Chapter 106
What hesitating? "
"Really?" Ye Qin was obviously displeased, and stopped peeling the dried fruit, "Actually, ever since I entered Fanjian Villa, I found it strange that this Chu family is famous in the Jianghu for being a well-known official family, why is it that they are so decent all day long?" It’s really disappointing to not see anything.”
Gu Lan deeply agreed: "Wandering, they all came here after the famous puppets. I guess I'm going to regret it now. When I came back from Chu Yan just now, it seems that Chu Yunjia has a secret to tell me. , but I don’t know why when Chu Yunxi appeared, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to make a sound, and he was completely different from the playboy in the underground palace before.”
Ye Qin said: "At the end of the day, whether it's the organ puppet or Feng Que, or even Chu Yunjiao who has never appeared before, we have never seen it at all."
"Do you suspect that the Chu family is directing and acting on their own?" Gu Lan squeezed his chin, "It's not impossible. I also considered this after the death of Palace Master Murong, but what was the motive? After thinking about it, I still feel that Far-fetched."
Ye Qin frowned suddenly: "From what to what?"
Gu Lan choked: "Ah, what? What leads to what?"
Ye Qin had a very helpless expression: "I'm asking you what you said just now."
Gu Lan's face didn't change: "Why don't I remember what I said, what caused what, and I don't know what you are struggling with. How long has it been since Jun Zuo picked out his ears, can I help you?"
"I'm so mad." Ye Qin said with a cold face, but there was nothing he could do.
"Seriously," Gu Lan said, "How likely do you think this matter has something to do with Huige?"
Ye Qin clenched his fists to his forehead, and leaned lazily against the table: "Based on the evidence, not a single point. Based on intuition, ten points."
Someone knocked on the door, Gu Lan got up to open it, wandering around poked his neck inside with a smile, and said with a strange expression: "Yo, I'm not here at the right time, excuse me, excuse me."
"Stop talking nonsense." Gu Lan dragged him into the door.
Ye Qin rolled his eyes and didn't really want to pay attention.Wandering put his hands in his hands, walked around the table presumptuously with a smile, pulled the stool and sat down between the two of them, stretched out his fingers and gestured: "This is... ready to rest? Oh, that's really not good Sorry, I didn't expect you to go to bed so early."
"Crack it."
Yeqin crushed two walnuts in his palm, peeled the nuts and put them on the plate.
Wandering put away his smile, and moved to Gu Lan's side.
Gu Lan poured him a cup of tea: "You all stayed in the banquet hall after dinner, did you hear anything interesting?"
"Wow, Xiwei, you don't know that there are too many little things about the Chu family that are not known to outsiders." Wandering took a sip of water triumphantly, "Just what I heard at night, I'm afraid I will tell you Talk about a day and a night."
"Don't listen to romantic affairs, don't listen to nonsense," Gu Lan said, "Let's talk about the key points."
Wandering said: "That's gone."
"Go back to sleep."
"Wait," Youyou stretched out his hand, "Did you know that there are monsters in the mountains behind Fanjian Villa?"
Gu Lan looked disappointed: "I knew it earlier."
"Then do you know that the three children of the Chu family come from three different wives?"
Gu Lan: "Tell me."
"That's what I just asked about from a maid," Youyou stepped on the stool and lowered his voice, "Chu Yan really deserves Rick's wife, no wife lives long."
Chaos Taoyuan ([-]) Xi Sha
"Chu Yan was originally born in a poor fisherman's family in Xiangyuan. The family was poor. However, it is said that when he was young, he was outstanding in appearance. When he was working in the martial arts school, he was lucky enough to be photographed by the eldest lady. The poor boy turned himself into a son-in-law. However, after a while, that The owner of the family martial arts gym died unexpectedly, and the martial arts hall naturally fell into Chu Yan's hands.
Chu Yan managed the martial arts gym well. In just two years, the scale has doubled several times. After Chu Yan became famous, he made friends with many high-ranking officials and nobles.At that time, Princess Mo Ling, who was in her prime, knew that he already had a family, but still boldly pursued him without hesitation. It was a coincidence that at this moment, guess what? "
Wandering said, he reached out to eat the walnuts on the plate, Ye Qin narrowed his eyes, pushed his index finger to the left against the edge of the plate, and pushed it directly in front of Gu Lan.
"What happened to Chu Yan's wife?"
Wandering surprised: "How do you know?"
"Guess." Gu Lan said.
"Yeah, are you saying it's strange? Chu Yan's first wife got seriously ill for no reason, and passed away soon." Wandering took his hands back, as if nothing had happened, "Afterwards, Chu Yan married the princess as a matter of course, At that time, he was no longer satisfied with his status as the owner of a martial arts gym. With the help of his father-in-law's family's wealth, he was able to flourish in the Jianghu. This Princess Mo Ling is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and has a violent temper. The son with her ex-wife is not good, and what is unexpected is that in the second year of her marriage to Chu Yan, she followed in the footsteps of her predecessors because of dystocia."
Gu Lan frowned: "Well..."
Youyou immediately said: "Chu Yan's third wife is the most mysterious. The servants of the Chu family only call her Mrs. Bai. They don't know her origin and family background. It was after marrying Mrs. Bai that Chu Yan left the bustling capital and brought his family together. Moved to the deep mountains and old forests to live in seclusion. Later, the Fanjian Villa appeared in the world, and Chu Yunxi became a genius in the bureaucracy in one fell swoop, but no one knows what will happen to Mrs. Bai."
Speaking of this, even Yeqin couldn't help being surprised: "Life or death is uncertain? There must be an explanation."
"The little girl's original words were 'unknowingly became a taboo that cannot be mentioned', and I couldn't figure out what it meant. Missing? Ill? Or was it taken away by bandits? You can't become a demon or a ghost Well, the more mysterious it is, the more curious I am."
The three of them were silent for a while, then Gu Lan suddenly said, "Isn't it a little bad for us to openly talk about other people's private affairs in other people's homes like this?"
Wandering said: "You should have said this sooner."
Ye Qin said: "This incident is very strange from the beginning to the end. Every person and every detail is full of contradictions and violations."
Gu Lan asked, "Does that include us too?"
Ye Qin said: "Of course. For example, the word you said before is very surprising to me."
Gu Lan said, "Why do you still remember this?"
Wandering asked: "What kind of word, let me come to wonder."
Ye Qin said: "Direct and act on your own. Have you heard of it?"
Gu Lan was surprised: "Huh? You actually remember!"
Youyou scratched the back of his head: "Hmm...it's really a bit. Xiwei, what exactly does this mean?"
"This is a dialect," Gu Lan said perfunctorily, "It means that a person plans and implements himself, but gives others the illusion that he is innocent."
Ye Qin suddenly realized, and made a sentence on the spot: "Ah, Mr. Gu's self-directed and self-acted skills have reached the point of perfection, which is really admirable."
Gu Lan squinted his eyes: "I don't want to hear the words of perfection again, Ye Qin, don't you know other idioms?"
Wanderingly said: "Ah, curator Gu's self-directed and self-acted skills have reached perfection, which is really impressive. Xiwei, how about it, is my sentence a little more advanced?"
Gu Lan: "...you both get out for me."
Wandering sat upright, with some stubbornness in his eyes: "Xi Wei, I heard that Murong Qing died in the Chu family ancestral hall, what's going on, are you there?"
Just as Gu Lan was about to tell him the shocking scene just now, someone outside knocked on the door vigorously, he couldn't help showing a little worry, and said softly, "Trouble is coming."
"Chou Weilong of Fengting Village has invited the owner of the hall to the ancestral hall for a while. The murderer of the phantom palace master case is unknown, how can brothers sleep well!"
"Come on." Gu Lan didn't go to open the door, he just sat down and replied.
The rough voice outside the door "hum": "The owner of the hall is calm, no wonder, we unknown outsiders can't get such a spacious room. Seeing that you and the owner are not friendly during the day Qian, I heard that this Chu Yan is only obsessed with his wife, maybe he has some other hobbies, I don't know."
The cold air surged beside him, Ye Qin's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and there was a jet of blood on the paper door.Outside the door, Qiu Weilong was taken aback when he saw the bloody path, and later he felt the sharp pain on his cheek. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and there was a bloody hole on his cheek. Teeth and half tongue.
On the colonnade behind him, half a blood-red walnut kernel was embedded intact.
When Gu Lan and his party arrived, the buzzing and arguing in the Chu family's ancestral hall immediately stopped, and everyone turned their meaningful eyes to them.Qiu Weilong, whose face was covered in blood, half-hid behind Fengting Village Master, glaring at Ye Qin viciously and fearfully. Chu Yunxi and Chu Yunjia were also present, but Chu Yan was still missing.
There were two new corpses on the ground, covered with white cloths, but the red candles on the stage had not yet been replaced.
The village leader, Long Yi, said coldly: "Gu Lan, my brother kindly informed you to come over, why did you act so cruelly? Before solving the underground matter, let's explain the matter on the ground clearly."
Long Yi, as the chief bandit leader in command of the ten major tribes in the Northern Sai, does not look as tough and flamboyant as Qiu Weilong, with a tall and heroic figure, and neat and simple clothes, he looks like the majestic head of a famous sect in the Central Plains.
Gu Lan looked straight at him and said, "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding. Just now, my two friends and I didn't take a step out of the room. We only heard the sharp and piercing wind outside. We thought it was a wild dog barking and accidentally injured Jie. What a shame!" Excuse me."
"You!" Qiu Weilong gasped like a wild bull, holding a sweat towel to cover his face with one hand, blood gushed out from his cheek as soon as he took it off, the pain made him speechless, "Village Master!"
Long Yi made a secret gesture to tell him to be quiet, and he had a rough idea of the cause and effect in his heart. He suddenly met Ye Qin's staring gaze, and only
