In the evening, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun came back from inquiring about the news.

Because they knew that these news might be a bit large and complicated, Su Wuming and the others specially set up a square table in the courtyard, and brought wine and food, ready to listen to it while eating.

After everyone sat down, suddenly a gust of wind blew down the wooden leaves in the courtyard, and Su Wuming took down the dead leaves that fell on the corner of the table, and then asked, "What did you hear?" ”

Jiang Ying bowed his hand slightly and said: "Back to the adult, this Cheng Mansion is really complicated and has a huge number of people, and Lin Yun and I investigated for a long time before we figured it out!" ”

"Now that it's clear, let's talk about it, everyone listen!"

Jiang Ying bowed his head, and then spoke: "Now the Cheng family has three generations, Cheng Yu is the oldest, holding the power of life and death in the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yu has two concubines, both in their forties, they are a pair of sisters, called Xia He and Xia Ting, of which Xia He is the elder sister, gave birth to a son and a daughter for Cheng Yu, Xia He's children are now adults, called Cheng Dong and Cheng Qing, Cheng Dong is the elder brother, and now he is the second shopkeeper in one of the restaurants of their Cheng family. And on Cheng Dong Cheng Qing, there are two brothers and a sister, they are all born to Cheng Yu's original match, that is, the daughter of the restaurant owner who Cheng Yu hooked up with before Cheng Yu, she died more than ten years ago, leaving these two sons and a woman, now they are almost forty years old, the eldest son Cheng Bo, because his family was not richer than he is now, so he is very hard-working, and now half of the restaurants in the Cheng family are in charge of running them, it is reported that Cheng Yu likes his eldest son very much, is ready to wait for a hundred years later, and hand over this huge family business to him to take care of, after all, he is the boss and has this ability, but there is one bad thing, that is, this Cheng Bo is sometimes timid, and he is the most life-saving. ”

Jiang Ying said this, paused slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of wine and moistened it, and then continued: "The second son Cheng Zhong, about five years younger than Cheng Bo, this Cheng Zhong is not as diligent as his eldest brother at all, he is a merry man, he thinks about where to drink flower wine all day long, and fools around with his group of fox friends and dog friends, not doing his job at all, I heard that Cheng Yu is very helpless to him, for this matter, he has not taught him a lesson, but he just didn't listen, after a few good things, he still went outside to spend time drinking, He now has a restaurant under his command, but he has never managed business, if it weren't for the second shopkeeper of the restaurant who is a capable master, I am afraid that he would have lost money long ago. ”

Speaking of this, everyone discussed with each other a little bit, and then Su Wuming asked Jiang Ying to continue.

"The third daughter Cheng Die, now married, her husband's family is a scholarly family, but her husband Lu Wei has failed several times, and then he thought about doing business, because of Cheng Die's relationship, Cheng Yu let the husband and wife take charge of a restaurant, but only one is in charge, I think it is worried that Lu Wei will go his own way and take his years of hard work for himself."

After Jiang Ying said this, Lin Yun couldn't wait, pulled Jiang Ying, and said, "I'll take care of the rest!" ”

Jiang Ying also spoke a little dry, he nodded slightly, made two gestures of please, Lin Yun grinned, and then continued: "Jiang Ying said just now that Cheng Yu and his children, the next is the third generation of the Cheng family, but this third generation has nothing to say, Cheng Bo married a wife and has several concubines, but only his wife gave birth to a daughter, not even a son, and now his daughter is seventeen or eighteen, and she can be described as slim, called Cheng Rou." This second Cheng Zhong, although he spends a lot of time drinking, but he is extremely powerful in giving birth to children, he has a lot of concubines, and now he has given birth to two sons and two daughters, but they are only seven or eight years old, there is nothing to say, but there is one thing, that is, Cheng Yu likes his grandchildren very much, and he chats and plays with them if he has nothing to do, I think it is for this reason that Cheng Zhong is saved from the doom of taking back the restaurant! ”

After Lin Yun finished speaking, Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is the relationship between Cheng Yu's children?" ”

"Back to adults, their relationship can only be described by the word cold, whether it is half-father or half-mother, they are very cold, and the relationship between Cheng Bo and Cheng Zhong and Cheng Dong is even colder to the extreme, I think they are Cheng Mansion men, there is competition to inherit the family business, this Cheng Die and Cheng Qing, although the relationship is not very cold, but after all, they are not the same mother, so the relationship is not so good that people can see it at a glance."

"However, the two brothers and sisters, Cheng Dong and Cheng Die, because they were born in the concubine room, are usually very cautious in doing things, and they dare not offend people easily." After Lin Yun finished saying that, Jiang Ying hurriedly added.

Su Wuming now has an understanding of the relationship between the top and bottom of this Cheng Mansion, but from these aspects, I am afraid that he cannot find out who is the haunted person.

After a long time, Su Wuming looked at Jiang Ying and asked, "You just said that Cheng Yu is ready to leave the family business to Cheng Bo after a hundred years, but is that so?" ”

"That's true, people from all over the Cheng Mansion basically know about it."

"And what was the reaction of the others?"

"They didn't react on the surface, but they all complained about this matter in private, saying that Cheng Yu was too biased towards Cheng Bo." After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Master Su suspects that person is pretending to be a ghost in order to scare Cheng Bo?" ”

Su Wuming nodded slightly: "That's right, since the people of the Cheng Mansion don't like Cheng Yu's decision very much, and they all know that Cheng Bo is timid, so if they pretend to be a ghost and scare Cheng Bo, will they have a chance to get a piece of the Cheng family's property?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other and felt that this was very possible, but the Cheng family had so many people and the relationship was so complicated, who could be the main messenger who pretended to be a god and a ghost?

When these things were discussed, it was already late at night, and Su Wuming had a very uneasy feeling in his heart, but this feeling was indescribable, and he couldn't express it in words, and finally he was speechless, so he had to go back to rest.

In the next few days, Qiantang County was very calm, and the haunting seemed to have subsided suddenly, and there was no more haunting in Chengfu, so Su Wuming was also very quiet these days, and did not receive any news and clues from anyone.

It seems that the haunted thing is just a person who suddenly has a lot of fun, pretending to be a ghost and scary.

But the calmer he was, the more Su Wuming felt that things were not simple, and the more likely it was that something big might happen.

And sure enough, after a few days of calm in Qiantang County, a murder suddenly occurred in Cheng's house, and Cheng Yu's eldest son Cheng Bo was found hanging in his home.

The news soon spread throughout Qiantang County, and after the news came out, all the people thought that the murderer was the lonely ghost, who had found a substitute for the dead ghost, and he was going to be reincarnated in hell and the underworld.

Everyone agreed in this way, and this kind of statement spread more and more widely, and the wider and more scary, and in the end, many people did not dare to approach the vicinity of Cheng's house, for fear that there would be no more grievances that would not disperse and affect them.

Qian Sheng was very scared of this, he seemed to have suddenly started to believe in ghosts and gods after Cheng Bo hanged himself, so before going to the murder scene to investigate, he first ordered someone to find Su Wuming, and without Su Wuming's company, he categorically did not dare to go to the mansion.

When the news reached Su Wuming's ears, Su Wuming was shocked, he always felt that something would happen, but that feeling was sometimes so weak that it was difficult to detect, so he didn't take any action for his feelings, when he heard that Cheng Bo was killed, he felt remorseful, he felt that if he had protected Cheng Bo earlier, maybe this murder would not have happened.

The reason why it is said to be a murder is because Su Wuming does not believe in the murder of lonely ghosts at all.

On the way to Cheng Mansion with the servants, Su Wuming met Qian Sheng, where Qian Sheng was still some distance away from Cheng Mansion, but he walked very slowly, in order to wait for Su Wuming to come and go together.

When Su Wuming saw Qian Sheng, he immediately knew that Qian Sheng was scared, otherwise in the long time after he learned the news, he would have had time to go back and forth from the county government to Chengfu.

In the face of this kind of fearful official, Su Wuming had a nameless fire in his heart, but now that the murder was in front of him, he had no intention of making more plans with Qian Sheng, waved his hand slightly, and led everyone to Cheng Mansion.

When the process was in the house, there was a lot of sadness inside, Cheng Bo's wife and his only daughter Cheng Rou almost cried, although the others also cried, but they were not as powerful as they imagined, they were more pretentious, after all, in their hearts, they had long thought that Cheng Bo would die, and they would share the Cheng family's business.

Others couldn't cry, but Cheng Yu didn't shed a single tear, but his face was extremely ugly, his daughter Cheng Die comforted him on the side, but he didn't say a word, just when everyone didn't know what to do, Cheng Yu suddenly fell to the ground, and passed out so coldly.

Now that Cheng Yu is a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, how can the pain in his heart be experienced by others?

How many things has he experienced in his life, although he can firmly not cry, but in the end it is his son who dies, and the heartache is unpreventable, how can the will be able to support it?

Su Wuming and others saw Cheng Yu fainting, and hurriedly walked over, while the people up and down Cheng Mansion hurriedly acted separately, after a long time, Cheng Yu woke up, but when he woke up, he was already in tears, but although he was in tears, he didn't cry out like others, because the pain was in his heart, because he couldn't shout a word because of the pain, although he wanted to shout loudly to vent the pain in his heart.

After helping Cheng Yu to go back to the room to rest, other things went on as usual, Cheng Li was arranging the mourning hall, and the others were kneeling in the mourning hall crying, Cheng Bo's body had been carried to the bed, just waiting for Su Wuming to be buried after they were inspected.
