Nongmen Shenjue

Just came out of Fan's house, just in time to meet Mu Lin coming towards him.

"Big brother?"

"Second Brother, the person who went to Bitao's house is back. As we guessed, the number of medicinal materials is wrong, and it happens to be missing one 'Grass Aconitum'." According to Mu Lin's thinking, the next step is to strictly examine Bitao.

Mu Qingyan said: "I told Fan Lixuan everything I found."

"Have you talked to him?" Mu Lin had a bad impression of Fan Lixuan.

"Yes. Bitao also talked about it. From Bitao's reaction, I speculate that Bitao knows that the medicinal materials are missing, and it is very likely that Mrs. She stole it. Then, there is no need to guess what Mrs. She wants to do."

Mu Lin frowned suddenly: "This Bitao..."

"Bitao said something. Half a month before the medicinal materials were lost, She and Fan Lixuan had a quarrel. I saw that Bitao mentioned this matter, her tone was not quite right, and she seemed to be resentful towards She. I guess, She You must have done something to make Bitao hate, and half a month later, you found out that the number of medicinal materials was wrong, but you kept silent." Unable to talk about the backtracking, Mu Qingyan could only lie a little bit.

Mu Lin's brain turned quickly, and he guessed right away: "Could it be that Mrs. She mentioned the matter of Bitao taking over the house again, and Bitao didn't want to, but didn't dare to disobey?"

I have encountered many things, and I also know that some maids want to be "superior", while others are willing to hire outsiders. Everyone has different ambitions, maybe Bitao is the one with other ambitions.If this is the case, and She insists on making Bitao a concubine for Fan Lixuan, Bitao will naturally feel resentment.

"Second brother, if Mrs. She committed suicide by taking poison, then what happened to the fire? Besides, taking poison is our speculation, and the autopsy has not yet been done..."

"As for the autopsy, brother, go back and ask County Captain Lu for instructions. As for the fire, it has been confirmed that no outsiders in the village have come, and no one in the village has feuded with the She family. Father Fan and others have never heard of it that night. The abnormal sound can basically rule out arson. Either Mrs. She set the fire on her own, or it was an accidental fire. Considering Mrs. She may have taken poison, the fire should be just an accident." Then he said: "I remember that I did a drug test, and I tested what I said beforehand. If you are worried about the Fan family’s opposition, it’s better to just do the previous item, and then compare it with Bitao’s testimony, and you can basically determine it.”

Mullin also felt reasonable: "Let's do this for now."

The truth of the case has been revealed, but it is not gratifying.

How She died is actually not complicated. It has been speculated a long time ago that the cause of her death, and even the few people around her had their own agendas. No one had the intention of killing her, but what they did drove her to her death.

Mu Qingyan returned to Fenglin and did not continue to participate in the conclusion of the case.

Bitao's secrets and Fan Lixuan's secrets have been found out, and She's secrets are also guessed, and he doesn't plan to find out whether they are true or false.The person is dead, so what if it is found out?It's better not to know, to keep a clean and good reputation, otherwise, if someone in the yamen's mouth is not strict and leaks out, don't mention the dead She Shi, and how the two young daughters left behind will live in the future.

In a blink of an eye, it was She's funeral day.

Many relatives and friends came to send burning paper for offering sacrifices, and Sun Maozhe and other friends naturally also came.

These people were sitting together, and while they were talking, someone was surprised: "Look, is that the Qiu family's carriage?"

When everyone looked around, they saw a carriage parked outside Fan's courtyard. The driver looked familiar, and he was driving Qiu Zhihao.Earlier, everyone also talked about Qiu Zhihao. There was an accident in the Fan family, and Qiu Zhihao never showed up. Later, he learned that Qiu Zhihao was not in Fucheng, but he showed up at the funeral today, which is also reasonable.

Sun Maozhe knew more. After searching, he happened to see Qiu Zhihao and Fan Lixuan leaving together.

Looking at the direction the two left, they went to the back of the house, where bamboo was planted, and there were no guests, it was very clean.Obviously the two had something to say.

For some reason, Sun Maozhe felt that it was not appropriate, as if something would happen.

After a while, before the two came out, someone was already looking for them. After all, Fan Lixuan was the husband of the deceased and wanted to entertain guests.Sun Maozhe knew about the secret relationship between the two, so in order to prevent the two from talking about taboo topics in private, he did not tell others, and found an excuse to find it himself.

As soon as I got to the house, I heard a muffled groan, a bit like Qiu Zhihao, but the bamboo covered it, so I couldn't see it.

Sun Maozhe took a few steps closer, avoiding the bamboo, and finally saw the two people.But the cleanliness in front of him was beyond expectation, Sun Maozhe's heart skipped a beat: "Brother Lixuan!"

At this moment, Qiu Zhihao was pressed to the ground by Fan Lixuan, and Fan Lixuan held a dagger in his hand and pressed it to his heart, his face flushed and his expression was agitated.Qiu Zhihao grabbed Fan Lixuan's hand, his head was covered with cold sweat, and his expression was painful, but he didn't struggle vigorously.

There's blood on the knife!

It was only then that Sun Maozhe discovered that Qiu Zhihao had been injured on the side of his waist. He was wearing a green shirt, which was smudged with blood.As he got closer, Fang could smell the blood aura emanating from it.

"Brother Lixuan! What are you doing! Let go!" Sun Maozhe didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that Fan Lixuan could not be allowed to kill someone, otherwise he would be imprisoned, his future would be ruined, and his two young daughters would have nothing to rely on .

Fan Lixuan stared at Qiu Zhihao, finally let go of the dagger, fell to the ground and cried.

Qiu Zhihao looked at Sun Maozhe: "Please trouble me to find the book ink next to me. I just said that I soiled my clothes, and I will take another clothes to change."

Sun Maozhe hesitated, fearing that the two would start a fight again.

"It's okay, you just go." Although Qiu Zhihao was stabbed, his expression was peaceful, without any resentment.

Considering the relationship between the two, Sun Maozhe said: "Today is Mrs. Fan's funeral. Brother Lixuan was temporarily infatuated with grief. Young Master Qiu, please forgive me."

Qiu Zhihao nodded slightly: "Lixuan didn't mean it, the wound wasn't deep, and he didn't hurt his muscles or bones. It will be fine after a few days of care."

In other words, don't take it to heart.

After Sun Maozhe left, Qiu Zhihao sat up and leaned against the bamboo.

"Do you want to kill me? Lixuan."

"You and I met first, and she is the latecomer! We agreed that even if we get married, our relationship will not change. But you want to break up with me because of her. You said it was for the sake of the child, and you said it was because you were afraid of being known... ...I understand that you are already a talented scholar at a young age, and you have a promising future, so I can't hinder you. I don't care about anything else, except for one thing, you don't want to blame me for her death!"

"You haven't forgotten what happened in March last year, have you? Why did she get drunk? Don't deceive yourself, you are just pretending to be harmonious. In fact, you don't like her, and you are not the only one in her heart!"

"Enough! Stop talking!" Fan Lixuan raised his eyes: "It's all a mistake!"

"Yeah..." Qiu Zhihao didn't say anything anymore, he knew that there would be no turning point between the two this time.After all, it is a ten-year relationship. They have gone through a lot to this day, and thought about giving up, but until today is the real end.

Shumo brought clothes, and Qiu Zhihao changed them, he treated the wound on the side of his waist briefly, and then found an excuse to leave.

Only Fan Lixuan sat there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

Thinking back to the years of marriage with Mrs. She, as Qiu Zhihao said, the relationship between husband and wife seems to be harmonious, but in fact they respect each other like guests.He doesn't like women, and he also resists marriage, but he is the only child of the Fan family, and he is an adult, so how can he say that he won't marry a wife.

Before getting married, Qiu Zhihao confessed that he proposed to marry She Shi.

Qiu Zhihao also didn't like women. The two didn't pierce the window paper at that time, but they understood each other clearly.Qiu Zhihao wanted to marry She Shi because he must have a "wife", and there were some advantages in choosing She Shi, the daughter of a squire.Because Member She was unwilling, he gave up, and later married the daughter of an ordinary small businessman, who never interfered with his affairs outside.

Fan Lixuan knew that Mrs. She had a crush on Qiu Zhihao, so he still agreed to the marriage.

He thinks it is good for husband and wife to respect each other as guests.

How do you know that life is ever-changing, not only he and Qiu Zhihao, but also he and She Shi, She Shi and Qiu Zhihao are all changing.

He remembered that he went to Fucheng for a spring outing in March last year, and Mrs. She was not very interested. When he arrived, he lived in the residence where he was studying in Fucheng.It was found with Qiu Zhihao's help. It is a single courtyard. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and has a lot of flowers and plants, so it is considered elegant.

When going out for sightseeing, Mrs. She said she was not feeling well, so she didn't go, only he and Qiu Zhihao went.

That day, there were several other friends, enjoying the scenery and composing poems together, which was also fun.

Drinking was inevitable during this period. Fan Lixuan was not good at drinking, and he was not lucky.Qiu Zhihao was going to take him back, but he didn't want to take the car, the car shook, and he became dizzy and nauseous.

Originally, Qiu Zhihao wanted to accompany him, but unexpectedly there was a visitor at home, so he wanted to meet him.

Qiu Zhihao then said that he would go talk to Shi Shi by the way, so as not to worry her.

It was already evening when Qiu Zhihao went home to see the guests, and then went back to Mrs. She's place.

Fan Lixuan was the only one in the courtyard with a book boy, but now the book boy went out with him, and he wasn't there.She didn't bring Bitao with her when she came. The children in the family are young and it is inconvenient to go out, so Bitao has to stay at home to take care of her.Now there is only Mrs. She in this courtyard, and Qiu Zhihao, a big man, came to the door, so he also wanted to avoid suspicion.

How did he know that when he went in and took a look, Mrs. She was drinking alone and passed out there drunk.

"Siblings?" Qiu Zhihao frowned when he saw this, it was hard for him to help, there was only one driver outside the courtyard.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and seeing him, she seemed a little dazed, and suddenly tears rolled down her eyes, and she cried to him: "Why does he always treat me indifferently? Is it because I have admired you? But you I was in love and ended in etiquette, I didn't overdo it, and I have already lost contact with him, if he really cares, why did he marry me again?"

"Siblings, you're drunk!" Qiu Zhihao was very clear about the Fan family's affairs, but she unexpectedly started talking nonsense when she was drunk.

"No! I'm not drunk!" She stood up while supporting the table, and staggered into Qiu Zhihao's arms.

Qiu Zhihao was startled, and stretched out his hand to push her.

But Mrs. She just hugged him: "Fan Lixuan is cold-hearted, brother Qiu is better, only brother Qiu is gentle and considerate, willing to listen to my concerns, and willing to help me solve my problems. If my father accepted your marriage proposal back then, we Why bother to suffer this neglect? I have had enough of the sneering words from the village."

Qiu Zhihao was sweating down his back when he heard it, and stopped talking to her, and directly took him to the bedroom and put him on the bed, broke free, turned around and left quickly.

Afterwards, Qiu Zhihao mentioned a few words to Fan Lixuan, only talking about She's complaints, but Fan Lixuan could more or less guess.It was only because She later treated Qiu Zhihao slightly differently, it was the eyes!After She married him, she kept a distance from Qiu Zhihao deliberately. After the trip to Fucheng, She seemed to recall her old relationship. Whenever she saw Qiu Zhihao, there was nostalgia in her eyes.

For all this, Fan Lixuan pretended not to know.

Now that Mrs. She is dead, everything returns to dust.
