Chapter 127: One copper coin for two strings, very cheap
The clothes on the body had rotted, but the patterns on them could still be made out.
It is a men's black tights with sleeves.
It's a man, it's a man...
Xu Wude's tightened heart eased a little, but as he dug out more and more things, the stench of decay also wafted out.
Some people say that the stench of a corpse is like the smell of 1,000 rotten eggs plus 100 dead rats, mixed with fermented durian.
Not only that, it also contains toxins, hydrogen sulfide. Inhaling too much can cause headaches, accelerated heartbeat, and damage the central nervous system.
Even though it has now rotted into bones, the smell inside has never dissipated because it has been sealed and never seen the light of day. Therefore, the stench quickly spread throughout the courtyard.
"Hurry up and pull your master out, he will be poisoned!" Sang Ning shouted.
Then she covered her nose and quickly pushed Huo Changan away.
Once this stench gets on your body, it won't go away for many days.
"Master, come out quickly, let's wait for the officials to arrive."
"Master, stop digging!"
When Sang Ning arrived at the courtyard entrance, he heard Xu Wude let out an inhuman howl.
"A jade pendant! It's a jade pendant! It's the Third Madam's jade pendant!" Aunt Liao cried.
"It's turned bloody! The Third Madam didn't elope! She was murdered!"
"Third Madam, child, the master's child..."
There were two people in the pit, one of them was a male corpse with a dagger on his body.
A pregnant female corpse with a blood-red jade pendant hanging around her neck.
It was Yu Liwan and the guard beside her.
Sang Ning: It’s true that there is no restriction on meat or vegetables in such a small space. Did you even tell her about the treasures on the corpse?
Damn, it’s a good thing she didn’t come to dig it in the middle of the night!
I came to Xu's house and saw a human tragedy.
Rich or poor? Everyone has their own trials and tribulations.
Xu Wude held the jade pendant in his hand, calling out the third wife's name and wailing incessantly, which frightened those who heard it and moved those who saw it to tears.
Finally, he fell into a pit and fainted.
The magistrate of Rong County came with dozens of yamen runners and dispersed all the irrelevant people.
Sang Ning and Huo Changan left the house.
The servant who brought them here often saw them out.
"Mrs. Sang, Mr. Huo, thank you." Chang You thanked with red eyes.
Sang Ning thought he was thanking her for bringing down the Second Madam and rescuing the servants.
Just waved and didn't care.
"When your master recovers, don't forget to send our things over."
But Chang You knelt down and kowtowed to them.
"I'll thank you on behalf of the Third Madam."
The third wife is a kind person.
Back then, he was only twelve and fainted from hunger at the gate of Xu's mansion.
It was the third wife who brought him into the mansion and made him a servant.
Because he had always been in the outer courtyard and had no easy access to female relatives, when the third wife was rumored to have eloped, he angrily scolded her like everyone else.
Unexpectedly...
I often feel guilty and regretful.
"Thank you for clearing the Third Madam's name. From now on, she won't have to bear the blame anymore."
After Chang You finished speaking, he stood up and retreated behind the door.
"Take care, both of you."
…
Huo Changan said calmly: "Good people are often bullied."
"Who is so good at being bullied? It's obviously a stinky man who loves new things and gets tired of the old ones. He married one woman after another. This is obviously the result of the jealousy of the second wife.
"Not only did he harm others, he also ended up being childless. You're dumbfounded, right?" Sang Ning retorted angrily.
Huo Changan: "..."
"Xu Wude acts so affectionate, as if he loves her so much, but he can just turn around and sleep with someone else!"
"Monogamy should be practiced, requiring women to be faithful, and men should also be loyal. If you can't do it yourself, don't blame the woman for being a cuckold!"
"What's the matter? Do you think you're so capable? If you are, then don't go to the men's department. Don't let women put their eyes on other people. They are all silver-plated guns, standing in the toilet without taking a shit!"
Sang Ning cursed further and further away.
From Xu Wude to Huo Jianglin.
He also started by cursing Huo Jianglin, saying that all men in the world are evil.
At least the fire didn't burn Huo Changan.
Huo Changan changed the subject subtly.
"The Second Madam would never have thought that one day she would be killed by a completely unrelated person without any warning. Madam, you have done justice."
"It's not irrelevant," said Sonning.
“Everything a person does in his life is predetermined.
She exudes evil all the time, and her aura has long been corrupted.
Just like a piece of poisonous and rotten food, it is only a matter of time before someone cleans it up.
I just happened to be the last one to clean up.”
Changing the subject, she continued, “On the other hand, doing good deeds is the same.
If you do this more often, even if you are in danger, God will help you."
God will help you.
God will help you.
So, did she come when the Huo family was in the final desperate situation?
"My wife..."
"It's fine if you call me that in front of outsiders, but why do you call me that for no reason? You're not allowed to call me that!"
"So what if I scream?" the boy started to be stubborn again.
His eyes were deliberately tilted, his chin slightly raised, and he looked rebellious and would not back down.
OK, OK, OK, call me if you want, calling me mom is even better!
The Xu family incident caused quite a stir, and within two days, the news spread all over the streets.
The melons from rich families are more delicious. Everyone from street to street can tell you about them.
The murderer was also arrested. He was the second wife's brother Hu Qiu.
When Hu Qiu went to visit his sister, he heard her scolding the Third Madam and evil thoughts started to arise in his mind.
Said he wanted to teach her a lesson on behalf of his sister.
Ye Ling, the guard beside the Third Madam, is very skilled in martial arts, but his only shortcoming is that he likes to drink a little bit of wine.
Hu Qiu hung out in the streets all day and could drink a lot.
The Second Madam used the excuse of asking Ye Ling to accompany her brother so that he could have a good drink.
The Third Lady is soft-hearted and finds it hard to refuse.
Just like that, Ye Ling was drugged and fell into a coma.
Hu Qiu sneaked into the third lady's room.
The third wife got the scissors while resisting, but Hu Qiu, who was drunk, stabbed her in the chest.
This scene happened to be witnessed by the young master who often came to play.
So, Hu Qiu decided to go all out and suffocated the young master to death.
After killing two people in a row, he sobered up completely and began to calmly fake the scene.
He stuffed the fish bones that were still on the table into the young master's throat and hid them under the table, and then called in his cronies to create the illusion that the third wife was having an affair with someone.
On the bed, a man in black disguised as Ye Ling was holding the disheveled and pregnant Third Madam. He was seen by Aunt Liao and several maids who came to collect the meal.
Afterwards, the man closed the door and pretended to escape through the window, but actually hid under the bed.
The second wife was the first to burst through the door and rushed in, dragging out the young master who had already died under the table.
The scene was in chaos.
Next came the rumors that the third wife and her adulterer killed the young master and eloped.
Afterwards, Hu Qiu found an opportunity to bury the third wife and Ye Ling at the foot of the west wall.
That's the whole truth.
County Magistrate Bai Yibai said it himself.
After hearing this, one can only sigh that evil people are rampant and beautiful women have short lives.
At this time, Bai Yi was sitting in the newly opened snack bar in Sangning, holding a piece of grilled gluten and eating it with relish.
The snack bar has grilled gluten, potato cubes, and tofu slices.
I didn't do much, just to test the market.
Sang Ning mainly targets middle and upper class families, people like the Xu family who still have money. As for those who can't afford to eat, it is impossible for them to eat this.
Today is the first day of opening, and not much has been sold. Most people don’t know about this shop yet.
But seeing how deliciously Bai Yi ate, I knew there was definitely no problem.
"Two more skewers of tofu."
Two strings for one copper coin, very cheap.
Now the black-faced steamed buns on the street cost five copper coins each.
Although tofu is small, it can fill your stomach. The key is that it tastes good, so delicious!
Sang Ning was busy, and it was Mo Cuiyu who brought the tofu.
"Please use it, sir." She said politely in a low voice.
Her voice is pleasant, even if she lowers it deliberately, it still sounds soft and sweet.
Bai Yi's back stiffened.
