Mingzhu was very relieved of Ye Qiongdan , she said with a smile, "Go early and come back early, waiting for you to solve all the problems!"

"I will definitely!" Ye Qiongdan nodded, then pulled the rein in his hand and shouted, "Drive!"

The rest of the horses immediately started to run, and the two hidden guards followed behind her, also galloping.

After a while, the figures of the three disappeared into the night.

Two hours later, the three arrived in Qinghe County on three rare horses. Ye Qiongdan got off the horse and knocked on the door of the firecracker shop.

"Bang bang bang..."

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one came out to open the door. Ye Qiongdan guessed that the guys who lived in the backyard of the firecracker shop were too scared to go out.

At this time, it was already the third watch of the most cloudy, and there was no one on the street.

Even in the middle of the night on weekdays, there will be some dogs barking in the deep alley.Tonight, the street is deadly silent, not even the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves can be heard.

Just standing at the door, the three of them could feel a bone-chilling chill.

An Yi and An Er frowned, looked at the pitch-black sky, and thought to themselves, in other places, they could still see stars like silver flakes in the sky, but when they looked up here, not even a single star appeared. can not see.

Could this be the legendary evil spirit?
Ye Qiongdan saw that he couldn't knock on the door, so he had no choice but to break in.

She was full of great energy, and after entering the firecracker shop, the sinister coldness in the shop was reduced a lot.

After she entered the yard from the front of the shop, those evil spirits began to drill into the well.

Ye Qiongdan chased to the well, took out an evil talisman that he carried with him from his purse, and stuck it to the well.

Suddenly the sky cleared up, the Milky Way in mid-air fell like a waterfall, and the summer night returned to a touch of warmth and coolness.

Ye Qiongdan shouted: "It's all right now, I've pasted a talisman on the mouth of the well, come out."

There was the sound of dressing from each room, and after a while the shopkeeper and his fellows came out of each room, and everyone ran to Ye Qiongdan's side with trepidation, their faces pale.

"Little boss, why did you come here suddenly in the middle of the night?" the shopkeeper asked hastily.

"It was already dark when Mingzhu arrived at Da's house. I informed Mrs. Zhou, and then I borrowed Zhou's fast horse and rushed over. How are you doing tonight?"

"Not good." Everyone said in unison.

If it weren't for the fact that they are far away from home, they would not choose to live in the backyard of the firecracker shop.

These days, it is unrealistic to want to change jobs for a while, so they dare not quit their jobs easily.

Once they quit their jobs, how will they support their families?

If they have already found their next home, who would want to continue working in this firecracker shop?
"After we fell asleep tonight, there was a sound of patting on the window outside, and there was a wet handprint on the window. We were so scared that we couldn't sleep. We were afraid that the dead Xiao Zhao would break in through the window sometime..." The shopkeeper He said tremblingly, "It's like years for us, we just want to wait until dawn, as long as the rooster crows."

"Don't stay in this shop for the time being," Ye Qiongdan took out a bank note from his wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Take them to knock on the doors of each inn tonight to see which inn is not full yet. , Let them stay in the inn for one night."

"That's really great." The shopkeeper said excitedly.

The others nodded excitedly, and a trace of blood finally returned to their faces.

After Ye Qiongdan sent them to the door, he closed the door, walked back to the well in the yard, took off the evil spirit affixed to the well mouth, and said to the wronged soul in the well: "Come out, if you have any grievances, just tell me Say! I will definitely uphold justice for you! But I hope that after I uphold justice for you, you can feel at ease and stop harassing others."

After a while, a wet ghost climbed up from the well.

Xiao Zhao was dumb before his death, but he was not born dumb, but was frightened dumb when he was a child because of a fire at home.

After his death, he regained the ability to speak.

He said sadly to Ye Qiongdan: "Little boss, I died so unjustly."

This is the first time that An Yi and An Er saw a ghost, which overturned their previous cognition of this world. There was a layer of cold sweat on their backs, and their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. Can't move anymore.

They thought to themselves, why is Ye Qiongdan so courageous?
They would be afraid even when they saw ghosts, but Ye Qiongdan didn't change his face. What kind of concentration and heart is this!

This woman from the countryside is really very human!

"How did you die? Who killed you? Do you have any memory?" Ye Qiongdan asked seriously.

"It was Chen Ada who killed me," Xiao Zhao said resentfully, "so I look for Chen Ada every night, and I want to ask for his life!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiongdan remembered that all the other guys in the shop were there tonight, but Chen Ada was not there. Isn't this very suspicious?
"You haven't found Chen Ada in the past few days, which means that Chen Ada has been away for the past few days. Maybe he was afraid after killing you, so he didn't dare to come back." Ye Qiongdan said.

"No, Chen Ada will definitely come back," Xiao Zhao said firmly, "He took other people's money, and he put the money in his room and hid it in the mouse hole under the kang. I I can't come out during the day, I don't know if he has come back, so I can only look for someone room by room at night to see if he has come back. Maybe he is afraid to live alone when he comes back, and lives with others ?”

"You said that Chen Ada took other people's money, what kind of money did he take?"

Xiao Zhao revealed the cause of his death. It turned out that he discovered a shocking secret. In order to ruin Ye Qiongdan's reputation and offend all the dignitaries in Guazhou, Han Tianxing set up a vicious plan. In this plan, Chen A Bigness is a crucial part.

After Xiao Zhao eavesdropped on the conversation between Han Tianxing's book boy and Chen Ada, he immediately went back to the house and wrote a letter, intending to ask the patrol horse to deliver the letter to Ye Qiongdan.

Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by Chen Ada. Chen Ada asked him for a letter, but Xiao Zhao refused to give it.

Chen Ada also said to give Xiao Zhao some benefits and let Xiao Zhao conceal the matter, but Xiao Zhao still refused.

So the two started wrestling by the well, and within a few hits, Xiao Zhao was pushed into the well by Chen Ada. Xiao Zhao didn't want to die, so he asked Chen Ada for help. Chen Ada could save him, but he was afraid The matter was exposed, and he was afraid that the money he got would be gone, so he stood quietly and watched Xiao Zhao drowned.

It wasn't until he felt that Xiao Zhao was dead that he left with peace of mind.

After hearing all this, Ye Qiongdan sighed: "I'm sorry to make you die because of me."

"Little boss, you are a good person. I heard them mention at night that you paid my family 60 taels of silver. I thank you. My family will be taken care of by my little boss from now on."

Ye Qiongdan nodded.
