Chapter 207 Other Clues, the Case Is Clear

It was spring and summer, the heat was unbearable, the scorching sun burned the skin, and sweat kept coming out after standing in the sun for just a few minutes.

Yan Cisheng waved his hoe and tilled the land, Li Changxiao sat under the shade of the tree, watching quietly, time passed, at noon, the sun was really scorching, the men of Yanjia Village had to rest under the shade of the tree for a few quarters of an hour, wait for the sky to clear up, and then continue to work.

Every time at this time, the daughter-in-law of the family would bring some food, usually a few steamed buns, and some wild vegetables to eat, sometimes the food was good, there would be a few bites of meat.

Soon, Li Changxiao was surrounded by men, some of whom 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 over by Li Changxiao and drank it carefully, as if the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot.

With his start, the men around him soon wanted to ask for a drink. After drinking, they chatted and rested. The topics were all some trivial matters in the neighborhood, such as who's wife quarreled, who owed who a chicken, and now it has not been paid, etc.

While chatting, their wives came to deliver food one after another, and those men would always make dirty jokes, making the women who delivered food blush and leave with curses.

Some of the brave ones with a tough style would curse back, and they were not much inferior.

But when a woman came to deliver food.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Big shoulders and big waist, average face.

It was Yan Cisheng's eldest sister. She placed the food on a big tree, turned around and left without saying hello.

Li Changxiao was very curious and led the topic to her. The men didn't want to chat at first, as this matter was too taboo, but because they had drunk a little wine from her and saw that the person in charge of this matter was still working in the fields and should not be able to hear, they started talking in a low voice.

One person said that Yan Cisheng was really a pitiful man. Since this incident of patricide happened to him, he has become a lonely man. The daughter-in-law who had half a foot in the door was ruined.

Another 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 that happened, even the family members didn't know how to look at him."

Another person continued, "I heard that two days ago, Yan Cisheng planned to go to the second sister's house and take his mother back home to fulfill his filial piety, but guess what, his mother refused and even didn't want to see him."

Everyone was talking in a low voice.

Yan Cisheng walked towards this side. Seeing this, everyone immediately shut up and lowered their heads to eat the food in their mouths. Yan Cisheng glanced at him, said nothing, picked up his own 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, half of his head was sticking out and looking over here.

He frowned.

I was wondering if this matter was not aimed at Yan Laifu, but Yan Cisheng.

......

The helpers invited by Yan Shiliu were divided into two groups. The thin old Taoist priest, the swordsman, and the witch went to investigate whether there was a "supernatural" power in the father-eating curse.

After all, it cannot be ruled out that this matter was just the fulfillment of the curse.

Li Changxiao, Yan Shiliu, Cai Wei, and the magic refiner were looking for various clues based on the assumption of "man-made".

Yan Shiliu was responsible for building a good relationship with Yan Cisheng, Li Changxiao collected intelligence, and Cai Wei and the magic refiner were responsible for providing assistance.

Although there was some progress on the old Taoist priest's side, it was not great.

One night, Yan Shiliu suddenly brought back a useful piece of information.

It turned out that since the incident, Yan Cisheng was at his most vulnerable psychologically, with no one to talk to, and even no one to approach him. During this period, Yan Shiliu repeatedly visited and enlightened him, and soon he had a good relationship with Yan Cisheng.

Yan Shiliu also confessed that in addition to the possibility of curse, it could also be a human frame-up. When Yan Cisheng heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. After all, if it could be proved that it was a human frame-up, he would feel better and could give some explanation to his old mother who refused to go home.

Yan Cisheng has been very cooperative since then, and confessed to Yan Shiliu that he had been to Zhaozi Tower on the day of the accident and had a close relationship with the Lotus Girl. It was also after returning from there that he felt something was wrong.

When Yan Cisheng was young, he had pursued the Lotus Girl fiercely, but failed. That is why he is still alone.

At that time, he thought that he was going to get married and it would be difficult to go to the fireworks place in the future, so he secretly raised a lot of silver and had a close relationship with the Lotus Girl several times, but it was still regretful.

With this clue, he naturally couldn't miss it.

Soon, the group found Miss Lotus. It was really hard to meet Miss Lotus.

The Zhaozi Tower did not welcome outsiders. The madam was sarcastic and hard to talk to. The magic refiner begged hard, saying that he could not stop and was really suffocating. He also paid one or two taels of silver. Only then did the madam reluctantly show mercy and let him in.

I don't know if it was a real play or a real play.

The magic refiner stayed up there for half an hour before he walked down the Zhaozi Tower. He told Li Changxiao with a teasing look that the girls in the Zhaozi Tower were really pretty, no wonder so many people liked them.

Although he took the opportunity to have some fun, he did not forget the business he should do and asked all the questions he should ask.

It turned out that Yan Cisheng did come to the Zhaozi Tower on the day of the accident and asked Miss Lotus to accompany him.

But on that day, everything was very normal and nothing strange happened.

The magic refiner asked her to think carefully and expand the time, but he came suddenly and Miss Lotus could not remember it for a while, so she had no choice but to give up.

He left a sentence, I will come again, and turned away.

In this way.

The magic refiner gradually became a frequent visitor to the Zhaozi Tower, and became closer and closer to Miss Lotus. During the in-depth communication, he said a lot of love words, bombarding Miss Lotus to the point of being confused.

Li Changxiao wandered around, eating, drinking and having fun in Yanjia Village under the pretext of understanding the local customs and practices, while secretly observing everything in Yanjia Village.

In this way, a few days passed.

The magic refiner had a great harvest.

On this day, he met a man named "Yan Nanzhe" in Zhaozi Tower. This man had an average appearance, was short, had yellow and black skin, and had 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, went upstairs angrily, and kicked the wooden door open.
