Ex-wife villain

The setting sun is setting, twilight is quietly surrounding, and the cold wind that belongs to winter gradually begins to wreak havoc, carrying with it the sharp flying snow.

When Jiang Shouzhong returned to the hut, it was already dark.

Feeling in the dark, he took out a fire stick and lit the oil lamp on the table. The darkness in the room was instantly broken, and the warm and dim light imprinted the man's lonely shadow on the wall.

Jiang Shouzhong found some dry firewood, charcoal and cake-shaped coal to light the stove.

The whole room gradually began to warm up, dissipating the condensed cold air.

"Well, it's really better to have someone at home."

Jiang Shouzhong, who was alone, felt a little empty for no reason and couldn't help but sigh.

Recalling the scene where he, his ex-wife Hong'er and Sister Ye sat in front of the stove more than half a year ago, it was like a painting framed in a dream, distant and unreal.

At that time, he would never have imagined that fate would turn so quickly.

More than a year and a half ago, he was rescued by a young woman named Ye Zhuchan in this strange world and settled in a place called Anhe Village.

The days passed comfortably and leisurely.

Soon after, he married a girl named "Hong'er", and the two spent the best time in Anhe Village. But one day later, without any warning, the daughter-in-law left a ridiculous letter of divorce and left suddenly, and there was no news from her since.

A month later, the massacre of Anhe Village occurred that shocked the world.

Since then, the two have been separated from each other.

Because he was also on that death list.

According to the official announcement, all eighty-two households in Anhe Village were massacred by monsters. The initiator behind this was the Monster Clan Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.

But no one knew that there was a survivor like him in Anhe Village.

And changed his name to Jiang Mo.

After the village was attacked by monsters, although he could not find Sister Ye's body, the possibility of survival in that massacre was almost zero.

Especially the subsequent flash flood and mudslide that almost engulfed the entire village.

After the invasion, only the remaining limbs, broken arms, broken bones and flesh were left.

It was impossible to find the body again.

If he hadn't been lucky that night and was saved by a mysterious man when he went to the mountain temple to get drunk and soothe his sorrows alone, I'm afraid he wouldn't be sitting here right now.

As for the mysterious man...

"So, no one from the Ran family has been here?"

A hoarse voice like steel grinding against the ground, clearly deliberately disguised, appeared in the room without warning, interrupting Jiang Shouzhong's thoughts.

Jiang Shouzhong was startled.

When he saw that the mysterious man who had saved him appeared in the house, he muttered in a low voice: "I didn't know how to knock when I came in. It's so rude."

A tall figure stood in the dim room.

The person was completely covered in a black hooded cloak, and his specific figure could not be seen. On his face was a golden mask in the shape of a bird with a sharp beak and flying feathers.

The shadowy gray-black figure looks like a ghost in the dark cabin, making people feel even more horrified.

But Jiang Shouzhong is used to it.

Sometimes they even call each other "bird people".

I thought that if my boss who liked to give people nicknames saw it, he might be able to come up with a more interesting name.

"Have no one from the Ran family ever been here?"

The masked birdman asked again.

Jiang Shouzhong made the other party a cup of tea and laughed at himself: "Basically, I come once a month. It's the maid next to the eldest lady of Ranfu, just to give me some money."

The masked birdman did not take the tea cup, but walked to the stove and said calmly: "Ran Qingchen will go to Qingzhou in a while, you can find a way to go with her."

"why?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked with a frown.

The eye holes above the sharp beak of the bird-shaped mask flashed with sharp light like the cold moon, and his tone was domineering: "You don't need to ask why, just follow my arrangements."

Jiang Shouzhong said nothing and filled two pieces of charcoal into the stove.

Perhaps seeing that Jiang Shouzhong was a little displeased, the masked man's hoarse voice softened a little and added: "A case occurred in Qingzhou, which is somewhat related to the massacre in Anhe Village."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly raised his head.

Two piercing cold rays shot out from the man's black pupils, and he clenched his fists subconsciously, "Are you sure!?"

The reason why I followed this woman's arrangement and came to the capital was not only to repay her life-saving grace, but also because... there was something fishy about the massacre in Anhe Village.

It is likely to be related to a certain dignitary in the imperial court.

Because he accidentally discovered a bead while searching for Sister Ye's body.

After the other party identified it, the bead was named Chaozhu.

Different from the court beads worn by officials of the Qing Dynasty in Jiang Shouzhong's world, the court beads of the Dazhou Dynasty were specially gifted by the emperor and could not be worn by non-meritorious nobles or those with second-grade official titles or above. They were inscribed with the luck of the real dragon and could not be imitated.

Although it is a special gift from the emperor, the continental dynasty has given many rewards to it through generations of emperors over the years.

If we investigate one by one, we will undoubtedly find the needle in the river.

In addition to the missing inscription on the chao bead, there are still no clues.

But Jiang Shouzhong was not discouraged.

Even if the investigation process is long and difficult, and the enemies he faces in the future are very powerful, he will never let Sister Ye and other villagers die unjustly!

This is also the main reason why he is willing to enter six doors.

It's a pity that at that time, he didn't have the ability to "talk" to the dead, so he couldn't find out more truth.

For example, the old man in green shirt who has been dead for two days today, perhaps because he was worried about him and still lingering in his soul, discovered that Jiang Shouzhong had "psychic" ability, so he took the initiative to talk to him, hoping to find shelter for his granddaughter.

There is also the lingering ghost Zhang Lang.

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and said, "But the eldest lady of the Ran family is not interested in me. She has been married for half a year now and has only met me twice. It is impossible for her to take me to Qingzhou."

"The imperial court wants to build a new courtyard at Six Gates."

The masked man's hoarse voice sounded like an owl: "Ran Qingchen has been appointed as the director of the new hospital and will go to Qingzhou to investigate the case. You can take advantage of this opportunity."

"You also know this." Jiang Shouzhong stared at the masked birdman strangely, "Why do I feel that you are from the palace, and you know all the inside information."

The masked man refused to explain, but asked: "Are you interested in Ran Qingchen?"

"No."

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head without any hesitation.

Not to mention that his "Jiang Mo" identity is fake, even if it is real, based on the current progress of the two, it is estimated that they will not be able to develop a relationship in ten years.

We only met twice in half a year after getting married, which is outrageous.

Moreover, he could never forget the beautiful red light in his heart.

No one can take his place.

"Humph."

The masked man snorted, whether it was ridicule or other emotions. His eyes looked at the man a little softer, but his tone was still indifferent, "Remember what you should do, don't indulge in the love between your children all day long. !”

After that, the door "clicked" and the figure disappeared into the house, leaving only a wisp of cold air floating on the table lamp, shaking slightly.
