Robbery

Back in Lintai Town, Shi Dao and Chongyulou stood around the ghost face tree. Seeing the human face on it again, Chongyulou still felt a little awkward. He asked Shi, "What should we do next?"

Shi Dao took out the list and handed it to Chongyulou, saying, "Read their names."

Chongyulou took it hesitantly, and then he began to read: "Wang Erya..."

After reading the first one, an old man's face moved and said, "I was starved to death by my son. He and my wife dislike me and I can't move. I hate it..."

After finishing speaking, that face faded away, and Chongyulou saw Shi Dao was recording, and then Chongyulou read another one: "Wang Dashan."

That Wang Dashan's face began to move: "I didn't fall into the river by mistake. It was the old man Liu who pushed me down when I wasn't paying attention. He was jealous that my family had one more cow than his."

After speaking, it withered again. Chongyulou kept reciting the name. Listening to these people's narration, it was really hard to explain. When a face finished speaking, Chongyulou asked Shi: "Is this tree condensed with resentment?"

Shi Dao nodded. This tree is full of wronged people, but Chongyulou is a little puzzled: "Isn't the scholar that Mrs. Gong said is the victim?"

Shi Dao said: "That woman was indeed at fault, but how do you think she died?"

Chongyulou was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Could it be that he was killed by a scholar?"

"That's right, he was the first person to discover the secret of the ghost-faced tree. At that time, so many people were afraid to get close to it. After the scholar knew that the ghost-faced tree had told the truth, in order to cover it up, he revealed the truth he already knew to the public." Shi said.

Chongyulou understood that the scholar was afraid that others would discover his secret, and then suspect the cause of his wife's death, but he didn't expect that the government would seal up the tree after him, which made him a green hat in Lintai Town king.

"Go on!" Shi Dao said.

Chongyulou continued to read, at this time a young face named Ji Jing said: "I have a heart disease, my husband Ruan Tong never enters my room, I thought he was considerate of me, until I saw him and that man Get out of here, I'm so pissed off."

"Poor girl." Chongyulou sighed.

When he finished reading all the names, the faces on the tree disappeared, and the tree was bare, looking very desolate, but Chongyulou was puzzled: "Ms. Gong said that someone on this tree knows the secret of the county magistrate, How not?"

Shi Dao shook his head, maybe Mrs. Gong guessed wrong, maybe it was just hidden in this bunch of secrets.

"Then what should we do with this thing?" Chongyulou asked again.

Shi Dao said, "Post it out."

After speaking, the paper in his hand turned into countless sheets and flew to all directions of Lintai Town. On the street, someone picked it up and took a look. It said the secret of the ghost-faced tree. The servants of the tree also got it, and they immediately opened the door, only to find that the face on the tree had disappeared, but there was no one inside.

All of a sudden, rumors abounded in Lintai Town. Those involved in these secrets were all like rats crossing the street. Everyone yelled and beat them, and more people reported to the county government. One of the people involved has not come to the county office for several days.

"Master, what should I do?" said a small official.

The county magistrate Yan Daoming's expression changed, he said: "I will go there in person."

The little official immediately stopped him and said, "This is inappropriate. The man who secretly had an affair with Mr. Ruan has not yet been found. This will affect your reputation."

Yan Daoming stopped, he glanced at the little official, and said: "You are right."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, but the little official was a little strange, the tone of the magistrate did not seem to listen to his words.

At night, Yan Daoming took advantage of the darkness to come to Ruan Tong's house. All the servants in Ruan Tong's house had left, and the room was very dark. Yan Daoming lighted up the lights at a familiar place, and then saw Ruan Tong with disheveled hair sitting on the bed.

Ruan Tong's appearance is good, otherwise Yan Daoming would not have taken a fancy to him back then.

"Daoming, what should I do?" Ruan Tong said disappointedly, he was the one who was sorry for Ji Jing, but that day he thought Ji Jing was already asleep, and she never came to his study, but what he didn't expect to happen still happened, Ruan Thong still remembers the embarrassment of being found out with a man.

He likes men and can't be hard on women, that's why he married Ji Jing who suffers from heart disease, so that no one else will find out his secret.

Yan Daoming walked over and hugged him tightly: "She died of a heart attack, what does it have to do with you, after the wind blows, no one will mention it again."

His words didn't comfort Ruan Tong much, Yan Daoming was a little impatient, he pushed Ruan Tong down, and began to kiss him, Ruan Tong was unwilling to say: "When is this, are you still thinking about this?"

Yan Daoming said: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, no matter how sad you are."

After speaking, he tore off Ruan Tong's pants, Ruan Tong was teased by him, his consciousness was occupied by desire, because he couldn't help this desire, he would not have the courage to mess with Yan Daoming back then, when Yan Daoming saw him The uncontrollable eyes sneered in his heart.

Ruan Tong rested his head on the pillow and said, "Hurry up..."

Yan Daoming leaned on his back and asked, "Have you ever told Ji Jing about those things about me?"

Ruan Tong opened his eyes wide and said, "What do you mean?"

Yan Daoming said: "My relationship with you must not be exposed, so I can only apologize to you."

Ruan Tong realized something was wrong, but Yan Daoming pushed back hard, he yelled, and then found that his neck was strangled by the belt, he opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound, and then slowly lost consciousness.

Yan Daoming got up from Ruan Tong's body, and then began to put on his clothes. After putting on his own clothes, he hung Ruan Tong on the beam, pretending to commit suicide, and then began to search in Ruan Tong's study, finding What should be taken away, Yan Daoming glanced at Ruan Tong on the beam when he left, and he said: "When you go out for the funeral, I will burn a man there for you, so that you won't be lonely down here."

He left without looking back, and Ruan Tong's body was found five days later, because the former servant left something in Ruan's house, and the body was already smelly when found.

Because he was a master, Yan Daoming came forward to have Ruan Tong's body restrained, and then buried him in the cemetery of Lintai Town. It was the Ghost Face Tree, but none of those people were spared after the investigation, and Yan Daoming's reputation was unprecedentedly good, and people called him an upright official.

Chongyulou supported the belly that was about to give birth and said: "Is this the end of this matter?"

Shi Dao held his hand and said, "Not necessarily."

On the second day after the two said this, a human face grew out of the bare ghost-faced tree.
