Chapter 251 Monster

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I'll go find him and ask him this afternoon," Yuan Wenshao said.

"Then please leave it to Erlang. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Mrs. Wang said.

"Mom, let's go after dinner." Hua Lan persuaded.

"No, I have a lot of things waiting for me at home." Mrs. Wang refused.

Mo Lan will get married in a few days, and no matter how displeased she is with Mo Lan, as a eldest lady, she can't shirk such a thing.

Hua Lan persuaded Mrs. Wang a few more times, but when Mrs. Wang persisted, she did not persuade her any more, and she and Yuan Wenshao escorted Mrs. Wang out of the house.

"It's true that my aunt, Minglan, who has no enmity with her, did such a thing." Hua Lan sighed.

"Haha, there are all kinds of people in the world, and there is no shortage of people who don't like others' kindness." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to eat."

Hua Lan shook her head. She felt helpless and even ashamed to have such a relative.

"Let's go, Sister Wen will be screaming from hunger again soon." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Just pamper her. There is no shortage of snacks at home, so you can really keep her hungry." Hua Lan rolled her eyes at him with a charming look, and the couple walked towards the house.

"Big brother-in-law, big sister!"

At this moment, a carriage drove over. Sheng Changlin opened the curtain and shouted to the two of them.

"Chang Lin, why are you here?"

The two turned around and Hua Lan said in surprise.

Sheng Changlin got off the carriage and saluted: "Eldest sister, my grandmother asked me to tell my eldest brother-in-law something."

"Let's go in first."

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he guessed that Sheng Changlin's purpose of coming was similar to that of Mrs. Wang.

Sure enough, after arriving at the front hall, Sheng Changlin told him the purpose of his trip. Mrs. Sheng asked him to talk to Gu Tingye and let Gu Tingye release him quickly, otherwise it would be very detrimental to Gu Tingye if there was a big commotion.

"Okay, I understand this. You probably haven't eaten yet, so just stay here and eat." Yuan Wenshao said.

"That's right, Chang Lin. Let's have some fun here after dinner before leaving. I'll ask someone to come over and say something to my grandmother," Hua Lan said.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, eldest sister, but I have something I want to talk to my eldest brother-in-law about alone." Chang Lin said.

"I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. Let me talk to your eldest brother-in-law."

Hua Lan didn't ask any further questions, stood up and left the front hall.

"Okay, you all go down!" Yuan Wenshao said to the servants in the hall.

Since Sheng Changlin wanted to avoid Hua Lan, it was naturally inconvenient for his servants to be there. Yuan Wenshao didn't wait for him to speak and asked his servants to retreat.

"Okay, it's just the two of us now. If you have anything to say, just say it. Are you being bullied in school and you're embarrassed to say it?"

After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it.

"Eldest brother-in-law, you had that Kang Wang family kidnapped, right?" Sheng Changlin asked.

"Pfft~cough cough..."

Yuan Wenshao choked when he heard this. He coughed for a while and felt better. He didn't even bother to wipe the water off his clothes and asked, "How did you know... you brat, you lied to me?"

Yuan Wenshao saw a flash of understanding in Sheng Changlin's eyes and knew that he had been deceived by him.

When I think of this, I feel a little angry. I have been deceived by a seven or eight-year-old child in my two lives.

Sheng Changlin shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I guessed it when I heard the news. I just asked for confirmation."

"You guessed it? Then what is the basis?" Yuan Wenshao rolled his eyes.

"Grandma and the others think it was Gu Erlang who did this because of my sister. But I have known Gu Erlang carefully and he is quite orderly in his actions. He is not such a reckless person." Sheng Changlin's young face was filled with emotion. confidence.

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

He felt offended.

Why is it that Gu Tingye acts in a very orderly manner and is not so reckless, so he is acting recklessly with me?

"There is a saying that women want to please their appearance, and men want to please themselves. They are crazy. That guy Gu Tingye likes your sister. Isn't it normal to be crazy and lose your mind?" Yuan Wenshao curled his lips and said.

"The eldest brother-in-law is right. It may be possible. But Gu Erlang was kicked out of the Gu family and had the reputation of making his father angry. Even so, now that he has gained power, he has not done anything to Dalang of the Gu family and his stepmother. It can be seen that he is a very sensible and well-educated person. If he was really good for my sister, he would not be able to attack the Kang Wang family at this time." Sheng Changlin said.

Yuan Wenshao was a little unsure and said, "Do you know about the Gu family?"

Sheng Changlin was precocious, and Yuan Wenshao had already figured it out since he dared to break into Qi's house alone before.

But the Gu family's affairs were relatively secretive, so how could he possibly know about them.

"The Gu family's affairs are indeed relatively secretive, but it's not really a secret. It's not difficult to find out." Sheng Changlin said.

"Then tell me how you learned about it." Yuan Wenshao asked curiously.

"Generally, adults treat people our age as children. It's not their own secret, and they won't avoid us intentionally. Most of my classmates are descendants of Bianjing officials, and I learned a lot about the Gu family from them. Things. Although they didn't give details, I was able to analyze some of the Gu family's situation from those messages," Sheng Changlin said.

"Then tell me what's going on with the Gu family?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"The Dalang of the Gu family has been frail and sick since he was a child. He looked for famous doctors four times in the early years, but then he stopped looking. There are only two possibilities. One is that the Dalang of the Gu family was cured, and the other is that no one can cure him at all. Dalang of the Gu family has not been cured, which is obviously the second possibility. And the old lady of the Gu family treats her stepson better than her own son, which is obviously abnormal. With this news, it is not difficult to analyze the situation of the Gu family, right?" Sheng Changlin said.

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

Isn’t this difficult?

If it were not difficult, Gu Tingye would not have been deceived by Xiao Qin for so many years.

Although there are reasons for being obsessed with the authorities, there is no denying how clever Xiao Qin's methods are.

"Since ancient times, there are people who treat other people's children better than their own children, but there are reasons for that. After the death of Da Qin, Lao Guhou married the Bai family, and after the death of the Bai family, he married the Xiao Qin family. That little Qin family What reason does Mrs. Qin have to treat Gu Erlang better than her own child?" Sheng Changlin said calmly.

Indeed, it is not unheard of in ancient times to treat other people's children better than one's own.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, during the famine, Xia Houyuan starved his youngest son to death in order to save his deceased brother's daughter.

Although there are not many such examples, there are some.

But as Sheng Changlin said, there are certain reasons for this. It is indeed abnormal for Xiao Qin to do this for no reason.

But for a seven or eight-year-old child to be able to see so clearly, isn't it a bit too evil?

In the end, Yuan Wenshao could only attribute it to Sheng Changlin who had suffered so much from others since he was a child and had a clear understanding of human nature.

"Then what did you mean when you said that if Gu Tingye really cared about your sister, he would not attack the Kangwang family? Isn't it normal for him to care about your sister and help her vent her anger?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"I said I won't do it now, and I didn't say he shouldn't do it." Sheng Changlin shook his head and said: "During this period, because of the conflict between the Queen Mother and the officials, the people are talking about this matter, about my sister. The rumors disappeared. Now, no matter how clean he is, or even if he leaves no evidence, the Wang family will not let it go, and it will definitely make things worse."

"Once this happens, the rumors about my sister will be mentioned again. If I were Gu Erlang, I would choose to wait for a while before taking action. As long as I do it cleanly, the Wang family will not suspect him." Sheng Changlin said.

Yuan Wenshao wanted to refute, but he didn't know how.

Indeed, if Aunt Kang is moved at this time, the Wang family will inevitably analyze who is the most suspicious.

Once it was revealed that Aunt Kang was spreading rumors about Minglan, the most suspicious ones would be Mrs. Sheng and Gu Tingye.

Among them, Gu Tingye is the most suspected.

If Gu Tingye doesn't admit it or let him go, the Wang family will definitely make things worse.

If the trouble gets too big, the Wang family will tell Aunt Kang about spreading rumors about Minglan without any clues.

This situation is like when a person is killed. When investigating the case, the family members of the deceased will be asked immediately to find out who the victim has offended.

As long as the Wang family tells this matter, Gu Tingye will naturally become the first suspect and will be investigated.

And this matter must not be hidden. After the news spreads, the rumors about Minglan will be mentioned again.

On the contrary, if it takes a year and a half to take action, the Wang family will not think about it.

That way, it would be revenge, and it would not have any impact on Minglan, nor would it implicate herself.

Yuan Wenshao was silent for a long time and said, "Then how are you sure that I did this?"

"Kang Wang has a bad reputation in Bianjing and has offended many people, but she bullies the weak and fears the strong. If any of the people she offended were so bold, she would have died long ago. And this time, it seems that she was targeted at me. Sister, but the eldest sister is also implicated. With the eldest brother-in-law’s feelings for the eldest sister, he will definitely not let her go if he finds out.”

"And I think it is easier for the eldest brother-in-law to find out about this matter than Gu Erlang. Maybe Gu Erlang doesn't even know that the rumors about my sister were spread by the Kang Wang family," Sheng Changlin said.

"Why do you think so?" Yuan Wenshao asked in surprise.

"First of all, Gu Erlang has been kicked out of the Gu family a long time ago. He has not looked back home now. His people are very unfamiliar with Bianjing, so it is not easy to check. But the eldest brother-in-law is different. You have been in Bianjing for many years, and your people are not familiar with Bianjing. He is very familiar with Jing and can be found by people from all walks of life, so it is naturally easy to check." Sheng Changlin said.

Yuan Wenshao glanced at Sheng Changlin complicatedly. He used to think that Sheng Changlin was very smart, but now he seemed to be a monster.

"Okay, I will let him go when he turns around." Yuan Wenshao said.

"What I said to the eldest brother-in-law is not to ask the eldest brother-in-law to let her go, but to beg the eldest brother-in-law not to let Wang Wang come back." Sheng Changlin said with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

Yuan Wenshao naturally heard what Sheng Changlin said about not letting Prince Kang come back and asking him to kill Prince Kang. He looked at him in shock and said, "Since you know the consequences of this matter, you still want me to kill Prince Kang?"

He originally thought that Sheng Changlin wanted him to let him go by saying so much to him.

After all, Sheng Changlin also talked about the consequences of things getting serious.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Changlin actually wanted him to kill Aunt Kang.

"That's right, because if you don't do it this time, it will be inconvenient to do it in the future. Although it will be troublesome to kill her, if you let her go, she will definitely hate my sister even more because of this incident, and the trouble will be even greater. Sheng Changlin said.

Yuan Wenshao took a deep breath. He also knew that Sheng Changlin was right, but he felt that Sheng Changlin was too extremely calm.

He is just a child of seven or eight years old. No matter how smart and evil he is, he is still a child.

However, when it came to killing Aunt Kang, her calm look made him feel scared.

You must know that it is a human life. When Yuan Wenshao went to the battlefield for the first time, he vomited for a long time before he could get used to it.

In the subsequent wars, only when I got used to seeing death could I ignore human life.

As for Sheng Changlin, he probably has never killed a chicken before, but he is very calm when it comes to killing people.

Yuan Wenshao felt that either Sheng Changlin had a twisted mind due to his childhood environment, or he was also a time traveler.

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Wenshao felt that the latter was more likely.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshao said: "Do you know Zhu Yuanzhang?"

It's not that Yuan Wenshao hasn't thought about using some things from later generations to test, but if Sheng Changlin really grew up under the red flag like him, he wouldn't be so calm when it comes to killing people.

Therefore, he felt that if Sheng Changlin was truly a time traveler, he should have traveled through time in ancient times.

"Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?" Sheng Changlin looked at Yuan Wenshao blankly.

Yuan Wenshao had been paying attention to Sheng Changlin and found nothing unusual about him.

If he really was a time traveler, he couldn't be so indifferent. Did he think too much?

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshao asked again: "What about the Qing Dynasty? Have you heard of it?"

"Qing Dynasty?" Sheng Changlin became even more confused and asked doubtfully: "Is the eldest brother-in-law talking about a dynasty? But as far as I know, there seems to be no small dynasty in history called the Qing Dynasty, right? Why does the eldest brother-in-law ask me these strange questions? ?”

"It's okay, just asking."

Yuan Wenshao took a deep breath. It seemed that he was overthinking.

However, this shows that Sheng Changlin's psychology is somewhat distorted.

A person with a twisted heart is still so smart. If he does something crazy in the future, who knows what he can do.

Yuan Wenshao frowned and was silent for a while, then said: "I can agree to what you said, but you need to do it yourself."

"Shall I do it myself?" A trace of panic flashed in Sheng Changlin's eyes.

"That's right!"

When Yuan Wenshao saw this scene, a smile appeared in his eyes.

He finally knew what the problem was. It wasn't that Sheng Changlin had a twisted mind, it was probably that he had no idea about killing.

But whether it is true or not, we still have to try it out to know.

Sheng Changlin didn't know what Yuan Wenshao was thinking. He hated Aunt Kang very much, and he felt that letting Aunt Kang go would be more troublesome than not letting her go.

But when I think about killing someone, I instinctively feel fear and intolerance.

After hesitating for a while, his hatred for Aunt Kang suppressed the fear in his heart, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself."

He nodded very vigorously, as if it gave him courage.

Yuan Wenshao was more sure of his guess, but he still had to continue experimenting.

"Okay, let's go eat first, and I'll take you there after dinner." Yuan Wenshao said.
