Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 9 Are you sure you saw him?

Although the dozen or so people present were all vigorous young people, none of them had ever encountered such a strange situation.

At that moment, several people sat down on the ground in fright.
Hu Qian yelled: "Don't be afraid! I can spell! Light the torches!"

Once the team had a backbone, the fear immediately subsided a lot.

What's more, hearing that Hu Qian can do magic?

Although I don't know if it's true, but I finally have something to rely on.

When the torches were lit again, there was nothing around.

The guide who was standing still turned around and said, "Master, where are we going now?"

Yang Chengzhi asked the person next to him to carry Yang Shiying for him, bravely walked up to the person, illuminated it with a torch, and said, "God left, you boy was in a daze just now, so I don't care if I tell you!"

Gou Sheng was so hot that he hid back, "Did the young master call me just now?"

Yang Chengzhi muttered in his heart, and counted back and forth again.

Fifteen people, one not too many, one not too few.

That was just...

Is it wrong?
At the same time, Hu Qian also put away his supernatural powers, except that Yang Shiying still had a chill all over his body, nothing else.

When he was wondering, he suddenly saw flames in the distance, and then he heard Yang Dakai shout: "Sincerely, where are you?"

It seemed that they couldn't get out for a long time, and outsiders went back to report, and Yang Dakai and others came to look for them.

Everyone was overjoyed, without any fear, they waved torches and shouted.

"it's here!"

"We are here!"

By the time everyone gathered together and returned to the Yang family's courtyard, it was already early morning.

But when they saw Yang Shiying's body, no one felt sleepy at all.

As for the matter of getting lost in the forest, no one mentioned it again.

"Qiaoniang!" Yang Dakai held back his grief, slapped the table and shouted: "Qiaoniang! Didn't you say that you saw Shiying running out and throwing himself into the river! What's going on!"

Qiao Niang's face was full of disbelief, and she was speechless for a moment.

Shen Sanshi said: "Qian'er, the strangle marks on Shiying's neck are so obvious, could it be..."

Hu Qian nodded and said, "Uncle Shiying was obviously strangled to death, and then dumped his body in a dry well in the weed forest."

Yang Huicai looked at Qiaoniang bitterly and said, "That means, both she and Cui'er are lying!"

Hu Qian said: "Whether I'm lying or not, it's hard to say now. I think the most urgent thing is to block the way out of the village, only allowed to enter, not allowed to exit."

Shen Yang said: "Qian'er, you are..."

Hu Qian said: "Uncle Shiying loves hunting and has a strong body. With her and Cui'er, it is really difficult to strangle him to death. If they really committed the crime, there must be accomplices."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yang Dakai immediately ordered people to guard the intersection leaving the village, and set up sentries around the village. If he saw suspicious people, he should be caught first.

Hu Qian said again: "In addition, I need someone to inform my father that there is a murder case here, and the government cannot ignore it."

Yang Cheng said: "Okay, I'll send someone to go right away."

Hu Qian nodded and said to Yang Chengzhi, "Please go and call Cui Er."

Not long after, Tweety was brought over.

Seeing Yang Shiying lying in the middle of the main room, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt down and said, "Master, you died so miserable..."

At this moment, the reminder in Hu Qian's mind suddenly changed.

【Tweety sees who it is】

His heart moved, he calmed down, and said to Tweety: "Don't cry yet, let me ask you, you said that you poured wine for the master that night, and then stood outside, right?"

Tweety said: "Yes."

"What was madam doing while you were pouring the wine?"

"The lady is sleeping on the table."

"So, at that time, you saw the face of the master clearly, but you didn't see the lady's. You only saw a person dressed as a lady lying on the table, didn't you?"

Everyone was shocked.

I don't know what he meant by that.

Wasn't Qiao Niang lying on the table at that time?

Tweety frowned and said, "It seems to be like this."

"You were in the house until the master sent you out, weren't you?"

"Correct."

"Then when was the last time you saw Madam's face?"

Cui'er thought for a while and said, "Master had already drank a lot in the town, and soon after he came back he sat in the dining room drinking, Madam was by his side, I saw their faces.

Later, they kept talking, and I stood by. Then the master said that the wine was gone, so I went out to get the wine. At that time, the wife was still asleep. "

"When you came back with the wine, Madam was already lying on the table, you didn't see her face, did you?"

"um, yes."

"Based on what you know about Madam, was it she who was sleeping on the table at that time?" Hu Qian said and turned to Qiao Niang, "Or is it the one sitting here?"

Tweety scratched her head, "I was so sleepy at the time, I really didn't notice, I'm not usually this sleepy."

Hu Qian nodded, "Did you see Madam's face when you chased her out?"

Tweety nodded her head immediately, "At that time Madam almost fell down, but I held her up, I'm sure it was her."

Everyone looked at Hu Qian in bewilderment.

What do you mean?
Could it be that someone pretended to be Qiao Niang and killed Yang Shiying?

But this doesn't make sense at all, where did Qiao Niang go then?Didn't she chase after him later?
Hu Qian said again: "Until the master asked you to wait outside, you saw the master's face, right?"

Tweety said, "That's right."

"You said that when you were dozing while standing, you suddenly heard a strange cry, and then saw the master rushing out the door and throwing himself into the river. During the whole process, did you see the master's face?"

"Well, when I was awakened by the cry, the master had already ran out of the room, and I saw his back. He was still wearing the same clothes, but I didn't see the front.

It was dark outside, and my wife and I kept chasing after him. Later, when we saw the master throwing himself into the river, we came back to call for someone. "

"So you can't be sure that the person wearing the master's clothes is the master, right?"

Tweety was a little confused by the question, but she understood the sentence, and nodded emphatically.

Hu Qian carefully sorted out the thoughts in his head, and stopped talking for a while.

Yang Dakai and the others were already stunned, completely unaware of what was going on.

Before I knew it, the sky was already bright.

Seeing that Hu Qian was still sitting there quietly, Shen Yuzhen walked towards him slowly, "Sir, you haven't slept all night, why don't you take a rest first."

Hu Qian nodded, and followed her to the guest room arranged by Yang Dakai.

Undressing Hu Qian, Shen Yuzhen gently covered him with a quilt, and was about to leave when Hu Qian grabbed him.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"Lady, you can sleep with me, I can't sleep alone."

Her face turned red suddenly, "This...is at my uncle's house...it doesn't seem to be proper."

"I'll just hold you and do nothing else."

Thinking of Hu Qian's broad and warm arms, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded shyly.

So he ordered Xiaohuan to wait outside and not to be disturbed before lunch.

Then she undressed and got into Hu Qian's arms.

Maybe it was due to the exhaustion of the boat and the car, and the fact that she had been guarding for a long time last night before she got into Hu Qian's arms, and she also felt sleepy for a while.

Before she fell asleep, Hu Qian's hand had already reached into her neckline.

"Master, you are..."

"I'll just touch it, nothing else."

After a while, she frowned slightly, wrapping her arms around Hu Qian's neck.

"Sanggong, don't you...don't do anything else..."
