When I arrived not far outside Yingxue House, I met a shadow.
"A woman in white clothes opened the corner door and went in." Shadow said, "I saw her carrying a lantern from a distance, and she put out the fire only when she got near Yingxue Residence. This is not something a ghost can do. thing."
"Go and call the village chief." Shen Yuyu said to Lin Yi.
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded, and quickly invited the village chief, clan chief and others to the scene, followed by many villagers who were watching the excitement. "Let's go and see what's going on." Ji Xundao, and then everyone came together. Go to Yingxue Residence.
Shen Yuyu had the key to the house, and as soon as the door was opened, everyone rushed into the house.
This house has been vacant for more than two years and has become overgrown with grass. The dilapidated window paper makes a hunting sound in the cold wind, all revealing the desolation.
"There are footprints." After walking not far through the yard, they found footprints in the snow. Everyone hurriedly followed the footprints to the outside of the east wing.
The door of the east wing was bolted from the inside, and there was faint movement inside.
Ji Yi kicked the door open and raised a lantern to shine in.
All I could see was that the charcoal fire was burning brightly in the house, and a few pieces of clothes were scattered on the ground. There was obviously someone under the quilt on the bed, and it could be seen that they were two people. At this moment, they were hiding under the quilt and shivering, not daring to show their faces.
"Who is this person? Sleeping here secretly?" The village chief thought he was a homeless vagabond and said kindly, "You don't have to be afraid. If you have any difficulties, tell us and we will definitely help you. "
The two people under the quilt trembled even more after hearing the village chief's words, but they refused to come out.
After a long while, a male voice said tremblingly, "Since you are so kind, let me and my wife rest here for the night, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow."
After hearing this, the village chief looked at Shen Yuyu.
"Girl Shen, I'm afraid these two people have nowhere to go. Why don't we let them stay here for the night?" He didn't understand. He really thought that the two people on the bed were a down-and-out couple who were staying here.
Shen Yuyu smiled and was about to speak when a man who was watching crowded up and walked straight into the house.
He walked to the bed and picked up an underskirt thrown on the floor. He looked at it twice, and then jumped on the bed like a beast, "It's you? It's you? You told me to spend the night with the newly widowed Sister-in-law Zhang." , I didn’t expect to come here and mess around with others!” As he said this, he went to lift the quilt off the bed.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, silently exited the room and closed the door.
Who is that man? It's Shen Wen.
Needless to say, the woman on the bed must be his wife Sulan.
But who is the adulterer? Everyone looked at each other, no one knew.
Ji Xun held Shen Yuyu's hand tightly, his eyes showing endless disgust for Sulan.
I remember that when he and Shen Yuyu lived in a cave, this woman would go to the cave to seduce him again and again, but he would scold him and leave her. Unexpectedly, she would do such a shameless thing after all, which is really disgusting!
A woman's shrill cries came from inside the house, and it seemed that Shen Wen couldn't help but take action.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Wen escorted the disheveled Su Lan and another disheveled man out.
This man was punched and kicked by Shen Wen, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but Shen Yuyu recognized him at a glance. He was actually Commander Jiang!
Commander Jiang disappeared after being kicked into Shenjia Village by Ji Xun. Are they hiding here together? Shen Yuyu was a little curious about how the two of them hooked up.
Sulan and Commander Jiang were escorted into the Shen family ancestral hall and knelt in front of the ancestral tablets.
"She is the one who flirted with me and deliberately seduced me." Commander Jiang glanced at everyone in fear, "I originally came to ask Princess Ye for the antidote, but unexpectedly I met Sulan outside the hospital. Sulan said she had the antidote. But she wanted me to do something for her. I never thought that it would be sleeping with her."
Commander Jiang was telling the truth, but it was not Sulan's original intention.
Sulan wanted to bribe Commander Jiang with the antidote and asked him to find a way to kill Shen Yuyu, but she never found a chance.
Shen Yuyu went to Yanggu County two days later, and there was no chance.
After the poison on Commander Jiang's body was detoxified, the 'fish scales' that grew out still needed to be soaked with potion, so he found Su Lan again and gave her two hundred taels of silver to help.
Sulan secretly arranged for Commander Jiang to live under Yingxue and sent him a bucket of potion every day.
Sulan was not a serious person at first, and she had long disliked her husband Shen Wen. However, Sulan was easily swayed by such a tall and strong man like Commander Jiang, so she took a mandarin duck bath without even sending two buckets of water. .
The past twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye. If Commander Jiang wants to leave, how can Su Lan be willing to leave? She will pester him to leave after the Chinese New Year, and she will elope with him by then.
I never thought that before I could elope, something would happen.
"This shameless woman must be dipped in a pig cage." Commander Jiang's words made several senior officials in the clan very angry.
"Yes, you must soak the pig cage and kill the adulterer with a stick.'
Sulan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and kept kowtowing to the clan leader and the chief uncle, begging for mercy, "Patriarch, second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle~~ please give me another chance, I will definitely change my ways, please." Already."
The clan leader hit his cane hard and said sternly, "The laws of our Zhou Kingdom stipulate that women can be divorced, but they cannot have liaisons. If they have liaisons with others, it will be dealt with according to the clan rules." The other principals also turned their heads to the side. , did not answer.
Su Lan hurriedly turned her eyes to Shen Wen again, knelt down and hugged his legs, begging hard.
"My lord, my lord, please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it next time. From now on, I will live with you peacefully and I won't dare to have any second thoughts.'
When Shen Wen heard that the clan wanted to take Su Lan to Shen Tang, he couldn't bear it. After all, it was a human life, the wife he shared a bed with, or the mother of his children. He really couldn't bear to execute her.
After a moment of silence, Shen Wen also knelt down towards the clan leader and the principals.
"Head of the clan, sir, please spare my wife's life and give her a chance."
"No." The clan leader said, "This is a clan rule. If a precedent is set and something like this happens again in the future, how will you deal with it?" He doesn't want to kill anyone, but this has been the way it has been handled since ancient times. What can he do except abide by it?
"Yes, it must be sunk into the pond. If it is a big family, I'm afraid it will be killed directly." The men onlookers also agreed.
After hearing this, Shen Wen could only shake his head, feeling helpless in his grief.
"Then it's settled." The clan leader said loudly, "Shen Wen's wife does not abide by the rules of a woman and has an affair with others. I will sink her into the pond tonight.'
Su Lan was so frightened that her eyes turned white and she fainted.
The clan leader didn't care so much. He ordered Shen Haiyang to find a pig cage, and at the same time ordered Shen Yongping and others to cut the ice on the lake so that Sulan could be thrown into the water and sink into the pond.
