As a slave against the master, the Sun family viciously murdered the master, seized the evidence and turned it over to the government, which is definitely a death sentence.But the Kims didn't do that.Firstly, it was to protect the face of the Jin family. After all, this kind of thing was not good to hear, not to mention that it involved brothers killing each other.Furthermore, the Jin family is more likely to deal with these people by themselves, at least to kill chickens and monkeys to deter other subordinates.

Now several members of the Sun family are locked in a small courtyard.

Three meals a day are reduced to one meal, cold steamed buns and hard pancakes, whatever you have, just throw it in through the window and ignore it.As for the water, think about adding it. After all, they are slaves who have betrayed their master. Not to mention that the master wants to deal with them, even if they are servants, many people look down on them.Moreover, many people's way of survival is to praise the high and step on the low, and to add insult to injury.

It's just a little different today. The person who came to deliver the food was about to leave after losing the steamed buns, but felt something was wrong.

So quiet!

The Sun family kept crying and begging for mercy yesterday, hoping to save their little grandson's life.Sun Liang, the son of the Sun family, has married a wife and has children, and he is indeed ignorant of this matter, but this does not mean that he can stay out of it.Even, few people believe that he is ignorant of everything.

Confused, the person who delivered the meal looked out the window, only to see the Sun family lying on the ground, motionless.

After reporting to Uncle Li, he took the key and opened the door, only to find that the whole body inside was completely dead.

The black complexion showed that they all died of poisoning.

Uncle Li suppressed his eyebrows, and sighed: "They felt guilty, they knew that they would not escape punishment, and committed suicide by taking poison."

The servant opened his mouth to say something, but when he met Uncle Li's cold and sharp eyes, he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, they committed suicide by taking poison."

"There's no need to alarm the government, it's easy to deal with it." Uncle Li turned and left.

Mu Qingyan, who had already left, didn't know about the affairs of the Jin family. Even Chen Shiliu also left this morning.

"Brother Mu, this is your 160 taels." Chen Shiliu received the 100 taels balance from Uncle Li this morning, and ended the commission. According to his agreement with Mu Qingyan, he got 40 taels, so he got [-] taels .

40 taels of silver is really nothing in the eyes of the young master of the Chen family, but it is very important as a godsend.

The old grandmother and others in the family were worried about him before and brought him a sum of money, but he couldn't rely on the old grandmother forever, otherwise wouldn't it be pointless for him to run out?Therefore, now that he has earned money, at least this year, he will not have to worry about paying wages to his subordinates.

Mu Qingyan took the money.

"Brother Mu, are you going back to Fenglin County?"

"Let's go tomorrow." The jewelry at the silver building can be picked up tomorrow. In addition, the previously planned itinerary can be continued.

Knowing this, Chen Shiliu wisely didn't ask to go with him.

Wenji Xueding's place to play is Furong Lake, surrounded by green willows, faint green hills, you can hear morning bells and evening drums from a distance, boats coming and going on the lake, there is a Furong Garden on the bank, and there is a Bibo Tower in the garden. place of appreciation.From time to time there will be gatherings of literati here, all kinds of small banquets, various characters, everything that one expects to find, even in winter, it is not deserted.

When the two arrived, they could vaguely hear silk and bamboo wind music, mixed with the laughter of men and women.

"Go to Bibo Tower, standing upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery." Wen Jixue said.

Mu Qingyan followed behind.

The two were not walking fast, and they were also enjoying the scenery on the way. Occasionally, they met students who ran a poetry club, and they stopped to watch one or two.

"Someone is dead in Bibo Tower!" A panic broke the leisurely time.

Mu Qingyan rubbed the center of his brows, deeply feeling that it is not suitable to go out this year, he was not so unlucky in his previous life.

Wen Jixue was also silent for a while, and glanced at him.

Mu Qingyan smiled helplessly: "Go and see?"

"This is not my original intention." Wen Jixue couldn't help laughing.

As the two talked, they walked towards the Bibo Tower, and there were people around them approaching there, talking a lot.When Mu Qingyan heard the name of the deceased, he couldn't help but want to rub his eyebrows again, Jin Licai, the fourth young master of the Jin family.It was also the only one Mu Qingyan hadn't seen before, and he didn't expect that the other party turned into a corpse when they met.

The Jin family has been experiencing troubled times recently, and he couldn't help but suspect the cause of Jin Licai's death.

At this moment, there were many people around Bibo downstairs, and there was a mess of crying, both men and women.

After hearing what the people around him said, and roughly understanding what happened, it was Jin Li who fell to his death!

The fourth master of the Jin family is a fun-loving person, everyone in the prefecture knows that he has a group of friends, and today he invited a singer as a company. Bibo Building.There are five floors in Bibo Building, and the inside is also spacious. A group of people went up there with a lot of noise, and a few students left disappointed.

It is said that it was Jin Licai who pulled the singer to lean on the railing to look into the distance. Suddenly the singer screamed, and Jin Licai fell from the railing.It was almost head down, it is conceivable that he died on the spot, his head looked like a scoop, it was horrible, now it was covered by the clothes of the servant, but the red and white splashes on the ground could still be seen, This is also the reason why everyone watched from a distance and did not dare to get close. Even so, many people vomited in a mess, and the smell in the air at this moment was really unpleasant.

Most of the friends Jin Licai invited had run away, and the diva was already paralyzed from fright. If she hadn't been supported by someone, she might still be on the Bibo Tower.

The makeup on Diva's face was smeared by crying, her eyes were dull, her dress was messy, and she was trembling with a maid beside her.Diva's face was flushed and she had vomited too. She should have drank a lot, otherwise her condition would be even worse.Right now, she can't bark or cry, it's because some of her nerves have been paralyzed by alcohol.

Mu Qingyan looked at everyone one by one, thought for a while, and said, "I want to go up and have a look."

Wen Jixue nodded.

At this moment, there was no one in the Bibo Building, and the two went straight to the fifth floor.

The floor was too high, and there were no plants, so Mu Qingyan couldn't do backtracking, so he could only check the place where Jin Licai fell.There was a slightly heavy rubbing footprint on the floor, half of the forefoot, and a little thread of clothes scratched on the side of the railing, but nothing else was suspicious.These marks should be left by Jin Licai trying to struggle when he was about to fall, but he leaned down and was in a state of drunkenness, not to mention that he had nowhere to borrow strength, even if he had, he couldn't do it in that state arrive.

"It looks like it was an accident." Wen Jixue could also see something from the traces.

"Who knows."

In fact, Mu Qingyan analyzed, if this is a premeditated murder, what benefits will the murderer get?Competing for the position of the next head of the Jin family?Why should we target Jin Licai?

Only Jin Liye and Jin Lihang were descendants of the Jin family, and the others were concubines.

Jin Licai himself is very lazy, he only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, he is not interested in soliciting affairs, and even avoids them, as long as he has a lot of money anyway.Furthermore, he is ranked fourth, and his succession is not at the top, nor does he have any outstanding talents. Even if the two young masters of the first generation are dead, it will not be his turn.

Jin Li was the least threatening person in the competition, but he died.

The two left Furong Garden and went boating on the lake.

Wen Jixue led him onto a painting boat.This painting boat is a flower boat, but it is slightly different from the flower houses in the city. It is mostly performers.The two listened to the music, watched the dance, and had another meal of stewed fish from Furong Lake.

Back at the inn, there was only Gao Tian.

"Chen Shiliu didn't come back?" It was getting late.

Gao Tian shook his head: "Mr. Chen went out during the day and said he was going to the theater. Do you want to find him?"

"Wait a little longer."

Not long after, Chen Shiliu came back, but his expression was a little troubled.

"Brother Mu, I met Jin Lilin from the Jin family during the day, and was invited by him to go to the theater. Later, the news of the accident of the fourth master of the Jin family came, and I was there at the time... About our fake identities, he didn't I know, I can't explain it to him for a while, but when I encounter this kind of thing, that... I went back to Jin's house with him. "

If they were really the sons of old friends of the Jin family, and something happened to the Jin family, it would be impolite to be indifferent.In fact, even if they were entrusted to investigate the case, it was reasonable for them to go to express their condolences when something happened to the Jin family.

It's easy to guess what Chen Shiliu was thinking. It's not that he didn't have time to explain to Jin Lilin, it's just that the timing was bad, and he would have inexplicable guilt that made it hard for him to open his mouth.

"Anything else?"

"When I went to the Jin family, Uncle Li and the housekeeper took care of all the affairs. It is said that Master Jin and Mrs. Jin fell ill. The boss of the Jin family couldn't move. The second master of the Jin family didn't see him either. He was willing to die. I don't know. I only saw the third and fifth masters of the Jin family." He frowned as he spoke, "The atmosphere of the Jin family is too weird. After entering, it's almost like you can't breathe. Everyone's expression is... It's hard to describe."

"Did Uncle Li say anything when he saw you?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"No." Chen Shiliu shook his head: "He didn't expose my identity."

"Are you going to stay here?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

"No, I'd better go back to Fenglin County. Something is wrong with the Jin family, and I'm in a panic." Chen Shiliu was referring to a feeling, anyway, he didn't want to step into the Jin family again.

"Then we'll leave tomorrow." Mu Qingyan didn't intend to interfere with the Jin family's affairs, and the Jin family didn't want outsiders to intervene at this time.

Chen Shiliu nodded, and at the same time, his curiosity was violated again: "Brother Mu, you said the death of the fourth son of the Jin family was an accident? At this juncture, it is too coincidental, but I can't figure it out, who wants to kill him? "

"Who knows." Mu Qingyan had an intuition that this was a murder, but the information was missing, and he couldn't figure out the reason behind it.
