"Sun Yuzhu can't bear to think about it because she was divorced? Then if she dies, the Sun family will not make trouble?" Mu Qingyan asked puzzled.

"Can the Sun family stop making trouble? At first they came to make trouble, but I don't know what my father said, so the Sun family stopped. There must be something else going on here. I asked my mother, but my mother didn't tell me. Left It's just my elder brother's business, and it doesn't have much to do with me, and it doesn't do any good, and I don't bother to care about it." So he still doesn't know the root cause.

Seeing that he couldn't ask, Mu Qingyan changed the subject and asked another question: "How did Tang Fengfei die?"

"...Huh? Tang, Tang Fengfei?" Tang Youhui hiccupped, turned his head around for a long time, and laughed twice: "This is a taboo in our Tang family. No one is allowed to mention it. You can't tell outsiders .”

Having said that, it was just because his family was reminded of his fate, and his intuitive reaction was that he couldn't speak, but there was no sign of vigilance on his face.

Mu Qingyan has seen the situation of the Tang family. Tang Fengfei's identity is very unusual. She is the eldest daughter of the head of the family. She is outstanding in everything and has high hopes from the family. She is not sent to the Fairy Temple for gold plating, but for the goal of succeeding the person in power. of.In this regard, the same is true for Lou Fengyang of the Lou family. They are also the first daughters of the long house, and they have the same goal of competition.

After all, Tang Fengfei was Tang Youhui's cousin.

However, the age of the two was checked a lot. Tang Fengfei entered the Fairy Temple at the age of 12, before Tang Youhui was born.Even so, Tang Fengfei's status symbol in the Tang family is special, and Tang Youhui, who is also a direct branch of the main family, probably knows something about her.

Mu Qingyan's voice was a little softer: "We are also curious. I heard that Tang Fengfei and Lou Fengyang are competing for the successor of the Fairy Temple. If they hadn't happened one after another, we would have known who would end up with it. What a pity."

Tang Youhui's tongue was excited: "Can the Lou family compare to our Tang family? If the Lou family didn't use despicable means to kill my cousin, the Fairy Temple now belongs to our Tang family!"

"Oh? The Lou family is so despicable? What did they do?" Mu Qingyan continued to induce.

"No, I don't know. My family didn't tell me. Anyway, the Lou family used tricks to force the big lady to die. Hmph, but the Lou family shouldn't think about it, that Lou Fengyang was killed." Seemingly vague However, a terrible truth was revealed.

If Tang Youhui's words are correct, the death of the so-called Feixian Shuangfeng is the victim of the struggle between Tang and Lou.

"You two should not be short of money, why do you have to compete for the Fairy Temple?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

"Hey, you outsiders don't know. Our two families are just looking good from the outside. In fact, we spend more and less money. Although we don't have enough money, we are almost unable to support it. If it weren't for the lack of money at home, my mother would be so stingy. I didn't purely want to steal things from the house. If I really have money, why should I bother! I used to spend hundreds of years of money, but now I simply don't give any money. I'm still the young master of the Tang family? It's not like my big brother, What a good wife! My sister-in-law’s natal family is rich, and the dowry alone dazzled people’s eyes, tsk tsk, it’s not like the one I married, what do you do with that little dowry? I can see it..." Tang Youhui complained again, and changed the subject.

Mu Qingyan quietly listened to his complaints, and waited for him to finish before continuing to go back: "According to what you said, the Fairy Temple is a big deal?"

"Of course, do you know how much incense is produced in the Fairy Temple every year? Thousands of silver, but this is just a drop in the bucket compared to other income in the temple." Even if Tang Youhui was drunk, he couldn't stop salivating when he mentioned this. tone.

Mu Qingyan was indeed surprised.

Temples do not charge tickets these days, and even joss sticks and other items are not exclusively sold by temples. The income of incense belonging to temples comes from the merit money and sesame oil donated by believers.For example, when you go to burn incense and worship Buddha, you put the money in the merit box, like Tang and Lou, donate a sum of money to the temple for offerings on festivals, and those who make prayers spend money to buy sesame oil to light lamps, etc.

Fairy Temple is quite special, because of the existence of fairies, its expenditure is very large.

It is definitely not a small amount to have thousands of silver a year, but according to Tang Youhui, one thousand silver is not worth mentioning to the Fairy Temple.Many people know how many mountains there are in the Fairy Temple, but the mountains are all there. It is true that there is a lot of money to sell wood, but it must not be too exaggerated.

Mu Qingyan suspected that the Fairy Temple had other foundations.

"Where does the Fairy Temple get its money from?"

"Of course it was given by someone!" Tang Youhui's answer was unexpected.

"Who?" Mu Qingyan became suspicious.

"Fairies! The most valuable thing in the fairy temple is not the mountains, nor the incense offerings, but the fairy girls! I don't know about others, but the fairy who entered the county prince's mansion is dedicated to the fairy temple every year." Wan Yinzi, she didn't give the most."

Mu Qingyan couldn't hide his surprise at this moment, he stabilized his voice, and asked carefully: "Which county prince's mansion?"

"Then I don't know, I asked, and my family thought I was not tight-lipped, so they refused to tell me." Tang Youhui drank too much, hiccupped twice, lay on the table with his face flushed and his eyes squinted. "I, I know little about the matter of the Fairy Temple, and my elder brother has a lot to do with it. If you want to say it most clearly, it must be the person in the long house. What to say, it has been a rule since ancient times, and the long house takes advantage of everything gone."

Seeing that he was going to sleep, Mu Qingyan quickly pushed and shoved him, and asked again: "What's the benefit of being the successor in the temple? Why does the married fairy girl still send money to the temple? What are the Tang and Lou families and the Fairy Temple?" relation?"

A series of questions were asked too urgently, Tang Youhui hummed and did not answer.

Mu Qingyan had no choice but to take apart one by one and ask.

Tang Youhui's thoughts were broken, and his answer was intermittent: "Successors, successors can share the majority, and they will take up more places... Our two families have a long relationship with the Fairy Temple. The reason why our two families came to Feixian Town to settle is because Fairy Temple..."

"Where is your ancestral home?" Mu Qingyan asked along the way.

"...Huaichun."

"Where is the Lou family? Where is the Lou family's ancestral home?"

"He, their family is, in Lingwu County."

"Did you two know each other before? Why did you settle here together?"

"I don't know, no, I don't know..." Tang Youhui muttered vaguely, snoring like thunder, and fell asleep completely.

I didn't ask many questions in total, but the time of drinking this time was not short, and I only asked when I was drunk, and I couldn't ask too hastily.At this moment, the person fell asleep and couldn't ask questions. The answer he wanted was not asked, but it led to more questions.But it is also a good thing, pulling the Fairy Temple out of the fog.

Gao Tian went to settle the wine money, and the two left one after the other.

Tang Youhui was a famous person in Feixian Town. To avoid attracting attention, Gao Tian put on some disguise when he came. Mu Qingyan also put on a beard and changed his clothes, dressing himself as a gentleman in his thirties. In the corner, there were other customers in the store, and others looked at Tang Youhui for a while. No one wanted to cause trouble, and everything went smoothly.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wen Jixue glanced at him at the wonton stall opposite, and secretly waved her hands.

Wen Jixue was not with him, fearing that the crowd would be too conspicuous, so she waited outside.

Jiao Li was also watching in the dark, in case someone from the Tang family came looking for Tang Youhui.

Without stopping, Mu Qingyan followed Gao Tian into the alley, took off his disguise, and returned to the inn.

Not long after, Wen Jixue and Jiao Li also came back.

Jiao Li said: "One stick of incense ago, two people from the Tang family came to look for Tang Youhui. I planned to mislead them to other places. I guess they will find them soon."

At that time Mu Qingyan didn't come out, Jiao Li could only buy some time for them.

"How is it?" Wen Jixue asked about the harvest.

Mu Qingyan sighed helplessly, and said what he asked.

"I didn't expect the fairy temple to have such a big appetite." Wen Jixue focused on the income of the fairy temple. Wan's silver is not easy no matter how you look at it.

Furthermore, the competition between the Tang and Lou families for the Fairy Temple was not so fierce at the beginning, but intensified only after Feixian Shuangfeng.What do they mean by "big head" and "number of places"?Is it a coincidence that a fairy girl entered the county palace, or was it intentional?What is the origin of Tang and Lou?What is the relationship with the founder of Fairy Temple?

"I'm actually interested in this matter." Wen Jixue smiled deeply, looked at Mu Qingyan and said, "Maybe I can gain a lot here."

Mu Qingyan understood what he meant, and smiled: "That's really a good thing."

He naturally supports what Wen Jixue wants to do.

Suddenly, I learned too many things from Tang Youhui, but to actually start, there must be a sequence.This time, he came to Feixian Town to investigate the case. Mu Qingyan followed the original plan to find the third wife of the Caiyi Bureau. As for Wen Jixue, he wanted to take Gao Tian to use some special methods to explore the Tang and Lou families.

Apart from other things, Tang Youhui gave too few clues about the murder case.

Let Feixian Shuangfeng put it aside for now, although Sun Yuzhu's death was a suicide, there must be a fundamental reason that destroyed her psychology.

Ever since he knew how Sun Yuzhu died, he was always trying to analyze what Sun Yuzhu was thinking before his death.Since ancient times, women have committed suicide by hanging themselves, throwing water, or taking poison. Like Sun Yuzhu, she fell to her death from a high mountain. I dare not say that it is unique, but it is definitely rare.In particular, the place Sun Yuzhu chose was unusual. Feixiantai chose to be in the early morning when the sun was just rising.

It was clearly the most energetic and hopeful scene, but she chose to end her life in such a morning light.

This requires great courage.

Not only the courage to fall to death from a high place, but also the courage to have the dead body watched afterward, and the reputation is the most talked about.

Possess such great courage, but choose not to live, but to die.

This is also a kind of irony and contradiction.

Ten years, in fact, he can look back, just like in Huangjia Village, the time must be short, and the picture of looking back will be very blurry.If you are unlucky, you may not see anything.Of course, the biggest reason for his concern was that he was afraid of Wen Jixue's objection.

Uh... Wen Jixue is not here today.
