Yan Suwen heard a creepy story, when she followed Gu Changfeng to leave Nanyang and return to Yecheng.

This story was told to her by the lady who sold cakes she met when she entered the city.

At that time, she passed by the eldest lady's cake stall in a carriage, and habitually waved goodbye to the eldest mother, but the eldest mother stopped the carriage and then told a story related to Mei'er.

"I also remembered it suddenly." The eldest lady handed a piece of cake to Yan Suwen: "I have seen this Mei'er girl who died in prison before, I think the face is familiar, but I can't remember it, until the past few days, I heard from the people who came to buy cakes from me that this Mei'er girl and the first lady married by Nanyang Hou are sisters, and they also said that they were originally our Nanyang locals, but they didn't live in Nanyang City." Although my cake stall is not big, there are many people who come and go from the south to the north, and I have heard a lot about this matter, and I have some hearts, don't say it, girl, I really remember one thing, but I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Nanyang Hou and that Mei'er girl. ”

"Auntie, let's talk about it."

"It was years ago." The eldest lady straightened her hair: "If this Mei'er is the Mei'er they say, I've really seen it." Mei'er, the original name should be called Rumei, and there is a sister named Rulan above. Their father was a teacher, and he used to bring his two sisters to me to buy bread to eat. The two sisters are about three or four years apart, and they are both beautiful, but these two sisters are not the same beautiful. My sister is as her name suggests, she is really like an orchid, and she is different from the girls she sees on the street anyway. My sister has a cold and lonely temperament, but it really looks like a plum in winter, you can see it from a distance, but you always feel cold when you look at it closely. Their father was a kind man, and he was polite to everyone, as if he had a lot of courtesies. ”

"What happened to their family, do you know it, auntie?"

"You know, this incident was quite a big deal at the time." The eldest lady sighed: "Speaking of which, it's pitiful enough." ”

"Auntie, can you tell me more about it?"

"I heard that it was said that two students in the school were fighting, and these two students were known for their courage and ruthlessness, but both families had some backgrounds. The gentleman used to persuade him, but he didn't want to persuade him more, but the two students became more angry, so they joined forces and beat him up severely. Poor sir, who was already a weak scholar, was beaten by his own students in the school, and he was so angry and annoyed that he couldn't afford to get sick, and it didn't take long for him to go. Supposedly, this matter should be the responsibility of those two students. But somehow, after the death of Mr., a lawsuit was inexplicably caused, saying that the whole thing was provoked by Mr., and because of the injury to the two students, they demanded compensation. Pity the wife and two children of the teaching gentleman, this orphan and widow, who was bullied by others, how could he withstand the toss of this lawsuit. Mr. Teacher's wife also followed, and the family's house was sold, and even the two girls were nowhere to be found. I heard that it was also sold by the calculations of the two families. ”

"Nanyang Mansion doesn't care?"

"Since ancient times, the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. What are the conditions of Mr. Teaching's family, and what are the conditions of those two families, not to mention that Mr. Teaching is dead, even if he is still alive, he may not be able to go to the yamen to reason. ”

"And then?"

The incident went on for a while, but it soon subsided, and the two sisters were nowhere to be found. After another two years, the two families who wronged Mr. Teaching had an accident one after another. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Fire."

"Fire?"

"Yes, a strange fire. The yards of these two families are not small, but when the fire broke out, everyone in the family was locked in one room. When the fire was extinguished, people found that the doors and windows were all dead, and the people inside were burned alive. This is not the most frightening, the most frightening thing is that the official of the government found a series of footprints outside the door and window, and the footprints were black and small. Everyone said that when the two families were burned to death, one of them stood outside, watching the fire devour the living people, and listening to the screams inside. Girl, you say it's scary. ”

Yan Suwen felt a chill in his back, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards the carriage.

Gu Changfeng sat in the carriage, his brows slightly furrowed, but he didn't make any sound.

"Did the people from the government go to investigate?"

"It's been investigated, but what can be investigated, the big guys all said that this is Mr. Teaching's wife who has come back for revenge. The man's footprints were different from the woman's, and the teacher's lady was small, and her feet were small, much like the one left outside the window. ”

"Revenge? Sounds scary. ”

"Not really." The eldest lady clicked her mouth: "If you want me to say, this person can't do bad things." If you do too much of this, there will always be retribution. ”

Yan Suwen nodded, left some silver, and got into the carriage with an unspeakable heart.

"Yanqing, what do you think?" Zero Long Literature Network

"Let's go to Nanyang Mansion."

"Is it necessary?"

"Mrs. has some doubts in her heart, if she doesn't go on this trip, I'm afraid that if I return to Yecheng, Mrs. will not be sure in her heart."

"This case is already over, I'm worried, if other things are involved because of this matter, I'm afraid that things will get bigger and bigger."

"Does your husband seem to be a person who is afraid of making a big deal out of it?"

"Naturally not, I just feel unsure, and I always feel that there is something else hidden behind this matter." Yan Suwen sat down: "My reason tells me that this matter should end here, and we should return to Yecheng and continue to live our lives." But my emotions tell me that I should continue to investigate, because this matter is related to some doubts in my heart. ”

"Since you're here, let's figure it out." Gu Changfeng held Yan Suwen's hand, "Yunfei, go to Nanyang Mansion." ”

Gu Changfeng and Yan Su asked and returned, which really made Lord Hu in Nanyang Mansion nervous, and when he learned that they were here for the two old cases a few years ago, Lord Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"When that incident happened, the lowly post had not yet arrived in Nanyang Mansion, but the previous files were all read, so the two cases that the Xiangye asked about, the lowly post also knew something." Master Hu wiped the sweat on his head: "Let's talk about what happened in this school first." The two sides of this brawl, surnamed Qian, are among the richest families in Nanyang City. The family's surname is Liu, and his uncle works in the capital and is a Beijing official. These two, one is rich and the other is powerful, and they are both notoriously difficult in Nanyang City.

The cause of the matter is also simple, it is because of a pen. The little boy surnamed Qian lost a pen, and happened to find an identical, identical pen from the little boy surnamed Liu. So, the little boy surnamed Qian pointed to the little boy surnamed Liu and said that he was a thief and that he had stolen his pen. The little boy surnamed Liu is willing to admit this, not that the little boy surnamed Qian has taken a fancy to his pen, wants to slander others, and wants to take his pen for himself. The more the two of them talked, the more angry they became, and both of them had their own retinues in the academy, so they immediately got into a fight.

This teaching gentleman's surname is Wei, and his single name is a flat character, and when he sees the trouble in the school, he naturally has to come forward to dissuade him. But the little sons of these two families were willing to listen to a teacher and make a fuss, and they beat up this gentleman who persuaded him. During the struggle, the gentleman stumbled and hit the railing on the side, breaking his head. The children were frightened and all of a sudden dispersed.

According to insiders, this Mr. Wei has been lying on the ground for a long time, and after returning home, he will not be able to do it. Mr. Wei's wife found the Qian family and the Liu family when they learned what happened in the school, hoping that they could come up with a sum of money to see Mr. Wei, but they didn't want to be coaxed out by the two families.

Things got big somehow, and many people were privately accusing the Qian family and the Liu family. As soon as the Liu family summed up the money, they changed the whole thing. The words are terrifying, Mr. Wei's wife couldn't withstand such bullying and blows, and suddenly crashed to death on her own door. ”

"What about the two daughters of the Wei family?"

"Gone with someone."

"Gone with someone?"

"Here's the thing. In order to bury their parents, the two children learned to sell themselves, and then buried their parents with the silver they had exchanged. After that, there was no news of them. Although the government intervened in this matter, because there was no one to report to the official, it was difficult for the government to come forward. ”

"Rumors out there—"

"The rumors that Madame said are related to the two sisters of the Wei family, right? This humble position knows that it is said that the two daughters of the Wei family were calculated by the Qian family and the Liu family, but in fact, it is half and half. If there was no Qian family and the Liu family to force each other step by step, the Wei family would not be ruined. But since the death of Mr. Wei's wife, the Liu family can't hide from this money, let alone design to sell the two girls. ”

"But it all started because of the two of them."

"Yes, so does the lowly office. But the incident happened suddenly, and it evolved into the way it was later, but I am afraid that the three families did not expect it. It is said that after the Wei family's lady was killed, the Qian and Liu families wanted to take money to compensate, but the two daughters of the Wei family did not agree. Later, first the Liu family went to the water, and then followed the Qian family to catch fire, and these three families were gone. ”

"And what's the fire?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?"

"I really don't know this lowly position, because the whole thing seems too mysterious. Don't hide it from the prime minister and his wife, these two cases are still unsolved cases in our Nanyang Mansion. said that it was an unsolved case because the two families died too strangely, and it didn't look like they wanted to commit suicide, but because the murderer could not be caught, and no trace related to the murderer could be found for a long time, the case could only be shelved. No clue, no clue. ”
