Who is this old man? As mentioned earlier, my grandfather has to know him if he doesn't know anyone.

This old man is my great-grandfather's second brother, that is, my grandfather's second uncle, and I have said a long time ago that my great-grandfather has two younger brothers and a younger sister, and my grandfather has also taken the time to visit them when he comes home this time.

My great-grandfather's second brother was named Liu Qing, two years younger than my great-grandfather, and he was fifty-six years old. After my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother were married, my great-grandfather took three hundred taels of gold from my great-grandmother's dowry and gave them to his two younger brothers and sisters.

This Liu Qing, with the one hundred taels of gold given to him by my great-grandfather, did a little business in Yanjin County. According to my grandmother, it doesn't matter what it is in the cloth business. Later, the business became more and more prosperous, and after saving some savings, he bought a few houses in the county seat, and the whole family moved into the city.

A few years ago, Liu Qing and his wife moved back to Liuzhuang from the county seat, because the children have already married and the two of them are older, so they moved back to enjoy their old age quietly.

Liu Qing couldn't stay at home, so he went out for a walk that evening while his wife hadn't finished dinner yet.

He had heard about the autopsy on the riverbank, but he had never come to see it, and today on a whim, he ran to take a look, but he didn't expect him to see my grandfather, his own nephew, of course, not an outsider, and walked directly over and grabbed my grandfather's arm.

Liu Qing had to pull my grandfather to sit at home, at this time, Jin Wuxi fell, the sky was dark, and it happened to catch the head and let those officials call it a day, my grandfather saw that there was nothing wrong, and he couldn't resist his second uncle, so he followed Liu Qing to his house.

Liu Qing's wife, Xue, that is, my grandfather's second aunt, saw that my grandfather was coming, and she was also very affectionate, and was busy arranging a few snacks, Liu Qing took out a few jars of old wine, poured wine into the cup, and the two of them ate and drank like this.

While drinking wine, the two of them chatted and chatted, and they talked about my grandfather killing the dragon lord. This matter has now spread all over the area, it can be said that everyone knows about it, and my second uncle has heard about it a long time ago, his own nephew can do such an earth-shattering thing, and his old face is also very bright, and I feel that those acquaintances in the village talk to him in a different tone.

Liu Qing praised my grandfather, saying that there can be such a strange person as my grandfather in the family, and when he went out, his waist was straighter than before, and my grandfather was embarrassed.

Originally, my grandfather wanted to explain, but when he saw Liu Qingyi talking about his dragon slaying, his eyes lit up, and it was difficult to say that it was a baby fish that had become a fine spirit.

After that, the two talked about Liu Daqiang's drowning.

My grandfather asked Liu Qing, "Second uncle, I heard from the county government that Liu Daqiang's death seems to be related to our Liu family's own family, do you know this?" ”

"I know, why don't I know." Liu Qing didn't drink much, and at this time he had obviously drunk enough, and his face was flushed, "Your second uncle and I, I can't sit still at home, so I go to the big locust tree in the village to chat with a group of old men when I have nothing to do, and we can't hide anything from me in this village." ”

"If you want to talk about Daqiang...... Liu Qinggang said at the beginning, as if he remembered something, got up from the chair, walked to the door, opened the door and looked left and right in the courtyard, and then closed the door, as if he was a thief, and went to take a look inside, probably seeing that his wife Xue had fallen asleep, and after returning to his seat, he lowered his voice and said to my grandfather: "This matter, I tell you, don't talk about it, except for our surname Liu, no one can let him know." ”

"Why?" My grandfather asked.

Liu Qing tapped his fingers on the table and said, "You still need to ask why, if this matter spreads, our ancestors' faces will be lost!" ”

"Is it" my grandfather smiled when he heard this, in his heart, the ancestors were very distant to him, and the family concept in his mind was also very weak. Just imagine, when my grandfather was seventeen years old, he set fire to Cai Wenye's room, Cai Wenye was so angry that he fell ill, and soon he died, and he was angry with his grandfather to death, what kind of family concept can he expect him to have.

"Bing Shou, what are you laughing at?" Liu Qingmian stared at my drunken eyes and saw my grandfather smile.

My grandfather hurriedly straightened his face, "I didn't laugh at anything, I just don't tell others, you continue." ”

Liu Qing sighed "sigh", "That Daqiang, it was drowned in the river for Liu Jinla, and someone saw it." ”

"Who is Liu Jin?" My grandfather asked.

"Liu Jin, the one who partnered with Daqiang to fish, I heard that you have been to Daqiang's house, and the one who led you the way is Liu Jin."

My grandfather suddenly realized, "Are you talking about the ship boss?" Aren't he and Liu Daqiang small? ”

Liu Qingyi waved his hand, "What is the child, it is true that the two of them grew up since childhood, but this Liu Jin's family is poor, and his heart is not right, he has bullied Daqiang since he was a child, and when he was fifteen years old, he learned boxing and kicking with others for a few days, and he was stealing chickens and dogs in the village all day long, and now he is in his early thirties, and he has not yet asked for a daughter-in-law." Liu Qing said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "This Daqiang's family is rich, his parents' family was one of the richest families in our village before his death, when Daqiang was thirteen years old, the two of them crossed the river to run errands, and a wave came over, and the boat was gone, and the person died." After Daqiang's parents died, he left him a lot of property, and the child was also angry, and at the age of thirteen he took over the butcher shop opened by his father in the county. ”

"Then why did Liu Jin kill Liu Daqiang?" My grandfather asked.

"It's a long story, you listen to me tell you slowly." Liu Qing continued: "At the beginning of spring this year, Daqiang spent money to buy a fishing boat, Liu Jin saw that Daqiang was living a good life, so he died on the boat and did not leave, and he had to ask Liu Jin to divide half of the fish he hit, Daqiang had no choice, so he made him the boss of the boat, and the fish were sent to the butcher shop in the county seat, and half of the fish money was given to Liu Jin. Who knows, like this, Liu Jin is still not satisfied, and he doesn't know how to get it, and he hooked up with Daqiang's daughter-in-law again, and the two often fool around together when Daqiang is not at home. Liu Jin coveted Daqiang's family wealth, and hooked up with his daughter-in-law unclearly, after a long time, he looked at Daqiang in the way, and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Daqiang, if Daqiang died, he would be able to collect both people and money. What about these, your second uncle and I all listened to an old man in the family, their relationship with Liu Jin is much closer than the relationship between our family and Liu Jin, our family and Liu Jin have five blessings a few generations earlier, and they are not close to each other. ”

When my grandfather heard Liu Qing say this, he nodded, and raised the wine glass on the table to salute Liu Qing.

Liu Qing took a sip of the wine glass and continued: "On the day of the dragon lord in the river, Daqiang happened to have nothing to do in the store, so he followed Liu Jin and them down to the river to fish, Liu Jin saw the dragon lord coming from a distance and greeted him to abandon the boat, Daqiang, reluctant to boat, and the last one jumped into the river, Liu Jin took advantage of the few guys swimming in front and didn't pay attention, turned back and dragged Daqiang into the water. It turned out that no one knew about this matter, but coincidentally, a guy looked back, and just saw Liu Jin holding Daqiang and sinking into the water, and later, only Liu Jin came out of the river alone, obviously Liu Jin dragged Daqiang into the river and drowned, Liu Jin said to people that it was the Dragon King who dragged Daqiang into the water, and he could only deceive those people with foreign surnames......"

When my grandfather heard Liu Qing say this, he remembered the bruises on Liu Daqiang's feet and neck, and also remembered the boss of the boat, that is, Liu Jin, when Liu Jin led the way, his steps were tiger-like, like a practitioner, and now it seems that the murderer is undoubtedly him.

My grandfather asked Liu Qing again, "Isn't this just a murder case, when the county government came to investigate, why didn't anyone say anything?" ”

"Who would say, our ancestor of the Liu family is a big official, the ancestor has been honest and honest all his life, and in our generation, there is such a person, not only occupying other people's daughters-in-law, but also killing people and goods, saying it, does the ancestor have a light on his face?"

Liu Qing's words made my grandfather a little confused, and he asked: "Liu Jin is a member of our Liu family, so Liu Daqiang is not a member of our Liu family?" The people in the family just watched Liu Jin kill Liu Daqiang? Why do I think that those people in the family are not afraid of the face of their ancestors, but use this as an excuse to favor Liu Jin? ”

"Favoritism? Yes, it's partial......" Liu Qing glanced at my grandfather, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, "It's no wonder that others, who let Liu Daqiang be a concubine, and Liu Jin is the heir of our Liu family." ”

"Hukou?" My grandfather didn't understand it.

Liu Qing raised a finger and pointed upward, explaining: "Push up a few generations, Liu Daqiang's grandmother is the maid of our Liu Mansion, at that time, our Liu family had a big business, and the maid was pregnant and had no name, no matter whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, our family did not recognize their lineage, and it was already considered to promote them with the surname 'Liu', a few years ago, the family got a lot of benefits from Liu Daqiang's parents, and this is ......"

Before Liu Qing's words were finished, something unexpected happened to him, the wine glass in my grandfather's hand "clicked" and was pinched to pieces, and my grandfather's face was pale, as if he was going to kill someone.

Liu Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked my grandfather what was wrong!

What's wrong with my grandfather? I guess you can guess without me saying that he was accurately struck by his second uncle's words at this time, touching the scene, recalling Xiaoyu, recalling the situation when Xiaoyu was pregnant and hanged herself.

Maid, is it so statusless? Then Liu Daqiang, is it so damned? Then Liu Jin, should he just get away with it? Is it so higher than the concubine?

It took a long time for my grandfather to come back, and when he saw Liu Qing's frightened face, he hurriedly covered up that he was drunk and that he was fine.

At this time, the wine had been drunk, and Liu Qing could no longer take out the wine from home, so he clamored to go to the wine shop in the neighboring village to sell wine. ~pen

My grandfather was also a little drunk at this time, so he stopped Liu Qing and got up to say goodbye to him.

Of course Liu Qing can't let him go, it's impossible to find a boat to cross the river in the middle of the night, and there are a lot of vacant rooms at home, so it's absolutely no problem to leave my grandfather to stay.

My grandfather was reluctant to stay, saying that he knew the father and son patrolling the river by the river, and the father and son would cross the river with him.

The time soon came to noon the next day, Wang Caoyu ran to the temporary grass hut on the north bank of the river, found the head catcher and said, "Uncle Bingshou drank a lot last night, and the wine has not woken up at this time, so he can't come today, so he asked me to come and tell you." ”

The head catcher nodded when he heard this, but he didn't care.

However, in the second half of the day, the fishermen again fished out two corpses from the river, one male and one female, the man was about 30 years old and the woman was in her early 20s.

These two corpses are completely different from the previous "dead drifters", not only are they not big-bellied, but the most important thing is that the two corpses are not clothed and naked! -The Last Ghost Hunter-
