Chapter 80: The Death of Liu Chengchuan
"You!" Chen glared angrily at Aunt Wan who was kneeling on the ground, her face was as black as a pot of iron, and she was obviously very angry.
It took a long time for his chest to rise and fall before he calmed down, and he snorted, "Good." Do you remember what he did ugly things at the beginning, when he intended to murder his younger brother, the concubine of the Prime Minister's house, such a crime is not exaggerated even if it is death, the old man spared him when he was the eldest son, I hate it in my heart but I can only endure it, do you think I will send someone to kill him? I, Chen Yingyue, am not stupid, the first person to be suspected of killing him was me, why should I do such a stupid thing? ”
Aunt Wan was speechless for a while, so she stopped talking, only crying, Liu Yingyuan slapped the table hard, "What are you crying about, I will almost drink water and find out, and I will not spare who did it when the time comes." ”
Chen was shocked in his heart, and secretly glanced at Zhang's mother, both of whom had slight doubts in their eyes.
At night, the three of Chen's master and servant sat in the house, and Lu Yi knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
Chen looked at her and asked, "What the hell is going on?" The medicine given to you is just to make him sick and weak, and he can no longer do anything, how can he die? ”
Lu Yi shook his head in horror, his face was full of tears, "The slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid taught his cousin the medicinal powder given by his wife and carefully instructed him how to use it, and I don't know how this happened." ”
Chen glanced at Zhang's mother, and both of them were full of doubts, "What's going on then?" How did Liu Chengchuan die well? ”
Zhang's mother was older after all, and after thinking about it, she said: "Madame, don't be anxious, let's be restless, don't make any moves recently, the greenery is also up, and you must behave as usual these days, don't let people see the abnormality."
Lu Yi stood up, her heart was still full of fear, she knew that once Liu Yingyuan found out what had happened, she would definitely die.
Mother Zhang walked up to her, held her hands, and comforted: "Luyi, don't be afraid, now we are like grasshoppers on a rope, if we find it, not only you, but I will also die, even Mrs. can't be left alone, but the master may not find us, so we must calm down these days, you know?"
"Well, Mom Zhang, I see." Lu Yi nodded, wiped the tears in her eyes, and gradually calmed down in her heart, in fact, after doing that incident, she already knew that she couldn't escape death, but it was just sooner or later, and now that the East Window incident happened, it was useless for her to think more, it was better to wait quietly, maybe it was really as Zhang's mother said, she couldn't find herself.
Liu Chengchuan died on Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi was half a day's journey away from Yujing City, and the next person came to report that it was a day, and it was already the second day to bring Liu Chengchuan back.
Now that it's June, the weather is getting hotter, Liu Yingyuan didn't dare to let him go for a long time, and he was hurriedly buried after stopping at home for three days, only claiming that he had a strange disease and died, and the funeral ended in a hurry, but the matter was far from over.
Liu Yingyuan's most important son at the beginning was Liu Chengchuan, but because of what happened half a year ago, he was very disappointed in him, and he didn't pay attention to it after sending it to Zhuangzi, and then gradually forgot about this son because of his busy affairs.
Who knew that half a year later, such bad news came, he was naturally sad in his heart, and on the day he got the news, he immediately sent his most trusted Liu Cheng to Zhuangzi to investigate, no matter who did it, he must find out.
He vaguely suspected in his heart that it was Chen's handiwork, but as she said, once Chengchuan died, she would be the first object of suspicion, would she really be so stupid?
Liu Cheng has been going for a few days, and there has been no news back, and I don't know how the investigation went? He sat at the table and sighed, in recent days, he obviously felt that everything was not going well, first there was an accident like snow, and now Chuan'er is dead again, is their Liu family's fortune going to be like this?
Just thinking about it, there was movement outside the study, he immediately looked towards the door, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Cheng, "You're back, have you found the news?" ”
Liu Cheng was still expressionless as usual, he handed over a letter with both hands, Liu Yingyuan quickly took it, hurriedly read the content of the letter, his face was full of disbelief, his body seemed to be a little unstable and shook a few times, Liu Cheng quickly walked to his side and supported him, "Master, be careful!" ”
After Liu Yingyuan stabilized his mind, he waved his hand, "You go down first." Liu Cheng looked at him with some concern, and finally left.
Liu Yingyuan seemed to be much older for a moment, his face was full of exhaustion, and he sat down on the seat behind him with the paper in his hand, closing his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
I don't know how long later, the door of the study was opened again, and Liu Cheng immediately turned around when he heard the sound and saw Liu Yingyuan, who had regained his calm.
He looked at Liu Cheng and ordered in a deep voice: "Take twenty government soldiers and follow me to Linyue Zhai!"
A hint of surprise crossed Liu Cheng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, he lowered his head and immediately went down to prepare.
At this time, it was the afternoon, and Chen took a nap in the house for half an hour at this hour every day, and the courtyard was quiet everywhere, when suddenly there was a loud noise, the courtyard door was kicked open, and the two subordinates guarding the courtyard were thrown to the ground.
The silent Linyuezhai instantly poured into a large group of people, and the people in the courtyard were too frightened to make a sound, because they all saw that it was the old man who rushed in with people, and they didn't know what was going on.
Chen also heard the sound at this time, and his heart was terrified, and Zhang's mother was also scared at the moment, but Lu Yi had no expression, and stood aside with a blank face.
When Liu Yingyuan came in, Chen had already dressed up and sat in the room, and when he saw him, he couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and asked, "What is the reason why the master came so aggressively?" I also brought so many government soldiers, I don't know what happened to my Linyuezhai? ”
"What's the matter? When you die, you are still hard-mouthed, Chuan'er was harmed by you, a poisonous woman, do you dare to quibble now? Liu Yingyuan's face was full of rage, glaring at the Chen family in front of him.
Chen knew that he had found it, so he no longer shirked it, stood up with a smile, looked at Liu Yingyuan and said, "How eccentric the master!" Ming'er was almost killed by him, you just beat him thirty boards and sent them to Zhuangzi, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled that my hard freak October heart and liver have suffered like this in vain! Chen said with tears welling up in his eyes, and then became fierce, "Hmph, so I let people poison him, but the poison is definitely not fatal, it just makes him sick and weak, and he will never be able to do anything, why he died has nothing to do with me!" ”
As soon as the words fell, she was slapped by Liu Yingyuan and fell to the ground, she felt a buzzing in her brain, and the left side of her face was even more painful, she wiped the corners of her mouth, her hands were full of blood, and a wave of hatred suddenly surged in her heart.
"Liu Yingyuan, it's just a dead concubine, are you going to kill me? I said his death had nothing to do with me! ”
"Slut, you still dare to quibble!" Liu Yingyuan glared angrily, looked at Lu Yi who was kneeling on the ground, and Zhang's mother who was holding Chen's family, and immediately ordered the people behind him: "Come on, drag these two people down and beat me hard, beat them to death!"
When Zhang's mother heard this, she immediately began to shout and beg for mercy, "Master spare your life, madam, madam......"
But she seemed to be with the wrong person, Chen just sat on the ground, without the slightest intention of begging for mercy for them, and Luyi, who seemed to have expected all this, was dragged down without saying a word.
Outside the door, there was the sound of "pop bang" slapping on the flesh one after another, as well as a muffled snort, Chen looked up at Liu Yingyuan, "What are you going to do with me?" ”
Liu Yingyuan snorted coldly, "How is it?" For the sake of you giving birth to two sons and a daughter for me, I will not divorce you, nor will I report to the official, and from now on I will send you to the family temple, and you will recite the scriptures in the family temple for the rest of your life to atone for your sins! ”
Everyone in Linyuezhai was sold, and several big girls were beaten to death, and for a while the people in the house were trembling, for fear that one would accidentally make the master unhappy.
This happened, and everyone knew in their hearts that the death of the eldest young master was inseparable from his wife, otherwise the old master would not have made such a big move.
Since then, Linyuezhai has become a forbidden place in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one dares to go there again.
That night, on the mass grave outside the city, two black shadows flashed, and finally stopped at a place where many corpses had just been thrown.
"Are you sure they're being thrown here?"
"Well, I quietly followed and watched when they were transporting the bodies today, and this is it, yes."
After a squirming sound, "There is one here who still has a breath, I don't know if it's the one you said." ”
"That's her! She's still angry? ”
"Yes."
The two figures quickly disappeared again, and the mass grave in the darkness returned to calm, and from time to time a few crows were heard, which was a little more eerie.
On a village outside the city, a young man was taking the pulse of a bloodied woman on the bed, and after a while he opened his eyes and said to the man in black beside him: "The spleen and lungs were all injured by heavy blows, but fortunately there is a life, but it will take a long time to recuperate."
The young woman next to her finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Thank you Divine Doctor." ”
The young man turned to look at her, and then said, "You are a woman, go and fetch water to wipe the blood from her body, I will go and get some medicine, and you will apply it for her." The woman nodded, and immediately turned to go out.
After the woman left, the young man turned to look at the man in black, with a joke in his eyes, "Why, you came to me in the middle of the night just to save a woman?" Shen Qian, this is not like you, which one is your sweetheart? The young man pretended to think for a while, "Well, I see that the one on the bed is more than beautiful, but not glamorous, but the one who went out, well, a beautiful woman!" ”
Shen Qian glanced at him a little helplessly, "What nonsense!" ”
The young man looked at him and nodded meaningfully, "Oh, it turns out that I guessed wrong, then such a stunning beauty, Brother Shen might as well introduce it to me, I will definitely pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”
After saying that, Shen Qian gave him a cold look, and he immediately burst into laughter, at this time, Meng Xiaoran walked in with a basin of hot water, and was a little surprised when he saw the person laughing, but he didn't ask more, and the two of them immediately retreated when they saw her come in.
