When Yan Zhenting saw Yan Qi's expression, he couldn't help but feel cowardly in his heart and stood in place. He turned around and looked at the martial arts heroes and said, "Uncles, uncles, little nephews are young. Please make your own decisions for me. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground.

Zhang Tianshi stood up, his sleeves flicked, and a soft internal force lifted him up. Then he said slowly: "Nephew Yan Xian, the old Taoist will make the decision for you, and you will put your heart in your stomach." Saying that, he looked at Yan Qi and said, "Yan Guan's family, dare to ask where Brother Chongxiao is now?" On that day, the ghost door took hostages, but there was no trace of Yan Chongxiao, and the Yan family did not invite themselves to see him again, so he was also suspicious.

Yan Qi said: "The old gang leader was placed in the ancestral hall of the back mountain by me. Zhang Tianshi said: "This is very good, Lao Dao wants to go and see him again, I don't know if the housekeeper can lead the way?" Yan Qi said: "This ......" Zhang Tianshi stared at the other party with a pair of eyes and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

Yan Qi said: "It's just that the eldest lady's bones are not cold now, and she also asks the Heavenly Master to find out the truth, as for visiting my master, I will wait until this matter is agreed." Zhang Tianshi said: "In the eyes of Poor Dao, Brother Chongxiao's life seems to be more important, and we will make a decision on this matter when we see him." Didn't Brother Xiao also say that he wanted to investigate Mrs. Wang's death, and Brother Chongxiao agreed. ”

Yan Qi frowned, groaned slightly, and said, "It's okay, but now that the master is recuperating, I'm afraid I won't see too many people." I thought that I could only invite the three of Heavenly Master, Supreme Master, and Xiao Daxia to come over. The second lady Jian and the third lady Ning did not follow, and said in unison: "Can't even we see the master?" The third son of the Yan family also said: "Can't even we see our father?"

Yan Qi said: "It's not that Yan Qi is overstepping, but that the master treats me very well, and at this time, neither the lady nor the son can see me." Qunhao present also felt that Yan Qi's words were unkind. Jin Wancai, the younger brother of Jin Wanliang of Jin Yutang, said disdainfully: "The Yan official family has done this, right?"

Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother Jin, the Yan official family is right to do this. Now that Brother Chongxiao is sick, what will happen if he can't keep it. It's always good to be cautious. When he said the word "change", his tone seemed to be deliberately aggravated so that people could understand.

Jin Wancai's mind was lively, and immediately the meaning of his words was not interrupted. Those who wanted to be upset in the crowd also figured out this layer, so they had to rot the words they were going to say in their stomachs.

Yan Qi said: "Eldest son, you and guard the eldest lady, let me wait until I am done to discuss." As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd. The group of heroes also knew their own interest and dispersed one after another. Even though Jane and Ning had resentment in their hearts, it was inconvenient for them to attack, because the two of them knew that if they wanted to take the property, they had to entrap this person.

In the wing room of the ancestral hall, Yan Qi invited three people to visit. Yan Qi walked to the side of the bed and put a flower python soft pillow behind Yan Chongxiao and asked him to lean on it. Yan Chongxiao couldn't speak, but his eyes showed joy. Zhang Tianshi sat on the edge of the bed, held his hand and said sadly: "Alas, I can't imagine that your brother is a hero, but he ended up in such a miserable situation. ”

Yan Chongxiao's eyes flowed with tears, and Zhang Tianshi also had tears in his eyes. Zhang Tianshi said slowly: "Brother, you can't speak now, you must not be confused in your heart, right?" Yan Chongxiao's eyes blinked. Zhang Tianshi stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said, "Since your illness, a lot of big things have happened to the Chishui Gang. If I say it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. ”

Yan Chongxiao made a whining sound in his mouth, as if he was signaling the other party to say it directly. Zhang Tianshi hesitated and said slowly: "That day, the Ghost Xiangmen attacked the welcome fleet, and the seven helmsmen under your seat all died unfortunately. Yan Chongxiao blinked, his eyes showed sadness, and then he whined as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Zhang Tianshi was puzzled, but Xiao Yunfan guessed his thoughts and said, "Old Gang Leader Yan wants to ask the Gang Leader Xiahou?" Yan Chongxiao blinked. Xiao Yunfan sighed: "He is also harmed by people. Yan Chongxiao's eyes widened, and his mouth made a whining sound, and his chest rose and fell. After a long time, I burst into tears.

Zhang Tianshi couldn't bear to continue, Yan Chongxiao blinked, as if he could bear it. Xiao Yunfan looked at Zhang Tianshi, and then at Master Zhishan, who wanted to speak and stopped. Master Zhishan said slowly: "Yan Jushi, you and Lao Wei had an early relationship, and I respect you as a person. When something like this happened in your family, the old man also deeply regretted it.

There is a way that the red world is as good as possible, and the past is empty. You have reached such an age, and you have experienced this life and death, you must have seen it through. If you see through this common thing, your heart will be unhindered. ”

Yan Chongxiao seemed to understand the mystery of the Supreme Master's words, and his eyes blinked again. Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother Yan, let's not hide it, we are here to tell you a more urgent matter today, and this matter needs your approval before we can act." It is said that this is your family matter, and we are inconvenient to ask, but it is related to the inheritance of your Chishui Gang, so ......"

Yan Chongxiao still whimpered a few times in his mouth, motioning for him to continue. Zhang Tianshi said: "Your eldest lady hanged herself last night, this matter is very strange. We speculate that it has something to do with your second or third room, no matter what the result is, it will be ugly, I really can't bear it, and then stick a knife in your heart. If you let us check, then Brother Xiao will check it. If you don't allow it, we won't check it.

Now you cannot speak, but your eyes move. The heart is also as clear as a mirror, let us check, you just blink twice, if you don't let us check, you blink. ”

After Zhang Tianshi finished speaking, the eyes of the three of them fell on Yan Chongxiao's face, waiting for him to blink. After a while, he blinked, and Zhang Tianshi said, "Okay, we know what you mean, we won't ask about this matter anymore." As soon as his words fell, Yan Chongxiao blinked again.

Xiao Yunfan said: "Old Gang Leader Yan, what you mean is understood. I'll be sure to get to the bottom of the matter so I can give you an explanation. Zhang Tianshi sighed and said, "Brother, this is ...... It's hard for you. ”

Xiao Yunfan thought for a while and said, "Senior Zhang, Master Zhishan, now that the junior has received the approval of Old Yan's gang leader, then I will go and investigate." Zhang Tianshi said: "It's okay, you can go." Xiao Yunfan turned around and pushed the door out.

Yan Chongxiao whined twice, as if to stop Xiao Yunfan. Xiao Yunfan walked outside the door, and Yan Qi also followed. Xiao Yunfan said: "Yan Guan's family, there are two seniors here to take care of it, you can rest assured." You can also see what the old gang leader means, so please come and help me investigate. Yan Qi was surprised: "Me?"

Xiao Yunfan said slowly: "Yes, this Chishui Gang is inside and outside, and you are most familiar with the housekeeper." If I want to investigate this matter, I still have to help me from the side. Yan Qi arched his hand and said: "Okay, for the sake of the Chishui Gang, I will definitely do my best to help Xiao Daxia." "97 Chinese

Outside the hall, there were many Chishui Gang disciples standing guard, each wearing a filial piety cloth with a solemn expression on their faces. In the mourning hall, Pei's face was covered with white gauze and he was lying on a wooden bed. Xiao Yunfan knew that Tingyun was careful, so he asked her to help.

He first glanced at the purple bruise on the deceased's neck, then reached out to remove the gauze and looked at the other person's face, holding back the acid water that ran down his throat. I saw Pei's eyes bulging out, bloodshot, purple lips, and purple-black tongue.

Xiao Yunfan glanced at the deceased's face, which was still covered with a cloth, and then examined her hands and feet.

Listen to the clouds and place a basin on the ground, then pour hot water. Xiao Yunfan grabbed a handful of soap powder and rubbed his hands vigorously. Tingyun asked, "Big brother, what did you see from this lady's corpse?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "The bruise on her neck, coupled with her death, looks like she hanged herself, but she didn't commit suicide, but was killed first, and then hung on the beam." Tingyun asked, "How did the eldest brother know?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "First, there is not much dust on the soles of the embroidered shoes on her feet, and the eldest lady's room is some way away from this mourning hall, how can the soles of her shoes be so clean? Isn't it strange that the beams of the house were two feet from the ground, to say the least, but when they found her, there was no ladder?"

Tingyun said: "Yes, there is still a little strange thing about you saying this. The Yan family's funeral is a white matter, why did this lady commit suicide in a red dress? It really doesn't make sense. Xiao Yunfan said: "There is a problem I haven't figured out at the moment, the mourning hall is in front, the inner hall is in the back, and there is only a patio in the middle.

There were ponds outside the walls on the east and west sides of the patio, and even if the thieves wanted to move her body into the inner courtyard, they would have to walk through the front mourning hall instead of leaving the pond. If the body is carried through the pond, it will inevitably leave water stains

If it is even more impossible to walk through the mourning hall, the mourning hall is guarded all night, and if you have to carry a corpse through it, the person who guards the spirit must not find out. How the hell did the killer get the body here?"

Tingyun said: "Big brother, you found out the suspicion from the deceased, why don't you find it from the motive of the murderer?" Xiao Yunfan said: "You mean to find it from the two ladies?" Tingyun nodded.

Xiao Yunfan said: "I have considered what you said, I have asked the second lady, the third lady, including the person who kept the vigil that night, and the maid who found the body, as well as the three sons of the Yan family. They all have alibis.

Judging from the death of the eldest lady, they want to compete for the family property, which is naturally beneficial to the second and third ladies. But if you look carefully, if the second lady kills someone, once it is found out, then the third lady will definitely benefit in the end. In the same way, the third lady would not take this risk.

Even if they kill people, the target should be the eldest son Yan Zhenting, he is the sister-in-law of the Yan family, and when the old man Yan dies, he is likely to sit on the throne of the helper. So it's not that simple. ”

Hearing Yun Xiu's eyebrows, she frowned and asked, "Big brother, then the Yan official family is not suspicious?" Xiao Yunfan said: "He went to see a mysterious person that night, and it was also this mysterious person who handed over Old Man Yan to him." So he also has this alibi. ”

Listening to Yun Dao: "Isn't this his side of the story?" Xiao Yunfan: "No, he showed me a letter, I know the handwriting on the letter, and I also know who the mysterious person is, so he didn't lie." The two walked out of the mourning hall and returned to the wing.

Tingyun picked up the pot of tea and poured a cup. Sitting across from him, he asked, "Big brother, you said that these people have alibi, so that means that these people can be ruled out of suspicion?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "It's only temporary." ”

Tingyun said: "None of these people killed anyone, could it be that this lady killed herself herself?" Xiao Yunfan almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and said with a smile: "That's even more impossible." Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have figured out something.

At this time, Shui Hanyan walked into the house, and Tingyun got up and saluted, "The water girl is here." Shui Hanyan nodded, and then said, "Listen to Miss Yun, I have a few words to say to Brother Xiao." Tingyun immediately understood and said, "Oh, that's right, big brother." I'm going to the moonset. He turned and walked out the door.

Xiao Yunfan looked at Shui Hanyan and smiled, "Sit down, Sister Yan." Shui Hanyan sat down, looked at him, saw that he was tired on his face, and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't seem to have slept well these days." Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, it is indeed very troublesome to fight with people like the Ghost Xiangmen all day long. How about you, how have you been lately?"

It turned out that Jiang Hanyue had always been unaccustomed to seeing Shui Hanyan and Xiao Yunfan interacting, so she was restrained everywhere. But after the incident of the ghost Xiangmen, she could see that Xiao Yunfan's status was very important, not only was he extremely prestigious in the eyes of the heroes, but even the two heads of the Dajue Temple and the Zhengyi Sect were also very interested in him. Shui Hanyan is already good friends with him, and if this relationship can be maintained, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

When Shui Hanyan mentioned again to see Xiao Yunfan, she did not refuse. Shui Hanyan is kind by nature, and he has no feelings for Xiao Yunfan. Xin knew that Xiao Yunfan had been decadent and depressed recently, so he wanted to talk to him.

Shui Hanyan nodded, revealing two shallow dimples. said: "I'm fine, you see I've gained a lot of weight." Xiao Yunfan touched his nose and said, "I didn't see where I was fat." Shui Hanyan's cheeks turned red and said, "Don't mention this." By the way, Brother Xiao, since you went to the capital, you must have seen a lot of things. Why don't you talk to my little sister?"
