Chapter 32
Intuition told Ling An that someone was the first to tell Qiao Erniang to shut up.

Gu Buquan nodded: "Zhu Youshu doesn't work on dead people."

Qiao Erniang collapsed in the yard not far from the millstone, covered with a torn sheet.

The stone roller that was the culprit had been removed, and it lay quietly beside Qiaoerniang, with blood stains all over the roller.

At this moment, the father and son were sitting far away from Qiaoer's mother, their eyes were dull, but there was no sadness on their faces.

As soon as he saw Gu Buquan, Li Zheng jumped up, and Tang Wang also looked like he was going to bite someone.

"Walk around, don't buy coffins, don't give them away, and don't bet with you."

Not to mention Gu Buquan, Li Zheng is like a bright mirror in his heart. He is ungrateful to his own daughter, but how much affection can he have for his wife who has served him for decades?

Tang Wang has the same virtue as his father, and only has money in his eyes, so what is his mother?
Therefore, Qiaoerniang's end would be a corpse wrapped in reed mats. If they could dig a hole in their land and bury her, that would be a great kindness to the Tang family.

The reason why they are still willing to spend money to invite the Maple Leaf class to dance the master is only for themselves.

The so-called requiem for the dead is actually reassurance for the living.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here to beg you to buy a coffin. There are no such rules in the coffin shop." For a person like Lizheng, he would not be angry if he didn't take care of it.

Moreover, the coffin shop does not have the rules of selling coffins by itself. Those who need it will come to the door by themselves, and those who don't need it will never communicate with each other. People in this business have no friends.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Gu Buquan gave Lizheng a blank look: "Yesterday black and white Wuchang had a dream, saying that Lizheng's family had something to do, I just wanted to see if it was the same as what Grandpa Wuchang said."

He spoke slowly and in a low voice, which was enough to silence Li Zheng and his son.

Gu Buquan didn't bother to argue with Lizheng, she just wanted to find a chance to see Qiaoerniang's body.

Although there is no rank in Lizheng, he is still in charge of the household registration and tax payment of the common people, and they eat the royal salary. Therefore, there are not a few people who come to express their condolences. , the Maple Leaf class came to dance to the great god, the yard was packed to the brim, and there were many voices.

Some people say that Qiaoer's mother was so sad because of Qiaoer's death that she was in a trance when she was grinding the mill, and she accidentally pushed the stone mill down, causing a catastrophe.

Some people also said that Qiao Erniang just didn't want to live.

Taking advantage of the discussion, Gu Buquan lifted the torn bed sheet on Qiao Erniang's body. At first sight, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and threw her buttocks, which made Hua laugh loudly.

Growing up so big has always been for rectifying others, and I have never made such a fool of myself in public, let alone how upset I am.

It was also because of her own carelessness. These days, she is used to Ling An being by her side to save her from danger. She didn't expect that the idiot didn't give face at all this time. No wonder Hua Yaoling laughed so badly.

Gu Buquan crawled up from the ground, glared fiercely at Ling An beside him, but saw him staring at the corpses of Shi Nianzi and Qiao Erniang in a daze.

Qiao Erniang's death was ugly, her brains burst and her flesh was bloody. The tragic scene was unbearable to look at. She didn't take care of it just now and she didn't expect it to be so tragic, so she suffered a big loss.

According to Lizheng and his son, they were asleep in the house at the time of the incident and Qiaoer’s mother was grinding beans in the yard when she heard a scream. The mother didn't have time to speak, so she died on the spot.

Everyone confirmed Li Zheng's words. When they heard Tang Wang's shout and ran into the yard, Qiaoerniang was already out of breath, and the neighbors helped move the stone roller away.

Lizheng cried and fainted on the spot, calling out "the family is unlucky", and everyone sighed.

It sounds like everything is flawless, but there is always something wrong, which is why Ling An frowned at the stone roller in a daze.

"Lizheng, are you sure what happened this morning?" Gu Buquan asked.

Li Zheng swears that it happened early this morning.

Gu Buquan was full of suspicion, she couldn't identify the blood on the stone roller, but the blood on Qiao Erniang's head had obviously dried up, there was no way it was only an hour or two away.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious Risho and his son become.

Lizheng started howling with his broken voice again, which was extremely annoying.

"My condolences, my condolences, we wish to send Qiao Erniang on the road, and I hope she will not be reborn in your Tang family in the next life, so that we can get together and part ways. Come on, fool, ring the bell and get to work."

Qi Liuhai yelled about starting work and dancing to requiem the soul of the deceased. The yellow talisman was ready, and he was waiting to start the gong and shake his ribs to stick it on the body of the deceased, and to collect the money and go home early.

Li Zheng howled a few times, and hurriedly covered Qiao Erniang with the torn bed sheet.

At the moment when the torn sheet covered his face, Gu Buquan called out: "Wait a minute."

Rizheng was taken aback.

A small piece of wood was embedded in Qiaoerniang's messy hair, and she took it off carelessly. It looked like the veneer on some wooden object, with blood stains on it.

"Surprised, I thought it was a dead person who came back to life, scaring a living person to death."

Li Zheng snatched the piece of wood, glanced at it, then threw it away, and said disapprovingly, "Qiaoerniang is a diligent person, and she doesn't like to dress up, so it's not surprising that there is a piece of wood in her hair."

The wood chip hadn't landed on the ground yet, Ling An reached out to pick it up, looked at it again and again, but apart from the bloodstains, there was nothing tricky to see, he still locked his eyes on the stone roller, shaking his head frequently: "It's unbelievable. "

Gu Buquan asked: "Stupid, are you unable to believe that Qiao Erniang is an old woman who is over fifty years old, and it takes a lot of effort to push the mill, but she can push such a big stone roller?"

"Ah."

Ling An nodded without hesitation, looking at Gu Buquan with bright eyes, needless to say, he and her seem to have reached a kind of spiritual harmony, and she knows everything in his heart.

Gu Buquan saw that everyone was attracted by her words, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Take ten thousand steps back, even if Qiao Erniang's arms are amazing, she is still pushing the stone roller forward, and she still has to get out of the stone roller." How about running over in an instant, so that you can just be smashed into a bloody mess?"

She paused, glanced at Lizheng and his son, "Isn't this too unbelievable?"

"Yes, he died strangely." Ling An nodded again, "But..."

However, these are just their conjectures. So far, there is no evidence that Qiao Erniang died of homicide, let alone someone murdered to silence her.

Hua Yingling said coldly: "Qiaoerniang is a woman who is grinding in the yard, and two big men are sleeping in the house. That is incredible. Such a heavy mill, such a big stone roller, can live like a millstone." After working so hard, Qiaoer is gone, no wonder she wants to die."

People started talking.

Elder Wu Qi stood up and said to Gu Buquan: "The Stone Nianzi doesn't have to get out, she can raise both hands and hit her head, everything will be over."

"correct."

Wu Qi was a highly respected old man, and his words were astonishing, which immediately attracted a burst of echoes.

Gu Buquan chuckled: "Do you believe it?"

Elder Wu Qi glanced at the stone roller. It is not known whether a young and strong person can move it, let alone raise his hands above his head?
Knowing that it doesn't make sense, he stroking his long beard and laughing awkwardly: "I am ashamed."

Gu Buquan said again, "Besides, if she doesn't want to live, she just hits the stone roller with her head, why bother to move the stone roller so hard? If nothing else, I'll ask which of you can easily Lift up this stone roller?"

No one answered.

After all, it was obvious to all that the two strong young men had worked together to remove the stone roller from Qiao Erniang's body.

After a brief silence, everyone came to a conclusion: "Thinking about it this way, it's really strange."

Some people have already advocated reporting to the government and letting the people from the government investigate and find out.

"What's so strange!" Tang Wang was extremely annoyed, and yelled, "The witch, you used my sister's death to create a sorcerer's technique of fetching water from a bamboo basket, which caused the big guy to lose money, and now you want to use my mother's death to do something! You moth? Folks, don’t be fooled by her again.”

"Demon girl, I still suspect that you are responsible for the recent unfavorable conditions in Maple Leaf Town."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately returned to the emotion of losing their money. Regardless of whether it made sense or not, it was important to cover their own money bags first.

In a blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Gu Buquan became the target of public criticism again.

"Wang'er, don't waste your time talking with the coffin girl, just throw them out. It's more important for us to reassure your mother. Coffin girl, you have seen the situation in my family, and I don't care about it with you. You can go, so that everyone will not be disturbed." I feel uncomfortable."

Li Zheng came out at the right time to pretend to be a good person, please go out with "good words and good words".

Tang Wang was about to push him, but Ling An kicked him over, and slid out of the door along the ground.

Before everyone could react, Gu Buquan closed the door tacitly, and the door bar slammed across, shutting Tang Wang out. He was so angry that he banged on the door and howled and cursed endlessly.

Ling An opened the door, and Tang Wangzheng rushed in with all his strength, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Well, you fool, how dare you play wild on my uncle Tang's head, and don't even look at whose land it is."

Tang Wang managed to get up from the ground, and rushed towards Ling An with all his strength, but was tripped by Ling An stretching his leg again, and lay down on the ground again, this time he couldn't get up firmly, just groaning of.

"I fought with you."

Seeing that his son had suffered a big loss, Li Zheng rushed towards Ling An regardless of Sanqi 21, but Ling An only said: "Don't make trouble, requiem." Bell jumped to the Great God together.

Li Zheng just stood there in a daze.

"Huh?" Soon, Ling An turned around again, Gu Buquan had already taken a step ahead of him, and picked up the door bar on the ground.

One end of the door bar was dark red and bloody, and it smelled bloody.

Although the door bar had been carefully wiped down, because there was a gap in the peeled wood, some blood seeped into the wood, and unless it was completely chipped off, it would not be wiped off anyway.

The gap is exactly the small wood chip that was stuck on Qiao Erniang's hair before.

Gu Buquan said: "Obviously, it's not a stone roller, but a door bar."

Ling An held the door bar and walked in front of Lizheng and Tang Wang: "You? Or you?"

Tang Wang jumped out with an "Aww", and was stopped by Sun Xiaokong and rushed back. With no way to escape, he turned around and pointed at him and cursed.

"It's all your fault, you old dry wood. You're so reluctant to throw a door bar. It killed me."

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, Lizheng collapsed on the ground,
"I said lock her up, you have to kill her, and blame me again?"

In the mutual accusations between Lizheng father and son, the truth came out to the world.

Last night a masked man visited Lizheng's house and asked Qiaoerniang to never speak at the price of a hundred taels of silver.

Lizheng and his son looked at the white money, and became vicious. Tang Wang picked up the door handle and swung his mother's head fiercely.

Poor Qiaoerniang watched her own son helplessly, before she could say a word, she was beaten to death by several blows one after another, and died.

Afterwards, Lizheng and his son moved Qiaoerniang to the yard together, and together they moved down the stone roller and pressed it on Qiaoerniang, and waited until early in the morning to call the neighbors to see the false scene they made up.

"It's a crime." Elder Wu Qi let out a long sigh.

"Not the cloaked man, but the masked man?"

Gu Buquan and Ling An looked at each other, and fell into deep worry.

Is the masked man the cloaked man?What is the relationship between him and Liming Qianzhuang?
All this is unknown.
