Chapter 1596: The Hanged Ghost in the Woods (3)
"Is that all?" Xiao Yingmulan asked, a little dissatisfied with the man's answer.
Just knowing that this kind of thing happened to the Shen family ancestor can't explain the problems he encountered.
He is not of the Shen family's bloodline, and the Shen family's relatives still exist.
Xiao Ying's heart moved, and he asked, "Have you heard of the names of Shen Mingyi and Shen Ming Xiu?" ”
As if thinking of something, the man's expression was slightly unnatural, and he glanced at Xiao Ying.
"I am a descendant of Shen Mingyi, nominally so, but in fact there is not much blood relationship." Xiao Ying said with a very eyed expression.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, grinning and revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Oh, so you're the descendant of that younger brother." ”
Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows.
The man licked his lips, "Then my ancestor has helped your family a lot." He lowered his voice, "You know that, right? If it weren't for my ancestor's ruthlessness, beating that brother and abolishing him, where would it be my brother's turn to be the master of the house? ”
This is a truly astonishing statement.
I looked at this man in amazement, and I didn't have to hide my surprise at all.
The detective tried to suppress his expression, but his eyes remained wide.
Xiao Ying remained silent, just staring at the man, but there were huge fluctuations in his heart.
Only then did I know that after Xiao Ying succeeded Shen Ankang, he also listened to a lot of old gossip of the Shen family.
affirmed that Xiu favored his nephew and did not care about his son, so some people had already suspected that there was something strange in it. It's just that when I think of Shen Mingyi's dystocia, poor health, and early death, the version of the rumors that Xiao Ying heard was that Shen Changshou was actually Shen Mingxiu's son, not Shen Mingyi's son.
At the same time, there are also rumors that Shen Mingxiu only has one son, Shen Changshou, and his own nominal children are not his own. His father was biased towards affirming righteousness, and he could only look at his wife's maiden face, and put up with the green hat on his head.
When Xiao Ying was growing up, he heard a lot of such gossip.
The descendants of Shen Mingyi themselves are a little chaotic, there are a lot of moths, and the family style is not strict. And because they want to compete for the inheritance that they don't know where to hide, some slander and rumors in the secret are even more unsightly.
Compared to the family trivialities they heard in Aoba, some jealousy and sour words, what Xiao Ying heard was outright insulting remarks.
Xiao Ying was not surprised by the man's words, which made the man's face not look good.
"My ancestor can't do it in his hometown for the sake of your ancestor, so he can only come to this kind of place. If it weren't for that, I would have been in an office in a big city by now. The man's tone changed.
"It's just something you've heard. Moreover, you shouldn't have listened to your ancestor in person, right? Ill hearings makes ill rehearsing. It has been passed down for generations, and it is not clear what the truth is. Perhaps, it was the ancestor of your family who deliberately hurt people, and he ran away for fear of being held accountable by the Shen family. Xiao Ying said calmly.
The man looked uncomfortable.
"If it's really for the sake of Shenmingyi, doesn't Shenmingyi give your family benefits?" Xiao Ying asked again, he had completely calmed down, and he didn't believe the man's words very much.
The man's eyes flickered, but his voice was raised, "I know that you people, you look like dogs, turn your face and don't recognize people!" What a pretense of innocence! ”
His performance like this shows his weakness even more.
Xiao Ying took a long time and watched him silently.
He avoided Xiao Ying's gaze.
The detective spoke, calming the mood and persuading, "We are not here to pursue any responsibility. If you want to be held accountable, you can't be held accountable. As for my employer, I want to know the truth. You know the truth, right? Don't add fuel to the nonsense, tell what you know as it is, and we don't have a lot of money to give. If you lie to us, don't blame us for being rude. We must have prepared this money, not necessarily to whom. I'll find any idler in your village, and you won't be able to survive here. You're right? ”
The man craned his neck, a little resentful, but he was really afraid. He looked at Xiao Ying's expressionless face, and finally said unwillingly: "It's true to beat people." But...... People in your family shouldn't know. The boss was injured and asked a doctor, how was the injury...... What I know is that the ancestor of our family managed to run away. Because of this incident, our family used to quarrel a lot. I was supposed to stay well in Minqing...... I heard my grandfather say that he broke people underneath. At that time, he had just courted his wife...... That old ancestor of my family had to run, no way. If you get caught...... That's it. ”
The man lowered his head and pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, not moving the one the detective had just given. He jerked a few puffs with a depressed expression.
"That's all you know?" Xiao Ying asked.
The man nodded.
"After the injury, how long did it take for Shen Mingxiu's son to be born?" Xiao Ying asked.
Xiao Ying remembered that Shen Mingxiu's first child was his son, who grew up safely and healthily, and continued to continue his bloodline.
Ye Qing and the clients they met were all descendants of this eldest son.
The man shook his head, "He looked for an opportunity and ran away." Didn't go far. Let's start with a nearby village. He inquired about the news and heard that the eldest was very good to his younger brother's son, and their father was also partial to his younger brother's side, so he was so frightened that he ran all the way. I ran a lot of places, and finally settled here. When our family settled here, he died a long time ago, and I don't know where he died. When my grandfather and father talked about it, they all said that he was ...... harm."
The man spat and frowned.
One can imagine the troubles this family is experiencing.
Originally, although their family was a tenant, they lived in the suburbs of Minqing, and the Shen family was also very wealthy, so their life should not be bad.
If he had stayed there, this man might have worked as a white-collar worker in a company in Minqing now, and he would have a better development in Minqing when he went to school and worked.
And now, he is farming in a fourth- and fifth-tier village. also because of the old affairs of the Shen family, their family did not participate in the orchard project in the village, lost money, and may have been ostracized by the villagers.
One wrong step, the family went downhill, all the way to the bottom of society. There is no poverty, but there is definitely no wealth. It will take generations of hard work and a bit of luck to get back to where you were at the beginning.
The more a man thinks about it, the more unwilling he becomes, and he smokes fiercely.
"What about the hanging haunting? It's just a ghost story I've heard before, so there's no reason why your family shouldn't participate in the village project, right? Xiao Ying asked.
The man let out another big puff of smoke and said angrily: "How do I know? They were kicked in the head by a donkey! He cursed a string of swear words, mixed with dialects that he didn't know where, so that people could not understand them, and only the anger in his tone could be felt.
Xiao Ying waited for him to finish scolding and didn't answer.
The detective reminded, "Tell me about it." You must know something, right? ”
The man finished smoking a cigarette, threw it on the ground, and extinguished it, before he frowned and said, "I don't know if it's true." I forgot who said it...... The one who hit someone...... Burned the woods. Requested by your family. He looked at Xiao Ying, "Just that younger brother, say burn the forest." Got a few people...... The forest was burned, and their people seemed to have fallen into evil. ”
