Chapter 103 Chapter 103
Seeing that Song Lehe was really unclear about the entanglement between Xia Xueyi and the Wen family, Zuo Qinghou wanted to convince Song Lehe that Xia Xueyi was not a bad person, so he explained it in detail.
"According to the information revealed by the Wen family and Xue Yi themselves, it was Wen Liu who took advantage of the situation and broke into the Xia family to take care of the Xia family's daughter. Then the Wen brothers killed the Xia family and set a fire in order to cover up their evil deeds. Killed all the people who attacked the Xia family, except for Wen Wu, whose life and death are now unknown, they all died in Xia Xueyi's hands," Zuo Qinghou said with a bitter smile, "But Xia Xueyi vowed to take revenge tenfold. , so he did not stop. After the death of the mastermind and accomplice, the Wen family has been killing people one after another."
Song Lehe nodded and said that he had heard of it before: "Yes, until one day such revenge. It suddenly stopped."
"Well, I don't know what happened. Xue Yi stopped retaliating for a while." Zuo Qinghou looked helpless, "Then the news came out that the Wen family had reconciled with Xue Yi. Rumor has it that the culprit is dead, and the Wen family is willing to apologize and try to make some amends, and is unwilling to continue the hatred. The women and children in the Wen family are innocent, and Xue Yi seems to have acquiesced. Not only is he not. He continued to kill people and did not continue the threatening behavior before.
"It's a bit silly," Song Lehe commented, "Wen Wu, who was an accomplice at that time, was seriously injured by Xia Xueyi, but he was not dead yet." How could his conscience suddenly discover the matter of Mie Xia's family? Even if he softened his heart in the face of the ignorant Wen family, he should break up the Wen family first, at least not leaving key people like Wen Wu and the housekeeper behind. The remaining family members should consider whether to be involved."
However, this soft-hearted image is different from the Xia Xueyi that Song Lehe knows. He has no idea that Hong Yao will be soft-hearted in the face of his family's enemy. There must be a reason for his change of attitude towards the Wen family...it couldn't be that sweetheart.
Song Lehe trembled slightly, this was not a martial arts version of Romeo and Juliet. No, with the addition of He Hongyao, the complexity has already surpassed that of the original work. Forget it, I haven’t seen it, I don’t understand it, it has no reference value.
Zuo Qinghou agreed: "Yes, he looks so silly, just like his father."
Song Lehe did not answer the topic. Zuo Qinghou was obviously biased towards Xia Xueyi. There was a certain tendency in his words, and it was clear to listen to it. That’s it. What's more, this has nothing to do with whether Xia Xueyi is a good person or not, but only has to do with the three treasures he took away. As long as the three treasures are recovered, even Lan Phoenix won't care where Xia Xueyi's body is placed, and may think that the farther away this unlucky thing is, the better.
Song Lehe coughed slightly and said: "I can understand the idea of Master Zuo who hopes to bury the son of his old friend as soon as possible. After all, the temperature in Jiangnan is not that low now, so it is not easy to delay. But I also ask for your forgiveness." The Poison Sect is eager to find the treasure. And from the fact that the Five Poison Sect hired Divine Doctor Zhang to detoxify Xia Xueyi and even bumped into your daughter, it can be known that the poison Xia Xueyi was poisoned has nothing to do with the Five Poison Sect, otherwise there would be no need to go out to find someone to detoxify her. Zuo
Qinghou frowned and said, "Are you saying that in addition to the Five Poison Sect, there are people who have taken action against Xue Yi?"
Song Lehe nodded and said, "That's right, and rather than helping to detoxify and hang one's life, they just want to get back the sect." On the contrary, the man behind the Five Poison Sect was just trying to kill Xia Xueyi. The poison he administered was quite dangerous. According to Doctor Zhang, he was already dying when the Five Poison Sect found him, and he could barely cure it. After being poisoned, his inner strength cannot be restored, and there are still traces of interrogation on his body. I suspect that the remaining three treasures are in the hands of this person who did it behind the scenes.
I won't beat around the bush. You are a native of Jiangnan, with connections and abilities. It is much more convenient for the Five Poison Sect from outside to find clues. I would like to ask you to help a group of Five Poison Sect so that Xia Xueyi can be laid to rest as soon as possible. "
Compared with being independent and having deep-rooted distrust of the people of the Central Plains. In the Five Poison Sect, Song Lehe is very familiar with asking locals for help. After all, he seems to have been doing this kind of thing since he came to this world. Moreover, as a local with a good reputation and seemingly not related to the feud between Xia Xueyi and the Wen family, Toubi Villa has an advantage over the Five Poison Sect and even the Sun Moon God Sect, which has a poor reputation, in terms of inquiring about some tidbits of information.
Zuo Qinghou glanced at the smiling Song Lehe and sighed and agreed. The Five Poison Sect held Xia Xueyi's body and forced him to help. How could he really watch his old friend's only son's body exposed in the wilderness? And this request is not too much. He has suffered such a big loss on Xia Xueyi, spent so much time and energy, and now he is kicked out of the way, so it is only morally right for him to help Xia Xueyi.
After seeing Zuo Qinghou agreeing to help, Song Lehe stood up and said, "It's not too late. Let's go check Xia Xueyi first to see if there are any clues. Then we can ask Zuo Qinghou, please call her Mingzhu. We can ask Miss Mingzhu and Shall I make some preparations for Xia Xueyi's burial together? Although Phoenix entrusted me with this matter on the grounds that we are both Han Chinese, I have lived overseas since I was a child and I really don't know what is needed for a funeral in the Central Plains."
Zuo Mingzhu subconsciously asked . He glanced at Zuo Qinghou, and then nodded: "I will try my best to help." After
the matter was settled, the three of them moved to a side room, where Song Lehe had asked others to send Xia Xueyi. The firewood that had passed through his chest had been pulled out, but no other treatment had been done in order to preserve clues. He was still a bloody mess.
Although Song Lehe was not a doctor, he was still a doctor after all, and he also had a scanning function, which could not only relieve Zuo Qinghou from worrying about Xia Xueyi's whole body, but also make it less likely to miss clues. This was also to reassure Zuo Qinghou and save him from worrying about the clues being dissected.
Based on the clues collected from Xia Xueyi, Zuo Qinghou provided three wilderness areas, two cloth shops, and a blacksmith shop. Song Lehe gave these locations to the Five Poison Sect disciples and asked them to find them. One of the three wild areas included the location where Xia Xueyi was found, which made Lan Phoenix more and more confident that he could find some clues there.
After Zuo Qinghou gave these locations, he left. He planned to use his contacts to find out if Xia Xueyi had any foothold elsewhere. Since he needed to monitor Wenjiabao, he couldn't always stay outside Wenjiabao. Let's sleep in the open air.
After seeing off Zuo Qinghou, Song Lehe and Zuo Mingzhu looked at each other in confusion: "Well, what are we going to do first?"
Although he really wanted to go to the Wen family to inform Xia Xueyi of his death and test whether his sweetheart was from the Wen family. people. But since he agreed to make preparations for Xia Xueyi's burial, Song Lehe suppressed the impulse and took the initiative to ask Zuo Mingzhu what to do next.
Although she has no experience in hosting funerals, Zuo Mingzhu still knows what to do: "As far as I know, there are special ministers responsible for hosting funerals. They know a lot about these details. We might as well go and invite them first." A guest of honor, please come over. As for the shrouds and coffins, I have already asked the steward to buy them. I guess the Five Poison Sect is not willing to hold Mr. Xia’s funeral here. I also sent someone to buy a house. I don’t know why. We can move people there when the time comes."
"You can do it now." Song Lehe said decisively. He was still worried that the yard was not that big. What if there was too much movement here and Hong Yao would notice it. Now that Xia Xueyi's body can be removed and everything is done elsewhere, it would be much better.
Zuo Mingzhu led Song Lehe to find a white official who she knew lived nearby. Song Lehe said as he walked: "Although I don't mind if you hold a funeral for Xia Xueyi, his reputation before was not very good. It's best not to be too public, so as not to cause trouble."
Zuo Mingzhu After hesitating for a while, he said: "This may depend on my father's thoughts. He feels quite guilty for not discovering the strangeness of Uncle Xia's accident in time, and may want to make amends at the funeral."
Song Lehe originally wanted to say that compensation was of no use at a funeral, but suddenly he remembered that the last member of the Xia family had just died, and Zuo Qinghou seemed to have no one to compensate him even if he wanted to, so he swallowed his words. , then said: "In the final analysis, the funeral scene still needs people to support it. Xia Xueyi probably doesn't have any relatives and friends, except for you."
Zuo Mingzhu shook her head and said: "The Golden Snake Master has indeed always been a loner in the world. It's not certain how many people could attend his funeral, but the Xia family was considered a philanthropic family in the area. Although their bloodline was relatively weak, they probably had a lot of friends, but most of the Xia family's friends were literati. "It has nothing to do with martial arts. It's probably because of this that Mr. Golden Snake didn't
ask them for help back then." Song Lehe pursed his lips, feeling that it was not so much that Xia Xueyi was worried about implicating others that he didn't ask them for help, but that he felt that in this group of people . By the side of Literary Man, he could not obtain the power of revenge with blood for blood. After all, judging from his methods against the Wen family, he is a person who plays lynching to gain experience and engages in psychological warfare. For him, using government laws to punish his enemies was definitely not as satisfying as retaliating tenfold by taking action himself, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Song Lehe shook his head and said: "Although I agreed to invite Bai Shizhibin to come and preside over the funeral, we should not be too arrogant for the time being and just stop the spirit. After the matter with the Five Poison Sect is settled, you guys Let's take Xia Xueyi's body back to the Xia family for a funeral. He has more enemies than friends here, so even if he holds a funeral, it will only look deserted and lonely."
He still had some unspoken worries about He Hongyao . When he finds out, he will go crazy, make a fuss in the mourning hall, and have a conflict with Zuo Qinghou. Even if He Hongyao claimed that she had nothing to do with the Five Poison Sect by making a fuss in other people's mourning halls and even snatching corpses, she was still a Miao after all, so she felt that it would tarnish the reputation of the Miao people.
Zuo Mingzhu also nodded: "It is indeed better to place the funeral at the original site of Xia's family. He probably would not want his enemies to appear in the mourning hall. Since there is no burial for the time being, why not invite some monks to perform rituals. Xia The young master has lived a hard life in this world, and I hope everything will go well for him after he reunites with his family below."
Song Lehe nodded, remembering his long-delayed question about the impact of the collective spiritual power of the temple and Taoist temples on the meteorite iron, and suggested: "We are going to put Xia Xueyi in the coffin today, so let's do it tomorrow. Let's go to Lingyin Temple tomorrow to ask a monk to perform some rituals. I also pray to Buddha to get rid of the bad luck. Accidents happen frequently during this period. I hope things can turn around."
