“I heard that his family is very poor. He only has a silly son who lives with him,” Xue Xiaoxi continued. “His son is already very old, but because he is silly, he still hasn’t gotten married. If he died, what would happen to his silly son? Actually, I heard yesterday that even his silly son disappeared. There was no one at home. Many people suspected that his silly son killed him. Then, he got so afraid he ran away.”
“It can’t be…” Liu Guixia sighed. “Isn’t he a fool? How can he kill people?”
Xue Daxi also said, “Where can a fool run to? Could it be that he saw someone kill his father and ran away in fear? He’s so st*pid, he probably doesn’t even know his way home. It might not be him who killed his father.”
“Who knows?” Xue Xiaoxi said. “The authorities are still investigating this issue. I don’t know if this matter will be resolved quickly at all.”
Liu Guixia and Xue Daxi both said, “It happened near your village. You have to be careful in the future, especially when you come out at night. You have to bring others along with you. This is especially dangerous. He was actually killed there!”
“Yes.” Xue Xiaoxi agreed. “Everyone in our village is a little weary of going out now. Where’s Qian Cainyu? Why didn’t I see her? She was here just now.”
“She went to see Xue Shi again.” Liu Guixia smiled. Xue Shi was also very likable.
“Sis, let’s go take a look too.” Xue Xiaoxi said to Xue Daxi.
“Alright.” Xue Da Xi agreed.
Then, the two sisters went to Yu Hongyan’s room.
Liu Guixia also went.
Jiang Yue was playing with her cousin while watching Liu Guixia and the others go to Yu Hongyan’s room. She was thinking about what her aunt had just said.
An old man in Lingshan Town was killed, but he did not die in Lingshan Town. Instead, he died in the village where his aunt’s family lived, which was very far from Lingshan Town.
He also had a silly son who was missing…
As long as there was a murder case, the government would definitely investigate it. As for whether it was investigated clearly, of course, that would be another matter.
No matter which world or era, people were brutally killed for various reasons. Thinking of this, Jiang Yue did not take this matter to heart.
Looking over at Xue Yan’s side, Xue Yan was currently a little far away from her and was currently being held back by the 13-year-old cousin. They were both still at Sifu’s place. She didn’t know what Sifu said to her aunt’s second son, but her aunt’s second son was very excited and kept nodding.
After about ten minutes, the banquet began.
The central room was quite big, just big enough to accommodate eight square tables. All eight tables were filled, and everyone who came was seated. There was no one standing.
There was a jar of wine on each table. There were also a few jars of wine beside them in case anyone wanted more. If there was not enough, they could take more. They were all bought by Xue Erfu in town yesterday.
Most of the dishes on the table were meat dishes.
Not only did their family build such a big brick house, but they also had a shop in town. Li Qingshu, He Jinshan, and the others were used to it and were not surprised at all.
The others were also from the villages and were used to it, so they were not surprised.
However, the amount of meat scared Xue Daxi and Xue Xiaoxi. They widened their eyes and looked for a long time before they were sure that what they saw was true.
Naturally, the Empress could not come to the front to eat the banquet, but Liu Guixia had a lot of dishes served to Zi Cui and the others in the small room at the back.
It was rare for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to sit at the table. It was just that Jiang Yue was a little small and her arms were a little short, so she could not reach out to the many dishes. Fortunately, her sister-in-law sat on her left and Xue Yan sat on her right, so they would pick up some dishes for her..
