Chapter 188: Speculation

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Three days later, Qiu Xin left the drunken red building, sat on a small sedan chair, was carried around a few alleys, and finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard.

After getting off the sedan chair, she sent the sedan chair man, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, and soon there was movement in the courtyard, and the back door opened, and someone welcomed her into the house.

The marriage on the He family's side did not take place as scheduled, because He Yuanwai suddenly fell ill, called the doctor overnight, and almost saved his life after a busy night. Although he was saved, he also fell into a coma. The doctor said that whether or not he can wake up depends entirely on creation.

Miss He died, and He Yuanwai suddenly fell ill again, and the affairs of the He family naturally fell on Sun Zhou, the prospective son-in-law. The He family has a deep foundation in Bai'an County, and He Yuan has many friends who come and go, and as soon as he heard that something happened to him, the people who came to visit him almost stepped on the threshold of the He family.

At this time, Sun Zhou came out with the momentum of the master's house, and all the people who came to visit the sick were sent away on the grounds of 'need to recuperate, not suitable for seeing guests'.

The He family suffered an accident, and He Yuanwai was grateful to Sun Zhou for ignoring his past suspicions, and he did not say much good things about Sun Zhou in front of relatives and friends, so at this time, Sun Zhou came forward and said that He Yuanwai could not see guests, but no one doubted it.

When Lu Zhiyuan and Ye Zongping rushed over after receiving the news, they only had time to see He Yuanwai lying motionless on the bed.

"It turned out that Lord Ye and Lord Lu were here, and there have been a lot of things at home recently, so please forgive the two adults if they are not welcome." Sun Zhou is different from the previous days.

Now he is wearing a new dress made of Hangzhou silk material, and he looks like a rich man in his speech and demeanor.

Lu Zhiyuan and Ye Zongping glanced at each other, and then sat down on the chair silently.

The people brought tea to entertain the guests, Lu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea with a teacup, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile, "Sun Gongzi is really different from the past now, and even the tea for hospitality is Fengshan Jin Junmei." ”

Due to environmental reasons, Fengshan produces Jin Jun Mei with a more mellow and sweet taste than other places, but the entire Fengshan can be planted with tea on that piece of land, so the annual output is very low. Ordinary people who get such a good tea can't wait to hide it and keep it for extremely important occasions to show their face.

Even if the He family had money, it was far from being able to waste it to the extreme, and the people in the tea room would never entertain guests with this kind of tea if they did not have the permission of the host. Now that He Yuan is sick, Sun Zhou is the only one who can take charge of the He family, and I want to know that this is specially prepared by Sun Zhou.

As for why he did this, it is up to him to see what he wants, and it is unknown whether he wants to show that his identity is different now.

"The two adults are distinguished guests, so naturally they want to bring the best tea to entertain. Although this Fengshan Jin Junmei is rare, it is also an honor to be able to use it for the two adults. Sun Zhou didn't care much, but there was an obvious pride everywhere between the lines.

Ye Zongping smiled, "Lord Lu is just saying it casually, and Sun Gongzi doesn't need to explain it specifically." ”

Hearing that Sun Zhou was a little embarrassed, he took a teacup and pretended to drink tea to relieve the embarrassment, Ye Zongping continued, "We also came here this time to visit He Yuanwai. Don't know if it's convenient? ”

He Yuanwai has always been physically tough, although the loss of his beloved daughter made him a lot haggard, but he would not become so sick overnight. Lu Zhiyuan and Ye Zongping both suspected that there was something strange about this matter, so they came to check it out in the name of visiting.

Sun Zhou seemed to have been prepared, and he didn't have any reluctance when he heard that they were going to visit He Yuanwai, "My father-in-law is in poor health, if other people come, I naturally can't let people disturb his old man's body, but the two adults are different, and the two of them will come with me." ”

Ye Zongping glanced at Lu Zhiyuan again, both of them with thoughtful expressions.

Sun Zhou took the two of them to the backyard and came to the courtyard outside He Yuan.

The closer this road is, the more the number of maids and families in He Yuanwai's residence, and when they arrive in front of He Yuanwai's door, there are four family guards at the door alone.

"Sun Gongzi is really filial piety." Ye Zongping opened his mouth and said.

Sun Zhougan laughed twice, and then waved his hand to let the subordinates retreat, "Two adults, please." ”

The three of them entered the house one after another.

He was lying motionless on the bed outside the house, and the curtain of the bed was lifted to reveal a white, bloodless face inside, which seemed to be seriously ill.

It seemed that he felt that someone was in the house, He Yuanwai opened his eyes, and after seeing the person clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, perhaps because he was too excited, and the whole person's face was trembling, and a whining sound came out of his throat.

"Father-in-law, I'm here." Sun Zhou immediately stepped forward to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to hold He Yuanwai's hand, and used his other hand to give him a smooth breath.

He Yuanwai's mood quickly eased up, his eyes closed again, and he seemed to be asleep again.

Sun Zhou got up and looked at Lu Zhiyuan and He Ye Zongping with apologetic expressions.

"My father-in-law was sad about Qingrou all day long, and he had been holding on for nothing during this time, but the doctor said that he was too worried and anxious, so he fell ill all of a sudden." He sighed as he spoke, and a look of discomfort appeared on his face, as if he was indeed uncomfortable for He Yuanwai's illness.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at him, and then said, "We can rest assured that Sun Gongzi has this filial piety, presumably your filial piety can also be felt by anyone else." ”

"My parents died young, and my father-in-law is now my closest person, and it is natural to take care of him." Sun Zhou said.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, and Yu Ye Zongping said goodbye together.

Sun Zhou naturally sent them away respectfully.

Out of the door of Hefu, Ye Zongping looked at the black paulownia gate behind him, and said in a deep voice, "What does Brother Lu think about this?" ”

"Isn't there already a result of the case, and what I think is important?" Lu Zhiyuan asked in a light tone.

Ye Zongping knew that he was still angry with him about the last sentence to Wang Touzi, but at that time, the evidence pointed to Wang Touzi, and the family of the deceased strongly demanded that the murderer be severely punished, so he naturally couldn't drag it out without sentencing.

"Brother Lu, don't make fun of me, I was also very embarrassed by the situation at that time." Ye Zongping accompanied the smiling face.

Lu Zhiyuan also knew his difficulties, and he didn't really blame him, he said, "Just now I observed He Yuanwai's complexion, it didn't look like he was angry. ”

"What does Brother Lu mean?"

"The face is blue, but it looks like poisoning." Lu Zhiyuan said with a solemn face.

Ye Zongping frowned and pondered, "He wouldn't be so bold and dare to poison under our noses?" ”

"What don't you dare, people die for money, and now there is only one person left in the He family, if He Yuanwai is gone, it should be that he inherited all the property of the He family." Lu Zhiyuan sneered.

"Then we might as well go back again, and I'll take a doctor to personally check on He Yuanwai." Ye Zongping said.

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Even if there is a real problem, he can push it away, after all, He Yuanwai can't speak at all now, and we don't have any evidence to prove that he poisoned and murdered He Yuanwai, and if he is not careful, it is very likely to startle the snake." ”

Ye Zongping thought about it and felt that it made sense, but in the end he was a little depressed, the more he investigated the case for so long, the more he felt that this Sun Zhou was a big problem, but there was no favorable evidence, "Then we won't do anything?" ”

"It's not about doing nothing, it's about waiting."

"What are you waiting for?" Ye Zongping didn't understand.

"Wait for the next time he does it." Lu Zhiyuan said as he said with a few traces of calculation in his eyes, "Do you remember that Qiu Xin I asked you to stare at?" ”

"I haven't asked you what you're going to do staring at her?" Ye Zongping nodded.

"She is likely to be Sun Zhou's next target." Lu Zhiyuan's expression became serious as he spoke, "Send someone to keep an eye on the alley where Qiu Xin lives, and don't let people attack her." ”

"Don't worry, I photographed a lot of people over there, staring at them day and night, and I was sure that not a single fly could escape." Ye Zongping said with a smile.

The two walked towards the front as they spoke, and soon disappeared into the street.

......

Bai Zhi was always restless this day, she always felt that something was dangling in her mind, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing special.

"Sister, eat some grapes, this is what Mrs. Ye sent just now, saying that it is the last crop of the year." Seeing that she had been frowning all day, the vial spoke.

"Hmm." Bai Zhi looked at the clean grape particles washed next to her, reached out and pinched one and put it in her mouth, and said casually, "Did the fourth girl go to visit her father?" ”

"I just left, and I went with a food box." Xiao Bottler couldn't help laughing as she spoke, "It's strange to say that she's going for a while, and she has kowtowed to you at the door, and said a strange thing, making it feel like life and death." ”

Bai Zhi didn't say anything, she reached out to get another grape, her eyes touched the black agate-like grape grains, her fingertips suddenly froze, and the problem that had plagued her for several days finally had a clue.

No wonder she has always felt that Qiu Xin, who was drunk in the Red Mansion, looked familiar, it turned out to be eyes, she had seen a pair of eyes that were exactly the same.

"You mean the four girls said a lot of strange things when they left?"

Xiao Bottler was also taken aback by her serious appearance, and nodded hurriedly back, "I said something about her sisters, and I was busy with other things at the time and didn't listen carefully." ”

The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and it happened that Lord Lu came back at this time, so she told Lord Lu everything she thought.

"Are you saying that Qiu Xin is likely to be the sister of the fourth girl?" Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this speculation, he really hadn't noticed that the eyes of the four girls and Qiu Xin were not similar.

"That's right, I felt familiar when I looked at Qiu Xin, her eyes were almost exactly the same as the four girls. If I guessed correctly, Qiu Xin should be the third sister of the four girls. Bai Zhi analyzed.

First, they are about the same age, and secondly, the three sisters of the four girls, Wang Daya and Wang Erya, have all entered the ground, only Wang Sanya said that he was dead, but no one had ever seen the corpse, it is very likely that Wang Sanya was not dead at that time, and she changed her name and surname and came back.
