Chapter 210: Another Twist and Turn
When he returned home, Yu Shaobai told Yu's mother about his idea of proposing, but the answer he got was unexpected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Mother, why don't you agree, don't you really like Miss Wu? How did it suddenly change? ”
Seeing Yu Shaobai's excited appearance, Yu's mother sighed and said, "Haven't you heard what is said outside?" Why do you still want to marry her? ”
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai was a little speechless in his heart, he didn't expect Yu's mother to think the same way, "Mother, she was rescued by me." Is there any tarnished innocence, the son himself knows in his heart, is there really an innocent body is more important than the son's happiness? I don't care what other people say, what they like to say! ”
"You...... It's always my mother who doesn't agree! ”
"Mother, you look down on Lingrou in your heart, even if she marries into our family, I believe you won't get along happily. I just want to say that when my father died, didn't the people in the village have some rumors about my mother? But you didn't raise us as adults, my son is no worse than them now, as long as I get ahead, no one dares to point a finger at me! Mother, you should be more aware of Lingrou's situation, I hope you can achieve it! ”
Hearing this, Yu's mother was slightly stunned, and she was silent for a long time and suddenly sighed: "Okay, my mother is from here, and it's for your good." Since you're not afraid of rumors, then marry it. ”
Yu Shaobai was just about to speak, when he heard footsteps outside, knock knock~ Then there was a knock on the door.
"Childe, it's Chunjiao."
"Come in."
Chunjiao pushed the door in, blessed Yu's mother, and muttered a few words to Yu Shaobai's side, only to see Yu Shaobai's face change suddenly, and slowly put his eyes on Yu's mother who was roasting by the stove, he waved his hand and commanded Chunjiao a few words, and she then left.
"Qing'er, if you have something to do, go and get busy, my mother won't object to that matter."
Yu Shaobai arched his hand and said, "Then I'll go out first." ”
When he came to the study, his face became a little gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Zhan Xing and Chunjiao who were waiting on the side, "Speak~"
"Chief, just now the brothers of the Zheng family came to the news, the Sun family's medicinal herb shop in Pingdu Town was washed in blood in broad daylight, and the family of fifteen, except for the whereabouts of his son-in-law Yu Wei, all of them were in different places, and they died extremely miserably."
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai was shocked and angry in his heart, no matter how much Yu Wei was his nominal second brother, how could he be indifferent.
"Does the Sun family have any enemies or who have a grudge against them?"
"The brothers went to check, Sun Liang, the shopkeeper of the Sun family, is not very upright, and many people have bad relations with him......"
Yu Shaobai stretched out his hand to interrupt Chunjiao's words, and said coldly: "Let the brothers visit all the people who have a bad relationship with Sun Liang, remember!" Don't hurt anyone, but be sure to find Yu Wei's whereabouts. ”
What he is worried about now may not be Yu Wei, but Yu Mu...... Once she knows about it, once her body can't stand the blow, how can it be.
"Chunjiao, you go to the neighbors now, please don't tell my mother the news of the accident in the Sun family." With that, he left the study and headed for the kitchen.
"Third brother, come and taste it, this is my dish."
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Ah Lian, who was standing next to Ruyu, ran to Yu Shaobai's side, her face full of anticipation.
Yu Shaobai smiled, took a bite and nodded, and said, "Ah Lian's craftsmanship is getting better and better. ”
"Really? This is what my third sister-in-law taught me, and I will give my mother a taste now. With that, Ah Lian walked out of the kitchen with a plate.
The smile on Yu Shaobai's face disappeared, and Ruyu on the side noticed that his face was a little strange, walked away from the stove, closed the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice: "Shaobai, didn't my mother promise you to marry Miss Wu?" ”
"No, my mother agreed, but I'm afraid this marriage will have to be put on hold."
Ruyu wondered: "Is there an accident?" ”
Yu Shaobai nodded and told her about the Sun family's accident, seeing her frightened appearance, he became more and more worried about the consequences of Yu's mother knowing the news.
"I wonder a little in my heart about this matter, what kind of grievance can make the Sun family annihilated?"
Yu Shaobai was stunned when he heard this, yes, although Sun Liang had a bad relationship with his neighbors, it was all trivial things, and he would not do anything to destroy the door to relieve his hatred. It is impossible for the opponent of the business to make such an outrageous revenge, it is too bloody, so who did it?
"Did my mother hear about this?"
Hearing Ruyu's words, Yu Shaobai came back to his senses, he seemed to have grasped some key things just now, but it flashed and made him confused again.
"I haven't told my mother about this yet, Yu Wei's life and death are uncertain now, I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to stand the blow. I've already arranged things outside, and my mother doesn't like to go out, you just need to let Da Vulgar accompany Xiao Wu and Ah Lian to play at home, and don't let the rumors outside reach their ears. ”
Ruyu nodded. "Paper can't contain the fire, and the Sun family's accident will always fall on my mother's ears, and I'm really worried that she will ...... when the time comes."
"Alas~"
Yu Shaobai sighed, for Yu's mother, this accident lost her only eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter, daughter-in-law, plus her second son, who was very likely to be murdered, and lost her ...... Too much.
"You get busy first, I'll go to the yamen, you don't have to wait for me for lunch." After that, he went out of the kitchen, and watched Xiao Wu and Ah Shu building snowmen in the yard, he whispered a few words to Ah Shu and left the Yu family.
The weather in Layue was already extremely cold, although Yu Shaobai couldn't feel it, but ordinary people stayed at their homes at this time, and the bazaar was empty, and there was no one in the market.
Yu Shaobai entered Sanhe Lane and came to Wu's house. At this time, Wu Lingrou was having a snowball fight with Li'er in the backyard, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.
In the Accord, Wu Zichu sat at the table, looked at Yu Shaobai opposite, and said comfortingly: "I guess you will definitely come over after you know the news, my father has sent a catcher to investigate the affairs of the Sun family, and I believe that it will definitely be investigated." ”
"Government ...... I'm afraid that by the time the government finds out, Yu Wei will already become a pile of bones. I'm going to look it up on my own......"
Hearing this, Wu Zichu was slightly stunned, showing a wry smile, for the incompetence of the government, even if his father is a magistrate, as his son, he has to admit that this is a fact.
"Well, since you're here for me, you must be planning to go to Pingdu. Without further ado, let's go. ”
"Wait a minute, Zichu."
"What's wrong?"
Yu Shaobai sighed and said: "Originally, I promised to let the matchmaker come to the door today to propose marriage, but I didn't think about it and there were extraneous branches. ”
Wu Zichu was stunned when he heard this, and nodded: "I forgot about this stubble." This kind of thing happened in your family, it is really not suitable to propose, you go to the backyard to explain to my little sister first, and then we will set off. ”
……
Half an hour later, Wu Zichu had already prepared the carriage outside the Wu family, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head to look. "Brother-in-law, how's it going?"
"I've made it clear to Lingrou that although she said it was okay, I still felt a little sorry for her."
"My little sister has been empathetic since she was a child, you don't have to think about it, your second brother's life is at stake. Let's go. ”
Yu Shaobai nodded, raised his legs and entered the carriage, recalling the loss that flashed in the corner of Wu Lingrou's eyes just now, he felt a little bored in his heart.
Just as he lost his mind, the carriage had already left the city gate and ran west along the official road, because of the influence of the snowy weather, until noon the carriage slowly came to Pingdu Town.
"Young master, the Sun family's pharmacy has arrived."
Hearing the words of the servant, Yu Shaobai took the lead in jumping out of the carriage and looked at this pharmacy shop, just yesterday, the Sun family was brutally killed. At this time, the yamen officer was not there, Yu Shaobai and Wu Zichu walked through the curtain in the front hall and came to the courtyard behind the pharmacy.
"Wu Gongzi, you're here." Wang Zhutou, who had been waiting in the backyard house for a long time, saw the two of them appear, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Yu Shaobai walked past Wang Zhutou, and went straight to the coffee table, a straw mat on the ground covered the corpse, Yu Shaobai stretched out his hand to pull off the straw mat, and saw the corpse of a girl dressed like a maid.
His eyes were on the scar on the maid's neck, the wound was extremely smooth, indicating that the killer was extremely fast with his sword, which was not something that ordinary people could do, which made him dispel a conjecture in his heart.
He had imagined before that it would be Yu Wei's drunken beastly nature and the bastard thing he did, and the reason why he thought this way was mainly because Yu Wei's impression in his heart was really not good, but now it seems that he thinks too much.
"Could it be that the fatal injuries of the Sun family are all sword wounds in the neck?" Yu Shaobai came to the bedside and saw the woman lying on the bed, and the wound was also on the neck.
When Wang Zhutou heard this, he replied: "That's right, I have just examined all the corpses, and all the corpses died from sword wounds in the neck, and the time of death should be at dawn yesterday, and the lady of the Sun family is lying on this bed." Originally, we thought it was a case of murder and money, but the Sun family's medicinal materials and silver are still there, it is really strange, the murderer is not for money, could it be because of hatred? ”
Yu Shaobai took the book he handed over, flipped through it carefully, and asked, "Did you go to the casino to ask when Yu Wei left the day before yesterday, and now is there anyone who can prove that Yu Wei was in the Sun family's pharmacy at dawn yesterday." ”
"I sent two brothers to ask at the casino, and a gambler said that he was in a hurry to go to the thatched house with Yu Wei, but he was not as fast as Yu Wei, so he could only wait outside, and after waiting for a long time to see him come out, he couldn't hold it back, so he shouted a few times, and never saw him come out again, and then went in to see that Yu Wei was not in the thatched house at all."
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai's face showed suspicion, the murderer was obviously killing people with a purpose, the Sun family didn't even let go of the maid, how could they spare Yu Wei, the son-in-law of the Sun family.
Yu Wei disappeared into the thatched house for no reason, obviously abducted by that person, but why did the murderer kill others and leave the body at the scene of the crime, but he was not so straightforward about Yu Wei, but took him out of the thatched house, what is the reason for this that has not been explored...... (To be continued.) )
