Chapter 294: The Tang Family's Suspicions
On the way to the backyard, Di Renjie asked the housekeeper Tang Lu: "Butler Tang, remember the last time I went to the house to disturb, there was a 'picture of autumn river and rain' on the shadow wall of this front hall, why is it missing now?" ”
The housekeeper Tang Lu said: "Back to my lord, this 'Autumn River Muyu Picture' is a painting that my lord cherishes very much, and the master once said when he was alive that if he drove the crane west one day, let the villain definitely burn this painting to him!" ”
"Oh, I see!" Di Renjie nodded and said suddenly!
Di Renjie and the three of them were still arranged to the room where they lived before, and after the arrangement, the housekeeper Tang Lu said respectfully: "My lord, my lord's future is not finished, please forgive the villain for not being able to accompany him, if the adult has any needs, just order the next person directly!" ”
Di Renjie smiled and returned the salute: "Steward Tang doesn't need to be polite, we just do it!" If there is a need for this pavilion in the house, please don't be polite to Steward Tang! ”
The housekeeper Tang Lu retreated, Di Renjie looked at Tang Lu's distant back, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that Di Renjie seemed to have noticed something!
After a while, until the back of the housekeeper Tang Lu completely disappeared, Li Yuanfang opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, have you found anything?" ”
Di Renjie still looked ahead, twisted his hair and said, "It seems that this Tang Zhuang master died a little strangely?" Maybe this Xilin Villa is not as simple as it seems! ”
Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, why do you say that?" Is there any basis for this? ”
Di Renjie said slowly: "Don't you think that this Tang Zhuang master died at a very bad time? This Tang Yinran just went to buy a few pieces of land, why was he hacked to death with a knife? What kind of hatred does this have to be? Also, the painting hanging in the front hall of the villa, generally speaking, if it is a thing that the owner loved deeply during his lifetime, it is generally buried with the coffin, but this Tang Yinran asked his subordinates to burn this painting to him along with the yellow paper of the dark money, which is really puzzling! ”
Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "What's wrong with this Xilin Villa?" The young owner and the owner's wife were taken away, and now the old owner died unexpectedly and tragically, could it be that this Xilin Villa suffered some curse? ”
Di Renjie's face sank, and he said solemnly: "This pavilion has never believed in any strange forces and gods, how can there be any curse,
All such things are nothing but curses for the people! ”
Li Yuanfang hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord's forgiveness, it's a misrepresentation!" ”
Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Yuan Fang doesn't have to mind, this pavilion is not reprimanding you, it's just disdainful of this kind of ghost and god theory!" ”
Xiao Ying thought for a while and said, "Elder Ge, in that case, the bloody case in Hexi Village should have nothing to do with Xilin Villa, right?" This Tang Yinran died unexpectedly, and everyone in the Hefu is busy dealing with the aftermath of the owner, so they shouldn't have the energy to go to Hexi Village to create a bloody case, right? ”
Li Yuanfang interjected: "Can they hire someone to commit murder? You don't have to be from Xilin Villa? ”
Xiao Ying shook her head slightly and said, "I don't think so!" ”
Di Renjie couldn't help but look at Xiao Ying, and asked curiously, "Xiao Ying, tell me your opinion!" ”
Xiao Ying paused and said: "Ge Lao, first of all, I will come to see the death of the owner of the village, Tang Yinran, there are only two situations, the first is that Tang Yinran is really miserable, and the second is that Tang Yinran cheated to death, if it is the first type, there is such a big thing in the house, and there is no time to take care of the young owner, let alone the bloody Hexi Village, then if it is the second type, the owner Tang Yinran deceived to death, then if Xilin Villa is really the murderer of the bloody Hexi Village, it must be under the instructions of the owner Tang Yinran, then let's think about it, Tang Yinran, the owner of the village who gave this order, why did he cheat to death? Is it to disassociate the relationship? If it's just to clear up the relationship, then there are many ways to work, why did he choose the stupidest way? So then again, if there was no instruction from the owner Tang Yinran, how would Xilin Villa dare to go to Hexi Village in blood? Therefore, I speculate that if this Tang Yinran is a fraudulent death, then it should have little to do with the bloody case in Hexi Village, but it has another deep meaning! ”
Li Yuanfang was puzzled: "Another deep meaning? So what does this mean? ”
Xiao Ying glanced at Li Yuanfang and said indignantly: "I want to know what the deep meaning is, then won't all these problems be solved?" ”
Di Renjie's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Yuan Fang, Xiao Ying, do you remember that Zhao Ada, who said that he saw someone come to Tang Gongzi that night, and the two of them broke up unhappily, and two days later, Hexi Village was baptized in blood, and Tang Gongzi and Haitang were also taken away?" ”
Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying were slightly stunned, and said in unison: "Remember!" ”
Di Renjie nodded slightly, and said with a twisted hair: "Xiao Ying's analysis just now reminded me that there are two possibilities about the bloody case in Hexi Village, the first person who came to find Tang Gongzi may have known some kind of conspiracy about Tang Gongzi and Haitang in advance, so he rushed to remind him, but Tang Gongzi did not believe it, not only did he not believe it but left angrily, then the second situation is that this person came to find Tang Gongzi and threatened Tang Gongzi, but Tang Gongzi did not compromise, and then there was a bloody tragedy in Hexi Village!" ”
After listening to Di Renjie's words, Li Yuanfang was stunned and said, "My lord, what you said are two completely opposite situations?" However, the lowly position is more inclined to the second type! ”
"Oh? Why? Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and asked!
Li Yuanfang walked up to Di Renjie and said: "My lord, I think that this Tang Gongzi has always been polite, and he must treat people with courtesy, if that person kindly reminds Tang Gongzi that he is in danger, then even if Tang Gongzi doesn't believe it, he will definitely not leave with his sleeves, what can make Tang Gongzi so angry should be the other party's verbal threat!" ”
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Now we are just guessing out of thin air, so let's do it, Yuan Fang, you first go to the place where the Tang Zhuang master had an accident to see if there are any finds, and the situation of the squire who committed the murder must be investigated in detail, the more detailed the better!" ”
"Yes! Don't worry, my lord, let's go! After speaking, Li Yuanfang said goodbye to Di Renjie!
Xiao Ying looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Elder Ge, what should we do next?" ”
Di Renjie said: "Let's wait and see what happens in this Xilin Villa, and wait for Yuan Fang to come back!" ”
At night, the entire Xilin Villa fell into a dead silence, and in the mourning hall in the front yard, there were subordinates in the village who were guarding the spirit of the owner Tang Yinran, and everyone else went to rest!
Xiao Ying blew out the oil lamp and was just about to lie down, when suddenly, a terrible woman's scream pierced the quiet night sky!
"Ahh Hell! ”
Xiao Ying hurriedly got dressed, drew her knife, and rushed in the direction where the cry came from!
Following the voice, Xiao Ying came to the front of Mingyue Tower, and a maidservant girl was slumping to the ground, convulsing all over!
