The moonlight was thin and I could barely discern the road. Jiang Yun stumbled with her skirt in hand and came to Jiyu River in fear.
Looking at the empty arch bridge not far away, Jiang Yun swallowed her saliva and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the person who asked to meet her.
But the night was so gloomy and gloomy that it was impossible to see clearly. The strange chirping of insects sounded by the river bank, which sounded a bit weird and made Jiang Yun tremble in fear.
She has not forgotten that tonight is the first day of the spring moon.
She would never go out tonight unless she had to.
After observing cautiously for a while, and seeing no unusual movement, Jiang Yun walked towards the arch bridge.
Before getting on the bridge, Jiang Yun made sure that there was no one on the bridge. But when she got on the bridge, she saw a person standing on the bridge, silently like a ghost.
Jiang Yun was startled, and bravely asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
The figure at the other end of the arch bridge said: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that I know that you paid to kill someone and killed Chun Yue to cover up the crime."
The two were several feet away from each other, and the night was dark. The man was still wearing a bamboo hat. Jiang Yun could not see his appearance, but she only knew that he was a tall man.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Chunyue slipped and fell into the water and drowned." Jiang Yun was afraid of being deceived, so she decided to pretend to be stupid first and find out the other party's reality.
The man sneered: "You are jealous of your cousin. If you fail to harm her, you will suffer the consequences, so you hold a grudge. Pay money to bribe the villains in the city and let them harm your cousin."
"Unexpectedly, they are all dead. The government also found you. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you killed Chun Yue, who helped you pay for the murder. Am I wrong?"
"You, you, you..." Jiang Yun stared at the man in front of her and asked in panic: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
This person knew so clearly but did not report it to the government, so he must have something up his sleeve.
"Today is the first day of the Spring Moon, do you remember?" The man suddenly laughed slyly.
Jiang Yun swallowed hard, stared at the man with numb scalp, and said, "So what?"
The man said sadly: "Chun Yue has come to seek your life."
After finishing speaking, the man pointed to the side.
Jiang Yun turned around and saw a ghostly figure floating on the river with disheveled hair and wet body, floating toward her with outstretched hands.
"I died so miserably, why did you want to harm me..."
A gust of cold wind blew, Jiang Yunhai's face turned as white as paper and his hair stood on end. His legs were weak and he took a few steps back. He could barely steady himself by leaning on the fence of the arched bridge.
As she got closer, Jiang Yun could clearly see that the ghost figure was wearing Chun Yue's clothes, and her figure and voice also resembled Chun Yue's.
Jiang Yun was so frightened that she immediately thought that Chun Yue was really coming to seek her life, and she trembled and begged for mercy.
"Chunyue, don't look for me, I can't help it. If you don't die, we will all die."
"I'll burn some more paper money for you and go to the temple to set up a memorial tablet for you. Can you please let me go?"
The spring moon floated onto the bridge, standing on the bridge railing and dripping water: "You can't let go, Li Jinhu and the others are waiting for you below."
Li Jinhu was the leader of those villains, and all of them were killed by Jiang Yun.
But Jiang Yun refused to admit it and argued: "Their death had nothing to do with me, it was because of their own stupidity. I asked them to harm Jiang Shu, but they took the money and failed to do it. They also made me feel embarrassed." "
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun got angry and wanted to dig up the graves of Li Jinhu and others.
"What about me, I am loyal to you, why do you want to harm me!" Chunyue suddenly raised her voice, sharp and cold as a ghost's roar.
Seeing that Chunyue refused to let her go, Jiang Yun tremblingly took out a charm from her arms, put it in front of her and said with all her might, "Loyalty? You hooked up with Lin Rui and had an affair with him behind my back, yet you still have the nerve to claim your loyalty to me."
"I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. If you want to know what's going on, go back to the underworld, or I'll scare you to pieces!"
Jiang Yun clenched the yellow talisman tightly with a sinister look on her face.
"Okay, you really did kill my daughter!" A group of people suddenly jumped up on the arch bridge, led by Chunyue's parents.
Jiang Yun was stunned and didn't understand what was going on until she saw Jiang Shu, Jiang Ning, and the officials behind them.
"You...you guys." Jiang Yun suddenly realized it and said angrily: "You guys ganged up to trap me!"
"Jiang Yun, you still don't know your fault until now." Jiang Shu spoke in a clear voice, hating and disappointed with Jiang Yun.
After all, they were also cousins, but she actually tried to harm her over and over again without even caring about any blood or family ties.
When her deeds were revealed, Jiang Yun knew she couldn't escape, so she simply broke the jar and threw it, and cursed Jiang Shu viciously to release the bad breath in her chest.
Yu Zheng frowned and ordered in a cold voice: "Take her down."
"Yes." The officer took the order and stepped forward to capture Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun knew that being caught would lead to death and she would suffer humiliation and torture, so she might as well just do it.
She threw away the charm in her hand, quickly turned around and climbed over the bridge railing, screaming and jumping off.
"Plop!" Hearing the huge sound of falling water, Jiang Shu and others quickly ran to the bridge railing and looked down.
It had rained for a few days and the river swelled. Jiang Yun fell into the river and sank. After a while, she surfaced and instinctively flopped down the river.
"Chase! If you want to see the person alive, if you die, you want to see the corpse." Yu Zheng ordered in a deep voice.
A group of government officials quickly walked off the bridge and chased along the river bank.
Leng Xing pushed aside his long hair that covered his face and went to pick up someone from the steps of the bridge at the other end.
It was Lin Rui. He heard what Jiang Yun said and was considered a witness.
After handing him over to Zhufeng, Leng Xing squeezed the water from his clothes.
It's really uncomfortable to pretend to be a drowned ghost. Fortunately, it's summer. It would be even worse in winter.
"The case can still be solved like this." Jiang Ning sighed.
Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as it works."
When Jiang Ning heard this, she was convinced.
"It's very late. I'll take you back." Yu Zheng said to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu nodded and followed Yu Zheng off the bridge. Jiang Ning hurriedly followed.
Zhufeng took off his bamboo hat, threw Lin Rui to Master He, and said, "Master He, I'll leave the rest to you. If you can't handle it again, you can pack your things and go home to retire."
Mr. He quickly agreed and said that it would be done.
He is only in his early forties, who can retire so early?
The carriage stopped a little far away. They got off the bridge, walked along the river bank, and passed through a forest.
It was dark in the forest, and it was difficult to see the road. Jiang Shu almost tripped over a stone.
"Be careful." Yu Zheng held her steady, naturally took her hand and pulled her away.
After walking out of the woods, the light became brighter. Jiang Ning, who was following behind, saw the two people holding hands and felt a little complicated.
He was happy that his sister had found someone who cared for her, but he also felt that his sister had been snatched away.
On the way back, Jiang Ning said nothing.
Sensing his abnormality, Jiang Shu asked puzzledly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Sleepy." Jiang Ning yawned and dozed off against the car wall.
Jiang Shu did not doubt that he was there and said to Yu Zheng, "Can you let Leng Xing follow me like an ordinary guard? That way I don't have to bring other guards with me when I go out."
Yu Zheng was slightly surprised: "You want Leng Xing to follow you closely?"
"Well, the guards of the Jiang family are all men. It's always inconvenient to follow them every day."
Yu Zheng thought it right and agreed.
As a secret guard, Leng Xing never thought that she would see another day.
