Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ye Qingyu and Xu Jingnan.

"Mrs. Li doesn't have to be polite." Ye Qingyu held her arm, looked at her red eyes, haggard look, and then thought about her appearance of smiling Yan Yan three days ago, she couldn't help sighing, unable to sigh, and said with relief,

"Mourn."

"Hmm." Mrs. Li nodded with red eyes, "Thank you Madame and Lord Xu for being able to come, this has given our master a lot of dignity, and the concubine is grateful." ”

Master Li died suddenly, and he died in Hualou, which was a shame, and Mrs. Li had no face for him.

In this case, Xu Jingnan and Ye Qingyu were able to come over in person to offer incense and mourn, which gave Mrs. Li great support.

Ye Qingyu didn't know what to say, so he shook Mrs. Li's hand tightly, then looked at Li Siyue on the side, and said softly,

"Don't be too sad, don't mourn."

"Well, Sister Ye, Brother-in-law Xu, thank you for coming." Li Siyue also thanked them, and thanked Ye Qin's family again.

Ye Qingyu rubbed Li Ziheng's head again, "Ziheng has grown taller and grown up, your father is gone, you have to take good care of your mother in the future and support this family." ”

"Hmmm! I will! Li Ziheng's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily in a choked voice, which was distressing to be well-behaved and sensible.

"Didn't Ziqiu come back? Can you send a message? Ye Qingyu asked again.

"Send it, he should be able to rush back to give the old man a funeral." Mrs. Li said in a hoarse voice.

Ye Qingyu sighed, he asked everything he should ask, so he and Xu Jingnan walked to the mourning hall to put incense on Master Li.

After waiting for the incense, Ye Qingyu and they didn't stay long, and after a few words of relief, they left with Xu Jingnan and them.

-

Five days later, news came from the county government that Hua Niang had been found, but what was found was Hua Niang's body, and it had been dead for a long time.

After conducting an autopsy, it was said that Hua Niang died seven days ago, that is, the day Master Li died, and the way of death was strangulation.

"Is this someone specifically plotting to kill Master Li?" When Ye Qingyu heard the news of Hua Niang's death, he could only think of this possibility.

"Well, eighty percent." Xu Jingnan said, "You can start from the Li clan to investigate." ”

Ye Qingyu nodded when he heard this, Landlord Li's family has a lot of money, which makes people red, and it is not surprising that he will be killed.

And after the death of Master Li, there are only Mrs. Li and two sons who have not yet reached the weak crown in the Li Mansion, which can be said to be weak.

At this time, the Li family's clansmen can take advantage of the situation and seize part of the family property, so it is reasonable to suspect the Li family.

With a suspect, then if you investigate again, you will have a little direction, and it will be much easier to find some clues along the way.

A few days later, Master Li was buried.

Li Ziqiu finally rushed back from the capital, he worked hard all the way, and he added grief, and when Master Li was buried, he also fell ill, and he was seriously ill, unable to see guests, let alone take charge.

At this time, the Li clan also discussed, united together, and began to shamelessly force Mrs. Li to hand over most of the Li family's property, and Mei said that she would take care of Li Ziqiu and Li Ziheng on her behalf.

Because one of them is busy with the examination of people, and the other is still young, so he can't take care of things at all.

Facing this scene, Mrs. Li snorted coldly in her heart, she was not afraid at all, she wanted to bully their orphans and widows, but she wanted to see that they also had backers behind them.
