After Ah Fei left, Ah Man was still very distressed and complained, "You said you would give me 100 taels, but you turned around and gave me 200 taels. Even a hen can't lay eggs that fast."
Jiang Si reached out and tapped Ah Man's forehead: "I didn't realize you were so obsessed with money before."
Ah Man covered his forehead and curled his lips, thinking that the girl didn't have any money before, so there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to be rich.
"Don't always focus on this. Money is important, but it is not the most important thing for us."
She needed money to do things, but she lacked people to do the work. If she had any other options, why would she hire a street thug like Ah Fei whom she had never dealt with before?
Fortunately, she was lucky. Ah Fei was smart and not so short-sighted, so he could be used.
"Give these two hundred taels to Liu Xiangu to pay her back."
"Miss, have you not seen Liu Xiangu?"
"It's gone. There's nothing good to see." Debtors have to pay their debts. From now on, no one owes anyone anything. It's time for Liu Xiangu to get her comeuppance.
In her previous life, Fairy Liu enjoyed great glory for a long time, and she remained so until she married Yu Jin and returned to the capital.
However, one day, the once glorious Liu Xiangu was hacked to death at home, and the murderer was not caught for a long time.
She happens to know who the murderer is.
Ever since the title fell to her second uncle's family, she began to doubt the fact that her second aunt had invited Fairy Liu to their home to exorcise evil spirits. She asked Yu Jin to secretly investigate her second uncle and also to investigate Fairy Liu.
For many things, as long as you ignore the cost, time and effort to investigate, you will always find out many unexpected things.
The most disgusting incident was that Liu Xiangu used her son to disguise himself as a daughter to harm a girl from a wealthy family, and it was this incident that brought Liu Xiangu to her death.
Of course, the murderer has nothing to do with Mr. Yan's family.
Fairy Liu could come up with such a heartless idea, and of course it did not only harm Mr. Yan's family. However, some girls were strong-willed and did not insist on marrying a poor boy just because of those seven nights. Some parents loved their daughters so much that they tried their best to stop them from doing anything stupid.
According to the investigation results of the people sent by Yu Jin, there are at least four or five girls suffering from the same strange disease as Miss Yan.
Liu Xiangu was still meticulous in her actions. These girls were all only children and lived in different towns, at least a hundred miles apart. And the poor boy who lived with a distant relative in their dreams, the so-called relative was different each time.
Liu Xiangu cast a wide net and spent a lot of money.
Among them was a girl named Dou, who was beautiful and loved by her parents, but she had a strong temper. After being harmed by Liu Xiangu's son, she quickly figured out the truth and hanged herself without leaving a word to her parents.
Xiangu Liu's son dressed up as a woman without any flaws. Dou's parents had no idea that it was a man who slept with their daughter every night. They were completely dumbfounded when faced with their daughter's death and could not figure out the reason at all.
When Liu Xiangu realized that someone had been killed, she quickly fled.
Miss Dou had a fiancé. They had been childhood sweethearts. When he grew up, he became a military general stationed in Lincheng. Because there was a civil unrest at that time, he followed his superiors to quell the rebellion. When he came back and learned that his fiancée had died, he almost went crazy.
Faced with the questioning of their future son-in-law, Miss Dou's parents could only cry.
The death of his fiancée became an indelible pain for this man. He couldn't believe that his fiancée would commit suicide out of anger over such a trivial matter. Something must have happened that his fiancée could not bear.
The man turned his attention to Liu Xiangu who appeared at the Dou family.
It was just that communication was difficult at that time, and when Fairy Liu left, she was like a drop of water into the sea, and her shadow could no longer be found.
As for those families who were scattered in different towns and were harmed by Liu Xiangu, even if they figured out the truth, they had no choice but to keep it secret. Not only did they not dare to say a word against Liu Xiangu to outsiders, they also had to swallow their pride and praise her for her abilities.
When the victim takes the initiative to cover up for the perpetrator, it becomes extremely difficult for outsiders to get to know the truth.
This wait lasted for more than ten years.
The man finally figured out the truth after a lot of guessing and investigation. He angrily chopped off the roots of Liu Xiangu's son, then went straight to the capital, hid in Liu Xiangu's home, and hacked her to death with a knife at night.
When the family who invited Liu Xiangu to perform a ritual sent someone to look for her, the man had already left the capital and returned to the town where his fiancée lived.
Cases like this are the most difficult to investigate, because even if the government searches for everyone who had a grudge against Liu Xiangu, they can't think of anyone who went back more than ten years.
What's more, Fairy Liu was not from a wealthy family. She was just a woman from the mountains. She relied on her reputation to deal with the nobles. Once she died, she was forgotten and gradually became a mystery.
Yu Jin had been investigating Liu Xiangu's affairs at Jiang Si's request, which was why she was able to target that man and dig up so much information.
The man's ending made Jiang Si sigh for a long time.
After leaving his parents to be taken care of by his brothers, the man committed suicide in front of his fiancée's grave.
This incident also caused a sensation in the local area.
The locals said that the man was too infatuated. He had been thinking about his fiancée for more than ten years and finally couldn't help but follow her.
No one connected the death of this man with the death of a witch in the capital. Or, the fairy Liu who appeared here more than ten years ago had long been completely forgotten by people, and it was impossible for the news of what happened in the distant capital to reach here.
Jiang Si still remembered Yu Jin's unhappy look when she expressed the man's undying envy for his fiancée.
She rolled her eyes at him and said that there were not many men like him in the world.
Yu Jin said, "It took him more than ten years to get revenge and find his fiancée. I guess she must have waited so long for him that she must have been reincarnated. What's there to envy about such a stupid man?"
The two of them laughed and argued for a few words, then let the matter go.
Before the time agreed with Liu Xiangu, Jiang Si left A Man behind and left first.
Liu Xiangu, who arrived on time for the appointment, was relieved when she didn't see Jiang Si. "I don't want the money. I also want to thank the fourth lady for her help."
"That won't do. Our girl said that it is only natural to pay back debts. Please take it. Also, when you see our girl in the future, just treat her as a stranger."
Fairy Liu was overjoyed and took back the two hundred taels of silver and left happily.
A few days later, a young man came to a small town hundreds of miles away from the capital.
The man was in his early twenties and was quite handsome, but his walking manner showed that he looked a bit frivolous.
Such a man appeared in the small town inconspicuously.
The young man stopped in front of a bar, stroking his chin and muttering, "Is the man the girl was talking about someone who often drinks in this bar?"
Just then, a customer was walking out. The young man grabbed him and stuffed a few copper coins into his mouth: "Brother, is General Qin here to drink?"
The drinker pointed to the tavern and said vaguely, "I'm drinking inside."
"Thank you." The young man walked into the tavern.
