Chapter 242: Fox Incense (9)
Chen Yuang's death was determined to be an accident, but the lively beauty shop fell silent because of this sudden accident. No one doubted Chen Yuang's death, and no one suspected that his death was related to the girl in the beauty shop.
It is strange to say that although this Chen Yuang is a newly promoted wealthy businessman in Luoyang City, he does not have any substantial industry under his name. He likes to be nostalgic for Fengyue places, but he doesn't even have a concubine at home. When Liu Sheng knocked on the door of the Chen family with the catcher, he found that the Chen family did not even have a decent servant except for an old man who was guarding the door.
"Has Chen Yuang always been so frugal?"
Lin Hu asked, privately feeling that it was rare for a wealthy businessman to be as low-key as Chen Yuang.
The old man who guarded the gate was also surnamed Chen, and was said to be a distant relative of Chen, but he didn't seem to like Chen Yuang himself.
"He is not thrifty, he is afraid, afraid that others will peep into his secrets, covet his wealth, and even take his life."
"What do you mean by that, old man?" Lin Hu leaned over: "I understand that you covet his wealth, and I understand that someone wants his life." But what do you mean by the constant fear of others peeking into his secrets? Could it be that there is something unsightly about this Chen Yu Angzang? ”
"Hmph, he has seen a lot of unpleasant things." The janitor snorted coldly.
"Old man, tell me about it." Lin Hu handed over a wine jug.
The old man was not polite, took the wine jug and poured two sips directly: "You want to know?" ”
"If you can say it, you can always tell it. Our clothes, you have seen it all the time, belong to the official family. Let's come to investigate this Chen Yuang's matter. Unexpectedly, such a rich man turned out to be a lonely man. ”
"This is his retribution, and people like him deserve to die outside." The old man snorted lightly: "Have you heard of the red rope case?" ”
The red rope case, Lin Hu and Liu Sheng have naturally heard of it.
About 10 years ago, the government received a secret report that Yu Chengwan, a wealthy local businessman, had taken advantage of the opportunity to travel from the south to the north to communicate with the enemy, and that his huge family fortune was obtained by selling intelligence. Coincidentally, another war broke out at the border pass, and the Tang army was defeated by the Turks, and the person who reported it specially pointed out that the reason why the Tang army was defeated was that Yu Chengwan found out about our military deployment and drew a map of it and handed it over to the Turks.
At that time, the empress was still in charge of the world, and for such a thing, she would naturally rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one. Yu Chengwan was arrested and imprisoned, dozens of members of Yu's family were beheaded, and even more than 100 people were executed.
Because when Cheng Wan died, he held a red rope in his hand, and when it was passed on to the people, he had the name of the red rope case.
"The secret report is this Chen Yuang, and Master Yu was wronged."
"This collaborator and traitor is a big crime, how do you know that Yu Chengwan was wronged."
"If your parents and brothers were killed by the Turks, would you sell information to the Turks?" The old man asked rhetorically, with a hint of coolness in his eyes: "If it is said that Master Yu collaborated with other countries, I may still believe it, but I will never believe it when I say that he collaborated with the Turks." This court is also confused, and before the killing, it didn't even ask a word. They knew that Master Yu was from the border city, and his parents and brothers were all plundered by the Turks. On his back, he had a Turkic scar until his death, and his life was picked up from the Turkic knife. ”
"Perhaps it was because his life was picked up from the sword of the Turks that he was afraid in his heart, so he had the heart of collaborating with the enemy."
"You fart!" The old man spat at Lin Hu: "Master Yu is anti-enemy." He is well aware of the suffering of the border generals, and every year he will transport grain and grass and medicines. These people are unknown to the people in the capital, unknown to the people in the imperial city, and known to everyone at the border. This Chen Yuang is a small man named Huazi who was picked up by Master Yu from the border. Master Yu regarded him as his own son, but he was wolf-hearted, greedy for the family property, and conspired with others to report the secret, killing Master Yu and those innocent people. ”
"The old man knows the inside story very well, and he is also a member of the Yu family."
"Yes!" The old man threw away the wine jug in his hand: "I am a member of the Yu family, and in the words of your government, I am a remnant." Take me back to the yamen. ”
"But your surname is always Chen."
"What about the surname Chen? Can't the surname Chen be the remnant of the Yu family? The old man smiled mockingly: "I was originally a buddy of the Yu family, and because I was good at training horses, I was recommended by the master to be a soldier raising horses in the barracks. When Master Yu picked up the little Hanako, he was very sick. After he recovered from his illness, he forgot what his surname was and what his name was. At that time, I happened to be there, and the master asked me to recognize the bastard, and let the bastard follow my surname Chen.
Just because my surname is Chen, because I am in the army, I escaped. Over the years, I have been secretly inquiring, wanting to help the Yu family overturn the case and avenge Master Yu, but nothing has been done. After all, I'm just a good horse breeder. ”
Lin Hu and Liu Sheng looked at the old man silently, and finally left without saying anything or doing anything.
Yu An came to the rouge shop again. In front of Xing Ruyi, she placed the snow cream on the table.
"Thank you shopkeeper, Yu An doesn't need this thing."
"Chen Yuang is dead." Xing Ruyi sat still and did not move.
"Yes, he's dead." Yu An also sat still and did not move.
"The government said he died in an accident."
"No, he was murdered." Yu An raised her eyelashes.
"Who murdered him?"
"Me!"
"You?"
"Do you want to hear a story?"
"It's fine." Xing Ruyi asked the magpie to bring a pot of new tea: "I like to listen to stories." ”
"Story, no heart. A wealthy businessman rescued a young girl while passing through the border gate. Because of her gratitude, the girl stayed with the rich merchant. After a long time, the two developed feelings. The girl gave birth to two daughters for a wealthy merchant, and the wealthy merchant bought a courtyard for the girl outside. Their relationship, no one knows. ”
"If the two are happy, why can't they be known."
"Because the girl is a slave of sin, a slave of sin who was sent by the court to the border and stuffed into the barracks. In the eyes of the girl, the rich businessman is a hero and a chivalrous man, and she can't bear to affect the rich businessman because of her identity. Besides, the rich merchant has another family in the city, and his wife is not a tolerant character. The girl felt that it was already good at the moment.
Later, the wealthy businessman was secretly reported, and the whole family was thrown into prison. When the girl learns of the situation, she sells everything she can, hoping to save him. As a result, all the money was cheated by a person named Chen Yuang. He not only cheated the girl out of her money, but also out of her people. When the girl learns that the person who deceived her is the one who secretly reported the rich businessman, she goes crazy. On a thunderstormy night, a crazy girl drags her two daughters into a mass grave to find the bones of a wealthy merchant and his family. That night, the girl died, and her two daughters, who spent the night in a mass grave, walked out holding hands with each other.
They have gone from being young ladies with no worries about food and clothing to little beggars who are covered in dirt. No one knew that they were also surnamed Yu, the daughters of the rich merchant who had been beheaded for collaborating with the enemy. Later, they were deceived into the flower building and became the best girls in the flower building. ”
"At this time, their enemies appeared."
"Nope! It's not that it appears, it's that they deliberately designed it. Yu An smiled lightly: "Fortunately, that enemy was fooled." ”
"How did he die?"
"Poisoning, a very strong poison that is colorless and odorless."
"Can't check it out?"
"I guess it can't be detected." Yu An stood up: "Because that kind of poison is not in a certain thing, but requires careful planning to be effective." ”
"What will happen to the sisters?"
"It should be the same as before, continue to make a living in the flower building."
"Actually, they could have had a better choice." Xing Ruyi pushed the snow cream back to Yu An: "They should have the ability to redeem themselves, even if they can't meet a good match in the future and can't find a suitable marriage, they should be able to spend the rest of their lives safely." ”
Yu An's eyes sank, and he put away the snow cream.
"I'm sorry, Yu An lied to the shopkeeper before."
"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."
"Yu An has one more thing, I don't know if the shopkeeper can help."
"Please."
"I heard that the shopkeeper is good at ghosts and gods, I thought...... I want to find the bones of my mom and dad and my family. My mother is a very timid person, and she must have been extremely scared to leave her in that place. ”
"I'll try, but it won't work." Xing Ruyi wanted to refuse, but seeing Yu An's earnest eyes, her heart softened.
"Yu Anduo, thank you for the shopkeeper." Yu An knelt down and saluted: "Yu An listens to the shopkeeper's arrangement." ”
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow should be a good day." Xing Ruyi glanced at the sky.
The sky was dark, just like her mood after becoming a mother. She was eager to find something exciting to do, and a trip to a mass grave might be a good choice.
"Don't go!" Before Yu An left, the fox came out and circled her from behind: "You are weak and not suitable to go to such a place." ”
"But I've already agreed."
"If you agree, you can go back."
"I'll be fine with you." Xing Ruyi turned around and held the fox's face: "Actually, I agreed to another person, not just Yu An's request." ”
"You've always been like that." The fox sighed helplessly: "I am a mother, and I don't have the slightest appearance of being a mother." ”
"Didn't you already know this?" Xing Ruyi was tired of being in the fox's arms: "You forgot, we also have an eldest son." Speaking of Yin Yuan, I don't know if he has returned to Qingqiu now. You say, will the father and mother be happy when they see the portraits of Yin Qi and Yin Li? ”
"Portrait? Do you really think that such a thing can be called a portrait? The fox stretched out his hand, and two graffiti-like portraits hung in midair.
Yes, it is indeed a portrait of a baby, but the scribbling of the portrait, the wilderness of the composition, and the disorganization of the pen have reached the point where the earth is shocking, crying ghosts and gods, and making people who know how to paint unbearable.
Xing Ruyi coughed awkwardly, and said in a tired voice: "Don't laugh at people, I've done my best." Also, don't you think I drew the essence of our children? ”
The face of the fox, pumped!
