Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Chapter 114 Walking alone in the mountains

Speaking of this, the irritable Sun Sheng could no longer hold back his temper, his stubby neck was flushed red, and his mouth was filled with righteous indignation: "What kind of bullshit evidence, they are simply looking for money and want to sell the goods we have worked so hard to buy. Take it for yourself!"

Although the tall and thin Qian Yijiang was not as excited as Sun Sheng, he kept shaking his head: "Oh, we put all our wealth into it for that carload of colorful satin, and we hoped to sell the goods as soon as possible." , to recover the cost as soon as possible, otherwise this winter will only be able to drink the northwest wind. Those officers and soldiers are not reasonable at all, they will be deducted as soon as they say, they are even more domineering than robbers."

Li Shun, who had been silent from the side, listened to what the two brothers said, and added: "Brother Zhao is the one who contributed the most money among us, so we can't blame him for being angry. If it were you, would you swallow your anger?"

Before Di Dongqing could speak, the yamen servant interrupted first: "Do you still remember what kind of person that official is?"

Li Shun was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this cowardly clerk who was out of his mind to speak suddenly, and asked an inexplicable question.He rolled his eyelids and thought for a while, then replied: "He's quite tall, with great martial arts skills, and he wields a sword with his left hand. Those officers and soldiers seem to call him Lord Shen Qianhu...Why do you ask this?"

"Ask as you please." Ya Cha replied, then shrugged his shoulders and remained silent.

Lu Zhengqiu took his words and asked: "Everyone used to run an escort agency, so they must also be martial arts practitioners."

Li Shun was startled again, with a vigilant look in his eyes, and he quickly argued: "It was true before, but we have washed our hands for many years, and now we are just honest businessmen who have never violated the law. Law."

Lu Zhengqiu nodded according to his intention, to dispel his doubts, and said again: "Dare to ask what happened afterwards?"

The three of them lowered their heads and pursed their lips at the same time, with pained expressions on their faces.

In the end, it was Qian Yijiang who spoke first: "Brother, he... grabbed the saber from a soldier, and started fighting with Shen Qianhu. We couldn't stop them. The two fought all the way to the edge of the cliff. , that section of the cliff was very steep, my eldest brother was forced to a corner, but still refused to admit defeat, slipped under his feet, and fell down accidentally..."

Before he finished speaking, the fatty Li Shun had already shed two lines of dirty tears: "Brother, brother...he never climbed up again..."

Qian Yijiang also frowned, and said: "We also want to go to the bottom of the cliff to find him, but a layer of ice has just formed on the cliff, which is as slippery as an egg shell, and the cold wind is blowing, there is nowhere to go Settle down..."

Di Dongqing's heart trembled, it turned out that Zhao Ji fell off a cliff and died.Falling off such a cold and lonely cliff alone, the end is really miserable.He heard it in his ears, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Everyone was silent, and the Yamen stammered again: "How can you prove that these things are true, true?"

Sun Sheng's face darkened, and he said angrily: "What kind of bastard are you talking about! Are we going to make fun of the elder brother's life!" He was about to jump up violently, but was stopped by Qian Yijiang.

Qian Yijiang walked up to the Yacha, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the bottom of his sleeve, unfolded it and handed it over: "Here, official documents from the government are clearly written in black and white, you can read them yourself."

The Yacha took over the official document, and Di Dongqing also went to read it.It was written on the paper: "Zhao Ji, a good citizen of Xiling Town, died in public affairs, and was issued a shirt of 60 taels of silver." The full surname Shen.

Di Dongqing read the official document, and even though he was as straightforward as him, he also understood the meaning.The so-called death due to official duties is just a vague excuse, and the real purpose is to borrow money to make peace.

In the eyes of officials, the life of an ordinary person is worth only 60 taels of silver.

The three of them knew that Zhao Ji took the knife first, and it was unreasonable. If they refused to accept the mediation and insisted on suing, they would be held accountable in the end.

So they took the banknotes and came back to do things for the dead elder brother.

After looking over it, the yamen guard folded up the official document and handed it back to Qian Yijiang with both hands.Seeing his humble attitude, the latter calmed down a bit, and asked, "My lord, what else do you want to ask?"

Yacha shook his head: "I understand." After a while, he added, "I'm not here to ask for trouble."

Having said that, as long as he puts on a brocade robe and hangs a golden knife around his waist, this explanation will become more and more suspicious.

Qian Yijiang stopped arguing with him, sighed, waved his hands and said: "Then thank you, let's go quickly."

The yaman didn't leave, but still stood where he was, and asked: "You are talking about haunted, what's going on?"

Qian Jiang was taken aback, he didn't expect this person to have the guts to ask about ghosts, so he asked, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Yachai said: "I'm afraid of returning home, I still have to figure it out."

Once again, Qian Yijiang showed a hesitant look on his face, exchanged glances with the other two companions, and finally answered: "It was late at night, there was a shadow wandering on the corridor all night, with inaudible footsteps, as long as you Once you chase after him, you will drift far away, but if you stop and wait quietly, you can still hear his panting sound, which is heavy and muffled, it is simply... not like a living person..."

Sun Sheng stretched his neck and said: "Even if it is a dead person, it is Brother Zhao. He must still miss his family, so come back and see us..."

Qian Yijiang shrank his neck involuntarily, and said again: "Anyway, we have already planned to seal up this yard and fly away. If the elder brother's wronged soul still has lingering thoughts, this yard will always be reserved for him."

After listening to his words, the other two nodded together.

But the Yachai said: "Don't seal it yet, can I help you drive away ghosts?"

The three said together: "You? Exorcism?"

Not to mention the three owners of the yard, even the two uninvited guests were amazed.

Of course Di Dongqing would not forget how this man was scared out of his wits by the ghost just now, so he reminded: "Little brother, did you misunderstand?"

"No misunderstanding," the yamen servant nodded emphatically, "I want to stay, stay in this yard tonight, and help them drive away ghosts."

Sun Sheng stared wide-eyed at the strange man opposite, unable to even test his violent temper for a while, he said after a while: "Okay, you have the guts, we have already booked the inn for tonight, and this yard is reserved for You."

As dusk approached, the three kowtowed in front of Zhao Ji's altar one by one, wiped away the tears on their faces, and then left their house.

They had long planned to move out, and had already cleaned up the furnishings in the yard, leaving a few empty houses.The cold wind accumulated by the wall, rolled up a few dry leaves, and swirled in the air, making a rustling sound, which sounded particularly bleak.

Zhao Ji’s funeral affairs were handled in a very grand manner, even the mourning hall was decorated in a grand and elaborate manner. The entrance connected with the main entrance, two rows of ever-burning candles were placed on both sides, and elegiac couplets and elegiac scrolls were hung on the surrounding walls. The cold wind blows together.

After Qian Sunli left, the large courtyard became much more empty. The Yachai stood in front of the mourning hall, staring at the banner, without saying a word.

Di Dongqing was afraid that he would be frightened again, so she approached him and said, "Little brother, are you okay?"

The yamen chaperone shuddered, turned his head tremblingly, and found that the two "uninvited guests" were still staying in the yard, he was very surprised: "Are you...don't you go?"

Di Dongqing cast a wink at the master, seeing the master nod his head in agreement, she felt relieved, turned to the clerk, smiled and said: "You are also my patient, if you go away like this, I really don't feel relieved."
