Chapter 150: Trouble for Appearance

Lan Yi once mentioned to Wang Chengde that after she woke up from amnesia, she had seen Zhang Pingyu, the young owner of the Zhang family, in the Sihai Inn in Qingshan Town, and Wang Chengde was very emotional at that time.

At this time, hearing Zhang Pingyu mention this matter again, Wang Chengde has calmed down a lot: "Tao'er mentioned it to me, but Tao'er doesn't recognize your appearance as the second master, otherwise the young master would not suffer such twists and turns." ”

Wang Chuntao is the maid next to Wang Mingzhe, she naturally knows Zhang Pingyu, but Zhang Pingyu doesn't recognize her.

First, Zhang Pingyu has a cold temperament and never pays attention to the people around him, especially the maids; The second is that Chun Tao was too young at that time, and in the next few years, she followed Yao Yirou to serve in a simple and simple life, and rarely showed up; The third is that when she met in Qingshan Town, Meixian County, Chun Tao had been replaced by Lan Yi, and her temperament, dress, and accent were completely different, and it was impossible for Zhang Pingyu to associate her with Wang Chuntao.

"It is his blessing that Wenxuan has a spring peach to follow, and Steward Wang has given birth to a good daughter." Zhang Pingyu remembered that Chun Tao confidently talked to him about business at that time, spoke confidently and was organized, not at all as if he had just lost his memory and didn't know his life experience, "Chun Tao really fell down the mountain and lost her memory?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, "That's why I didn't recognize Second Master Zhang at that time." ”

Zhang Pingyu is not a person who talks much, and although he has doubts, he does not come out. Zhang Pingyu kept his business promise very much, and when the two signed the agreement, they said that they would not tell others about Lan Yi's cake recipe, even if it was in front of Wang Chengde and Lan Yi's future husband, he would not ask more.

Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't bring up the matter of selling his cake recipe, otherwise he would have to explain how there was such a pastry practice.

"Steward Wang, why are you looking for me like this?"

Wang Chengde stood up and arched his hand, "Second master, the villain asked Zhou Zhen to invite you over, I really want to ask you for advice on something important." ”

Wang Chengde talked about Lan Wu's matter in detail, and Zhang Pingyu frowned after hearing it.

"Second master, in your opinion, what is the Lan family going to arrest the little girl for?"

Zhang Pingyu didn't answer, but asked, "Why did Steward Wang come to ask me?" ”

Lan Yi replied directly, "Second Master, you have a very good relationship with my uncle and the fourth master of the Lan family, I want you to know something about the Lan family, my father and I don't know who to inquire, so I came to look for you." Second, since the death of the uncle, the relationship between you and the fourth master Lan has not changed as much as before, have you found something? ”

The faint smile on Zhang Pingyu's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual strict appearance. He gently turned the wrench in his hand, "Chun Tao, you will tell me more about the situation of falling from the mountain." ”

Wang Chengde said: "There is no need to hide anything from Second Master Zhang, Tao'er, you tell the truth." ”

Lan Yi told the story again.

After hearing this, Zhang Pingyu's brows furrowed: "So, when you woke up, you didn't know how you fell down the mountain?" Mrs. Sister-in-law didn't say anything at the time? Later, you buried your sister-in-law and left with Wenxuan, and you didn't find anyone tracking you? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhang Pingyu thought for a while, the lines of his face became more and more stiff, he habitually clasped the wrench on his thumb, and snorted coldly and said angrily: "What a ruthless method!" ”

Zhou Weiji saw him like this, so he speculated: "According to Zhou's speculation, someone should have introduced the three of Chun Tao into the deep mountain and then caused them to fall from the mountain." After that, Wenxuan's mother hurt her heart and only had one breath left; Chun Tao hit a stone on her head, and her injuries were not light and she was unconscious; Wenxuan is under the age of one, and it is difficult to live alone. Since the three of them are dead, that person did not kill again. ”

Killing people will leave clues on the corpses, and when their bodies are found, the yamen will conduct an autopsy and then follow the clues. However, if the three of them "accidentally" fall from the mountain, it will be much more difficult to find clues. Zhou Weiji has been the leader of the team for so long, and he can guess a few points about the psychology of the criminal.

Zhang Pingyu nodded, and then speculated: "What Brother Zhou said is very true, and there is another possibility that they only want the lives of their sister-in-law and Chun Tao, and they don't want to harm Wenxuan together." The Lan family is proficient in metaphysics and easy arts, and they will do things more often 'according to divination' and do not act rashly. Since Lan Junchen calculated for Wen Xuan that he would meet nobles when he went north, he would save the day, so the people who attacked the Lan family would not kill him together, but left him with a glimmer of life. ”

Zhang Pingyu's tone was sarcastic, the Lan family attaches great importance to their reputation for easy learning divination, and will not smash their own signboards.

Lan Yi's eyes rolled, "Does that mean that their hands and feet were not clean when they did this, so they were a little panicked when they saw me come back, afraid that the matter at that time would be exposed." That's why they came to the door twice to see if I really had amnesia and couldn't remember the past. ”

"Yes, the Lan family's whereabouts are weird, but they claim to 'follow the way of heaven' and don't harm people's lives, so if Chun Tao, if you let them know that you really have amnesia, the Lan family shouldn't pay attention to you anymore." Zhang Pingyu's brows loosened slightly, he never felt that women had brains, and Chun Tao's behavior and statements made him change a little.

Wang Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, "I will take Tao'er to the major medical centers in Meixian County tomorrow and ask Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat her amnesia." Hehe, Tao'er, let's make them think that you really have amnesia and can't be treated. As for how to diagnose and treat the recovery of memory, we will talk about it later. ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Dad, it's been so long and I can't remember anything, I'm afraid it's hard to remember." ”

Zhou Wei saw that Lan Yi's face was as usual, and he was not distressed by the inability to remember the past, and was secretly happy. Lan Yi can't remember the past, and she will definitely forget her "childhood sweetheart" neighbor Wang Shaoyan, Wang Chunrong didn't mention this name less after he was drunk, and listening to his tone, Lan Yi also cared a little about the stinky boy before.

Now, his little girl can't remember the past, and he wants to take this opportunity to engrave himself firmly in her mind, so that she only has him in her heart.

Lan Yi saw the corners of Zhou Weiji's mouth pull up, looking at herself with a happy expression, she was a little puzzled, but now she was more concerned about the current situation, "Second Master Zhang, why did you say that the Lan family wanted to attack the eldest lady?" ”

"Yes," Wang Chengde also had a hard time, "We have nothing to do with the Lan family, and the eldest lady rarely goes out, how can we offend the people of the Lan family?" ”

Zhang Pingyu sighed, "Mrs. Sister-in-law this time, it can be regarded as a flying disaster. ”

What others don't know, he does. After rescuing Yao Yirou from the Jingzhou River, not only Wang Mingzhe fell in love with her at first sight, but so did Lan Junchen.

It's just that Wang Mingzhe showed his attitude in front and protected Yao Yirou very properly, Lan Junchen adhered to the principle of "friends and wives can't be bullied", and only silently suppressed this love in his heart. After Yao Yirou and Wang Mingzhe got married, Lan Junchen was depressed and drank several times, and when he saw Wang Mingzhe, he would inadvertently mention Yao Yirou, and when he was a guest at Wang's house, his eyes also had a faint expectation, hoping to see her occasionally.

After Wang Mingzhe's accident, the Wang family was in chaos. After Wang Chengde wanted to arrange for Yao Yirou and Wen Xuan to go out to avoid trouble and find Lan Junchen to figure out where to go, Lan Junchen's mentality at that time should have been very complicated. On the one hand, he lamented the death of his friend, and on the other hand, he secretly rejoiced that Yirou had lost her support. That's why he ordered Lan Wu to pay attention to Wang Chengde's movements and take the opportunity to pick up the three of Yirou.

What he wants is to take the opportunity to take care of Yirou's mother and son, and have more contact with Yirou, even if he can't get the heart, he can have the opportunity to meet the beautiful woman from time to time.

This is indeed a flying disaster, or a disaster caused by beauty, Lan Yi doesn't know how to evaluate it.

Wang Chengde clenched his fist and slammed his head hard, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't asked the Lan family for divination, how would Lan Junchen know about this, and the eldest lady wouldn't have died because of this!" ”

Zhou Weiji comforted: "Uncle Wang, don't do this. Who would have guessed that Lan Junchen would have such an idea. Brother Zhang, Lan Junchen arranged for Lan Wu to pick up Wen Xuan's mother and son, but he harmed people's lives, and now he is still saying that he wants to hide it from Lan Junchen and instruct him to do this, who may be who? ”

Zhang Pingyu turned the wrench on his thumb and said slowly: "The current head of the Lan family, Lan Ruhai, is Lan Junchen's biological father, and he values Lan Junchen very much and cultivates him as the future head of the family. Lan Wu knew that his master had an indescribable mind about his sister-in-law, and he had always been wary and suspicious of his sister-in-law, so when Lan Junchen wanted to pick up the three sisters-in-law, he must have felt that bamboo's approach to his sister-in-law would do more harm than good, so out of concern for his master, he told Lan Ruhai about it from Lan Junchen. The one who ordered him to take away his sister-in-law and take the opportunity to kill his sister-in-law to prevent future troubles should be Lan Ruhai. ”

Zhang Pingyu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Even if Lan Wu's killing of his sister-in-law at that time was not Lan Ruhai's order but his personal act, now that he can take Lan Twelve and Lan Thirteen to catch Chun Tao together, it means that Lan Ruhai must know about it now." Lan Twelve and Lan Thirteen are the best players in the Lan family's dart masters, and they usually only obey the orders of the Lan family's master, even if it is Lan Junchen, it is difficult to call them lightly. ”

Zhang Pingyu's reasoning is rigorous, well-organized, and obviously his brain is very useful, from the fact that he will buy the cake house from himself to run it to the current scale, we know that his business talent is also very good, no wonder he was able to steal a lot of business from Wang Mingli after Wang Mingzhe's death.

Lan Yi then asked, "Second Master Zhang, how did you find out that the disappearance of the eldest lady is related to Lan Junchen?" ”

Zhang Pingyu recalled the past and sighed: "After my sister-in-law disappeared, Steward Wang was very anxious and asked people to look for him. After hearing this, I felt that this matter was strange, and sent Zhang Sheng and others to inquire about the news, and learned that Lan Wu had driven nearby that day, Lan Wu was very careful and did not leave any evidence, I asked Lan Junchen directly, Lan Junchen naturally said that this matter had nothing to do with him, but the attitude was a little strange. At that time, I only thought that he had taken my sister-in-law away and hid her, so I was very angry, and I found no trace of my sister-in-law after many inquiries and searches. ”

Therefore, his relationship with Lan Junchen later became stiff, and he had less contact.

Lan Yi looked at his father Wang Chengde, after Yirou's accident, he was falsely accused and locked up by Wang Tiangui within two days, and these news were not inquired. It had been too long since the father and son had been released from prison, and it had become more difficult to investigate, and it would be even more difficult to find out.

Wang Chengde stood up and saluted respectfully, "Thank you Second Master Zhang for your trouble." ”

Zhang Pingyu is a cold person, thinking that it is not about his own high temperament, he regards Wang Mingzhe as a close friend to be so concerned about the affairs of Yirou and Wenxuan.

Zhang Pingyu nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Although there is no evidence, I speculate that the Lan family should know the true identity of the sister-in-law, otherwise there would not be such a move now." ”

"The true identity of the eldest lady?" Yao Yirou was rescued from the river by Wang Mingzhe and said that she was just from a rich family and was killed by bandits when she went out with her parents, but there are too many things to hide.

Zhang Pingyu was also a little unsure, "Mrs. Sister-in-law's background must be extraordinary, and I have no way of knowing the specifics." Chun Tao, except for Mingzhe and Lian's mother, you are the person who has the most contact with his sister-in-law, and now that Mingzhe and Lian's mother are dead, others who want to find out about his sister-in-law's affairs will definitely start from you. If the identity of the sister-in-law is suspicious, it will bring a lot of hidden dangers to Wen Xuan and you, in my opinion, it is also the best policy for you to leave here with Wen Xuan, besides, the Wang family still has Wang Mingli, Wen Xuan is really inappropriate here. ”

After Zhang Pingyu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and took the tea and drank it slowly, and no longer spoke.

There was too much news in his words, and Lan Yi tried to consult: "Second Master Zhang, how do you think you should let Wang Mingli let go and stop insisting on adopting Wenxuan?" ”

Zhang Pingyu raised his eyes, looked at Lan Yi's sincere expression, thought about it and said slowly: "This person is narrow-minded, he values fame and fortune, it is not easy for him to let go, but you can consider starting from Tian Zhixian." ”R1152
