Tianyi

Chapter 2 Tsing Yi (2)

"Chen Ping, please see the master of Tianyi Sect!" He was still outside the courtyard, but he was standing in front of the open door.

Xue Yi was still sitting by the window in the side room facing the courtyard door, bowing his head in greeting and saying, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"My uncle Shen Bufei suddenly died in a brothel in Yangzhou ten days ago due to a sudden convulsion. After examination, the official reported that he died of excessive sexual indulgence. My aunt cried so hard that she refused to believe it. She must have been murdered. My father also said that he died of excessive sexual indulgence. They asked someone to examine the uncle's body and found nothing wrong, but the aunt still refused. The aunt had uncle's posthumous child in her belly. The father was afraid that the aunt would break down from crying, so he asked the aunt what she wanted. The aunt said that she only believed in a perfect garment. Explanation. Therefore, I came here to pay homage to the sect master." Shen Ping said it clearly, word for word.

"Shen Bufei... isn't he your biological uncle?" Xue Yi asked leisurely with a twinkle in his eye.

Shen Ping's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Sect Master really doesn't know anything."

"You go back." Xueyi thought for a while and then said: "I took over the case and reassured your family that the Tianyi Sect will definitely give an answer. By the way, do you know the rules of my Tianyi Sect?"

Shen Ping said: "I know that after the case is over and Wuli Villa gets the answer, Tianyimen has the right to ask three questions. All the people in Wuli Villa must promise to tell everything they know. And. , when these three questions are raised and what they are asked, it is up to Sui Tianyi Sect to decide."

"That's good." Xue Yi smiled and said, "You also know the consequences of not following the rules of my Tianyi Sect, right?"

Shen Ping answered respectfully: "I dare not. If someone refuses to answer the question, or answers falsely, or answers incompletely and untruthfully, that person will die in three days, and the Tianyi Sect will no longer take over the investigation of the cause of this person's death. "

"Okay, you asked very carefully. You can go and we will hear the answer in ten days." Xueyi nodded again to show off.

Shen Ping gave a solemn salute, then turned around and mounted his horse.

A day later, Chiyi came back to report the news.

"The death of Shen Bufei is a bit strange. This man had a very good reputation before his death. It was said that he had a deep relationship with his wife and never looked for women. However, he died in a brothel. Then rumors spread that he was actually very lustful. He was one of the top ten brothels in Yangzhou. I've been shopping around a long time ago, and there is no sister Hong who doesn't know him. Fortunately, his wife doesn't believe the rumors, otherwise she would be very angry." Chiyi Guagua said, poking at the portrait of Shen Bufei he brought back with disapproval.

"There are many people in the world with two sides, so it's not surprising." Xue Yi stared at Shen Bufei's portrait thoughtfully.

"Shen Bufei had no injuries on his body, and there was nothing special about his death state. I heard he looked like Jing Feng." Chi Yi added.

"I heard?! Who told me, have you ever seen a convulsed dead person?" Xue Yi asked jokingly.

"Sister!" Chiyi blushed, "Sister Hong and the Madam said, it's terrible. How could I have seen such... dead people."

"Wuli Villa belongs to a prosperous family in the south of the Yangtze River. The current owner of the village, Shen Buling, has a very good reputation. All three families, brother and sister, live in the Villa. The dozens of people are actually a harmonious family, kind and filial." Xue Yi said slowly, "But, The second child, Shen Bufei, was actually adopted by the old lady. This matter is extremely secret. Except for the eldest son, Shen Buling, and his family of three, no one in Wuli Villa will know anymore..."

Chiyi didn't say anything, nor did he ask Xueyi how he knew.

"The third child is my sister Shen Buqing. She has a very fierce temper, but the person she obeys the most is her second brother. Even she doesn't know that the second brother is not her biological brother. Shen Bufei's wife Shen Er's grandmother should not know either. "Xueyi continued.

"Since the family is kind and filial, and there are no enemies outside, and the circumstances of Shen Bufei's death are not considered suspicious even by government officials, why does Second Mistress Shen insist that her husband was murdered? Who would want to harm him?" Chi Yi asked confused.

Xue Yi shook his head, stared at Shen Bufei's portrait for a long time, sighed and said, "It would be great if Qing Yi was here."

Chiyi's face turned red again, this time from anger.

Xue Yi glared at her and said, "Are you not convinced? Do you have a good temper like Qing Yi? Do you have Qing Yi's ability to talk to people and tell ghosts? If she is here, go to Wuli Villa to stay for two days. , we will definitely find some clues.”

Chi Yi jumped up and said, "I'm useless. I told you earlier that if you miss Qing Yi, just go find her yourself." After that, he turned around and ran away.

Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief and ignored her.

Another day later, the old car also came back from outside.

"Master, I'm going to ask the Tang family if they have any poison that can cause death from panic, and whether it has been given to outsiders. The Tang family replied that the poison of panic is indeed their own unique poison, and Shen Bufei also had it three days before his death. A relative of the Tang family came to ask for medicine, and the Tang family gave him the amount for one person. The Tang family also added that apart from that, no one else in the world could have this poison. However, although the poison of panic can harm It is deadly for men, but if it is used correctly, it can also replenish a woman's body. The Tang Sect administers the medicine to save people, not to harm others, so Shen Bufei's death must be due to his own illness and has nothing to do with the Tang Sect." Lao Che answered sternly. .

"Oh? Who is that relative?" Xue Yi's eyes lit up and she asked.

"I have asked, but the Tang family has said enough about the poison of panic. If I ask the person who asked for the medicine again, that will be the fourth question. They are not willing to answer me anymore. The head of Tang Dynasty also He said that Tang Sect has already answered the three questions agreed upon before, and he will never dare to ask Tianyi Sect for help again." Lao Che said, with a smile on his prim face.

"Hey! Are you scared?" Xue Yi frowned, then relaxed his brows and said, "Okay, he can barely make sense and there is no violation of regulations. It doesn't matter if he refuses to answer. The Tang family is the most poisonous sect in the world. , How can such a strange poison be tolerated by outsiders? This so-called relative of the Tang family must be from the natal family of the wife of the head of Tang Dynasty, and is a close relative of Mr. Lin, the prefect of Yangzhou. "

"So, there is no doubt that Shen Bufei was murdered by the poison of panic, right?" Chiyi's voice came from the window, but she had been hiding outside and listening with her ears open. "It's somewhat possible." Xue Yi pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself: "Mr. Lin has two daughters. The eldest daughter married the Tang family, and the second daughter married Shen Bufei. Eh... In this way, isn't it the second grandma Shen? The biggest suspicion is that she murdered her husband, so why is she making such a fuss?"

"What's imaginary is real, what's real is imaginary." Chiyi poked his head in from the window, making a grimace.

"This doesn't seem like it. If that's the case, she's just pretending. Why does she have to challenge my Tianyi Sect?" Xueyi ignored her and raised her face to think.

Chiyi rolled his eyes and couldn't answer.

Xue Yi thought for a while and then said: "Chi Yi, make an appointment for me to meet with Grandma Shen and Shen Ping."

Chiyi was extremely surprised and said: "Oh my God, eldest sister, are you going to give me the answer now?"

Xue Yi didn't answer, only said: "It's too early to say anything now, just make an appointment."

Jiangnan Wuli Villa is two days away from Tianyi Courtyard on horseback. Grandma Shen arrived in a sedan chair three days later.

Arriving in front of the courtyard, Shen Ping dismounted first and saluted Xue Yi.

"Grandma Shen has come a long way to work, so she doesn't need to get off the sedan. Please forgive me for the roughness of my small courtyard, so I won't invite grandma in." Xue Yi raised her voice when she saw the sedan curtain lifted.

Grandma Shen didn't show much humility, so she made a gesture in the sedan chair to give her a blessing, which was regarded as a courtesy.

"I dare to ask the sect master. The appointment was for ten days, but it is not yet seven days. Why did he invite me in advance?" Shen Ping stepped forward and asked.

"There are some things that I would like to ask Grandma in person, but I am physically inconvenient, so I have to trouble you two." Xueyi replied.

"The master is worried about my family's affairs. If you have any questions, just ask." Grandma Shen took the words without being humble or overbearing.

"What's your surname, Grandma Shen? Gui Geng?" Xue Yi asked casually.

"My surname is Fang, and I have wasted half of my forty years this year." Grandma Shen said calmly.

"Fang..." Xue Yi's eyes flashed, and she said: "I heard that there is a family in the Tang family of the poisonous sect. It seems that their surname is Fang. The married eldest daughter must be in her forties. Does the eldest grandma know? ?”

Grandma Shen was stunned and said sadly: "The master of the sect is so powerful. Yes, my great-grandfather saved the life of the great-grandfather of the Tang family. At that time, we forged a friendship that lasted for generations. However, I am not ashamed of the poison of the Tang sect and have never been with them." Communicate.”

Xue Yi nodded and asked Shen Ping again: "When your second uncle died, you went to the brothel, but did you accompany him?"

Shen Ping was also stunned and said: "Exactly."

Xue Yi asked again: "Does your father promise your second aunt?"

Shen Ping was stunned again and then said: "There is indeed a promise. My father said that as long as anyone in my family is found to be involved in the death of my second uncle, he will be executed according to the family law to clear his name."

"That's it." Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that what I expected is right. Your second aunt has all the tricks, but she underestimated my Tianyi Sect."

Shen Ping was puzzled and said: "Master, please explain in detail."

Xue Yi did not explain, but only said: "There is no need to wash away the death of your second uncle. This matter is over. Let the soul of the deceased rest in peace. Go back and tell your second aunt that people should be careful not to be greedy and insufficient. If the family is harmonious, they can live a good life." Come on, otherwise, just because she underestimates my Tianyi Sect, even if Wuli Villa does not clean up the door, I, Tianyi Sect, will not spare her."

Shen Ping couldn't figure it out, but Grandma Shen took a breath and said in a loud voice: "The master has a keen eye and has seen through everything he wants. Wuli Mountain Villa will take care of the funeral. Ping'er, don't ask anymore. , thank the sect master, let’s go back now.”

"Wait a minute," Xue Yi said again: "Shen Ping, although I haven't given you a direct answer, my Tianyi Sect has completed the case that your Shen family asked for. You must tell everyone in Guishan Villa to abide by the rules of my Tianyi Sect. ." At the last sentence, the words gradually turned harsh.

Shen Ping's expression was very dissatisfied, but Grandma Shen said hurriedly: "Master, please rest assured, no one will dare to violate the rules in Wuli Villa."

"That's good, Chi Yi will go with you. Let's ask Second Grandma Shen a question first, and two more questions to discuss later." After Xue Yi said this, she bowed her head to see the guests off.
