Chapter 256: Old Past
"Oh?"
Yang Huairen was very surprised, could it be that Zhang Lu's family came to provide some clues this time?
Zhang Lushi wiped two lines of old tears, and said slowly: "If you want to find Wu'er to take revenge and kill someone, there can only be one person in Qizhou City, and that is Tao Yong, who sells mutton in the West Market!" ā
Yang Huairen remembered that Li Jin, the head catcher, had also mentioned this name during the day, and now that Zhang Lu had mentioned it again, it seemed that there must be an unknown grudge between this Tao Yong and the deceased Zhang Laohu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Why is that? Does Zhang's mother have evidence to point out that Tao Yong, who sells mutton, is the murderer? ā
"There is no conclusive evidence of the old body, but to talk about grudges, I have to mention an old incident twenty years ago."
Zhang Lushi didn't seem to arbitrarily draw conclusions out of thin air, but as if she knew something, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she remembered something she didn't want to remember.
"That was twenty years ago, when my son was only sixteen years old and still a teenager......
An'er was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he didn't want to study, but he only liked to practice martial arts. When he was ten years old, he joined a master who lived in seclusion on the South Mountain to practice martial arts.
At that time, Tao Yong was about the same age as him, and he also worshipped under the door of this master who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and became Wu'er's senior brother.
Five years later, both of them had achieved some success in martial arts, and they went down the mountain together and returned to Qizhou City. At that time, the relationship between the two brothers was deep, so good that they could eat the same bowl of rice and sleep in the same bunk, which can be described as a deep brotherhood.
It's just that the personalities of the two are too similar, so much so that they fell in love with the same little lady later. It's a shame to say that it was the old man who indulged him and made him what he was later.
Cuihong Courtyard was not originally called this name, it was still called Yihong House more than 20 years ago, and a young lady named Xiang Ling'er came to Yihong Mansion that year, and she was the same age as An'er.
This Miss Xiang Ling'er just debuted that year, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is not the top girl in Yihong Mansion, but this Chun Ling'er has a good piano and a good voice like a lark, and she is also likable.
At that time, An'er and Tao Yong had just come down from the mountain, and they were still ignorant teenagers. One day, the two little brothers didn't know what happened, and they instigated each other and went to Yihong Mansion, saying that they wanted to see the world.
But it doesn't matter if you go, it has caused a bad fate. Since the two of them saw Chun Ling'er for the first time and heard her sing a little song, they fell into love for her at the same time and couldn't extricate themselves.
After that, the two of them often went to Yihong Mansion, just to see her and listen to her sing a song, and their mood naturally improved.
The young man's love was just beginning, and he fell in love with a girl in a Qinglou without reason, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the two of them fell too deep, and then they were jealous for the sake of fighting for the wind, and finally fought.
The brotherhood also disappeared without a trace at that moment. In order to compete for this Qinglou woman, An'er and Tao Yong were ready to use money to redeem her, and they both vowed to marry this Chun Ling'er.
The old body still remembers the picture of An'er kneeling in front of the old body and begging bitterly that day, but what does this make the old body do?
Although the Zhang family is not a high-ranking family or a scholarly family, it can be regarded as a small rich family in Qizhou City, and they still need face.
An'er's father left early, but left him some family wealth, the old body planned to wait for him to become an adult, use this money to make him the capital to do some decent business, and then find a good family of young ladies to marry a wife and have children, continue the incense.
But An'er was already fascinated by this Chun Ling'er at that time, and made a poisonous oath in front of the old body that she would not marry. The old body and mind thought that An'er was just young and ignorant, so he was confused by Chun Ling'er's beauty.
If she was only accepted as a concubine, the neighbors would not make irresponsible remarks, so as not to lose the dignity of the Zhang family, but An'er insisted on marrying her as a wife.
At first, the old body did not agree, and An'er knelt in front of the old body for three days without eating or drinking. The old body couldn't resist him, so he gave him silver money to redeem this Chun Ling'er.
It is said that the drama is unrighteous and the cousin is ruthless, and An'er spent a lot of money to redeem him, and she came to Zhang's house not only not to be grateful, but to cry all day long.
The old body heard from other people's mouths that Chun Ling'er and Tao Yong had already made a private agreement for life, but it was only because Tao Yong couldn't come up with enough money to redeem her for a while that An'er took the lead.
Do you remember the picture of the lady in the study of the nunnery? That's the portrait of Chun Ling'er......"
Yang Huairen remembered the picture of a lady hanging on the wall in Zhang Gong'an's study during the day, and now he suddenly realized, "I see."
This also explains why the picture appeared in that position, why Zhang Gong'an still burned incense to worship, Zhang Gong'an was lying on the couch in the study, and he could see the portrait when he looked up, which was actually such a reason.
It's just that, according to age, this Chun Ling'er should be about the same age as Zhang Laohu now, but the Zhang Yao family who claimed to be Zhang Gong'an's wife who I saw in the hall during the day was only in his early thirties, and although his appearance was somewhat similar to the picture, he was obviously not the same person.
What's going on here? Could it be that this Chun Ling'er is dead?
Ke Xiaoxiao changed the tea for Zhang Lu's family, gave it to her and let her drink it, and Zhang Lushi continued, "If Chun Ling'er can be reconciled with An'er and his wife, then forget it, this thing can't live in the same day."
But the bad thing is that she has been thinking about Tao Yong at all, but she is very cold to An'er. As a mother, the old body wanted to teach this ungrateful a good lesson, but every time it was An'er who knelt down to stop the old body.
Later, she became pregnant, and the old man thought that maybe she had the flesh and blood of the nunnery, and she would be able to accept her heart in the future and be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in a down-to-earth manner......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Lushi suddenly trembled with anger, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "This water-based Yanghua woman is shameless and secretly married to Tao Yongzhu.
She entered the door in August, and gave birth to a girl in July, and gave birth to a red birthmark on the child's scalp, which is the same as the birthmark on Tao Yong's evil face, do you still need evidence? This kid is a wild seed at all!
How could the old woman, who is a mother, not understand her son's mood? Seeing An'er depressed all day long, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, the old body really can't bear it.
In the middle of the night one day, the old man personally went to Chun Ling'er's room and secretly took away this evil seed, and threw his personal mother into Xiaoqinghe.
Chun Ling'er disappeared from the child, looked around like crazy, blamed all the fault on An'er, and one day stabbed herself in front of An'er, and died in front of An'er.
It was from this time that An'er changed her temperament, what a kind child she was, her temperament changed dramatically, and suddenly she became violent, and there was the later Tiger Gang and Zhang Laohu who were rampant in the township. ā
