Chapter 55: The Mandala Reappears
When Xuan Qi arrived at Sun's house with Hua Minglu, the Sun family was the whole family, and there was a lot of mourning. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xuanqi was shocked, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the door to ask, fortunately, the doorkeeper had seen Hua Minglu, but the old man Sun had passed away three days ago, but he was about to go to the funeral at this time.
When the family entered the house with the two of them, the coffin was being lifted. When a young woman saw Hua Minglu, she nodded to Xuan Qi and took Hua Minglu, who suddenly threw herself into the woman's arms and cried. I couldn't take care of it at the moment, so the woman asked someone to find a filial piety dress for Hua Minglu to put on, and with Hua Minglu in her arms, she walked into the crowd of funeral mourners.
After Xuan Qi asked the family member of Fang Cai, he learned that this woman was Sun Su'e, the youngest daughter of Old Man Sun, who was following the funeral procession and walked forward.
The coffin is stopped in front of the dug grave, and relatives and friends come forward to bow as a final farewell. Xuan Qi followed the team and bowed respectfully three times to Old Man Sun's coffin. Just as he was about to leave, Xuan Qi's nose twitched continuously, with a hint of spicy and spicy, mixed with a faint aroma, some like the black mandala in the flower world.
In order to be more sure, Xuan Qi casually walked behind Sun Su'e, who was kneeling by the coffin. Under the twitching of the nose, sure enough, the fragrance was even stronger, it was the fragrance of the black mandala. And it is from the coffin that the fragrance emanates. It turned out that Old Man Sun was buried on the first day of his death, and in such a hot weather, although the body did not decompose, the aroma in the body was emitted through the cracks in the coffin.
Xuan Qi frowned, but he didn't expect that this old man Sun was also poisoned by this black mandala. But I don't know who did it, not only Hua Shiwu was poisoned, but even the Sun family, the in-laws of the Hua family, also suffered. There must be a certain connection between the two things, either for the Hua family or for the Sun family. Xuan Qi sighed secretly, but he didn't have a clue for a while.
When the funeral procession returned to Sun's house, it was already past noon, and Sun's family was still in grief and busyness, and no one remembered Xuanqi for a while. Xuan Qi was also not polite, and with the funeral procession on the table, he simply ate something. I just finished eating, but I saw the family who brought me into the Sun family come over.
"Master Xuan, Miss, please go to the back garden to talk about it, and thank you for the kindness of the young master!"
Xuan Qi nodded, followed behind the family, and after three turns and two turns, he entered a pavilion in the back garden, but there was a stone table in the pavilion with four stone benches.
"Xuan Gongzi waited a moment, and made a small announcement. The family invited Xuan Qi to sit down, walked in from the moon gate not far from the pavilion, and went to report. Xuan Qi took a brief look and found that there were quite a lot of houses behind the Moon Gate, which should be the back house of the Sun family.
But in a moment, the family Ding sent two fragrant teas, and Miss Yandao arrived immediately, so she retreated.
Xuan Qi raised the teacup and just took a sip, but saw that a vegetarian figure had already appeared at the moon gate, it was Miss Sun Su'e, Xuan Qi hurriedly stood up.
"Sir, please take a seat! The little woman was busy for a while, but she forgot about her husband, and please forgive me!" Sun Su'e walked up to the pavilion, but she squatted down slightly and made a squatting salute.
"Miss Sun doesn't have to be polite!Ling Zun just passed away, but I'm bothering you!" Xuan Qi only looked at the woman in front of him carefully at this time. saw that Sun Su'e was dressed in a vegetarian body and was thin, but she was only about 20 years old. When he raised his head, his face was plain, his eyes were bloodshot, and he still had some sadness.
The two sat down opposite each other, and Sun Su'e said first: "Haven't asked Mr. Gao's name yet?"
"Under the surname Xuan, a single name has seven characters. ”
When Sun Su'e heard this, she hurriedly stood up, clasped her fists with both hands, and said to Xuan Qi: "It turned out to be the leader of the Xuan Gang, and the little woman was rude!"
"It's okay, Miss Sun, please take a seat!"
The little girl thanked the master of the Xuan Gang for escorting Lu'er to Sun's house, but I don't know why the sister didn't arrive? I just coaxed him to sleep. Therefore, I specially invited the Xuan Gang Master to ask, and I also asked the Xuan Gang Master Haihan to inform!"
When Xuan Qi heard it, it turned out that Sun Su'e was crying because Hua Minglu kept crying and couldn't tell what was going on, so Sun Su'e thought of herself. However, this Sun Su'e looks young, she is still a woman, she looks weak, but she is very sincere, and she told the truth in front of Xuan Qi, which made Xuan Qi look at her a little differently. It turned out that Fang Cai's family only knew that Xuan Qi's surname was Xuan, and he didn't know Xuan Qi's true identity, so he didn't report it.
Xuan Qi was about to receive the invitation from the Hua family in the capital, and when Hua Shiwu passed away, Mrs. Hua came to Sun's house with Hua Mingyang and Hua Minglu, and told Sun Su'e everything that happened along the way. When Sun Su'e heard the tragic death of her sister and nephew, her face was sad, her eyes were even redder, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Xuan Qi looked at Sun Su'e and didn't say a word. After a while, Sun Su'e came back to her senses and remembered that Xuan Qi was still in front of her. Immediately reached out and took out Supa, gently wiped away the tears, then raised his head and said to Xuan Qi: "The little girl is rude, let the Xuan Gang Master laugh!"
"It's okay! It's just human nature! Please also ask Miss Sun to mourn!"
Sun Su'e nodded, but her eyes exuded a hint of fierceness, and asked, "Gang Master Xuan, has there been any news of a murderer?"
"I'm sorry! There is still no news of the murderer! Once there is news, I will let Miss Sun know in the future. ”
"Then thank the Xuan Gang Master first!"
"Miss Sun is polite! There is something unclear below, I wonder if Miss Sun can tell me?"
"Xuan Gang Master, please speak!"
"Legend has it that Ling Zun was seriously ill and died. I think that Ling Zun is not sick, but has been poisoned, I wonder if Miss Sun can know?"
Sun Su'e heard Xuan Qi ask like this, but she looked at Xuan Qi with a surprised face and said, "How did the Xuan Gang Master know?"
Xuan Qi no longer concealed it, and now said that Hua Shiwu was also infected with this strange poison before he died, and he smelled the same smell next to Old Man Sun's coffin. It's just that Xuan Qi, after careful consideration, concealed that he had already learned the name and efficacy of this strange poison from Lu Zhongting.
Sun Su'e nodded, and said a little gloomily: "Don't hide it from the master of the Xuan Gang, my father has indeed been poisoned, and even my brother has been poisoned, and he is still bedridden." In order not to make the Sun family panic, it was the little woman who ordered that the news should not be spread. ”
Xuan Qi understands that the Sun family is a giant in the business world, and once the news of the poisoning of Old Man Sun and the young head of the family, Sun Shucheng, comes out, it will inevitably affect the cooperation between many merchants and the Sun family.
