Shi Xiudao: "When my younger brother doesn't come, everything he says is false."

Yang Xiong said goodbye to Shi Xiu immediately, left the inn, and went back to the mansion to do his business.This guy didn't expect that Shi Xiu had already made up his mind to force him to kill his wife, which would cause him to lose his job tomorrow and go into exile!

Yang Xiong stayed in Jizhou Mansion till the end of the day and went home. He didn't mention Pei Ruhai's murder to Pan Qiaoyun, just like every day, which made Pan Qiaoyun, who had been worried all day, secretly thankful and relieved.

Yang Xiong didn't break out as expected, but disappointed Shi Qian who had been peeping in the dark all night.

The next day, Yang Xiong got up at dawn and said to Pan Qiaoyun: "Last night I dreamed that a god blamed me, saying that I had an old wish and never got it. I made a wish for the stick of incense in the Yue Temple outside the east gate, but I never got it back. I'm free today. , I’m going to pay it back. I must go with you.”

Pan Qiaoyun said: "You go and pay it back. What's the use of me?"

Yang Xiong said: "This wish was made when we first announced our marriage, and I must go with you."

Pan Qiaoyun heard this and said: "Since it's this place, let's have a vegetarian meal earlier, boil soup and take a bath."

Yang Xiong said: "I'll buy incense paper and hire a sedan chair. Then you take a bath, comb your hair and put on your belt, etc. I'll ask Yinger to go for a walk too."

Pan Qiaoyun didn't know what it was, so she agreed wholeheartedly.Yang Xiong went out of the house, and Pan Qiaoyun happily dressed up at home.

Shi Qian was still hiding on the beam of Yang Xiong's house at this time. He heard the conversation between Yang Xiong and Pan Qiaoyun, and thought to himself: "Isn't Yang Xiong a stupid woman? Yesterday her lover was killed in the back alley for no apparent reason. Yang Xiong proposed to take her out of the city to fulfill his wish, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? I think Yang Xiong must have something to do, today let's follow this silly woman closely to see if there is any opportunity!"

Shi Qian was lying on the beam of the house salivating, peeping at Pan Qiaoyun taking a bath and changing clothes.This night, the wait was really not in vain!

……

Yang Xiong came to the inn again and made an appointment with Shi Xiu.Then he bought paper candles and came back to use them for breakfast.

Pan Qiaoyun was neatly dressed, and her maid Ying'er also put on her belt.The two followed Yang Xiong out of the door.I saw the bearer hired by Yang Xiong, carrying the sedan chair, waiting in front of the door.

Yang Xiong said to his father-in-law: "Take care of Mount Tai to look after the house, my sister-in-law and I will go back after burning incense."

Pan Gongdao: "You and your wife burn more incense and pay back your vows. Go early and return early."

Pan Qiaoyun got on the sedan chair, the maid Ying'er followed, and Yang Xiong followed behind, carrying the sedan chair all the way out to the east gate.

Yang Xiong paid the sedan chair bearer in a low voice: "Come with me to Cuiping Mountain, and I will pay you more for the sedan chair."

In less than two hours, the group arrived at Cuiping Mountain early.

Cuiping Mountain is [-] miles away from the east gate of Jizhou. The mountain is full of people's graves, and there are only barren grass and poplars in sight. There is not a single temple or temple.

Yang Xiong took everyone to the middle of the mountain, told the bearers to get off the sedan chair, and asked Pan Qiaoyun to get out of the sedan chair.

Pan Qiaoyun got out of the sedan chair and looked around, but it was just a barren hill, and there was no sign of Yuemiao.She began to feel uneasy, and asked Yang Xiong: "Officer, why did you come to this mountain?"

Yang Xiong said: "Don't ask, lady, you just go up." Then, Yang Xiong gave the bearer a hand and said: "Bearer, just wait here, don't follow, and pay your drink money in a moment."

The bearer replied: "That's okay, the villain is only here to serve."

After hearing this, Pan Qiaoyun became increasingly suspicious.But there is no one in the wild on this barren mountain, what can Pan Qiaoyun do as a woman, so she can only follow Yang Xiong's wishes and follow him up the mountain.

Not far behind Yang Xiong and his party, Shi Qian followed all the way.He saw that Pan Qiaoyun got off the sedan chair and wanted to go up the mountain on foot, he knew that something would happen if Yang Xiong dragged this woman into this wilderness.Shi Qian took advantage of the weeds to hide his figure, detoured quietly and rushed to the front of Yang Xiong and Pan Qiaoyun, wanting to hide in the woods and watch a good show.

When he came up to the mountain, Shi Qian suddenly found a big man standing under a tree in front of him, with a knife across his waist and a stick in his hand, looking at Yang Xiong and the others on their way up the mountain.Fortunately, Shi Qian was a habitual thief who was as light as a swallow, he moved silently and made a detour, so he was not noticed by the big man.

Who is this fellow?Shi Qian feels that today's events are getting weirder.

Yang Xiong led Pan Qiaoyun and greeted his son, and the three of them went up to the fourth or fifth floor of the hill. Pan Qiaoyun said: "Why is there no future for incense paper?"

Yang Xiong said: "I sent people to go up first."

At this time Yang Xiong has seen Shi Xiu looking at them from above, pointing to an ancient tomb.

Yang Xiong understood and led Pan Qiaoyun and maid Ying'er to the ancient tomb.

Seeing this, Shi Xiu put the burden, waist knife and stick under the tree roots, stepped forward, and said to Pan Qiaoyun, "Sister-in-law bows."

Chapter 3 Blessed Sharing

When Pan Qiaoyun saw Shi Xiu, she was startled, knowing that today's event was very bad, she quickly responded: "Why is uncle here?"

Shi Xiu said: "Sister-in-law, brother has been waiting here for a long time."

Pan Qiaoyun asked Yang Xiong in a panic: "Officer, since uncle is here, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yang Xiongdao: "You told me the day before yesterday that my uncle teased you with words many times, and then put his hand on your chest, asking if you were pregnant or not. Today there is no one here, you two understand."

Pan Qiaoyun prevaricated: "Oh! Uncles are all from my own family. What happened to me? I have already forgotten about it..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Qiaoyun showed her favor to Shi Xiu, trying to get the matter over with.

Shi Xiu has long wanted to kill Pan Qiaoyun, how could she easily shirk it?He opened his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law! Has Shi Xiu ever molested you? You have to make it clear today!"

Pan Qiaoyun hesitated and said: "Uncle, what are you talking about when you have nothing to do?... My father and daughter have always treated you kindly, and there was no enmity in the past... There is no misunderstanding..."

Shi Xiu was still aggressive, and said to Pan Qiaoyun: "Sister-in-law! Please look! What is this?" Then she opened the bag, took out the clothes of monk Pei Ruhai and Toutuo, threw them on the ground, and asked: "Do you recognize it?"

Pan Qiaoyun saw it, and knew that her lover Pei Ruhai must have been killed by this uncle Shi Xiu, she was three parts sad and seven parts scared, she blushed for a moment, speechless.

In fact, after Pei Ruhai was killed by Shi Xiu in the back alley of his house yesterday, Yang Xiong understood that Pan Qiaoyun had an affair with Pei Ruhai, the monk of Baoen Temple.With Yang Xiong's temperament, he would probably scold Pan Qiaoyun severely after returning home, and then divorce this unruly woman with a divorce letter.But Shi Xiu confronted Yang Xiong face-to-face, even Yang Xiong, who had soft ears and a weak temper, couldn't hold on to that face.His pale yellow face flushed red, and malice grew in his heart.

Shi Xiu saw it clearly, he swished out his waist knife, and said to Yang Xiong: "I don't want my sister-in-law to feel ashamed? Just ask Ying'er about this!"

Yang Xiong was provoked by Shi Xiu's vicious appearance, and his blood was churning, so he grabbed the girl, knelt in front of him, and shouted angrily: "You little bitch, tell the truth quickly! How do you commit adultery in the monk's room, how do you date the girl?" In the name of Xiangzhuoer, how to teach Toutuo to knock wooden fish, tell me truthfully, spare your life! But let me tell you a word, I will chop you into minced meat first!"

The maid Ying'er was only a teenage girl, and she was scared out of her wits by the two men with fierce eyes.Seeing Yang Xiong asking, she cried and cried: "Officer! Don't do my business, don't kill me. I'm telling you..."

Under the pressure of Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, the maid Ying'er told how Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai had committed adultery.These words were like pouring a spoonful of oil on Yang Xiong's anger, making him even more anxious.

After Ying'er finished speaking, she kept begging for mercy.

Shi Xiu saw that although Yang Xiong had changed his face, he was still not ready, so he said on the sidelines: "Brother, do you know now? My brother must not have taught her to say such words! Brother, please ask sister-in-law for details!"

In fact, this matter is already clear, so there is no need to ask again.Shi Xiu forced the maids Yinger and Pan Qiaoyun to tell her repeatedly, but it was nothing more than stabbing Yang Xiong's heart again and again.Having been humiliated in public so many times, are you afraid that Yang Xiong will not be willing to kill his wife?

At this time, Yang Xiong had already been led away by Shi Xiu, he grabbed Pan Qiaoyun by the chest, and shouted: "You bitch! The girl has been recruited, so you can rest easy and tell me the truth, forgive me. Take your life, bastard!"

Knowing that she couldn't deny it, Pan Qiaoyun had no choice but to beg Yang Xiong for mercy, and said to him: "Officer, it is indeed my fault! Just look at my old husband and wife, forgive me this time!"

Seeing Pan Qiaoyun submissively pleading for forgiveness, Yang Xiong was a little shaken, Shi Xiu shouted from the side: "Brother, don't be vague! I need to ask my sister-in-law for a detailed explanation!"

Yang Xiong shouted angrily when he heard the words: "Bitch! Say it quickly!"

Pan Qiaoyun was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, so she could only tell the ins and outs of her affair with monk Pei Ruhai.These words are like adding a lot of oil to the raging fire, there is not a single pore on Yang Xiong's body that does not emit heat, and his eyes turn red!

Shi Xiu still insisted and asked: "Why did you tell my brother that I came to tease you?"

Pan Qiaoyun said: "The day before yesterday he was drunk and scolded me, I saw him scolding strangely, I just guessed that uncle saw the flaw and told him; I was also afraid, so I faltered the words this morning; in fact, uncle did not behave like that. "
