The sun is setting. The top and bottom of Pan's Mansion were shrouded in haze, sinking like a rock, and as quiet as death.

Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda helped Pan Wen and others to deal with Pan Wu's aftermath. Liu Xunyi was alone and came to Pan Chuba's study.

Pushing the door in, the study was dim, as if no one was there, it was late but there was no light.

In the dimness, the mentally ill Pan Chuba sat alone in the corner, and in just a few hours, he seemed to be ten years old, and his originally shrewd and profound eyes became cloudy. The silver hair that is not messy is also messy at the moment. Lying on the body of the old dragon clock, his face is like stagnant water, like a withered body, and he has no spirit of the past at all.

"Senior ......"

Just experienced the pain of losing a child, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, which is undoubtedly a great change for Pan Chuba, who is over eighty years old. At this moment, even though Liu Xunyi has a thousand words, he is still pale and weak, and no matter how much comfort he has, it is like chewing wax for Pan Chuba, which is meaningless.

"Dick...... Send it away?" Pan Chuba's faint voice trembled, and his tone contained great grief, which made Liu Xunyi's heart suddenly welled up with all kinds of feelings, so uncomfortable.

"Gone. Liu Xunyi forced himself to be calm and said softly, "Senior, you ......"

"Pear blossom scattering. Pan Chuba stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed to a small pile of white medicinal powder on the table, and choked weakly, "The second daughter-in-law is really ruthless, and she would give this kind of poisonous ...... to a man who has been sleeping with him for decades."

"Senior, rest assured, someone has been sent to find it. Even if he finds the ends of the earth, he will definitely bring the second lady back and give an explanation in front of the second master Pan. Liu Xunyi said.

"How do you find it?" Pan Chuba said bitterly, "What if you cut her with a thousand knives......?"

"People can't be resurrected after death, so please mourn your predecessors. Liu Xunyi soothed with kind words, then changed his words and hesitated, "There is another thing, when we went to look for the second lady just now, we found ...... Pan Chungongzi is also gone. ”

"I was taken away by the second daughter-in-law!" Pan Chuba didn't seem surprised by this, he shook his head and sneered, "Both cups of tea are poisonous, the second daughter-in-law is willing to kill her own man, but she is reluctant to kill her son after all." She deliberately took Pan Chun away to detoxify him in time. She expected that she would not be able to hide it, so she ...... Feared sin and fled...... I should have expected this day, I should have expected that the second child would be planted in the hands of this woman sooner or later......"

Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that there are other hidden secrets in this matter?"

Pan Chuba smiled bitterly, and two lines of old tears also flowed out of the corners of his eyes, as if muttering to himself: "It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, and I have endured it again and again for this sentence, but I didn't expect to kill my son in the end......"

Looking at Pan Chuba's painful appearance, Liu Xunyi really couldn't bear to expose his scars again, and wanted to persuade him with good words, but Pan Chuba suddenly said indignantly: "The second daughter-in-law is ...... to Pan Wu Unfaithful!"

"What?" Liu Xunyi was shocked.

"This woman has long been separated from the Pan family, if it weren't for the greed for the family business, she would have abandoned Pan Wu a long time ago. Pan Chuba ignored Liu Xunyi's reaction, and sighed to himself, "She and Li Laohu are not clear, it's not been a day or two." She thought she was hiding this matter seamlessly, but in fact, I already knew that I had secretly sent someone to check her details, and it turned out that she was already Li Laohu's concubine before marrying Pan Wu, and she clearly had a plan to marry into the Pan family......

Liu Xunyi didn't want to inquire about other people's family affairs, but now that Pan Wu was poisoned under his nose, if he didn't ask the truth, it would be really difficult to solve the depression in his heart, so he asked: "That...... Does Second Master Pan know about this?"

"He didn't mention it, but I think he should have known a little bit about it in the past two years. Pan Chuba choked up and said, "The second child used to be a bold and cheerful person, and he was also deeply affectionate and loved this woman in every way. But in the past two years, he suddenly changed his sex, and he couldn't help but become silent, depressed all day long, and even the woman who regarded him as a pearl became extremely cold, and even ...... Abhor. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi finally understood why Pan Wu was still kind to others, but he kept frowning coldly at his wife, and even punched and kicked at every turn. Liu Xunyi thought that Pan Wu was naturally eccentric, and even faintly complained for Ding Cui. Now that I think about it, it should be Pan Wu's deep love, so he hates it.

What man in the world can tolerate the infidelity of a woman he loves in every possible way? Not only is he unfaithful, but he also pretends to be a pretentious person all day long, but in fact he has hidden evil intentions and other schemes.

"In that case, why does the Pan family still keep her? Why didn't Second Master Pan ...... her with a letter of resignation?"

"Why don't I want this?" Pan Chuba shook his head and said, "But I can't do this, whether it's for the reputation of the Pan family or for Pan Wu's face, I can't pierce this layer of window paper...... I wanted to wait for Pan Wu to speak by himself, but he didn't say a word about it, obviously aggrieved, but he always pretended not to know. He himself chooses to forbear, what can I do as a father? Do I have to tell him to his face that his daughter-in-law is another man's concubine? In the final analysis, in addition to the reputation of the Pan family and the second child, Pan Wu is more or less in his heart...... I still can't let her go......"

Although this matter sounds a little unreasonable, it is not unreasonable when you think about it.

As the saying goes: the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. In fact, the authorities are sometimes not confused, and even understand better than bystanders. But because he understands, he knows that he still has a thousand concerns. And these concerns can never be understood by others. Therefore, the authorities have to continue to pretend to be confused.

"It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it......" Pan Chuba smiled bitterly, "I thought Ding Cui was just greedy for money, but I didn't expect her to take the life of the second child......" As for this, Pan Chuba suddenly felt sad from his heart, and actually hid his face in front of Liu Xunyi and cried bitterly.

"That Pan Chun Gongzi ......"

"It's true that Pan Chun is her son, but I have also doubted whether he is the flesh and blood of my Pan family. After all, Pan Chun's appearance and personality are very different from Yun'er and Yuyin. Most of the children and grandchildren of the Pan family are handsome, well-behaved and sensible, but Pan Chun is naturally ugly and arrogant...... But this matter is not trivial, I have to consider Pan Wu's feelings, so although I have doubts, I have not investigated it after all, and have always treated him as my own grandson. I thought to myself, no matter how his mother is, the children are innocent. Pan Chuba was in tears, crying bitterly, "But now I want to come...... Pan Chun may not be the heir of the second child, but the evil seed of that woman and Li Laohu...... Otherwise, even if this woman is thinking about the child's affection, she will definitely not do this to the child's father. ”

"This ......"

Liu Xunyi was overwhelmed by too many unexpected news, he felt that his mind was blank, and he had no way to deal with the intricate emotional entanglements of Pan Wu, Ding Cui, and Pan Chun's family, as well as the unbelievable messy relationship, and only the word "terrible" emerged for a while. I secretly sighed in my heart that if people living under the same roof intrigue with each other, it would be more terrifying than the swords and swords in the rivers and lakes.

At this point, Liu Xunyi didn't know what to say, so he could only stand in the room in a daze, looking at the old man in front of him with pity, but he had been repeatedly frustrated in just a few days, and he was lonely and desolate.

"Senior, since I know that this matter has a lot to do with Li Laohu, then I am willing to take a trip to the East Lake Gang for you......"

Pan Chuba looked at Liu Xunyi, who was full of murderous intent, and a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but after all, he slowly shook his head and said: "Liu Shaoxia's kind old man understands it, but at the moment, the Pan family is in danger, so before settling the grievances with the Qin family, I don't want to make trouble." As for Li Laohu, not to mention whether you can break into the Donghu Gang single-handedly, even if you can capture him, if he refuses to admit it to the death, we have no evidence, what can we do with him? What's more, if you want to move him in Yingchuan, it is tantamount to making enemies of the Donghu Gang and the many gangs under its command, and even the Yingchuan government. Whether it is you or the Pan family at the moment, we are far from being able to afford this consequence. ”

"Could it be that Second Master Pan's death is just like that?"

"It's his life, and it's mine. Pan Chuba's eyes said grimly, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will be a poisonous woman and avenge my son, but ...... Not now. ”

"Senior ......"

"You guys will leave for Luoyang tomorrow!" Pan Chuba waved his hand to interrupt Liu Xunyi's words, and said bluntly, "You will forward this letter to the lord of Luofu for me." ”

After that, Pan Chuba took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xunyi, and instructed: "Please tell the lord of Luofu that next year's affairs will be as before." The ten-year battle between the Pan and Qin families will be held in Shaolin as scheduled. At that time, I hope he can come to Shaolin in person and administer justice for my Pan family. ”

"I'll pass it on. Liu Xunyi nodded heavily, "It's just ...... Now that the Pan family has just suffered misfortune, how can we leave at this time?"

"Pan Wu's aftermath is handled by Pan Wen, which is enough. Now he can neither take revenge nor publicize it, but can only say to outsiders that Pan Wu was suddenly ill and died violently. Therefore, it is useless for you to stay, so it is better to leave Yingchuan, the land of right and wrong, as soon as possible!"

"Senior, I don't expect Li Laohu to have such courage, there must be something else hidden in this matter. What's more, now that Second Master Pan and Young Master Pan Chun are gone, only Mr. He is the head of the dart left, who should be sent to fight the Qin family next year......"

"Let's go!" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to finish speaking, Pan Chuba waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have my own measure in this matter, and I won't bother Liu Shaoxia." I'm going to keep a vigil for the second child tonight, and now I want to rest for a while, Liu Shaoxia, please go out! Tell Miss Luo and Lin Shaoxia that they don't have to come to ask for their resignation again. On the first day of March next year, I met them in Shaolin. ”

After that, without waiting for Liu Xunyi to speak again, Pan Chuba had slowly closed his eyes. And at the moment when he closed his eyes, two lines of hot tears once again irrepressibly slid down his old cheeks and quietly slid down.

"Take care of the seniors, and the juniors ...... Say goodbye first!"

Liu Xunyi took a deep look at Pan Chuba, whose face was like ashes, then sighed and retreated. After he went out, he gently closed the door, leaving a quiet space for Pan Chuba to "heal" alone.

"Looking for clothes?" Luo Ningyu came to meet him and asked with a worried expression, "Pan Baye, ...... Just now, I discussed with Lin Fangda, because we will go back to Luoyang tomorrow, so tonight we want to keep a vigil for Second Uncle Pan, and show a little affection, do you want to join us?"

"Nope. Liu Xunyi casually refused with a serious expression. At the same time, a chill suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he muttered meaningfully, "I want to rest well tonight, you ...... Don't bother me!"

After that, without waiting for Luo Ningyu to ask, Liu Xunyi had quickly disappeared from her suspicious sight.
