Chapter 211 Repeated Harm to Merchants

Under Kyoto, when he saw a dead corpse, it was also because Xiao Chu was relieved, so he didn't let the bloody corpse that suddenly appeared in front of him be frightened and scattered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this alley where the night was falling, a corpse was found that had lost blood and killed someone to seal his throat with a sword, Xiao Chu was stunned and ordered Xiang Zhu to report the case. Waiting for the poor master to come here, after smelling the relevant information, the poor master asked Xiao Chu to send him back to the Xiao Mansion.

The corpse was shocked, and this matter was not trivial, so Xiao Chuxuan answered the master's inquiries truthfully. It's just that how to be truthful, Xiao Chuxuan also has his own scale in his heart.

Why did you see the corpse, when you see the corpse, can you pay attention to where it is inappropriate, what the master asked, Xiao Chu replied truthfully. However, before discovering the corpse, he saw Liu Ruyan in a hurry, but this incident made Xiao Chuxuan hide it.

She just happened to see someone killed, and the cha ye couldn't find too many clues from Xiao Chuxuan, so she sent the head of the Xiao family back to the Xiao Mansion.

After entering the Xiao Mansion, although Xiao Chusu did not tell the truth about Liu Ruyan, she asked people to check it privately, and even the identity of the deceased was also checked.

The corpse that was found in the alley was a merchant in Kyoto, and his business was doing quite well, and his family was quite prosperous. died tragically in the alleyway for no reason, and the family suddenly lost its pillars, and the business collapsed in an instant.

This merchant's ordinary business is quite stable, so if this person's identity wants to be checked, it is also very convenient.

Because the identity of the deceased was already probable, even if Xiang Zhu entered the study to give the eldest lady, after knowing the identity of this person from Xiang Zhu, Xiao Chuxuan sat there and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "You said that this deceased is a businessman at home?" ”

"Miss Hui, exactly, and this person's business is doing quite well, and his family is also solid."

"In this way, he can be regarded as a person who has some silver taels on hand. So how is this man a normal person? But who has said that he is not good, or that he is not clean, who is guilty of falling into such a field? ”

"I haven't heard of it, but the merchant is also a conscientious lord, and he has always had a good temperament, and the guys in the family respect him. The trade is fair, and I haven't heard that the lack of catties and short taels has defrauded other people's silver taels, if you just talk about this reputation, this person is good. The neighbors on the left and right have a good evaluation of him, and he usually hasn't seen anyone with whom he has been red-eyed, and he is polite to everyone. This is true for the neighbors on the left and right, and if you want to come here to open the crime to someone buy murder, I am afraid that there is no possibility of this. ”

The deceased Xiang Zhu had already instructed someone to inquire, he was a fairly honest businessman, and he hadn't even been popular with people a few times, and as for the crime to the point where he needed to be killed, it was impossible to think about it.

How a person is, although the rhetoric given by the neighbors cannot understand the true nature of a person, it is still eight or nine and ten. Therefore, Xiang Zhu was backward in this words, Xiao Chuxuan had already nodded, and muttered: "In this way, he can be regarded as a virtuous person." ”

"If you want to talk about morality, you can't talk about it, but this merchant doesn't have much preference, only ......"

"Only what?"

"Good for a few sips of flower wine!"

Men are like this, who doesn't want to get drunk and die in the gentle country, this is also the nature of men. This person who doesn't have some silver taels on hand, and he is looking forward to the beautiful girl in the flower room in his heart, not to mention the deceased's kind of idle silver in hand, and his worth is quite solid, even in today's world, it is also common.

The deceased didn't have a preference for the side, just a few sips of flower wine, and it was also because there was a bastard brother at home who was drunk with flower wine and sheng songs, so Xiao Chuxuan only had a cold face, but he didn't comment much on such preferences, but just said: "That's how men are, it's nothing to drink flower wine." ”

This is just Xiao Chushu's sigh alone, and this disgusting sigh is backward, but he happened to see Xiang Zhu's eyebrows, as if he was carrying something. Whenever Xiang Zhu is like this, he must have something to say, so Xiao Chusu didn't wait long, but asked.

"Xiang Zhu, is there anything else in this flower and wine matter?"

As soon as these words fell, Xiang Zhu nodded and said: "Miss, there is indeed a way to this flower and wine, and the eldest lady still remembers that when we found the corpse of this merchant that day, we saw the girl sneaking away from that place." ”

"I remember."

I didn't pay attention to it, this Liu Ruyan is such a big living person, how could Xiao Chuxuan forget. At the moment, his eyebrows were slightly hooked, and Xiao Chu said: "Don't tell me, this dead merchant was once a guest of Ruyan Girl." ”

"Although he is not a guest of the scene, this merchant did often spend money in the boudoir of the girl like smoke during his lifetime and listen to her play music."

When the person died, Liu Ruyan was on the side, and his expression was sneaky. Now that I heard that the deceased was still a guest under Liu Ruyan's smoke screen before his death, these two things were intertwined, and Liu Ruyan became more and more suspicious.

In the Qing Dynasty, the dead merchant was once a guest under Liu Ruyan's curtain, and Xiang Zhu was already a little suspicious of this red-sleeved Oiran lady. Now that he told the eldest lady, his words were full of suspicion of Liu Ruyan.

Ordinary people, after seeing Liu Ruyan sneakily appear in the murderer's place, and later knowing that there was a connection between the two, subconsciously concluded that the deceased was done by Liu Ruyan. It's just that Xiao Chushu here, after hearing what Xiang Zhu said, he didn't give an answer clearly, but sat there, and he didn't know what the lock was frowning and thinking.

The eldest lady didn't want to make a sound when she was contemplating, Xiang Zhu was naturally not good at talking here, but she waited there for a long time and didn't see the eldest lady responding, Xiang Zhu also stayed quiet for a long time, and then sighed and said.

"No wonder every time the eldest lady reprimands the third young master, she always repeats the word coloring on the head of a knife, and now it seems that this color is really a sharp blade that harms people and destroys the family. Obviously, the family has a wife and children, and has their own business and family background, so they can't just take care of it, and they have a good life. Now he has lost his own life, this merchant, his life is gone, but he pities his wife, children and young sons, the family has lost its pillars, how will this family live in the future? I'm afraid that the jade business in the family won't be able to hold on. ”

After speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, although the eldest lady had said it many times, she didn't like to hear the lie that her daughter was inferior to a man. However, this world is cruel and real, and most women are indeed not as good as men, and even more rare women in her family are far more powerful than men.

Outside the male protagonist, the female protagonist is inside, this is the same truth since ancient times, and the merchant's business is also supported by the merchant alone. Now that people are dying tragically in the alleys, how can the wife who only guards the young son at home support the family's business and wait until the young son is completed.

I'm afraid it's not a bad business, but it's also the end of the day.

Thinking that the merchant's wife and children would be in a tight situation in the future, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but sigh, but the words of this sigh had just fallen, and Xiao Chu, who was still thinking about it for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses. Se Yin flashed from his eyes, and in the eyes that flashed, it was obvious that something had swam, that is, after this flash, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"What did you just say this deceased's family was doing?"

The sudden inquiry, Sheng Sheng made Xiang Zhu startled, although he didn't know why the eldest lady suddenly became interested in the deceased's business, but the eldest lady asked, of course Xiang Zhu agreed truthfully. Therefore, it was also a short moment, and Xiang Zhu replied.

"That man's family makes a living in jade."

"Jade?" The murmur continued, obviously the word jade made Xiao Chu pay attention to something.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhu was naturally hanging, so after hearing Xiao Chu's muttering, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Miss, isn't this jade, what's wrong?" ”

"Not really!"

Xiang Zhu's inquiry was just exchanged for Xiao Chushu's muttering response, and he just answered softly like this, Xiao Chushu had already turned his heart to think about it.

The matter of the merchant naturally made a lot of uproar, but the merchant died at whose hand, but the official failed to catch the murderer. The only thing that can be concluded from the merchant's corpse is that this man died at the hands of the Jianghu people, and he took his life with a sword, cleanly.

If it is a person from the rivers and lakes, it must be related to vendetta, although the neighbors all feel that according to the behavior of this merchant, they will not offend anyone who has come to such a field, and they must hire a killer to take their lives before they can relieve the resentment in their hearts. But as the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, this person's heart is separated by a layer of belly, who knows if there is any unsightly deed behind this person who looks pretty good.

Therefore, the death of this merchant has been rumored in many ways, and the individual has his own thoughts.

The poor master couldn't catch the murderer, of course, the top pressed down, but the murderer of the merchant had not been found, and there were several more fatalities in Kyoto. And these people who lost their lives were extremely ingenious, and they were all people from the trading houses in Kyoto.

The murder suddenly appeared, and the method of death was not followed, and someone was the same as the merchant, who took his life for an inexplicable person, and the scene looked like a vendetta, no doubt. And some people are killed by accidents, all kinds of unexpected accidents, but they also take the lives of those people.

Accidental deaths are common, but they are as frequent as they have been recently, but they are also rare. Therefore, because of these things, people are panicking among merchants during this time. The Lord, who was afraid that the world was not chaotic enough, even sprinkled strange fallacies, saying that the death of these merchants was God's retribution, and that these merchants who were unkind to their merchants were punished.

Merchant, try to ask who has clean hands and no ink staining. This wealthy person is very easy to attract the envy of the poor, and now that such things have happened in Kyoto one after another, the so-called retribution of business black has spread in Kyoto.

The merchant died for no reason, and everyone was uneasy, that is, after this month, several merchants lost their lives for no reason. or vendetta, or accident, but they all died in Huangquan. And most of these merchants have solid family backgrounds and stable businesses, but they all died for no reason, and finally ended up ruining their families, ruining their businesses, and the whole family collapsed directly.

Although the merchants who died in Kyoto are not called everyone, they are more or less regular in business, and now they have suffered one disaster after another, so how can they not make people feel uneasy.

For this reason, the Xiao family is also in a tight situation, all the wealthy families in Kyoto have been cautious and cautious in the past month, and would rather have more silver and invite some capable escorts than save a penny or two taels of silver in such a gambling matter.

Rich families naturally ask someone to protect their lives with silver, but although the money is out, people are also invited, but this life is not something that you can save if you are willing to spend silver. The four families in Kyoto, King Li of Xiaojiang, these four families are not as good as any of them, and their family backgrounds are among the best in Kyoto, which is the silver that saves lives, and they can get as much as they can.

It's just that even if the price of this silver is high, the people who invited are really capable chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, but in the end, they still failed to save the life of the Wang family.

On that day, when the evening fell, the head of the Wang family got a letter and left the Wang family late at night, and the body of the old man Wang was found at the mouth of the river embankment the next day. Suddenly it seems that when passing through the embankment late at night, he did not pay attention to his feet, and the mouth of the embankment slipped tightly, so he fell into the water and drowned.

On weekdays, it is very ordinary, at most, people talk about drowning for many days, but because of the identity of the drowning victim and the recent death of this business, it has attracted a lot of nonsense and speculation.

This old man of the Wang family is so lively, how did he suddenly receive a letter late at night, and this letter left home late at night, and he never came back alive. Who is this late-night letter invited? What did he do, this old man really lost his life because of an accident?

All kinds of speculations, because of the recent unrest in Kyoto, have made people spread the gods. There are even some people who are afraid that the world is not chaotic enough, and they are secretly chewing on the root of their tongues, saying that this lord of the Wang family is afraid that he will get into some kind of affair and debt, and harm the life of someone's family, and now the soul of the tragic death is not gone, and he is led to the river embankment to take the opportunity to take his life.

These things that are silent and plotting, because some people have spoken, they are actually spread nonsense, and the more they say, the more evil they become, but they don't know that the dead are the greatest, and they should save some face for this person who died in vain.

The sudden death of the lord of the Wang family, and the sudden rise of a thousand waves in Kyoto, it is the king of the king of Xiaojiang Li Wang, and it is completely chaotic because of the sudden death of the lord Wang.

The business of the Wang family has always been in charge of Master Wang, and Mrs. Wang has never cared about business matters. And this old man Wang, although he also has a son under his knees, but the young master of this Wang family is not a master with real power. is not very old, has never touched the family business, and his father is young, and he doesn't need to worry about many things with the incompetent young master.

Therefore, this old man Wang left suddenly, and the Wang family instantly called people to remove the pillars of the top beam.

Collapsed.

The matter of the master of the Wang family, Kyoto was already boiling on the second day, who did not talk about this matter, and the ears of the Xiao family were not idle.

When he learned that this old man Wang had lost his life, Xiao Chusu was already uneasy. Frowning, what didn't come physically and mentally was not stable, and after hearing about the death of Master Wang, Xiao Chuxuan had been sitting in the study. Silent and speechless, no one knew what the eldest lady was thinking.
