The Apocalypse Survivor's Ancient Life

Reborn from the apocalypse, Pei Shaorong had only one thought in his mind: kill that despicable couple, collect supplies, and prepare for the end of the world!

One year later...

Pei Sha...

Chapter 43

After deciding to investigate Qin Xiangrong's affairs, Pei Shaorong began to take action.

According to what Xiaopangdun said, the most direct way to find out the truth is to ask Taohong, the maid mentioned by Xiaopangdun.

But Pei Shaorong did not do so. He did not know whether Taohong was a good person or a bad person, and why would an unrelated maid help Qin Xiangrong?

If this person is a bad guy, wouldn't he be courting death if he went there like this? From his past life experience and in TV dramas, isn't it true that the person who snitched on others dies the fastest? Pei Shaorong doesn't want to gain a reputation that will be remembered after his death...

After thinking it over carefully, Pei Shaorong decided to stay in Yueyang City a little longer since Zheng San's caravan's business had not been completed yet and there was no one available to go back to Yueyang Town with him to get a sleeping bag and sneakers.

After continuing to stay in Yueyang City, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao secretly bought some small ceramic bottles and packed some red wine and white wine to sell.

This wine is so profitable that I have dozens of large jars in my space. Now I have sold less than one jar, so I can definitely make some money.

There was also smoked meat left in the space, fresh pork, duck, chicken and other meats that could be sold, eggs and other foods. Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao acted separately and secretly sold them to restaurants and street vendors.

These must be dealt with, otherwise Bao and I will have to eat them for who knows how many more years. Let's deal with them now, so that when we go back we can eat the local specialties surrounded by greenery here every day!

As for other things in the space, such as shower gel, shampoo, soap, rice, flour, grains, oil, snacks, etc., Pei Shaorong had no plans to sell them.

Pei Shaorong would never exchange daily necessities, these non-renewable good things, for silver unless it was absolutely necessary. Daily necessities such as bathing and washing hair are more comfortable with modern things.

Pei Shaorong did not plan to deal with the rice, flour, grain and oil. He kept them for himself. He did not want to eat brown rice and steamed bread every day like the villagers. The refined rice and flour here were very expensive, and most of them were not as good as the ones in his own space!

As for some other things, most of them were not available here and were too strange, so Pei Shaorong didn't dare to show them off.

For example, lighters for making fire and convenient gas tanks, which were considered sacred objects in the eyes of ancient people, he only dared to use them secretly at home with Mo Xiaobao. In short, being low-key, cautious and careful is the long-term way!

While continuing to secretly deal with the extra things in the space, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao were also secretly following and observing the maid Taohong mentioned by the fat boy, and by the way, inquired about the details of Su Yuexia's murder case.

It stands to reason that investigating a murder case should be a very serious and tense matter, but when it comes to Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao, they are nervous but the seriousness is completely gone.

Every day after returning to the inn from outside and lying in bed, after Mo Xiaobao and Pei Shaorong had a discussion, they would always be curious and excited, "Brother Pei, does this look like the Detective Conan you mentioned?"

Pei Shaorong would also echo and add, "Yes, there is only one truth!" Then he would hug his little bottom, cover him with a quilt and go to sleep.

After the Lantern Festival, they stayed in Yueyang City for nearly a week. Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao secretly followed and observed, and found that the maid Taohong mentioned by the fat boy was indeed as he suspected, and was not a kind-hearted maid who saved her master at all.

After a few days of observation, Pei Shaorong discovered that the maid Taohong behaved very rudely, and she would grit her teeth when she occasionally talked about Su Yuexia.

It seems that Taohong must have had a grudge against Su Yuexia, which is why she told the story when leaving the county magistrate's mansion, wanting to plant a time bomb for Su Yuexia as revenge.

After asking around from other people, it turned out that Su Yuexia's murder case was indeed full of doubts.

According to everyone's account, no fatal wounds were found on the body of the deceased Wang Da, and he did not die of poisoning. This does not rule out the possibility that Cen Ziwen asked the government office's coroner to lie.

But from what people who were present at the time learned, Wang Da's condition when he died was not like what Cen Ziwen had said in his judgment of the case, that he died of a stroke!

There are too many suspicious points in the whole case, but now it has been two years, and even if there was any evidence at the scene, it cannot be found now.

No evidence was found at the crime scene, so the only key to finding evidence now is Wang Da's body.

Since he was murdered, there would be evidence of Wang Da's crime on him. As long as we find out the real cause of his death and have evidence, it would be much easier to report Su Yuexia and Cen Ziwen.

But now Wang Da's body has been buried for a long time. In the feudal and superstitious ancient times, if one wanted to dig up the grave and open the coffin for an autopsy, it would be a serious disrespect to the deceased and the deceased's family would beat him to death!

Moreover, even if they wanted to help Qin Xiangrong, he and Abao couldn't expose the matter. First, it was too dangerous. Second, they had little relationship with Qin Xiangrong. There was no guarantee that Cen Ziwen would not frame them in order to keep his official position, and others would not easily believe what they said.

After much thought, Pei Shaorong finally set his sights on the deceased Wang's wife, Feng. The deceased's family members trying to overturn the case would be more convincing than an unrelated stranger like him!

If Wang Da's wife Feng came forward, other people would not know about the existence of him and Abao. No matter what accidents happened at that time, it would have nothing to do with them. Besides, it would be most legitimate for Feng to open the coffin and perform an autopsy.

"Brother Pei, are we...are we really going to dig up someone's grave? I, why do I feel my hands and feet are shaking..."

Mo Xiaobao was a little timid about digging up the grave and opening the coffin for an autopsy. He was a true ancient man and could not accept it so easily like Pei Shaorong.

"Abao, we didn't dig the grave. We told Wang Da's wife the news and asked her to overturn the verdict. We are helping him by digging up Wang Da's grave. Can you imagine how kind Qin Xiangrong was to the villagers when she was little? We are helping her. Otherwise, she would have been tortured to death by those two bastards..."

Pei Shaorong explained seriously, and what he said was true. Everything they did was definitely to help others, and there was no reward at all. It was completely selfless dedication.

As a person with almost no moral bottom line who would help others with good intentions without any benefit, Pei Shaorong felt that he was very great at the moment, although he was able to do this mostly because of the impulse of jealousy and indignation in his heart...

When Mo Xiaobao heard that he would not be asked to dig graves, after being brainwashed by various modern bedtime stories every night for several months, he instantly agreed with Pei Shaorong's suggestion of digging graves, opening coffins, and conducting autopsies, and acted like he was following his husband's lead.

After preparing themselves mentally with Mo Xiaobao, the two started to act on the same day. Pei Shaorong dared to ask Wang Dapo to dig the grave, so he must be sure of it. People in the last days generally won't do things that they are not sure of!

What Pei Shaorong wanted to do was very simple, actually he just wanted to play tricks, and his method was also the old-fashioned method of the dead coming back to life and sending messages in dreams to deceive the eyes.

At the end of the world, Pei Shaorong met a man at the base. That man was very famous before the end of the world. He was a very powerful hypnotist and often appeared on TV. He was a very influential figure.

However, this man became unlucky after the apocalypse. Without any supernatural powers and a strong body, as a scholar with only a brain full of useless hypnosis research, he was worse off than a beggar before the apocalypse!

In fact, hypnosis is not as powerful as people imagine. It is simply a legend that one can hypnotize people with just a look or a gesture as shown in TV dramas. To hypnosis researchers before the end of the world, it can be said to be complete nonsense.

At that time, Pei Shaorong was doing very poorly. He lived with the scholar who studied hypnosis in the most chaotic area of ​​the base. Their sheds were next to each other and they were neighbors, so they had a good relationship.

Pei Shaorong learned a lot about hypnosis from that scholar, and even learned some simple hypnosis techniques when he was bored. In fact, it was just using light props and psychological suggestion to make people hallucinate.

It is not easy to influence people's minds with simple hypnosis, but as Pei Shaorong is a psychic, his mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so it is easier to use.

His current goal was not to hypnotize Feng completely, but just to influence Feng's spirit and create a trick to make him believe that Wang Dazhen had returned to his spirit and appeared in his dreams. It was too easy to make the feudal ancient people believe it!

Starting from the afternoon, Pei Shaorong dressed up as Wang Da's clothes when he was alive and began to meet Feng Shi by chance, leaving behind psychological hints that Wang Da's soul was coming back.

At night, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao waited outside the Wang family's house and saw Feng, who had been walking around in the house, finally turn off the lights and go to sleep. Only then did they sneak in.

Wang Da and Feng had no children during his lifetime. His parents died long ago, and he had no brothers or sisters. After Wang Da's death, Feng was the only widow left in the family. The absence of anyone else in the family made it easier for the two men to move around.

After the psychological hints during the day, Feng had obviously been tricked. Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao entered the room and saw Feng sleeping on the bed with a frown on her face and an uneasy look on her face.

After quietly arranging the props in the house and lighting the dizzying incense, Pei Shaorong began to talk big in the ear of the half-awake and half-asleep Feng.

He kept saying, "I died unjustly. My wife must seek justice for me, otherwise I will become a ghost." Feng, who was lying on the bed, trembled constantly after hearing this.

"Brother Pei, is this okay?" Mo Xiaobao asked quietly while staring at Feng lying on the bed.

"Of course it will work. If not, we will pretend to be ghosts every day, and Feng will definitely seek justice!"

Pei Shaorong was full of confidence. Feudal superstition was extremely useful in ancient times. Since ancient times, the emperors and princes were the ones who loved feudal superstition the most. This showed how effective this method was.

Besides, Feng had many doubts about Wang Da's death at the beginning, but she did not dare to resist because of Cen Ziwen's power.

If Feng really believed that her husband was wrongly accused and resurrected as a ghost, she would definitely find a way to seek justice for her own life. In ancient times, people feared the government and were even more afraid of ghosts and gods!

However, Feng's psychological quality was much stronger than Pei Shaorong had imagined. She felt afraid for the first time but did not take any action. As a weak woman, she did not have the courage to dig a grave.

If they failed once, they would try a second time. Every night, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao would run to the Wang family in the middle of the night and pretend to be ghosts to intimidate Feng into overturning the case.

Of course, Feng was actually an innocent victim, and Pei Shaorong didn't want to scare her to death. He even thought of ways for her to seek justice, which made Pei Shaorong couldn't help but sigh at how he could be so kind...

Finally, on the third day, Feng couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a hoe and dug up Wang Da's grave in the middle of the night.

When they opened the coffin and saw the rotten corpse inside, Feng was so scared that her face turned pale. She screamed and ran away in panic.

Pei Shaorong was far away from Mo Xiaobao, and didn't know what Feng had seen, so he asked Mo Xiaobao to stay where he was and he quietly ran over to find out what was going on.

After seeing the corpse in the coffin clearly, the only thing left in Pei Shaorong's mind was, Damn, women are so scary when they are cruel!
