Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1173 The Death of Zhou Ke

Zhou Tang's eyes opened as soon as the chicken crowed like every morning. The sun had not yet risen that day, and it was just dawn, and Zhou Tang groped for clothes. Around her, Zhou Xiaomei and Chu Chu slept soundly.

Zhou Tang couldn't help sighing and thinking of Song Keren. In the past, when Song Keren slept beside him, didn't he look like this cute?

She reached the shoes with her feet and went down to the ground. Gently pushed the door open, and a cold air rushed in. Zhou Tang couldn't help having a cold war. It seemed that she also foresaw that something bad was waiting for her.

Usually, Zhou Zhang takes his daughter-in-law to cook. However, Zhou Tang seemed to be a little hungry today. She couldn't wait for Zhou Zhang to cook, so she came to the kitchen alone.

Zhou Tang was about to burn the fire, but he found that the firewood had long been gone. She couldn't help but be a little angry. Zhou Zhangshi didn't know how to get it when the wood was gone.

Zhou Tang nagging his daughter-in-law and took the initiative to walk to the woodshed.

That day, the sky was covered with a haze, and the gray rat was thrown into the water like thick ink, with no diluted temper at all.

It is said that too many people died in Jingzhao in the past. Above the sky are the lonely souls and yin qi of the dead. They are looking at everything in the world.

The air is cold, is it late autumn? The leaves are about to fall out, and we should prepare a cotton-padded jacket for winter. A crow flew back from the gray-blue sky and shouted at the low Zhou Tang.

Zhou Tang almost picked up a stone to smash the crow. In the morning, the crow called was not a good sign. The crow, probably afraid of Zhou Tang's hot temper, did not stop, shouted twice and flew away.

"It's really unlucky in the morning." Zhou Tang said.

She nagging and pushing open the door of the woodshed.

"Squeak..."

The not heavy door of the firewood house was pushed open.

"Ah..." Zhou Tang screamed out.

The people who woke up had no time to put on their clothes and rushed out one after another. Covering the sound, everyone found the door of the firewood room. Zhou Tang squatted in the woodshed and cried bitterly.

Zhou Mao immediately got in and saw Zhou Ke lying at Zhou Tang's feet. Zhou Mao immediately came forward and put his finger under Zhou Ke's nose.

Zhou Mao almost didn't cry at all.

Zhou Ke has been out of breath for a long time.

Touching the body, it's cold.

Zhou Mao immediately panicked and shouted, "Come on, go and call the doctor!"

Zhou Yong also rushed over at this moment, and Zhou Mao shouted and rushed out. Zhou Yong immediately wanted to carry Zhou Ke into the house, but at this time, everyone found that Zhou Ke's body was already stiff.

Miao Laner rushed to Zhou Ke's body and cried, and Zhou Zhangshi fainted. Zhou Guangyi took Zhou Zhang back to the room. Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Ke's body in a blankly and was speechless for a moment.

Why did a good person go like this? Zhou Xiaomei cried while checking the things in the firewood house. There is no trace of hanging, and there is no poison on Zhou Ke's hand.

At this time, Zhou Duoduo and Chu Chu also rushed over. Zhou Duoduo looked at his father's body and immediately rushed up.

"Dad..." Zhou Duoduo shouted.

Miao Laner hugged Zhou Duoduo and cried, "Duoduo, why did your father... why did he go like this?"

After saying that, she jumped on Zhou Ke again and cried and shouted, "Father, what should I do with Duoduo if you go like this? Xiaoxiao hasn't come back yet! Didn't you say that we would live in Xishan after the two children got married? His father, open your eyes and have a look. Your daughter hasn't come back yet. Why did you leave? How can you tell us to live if you leave our mother and daughter behind? His father, you are so cruel. I know I'm wrong. Wake up and I apologize to you! His father..."

"Dad, wake up, Dad. Dad, didn't you say last night that you would kill rabbits for me during the Spring Festival? Dad, didn't you say that rabbit meat is the best? Dad, wake up. Wake up, where's my rabbit? Dad!" Zhou Duoduo cried and shook Zhou Ke's body and shouted.

When Chu Chu saw Zhou Ke's death, he not only cried sadly. She subconsciously wanted to lean on Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng subconsciously hid and almost made Chu Chu fall and gnawed shit.

Fang Fang wiped her tears and walked to Miao Lan'er's side. She hugged Miao Lan'er and whispered, "Big search, you..." The last sentence "calm down" could not be said because of choking. She knew that it was really unrealistic to persuade Miao Lan'er to calm down now.

If, if she were herself, the one lying on the ground was her husband, could she calm down?

She can't, she can't calm down. Her husband left her, and her last backer was gone. May I ask, who can calm down?

Fang Fang's tears rolled down again, and Fang Fang, Miao Laner, Zhou Duoduo and Zhou Tang cried at each other. The people who were still at home yesterday suddenly left, which was really unbearable.

Suddenly, Miao Laner suddenly stood up, pointed to Chu Chu and shouted, "It's all you, you, the unlucky man, came to our house. Where has anything happened since you came to our house? First, I was forced away by you, and then my man was killed by you. You broom star, you are a broom star! Milk, if you don't send her away, our family will die at her hands!"

"Old Chuchu!" Zhou Tang shouted.

"Milk! Do you think anything good happened to our house after she came to our house? It's all because of her hard life, punishing our family!" Fang Fang scolded.

"All the way! Don't say anything, Lao San, go and find him!" Zhou Tang shouted.

"Milk, I'll go now." Zhou Heng said.

Chu Chu looked at Zhou Heng helplessly, but Zhou Heng didn't seem to see her. Zhou Heng silently left the backyard, and Fang Fang stood up with Miao Lan'er in her arms.

"Duoduo, hurry up and help your old lady up!" Fang Fang ordered to arrive.

Zhou Duoduo hurried over to help Zhou Tang up. At this time, she felt that a tremor passed from Zhou Tang's body.

Isn't this the most tragic scene for white-haired people sending black-haired people?

Zhou Tang never thought that her grandson would die in front of her. And what surprised her most was that Zhou Ke came to the woodshed for nothing to do? Is it also because of hunger?

Zhou Ke has lived with the third and fourth since he came back. The two hairy kids slept well, and it was normal for Zhou Ke to go out without knowing it.

But what does Zhou Ke do when he comes to the woodshed? There is obviously dry food in the kitchen bowl shelf. He is an old man who can't cook. Even if he is hungry, he can only find some dry food. In the middle of the night, when will the fire be fired?

The more Zhou Tang thought about it, the more strange it felt.

After about half an hour, Zhou Heng finally invited him. After looking at it carefully, he found a large needle eye on Zhou Ke's head, which made things more complicated.

Zhou Ke, was it deliberately murdered?

The people in the government office investigated, but turned their eyes on Miao Lan'er.

"You must have killed your husband in order to commit adultery, right?" The government official asked angrily.

"How can you spit blood? Which eye of you watched me kill my father-in-law? You just want to cross the job and pull any one as a cushion, that's why you came to frame me!" Miao Lan'er shouted.

"I can prove that my sister-in-law slept beside me last night." At this moment, Zhou Xiaomei stood up awe-inspiringly.

Miao Laner looked at Zhou Xiaomei gratefully. Without Zhou Xiaomei's words, she might have been taken away by the official immediately.

The official asked Zhou Xiaomei a few words, and Zhou Tang also came out to testify that his daughter-in-law had been sitting beside him. Chu Chu hesitated for a moment, but said, "Last night, I also slept in their room."

The official immediately became interested in this beautiful girl and quickly came forward to cross-examine. Chu Chu bit his lip, glanced at Miao Laner and said, "I had a little insomnia last night and couldn't sleep over and over again. In the middle of the night, I saw my sister-in-law get up and leave the room. It took half a column of incense to come back!"

"You fart!" Miao Lan'er immediately scolded.

Chu Chu quickly hid behind the official in fear. Zhou Tang was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Chu Chu stabbed him in the back. The official seemed to have caught the handle and immediately took Miao Lan'er away.

Thanks to Fang Fang's cleverness, Fang Fang immediately said calmly, "I know where my sister-in-law has gone!"

"Oh? So, did you see the crime scene? The official immediately asked.

At this moment, everyone is sweating in their hands. Fang Fang's words, as long as it is a little biased, then Miao Lan'er will go to prison for the second time. Everyone can see that these officials just want to catch a person back as a cushion. So that they don't work harder to find the real murderer. Zhou Ke is an old man. How much strength does it take to stab a needle in the old man's head?

"Last night, I got up from the hut in the middle of the night, and there happened to be someone in the hut. That person is not someone else, but my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has always had constipation, so it's been a long time. I stood outside and talked to her about Xiaoxiao. It took a long time for my sister-in-law to come out. By the way, talk about Xiaoxiao. I don't know if the child was abducted by his son. He also asked several officials to help him find the child, and he can also let the child go home as soon as possible!" Fang Fang said.

As soon as the official heard this, the matter was not set out again. He quickly asked a few more questions, and then quickly finished the inquiry under his feet and left the Zhou family.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhou Tang and Miao Laner sent the official away, as soon as they came back, Miao Lan'er shouted, "Chu Chu, stop for me."

Chu Chu was stunned and knew that he was going to have bad luck.

Sure enough, Miao Lan'er walked to her.

With a slap, he slapped her in the face.
