A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Strictly speaking, Qi Zhengyu's death was not only in Qi Huan's expectation, but even in her calculation.

She took a deep breath, readjusted her emotions, and quickly walked into the room.

At this time, Mrs. Yang and the others also entered the back room, gathered around Qi Zhengyu's bed, knelt in a circle, wept and wiped away their tears, playing the role of filial son and grandson.

But only Yu Shi, who was only one step earlier than Qi Huan, was still standing on the side of the screen, dumbfounded and motionless.

Qi Huan walked to her side and called her as a reminder: "Grandma?"

Yu Shi's expression at this time was actually very bad, but because everyone's attention was on Qi Zhengyu, Qi Wenjing and others didn't even notice her.

Qi Huan called her softly, but Yu shivered as if waking up from a dream.

She hastily turned her head to look at Qi Huan.

When the four eyes met, facing the girl's clear and cold eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, the old lady suddenly avoided her sight instinctively.

But she knew what Qi Huan meant——

This girl ran over to call her here, and it happened that Qi Zhengyu was dying, so she couldn't stay out of it.

"Oh, master..." Yu took out a handkerchief and covered his face, and ran in while crying.

Qi Wenjing and the others just followed the sound and turned their heads, but she closed her eyes just as she walked around the screen, and fell to the ground in a faint.

"Mother!" Yang Shi and Cen Shi who were closest to her hurriedly turned around to help her.

Mrs. Yu came here just now, and brought a few maidservants with her. Most of them were waiting in the yard, but there was a confidant Mama Wan who followed her to serve.

Seeing this, Wan's mother rushed up to help Mrs Yu in a panic, and at the same time rushed outside to call out: "The old lady is dizzy, come quickly!"

Immediately three or four more people rushed in from outside.

Mama Wan was just about to order them to carry Mrs. Yu back to her yard, but Qi Huan had already said first: "There is a sleeping couch next to it, move grandma there first."

Mama Wan's words were choked back immediately, and she never dared to choke with the young lady.

The sleeping couch in Qi Zhengyu's room was originally placed in the outer room, but because he was so suspicious that he couldn't sleep at night, the sleeping couch was moved directly to the inner room and placed next to the bed he slept on. The servant slept on it, to strengthen his courage.

Everyone rushed to move Mrs. Yu over.

Yu Shi gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly, but her scalp was so numb that she felt that her hair was about to stand on end.

But she just pretended to faint, and she couldn't wake up immediately...

It just so happened that Dr. Chen was also in the room at the moment, he looked over, first at Yang, then at Qi Huan, then at the mother and daughter of the second room, seeing that none of them asked him to show the old lady first, so he also Never looked for trouble, and looked away again.

In this room, as soon as the old Hou Ye left, he was miserable and very creepy. After the maids helped, they hurried out and knelt back to the yard again.

Mama Wan's duty was to guard the Yu family, so she glanced at Qi Zhengyu who was lying upright on the bed not far away...

Immediately, he didn't think about it, and retreated with the crowd.

Everyone guarded Qi Zhengyu's body and wept for a while, and then Qi Wenjing, the eldest son, came forward to preside over the funeral.

At this time, people pay attention to the dead, especially the dignified and dignified families, and the ostentation of doing white things is even more grand than doing red things.

At Qi Zhengyu's age, his birthday materials and shrouds at home have all been prepared long ago.

While Qi Wenjing sent people to fetch them, he also asked people to prepare the tools for calling back souls. In addition, he had to arrange people to call back Qi Wenjing, Qi Wenxian, Qi Wenyan, and Qi Yuanxu who were in Beijing.

As for other relatives and friends...

It's not good to disturb people in the middle of the night, you can wait until tomorrow the mourning hall is set up and everything is ready before the funeral.

Well, I have to write to Qi Yuanming, Qi Changge and Qi Wenheng who are out of town.

Mrs. Yang assisted him by checking for omissions and making up for vacancies, and stopped the servant who was about to be sent to Qi Yuanxu's place: "The eldest young mistress is pregnant, and now the month is getting older, so it would be a collision. You tell her to let her take care of the baby, so you don't have to worry about it." coming."

Qi Changge who is away is basically treated in the same way, and even if she sends someone to report the funeral, she doesn't have to travel all the way back.

As soon as his husband and wife made arrangements, all the servants in the yard were dispatched.

When everyone turned back to the house, except for Dr. Chen, the rest of them were all from their own family.

Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenang's expressions were obviously not good.

Qi Huan didn't intend to stay out of the matter. Seeing that none of them took the initiative to speak, she pretended to ask curiously: "How did I hear that my grandfather was poisoned, was it caused by swallowing cinnabar? It stands to reason that cinnabar is also a kind of medicinal material. The doctor ordered that taking a small amount can cure the disease, and my grandfather didn't take it for a long time, so how could something like this go wrong?"

Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, has the effects of clearing heart, calming convulsions, calming nerves and improving eyesight, and can be used to relieve symptoms of palpitations, insomnia and dreaminess.

The Taoist priest who came over to make Qi Zhengyu drink the talisman water painted with cinnabar was actually prescribing the right medicine to pretend to be a miracle.

At the same time, cinnabar is also poisonous, so it should not be taken in excess or taken for a long time, otherwise it will be poisoned.

Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenang are not magic sticks. People who have read sage books for many years will read a few medical books no matter what. Cinnabar is a common thing. They should be familiar with these basic common sense. It's just that Qi Zhengyu has been having nightmares before and can't sleep well. , Others in the tossing house were also in pain, they saw that since asking the Taoist priest to drink talisman water can get rid of his inner demons and make him calm down, they let him go.

And Qi Zhengyu himself knew that the cinnabar was poisonous, and it was not advisable to take too much at one time. Of course, his mental state is not very normal now. If he was really tortured crazy and swallowed a large amount of cinnabar regardless of his care, it is not impossible.

Yang Shi and Cen Shi didn't think about anything else before, and they couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, and they all looked at Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen was under great pressure, but he didn't dare to answer casually, so he went to see Qi Wenjing and the other two.

Then, Qi Wenang said in a deep voice: "Father has indeed had the habit of drinking talisman water to stave off shocks recently, but tonight he took too much arsenic."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Yang family was shocked.

Qi Xin was even more frightened and hid behind Cen, hiding his face, not daring to look at the corpse on the bed again.

The atmosphere in the whole room was startlingly silent for a moment. Everyone was thinking about each other, and they all stopped talking.

After a while, it was still Yang who broke the silence: "So, is this going to be hidden?"

When the old man was dying, his two sons were guarding the bedside. He overdoses on highly poisonous substances. In fact, he passed away very quickly. The two of them took Dr. Chen to clean up all kinds of complications after the poisoning as much as possible.

And the reason why they did this tacitly was because they each had their own selfish motives.

Qi Wenjing was one step earlier than Qi Wenang, and heard from the steward that Qi Wenyan came to deliver a piece of talisman paper. Although he didn't believe that Qi Wenyan would poison the old man in this way, the old man really did happen after taking the talisman water , as long as this matter is investigated, Qi Wenyan is the biggest suspect who bears the brunt.

He would never let Qi Wenyan get involved in this kind of incident.

And Qi Wenang——

As long as the old man was not poisoned by Qi Wenjing, then no matter who killed him, the title of the Marquis Mansion would surely be in the hands of Qi Wenjing, and based on his understanding of his elder brother, Qi Wenjing would be the only one in the entire family. Wen Jing is the least likely to attack the old man.Since he won't get any benefit even if he finds out the real culprit, and even has to be laughed at by outsiders because of such a scandal at home...

The gain outweighs the loss, why did you do it?
Once the old man dies, they all have to worry about it. After three years of quietly attending the funeral, they may not have a chance to be reinstated. It's hard to say that I can return to the officialdom smoothly.

Therefore, he actually hoped that this matter could be bypassed smoothly even more than Qi Wenjing.

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" So, this time, it was what Qi Wenang said, "Sue the government and ask someone to investigate the real culprit behind the poisoning of father? Let's hide first and deal with the funeral decently. Manager Lu has already been arrested. My eldest brother and I ordered someone to seize it, and in private, we covered it and investigated it slowly."

As a junior, Qi Huan actually has no say in dealing with this kind of matter.

Seeing that Qi Wenjing was acquiescing, Yang naturally didn't want to be troublesome, and just said: "Then make preparations and enshrine father as soon as possible, and he will be mourned at dawn."

Qi Wenang looked at Mrs. Cen: "Write a letter to Brother Ming and tell him to come back for the funeral."

"Okay!" Cen nodded.

Qi Wenjing was an idle leader in the court anyway, and he had a title of honor, and he was not attached to officialdom, so the death of the old man...

In fact, the most uncomfortable and frustrating thing is the second room!

Ding You said it was three years, but it was actually twenty-seven months, but these twenty-seven months alone are enough to wipe out the hard work of a person for half a lifetime.

Qi Wenang, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, has only been in the job for a few months, and his buttocks are still hot. After three years of retirement, it is impossible to wait for him for three years, and he may not be able to return to the officialdom. Looking for a job vacancy.

Cen obviously realized this at the first time, and both husband and wife were frowning.

After everyone had arranged the stalls they were responsible for, they split up and prepared to go, but before Qi Xin left, he noticed Yu Shi who was "fainted" on the couch, and frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Grandma just let her sleep here? Do you want to move her back to the back room?"

Before anyone else could speak, Qi Huan spoke first: "I almost forgot, Dr. Chen, take your grandmother's pulse. I saw that she was overly frightened and sad before she passed out. It should be... nothing serious, right? "

Everyone stopped in their tracks, waiting for the result of Dr. Chen's pulse diagnosis.

Dr. Chen dragged the stool, and squeezed Yu Shi's wrist calmly.

Yu Shi was pretending to be dizzy, and her heart was very guilty, and because Qi Zhengyu's body was lying not far from her, she still felt uneasy, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to her condition at first, but seeing Dr. Chen diagnosing her pulse, his brows became tighter and tighter...

The hearts of the Qi Wenjing brothers also continued to rise, and their brows became tighter and tighter.

Qi Wenang even became a little annoyed and thought——

If there is really something wrong, why not tell the old lady to go with the old man, otherwise, when the old lady is gone, he will have to worry about another twenty-seven months!
The official positions obtained after ten or twenty years of hard work are enough to be defeated by Ding You in two consecutive games.

Mrs. Cen was also very anxious. Seeing that Dr. Chen was still inconclusive, she couldn't help urging: "Doctor Chen, is mother's condition not good?"

Dr. Chen glanced at her, then continued to concentrate and took the pulse again.

Qi Huan said: "I see that grandma's face is rosy, and when she first came here, she walked very steadily when the wind was blowing on her feet. It doesn't look like she has any physical problems."

Dr. Chen has practiced medicine for many years, and he is resident in Qi's family. He knows almost the temperament of all the masters in this family. The old lady is pretending to be dizzy.

At this time, I could only follow Qi Huan's words, and tentatively said: "It's true that there is nothing serious about checking the pulse, or... the little one, give me two injections?"

"Also..." Qi Wenjing wanted to nod, but Qi Huan said: "Since grandma is fine, let her fall asleep, she must be emotionally unstable if grandpa suddenly disappears, if we wake up, we will have to separate again To take care of her will only add to the chaos."

Mrs. Yu has always been confused, and messed around regardless of the occasion.

Everyone was distracted for a moment and didn't think much about it. At this moment, thinking about the old lady's usual temper, they all expressed their agreement.

Then, Qi Wenjing led the crowd to retreat.

Qi Huan reminded him while walking: "Father, call someone to come over later and collect all the last things he used and touched in grandfather's room first, maybe we can follow the clues to find some clues about the murderer."

"En." Qi Wenjing still has some feelings for his father. It would be fine for the old man to die, but now that he died unexpectedly like this, he was somewhat frustrated and upset.

As the group left the house, their voices and footsteps gradually faded away.

Yu Shi, who was lying in the room, followed the sound of their footsteps as they walked farther and farther away, feeling more and more frightened in his heart.

She knew that only her and the old man's corpses were left in this room, and an inexplicable chill penetrated into her body almost from every bone seam.

She almost couldn't wait to get up, tried her best to avoid, didn't pay much attention to the person lying next to her pillow on the bed, and tried to ignore his existence as much as possible, ran to the outer room in a few steps, and sat on the brazier I didn't care about the hot kettle body, so I covered it with my wide sleeve and ran away quickly.

However, she just turned around...

The half-hidden door was suddenly pushed open, and her two sons with black faces blocked the way.

Yu Shi was horrified, and if he didn't notice, he could already smell a strong burnt smell.

The next moment, she belatedly lowered her head and looked at the hot copper kettle because she accidentally touched her clothes and burned a huge hole in her sleeve.

Frightened, she threw the kettle away.

In the blink of an eye, the two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters also left and returned.

Qi Wenjing's face was as heavy as water, and he walked into the room first, staring at his mother for a moment, but ordered Dr. Chen in a cold tone: "Check that kettle!"

At this time, Mrs. Yu was already frightened, and when she realized it, Dr. Chen had already bent over and picked up the kettle on the ground.

She rushed forward in a hurry, kicked the kettle aside, and at the same time scolded her son furiously: "What is it? I'm in this water..."

At this point, she suddenly shut up as if her tongue had been cut.

Qi Wenjing only said to test the kettle, which can be completely understood as he suspected that the water in the kettle was not clean, in order to avoid his wife drinking it by mistake, so he asked Dr. Chen to check it.

And Yu Shi's yelling like this is almost tantamount to self-reporting, it's hard for people not to suspect her.

Doctor Chen didn't go to the side to grab the kettle, but simply took the silver needle to test the hot water spilled on the ground.

After a test, the silver needle quickly turned black.

Doctor Chen was shocked, and turned to look at Qi Wenjing and the two brothers.

The mood of Qi Wenjing and the two of them at this time is probably that they are afraid and wish they could kill each other...

As soon as they came out of the house, Dr. Chen told the truth, saying that Mrs. Yu was pretending to be dizzy, and the two brothers either suspected that she was the old man who killed her, or they had doubts, so they turned their heads to look through the crack of the door, but they didn't want this. At a glance, it was stolen and seized.

Qi Wenjing was only disappointed and angry, coupled with disheartened heart, while Qi Wenang really wanted to strangle his own mother to death on the spot at this moment——

After the death of his own father, he will have Ding You for three years, and then he will find a mother who murdered his own husband, and he can directly sue his old age and return to his hometown without having to struggle again!
