Chapter 49: Sudden Death

Xia Yue did not escape the war in the end, and the three people who had a dispute came to him for evaluation with two heads.

"Your Excellency, you say. Should tofu brain be sweet or salty? Is coriander fragrant or not? ”

Master Xia, the master of Duanshui, said calmly: "I don't know if I haven't eaten it and I'm not interested, in fact, I'm an immortal, and I don't eat your mortal food." ”

Xia Yue finished speaking and left.

Ye Caitang was very speechless and muttered: "I can't see it, the adult is still an arrogant person." ”

Wang Tong didn't understand and asked: "What does tsundere mean?" ”

Liu Sha's reading comprehension score is 100 points: "It's arrogant and proud." ”

"No, no, no." Ye Caitang shook his finger: "It's arrogant and coquettish." ”

Xia Yue never expected that he would be this image in Ye Caitang's heart, and he was so frightened that he almost fell.

Ye Caitang further explained: "This person, in front of people who love themselves, just likes tsundere. ”

Xia Yue didn't want to be the first official in Daliang to kill his subordinates on the street, so he could only swallow his anger, he tried his best to recall the Ye Ming he had seen before, Ye Ming was a very normal person, why was his daughter so unreliable.

Yao Haifeng's wives and concubines have no place to be coquettish.

The Yao family began to prepare for the funeral, unlike Lin Ling, this was a very grand funeral that was inevitable, and the entire house began to hang white silk, silent and busy.

Intermittent cries came from the house, I heard that someone from the six doors was coming, and the current head of the Yao family, Yao Haifeng's eldest son Yao Weisong, hurriedly greeted him with the housekeeper.

Yao Weisong is less than 30 this year, dressed in white, and the tears on his face have not dried.

Yao Haifeng died, he was the one who cried the most sincerely, the one who cried the most justifiably, and the one who cried the most happily.

In the future, he will be the master of the Yao family.

Yao Weisong brought everyone to the mourning hall, and there was a coffin parked in the mourning hall, but Yao Haifeng was not in the coffin.

In the mourning hall, kneeling Yao Haifeng's wives and concubines, ranging from thirty or forty to ten or twenty, although they were all dressed in filial piety clothes and did not apply fat powder, they were all very beautiful, and Ye Caitang, who was watching, shook his head.

Xia Yue said that Yao Haifeng's body has always been tough, and it is not easy to have so many wives and concubines who are still tough.

The deceased is the greatest, Xia Yue first walked the process and put on incense, said that the festival mourning was smooth, and Yao Weisong returned the salute. Only then did he whisper: "My lord, my father's body is in the back room, because my mother insists that someone seems to have murdered him, so he has not yet been buried." ”

Speaking of which, Xia Yue looked at the mourning hall: "I didn't see Mrs. Yao, she ......"

"My mother was so sad that she cried for half the night, and now she is resting in her room." Yao Weisong said: "If the adults want to see it, I will order the girl to call." ”

Xia Yue thought for a while: "Let's take a look at Ling Zun's body first, and let Old Madam Yao rest for a while without worry." ”

Yao Weisong thanked him again and again.

He stepped aside, lifted the curtain, and led the men into the back hall.

Yao Haifeng lay in the back hall, silent. He didn't change his clothes, and he was still wearing sleeping clothes, which coincided with the time of his death, and he should have just woken up while sleeping.

Xia Yue said: "You tell me about Ling Zun's situation at that time carefully. ”

Yao Weisong nodded and said, "It's today, and everyone hasn't woken up yet." Father stayed in Aunt Eight's house last night. ”

Bai Yue's brows twisted, and he didn't know if this eighth aunt was the last aunt, and it was not easy for Yao Weisong.

Yao Weisong said: "According to the eighth aunt, my father suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, as if he had a nightmare, and when he woke up, he was covered in a cold sweat. ”

Then she said that she wanted to drink water, and the eighth aunt went to pour water, and her father also got up and walked over, covering her heart and showing a very uncomfortable look, and the eighth aunt looked scared, so she helped her father sit at the table and drink water, and she went out to call people.

"But before she could leave, my father fell, and she cried out, and when we arrived, he was no longer breathing."

Ye Caitang stood beside Yao Haifeng, looking at his corpse.

Xia Yue said: "When Ling Zun passed away, was this the case? Have you sorted it out? ”

"It's not." Yao Weisong pointed with some coldness: "When we rushed over, my father was lying on the ground, and the kettle on the table was overturned, and it was full of water. His face was distorted and he was completely breathless, and his mouth and eyes were open. The doctor came to see and said that his father was scared to death. ”

Xia Yue frowned slightly: "Why don't you wait for the government to come and move the body without permission?" ”

A lot of clues, with such a move, are gone.

Yao Weisong hurriedly explained: "That's the case, my father has said that he feels a little uncomfortable these days, but when he asks the doctor to see it, he can't see anything." When there was an accident last night, I immediately asked the doctor to come and see it, and the doctor said that it was a sudden death from heart disease, and there was nothing unusual. We all thought it was an accident......"

Yao Haifeng is at this age, not big or small, although he is healthy, but he is immersed in women, he is more than fifty people, and the concubines of fifteen or sixteen still enter the door one after another, not to mention outsiders, even if they are family members, they will inevitably mumble.

It's just that he is the head of the family, but if Mrs. Zhengfang is not so tough and can't speak, what can others say.

Yao Haifeng is a son, even if he is unhappy for his mother, there is no room to speak.

Xia Yue said: "Then why do you want to report to the official?" ”

The doctor that the Yao family can invite will not be bad, even if he can't invite the imperial doctor in the palace, he is also one of the best masters.

Yao Weisong said: "On the one hand, my mother insisted on reporting the case, and she said that her father was killed. ”

A wry smile appeared on Yao Weisong's face: "Mother said that my father has always been in good health, and occasional palpitations are not a serious illness. How could it be that he died suddenly, he must have been killed. ”

It sounds like a woman who loves her husband deeply, because she has been hit by a huge blow, and she is overly grieved.

There is no evidence.

Xia Yue frowned and said, "Ling Tang is so insistent, is there any other reason besides Ling Zun's consistent health?" ”

Xia Yue's words were inevitably a little reproachful, the six doors had been quite busy, and if they just guessed, it would be a waste of their time. If you really want to suspect anyone, you can go to the yamen to report the case.

Unexpectedly, Yao Weisong said: "Yes." ”

He looked outside, asked the butler to go out first, and mysteriously took out a cloth bag of a handkerchief from his bosom, opened the handkerchief, and inside was a yellow rune paper folded into a triangle.

"This dead character was found in my father's study." Yao Weisong said: "After my father passed away, there were many things to arrange in the family's business, so I went to his study to get the Yao family's palm print, and accidentally saw this yellow charm in a book. ”

The yellow talisman was stacked into a triangle, but it had been dismantled, and now it was only concealed. Yao Weisong opened the yellow talisman, and there was a blood-red dead character on it.

Yao Weisong said: "My father has always not believed in these things, and he will not ask God to repay his vows, I don't understand how he can have yellow charms in his study." But this yellow charm doesn't prove anything, and it can't be said that my father was cursed to death, which is ridiculous. ”

Yao Haifeng doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, obviously Yao Weisong doesn't believe it.

But Yao Weisong's mother is different, trapped in a deep house, not believing in anything, it is really difficult to support a long and lonely life.

Yao Weisong said: "It is also because of this that I agreed to report the case. But it's easy to panic, and I haven't told anyone but adults, not even my mother and the housekeeper. ”
