Chapter 91: Suspicion (Part II)
Mu Yuncheng left the inn early in the morning, accompanied by Chu Shui Yu, but Mu Yuncheng arranged for her to go to the major pharmacies in Lezhu Mansion to inquire to see if anyone had bought eggplants in the past few days, and to write down all the people who bought them one by one, so as not to omit anything.
And he himself has an even more difficult task.
There are two places where there is the most gossip on the rivers and lakes, one is a restaurant, and the other is a teahouse. Sure enough, just after midnight, a group of idlers gathered in the teahouse.
"Did you hear that? The second son of the Ai family died last night!"
"I know, that Ai Yuyi is the head of our Lezhu Mansion, who do you say is so capable that he can kill him in Ai Mansion?"
can't blame this group of people for gossiping, there are no major events happening in Lezhu Mansion on weekdays, and the Ai family plays a pivotal role in Lezhu Mansion. Once this kind of thing happens, it will be big news for them.
"In my opinion......" The man immediately lowered his voice and whispered: "It is the master found by the disbanded Black Scorpion Gang to avenge the eldest brother." ”
No matter how small his voice was, Mu Yuncheng was back to back with him, and with a slight movement of his ears, he heard these words clearly.
"No, their eldest brother, the eight-tailed sand scorpion, was arrested by Ai Yuyi back then. ”
"Eight-tailed sand scorpion?" Hearing this, Mu Yuncheng stood up suddenly, turned to the two behind him, squinted and smiled: "Two big brothers, can you tell me about the matter between Ai Yuyi and the Black Scorpion Gang?"
What I want to inquire about is the story of the Black Scorpion Gang.
The two turned their faces, and the three of them were all shocked when they met, these two people were none other than the two people who were beaten by Chu Shui Yu at the inn the day before yesterday.
"It's you!" Seeing that it was Mu Yuncheng, the two of them were so frightened that they knocked down the teacups in front of them, and hurriedly got up and looked around carefully to see if Chu Shuiyu was nearby.
"Don't worry, that girl isn't here. Mu Yuncheng sat down on the side, smiled and said to the two of them.
The two looked at Mu Yuncheng suspiciously, and slowly sat back in place.
"I just heard the two of you talk about the matter between the Black Scorpion Gang and Ai Fu in the back, can you tell me what grievances have happened between them?" Although these two people were afraid of Chu Shui rumors, they didn't hate Mu Yuncheng, seeing him smiling and groaning, one of them sipped his mustache in his hand, and gently took a sip of tea and said: "This Black Scorpion Gang has never heard of it in Lezhu Mansion before, but it became famous because of an arson case, so it was wanted by Lezhu Mansion, and in the end, their eldest brother seemed to have been caught by Ai Yuyi, but he died in prison." ”
"Oh, do you know whose house the Black Scorpion Gang fire burned?"
The black mole man gently pushed Mu Yuncheng down, and said in an extremely small voice: "It's the fire in Aifu, otherwise you can desperately destroy the Black Scorpion Gang!"
"Ah, that's right. "It seems that this so-called Black Scorpion Gang did have a grudge against Aifu. Ai Jianzhang once told himself that the jade jue at the gate of his treasure house was split into three pieces after a major event, thinking about whether it was because of this incident.
He had already thought about it in his heart, then nodded at the two of them, got up and arched his hand: "Thank you two, I still have something to do, so I won't bother much, let's take the first step." ”
Out of the teahouse, Mu Yuncheng actually went straight to Aifu.
When he went out before, he had already instructed Ye Feiyu that if Chu Shui Yu went back first, he would let the two of them go to Aifu to find him together.
But he did not take the main gate, but took a detour from the back and entered Aifu through the side door. He came to Ai Mansion yesterday, and some of the people recognized him, and the affairs in the second young master's mansion were heavy, so no one stopped him when he entered the mansion through the side door.
Yesterday, there were still singing and dancing, and Ai Fu, which was staggered, is now hanging high and lifeless.
The front hall is a mourning hall, and Ai Yuyi's body is displayed. Needless to say, I also know that Aifu must have been sleepless all night.
In the year of Ai Jianzhang's destiny, this time the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, how not to be heartbroken, and the old tears were rampant.
Ai Yuli and Zhao Fei's white eyes had turned into walnuts, but they were still howling.
And the eldest brother Ai Yuren, who has a disabled leg, has to shoulder the heavy burden at this time and take care of the affairs of the whole house.
Mu Yuncheng, who had circled the house, walked back to the front yard at this time, only to see him straighten his clothes, and then walked towards the hall.
Seeing that it was Mu Yuncheng coming, Ai Yuren bowed his hand and asked: "Mu Gongzi also knows all about yesterday's events, and now everyone in my house is panicked, and my father and brother are all in turmoil. He also had tears on his face, even if he was strong, he was not able to resist the pain of losing his brother.
"Brother Ai, Yun Cheng didn't dare to add to the chaos, today is here to mourn the deceased, and secondly, to relieve Shibo, so that he can be freed from this great grief earlier. Mu Yuncheng said, Ai Yuren nodded and turned around, inviting him to enter the front hall.
There is no brazier incense case in the hall, it seems that the revenge has not been avenged, and the grudge in the heart is difficult to reconcile, and there is no face to comfort the deceased.
"Ishber. Mu Yuncheng called softly, Ai Jianzhang looked up at Mu Yuncheng, and reluctantly opened his mouth, but he was full of grief: "Virtuous nephew ......" I couldn't say any more with only these two words.
Mu Yuncheng glanced around, but didn't see Feng Zhi and Huang Xin, so he asked the others: "Where are the two senior brothers Feng Huang?"
When Zhao Feibai heard this, he stopped sobbing and raised his eyes and replied, "I am still being interrogated in the side hall." ”
"Oh......" He nodded in a low voice, and then suddenly asked in a loud voice towards Ai Jianzhang, "Can Shibo let me see the Purple Frost Xuanjian stored in the treasure house?"
His voice was so loud that everyone around him was startled, and they all set their eyes on him. But Mu Yuncheng was calm and composed, and repeated loudly: "Let's go to the treasure house where the Purple Frost Xuanjian is placed and take a look!"
"This ......" Ai Jianzhang suddenly remembered that he had promised Mu Yuncheng yesterday, and today he opened the treasure house for him and took out the Purple Frost Xuanjian to take a look. So he thought that Mu Yuncheng was only here for this matter, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but because he did have something to say first, he couldn't say anything.
"Mu Gongzi, even if you want to see the Purple Frost Xuanjian again, you have to wait for us to finish the current matter! My brother's revenge has not been avenged, and we really don't have the strength to do other things, if Gongzi has nothing else to do, please go back early!" But Ai Yuren politely refused for his father.
Mu Yuncheng didn't think so, and bowed to Ai Jianzhang again: "Shibo, I just need to take a look at the Purple Frost Xuanjian." ”
"Mu Gongzi, please go back. Ai Yuren flicked one arm, and he had already given the order to evict the guest.
"Well, that's it. Ren'er and Li'er use your jade jue. Seeing Mu Yuncheng's insistence, Ai Jianzhang had to order his two sons to take out their respective jades.
Ai Yuren sighed helplessly, so he had to hand the jade jue in his arms to the third child, Ai Yuli, and Ai Yuli handed over his jade jue to his father.
Then the old housekeeper of Ai Mansion took out the jade jue on Ai Yuyi's body, combined the three pieces of jade jue into one, and handed it to the housekeeper: "You take your nephew to the treasure house to have a look." ”
Listening to his words, he asked the housekeeper to take Mu Yuncheng to see it.
But Mu Yuncheng shook his head and said, "What's the point of me going to see it alone?"
