Chapter 145 The man next door is a gigolo
"No, no, no!" Mrs. Zhang shook her hands hurriedly.
She wanted to take a few steps forward, but the man glared at her, and Mrs. Zhang immediately stopped and dared not move.
He looked Mrs. Zhang up and down, and Mrs. Zhang calmly moved her left hand behind her.
After making sure that nothing was wrong, the man waved his hand.
"Go and cook. If I catch you sneaking out again, you and your son will be dead!"
Mrs. Zhang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She quickly ran to the kitchen, locked the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, Zhang Dashan invited this great god from somewhere. The man was very generous and said that he was a foreigner passing by and wanted to stay here for a few days. He gave him ten taels of silver and a jade bracelet.
Mrs. Zhang took the silver with a smile on her face, thinking that she and her son had been cheated.
Who knew that this person would become more and more strange.
He did not allow Mrs. Zhang to use the money to sell meat, and he also restricted her and asked her to go out less.
She even forbade Mrs. Zhang to wear the bracelet he gave her, saying that she could only take it out after he left.
How could Mrs. Zhang bear it?
She sneaked out to show off, and lied to the man, saying that her family often ate meat, so she went to the city to buy the pork elbow.
He's just a passer-by, but you're meddling too much.
I originally thought he would leave after two days, but I didn't expect that he stayed for five or six days and didn't even show any intention of leaving.
He even came out of the cellar today and threatened to kill her and her son.
Mrs. Zhang felt very uneasy and felt as if she had provoked someone she shouldn't have.
"Buddha, please bless this man and let him go quickly!" Mrs. Zhang put her hands together and prayed continuously.
After praying, she hid the bracelet behind the firewood and started to light a fire and cook.
Mrs. Zhang didn't know that the person sitting in the main hall of her house was Zhuque, the attendant of Marquis Lu.
Zhuque has been in Yuntong County for some time.
At the beginning, he pretended to be a businessman and lied to Ye Dacheng that he had a big deal to discuss with him.
After gaining their trust, he tricked Ye Dacheng's entire family out by claiming that his wife had invited them to her home.
Ye Dacheng's house had just been robbed, and now that he had the chance, he was blinded by the money.
It wasn't until Suzaku was about to take action that he realized something was wrong.
He abandoned his wife and daughter and hid in the mountains alone.
In order to let Ye Dacheng escape, Zou clung to Zhuque's legs tightly. Even after her death, it was Zhuque who broke her arms to get rid of her.
However, when Zhuque came to find Ye Dacheng again, Ye Dacheng had disappeared.
Zhuque had no choice but to dig a hole to bury Zou and Ye Xinyao first, and then go to the mountains to find Ye Dacheng.
He searched in the mountains for five days and five nights, until finally he forced Ye Dacheng to a cliff.
Ye Dacheng was afraid of being caught, so he jumped off the cliff in front of him. Zhuque tried hard to catch him, but only managed to grab a piece of his clothes.
Suzaku was extremely angry.
He has wasted too much time because of a small negligence.
There were four members of the Ye family, but there was still one person who had not been dealt with. He did not have time to go down the cliff to check whether Ye Dacheng was dead or not. Instead, he went down the mountain immediately to look for Ye Xinran.
Ye Xinran is the person that the Marquis has mentioned who must be dealt with, so he must hurry and not let anyone discover any clues.
It's just that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
As soon as he came down the mountain, he heard that the bodies of Zou and Ye Xinyao had been found and dug out by constables from the county government.
Suzaku knew something was wrong.
He was afraid of exposing his identity and did not dare to openly inquire about Ye Xinran's whereabouts.
Just when he was feeling a bit embarrassed, he heard that the county government had summoned Ye Xinran to question the case.
Zhuque followed them to the lobby, and then followed the Xiao family's carriage all the way to Yunbian Village.
I originally wanted to kill the last person of the Ye family while it was late at night.
But when he arrived, he found that the man next to Ye Xinran was not simple.
Maybe I am not even his opponent.
To ensure that everything went smoothly, Zhuque knocked on the door of Mrs. Zhang's house, pretending to be a businessman passing by and wanted to stay at their house for a few days.
According to Zhuque's plan, he lived next door and could see Ye Xinran's movements at any time. As long as Ye Xinran separated from that man, he could take action.
Unexpectedly, the two people seemed to be stuck together.
Except when the man goes to the toilet, Ye Xinran will not follow him out. The rest of the time, the two of them go in and out together.
Suzaku was at a loss for a moment and could only wait for the opportunity.
As a result, the mother and son of the Zhang family were greedy and stupid. Not only did they ask for money from him openly or secretly, but they also showed off outside.
Suzaku wanted to kill them to shut them up.
But he was afraid that people in the village would notice something was wrong, so he could only watch Mrs. Zhang himself and ask her to behave herself.
Time waits for no one, and the Marquis is still waiting for him to return and report.
After living there for a few days, Zhuque decided not to wait any longer and to take a risk at midnight today.
In the evening, Mrs. Zhang cooked wild vegetable porridge.
Zhuque frowned as he looked at the black paste of wild vegetables.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly explained: "There is no food at home. The newly harvested rice is not dry yet! You don't let me go out to buy food, so I can only eat this!"
The food at Dadashan was very delicious.
Zhuque picked up the bowl and took a few bites reluctantly.
Then he asked, "What does the man next door do?"
Mrs. Zhang had long noticed that he was very concerned about the Xiao family next door. She had been secretly looking over there from time to time in the past few days. He must have taken a fancy to Ye Xinran.
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes.
I had wanted Zhang Dashan to take action against Ye Xinran, but I never thought that Xiao Huaian’s leg would actually heal.
If this man could fight Xiao Huaian to the death, his son might be able to get the upper hand.
A widow is a widow as long as she can help me make money.
"Ask Xiao Huaian why the guests still care about him!" she asked deliberately.
"Just answer the questions you are asked and stop talking nonsense." Zhuque was impatient.
Mrs. Zhang then said, "That Xiao Huaian was a poor man who was exiled here. He was originally a cripple who made a living by hunting. Later, he got married and somehow his legs got healed.
Now they don’t go hunting in the mountains anymore, they just stay at home and eat free meals!”
"Living off a woman?" Zhuque repeated these three words.
"Yes, he relies on his wife to sell some medicinal herbs to support him." Mrs. Zhang said while observing Zhuque's expression.
Zhuque had been observing for so many days, but he didn't expect this result.
Any man with a bit of blood in his veins will not live off a womanizer.
This Xiao Huaian...
Xiao Huaian?
Zhuque suddenly felt that this name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
But I couldn't remember it for a moment.
But it doesn't matter what his name is.
In Zhuque's eyes, Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran were both dead.
Tonight, they will surely die by their own knives.
