Chapter 78 The Wind and Rain Are Coming

"Don't you know?" Cheng Qian asked Du Si, "Yun Chenghua's house was only bought last summer. When he first arrived in Huaiqing, he was penniless. Back then, he went door-to-door to beg for food. Fortunately, he was hard-working and motivated. Don't become a beggar, who knows that the good times are coming to an end, and those things happened a few days ago, hey."

Du Si thought to himself, he remembered that Yun Chenghua's ancestral house had the spirit tablets of his grandparents and a middle window...

"Brother Yun was born tall and tall. I was bullied since I was a child, and he often stood up for me."

Du Si said very sadly, and Du Heng, who was sitting on the bench beside him, stared straight at the sight.

"Yun Chenghua is indeed tall and mighty, and this area is his tallest. Speaking of which, his wife was molested in the street, and Yun Chenghua rescued and beat those villains away. Since then, You Niangfang has a dark heart. Xu, the two will soon be married." Cheng Qian suddenly remembered that Du Si didn't know who You Niang was, "You Niang is Yun Chenghua's wife."

At this moment, Du Si was really sure that the man who sneaked into the ancestral house to offer incense and worship was Yun Chenghua himself.

"Mr. Cheng, have the people in Yunzhai really disappeared?"

Du Si asked coldly, Cheng Qian nodded and said firmly.

"It did disappear."

"It's really strange. How could people disappear for no reason?" Du Si pretended to be puzzled, and then asked, "I heard that there are corpses lying in the courtyard. It's the cold season, and there is heavy snow in the sky. How can everyone go out of the house?" ?”

"This..." Cheng Qian choked up, his face a little unnatural.

"If the thieves entered the house to steal money, they would definitely make a noise, but no one noticed that day, and there was no blood on the ground, how could the thieves kill a whole house of people?" Then, Du Si analyzed, "There are rumors in the street that there are fierce ghosts coming to ask for money. No one in the Yunzhai survived the disaster, you went to the Yunzhai that day and saw the corpses that hadn’t disappeared, that ghost might..."

Du Si spoke halfway, but Cheng Qian was terribly frightened.

"It can be seen that those rumors of ghosts and gods are all bluffs. Mr. Cheng is alive and well, and he ran to report to the police in the middle of the night to save people. How could he encounter such things." Du Si laughed, and immediately resolved the anxiety in Cheng Qian's heart.

"Actually, I only took a look into the door at that time, and ran to the yamen when I saw someone lying in front of the courtyard." Cheng Qian hesitated.

Du Si narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for Cheng Qian to narrate what he saw that night.

"After Master Zhizhou came, I also wanted to follow in..." Cheng Qian paused and said embarrassedly, "Who knows that just as I walked in the door, several officials stopped me and threw me out of the house. All I saw was that the place where people were lying in front of Fang was empty, and there was also the big yellow dog that Yun Chenghua raised."

"When you came to Yunzhai with Master Zhizhou, did you hear a dog barking?"

Cheng Qian shook his head, "I saw the dog lying on the ground, wagging its tail at Mr. Zhizhou. About three o'clock later, Mr. Zhizhou came out of the house, and I learned that Yun Chenghua and others had all disappeared."

There is indeed a problem with the prefect. Du Si stroked his chin and thought. Today, he seems to have obtained many clues, but in fact they are useless. OK…

Cheng Qian talked with Du Si for a long time, he seemed to be interested in You Niang, and every sentence was inseparable from You Niang and Yun Chenghua, but he never mentioned the relationship between the two, but judging from his envious expression, Yun Chenghua and You Niang should have a good life.

"Brother Yun must be very good to my sister-in-law and spoil her everywhere."

Du Si threw out the bait, and seeing Cheng Qian's cooperation, he told Du Si everything.

"That's not so good. Yun Chenghua spoiled You Niang to the sky. The gold hairpin and jade bracelets are all good. Even You Niang's clothes are no worse than those of Huaiqing's big family. You Niang is not arrogant or rash. All my heart is tied to Yun Chenghua, I heard that Yun Chenghua's clothes are all sewn for her, You Niang likes to eat the sweet cakes sold in the west side shop, Yun Chenghua buys them every day, You Niang doesn't even have to go out, Just sitting at home, you can enjoy thousands of favors, all the women in Huaiqing envy You Niang very much, with such a husband, who wouldn't like it?"

Cheng Qian and Du Si chatted affectionately for most of the day, Du Heng dozed off at the side at some point, until it was getting dark outside the window, Cheng Qian let Du Si and the two go.

As soon as he left the house, the big yellow dog lying on the straw in the yard barked at Dusi again.

"When strangers come, it will keep barking." Cheng Qian explained. He sent the two out of the house, as if he was afraid that he would be implicated by Yun Chenghua. Finally try not to leave the room, Du Si responded one by one, with a very happy smile on his face, said goodbye to Cheng Qian, turned and left.

"It's strange, he is obviously a relative of Yun Chenghua, why do I follow him everywhere?"

Cheng Qian patted his forehead and waited until he could not see Du Si before closing the door. At this time, the snow started to fall again, and it became more and more intense. Du Si and Du Heng walked so fast that they almost slipped and fell on the snow. middle.

"My lord, that watchman is really nice, just like Brother Wang." Du Heng whispered.

"You miss them." Seeing Du Heng nodding his head, Du Si said firmly, "We'll go back when I'm done."

After finishing speaking, Du Si couldn't help raising his head, "This case is full of doubts. If you don't ask the local prefect, I don't know if it will be broken until the year of the monkey."

There was a lot of snow in front of him, scrambling to cover Du Si's looking forward, Du Si couldn't help reaching out to pick it up, but only felt a piece of ice cold.

Right now, Li Zhifei hasn't stated his intention of coming here, and he doesn't know where the local Zhizhou is from. If he sends him to his door again, he will only drag the people around him for nothing.

At this moment, Duan Jingheng's handsome face appeared in front of his eyes, Du Si's heart warmed up, and he felt his whole body full of strength.

"My lord, are all the people in the house really dead?" Du Heng asked this question again, and Cheng Qian's words confused him again today.

"Didn't you see today, there is a man who secretly burns incense to worship his ancestors." Du Si explained, "The candles are warm, and the wax oil in the candlesticks has not yet solidified. Before we came, that man must have been in the ancestors In the room, the incense burner was filled with ashes, that man must have often gone to worship, and he was tall and strong, he could climb over the middle window and climb the house..."

"He is Yun Chenghua!" Du Heng suddenly realized.

"Although it's a bit ridiculous, but Yun Chenghua didn't die, it must have something to do with that Lord Zhizhou."

"But Cheng Qian said that Yun Chenghua has no father or mother, so how can he have anything to do with Zhizhou?" Du Heng was puzzled.

Du Si shook his head, he was also confused about this, and the wordless spiritual tablet in Yun Chenghua's ancestral house also made him puzzled, fortunately, he took some things from the study, this trip was not in vain, Du Si touched the letters and scraps of paper in his arms, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

"My lord, do you want to read those letters?" Du Heng and Du Si almost ate and slept together, and soon understood Du Si's thoughts.

"I have to watch." Du Si paused every word, and he glanced at Du Heng again, and said with a smile, "You just lie under the quilt and warm the bed for my son."

"I am also literate." Du Heng said proudly.

"It is good for children to go to bed early, and they will grow taller."

"Hey, I can already catch up with the young master."

"..."

They made a fuss and started running after a while. Du Heng's hilarious laughter echoed throughout the street, and his eyes followed Du Si until they returned to their residence. A woman seemed to be holding something in her hand, and there was a faint cold light flowing. The person was startled, and immediately ran away without looking back.

"..."

Du Yu put the sword back into its scabbard, but she didn't chase after it. A gust of cold wind passed by, and Du Yu returned to the house. As soon as she entered, she met two pairs of black and white eyes.

"Is anyone following?" Du Si said.

Du Yu nodded, and at the end, he added, "It's pretty fast."

Du Si didn't pursue it. He took out the letters and studied them with Du Heng. Du Yu sat aside and looked at the side faces of the two, his eyes were warmed by the candles, like melting ice and snow, silent and soft .

This night, the lights in the room were on for a long time.

At the same time, in Yongzhou, which is thousands of miles away, a house in Prince Yong’s Mansion was also lit up. Duan Jingheng opened the window and looked out at the moon in the sky. , as if doing so can relieve the exponentially growing thoughts in my heart.
