Nine Chapters of Mystery Chapter 111 White-eyed Wolf
I spent several days exploring Jiangzhou City, but to no avail.
Even the traders who travel around have never heard of a prominent family with the surname Qian in Maozhou.
While Qian Duoduo was pouting in disappointment, a rice shop owner who moved from Xunwucheng thirty years ago gave positive information.
That is Qianjialing, not far outside Xunwu City. There is indeed a prominent family with the surname Qian, so Qianjialing got its name from this.
He also swore that there were not many people with the Qian surname in Maozhou, and this was the only prominent family with the Qian surname.
This is consistent with the information Ye Guying said about the suicide. If Qian Duoduo is sure that his father is indeed from a prominent family in Maozhou, it must be the family in Qianjialing.
Su Wangting asked the owner of the rice oil shop again why the Qian family had gifted their property to their former servants without any hesitation. When the Qian family changed their surname to He, the boss shook his head and said he didn't know.
He only said that when he left Xunwu City, the prominent family in Qianjialing still had the surname Qian.
According to this analysis, the change of ownership of the Qian family happened within the past thirty years.
So Su Wangting made up his mind and took Qian Duoduo to Qianjialing to find out.
Maozhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, but there are only three decent big cities.
In the north is Jiangzhou City along the river; in the middle is Deyang City, the capital of Maozhou.
To the south is Xunwu City, not far from Wangzhou.
So the two of them headed south.
Fourteen days later, when the two arrived at Qianjialing, they saw thousands of hectares of fertile farmland stretching as far as the eye could see.
What is grown in the fields is not food, but flowers of different colors and shapes, with a fragrant fragrance.
After asking local farmers, I learned that southern Maozhou is rich in various medicinal materials, which are widely sold in drug stores across Jiuzhou, and Qianjialing is the largest medicinal field in southern Maozhou.
And these medicinal fields all belong to the prominent family here, the He family.
That was the former Qian family.
The profits from medicinal materials are huge. Sitting on these thousands of hectares of top-quality medicinal fields, it can be imagined that the He family has a strong foundation.
Su Wangting asked the farmer for information about the original Qian family members.
The farmer shook his head when he heard this and said he would go to a village called Xiaoyue Village about ten miles south of the medicine field to look for it. He said that most of the Qian clan members had moved there.
When Su Wangting asked again why the Qian family had transferred their property to the He family without any reason, the farmer smiled bitterly and said he didn't know. He was also a farmhand in the He family's medicine field, so he didn't dare to make wild guesses.
After thanking the farmer, Su Wangting took Duoduo and went to Xiaoyue Village again.
But as soon as he entered Xiaoyue Village, Qian Duoduo stared at a man who looked like a farmer who was fetching water from the well.
"What are you looking at?" Su Wangting asked puzzledly.
Qian Duoduo just shook his head slightly and stared blankly at the man's back.
When the man picked up the water and turned around, Qian Duoduo suddenly jumped off his horse, grabbed the man and shouted: "Dad!!"
"Dad!?" Su Wangting was stunned.
Didn't Qian Duoduo's father die in Blackpool in Yeliu Kingdom?
Is this girl missing her father crazy?
The man carrying the water was so frightened that he trembled and spilled most of the water in the bucket. He stared at the stranger in front of him in surprise.
"Girl, don't shout randomly." The man put down his burden, frowned, and looked at Qian Duoduo with confusion.
Qian Duoduo's eyes were red, staring at the man's face, and said in a trembling voice: "How...how do you look exactly like my father..."
The man was startled when he heard the words. After carefully looking at Qian Duoduo's face, he took a breath: "This... girl, where did you come from? Your face looks... let alone, really and
I'm somewhat similar."
Su Wangting frowned and looked at the two of them. After comparing them back and forth, he realized that Qian Duoduo was actually six or seventy percent similar to this man.
"May I ask your surname, brother?" Su Wangting asked.
The man said blankly: "My surname is Qian."
"Your surname is Qian!?" Qian Duoduo heard this and grabbed the man's sleeve, "Qian... Qian Yuming, do you recognize him?"
The man made a sound and said in shock: "That's my biological brother. How did you know that, girl?"
"That's my dad!!" Qian Duoduo cried.
"What!?" The man supported Qian Duoduo and looked at her carefully again with a surprised look on his face, "You are my niece!?"
Su Wangting smiled and said: "It seems so, you can tell from the appearance."
The man asked excitedly: "Where is your father? How is your father now? It has been eighteen years since my second son left with that woman. Why are you the only one coming back now?"
"My father and my mother both died eleven years ago!!" Qian Duoduo threw herself into the man's arms and cried loudly.
"Dead...dead?" The man was stunned.
After Qian Duoduo's emotions calmed down a little, he told the man the cause of his parents' death.
The man listened silently with tears in his eyes, patting Qian Duoduo on the back from time to time to comfort him.
Only then did Qian Duoduo learn that the uncle in front of him was named Qian Yuning. He and his father were twin brothers, so they looked exactly the same.
Su Wangting got off his horse, rubbed Qian Duoduo's head, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qian, this kid has been saving money since he was five years old in order to return to Kyushu to find his relatives. Now it's good, he has found his family."
Qian Yuning let out a long sigh, took Qian Duoduo's hand and said sadly: "It's just that our family has fallen into decline, and my uncle wants to give you rich clothes and food... but he is powerless."
Qian Duoduo wiped away his tears and shook his head: "After my parents left, Duoduo had no relatives. As long as I can reunite with my relatives when I come back, I will be satisfied. I am not here for glory and wealth."
After speaking, Qian Duoduo took off the cloth bag from the saddle, took out two porcelain altars, and carefully placed them in front of Qian Yuning.
"These are the ashes of my parents. Duoduo dreams that one day he can take his parents back to his ancestral grave for burial."
Qian Yuning picked up the urn and cried loudly.
"Yu Ming Na!! My brother! I didn't expect that by the time we meet again, our brothers are already separated by yin and yang! Oh my brother, why did you leave!!"
Qian Duoduo plopped down and knelt down in front of Qian Yuning, crying: "Please make the decision, uncle, to bury my parents back to the Qian family's ancestral grave!!"
Gradually, many people in the village were attracted by the cries of the old and the young.
Qian Yuning hurriedly introduced them one by one.
"This is your third uncle and third aunt, this is your eldest aunt, your second aunt, and this is your third aunt. These are your cousins. There are many more working in the fields. We will get to know each other slowly in the future..."
So the elder female relatives of the Qian family rushed forward, crying over the two urns, and hugging Qian Duoduo one after another, calling the poor niece a miserable life.
After everyone calmed down a bit, the relatives of the Qian family saluted Su Wangting one by one, thanking him for helping Qian Duoduo return home.
Su Wangting returned the gift with his hand and said softly: "You should look at the date as soon as possible and put Duoduo's parents to rest in peace. This will end this girl's long-cherished wish for many years."
As soon as these words came out, all the relatives of the Qian family lowered their heads and wiped tears and remained silent.
Qian Yuning wiped away her tears, pulled Qian Duoduo and said sadly: "Uncle, I'm sorry for you. Now that the Qian family's ancestral tombs have belonged to the He family, I'm afraid your parents... won't be able to return to their ancestral tombs! Even your grandfather...
He was only buried on the hill behind this village!"
Su Wangting was startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Even the ancestral tombs were given away? Brother Qian, your Qian family was originally a prominent family in this area, why did it decline to such a state?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuning looked around cautiously, his face full of embarrassment, but he hesitated to speak.
Su Wangting smiled awkwardly and said, "Since it's inconvenient to tell you, I won't ask. I'm just being reckless."
Qian Duoduo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Uncle, Brother Su is a good man. It was Brother Su who avenged my parents' great hatred to me. Why not tell him."
"Oh? Is it you who avenged my brother and his wife?"
Su Wangting waved his hand: "It's just a little effort."
"Since you are the benefactor of my Qian family, it doesn't hurt to listen to what I say!"
Although he said so, Qian Yuning still hesitated again and again before clapped his hands heavily and said angrily: "I have no choice but to give up my family property to the He family because I can't afford to offend the Green Valley!!"
"Cuiyou Valley?" Su Wangting raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "What does this have to do with the Cuyougu far away in Ningzhou?"
It turns out that this matter started from twenty-five years ago.
Twenty-five years ago, Qian Yuning took a servant to Jishui City in Ningzhou to sell medicinal materials and met his wife.
His wife's maiden name was Huang Ying, and she was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in Heshuicheng; nine out of ten pharmacies in Heshuicheng were owned by her family.
Qian Yuning accidentally met her when he was delivering medicinal materials to the drug store. After just one glance, the two of them met.
Logically speaking, the Qian family's foundation is much stronger than that of the Huang family. If the matchmaker is marrying, the Huang family will naturally be extremely happy, and there is no reason why it shouldn't be the case.
But what is helpless is that the old man of the Huang family has a very good relationship with the grandfather of Nangong Lian, the current head of Cuiyou Valley. The two families have already arranged this baby wedding, and it is about to happen now.
So Huang Ying was heartbroken and decided to elope with Qian Yuning.
In order to prevent the Qian family from becoming suspicious after they eloped, the two agreed that Qian Yuning would leave Jishui City first and wait in a ruined temple not far outside the city.
More than twenty days later, she left the words "My daughter left for the man she chose, don't think about it." Then she slipped out of the city on the day she left the cabinet and met up with Qian Yuning.
Huang Ying changed her name to Wang Ying and got married to Qian's family.
The bride ran away on the wedding day, which was a great shame and humiliation for the Nangong family.
Nangong Lian, in particular, was so angry that he wished he could immediately find the eloping couple and cut them into pieces.
Five years later, Nangong Lian was appointed as the head of Cuiyou Valley.
The first thing Nangong Lian did after taking office was to spread news in the Jianghu, put a reward on Huang Ying and her husband's family for clues, and vowed to kill all Huang Ying's husband's family.
At that time, only the servant who went out with Qian Yuning to sell medicine knew about this matter.
This servant's name is He Tieniu. He is honest and honest, and he is also loyal to his master's family.
Naturally, he would not persecute his master's family, and vowed to keep this matter in his stomach.
But when He Tieniu passed away fifteen years ago, he still told his son, He Xifeng.
He Xifeng and Qian Yuning are similar in age, but they are not as loyal as his father.
Therefore, as soon as He Tieniu's funeral was completed, He Xifeng directly attacked the Qian family and threatened that if the Qian family did not hand over the family property, he would immediately go to Cuiyou Valley to report the matter.
Don’t the Qian family know the reputation of Cuiyougu, one of the four famous families in the world, so how can they dare to provoke it?
After pleading with He Xifeng to no avail, the Qian family had no other option.
The right way is to keep the green hills, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood.
It is better to become poor than to be exterminated.
So the master of the Qian family was heartbroken, so he handed over his family property and bought some fields and houses in Xiaoyue Village to accommodate the clan members.
At this point, Qian Yuning burst into tears, tearing his hair and yelling: "It's all my fault that I was young and energetic, and didn't know how to take the overall situation into account. I caused trouble for my own affairs and caused the whole clan to suffer. I deserve to die!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman with still charming charm rushed over and hugged Qian Yuning, sobbing: "If you want to blame, blame me!! Your Qian family took such a big risk to accept me as their daughter-in-law, but I didn't
So far, I have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Qian family. If I die, I will die first!!"
Su Wangting was slightly moved when he saw this, and secretly thought that this woman must be Huang Ying.
At this time, Qian Duoduo saluted Huang Ying very sensibly and said, "My niece, Qian Duoduo, has met my aunt."
Huang Ying wiped away her tears, caressed Qian Duoduo's shoulder, and said sadly: "What a well-behaved and sensible child. It's all my fault, it's not a good life for you when you come back! Don't resent Auntie, wuwuwuwu
…”
Qian Duoduo threw himself into Huang Ying's arms and cried: "Duoduo, don't blame aunt! As long as you can protect aunt and uncle, it will be like fulfilling your filial piety in front of your parents. Duoduo will spend hard days with uncle and aunt from now on."
.”
So Qian Yuning and his wife hugged Qian Duoduo and cried bitterly.
The female relatives of the Qian family were also very sad and cried one after another.
"Stop!!" Su Wangting covered his face.
After hearing this, everyone gradually stopped crying and stared blankly at Su Wangting.
Su Wangting shook his head and said, "I hate seeing women cry the most, let alone such a large group of women."
With a pair of red and swollen tearful eyes, Qian Duoduo slowly approached Su Wangting: "Brother Su... I made you laugh. I said that when I find the clansman, I will immediately return the expenses along the way to you..."
While talking about the money, Duoduo took out the small purse that she regarded as a treasure, pouted and stuffed it into Su Wangting: "I don't know if it's enough. If it's not enough, Duoduo will continue to make money, and when I have enough, I'll return it to you.
"
"You can pull me down!" Su Wangting pushed the money bag back and raised his hand to give Qian Duoduo a headache.
Qian Duoduo curled up his head, stuck out his tongue, and said softly: "Thank you, Brother Su."
"Thank you early." Su Wangting got on his horse and turned to look in the direction of the medicine field, "Is that He Xifeng? Let's go meet this white-eyed wolf thing!!" This chapter has been completed!
