Chapter 1096: Thorns on the back
“He was scared out of his mind.” Jia Jinliang stared at the crazy beggar with obscure eyes, “If you guessed it correctly, it was to take the bones alive.”
“To take the bones alive... ?" Du Moyu couldn't help but take a breath.
The fat man couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He suddenly thought that in the ancient books, they also encountered a poor woman who was skinned alive. , made into a human skin drum.
Now they finally understand why Empress Dahe is so resentful, and they would never let it go.
"It seems that the problem lies in the skeleton of the eldest lady of the Wu family." Yu Chengmu narrowed his eyes with an unfathomable look on his face, "These Yinxing seniors are also interested in this skeleton."
"So... all this is a conspiracy against the eldest daughter of the Wu family, and the so-called river god is also fake." Lei Mingyu reacted and touched his chin.
"It's too early to say this now, we need evidence." Chen Hao is a cautious person and will not jump to conclusions easily. Moreover, he keenly feels that these so-called speculations are based on Cheng Mu. Under the premise that Jia Jinliang's words are credible enough.
And these two people themselves are not trustworthy.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng suggested: "I want to go to Wu Ma's place again. Which of you will go with me?"
"I'll go." Du Moyu was the first to speak.
"We will go too." Abiao turned his head and answered on Jia Jinliang's behalf.
Yu Chengmu's withered face trembled and he smiled: "In my opinion, it's better for everyone to go together and take care of each other."
After the discussion, everyone did not In order to eat, everyone grabbed two steamed buns and went on the road together. The fat man saw that the crazy beggar felt sorry for him, so he grabbed a few more steamed buns and stuffed them with him.
But as soon as he went out, the crazy beggar ran away quickly.
"Hey -" the fat man shouted from behind.
"Leave him alone." Chen Hao said, "Let him go, taking him with you may not be a good thing."
The crazy beggar has a special status, and he gets too close to him. It will arouse the suspicion of the watchman or other underworld people hiding in the village, which will be very detrimental to their next step.
According to memory, a group of people came to Wu Ma’s house. After explaining the purpose of their visit, Jiang Cheng went straight to the point and asked: “Wu Ma, do you remember anything unusual happened at home after your young lady sacrificed to the river god?”
"Abnormal..." Wu Ma slowly opened her mouth, her expression stiff.
"Is there something missing? It's... it's related to the lady." The fat man half-crouched and reminded softly.
After a moment, Wu Ma's heavy eyelids suddenly moved, "Indeed, 伱... I remembered when you said that. Not long after the young lady sacrificed to the river god, the master and his wife asked us servants to go I am packing up the lady’s belongings and want to find some clothes and jewelry that the lady wore during her lifetime, put them in the coffin, and set up a tomb for the lady.”
When it comes to the lady, Wu Ma Shuang said. Her shoulders trembled, and her empty eyes became focused, "But...but after taking inventory later, the lady's clothes were missing a few sets, and some of her favorite jewelry were also missing. By the way, there were also missing...some banknotes were missing. , The master was sad about the young lady. When he learned that something like this had happened, he punished us severely, thinking that we had hidden it secretly."
"What happened?" Chen Hao asked softly. .
Ma Wu’s tears flowed out in big drops, and she wiped her tears and said: "Absolutely not. The lady treated us very well. Her bones were not cold at that time. How could I do such a thing? I believe that other people Neither can humans!”
Yu Chengmu slowly straightened his body and said in a strange tone, "So...these things were taken away by the lady herself, is that right?"
"Some people say so, but...but we can't figure it out either. Since the young lady has chosen to sacrifice to the river god, what else do you want with these extraneous things?" Wu Ma choked.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Wu Ma is not sure what is going on here, but Jiang Cheng and others have an idea.
The eldest daughter of the Wu family was deceived. The real situation is that someone with evil deeds secretly found Miss Wu family and lied to her that she would secretly take her out of the house to meet the scholar in the name of sacrifice.
It’s a paper man named Lu Jianli.
The Wu family has a great business, so naturally they look down on Lu Jianli, who has not yet achieved fame, so this ridiculous scene is indeed possible. Masters of evil deeds gathered together to deceive a rich girl who has just started to fall in love. There are many ways.
Judging from what Wu Ma told me, the eldest lady of the Wu family was preparing to stage an elopement, and she even had clothes, jewelry and banknotes ready.
But she would never have thought that the Lu Jianli she cared about... was actually a paper man.
What awaits her is a group of crazy devils.
After leaving Wu Ma's residence, Du Moyu was still lamenting that the eldest daughter of the Wu family was not kind to others, but for some reason, he looked towards Jiang Cheng as he spoke. Fatty and Chen Hao Lei Mingyu were also stealing. look.
Jiang Cheng looked like a thorn in his back, as if he had really done something shameful.
"I said, the final chapter of this mission will not be to find the paper man Lu Jianli, and then bring it to the Queen of Dahe and cut it into thousands of pieces, right?" Lei Mingyu's head twitched. explain.
“No way.” Jiang Cheng was a little panicked. Although he had nothing to do with Lu Jianli, Du Moyu, who had killed a thousand swords, said that his face looked very similar to that of the paper man Lu Jianli, almost the same. He was carved from the same mold. At the end of this mission, he would inevitably have to meet Empress Dahe. If he really looked like her, he might be in trouble. Anyway, it would be convenient to kill more people.
"Probably not." The fat man touched his chin and said after careful consideration.
Jiang Cheng's expression improved a lot when he heard this. He thought that he really didn't take care of the fat man in vain. At critical moments, his brother was still reliable.
"In my opinion, it is more likely that Empress Dahe will hire someone to kill someone herself." The fat man continued: "There is no need for others to do this kind of revenge. It would be great to do it yourself, don't you think?" br>
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that it would have been better not to open the door last night.
"Haha." There was a sneer, and Abiao grinned with a strange smile on his face, "Are you guys telling me this? But I'm not Lu Jianli, I just look a bit like him, or..." Abiao stared at Du Moyu's face, "Whether that's the case, it's hard to say."
The rest of the people reacted suddenly. Come here, Du Moyu put the blame on A Biao last time.
"You don't have to worry even if this happens." Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, turned around and comforted Abiao, "You are you, Lu Jianli is Lu Jianli, does it matter a dime?"
The more Jiang Cheng talked, the more excited he became. He turned around and asked Fatty Du Moyu and the others, "I ask you, does it matter if you have a dime? Come on, tell me clearly today!"
Jiang Cheng turned Abiao off now He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this man was selling. Double update today
