C611 On the Folklore of the Qing Ya Shu Zhai
Unlike the last time when he tried to trick people into entering the Fengbo Pavilion, this time Shi Dali really wanted to help solve a problem. Furthermore, he did have time now, so he asked seriously.
Last time, he was in a hurry, and the old man only roughly explained it to him, so he only knew that this Tranquil Study of his was a bit strange.
He really didn't know.
After taking the cup from Shi Dali, Chen Yaqiang felt a lot more relaxed.
Matters regarding the Tranquil Study had always been the biggest secret of the Chen Family, and these children and grandchildren had also promised their elders that they wouldn't speak of it carelessly.
However, the current situation was different. Shi Dali was an expert who was able to help Chen Family solve their problems, so there was nothing for him to hide.
"It's like this. Our Chen Family Ancestor was also a rich family, so we had this mansion over a hundred years ago. And it was the ancestor who had personally engraved the words' Tranquil Study 'on the board! All these years, this old house has always been the glory of our Chen Family. After all, it's extremely rare to see an old building of this size even at this age! And all these years, the development of the Chen Family had been smooth sailing … However, the sky is unpredictable, and people get lucky in the end. This strange thing happened all of a sudden ten years ago. "
Chen Yaqiang spoke very slowly, also wanting to explain the situation clearly to Shi Dali. The entire Chen Family caused people to be anxious, so this kind of expert who could solve the Chen Family problem really couldn't be missed.
Shi Dali sat opposite him and listened very seriously.
In the past, he had always listened to such folklore as if it was a story. He hadn't thought that he would actually meet it today.
In his heart, there was still a large amount of suspicion. Although it was impossible to say for sure, but he was generally certain that someone was playing tricks on him. What he needed to do was to extract the secrets and find the masterminds behind it.
Roughly ten years ago, at that time, I was just fifteen years old. I also remember very clearly that a few guests came to the house, and I heard that they were scholars from somewhere. They came to the old house in Chen Family to study ancient buildings and garden design.
After a slight pause, Chen Yaqiang took a sip of water. In reality, it was to cover up the nervousness in his heart.
It was very obvious that his right hand was slightly trembling. It was obvious that when this matter was brought up once again, his heart was bearing quite a lot of pressure.
"What happened?"
"They're all dead! In the guest room in the backyard, there was no movement the next morning. When they opened the door, they discovered that they were all dead. There were six of them in total. The house was in a mess. Everyone was talking about it, especially the workers who said that they saw the six of them wandering around the house at night … "
Chen Yaqiang took out a stack of photos from his pocket and handed them over to Shi Dali.
Teacher Shi was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect there to be a photo, but thinking about it ten years ago, it made sense.
Carefully taking them, Shi Dali looked them over carefully, one by one. It could be said that they were quite detailed.
After all, he had already agreed to Chen Yaqiang's help, so these photos could be said to be very important clues.
What's more, he had Ye Zhe'en by his side!
Although Number One Under Heaven said that he hadn't returned yet, he would definitely return.
When he came back, he could also tell him the relevant clues, and at that time, he would be able to solve the problem very quickly.
As Teacher Shi looked at the photos in front of him, he realized that the situation was exactly as Chen Yaqiang had said. On the surface, these people didn't seem to have any problems, as if they were asleep.
"Are you sure that he isn't poisoned? Have you ever done an autopsy? "
Finally, after putting away all the photos, Shi Dali continued asking.
"Yes, we did. We did all the autopsies, but we didn't find any problems. They really looked like they were asleep. Their hearts and brains were also intact. It didn't look like they died suddenly."
Chen Yaqiang nodded and replied.
Although ten years had passed, due to a series of reasons, he hadn't forgotten about them at all.
"This is really strange …"
"In reality, this can't be considered to be anything. Even if we die, we don't have any responsibilities so we should pass quickly. However, the next ten years are the most terrifying."0
Sighing, Chen Yaqiang's face was filled with helplessness and despair.
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since then, the entire Tranquil Study has become untidy, as if there were some random things hidden somewhere we don't know. Strange things happen one after another, it's fine if people sing at night, but there are also quite a few missing servants, who knows where they went! "In the end, we were no longer able to find a servant, and my father suddenly disappeared one night. After a week, he was found in a dried up well, and became insane after being fished out …"
Speaking of these things, Chen Yaqiang could still clearly remember it and it was filled with pain.
If not for these troubles, it was possible that his Chen Family would have advanced by leaps and bounds in the recent years.
"Can't we move?"
Hearing that, Shi Dali exclaimed in surprise.
Logically speaking, for a family like Chen Family, changing houses should be easy, so why would they still stay in such a place after what had happened?
"We had planned to move in the beginning, especially after my father's issue, in fact, many of us already lived outside. However, Tranquil Study is an inheritance left behind by our ancestors, and it is extremely precious, so we still hope to resolve this matter …"
Continue, Chen Yaqiang replied. Shi Dali had basically understood everything.
"Mr. Shi, you know where Master Lee is, right? You know what Blind Old Man said … So, please tell me, as long as you can help our Chen Family solve this problem, our entire family will definitely express our gratitude to you. "
After saying everything that happened, Chen Yaqiang went back to his goal. His eyes even seemed to shine when he spoke.
"Don't worry, I do know where Master Lee is. Please leave this matter to me!" I will be going to the Capital City in a month, and then, I will help your Chen Family to solve this problem.
Taking a deep breath, Teacher Shi revealed a smile.
For some reason, he actually found the feeling that the Fengbo Pavilion was spouting nonsense.
