Over the Zhu Family Courtyard, the clouds, like a heavy black stage curtain, receded to one side, revealing a big yellow moon.Under the bare sky, the curling night wind rustled the branches of locust trees, and the sweet fragrance gradually filled the closed world.

After crying, Zhu Yao wiped away the tears all over her face with her sleeve, and straightened up.

The Min family offered tea.

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Zhu Yao looks about seven or eight times like his elder brother Zhu Xiao, except that he is smaller in stature and more elegant in temperament.He has been out mediating with merchants and peddlers all year round, so he is naturally a bit shrewd as a businessman. He took the tea, but didn't drink it, and put it in his hand. The funeral is a lot of work, my brother is grateful."

Min's hands were tied and his eyebrows were pressed, and he stood quietly and listened carefully.

"It's just..." Generally, the main text comes after "just". Zhu Yao shot a questioning look, "It's just that Rong'er died in such an inexplicable way, it's really disgraceful. Does the murderer have any clues?"

"Bad people?" Min's face was weird, looking around as if he was afraid of something, and then covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said like a mosquito, "My sister-in-law died because she broke Chicun's rules. The first of the three rules, Don't go out in the middle of the night. She doesn't believe it, and now she broke the rules and was severely punished by ghosts and gods, where did she come from?"

Her timid and chattering appearance obviously offended Second Young Master Zhu.

"Sister-in-law is absurd! It's just a superstitious talk that deceives a three-year-old child, and you actually take it seriously? You are so confused!" Zhu Yao slapped the table and stood up, frowning coldly. Find your eldest brother, and I will listen to him."

"Your elder brother..." Min's expression was not natural, and he evasively said, "My husband is being grounded in the woodshed at the moment, mother said, said..."

She faltered and couldn't explain why.

How should I put it, say that your brother is having an affair with your wife?You have green hair like me?

"What kind of heinous crime is this?" Zhu Yao went home, touched his head, drank a whole cup of tea, and threw his hands at Min, "You put the firewood Give me the key, and I will ask him myself."

"Also, let's not go." Min-shi stepped back, "I'm also doing it for your own good, and what's more, my mother said that without her permission, no one can visit..."

Zhu Yao intuited that the Min family's pushy attitude was very strange, so he deliberately aggravated his tone and put pressure on him: "Sister-in-law, you have to understand that the Zhu family's surname is Zhu, not Min, let alone Zhang!"

Zhang is the surname of the mistress of the Zhu family. Ever since she was given the surname of her husband and her relatives and friends of the same generation gradually died out, no one has mentioned the old lady Zhu's surname before she got married for many years.Changing the course is a process of gradual infiltration. At some point, the whole family realized that the old lady had become Zhu Jiaming's superficial controller, the brain and backbone of the Zhu family.

But in the final analysis, no matter how powerful she is, she is just an outsider.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yao's trick of begging for the key is to take the opportunity to knock, so that the people below can see clearly whose Zhu family this Zhu family belongs to.

Min was silent, took off the key obediently, and offered it with both hands.

The "borrowed refugees" who survived today all know who the murderer is.

Jiang Yu looked at the weak and gentle Min family on the surface, but secretly chopped up his sister-in-law with a hatchet, and the tailbone couldn't help but feel cold.

"I kind of admire this npc's acting skills."

"Put it outside, she must be the queen of the Skyhawk Awards."

"Look at that submissive look in her eyes, not deliberate or pretentious at all, really, I want to applaud."

"Learn more."

The duo of Jiang Yu and Zhou Qi kept buzzing in their ears, Xu Chi sighed, and moved two steps away from the noise source.

Zhu Yao took the key and was not in a hurry to find the firewood room. He was deeply in distress and couldn't pull out the role of the second male. He insisted on ignoring everyone's obstruction and uncovered the shroud on Su's body in the coffin.

It turned out that according to the local custom, the coffin had to be left open before the chosen day for sealing the coffin, so that all the relatives who came to express their condolences could look at the remains.Normally, the face of the deceased will not be covered with a cloth. On the contrary, the face of the deceased must be groomed and groomed, so that the deceased will be buried in a clean and tidy manner as before his death.

But the Su family died so badly that no one dared to touch them, so hastily gathered up the body parts, rolled them up in a mat, and threw them into this expensive coffin.

At this moment, as soon as Zhu Yaofu lifted the white cloth, he met a pair of dead eyes that were dazed, gray and soaked in blood. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and the color on his distressed face faded.

Not to mention him, Xu Chi couldn't help turning his head away.

"Can't you see this?" Zhou Qi caught his subtle movements.

"I haven't seen many." Xu Chi didn't deny it, "The corpses I've seen are fresher than the last."

Zhou Qi: "..."

He became more and more curious about Xu Chi's identity.

The second young master of the Zhu family is not a thing in the pool, he was not scared away after being so frightened, he climbed back after doing mental training on the spot, and gently stroked Su's messy temple hair.The onlookers watched with trepidation, and someone whispered: There is no normal person in the Zhu family!

It's really pitiful for his wife to die so tragically. Zhu Yao recovered from the grief of being overwhelmed, and was so angry that he smashed the tea bowls and saucers all over the ground.With a stern voice, he yelled and asked the Min family to report to the officials, find a witness for an autopsy, and vowed to catch the murderer.

Mrs. Min hesitated for a while, seeing his hysterical state, she didn't dare to say anything more, turned her head and went down and ordered her servants to report to the police overnight.

The pain of losing his wife was so painful that his body was seriously injured. After Zhu Yao had a seizure, exhaustion appeared in his bloodshot eyes. He stood beside the coffin with his hips crossed for a long time.Everyone could see that this real husband was really sad.

Jiang Yu recited the poem about green again.

Zhou Qi hummed the background sound to accompany the food: "I love you but you love him, my heart is broken for you..."

Xu Chi took another step, and continued to distance himself from the pair of live treasures, keeping an eye on Zhu Yao's every move.

After a stick of incense, Zhu Yao's dilated pupils suddenly constricted. He reached into the coffin and took out a bloody purse along a bit of tassel exposed outside.

The purse is embroidered with cross-necked mandarin ducks, with the word "Rong" embroidered with golden silk thread on the front and the word "Zhu" on the back.

Whether this "Zhu" is "Zhu Yao" or "Zhu Xiao" is unknown.

Zhu Yao was still kept in the dark, of course he thought it could only be him, holding the purse sadly and nostalgicly looking at it over and over again, shaking it, there was a clear and pleasant bell sound in the purse.He moved slightly, pulled the rope at the mouth of the beam, and poured out the contents.

——A longevity lock made of sterling silver, used to ward off evil and avoid misfortune.

Holding the longevity lock, Zhu Yao thought of something, and suddenly the situation on his face changed, cloudy and sunny.

Xu Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, this longevity lock looked familiar.

At this time, the Min family who had just been sent out came back, and the uncle was leaning on the coffin with his back to her, thinking about something.

"Second brother, mother called you to ask questions." Mrs. Min conveyed the old lady's words.

Unexpectedly, this soft voice made Zhu Yao jump, Zhu Yao let out a cry, turned around in a hurry, ran into Min Shi head-on, and hurriedly stuffed the purse and longevity lock into his arms in a panic.

"Second brother hiding something in his bosom?" Min asked.

"No, it's nothing, it's just Rong'er's purse, keep it for thought. Mother looking for me? I'll go right away."

Zhu Yao didn't dare to look directly at Min's eyelashes, and hurried out of the mourning hall with his head down.

Min watched his staggering back go away until it disappeared at the corner, she raised her slender fingers to stroke her temple hair behind her ears, slowly showed a creepy smile, straightened the collar of the mourning dress and said to herself: " According to Chicun's rules, two things are not allowed to pick up dead people's belongings."

"Mother, how long will father be imprisoned?" At this time, the girl who had been quietly by Min's side seldom spoke.

The tone of this sentence is flat, the voice is cold, and it is extremely lacking in the warmth and ups and downs that she should have at her age.

"Yun'er is good." Mrs. Min took her daughter's hand and patted it, "You go and deliver some food to Wenyu first. Don't worry, your father will come out naturally when grandma's anger subsides. Go, don't worry." Jiao Wenyu is hungry."

Zhu Wenyun frowned, and there was a lively expression on her young and mature face.

Xu Chi recognized the emotions of hatred and contempt.

"My little brother likes jujube paste cakes, so I'll tell the cook to prepare them."

The girl was reserved, even if she was very displeased, she didn't show it on her face, she lightly brushed her mother's hand, and turned to leave.

"What a sensible little girl." Zhou Zhinan commented.

"How can you be sensible." A cold voice snorted next to your ear, "I'm wronged, just don't talk about it."

Zhou Qi was stunned when he heard the words, and turned his head to look for the speaker, but only found a back that was as straight as a knife.

After watching today's drama, Xu Chi felt sleepy, and went back to Datong shop to catch up on sleep without eating dinner.

Little Immortal Leng Qiu didn't care to look at the face today, after Xu Chi left, she also threw away her chopsticks and got up to leave the table.

"Hey little sister, don't be in a hurry to leave." A big hand was pressed on his shoulder abruptly, Leng Qiu was forced by external force to sit back on the bench again, and raised his eyes to look at the source of the shadow above his head.

——It was the prisoner next to the admiral who didn't look like a good person.

"Uncle, what do you want me to do?" Leng Qiu pretended to be cute.

"It's okay." Zhou Qi withdrew his hand, sat down beside her, with his thighs crossed, and pointed to himself with a smile, "I'll figure it out even if I want you."

Leng Qiu glanced at him with a half-smile, and played the piano on the table with one hand for a while, wondering: "Today is very fierce, it's not suitable to look at the face, little uncle, let's wait another day."

"Is there still this taboo?" Zhou Qi seemed to be deliberately finding fault with a difficult customer, and clicked, "Then let's not watch it for now, let me ask you something."

Leng Qiu blinked, pursed her lips, and the pear dimples on her cheeks sank in: "Do you want to inquire about that Mr. Xu? Brother Jiang Yu?"

Zhou Qi snorted: "Who cares about that brat surnamed Jiang?"

That's another one.

Leng Qiu felt tricky.The admiral deliberately concealed his identity, and this man seemed to have discovered some clues.

Because normally speaking, ordinary people should be more interested in the invisible rich man Jiang Yu, rather than the sickly Xu Chi.

Zhou Qi scratched his nose, leaned closer, and said in a deep voice, "We Ming people don't swear, you two knew each other before, right?"

"I know people in the world, but people in the world don't know me." The little girl smiled like a magic stick, and went around bewildered.

Zhou Qi was patient and asked, "Where did he come from?"

"Come out of chaos."

"What did he do before?"

"Keeping a pure land."

"Is he born with that dog temper?"

"The trouble should end it."

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

"The phase is born from the heart."

Zhou Qi: "..."

If it weren't for the law on the protection of minors, he might have punched this inhuman girl away with one punch.
