Chapter 326: Bones dug out
In other words, if there were bones found in the other courtyard, they must have done it.
As soon as Uncle Diao got the news, he rushed back to report to Diao Xinyan.
After hearing this, Diao Xinyan's eyes widened with anger, and she trembled with anger: "This is simply lawless! My Diao family has always been based on justice, but they raised such a group of villains!"
The anger in her heart burned like a raging fire, and she wished she could tear Mao Kangan's family to pieces immediately.
At this time, on the side of Shentu and Yulei, the human figures of the dead had become increasingly clear.
She was a woman with a haggard face and eyes full of pain and despair.
Her body was translucent, emitting a faint glow, with wisps of black mist lingering around her. One could tell at a glance what had happened to her in her lifetime that had accumulated so much resentment.
The translucent undead woman had faint light flickering all over her body. After gradually taking shape, her eyes suddenly opened wide. Her eyes, which were originally filled with pain and despair, were instantly filled with flames of hatred.
She let out a shrill scream, the sound was like the cry of a night owl, piercing the silence of the night sky, and with endless resentment, she pounced towards Shentu and Yulei.
Her figure floated like a ghost, and her hands turned into sharp claws, grabbing straight at the two door gods.
Shentu and Yulei were not surprised at all when they saw this, as they had long expected that the dead would not immediately regain consciousness after regaining their memories.
Especially the souls of those who died unjustly are more likely to be blinded by hatred and only want revenge.
Shen Tu quickly raised his arm, and a golden light instantly burst out from his palm, forming an indestructible shield that blocked the undead's fierce attack.
Yu Lei flashed and went behind the undead, trying to restrain her from behind.
Shen Tu stared at the dead spirit with a sharp gaze and shouted, "How dare you attack the righteous gods? If you don't stop, your soul will be torn apart and you will never be able to be reborn!"
His voice was as loud as a bell, carrying the majesty of a righteous god, and echoed in the air.
The undead seemed to be frightened by the majestic voice and paused slightly, but was soon driven by the surging hatred in his heart and struggled frantically again, trying to break free from the restraints of Shentu and Yulei.
Yu Lei quickly formed seals with his hands, and golden runes flew out from his fingertips and wrapped around the undead.
These runes flash with mysterious light, constantly weakening the hostility of the undead.
Under the combined suppression of Shentu and Yulei, the undead gradually lost the strength to resist, its body drooped limply, a hint of fear began to reveal in its eyes, and it regained some consciousness.
Just then, Diao Xinyan and Uncle Diao happened to walk out of the yard.
The undead's gaze instantly caught them, and anger suddenly ignited in her originally dim eyes, and tears of blood slowly flowed down her pale cheeks.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Since you are righteous gods, why don't you redress my grievances? Why do you still protect these despicable villains who have done so many evil things?!"
Diao Xinyan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden change.
She didn't do anything, so how did she become a despicable person who did all kinds of evil?
Shen Tu's face was stern, his eyes shot towards the undead woman like lightning, and he shouted like thunder: "Don't talk nonsense! Look carefully, are the two people standing at the door the murderers who killed you? Don't let hatred blind your eyes!"
When the undead woman heard Shen Tu's words, a trace of confusion flashed across her originally crazy eyes. She looked up and down at Diao Xinyan and Uncle Diao. Indeed, the faces of the two people in front of her were unfamiliar. They were not the vicious people in her memory.
But they walked out of that sinful yard, and she could clearly sense that her wronged body was buried deep in the yard.
Her voice was trembling, with a hint of uncertainty, as she murmured, "I... I don't know if they were the ones who killed me directly, but that yard... that yard hides my injustice, my body is in there, I can feel it!"
After saying this, tears of grief and anger welled up in her eyes again. Tears of blood slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and instantly turned into a pool of black stains.
Seeing that her emotions had calmed down a little, Shen Tu's tone also softened a little, and he asked, "Young lady, tell us, where is the corpse in the yard? As long as you are truly wronged, as a righteous god, I will definitely uphold justice for you, make the truth known to the world, and clear your name." The undead woman raised her head, her eyes full of suspicion, as if she couldn't believe that the righteous god in front of her could really clear her name.
However, her long-standing desire for justice made her choose to believe.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "They threw me... into the osmanthus tree at the back of the yard, and covered me with a thick layer of soil. In the darkness, I could hear their laughter and feel their cruelty..."
Recalling that unbearable experience, her body couldn't help but tremble and her voice became more choked.
Shentu and Yulei looked at each other, their eyes revealing determination and anger.
Shen Tu turned to look at Diao Xinyan and Uncle Diao and said, "Miss Diao, this matter is of great importance. We must go to the well immediately to check. If it is true as she said, we must bring the murderer to justice."
Although Diao Xinyan had not yet completely recovered from the chaos just now, she was well aware of the seriousness of the situation. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, everything will be arranged by the two gate gods."
Uncle Diao was standing aside with a solemn look on his face. He secretly blamed himself in his heart. As the chief steward of the Diao family, he was completely unaware of the evil deeds of the steward of the other courtyard. Now that such a serious incident involving human lives had occurred, he really let down the trust of the head of the family.
Without saying a word, he led people to the well.
Sure enough, they dug up bones next to the osmanthus tree, but there was more than one body.
When the piles of bones were dug out, everyone was shocked.
When Shentu and Yulei heard that they had dug up bones, they immediately rushed to the osmanthus tree with the dead woman.
In the pit, there were piles of bones stacked up in an interlaced manner, emitting an eerie atmosphere under the dim moonlight, which was creepy.
The undead woman floated to the edge of the pit, her eyes wandering among the bones, sadness and anger intertwined in her eyes.
She slowly extended her phantom finger, pointed at a burnt bone, and said in a trembling voice: "This... this is my body. It was burned to such a small piece..."
Then, she pointed to several other incomplete bones one by one, "These... I don't know them, but in those fragmented memories, they were persecuted just like me."
Her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
What is even more infuriating is the fate of the deceased. She called herself "Yin Niang", a woman with the surname Yin. She was engaged at the age of fourteen and had a very good relationship with Luo Ge.
One day when she went up the mountain to pick wild flowers, she was abducted to a villa and toyed with by the so-called "Young Master Mao". The Mao family also deceived her parents, saying that she had committed a crime and demanded money to pay for it.
Her parents sold their house and land just to redeem her. It’s a pity that it was the Mao family who bought the house and land, so how could they really give the money?
Both his parents were killed in front of the courtyard. After Yin Niang learned the news, she hid a knife and wanted to kill "Master Mao", but she was discovered and he tied her up and set her on fire...
Diao Xinyan was shocked: "What?! Lighting a sky lantern?! They arrested you, not you who harmed them. Why do they treat you like this?"
Such a terrible criminal law is actually used on an innocent girl? !
Are they still human? !
"How would I know?" Yin Niang paused, and continued, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I only know that Young Master Mao had me stripped of my clothes, wrapped me in sackcloth, and soaked me in an oil vat. At nightfall, he tied me upside down to a tall wooden pole and set me on fire from the feet..."
