The night rain stopped in the early morning, and Xia Shang had just come out of the house and took a breath of fresh air when he learned the shocking news from the Fang family brothers - Sai Kang died!

The Fang family brothers have broken away from the Sai family, and they slept together with a few desks in the hall last night. The news came from the mouth of the Saijia family, who knew them well. It is said that now the Sai family has become a mess, and the Fang brothers came to tell Xia Shang that they wanted to hear Xia Shang's opinion.

At first hearing the news, the shock in Xia Shang's heart was indescribable: "What the hell is going on? Is the message exact? ”

"It's true. The white silk was pulled up at the door of the Sai Door. It is said that the young lady suddenly heard the screams of the young lady last night, and when the people ran to the door, the young master was already dead. There is no injury on his body at all, it is estimated that he is the same as the old man, and he has been coughed to death from tuberculosis. ”

"Sick?" Xia Shang squeezed out the word "Chuan" between his eyebrows, according to his observation of Saikang, he would not die of tuberculosis. The weakness that I show on weekdays is actually caused by not being active for too long. Even if it can cause death, it usually occurs after a certain age. Because when people get older, various body functions deteriorate and their resistance decreases, so they will die. And Saikang is upright and young, how could he die of tuberculosis?

Xia Shang thought it was unlikely, but the Fang brothers and all the subordinates of Saikang thought it was tuberculosis.

Fang Buyu sighed a little, and let out a sad look in his old voice: "Hey! The young master is really hard, he hasn't had a day of stability since he was born, and now it's gone. Shopkeeper, shouldn't we go over and have a look? ”

Xia Shang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You and I are not from the Sai family anymore. Their family affairs have nothing to do with us, and they are not justified, and it is embarrassing to stand there. Saijia is already chaotic enough, I still have business to do, so don't add to the chaos. ”

The Fang brothers looked at each other, and they were in a bad mood, so they couldn't lift their spirits.

Xia Shang could understand, after all, they had been in the Saijia for many years.

"Alright, all of them get their spirits up. Don't you want to learn how to cook? Today, I will teach you two to study hard, and if I am not here to host in the future, I will have to rely on the two of you, and I must not smash the signboard of the store. ”

Hearing that they were going to teach cooking, the Fang family brothers' eyes suddenly lit up. Watching Xia Shang come all the way, who doesn't know that his craftsmanship is a golden rice bowl? If you can learn a trick and a half, what will you worry about in the rest of your life?

……

Saijia -

The return of the eldest lady did not bring any joy to the family, but it became gloomy because of the sudden death of the young master.

All rooms in the courtyard were hastily hung with white silk, and last night's torrential rain made the house a mess.

The young master has not been buried yet, because the cause of death is still unknown. At this time, it is not judged by speculation, whether Saikang died of tuberculosis or not has to be decided.

He arrived early in the morning, and Saikang's room had been tightly sealed.

There were only three people in the house: Qi Zuo, the eldest lady and Qin Lan.

Qin Lan sat in the corner in despair, her face pale, still wearing the tattered underwear that she found out she was wearing last night, holding a teacup in her small hand and trembling.

The eldest lady sat in the hall, pressed her eyebrows with one hand, and lowered her head to see what kind of expression it was. I could only see that she was quite calm, not trembling, and not showing excessive sadness. In fact, it is also very understandable that there is such a son, from the day he learned that he had tuberculosis, he had to be mentally prepared for the loss of the child. After so many years of preparation, the damned one is finally dead, but there is no need to be so scared, to put it ruthlessly, this can be regarded as a relief.

Because Saikang's illness has long been rumored in the capital, Saikang's violent death did not attract the attention of the government. The purpose of the work was privately invited by the Sai family, just to let the family find out the truth of the matter. It can also be said that she wants to figure it out.

That's why he did an autopsy in Saikang's room, and the whole process was very secretive.

It had been a while since the autopsy, and he returned to the side of the eldest lady and bowed his hands.

The eldest lady took a breath and asked in a slightly tired voice, "Have you got a result?" ”

"Ma'am, take a step to speak."

The eldest lady got up and walked to the other corner of the room with her husband, Qin Lan on the other side glanced at her secretly, and suddenly her body trembled even more, and the fear in her eyes was overwhelming.

"Madam, the death of Young Master Saikang is complex and caused by a variety of factors. The deceased's abdomen was severely subsided, which was the most striking feature of tuberculosis patients, and the bruising of the throat showed that he must have experienced a violent cough before death. Then, the eye sockets are sunken, and the Yin Tang is black in the middle, which looks like poisoning, but in fact it is excessive indulgence. Because the skin and flesh of the inner thighs are weak. Finally, the last straw that led to the death of the deceased should have been the faint bruise on the throat of the deceased. Someone must have choked the deceased's neck, causing a mouthful of blood in his throat to die without coughing it up. ”

"Is this a murder?" The eldest lady's voice immediately became cold, and she secretly glanced at Qin Lan in the corner.

He hurriedly corrected: "Madam, don't say that. The reason why I say that there are many reasons for the death of the deceased is that judging from the bruises on the neck of the deceased, that force cannot kill anyone. The bruise was faint, proving that the person who choked the deceased's neck did not use all his strength, and that the reason for the death was due to tuberculosis and excessive indulgence that the deceased was already extremely weak, and only in this case could a bruise of that strength be murderous. ”

The eldest lady nodded, not showing any emotion: "Okay, since the matter has been concluded, then there is Mr. Lao." The gentleman went to the account office to withdraw the money, and hoped that he would not spread the word. ”

"Madam, don't worry, I'm only responsible for the autopsy, not for speaking."

The eldest lady and the servant said this and walked to the door step by step, on the other side of the door was Qin Lan, seeing the eldest lady and the servant approaching her little by little, the nervousness and fear were even worse, and there was no trace of blood on her face, which was not much different from the dead corpse next to the bed.

The eldest lady glanced at her coldly: "Don't be nervous, you have already found out the cause of the young master's death." ”

Has the cause of death been identified?

Qin Lan was stunned for an instant, her blurry eyes as if she was about to faint.

"Kang'er died of tuberculosis, and her fate cannot be changed. You don't have to be too sad, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will live together in the future. ”

After listening to the second half of the sentence, Qin Lan came back in one breath, the blood on her face was there, and the pores of her whole body were bursting into a cold sweat, as if she had experienced a rebirth.

He walked to the door, glanced at Qin Lan out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh and walked straight out of the room.

After leaving, the eldest lady walked up to Qin Lan unhurriedly: "You seem to be very nervous?" ”

"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law don't ...... Not nervous? ”

"Really not nervous?" The eldest lady smiled, "That's right, you are my daughter-in-law, how can you strangle my son?" So why be nervous? ”

"Smack!"

The water cup Qin Lan was holding fell to the ground......
