Chapter 23 - Dropped Amulet

Jiang Yuqi didn't stop when he saw it.

The next moment, the female ghost like the wind from the body of Ye Qingze "blew" past, leaving nothing behind.

The female ghost froze for a moment, turned around and pounced again, but the result was still did not hurt Ye Qingze in the slightest.

Jiang Yuqi saw that she didn't die, tried again and again, and was a bit speechless for a moment.

It seemed that this girl was also a deadbeat in life, not giving up until she achieved her goal.

"Green day, even if you carry something on your body, temporarily fearless of sunlight, can appear in front of people, but it does not mean that you can hurt people, don't waste your efforts, always hanging around in front of me, you don't faint I faint, then come ... to me to beat people up." Jiang Yuqi stood up and said.

Their Taiji Sect people never see ghosts and pounce on them to catch them or beat their souls.

People would enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, and the souls that stayed on earth and wandered around were a minority, and by no means accidental, most of them had grievances or unfulfilled wishes, and their obsessions were too deep.

Not everyone wants to be a ghost, always have to ask.

For example, now this female ghost, grievances, visible she was killed by someone.

The female ghost froze after hearing Jiang Yuqi's words.

She had realized before that Jiang Yuqi was different from the others.

There was a faint golden light on Jiang Yuqi's body, giving her a very scary feeling, so she didn't dare to get close to Jiang Yuqi either.

Hearing her say that she wanted to beat herself up, the female ghost didn't dare to move either.

Jiang Yuqi smiled at her words, and was quite obedient.

"Yuchi ... what are you talking about?" Zhou raised her head and asked.

"Nothing, great aunt, do you recognize this girl?" Jiang Yuqi asked.

"Head and face are smashed, and soaked in water, can't recognize, but ..." Zhou said with a slight lurch, "The dress on her, I'm a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. "

"Is a little familiar, I seem ... to have seen the town Xu tailor's daughter through." Second aunt Tian said with a white face.

She squarely looked at this female corpse and was frightened, retreated to the side, not daring to look at the female corpse's smashed face again, but she could still see the clothes and skirts on the female corpse.

"Yes, yes, yes, Tailor Xu's daughter, seems to be called Xi Niang." Zhou hastily nodded her head.

The men present did not have much of an impression, as they neither bought cloth nor made clothes, these were all handled by the female members of each family.

Of course, Ye Qingze's behavior seemed abnormal to Jiang Yuqi.

Especially when Zhou said Xi Niang s name, Ye Qingze s hands were shaking.

Could ... this woman be the first cousin Ye Qingze killed?

Otherwise, why did he look like a thief and was so scared?

After about two quarters of an hour, the magistrates arrived, and so did Mr. and Mrs. Tailor Xu.

Looking at the female corpse on the ground, the couple pounced on it, bawling their eyes out.

"Xi Niang, Xi Niang ... My poor Xi Niang ...."

When the female ghost hiding not far away saw it, she wanted to come over, but she was afraid of Jiang Yuqi, so she could only hide behind the tree and dry up.

People and ghosts are different, she is already dead, what she says and does, her parents can not see and hear.

She was clearly heartbroken, but not half a tear fell.

Having already transformed into a ghost, she had long been different from when she was alive.

"Tailor Xu, Dame Li, don't rush to cry first, you can't conclude that the female corpse is your daughter Xi Niang just based on this dress, what if you're mistaken?" Seeing the couple crying, Sheriff He hurriedly reminded them.

Upon hearing this, Danniang Li immediately pulled open the left arm sleeve of the female corpse and saw a birthmark on the inside of her lower arm.

"This is my daughter Xi Niang, it is her ..." Li Daniang howled loudly and nearly fainted.

He constable waited for this couple to cry for a while, to vent out some of the sadness in their hearts over, before the routine, began to ask.

"When did Xu Xi Niang go missing?"

"My daughter was yesterday afternoon out of the door, but also carried a basket, with a sickle, said to go to the river in the vegetable field to get some fresh vegetables back to our couple to do the evening meal, the result is not back, my wife and I see her a long time did not come back, had come to the vegetable field to look for, the results of the discovery of her back out of the basket and the sickle is still in the, but not see the shadow of a person, we have been to find the day, but also to go to the county magistrate reported We have been to find the dark, but also went to the county government to report the case, the magistrates said that this morning to help us post notices to find people, I did not expect ..."

I didn't expect the person is gone.

He sheriff heard slightly frowned, this matter is not he handled.

"Head Constable He, I have some impression of this matter, when Tailor Xu and his wife went to the Yamen to report the case, it was Head Constable Zhang who was there." Another yamen hurriedly said.

"Carry the body back to the yamen first and let the coroner examine the body." After Sheriff He finished speaking, he ordered the few yamen who followed him to put the person on a board and carry her away.

Just as they were lifting the female corpse, her hand drooped down and the thing she was holding fell to the ground.

It was a copper coin that had been braided up with red thread.

When Sheriff He saw it, he immediately picked it up and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Although this thing looks like a copper coin, it is not a real copper coin, the front side is carved with a more complicated pattern, and there is also a "leaf" character at the top.

At the back, there was a statue of a human being, not the common gods and buddhas, and I don't know who it was.

At the bottom of the back was a small "Ze" character.

"Master Ye, look at this, is this something from your Ye family?" Sheriff He took this coin-like object and walked over to Jiang Yuqi's great-uncle, Ye Yanfeng, and asked aloud.

Ye Yanfeng's face was a little pale.

This was of course something from the Ye family.

As long as one was a member of the Ye family, each person had one of these amulets on them, it was something that had been passed down from their ancestors.

Their Ye family had a mahogany chest that contained many of these amulets made of bronze, which looked like copper coins, but were actually not.

Whenever a child was born, male or female, the elders of the Ye family would take out an amulet from the mahogany chest and ask a blacksmith to help carve the child's name on the back of this bronze amulet.

This is not a secret in the whole Kan Shi Town.

This amulet engraved with the word "Ze" belonged to Jiang Yuqi's first cousin, Ye Qingze.

This amulet was still the one that Ye Yanfeng had personally taken to the town's blacksmith store and asked the old blacksmith to carve it for his son.

"This is the amulet of one of their Ye family members, my daughter is tugging on this thing in her hand, she must have been killed by the owner of this amulet, Sheriff He, you let me see whose name is on this amulet." Tailor Xu said loudly.

Everyone had lived in this town for many years, passed from generation to generation, and were still very clear about that little bit of details between each other.

When Tailor Xu took a good look at the word "Ze" on the back of the amulet, his anger and hatred went straight to his head, and as soon as he pulled out Sheriff He's sword, he shouted loudly while hacking towards Ye Qingze.

"You bastard, you actually killed my daughter, I'm going to chop you to death so that you can pay for her life."
