Chapter 019: Ligustrum Longan Soup (4)

Fourteen years ago, Xiao Yanyan's father received the last dart in his life, from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Originally, Xiao Yanyan's father also used to take this route, and if it went well, he would be able to return it in more than a month, but he never thought that there would be an accident in the middle.

A few days after leaving Luoyang, it began to rain, and it was a few days at a time. The road was muddy, the road was not easy to walk, and the group was trapped in the mountains, so they could only temporarily find a cave to take shelter from the rain, and then continue on the road after the weather cleared.

For the first two days, it was quiet, but on the third night, Ah Cheng somehow moved his mind when he got up at night, wanting to see what was in the dart car.

This glance is doomed to tragedy in the future. The items stored in the dart cart were all items given to an official in Chang'an by the dart man, and they were worth a lot of money, if not priceless.

Only one thing can make this life worry-free. Ah Cheng's fate has been bumpy since he was a child, and he followed Master Xiao to darts, and his life passed for the time being, but seeing that he was in his early twenties, he couldn't even save the money of his daughter-in-law, and he inevitably had some thoughts in his heart.

Seeing that there were a lot of jewels in the dart car, he also moved the mind of domination. But after thinking about it, Ah Cheng still restrained himself.

He has been following Master Xiao since he was fourteen years old, and naturally he knows what Master Xiao is like, and he will definitely not allow himself to do this.

But just when Ah Cheng was about to put the dart box back in place and lie back to sleep, Master Xiao woke up.

In Ah Cheng's own words, he only quarreled with Master Xiao for a few words, and then somehow killed Master Xiao.

Killing one person is also killing, killing ten people is also killing, and then simply do not do two endlessly, kill all the accompanying dart masters, take advantage of the rainy night to bury in the mountains and forests, and then take away the treasures in the dart box several times, and after selling, dispose of the real estate in other places.

As for why he went back to find Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yanyan a year later, Ah Cheng's explanation was that he was a demon.

He said that he had no intention of killing Master Xiao at the beginning, and during this year, although he enjoyed all the wealth and glory, he was often uneasy in his heart.

So I want to take Mrs. Xiao and Yanyan over as my own relatives and take good care of them. Unexpectedly, he encountered a thunderstorm halfway through, and after nightfall, he resurrected his demons, and coveted Mrs. Xiao's beauty, so he did something wrong again.

sold Xiao Yanyan into Hualou because Xiao Yanyan witnessed the whole murder process, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't want to kill Xiao Yanyan again, so he temporarily decided to do so.

Over the years, although others are in other places, they are still paying attention to Xiao Yanyan's every move, seeing that she is becoming more and more beautiful, and she is becoming more and more similar to the dead Mrs. Xiao, so I want to take her as a concubine.

Ah Cheng's explanation to himself is that in his early years, he had killed Xiao Yanyan's parents because of his demons, and now he accepts her as a concubine, and he will treat her well, which can be regarded as atonement for his original behavior.

Of course, these are all wishful thinking on the part of Ah Cheng, and even this idea is a bit shameful. Ah Cheng was also weak-hearted, so he hired someone with silver money to pretend to contact Xiao Yanyan, and put forward the idea of taking her as a concubine.

And although Xiao Yanyan was already free at this time, she also fell into her own demons, and she agreed to that person's request in order to make Chang Tai break off her thoughts about herself.

Then, there is the strange wedding that the whole city has watched. When the sedan chair left Luoyang City, Xiao Yanyan suddenly regretted it, she realized that she liked Chang Tai, so she immediately stopped and discussed with the person whether she could return the marriage contract.

The man hesitated before he said that he was not the one who wanted Xiao Yanyan to be his concubine, and asked her to talk to Ah Cheng in person.

Seeing that she was deceived, Xiao Yanyan was already annoyed, and seeing that the person who wanted to take her as a concubine was actually the enemy of the past, how could Xiao Yanyan agree with her arrogance.

So, after arguing with Ah Cheng, he resolutely jumped into the Luo River. There is no need to talk about the rest of the matter.

After Yanniang's death, Chang Tai guarded her body for three days, buried her thickly, and wrote on the tombstone: "The tomb of his beloved wife Xiao Yanyan." "The payment is

After "Fu Changtai", the investigation began from the mysterious family members, and the investigation went all the way to the incognito Ah Cheng, and solved the fourteen-year mystery of the Xiao family.

"What about Ah Cheng?" Xing Ruyi listened to the whole ins and outs, and not only sighed for a while,

"Brother Chang, you shouldn't have killed him?"

"No, I will send him to the government, along with the evidence." Chang Tai shook his head lightly: "Although I really want to kill this villain, but I am in the official office, and I can't know the law and break the law." ”

"I understand, Brother Chang, you did the right thing." Xing Ruyi patted Chang Tai on the shoulder: "Actually, when Yan Niang was leaving, I had something to ask me to entrust to you." Yan Niang said that she has no blessing to be your wife in this life, and the next generation will definitely allow you to accompany you for a lifetime. Hearing this, Chang Tai burst into tears, he said: "There is no need for the next life, Yan Niang is my Chang Tai's wife in this life, even if she marries again in the future, she can only be a concubine, not a wife." When he said this, Chang Tai looked at Xing Ruyi, but his gaze was a little weird, which made people feel uncomfortable.

When Ah Cheng was beheaded, Chang Tai did not go, but took wine and went to Yanniang's tomb. By the time Xiao Shengzi and the others carried Chang Tai back from Yan Niang's tomb, he was already drunk.

No one knows what Chang Tai said in front of Yanniang's tomb for half a day, only that his eyes were red and he seemed to have cried again.

After waking up, Chang Tai fell ill, and Xiao Shengzi found Ji Shengtang's Master Liu to diagnose him, and the diagnosis was depression.

The prescription is only eight words, and heart disease still needs heart medicine to be treated! Chang Tai's heart disease, everyone knows that it is Yan Niang, but now that Yan Niang is dead, where should I find this heart medicine?

Xiao Shengzi was anxious and just wanted to hit the wall, and he could only go to Xing Ruyi for help.
