Chapter 258 The Tragedy of the Shuai Family

Yang Shucheng heard crying in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so he walked downstairs to the hall and asked the boy what was going on?

The little boy was very sleepy and having a sweet dream, but when Yang Shucheng wanted to ask what was going on with the crying person? Suddenly he became energetic and stopped falling asleep, so he started talking to Yang Shucheng nonstop.

It turns out that there is a grocery store next door, and the owner's surname is Shuai. Although the business is not very prosperous, the life is not bad.

This boy married a daughter-in-law from out of town last year. I don't want this boy to be lucky. The newly married wife is very good-looking.

This new daughter-in-law's name was Huizhen in her natal family. When she married into Shuai's family, everyone called her: Shuai Huizhen.

Every day, people come to Shuai's grocery store and pretend to buy something, just to see their daughter-in-law, Shuai Huizhen.

But this new daughter-in-law was very shy and didn't leave the house at first. But the family also needed someone to look after the store. The new daughter-in-law had no choice but to show up and help sell some groceries.

More people came to buy groceries, and the business of this small grocery store, which had been stagnant for many years, suddenly improved.

One day, there was a rich man named Zheng Mingyun in Laohekou County. He came to Hongshanzui Town on horseback with a servant.

Passing by the grocery store, by coincidence, the entire Shuai family was busy in the backyard, and only the new daughter-in-law, Shuai Huizhen, was left in the store to take care of them.

When Zheng Mingyun came into the store, he suddenly saw this beautiful daughter-in-law, and he couldn't bear to look away.

The new daughter-in-law was shy and kept her head down. Seeing that the customer was not leaving the store, there was nothing she could do, so she asked softly: "Master, what do you want to buy?"

Zheng Mingyun felt his bones soften after hearing her sweet voice. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I want to buy this, I want to buy that, in short, I bought a lot of things."

Zheng Mingyun lived in our store, and he fell in love with this new wife. He didn't think about food and drinks every day. After staying for two days, he came up with a vicious plan.

He asked his servant to invite the boy from the Shuai family over, saying that he had goods piled on the bank of the Han River, and asked the boy named Shuai to help him carry them back. The boy didn't know it was a trick, so he immediately agreed.

The three of them walked to the river.

The river beach is full of Bamao and some sparse willow trees. There are no fields and no people. It is very desolate.

Arriving at the bank of the Han River, Zheng Mingyun pursed his lips. The servant looked around, but there was no one there. He picked up a big stone and hit the handsome boy with a stone on his head. He hit his head with blood on the spot and fell to the ground, unable to move again.

The servant picked him up and threw him into the Han River, watching him drift downstream with the current.

Zheng Mingyun figured that after a few days, he would take his new wife home by force.

Zheng Mingyun's family is a great one. His father once served as a county magistrate, but was dismissed from office for corruption. When he returned to Laohekou, his family owned thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless servants.

Zheng Mingyun came back without incident and still lives in our store.

Unexpectedly, that handsome boy came back at night.

It turned out that he was thrown into the river, and when he was stirred by the cold water, he came to life. He climbed ashore. It was already midnight, and there was no one around.

The kid struggled to walk home and knocked on the door with all his strength.

The family didn't see the boy come back for a long time and thought he had gone somewhere else to play. Unexpectedly, when they opened the door, the boy was standing outside covered in blood.

The family was shocked, and the boy opened his mouth and said, "It was Zheng Ming from the store next door who hit me with a stone and threw me into the Han River." After saying this, he relaxed and there was a "thud" sound. , fell to the ground, really out of breath.

When the handsome family saw that Zheng Mingyun had beaten someone to death, the old man hurriedly brought his wife and daughter-in-law, Shuai Huizhen, to the door of the hotel.

It was midnight, the store door was closed, the old man knocked on the door, and the door opened. Zheng Mingyun felt guilty and walked out. The old man grabbed Zheng Mingyun and said: "You beat my son to death, you must die."

Zheng Mingyun's face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless. It took him a long time to say a complete sentence: "What evidence do you have?"

The old man said: "Now the body is lying in my house."

Although Zheng Mingyun was a playboy, he was not stupid and refused to admit that he was the one who killed the person. Seeing that Zheng Mingyun refused to admit it, the old man was so angry that he punched him with his fists.

The servant was eager to protect his master. When he saw the old man punching his master several times, he looked at the old man and kicked him on the chest.

The old man received a kick, and then he stepped back, leaned back, and fell to the ground, motionless.

There were two murder cases in a row. What a big deal. A whole town of people immediately gathered around to watch the fun.

The commotion continued until dawn. Dozens of people from the neighboring houses, led by the mayor, grabbed Zheng Mingyun's master and servants and arrived at the Laohekou County Government Office.

After several days of autopsy, evidence collection, and trial, we finally found out. The cause of death of the boy named Shuai is unknown and cannot be blamed on Zheng Mingyun.

As for the death of the old man, he was the one who hit someone first and was kicked to death by a servant. It was an accidental injury. The Zheng family must pay twenty taels of silver.

The Shuai family didn't win the lawsuit, so they had to take the twenty taels of silver home and bury the old man and the young man.

There were still more than ten taels of silver left, which was hidden in a secret crack in the wall. I don't know who it was, but it was stolen by a thief in the middle of the night.

The Shuai family was completely ruined, and the old woman cried day and night until she went blind from crying.

Later, I found out that when the Shuai family complained, Zheng Mingyun's father had served as a county magistrate and gave money to the Laohekou county magistrate, so the county magistrate ended the case in such a confused manner.

Therefore, the Shuai family is dissatisfied, and Shuai Huizhen wants to take the blind old woman to Xiangyang Mansion to complain. He is expected to leave in the next few days.

Tonight, it was the handsome old woman and the young daughter-in-law who were crying, which alarmed the guests.

This little guy usually entertains guests and is the most clever and eloquent. When Yang Shucheng came to ask him tonight, he told what happened in detail.

Yang Shucheng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

Yang Shucheng thought about how to help this poor family.

Therefore, the two of them sat in the hotel in the middle of the night, not talking for a while.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came down from upstairs, holding a ghost-headed sword on his shoulder.

Thinking about it, if he stayed up in the middle of the night, he would be a knight-errant who was fighting against injustice.

The knight walked downstairs step by step until he came to the two of them, stopped and sat in front of them.

The knight said to the boy: "You tell a wonderful story!"

The little boy felt a little embarrassed when he saw his praise. He said humbly: "I can clearly see what happened outside my shop, so of course I can explain it well."

The knight said slowly: "You are so good at talking, do you know? You will die tonight!"

"Will you die? I don't know." The boy was confused.

"When you've finished telling your story, of course you're going to die."

"why?"

The knight looked at the young man and said calmly: "I'm going to kill the handsome mother and daughter tonight. Since you know, you have to die."

"Why are you going to kill their family?" The young man finally came to his senses and thought that the knight was pretending to be a ghost to scare him.
