Chapter 36: Haunted
Shui Qingxiang and Liu Yingyi glanced at each other, and the two subconsciously distanced themselves.
Although Liu Yingyi knows some simple leg and foot kung fu, he does not have the acumen that Shui Qingxiang has always practiced martial arts, but he trusts Shui Qingxiang very much.
Even when the other person doesn't speak, I have a hunch that something must be happening.
The two of them walked separately, there were no street lights at night in ancient times, Liu Yingyi walked in front with a lantern in his hand, and Shui Qingxiang behind him hid in the dark, not too far away from Liu Yingyi, and quietly discovered the person hiding in the dark.
Only half a pillar of incense passed, and a black shadow appeared behind Liu Yingyi like a ghost in the night, just a few feet away from Liu Yingyi, Shui Qingxiang jumped out like a dexterous swallow, and struck the opponent's neck with his hand as a knife.
The man was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, Shui Qingxiang turned the man over, and Liu Yingyi looked at the man's face, it was Yuan Yihai, the second son of the Yuan family.
Yoo Young-yi's inn room.
Qin Zhutou and Shui Qingxiang are like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right Standing on the left and right sides of Liu Yingyi, an oil lamp illuminates the room brightly, and Yuan Yihai is tied up like a crab.
Liu Yingyi asked Qin Zhutou: "Did the coachman find Granny Ding?" ”
"Found." Qin Zhutou nodded and reported to Liu Yingyi, "The Ding family originally said that they were going to report to the official, but when they heard that it was the coachman of the Yuan family, they planned to sue, and the Yuan family gave the Ding family a lot of silver. Granny Ding's grandson has woken up, and her son is fine. ”
This matter is over, and Liu Yingyi turned her attention to Yuan Yihai in front of her.
Shui Qingxiang glanced at Liu Yingyi, seemed to have Liu Yingyi's permission, picked up a cup of tea, and splashed the tea on Yuan Yihai's face.
Yuan Yihai, who was originally in a coma, was immediately woken up and scolded: "Damn, what do you want to do?" Liu Yingyi, don't think that because you have a special status, you can do whatever you want. ”
"Do whatever you want? What do you want to follow me in the middle of the night? Liu Yingyi smiled contemptuously and replied to Yuan Yihai.
"My father was supposed to be buried today, but as soon as you came, you disrupted everything, and hooked up with my father's continuation room, if I didn't teach you a lesson, wouldn't I be a son of man?" Yuan Yihai was furious, furious, and looked like he was going to tear Liu Ying apart.
"The master was poisoned to death, not only you and I know about this matter, but Yancheng County Ling and Qi Zuo can also testify in person. Now that the murderer who killed the master has not been caught, are you willing to let the master die with hatred like this? ”
"Even if you want to find out the cause of your father's death, why do you want to go against the people of the Yuan family? You and I don't know, you helped Boss Yuan pay off his debts, why did you hook up with my father's woman? Don't you want to win the Yuan family's property? That woman has a bad reputation, my eldest brother and I have long wanted to drive her away, don't you take a fancy to that woman and want to take that woman under your name? Yuan Yihai said angrily, as if he hated that Mrs. Yuan very much.
This surprised Liu Yingyi, who originally planned to start with Mrs. Yuan to learn about the situation of the Yuan family, but the coquettish and cunning woman had a very strict mouth and did not reveal anything.
"Hehe, I don't have the slightest interest in Mrs. Yuan. I just want to quickly find out what happened before the master was killed, and see who is most likely to be the murderer. Liu Yingyi told the truth.
"Hmph, you think I'm going to believe it? That fox girl has been in the Yuan Mansion for a few years, but everything that can be seen has to hook up, if it weren't for the coachman's low status, I'm afraid that that kind of lowly person will also become his minister. Yuan Yihai did not hide his dislike for Mrs. Yuan at all.
"Isn't the coachman his cousin?" Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but gossip into her mouth.
"Hmph, that woman came to Yancheng alone, where did her relatives come from? Those are just villains who want to use her to cling to the Yuan family. Yuan Yihai said indignantly.
Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but feel a little worthless for Yuan Gong, he worked hard for decades and raised children for others, but in the end, no one cared about the cause of his death, only the property of the Yuan family.
Liu Yingyi sighed faintly: "Yuan Yihai, let me tell you again, I am not interested in Mrs. Yuan, and I dare not be interested in the Yuan family's wealth." I came to Yancheng just to find out the cause of my master's death. ”
Yuan Yihai looked at Liu Yingyi suspiciously, and said for a while: "Also, with your identity, it will not be rare for the Yuan family to have this little wealth." ”
This sentence made Shui Qingxiang extremely puzzled, this Liu Yingyi is just a county order, what else can he have, how can he not look down on the Yuan family's industry?
Liu Yingyi gave Qin Zhutou a look, and Qin Yan immediately handed Yuan Yihai a sweat towel with understanding, untied the rope on his body, and pulled out a chair for Yuan Yihai to sit down.
Yuan Yihai wiped his face with a handkerchief and sat down.
"Tell me, the scene on the day Yuan Gong died?" Liu Yingyi wants to use Yuan Yihai as a breakthrough.
Seeing that Liu Yingyi really found out the murderer for Yuan Gong, Yuan Yihai also calmed down and tried to start recalling the experience of that day.
"The situation in Yuan's Mansion was a bit chaotic that day, and my father had been suffering from a high fever since he appeared from the haunted study, and he wouldn't let us ask for a doctor. I remember the morning of the accident, my father's spirit was not bad, he was reluctant to eat in the past, that day he actually said that he wanted to drink porridge, after drinking porridge began to rest, I thought that my father's body and bones would begin to improve, but I didn't expect to hear my eldest brother come to my room in the afternoon and shout, 'Something happened to my father'. I rushed over to see that my father was no longer breathing. ”
"So, Yuan Yishan is the last person to see the master alive?" Little by little, Yoo Young-yi is getting closer to the truth.
"I don't know. Anyway, when I followed my eldest brother to my father's bedroom, my father had already passed away. ”
"Who takes care of the master's usual diet? On the day of the master's accident, who sent the bowl of porridge? ”
"The food up and down in the house is managed by Mother Liu in the kitchen, and my father's meals are usually taken care of by Yahuan Xiaolan, and the bowl of porridge should also be sent by Xiaolan. We all thought that my father died of a sudden illness, and no one thought that he was poisoned. ”
"You said before that the master was missing, what's going on?"
Yuan Yihai's face changed slightly, "It's not that I'm missing, it's just that my father likes to stay in that haunted room, and he often can't find anyone, but it's a little longer these days." ”
"A haunted room?" Liu Yingyi's dark eyes looked at Yuan Yihai, and she seemed to be very interested.
"That's it, it's my father's study, and there is a jade unicorn in it. That thing is evil, I heard that it will suck people's souls, it was given by Emperor Taizu, no one dares to move, and no one usually feels easy to enter the study. I heard the boss say that my father was killed by the jade unicorn. ”
