Chapter 33: Portrait Wanted

"Old man Yu, you say, will there be anything about Li Chenghe here?" Fang Langzhong asked such a question, but Old Man Yu shook his head, "I know Cheng He, he is a kind and honest person, even if he has a lot of money, he has never hurt others. Besides, if he really asked people to come to the oil seller with his money bag, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here? However, I'm afraid this matter will still fall on him! ”

"You mean, the person who did this is not only trying to harm Erniang, but also pushing this black pot to Li Chenghe?" Yichun understood what Old Man Yu meant, and couldn't help but shiver all over. In the dark, there seems to be a black hand pushing the rings and buttons, pulling everyone into a huge whirlpool.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will invite Chenghe over and say that I have something to ask him." Old man Yu stood up, put the money bag he was carrying, quietly put it on the edge of the kang, and said to Fang Langzhong slightly, "Erniang is newly mourned, I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to take care of the aftermath, so please ask Fang Langzhong to bother more, I'll go back first." ”

Yichun helped the old man Yu out, and the oil seller slowly knelt down at their backs and kowtowed heavily.

In the early morning of the next day, Yichun invited Li Chenghe to Yufu for a while. As soon as he entered the door, Li Chenghe found that Old Man Yu's face was not good, so he carefully leaned over and sat down on the chair, and asked in a low voice, "Old Man Yu, are you looking for me?" Old Man Yu didn't raise his eyelids, and asked in a deep voice, "Chenghe, a human life is related to you, should I ask?" Li Chenghe was startled and quickly stood up, "Old man Yu, you should ask!" But, but I don't know anything, you ......."

"Sit, sit!" Old Man Yu sighed and said, "Wu Liang hurt the big girl of the oil seller back then, do you know about this?" At the mention of this incident, Li Chenghe's face turned black into carbon, "That bastard, if it weren't for the Wu family's protection, I would have to break his legs!" The old man said, "But someone used your banner to send a recipe and silver to the oil seller, saying that it was your meaning." If you are kind to the oil seller, he will naturally not let his daughter-in-law make trouble again. Do you know, yesterday the man went again, Erniang took the medicine he sent, and the seven orifices bled to death! ”

"What!" Li Chenghe was startled, his body was crooked, and he almost fell off the chair. He panicked and wanted to explain to the old man Yu, but the old man Yu had already waved his hand to stop him, comforted him and said, "Who are you, I know in my heart, you didn't do this." I called you here today to ask if someone hated you that would make such a bad move. ”

A familiar figure appeared in Li Chenghe's mind, except for the Wu family, he really couldn't think of anyone who would hate himself so much that he would take a human life to frame him. But when Erniang went crazy, the Wu family was still in the house, would she really do that?

Seeing him hesitate, Old Man Yu said, "I know you have concerns, now I have suppressed the oil seller's side, and Fang Langzhong also takes care of it." But Erniang's life can't be left unclear, I must inquire to the end. ”

Li Chenghe thought about it again and again, and told the old man Yu the secret hidden in his heart, "I have already given the Wu family a letter of release to his wife, and she has also left the Li Mansion and does not know where to go." I wondered, could this have something to do with her? After all, Wu Liang is her own nephew, and it is not unusual to say that she did such a foolish thing in order to protect Wu Liang. ”

"In addition to Wu Deli, do the Wu family have any other relatives?" Old man Yu is suspicious, a woman has left her husband's house, and there is no mother's house to go back to, where can she go? Li Chenghe shook his head, "I have been married to her for many years, and I haven't heard of any other relatives, but ......" His face turned red, and the old man knew that what Li Chenghe was thinking of at the moment was the man who had an adultery affair with the Wu family.

"Okay, since you and the Wu family no longer have the name of husband and wife, the past should be let pass." Old Man Yu comforted him and said, "It was also a hasty decision to remarry the Wu family back then. I will pay attention to the daughters of good families for you, and life will go on. As he spoke, the old man Yu took out the portrait painted by Yichun and showed it to Li Chenghe, "This person is the medicine delivery person drawn according to the description of the oil seller." ”

Li Chenghe looked at it for a moment, "I haven't seen this person, could it be from outside?" The old man said, "In any case, I think that if you post this portrait and let everyone look for it together, there may be clues." ”

In just half an hour, the man's portrait was plastered all over the town. When people saw it, they whispered and thought it was a thief. was explained by the fast-talking He Biyi, and everyone understood that this person was the thief who harmed Erniang!

The news of Erniang's death spread quietly after noon, and people felt both pity and sympathy for this poor woman. So they spontaneously took off the portrait and carried it with them, and once they met this person, they would definitely escort him to Erniang's grave to make amends!

At this moment, Yan Heyi and Zhong Huachi sat back to back with a sore body after experiencing a fierce battle. Zhong Huachi said in horror, "What the hell are those just now, I call myself Bai Xiaosheng of the rivers and lakes, but I don't know anything about these mechanism formations. Yan Heyi, you must not say what happened here, otherwise where will my face go! ”

Yan Heyi took out the dry food he brought with him and nibbled on a few bites, feeling that his spirit had been consumed by more than half. After they came out of the White Tower last night, as soon as they stopped the pain of being bitten by insects on their bodies, the ground under their feet began to change, and all kinds of hidden weapons came one after another, and he and Zhong Huachi almost fought for their lives to escape. After daybreak, the mechanisms stopped working, giving them a chance to breathe.

"Hey, it's the next day, should we go back?" For this place, Zhonghuachi is no longer happy when he first came, and he just wants to escape immediately. Suddenly, a little girl's sobbing sound came from the house behind them, Zhong Huachi hugged Yan Heyi, and said tremblingly, "Didn't you say that ghosts only come out at night?" ”

"Woo woo, woo woo woo......" The voice continued, Yan Heyi ignored Zhonghuachi's stop, pushed the door and walked in. In the corner of the room squatted a little girl with pigtails, who looked no more than five or six years old, with her back to the door, and could not see her face clearly.

"Little sister, why are you here, where is your father?" Yan Heyi tried her best to soften her tone, the little girl turned her head violently, there were tears on her little face, she saw someone at the door, she seemed to be frightened, turned around and ran. When Zhong Huachi chased in, he saw her running into a wall and disappearing!
