The owner of the coffin shop, who was standing on the side, gave Zhang Lin a thumbs up. It was really amazing. You can guess it right.

  "Father, why did this person order so many coffins in the first place, and what is his relationship with the Geng family?"

  The old man didn't respond. He just shook his head and said, "I only answer one question for you. Now that I've answered it, it's time for you to go."

  Zhang Lin was a little helpless, but he could only turn around and leave.

  After he returned to the Li Mansion, he thought about it all night and decided not to leave.

  Now that he knew that the person who bought the coffin had something to do with the Li family, he planned to stay here and investigate the matter.

  At breakfast the next day, Zhang Lin made his decision.

  When Li Ju heard this, he immediately became happy: "With you here, the Li residence will be very safe."

  For him, Zhang Lin has now become a security guard here.

  "Ju Li, I want to ask you something. Li Yuanxun is also your ancestor, right? Why is his surname Li?"

  After hearing this, Li Ju sighed and said, "Because his surname is Li, he is the real Li family." "

  Zhang Lin nodded. He looked at Bureau Li, wondering how much he knew about Li Yuanxun.

  "Have you heard about him, what is he like?" Zhang Lin asked.

  "He is very low-key, usually taciturn, and he did not return to the West until he was eighty years old."

  Zhang Lin frowned, it seems that Bureau Li's understanding of him is only superficial.

  Seeing Zhang Lin's contemplative look, Bureau Li smiled and said, "Why, do you want to know more? I have important family affairs here, you can take a look."

  As he spoke, he took out a thick book from the drawer, which recorded the history of the Li family.

  After eating, Zhang Lin took the book back to his room. He flipped through it and finally found the part of Li Yuanxun.

  The above records are the deeds of Li Yuanxun. He once revitalized a dying factory, and then the profit of the factory doubled year after year.

  "This Li Yuanxun is quite powerful, but he is so powerful, why would he order so many coffins to harm others?" Zhang Lin said to himself.

  Although he doesn't have complete evidence yet, but in all likelihood, this Li Yuanxun is the one who framed the Geng family.

  After reading all the stories of Li Yuanxun, Zhang Lin closed the book.

  According to the book, Li Yuanxun is really amazing, he will succeed in whatever he does, and there will be no time to miss.

  "This kind of life is too good."

  Zhang Lin paced back and forth in the room, but he couldn't get the clues he needed from this book.

  Because there is no such thing as buying a coffin in the book.

  "What is the relationship between the Li family and the Geng family?" He thought bitterly.

  After thinking about it for a while only to feel a headache, he lay down on the table and rested for a while.

  Soon he thought that he could go out and ask. There are many old people in this town, maybe they know something about it.

  After thinking of this, Zhang Lin hurriedly jumped up, and he hurriedly walked outside.

  Walking along the road, Zhang Lin saw an old man setting up a stall not far away. He walked over, squatted down in front of the stall, picked up a comb, and asked for the price.

  "One silver dollar," said the old man.

  Zhang Lin hurriedly handed over a silver dollar, and by the way, he approached the old man and said, "Master, your comb is really beautiful and your craftsmanship is good."

  The old man smiled and said, "I did all this myself."

  "How long have you lived here?"

  "Decades."

  Zhang Lin nodded, sat down beside the stall, and said, "Then have you heard of the Geng family?"

  Hearing these two words, the old man glanced at Zhang Lin and asked, "How do you know about the Geng family?"

  "I heard that the Geng family is a big family, but then I don't know why it disappeared overnight."

  The old man frowned, first glanced around, and then waved his hand, motioning for Zhang Lin to come over.

  "¨. I heard that this Geng family has offended someone."

  "Do you really know about the Geng family?" Zhang Lin asked. He had also asked two old people before, but they both avoided the topic of the Geng family.

  The old man raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course, my ancestors were next to the Geng family. The Geng family is a big one, but they helped us a lot, but then the Geng family disappeared. It's a pity."

  Zhang Lin heard what the old man said was so detailed, and felt that it must be true.

  "So you are the neighbor of the Geng family?"

  "Yeah, it's just that when the Geng family disappeared, I wasn't born yet. All I know is what my grandfather told me."

  Zhang Lin frowned. The skin on the old man's face was chapped and looked very hard.

  He pointed to the combs on the stall and said, "I bought all these, you just need to tell me about the Geng family."

  The old man was immediately happy when he heard it. Before, he had to pay attention (Wang De's) to see if anyone came to buy a comb.

  Now that all the combs have been bought, he can concentrate on talking about the Geng family.

  "One night that year, it was raining heavily, and there was a sound of carriages and horses coming from the Geng's house. Later, when the rain stopped, the Geng's family disappeared, and they never showed up again."

  Zhang Lin frowned and asked, "Where did those carriages and horses come from?"

  "I don't know this very well. I only heard that there are many soldiers behind the carriage and horses. They blocked the door of Geng's house, and no one inside could come out."

  Hearing this, Zhang Lin sighed, so the Geng family was assassinated.

  "Master Geng is highly skilled in martial arts, so he shouldn't surrender." Zhang Lin asked suspiciously. If there was an assassination, there would definitely be a lot of disturbances between the two forces at that time.

  No matter how heavy the rain, it couldn't cover up the sound of fighting.

  "No one did it," the old man continued. .

Chapter 269

  Zhang Lin became even more puzzled and asked, "What does it mean when no one does anything?"

  "The person sitting in the carriage came to visit Master Geng, who was warmly entertained by him at that time," the old man continued.

  "Is this news true?"

  The old man nodded and said, "Of course it's true. At that time, my grandfather saw what he saw on the top of the wall. He also told his family that there was a distinguished guest from the Geng family. If you didn't go out, you might have escaped the disaster."

  Zhang Lin thought about it for a while, and felt that these things didn't make sense on Twitter. Since there were distinguished guests visiting, why did the Geng family disappear overnight?

  "That's weird. When the rain stopped the next morning, my grandfather looked at the wall again. Oh, the Geng family was empty, and there was no one left."

  But the people of the Geng family are not ghosts, how did they disappear without a sound?

  He looked at the old man and said pleadingly, "Master, can you think about it again, is there anything you missed?"

  The old man narrowed his eyes and thought about something. After a while, he seemed to remember it, and said, "It's very strange. After the Geng family disappeared, there was no blood in the yard, so everyone thought that the Geng family was there. It's urgent to go away."

  "So, everyone has been waiting. The Geng family is kind and generous, and many poor people rely on charity to survive. After that, the Laba Festival was all around, and the Geng family didn't come back, so everyone felt that something was wrong."

  "Because on this day every year, the Geng family would set up two large pots, cook fragrant porridge, and invite everyone to eat it. After several years, the Geng family did not come back, and everyone said that the Geng family was killed. ."

  "But if you live to see people die, you need to see corpses. The Geng family doesn't even have a corpse. Do you think it's strange?"

  Zhang Lin nodded, of course it was strange, not to mention that time, even today, a hundred years later, when he was investigating the truth, he felt very difficult.

  "Have you ever looked for it, the Geng family treats you so well after all."

  The old man sighed again and said, "I've searched for it. We went out to look for each household in turn, but we still didn't find any news. We searched all over the Geng family town, and we didn't find anyone from the Geng family. "

  When the old man said this, there was a confused look in his eyes.

  Until now, the disappearance of the Geng family is still a mystery in his heart.

  "What happened later?" Zhang Lin continued to ask.

  "I couldn't find it later. It's been ten years since then, and everyone gave up. Some people said that Master Geng was kind-hearted and was taken by the bodhisattva in the sky to become an immortal."

  The old man looked a little excited when he said this, and he coughed twice.

  Zhang Lin knew that the Geng family did not become immortals, but became ghosts.

  "Old man, think about it again, who is the distinguished guest who went to visit the Geng family?"

  The old man shook his head: "As I said, no one has seen his face, so I don't know who it is. My grandfather just remembered that the man's carriage was very expensive at that time, and the window frames outside the carriage were made of mahogany. , and intricately carved."

  Based on these words, Zhang Lin can infer that the distinguished guest must be a celebrity at that time.

  Just who will it be?As long as you go back and check the information yourself, you should be able to find it.

  Zhang Lin stood up, he wanted to go back and check the information.

  The old man's words were still unfinished. After all, after so many years, no one mentioned the matter of the Geng family.

  "I haven't finished, you are leaving?" said the old man.

  Zhang Lin immediately sat down again and asked, "What other clues are there?"

  "After the Geng family disappeared, a large number of bandits came to the town soon. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. People in the town fled everywhere. Fortunately, they survived. My grandfather was one of them."

  Zhang Lin frowned, he finally understood why Gengjiazhen disappeared.

  After all, it's still man-made.

  "My grandfather said that they were taken to the mass burial mound, and those people said that whoever could survive here would no longer pursue them. My grandfather's group cleaned up the bones in the mass burial mound for food. Crops and vegetables were planted, and that was the only way to save a life."

  After hearing this, the mystery in Zhang Lin's heart was gradually solved. No wonder Li Bureau once told him that people in this town came from all directions.

  The old man sighed and seemed to think it was very difficult before. He glanced at Zhang Lin and said, "Are you a descendant of the Geng family?"

  Zhang Lin shook his head: "My surname is Zhang, not from the Geng family."

  "Then why do you want to inquire about the Geng family?" the old man asked.

  "The Geng family suddenly disappeared, and now it has become a mystery, so I want to solve this case." Zhang Lin found a reason, of course he couldn't say that Geng Lisan asked him to come.

  "Well, so the Geng family case may come to light one day?" The old man suddenly became interested.

  "Yes, as long as the evidence is found and there is a correct chain of evidence, the case can be solved."
