"Is that all?" Xiao Ying asked numbly, somewhat dissatisfied with the man's answer.

Just knowing that this kind of thing happened to the ancestors of the Shen family could not explain the problems he encountered.

He is not a bloodline of the Shen family, and relatives of the Shen family still exist.

Xiao Ying's thoughts moved and he asked: "Have you ever heard of the names Shen Mingyi and Shen Mingxiu?"

As if he thought of something, the man's expression was slightly unnatural, and he looked at Xiao Ying.

"I am a descendant of Shen Mingyi, in name only, but in fact there is not much blood relationship." Xiao Ying said with a wink.

The man was obviously relieved and grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, "Oh, so you are a descendant of that younger brother."

Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows.

The man licked his lips, "Then my ancestor has helped your family a lot." He lowered his voice, "You know, right? If my ancestor hadn't been cruel and beat that brother, he would have been there If it is abolished, where will it be my brother’s turn to take charge?”

This passage is truly astonishing.

I looked at this man in surprise, and there was no need to hide my surprise.

The detective tried hard to suppress his expression, but his eyes still widened.

Xiao Ying remained calm and just stared at the man, but there was a huge fluctuation in his heart.

Only then did I realize that after Xiao Ying passed away to Shen Ankang, he also heard a lot of old gossip about the Shen family.

Shen Mingxiu favored his nephew and did not care for his own son, so some people had long suspected that there was something fishy. However, thinking about Shen Mingyi's difficult childbirth, poor health, and early death, the rumor Xiao Ying heard was that Shen Changshou was actually Shen Mingxiu's son, not Shen Mingyi's son.

At the same time, there are also rumors that Shen Mingxiu only has one biological son, Shen Changshou, and none of his nominal children are his biological children. His father preferred Shen Mingyi. He could only look at his wife's natal face and endured the cuckold's head.

When Xiao Ying was growing up, he heard a lot of such rumors.

Shen Mingyi's descendants themselves are somewhat chaotic, with many tricks and loose family traditions. And because they are competing for the inheritance that is hidden somewhere, some slanders and rumors secretly become even more unsightly.

Compared to the trivial family matters, jealousy, and snarky remarks that Qingye and the others heard, what Xiao Ying heard were completely insulting remarks.

Xiao Ying was not shocked by the man's words, which made the man look unhappy.

"My ancestors couldn't work anymore in their hometown because of your ancestors, so they had to come to a place like this. If not for this, I should be sitting in an office in a big city now." The man said Change rush.

"This is just something you heard. And you probably didn't hear it from your ancestor, right? It's been passed down from rumor to legend. It's been passed down for generations, and it's hard to tell what the truth is. Maybe it's your ancestor. The ancestor deliberately hurt people and ran away because he was afraid of being held accountable by the Shen family." Xiao Ying said calmly.

The man looked uncomfortable.

"If you really did this for Shen Mingyi, didn't Shen Mingyi benefit your family?" Xiao Ying asked again, having calmed down completely and no longer believed the man's words.

The man's eyes flickered, but his voice was raised, "I know you people are like dogs, and you turn your back on others! Why are you pretending to be innocent!"

His behavior further showed his guilty conscience.

Xiao Ying had some free time and stared at him silently.

He avoided Xiao Ying's sight.

The detective spoke, calmed down the atmosphere, and advised: "We are not here to pursue any responsibility. If we are to pursue it, we can't hold you accountable. As an employer, I want to know the truth. Do you understand the truth? Don't add fuel to the fire. Nonsense, tell me everything you know. We don't deserve a penny of the money. If you lie to us, don't blame us for being rude. We are definitely prepared to pay it, and it doesn't matter who we give it to. . I can find anyone in your village who can make life difficult for you, right?

The man shrank his neck, a little angry, but really scared. He looked at Xiao Ying's expressionless face and finally said reluctantly: "It's true that you beat people. But... your family probably doesn't know. The boss was injured and asked a doctor. How's the injury? What I know is that our ancestor managed to escape. Because of this matter, our family used to stay in Minqing well... I heard my grandfather said that he He was beaten. At that time, he had just married... The ancestor of my family had to run away. If he was caught... that would be it.

The man lowered his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket, without touching the one the detective had just given. He took a few puffs with a depressed look on his face.

"Is this all you know?" Xiao Ying asked.

The man nodded.

"After the injury, how long did it take for Shen Mingxiu's son to be born?" Xiao Ying asked.

Xiao Ying remembered that Shen Mingxiu's first child was his son, who grew up safely and healthily, and continued his bloodline.

The clients Ye Qing and the others met were all descendants of this eldest son.

The man shook his head, "He looked for an opportunity and ran away quickly. He didn't run far. He must have arrived at a nearby village at the beginning. He asked for information and heard that the boss was very kind to his younger brother's son, and their father also favored his younger brother, so he I was so scared that I ran away. After traveling to many places, I finally settled here. He had already died when our family settled here. I don’t know where he died. My grandfather and father mentioned him. It’s so bad…”

The man spat, frowning.

You can imagine the trouble this family was in.

Although their family was originally a tenant farmer, they still lived in the suburbs of Minqing. The Shen family was also very wealthy, so their life should not be bad.

If he had stayed there, this man might now work as a white-collar worker in a company in Minqing. He would go to school and work in Minqing and have a better development.

Now, he is farming in a fourth- or fifth-tier rural area. Also because of the Shen family's old affairs, their family did not participate in the village's orchard project, thus losing money and possibly being ostracized by the villagers.

One wrong move and the family went downhill, all the way to the bottom of society. Not impoverished, but definitely not rich either. It will take several generations of hard work and a bit of luck to get back to where we were before.

The man may become more unwilling to give in the more he thinks about it, and smokes very fiercely.

"What about the hanging and haunting thing you just mentioned? It's just a ghost story I heard before. There's no reason for your family not to participate in the village project, right?" Xiao Ying asked.

The man puffed out another puff of smoke and said angrily: "How do I know? Their brains were kicked by a donkey!" He cursed a string of curse words, mixed with unknown dialects, which made people unable to understand, and could only feel Anger in his voice.

Xiao Ying waited for him to finish scolding but did not answer.

The detective reminded: "Please tell me carefully. You must know something, right?"

The man finished smoking a cigarette, threw it on the ground, crushed it, and then said with a frown: "I don't know if it's true. I've forgotten whoever said it... the one who hit someone... burns "It's what your family asked for." He looked at Xiao Ying and said, "Just that brother. He asked a few people to burn the forest. Those people seemed to be possessed by the evil spirit."
