Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "Why is Mr. Xu so nervous?
When I came here, I saw the officials parading the prisoners on the street. I was curious, so I came over to ask what the case was about."
When Xu Guangshen saw that Xiao Chengyi was here for this, he breathed a sigh of relief and invited people into the hall to serve tea. Then he said: "His Royal Highness, you don't know. This case involves both people and the stolen goods, and the murderer also personally admitted the fact of the murder."
.
The victim's name was Han Guiping, a well-known local wealthy gentry. His son Han Qiancheng was a scholar and was preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam next year.
However, people from the family came to report the crime, saying that their young master had killed the master. When the officials arrived, Mr. Han had the murder weapon in his hand and was covered in blood.
Mr. Han fell to the ground and was stabbed more than a dozen times. The scene was quite tragic."
Xiao Chengyi asked: "I wonder what the motive for the murder is?"
"this......"
Xu Guangshen hesitated for a moment and then said: "The murderer did not explain the motive for the murder, but the official guessed that it might have something to do with Mr. Han's mother."
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved: "Tell me and listen."
Xu Guangshen said: "Master Han's mother, Mrs. Lu, is said to have been a noble lady in the capital in the past, and she even had a marriage arranged.
But something happened to her husband's family, and they were also implicated. After her father lost his official position, the family moved away from the capital.
Lu's father later got involved in gambling, lost all his family wealth and owed a lot of debt, so he sold his beautiful daughter to Han Guiping as a concubine.
Mrs. Han was unable to have children. After Mrs. Lu entered the Han family, she was favored by Mr. Han. When she gave birth to a son, she was named in Mrs. Han's name.
I was living a good life, but something happened three years ago.
It was discovered that Lu was having an affair with someone, and it was Lu's cousin who had the affair.
It is said that the two of them had a relationship before Mr. Lu got married, and there are even rumors that Mr. Han is not Mr. Han’s biological child.
To prove his innocence, Mr. Lu was killed on the spot. However, there was a gap between Mr. Han and Mr. Han, and the relationship between father and son became increasingly estranged.
After Lu's death, Mr. Han became even more obsessed with women and took several concubines.
After that, Mr. Han and his father often argued and became very unhappy.
These things are well known to everyone in Qinghe County, and the common people do not find it strange at all that Mr. Han killed his father."
After Xiao Chengyi listened to Xu Guangshen's story, he couldn't help but frowned.
Mrs. Lu is the biological mother of Han Qiancheng, who was married to Han Jun in her previous life.
Han Qiancheng's identity was a mystery in his previous life, but he didn't expect that it would still be the same in this life.
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Does the Han family have any enemies?"
"have."
Xu Guangshen said: "The Han family and the Yan family don't get along. They are mortal enemies in business."
When Xiao Chengyi heard the word Yan family, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Which Yan family?"
Xu Guangshen said: "It is the Yan who is strict with himself. It is said that this Yan family is distantly related to the Yan family of Yongning Hou before the capital. Later, the Hou family was executed, and they changed their surname to Yan in order to clear up the relationship.
The Yan family and the Han family are two wealthy families in Qinghe. Because of business matters, the two families have always been at odds with each other."
When Xiao Chengyi heard this, he felt that fate was really wonderful. He asked, "Is there a young lady in the Yan family?"
Xu Guangshen said: "Yes, Mr. Yan has a beloved daughter named Yan Ruoling, but there is only one young lady in the Yan family.
There is only one son in the Han family, and people once joked that if the two families got married, they might be able to resolve their grievances and create a happy relationship, but this was impossible.
The hatred between the Han and Yan families is as deep as the ocean, and Miss Yan and Mr. Han hate each other even more."
