Chapter 83 is scattered by birds and beasts
Liu Ling and Xu Yun came to Feng Kaiyuan's mansion in the south of the city, which was very hidden, and the alley outside the mansion was sparsely populated, and it was like a world abyss with the noisy street market.
On the towering black lacquer gate of the Feng Mansion, white flowers tied out of white silk are tied, and two spirit-conjuring white flags are placed on each side of the door.
Two lanterns made of white paper swayed with the breeze blowing.
There should be a guard in front of the door, but it was empty.
The door was hidden, Xu Yun gently pushed it open, and a desolation came into view, and the entire verandah was full of white flags!
Liu Ling and Xu Yun followed the verandah and found the main courtyard where Feng Kaiyuan lived, which had a lot of space and a two-story main house.
The whole yard is not much different from the outside, except for the white flags, which are the banners and couplets.
The mourning hall is located in the main hall, and a large black lacquered coffin is placed in the center of the main hall.
Liu Ling was depressed, since he entered the door, he never saw a person appear, is there not a servant girl in this huge mansion?
And Mrs. Feng, the head of the family in this mansion, where did she go?
I heard that Feng Kaiyuan has a son and a daughter, his daughter is married, and his son is also married, and he has set up another mansion.
But Feng Kaiyuan has already returned to Huangquan, even if his wife is not here, then his daughter and son should also wear linen and filial piety in front of the mourning hall.
But this empty mourning hall is very confusing.
Although at this time, Feng Kaiyuan's body was still in the household department, as Feng Kaiyuan's family, even if they were ethereal, some rules always had to be done, and they could be regarded as doing it for others to see.
"Anyone? Is there anyone......" Liu Ling called a few times in succession, but no one answered, so he had to go up the stairs with Xu Yun to the second floor, the bedroom of Feng Kaiyuan and his wife.
Unexpectedly, the room was unbearable.
The bedding on the bed, the clothes in the wardrobe, and many other furnishings were all ripped to the floor, and it was a mess.
In the corner of the bed, there was a middle-aged woman dressed in white, lying on her back on the ground.
Liu Ling took a closer look, the middle-aged woman was very tall, more than forty, and still had some charm.
Xu Yun tried her nostrils, and a faint breath remained.
The two worked together to lift the middle-aged woman to the bed, and Liu Ling took out a few silver needles from his waist to prick her acupoints.
In less than a cup of tea, the middle-aged woman snorted softly and woke up.
The middle-aged woman saw the strange Liu Ling and Xu Yun, so she quickly sat up, pulled up the quilt to cover half of her face, stared at the two of them with a frightened gaze, and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it in my house? ”
Liu Ling replied: "We are ......"
The middle-aged woman interrupted Liu Lingdi's words: "Don't you also want to come to find that thing?" I tell you, I don't have anything here, and I never remember anything important that my lord had collected.
If you don't listen, your efforts will be in vain, so it's better to go outside and look for them quickly, and avoid a few detours. The middle-aged woman's body trembled a little.
Liu Ling sat in front of the bed and said in a soft tone: "Mrs. Feng, don't be afraid, we are not here to find something, I am a pretence, I just want to ask you a few questions." ”
"Foolishness? Are you from the government? Mrs. Feng tore off the quilt that covered half of her face, glanced at Liu Ling with a suspicious expression, and looked at Xu Yun again, "Didn't I tell you before, I don't know anything, and I never care about the master's affairs."
Besides, even if I wanted to care, how could the lord tell me something important to my wife's family? ”
Liu Ling continued to ask, "Who was the person who came to you to rummage through things before?" What the hell is that thing? Do you see what that man looks like? ”
Mrs. Feng adjusted her sitting posture and shook her head, trying to make herself more sober: "Early in the morning, a man in a cloak came, his head was lowered, and the cloak covered his entire face, and I couldn't see what he looked like at all.
As soon as I walked in the door, I asked what I wanted...... Oh, I remembered, it was a jade pendant carved with calligraphy and painting. If you want to talk about jade pendants, who doesn't have a few pieces, but what the person mentioned, I have never seen it, so let alone private collection.
When my lord was alive, although he never wanted to tell me about the big things in the officialdom, if there was anything important, he would usually let me handle it.
If there really is a jade pendant that looks exactly like what the man said, how could I not know? As a result, the man didn't trust my words at all, and had to rummage through the cabinets, but in the end he didn't find anything.
When the man was leaving, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he knocked me unconscious with one palm. ”
"Why are you alone in the whole courtyard, the servant of your mansion?"
Mrs. Feng sighed, and her tone was full of loss: "Be a bird and beast!" The master is gone, as if the sky is falling, and they, the house slaves who look down on people, immediately dissipate their hearts, and they no longer care about anything.
What's the use of me keeping them one by one? It is better to dismiss them all, and save me money to feed them. “
"And shouldn't your two children, along with their respective families, hold a vigil here?"
"They all have their own families, and they have to earn money to feed, anyway, the body of the master has not been sent by the government yet, rather than guarding an ethereal spirit here, it is better to do whatever it should be.
When the master comes home, it's not too late to let them come over to keep a vigil...... There is injustice in heaven, my lord is a good man, and he was killed by thieves like this, and your government must help me catch the murderer. As she spoke, Mrs. Feng hid her face and wept.
This kind of thing, Liu Ling knows that persuasion is useless, it is better to let her cry enough, and stop crying when she is tired.
However, Mrs. Feng's last words made Liu Ling immediately excited.
Feng Kaiyuan's case, whether it was his murder or suicide, even if it was the government, so far, the real cause of Feng Kaiyuan's death has not been written on the disaster text.
Not long after Feng Kaiyuan's body was discovered, the government came to inquire, hoping to find out many doubts and better determine the beginning and end of the case.
A case that has not been completely concluded, even they themselves are ambiguous, how can they tell Mrs. Feng.
And Mrs. Feng, how did she know that Feng Kaiyuan was killed by the murderer?
Liu Ling glanced at Mrs. Feng vigilantly, although between her eyebrows, sadness and fear could be seen, but it always made Liu Ling unspeakably uncomfortable.
Liu Ling looked at Mrs. Feng carefully again, whether it was her sadness or fear, it didn't seem to have that kind of hysterical feeling.
After all, she is the husband who has been with her for decades and has been with her for decades, and suddenly, without a little warning, people say that it is gone, as a wife, how can she bear it.
Not only that, but she also didn't let Feng Kaiyuan's only pair of children keep a guard in the mourning hall, and this decision didn't seem to be justified.
There is another point, the servants of the Feng Mansion fell into the well so quickly, the reaction speed was too fast, Feng Kaiyuan died, isn't there still a son who inherited the family business?
