The leader was holding a lantern, which made his face look horribly pale. Especially when he slowly turned around and bared his teeth in a smile, Xie Zhao couldn't help but feel his eyebrows twitch.

I saw a few boys carrying a huge coffin.

The body of the coffin was red, as if blood was flowing out. It was surrounded by carvings and inlaid with several extremely rare luminous pearls.

"Be careful when you carry it, don't bump it."

The servants of the Jiang Mansion pushed over a huge trolley and placed it on the head of the coffin. The group used their strength to push it forward, moving cautiously.

Xie Zhao took a deep breath and recalled Jiang Fulu's perfunctory attitude in entertaining him.

If Jiang Huaiqing hadn't stopped him on the way out, Xie Zhao would have already left the house by this time.

Is there anything you should avoid him specifically?

Xie Zhao lowered his eyes and thought of a case a few days ago.

A headless body was found in a farmland on the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhang Song, the widower of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, checked and determined that she was a young woman under [-]. Because she was headless, her identity could not be confirmed for the time being.

There has been no progress in the case for several days.

Now that Jiang Mansion is transporting coffins late at night, could it be related to the case?

When the coffin entered the Jiang Mansion, Xie Zhao blew the whistle and his men came immediately.

"You send the food box back to Xie's Mansion first, and inform the old lady and Madam that I have official business at the Yamen and will return to the Mansion later."

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he took out a towel and covered his face, jumped up on the spot, and soon disappeared.

The study room in the front yard of Jiang Mansion is brightly lit.

Jiang Fulu met the boy who came to deliver the coffin, and he was more approachable than before: "I'll tell you sir the news. Within a month, I will definitely get what I want."

The two were classmates and good friends at the time, so there was no need to be polite.

The steward who came with him smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are out of sight now. Even if I don't do anything for you, my master still takes you into his heart."

After a few words of greeting, Jiang Fulu's patience was running out.

When the steward saw this, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Xie Zhao hid on the roof, lifted the tiles and took a peek. He saw Jiang Fulu put on his official uniform, walked around the coffin several times, and then without warning, he clapped his hands and laughed three times.

Xie Zhao was not prepared. He staggered and almost fell off the roof.

In the past, Xie Zhao often took his men out to inquire, mostly focusing on noble families. Could it be that his father-in-law Jiang Fulu slipped through the net?

The murderer transports the coffin to the house, this...

Xie Zhao's heart trembled and he held his breath and concentrated.

At this moment in the room, Jiang Fulu was ready to open the coffin.

The coffin lid was customized with a special wooden board, and Jiang Fulu opened the coffin board easily.

From Xie Zhao's perspective, he couldn't see the internal structure of the coffin, so he decided to move his body to a more intuitive angle.

After opening the coffin, Jiang Fulu sat down to drink tea and hummed a light tune.

Soon, the steward of the Jiang family outside the door asked to see him, and he sent a servant in with a sturdier frame.

The frame encloses the coffin, and is then surrounded by a fine veil.

Jiang Fulu was directing his subordinates and asked the steward: "What are you busy with, madam?"

Jiang Fulu was not going to sleep with Chen tonight, so he needed to send someone to tell him.

The steward replied respectfully: "Madam is making a feather duster, please do as you wish."

This large frame was custom-made by Chen before using a carpenter.

"Madam said, now that the weather is hot, mosquitoes are starting to appear, so I need to make you a mosquito-proof curtain."

After the steward finished speaking, Jiang Fulu's face became even brighter. His wife was attentive!

Jiang Fulu pretended not to care and asked, "By the way, who is the feather duster for?"

He has been very honest recently and has not offended his wife!

The steward suppressed a smile and said, "Master, you are worrying too much. You are doing it for the Second Young Master."

When Jiang Fulu heard this, he touched his beard. If it wasn't prepared for him, there was no need to worry.

Suddenly, several of the oil lamps in the room went out, leaving only a red candle.

Jiang Fulu lit three sticks of incense and worshiped three times devoutly towards the corner, as if he was performing an ancient ritual.

"You will be happy when you see the coffin, you will be promoted and get rich, and the wealth will come rolling in!"

Jiang Fulu read it loudly three times, then stepped on the small ladder and entered the coffin.

Within a quarter of an hour, there was a snoring sound inside the coffin.

Xie Zhao made no move and was petrified on the roof.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined it!

His father-in-law, Jiang Fulu, secretly accepted bribes and a coffin, and lived in it himself, just because the coffin symbolized promotion and wealth.

This ambition... is obvious.

Chen not only did not stop him, but also made a mosquito-proof curtain to support Jiang Fulu's personal hobby.

Outrageous, outrageous!

The coffin was spacious inside, and Jiang Fulu slept soundly.

For a moment, Xie Zhaodu had the idea of ​​trying.

After spending too much time in Jiang's house, Shen was still waiting for someone after returning to Xie's house: "Yuanhe, you came back so late, didn't you disturb Yuzhu's rest?"

Xie Zhao had not yet woken up from the shock of the Jiang family scene and remained silent.

In fact, he and Jiang Yuzhu were not in the same courtyard, and they lived in different rooms.

No matter how late he came back, there would be no news from Jiang Yuzhu.

Mrs. Shen waved his hand carelessly, pointed at the warm porridge in front of him and said, "You have a stomachache, drink a bowl of porridge and rest early."

Xie Zhao was still in a daze, no doubt that he was there.

After he drank the hot porridge, he quickly noticed that his lower abdomen felt warm. This felt wrong!

Feeling uneasy, Xie Zhao asked coldly: "Mom, what did you add to the porridge?"

What was added?Naturally, Mr. Shen would not admit it.

Thinking that it was Xie Zhao who was in the wrong, Mrs. Shen became even more adamant: "For you, my mother spent 500 taels to find a Taoist priest for a harmonious marriage. The Taoist priest said that after drinking a bowl of porridge, all your lost emotions and six desires will return to their places."

Seeing that her son was a little weak, Mrs. Shen hurriedly ordered the maid: "Let Manager Xie arrange for two strong women to carry Yuan He into Yuzhu's room!"

Xie Zhao: "..."

The first thing in the morning tomorrow is to visit the lair of the deceitful Taoist priest!

Xie Zhao was about to resist, but saw his mother wiping away tears, so he decided not to act rashly yet.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Shen was still wiping her tears and crying with joy.

It was late at night, and Jiang Yuzhu had just laid down when the door was suddenly knocked open and Xie Zhao was thrown in like a burden.

"Master, how do you..."

Jiang Yuzhu lit the oil lamp and found that Xie Zhao had a nosebleed.

She took a step forward and was about to help him clean his face, but Xie Zhao grabbed her hand.

Jiang Yuzhu's ten fingers were not touched by Yang Chun Shui. Her fingers were as white as jade and her palms were soft.

Xie Zhao's deep brows almost burst into flames. He instinctively moved his body and said patiently, "Yuzhu, quickly find a rope and tie up my husband."

The fire in his body grew stronger and stronger. Xie Zhao bit his tongue and tried to resist it, but it was still difficult to resist the burning feeling.

Xie Zhao's self-esteem would not allow him to act like an animal when he was irrational.

Jiang Yuzhu was also a little panicked and was about to run out, but found that the windows and doors were locked.

Oh my gosh, she's still in her infancy!

"Master, I'm sorry!"

There was no rope in the room, so Jiang Yuzhu suddenly had an idea and rummaged under the bed to find a package.

Then, she took out a few feet of white silk and quickly tied Xie Zhao to the foot of the bed.

Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Zhao frowned and looked at Bai Ling intently, his eyes full of disbelief.

So, is it so hard to marry him?

Jiang Yuzhu was loved by the whole family in the Jiang family. Did she have any thoughts of surrendering after marrying into the Xie family?

Jiang Yuzhu saw Xie Zhao's thoughts and felt that it was a misunderstanding.

Since she wore a book, she didn't have much room to move when she went out in a carriage, so she got Bai Ling and did high-altitude yoga every day to exercise her body's flexibility.

Forget it, no more explanation!
