Chapter 63: Clever Chen Xinghe, this is revenge
Chen Xinghai's mood was extremely complicated. His mother asked him to come to the town to buy a jar today. Could it be that she wanted to deliberately gather information?
If it was really her mother who did it, why did she kill Liu Laizi? Because he was trying to steal the chili pepper business?
He quickly shook his head and calmed down.
Although Niang was merciless, she only targeted those with bad intentions and had good intentions towards them and even the villagers.
If I had killed him just for stealing the chili pepper business, I wouldn't have waited until last night. After all, revenge never waits until the next day...
So there are only two possibilities.
First, the man was murdered by his mother, but something more serious than the robbery of the chili pepper business must have happened.
Second, if the person is not murdered by his mother, then there is no need to pay attention to him.
"The officials are here."
Suddenly someone exclaimed.
When Chen Xinghai came to his senses, he saw a group of soldiers jumping off the carriage and walking quickly towards Manxiang Garden, followed by the town mayor Liu Cong.
Soon, a body was carried out, covered with a white cloth, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
But the arm that was not covered tightly was charred, which gave many people goose bumps.
Later, Yu Qian and a group of guys were also brought out, and Chen Xinghai saw his third uncle Chen Tong.
Chen Tong was dejected, pale and in a very depressed state of mind.
He was then stuffed into a carriage with his fellow servants, probably to be taken back to the county for interrogation.
Finally, the two officers locked the gate of Manxiang Garden and put a seal on the door, and Manxiang Garden was completely closed.
The crowd was still talking, but Chen Xinghai had no intention of continuing to watch and drove the carriage directly to the mayor's house.
At the same time, Chen Xinghe and Liu Zhao were also discussing this matter.
However, the two were not at home, but were having breakfast at Weixianju.
Liu Zhao ordered four steamed buns, two bowls of rice porridge, a plate of cold radish, and a dish of stir-fried vegetables.
Both dishes are served with spicy sesame oil. Even though I have eaten them many times, I still love them.
"Your mother is really amazing. She can even develop such a delicious seasoning."
Liu Zhao praised her highly. If he had such a powerful mother, he would have adopted her long ago.
"I heard that Manxiangyuan also made some kind of Manyuan sesame oil, but the taste is nowhere near as good as your mother's. Hey, now that someone has died, I'm afraid they'll have to close down. From now on, Weixianju will be the only one left in town."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhao showed some excitement and curiosity.
"Who do you think did this? They're so bold! Not only did they kill someone, they also set fire to the whole Xiang Garden. What a huge vengeance!"
Chen Xinghe glanced at him and was far from being in as good a mood as he was.
"If we look at the results, it's natural that whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious."
"You have a point. Who benefits the most?"
Liu Zhao touched his chin and thought with interest.
After a moment, there was a sudden "Oh shit" and everyone was stunned.
"Isn't that the one that benefits the most from Weixianju? Did my father send someone to do it?"
When did his father become so brave? Isn't he afraid of being discovered?
"If you dare to do this, you would have done it long ago." Chen Xinghe shook his head.
"That's right." Liu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's definitely not my father's doing, but our Weixianju does make the most profit."
Chen Xinghe added, "This is just from the perspective of profit. It could also be a revenge killing. No, it must be a revenge killing."
"How do you know?"
Liu Zhao was half-believing and half-doubting, as the government had just begun investigating the matter.
Chen Xinghe said calmly, "Because that man's neck was twisted, it means that the person who did it was extremely strong, perhaps even a martial arts master. There should be very few people like him in our town."
"Whether it was breaking someone's neck or setting fire, it seemed like they were venting their anger. Manxiang Garden must have offended someone."
The more Liu Zhao listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Well done, kid! I think you should be the county magistrate."
Chen Xinghe finished the rice porridge in two gulps and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
What's the point of being a county magistrate? He's just a small-time official of the seventh rank. If he wants to be an official, he'd rather be one who's above everyone else.
"Xinghe, are you here?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Chen Xinghe was slightly stunned, and then he saw his elder brother Chen Xinghai striding in with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother?"
Chen Xinghe raised the corner of his lips, stood up immediately, and then was surprised again.
"Brother, your feet..."
My brother's walking posture is clearly normal, and his foot was actually healed? When did this happen?
Chen Xinghai immediately showed some pride and said frankly: "My foot is healed. It was my mother who helped me heal it."
He originally wanted to go to the mayor's house, but the road to the mayor's house happened to pass by Weixianju. He just glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly saw Chen Xinghe here.
"she?"
Chen Xinghe was extremely surprised. That woman could heal injuries?
Wait, brother, what you mean is that the woman paid the doctor to cure him.
But even so, it was enough to surprise him.
"Well, mother has changed a lot. She is no longer the mother she used to be."
Chen Xinghai's words had a hidden meaning, but others who heard it would just think that his mother had reformed.
Chen Xinghe regained his expressionless face: "Why are you telling me this? Forget it, let's not talk about this. Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so today is a good time to get together."
"Well, I'm here to buy some jars today. If you're free, why don't you come with me?"
In front of outsiders, Chen Xinghai naturally couldn't directly state his purpose.
"Okay." Chen Xinghe agreed immediately.
Although he said that he didn't want to know any news about Xiao Ying, he was thinking about how to find out indirectly.
"I'll go with you."
Liu Zhao showed some excitement. He was very curious about that Miss Xiao.
Chen Xinghai frowned slightly: "Sir, my second brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Please give us some time alone."
"Haha...yes, I was reckless. You guys go, you guys go."
Liu Zhao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but it was only for a moment before he recovered.
Chen Xinghe felt something in his heart and looked at his elder brother inquiringly, only to feel that his elder brother was different from before.
My eldest brother used to be very self-conscious and sensitive. He hardly talked to people in the town, let alone the villagers.
Now the eldest brother is calm and confident, and he will refuse others.
Big brother wants to be alone with him, maybe he has something to say to him?
So the two brothers left Weixianju together. Liu Zhao scratched his head, looking bored.
"Xinghe, how have you been recently?"
Chen Xinghai was driving the ox cart and Chen Xinghe was sitting next to him. The two brothers had always had a good relationship.
"It's okay. The mayor and his family are very nice to me."
Chen Xinghe looked at the people coming and going and smiled cheerfully.
"Big brother has changed a lot, he's more talkative than before."
Chen Xinghai was stunned. Was there? He himself hadn't paid much attention.
Then he smiled knowingly: "This is all thanks to my mother, she is really amazing."
