Huaxi Chronicle

Parents died, but the matter is not over.

Xun Feibai heard the deep meaning in Yan Cong'an's words, and said in surprise, "You mean their deaths were not accidental?"

Yan Cong'an calmed down, and continued: "I was also suspicious, but I was too young at the time, and there was no evidence in my hand. Does Fei Bai know that I went to Kyoto to recuperate?"

This matter, Xun Feibai heard Cui Jiamu mention this matter at Laoshan Chang's home that day, she nodded and said: "I know."

Yan Cong'an continued: "I wanted to slowly find out the truth about their deaths, but within ten days of their deaths, I felt unwell. At first, I thought it was just because my parents passed away and I was too sad."

"After the doctor at home saw it, he prescribed a few decoctions. But after taking the medicine, my health did not improve, but the disease became more and more serious. Only then did I realize that there was something wrong, so I asked Aunt Lan to see a doctor. She is my aunt. Father's friend. Aunt Lan found out that I was not sick, but poisoned."

Hearing this, Xun Feibai slightly tightened his grip on Yan Cong'an's hand.

Sensing her nervousness, Yan Cong'an comforted her, "Don't worry, Fei Bai, the poison has already been cured. The poison is very tricky, so the doctor at home didn't see the clue. If it wasn't for Aunt Lan who is proficient in poison theory, I'm afraid I just thought it was a common disease."

"When I found out that someone had poisoned me, Aunt Lan began to find out what the poison was and where it was put. The poison was not put in the food, nor in the incense, but in the interlayer of the collar. Inside. After the incident, the little maid who was in charge of washing clothes committed suicide."

"Aunt Lan was afraid that I would be murdered again, so she asked me to lie that I had been ill and was not cured, and then pretended to be seriously ill and was taken to Kyoto for treatment by my grandparents. In the past few years in Kyoto, I was far away from the Yan family. Everything around me was peaceful and nothing happened. occur."

"Fei Bai is so smart, he should know why."

Xun Feibai's parents had no brothers and sisters in their family, and they had always lived as a family of three. It was really hard to imagine the internal struggle of the big family, which was so bloody and cruel.Listening to Yan Cong'an talking about the past, his parents were murdered, and he was poisoned, and the person who did all this turned out to be his blood relatives.Xun Feibai only felt sorry for Yan Cong'an, who was young at the time, struggling to survive alone in a deep house surrounded by wolves and in a dangerous environment.

Xun Feibai patted Yan Cong'an's shoulder lightly, and asked softly, "Then Cong'an came back to Huaxi County on purpose to find out the truth?"

Yan Cong'an regained his senses from the past, sat up straight, nodded and said: "Well, I want to know why Father and Mother died? Who killed them? And the person who poisoned me, I don't know if it was by the same person?"

Xun Feibai asked: "Then have you found any clues from Cong An?"

Yan Cong'an shook his head slightly, and said: "There are some clues, but they still cannot be confirmed. Fei Bai has also seen it, and he is still in danger at any time, and someone wants my life all the time."

She paused for a while, and then said: "I made a marriage agreement with you, and I also brought you into danger. Will Fei Bai blame me?"

At the end of Yan Cong'an's speech, his tone was a little guilty, and there was also a hint of cautious temptation.

With such a timid expression, Xun Feibai's heart was full of pity, and there was no trace of blame. She shook Yan Cong'an's hand and shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't blame herself, Yan Cong'an felt relieved, and she said firmly, "I will definitely protect Fei Bai thoroughly."

Hearing this, Xun Feibai smiled, nodded to her and said, "I believe that Cong'an will protect me well, and I will also protect Cong'an well."

Yan Cong'an never thought that she said so much, told her that she was in danger, and that this man still wanted to protect her, he was really happy and warm in his heart, she stretched her eyebrows and smiled faintly at Xun Feibai.

She thought in her heart, since the past has been mentioned, it is better to tell her the current situation of the Yan family directly, and there is no harm in letting her know more. As for other things, she will solve them herself, maybe Let her be implicated by herself.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Although the Yan family only has three houses: the long house, the second house and the fourth house, each of these people has their own little calculations. There is also the eldest aunt. Although she has been married for many years, she always From time to time, I want to gain more benefits from the Yan family."

"The father and son of the first house are both dudes but occupy the head of the first line. The second house does not fight or grab, and the fourth house is unwilling to be subordinated to others. After the father died, the grandfather regained power, and the Yan family has been more stable for a while."

"But in the past few years, my grandfather has been old and his health has been deteriorating. He has the intention of re-distributing the property in his hand. The fourth house is in the limelight, and the eldest house is unwilling to be seized by the fourth house. The two houses have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now they are in the same situation. I have no intention of competing for the Yan family. Industry, I just feel that with the current situation of the Yan family, some people may start to make moves again, and I can find some clues, so I returned to Huaxi County at this time."

Yan Cong'an's words were concise and clear, but he also explained everything about the Yan family.

Xun Feibai was a little worried when he heard her talking about the fight for power among the houses. He didn't like fighting, and his family background was mediocre. If Yan Cong'an wanted to fight for power, he couldn't help.But hearing her say that she had no intention of competing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all human children, she can understand why Yan Cong'an is so persistent in wanting to find out the truth.

But how can I help her?

She thought of Cui Jiaze, his father Cui County Magistrate, five years ago, when he was transferred to Huaxi County, Yan Cong'an's parents fell off a cliff and died, the county police should go to check, I don't know if there was anything unusual at that time ?Did the county government leave a judgment document declaring that the fall off the cliff was an accident?

Xun Feibai was thinking that when he returned to Huaxi County, he would go to Cui Jiaze to inquire about the case back then, when he heard Yan Cong'an ask softly: "Fei Bai still remembers that day when you asked me if I would marry you, and I If you don't agree, you say it's only about you getting married?"

Xun Feibai came back to his senses, and asked doubtfully, "I remember. Why did you bring this up?"

"I told you that day that it was inconvenient for me to tell you something. Now I just tell you together. I don't want to marry outside. One of the reasons is that if I get married, I will leave the Yan family. Leaving the Yan family will definitely hurt Cha Tan The truth caused inconvenience back then. There is another reason, the ancestors of the Yan family taught that if a woman of the Yan family recruits a son-in-law, just like a man, she can get a share of the family business and have the opportunity to take charge of the entire Yan family business."

"Although I have no intention of fighting for power and wealth, if I marry directly, I will not be qualified to hold power, and it will not be regarded as a threat. If the people behind this will relax their vigilance and stop making moves, then the truth will be even more unknown. can be found."

After listening to Xun Feibai's words, he understood. In order to find out the truth about the death of his parents, Yan Cong'an used himself as a bait to lure the perpetrators of the crime back then, so as to find clues.

What happened just now also shows that Yan Cong'an's strategy of risking himself to lure the snake out of the hole is indeed a success.Xun Fei knew that she was so disregarding his own safety, and he was angry and anxious, but after thinking about it, if he were himself, he might act like Yan Cong'an.If you have the opportunity to find out the truth about the murder of your parents, how can you worry about your own safety.

All Xun Feibai's worries could only be turned into a deep sigh from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't say any accusations, so she could only comfort her: "I don't care whether I marry or marry."

After Yan Cong'an finished talking about the Yan family, seeing that Xun Feibai didn't blame her, half of the stone in his heart fell.

Leaning on Xun Feibai's shoulders, she intermittently told her some stories about living with her parents.After Xu Shi told the secret in his heart, he felt much more relaxed, and Yan Cong'an fell asleep again while talking.

Xun Feibai felt a little sleepy when he saw her sleeping peacefully.

In the carriage, the two slept together, very warm.

When the state of Liang was founded, Taizu divided the state of Liang into seven jurisdictions: Shangjing Road, Guanbei Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiangxi Road, Jiangdong Road, Guanbei Road, and Lingnan Road.Binzhou City was affiliated to Jiangnan Road. In the first year of Jian'an, Jiangnan Mansion was established, leading Zhenzhou, Chengzhou, Xingzhou, Chuzhou, and Shangzhou, and directly led the three counties of Huaxi, Nanjiang, and Shahe.

As the capital of Jiangnan Road, Binzhou is the throat of water transport from north to south, with Surabaya passing through it. The waterway is convenient.The prosperity of water transport has brought Binzhou merchants to gather here. In addition, Binzhou is located in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It is originally a land of fish and rice with rich real estate.For a long time, there are many merchants in Binzhou, the handicraft workshops are scattered all over the place, the business is prosperous, and the wealthy merchants appear frequently.

Unity time.

The noisy voices outside the carriage woke up the two who were sleeping lightly.

Xun Feibai woke up a quarter earlier than Yan Cong'an, when the carriage was stopping and moving slowly.She raised her hand to lift the curtain and looked out. A hundred feet ahead was the towering city wall of Binzhou City. She turned her head slightly and saw a huge marble plaque on the city wall with two big black and gold characters written on it, Binzhou.Crowds of people surged under the city wall, making noise and making noise.

When Xun Feibai put down the car curtain, Yan Cong'an also woke up. She opened her eyes slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "But are you in Binzhou?"

Xun Feibai nodded yes, then took out a water bag from his bag and handed it to her, "Drink some water."

After talking too much, Yan Cong'an's throat was indeed itchy. She reached out to take the water bag, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Fei Bai."

After Yan Cong'an finished drinking, he handed back the water bag.Xun Feibai also felt a little thirsty, without thinking too much, took a sip from the water bag, her unintentional act, she didn't notice anything wrong, but it made Yan Cong'an's face blush.

Xun Feibai drank the water, thought for a while and said, "Cong'an, pass the city gate later, just put me down."

Yan Cong'an was a little surprised when he heard this, she thought that she and Xun Feibai would arrange her board and lodging together when they said they wanted to go together, but she never thought that this person really thought that they were just going on the same road, and they parted ways when they arrived in Binzhou .

For a moment Yan Cong'an couldn't laugh or cry, I don't know if he should be thankful that this person is simple-minded and not greedy for money, the two of them have already made a marriage contract, and they don't take advantage of her fiancée.It's better to laugh at this person who is too upright and foolish.

Thinking of this, Yan Cong'an felt a little stuffy again.I just feel that I have a long way to go, and I don't know when this person will be able to get the hang of it
