Chapter 037 The lame man is dead! The Taoist priest makes conditions
It was almost dawn before Zhao Chunyue went back.
When Jiang Xiu woke up, Zhao Chunyue told her that she was not feeling well and had to wait two days to go to the county.
Jiang Xiu responded sensibly, her eyes falling on her mother's neck.
"Mom, you'd better wear something with a higher collar." After saying that, she went out.
Zhao Chunyue was startled and quickly touched her neck, feeling a stinging pain.
Wang Laizi, the one born in the year of the dog, made her neck look like this!
Her face suddenly turned pale.
What does Xiuxiugang mean? Did she find out?
Impossible, Xiuxiu is not married, how could she possibly know what this is?
And her calm attitude just now didn't seem like she knew.
Maybe you thought it was a mosquito bite, so take care of yourself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chunyue breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Zhao Chunyue took out a paper bag from the hidden drawer, quietly left home and came to Wang Zizi's house at the entrance of the village.
Wang Laizi was naturally happy when he saw her coming to his door, and the two got close to each other.
Wang Laizi hugged Zhao Chunyue and felt that this woman was old and unfit, but her daughter was very pretty.
Wang Laizi felt itchy just thinking about it.
"My dear, when will you bring your daughter to make me happy?"
"It'll take a few days." Zhao said, holding back her nausea.
She found an opportunity to pour the white powder into the tea, turned around and left.
You lame man, you insulted me and dared to miss my daughter, you should die!
This cripple Wang is a scourge. If we solve it directly, she can go to the county with peace of mind!
The moonlight reflected her ferocious face, like a ghost.
…
The next day.
Wang Laizi was found dead at home.
The first person to notice was the neighbor next door. The hoe at home was missing. He thought it was Wang Laizi who had taken it, so he went to look for him.
As a result, when he opened the door, he saw Wang Laizi lying on the ground, face down.
The neighbor shouted twice but got no response. When he got closer and pushed, he found that the person was already stiff.
In such a small village, the death of a person is a big deal, and word quickly spreads in the village.
Naturally, it also reached Jiang Yao’s ears.
"Wang Laizi is dead?" Jiang Yao said in surprise and glanced at Zhao.
Zhao subconsciously turned her eyes away and took Jiang Xiu to watch the fun.
Jiang Yao felt Zhao's guilty conscience, and based on her feeling, this matter had something to do with Zhao.
Jiang Yao asked Tian Bao and Gou Zai to stay at home, and went to watch the fun with Mrs. Cheng.
When I arrived at Wang Laizi's house, I saw that his door was crowded with people.
"This cripple Wang was fine yesterday, why is he dead today?"
"My face is blue and I'm foaming at the mouth, as if I'm possessed by a ghost."
"This cripple Wang has killed so many wives. He must have come back to take revenge."
"If you don't do good things on weekdays, you should get retribution. You deserve it!"
"Hey, everyone is dead, so let's build up some moral integrity."
The villagers were talking a lot.
Because the cripple Wang had a bad reputation, when he died, many people in the village were gloating about his misfortune, a few were lamenting, and almost no one was sad.
Jiang Yao squeezed to the front and saw a person lying in the door with a straw mat covering his face.
"My face is blue and I'm foaming at the mouth. Isn't that because I've been poisoned?"
Jiang Yao said and walked up, directly lifting the straw mat covering Cripple Wang.
A blackened and stiff face was revealed, making the villagers take two steps back in fright.
Jiang Yao stared at Wang Laizi. At this glance, she was sure that Wang Laizi was poisoned.
"What poisoned him to death? Why did Wang Laizi poison himself for no reason?"
The village chief was a middle-aged man. He scolded Jiang Yao and covered the straw mat at the same time.
"Village Chief, I have seen people who died from eating rat poison, just like him. He couldn't have taken it on his own initiative, so he was probably poisoned to death, right?" Jiang Yao continued.
"What's poisoning? The people in Qingmu Village and our neighbors are very kind, how could someone poison us?" the village chief quickly objected.
The village chief actually had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to delve into the matter. First, because Wang Laizi had no family and had a bad reputation, so he died immediately. Second, if it was involved in a murder case, the government would come to investigate, and they would have no control over their Qingmu Village.
Bad reputation.
So, he wanted to make this matter simple.
"Village Chief, this is a human life after all, we can't just let it go." Jiang Yao said righteously.
"Oh, please stop causing trouble," the village chief said, angered by her. "Folks, Wang Laizi doesn't have any family members. We in the village should all contribute some money to bury him."
"Village Chief, I don't think this matter can be let go like this. What if Wang Laizi is really killed by someone, and such a vicious person is among us, can we feel at ease?" Jiang Yaoji continued.
When Jiang Yao said this, she did not actually want to avenge Wang Laizi.
This cripple Wang is a domestic violence man. Jiang Yao hates domestic violence men the most in her life. She will die a hundred times!
However, she felt that this was Zhao's doing.
She still remembers all the bad things that Zhao's mother and daughter did to her.
She is a person who is determined to retaliate, so naturally she cannot let go of the opportunity to take revenge.
Jiang Yao's words moved some villagers.
Yes, Wang Laizi will die when he dies. What if this vicious person is from the village and poisons them in the future...
While the village chief was still hesitating, a lazy voice came out.
"I feel a strong sense of resentment. This cripple Wang died an untimely death. We must find the real culprit who killed him, otherwise his resentment will condense into an evil ghost and cause trouble to the village!" Ji Lingxiao's voice was lazy, but his words were very serious.
It is lethal.
Everyone in the village became panicked, and even the village chief was not calm anymore.
"Since the Taoist priest said that Wang Laizi was killed by someone, he must have been killed by someone else. Taoist priest, do you know who harmed him?" The village chief looked at Ji Lingxiao.
Ji Lingxiao's expression was enigmatic, and his eyes slid over the villagers' faces, taking in the expressions of everyone.
Some people lowered their heads...
The village chief looked at him expectantly.
Ji Lingxiao: "I don't know."
village head:"……"
"But the murderer must be from the village, right, Taoist Priest?" Jiang Yao asked.
At the same time, he blinked at Ji Lingxiao, asking him to cooperate.
Seeing this fierce woman asking for something from him, Ji Lingxiao felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
"Yes, in the village. So no one is allowed to leave the village until the murderer is found." Ji Lingxiao said.
"If the murderer escapes, it will be other people in the village who will be harmed. Therefore, be sure to watch your neighbors." Ji Lingxiao continued.
The villagers nodded one after another.
"Then Taoist priest, when will we know who the murderer is? We have to go to the town to make a living, so we have to leave the village, right?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Ji Lingxiao thought for a while and gestured with two fingers: "It only takes two days to summon the soul and ask."
The villagers had no objections now and just begged Ji Lingxiao to find the murderer quickly and give them peace.
"Also, put the body here and don't let anyone touch it." Ji Lingxiao added.
The village chief nodded quickly.
After the matter was settled, the villagers each had their own tasks and left one after another.
Zhao and Jiang Xiu walked together, their heads lowered, their faces as pale as paper, and their hearts full of panic and fear.
She hated Jiang Yao so much.
If Jiang Yao hadn't been meddling, then Wang Laizi would have buried him casually. What would have happened?!
Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Yao walked last.
"You really want to find the murderer, right?" Ji Lingxiao said, "For two days, I was in a good mood, but not necessarily in a bad mood."
A clear threat.
She thinks the murderer must be Zhao, but she needs evidence.
This depends on Ji Lingxiao...
"Then how can you be in a good mood?" Jiang Yao asked with a smile on her face.
"Braised pork trotters, stewed duck with potatoes, ribs soup... By the way, if you pair it with rice wine, you will feel better." Ji Lingxiao made the conditions like a lion's mouth.
"Okay, just wait, I'll satisfy you." Jiang Yao said with a smile.
