Chapter 207 Other clues, the case is clear
It was spring and summer, the heat was unbearable, and the scorching sun burned the skin. Sweat would break out after just standing in the sun for a few minutes.
Yan Cisheng was waving a hoe and cultivating the land. Li Changxiao was sitting under the shade of a tree, watching quietly. Time passed. At noon, the sun was so scorching that the men of Yanjia Village had to rest under the shade of the trees for a few quarters of an hour and wait for the weather to clear up before continuing to work.
Every time this happened, the daughter-in-law of the family would bring some food, usually a few steamed buns and some wild vegetables to eat. Sometimes, if the food was good, there would be some meat.
Soon, Li Changxiao was surrounded by men. Some of them had a playful look on their faces and asked the white-clothed swordsman for a few sips of wine to quench their thirst.
"How can you quench your thirst by drinking?"
The people around laughed and joked.
The man was a little embarrassed and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, you know nothing."
He took the wine gourd handed to him by Li Changxiao and took a sip carefully. It seemed that all the fatigue in his body had dissipated invisibly.
With his start, the men around him soon wanted to ask for a drink. After drinking, they started to chat and rest. The topics were all trivial matters in the neighborhood, such as someone's wife had a quarrel, someone owed someone a chicken and has not paid it back yet, etc.
As they were chatting, their wives came over one after another to deliver meals. The men would always make dirty jokes, making the women blush and leave cursing.
Some of the braver and more aggressive ones would curse back, without any hesitation.
Just when a woman came to deliver food.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
He has broad shoulders and a big waist, and an average face.
It was Yan Ci Sheng’s eldest sister. She placed the food on a big tree, turned around and left without saying hello.
Li Changxiao was very curious and turned the topic to her. The men didn't want to chat as this matter was too taboo. However, since they had drunk a little wine from her and saw that the person in charge was still working in the fields and should not be able to hear, they started talking in a low voice.
Someone said that Yan Ci Sheng was really a pitiful man. Ever since the incident of patricide happened to him, he became a completely lonely man. The wife who had once had one foot in the house for him was also ruined.
The other person lowered his voice and sighed, "Not only that, didn't you just see that the eldest sister who brought food to Yan Cisheng put the food there and left without saying a word? After what happened, even family members don't know how to look at him."
Another person continued, "I heard that two days ago, Yan Cisheng planned to go to his second sister's house to take his mother back home to fulfill his filial duty, but guess what, his mother refused and even didn't want to see him."
Everyone was talking in low voices.
Yan Cisheng walked towards this side. When everyone saw this, they immediately shut up and lowered their heads to eat the food in their mouths. Yan Cisheng glanced at them and said nothing. He picked up his food and sat in the corner to eat.
Li Changxiao suddenly turned his head and saw a person under a big tree in the distance, with half of his head sticking out, looking over here.
He frowned.
I was thinking about this matter, maybe the target was not Yan Lai Fu, but Yan Ci Sheng.
......
The helpers invited by Yan Shiliu were divided into two groups: a thin old Taoist priest, a swordsman, and a poison girl, to investigate whether there was any "supernatural" power in this father-eating curse.
After all, it cannot be ruled out that this is simply the fulfillment of a curse.
Li Changxiao, Yan Shiliu, Cai Wei and the magic refiner are looking for various clues based on the assumption that it is "man-made".
Yan Shiliu was responsible for building good relations with Yan Cisheng, Li Changxiao was responsible for collecting intelligence, and Cai Wei and the magician were responsible for providing assistance.
Although there has been some progress on the old Taoist's side, it is not great.
One night, Yan Shiliu suddenly brought back some useful information.
It turned out that after that incident, Yan Cisheng was at his most vulnerable psychologically, with no one to talk to, and no one even approached him. During this period, Yan Shiliu repeatedly visited him for counseling, and soon established a good relationship with Yan Cisheng.
Yan Shiliu also frankly told Yan Ci Sheng that in addition to the possibility of a curse, there was also the possibility of a human frame-up. When Yan Ci Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. After all, if it could be confirmed that it was a human frame-up, he would feel better and would also be able to give an explanation to his old mother who refused to go home.
Yan Cisheng has been very cooperative since then and confided in Yan Shiliu that he had been to Zhaozi Tower on the day of the accident and had an intimate relationship with the Lotus Girl. It was after he came back from there that he felt something was not right.
When Yan Ci Sheng was young, he launched a fierce pursuit of the lotus girl, but failed. That is why he is still single until now.
At that time, he was thinking about getting married soon and it would be difficult for him to go to that place of brothels in the future. So he secretly raised a lot of money and had sex with the lotus girl several times. They got together but he had regrets at a young age.
With this clue, we naturally cannot miss it.
Soon, they found the Lotus Girl. It was really difficult to meet the Lotus Girl.
The Zhaozi Tower did not welcome outsiders as guests, and the madam was sarcastic and difficult to talk to. It was only after the magic refiner begged hard, saying that he could not stop and was really suffocating, and paid a tael of silver, that the madam reluctantly showed mercy and let him in.
I don’t know whether it is real or fake.
The magic refiner stayed there for half an hour before walking down from the Zhaozi Tower. He told Li Changxiao with a teasing look that the girls in the Zhaozi Tower were indeed very pretty, no wonder so many people liked them.
Although I took the opportunity to have some fun, I did not forget the important things to do and asked all the questions that needed to be asked.
It turned out that on the day of the accident, Yan Cisheng had indeed come to Zhaozi Tower and asked Miss Lotus to accompany him.
But on that day, everything was normal and nothing strange happened.
The magician asked her to think carefully and extend the time, but he came so suddenly that Miss Lotus could not remember much for a while, so she had no choice but to give up.
He left a message saying, "I'll come again," and turned away.
This way.
Gradually, the magic refiner became a frequent visitor to Zhaozi Tower, and he became increasingly close to the Lotus Girl. During their in-depth conversations, he said many sweet words to her, which made the Lotus Girl so overwhelmed that she was at a loss.
Li Changxiao wandered around, eating, drinking and having fun in Yanjia Village under the pretext of understanding the local customs and people, while secretly observing everything in Yanjia Village.
Just like that, a few more days passed.
The magic refiner had a great harvest.
One day, he met a man named "Yan Nanzhe" in Zhaozi Tower. He was of average appearance, short stature, with yellow-dark skin and a bad temper.
As soon as Yan Nanzhe entered Zhaozi Tower, he ordered Lotus Girl. When he heard that Lotus Girl was already accompanying other guests, he glared at her, went upstairs angrily and kicked open the wooden door.
