lady, please calm down

Chapter 36
June eighteen.

At Chenshi, Chen Chu returned to Zhang's small courtyard with a large iron pot.

Several people who were eating under the jujube tree had different expressions.

Uncle Yang sighed for a while, and Yang Zhen winked.

Chen Chu put the iron pot aside and sat silently at the stone table. Except for the eldest son, everyone stopped eating and looked at him in unison.

I didn't return all night, so I stayed in Caiwei Pavilion.

Chen Chu, who had already picked up the chopsticks, slowly put them down again, "I said, I didn't come back last night because of the water leak in Caiwei Pavilion and my clothes got wet, do you believe me?"

"Hahaha, brother Chu, even if you are a liar, you have to come up with a convincing argument, Caiwei Pavilion is leaking. Hahaha, thank you for thinking it out."

Yang Zhen smiled exaggeratedly, as if not laughing like that would not be enough to prove the absurdity of Chen Chu's lie.

You see, I know you don't believe me, but I haven't truthfully said that it was Cai San who leaked the water!

"Brother Chu, if a man dares to be a man, he will go as soon as he goes. If there is anything he dare not admit!" Zhang Bao patted Chen Chu on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, but his wife Xu Wan'er gave him a glare, and quickly changed his words: "However, it's still rare to go to that kind of place. You need to learn from my brother, I have never set foot in the Yanliu Field so far!"

Lao Zhang, order Bilian.

After the meal, Chen Chu asked Zhang Bao about Cai Hua.

When chatting with Yunong last night, it could be seen that she was not really afraid of Cai Kun and Qin's mother, but when Cai Wei was mentioned, she was obviously nervous.

"Brother Zhang, Cai Hua looks like she is in her early teens, why hasn't she got married yet?"

Chen Chu started with this sentence, but Zhang Bao said in horror: "Brother, don't you have a crush on Mrs. Cai San? My brother advises you, stay away from her!"

"." Chen Chu was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "I just saw her acting erratically, and I was a little curious."

"That's good, that's good"

Zhang Bao's startled appearance made Chen Chu even more surprised.

"The third lady of the Cai family was a well-known unruly young lady since she was a child, but at most she was a bit petty at the time." Zhang Bao continued in a low voice, "In the second year of Fuchang, the Jin-Qi coalition forces occupied Tangzhou Prefecture, and Tongshan County was inevitable. At that time, Shan Ninggui, the cavalry general of Qi State, was stationed outside the city.
Wealthy households such as the Cai family and Ximen family in the city donated large sums of money and food to reward the army, in exchange for the guarantee that Dan Ninggui would not disturb the sages of the village.

But for some reason, Mrs. Cai San was kidnapped by Dan Ninggui's personal soldiers on the street.

The Cai family hurriedly invited the county lord to come forward, spent a lot of money, and got him back in only half an hour.

However, San Niang Cai lost her reputation because of this. Some people said that she was broken, and some said that Dan Ninggui was drunk at that time and did not have time to be happy, but San Niang Cai was still perfect.

But no matter what, this matter has been raging in the city for more than half a year, and even today it is still a topic of conversation among some people after dinner.

No one from a well-matched rich family will marry a woman who has been talked about all over the city, so she has not married yet."

"In this way, Mrs. Cai San is also a poor person." This past event surprised Chen Chu.

"Poor?" Zhang Bao glanced at Chen Chu, and then said: "In the third year of Fuchang, there was a poor scholar surnamed Li in the city. Let the father and brother be ashamed."

"I'm afraid Li Shusheng has some serious illness?"

Chen Chu couldn't understand the brain circuits of the ancients.
Zhang Bao didn't answer, and continued: "This word passed on and on, perhaps it was passed into Cai San's ears, so Cai San wrote several letters to Li Shusheng."

Chen Chu thought of Cai San's temper, and said naturally, "You scolded him, right?"

On the other hand, Zhang Bao had the appearance of 'I knew you would think so', and then said mysteriously: "No. It's a letter of love."

"Show love?" Chen Chu's jaw almost dropped in shock.

Could it be that Cai San has a tendency to be masochistic?

"Brother Zhang, didn't you make it up yourself? You know what people write letters?" Chen Chu felt that Zhang Bao was probably talking nonsense.

But Zhang Bao said convincingly: "Many people in the county government knew about this matter, because these letters were later used as evidence in court."

"Submit evidence in court?" Chen Chu became more and more confused.

Zhang Bao lowered his voice again, as if telling a ghost story, "Scholar Li is also confused. He really thought that Mrs. Cai San was impressed by her talent. After the two of them passed the letter several times, they made an appointment in the city on the evening of the third day of May. Outfield Lake Private Meeting”

"Damn!" Chen Chu finally heard something, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and his hairs stood up slightly, "Then Li Shusheng just disappeared?"

"It didn't disappear, and was found drowned in the lake the next day."

"Isn't this obviously a murder case? Cai San is safe and sound?" Chen Chu was surprised.

"Cai San happened to have a minor ailment that night and didn't attend the appointment, and just happened to go to the clinic to get medicine"

"Even if she has an alibi, it won't remove the suspicion, right? With her family's power, it's not a trivial matter to find someone who has the skills to wait by the lake to take Li Shusheng's life?"

"Brother Chu, you yourself said 'with her family's influence'. Even if many people speculate that it was Cai Wei who did it, so what? Without evidence or witnesses, who in Tongshan County can convict the only daughter of the Cai family? Anyway, the county lord finally concluded that Li Shusheng was: he slipped and fell into the water and drowned"

"Scholar Li's family is willing to agree?"

"Naturally, Li Shusheng's wife has stopped the county's sedan chair and horse several times to call for grievances."

"Damn, so Li Shusheng has a wife? Then his mother is still messing around."

After Chen Chu said it, Zhang Bao looked at him with strange eyes. It probably means that you also have a wife, and you messed around in Caiwei Pavilion last night. How dare you say it so righteously.
Chen Chu didn't bother to explain to Zhang Bao, anyway he didn't believe it.

"Speaking of it, Li Shusheng is really not worthy of sympathy. Perhaps those drunken remarks will make him feel noble and a moral guard, but he can really drive Cai San to death."

Chen Chu expressed his opinion.

But Zhang Bao sighed, and said: "Who says it's not. If the matter ends here, it's fine. But half a year later, Li Shusheng's house suddenly caught fire at night, and his mother, widow, and two children were all buried in the sea of ​​flames."

"She did this too?" Chen Chu was really shocked now.

Li Shusheng's murder is still in the past, but this group of crazy beauties who wiped out everyone because of this is really a femme fatale.

"I didn't say she did it. Anyway, this matter is still an unsolved case." Zhang Bao stroked his beard and sighed: "At this point, not to mention the children of rich families, even ordinary farmers would not dare to marry such a woman. Brother Chu, you need to remember that even if all the women in this world are dead, you should not get close to her."

"Brother Zhang is too worried. I deal with the Cai family brothers and sisters for business."

"Well, it's good for Brother Chu to know. Whether it's the Cai family or Ximen Gong, they used to be close to us, but now they are close to you, just because they can earn money from you.

Brothers and sisters of the Cai family, who grew up well-clothed and well-fed, despise us fleeing from the bottom of their hearts, so don't be fooled by them."

Zhang Bao earnestly exhorted.

Chen Chu understood these principles, but he still said, "Thank you brother for reminding me."
