The wealthy man who wears books

Zhong Xin looked at the broken teacup on the ground, and didn't look at He Yiru, but shook his head lightly, walked slowly to Qin Huai, and held his hand.

"I've talked about Shencha at this time, but it's time to talk to you again. My husband and I have escaped from the fire scene. After all, in such a sudden fire, we can escape by luck. Ma'am, you are very disappointed."

He Yiru's body swayed on the seat, but she sat upright desperately.

"Old Qi, what do you mean by that? How does it sound? It seems that there is a fire in your Pochun Garden, and I set it up. How many people here can prove it. Where are you and what are you doing. Old Qi, don’t think that you are scheming and good at calculating, and you have to make use of it to frame others!"

Zhong Xin and Qin Huai looked at each other, he saw both worry and trust in each other's eyes, he let go of Qin Huai's hand, walked slowly to the center of the hall, facing the steaming fire, Smiled faintly:

"My wife didn't drink the ginseng tea just now, so why did she become irritable like my elder brother after drinking tea. The old seven only said that the two of us survived and let you down. It didn't mean the fire, but the wife personally What kind of person is the wife, how could she easily come to Pochunyuan to set fire across several courtyards, and do that kind of tricky thing. If it was more than ten years ago, the wife set fires in her own yard. It may be unknown if there is a big fire."

Saying this, most people in the living room didn't know what it meant, but He Yiru waited for the third wife and several older wives, but they couldn't help but change their faces.

Mo Wanzhen on the side raised her voice and said to the third wife:

"Lao Qi's words reminded me of Zhong Xiu's birthday more than ten years ago. There was not a fire in the elder sister's yard. And I vaguely remember that the fire should have happened in the big house. In the kitchen, and only Lao Qi was trapped in it, he was almost burned to a lonely ghost in the fire. Although he was not burned to death later, he had a lot of scars on his body, I don’t know if it’s right?"

The third wife nodded, and raised her voice:

"As soon as my sister said that, I also remembered that there was such a thing. Because the age of Lao Qi and Zhong Zhi was almost the same, I saw his body burned at that time, so I hugged Zhong Zhi to do it at night. A nightmare. Speaking of which, Lao Qi’s experience back then was indeed a bit tragic, but it’s really unexpected to say that the elder sister set the fire in the yard.”

Seeing her sisters singing together, He Yiru put the topic firmly on herself. She had a ghost in her heart, so she secretly looked for Xiang'er in the crowd. When the two people's eyes met, she slowly moved her hand Putting it close to the ear, he made a gesture of making a phone call.

Xiang'er was also in a panic, seeing He Yiru's posture, she was taken aback for a moment, and after slowly thinking about it, she guessed that his wife should have asked him to call the patriarch Zhong Jiu for help.

She looked around and saw that everyone was staring at Zhong Xin intently, so she withdrew quietly, and slowly moved towards the door behind a few thick women.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to slip out of the gate, she saw Ju Sheng blocking the gate with a bag covered in black ash on her back. Seeing her, she immediately turned down.

"At this moment, the seventh brother originally confessed that no one is allowed to leave before he finishes speaking. Sister Xiang'er was originally our big girl in Po Chunyuan. Why is she so unruly? I will stay here now, and you Don't think about going out on your own."

Xiang'er knew that she could no longer escape the sight of the Seventh Young Master, and it would be even more difficult for Jin Chan to escape her shell at this time.In desperation, he had no choice but to step back and stand behind the crowd, thinking secretly.

From here, Zhong Xin sneered in a low voice and said:

"Er Niang and San Niang remember well. The fire did happen when the Second Miss celebrated her birthday, and it did happen in the kitchen behind the wife's yard. Because of that time, it was already late at night, but there was only one reason. I made a mistake and was punished by my wife without food for a whole day. I was so hungry that I sneaked into the kitchen to find some leftovers to eat."

Hearing what Zhong Xin said, Qin Huai, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking softly:

"But I don't know what serious mistakes you can do at that age. Your wife will punish you without eating for a day, and you said that it was the second sister's birthday. Isn't it because you were bitten by her dog?" A scene of serious injuries..."

Everyone could hear the sympathy and heartache in Qin Huai's voice, so they couldn't help but look like him, and sure enough, in his black and white beautiful eyes, they saw a little twinkle of tears.

Zhong Xin also glanced at him who showed his true feelings, smiled, and said in a low voice:

"When Lao Qi was in his teens, there were too many times when he didn't have enough to eat, but most of the time, it was my elder brother who picked on me, and every time he found fault, he made me hungry. It's just that my wife has always been a Bodhisattva in the Zhong family's population. Even if I don't like me, and my elder brother beats me day and night, she can't bother her to worry about it. That time I personally punished me. Seeing something that shouldn’t be seen, just to make my wife unhappy.”

Why did this happen? At this time, the whole person was almost trembling on the seat, pointing at Zhong Xin, but he couldn't speak.

Zhong Xin saw her expression, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:

"Master Guangjing was busy outside for more than half of the year because he newly opened the Nanyang market. At home, his wife naturally worked harder. But probably his wife is a woman, and there are some things that always require a man. There are only more arms beside him, so our patriarch of the Zhong family seems to take on the responsibility of this man for the master. During the past six months, every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, Lao Qi often sees Uncle Jiu I sneaked into the wife's room, lingered until midnight, and then went away in a ghostly way."

When the two sisters Mo Wanzhen heard this, they looked at each other with a look of "it's true" on their faces.Originally in Zhong's house, the rumors of He Yiru's friendship with Zhong Jiu had long been rumored, but no one had ever caught a strong handle, so they could only treat it as groundless rumors, but now Zhong Xin said so, this The rumors seem to be coming true.

Zhong Xin said again: "But although Uncle Jiu often visits his wife's boudoir at night, because my wife is very cautious, no one in the house knows about it. I live with my wife and I am just a ten-year-old. I'm a child next year, so no one will find out that I am the one who pays most attention to the private affairs of my wife and elder brother in private. Because of this, I can see all these messy things in my eyes. Originally known as Zhong The eldest wife of the most virtuous person in the family is actually the one who winks at the patriarch at night and dances like a bird."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being dumbfounded and looked at each other.After all, as Zhong Xin said, thinking that the eldest wife who worships Buddha and burns incense every day is actually a romantic woman in private, even the Zhong family has seen too many bloody and filthy things, and they can't help being shocked.

He Yiru acted very strangely at this time, although she was looking at everyone's surprised eyes, she seemed to turn a blind eye to it, and suddenly said quietly:

"Old Qi, the tea bowl was broken just now, why didn't you make another bowl for me? It is said that you are the best at serving people, but you serve like this. It seems that the boss was not cruel enough to you back then." !"

Zhong Xin was slightly startled, but remained silent, then went to the copper stove again, poured a bowl of ginseng tea, and held it in front of He Yiru with both hands.

He Yiru took the tea bowl, then reached out and took it out of his bosom for a while, then took out a kit, and poured out a big vermilion pill from it.

She twirled the pill in her palm, as if talking to herself, and said softly:

"The air in this Pochun Garden is very stuffy, which made my old ailment that hurts my heart relapse. Anyway, I will take your ginseng tea and take the medicine."

While she was speaking, she put the big pill in her mouth, drank half a cup of ginseng tea, and said to Zhong:

"Since you've said so much, why don't you go on and see what I look like in your heart. To be honest, Lao Qi, what I have heard you say in the past 20 years is not as good as it is today. You came here a lot in half a day, and I really got to know your background. Sure enough, the boss was right. You are a dog who doesn't like to bark. When you really say it, you will probably hurt people. Hey, it's just that he and I thought After a dog is tamed, it will be gentle and obedient to its master, but we forget that some dogs are more vicious than wolves!"

Zhong Xin stared at her closely, and when he saw her swallow the pill, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he said to the people in the hall:

"Since my wife said so, I don't want to hide it any more. After all, the skin on some people's faces will be torn off after all. I just want to tell my wife, why did the two of us get married during the fire in Bochunyuan this time? I was able to be safe and sound because you gave me too deep a memory when you wanted to set fire to me. You locked me in the kitchen while I was eating leftovers and set fire to the kitchen , let me howl in pain, but you watched the fire light drift away. You don’t know, I have recognized you in the crack of the door, and I will always remember that green skirt!”

Zhong Xin's voice was rarely filled with anger.

He looked at the direction of the east courtyard outside the window, and said with a sneer:

"So after I crawled out of the dog hole covered in burns, all these years, I told myself that as long as this woman is still alive and still holds power in the Zhong family, in her heart, this woman who wants to burn The fire that kills me will never be extinguished. And if I want to be able to escape from this fire, I must be prepared to avoid the three caves. Therefore, when I am redecorating the east courtyard, I naturally have to keep a Where there is fire protection, you must not only protect your own life, but also use this precaution to dispel your suspicions, and completely involve the person who set the fire for you, so that everyone can take a look. Whoever worked hand in hand with you became your accomplice!"

Speaking of other things, Zhong Xin suddenly turned around and said loudly:

"Ju Sheng, the person who set fire to my room and committed murder, are you afraid to slap him in the face?"

Everyone was shocked by his words, and subconsciously turned their attention to Ju Sheng at the door.

There was faint excitement on Ju Sheng's face, he nodded vigorously, and said loudly:

"According to Seventh Brother's arrangement, we have already photographed the face of our patriarch Zhong's face in the lens of my Western camera, but it is extremely clear!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked by Ju Sheng's reply.

Although this answer has already been foreshadowed in Zhong Xin's words just now, it still makes people feel extremely shocked to hear that the patriarch of the Zhong clan is the one who set fire to Bo Chunyuan.

He Yiru in the seat trembled twice, but stood up tremblingly.

Zhong Xin looked at her face, at this moment, maybe it was because of fright and fear, her face was so pale that it was not normal.With a heartbeat, Zhong walked slowly to her, and said faintly:

"Ma'am, since you just said that Lao Qi said a lot more than usual tonight, why don't I just say something more, and completely uncover some mysteries that our Zhong family has never been able to solve. For example, on Sanniang's side, she has been asking her family to help her find the murderer who caused Liu Ge's death, but she doesn't know that this murderer was originally the object of her begging, that is, to set fire to my uncle Jiu .”

When the third wife on the side heard this, she suddenly let out a shrill scream, and then, she was so angry that she fainted on the second wife.For a moment, there was chaos in the living room.

Zhong Xin looked at He Yiru in front of him, and He Yiru actually looked straight at him.

"Ma'am, now I have found out the evidence that Zhong Jiu killed the sixth brother, and at the same time took pictures of him arson and murder. Do you think he can escape such a well-documented catastrophe? I just want to Ask your wife, for the two grasshoppers tied to the same rope, the male grasshopper will not be able to jump for a few days, and is about to die, so what is the other female grasshopper going to do?"

When He Yiru heard his words, for some reason, a very strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and whispered to the bell:

"You want to know what my plan is? Let me tell you, Lao Qi, in this life, you will never guess what a woman is thinking. If you really want to know, come here, and I will tell you..."
