After Shen Jinglun's suggestion, Yuan Peng immediately reacted. If there are no traces of torture on the bodies of He Daxu and others, it means that they were simply killed. Otherwise, it means that someone is secretly investigating them.

Yuan Peng wanted to bow and retreat, and then go to the yamen to investigate, but he heard Shen Jinglun say again: "The murderer cut their throats with a knife, and then stabbed them dozens of times, and it is likely that he has a personal vendetta with them." ”

Yuan Peng agrees with Shen Jinglun's analysis, but He Daxu, Luo Lijun and others don't seem to know each other on the surface, who has a personal enmity with them? He didn't dare to make a judgment in front of Shen Jinglun, and only said that he would go to the yamen to investigate the situation again.

Shen Jinglun nodded, his eyes did not leave the acacia tree outside the window, and the eyes of He Huan staring at him appeared in his mind. Her appearance was not at all similar to Lin Xiyan, but their eyes were equally bright and clear. At that moment, he could barely tell who he was looking at.

After a while, Yuan Peng hurriedly turned back to Shen Jinglun and said hurriedly, "Uncle, I just heard that Mrs. He San went to the yamen and asked Master Lu to hunt down the fugitive slaves for her, and then insisted that Xiao Zhutou framed them. Miss He also seems to be involved. Seeing that the master frowned, he hurriedly added: "Maybe the rumor is wrong...... Miss He has never had any contact with the third master's family. ”

Shen Jinglun lowered his head and groaned, and suddenly shook his head and sighed as if he suddenly realized. After thinking for a moment, he said to Yuan Peng: "You are looking for someone to pay attention to the situation in the yamen, and if you have any news, you will report back to me immediately." In addition, I won't go to the Green Pine Temple today, Miss He drew a sketch of the Green Pine View for me before, you go home to the daylily to get it, and go to the Green Pine Temple in person. As for the corpses of He Daxu and others. Wait for the matter of the third master of the He family to be decided, and then investigate secretly. ”

Yuan Peng was secretly surprised by He Huan's influence on Shen Jinglun. Commanded to retreat.

Quiet courtyard. Shen Jinglun stood in front of the window, his expression and demeanor were as usual, but there was a little more helplessness in his eyes, and there was a trace of hesitation in the helplessness, as if he was very uncertain, and what he decided was right or wrong.

On the other hand, although Xie San hit a soft nail at Lin Zhu's head earlier, the death of He Daxu and others was very important. He decided to personally ask Lin Zhutou about the case. When he walked near the county office, he saw that the yamen was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. From everyone's interesting discussions, it can be seen that it was He Bohai's wife Zou who was crying in the court and asked Lord Lu to arrest the fugitive slave Shui Ting for the He family. The couple was staging a farce in the court, which gave Master Lu a headache and blamed Xiao for not doing things well.

Xie San quietly withdrew from the crowd, and suddenly heard others talking, saying that when Xiao Zhutou went to He's house to get people, He Huan was also at the scene. Xie San stopped, and intuitively felt that there must be something wrong with this matter. So he decided to temporarily divert to the He family.

At the gate of He's house, He Huan hurriedly walked inside. She didn't go to the yamen. It's all because she has to rush back and tell the Cao family to let her publicize the matter of He Baihai's outer room, and it is best to make it known to everyone, and turn a drama of arresting anti-thieves into a bloody farce.

He Huan stepped into the second gate and faintly heard the sound of dispute. She followed the sound and left, and heard Cao Shi say: "I know that I think I have lost the face of the He family, but you don't want to think about it, is it you and me who have the final say in everything?" ”

He Huan couldn't hear what Tao replied with a "whimper", only Cao Shi said again: "I don't believe it, you don't want to know what happened to Lu Dao three years ago, you don't want to invite a good gentleman to Jing'er, and you can have the opportunity to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future." ”

Tao replied again, but He Huan still didn't hear it. She was about to step forward and knock on the door, when she heard Cao's voice say: "In the past few days, I have figured it out, and everything in this world has a fixed number in the dark. Jing'er is my son, so I have to treat him well and think about his future......"

"Are you doing it for his future? Besides, Jing'er is not your son for a long time, he has already passed on to Dafang, which you personally promised. ”

Tao's words were clear and clear, and He Huan heard every word. She paused for a moment, and then heard Cao Shi say again: "Yes, yes, yes, he is your son, can this change the fact that I gave birth to him?" ”

"Don't think that you are great when you give birth to him. As the saying goes, it is better to be kind than to be ......"

"Auntie, Aunt Cao, what are you talking about?" He Huan pushed the door and entered, only to see Cao sitting on the chair at the table, and Tao standing diagonally opposite her, his eyes were red and his face was stained with tears.

When Cao saw He Huan, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss, Qian Xiucai's side, Uncle Zhang and I have done it." I think he wouldn't say anything even if it was for himself. Bai Shao burned all the scrolls I had brought back earlier, and I disposed of the ashes without leaving a trace. ”

He Huan smiled at Cao and said, "Thank you." Cao Shi also smiled and asked again, "How is the third master?" Did he find out that we didn't invite the eldest uncle and the second uncle to come over at all? ”

"There's probably some trouble on his side. In the future, if someone from the yamen asks......"

"Why did you mess with the people of the Yamen again?" Dow interjected, frowning and looking displeased.

He Huan glanced at her and continued: "If the people from the yamen ask, everyone will say that the third uncle and the third aunt came to visit their aunt and grandmother in the morning, and then his family came to report that his outer room Shui Ting ran away with the silver, and they left in a hurry. ”

"That Shui Ting, is he really gone?" Cao's face was full of interest, "I'll just say, it's an outer room, it's wrong." ”

"It's not the outer room." He Huan turned around and closed the door, and said to Tao Zhengse: "Auntie, today's matter is not simple, if it is not done well, the whole He family will be exiled, and even killed......

"You don't have to be alarmist." Dow didn't believe what He Huan said.

He Huan didn't refute, just stated the facts plainly: "He Daxu was killed, and before that, Feng Jiyang was already dead, and the black scarf man also died. Now, when the yamen wants to close the case, what is missing? The murderer of He Daxu, and the silver that He Daxu defrauded from his aunt three years ago. Everyone in Jizhou knows that the third uncle and his aunt are not in harmony, and the third uncle has made a lot of money in recent years. He is the most suitable person, and Shui Ting lurks around him, waiting for today. ”

Tao still didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "Don't think that I don't understand anything when I'm at home all day." Feng Jiyang and He Daxu set up such a big trap, just to deceive your aunt and grandmother for so much money? Shui Ting has been with your third uncle for a few years, could she have calculated it at that time? She's not a fairy! ”

Hearing this, He Huan was slightly stunned. She believed her speculation was correct, but Dow was right. Feng Jiyang, He Daxu and others spent a lot of time, just for the He family to have such a little money, it was not worth it. Shui Ting is too, lurking for so many years, just to frame He Baihai?

He Huan paced in the room with his head down. What did she miss?

Cao's gaze followed He Huan back and forth. After a while, she stood up and said arrogantly: "I don't know what you're talking about, so let's do it, now, I will do what you say, I can't figure out these things." ”

He Huan pursed his lips to look at her. She believed that Cao was telling the truth, but her attitude changed so quickly that she had to think about why.

Cao's "hehe" smiled and said: "I still said the same words to the eldest lady just now, although Jing'er has been passed on to the big house, but in the end, I was born, and I am the only male in the family, and I still count on him to support me for the elderly." Speaking of this, she bowed her head again and said, "Besides, I don't want to be thundered by the sky yet...... I mean, I've been living at home for ten years, and now it's right to do something for my family, otherwise I'll be punished by God. ”

He Huan always felt that Cao's words had something to say, but the matter of He Baihai and Shui Ting was imminent, she could only press her doubts and tell Cao to go to the teahouse everywhere to talk about the romance of Shui Ting and He Baihai, only one purpose, how fragrant it is, just say how fragrant it is, how bloody it is, just say how bloody it is, even if the statements in each teahouse are different, it doesn't matter, it's enough if someone is willing to listen.

He Huan originally wanted Aunt Zhang and Bai Shao to spread gossip together, but thinking of the temperament of the two, she could only give up and said to the Cao family: "Aunt Cao, the third uncle is already in the yamen, the matter is urgent, I can only ask you to do your best." ”

"Don't worry, snakes have snake nests, rats have rat holes, although there is no one in my mother's house, my little sister is still there. What you just said doesn't need me to come forward at all, it must have spread all over the city within two hours, and everyone in the custodian believed that the outer room of the third master not only ran away with the wild man, but also abducted his silver, causing the Zou family to go to court and want to reconcile with him. ”

In Dow's disapproving gaze, Cao hurriedly left. He Huan sat down at the table and said word by word: "Auntie, you may not believe my speculation, but I still have to say that the eldest uncle died of illness on the surface, but he was actually killed......

"It was your aunt who killed her own son, you said it a long time ago."

"It's not." He Huan shook his head solemnly, "Grandma's ignorance and greed have harmed the whole family, but she is the same as the eldest uncle and the third uncle. ”

Tao sneered: "Don't you want to tell me that even your father did not die at the hands of pirates, he was killed by a conspiracy. ”

He Huan naturally heard the sarcasm in Tao's tone. She didn't care, she just said seriously: "I don't know about what happened ten years ago, but three years ago, I suspected that there was no such thing as a pirate at all. Those ships didn't even go to sea. ”

Tao looked at He Huan in a daze, only to see that there was no joke in her eyes, let alone perfunctory. She couldn't help but think of her husband's strange words and deeds on his deathbed.

"What do you want me to do!" Dow's voice was soft. She still had reservations about He Huan's words, but she had doubts in her heart.

He Huan said with a smile: "I know that there are many things that my aunt doesn't bother to do, I won't embarrass you, I just hope that you can take good care of Brother Jing and Grandma these days." ”

Tao turned his head and said, "I don't need you to say it, I will take good care of Jing'er, and as for your aunt, I will never miss her three meals a day." ”

"That's good." He Huan nodded. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bai Shao running in a hurry, panting and telling her that Xie San was outside the door. (To be continued......)
