Chapter 88: Inquiry
After finishing speaking, Ye Wanming felt the coldness on the side.
"Of course, this is not a no-no. It's someone else's house, so it can't be like this. ”
After seeing that Forget Chen did not release the coldness again, Ye Wan was lucky, fortunately he changed his words quickly.
Yelan glanced at Yewan in disgust, as if to say: Brother Huang, you are so cowardly.
Ye Wan wanted to give her a punch at that time, what is called cowardice, he is reasonable.
Then they looked at this parchment scroll, which recorded some things about Yejiazhuang.
"Fifty years ago, Yejiazhuang gave birth to two baby girls, one named Ye Xi and the other Ye Xuan. The eldest daughter took charge of everything in the clan and took over as head of the family when she came of age. Eliminate evil and promote good, and evil is like hatred. He never kills innocents indiscriminately, and insists on doing good deeds, which is quite prestigious. The second daughter is talented, but she loves to play. Yejiazhuang was a sect that all martial arts practitioners wanted to join at that time, and even many merchants maintained transactions with Yejiazhuang. Thirty years ago, the five black-clothed men washed Yejiazhuang with their men's blood, and when the Ye family master came, it was already a sea of fire, so he killed himself in front of the sea of fire. But the second lady of Yejiazhuang escaped and is still missing. ”
Seeing that there is no such thing, although it is simple, it gives them an idea of the general situation.
Yelan seemed to think of something, and said thoughtfully:
"There were five men in black, and it looked like it was a premeditated massacre. Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed everyone that night while the head of the Ye family was not in Yejiazhuang. But what is this for, is it to kill people or to kill people to seize treasures? ”
Forget Chen raised his light-colored eyes and said lightly: "It's killing people and taking treasures." ”
There is no doubt in the tone, as if it were just stating a fact.
Yelan raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man who came to the conclusion with a smile. "How did Brother Forget the dust know?"
The boy turned around, his slender body covering the petite girl in front of him. Lowered eyes looked at her.
The voice explained steadily: "There are many treasures in Yejiazhuang, I heard the master say it. Yejiazhuang's weapons are on par with those of Hanshan Temple, so they are murderous and treasure grabbing. ”
After saying that, Yelan and Mo Yan both understood. But there is one exception.
Ye Wan couldn't help but interject, and Zhen Zhen retorted: "Then why can't it be a murder, in order to keep that secret, kill her whole family, this is also possible." ”
His eloquent statement seemed to say that my guess was correct. It was true, but he didn't use his brain.
After listening to Forget Chen's explanation, Yelan finally understood. But hearing Ye Wan's rebuttal, she only felt tired now.
didn't bother to explain to him, Yelan explained it to him personally.
"It was written that when the Ye family master arrived, there was no way to redeem it. If she kills people, will she sit back and be defenseless, she won't know which five bloody Yejiazhuang is. Besides, the Ye family master is as evil as an enemy, if he knows their secrets, will he not punish the evil and promote the good? So there is only one possibility left, killing people and grabbing treasures. Because of this treasure, it led to the demise of Yejiazhuang. ”
"Oh"
Ye Wan nodded as if he didn't understand, and seeing that what Ye Lan said made sense, he didn't hesitate to believe it.
Yelan shook her fan and smiled inexplicably. Youyou said: "But as for what treasure you have taken, you have to ask Old Man Xu." ”
After they went out, Mu Mian reported the matter to the Pavilion Master of the Afterlife Pavilion.
"Master, they've found the parchment. And he also roughly sorted out the events of the year, whether his subordinates should give them a little hint again. ”
The man nonchalantly banged on the tabletop.
"Click, click......"
The room was silent, and there was a hint of solemnity in the air.
The man was silent and didn't speak, and after being silent for so long, Mu Mian thought that he had said something wrong. He buried his head in the ground, not daring to lift it up for half a minute.
After a long time, the man's voice came from behind the screen. Lazy Road:
"No, they're smart enough to look it up themselves. If you give them a hint, it will cause them to be unnecessarily suspicious. ”
Mu Mian said respectfully: "Yes." ”
"Alright, I'm fine. Remember, don't send someone to spy on them. Got it? ”
In his voice, the threat of non-existence made Mu Mian rest his thoughts.
He saluted with both hands and said respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates will retire." ”
The man waved his hand, lay down in the chair nonchalantly, and said lazily, "Well, let's go down." ”
After speaking, Mu Mian left quietly.
After a long while, the man opened his eyes. His eyes looked at the roof without focus, and he muttered:
"When will there be a happy ending?"
Mo Yan hid in the shadows when they went out of the Death Pavilion. After Yelan and the others returned to Xu's mansion, Yewan proposed that he should go back to his room to rest for a while. They walked to the main hall to find out what happened to Xu Lao, but they didn't see anyone. I only saw Xu Ran and Zhang Jinsheng there arranging the important things of getting married that day.
Xu Ran raised his head, looked at Ye Lanyan and said with a smile: "Forget your worries, sister, you are back." ”
Ye Wan looked around the hall and didn't see Old Man Xu. asked, "Miss Xu, where is Old Xu?" We have something to do with him, I don't know if we can tell you a thing or two. ”
Xu Ran put down the matter in his hand and said with a smile: "I know, otherwise I will take you there." ”
Ye Wan refused: "No, Miss Xu, you can find someone to take us there." ”
"Okay, then I'll let the little guy take you there."
After saying that, call a servant.
"You take Sister Forget Worry and they go to find your father."
After the little servant saluted, he turned to look at Yelan and said respectfully, "Yes, please come with me." ”
Walking on the trail, Yelan obviously felt that the little girl was a little nervous, and kept a distance of about five steps from them.
This made Yelan think about what the chief manager said, "Everyone must treat each other with courtesy, without the slightest slackness." ”
When he arrived at the tea room in the Silent Pavilion, Xu Lao sat there and slowly tasted tea. The little guy turned around and said, "A few people have arrived, so I'll retreat first." ”
Yelan smiled: "Thank you." ”
After Yelan clearly saw that after she finished speaking, of course, the little guy's body shook twice, and it seemed that he was not lightly afraid.
Yelan didn't tease him, and said the three words he wanted to hear the most.
"Stand down."
"Yes."
In a blink of an eye, there was no one, and Yelan sighed when he saw it: "This is running so fast, I don't know how Xu Fu trained it." ”
Forget Chen glanced at her and said indifferently: "Serious business." ”
The corners of Yelan's mouth hooked the cynical arc, and said in a low voice, "I know." ”
Xu Lao raised his head and saw Yelan and them. smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with Xiaoyou looking for me?" ”
Yelan sat down unceremoniously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't Old Xu talking nonsense, what am I looking for you if it's okay?" ”
Xu Zhensheng: ......
Can't you be tactful!
With a smile still on his face, he said, "Then I wonder what Xiaoyou is looking for me?" ”
As a good and competent housekeeper, the tea had already been poured the moment Yelan and them sat down. Later, when he heard that they had something to discuss, he quietly withdrew.
Yelan tasted the tea and said with a smile: "We came to ask about Yejiazhuang." ”
Yelan pretended to drink tea, staring at him carefully, not letting go of the slightest expression on his face.
Sure enough, when he heard the three words of Yejiazhuang, his pupils shrank. It seemed that he was afraid of something, but after all, he was the head of the Xu Mansion, and he quickly covered up this emotion.
Holding the teacup in his hand, he trembled slightly, and said calmly: "Ye Jiazhuang, of course I know." It's the one who was washed in blood thirty years ago. No one survived, why did Xiaoyou want to ask this? ”
There was a subtle tremor in the voice that was hard to hear.
Ye Lan squinted his eyes and flashed a glimmer of light, but what Xu Lao didn't know was that he saw all this Ye Lan in his eyes.
