"These, these are the props for my singing."
Although Ma Xiaowei was trembling, he still denied it in every possible way.
"Oh? I remember you said a long time ago that you would never sing again. Why are you going back on your word now?"
The old village chief said sternly: "Besides, you just sing opera, why do you use these pretentious things? Do you really think we are all fools!"
Under the scorching gazes of all the villagers, Ma Xiaowei was speechless. Suddenly, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the door!
Bai Ze had quick eyes and quick hands and kicked Ma Xiaowei directly in the back.
"ah!"
Ma Xiaowei immediately planted a dog in the mud and let out a wail of pain.
He struggled to get up and wanted to continue to escape, but at this time, a group of villagers had already swarmed him, directly pressed him to the ground, and tied him up!
"Ma Xiaowei, are you responsible for the recent events in the village?"
"explain!"
Bai Ze stared at him and shouted sharply.
Ma Xiaowei raised his head and saw the old village chief and all the villagers staring at him with extremely angry eyes. How could they dare to hide anything?
"I said, I said everything!"
Ma Xiaowei trembled and told the truth that he was pretending to be a female ghost to harm others.
It turns out that after Ma Xiaowei got into the funeral business, it was really prosperous for a while, but it soon fell out of favor and has not been open for nearly half a year now.
Just when he was thinking hard about how to improve his business, the story of Akang digging out the dragon's veins spread in the village.
Ma Xiaowei suddenly thought of an evil plan.
Among the people who helped A'kang with the construction, there was a villager named Niu Er who had a good relationship with Ma Xiaowei. He had a simple personality and no big ideas. After thinking about it for a day, Ma Xiaowei decided to start with Niu Er to test everyone's reaction.
One night, while Niu Er was returning home, Ma Xiaowei deliberately appeared "accidentally" and introduced Niu Er into his home on the pretext of treating him to a drink.
Then, he served Niu Er with wine that had been poisoned in advance. Sure enough, Niu Er foamed at the mouth and died from the poison not long after he returned home.
Niu Er's family did not know that he had been to Ma Xiaowei's house on his way home, and immediately concluded that Niu Er's death was caused by his help in destroying the dragon's veins with Akang.
This incident spread quickly, and Niu Er helped Akang dig out the dragon's veins, which caused Master Long to become "furious" and kill him. The matter became more and more serious. People criticized Akang verbally and writtenly, but no one would doubt it. His eyes were on Ma Xiaowei.
As the only practitioner in the funeral industry in the village, everything that needed to be purchased after Niu Er's death was naturally purchased from his store, which made Ma Xiaowei a huge fortune.
After the success of this business, Ma Xiaowei became more and more courageous, so he began to put on costumes and pretended to be a female ghost in red to sing outside the village, attracting many villagers who did not know the truth to come and watch.
After scaring away the villagers, Ma Xiaowei changed into ordinary clothes, went to the homes of the villagers who had been frightened by him, and secretly put poison in their water in the name of giving away things, causing the innocent deaths of those villagers.
In this way, Ma Xiaowei's business is getting better and better, and the villagers have also targeted A Kang. In order to appease the anger of "Lord Long", they arrested A Kang and prepared to sacrifice him alive. The anger of "Lord Dragon".
"brute!"
After listening to Ma Xiaowei's story, the old village chief couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him hard in the face.
"These are the folks who live with you day and night, how could you do this!"
Ma Xiaowei naturally knew that what he had done was a treasonous act. Even though he was slapped, he just covered his cheek, lowered his head and said nothing.
However, his silence made the villagers even more angry. They wiped their sleeves one by one, scolded and called him over, until Ma Xiaowei cried for his father and mother, and complained endlessly!
"Okay, everyone, stop fighting!"
I was afraid that if the fighting continued, someone would be killed, so I quickly stepped forward and stopped the villagers.
"Ma Xiaowei committed a murder, and the officials will handle it. If you beat him to death now, you will also have to bear the consequences of killing him!"
"What everyone has to do now is to capture him quickly and send him to the official house!"
When the villagers heard this, they stopped what they were doing and did not dare to continue beating Ma Xiaowei.
Although this guy is a murderer who deserves death, ordinary people still have to bear responsibility for killing murderers. Although the cultural level of the villagers is not high, this is still very clear.
Soon, the old village chief sent two strong young men to escort Ma Xiaowei to the official's house to report the crime.
The two young men came over and were about to escort Ma Xiaowei out. Suddenly, Ma Xiaowei convulsed, staggered and fell directly to the ground!
After twitching a few times, Ma Xiaowei rolled his eyes and became motionless!
How is this going!
The two young men were panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.
I quickly stepped forward and pinched Ma Xiaowei, who couldn't help but shake his head.
Ma Xiaowei is dead!
"Master Cheng, what's going on?"
The old village chief didn't know what was going on, so he came over quickly and asked me with a shocked look on his face.
I didn't say anything, I just stared at Ma Xiaowei's body, trying to find some flaws.
This Ma Xiaowei was rough-skinned and thick-bodied. Although he had just endured a severe beating from the villagers, he did not die suddenly like that. So I concluded that there must be something fishy about the cause of his death!
As I looked at it, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a mark under Ma Xiaowei's neck.
My heart moved, and I immediately reached out my hand and took off the collar of the corpse. Suddenly, a black plum blossom mark appeared in everyone's sight.
This plum blossom mark is the size of a coin, extremely black, and it is not an ordinary tattoo, it looks like it is growing out of a blood vessel!
Just as I was thinking about the origin of the plum blossom mark, a pungent odor suddenly penetrated my nostrils, making me almost vomit out my overnight meal!
Even the villagers nearby covered their noses and stepped back a few meters, not daring to come any closer.
And this stench was emanating from Ma Xiaowei's body!
It's strange, this Ma Xiaowei has just died, how could he emit such a stench that only appears after a rotting corpse?
It seems that these are all related to the strange plum blossom mark on his neck!
I called Lonnie, Xiaona and Bai Ze and asked them if they knew the origin of the plum blossom mark.
However, not only Xiaona, but also Lonnie and Bai Ze, two well-informed immortals, shook their heads, saying that they had never seen such evil magic before.
