Chapter 763 The dead cannot be resurrected

Chen Xi waited overnight, and just dawn the next day, he rushed to the agreed teahouse private room. Who knew that Peng Yu hurried over until dawn.?<?〔<]

"Mr. Shen... There was a little bad situation."

Peng Yu said anxiously, "Later night yesterday, the Ministry of Justice prison caught fire, and the people were replaced. However, in the early morning, the Ministry of Justice had a dedicated person to investigate the scene. The Three Laws Office will also send people to conduct the second and third rounds of re-examinations. Before the final determination that the 6 Sun family was the one who died, the people could not be sent out."

Chen Xi thought the plan had failed, but now he heard that he was just conducting verification. He felt a little relieved and asked, "When will it be completed?"

"It can be as short as one or two days, and it can be as long as three or five days... The situation is hard to say. After all, the Ministry of Justice is not a solid piece of law, let alone the three Dharma yamen. Let's see what the inspection results are now." Peng Yu said nervously, "I heard that the factory guards will come, and by then, I'm afraid they can't hide it..."

Chen Xi nodded, but he had done everything he could, and the rest depended on God's will.

If Hui Niang had this disaster in her fate, then he really had no other way. The best result was that Hui Niang died in prison, and she might have suffered less.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly felt that he was very selfish. Isn’t it extremely cruel for Hui Niang to decide life and death by her will?

"Brother Peng, it's all up to you."

Chen Xi patted Peng Yu on the shoulder and said encouragemently.

"Mr. Shen is so ruthless. He uses money to eliminate disasters for others. The villain is also selfish. I hope Mr. Shen will not forget his promise to the villain. If the villain has any shortcomings, please be sure to take care of the villain's family. He will not forget the kindness of Lord Shen in his next life."

After saying that, Peng Yu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Chen Xi three times, and then hurriedly left.

Chen Xi was a little lost for a moment. After paying the bill under Dr. Tea's curious eyes, he went home alone. As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw Zhu Shan sitting on the steps in front of the door, sleeping soundly against the door frame... He was clearly waiting for him here for one night.

Chen Xi stepped forward and touched him. Zhu Shan stretched out his hand and wanted to hit someone. When she saw clearly that it was Chen Xi, she rubbed her dry eyes, pouted and said aggrievedly: "Master, why are you back? Woo... It's so sleepy, uh, it's dawn?"

Zhu Shan is always a confused optimist.

"Didn't I ask your father to come back and report that I didn't come back last night?" Chen Xi asked in surprise.

"My dad? My dad didn't come last night. The lady was worried about you and asked me to come out and wait. She fell asleep unknowingly."

Zhu Shan stood up while yawning, subconsciously trying to lift the lantern up and illuminate it, but felt that the candle inside had been burned clean. She shook her head and turned around to help Chen Xi push open the big iron door.

Chen Xi complained: "I haven't come back, and I don't even plug in the door at home. If there is any bad guy... forget it, you go back to your room to rest first."

Chen Xi felt that saying this to Zhu Shan was nonsense. Zhu Shan was born fearless. Thinking of the fact that a group of yamen servants could not get close to her, he could not regard this woman as an ordinary woman and a "monster". Chen Xi sometimes thought, who would win if Wang Lingzhi fought with Zhu Shan? Even if Wang Lingzhi was a martial artist and even had the potential to be the top martial artist, he could only be half a pound with Zhu Shan.

When he arrived in the yard, Chen Xi fetched water by himself and was about to wash his face, Xie Yun'er came out in a hurry. It was obvious that Xie Yun'er was worried that she had not slept all night.

"Honey?"

When Xie Yuner saw Chen Xi, her face was somewhat relieved, but she felt a little aggrieved.

This was the first time Chen Xi had not left a message to his family and did not return home all night.

Because Zhu Qi did not go home for some reason, Chen Xi changed the excuse temporarily: "I drank some wine outside with my friend yesterday and fell asleep. The shopkeeper of the restaurant did not wake me up. Now, it was not until dawn that I was lying on the table to deal with it all night, and my whole body was sore, so I rushed back to make up for my rehabilitation... But I will declare first that I asked Zhu Dangjia to come back last night and told me, but who knew that he had not listened to the negligence..."

Xie Yuner believed Chen Xi's words without doubt, tidied up Chen Xi's clothes and said, "Mr., I know you are bored. Now I'll prepare a drink and tea. Please sleep early."

"Um."

Chen Xi nodded. He was already very sleepy, but when he got to bed, he still couldn't sleep. What he couldn't get away with was Hui Niang's figure, including every bit of what he had been with before.

After drinking tea to relieve alcohol, Xie Yuner personally dressed Chen Xi and covered him with a quilt, so she went to take care of Chen Ping.

Chen Xi looked at Xie Yuner's busy figure and suddenly felt a little sorry for his wife.

He hadn't had a good rest for several days, and Chen Xi finally fell asleep easily, but in the haze, he could clearly feel his special feelings for Hui Niang. Even if he was ignorant, he felt a palpitations and heartache.

When Chen Xi woke up halfway through, tears were already filled with tears in the corners of his eyes. It was not because of the dream, but because of the shattered ideals and hopes in his heart.

...

...

When Chen Xi slept in the afternoon, he realized that Yu Niang had been waiting in the living room for a long time.

Because Yu Niang has been here several times before, there will be something to have sex every time. Therefore, Xie Yuner determined that this person is definitely not Chen Xi's "ordinary friend". Then through the other party's every move, Xie Yuner guessed that Yu Niang was a woman, but she did not ask Chen Xi what her identity was.

"What's wrong with Yu Niang coming?"

Chen Xi sat down hurriedly and asked, "But there is news from the 6th clan?"

Yu Niang had a look of worry on her face: "I am here for this matter. A fire broke out in the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice last night... Several people were burned to death, including the 6 Sun family. Now the people from the Three Laws Office are verifying their true self, and I have also gone to see it... It can be basically confirmed that it is the 6 Sun family. Lord Shen asks me for regret."

Although Chen Xi had already known it in advance and he knew very well that the person was probably Hui Niang, he still looked in disbelief, staring at the scene with a look of horror.

Chen Xi was nervous and seemed to not want to accept reality. She sat there for a long time before her mouth twitched and endured her grief, looking up and asked, "When will it take? How could the prison of the Ministry of Justice have caught fire? How could it be so coincidental that it was the 6 Sun family who died?"

Yu Niang really couldn't answer Chen Xi's question. Although she was not from the Ministry of Justice, she had many responsibilities with the Three Laws Offices. In her opinion, the Ministry of Justice could not escape the responsibility for the fire.

"Mr. Shen, the specific reason is still under investigation. However, I expected that someone kicked the oil lamp over. The prison cell was very chaotic yesterday, and some people even trampled to death. As for the 6 Sun family... the prison number is in the middle, it is reasonable that she can escape from the fire before she can escape..."

Yu Niang answered with a little bit of self-blame on her face.

Chen Xidao: "Then can I go to the site to check it out now?"

"This...is probably not possible."

Yu Niang explained: "The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang have taken over the case and are investigating the cause of the fire, but they are expected to have a result within two or three days. At that time... 6 Sun's body will be sent out and handed over to the family for burial. Lord Shen, let me talk about this matter below, so please calm down and not do anything extreme. Liu Shangshu specifically explained to him to advise Lord Shen..."

Chen Xi smiled bitterly on his face.

This bitter smile is not a disguise.

When people were fine, Liu Daxia refused to see him. Now that he was "no one was there", he immediately asked Yu Niang to come to "comfort", which was equivalent to telling him clearly that Liu Daxia had actually known the cause and effect of the case, but it was difficult to help him in advance. As for what Yu Niang said before, not seeing Liu Daxia, it was just an excuse for Yu Niang to make excuses.

"When a person dies, can't even meet the family for the last time?" Chen Xi looked sad.

Yu Niang pursed her upper and lower lips slightly, feeling a little sad, and shook her head and said, "But Lord Shen is not the family of the deceased. Lord Shen... No matter what, people cannot be resurrected when they die. Besides, I'm not the best result for people to die?"

In a word, when it comes to Chen Xi's heart, Chen Xi also feels that if he can choose, Hui Niang will be more exhausted than if she is alive.

But he was not Hui Niang, and he didn't know Hui Niang's true thoughts. There was a voice in his heart telling him that even if Hui Niang endured humiliation and lived a life of silence, it would be better than death.

Yu Niang was only responsible for notifying the person, and now the person who completed the task left. Chen Xi did not see off the guests and stayed on the chair for a long time without standing up.

Xie Yuner didn't know the situation, so she came in and asked, "My husband, but the shopkeeper has something to do? The Ministry of Justice... has the case been judged?"

"No."

Chen Xi seemed to be lost, "I just told me that a fire broke out in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last night... Aunt Sun might have...ah!"

When Xie Yun'er heard this, tears instantly slid down. She covered her face and cried: "The shopkeeper is the merciful person who is lucky, how could he... Woo, my husband..."

Xie Yun'er threw herself into Chen Xi's arms and cried heartbrokenly. Feeling the grief in her wife's heart, Chen Xi wanted to speak but stopped.

As the person next to him, some words should have been made clear to Xie Yuner, but he has selfish intentions... his intuition told him that he could not let Xie Yuner know the truth.

Xie Yun'er cried and raised her head like a rain, looked at Chenxi, and asked, "My husband, when will we visit the Ministry of Justice..."

"The yamen said it is not possible at the moment. We have to wait until the whole story of the case is clear before we can repay the person...it is probably just in these few days."

Chen Xi was very tired and stood up and said, "Yun'er, please find someone to prepare for the funeral. Aunt Sun watched me grow up. I can't let her be uneasy after her death..."

Xie Yuner cried and said, "The shopkeeper was fine when he left last time, why did he become a worldly separation? Woo woo..."

Chen Xi didn't know how to comfort Xie Yun'er, but in fact he was also confused because he didn't know how to place Hui Niang and where should he put himself.

And so far, it is not certain whether Hui Niang and Chen Xi died. If there is a mistake among the people in charge of the Ministry of Justice, it is not impossible to burn Hui Niang to death.

Before the matter was finished, the big stone in Chen Xi's heart could not fall, and Xie Yun'er had to stay strong in front of the female family at home. The news of Hui Niang's "dead" could not be told to 6 Xier.

For Xie Yuner, she worked very hard after learning the news. She was bearing the self-blame and sadness that should belong to her husband for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi arrived at the study room, picked up a pen, wanted to write something, but didn't know how to write.

After a long time, he suddenly understood what he was going to write... Yes, he had to write a tribute dedicated to Hui Niang.

Regardless of whether Hui Niang is safe or not now, at least in his heart, the nearly perfect Hui Niang who was in the past is dead.

Hui Niang used to be a child's yearning for beautiful things, representing an unattainable dream. But from this moment on, as the dream is shattered, it means that the child has finally experienced the baptism of strong winds and waves, and has officially changed from a pure young man who has just passed the top scorer to a great husband who has been responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
