Chapter 27 Borrowing the East Wind (plus more)
The streets are gradually bustling, and more and more vendors have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Women who got up early to buy vegetables went out in groups carrying bamboo baskets.
Soon, a scream kicked off the dawn.
Within a few moments, the Dong Mansion was completely blocked by the huge crowd.
"It's really scary. This Dong Hui has been dead for five years, why was he dug up again? Hey, take a closer look, this coffin is made of high-quality rosewood!"
"The yellow talisman in one place, there is also a big word'evil' written on the Zhumen, I don't know if it is human blood or..."
Someone read the small print.
"The Dong family offended someone?"
Someone also burst out laughing.
"Is the Dong family offended by a small number of people these years? Maybe they will do something outrageous again. It makes people angry. You deserve it!"
Yi Cui was huddling in the crowd, holding her voice to stir up the atmosphere: "The wizard's bell rang continuously yesterday. Let me see, maybe it's a ghost who came to the door."
Sure enough, everyone's expressions became dignified, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Obviously, the thoughts of success were distracted.
But, if they talk about wronged souls, they can only think of the group of concubines who were buried alive together back then.
After many years, did you come to seek revenge?
With a 'bang', the door plaque was about to fall, fell straight down, fell to the ground, and shattered into two pieces. In the distance, Ji Qing withdrew his hand pinching the stone and left quietly.
Nobody saw who did it. But the discussion was twice as loud.
In the inner courtyard of Dong’s Mansion, there seemed to be a water leak in the house, and the tick-tock splashed Master Dong’s face. He didn’t sleep well, and when he rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes, he saw the head hanging on the top of the bed.
What fell on his face, where there was water, was clearly blood...
And the owner of this head, he is most familiar with, is that he specially went to the Miao nationality to hire a powerful wizard at a high price.
The wizard's eyes were wide open, and his expression was stiff with panic. I don't know how long he has been dead, but his eyes are facing each other, and the eyeballs seem to fall off at any time.
With a snap, the **** head rolled and fell into his arms.
"Master!"
The butler from outside stumbled over.
"The wizard is inexplicably missing!"
His head in his arms, hehehe.
Seeing that the door was closed, the butler didn't dare to trespass, so he said again: "The plaque outside was also smashed!"
Master Dong was covered in cold sweat, his heart was beating like thunder, he held back the scream in his throat, and crawled out of bed, not caring about his messy clothes.
In these years, for the sake of wealth, he has been stained with the blood of many people.
There are dead people and there are living people.
It is not easy to get eighteen girls together.
Time was running out, and under the advice of the wizard, he found the last girl with excellent horoscopes.
But the man is not dead yet.
Master Dong also chose the time to personally send her on the road.
The white knife goes in and the red knife goes out.
He could keep his face unchanged, but when he saw the wizard's head suddenly, he was trembling all over, and kept feeling sick and vomiting.
Who is warning him?
Butler: "Young Master's grave has also been dug! It's just outside! The whole Fengzhou City probably knows about it. Madam was furious when she heard about it, she reported to the officials and asked the magistrate to make the decision, and arrest the villain. I still can't understand the hatred in my heart."
With a 'creak' sound, Master Dong staggered out.
"The fool!"
"It's an eventful time, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose! Entering my Dong's mansion and killing my wizard, it can be seen that the strength should not be underestimated. The comer is in the dark and I am in the light. Even if the magistrate favors my Dong's family, how can he provoke and make trouble? ?”
——
"Get out of the way, disturbing the Yamen handling the case, you will lose your head!"
Before Mrs. Dong reported the case, people came to the Yamen, and dozens of officials with knives came viciously.
The people naturally fear the government. They gave way one after another.
"Someone reported the crime, the Dong family was involved in a murder case, take them all away!"
The Dong family is connected with the magistrate, and they donate large sums of money every year.
The officials of this small county government are so presumptuous?
Madam Dong threw herself on the coffin with red eyes, turned around and cursed.
"They're all blind? Are you not afraid of being blamed by the magistrate if the county master ordered you to arrest people?"
"My son will not be at peace in the underworld! I still want to report to the police!"
No matter how noisy they are, these officials will insist on going their own way.
Master Dong was in a daze, and was taken out by the officials who broke in according to the law.
Even the slaves and maidservants of the Dong family were escorted to the yamen.
The private room of the tea house.
Looking down from the window, you can clearly see the farce in front of Dong's house.
The tea was fragrant, but Shen Wei never took a sip.
Shen Hua frowned, troubled and confused.
Cui Yun brought her here to the teahouse, and even the pile of criminal evidence in his hand was given by him.
But Cui Yun sent her to her and left.
No word left.
But Shen Wei strongly believes that the current matter is Cui Yun's handwriting.
Yi Cui watched the play, and went into the teahouse refreshed.
"Mr. Cui just came to Fengzhou City, but he easily gathered all the evidence that troubled his wife for many days but could not be found. It can be seen that he is a hero, but he doesn't know his identity?"
Shen Hua was full of melancholy.
It's not that she is worrying unfoundedly, Shen Wei really doesn't know why.
She and Cui Yun had no personal relationship before?
Why did Cui Yun help her?
Did he have a grudge against the Dong family and helped her, or did he go to bring down the Dong family just to help her?
She looked sideways out the window.
"See, the county lord who flatters like a dog in front of the magistrate has sent people here. But this time, he and the magistrate have become hostile roads."
Shen Wei: "The magistrate of the county is timid and timid, and he has never been outstanding. In recent years, the people have complained about grievances and delivered the pleadings. Focus on cover-ups that bend the law for personal gain."
Just as she was talking, she lowered her eyes, her eyes trembled, and asked word by word.
"Tell me, who did the magistrate borrow courage from, or who did he borrow power from?"
Shen Wei actually thought of various ways to get involved with the Dong family, but she had never thought of reporting to an official before.
Reporting to the official... is the most useless.
These officials are superior in corruption and accepting bribes. How can they care about the suffering of the people when they are twisted together?
What Shen Hua thought of was nothing more than playing tricks to make everyone uneasy.
Let the ugliness of these sinners be exposed to the sun.
Since there is no way to report to the official, let your own way make the Dong family unhappy.
But now, when Cui Yun made a move, the county magistrate actually confronted the magistrate and clamored.
It's a bad feeling to be out of control.
She didn't know what else Cui Yun would do next?
What Yicui cares most about is still Shen Wei's body: "Lady, you didn't rest well last night, and now you are quite haggard, why don't you go back home and rest?"
"The crime is obvious. The Dong family has encountered a hard problem this time. The servant has asked the servants in the yard to go to the trial. As soon as there is news and progress, the lady will be informed."
Shen Hua shook her head.
"I'm waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
Shen Hua's beautiful eyes curved.
Since, with the help of Cui Yun, she naturally had to hand over the stack of evidence to the county master herself.
