Chapter 30: This family loves acting
When Shui Qingxiang came out of the restaurant, she was already big enough to figure out the general idea of the Yuan family. It's just that I don't know why Liu Yingyi has something to do with Yuan Lao, if Yuan Lao is really friends with the emperor, why don't you mention your friend's beloved apprentice?
Shui Qingxiang was thinking nonsense, and not long after she walked out of the restaurant, she met Qin Yan, and Qin Yan also walked out of a tavern, I don't know whether to go to eat inside, or to inquire about the news like Shui Qingxiang.
As soon as Qin Zhutou saw Shui Qingxiang, he asked with a bad face, "Why are you following me?" ”
"Cut, is it necessary for me to follow you? Obviously, you followed me. Shui Qingxiang subconsciously glanced at the other party.
Qin Zhutou couldn't help but take a step back, protecting the lower plate with both hands, the lesson of being made "egg pain" by Shui Qingxiang last time, he still remembered it vividly, knowing that the girl in front of him was not easy to deal with, and it was a character that Lord Liu admired, so he had to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you woman!" Qin Zhutou said disdainfully.
"You're inexplicable!"
Shui Qingxiang can be regarded as having opened her eyes, and it is the first time she has seen such a cautious man.
Alas, I just hope that this case will be solved as soon as possible, and then I will discuss the problem with Liu Yingyi.
Both of them walked towards the inn, and they saw a group of people not far away, among which were two familiar figures.
The two in the front were wearing the clothes of the errand in the yamen, it was the two catchers, and the other catcher was standing with Ning Wuze, and the other was wearing a hat and a copper-green official uniform and walking with Liu Yingyi with a smile.
Shui Qingxiang and Qin Zhutou stepped forward and looked at Liu Yingyi, who had a gloomy face: "My lord, where are you going?" ”
"Yuan Mansion, let's go together."
Compared with Liu Yingyi's pale and unhappy face, the accompanying official was elated, glanced at Shui Qingxiang and Qin Zhutou, and asked Liu Yingyi, who was standing next to him: "Lord Liu, who are these two?" ”
"I'll bring a piece of errand."
"Oh, Lord Liu is really a strong soldier under his hands. I am Song Bin, the commander of Yancheng County, and I came out in a hurry today, and when a few of you come to my house in the evening, I will definitely set up a banquet to entertain you. "It seems that this Lord Song is very good at coming to things, and he is so polite to Shui Qingxiang and Qin Yan who met for the first time.
However, Shui Qingxiang understands that the reason why this Lord Song is so attentive is mostly for the sake of Liu Yingyi's face, but this is also what Shui Qingxiang can't understand.
It stands to reason that Liu Yingyi and this Yancheng County Commander both belong to the seven-rank officials, and they are at most at the same level according to their positions, but it can be seen that Lord Song's attitude towards Liu Yingyi is not as simple as a colleague at the same level.
Thinking about it again, back to Yulan County, Yu Lan County Ling also flattered Liu Yingyi in every way, and he didn't look like an official at the same level.
This can't help but make Shui Qingxiang curious, what is the origin of this Lord Liu?
The group quickly walked to Yuan's mansion, and the housekeeper opened the door and welcomed a few people in.
In the hall of the Yuan Mansion, there were three men with unkind faces standing, who must be the three brothers of the Yuan family.
Seeing that Liu Yingyi really attracted the people from the Yamen, the three brothers of the Yuan family did not look very good.
If Shui Qingxiang's analysis is correct, the oldest elder should be the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Yishan.
The person is kind and good-looking, but he didn't expect to be a gambler and a loser, but it's a pity that this is a good skin.
The fierce and vicious man standing next to Yuan Yishan must be Yuan Yihai, the second eldest of the Yuan family, this person is not a good stubble, and he is looking at Liu Yingyi with an angry face at this time, as if he wants to chop Liu Yingyi alive.
Among the three brothers, the most indifferent expression is the third son of the Yuan family, Yuan Yijiang.
He didn't stand with the eldest brother and the second brother, but sat on the chair like someone else, and it wasn't until Yoo Young-yi and Lord Song arrived that he lazily got up from the chaise longue, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
The handsome eyebrows and eyes, the lazy demeanor, compared with Liu Yingyi, is a little less heroic and a little more feminine, but it can really fascinate a lot of ignorant girls.
"I don't know why Lord Song came here today?" Yuan Yishan deliberately pretended to be confused.
Song Bin had a full official tone in front of Yuan Yishan: "When the official heard that Yuan Lao had passed away, he was extremely sad and came to mourn. I heard that the cause of Yuan Lao's death was somewhat unclear, and the official specially came to check. ”
"My father passed away three days ago, because my father specially told me 'not to report to the official', so I didn't tell the adults, thinking that I would repair the book after the funeral was completed, it was a hasty little people."
Although the Yuan family did not report to the official, the matter of the Yuan family's funeral is already well known. If it weren't for Liu Yingyi, I was afraid that Song County would not have come to this troubled water.
"Why did Yuan Lao pass away?" Lord Song asked.
Yuan Yishan replied seriously: "My father died of illness. ”
"What died of illness?"
"Emergency."
Song County's face darkened, "Why don't you seek medical treatment for emergencies?" I don't have much else in Yancheng, and there are still a lot of Langzhong doctors, big and small. ”
"This ...... My father told me before his death that he didn't want to see the doctor. Yuan Yishan replied with some embarrassment.
Song Xianling and Liu Yingyi glanced at each other and asked in a surprised tone: "There are such things, the terminally ill don't want to seek medical treatment?" It's unheard of. ”
"What the hell are you trying to do? My father died of illness, because he didn't want to see a doctor, do you think it was a few of us who killed my father? Yuan Yihai had an imposing and unconvincing tone.
"Hmph, the cause of death will not be known until after the examination." Song County Ling turned his head and ordered the arrest to be brought quickly, "Take the body to the Yamen for autopsy." ”
"Who would dare to touch my father's corpse?" Before Yuan Yihai's words fell, the person was already lying on the coffin like a crab, lying there deadly, motionless.
It seems that whoever dares to take a step forward will die with the other party.
"Xianggong, you died so miserably." A shrill female voice sounded, followed by a woman's cry of pain, "You have to be commended by the emperor before you are alive, but you are not allowed to be buried after death, and you will be disemboweled, it's really pitiful......"
With the woman's cry, a young woman dressed in linen and filial piety came out, with white flowers on her head, although she was plain, but she had a bit of a posture, but the thick smell of fat powder smelled choking, and she didn't look like a sad person.
"This is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family?" Lord Song glanced at the woman, and then asked Song Yishan.
Yuan Yishan rolled his eyes fiercely, and replied angrily: "This is my stepmother." ”
cough cough cough ......
At this moment, not only Lord Song, but also Liu Yingyi and Ning Wuze were all surprised.
Shui Qingxiang scolded in her heart, she couldn't imagine that this old man Yuan was quite romantic, and before half of his legs were stretched into the coffin, he married such a beautiful young lady.
"Mrs. Yuan's mourning, the cause of Yuan Lao's death was a little sudden, we want to find out the cause of Yuan Lao's death, so as to tell Yuan Lao's spirit in the sky." Lord Song's courtesy is very thoughtful.
But Mrs. Yuan had tears on her face, but there was no sad look in her eyes: "My husband warned me before he died, don't report to the official, don't call the doctor, you are moving his body now, won't it make my husband restless after his death?" ”
Seeing this, Liu Yingyi also stubbornly said: "Master, the master passed away suddenly, and only by finding out the cause of the master's death can he be buried in peace." ”
"You ......" Mrs. Yuan pointed at Liu Yingyi and was about to scold, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and did not entangle with Liu Yingyi anymore, but followed Yuan Yihai's example, lying in front of the coffin and wailing.
This man and woman guarding the coffin are like guarding treasures, which makes people feel funny when they see it.
Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this family really loves acting.
