Chapter 14: The Red Door Inn (14) The cause of death is different

Waiting for Chen Cen to come back, Mo Chen came to the first floor, under the guidance of Zheng Yi, he pretended to walk to the stable unintentionally, and Ding Si was combing the horses, seeing Mo Chen coming, he nodded politely to say hello.

Mo Chen walked to the side of the horse, looked at the horse that was haircut by Ding Si with appreciation, and exclaimed, "This horse is so handsome, I guess Fourth Brother Ding has bothered a lot on weekdays!" ”

Ding Si smiled, and the movements in his hands still did not stop, "Hey, let's just mix this bowl of rice, take the master's money, and don't wait for this old fellow who appreciates the meal!" ”

Ding Si is indeed as Zheng Yi said, he is very talkative, he looked at Mo Chen sideways, "The little brother is the teacher who stayed in the dormitory!" ”

Mo Chen nodded, looked at his clothes again, and asked, "How does Fourth Brother Ding know that I am not a student accompanying me?" ”

The corners of Ding's four lips opened a smile, and he said confidently, "Don't underestimate us who do rough work, we run the rivers and lakes all year round to eat, and we see how well people can do it!" ”

"Awesome! Terrible! Mo Chen said, and then Mo Chen took advantage of the rainy day to be difficult to walk, trapped and bored, and chatted with Ding Si. During the chat, Mo Chen asked that Ding Si and his wife came to the Qian family a year ago to help, needless to say, they didn't know much about the old things of the Qian family, but when Mo Chen mentioned that the young master Qian was sent to the temple because of his ominous life, Ding Si's ears moved unconsciously, and then Ding Si said, "The affairs of the master's family, those of us who are subordinates don't need to know, let alone speculate, I advise Mr. Mo not to inquire!" ”

The other party made it clear that he didn't want to talk to Mo Chen about this topic, and Mo Chen smiled, "Yes, blame me for talking too much, but there is one thing, I hope that Fourth Brother Ding will not hesitate to give advice." ”

"Oh? You say. Ding Si said.

"Is the funeral custom here to sing on stage in front of the coffin?" Mo Chen asked.

Ding Sileng paused, "Sir, why do you say this?" ”

Mo Chen pretended to be curious, "I vaguely heard the sound of the drama in the middle of last night, and I couldn't hear the lyrics very clearly, but the tone was sad and sad." A few scared female students didn't sleep all night, so I wondered, is this the custom here? ”

Mo Chen said carelessly, but Ding Si's expression became more and more frightened, the hand that combed the horse's hair froze unconsciously, and Mo Chen tentatively shouted, "Fourth Brother Ding!" ”

Ding Sifang just woke up like a dream, and it was so unnatural that he was hesitant, "Sir, it's better not to ask too much, leave as soon as the sky clears, don't be nosy." ”

It seems that Ding Si should know something inside, otherwise he would not be so flustered at this moment, Mo Chen grabbed Ding Si's wrist, and never thought that the absent-minded Ding Si was startled by this. Mo Chen said, "Fourth brother, I didn't have any intention of doing anything, but you look at this mountain rain, there is no Fang Qing's posture at all. At least let me know what the hell is going on, and I can't let my students stay in a murderous house all day in fear. Mo Chen deliberately accented on the word murderous house, and Ding Si couldn't help but shudder.

Ding Si lowered his eyebrows and hesitated for a while, then looked around, and saw that there was no one nearby, as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me, if others ask, don't say I said it!" ”

"It's nature!" Mo Chen nodded affirmatively.

Although Ding Si and his wife have not been in the Qian family for a long time, his mother-in-law is a well-known gossip, and there were many servants in the Qian family before, and when they were idle, these old mothers liked to get together to discuss the affairs of the master's family. Mr. Qian had two aunts and wives before his death, and Mrs. Qian in the main room came from a scholarly family, with a gentle and easy-going personality, and never harshly criticized his subordinates. But it is also because of this weak temperament that he can't please Mr. Qian, and the relationship between Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian has always been respectful.

The second wife is different, born in the rivers and lakes, with a more lively and cheerful personality, well-informed and well-informed when she travels south and north, and knows better what men want, so she is particularly favored by Master Qian. However, the drama is a drama after all, if the second aunt loves Master Qian too much, it is better to say that she loves the quality of life that the Master Qian family can provide her. Not long ago, Mr. Qian died in death, and the attitude of the second wife was even more shocking, the coffin of the master of the family had just been placed, and the second wife was clamoring to divide the family property, and I couldn't see how sad she was for the death of Mr. Qian.

In desperation, the lady had to prevaricate and said that she would wait for the eldest young master to return home for the funeral and settle the funeral affairs of the old man, and then separate the family. When the second wife heard this arrangement, she immediately blew up the pot, and cried and shouted regardless of the image, saying that the lady relied on her own son, so the mother and son joined forces to bully her, the aunt in the side room, and later it was the persuasion of the housekeeper Uncle Xu that the second wife stopped and listened to the arrangement of the lady for the time being.

After that day, a strange thing happened, the body of the second aunt was found hanging in front of the coffin of the old man Qian, and the lady said that the second aunt and the old man had a deep love for the old man, and they couldn't think about it for a while and went with the old man.

"You're not a liar! If you want to say that the lady was martyred for the master, it is also said that in the past, the second aunt is too her...... Moreover! Speaking of the second aunt, Ding Si's face changed color, and he didn't seem to have a good impression of the second lady.

"The second aunt died like this? Didn't leave a suicide note or anything? Mo Chen remembered that Zheng Yi once said that Uncle Xu told him that the second lady left a golden silk handkerchief, on which were written poems of the couple's deep affection.

Ding Si pursed his lips, as if he had heard something ridiculous, "Come on!" You think she's a cultured person! The people who run the rivers and lakes are all illiterate in big characters, and I am afraid that she will not be able to write anything ugly if she wants to. ”

Mo Chen sighed casually, thinking in his heart, in this way, either Uncle Xu lied to Zheng Yi, or there was indeed a golden silk handkerchief and a posthumous poem, but the person who wrote the posthumous poem was someone else, and this person was the murderer of the second lady nine times out of ten.

"After the second aunt died, people often heard the sound of singing at night, coming out of the second aunt's room, and later there was a rumor among the people below that the second aunt was too haunted. Some people say that the old man was dissatisfied with the second aunt who made waves after his death, and took her away in a fit of anger. But the second aunt hasn't enjoyed enough of this glory and wealth, so she has a grudge in her heart, and she turns into a ghost and wants to come back to snatch the family property from her wife and son. Some people also say that the second aunt was killed by someone, because she died in vain, so she became a ghost and haunted in the house. Ding Si swallowed his saliva, as if he remembered something terrifying, and suddenly became a little nervous, "Later, people in the mansion began to have accidents and even disappeared inexplicably, and the whole house was panicked. The lady gave the group of men two taels of silver and dismissed them. ”

"Why didn't you husband and wife leave?" Mo Chen asked.

Ding Si sighed, "In this era of war and chaos, it's good to fill your stomach, where are we going to leave here?" Besides, we are doing the right thing, I don't believe that the second aunt can harm the two of us too much. ”

"You think so." Mo Chen said.

"Hey! It's not for the sake of mixed food. Ding Si waved his hand, feeling extremely lonely.
