The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 628

Qin Qingdong realized it later, "Oh! I said that when I first saw Lin Shan, I thought he was young, but I didn't realize that you, an old man, actually returned to your true appearance."

Lin Shan bowed, his face full of shame.

"I don't want to shave my face. Not only do the two gentlemen dislike it, but even Lin Shan himself feels uncomfortable. Without a layer of hair on his face, it's like he's not wearing any clothes."

At this point, the three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Diewu and Dieyi were outside serving tea and food, but when they heard the laughter from inside the house, they looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Die Wu whispered, "Young Madam is seriously ill, but the Fourth Young Master didn't accompany her. Instead, the Second Young Master followed her here to have fun. You and I must not let this slip, or it will cause more trouble to the Fourth Young Madam and Sister Ren Dong."

Dieyi nodded.

"I naturally save—"

She paused, pulled Die Wu back three or five steps, and then said, "You and I should not worry too much. During the time I have been here, I have seen that the Fourth Young Master treats the Young Madam very well."

Diewu sighed and pointed inside the house.

"With such laughter, could it be that you are worried about the young lady?"

Also!

The two sisters had nothing to say. When they were about seven or eight steps away from the door, they shouted loudly, "Brother Linshan, we two servants are here to bring you some hot water, fruit and snacks."

After a while, Lin Shan came out to get the tray himself, "You go back and take care of the young lady, I'll serve here."

The two men knelt and bowed before leaving.

When Lin Shan came back inside, Qin Qingdong hadn't finished his dinner yet. He looked at the freshly baked snacks, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. "Tell me quickly, how do you know so much?"

"I have been a beggar for three or five days, begging for food on the two streets outside the Princess's Villa. The death of Prince An was very sudden. I was ordered by the Fourth Young Master to investigate. What is very strange is that on the night of Prince An's death, the people living in the humble houses outside the back door of Prince An's Mansion privately rumored that there was a ghost."

When Pei An heard this, his eyes became fierce.

Lin Shan looked at Pei An and nodded slightly, "I checked it out. It's not a ghost. It's probably a thief who sneaked in in the middle of the night. It's just that the tiles on the roof of the common people's house are thin, and the thief stepped on a few tiles and collapsed them, causing dogs to bark and chickens to crow. Then the word spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and then people said that a fierce ghost came to Prince An's mansion to take lives."

Qin Qingdong slapped his thigh, "Prince An was murdered by someone?"

After saying this, he immediately shook his head and denied it, "Impossible! Impossible! Prince An has been mediocre all his life, he has never sought power or money, he just likes to walk his dog and play with his cat, he is obsessed with playing with things, how could he have a mortal enemy to harm him!"

absurd!

impossible!

Lin Shan glanced at the two young masters. His own fourth young master seemed to have a clear mind and guessed something. "On the day when Prince An passed away, was there any movement in the Princess's Mansion?"

"Early in the morning of the day after Prince An passed away, I heard that he rode back to the palace exhausted and said to someone at the door that his trip to Cheng County was not smooth and he almost ran into some blind bandits on the way."

Ok?

Pei An tilted his head, "Qiao Wan said that?"

Lin Shan bowed, "That's right. Normally, no one could hear it. But that day, he came back with a big scene, as if he was in danger. When he spoke to the doorman, his voice was much louder than usual. Otherwise, how could the people across the street hear it!"

Qin Qingdong tilted his head, "What's wrong with this?"

Pei An tapped the table with his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's right that you can't hear it. It's strange to deliberately let people hear it."

Lin Shan nodded vigorously.

"I went to interrogate Lao Zhou and the others. They didn't have any useful information, but this sentence was heard by both tea doctors. I just told them. I thought, Qiao Wan always wanted to blend into the crowd and kept a low profile. Why would he say that so abruptly?"

"and after?"

Lin Shan sighed, "It was the time when Prince An's Mansion was in mourning. I went in from time to time to get some information, but I came back empty-handed. Even the imperial physician and everyone in Prince An's Mansion thought that our prince was frightened by the cat and choked to death after eating the biscuit. I always felt something was wrong. The eldest lady tried every means to stop the marriage with Prince Yong. Prince An's sudden death meant that not only the royal family members, but also the officials above the fifth rank in the capital had to observe mourning. This matter... is unusual!"

Hearing this, Qin Qingdong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Prince An has passed away. The marriage between our smart girl and Prince Yong will definitely be postponed for three months. Ha! Could it be that -"

He didn't dare to say what he was thinking, but Pei An looked calm and motioned Lin Shan to continue.

"I was determined to wait for you near the princess's villa. Yesterday morning, my efforts paid off. The young lady caused such a scene."

"Who is she going to see?"

Pei An talked to himself, Lin Shan shook his head, "These subordinates haven't found out yet, but yesterday evening, Young Master Jin sent his butler Jin Mo to salvage the carriage and Qiao Wan's body from the river outside the city. Who would have thought that there was not only Qiao Wan's body, but also the bodies of two other men from Hujia Village. It is said that one of them, named Hu Lao Er, was the one who saved the young lady."

"Ah! Linshan, what is this song about?"

Qin Qingdong almost jumped up. The person who saved his life died at the bottom of the river. How could this make sense?

Lin Shan shook his head. "I don't know the details, but last night, hundreds of people from Hujia Village were surrounded by Jin Moji's seven or eight servants and guards. This morning, they entered the city in a mighty manner and made a scene at the county government office. The father and two daughters-in-law of Hu Laoer cried all the way, saying that the princess's daughter, Miss Jin, killed people to silence them and killed his two sons..."

That situation——

Qin Qingdong didn't need to think too much to know how explosive it was.

"Did you make such a fuss all the way here?"

Lin Shan nodded, "The people of Hujia Village were also smart. They beat gongs and drums, and cried to the heavens and the earth. At first, they couldn't find the county government office, so they went around two markets before they found the gate of the government office—"

Qin Qingdong suddenly burst into laughter.

"Whether Jin Fuyun killed the person or not, I won't speculate, but this matter..., hahahaha, I'm afraid Jin Fuyun couldn't have imagined that when she was so careless about people's lives in the past, she didn't expect that there would be such a day."

Pei An understood roughly after hearing this.

"Linshan, just stay at home for the next few days. Don't bother with those things anymore. If the Jin family wants to get out of this, they will probably suffer a lot. Prince Yong may even be implicated."

Lin Shan nodded, "If you do too much evil, you will eventually die. When Qiao Wan sent someone to poison him, he probably didn't expect that he would drown himself."

Qin Qingdong's face was full of joy and he patted Lin Shan's shoulder heavily.

"It's up to you, big brother, to take action. I'll also send someone to investigate the matter of Prince An's death." As soon as he finished speaking, Pei An raised his head to stop him, "Don't get involved in this mess."

Qin Qingdong was puzzled, "Why?"

Pei An sighed, "If the eldest girl was so bold as to send someone to do this, then even if Qiao Wan didn't drown yesterday, he would be hanged or die suddenly tomorrow, just like Yu Cheng who disappeared without a sound."

Qin Qingdong was puzzled. "You mean, the general took action——"
