Mr. Kezaku

102 Water Ghost 4

When the boss of the Wang family said this, the two old people almost fainted from fright, but the boss of the Wang family was still stuck in his memories, his body was still shaking, and his memories were not over yet.

The boss of the Wang family continued: "Later...the second child suddenly...suddenly..."

The second son of the Wang family was hit on the head, bleeding a lot, and suddenly fell down and couldn't move.The boss of the Wang family didn't know what was going on. When he got up and looked at it, he was dumbfounded. He was stunned. He never thought that he would kill someone, and even killed his own brother.

The boss of the Wang family was at a loss. He was very scared, panting wildly, grabbing his hair, and messing himself up.But he couldn't cry out, because he was afraid of attracting others, and he couldn't imagine that everyone would look at him like a monster after knowing this.

The boss of the Wang family just calmed down for a while, and he quickly thought of a way.That was last night, the second child asked me to do it.Everyone has already believed that there are water ghosts. An absurd idea popped into the head of the Wang family. Why don't you just use the trick...

He hurriedly tidied up the body of the second child, and recombed his hair so that it covered the wound.Yes, the bloodstains need to be cleaned up quickly, and there should be no bloodstains on the body of the corpse, otherwise it will be exposed.

The boss of the Wang family was pale and sweating. He quickly disposed of the corpse and cleaned up the blood in the ancestral hall.He almost forgot to cover up his wound. When others saw his wound, they would definitely ask what happened.

The boss of the Wang family endured the pain again, bandaged his wound and covered it with clothes.

After all this was done, he temporarily hid the body in the ancestral hall. Usually no one would come here, so it was very safe.

At this time, the boss of the Wang family was already sweating. He found people from other families, and everyone went to the lake to salvage them.

The small place is already superstitious, not to mention that the boss of the Wang family saw the water ghost with his own eyes, so everyone believed it even more, and they all came out to help.

However, at this time, the body of the second son of the Wang family was not in the water at all, so how could it be salvaged.Only the boss of the Wang family knows this, and he must not let other people know.

Everyone salvaged the whole morning, but they had no clue at all. At noon, they could only rest temporarily, and they all went back to cook and eat.

The boss of the Wang family also used this period of time to quietly transport the corpse out of the ancestral hall while there was no one around the lake, then brought the corpse to the lake, and threw the corpse in the lake, so that someone would see it later.

Soon, the girl from the Li family found the body, and almost everyone was shocked.Everyone firmly believes in the saying that the water ghost kills, but unfortunately, there are a few people from outside the village.

Later, Chu Yuyang and the others intervened in the case, and it seemed that they wanted to continue the investigation.Originally, the boss thought that when the officials came, they would ask at most and nothing would happen.But it was different now, he felt that Chu Yuyang was unusual, and he had to find a way to hide it from them.

So in a hurry, the boss of the Wang family thought of the story he had made up, the story about seeing a water ghost with his own eyes.

The boss of the Wang family thought of a way to pretend to be a ghost, let them see the water ghost with their own eyes, and make them believe in it, so that they will believe that the case was done by the water ghost.

The boss of the Wang family is actually very smart, but if he didn't have this little trick, he wouldn't be exposed so quickly.

The most difficult problems in this world are not those seemingly unbelievable and weird events, but the most ordinary and seemingly ordinary things, which are really confusing.

The boss of the Wang family made a puppet, a very simple puppet, and you don't need to look carefully to see the flaws.But fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and it was cloudy and it was going to rain heavily. It was so dark, who could see it clearly?

He put a long fishing line on the puppet, tied the two boats together, and slid to the middle of the lake with the puppet.

He erected the doll on the boat, and then rowed away in another boat.At this time, the boss of the Wang family was hiding in the pile of weeds on the right bank, and he was still holding a thin fishing line in his hand.

It was too dark to see anything clearly, and the fishing line was still in the water. Who would have noticed a thin line here?Even the boss of the Wang family looked carefully, but felt that he couldn't see it at all.

What a neat trick.

Soon, Chu Yuyang and the others came. They came to the lake and saw the black shadow in the middle of the lake.

When the boss of the Wang family saw them, his nervous hands were sweating, and he was shaking all over. He was extremely afraid and frightened in his heart. He actually hoped that none of this would happen. It would be best if nothing happened at all. The second child doesn't have to die.

The boss of the Wang family pulled the fishing line hard, and everyone was too far away from the black shadow, and they couldn't even hear the sound of "plop", and saw the black shadow jumping into the water.The black shadow was pulled by the thin thread and fell into the water.Since the puppet is made very heavy, it will not float up after it falls into the water.

Sure enough, Chu Yuyang and the others saw the same story as the boss of the Wang family narrated, they were extremely surprised, boarded the boat and rowed towards the middle of the lake where the accident happened.

This process was even more perfect and smooth than the boss of the Wang family expected.

The boss of the Wang family has been watching their every move closely. He is afraid that Chu Yuyang and the others will find out that the thin thread and dolls in the water are fake.

Chu Yuyang and the others rowed to the middle of the lake. The second son of the Wang family was already sweating in panic. He was hesitating when to pull the thin thread. Too early or too late is not good, so Chu Yuyang and the others would not be able to find out. Puppet, can not play the role of scaring.

Princess Hongxia's loud scream was simply a signal to the boss of the Wang family.The boss of the Wang family heard the scream across the lake, he knew it was the best time, and immediately pulled up the string, and the puppet was quickly dragged to the right bank and swam quickly.

The puppet is dead, it has no life at all, it doesn't need to breathe, and it swims so fast that it is impossible for Chu Yuyang and the others to catch up with them by rowing a boat.What's more, Chu Yuyang and the others were frightened by the sudden shock, and even threw an oar into the water.

The boss of the Wang family was too excited, and he was too scared, so he didn't pay attention at all. The thin thread cut the weeds and cut his hand.He pulled the puppet up, and took the puppet to hide in the weeds, not daring to move casually, for fear that Chu Yuyang and the others would see something unusual here.

Fortunately, after waiting for a short time, Chu Yuyang and the others left. It seemed that his plan had worked.The boss of the Wang family is in a complicated mood at this time. He should be happy, but he can't laugh, but wants to cry loudly.

The ground by the lake is wet and soft, and it is easy to leave footprints, but it is not difficult.The boss of the Wang family dragged his heavy puppet and dragged the puppet behind him. Even if he left footprints like this, but after the puppet passed by, the heavy drag marks would erase the footprints, so only Drag marks, and no footprints.

Next, the boss of the Wang family took his puppet up the mountain, where he was very familiar with. When he got up halfway up the mountain, he saw a cliff and threw the puppet directly, so that no one would notice it. .

The boss of the Wang family recalled, and slowly told, his face turned pale and ugly, and his voice became hoarse.

Chu Yuyang interrupted him and asked, "Where is that book? Isn't there a book enshrined in the ancestral hall? The second brother wanted to steal the book, but he died. Now, where is the book?"

The boss of the Wang family was taken aback for a moment, as if he was thinking, then shook his head and said, "It's gone!"

"Gone?"

Everyone who heard his words was stunned. The two elders of the Wang family had tears streaming down their faces at this moment. They obviously didn't believe what he said, and they yelled for him to hand over the book.

The boss of the Wang family said: "I, I really didn't, I didn't take it, that book suddenly disappeared!"

The eldest of the Wang family said that he saw the second child put the book in his arms with his own eyes, and that the second child wanted to steal the book, so the two of them had a dispute.

only……

At that time, the situation was too hasty, and the boss of the Wang family didn't care about the book when someone died.The book has always been placed in the arms of the second son of the Wang family.Later, the boss of the Wang family returned and brought the body to the lake. He finally remembered the book and planned to take it out and send it back quietly.

However, the book is gone!

The boss of the Wang family watched the second child put the book in his arms with his own eyes, but now he disappeared out of thin air!

The boss of the Wang family searched the corpse for a long time, but he couldn't find a single page, and the book just disappeared.He knew that he couldn't waste any more time, and he was afraid that someone would see him, so he could only run the body into the lake first.

The book disappeared, and I don't know where it went or who took it.

When the boss of the Wang family thought about it carefully, he felt that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. If someone took the book away, the body must have been found, then...

He didn't dare to think about it any more.

Chu Yuyang frowned and asked, "Then when you left the ancestral hall, was the ancestral hall tidy?"

The boss of the Wang family nodded and said, "Yes."

The old Wang family naturally didn't want people to pay more attention to the ancestral hall, and didn't want people to know that this was the scene of the crime, so they cleaned up the ancestral hall, closed the opened boxes, and put them away neatly.

However, after someone yelled that the treasure was lost, they went to the ancestral hall to look at it together. The box where the treasure was placed was opened, and it seemed that someone went in again, but they returned in vain.

Princess Hongxia immediately frowned, whispered to Chu Yuyang, and said, "Chu Yuyang, the person who took away the book is Mr. Xiao."

Chu Yuyang shook his head, indicating that he was still unclear.

Although Mr. Xiao lived under the same roof as them, his whereabouts were mysterious. During the time of the accident, he was never seen at all, so this is really hard to say.

Princess Hongxia's speculation is entirely because Mr. Xiao seems to be very interested in that book.

Princess Hongxia pursed her lips, and said with a pensive look on her face, "Have we been tricked by that Mr. Xiao? In fact, he stole the book first, and then asked you to write a letter of war? "

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "I think so, although Mr. Xiao looks like..."

"It's pretty?" Princess Hongxia said immediately, and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Xingduan who was beside Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang: "..."

Zhao Xingduan looked over silently, and Chu Yuyang immediately said: "What a pretty thing! I mean, although Mr. Xiao looks like he has a second-degree illness, he shouldn't be so despicable. Only come when you find something. It's too boring to compete in the book of war, like a child who hasn't been weaned."

"I can't tell." Princess Hongxia muttered.

The boss of the Wang family admitted that he had killed someone, but he did not admit that he had stolen the book.The murder case is considered closed, but the boss of the Wang family is not enough to constitute the crime of murder for death.After all, in this era, manslaughter is already free, not to mention that in this series of processes, the boss of the Wang family can also be regarded as self-defense killing.

Chu Yuyang could only say one thing, that she could not live without doing her own crimes.

The two elders of the Wang family knelt down and begged Chu Yuyang not to tell other people in the village about this matter.They have already lost a son, no matter how bad the second child is, it is still their own, and it is already very sad.They didn't want the eldest son to be unable to hold his head up and carry too heavy a burden.

Perhaps for the elderly, this decision is contradictory. They feel that they are sorry for their second child, but they have no choice.In a sense, the second child is indeed self-inflicted.

Chu Yuyang agreed, and he had no reason not to agree.He is just an outsider to this village. He may leave this village tomorrow and never come back again, but the members of the Wang family may want to live here for generations.

Chu Yuyang felt that he had never been a person whose rationality prevailed over sensibility. Speaking of which, he felt that he was more emotional and a person who emphasized emotion.So he is not a person who insists on sticking to the truth and giving up everything.

To outsiders, this case is an unsolved case. The unsolved case of water ghost murder will never be solved.

The official servant who came to handle the case seemed a little disappointed. Master Qing Chu of Dali Temple, who was rumored to be miraculous, didn't seem to be that powerful?

The murderer was found, but the case was never closed.Not only was it impossible to tell everyone who the murderer was, but also the book, which was written in unknown characters, seemed to be very important to the people in the village.They are still apprehensive.

It was late at night, and it was already midnight when they came back from Wang's house.They had just returned to the little girl's house, only to find that there were other people in the house.

The little girl hurriedly introduced to them the old couple who suddenly appeared, who turned out to be the little girl's parents.

Chu Yuyang was a little surprised. Looking at the little girl, she felt that it was a little impolite to say it, but she still felt very strange. The old couple looked like the little girl's grandparents no matter how old they were.

The old couple seemed to be in good health, Princess Hongxia had seen these two people before.The little girl was not their own, but a picked child who has been kept by their side.

The little girl asked: "Father and mother, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say several days?"

The old woman looked sad and said, "Well, we planned to come back in a few days, and the business has not been finished yet, but suddenly someone said that something happened in the village, so..."

I guess it was because someone went out of the village to report to the officials, so the news got out.

The old woman said: "Unexpectedly, during the time we left, not only people died in the village, but...the book was lost..."

Chu Yuyang thought that the little girl's parents were literate, so she hurriedly asked, "What is that book for? Why is it so precious?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't know much, and I can't even read. He is the only one in this village who can understand."

As the old woman spoke, she turned to look at her wife beside her, but the old man was obviously absent-minded, as if he didn't hear what the old woman said.

When the old woman mentioned the old man, everyone's eyes were on him.

Zhao Xingduan frowned, the old man was staring at Chu Yuyang, his eyes seemed extremely serious, and he was still thinking about something.

Chu Yuyang was also taken aback, she didn't pay attention just now, but now her eyes met the old man's, which was a bit strange.

"Old man, what's the matter?" The old woman was also surprised.

The old man finally came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "I'm so tired, I almost fell asleep."

"You are tired enough these days, then you should hurry into the house and rest, I will greet the guests." The old woman said.

The little girl hurriedly said: "Father and mother, you all go, I will greet the guests."

Princess Hongxia said: "What are you still saying, it's so late, we should have a rest."

It was indeed very late, and everyone dispersed, and went into the house to rest.

It is impossible to rush back to the capital on the road now, but fortunately there is no need to go to court tomorrow, and Zhao Xingduan occasionally disappears overnight, so no one will come looking for him.

Zhao Xingduan led Chu Yuyang back to the room, closed the door, and then said: "The old man has some problems."

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "He has been staring at you."

Chu Yuyang touched her face and said, "Ah, maybe I'm too handsome, oh, you know, I'm handsome for all ages."

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan heard that Chu Yuyang had started to be unruly again, and said, "He also knows some martial arts."

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said in surprise, "That old man knows martial arts?"

Chu Yuyang said: "By the way, he didn't say what the book was for after all."

Zhao Xingduan was silent for a while.

Chu Yuyang jumped up again, leaned against the wall next to her, and put her ear against the wall.

Zhao Xingduan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yuyang whispered, "That Mr. Xiao lives next door."

Zhao Xingduan frowned.

Chu Yuyang said: "I didn't see him just now, I don't know if he is still here."

Zhao Xingduan said: "There is a sound of breathing next door, but the person is still there."

The corner of Chu Yuyang's mouth twitched, and said, "Can you hear this?"

Chu Yuyang sat back and said, "That Mr. Xiao is very mysterious. I don't see what he did. What does he mean? What exactly does he want to do?"

Chu Yuyang felt that she was going to be confused.

Zhao Xingduan also couldn't understand, then shook his head.

Perhaps even Qiao Jiyan himself, next door, couldn't understand.

It was dark next door with no candles lit.Qiao Jiyan was sitting at the table in black, he was pressing something under his hand, and he could vaguely see an outline, like a book that was neither thin nor thick.

Qiao Jiyan's eyes were closed, but it didn't look like he was asleep, because the eyeballs under his eyelids were still rolling, moving from time to time, making people feel that he was actually thinking.

Qiao Jiyan heard Chu Yuyang's voice next door. Although his martial arts were not as good as Zhao Xingduan's, he could still hear Chu Yuyang's loud voice.

He couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't, because he heard Chu Yuyang asking what he wanted to do?

"What do you want to do..."

Qiao Jiyan murmured a sentence, then looked down at the book under his hand.

A book that looks like it's been a few years old. It looks very ordinary and doesn't even have a title. However, the words inside are written neatly and smeared. It seems that they didn't think about it when they wrote it, and many places have been revised.

Qiao Jiyan looked at this book and became embarrassed. What is he going to do?

Keep this book, or take it back to Xiao Yu?

With this book, perhaps Zhao Xingduan will soon become Xiao Yu's defeated opponent!Great Zhao may soon no longer be Great Zhao, but a small country of Zhao, which will become a subordinate state of Great Xiao!

But Qiao Jiyan hesitated again.

Today, he met Zhao Xingduan, and seeing how Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang got along, it seemed nothing unusual, but it made him envious.

He could feel that Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang got along very naturally, and there was no room for others to intervene between them.

Qiao Jiyan was envious and jealous at the same time. He thought that he and Xiao Yu would never get along like this in a lifetime.

Because Xiao Yu always had too many important things to do, Qiao Jiyan was simply not a number in his heart.

Qiao Jiyan used to be very obsessed with his feelings. He told Qiao Zhongyin that he didn't want to leave Xiao Yu, and he never wanted to.But people are always tired, and when they are exhausted, everything is over.

When he saw Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang, he suddenly felt ridiculous.What kind of feelings does Xiao Yu have for him? Maybe he likes him, but the weight is far from enough. It's so ridiculous that he can give up his feelings for him for anything.

But Zhao Xingduan would not, he would not abandon Chu Yuyang, no matter what the reason was.

Qiao Jiyan felt his eyes a little sour.

When the old couple returned to the room, the old woman couldn't help but ask, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."

The old woman was upset and said, "Is there anything else you can't tell me?"

"No, of course not." The old man said, "I just don't want you to worry."

"What's the matter?" the old woman asked.

The old man hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Have you noticed...that young man..."

"Which young man?" The old woman said in confusion, "Could it be the one you've been staring at?"

The old man nodded and said, "Do you think that he looks... looks like a person?"

"Looks like a person? Who do I look like? Why do I..." The old woman was taken aback, opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Like, like General Chu... Very similar, the momentum is incredible Like, but the face is very similar."

The old man immediately nodded and said, "When I saw him for the first time, I felt familiar. He really resembled him very much, just like General Chu when he was young, oh..."

The old man said with a heavy sigh.

The old woman also became excited and said, "Is he a descendant of General Chu? That young man is also surnamed Chu!"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's too late to say anything now! The book in the ancestral hall is gone, even if..."

The old woman frowned and asked, "Tell me, old man, what exactly is that book in the ancestral hall?"

The old man said: "That is, that is the relic of General Chu!"

The old woman said, "Of course I know, but why would someone come to steal that book? It's just a book. How could someone come to a place like this to steal a book? What's in the book?"

The old man said: "That book... is the last thing left by General Chu. It can be said to be the painstaking efforts of General Chu all his life. It is... a book on the art of war."

"Art of war?" The old woman opened her eyes wide.

It turned out that the book in the ancestral hall turned out to be the Art of War written by General Chu.Back then, General Chu was a well-known general who went to war in the north and south at a young age. There is no enemy who is not afraid of his reputation.At that time, even Da Xiao's army was defeated by him.At that time Xiao Yu hadn't become emperor yet, he was just an unfavored prince, but he could hear General Chu's name almost every day and how he defeated Da Xiao's army.

It's just a book on the art of war. Perhaps to many people, it is just a pile of bad paper. However, to some people, it is a priceless treasure. With it, you may be able to capture several cities in other countries, or even capital!

The old woman said, "Old man, do you know who stole this book?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. There are many people who don't understand this book, but there are countless people who want this book."

The old woman said: "By the way, old man, are they the people who came to our village last time? Those people who borrowed from Li's house? Didn't they want to pay for our treasures? They were not allowed to buy them later. Let's go, they don't seem very happy."

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, alas, if this treasure is lost, it may cause a catastrophe! What should we do!"

Everyone didn't sleep well that night, and perhaps only Chu Yuyang slept the best. He gave a heartless hiccup and got up from the bed, saying, "Duan'er, it's so cold, hurry up!" Bring me my clothes."

Zhao Xingduan had no choice but to take his clothes to him, and quickly put them all on for him.

Chu Yuyang just stretched out her hand, and leaned on Zhao Xingduan's body without bones, letting him support herself, and said, "Is it still raining outside?"

Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "It's already sunny."

Chu Yuyang said, "Is the sky sunny after the rain?"

The two of them came out after getting dressed, washed in the well water, Chu Yuyang's nose turned red from the cold again, and said, "My God, it's too cold."

The little girl finished her breakfast, and brought it to the living room with a smile on her face, and ran out to greet them to have dinner.

When Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan walked into the living room, they found Qiao Jiyan sitting there, eating a steamed bun politely.

Chu Yuyang was pleasantly surprised to find that the little girl really squeezed a pig's bun.

But the little girl blushed a little, and said: "It's the first pinch, and it doesn't look good, it looks a bit like a big dog."

Chu Yuyang couldn't help laughing while holding the steamed bun, and said, "No, no, it's very similar to Hongxia."

When Princess Hongxia and Song Pu came in, they heard Chu Yuyang say this...

Princess Hongxia was immediately annoyed, and rushed over to pinch Chu Yuyang's neck, saying: "Chu Yuyang, you slandered me early in the morning, you bullied a weak girl, are you interested?"

Chu Yuyang blinked, put the pig's steamed buns into Princess Hongxia's hand, and said, "You are indeed a mentally handicapped girl, but I think bullying you is the most interesting thing. Look at Duaner, even if I bully him, I will still be three-legged." Can't kick a fart."

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan stretched out his hand to pinch the back of Chu Yuyang's neck, Chu Yuyang immediately yelled "Oops", her hands and feet were numb, and was dragged back by Zhao Xingduan.

Chu Yuyang protested, "Don't pinch."

Zhao Xingduan said, "Be honest."

Chu Yuyang had no choice but to sit obediently beside Zhao Xingduan, holding a steamed bun in both hands, pitifully, like an angry little daughter-in-law, gnawing on her steamed bun.

"Chu Yuyang."

"what?"

Chu Yuyang was pretending to be pitiful, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, he immediately agreed, and only later realized that it was Mr. Xiao who called him.

Qiao Jiyan seemed to have finished his breakfast, put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, looked at him and said, "I have something to talk to you alone."

Zhao Xingduan immediately frowned, and put his hand on Chu Yuyang's.

Princess Hongxia immediately acted like an old hen guarding her chicks, and said, "Say it alone? You have bad intentions, what should you do if you want to play dirty tricks?"

Qiao Jiyan smiled and said, "You're right, I've never been a kind person, and I might be in danger. It's up to you whether you want to follow me or not."

Qiao Jiyan said that's all, he stood up and walked out, and soon his figure was about to disappear.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said, "Did something happen?"

Princess Hongxia immediately said: "Chu Yuyang, don't pay attention to him, he is not familiar with him."

Chu Yuyang took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "Why don't I go and have a look."

Zhao Xingduan gave him a cold look and said, "What if he is against you?"

Chu Yuyang said: "But I don't think he is...too bad?"

Although they received many mysterious letters from Qiao Jiyan one after another, and Qiao Jiyan even planned a conspiracy, the final result was reversed.

This man is scheming, but he is not necessarily a murderer who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

Chu Yuyang stood up, handed the steamed buns to Zhao Xingduan, and said, "I'll come back as soon as I go, you guys can have breakfast."

Zhao Xingduan's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

Princess Hongxia whispered, "Brother Duan, do we want to catch up?"

Chu Yuyang ran out of the house, and saw Qiao Jiyan's figure in the distance. Qiao Jiyan seemed to be going to the ancestral hall. Chu Yuyang followed, and soon arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and Qiao Jiyan walked in.

Chu Yuyang followed him in, and asked, "You asked me to come, and you still want me to come alone. You don't mean to confess your love?"

Qiao Jiyan sneered and said, "Not everyone likes the jokes you tell, and some people think you're annoying, you know?"

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Of course I know, but I like it. I like this way of life. They have the right not to like it, but they don't have the right to make me change it, right?"

Qiao Jiyan said, "You're right."

Qiao Jiyan looked at him and said, "Chu Yuyang, you are a kind person, sometimes you are too kind, do you know that?"

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Of course I know, I am a very good person."

Qiao Jiyan said: "Not everyone is as kind as you. Have you ever thought that the goodness of human nature is just a lie? Let those who have done heinous things, who can't find someone who can't be cleared of their crimes, be forgiven and redeemed reason? What an absurd reason."

Chu Yuyang thought for a while and said, "I haven't studied philosophy, so I really can't tell. But I know that when you were just born, you should have been a cute, kind, and scheming baby, right?"

Qiao Jiyan was taken aback for a moment, but didn't speak.

Chu Yuyang laughed and said, "But don't worry, you are not disabled now, you look pretty good-looking, you can be called a beauty."

Qiao Jiyan finally spoke up and said, "You come alone, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Then you should have done it just now, because most villains die from talking too much."

Qiao Jiyan stopped talking again, Chu Yuyang felt that the other party might be angry with him.

Qiao Jiyan suddenly took out something from his bosom, threw it at Chu Yuyang's feet with a "snap", and said, "Take it."

"What is it?" Chu Yuyang picked it up and asked.

Qiao Jiyan said, "Are you illiterate?"

Chu Yuyang said aggrievedly: "Young Master Xiao, have you always been this hot?"

Qiao Jiyan's face was a little ugly.

Chu Yuyang picked it up and took a closer look. It was a book. He couldn't help but look up at the box in the ancestral hall. Then he opened the book again, flipped through a few pages, and was confused. , simply turned to the first page, the first page is a narrative, as if it is the preface.

Chu Yuyang's eyes widened in surprise, this is a book on the art of war.He has imagined a lot, what kind of book can be called a treasure, is it the martial arts secrets in martial arts novels, after learning it, it will be the best in the world?

But that kind of number one in the world is too superficial, and a person's power is limited after all.

Chu Yuyang couldn't help but said, "So it's an art of war..."

What surprised Chu Yuyang even more was that this book had something to do with him, and the person who wrote this book turned out to be his father in this body, the deceased General Chu.

Chu Yuyang was in a complicated mood at this moment, he glanced at Qiao Jiyan, who seemed to know his identity.

Qiao Jiyan said: "The book has been returned to you, and the debt I owe to General Chu will be paid off. The next time we meet, we will have a real contest."

"Wait!" Chu Yuyang hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Why don't you leave halfway through the conversation. You have to tell me how you found this book!"

Qiao Jiyan was taken aback, and said, "Aren't you very smart? You can guess for yourself."

Chu Yuyang sighed and said, "Although I'm very smart, I don't want to waste my ingenuity. It's useless to explore things that have already had results, isn't it?"

Qiao Jiyan said: "I just picked it up from the girl of the Li family."

Chu Yuyang was startled, rolled her eyes twice, then widened her eyes, and said, "It turned out that she... took the book."

The body of the second son of the Wang family was thrown into the water by the eldest, and it was also the girl from the Li family who first discovered it.She said at the time that she came back to look for things by the lake, so she found the floating corpse.In fact, the girl from the Li family lied. She didn't come here to find anything at all, but came with the boss of the Wang family.

Some time ago, a group of people came here to play and heard that there was a treasure in the village, so they wanted to buy it.In fact, it was just a group of playboys who didn't even know it was a book on the art of war.They only think that what they have is money, and the less they can't get, the better.

That group happened to live in Li's family, and the girl from Li's family had a bad idea and wanted to steal the book secretly and sell it to that group.

The girl from the Li family is also the eldest, but the family is poor, and they can't even save the dowry.When she saw Princess Hongxia, she was envious and jealous, and even wanted to marry outside the village, but without money, she couldn't get out of the village at all.

The girl from the Li family had been stealing the ancestral hall for a long time, but she was hesitant and didn't find a chance to steal anything.

She was wandering outside the ancestral hall that day, and saw the boss of the Wang family come out in a hurry, looking extremely flustered.

She felt strange, so she went in to check, but she didn't find anything wrong. After all, the body was hidden, and she didn't find it for a while.

But the girl from the Li family discovered that the treasure in the box was gone!She immediately looked around like crazy, and then found the body of the second son of the Wang family, and found the book on the body.

The girl from the Li family was terrified. She had never seen a dead person before. She took the book and ran away.
