Chapter 24 How about buying your life?
On the way to the inn, Ji Qing slowed down the speed of the car, but someone still bumped into him.
The man was dressed in coarse cloth, with loose white hair. There are age spots on the ravine face.
He rushed up, and lay down a foot away. Just shouting with a loud voice.
"Hey, come and see, I killed someone."
Jie Qing hastily tightened the reins, the horse stopped, and its front hooves were raised high.
Soon, the place was surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside.
That is to say, with a cold face: "You are so angry, don't mess around."
"I don't know if I hurt you?"
The old man squirmed in pain on the ground artificially.
"I'm poor, but I can't blackmail people with my age?"
"If you don't explain to me today, you will never leave!"
Jie Qing: "What do you want?"
The old man stretched out his rough hand: "There is no one tael of silver for this matter, I will never end with you."
In order to have a good year, he has cheated no less than five foreigners in just a few days.
It's right, these rich kids are in a hurry, and it's better to have one thing less than one more thing. The right to buy a passing money.
Holding his uninjured leg, he howled miserably: "My leg, I'm afraid it's going to break."
The crowd was noisy, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation for the old man.
"I bumped into someone, and if I don't send it to the hospital, I can't think of money for the medicine. Isn't this bullying?"
"What a shame!"
That is, Qing sneered again and again, how could his master be the one to calm things down?
Sure enough, Cui Yun's voice sounded in the carriage.
"Clear."
"The subordinate is here."
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, there were many threats to him, but none of them ended well.
He is a cool person.
"Bump into it."
The crowd fell silent:? ? ?
It’s all like this, so it’s fine if you don’t show up, but continue to hit people?
The old man was even more dumbfounded: "You... are you crazy?"
Cui Yun closed his eyes, the sons of the Cui family were more handsome than the other, even in their bones they were elegant and vulgar.
The roller blind inside the carriage had already been lowered after Ji He left, the light was blocked, and he was plunged into the familiar darkness.
Clearly there is no smell of rotting corpses on the tip of his nose, but Cui Yun is breathing shallowly, but he is like a walking dead.
Being slandered is really not a pleasant thing.
He was still holding the thin silver bill in his hand, his expression was still indifferent, but his voice was rare and gentle, like a jewel in a dish, but what he could say was extremely ruthless.
"I'll pay five hundred taels, how about buying your life?"
——
As soon as Shen Hua returned to the yard, Yi Cui greeted her. The smile that just lifted from the corner of his mouth disappeared suddenly after seeing the medicine in Shen Hua's hand.
"What's wrong with my lady?"
"Throat moistening."
Yi Cui felt relieved when she heard the words, and took it with both hands.
Although there are servants in the courtyard, all the medicines are decocted by Yi Cui. It's not that you don't trust it, but that you can feel at ease only if you do it yourself.
Shen Hua awkwardly walked towards the back room, where there was plenty of charcoal fire, she sighed comfortably, and then took off the thick mink fur.
"Lady."
Yi Cui closes the door. Stepped forward and said softly.
"A message has been sent from Tanke."
Shen Hua is serious.
Since seeing Mrs. Qiu who was serving by Aunt Liu's side last time, Shen Wei has fallen in love with her.
Ghost marriages are the most taboo in handling everything, viewing portraits is counted as horoscopes. Indispensable.
And all of these have to be done by the wizard who lives in Dong's house.
"This time, the Dong family's work is extremely secretive. Perhaps the amount of money given is enough to keep it secret. There is no clue about the whereabouts of Mr. Dong when he went out to check the accounts. It can be seen that we should be careful."
Yi Cui whispered: "There is a message from over there, do you want to keep watching?"
If this matter hadn't been related to Shen Zhuo, they probably wouldn't have heard of it.
Maybe, the scouts will find something in the end, but Shen Hua is worried that the time is too late. And if the Dong family is looking for the way of all the girls...
Shen Hua's eyes fell on the carvings of birds, fish and insects.
After a while, she whispered, "No need."
"but."
She changed the topic.
"There is something for you to do."
Yi Cui hurriedly listened, and when she heard what Shen Wei said, her face turned into shock every inch of her face.
The setting sun is slanting to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is dim. All were swallowed up by the twilight.
In Chidong Street, someone came barefoot, his body was tightly wrapped in a strange black wizard robe, and even his head was covered with a huge hood, covering his face.
"Mom, his dress is really interesting! It's more interesting than my grandfather wearing a shroud."
On the street, children clapped their hands childishly, and soon, their ears were twisted.
"Little brat!"
"Mother, it hurts! Why hasn't Grandpa come back for dinner these days?"
"Your grandfather can't come back."
"It must be that the food you cook is too bad. Grandpa ran away from home. He is so stingy. He called me a good grandson but didn't take me with him."
He held a cane and walked silently.
The crutches thumped on the ground, but the bell hanging on it did not move at all.
Until he passed Dong's house.
The string of bells suddenly shook violently, jingling.
The man in black robe stopped and looked up at the closed door of Dong's house. As soon as the wind passed by, the hood slid down, and the weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles.
makes him more mysterious.
He didn't say a word, but the bell never stopped.
And the passers-by surrounded him like watching a good show.
Right at this moment, a well-timed voice sounded from the crowd.
"It is said that wizards use spells to get rid of evil spirits. This... Could it be that resentment hits the bell?"
The world believes in ghosts and gods the most. What's more, the Dong family buried many people alive many years ago, there is a precedent.
One sentence caused everyone to change their faces.
How much resentment this must be.
"Could it be that something has happened to the Dong family again?"
"Sin, the Dong family has had bad luck these years, could it be that the souls of the grievances are scattered?"
Some people looked carefully at the wizard's face: "Master, I pass by Dong's house every day, so I won't get bad luck, right?"
The doorman of the Dong family got the news and opened up a little gap.
The wizard moved.
His voice was thin and hoarse: "Your family has done a lot of evil and hurt yourself. Stop it."
When the boy heard this, he put his hands on his hips.
"Where did the nine streams and three religions come from? Hurry up to make trouble in front of our Dong Mansion?"
"It's all gone! It's gone! Otherwise, I will report to the police and put you all in jail!"
The wizard took a deep look at the door plaque of Dong's mansion, sneered, turned and walked away. The bells kept ringing, and when they jingled, his voice was full of strange layers of ridicule, and it was difficult to distinguish male and female for a while.
"The Dong family is determined to go its own way, the crime is serious, and the blood debt must be paid."
"Nonsense!" The boy closed the door heavily.
But very quickly, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground. The boy who was dressed in the same clothes next to him tried to pull him, but he pushed him away. Cold sweat again and again.
"Go, go and tell the master!"
When Mr. Dong heard about this, his heart skipped a beat, and he rushed to Xiyuan regardless of the old etiquette.
Soon, his question came from inside.
"Wizard Ge, you buried my son with you that year. You did the ritual to deal with the aftermath. I trust you so much, but why did you become so angry?"
"Who is that person? Maybe he has a big background. After doing things according to the plan, if he notices the clues and disturbs..."
