Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 11 The White Fox in the Well
As soon as she thought of something hiding under her bed, Qiao Niang was frightened and backed away again and again.

Hu Qian suddenly had a plan, and immediately shouted: "It seems that this tunnel is the evidence that Qiao Niang murdered Yang Shiying with an outsider. Come, lock her up."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, before they understood what was going on, the two yamen servants subconsciously put the iron chain around Qiaoniang's neck.

"What are you doing? I didn't do it! I'm wronged!"

Hu Qian ignored it, and shouted directly: "Just lock her on the head of this bed, and escort her back to the county government tomorrow morning."

The two yamen servants thought, can't they take him back now?

But it would take Yangcun a day to go to the county government office, and it would not be too late to start tomorrow.

So he locked Qiao Niang in the room without hesitation.

"The door is also locked, lest she escape."

Hu Qian ordered the two yamen servants to stand guard at the gate, and then asked Yang Chengzhi to remove the sentry guard at the entrance of the village to restore the previous order.

After that, he found Yang Chengxin again, whispered something in a low voice, and then returned to the hall.

Sitting beside him, Shen Yuzhen hesitated and said, "Sir, how can you convict my aunt? Isn't it a bit rash?"

Hu Qian took his hand and said softly: "Don't worry, lady, I have my own plans. But you, you have been running around with me these two days, and you have suffered a lot."

Shen Yuzhen smiled and said: "My husband is all for me, but I can't help at all. How dare I say that I am tired. Compared with my husband, I feel extremely ashamed."

Hu Qian whispered in her ear, "Since you're not tired, my husband will show you a treasure tonight."

She subconsciously asked: "What baby..."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately understood, and my face turned red.

After a pause, he lowered his head again and said in an almost inaudible voice: "My husband has been very tired these two days, and the days ahead will be long, please take care of your health."

Hu Qian looked at her shy appearance, and thought she was very cute, and immediately said in a low voice: "Why? Don't you want to make out with your husband?"

She shook her head again and again, blushing up to her ears.

"What do you mean by shaking your head? Don't like it?"

"I'm a concubine...I like her very much...but..."

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Hu Qian couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he said softly: "Okay, my husband understands your painstaking efforts, I promise to be honest tonight and not do anything else."

She was relieved, and when she heard the second half of Hu Qian's words, her face blushed again.

"is that true……"

Hu Qian rubbed her hand, feeling white and weak, and said with a smile, "This time it's true."

In the evening, after the dinner, the Yang and Shen families gathered in the hall again to discuss Yang Shiying's funeral.

Hu Qian asked Xiaohuan to accompany Yuzhen to rest, and stayed in the hall by himself.

But he said nothing, just sat there in silence.

The two families thought he was tired, and no one bothered him.

In the middle of the night, the two families settled down on all matters.

Just as he was about to go back to rest, Hu Qian jumped up, and while running back, he shouted: "Sincerely, sincerely, do it quickly!"

Everyone went inside without knowing it, but Yang Chengzhi and Yang Chengxin immediately rushed into Yang Shiying's bedroom with torches and dry wood.

Qiaoniang saw her and was about to complain, but the Yang brothers ignored her and just threw the torch into the cave.

Then, the yamen servant came to help Qiao Niang unshackle, and pulled her out.

Immediately, more than a dozen servants rushed into the house with torches and dry wood.

After a while, the cave was on fire, and the thick and choking white smoke made people cry.

Hu Qian said: "Cover it with wooden boards!"

Immediately, someone brought wooden boards to block the hole, and everything seemed to have been prepared long ago.

"follow me!"

Hu Qian quickly ran out of the courtyard and looked west.

Only then did Yang and Shen's families and Master Wang realize that Hu Qian had already made arrangements.

But after looking at it for a while, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

Just when everyone was startled and suspicious, bursts of thick smoke suddenly rose from the ground in the north, and a little bit of fire shot straight into the sky.

"Come on!"

Hu Qian rushed over there immediately, and the Yang brothers and more than 20 servants rushed away with fishing nets, wooden forks, sticks and other tools.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the dry well where the corpse was found before.

It's just that at that time, I only used a torch to illuminate it, and saw that there were only withered grass and branches, so I didn't go down to check it carefully.

Now that the flames rushed over, this side also burned immediately.

"Set up the fishing net!"

Yang Chengzhi gave an order, and the servants immediately propped up the fishing net with the prepared wooden sticks, and surrounded the mouth of the well with a distance of one foot.

Not long after, I heard a strange cry, and then a white thing rushed out of the mouth of the well. Just as it was about to escape, it hit the net, the stick fell, and the net covered it.

The nearby servant rushed forward and strangled the thing tightly.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was a white fox!

When Hu Qian saw the fox fur on the cave under the bed earlier, Hu Qian suspected that it was a fox.

So he pretended to catch the real culprit, and secretly asked the Yang brothers to arrange it, hoping to attract the fox.

After all, if the fox really killed Yang Shiying, he might be curious about the situation here.

At night, he used his magical powers to see a white fox appearing in the cave.

"Brother Hu really knows magic!"

Yang Chengzhi laughed out loud, full of admiration.

"Brother knows things like a god, younger brother admires him!"

The Yang and Shen families who followed, as well as Master Wang and others couldn't help being amazed when they saw that they had caught a white fox.

Hu Qian said: "It seems that it was this white fox that killed Uncle Shiying."

Master Wang said: "The deceased was strangled to death, and then someone pretended to be the deceased and rushed out of the door. How could this little white fox do it?"

Hu Qian said: "I think the whole body of this white fox is snow-white. It must have become a monster. It may not be impossible."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little skeptical for a while.

Hu Qian said: "Since the murderer has been caught, it's up to Uncle Yang to decide what to do with him."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Dakai.

Yang Dakai thought that Hu Qian had exhausted all means, and casually accused the fox of the crime, so he casually said: "If you kill someone, kill him to avenge your third brother!"

At this moment, the white fox suddenly said: "Yang Shiying deserves to die!"

The servant holding the white fox was startled, and the white fox in his hand broke free immediately.

Fortunately, Hu Qian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and the white fox was injured by the fireworks, so he caught it again.

But this time, almost everyone hid a foot away, looking at the white fox in Hu Qian's hand in horror.

Hu Qian said, "Why did you say that?"

The white fox rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and said, "He killed many of my species in the wild grass forest, and then peeled off my wife's skin and put it on the bed. Isn't there more than a crime to die for?"

Hu Qian said: "In this way, your people also ate many mice and rabbits, should they die?
If they seek revenge on you!It should also be said that you deserve to die! "

The white fox snorted and said: "We eat mice and rabbits to survive, but he, Yang Shiying, killed many of my people just for fur!
If he had to eat us to keep us alive, we wouldn't say much, but is that the truth? "

Yang Dakai was not as scared as before at this moment, he grabbed the wooden stick from the servant's hand and rushed forward, "Damn you bastard, I will kill you to avenge my third brother!"

However, just as he raised his stick, a gust of night wind suddenly blew by, filling the air with an ominous atmosphere.
