Chasing brother for thousands of miles

-----

The last place Qixian and Wen Nianyuan went to was the Chen Mansion.

The white lantern at the gate of the Chen Mansion swayed rustlingly, and the people entering and exiting underneath all had mournful expressions on their faces. The entire courtyard was lifeless, and even the breath of living people was suppressed.

The body of the young master of the Chen family has not been sent back to the yamen, and only the coffin and a set of clothes from his lifetime are placed in the mourning hall for people to pay homage to.

When the newly promoted Xiao Zheng butler saw Qi Xian and Wen Nianyuan coming hand in hand, his unattractive face paled even more, and he pointed at the two "you, you, you" for a long time without saying anything meaningful. With a final stomp, he ran inside.

I have to say that this new housekeeper is far behind Cui Youde - but at the same time, he is much easier to control.

Even though the people in Chen's mansion looked like they had seen an evil star when they saw them, Qixian still didn't stop to enter the door. Over the years, he had seen too many such eyes, so many that they had already calmed down.

Only Wen Nianyuan saw the slight hesitation under his feet at that moment, and the appearance of a certain little doll appeared in front of him unexpectedly.

Although that man has always been unruly, he has always kept promises, but this time he has to break his promise to such a child, which is probably the reason for his hesitation.

Before the two of them reached the mourning hall, they heard a hoarse scream suddenly sounded there, so shrill and desperate, almost collapsed, it made people feel creepy.

A white shadow flashed before Qixian's eyes, and a woman in a white mourning dress with disheveled hair rushed towards him, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, waving desperately to stab him.

That is Mrs. Chen.

In just a few days, this weak and slender woman who could only cry when something happened has completely changed her appearance, crazy, desperate, and desperate.

"I killed you, who suffered a thousand knives! It was you who killed my son, it was you! It was you! It was you! Yingxiang... Yingxiang... Mother avenged you, hahahahaha, watch!" she said Talking to himself upside down, he desperately took the scissors and stabbed at Qixian's chest.

Such a clumsy movement, not to mention facing a martial arts master, even a third-rate low hand can easily block it, but Qixian didn't know what was thinking, and he was distracted at this moment.

Or he wasn't distracted, he was just watching, the little child in the mourning hall was rubbing his red eyes and looking up at him, his face was full of bewildered sadness.

Stretched out a hand from the slant, firmly grasped Mrs. Chen's wrist, and pulled her aside. Wen Nianyuan gave Qixian a disapproving look, and comforted her: "Mrs. Chen, please calm down."

However, he was used to such a cold tone of voice, and it sounded more like a warning to others.The tone that makes people feel refreshed or uncomfortable has always belonged to Qixian, but Qixian doesn't want to speak now.

Mrs. Chen, who was a bit demonic, had great strength, and Wen Nianyuan couldn't catch him with his internal strength. Fortunately, someone came up soon and helped him hold him.

At this time, Chen Hongwei from the innermost part of the mourning hall deliberately stood up and scolded Mrs. Chen, "What nonsense is that ignorant woman talking! Yingxiang was killed by those wolf-hearted thieves surnamed Cui. A hero finds them!"

Then he turned around and cupped his hands to Qixian and Wen Nianyuan, apologetically said: "Zhuojing is a bit crazy, please don't take it to heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Chen, who was being supported by the servants, suddenly struggled again, crying with tears all over her face, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! If it wasn't for this person's bad idea, let's obediently send the money over, and Yingxiang would have settled down a long time ago." back!"

Seeing that she was about to rush out again, Chen Hongwei had no choice but to wink at the people and ask them to carry her back into the room.

Seeing that the person was taken away, he carefully looked at Qi Xian's face, if he really didn't have any resentment in his heart, that would be impossible, in fact, he also felt that his wife's words were reasonable.

But so what, for a Jianghu person like Mr. Qixian, it's not a problem to kill him when he gets angry, he can only smile.

"Clumsy Jing is not awake, hero, don't worry about it. That child Yingxiang, actually..." Speaking of the eldest son who passed away, there was an unconcealable sadness in his eyes, and he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, "No wonder this happened Hero, if it weren't for you two, I would still be kept in the dark by a group of people who eat inside and out, such a great kindness, I will never forget it!"

Qixian looked at the black and white and solemn mourning hall, and Chen Hongwei's perfunctory words kept coming into his ears, is it a great kindness?I'm afraid not. Although the kidnappers were found, they could not save lives.

In the bottom of their hearts, the Chen family might hate him even more, that little fat man—

He quietly walked forward, took the incense and lit it, lowered his eyes to salute, then inserted the incense, and then looked back at Chen Yingrui who was sitting on the ground with a slight nod.

Chen Yingrui opened her small mouth slightly, and looked at Qi Xian blankly.

The series of recent incidents at home have completely confused him. From the moment he sits at a loss in the mourning hall that has become black and white, the world seems to have completely changed.

"Beautiful brother..." Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, he flattened his mouth and wanted to cry, "They said, my brother died. If he died, he just couldn't come back, and couldn't play with me anymore." , Really? You clearly said that he will come back. "

Chen Hongwei next to him twitched his lips, and just about to step forward to smooth things over, he saw the man in white who seemed to be aloof all the time, slowly squatting down, holding the little boy in his arms, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Perhaps not understanding why the pretty brother said sorry, Chen Yingrui leaned on his soft and fragrant arms, blinking blankly, and a string of crystal tears fell down.

Seeing that Qixian didn't mean to blame the youngest son, Chen Hongwei relaxed a little, but his heart was still tightly blocked and there was nowhere to let it go. He couldn't help but said gloomyly: "Those three beasts, beheading the capital is too light, a thousand swords All cuts are not too much, when the time comes—no, we can’t wait until after autumn, we have to make a decisive decision!”

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, obviously he had made a decision.Although his family has lost half of their wealth, there is absolutely no shortage of gold and silver for the government and the executioner.

Anyway, those three are already capital crimes, as long as they give gifts, there is no difference if they die earlier or later, and the sooner they die, the sooner they pay for his son's life!

Moreover, we must not let them cut off their heads neatly, it is too difficult to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

According to the underlying rules, beheading also has its pleasures and displeasures. If someone hates the prisoner so much that he wants to make him unhappy, as long as he pays for it, the executioner will not be able to cut the knife at that time.

Chen Hongwei obviously had such a plan. He lost his beloved son, and probably couldn't wait for a moment. If he could, he might want to drag people to Caishikou to chop up and abandon the market to show the public.

At the latest, he can only wait until tomorrow.

Hearing the words, Qixian got up suddenly, looked at him quietly and said: "Boss Chen, I'm sorry for being rude, but I'm afraid that Mr. Ling was not killed by those three people."

"What do you mean?!" Chen Hongwei's face turned cold immediately, and the clay figurine is also somewhat earthy. He is already humble enough, what do these two people want to do now!

Qixian also understands that now is not a good time, but Chen Hongwei's murderous intention has already appeared, if he doesn't speak out, he absolutely can't wait.

"The three thieves in the court have confessed with their own mouths, signed and pledged in black and white. Are you going to reverse the confession for others? How much benefit did they give you?! Very good, very good, what kind of hero, is actually this kind of profit Shameless villain who forgets his righteousness!"

Chen Hongwei was furious and suddenly courageous, Qi Xian and Wen Nianyuan were chased out by the Chen family like chickens, and the door was closed behind with a "bang", showing extreme unwelcome.

Wen Nianyuan looked at Qixian, and Qixian looked back at him, it's not that he can't resist, it's just that he can't.What they are facing is just ordinary people.

Obviously should be embarrassed, but when they look at each other, their eyes are still as quiet as a deep pool.

Reaching out to wipe off a little stain on Qixian's shoulder, Wen Nianyuan also felt helpless, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Why do you—" The Chen family was in mourning, and wanted to eat the flesh and blood of Cui Youde and the other three.

The murderer has been imprisoned is their only consolation now, tell them this now, even if it is true, they will not accept it.

What's more, the Chen family obviously didn't trust them at the moment, and they only wanted to let Cui Zhaogeng and the three of them die.

"Do you think it's very suitable?" Qixian suddenly said inexplicably.

Wen Nianyuan was startled, "What?"

Looking up at the white lanterns hanging under the eaves to represent funerals, Qixian was silent, and raised her hands slightly, her white sleeves danced lightly with the wind, and then slowly fell down.

The white clothes are dyed with frost at night, and what is dyed is the color of mourning, the cold frost of death.

Wen Nianyuan suddenly panicked, and couldn't help reaching out to grab the person in front of him, for fear that he would accidentally run away and disappear forever.

Qixian looked back at him and smiled, as if nothing happened just now, "Let's go. Our time is running out."

Find out the truth before Chen Hongwei manages the Yamen.

At the same time, Shi Taihe, the clerk of the yamen, was humming a song and drinking wine at home.

There are not many homicide cases in Jinguancheng, so he doesn't have much use for his skills, and he has been living a leisurely life.

It's just that this job is unlucky, and neither the eldest nor the younger can marry a wife.

Tsk, if you don't have a wife, you don't have a wife. It's more comfortable to drink a little wine.

He crossed his legs triumphantly and hummed casually, thinking about the dead body of the young master in the kidnapping case of the Chen family that caused a sensation in the city.When he saw it when it was delivered, he felt that it was a bit horrible. There was no good face left, and the attack was too ruthless!

Shi Taihe knew that he was weak, and he was not very good at autopsy, but this kind of job was not up for grabs, and he was not worried about losing his job.

If you ask him, those people are still too stupid. If you want to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces thoroughly, burn half of them and bury them, isn't that sick?

He poured himself another glass of wine, took a sigh of relief, let out a long sigh of satisfaction, Shi Taihe was thinking about whether to take a nap, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

He inadvertently thought that there seemed to be something wrong with the traces on the body of the young master of the Chen family, but now he couldn't remember clearly just by recalling it.

Once this suspicious shadow appeared in his heart, Shi Taihe couldn't sit still any longer, frowned deeply, and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back.

You know, the case has already been settled, if he finds out something now, it will not be a good thing.

Do you want to go and have a look...

After hesitating for a while, Shi Taihe gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, raised his neck and drank the wine in the flagon in one go, making up his mind to go out.

He opened the door with a "creak" sound, and was about to go out, but he was stunned on the spot, staring at the door blankly, as if he saw something, his face was full of shock.
