Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Cross-eyed, he put the cloth bag into his pocket and entered the Taoist temple gate.

Xiaocai wanted to follow him in, but Wang Heng held him back and said, "This Taoist temple is so dirty that Ye Tianliao may not be willing to go in. We might as well hide under the Dragon Claw Sophora japonica."

After the meal, Cross Eyes put on a jacket and walked out of the door again, holding his cigarette bag.

The autumn night is slightly cool, the hustle and bustle is gradually fading away, the surroundings are silent, and the sound of footsteps on the road is particularly clear.

It was a steady pace, with Qi condensing at the bottom of the body, making it as steady as a practitioner.

A dark figure came from the east. It was hard to tell who it was in the dark night. The dark figure approached the gate of the Patriarch's Hall. A lantern hung on the gate, emitting a faint light.

Cross-eyed man stepped forward and said, "Please greet Mr. Ye."

The person who came was Ye Tianli. He snorted coldly: "Zhu Laoer, you are very kind."

The cross-eyed man smiled and said: "How can I get better, little man? I am full of diseases, and the most serious one is the disease of poverty."

Zhu Lao'er's sister married Ye Tianli as a concubine. Zhu Lao'er couldn't act like an uncle, so he stepped forward and said, "Master, please have a seat in the back room."

Ye Tianli glanced at the Patriarch's Hall, but felt it was very filthy and disgusted. He refused to go in and said, "If you have anything to say, it's right here."

Zhu Laoer nodded and said, "That's fine." He closed the door of the Taoist temple.

"Master, where has my sister Aju gone?" Zhu Laoer asked.

"Hmph, you still have the guts to ask. I was trying to keep some dignity with you by saying that Aju had disappeared inexplicably. In fact, she was having an affair with someone and ruining the reputation of my Ye family." Ye Tianli said with anger.

"Master, this is degrading me. Aju is in her thirties, not a 13-year-old daughter. She also gave birth to a third lady and a younger brother. Why did she want to elope?"

Ye Tianliu stroked his beard and said with a gloomy expression: "Our third aunt in Yejiadai saw with her own eyes that she rode away in a bullock cart with a salesman who was walking down the street. How could she be wronged?"

Zhu Laoer said: "What the master said is getting more and more bizarre. Before we got married, a salesman from our village came to propose marriage, and Aju came back. Why now she wants to elope with the salesman."

Ye Tianli sneered: "I don't want to be a cuckold. I think I have resigned now, so you can't take the blame for instigating me." Zhu Laoer said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, if we have this idea, we will be struck by lightning. , but you, sir, what’s going on with the third lady?”

"Fangxue was infected with the epidemic and died on the night of August 13th."

"Master, who are you trying to deceive? I've asked all over the village. The third lady came to the county town in early August and never returned to Fenhu. The eldest lady came back alone on the morning of August 14th. How could the third lady suddenly die of illness?" I'm afraid I wasn't killed by you."

"Fangxue is my daughter. Why did I kill her? How could you have such good intentions? It makes me suspect that you have ulterior motives." Ye Tianli sneered knowingly.

Zhu Laoer said sarcastically: "My whole family is suffering from poverty. I thought, I can no longer rely on Aju, and I still want to rely on Miss Third."

Ye Tianli took off his robe and threw it to Zhu Laoer: "Twenty taels of silver, go back to the countryside. If you cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhu Laoer hugged the robe, touched the inside of the jacket, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Master, tell me whether the third lady is dead or alive. After all, the third lady is my biological niece."

Ye Tianli said solemnly: "Zhu Laoer, you are blinded by eating lard. You are looking at me and I don't know. Now you can take out the murder weapon in your hand. Then call out all your uncles and brothers from the Zhu family behind the door. Let's get together." superior."

After saying that, he kicked Zhu Laoer violently and knocked him to the ground. He couldn't move. He took out a bottle from his arms, smelled it and said, "It's really those gangsters from Saoye Shanfang. How much did they give you?" ?" After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly, as if he was thinking about how to deal with Zhu Laoer.

Zhu Laoer vomited blood and was petrified. Finally he saw the opportunity quickly and knelt down and wailed: "Master, I don't dare, I don't dare. They coerced me. For the sake of my little brother, go around me." One life.”

Ye Tianli said sternly: "Get out of here right now, there will be no next time. Fang Xue has died of illness, I don't need you to worry about her."

Zhu Lao'er retracted into the gate of the Patriarch's Hall without looking back. Ye Tianli stood at the door for a long time before taking a step back.

Wang Heng and Xiao Cai hid behind the tree trunk and even held their breath, for fear of arousing Ye Tianli's alert. They had long discovered that Ye Tianli was a practitioner, but they did not expect that his skills were so high.

After Ye Tianli walked away, Xiaocai patted his chest and said, "It's so thrilling. I'll count to a thousand before I dare to speak."

Wang Heng said: "That's right, the two of us can't stop him from punching us."
