The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 77 The Mystery of the Cui Family

Zhao Changhe, who broke through the fourth level of the entrance earlier than he expected, was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to care whether Cui Wenjing was pretending. Maybe he was really a child prodigy when he was the ninth child in the Tianbang, and he was at the seventh or eighth level in five months. It's over.

   Whatever.

  Before, I felt that using that kind of broadsword was too heavy, and my own strength was not enough. But as soon as the entrance of external skills is broken, the power will increase greatly, which is very obvious. If the ten-pound steel knife was smooth and light before, it shouldn't be too much of a drag on the twenty-thirty-pound sword now, maybe it's less durable?

Thinking about whether it is time to try that four or five-foot-long broadsword... But looking at the soft eyes of the little girl next to her, she thought to herself, forget it, she has already chosen a steel knife, which is not good-looking, Let's do this first.

  Who knew that the little girl had pre-ordered the Daxia Dragon Sparrow Knife for him in her heart, but she didn't even introduce the name of this steel knife to him.

  They are all thinking of each other, and even the eyes that look at each other exude an unspeakable sour smell.

  Cui Yuanyong, who stepped into the house, could smell the stench against the wind, and felt that he had come at a very bad time. In fact, it was very bad time for his sister to find a man.

  As an elder brother, he hasn’t even engaged yet... Before leaving the house last year, the family was just preparing to discuss marriage with the Wang family. It was very troublesome to go back and forth, and the negotiation has not yet been concluded. This younger sister, who has no hair, is looking for a man first...

   "Second brother!" Cui Yuanyang waved cheerfully when he noticed his arrival.

   "Huh? Brother Cui is here?" Zhao Changhe wiped his mouth and wondered, "Where did you go before? I didn't see you from the beginning to the end of such a big event."

Cui Yuanyong smiled, casually sat in the father's position just now, and poured wine for the father's hospitality: "I said that when my sister was following you to see the turmoil in the world, her eyes would change sooner or later, look This time it has changed completely, it is the same as water, and it still smells rancid.”

  Cui Yuanyang blushed: "Second brother!"

  Cui Yuanyong ignored his sister, turned to Zhao Changhe and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao's verbal probing just now is unnecessary, do you really guess that the ghost is me?"

  Cui Yuanyang's expression changed.

  Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Why are you so sensitive, just asking, I thought we were friends."

"I also know that some people will guess that it was me. After all, my sister ran away in my hands. If you count the time when I ran to your cottage before, I let her run away twice in a row... a fool... so able to run, I don't think so. Is it intentional?" Cui Yuanyong drank a glass of wine on his own, sighed and said, "Even if I'm not an insider, someone will make a fuss about this, saying that I'm not careful enough, and my future is bleak."

   Cui Yuanyang felt a little embarrassed, saying that he had made his second brother miserable.

   These two times really had nothing to do with her second brother from her point of view. When she ran to the cottage in the middle of the night, her brother could still monitor her sleeping? That's the question of whether it's good or not. Afterwards, running away was none of my elder brother's business, it was the servant who escorted me back, and I made excuses to slip away on the way, how could the second elder brother know?

  Although it was a bit of a disaster, it is really hard to take off the hat of not being careful enough, and it is not wronged. Cui Yuanyong himself does not have much experience in the world, and it is a fact that he is not thoughtful enough.

  Because of this, it is even less likely that Cui Yuanyong did it on purpose. He is the person who is firmly in the seat. No matter how you look at it, doing such a thing is meaningless to him, and the reputation is still ugly.

Cui Yuanyong sighed, and said again: "As for the past few days, of course I went back to find you the same way, and found the city where you stayed... Who knows that you have traveled all the way through mountains and mountains, I really can't meet you." Ah... To put it bluntly, if you sneak back into the city and hide and don't go out, when I find you, maybe there are not so many things going on..."

  Even Zhao Changhe's face twitched this time.

  Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true... Who said there were only two choices at the time? This is obviously the third option, and it may be the safest. I never thought about it, never thought about it until now...

  Cui Yuanyang chuckled, took Zhao Changhe's hand, and said softly, "Ignore him."

  Zhao Changhe finally nodded: "Okay, why keep defending yourself, I'm just kidding."

"Because it's disgusting. A bunch of people want to plant it on me. It's like swallowing a fly. Now that the person involved is in front, I can't help but say a few words!" Cui Yuanyong asked his sister helplessly: "Wait a minute There are only three interrogations, and I'm going to be interrogated, are you going to attend?"

   Cui Yuanyang thought for a while and nodded: "I will go with Brother Zhao. Can Brother Zhao go?"

Cui Yuanyong said: "He is the party involved, and he had to provide some circumstantial evidence. But he is in a special situation, and my father doesn't speak up, and it's not good for others to interrogate him like a prisoner. If you are willing to participate, That would be the best."

  Zhao Changhe really wanted to go. He felt that this matter was tricky, which aroused his curiosity to get to the bottom of it. What's more, the real culprit wanted to kill Yang Yang. If she was not found, a person who wanted Yang Yang's life would hang around in front of her every day. Thinking about it, she would shudder. Of course, she must be found and killed.

   Cui Yuanyang really doesn't want to know who it is, and everyone feels uncomfortable, but she knows that this matter must always be settled.

  ...

   That night, Cui Jiazu Temple.

  Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang stood behind Cui Wenjing, looking into the field with his head.

Cui Yuanyong stood side by side with another young man who looked very similar to him in the center, looking very helpless. The young man was even worse, with a decrepit look. The doll who seemed to have not suffered much had been squatting in the prison for two days. Half of his energy and energy were shut down.

  Cui Yuanyong's younger brother and Cui Yuanyang's third brother, Cui Yuancheng, is the biggest suspect this time.

  The old elders of the Cui family gathered together, and even Cui Wenjue, who was the sheriff of Qinghe County, arrived. This was not a case of a little girl being assassinated, but a brother killing a sister within the family. It was an extremely serious problem that any family could hardly tolerate.

  Among them, several eyes were fixed on Zhao Changhe, the fierce coercion can make people numb all over.

  Don’t say that you can’t see someone’s practice on the surface, but when you are staring at you, you can naturally feel the invisible and intangible pressure.

   Zhao Changhe smiled nonchalantly. My father-in-law didn't pretend to be aggressive with me, so you pretend to be a fart.

A clan elder slowly said: "Everyone must be very clear about the matter, and here is the last thing to emphasize the reason why we locked Yuancheng. There are only a few ways for the underworld to offer rewards, and we have already shoveled the bottom of the Qinghe area. , it was confirmed that it was spread out through the sales hall of the Salt Gang here, we caught the other hall master, and the confession was released by Yuan Cheng, the clues are extremely clear."

  Everyone nodded. In fact, this is very easy to check. There must be a channel to release the reward, and there must be a place for others to receive the reward. It was too easy for the Cui family to find out such things in Qinghe, and it was basically impossible to deny it.

   But the problem is...

"However, after the man finished speaking, he bit the poison hidden between his teeth and committed suicide. It is precisely this point, which shows that there is still the possibility of being bribed and framed, so someone raised the suspicion of Yuan Yong." The old man continued. : "There are quite a few people who hold such views, and Wen Jue thinks so."

  Cui Wenjue nodded and saluted: "Yes, Yuan Yong, don't blame uncle for being suspicious, anyone would be suspicious."

Cui Yuanyong said calmly: "About my suspicion, I can explain in just one point: as we all know, I was still on my way home when my little sister ran away. It is impossible to arrange it in time unless it is arranged in advance. However, she ran away It's also an impulsive move, even if she herself didn't know that she would run away in advance, I offered a reward but arranged it early, how could she do such a thing? Uncles really think Yuan Yong is a fool?"

  Many people were nodding, including Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang. Cui Yuanyang is even more aware that he was really impulsive at the time, where did the premeditation come from, who can arrange it in advance?

   But that's troublesome. Cui Yuancheng's suspicion is more suspicious because of the other party's suicide.

  The Cui family ruled in vain in the local area, but the prostitute daughter was assassinated, and the real culprit could not be found!

  Countless eyes fell on the silent Cui Wenjing's face, which meant, go invite Qinghe Sword.

  Zhao Changhe frowned.

  He doesn't know the attributes of the Qinghe Sword, but this posture always makes him feel...the opponent's target...is the Qinghe Sword?
