Chapter 29: The Ghost Festival (10)
The little brother was stunned for a moment, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, girl, that mask was bought." ”
"Bought it?"
Shanshan's disappointed look made the little brother a little embarrassed, "I thought about the girl, you don't want it either!" It's not going to be sold. ”
Shanshan and Chu Yu glanced at each other.
"And do you remember who bought it?"
Unexpectedly, the little brother blurted out, "Remember!" Of course I do! The guest officer was generous and bought the mask for a piece of silver, I remember it very well! ”
"And what does he look like?"
Shanshan asked excitedly.
"I want to think about it......"
The little brother fell into memories, the night a day ago, the man came over in a hurry, standing in front of the stall, he was about to pack up and prepare to go back, he didn't expect to run into such a big business, it really made him unexpected, now think about the person's appearance, but some familiar, but I just can't remember who it is, who it is?
Ding Jiu saw that he couldn't think of it for a long time, so he knocked the mask on the car with a fan, which woke people up all of a sudden, "How long do you have to think about it!" ”
"Daoist Ding, don't mess up", Chu Yu glanced at Ding Jiu helplessly, and smiled at the little brother again, "Think about it carefully, this is very important to us." ”
Seeing Chu Yu so gentle, the little brother felt a little embarrassed, "I thought about it carefully, but it's a little dark, I can't see it clearly, and I'm not very familiar with that person......
"Lives matter! You must think about it! ”
Shanshan said excitedly.
Lives matter? The little brother was stunned.
"This ......", suddenly, the little brother's fierce eyes lit up, "I thought of it!" I thought about who he was! ”
"Who is it?"
Not long after nightfall, he also hurried back, panting and returning to the county office, one staggered to the ground, and then half-knelt to see Wu Qingtian, Wu Qingtian hurriedly put down the pen in his hand when he saw this, and went down to help him up, "How is it?" How's it going? ”
After he took a few heavy breaths, he recovered his breath and said intermittently, "My lord, it's all clear, what Master Liu said is half-true, he met Mrs. Liu when he was poor, but it was rumored that Mrs. Liu was already pregnant at that time, and Liu Xu was born nine and a half months after they got married." ”
Wu Qingtian frowned, there is such a thing, although the rumors are not credible, but some words are not groundless.
"What about the jade pendant? What's the deal with Jade Pendant? ”
"The subordinates of the Liu Mansion said that the jade pendant is the most precious thing of their eldest lady, and it has always been inseparable from her."
"You said this jade pendant belongs to Mrs. Liu?"
He nodded.
Wu Qingtian let go of his hand, looked back and thought about the whole thing, took two steps, and suddenly turned around, "What do you think of Liu Heng to his son Liu Xu?" ”
"The people of the Liu family have never interacted with people outside, and their subordinates don't know, but there is one thing, I heard that the eldest young master of the Liu family has been jumping into the river at the head of the bridge to find his death in recent days, and he will continue after being rescued by several people, I don't know why Master Liu didn't stop him......"
Wu Qingtian nodded, he had also heard about this matter.
"My lord, I want to see you."
"Come in."
He trotted and knelt under the hall, and a chief executive said with a serious face, "Lord Qiyu, when the villain re-examined Steward Liu's body, he found that there was a word engraved on his arm. ”
Wu Qingtian's eyes narrowed, "Lan? If I'm not mistaken, Mrs. Liu's full name is Liu Huilan. ”
Both nodded.
At this time, the doubts were also solved, Wu Qingtian waved his hand, and his tone was cold, "Come on, follow me to Liu's Mansion to get someone!" ”
The two flashing white lanterns at the door of Liu's mansion shook, the door was open, as if to welcome someone's arrival, the light in the house lit up the road outside the door, but the darkness on this street was pressed on them Liu's mansion, and when they entered the door, they could go to Liu Huilan's mourning hall, Liu Heng had already retired all the subordinates, Mrs. Liu had put on exquisite makeup, put on new clothes, closed her eyes, and slept in the coffin forever, there were a lot of snacks in front of the coffin, Liu Heng walked to the side of the coffin, and looked at Mrs. Liu who was lying quietly inside, Seeing her motionless, her chest did not rise and fall, and when he reached out and gently touched her face, it was also cold and scary, he sighed heavily, his eyes were full of affection, that was the tenderness he wanted to leave her for a lifetime.
"I remember the snow day more than ten years ago, I was about to freeze to death on the side of the road, the cold was the same as you, it was you, Lan'er, I still remember that you brought me egg drop soup, smiled at me warmly, I drank the soup, my stomach was warm, looking at your smile, my heart lit up, I know, it was at that moment, I fell in love with you, how ridiculous, I was just a poor bastard with nothing, and you are a lady, you married me despite everyone's opposition, I swear, I will not let you suffer! You didn't dislike me, and you gave me your dowry to do business, and the hard work paid off, I succeeded, and you also gave birth to a big fat son for me, I, I was so happy, I thought I was the happiest person. ”
Liu Heng recalled the past, and when he talked about happiness, he choked up, and even had the urge to cry.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, thinking of the scenes that made him unacceptable, as if one sharp arrow after another was being plunged into his chest, he tilted his head and closed his eyes, this sigh was his endless sorrow.
Just as Liu Heng lowered his head and told their story again, Wu Qingtian appeared, and he picked up his words, "But you know what she has been hiding from you from the beginning!" She married you because she was pregnant! She's married to you, but she's thinking of someone else! And that person is the butler who has been with you for more than ten years! Isn't that right, Master Liu! ”
Liu Heng was not surprised by Wu Qingtian's arrival, it was more accurate that he had expected him to come.
When Wu Qingtian arrived at the back foot of Liu's Mansion, Chu Yu and the others came back, and the little brother finally thought that the person who bought the mask was Master Liu! Although he didn't appear in front of everyone many times, he still had an impression, especially when he often accompanied his wife, that is, Mrs. Liu, to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and he often went to ask the Buddha to worship God to make a fortune or something.
I didn't expect the murderer to be Master Liu! Knowing the truth, they rushed back non-stop, for fear that he would attack Liu Xu again.
Seeing that they were all here, Liu Heng smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are all here......
Wu Qingtian said, "Liu Heng, what else do you have to say." ”
Liu Heng shook his head, "I've always been guilty, but I don't regret it, I did all this for her, only when he disappears, she will focus on me again, the housekeeper deserves it!" He ruined my family and my relationship with Lan'er! He deserves to die! ”
He gradually became crazy, and he couldn't imagine that Master Liu had become like this in just one day.
Ding Jiu also sighed heavily when he saw this situation, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he couldn't help but say, "Of all things in the world, infatuation is the most bitter, if you ask what, for no reason......
Chu Yu and the others all looked at him in surprise, and Shanshan couldn't help but say in a narrow voice, "Daoist Ding is empathetic!" ”
I thought he would frolic a word, but who knew that he just shook his head, "It would be nice if I could really feel it, hey, Shanshan, do you want to ...... with me too"
Shanshan slapped him on the head with one hand, "You better shut up!" ”
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu looked at them and shook their heads.
Wu Qingtian saw that he still had a good speech, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Liu Heng! You first killed your housekeeper, and then killed your wife Liu in a frenzy, and now you are still making excuses for yourself, stubborn! ”
"Nope! Lan'er wasn't killed by me! I didn't kill it! I love her so much, how could I kill her? It's too late for me to love her, how can I kill her? ”
Ding Jiu stood up and said, "I can testify that Mrs. Liu was not killed by him. ”
Chu Yu smiled and said nothing, Shanshan looked at him strangely, "Ding Jiu? ”
Wu Qingtian was also puzzled, why did there be a problem again at this time?
"When I was doing it last night, Master Liu was watching from the sidelines, and there was no time to poison him."
The medicine was warm when he entered the house, and it was impossible to drug her in advance, so he really had an alibi.
Liu Heng pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, and stated in a nonexistent voice, "Lan'er, it's a suicide ......."
Suicide! Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu committed suicide.
"Why is she so stupid, Steward Liu is dead, we can be together forever, why should she ......?"
"Daddy! Father! ”
Liu Xuan helped Liu Xu over, and everyone made a way for their brothers and sisters.
"Daddy."
Liu Heng looked at Liu Xu and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Liu Xuan moistened her eyes on the side, "Daddy......"
"Child, it's my dad who is sorry for you, it's all daddy's fault, it's all daddy's fault!"
"Dad, it's not your fault, I just found out...... I'm not your son, but Daddy! I will never forget your nurturing kindness! I don't care who my biological father is, I only recognize you! ”
Liu Heng smiled with relief, "Silly boy, no matter how much I treat you as my son, you will never be my biological son, it was a mistake from the beginning, I shouldn't know your mother, and I shouldn't let you suffer so many ...... at such a young age."
Liu Xuan cried and shook her head, "Dad...... Dad, the person my mother has always loved is you! ”
Liu Heng froze, "You." What do you say, Xuan'er? What did you say? ”
"I said mother, she has always loved you! My mother told me that the person she was most sorry for in this life was you, and she said that if there was an afterlife, she would marry you! ”
This belated truth was like a bolt from the blue, he couldn't react for a while, and suddenly, he laughed maniacally and shouted, "Hahahahahahahaha!" Lan'er loves me, Lan'er loves me! She loves me, she loves me! She loves me...... It's too late, it's too late......"
