I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 12 The Dongyeshu Incident 3

Sun Sanshao went to the funeral, and there was no stall on the entire street in Fangshi, Dongye County.All afraid of bad luck.Such a person will die early and everyone will be clean.An Houzai and Ankang sat on the second floor of the teahouse, and they heard the funeral procession walking three times along the street.White paper money was scattered all over the street.Ankang heard someone spat in the next seat, "Living is not a thing, and dying is a waste of people."

"The Sun family is still afraid of Dongyeshu's revenge. After Sun Sanshao's funeral, the Sun family still invites monks to Dongyeshu to chant scriptures." Does chanting the scriptures work?"

"Of course I don't care about that." Ankang felt a little itchy in his heart. Anyway, he also came to Dongye County, and he took advantage of the crowds in the afternoon to watch the Dongye tree in the distance. It was not a waste of time. "Let's also go to see the monks chant scriptures in the afternoon."

The weather was very gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in the sky, as if a heavy rain was brewing.The thousand-year-old Dongye tree has a straight trunk as thick as three people hugging each other, without any bending. The leaves are dense and thick, like a sharp sword pointing straight at the sky.Under the tree sat a circle of monks in white robes. These monks closed their eyes and clasped their hands together, chanting scriptures.The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves combined with the chanting sound made people feel panicked for no reason.There were also some kneeling people wearing white cloths bowing their heads and weeping.As soon as Huzi opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Liang, the fierce man he met in the suburbs that day among the kneeling crowd.

The sky suddenly brightened, and then the sudden roar of thunder exploded in my ears.The monk stopped chanting and opened his eyes.The leading monk stood up to negotiate with the Sun family, then sat down again and continued to chant sutras.

Someone whispered, "I'm afraid the spirits in the Dongye tree are angry, so they won't allow the Sun family to chant scriptures here."

"It's going to rain, let's hurry up. The thunder is so loud, the rain won't stop."

Ankang and An Houzai looked at the gloomy sky and left with a group of people.After walking a few steps, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, soaking the clothes in just two strokes.Back at the inn, after taking a hot bath and drinking ginger soup, Ankang and Huzi sat by the window watching the rain.The raindrops made a crackling sound when they hit the blue tiles, and then merged into a stream of water on the blue tiles.

"Young master, it's really the spirits in the Dongye tree who got angry. Look, there's such a loud thunder and such a heavy rain."

"It's all said that you are insane. Thunder and rain are normal weather phenomena."

In the evening, there was no light in the house.Ankang closed the window, sat at the desk with a travel book and casually flipped through it.After flipping through two pages, I felt impetuous, so I lost the book and ran to chat with his father.

"Father, have you heard about the Dongyeshu murder case in Dongye County?"

An Zhonghua said, "I heard about it. It's about the Sun family in the county."

"Father, I heard from my cousin that the Sun family colluded with the county magistrate of Dongye County. Then Third Young Master Sun did a lot of evil things." Ankang approached and said, "Father, this case must be man-made. You are a county magistrate. Ling, won't you help us investigate the case together?"

An Zhonghua shook his head, "Although I am a county magistrate, I am only a county magistrate. The county magistrate of Dongye County is at the same level as me, and he is a local snake. If I intervene rashly, firstly, I have no right in Dongye County, and secondly That bastard county magistrate, I'm afraid it will be bad for you and me. I have written to your uncle about this matter, and Dongye County is his jurisdiction. Count the time, and the letter should arrive. You should stop wandering around recently, Dongye County is not a peaceful place. When the weather clears, we will set off for Yuyang."

"What about uncle and them?"

"Naturally, he is with us. His family has a quarrel with the Sun family. It is better to go to Yuyang County if you stay in Dongye County. I talked with your uncle for a few days, and Liu Guanshi also inquired about the neighbors. Your uncle's family is of good character. Yes. So, I plan to take their family away."

"What about grandma? Daddy, aren't you afraid grandma will be angry if you take uncle back?"

An Zhonghua smiled and said, "Don't look at your grandma who made a lot of trouble before. But she is the most tolerant person."

It rained heavily all night, and it barely stopped until the middle of the next morning.

The guy who went out shopping brought back amazing news.Sun Sanshao was dug out and hung on a Dongye tree.Zhou Liang, a servant of his family, was attacked by something at night, and escaped from death to save his life.

The day before yesterday, Third Young Master Sun had just had his funeral, and the Sun family invited many monks to Dongyeshu to chant sutras.Unexpectedly, the rain stopped this morning, and the body of Sun Sanshao was hanging on the Dongye tree.There are also mottled welts on the body.After death, the corpse was flogged, and the corpse was hung on a tree to expose it to the sun.It's like digging someone's ancestral grave.The Sun family was naturally unwilling.Early in the morning, I brought people to say that the Dongye tree was going to be burned.Some of the Sun family wanted to burn the tree out of anger, but naturally there were also those who were afraid of the revenge of the spirits in the Dongye tree and were unwilling to go.

Young Master Sun persuaded, "Father, we have already offended that spirit. If we burn the tree too, then it will not only be the third younger brother, I am afraid that we will all die." Up to now, the third younger brother is the only one who died. People who have nothing to do with their elders.Presumably, the third brother offended the elf, and the elf went to seek revenge on him.If the Sun family burns the Dongye tree, catastrophe will befall every member of the Sun family.The third brother died strangely, and was dug up and whipped to expose his corpse after death, he didn't want to suffer such a disaster.

Sun Ershao snorted coldly, "Then look at this monster bullying people like this. If you want me to say, let's hire more experts to do it. Burning the tree directly is the way to avoid future troubles."

The three young masters and three mothers of the Sun family have always fought a lot.In the past, Sun Sanshao, the old man, vaguely took the top score. If Sun Sanshao had already been buried, only Dafang's second wife would be left to continue fighting.

"A master?" Sun Dashao sneered, "The monk I invited the day before yesterday is still lying in the yard. Where can I invite a master." When it rained heavily the day before yesterday, the ritual was not finished yet.Sun Ershao was stunned and didn't allow the monk to rest.A circle of monks sat in the rain and read scriptures for another hour before being allowed to rest.When I returned to the courtyard at night, all the monks in the circle fell ill.Still lying in bed now.

Sun Ershao said, "If you can't do it in our county, go to another county to invite it. Father, I have already inquired. There is a Taoist priest in Huabei County. I heard that the spell is powerful and can be effective. My son will go to Huabei County in person. Invite an expert here."

"Your brother's death was wronged. We must avenge this revenge." Sun Yuanwai was not a good person either.He started out as a bandit, and later moved to Dongye County to buy a farmhouse before becoming a member of the staff. "If it's really a ghost, he will have to pay our Sun family's life." "Boss, take someone to guard by the Dongye tree and see if the ghost has other moves." Let's go to Huadong County to invite an expert."

Young Master Sun was rather unwilling, why did this difficult matter fall on him.The second child had a bad fall.No matter how unwilling he is, he dare not disobey his father now.He answered yes readily, but his heart was not happy.Young Master Sun went out to find the boy, and ordered the boy to take people to collect the black dog and the yellow talisman.The boy got the order and ran out to do some business.Young Master Sun walked back to his yard depressedly with his hands behind his back.

"Big boy."

"Zhou Liang?" Zhou Liang is the servant next to the third brother.Now Young Master Sun is a little apprehensive when he sees the people in the third room, and always feels that they are all about to die.At this time, Zhou Liang's face was pale, and the blood was gone from his lips, as if he didn't look like a living person.Young Master Sun suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, "Why don't you take a good rest and come looking for me?"

"Young Master." Zhou Liang lowered his head, his burly figure was like a hill.When he didn't raise his head, he couldn't see the scars on his face, so he didn't look so fierce. "Those things happened. I..." Zhou Liang said tremblingly, "I'm the only servant of the Third Young Master left. I, I'm afraid. That goblin will really kill me."

The third young master of the Sun family had four servants in total, and the three who died before had been with the third young master Sun for more than ten years.This Zhou Liang followed Sun Sanshao only two years ago.Thinking of the tragic death of Young Master Sun Shan and his three servants, and looking at the only servants left in front of him, Young Master Sun felt intrusive.He waved his hand and said, "If you want to go home, go home."

Zhou Liang packed his bags and closed the door of the house where he lived for two years.The sun climbed out of the clouds, and it was warm on the body.After stepping out of Sun's house, Zhou Liang turned his head, with a piercing smile on his pale face.But that smile was fleeting, Zhou Liang quickly lowered his head, carried his own burden, and left as if fleeing.

With Zhou Liang's accident, his suspicions were completely cleared away.Anyone who went to see him has seen blood all over the room and wounds all over his body.

Ankang dragged his chin and looked at Huzi who was walking back and forth in the room to pack his things. He recalled in his mind the Sun family he saw on the day of chanting.It could be said that the murderer was one of Sun Sanshao's two elder brothers. There is no reason or feeling to talk about such things as fighting for family property.

After picking up the uncle's family, Ankang and An Zhonghua set off for Yuyang County.Ankang was curious about the follow-up of Dongyeshu's murder, so he asked An Houzai to help him find out.After finishing the work, An Zhonghua was not in a hurry to rush home.It gave Ankang a lot of opportunities to have fun.At first, An Houzai only liked to stay in his room and study, unlike Ankang who ran around lively.He was afraid that his uncle would think he was playful and dislike him.When I arrived in Yuyang County in the future, I had to rely on my uncle's breath.Later, he couldn't stand Ankang's invitation, so he often played in the street.

Ankang smacked the candied haws and said, "Cousin, the ancients said that reading thousands of books can travel thousands of miles. It is not enough to just bury your head in reading every day, and you must know things that are not in the books. Otherwise, you will definitely become a nerd."

An Houzai smiled wryly, his cousin is the most eccentric.He is the only child of his uncle's family, and he has a superior background, so how can he know the troubles of these people.

"Master." Huzi tugged at Ankang's sleeve, "Look at that man. Is that man the fierce man we met in Dongye County?"

Ankang and An Houzai fixed their eyes on the tea stand in front of them.There was only a strong man sitting at a table in the tea stall, and the strong man was sweating profusely, and he drank three bowls of tea in a row.The strong man had a scar on his face from the right side across the bridge of the nose to the left side, with a fierce look on his face.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, An Houzai said, "It is indeed Zhou Liang."

With so many people on the street, Ankang was not afraid that Zhou Liang would be violent and hurt people in the street, so he walked over carelessly and asked, "May I ask if your brother is Zhou Liang?"

The strong man shook his head and smiled, "I'm not Zhou Liang, I'm Lin Yuan."

Ankang asked strangely, "Oh? But I remember that we met in the lotus pond on the outskirts of Dongye County. I also saw you when the Sun family invited monks to chant scriptures under the tree."

A flash of panic flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he quickly calmed down again. He continued to eat a bowl of tea before saying unhurriedly, "Perhaps the young master misjudged the person. But meeting is fate. I will tell the young master a story." Let's go." When it came to telling stories, Lin Yuan was in an inexplicably good mood. "Sit down, both of you, and let Lin tell the story."

"This story is very old. About 50 years ago, there was a rich man in the town. The rich man had a son in his old age, and he doted on his youngest son in every possible way, so this youngest son developed a domineering personality. Later, when he grew up, he became a bully. This young master married more than a dozen concubines when he grew up. He snatched eight of the ten concubines. One day, a newly pregnant woman went to the town to go to the market. Where Knowing that the young master actually fell in love with him. The young master recruited his servants to snatch the girl away. Unexpectedly, she was killed. The wife's husband is a very weak man. He didn't dare to report to the officials, but only took his wife's The body was taken back and buried in a hurry. Then he left the town. He wanted revenge, and he wished he could eat the young master's flesh raw. He learned martial arts everywhere and worked hard every day. After ten years, he finally decided to go back for revenge. The young man who was applying for a job in the mansion stayed by his side to protect the young master because of his good skills. He was always looking for opportunities. He was always looking for opportunities. It was not until two years later that he felt that the time was right. First, he killed the young master's servant , and then poisoned the young master. The young master and his servants will all die, and they will die badly." Lin Yuan laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

Ankang, An Houzai and Huzi looked at him silently.Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the truth.

"Heaven has eyes, it's not that we don't report, it's that the time hasn't come yet." Lin Yuan got up and left after saying this.

Ankang and the three were still sitting at the table, unable to move for a while after being shocked by the truth.
