Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 71 Reactions from all parties
Actually, there is nothing much to say. It’s just a very ordinary banquet.

After Yuan Chenghai came in, he sat at the top. The others were seated on both sides according to their status. Each person had a small table. When they toasted, they raised their glasses from a distance and there was no chance for them to get close to Yuan Chenghai.

The official prostitutes invited were all of some reputation in the capital, and often appeared at such banquets. They had fixed positions for playing the piano, and were even further away from Yuan Chenghai.

Yuan Qiang quickly finished his story: "Lord Yuan was curious about how Miss Qiu Liu saved Miss Qiu Er, so he asked Earl Yongqing. When the two were talking and drinking, Lord Yuan suddenly vomited blood..."

"You mean, Lord Yuan laughed many times?" Xue Han asked.

Yuan Qiang nodded hesitantly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Just asking. To know more, the coroner can make a better judgment." Xue Han explained casually and looked at Earl Yongqing.

Yongqing Bo's face turned pale, and he said hurriedly: "This is none of my business. I am sitting far away from Lord Yuan."

Thank God, the advantage of having no power was actually reflected at this time.

Xue Han retracted his gaze: "Hu Si."

"The humble position is here."

"Arrange someone to record the people present, without missing a single one."

"Yes."

After Xue Han finished giving his instructions, he left Fengwei Tower and went to the palace to report.

Officials were guarding outside Fengwei Tower and no ordinary people were allowed to enter.

More and more people stood not far away, watching curiously and guessing what was happening.

"What's going on? Why are there so many officials?"

"Did you see the person who just came in? That's a coroner!"

"Hiss—so someone is dead? The dead person must be an important person, right?"

Someone lowered his voice and said, "It seems to be that Mr. Yuan..."

"Oh my god, that thief Yuan is dead?"

"Keep your voice down, you're risking your life!"

"What are you afraid of if you're already dead?"

"Yes, it's a good death..."

Chen San was carrying a full load of goods, his heart was filled with joy.

The bastard Yuan died? How did he die? Was it really him? Was it a mistake?
When the thing he longed for came true, he couldn't believe it. He was worried about gaining and losing, and couldn't help but move closer to Fengweilou.

"The government is investigating a case. Do not come near!" the officer guarding the door of the restaurant shouted.

Chen San left with a wry smile, his steps getting faster and faster.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Tao Da asked in a low voice after Chen San arrived at the tea stall and sat down panting.

Chen San glanced at the customers at the tea stall, winked, and waited until they left before saying, "The thief Yuan is dead!"

Tao Da shook the teapot in his hand, and the tea poured out of the cup.

"what?"

"Hey, how do you pour the tea?" Chen San raised his voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tao Da hurriedly picked up the rag to wipe it, but his hands were shaking.

The tabletop was wet, just like Tao Da's wet eyes at this moment: "Is the news true?"

"Really? He died in Fengweilou. Now Fengweilou has been surrounded by many officials, and no one is allowed to get close."

"How did he die?" Tao Da asked in a trembling voice.

Chen San shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet. I came to tell you when I heard the news."

Tao Da put down the teapot in silence.

This silence does not mean that there is nothing to say, but that there are too many things to say and too many emotions to release.

"Brother Tao, do you want to go and take a look?"

Tao Da shook his head: "No, just do what you need to do. What if Brother Que gives you instructions?"

Chen San wiped his face fiercely: "Brother Tao, how do you think Brother Que did it?"

"I don't know." Tao Da had no idea and looked towards the direction of Fengwei Building.

Someone was walking towards the tea stall. It was Liu Er. Tao Da went to greet him.

Seeing that there were no outsiders at the tea stall, Liu Er simply sat down opposite Chen San and said in a low voice, "I heard that the bastard drank a lot and laughed loudly, and then he vomited blood and died."

"He died just like that?" Chen San looked incredulous. "Could Brother Que be among those who drank together?"

Tao Da said sternly: "Don't guess randomly, wait patiently for Brother Que's next instruction."

By now, Tao Da was convinced by the young, unknown magpie.

"I know, I know..." Chen San grabbed the tea bowl and drank it down, trying to hide the sob in his voice.

The bastard is really dead, and those dead brothers and sisters can rest in peace!
When Tao Da and the other two were rejoicing over Yuan Chenghai's death, the news of Yuan Chenghai's accident also reached Yuan's house.

"Master is dead?" Li Niang burst into tears upon hearing this. "Master, why did you leave so suddenly? What should I do in the future..."

Hui Niang was stunned, and tears fell unconsciously. These tears were not so much for Yuan Chenghai as for herself.

Yes, what will happen in the future without that man's protection?
Nie Si Niang also cried: "Sister, did you hear that? He's dead, he's dead!"

Nie Sanniang embraced her sister, her voice choked with sobs: "Yes, he is dead."

The Magpie brothers really did it!

She looked up at the sky, which was blue, and the image of people who had gathered together to kill the thief Yuan flashed through her mind.

Some of those people they had known for a very short time, while others had walked together for a long time. Gradually, they all died, leaving only the four of them.

And now, the four of them, together with the Magpie brothers, have avenged the dead and the countless people who have been harmed in the southeast!

Nie Sanniang also cried.

Emperor Jingping was furious when he heard the news and ordered a thorough investigation.

The people who had drunk with Yuan Chenghai were interrogated in detail, and the coroner made a conclusion after repeated judgments: death from poisoning.

So the people who were supposed to go home were questioned again and searched, but nothing was found. After questioning them one by one, the suspicion of poisoning was ruled out.

The focus of the investigation shifted to Fengweilou, and Yongqing Bocai was finally sent home like everyone else.

The news of Yuan Chenghai's accident had already been known to many people because Fengweilou was surrounded by officials, but it had not really spread. The old lady saw Yongqing Bo walked in with a haggard face and was very puzzled: "What happened to the Boye?"

Weren’t you invited to go drinking? You were so happy when you went, but how come you looked like a frost-bitten eggplant when you came back?
Earl Yongqing sat down and waved his hand to signal the servants to leave.

The old lady couldn't help but sit up straight: "Is there something wrong?"

Now that the old guy has gone out, he's starting to cause trouble?

Is this also contagious?
Yongqing Bo sighed heavily: "Something big has happened!"

The old lady asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

"Master Yuan Chenghai is dead!"

The old lady took a breath and raised her voice: "How did he die?"

Oh my God, isn’t this a big deal?
"I don't know." Speaking of this, Yongqing Bo looked bewildered. "He asked me about the story of the Sixth Girl saving the Second Girl. I didn't want to talk about it, so I toasted him and changed the subject. After drinking the wine, he started laughing, and while laughing he vomited blood!"

"And then?" The old lady was very nervous.

“And then he died!”

The old lady covered her chest fiercely, her heart beating rapidly: "He died when he mentioned the sixth girl?"

Yongqing Bo nodded, but felt something was wrong.

"What do you mean he'll die if you mention Sixth Girl? This has nothing to do with Sixth Girl, and it has nothing to do with our family!"

"Of course I know."

The old lady still couldn't calm down, and murmured: "Anyway, he is dead because he is planning to take advantage of the sixth girl."

And there is Han Yanei who killed Liu Yatou’s adoptive father. The entire Han family is ruined.

She had long said that this girl was evil!
Yongqing Bo was also shocked when he thought of this, and asked the old lady anxiously: "Do you think the sixth girl is satisfied with me as her grandfather?"

He doesn't want to die, he wants to live a long life.

The old lady was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Then you'll have to ask the sixth girl."

So satisfied!
