On the way to the backyard, Di Renjie asked the housekeeper Tang Lu: "Steward Tang, I remember the last time I went to the house to harass. There is a picture of the'Autumn River Mushing Rain' on the screen wall of the front hall. Why is it gone now?"
Butler Tang Lu said: "My lord, this'Autumn River Muyu' is a painting very cherished by my master. The master once said when he was alive, if one day he drives the crane west, let the villain burn this painting to he!"
"Oh, it turned out to be like this!" Di Renjie nodded and said suddenly!
Di Renjie and the three were still assigned to the room they lived in before. After the arrangement was made, the butler Tang Lu respectfully said: "My lord, the funeral of my lord is not finished. Please forgive the villain for not being able to accompany him. If you need anything else, please direct instructions. Just leave it!"
Di Renjie smiled and said politely: "Steward Tang doesn't need to be polite, let's do it ourselves! If there is a need for this pavilion in the mansion, please don't be polite to Tang steward!"
Tang Lu, the housekeeper, retired. Di Renjie looked at Tang Lu's distant back and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying looked at each other, and suddenly Di Renjie seemed to have noticed something!
After a while, until the back of the butler Tang Lu disappeared completely, Li Yuanfang asked, "My lord, have you found something?"
Di Renjie still looked ahead, twisting the beard and said: "It seems that this Tang Zhuangzhu is a bit strange? Maybe this Xilin Villa is not as simple as we seem!"
Li Yuanfang was taken aback, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, why do you say that? Is there any basis?"
Di Renjie slowly said, "Don't you think this Tang Zhuangzhu died very untimely? This Tang Yinran just bought a few pieces of land, why was he hacked to death? What kind of deep hatred is this? Yes, the painting hung in the front hall of the villa is generally buried with the coffin if it is the one loved by the owner before his life, but this Tang Yinran asked his servant to burn the painting along with the yellow paper. , This is really puzzling!"
Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "What the hell is going on with this Xilin Villa? The young owner and his wife were taken away, and now the old owner died unexpectedly. Is it possible that this Xilin Villa has been cursed?"
Di Renjie's face sank, and he said solemnly: "This pavilion has never believed in any kind of weird power.
Anything like this is nothing but a curse for the Ning people! "
Li Yuanfang hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, forgive me, it's a humble job!"
Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Yuanfang don't have to worry about it. This pavilion is not reprimanding you, but just disdainful of such ghosts and gods!"
Xiao Ying thought for a while, and said, "Old Ge, in that case, the murder in Hexi Village should have nothing to do with Xilin Villa? This Tang Yinran died unexpectedly, and the whole He Mansion is busy dealing with the owner's funeral. You don’t have the energy to go to Hexi Village to cause a murder, right?"
Li Yuanfang interrupted, "Can they hire someone to commit the crime? They don't have to be from Xilin Mountain Villa?"
Xiao Ying shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't think so!"
Di Renjie couldn't help looking at Xiao Ying and asked curiously: "Xiao Ying, tell me your opinion!"
Xiao Ying paused and said: "Old Ge, first of all, I will look at the death of this village owner Tang Yinran. There are only two situations. First, Tang Yinran really suffered misfortune, and the second is Tang Yinran's fraudulent death. If it is the first kind, Such a big incident in that mansion is indeed lacking in skills, and there is no time to take care of the young villager, let alone bloodbath Hexi Village. Then if it is the second type, the villager Tang Yinran cheated to death, then if Xilin Villa is really bloodbathed Hexi Village The murderer must have been ordered by the owner, Tang Yinran. Then, let’s think about it. Why did Tang Yinran, the owner of this order, cheat to die? Is it to separate the relationship? If it's just to separate the relationship, then There are many effective methods. Why did he choose the most stupid one? Then again, if there is no instruction from the owner, Tang Yinran, how dare Xilin Villa go to Hexi Village? So, I guess, if this Tang Yinran If it is a fraudulent death, then it should not have much to do with the murder in Hexi Village, but it has a deep meaning!"
Li Yuanfang was puzzled: "There is another deep meaning? Then what is this deep meaning?"
Xiao Ying glanced at Li Yuanfang and said angrily: "I want to know what the deep meaning is, then all these problems will be solved?"
Di Renjie suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "Yuan Fang, Xiao Ying, do you remember that Zhao Ada said that he saw someone come to Tang Gongzi that night, and the two of them separated unhappily, and for two days After that, Hexi Village was bloodbathed, and Young Master Tang and Haitang were also taken away?"
Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying were slightly startled, and said in unison: "Remember!"
Di Renjie nodded slightly and twisted his head and said: "Xiao Ying's analysis just reminded me that there are two possibilities for the murder in Hexi Village. The first person who came to Tang Gongzi might have known about Tang Gongzi and Haitang in advance. Some kind of conspiracy, so I rushed to remind him, but Tang Gongzi did not believe it, not only did not believe, but left angrily, then the second case is that this person came to find Tang Gongzi and threatened him, but Tang Gongzi did not compromise, and then Later, there was a bloodbath in Hexi Village!"
After listening to Di Renjie's words, Li Yuanfang was stunned and said: "My lord, what you said are two completely opposite situations? However, the humble position is more inclined to the second one!"
"Oh? Why?" Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and asked!
Li Yuanfang walked up to Di Renjie and said, "My lord, the humble servant thinks that this son of Tang has always been polite, and he must treat others with courtesy. If the person kindly reminds him of danger, then even if he does not believe him, he will Definitely not going away with one's sleeves, it should be the verbal threat from the other party that can make Tang Gongzi so angry!"
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Now we are just guessing out of thin air, so let’s go, Yuan Fang, you first go to the place where the Tang Zhuangzhu’s accident occurred, and see if you have found anything. Besides, the servant who committed the murder The situation of the squire must be investigated in detail, the more detailed the better!"
"Yes! Lord, don't worry, let's go to the humble job!" After that, Li Yuanfang gave Di Renjie a good fare!
Xiao Ying looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Elder Ge, what shall we do next?"
Di Renjie said: "Let's just watch the changes in Xilin Villa, and we will talk about everything when Yuan Fang comes back!"
At night, the entire Xilin Villa fell into a dead silence. In the mourning hall of the front yard, there was a servant in the village who was the owner of the village, Tang Yinran, who was the guardian of the spirit, and everyone else went to rest separately!
Xiao Ying blew out the oil lamp, and just about to lie down, suddenly, a stern woman's scream cut through the quiet night sky!
"Ah! Ghost!"
Xiao Ying quickly put on her clothes, drew out the knife, and flew in the direction where the cry came from!
Following the voice, Xiao Ying came to the Mingyue Tower. A servant girl was lying on the ground, convulsing all over!
