Riding the Pheonix Chapter 71: Rumors

Early in the morning, before going to work, at breakfast stalls everywhere, people were eating breakfast and chatting about the latest news.

"Have you all heard about the haunting of the Ming family?" A coolie man was eating noodles while chatting with his tablemates.

The person sitting next to him was a hawker selling groceries. Before the stall opened, he came over to have a bowl of porridge.

"Of course!" He sneered, "Who doesn't know about this? I heard that the sixth master of his family forced his widowed sister-in-law to death. He set a date for the funeral, but in the end he couldn't carry the coffin at all!"

"Yes! The Ming family is so haunted. Mr. Yao is the most famous Mr. Yin and Yang in Dongning. I heard that he was possessed that day! Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's scary."

Someone else added: "It's not like Mr. Yao is incompetent, right? Maybe his reputation is fake!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The man was very unhappy when his information was questioned. "Not only Mr. Yao, the Ming family also invited all the Yin Yang Mr. and the Goddess Goddess nearby. They made a fuss for several days. The coffin I just can’t get up."

"Is that so?" Unexpectedly, the vendor quickly asked, "What's going on now?"

"What else can we do? The body is still on display in the mourning hall!"

"Oh, so fierce!"

"Look, this is death with eyes open! Being forced to death and leaving an unmarried daughter behind, the Ming family is still as fine as anyone."

“Didn’t I hear that the Sixth Master was beaten half to death?”

"Beat him half to death and you're done?" The man sneered, "What do you mean to beat him half to death? It means he's been raised and still alive and kicking. If it were me, I would die with my eyes closed."

Thinking that these words were unlucky, I said "poof" again, clasped my hands together and chanted: "Good luck and good luck, good luck and good luck."

The hawker asked: "Do you want Mr. Mingliu to pay with his life?" After thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible.

"Haha!" The person at the table was also talking about this, and someone described it vividly, "Have you all heard of Sister-in-law Zhen from Guanmiao? She always says that she is better than Mrs. Liu on weekdays, and others don't know her stuff. That day at Ming's house Inviting her, she was so happy that she spread it everywhere. As a result, she entered the Ming family...hahahaha!"

"Don't just laugh! What's going on?" The listener was anxious.

The man said: "She was sent back less than half an hour after entering Ming's house! I heard that after returning home, she kept shouting, there is a ghost, there is a ghost! Hahaha, she also said how powerful she is ! I think Mrs. Liu is the most moral person. When the Ming family went to invite her, she said she couldn't accept it and didn't even go."

Everyone was talking about it, and eight out of ten tables were talking about it.

……

On a table in the corner of the breakfast stall, two people who were incompatible with these common people were sitting.

A man with a jade crown and fine clothes, dressed as a prince of a noble family, was sitting facing inwards, making it difficult for people to see his appearance.

The other man was dressed in black and had a stern face. He seemed to be a guard, but he was sitting at the same table as the young master.

"Young Master." The black-clothed guard lowered his voice, "This matter has caused such a big fuss, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes of the Ming family are staring at it. I guess they don't dare to attack Miss Ming."

Yang Shu slowly adjusted the ratio of hot sauce and vinegar and said, "Are you missing Ah Wan?"

The black-clothed guard's expression remained unchanged: "Ah Wan is not here, and there is no one around you to take care of you."

"Tsk, you said Xiaotong is not a human being, I will tell her later."

"..." the black-clothed guard said, "You know this is not what I mean."

Yang Shu laughed twice, picked up the fried dumplings with sauce and ate them.

"It tastes very good." He said, "Axuan, do you want to try it?"

The black-clothed guard Ah Xuan has already tasted it. How can he dare to let the young master enter his mouth if he has never tasted it while eating outside? It just tastes ordinary, I don’t know what’s better about it.

He attributed it to the young master's strange temper.

"Okay, I know what you mean." Yang Shu said, "You are just too suspicious. You can't trust anyone except the few around you."

Axuan said: "The background of this Miss Ming is really weird. How can the young master dare to trust her if she can't even be investigated like this?"

"That's because you haven't seen her before." Saying it was delicious, Yang Shu ate two and put it down.

A Xuan was doubtful: "Is she so capable?"

"She has the ability." Yang Shu smiled, "But the most important thing is that she is so beautiful. Facing such a beautiful person, one can't help but feel soft-hearted."

"..." Ah Xuan thought to himself, he is so soft-hearted. Last time, the girl from Chu Kingdom, Xizuo, was also as beautiful as a fairy. What was the result? He didn't hesitate when he broke her neck.

"Go back." Yang Shu stood up and motioned for him to check out.

A Xuan paid for the meal and followed him: "Young Master..."

Yang Shu waved his hand: "No need to say anything, I have made up my mind."

Axuan had no choice but to shut up.

The sun rises, shops open one after another, and the streets become lively.

The two wandered around for a while, and Yang Shu said: "We are wandering around like this, but we don't have many eyeliners. Has my cousin changed his mind?"

Axuan said: "When the Ming family's affairs are revealed, he is afraid that he will be implicated, right?"

"Haha, how can you achieve such great things if you are so timid?" Yang Shu casually picked up a monkey mask from the stall and put it on his face.

A Xuan paid the money and chased after him: "What you said, do you think it would be bold to bring the handle to you?"

While talking, the two of them arrived at a secluded place.

Yang Shu said: "Go and call Ah Wan and arrange for me to meet that girl Ming."

A Xuan was startled: "Young Master?"

Yang Shu took off his mask and smiled: "Since she has proven with her strength that she is very useful, it's time for me to show my sincerity."

……

Mrs. Ming’s house was filled with a strong smell of medicine. ~IndoMTL.com~ Mrs. Ming fell ill after knowing that something like that happened at the funeral.

The second lady came in to say hello: "Mom, how are you feeling today?"

Mrs. Ming opened her eyes and said in a weak voice: "It's okay. I'm busy at home, so you don't have to come here every day."

Ask again: "What are you going to do about the third daughter-in-law?"

The second lady hurriedly said: "I just wanted to ask you for an idea. There is no way to bury the body now, and it is difficult to keep the tomb set up..."

It is unlucky to have an elderly person at home.

But Mrs. Ming’s coffin is still there and cannot be buried. It doesn’t seem appropriate to dismantle it now!

Mrs. Ming sighed: "Still can't lift the coffin?"

"...Yes."

I have invited Mr. Yin and Yang and the Goddess and Goddess all over, but to no avail.

The second lady has already believed it. This shows that the third lady has not redressed her grievances and refuses to be buried.

"Tear it down."

The second lady was stunned.

Mrs. Ming said: "Since she refuses to leave, we have to keep her. Be careful, the weather is getting hotter, don't let the body rot. Then ask the second child to write a letter to the capital and invite a Xuanshi. Come here. Xuan Du Guan is hard to find, so just find someone a little more ordinary, as long as he has real ability."

The second lady was surprised. The old lady spoke so eloquently, she seemed to know Xuanshi very well?

"Isn't it terrible to hear the news outside?" Mrs. Ming asked again.

The second lady was silent: "Yes."

"Don't worry about that. No matter how ugly the words are, it's not like we haven't heard them before. Back in the capital, your grandfather..." The old lady stopped here and laughed at herself, "It's not a good thing. What's there to mention? ? Okay, you go."

The second lady stood up: "You have a good rest."

Back then, what the old lady wanted to say was about her grandfather being rejected by the late emperor, right? Speaking of which, the Ming family once had such a glorious time...
