Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 215 Questioning
"Say!" Xu Mingzhu questioned.

"She, she, she went shopping in the town!" Ye Fengxian hurriedly thought of a reason.

"Really? What are you buying? When will you be back?" Xu Mingzhu circled around him, sized him up, and asked suspiciously.

"It's just buying some women's things, I don't know that," Ye Fengxian laughed, "Miss Xu, you are a lady, so you should stop inquiring about a concubine with a low status, it's demeaning! "

"I suspect that she stole the money from the second room of the Ye family. I want to interrogate her!" Xu Mingzhu raised her chin.

"Stealing things? That's absolutely impossible! She's a little woman, how can she have such courage?" Ye Fengxian said hastily, "Besides, interrogating prisoners is a matter of the yamen, so I don't need to bother Miss Xu. "

"What if I insist on interrogating her?" Xu Mingzhu cast a sideways glance at him.

"This..." Ye Fengxian felt a little troubled.

"Tell me, when will she come back?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

"Maybe I won't be back for a while." Ye Fengxian suddenly thought of an excuse, "When she was in the brothel, she had a few good friends. She went shopping in the town this time and wanted to visit her A sister from Congliang stayed with her for a few days to catch up on old feelings."

"Who is that sister? Where does she live?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

"I'm not sure about this. I'm an imposing man, why do I ask so many questions from her and a woman?" Ye Feng first rolled up his sleeves.

"You have to tell me the truth." Ye Qiongdan stared at him and said unhurriedly.

"Hehe, little niece, you are so smart, if I lie, can I hide it from you?" Ye Fengxian slightly raised his eyebrows, and squinted at her.

"Okay, I believe you," Ye Qiongdan smiled, "Then I will stay here."

"Eh……"

"Give me the money!" Ye Qiongdan took out a tael of silver from the purse and threw it in his hand.

Old Mrs. Ye swallowed, quickly endured the pain in her back, walked over quickly, and snatched the money from her hand.

"I'm staying too!" Xu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, and opened her purse to pay for it.

"I said what are you doing? You obviously still don't believe me. I, Ye Fengxian, have read sage books for many years. Are my words so untrustworthy?" Ye Fengxian was anxious.

"Uncle, those belongings are very important to the second room, we have to pay attention to them, please understand." Ye Qiongdan's tone was slightly resolute.

"No!" Ye Fengxian shook his head, "There are not so many houses anymore."

"In the past, people who could accommodate the old couple and the fourth room could accommodate a relative for a day or two, why can't they accommodate them now?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows, "I said uncle, what are you afraid of? "

"I'm afraid? What can I be afraid of?" Ye Fengxian coughed and swallowed, but he didn't dare to fight her. "I think you are used to living in a good house, so suddenly you come back to live in an old house. It will definitely be uncomfortable to live in. Besides, Miss Xu is the daughter of a third-rank military officer in the court. Can you let such a distinguished guest live in our poor place? Isn’t this an abrupt guest? You are not afraid that Commander Xu will send you down. Is it your fault?"

"I am happy to live here! Wherever Qiongdan is, I will be there!" Xu Mingzhu took Ye Qiongdan's arm again, "As for my father, my father has always followed me, as long as I don't fight so bravely that he If I have a headache, thank God! In his eyes, as long as I don’t dance with guns and clubs all day long, I will look like a lady in everything I do!”

"No!" Ye Fengxian still refused.

"What's the reason?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

"Don't worry! As soon as Piaoxu comes back, I will definitely notify you!" Ye Fengxian said helplessly, "You all go away! I have to go back to the room to study. You are all stuck here, I How can I calm down and study? Aren't you delaying my studies?"

When You Yue'e heard this, she sneered, folded her arms and turned her head away.

Ordinary people must have blushed when they heard this sarcasm, but Ye Fengxian was thick-skinned and remained indifferent, as if he believed his own words!
"What if I insist on staying?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

"Then I have no choice but to chase him away." Ye Fengxian put on a rascal look, "As for the two taels of silver you gave, it's your honor to the old man."

"you……"

Before Ye Qiongdan could utter the words, he was interrupted by a loud shout: "The people of the Ye family are coming out soon! Come to collect the corpses! Collect the corpses! Collect your family's corpses!"

The surrounding villagers stepped aside one after another, allowing a group of yamen servants to carry a stretcher into the courtyard of the Ye family's old house.

"Collect the corpse? Whose corpse?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

The summer is hot, and the corpse is easy to rot. As soon as Xu Mingzhu smelled the stench, she covered her nose with her sleeve and hid far away.

"Piaoxu, the concubine of Ye Fengxian, the eldest son of the Ye family," the yamen servant replied. He had met Ye Qiongdan several times in court, and he recognized her, so he asked politely, "Miss Ye, I want to lift the shroud for you." Have you seen it?"

"Yes." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

When she walked to the corpse, she glanced at Ye Fengxian out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Ye Fengxian was very panicked, his face turned pale in an instant, and his hands clenched the corners of his clothes tightly, as if he had lost something very important.

This look is very strange!

She remembered that the selfish Ye Fengxian didn't love Piaoxu much, did he?

When Dafang and Mrs. Ye lived in Ye's new house temporarily, Ye Qiongdan refused to prepare meals for Dafang on the grounds that they had severed ties with Dafang. Ye Fengxian always went out secretly to get something to eat. I stuffed it into my stomach, leaving no steamed buns for Piaoxu.

A man like him would be panicked by Piaoxu?
Even if you kill her, you won't believe it!

Among them, there must be something tricky!
Ye Qiongdan lifted a corner of the shroud, glanced at the soaked and swollen corpse, her gaze stayed on her neck.

"After she was strangled to death, she was thrown into the water?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

"That's right, Wu Zuo has already had a preliminary look at it," said the yamen servant, "and we have also found witnesses."

"Oh?" Ye Qiongdan raised her eyebrows, "Who strangled her to death?"

"Two days ago, the deceased eloped with a former benefactor of hers with a box of gold and silver jewelry and 2000 taels of cash. It is said that the benefactor was her first love. Later, because her family was in trouble, she had no money to go there and wait for the sale. The Golden Grotto broke contact with the deceased. Later, under the arrangement of his elders, this man married a girl in the town.

"The deceased contacted this person and asked him to help her steal the property and elope with the property. After getting on the boat, the two had some quarrels for some reason, and the man strangled the deceased and threw her body in the In the river. The scene where he strangled the dead was just seen by a boatman, and the boatman didn’t want to cause trouble, so he kept silent.”

"So, has the murderer been caught?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

"The murderer is also dead. When the boat sailed to Turtle Beach, it encountered bandits who robbed the entire ship's belongings and killed them all. Only one person, relying on his excellent water skills and clever mind, was able to escape the robbery. time, escaped by diving."

"So the box of gold, silver, jewelry and 2000 taels of silver lost by the second room of the Ye family is now in the hands of the robber?" Ye Qiongdan's heart sank, "Who is the robber? Why are they so arrogant?"

"Those gangsters are all members of the Wutou Gang. The Wutou Gang is known as the largest gang in Yiling County. There are [-] 'green forest heroes' in the gang. They live on robbery. They live on Mount Wutou and are proficient in water skills. The Guard Commander in Yiling County only trains land soldiers, not sailors, so the guards of the Guard Commander are no match for the Wutou gang! They often kill them and return home!"

"Presumptuous!" Xu Mingzhu was slightly annoyed, she could not see someone saying that her father was not wise.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I made a slip of the tongue for a while, please forgive me this time, Miss Xu, please!"

Xu Mingzhu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Ye Qiongdan sighed: "It's all right now, the things got into the hands of the Wutou gang, and it's hard to get them back."

The people in the second room looked at each other a few times, their eyes were full of depression and unwillingness.

Ye Feng first supported a pillar, and slowly sat under the eaves, dejected.

However, the focus of the villagers at this time was elsewhere.

"Hey, I never thought that little bastard Piaoxu would actually give Ye Fengxian a cuckold!"

"Isn't that right, Ye Fengxian is really useless! Useless in reading! Useless in being a man! He can't even control his concubine, but he actually ran away with money and eloped with other men! Smack, smack, I really look down on you."

"That's why, don't pick wild flowers on the roadside. You old men should keep your eyes open! This bitch is ruthless, the actress is ungrateful, and the bastard who came out of the brothel, how can you believe her hypocrisy? Ye Fengxian How stupid!"

The more Mrs. Ye listened, the more excited she became. Enduring her back pain with a cane, she walked to the door, supported the door frame, and began beating people with her cane.

"Get out! Get out! Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The surrounding villagers were scared away by her, and then they gathered under the tree not far away, and looked at this side eagerly.

Mrs. Ye was so angry that she raised her hand and closed the door!

After closing it, she was still angry and inserted the latch again.

This anger not only made her back hurt, but her liver also hurt. She spat hard on the ground and cursed: "Bitch! Shameless bastard!"

The yamen servant waiting at the side asked with some embarrassment: "Then, do you still accept this corpse?"

"No! Of course not! Pull her out! Our Ye family won't accept the body of such a shameless bitch! Don't dirty my graveyard!" Mrs. Ye said meanly, "Throw her into the mess! Go to the burial mound, it's best to be eaten by wolves!"

"What about you?" The yamen servant looked at Ye Fengxian.

When he came to investigate the case two days ago, he had visited the Ye family's old house, and he had some impressions of the eldest son of the Ye family.

"Me? Ask me why? Mother said she was going to throw the corpse away, so throw the corpse away quickly!" Ye Fengxian said without blushing without panting, "Everyone in Shanghe Village doesn't know that I, Ye Fengxian, am a famous person in the village. Dutiful son, can I disobey my mother's words?"
