Chapter 689: Ying's Death! Ying's Ghost!
"what!!!!"
"Yingshi deceived me! Yingshi deceived me! Yingshi deceived me!!!"
Inside the wooden house, the grandfather wailed at the top of his lungs, and looked so grief-stricken that he could hardly breathe. Father Yan and grandmother rushed forward in fear to support him, fearing that he would die.
Shui Shou and Zitai were looking at Bai Yan in astonishment at this moment. Even Shu'er, who was holding the child, looked incredulous. They couldn't believe that Ying had actually lied, and it was a huge lie.
My uncle Zihuai didn’t die of illness at all!
And I heard from Bai Yan that when Ying left Yanmen, Bai Yan specially prepared money for Ying, and Cen Qing herself also had a lot of money.
Can……
Zitai was in a daze. He suddenly thought of Yingshi's crying poor face after she returned home, and then listened to Bai Yan's words.
Zitai was stunned. His family was so poor that they could barely afford to eat. Even his wife and concubines had been sent to the city as slaves, and his children had been sold to others. Yet Yingshi had so much money, but she didn't even give him a penny and would rather starve with them.
No, before this, Ying often took Cen Qing away secretly. I thought they were just going for a walk, but now that I think about it, there must be something wrong. It is very likely that she was cheating on me after leaving home.
Thinking of this, Zitai felt a surge of anger in his heart.
I must go back and ask Yingshi how much money is left!
Also, why did Yingshi hide the cause of their eldest brother's death from them? Judging from the nephew's appearance, it was obviously not the nephew who asked Yingshi to hide it.
"Father!"
Suddenly, Yan's father screamed. Zitai turned around and saw that his father had fainted from anger. Zitai was also a little panicked.
Second brother has always been filial to his father. If his father were no longer alive, if he needed help from his second brother in the future, with the help of the Xi family, it would not be so easy for him to ask his second brother for help without his father's help.
"Father, take a break! Don't get excited!"
Zitai quickly got up and let his father lie down.
inside the house.
Bai Yan frowned when he saw this scene. Bai Yan knew that his uncle and aunt were greedy by nature, but he didn't expect that his aunt would be so greedy after his uncle's death.
After exchanging glances with his brother, Bai Yan turned around and looked at Chen Ze and Fu Yao.
"Excuse me, both of you!"
Bai Yan bowed and said with some apology.
Chen Ze and Fu Yao quickly waved their hands to indicate that it was okay. In fact, at this moment, the two of them also looked at Bai Yan with sympathy. It turned out that all the relatives around them were such people. They thought that the old couple and their three sons in front of them were greedy enough, but they didn't expect that there were people who were even greedier.
No wonder I heard some rumors before. When Bai Yan was in Daliang, Wei State, he did not appoint his cousin, knowing that his cousin was not talented enough. Instead, he ordered two other Qin generals and finally his cousin to use their close relationship to deceive the two Qin generals and replace them as Qin envoys. Bai Yan changed his fate in order to avoid the two generals and his cousin being convicted.
All along, Chen Ze and Fu Yao did not take this rumor seriously and thought it was untrue.
And now, looking at this family in front of them, Chen Ze and Fu Yao both vaguely realized that perhaps those rumors were not fabricated out of thin air, but were true.
Half an hour later.
In the small courtyard, as the Qin soldiers arrived, Bai Yan, Chen Ze, and Fu Yao watched them move away boxes of valuables.
Before Bai Yan entrusted the affairs of the Qi gentry to Chen Ze and Fu Yao, he saw his grandfather, supported by his grandmother, walking angrily past the small garden. He ignored the dissuasion of Yan's father and Shi Xi, and walked out of the small garden under the careful care of his uncle.
Looking at his grandfather's departing back, Bai Yan could guess that his grandfather was going to cause trouble for his aunt Ying. Bai Yan didn't want to pay too much attention to this. Even Bai Yan didn't expect Ying to go so far in this matter.
Two days later.
Because he was busy with military affairs and had to meet Hou Yao, Bai Yan did not return to the village and had been busy in the army. Just when he thought his grandfather's family could be left alone, a soldier suddenly reported the news from the village to Bai Yan.
Ying is dead!
Bai Yan was stunned when he got the news. After thinking about it, he put down the work at hand, informed Mr. Wei, and went to the village where his grandfather's family lived.
As soon as he arrived in the village, Bai Yan saw the villagers talking as they walked.
"Zi Huai's father actually beat Ying to death!"
"That's right. He was sick, but they beat him so hard. I heard he almost died!"
"I heard Cen Qing cried and said that the family wanted to chop off Ying's head and bury it..."
When several villagers were discussing, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and when they saw Bai Yan and a dozen Qin soldiers, they all retreated to the side of the road with fear on their faces, lowered their heads and dared not block the way.
A few years ago, Bai Yan would follow his parents to his grandfather's house during every festival, and these villagers naturally knew Bai Yan.
But after not seeing each other for a few years, when they saw Bai Yan again, everyone's expression was filled with fear and terror.
Bai Yan glanced at these villagers and naturally knew why they were afraid of him. Without paying much attention, Bai Yan went straight to his grandfather's house.
Outside the courtyard.
When the villagers saw Bai Yan coming, they did not dare to stop him and quickly stepped back to make way for Bai Yan.
When Bai Yan entered the courtyard, he saw his uncle Zitai with a furious look on his face. He was holding a wooden stick and pointing it at Cen Qing angrily. If it weren't for Yan's father stopping him and his mother protecting her, it seemed that his uncle would really beat Cen Qing to death.
"You bitch, why did you lie? If I had known... if I had known you were a bitch, I shouldn't have let you into the house. Why didn't the trafficker sell you to a farther place and let you, a bitch, live..."
Listening to his uncle's angry words, Bai Yan frowned slightly and walked forward with his trusted soldiers.
All the villagers in the small courtyard, including Yan's father, Xi and others, quieted down when they saw Bai Yan coming. Even his uncle Zitai put down his stick, but his rapid breathing and angry look showed that Zitai's anger had not eased.
"Grandson, my good grandson, you're here! Hurry up and get that bitch arrested. Your grandfather is almost pissed off to death by that bitch! Hurry..."
When the grandmother saw Bai Yan coming, she walked forward with tears and snot. Under her head full of white hair, she looked at Cen Qing with eyes full of resentment.
Perhaps at this moment, the grandmother who was once most satisfied with Cen Qing is now the one who regrets the most for allowing Cen Qing to marry into the family.
"Nephew! This bitch slandered your grandfather's family and beat your aunt to death!"
When the uncle saw Bai Yan's gaze, he took two breaths, then looked at Bai Yan with helplessness and urgency. In front of everyone, he pointed at Cen Qing and said that Cen Qing had slandered their family for beating Ying to death.
At this time, Bai Yan also saw that his elderly grandfather was lying in the distance. Although he was still breathing, he was motionless. In front of the door of another house, a woman kept looking inside. It was obvious that Ying's body was in that house.
"General! Zilu's family resented my mother Yingshi and hid the money and refused to hand it over. My mother Yingshi was weak and unable to speak, so they beat her to death. At night, my uncle took advantage of Yingshi and Zilu's absence and came to the house unscrupulously to take me by force. He even said that he would be rich and powerful with your support in the future, so he asked me to follow him secretly and have sex with him. There are still traces on my body..."
When Cen Qing saw Bai Yan, her eyes were filled with tears. Then, under the gaze of all the villagers, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Yan slowly.
now.
Not to mention that when Bai Yan heard Cen Qing's words, his brows furrowed and he looked at his uncle Zitai.
When all the villagers in the small courtyard heard Cen Qing's words, they were all shocked. They looked at each other and looked at Zitai in disbelief. No one expected that after Bai Yan arrived, Cen Qing, who said in person that Zitai's family beat Ying to death, actually said it in person. It was even more shocking.
Zitai actually assaulted Cen Qing after beating Yingshi to death!!!
This, Cen Qing is Zitai’s nephew, Zilu’s wife!!!
The courtyard was immediately filled with the sound of villagers talking, and then they pointed at the platform.
"you you you!!!"
My uncle looked pale.
He didn't expect that Cen Qing would tell this matter in front of everyone. He looked at Cen Qing in disbelief. Was Cen Qing crazy? Did she have no dignity? If this got out, how would Cen Qing face the villagers in the future? His life would probably be ruined!
"It was you, bitch, who took the initiative to seduce me in the dark night! It was you, bitch, who took the initiative!"
The uncle was panicked and looked at his mother with a dazed look on her face. He kept shaking his head, then pointed at Cen Qing angrily and pretended to beat Cen Qing to death with the stick in his hand.
"Stop him!"
Bai Yan said.
In an instant, hearing Bai Yan's words, two Qin soldiers stepped forward without hesitation, raised their hands to ask Zitai not to move, and put their other hands on the hilt of the sword.
"Nephew, your uncle was really seduced by this bitch! Your uncle and your grandparents really didn't beat Ying to death..."
When the uncle saw that Bai Yan didn't believe him, he explained in a panic. At this moment, he felt indescribable regret in his heart. After the uncle reacted, he thought of something and quickly pointed at Cen Qing.
"It was her. She was the one who beat Ying to death, and then came to seduce uncle at night! Everything was planned by her! Nephew, don't believe her!"
The uncle said to Bai Yan hurriedly, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.
But this moment.
Not to mention the numerous villagers in the small garden, even Yanfu and Shi, did not believe Zitai.
"General, the clerk has arrived!"
At this time, a soldier also came to Bai Yan and reported to him.
Hearing this, Bai Yan waited for the elderly Lingshi to arrive and handed over the investigation of his aunt Ying's death to Lingshi and his group, as well as the elders in the village. After all, it was not convenient for Bai Yan to examine Ying's body in public, and no matter what Bai Yan said, it would be easy for people to gossip about him.
In fact, Bai Yan was a little skeptical. Although his uncle was clever, he was much more timid than his uncle. His uncle was the one who had the will but not the courage. Therefore, Bai Yan didn't believe that a man like his uncle would kill Ying.
What's more, according to Cen Qing, on the night when Ying was beaten to death, her uncle also raped Cen Qing.
This is really courageous!
However, Bai Yan did not dare to be sure. After all, people would change after not seeing each other for a few years. If it was really the person killed by his uncle and disguised, then Bai Yan rashly trusted his uncle and was undoubtedly being used by his uncle.
What's more, two days ago, not only him, but also Chen Ze and Fu Yao saw with their own eyes the angry look of his grandfather's family. It is estimated that some villagers from the two villages must have encountered it.
Also, regardless of whether Cen Qing seduced her or not, what is certain now is that my uncle did indeed violate Cen Qing!
"General, the thing that killed Ying was a wooden stick. The stick was flat and round, and its outline was..."
Ling Shi returned to Bai Yan and said to him.
Following Ling Shi's words, the villagers almost subconsciously looked at the wooden stick in Zitai's hand.
"Bang~!"
When my uncle heard Ling Shi's words at this moment, he was completely stunned. After he came to his senses, he looked down at the wooden stick in his hand, immediately threw it away, and dared not touch it again.
Bai Yan sighed, listened to the discussions around him, turned around, and walked into the wooden house himself. Looking at Ying, who was covered with clothes and lying on the ground, Bai Yan asked someone to move Ying's body to the yard.
"Zhong'er, Zhong'er's wife! It's really not Ying who was beaten to death by your mother!"
My grandmother looked at Yanfu and Shi with a tearful face, and listened to the words of the villagers around her. At this moment, my grandmother cried so heartbreakingly.
"Mother, is that my third brother..."
Bai Yan frowned and looked at Bai Yan's grandmother without saying anything. Yan's father also frowned, hesitated, looked at his mother and asked.
The grandmother was stunned at this moment. After all, the grandmother had not always been with the third son, and she didn't even know anything about the third son's sexual assault on Cen Qing before.
inside the house.
Bai Yan naturally also heard the noises outside, but compared to the discussions and crying outside, Bai Yan's eyes were fixed on his aunt who had become a resentful spirit.
Looking at Aunt Ying, who had become a faint resentful spirit but kept cursing Cen Qing, Bai Yan almost knew at this moment that it was really Cen Qing who killed Aunt Ying.
What my uncle said was all true; it was all a trap set by Cen Qing.
"poison?"
Bai Yan originally planned to turn around and leave, but when he heard what his aunt Ying said behind him, he turned around and looked straight at his aunt.
Ying's vengeful soul was already very gloomy. When she heard Bai Yan's words and saw Bai Yan's gaze staring at her, she was frightened to the point of almost losing her soul.
"Nephew, good nephew, can you see your aunt?"
Ying couldn't believe that her nephew could still see her after her death. This made her both excited and frightened.
"My nephew has killed too many people! That's why I can only see my aunt now!"
Bai Yan pretended to be looking for something, looked around, and walked step by step to the aunt of the resentful spirit. He forced the aunt, who was the resentful spirit, into a corner, and then spoke softly.
Seeing his aunt's soul becoming increasingly dim due to fear, Bai Yan did not dare to scare her any more. He quickly asked what had happened and why Ying said that it was Cen Qing who poisoned her personally.
soon.
Under Bai Yan's gaze, Ying thought of Cen Qing outside, who was still pretending to be innocent, and hurriedly told her nephew Bai Yan what she knew, wanting her nephew to kill Cen Qing.
According to Ying's account, after returning to the village, she found that her health was getting worse day by day. At first, Ying didn't feel anything until she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak and was in a daze all day. Then she couldn't help but want to find a doctor. However, it was not until she was beaten to death by Cen Qing with a wooden stick at night that she became a resentful spirit and realized that not only did Cen Qing not help her find a doctor, but Cen Qing poisoned her personally.
Moreover, this poison was secretly introduced when they were in Shanwu City. When they arrived in Daliang, they changed to another poison. When they returned to Linzi, they used yet another poison.
Each of the three poisons will corrode the muscles and bones, and over time, there will be no cure.
And the people in the family who were poisoned by Cen Qing were not only Ying, but also Bai Yan's grandfather, grandmother, and uncle.
These were all said by Cen Qing herself after she watched Ying's death, and Cen Qing also mentioned a man named 'Master Xu'!
"Master Xu!"
When Bai Yan heard Ying's words, his brows slightly frowned. At this time, Bai Yan finally believed that Ying was not lying. If the poison was obtained from Master Xu, Ying and her grandfather and others would not be able to detect it.
But why did Master Xu give Cen Qing poison? Did Master Xu know that Cen Qing wanted revenge?
While she was puzzled, she listened to Yingshi's words. That night, she saw Cen Qing kill her with her own eyes, and then she deliberately seduced Zitai...
"My uncle once said that since my brother Shuishou is disabled, he will secretly possess my brother's wife sooner or later?"
As Bai Yan listened, he suddenly heard about his brother and sister-in-law.
"Yes! At that time, the proud Zitai said that I was sick and that when I recovered, I would not be able to bear the loneliness sooner or later and would have sex with him!"
When Ying heard her nephew's question, she said with dissatisfaction and reluctance. In fact, at this moment, Ying would rather be invaded by her brother-in-law than be beaten to death by Cen Qing.
Damn that Cen Qing! And that Zitai is not a good guy either! He has been targeting her all along.
In the courtyard.
The villagers were talking one after another. While discussing in private, they were also pointing fingers at Cen Qing.
Under the gazes of Lingshi, Yanfu, and Xishi, Bai Yan walked back to the yard step by step, and then looked at Cen Qing with a complicated look.
Cen Qing, who had been pointed at by the villagers, had been keeping her head down. When she noticed that the surroundings had become much quieter, she raised her head and saw Bai Yan standing in the yard. For some reason, when Cen Qing saw Bai Yan's gaze, she felt a little flustered for no reason. Looking at Bai Yan's eyes, it seemed as if Bai Yan could see through her entire being.
"Right now! We have not confirmed whether grandparents participated in the murder, but it is certain that this man took his niece's wife and killed her with his own hands. Catch him!"
In front of all the villagers, his grandmother, parents, and parents, Bai Yan ordered the soldiers to arrest his uncle directly.
Looking at his uncle who kept wailing and crying out for justice, Bai Yan's face was full of indifference.
"Yan'er!"
Looking at her second son Yan'er, Xi Shi personally ordered people to arrest her uncle. She was a little panicked and didn't know how her grandmother would deal with her uncle.
"Mother! A life for a life, the law is merciless. If grandpa and grandma are willing to come home in the future, we will take care of them in their old age. If not, you can just send them here every month!"
Bai Yan did not show any mercy this time. He looked at the gaze his father gave him, then turned to look at his grandmother who was crying, and his grandfather who had recovered but looked sickly.
"Dad, I'm in the camp and have something important to do!"
Bai Yan bowed to his father in front of all the villagers.
"Oh! Go!"
Yan's father looked a little worried, his eyes full of guilt.
At this moment, in Yan's father's heart, he could no longer bear to see his third son Tai being punished. He thought of his parents and the relationship he had with his third brother since childhood. However, considering the reputation of his second son Yan'er, Yan's father had no choice but to harden his heart.
This matter was originally the third brother's fault, and the reputation of the second son Yan'er must not be affected. Considering what was more important, Yan's father finally stood on his son's side.
In the eyes of Yan's father, Yan'er is now a general of the Qin State, holding the position of Daliangzao. If he shows favoritism, not only will he lose his reputation, he will also be ridiculed by his fellow officials in the Qin court in the future. He is also breaking the law knowingly, which will leave people with something to talk about.
"Mother! I'll leave first!"
Bai Yan looked at Xi Shi and saw her nod. Then he gestured for Cen Qing to follow him.
In the small courtyard, the onlookers did not dare to speak when they saw this scene. When they heard Bai Yan ordering people to arrest his uncle and personally telling his parents that killing someone means paying with one's life, everyone was shocked by Bai Yan's words and actions.
outside the village.
Bai Yan asked the soldiers to pay attention to their surroundings, and then took Cen Qing step by step to the edge of the field and looked into the distance.
"Does Master Xu know that you want to poison me for revenge?"
Bai Yan asked softly.
Along the way, Cen Qing, who had been keeping her head down and speaking timidly, suddenly heard Bai Yan's words. The next moment, she suddenly looked up and looked at Bai Yan beside her with horror.
This was the ending of Bai Yan's grandfather's family. His greedy uncle died because of his greed, and because of his grandfather's indulgence, after selling the land, his uncle Zitai was lazy and had to sell his wife and daughter to the city. His uncle was framed by Cen Qing and paid with his life. The helpless grandparents could only rely on their only remaining son, Yan's father.
Such a result would allow Yan's father to fulfill his filial duty, and would also restore the family to a complete state without any more troubles.
Dai Dao never thought at the beginning that when Bai Yan became successful, his grandfather and grandmother would also be gone. That would be a loss for Yan's father, making the story of returning home incomplete.
