After waiting for a long time, Lianyi didn't see Wen Zhaoming come to the door, so he asked Hehua casually, but was answered by the quick-talking Cuihua at the side, and then he learned that a murder had occurred in Wenjia Village.

"So the police are suspicious of Brother Ming? I think Wednesday's family is the most suspicious. After all, their whole family is missing."

"That's the same guess in their village, but there's no conclusion yet. I heard that even the corpses are still parked in the yizhuang without being buried. Village Chief Wen's hair has turned white."

Lotus added a rare sentence.

After hearing this, Lianyi said:
  "So it is not a good thing to say that a tree has big branches and four generations live under one roof. If a family of more than twenty people live together, there will definitely be stumbling blocks. If the wife is too partial to others, conflicts will arise, which will accumulate over time. Next, one day it will explode."

"Miss is right. Fortunately, except for that aunt, Miss, no one can restrain you. If you can pass the exam all the way, no one will dare to feel uncomfortable in front of Miss."

An He said sincerely.

"Cuihua, when will the case be concluded?"

"Miss, I don't know that."

"Then go and ask around. I want to know if my guess is right."

Ripple ordered.

"Yes, miss!"

Cuihua also wanted to know the result, so she took her horse to find out the news. Fortunately, they were not far from Wenjia Village, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get the first-hand information.

At noon the next day, a team of policemen passed by Sujiazhuang and asked for a drink of water. Suzhuangtou was very good at things. He not only prepared food and water for the policemen, but also asked the people on the village to help give the horses water. After getting water and fresh grass, they sent the group away.

That afternoon, Cuihua came back on horseback and brought back the latest news about the Wenjia Village poisoning case.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Lianyi leaned on his soft couch and said while eating melon seeds.

Cuihua first drank a bowl of herbal tea, and then said:

"Miss, you don't even know that Brother Wen is famous now. He was the one who drugged the other two families of the Zhou family this time, but I don't know where he has gone now."

"Really him?"

Lianyi raised her eyebrows and asked.

“This matter starts with the opening of the ancestral hall in Wenjia Village.”

Cuihua first told what happened in the ancestral hall, and then continued:

"According to the police investigation, the two remaining members of the Zhou family and the old couple were poisoned to death. The poison was arsenic and was put in the dinner.

The police found out that the arsenic was bought at a shop in the county, and the person who bought the medicine was Third Brother Wen.

Moreover, after the Zhou family died of poisoning, the neighbors only saw people from the third room of the Zhou family going out. The two of them explained that they were driven out by their elders to open up wasteland. In fact, they took their household registration to the county to divide their households.

This matter originally had to go through the village chief, but they went directly to the county government and sold the family's twenty-four acres of land, saying that they wanted to educate their children.

Because the money was stuffed privately and the land was sold directly to the middleman, the matter went smoothly. After that, the family of five left the county, and no one knew where they went. "

Ripple clicked her tongue twice after hearing this, it was really vicious.

"I also heard another theory. People who fled here with the Zhou family said that Zhou Yuniang's mother is not Zhou Yu's biological daughter, so she has been squeezing her younger daughter to support her two older sisters since she was a child."

"If you put it like this, the cause and effect relationship is correct. After all, the youngest child in the family is usually the most favored. On the contrary, the Zhou family turned it upside down. The other party found that there was no hope of separating the family, so it made sense that they took this step in the end.

So whatever you do, you have to leave some room for it, and at least leave yourself a way out.

However, I think it is a bit extreme to go to this step to separate the family. There must be something we don't know about. "

Ripple threw away the melon seed skin, took a sip of tea and said. “Although it was Third Brother Wen who bought the arsenic, I think it was Zhou Niang who poisoned me.”

Ripple said lightly.

"That's what the policeman guessed too. After all, a guy isn't that bold."

After Lianyi thought about it, he asked Shijiu directly:

"Did that Wednesday girl do it?"

"Yes, and she did it for revenge."

"tell me the story."

Ripple didn't expect that there was a bigger melon.

"It's not a complicated matter. On the way to escape from famine, the Zhou family and Zhou Niang's biological mother met. They were greedy for the mother's money, so the family covered her to death, and then said she was starved to death. And when the refugees were about to arrest Zhou Niang, they pretended to rescue Zhou Niang and kept her by his side.

I don’t know whether she wanted to seek peace of mind or to show her benevolence, but Zhou Niang, who was five years old at the time, was precocious and saw the murder of her biological mother with her own eyes. In order to survive, she could only pretend to know nothing and escaped. A calamity.

It's a pity that she was too young at the time and had no ability to take revenge, so she could only lie dormant. She even recognized her mother's murderer as her mother. She grew up stumbling along the way, married a husband, and had children.

This time, the incident involving Wen's third brother was the trigger, but he had obviously been prepared for it. This time, he could deal with the Zhou family all at once. The land of the Zhou family was sold, and all the money hidden by the Zhou family was taken away by her. In total, there are three hundred taels of silver. "

Shi Jiu explained it very clearly.

"This third brother Wen is also a fool. It won't be long before he dies and will be sold."

Lianyi said somewhat coolly.

"You really guessed it. In Wuyi County, Zhou Zhou's mother poisoned the third brother Wen to mute and sold him directly."

Even Shi Jiu felt that this woman was cruel enough.

After Lianyi had eaten the melon to her satisfaction, she let Cuihua rest for two days while she continued to copy scriptures.

On the day when the first snow fell, Wen Zhaoming came to Sujiazhuang with his sister carrying a basket of things.

Lianyi also acted elegantly. He was cooking wine and enjoying the snow in the yard, so he let the two of them come in to talk.

When they met again this time, Yueyue's complexion was obviously much better, and Brother Ming's brows were also relaxed a lot. When the brother and sister saw Lianyi, they both bowed respectfully.

"We are all acquaintances. No need to be so polite. Sit down and talk."

Ripple waved her hand.

"Thank you, Miss, for your help many times. My sister and I really had nothing to repay, so we made a big cloak with the gray rabbit skins we saved. I hope Miss will not dislike it. This is our sincerity."

Wen Zhaoming was a little embarrassed, but he still explained his purpose.

"Well, I happen to be missing a big cloak, let me see it."

Ripple said with a smile.

Wen Zhaoyue found that Lianyi didn't dislike it, so she immediately opened the cover of the frame, pulled out a bundle inside with difficulty, and handed it to her eldest brother.

Although Wen Zhaoming was a little shy, he still opened the baggage, opened a gray rabbit fur cloak, and handed it to An He beside him.

An He took a look and didn't say anything. Naturally, his lady didn't lack such things, but it was a thank you gift at least. Although it was gray rabbit fur, it was well tanned and the color of the fur was very bright. It can be seen that the two brothers and sisters are Put some thought into it.

"It looks good. Let me put it on and see."
