Vol 3 Chapter 51: Headless

Yu Hezhang sighed: "Hey... Once in our college's monthly exam, a student from the town got the first place and surpassed him, so he thought that I accepted bribes to let the kid from the town get the first place! Hey!" said Speaking of Bai Zhankui, Yu Hezhang sighed again and again, "I opened the academy to cultivate talents, but in the end, he corrupted me and took bribes. In his eyes, there are no good people, only evil people. Besides, among the rich, there are good and evil The kid in the town is talented, and his family attaches great importance to his studies. He also hired a private teacher from the capital with a lot of money. It is only natural that the kid can get the first place in the exam. This year is more likely to be the number one! This person, If you harbor evil in your heart and your vision is narrow, you won't be able to go far." Yu Hezhang shook his head repeatedly.

"So you think it's hard for your daughter to marry him happily?"

Yu Hezhang pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, with sadness on his face: "Yes... If this person looks at the world with malice, then no matter how good the world is, it is still evil. You need to get along with him. Be careful and take care of his sensitive and fragile heart, because he will use malice to speculate on your thoughts, and being with such a person is very tiring, so I think Pingting will suffer and tire in the future, as expected! "Yu Hezhang stretched out his right palm, sighed, and slapped his thigh hard, "I should have locked up Pingting and broken that Bai Zhankui's leg! It's better to collect her body now..." Yu Hezhang choked up again regretfully.

It is not easy for parents to have and raise children. What they want to protect is the happiness and happiness of their children. But in the end, there was still a link that went wrong, making repeated mistakes, leading to a big mistake, which was ultimately irreversible.

Sitting next to Yu Hezhang, Fu Mingrui also fell silent. It is difficult for an upright official to break up family affairs. If Yu Pingting was alive, he, as an official, would not be able to break up her family affairs.

He sighed, but when he looked up, he saw Duanmu Qingchen who was secretly listening outside the window. He rolled his eyes and let out a big sigh. How could there be such a sneaky prince in Qianchao, and the future of Qianchao is worrying.

Yu Hezhang calmed down for a while, wiped away his tears, and looked at Fu Mingrui: "By the way, my lord, who is responsible for my son, have you found out?"

"I've found out." Fu Mingrui paused, and said heavily under Yu Hezhang's eager gaze, "It's Chen Jinhua."

Immediately, Yu Hezhang was like five thunderbolts, unbelievable.

"She is superstitious about what witches say, and she gave her a needle to get a child." When Fu Mingrui heard it for the first time, he couldn't believe that such a stupid thing existed in the enlightened and advanced Qian Dynasty, and it was still at the foot of the capital. It's hard to believe. But as the investigation deepened, he was even more surprised that this phenomenon was especially common in rural areas.

There is no fixed number of children, so how can it be possible to give birth to a girl? If you have more children, there will be males and females. Coincidentally, Yu Pingting actually gave birth to a son, which made the villagers believe in witches.

"Too ignorant...too ignorant..." Yu Hezhang was so angry that his lips trembled slightly, "This is why I want to open an academy!" The strong anger made Yu Hezhang extremely emotional, "Master Fu, do you know? My ancestors also came from the countryside. Because of the ignorance there, my ancestors realized that we must study, and our family gradually became a scholarly family, and then taught and educated people. That Chen Jinhua! She is the grandmother of the girl! How can she do it? This kind of thing happened?! Could it be...that she also hid my daughter's head?!" Yu Hezhang's eyes were frightened instantly, and his face turned pale.

Hearing Yu Hezhang's last words, Fu Mingrui's eyes flickered sharply, and he asked deeply, "Dean Yu, what's going on with your daughter's head...?"

Yu Hezhang's tears fell instantly: "To tell you the truth, my lord, when Pingting's mother and I went to collect Pingting's body, we found that Pingting's head... was gone..."

"What?!" This sentence shocked Fu Mingrui a little. Because Yu Pingting committed suicide and drowned, how could she suddenly lose her head? Is there something hidden in it?

Yu Hezhang wept and shook his head: "That Bai family, what a crime! Back then we went to ask for Pingting's body, but they wouldn't give it..." Yu Hezhang couldn't help crying, and the mention of his daughter's incomplete body made him even more distressed, "Said Pingting Marrying the Bai family means death is their fault too! We also know this truth, when our daughter is married off, she belongs to the family, and this corpse is also their family's corpse, but Pingting's mother and I are really worried They didn't give Pingting a proper burial... Also, in Pingting's last letter, there was an explanation..."

Yu Hezhang turned out the last letter from the pile of letters with trembling hands, pulled out the letter paper and put it in front of Fu Mingrui.

Fu Mingrui looked down at the letter, and it was written in beautiful handwriting: If there is anything wrong with my daughter...please parents to take care of their children...

Judging from the signature of the letter, it was in January this year, two months before her suicide. It seems that at that time she had no plans to take her children to the underworld.

"So we went to ask for the girl, but the Bai family didn't give it to me. We begged hard. In the end, they said straight up, so it turned out! They wanted money!" Yu Hezhang slapped his thigh in grief, his pain and resentment unspeakable.

Fu Mingrui remembered that it was also mentioned in the oral records of the villagers of Baijia Village that the house in Baijia Town belonged to the Yu Hezhang family. At that time, Fu Mingrui also had doubts about this immediately. Why did the Bai family live in the old house of the Yu family when the maid was given to the Yu family? If the Bai family still took the maid with them, then they lived in the town to give A better environment is more reasonable.

Now, everything is clear.

"They said, it's the old house in my town, give it, we'll give it straight away, as long as we can get Pingting and Ya'er back, we'll give it all." Yu Hezhang sighed bitterly and wiped his tears, "The folks have been there since ancient times. Legend has it that you have to collect the whole body if you don’t have a head. If you don’t have a head, you won’t be able to find the way to Huangquan, and you won’t be able to reincarnate...” Yu Hezhang burst into tears again, “I didn’t expect their Bai family to be so vicious. My daughter is dead, and she won’t be allowed to reincarnate. Wandering around the world. That’s right! They must be doing evil!” Yu Hezhang wiped away his tears with a firm expression, “Because if there is no head, there will be no one who hurt her, and no revenge! Now I understand! Pingting…” Yu Hezhang wept in grief.

Fu Mingrui was surprised, but even more angry. How many more people will be harmed by these folk superstitions?

After Yu Hezhang calmed down, Fu Mingrui asked Wang Quan and the others to send Yu Hezhang away from the eight doors. He stood alone in the hall to calm down his emotions. Now, he needs to calm down even more, and can't let this anger affect his justice as a half door master!
