Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Chen Family's Mystery Case (2)
Lin Junxiong stayed at Chen's house under the arrangement of the housekeeper, and listened to a few maids chatting about the eldest young master Chen Yifei that day, so he listened to it on the sidelines.
"Why did you say that the eldest young master suddenly went insane?"
"Yes, the eldest young master is usually calm and steady in dealing with things, why is it suddenly gone, hey!"
"In my opinion, what the fortune teller said is right, it was all from this young grandmother, and the eldest young master was killed as soon as he entered the door, what a disaster."
"You be quiet, hey, I still don't believe that the eldest young master committed suicide by jumping into the river insanely, I remember that once the eldest young master passed by the kitchen and saw that a new kitchen helper didn't dare to kill the chicken, so he went up and killed the chicken with a knife, that guts is there, how can it be closed for three days and go insane?"
"That's right, we send food every day, the eldest young master and the young grandmother eat cleanly, and the lady also explained to them, how could it be so sudden"
Lin Junxiong walked over, and several maids hurriedly stopped their voices and lowered their heads in horror. Lin Junxiong said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't tell anyone else about your chat, I have a few questions I want to ask you, is there anything abnormal in the few days that your eldest young master was imprisoned?" ”
A maid thought for a while and said, "No, it's just that there were some voices in the first two days, and we also asked, and the young grandmother said it was okay." ”
"If you say that you are insane, then your eldest young master must be a little abnormal in the front, such as yelling at me to go out or something, none of these."
"No, everything is normal."
"Then does your eldest young master have any serious diseases?"
"No, the eldest young master has always been in good health."
Lin Junxiong was a little puzzled in his heart, how could a good normal person suddenly go insane, if that was the case, he would have a mental breakdown first, but he didn't hear the maids say, what the hell is going on? He decided to ask the young grandmother Qin Suyu, only she knew Chen Yifei's condition during that time.
When Lin Junxiong found Qin Suyu and asked, she just cried, and only said intermittently for a long time: "There is nothing abnormal, and I don't know why he suddenly went crazy."
Lin Junxiong wondered, could it really be an evil spirit, nine of the ten fortune tellers relied on deception, and there was no basis for the evil spirit, Lin Junxiong saw Qin Suyu squinting and secretly glanced at him when he was about to leave, and he was shocked in his heart, could it be related to this woman? Lin Junxiong got the information of the fortune teller Yuan Shaogang from Zhao Yuyan again, and immediately arranged for someone to look for it, but he couldn't find it after looking for a whole day, thinking that he probably cheated the money and ran away.
The day before Chen Yifei's funeral, Lin Junxiong went to the place where Chen Yifei lived, and saw a subordinate crying and sorting out his belongings, and stopped when he saw Lin Junxiong walking forward.
"Are you the person next to your eldest young master?"
"I'm a scholar next to the eldest young master, and I've been following the eldest young master, why is such a good person as the eldest young master suddenly gone?"
Lin Junxiong comforted a few words, and then said, "Tell me something about your eldest young master, especially about your eldest young master and your eldest young grandmother knowing and getting married." ”
The scholar began to talk about the eldest young master, this Chen Yifei is very sensible and capable, he has already helped Zhao Yuyan share some affairs when he was eighteen years old, and Zhao Yuyan was originally going to wait a year or two to hand over the Chen family firm to him. As for Chen Yifei and Qin Suyu, they also have stories.
Since the beginning of spring this year, when Chen Yifei often goes to Shunchang Teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, he can always see a beautiful and peugeot woman on the second floor, looking at the ferry with a smile and affection, and infinite love is revealed between her eyebrows. At first, Chen Yifei didn't care, but as the days passed, he was gradually attracted by the woman's clear and bright eyes. He thought that this woman came to the second floor every day when he came to the teahouse and stared at him affectionately, it must be because she had fallen deeply in love with her.
Two months have passed, Chen Yifei finally couldn't suppress the emotion and love in his heart, so he told his mother what happened, and asked his mother to send someone to tell the woman's parents, Zhao Yuyan was very happy after hearing it, and immediately agreed.
After inquiry, it turned out that this woman was Qin Suyu, the daughter of Qin Dezhong, the owner of Shunchang Teahouse, and Zhao Yuyan also felt that she was quite right, and when she heard that this girl was both talented and beautiful, she happily asked a matchmaker to be a matchmaker. Qin Dezhong was overjoyed and immediately agreed to this family affair. The two agreed to get married on June 28 this year.
Unexpectedly, on June 6, a fortune teller set up a stall near Chen's house, and the signboard next to it read, "Descendants of Yuan Tiangang, iron-mouthed proverbs, Tiangang God calculates, and it is not allowed not to collect money." ”
Zhao Yuyan is very superstitious, and on the eve of her son's marriage, she wants to hear the fortune teller say some auspicious words. So she asked the housekeeper to invite the fortune teller Yuan Shaogang to her home to tell the fortunes of her son and future daughter-in-law.
After Yuan Shaogang finished counting the eight-character hexagram of the two, he suddenly said in shock: "It's terrible, it's terrible, your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door is a disaster star!" In the future, after entering the door, there will definitely be a bloody disaster! ”
Hearing Yuan Shaogang say this, Zhao Yuyan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Then may I ask the master, what should our Chen family do?" The dowry has been given, and the auspicious day agreed upon by the two families is approaching! ”
Yuan Shaogang thought for a while and replied: "In my opinion, your Chen family should quit this family business as soon as possible, why bother to cause a rich and powerful family like you to suffer disasters for a daughter-in-law?" ”
Zhao Yuyan listened to Yuan Shaogang's words and immediately asked the matchmaker to propose to Qin Dezhong to withdraw from the marriage. Unexpectedly, Qin Dezhong finally climbed the big tree of the Chen family, how could he let go easily, so he insisted that the woman had already received the dowry, and everything was the initiative of the man's family, and he would not agree to the request to withdraw from the marriage no matter what.
In desperation, Zhao Yuyan had no choice but to find Yuan Shaogang to discuss countermeasures, Yuan Shaogang went home and thought about it for a few days, and came up with an idea for Zhao Yuyan: "According to my calculations, there is only one way now, it is possible to resolve this disaster Your family is still married on the auspicious day of June 28 as agreed. Since the calamity belongs to the west, after the guests disperse, the bride and groom must be locked in the hut on the west side of the house for three consecutive days, waiting for the calamity to return. If the two of them are still safe on the fourth day, then the disaster should be resolved."
Zhao Yuyan then acted in accordance with the law, and on the appointed auspicious day of June 28, the Chen family feasted guests, and almost all the people nearby came to congratulate them, and the wedding banquet was very lively, and it was not until midnight that all the guests dispersed.
After all the guests said goodbye, Zhao Yuyan arranged for Chen Yifei and Qin Suyu to enter the hut on the west side of Chen's house together. After seeing them enter, Zhao Yuyan arranged for people to nail all the doors and windows of the new house together, leaving only a small hole in the corner of the wall for the purpose of delivering food and vegetables for the past three days.
On the first day, the house seemed to be safe and sound, and after the three meals were delivered, it didn't take long for the empty dishes to be handed out; The same was true on the second day; On the third day, I didn't hear any movement inside, and after the three meals were handed in, they were all eaten. Zhao Yuyan thought that the disaster had been resolved, and she was so unhappy.
On the fourth day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Yuyan ordered someone to remove the iron nails nailed to the door of the new house, and wanted to quickly let her son and daughter-in-law, who had been wronged for three days, come out. As soon as the door was opened, under the faint candlelight in the hut, everyone saw Chen Yifei, who was already neatly dressed, rushing out of the door like crazy and running towards the Nanming River!
The Chen family was frightened, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Chen Yifei ran, shouting while chasing, but Chen Yifei ran in the direction of the Nanming River like crazy, completely ignoring the shouts behind him, and jumped into the river in one fell swoop! Half a day later, the people who went into the water to salvage went ashore to tell that Chen Yifei could not be salvaged anywhere, and Zhao Yuyan fainted after hearing this. The housekeeper asked his subordinates to continue the salvage, and after three days of salvage, Chen Yifei's body was not found.
Three days later, a body was found on the river beach downstream! Perhaps because of the long immersion in the water, the corpse was already unrecognizable, and the Chen family saw that the corpse was dressed and was sure to be Chen Yifei.
Lin Junxiong arranged for someone to go to the vicinity of the Shunchang teahouse to inquire about some messages from the Qin Dezhong family, and he took Chen Yifei's scholar to the teahouse to do the position where Chen Yifei had been sitting before. He observed the situation in the neighborhood, and when the guy came to serve tea, Chen Yifei's scholar said in surprise: "Hey, this piece has always been taken care of by the guy Ah San before, how can it be changed to an adult today?" ”
The guy politely accompanied the salute and said, "Ah San quit his job a few days ago and went back to his hometown. ”
"He's been working in your teahouse for almost ten years, why did he quit suddenly?"
"I don't know, guest officer, if you have any orders to call me directly, I'll add tea first."
On the stage of the teahouse, the storyteller was telling the story of Ximen Qing molesting Pan Jinlian, and the people sent out by Lin Junxiong came back and said that they had found some information. It turned out that it was rumored that Qin Suyu had an affair with his buddy Ah San, Qin Suyu liked Ah San very much, but Qin Dezhong disagreed, and originally wanted to drive away Ah San, this Qin Suyu wanted to die, so Qin Dezhong had no choice but to leave Ah San.
Lin Junxiong arranged for someone to bring Ah San back, if the expectation was good, there must be something wrong with Ah San. Lin Junxiong returned to Chen's house and discussed with Zhao Yuyan, Zhao Yuyan always thought that her son was mentally insane and jumped into the river to die, and when she heard Lin Junxiong say that it was very likely that her son was killed, she asked Lin Junxiong to let go and investigate, if there is any need, just go to her.
Lin Junxiong deliberately arranged for two maids to go not far from Qin Suyu, hiding and talking that the people from the Guiyang Garrison Headquarters found out that Chen Yifei was killed and was investigating. Lin Junxiong hid in the corner and saw Qin Suyu squeezing his hands nervously, looking around in a panic, making sure that Chen Yifei's matter must be related to this Qin Suyu.
At night, Qin Suyu was asleep, and suddenly the wind gusted, she was frightened and hid in the corner of the bed, only to see "Chen Yifei" with his hair scattered, crawling towards her covered in blood, and kept shouting: "Why are you so ruthless, why do you want to kill me, I am unwilling."
"I'm going to take you to the funeral"
Qin Suyu was so frightened that she cried, and when "Chen Yifei" was about to climb to less than five meters away from her, she collapsed and shouted: "It's not that I woo it's Ah San's idea, you go to find Ah San and he killed you."
In an instant, the room was brightly lit, and Chen Yifei got up from the ground and pulled off his loose hair, but it was a subordinate of the Chen family who was wearing Chen Yifei's clothes and was coated with pig's blood. Zhao Yuyan rushed in with a group of people, she pulled Qin Suyu in pain, and roared sadly: "It turned out that you poisonous woman and your adulterer killed my son, and you returned my son"
The truth of Chen Yifei's death is about to come out, it is not the so-called mental disorder that jumped into the river and died, but was killed by Qin Suyu and Ah San.
