In the summer of the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Ye Ying retreated.Ye Hui didn't even know about this retreat, but the blind sister-in-law who later played Haitang was afraid of accidents and took the initiative to tell Ye Hui.

Ye Hui went to the guest room where Haitang usually lived, and found that Ye Ying had left a note for herself, explaining how to deal with the next few things.A few figures, but full of Ye Ying's painstaking efforts.

"Ah Hui is in charge of all the affairs of the villa, and the blind sister-in-law is sent home through the funeral."

It happened suddenly, Ye Hui didn't know what happened, but he knew that this retreat must be very important to Ye Ying.He acted according to the plan, and after consulting the blind sister-in-law, he decided to send the blind sister-in-law away on the grounds that the wife of the owner of the village had died of illness.

The urgency of this funeral is unprecedented.People in the Jianghu even only know that the Ye family made a funeral, but there are even different versions of who made the funeral.The speed from funeral to disembarkation is even more unheard of. He died last night, kept guard for the whole night, and then the funeral was held the next day to close the coffin.It took only ten days for the hearse to go all the way to Luoyang. The place where the burial was halfway up a mountain did not even have a stele.

As for the fact that one person was missing in the funeral procession when passing through Luodao, who would have noticed?

And on the other side, it has been a month since Ye Tianji accompanied Haitang to find some enemy, why there is not even a letter?Ye Hui couldn't write a letter to ask, so he sent a disciple named Ye Heng to inquire, but half a month passed and there was no news.

It has been two months since they left, and Haitang and others have been trapped in Quanjia Town for five days.The road out of the city was cleared, but the road to the surrounding villages was still blocked by mud.I don't know if Hu Ruozi has found the old man, let alone how they are alive or dead, Haitang is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, unable to sit still for a moment.

The stuff of Duoniang's husband, Quan Juxin, appeared again, and for a while, public opinion fell on this foreigner again.Although Haitang had doubts about her, she sympathized with her very much.A woman who left her hometown and came to this village, her husband lost her child, and now she is even suspected of being the murderer of her husband.Haitang felt that she had gone too far, but the appearance of that bow deepened her suspicion.

Pei Yuan said that the skeleton did not have any man-made trauma, and it has been sinking in a depression at the bottom of the river. Not so much.

Haitang thought to herself that this is a kind of God's work, but then she thought that it was too bad for her to say that after everyone was dead.Besides, it is just a suspicion now, the place where the bow appeared was where the bones flowed down the river, it only strengthened the suspicion of the owner of the bones, but it did not mean that it was Duoniang's husband Quan Juxin.

This day Haitang was going to look for Duo Niang again, but Ye Tianji stopped her with a sword across the door.

Haitang didn't look at him, "Tianji, get out of the way."

"Young Madam, I think you should stop looking for Duo Niang." Ye Tianji shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "She can't be innocent."

Haitang pursed her lips, "Why isn't she innocent?"

Ye Tianji threw the bamboo tube to Haitang, and Haitang reached out to catch it.Ye Tianji withdrew his sword. He didn't mean to be disrespectful towards Haitang, but he had seen Haitang's attack on him before, and he couldn't stop her without violent means, and he couldn't stop her even with violent means.Such a gentle Haitang, there is no Haitang who confronts him head-on, this is the first time he has seen it.

Opening the bamboo tube, it was Hu Ruozi's handwriting. She was overjoyed, "Senior Sister, she's fine!"

Ye Tianji thought that not only was she fine, but that she lived more comfortably in Renquanjia Village than they did.The reason is simple—on the day she went, a child fell into the water, and she bravely rescued him. The child happened to be the village chief's child, and she brought the whole village to thank her and treat her as a distinguished guest treat.

After the mudslides, the only road leading to the town in the village was also blocked. Hu Ruozi acted bravely and won the gratitude of the whole village. Now she is an omnipotent living Bodhisattva in the village.

"So the road has been cleared?" Haitang asked while watching.

"Yeah." Ye Tianji smiled, Hu Ruozi had already found the old man, and now he was staying at his house to protect his safety.

But the more he looked down, Haitang's expression became more dignified.

"What about things?"

Ye Tianji took out a small package wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and opened it.It is a pair of longevity locks with words engraved on them.When she closed the note, Ye Tianji thought she was going out again, so he blocked the door, but saw her turn around and sit down.

He seemed anxious, but he didn't seem to care.

He doesn't understand this person anymore!

It happened that Ye Feiyan came back from outside.Haitang pulled Ye Feiyan and the first sentence was "What do the villagers think of Duo Niang", which stunned Ye Feiyan, and after thinking about it, "It's pretty good, occasionally someone brings food to Duo Niang, and she also I smiled and gave the other party some cloth I wove."

"Where's her husband?"

"Drunkard." Ye Feiyan did not hesitate, "Drunk and beat women, Duo Niang was often beaten, and I could always hear her crying in the middle of the night."

Hesitant, but seeing Haitang's pensive look, Ye Feiyan decided to be brave and tugged at her sleeve, "Young Madam, I think, don't look into it. Anyway, I don't know who the skeleton is, so even if it's true It belongs to Quan Juxin, and the whole town doesn't like him very much, and some people even think that his death deserves more... I think, let's not investigate."

"Can--"

But in the final analysis, it is still a human life. Even if he deserves to die, he should not abuse lynching...

But before Haitang could make any decision, there was noise from downstairs.Haitang pushed open the window, there was no one else downstairs, but it was Duo Niang who was being dragged by a man wearing official clothes, who still yelled that she was a "murderer".

"Flying geese!"

"promise!"

Ye Feiyan turned around and jumped out of the window onto the street, holding an epee in front of the Yacha, with a smile on his face, "Brother Cha, what are you doing?"

The Yachai raised his eyebrows: "Get out of the way! Stop me again and be careful, I'll catch you together!"

The corners of Ye Feiyan's eyes showed disdain, "I am under the command of General Tiance Mansion, if you dare to arrest me, I will let the general execute you on the spot!"

Duo Niang was shocked, the general of Tiance Mansion...

Is she really going to fall into that man's hands in her life?

"Give her to me, our general will interrogate her!"

Yacha is still Yacha after all, after weighing the pros and cons, he reluctantly handed Duo Niang to Ye Feiyan.Ye Feiyan didn't let go of the rope in her hand, and dragged her to the station.The shopkeeper of the inn had long since slipped away, so he didn't want to get involved in such a mess.

Duo Niang was brought in front of Haitang.Haitang was wearing ordinary clothes, with her back facing her.She voluntarily knelt down and took a peek at Haitang, feeling like she had seen it somewhere before.

Haitang stood up, and Duo Niang buried her head on the ground in fright.

Gently pulling her up with one hand, Duo Niang raised her head and met Haitang's eyes.

Unable to hold back her surprise and fear, she murmured, "Little?"

Haitang looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Duo Niang, I lied to you. I'm a disciple of the Tiance Mansion, Ye Haitang."

Ye Tianji closed the door, apart from Duoniang, only Haitang, Ye Feiyan and Ye Tianji were in the room.Sitting in front of Duo Niang, her words were so calm, so calm that she was a bit cold, "Duo Niang, Nan Duo, did you kill your husband Quan Juxin?"

Duo Niang was as calm as a pool of stagnant water: "Return to the general, no, he was drunk that day and knocked me out. When I woke up, my child disappeared with him."

"But someone saw you that night."

Duo Niang's panicked eyes could not escape Hai Tang's eyes, but it was only for a moment.Soon her eyes returned to calm, "Please bring the witness, the general, and I am willing to confront him face to face."

Haitang didn't speak, Ye Tianji took out two blackened longevity locks from his bosom, and put them in front of Duo Niang, "Duo Niang, please take a closer look, what are the words engraved on them?"

She picked up the longevity lock, but at that moment tears were pouring down her eyes.

The words "Nian Chang" and "Nian An" were engraved on it respectively. She just saw these two words, but couldn't help crying, "Oh my God..."

Ye Feiyan hugged her collapsed, and gently stroked her back.No one in the room spoke, and everyone seemed to know that the woman would speak for herself.

"You kill me." Duo Niang sobbed, "I killed that bitch, I killed him, he deserved it, he deserved it! My two children, they are so little, just now Knowing how to call mother... I thought I could spend my whole life with that bastard for these two children, but he actually suspected that Nian Chang and Nian An were not his own! He locked up us mother and child without food after drinking Eat, thinking about how young Nian'an is, they don't even have to drink milk..."

The two longevity locks she held in her hands were so worn out that she was trembling, and her words gradually became incomplete.

"That bitch tied me up and beat them in front of me. I was dirty by him, and I don't want my children to grow up around such a dirty father. But I am selfish, I fight for my life Having given birth to them, their father suspects that they are not his own!"

"That day, he went to bed very early and said that someone in the whole family village wanted to take advantage of the blessings of twin brothers and sisters Nian Chang and Nian An to give birth to twins, and he would take them away the next day. That day, the brothers and sisters Nian Chang and Nian An were very quiet. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I didn’t call out, cry or ask mother to feed me once.”

She didn't say anything further, and Haitang had already guessed what happened next.

Hu Ruozi said that there was a family in Quanjia Village whose son died of illness two years ago. Before he died, he wanted a doll to be buried with him as a yin relative, so he spent ten taels of silver to buy Nian'an's life.That Quan Juxin refused to marry his daughter alone, and insisted on hiring a book boy for his son.The lives of the two children were eventually exchanged for 15 taels of silver.

This man strangled his own two sons and daughters with his own hands.

Haitang closed her eyes, she didn't know what to do with this matter.

Should she be sent to the court according to the law, or...

"Feiyan, send her home first, and remember to scold her, just say that she has offended the general." Ye Tianji reminded: "You didn't hear anything about what I just said."

Ye Feiyan took the order and took her back to her home cursing.

"I said it's better not to worry about it." Ye Tianji spread his hands, "Young Madam, what should I do now?"

She lowered her eyes, "I don't know."

Duo Niang is guilty, but Duo Niang is not guilty.

Haitang thought from the bottom of her heart, if Ye Ying was... no, I can't make him worry.She suddenly remembered a little girl she met that year. In the end, because of her hesitation, the little girl's mother injured Hu Ruozi, and it was Ye Ying who stabbed the sword and ended everything.Over the years, she has never forgotten that, no matter whether it was the girl or Hu Ruozi, she was hurt that time, and she always remembers it.

Haitang stood up, her eyes glowed.

"Tianji, let's go to the government office."

In the summer of the 18th year of Kaiyuan, a bowl of poison made a woman who killed her husband disappear from the world, and also brought a woman who had regained her freedom back to the world.

Haitang didn't go to see him off, only Yin Changli went.He sent Duo Niang near Jinshui Town, took out several strings of copper plates from his pocket, and explained in detail: "From now on, you are no longer Duo Niang, Duo Niang has been dealt with by the court law. We can help you There are not many, but if you are in trouble, just find the sign of Hidden Sword Villa, saying that you are an acquaintance of Mrs. Haitang, and naturally someone will come to take care of you, understand?"

Duo Niang knelt down and was pulled up by Yin Changli.Looking back again and again, Yin Changli watched her disappear into the night.

"From now on, I hope you can forget the past and start a new life." Yin Changli thought.
