My years as a corpse seamstress in the East Factory

Chapter 225 The guilty master Zhou
The lady's father?
The county magistrate who was executed without finding out the truth?
Or the executioner who swung his knife and cut off his head?
After hearing Yang Jiu's words, Zha Xingchen was also thinking.

He only knows that he has hatred in his heart, and it's really hard to say who he wants to vent his hatred to.

If you think about it carefully, the most damned person is actually that young lady's father.

After all, the person who sent someone to arrest him and lock him up was that bastard.

Afterwards, it was that guy who bribed the county magistrate with the money, but he didn't check and sentenced him to death.

If talking about villains, this is the only one.

Hearing Zha Xingchen's answer, Yang Jiu smiled and nodded, thinking that he was the young lady's father.

After all, there are already two souls waiting for him.

To find the young lady's father, Yang Jiu's paper figurine is not needed at all, Zha Xingchen knows the way himself.

Walking out of the room, Yang Jiu saw Fan Xiaogang standing not far away.

"Fan Xiaogang, come here." Yang Jiu waved to Fan Xiaogang.

Fan Xiaogang trotted over, the appearance of the hunchback running was very funny, no wonder he was laughed at by many people.

"I recognize you, you are in Xingyuan..." Fan Xiaogang had heard of Zha Xingchen's play, but he didn't expect that Zha Xingchen would also die tragically.

After death, the corpse will come here, and there must be obsessions in the heart, which cannot be let go.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "Fan Xiaogang, let's go and do Zha Xingchen a favor first, and then we will avenge you."

This decision was made only because the place Zha Xingchen was going to was relatively close.

Fan Xiaogang naturally didn't make any sense.

Many years have passed, but in fact, he no longer has any hope of revenge in his heart.

The sudden appearance of Yang Jiu ignited the fire of hope in his heart again.

To put it bluntly, no matter how many years have passed, even if the adulterer and adulterer have turned into bones, the hatred in his heart will not diminish.

Zha Xingchen didn't say anything, and just led the way.

On the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there are clusters of lanterns, which are too beautiful to behold.

One person and two ghosts, enjoying such beautiful scenery, they are all calm.

"Here we are." Zha Xingchen stopped suddenly.

Zhou house.

"I used to come here when I came to Chang'an for business. This family is really rich." Fan Xiaogang's voice was full of envy.

Zha Xingchen's eyes were full of hatred.

That lady would die if she wanted to, why did she have to pull him along?

On Huangquan Road, they couldn't walk together either.

On the plaque of Zhou's house, there is a gossip mirror hanging, which is used to ward off evil spirits.

Whenever evil spirits want to enter the house, they will be blocked by the gossip mirror.

What's more, there are two talismans posted on both sides of the gossip mirror.

Zha Xingchen stopped here, not daring to get close, just looking at it, he felt that the combination of the Bagua mirror and the magic talisman was very powerful.

Zha Xingchen turned around and looked at Yang Jiu.

In the middle of the night, as a member of the government, how should Yang Jiu enter this private house?
After all, although this family is a citizen, but because they are too rich, they also have contacts with many court officials.

Yang Jiu stepped forward quickly and knocked lightly on the door knocker.

In the silence of the night, the sound of the door knocker hitting the door was very clear.

"Here we come." A voice quickly came from inside.

The person who opened the door was an old man over sixty years old.

The old man was surprised when he saw Yang Jiu outside the door, and asked, "What is the reason for this lord's visit at night?"

"Is Master Zhou there?" Yang Jiu asked with a smile.

The old man nodded, turned sideways to get out of the way, and said, "My lord, please."

Yang Jiu was wearing the official uniform of the corpse stitcher of Dongchang. Judging by the auspicious birds embroidered on the official uniform, the grade was not low, so naturally she dared not neglect it.

Yang Jiu smiled and said: "I won't go in, please let Master Zhou come out to meet you."

Even if he could enter Zhou's house, Zha Xingchen couldn't.

The old man hesitated for a while, but chose to call someone.

Even if Master Zhou is on good terms with many high-ranking officials in the court, they are still people, and those who come are officials, so they must not lose their courtesy.

After a long while, an obese man in his early fifties, dressed in fancy clothes, walked out of Zhou's residence with eight strong servants behind him.

"Your Excellency is here, the humble house is full of luxuriant plants, please..." Master Zhou saluted with his fists clasped.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, just leave after finishing it, don't bother me."

"What's your name, my lord?" Master Zhou recognized that Yang Jiu was wearing the official uniform of a corpse maker from the East Factory, but he didn't know that Yang Jiu was the only person who could walk around in this sixth-rank official uniform.

Yang Jiu said: "Yang Jiu."

Master Zhou's face changed suddenly.

Everyone in Chang'an knows Yang Jiu's name.

The current Yang Jiu can be said to be the best corpse stitcher in Chang'an. There are even rumors that even the top corpse stitchers in the corpse town can't compare with Yang Jiu.

Even if a corpse stitcher is a lowly job, if he can achieve the ultimate in this line of work and stand at the top of the pyramid, he can have a very high status.

The official uniform on Yang Jiu is undoubtedly the best proof.

"So it's Mr. Yang, I'm really disrespectful and disrespectful, please come inside quickly." Master Zhou smiled all over his face.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the officials of the court and central government are flattering Yang Jiu.

Yang Jiudao: "Master Zhou, there is an old friend who wants to see you, I just sent him here so that you can meet."

"Old man? Where is he?" Master Zhou felt that he was not blind, and he was sure that Yang Jiu was the only one standing in front of him.

Yang Jiu raised his hand and flicked it lightly.

Master Zhou felt a chill on his forehead, and looked at Yang Jiu in surprise, but he saw Zha Xingchen standing next to Yang Jiu.

"Ghost..." Master Zhou yelled in fright, staggered back and fell to the ground.

Those servants are all baffled, ghost?Where did the ghost come from?Where is the ghost?

Master Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, already had a wet crotch, and a large area of ​​the ground was wet.

Seeing Master Zhou being so frightened, the servants wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare.

The treatment in Zhou's house is very good, and they don't want to be kicked out.

Two servants went to help Master Zhou, while the remaining six glared at Yang Jiu.

But they knew that Yang Jiu was an official, and also an official of Dongchang, so they didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

But Zha Xingchen walked towards Master Zhou, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, why are you so scared when you see me?"

"You, you killed my daughter, and I let my lord kill you, it's only right and proper." Master Zhou said in a loud voice.

Zha Xingchen said: "Since you have done nothing wrong, why are you afraid when you see me?"

Master Zhou didn't answer.

Zha Xingchen asked again: "If I'm really a murderer and the evidence is convincing, why did you give the county magistrate so much money and let me be sentenced to death?"

Master Zhou still didn't answer.

Zha Xingchen's two questions cannot be answered at all, because once the answer is given, some secrets will be revealed.

"So you know that your daughter was not killed by me, because you were outside the house at the time and saw everything clearly, but you still want to kill me so that you can be buried with your beloved daughter, right?" Cha Xing Chen continued to approach, making Master Zhou's body tremble with fright, his lips twitched, and it was difficult to speak.

Master Zhou woke up and said angrily: "You all go to me, kill that guy..."

All the family members looked at each other in blank dismay.

From the beginning to the end, Yang Jiu stood not far away and stopped talking.

But Master Zhou ordered them to kill Yang Jiu, which was terrifying.

One must know that Yang Jiu is an official appointed by the court, and they would not be so stupid as to do such a thing for such a small amount of money.

No one moved, they all stood in place, like wooden stakes.

"You don't want this month's money anymore, do you?" Master Zhou threatened.

Tomorrow is the time for distributing the monthly silver, Master Zhou's words made the eight of them very depressed.

If they can't get the moon silver, then they will be in vain this month.

"Master, that guy is an imperial court official, you didn't ask us to do this..." a servant whispered.

Master Zhou said angrily: "Who asked you to kill Master Yang? I asked you to kill that actor standing next to Master Yang."

This is outside Zhou's house, Master Zhou thought he shouldn't be so afraid.

"Master, there is no one else except Master Yang." All the family members said so, which made Master Zhou very confused.

Could it be that the Zha Xingchen he saw was really a ghost?
On the day that Zha Xingchen was beheaded, he went to see it. When the executioner stabbed him down, Zha Xingchen's head fell to the ground.

Now that Zha Xingchen is back, it must be a ghost.

"Quick, come back quickly..." Master Zhou woke up and hurriedly urged his servants to take him back to the house.

The gossip mirror and the magic talisman on the plaque are exactly what he obtained from the Taoist expert with a lot of money.

In the few days after Zha Xingchen was beheaded, he kept having nightmares, always dreaming that Zha Xingchen came to claim his life.

He had to do it.

Unexpectedly, after hanging up the gossip mirror, he never dreamed of Cha Xingchen again, which is also weird.

Years passed, and unexpectedly, Zha Xingchen's ghost came to his door, and it was brought by the corpse stitcher from Dongchang.

Master Zhou knew how Zha Xingchen and Yang Jiu met.

Master Zhou's legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, so the servants lifted him up and quickly retreated.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jiu was already standing in front of Zhou's house, looking at them with a smile.

Compared to Zha Xingchen, Yang Jiu is more like a ghost.

Obviously standing far away, in the blink of an eye, people are already behind them.

"Master Yang, what are you doing?" Master Zhou wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now he regrets it, regrets leaving Zhou's house.

As long as there is a gossip mirror, Zha Xingchen will definitely not be able to enter the house.

If not, Yang Jiu would not have called him out.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "Master Zhou, you should have a good chat with Zha Xingchen, some things have been going on for so many years, it's time to untie your knot."

"Back..." Master Zhou had nothing to talk about about the events of that year.

He urged his family to hurry up, as long as he bypassed Yang Jiu and returned to the house, even Yang Jiu couldn't kill him casually.

Zha Xingchen stood there without moving, and said with a smile: "It has been many years, it seems that you have no intention of repenting."

If Master Zhou knelt down and boldly admitted what he did back then, Zha Xingchen might choose to forgive.

But seeing Master Zhou like this, he really wanted to kill Master Zhou with his own hands.

It's just that he can't touch Master Zhou at all, so the so-called revenge is nothing but fantasy.

He also knew that Yang Jiu could not be counted on. Yang Jiu was an official ordered by the court, and if he wanted to kill Master Zhou, he had to go through normal channels.

"Master Zhou, I will ask Six Doors to re-investigate this case. I believe that the four famous arresters will definitely be able to investigate the case back then." Yang Jiu said with a smile.

At that time, not only Master Zhou, but also the county magistrate who was bribed by Master Zhou back then will all be finished.

"Lord Yang, my little girl was really killed by that bastard Zha Xingchen..." Mr. Zhou had tears in his eyes, and his face was full of anxiety.

Yang Jiu smiled and said: "Back then, Zha Xingchen was going to leave Chang'an with the troupe, but for the sake of loving your daughter, you chose to tie him up at home and imprison him. Do you think this is a light crime?"

The corner of Master Zhou's mouth twitched, he had nothing to say.

If this matter really needs to be investigated, even though several years have passed, it can still be investigated clearly.

As Yang Jiu asked, this charge alone is very serious.

Check Xingchen's murder case, and after careful investigation, maybe something can be found.

Master Zhou's face was ashen, and he thought a lot in an instant, never expecting such a result in the end.

"Lord Yang, I plead guilty, but I did all of that, and it has nothing to do with my family..." Master Zhou knew that he would die, and only hoped that his death would bring back the safety of his family.

Yang Jiu sighed: "Master Zhou, you should end it yourself, and I won't pursue this matter."

I believe that Master Zhou's death will also make Zha Xingchen feel relieved and leave with peace of mind.

Zha Xingchen moved closer, staring at Master Zhou with fiery eyes.

Yang Jiu is absolutely capable of turning the whole case over.

The tragedy of Master Zhou's beloved daughter and Zha Xingchen was actually caused by Master Zhou.

My daughter is depressed and will not die. When she finds a good husband in the future, she will definitely show a smile.

However, Master Zhou chose to imprison Zha Xingchen. When he had this thought, it meant that he had lost completely.

"Master Yang, you must do what you say." Master Zhou thought of his son who was only two years old, so he had no choice but to sacrifice himself in exchange for the safety of his only son.

After the death of his beloved daughter, Master Zhou married several concubines. One concubine was pregnant with his child and gave birth to a son, which made him very happy.

Yang Jiu smiled and nodded, wanting to see if Master Zhou really had such courage.

Master Zhou glanced at Zha Xingchen and sighed, "I'm sorry..."

In fact, for many nights later, Master Zhou thought about it carefully, and realized that he made a big mistake because of his own ignorance, and even took the life of his beloved daughter.

There is still a limit to loving a child.

Master Zhou suddenly took out a short knife from his sleeve and wiped it hard on his neck.

But when the blade was about to touch the flesh, he stopped in time, and his body trembled even more.

"I, I can't do it..." Master Zhou's crotch was wet again.

He wanted to use his own death in exchange for the safety of his beloved son, but if he really wanted to commit suicide, he really didn't have the courage.

Yang Jiu asked with a smile: "Master Zhou, do you want me to help you?"

Master Zhou's eyes widened, not believing that Yang Jiu really dared to kill him.

Yang Jiu laughed, shook her sleeves and turned around, asking, "Zha Xingchen, can you rest in peace?"

It doesn't really matter whether Master Zhou is dead or not.

Zha Xingchen was able to hear Master Zhou tell the truth, which was already fulfilling his last wish.

Seeing Zha Xingchen nodding, Yang Jiu strode away.

Zha Xingchen followed closely.

As soon as they left Zhou's house, they heard the servants in Zhou's house shouting "Master".

Zha Xingchen looked back and saw Master Zhou's soul soaring into the sky.

How is this going?

"Master Yang, did you kill him?" Zha Xingchen asked suspiciously.

When Master Zhou saw him for the first time, he was not scared to death, then they were going to leave now, let alone scare Master Zhou to death.

Yang Jiu smiled lightly: "Zha Xingchen, you can't talk nonsense."

"Thank you, Lord Yang." Zha Xingchen knew it well.

After thanking him, Zha Xingchen turned and left.

The Book of Merits and Deeds appeared immediately:
The host helped Zha Xingchen fulfill his last wish, and gained 380 points of merit. Currently, the remaining merit points are [-].

Yang Jiu took out the little paper figurine tied up earlier from the Nine Snakes' Cave, looked at Fan Xiaogang who had been following silently, and said with a smile, "Fan Xiaogang, let's go find your wife."

"That bitch is not my wife." Fan Xiaogang gritted his teeth in hatred.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't you visit your grave?"

Fan Xiaogang's body could not be sewn up, and it has been stored in the Hall of Yama.

Fan Xiaogang's wife hypocritically set up a tomb for Fan Xiaogang.

Fan Xiaogang didn't say a word, since he was dead anyway, it was out of his control how that bitch would act.

Guided by the little paper figures, they soon arrived at the residence of Fan Xiaogang's wife in Chang'an City.

It was a very big inn. Looking at the name of the inn, it used the name of the adulterer.

That bitch must have received a lot of family property back then, then left his hometown, came to Chang'an to settle down, and opened this inn, obviously living a good life.

Before going in, Yang Jiu wanted to ask, if the woman gave birth to many children, would Fan Xiaogang really want to kill her?
No matter what, the child is innocent.

But because of the sins that the woman committed, she was too cautious, and she couldn't be exonerated from the woman's sin just because the child was too innocent.

Because it was an inn, even though it was late at night, the door of the inn was still open.

When Yang Jiu walked in, he asked Fan Xiaogang to stay inside the little paper figurine for the convenience of Fan Xiaogang entering the inn.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, in the side corner, there were actually a few people drinking wine.

Their cheeks were flushed, their speech was not smooth, and they still had no intention of resting.

And the shopkeeper of the inn was sitting behind the counter, clacking at his abacus to settle accounts.

Seeing the shopkeeper, Fan Xiaogang immediately came out of the paper man, and punched the shopkeeper on the head.

Such actions are futile, it just makes the shopkeeper feel a little colder in this cold night.

The shopkeeper felt the cold wind, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Jiu and asked, "Guest officer wants to stay in the shop?"

It's so late, it's impossible to come to the inn to be the best, and nine out of ten are here to stay in the inn.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Look for someone."

The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared immediately. The thing that the owner of the inn is most afraid of is that someone will come looking for him.

Many people who live in the inn will have some little secrets.

Especially those married women, or married men, who came to the private meeting in the inn quietly for the sake of safety.

The main purpose of opening an inn in Chang'an City is to earn money from these people.

These people tend to spend a lot of money, and the reason is naturally that they hope that when something happens, the shopkeeper can help them cover it up.

"Who is the guest officer looking for?" The shopkeeper actually recognized the official uniform on Yang Jiu's body, but pretended not to.

Yang Jiu showed the little paper figurine and said with a smile, "It's her."

Seeing the face of the little paper figurine, the shopkeeper's expression changed drastically.

Yang Jiu asked with a smile: "It seems that the shopkeeper knows this person?"

"Guest officer, you made a paper figurine for the cheap nei, it's really..." The shopkeeper was full of anger.

Yang Jiu said: "Actually, I also came to look for you."

Fan Xiaogang's tragic experience cannot be separated from this shopkeeper.

"Who the hell are you?" the shopkeeper asked in a cold voice.

Yang Jiu tugged at her clothes and said with a smile, "The East Factory seamrs."

"So it's the official..." The shopkeeper deliberately raised his voice.

The drunks who were drinking over there pricked up their ears when they heard the word "Guan Ye", and turned their heads to look this way.

And at this moment outside the inn, Rueqing, who was leading people to ambush outside, also looked bewildered.

At the critical moment, how could Yang Jiu walk into this inn?

It stands to reason that at this point in time, Yang Jiu should sew up the corpse in the Hall of Yama.
