Officials and wealthy merchant families in Yanzhou are often more "superstitious" than elsewhere.
The Wei family is a typical example.
They would ask Shishou to do the calculation because of the family's escape from marriage. Since then, all the wedding banquets will be held in the villa that Shisui decides is good for their family. And this behavior is just the tip of the iceberg.
The gift of "rip" bone cross earrings to the bride is also a rule of the Wei family that is not known to outsiders. This rule was set earlier than the location of the hotel villa, and its origin is already an ancient legend in the Wei family.
According to legend, it was around the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. The ancestors of the Wei family saved a girl. The girl was born with blond hair and brown eyes. Her mother was a kiln sister in Xiajiuliuli. She never mentioned her biological father. She works as a long-term worker in a shop with her daughter. A few years later, the mother died, and the shop where she worked was also poorly managed and insolvent. The girl was poor and weak, so she fell to the point where she was "plugged in" and sold out of debt.
Influenced by her mother, the girl believed in Christ Jesus and liked to listen to the lobbying of missionaries. She was out of tune with the meeting at that time.
Such a strange girl, what kind of big family would buy it to be a maid, not to mention being a "wife" or filling the house, she would even talk back with her debts.
One time, she talked back too much, and in the rage of her debt, she actually took a handful of coals and forced her to swallow it. The girl immediately destroyed her mouthpiece and was dying. Seeing the debt, she showed no sympathy, and she felt troublesome, so she threw her out and left her to fend for herself.
It was at this time that the ancestors of the Wei family found this girl.
The old ancestor opened a "medicine" shop and had a very kind heart. At that time, his own son had just contracted a terminal illness and died, so he couldn't see such a desolate scene.
The old man took the girl home, treated her and treated her kindly. However, the girl was seriously injured, and the medical treatment at that time was not developed. Despite the considerate care, the girl was still unable to recover, and she was going to go soon.
Before she died, she begged the ancestors of the Wei family to find her a cross, and she said she wanted to leave this world holding the cross.
The old ancestor didn't know where to find this foreign thing, but he couldn't bear the girl's last wish to fail, so he made a cross for her with wood. That night, the girl held the cross and looked at it, muttering a few words, but a drop of blood and tears splattered on the cross, and then passed away.
The old ancestor took pity on her misery and ordered someone to bury her alive. However, the day before the burial, the old ancestor suddenly had a dream. The dream was very mysterious. He dreamed that the girl had snow-white wings and came around the auspicious clouds. She told him in her sweet voice that she came this time to thank the old man for his last care of her. The old man could bury her corpse with the young son who died early in the "medicine" shop, so that she could justifiably live there. Another world sympathizes with the children who accompany the elderly, the descendants of Fuze.
The ancestors didn’t believe it at first, so the girl said, “When you wake up in the morning, go look in front of my coffin, and you will see that the wooden cross I hold in my hand has turned into a pure gold cross.
After the old man woke up, he immediately went to the mortuary to open the coffin. He saw that the girl was holding a golden cross in her hand, and the place where the blood and tears fell was even adorned with clear and dazzling rubies, engraved with rip three. letters.
Now the old man didn't dare to neglect, he immediately handled her funeral according to the girl's instructions. Since then, the Wei family has risen step by step, and one generation is better than the next. When the ancestor was a hundred years old, he left a will, telling his family not to forget this "angel". He even made a rule that every girl in the Wei family must wear it when she gets married, as well as a new "woman" who gets married into the Wei family. The same pure gold cross, until the newly married term, as a tribute to the girl.
Year by year, the wearing form of this cross was gradually fixed, and in six or more years, it was completely determined to be gold bone rip earrings set with red diamonds, which spread among the "sex" of every Wei family woman.
"But Wei Dongheng told me privately that he felt that this story must have been beautified by a certain ancestor." Xie Xue, "He doesn't really believe in any angels and gods. He thinks that the three letters rip are engraved on it. It may mean that the ancestors actually did something wrong. This kind of behavior is not gratitude, but repression. He even thought that the girl was forcibly matched with bones, or even killed on purpose. He looked through the family tree and saw that period of time. , the new "wives" of the Wei family have died several times in a row. Perhaps the ancestors felt that the ghosts of the female companions were still lingering, so they made a golden cross to ward off evil spirits for each new "wives". It was just for the family's reputation and to prevent The new "wives" were afraid, and the Wei family gradually came up with such a beautiful story, hiding the original dark and bloody past."
After Xie Qingcheng listened to Xie Xue's narration, he was very interested in this story, but felt a chill in his heart-because at this moment, he finally solved the mystery and nightmare that had troubled him for nearly 20 years.
The rip earrings belong to the female "female" of the Wei family, and she is a newly married female "female".
—This is the true identity of the mysterious man his parents met before they died!
"Brother, what's wrong with this earring?" Xie Xue asked eagerly after explaining.
It was inconvenient for Xie Qingcheng to tell her the situation. He was very anxious at the moment. If it was said that the people who killed his parents were the Wei family members, or even Wei Dongheng's mother or sister, what should Xie Xue do now
In addition, he has a more chilling conjecture—
He was hit by a car and was seriously injured back then, and it was only because of Lao Qin's rescue that he recovered a "life".
The people of that organization may have paid attention to his life and death at first. After all, the chance of saving his life is not high after the car accident hit like that, but later, the organization should have discovered him and died... Over the years, they have hunted and killed him, They also started arresting and researching him. At first, Xie Qingcheng thought that since such a person was really insignificant in their eyes, as long as they did not continue to investigate the truth, the organization would not pay attention to him.
But if the murderer was the Wei family, and Xie Xue married Wei Dongheng, would there be another possibility of "sex"? For some reason, they also got their hands on him. Instead, they chose to target Xie Xue...
This idea is too chilling and "hairy" stands upright, as if stepping down is an abyss, Xie Qingcheng thought down.
"elder brother?"
"...What, I've seen a similar one before, but now I look carefully, it's not so similar." Xie Qingcheng reluctantly perfunctory Xie Xue, sat down again, and scooped a spoonful of beef soup for her, "Let's eat."
The brothers and sisters ate a meal with their own thoughts, so neither of them realized that the other was in a trance. After the meal, he borrowed the story and sent Xie Xue back first.
After Xie Xue left, Xie Qingcheng "feeled" out a cigarette, smoking while sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about various clues from the past. He tried his best to remain calm, finally coughing and dusting off the soot.
He decided to follow this clue and investigate for himself first.
This time the investigation is very similar to the situation nineteen years ago, and he has anyone who can ask for help.
The relationship between him and Chen Wan is now very embarrassing.
And Zheng Jingfeng is the kind of rigid "nature" that can never be investigated for him just by inference.
As for He Yu…
He Yu's hacking skills are very useful, but Xie Qingcheng can't keep in touch with him, let alone involve him.
Fortunately, Xie Qingcheng is not unable to fight alone. To investigate the loss of the rip earrings, it is only necessary to find out exactly which female "sex" in the Wei family was married at that time and was in the newlywed period.
He first ruled out Wei Dongheng's mother. Judging from the birth years of the Wei brothers and sisters, Wei Dongheng's mother married Wei's father long before his parents' car accident. This discovery calmed Xie Qing's anxiety and irritability.
The second breakthrough "sex" discovery was on the Internet.
Xie Qingcheng finally grabbed the portal website information from about twenty years ago from the massive amount of information based on He Yu's previous black history experience in searching for Huang Zhilong Entertainment Company.
"Wei Mengqiang joined forces, the family got married, and we got married."
The release comes just a few months before his parents were killed.
When Xie Qingcheng first found this information, it seemed that even his heart didn't dare to beat. He immediately moved the cursor and clicked on the link. However-
404
Straight men Souhuang/Net will feel a blow every time they encounter this kind of code that no longer exists on the prompt page. Xie Qingcheng had lived for 30 years and had experienced this kind of blow from a straight man, but at this moment he felt the same.
Not only this one portal website, but all relevant content on the Internet are all such prompt messages.
Even the pictures and names of the bride and groom could not be found.
Xie Qingcheng did not give up, at least he had already determined that 20 years ago, he was a "sex" girl from the Wei family, and married a wealthy family with the surname Meng.
The information has reached this point, in fact, as long as you try to put Wei Dongheng on it, you should be able to directly know who the target is. But Xie Qingcheng was cautious and asked him, he felt that there was still a line to investigate more covertly.
—The private villa in Hangzhou.
Because the Wei family is restricted by family rules, every wedding banquet is held in the villa. Over the years, the villa has hosted the Taiji event for the Wei family. If you ask directly which sister Wei married 20 years ago, they will definitely not be able to answer. of.
However, according to the traces on the Internet, the sister married a "match-making" groom named Meng, and even got on the news of the meeting at that time, so the scale of the wedding at that time must not be enough to leave a deep impression on people.
Xie Qingcheng asked the old waiter in the villa to inquire about who could "the white-haired palace maid is here, sit and talk about Xuanzong."
After half a month, the news came back.
It turned out to be a fifty-year-old old hotel warehouse manager, remembering the scene at that time, and giving out the information about the pair of golden boys and girls at that time.
"That bride is called Wei Rong, as for the groom... It's the second son of Meng's enterprise... Ouch..." The old administrator pouted when he mentioned this, "I have received such a distinguished guest, and this is the pair. Newcomers are the hardest to serve. At that time, they almost made me lose my job..."
According to the old employee, Wei Rong is the weirdest bride he has ever seen. Others are happy to get married. Even if they are not so happy for some reason, they will at least put a smile on their face. , be considered a lucky draw.
Wei Rong is not like this.
On the wedding day, she was picky about the wedding team, and she lost her temper when she was unhappy.
The old staff prepared several sets of puppet costumes that day, and asked the staff to put them on to distribute candy and colorful balls to friends on the scene. One set of those clothes was Mickey's red shorts. As a result, Wei Rong saw Mickey jumping and jumping at the scene, and suddenly became furious, and asked who arranged such a doll. Could it be that she hates red the most
The wedding team and the hotel are indeed aware of this. When the bride is finalizing the wedding plan, she requires all clothes in Western style, rejecting any red accessories, and the flowers on site must never be red flowers such as red roses. Everyone did it according to her needs, but who knew that she couldn't even accept a Mickey doll? The administrator was scolded for this, and Wei Rong asked the hotel to fire him immediately.
Fortunately, Guan Lian had a poor family, and his wife, children, and mother had to take care of him. He tricked Wei Rong that he would hire someone, and finally did so.
The administrator still stayed in the villa in the end, and Wei Rong's domineering behavior left a deep impression on him. So even if it had been twenty years, he could still remember it clearly.
After Xie Qing presented the news, he immediately retrieved the information of Wei Rong and Meng Sheng. This time he found a lot of content.
It turned out that the groom Meng Sheng was the third son of Meng's real estate, and he has immigrated abroad to do business in Singapore. His current photo and profile on Wikipedia.
It's just that his spouse column is not "Wei Rong", but the name of a foreign woman.
Xie Qingcheng browsed all the information, and it mentioned Weirong completely. This woman seems to have never appeared in Meng Sheng's life. If Xie Qingcheng hadn't done the investigation, he would have thought that he didn't know Ms. Weirong at all.
Xie Qingcheng gave up, and he checked Weirong alone. This time, although the results on the search engine were few, they were shocking enough.
Because those messages are almost all reporting the same thing—
Wei Rong, the daughter of Wei's Group, died in a car accident.
And the release time of the news was actually a week after the accident of Xie Qingcheng's parents!
