Chapter 19 2. Fishing

A guest lived in Chunyu's residence. It is said that he was sent by the current imperial court to investigate the case, and it is also said that he came to treat Wei Shengyan's illness.In short, this young man named Su Changshan lived in naturally and unceremoniously, and chose the most comfortable room facing the sun in the south of the mansion. Su Changshan came to Chunyu's residence for three days. Apart from prescribing a few common medicines, he asked someone to buy a fishing rod, and when he had nothing to do, he would sit by the pond and fish. This pond is also a bit evil to say, on the day Chun Yuling was killed, there were dozens of dead fish floating in the water, which was very unusual.Su Changshan was not afraid of running into evil spirits, so he sat by the pond for half a day, concentrating on fishing.

He not only fished, but also went to the kitchen to cook fish.Although he has never caught even half a fish, this does not affect his interest in making fish.Of the fresh fish that Chunyu buys every day, Su Changshan would use several of them as test products.He also seriously asked the master chef how to cook fish, and he was eager to learn and make progress. Although the chefs in the kitchen thought it was strange, they were all willing to teach him.Because no matter who it is, as long as I talk to him a few words, I always feel comfortable. The sun was shining in the evening, and the water in the pool was warm in winter.

Su Changshan collected his fishing gear, walked back along the path by the pond, and suddenly stopped under a tree.This is a tall pine tree, jasper is still tall and straight through winter.He walked half a circle around the tree and picked up a button under the tree. Uncle Ma, the servant of the mansion, passed by with a vegetable trolley, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Su, are you fishing again? How is your harvest today?" Su Changshan held up the empty fish bucket, which contained nothing but bait.But he stepped forward without hesitation, and tried his best to help Uncle Ma push the vegetable cart up a small slope.

Uncle Ma wiped his sweat with a smile: "Thank you. Master Dalong is cooking today. Are you still learning how to cook fish?" Su Changshan nodded, and said kindly: "I have to learn." The person who wants to learn how to cook fish walks into the kitchen with an empty bucket, and it is already steaming inside.Master Dalong was adding firewood to the stove, and a pot of stuff was stewing on the stove. "What are you cooking?" Su Changshan asked. Da Long turned his head and wiped the ashes from his face, saw that he was an acquaintance, he laughed and said, "I'm stewing bird's nest. It's stewed for the young madam and miss."

"Which young lady?" Dalong was happy to talk to Su Changshan: "Our young master only has one wife, and that is..." "Dalong!" A voice came from the door, and Chunyu Bin stepped in: "Go and prepare dinner." "Yes." Master Dalong replied respectfully, and hurried away. When Chun Yuling passed away, it is said that the daughter-in-law should come out to guard the spirit in sackcloth and mourning.Su Changshan came to the mansion for a few days, but he never saw the young lady that Dalong mentioned. Seeing that Su Changshan didn't speak, Chunyu Bin hesitated for a while, then said to the left and right: "Brother Su, I don't know the details of the case..."

"The autopsy results of Wuzuo have come out. Sect Master Chunyu died of poisoning." Su Changshan said kindly. "What poison?" Chunyu Bin's expression froze. "Tang Sect Danqing." "It really is the Tang Sect—" Chun Yubin's face turned livid. "Not necessarily." Su Changshan shook his head: "The Danqing of the Tang Sect has long been circulated in the world. This bird's nest can also be used as the Danqing of the Tang Sect. After poisoning someone to death, it was thrown away on Hetian Street without anyone noticing."

He then said leisurely: "Of course, this is just a hypothesis." Chun Yubin said in a low voice: "Su...Brother Su——" He seemed to have something to say, but he was hesitating whether to say it or not. After thinking for a while, he finally said in embarrassment: "Brother Su, you are a discerning person, and Brother Yu will not hide anything from you. Wife..." Chun Yubin's lips moved slightly: "My wife Yang Niannian also ran away from home the day after my mother was killed." Su Changshan stopped in his tracks. "When I heard the bad news that day, the whole family was in grief, but Niannian asked for a treasure in the family. I scolded her a few words, but she left angrily——I only found out that she had returned to the brothel after I made an unannounced visit. Temporary stay." Chun Yubin was even more embarrassed, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "...Nian Nian was originally from a brothel, and I spent a lot of trouble marrying her in, but now she is so angry that she... Taking care of the family ugliness, don't let it out, don't dare to let the news leak, even the servants in the mansion don't know about it."

Su Changshan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "The treasure she asked for is the 'Beauty of White Jade'?" The "Beauty of White Jade" is the treasure that everyone in the world dreams of. It is said that this object contains a peerless martial arts secret book, which comes from the Weisheng school.Wei Shengyan is the only heir of this generation, since he married Chunyu, this treasure was also brought to Chunyu's residence with him naturally. "Seven percent of the world's martial arts are hidden in the microbiology" is a proverb that even young gangsters who have just entered the world know. However, the legend of the rare treasure of the white jade beauty has been popular in the world for decades, but few people have seen it in person.

There are definitely not a few people who have thought about this treasure in the past few years.What is the relationship between Chunyuling's murder and Beauty Baiyu this time? "It's Bai Yumei." Chun Yubin said with a serious expression, "I hope Brother Su can..." At this time, a servant came in quickly to report: "The master has invited Mr. Su." — As the sun sets in the plum blossom, a few frozen sparrows flutter outside the window.The interior furnishings are clean and cold, Wei Shengyan is sitting on the head of the bed, his long eyelashes slightly cover his phoenix eyes.

Su Changshan stepped forward slowly: "Jiangnan Su Changshan, I met Mr. Weisheng." "I once had acquaintance with General Jun. The person he entrusted is a trustworthy person." Wei Sheng's eyebrows folded spring water, his clear eyes melted snow, and motioned for the housekeeper to serve tea. The butler at the side was about fifty years old, and he looked very lucky with big ears, and he was dressed in gold thread and silk, which was a bit more wealthy and dignified than ordinary masters. "If you need anything to investigate the case, everyone in the mansion will do their best to cooperate." Wei Shengyan continued.

"I want to ask Mr. Weisheng a few questions alone." Su Changshan sat down naturally, took a cup of Bitan Piaoxue filled with fragrance, and took a sip.He has a relaxed attitude, even if you meet someone for the first time, you won't feel unfamiliar.Butler Zhu bowed and retreated, closing the door behind him. Wei Shengyan glanced at him: "...but it's okay." "I heard that you had a conflict with the young lady half a year ago, you were pushed into the pond, and you were seriously ill for several months. Is this the case?" Wei Shengyan frowned, even for such a small gesture, there was a kind of delicateness and fragility that touched people's hearts. "On the second day after Chunyu's sect master was killed, the young lady also ran away from home." Su Changshan added. Wei Shengyan was taken aback for a moment: "Run away?" "Yes, this matter may be related to the case, so please tell me the truth, sir." "The cause of that incident was Bai Yumei... There are many rumors about this treasure in the world, but it is not on me—not only is it not on me, I have never even seen it." Weishengyan's phoenix eyes were soaked with a layer of snow: "Half a year ago, Niannian met me on the small road. She tried to persuade me about the whereabouts of the treasure. I had heart palpitations that day and I was about to go back to the room to take medicine. I was powerless to explain it. In the stalemate, he fell into the pond behind him, and the sound of falling into the water alarmed the servants nearby. It was rumored in the mansion that Niannian pushed me into the water." Wei Shengyan coughed a few times in a low voice: "I was lost that time After burning for nearly half a month, I didn't know these things until I woke up. I explained to Ah Ling, and Niannian didn't push me into the water. But Ah Ling..." He stopped for a moment to breathe. Su Changshan continued calmly: "After listening to your explanation, the sect master reacted very coldly, even a little sullen?" Wei Shengyan pursed his thin lips tightly, tantamount to admitting Su Changshan's conjecture. "Master Chunyu may not care too much about you." Su Changshan's words came straight to the point, making Wei Shengyan's face pale immediately: "Don't worry about it, beauty is easy to attract rumors, and coupled with the background of the young lady, you When Xiaolu met, what caused the conflict? People in the mansion may have several vivid versions, and the fastest-spreading version must be the eclectic version. Maybe—the speaker was just joking at the beginning, but then the joke is like a long story. It spread throughout the mansion as if it was on your feet. After all, the lives of most people in the world are boring." Su Changshan took another sip of tea by himself: "Perhaps the reason why Sect Master Chunyu is unhappy is because she thinks that you fell into the water and got sick. It doesn't make any difference whether the young lady pushes you on purpose. Or maybe she is worried about your explanation." It will fuel the rumours." Weisheng inkstone supports the forehead, and a trace of softness and tiredness in the desolate and dark fragrance touches it. "You and the sect master have been husband and wife for ten years, and you can't even discuss such a small issue—" Su Changshan sighed: "I'm almost sure that there must be a lot of misunderstandings between your husband and wife." Wei Shengyan suddenly coughed violently, his whole body was like a small boat swept by strong wind and huge waves, as if he would be drawn into the bottomless abyss at any moment.Su Changshan held his back with one hand to help him calm down with his internal strength.After a while, Wei Shengyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, there seemed to be tears in the eyes of the phoenix. "I'm sorry." Su Changshan withdrew his hand. "..." Wei Shengyan shook his head. There was a knock on the door, it was Butler Zhu's voice: "Master, I have brought the food." The food on the plate was exquisite, but it was white porridge and light vegetarian food. Su Changshan said to the butler, "Fish is good for your body. You might as well ask the kitchen to make some for Mr. Weisheng." "I don't eat fish." Wei Shengyan said lightly. "Master doesn't like fish," Butler Zhu echoed, "Only Madam and Young Madam in our house like fish."
