"What, dead? And what is the recurrence of an old disease? ”

The news of Pei Youdao's death reached Cheng Yanjin as soon as possible, Cheng Yanjin pouted lightly, the old disease recurred, what about the ghost, how could there be such a coincidence?

"Yes, sir." Cheng Xiaohu replied respectfully: "When Pei Youdao died, he was just in time for his two sons to visit the prison cell, the wine and food were all on the table, and before he drank two glasses, Pei Youdao covered his chest with his hands and fell to the ground, and the prison doctor in the cell confirmed that he was undoubtedly dead. ”

"And," after speaking, Cheng Xiaohu added: "According to investigation, this Pei Youdao really had chest pain when he was in Taiyuan before, but he has always been fine, so he didn't pay too much attention." ”

Cheng Biting Jin snorted lightly: "It was okay before, why did it happen just when he was about to be released from prison?" There's got to be some ingenuity in that. ”

"Then you send someone to investigate for yourself to see if the person is really dead." As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yanjin raised his voice and instructed Cheng Xiaohu: "If you just pretend to be dead to escape responsibility, then lock up Pei Youdao and all his relatives for Lao Tzu, and that Cui Jing, you have to beat and beat well, a small servant of the ministry, really think that he is the king of heaven, and dare to interfere in anything?" ”

Cheng Xiaohu replied respectfully: "Yes, master." ”

"If Pei Youdao is really dead." Cheng Yanjin groaned slightly, and then said: "Then even if this matter is over on the bright side, there is no need for Cui Jing to blame it again." But you have to quietly go and find out all the details of Pei Youdao's diet during this time, what he has eaten every day, who sent him there, if you find anything, come and report to me directly! ”

Cheng Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Cheng Yanjin: "Master, do you mean, that Pei Youdao may have been drugged to death by others?" It's unlikely, how could he have so much courage? ”

The others that Cheng Xiaohu said in his mouth, although they did not name them, but they all understood who it was, so Cheng Xiaohu felt a little surprised, it was just a teenage child, and he was a squishy loser, in the eyes of outsiders, he was almost useless except for a loser, how could such a person think about murdering others?

"It's hard to say yes or no, you go check first. If this thing is really done by that kid, the old man really has to look down on him, happy to revenge, revenge, if there is no exact handle to be discovered, the old man is the master of this matter, and he will reveal it for him! ”

Saying that, Cheng Biting Jin turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xiaohu, "If you find anything in the process of investigating, you can know it yourself, clean up the little tails he left behind, and don't let others find them again." ”

"Yes, sir."

understood what Cheng bit Jin, Cheng Xiaohu gladly agreed, and then bent down to retire.

Cui Mansion, Hall.

Cui Jingzheng, the servant of the ministry, sat at the head of the hall with a gloomy face, and sat his only son Jianchen and daughter-in-law Pei Yan'er, among whom Pei Yan'er was dressed in white plain, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was lying on Cui Jianchen's arm crying so much that Ai Ai was not miserable, which made Cui Jing's already gloomy face even more gloomy, and he almost dripped water.

"Cry, cry, cry! I know to cry all day long! Cui Jing slapped on the table, directly interrupting Pei Yan'er's crying: "Can anyone tell me what is going on, why did the in-laws who were about to come out suddenly die in prison, and his two sons also happened to stay inside when they died?!" ”

"Daddy!" Seeing that Cui Jing seemed to be deliberately targeting Pei Yan'er, Cui Jianchen interjected: "No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but my father-in-law already has a heartache, and he has been on death row for so long, and his body and bones will inevitably be a little weak, which causes old illnesses to be treated, all of which are reasonable, and the criminal department's work has also made a conclusion that he has a serious heart disease and a normal death, I don't know what you are still suspecting now?" ”

"Humph!" Cui Jing snorted coldly and glared at his son with some dissatisfaction.

A large amount of money was spilled out, and most of the favors accumulated in the past were used, but the person died in the cell when the first results were about to be achieved, which is too much of a coincidence. Cui Jing can not care about Pei Youdao's life or death, but he can't care less about the favors and savings he used, Pei Youdao will die if he dies, but who should he find to compensate for these losses in the future?

"Don't blame my father-in-law for being suspicious," Pei Yan'er said in a low voice: "In fact, I also think that my father's death is too strange, although my father had chest pain in the past, but it was not serious, every time he had an attack, the doctor only prescribed a few doses of medicine and drank it, how could he die because of this problem now?" ”

"But at that time, when my father was sick, the eldest brother and the second brother rushed to visit the prison, and brought some wine and food to my father, and they all saw the whole process from the onset of the illness to the death of my father, and there was no possibility of persecution by others, even if Yan'er was unwilling, she had to believe the fact that her father had passed away."

Pei Yan'er knew what her father-in-law was suspicious of, but it was absolutely impossible, although her two younger brothers were a little more thoughtful and heavy-minded, but their filial piety to their father was not adulterated at all, and they would not murder their biological father because they didn't want to spend more money.

Although the matter is indeed a coincidence, since the criminal department has already reached a conclusion, her father can only die of a normal illness now, and there is no other reason for it.

"Since that's the case, then the old man won't say anything more." Hearing what Pei Yan'er meant, Cui Jing stopped holding on to it, and said lightly: "Anyway, the old man has done his best, and the Criminal Department will release him in three days." If you want to blame, you can only blame the family for being poor, and you can't wait for even three days. ”

Pei Yan'er said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, no matter whether my father has passed away or not, everything my father-in-law has done for my Pei family will be remembered by the Pei family, and once my father's mourning period is over, the ancestral jade of the Pei family will be personally presented by my eldest brother to my father-in-law's case." ”

Hearing this, Cui Jing's face turned a little pale, nodded lightly and didn't say more, as long as the original agreement was still counted, he didn't care much about how Pei Youdao died.

"Dad, if it's okay, Yan'er and I will retire first, Yan'er still has to guard the spirit of her father-in-law, and there are a lot of chores waiting for the children to take care of."

Cui Jianchen didn't like this kind of conversation between his father and his daughter-in-law, it was originally a mutual help between relatives, but now it was like doing business, which was very boring, so he made an excuse and pulled Pei Yan'er out of the living room.
