dawn of dynasty

Chapter 243: Angry, drawing sword and looking around with confusion

It was late at night, and Shen Guanye didn't stay in the study for too long and quickly turned off the lights.

Wu Ma put away her sewing and left with Shen Guanye.

However, she did not sleep. She was busy in the kitchen and made a lot of food. In addition to Shen Guanye's favorite food, there were also food that Shen Shenghui, An Shi, Shen Zhimei, Shen Zhilan and others liked.

In the Shen family, compared to Zhao Ma, who is responsible for cleaning, Wu Ma's job is more similar to that of a cook.

She has good cooking skills and is willing to study hard. After spending decades in the Shen family, she has developed top-notch cooking skills.The key is to be very attentive. He will pay attention to what everyone in the Shen family likes to eat, and then come up with some new tricks.

Wu Ma's cooking skills are well-known in Hongdong County. Many people like to ask her to help make noodles for weddings and weddings.

The Shen family is also willing to let Wu Ma out so that she can make some extra money.

Wu Ma cooked a lot of dishes in the middle of the night, as if the next day was the Chinese New Year.

The next day, when it was dawn, Wu Ma, who had been busy all night, picked up the vegetable basket and went out again.

Walking out of the door, Wu Ma suddenly stopped, turned around and took a deep look at the Shen family, the place where she had lived for most of her life, and then took another step.

But instead of walking to the vegetable market, she walked quickly to the Zhenlong River.

At this time, it is the time when the morning sun is rising, and the fiery red morning glow falls on the Zhenlong River, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.

Wu Ma put down the vegetable basket, first glanced at the rising sun, and finally in the direction of Hongdong County, then turned her head and jumped off the rocky cliff.

With a "plop", the person fell into the river. After only a few flops, he disappeared on the river.

The river was still surging, and it was impossible to tell that someone had jumped into the river just two or three seconds ago.

Shen Guanye was woken up by Shang Kui and the others.

"Lord God, wake up!"

Shen Guanye woke up from his sleep and saw his father pushing in the door.

Looking at his father's solemn expression, Shen Guanye's heart skipped a beat, and he intuitively felt that something bad had happened.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Shen Shenghui said with a serious expression:

"Come and have a look."

Shen Guanye got up hurriedly and followed his father downstairs. The more he walked, the stranger he became: Why were he heading towards the kitchen?
Previously, he thought something had happened to his second sister.

Walking into the kitchen, Shen Guanye saw the dishes and food all over the kitchen. There were too many, as if there was a big family banquet for the holidays.

But recently, let alone the New Year or the holidays, their whole family is not together. The only ones at home are Shen Guanye and Shen Shenghui, father and son. Even Shen Zhimei stayed in her hometown, so there is no need to cook so many dishes.

Shen Guanye's expression immediately changed, and after a quick glance, his heart became even heavier.

There are dishes in the kitchen that he likes to eat, his father and mother like to eat, his three sisters like to eat, and Shen Guanyu who is thousands of miles away and not at home at all likes to eat.

Even...even the favorites of his long-dead grandparents.

This was so abnormal, Shen Guanye felt very bad.

Shen Shenghui motioned to Uncle Zhang to come forward and tell him what happened.

"Master, eldest young master," Uncle Zhang obviously had a bad premonition and looked very anxious, "Last night, Wu Ma said that the eldest young master was back and she wanted to make more food. The eldest young master has been working outside for a long time. I definitely miss the smell of home.”

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang glanced at Shen Guanye.

"I didn't think much about it at the time, but when I went to the kitchen this morning, I felt something was wrong, so I woke up the master."

Shen Guanye couldn't help but look at his father.

"Other than that, did Wu Ma have any unusual behavior? Was there anything unusual before she returned to her hometown? After she came back from her hometown, was there any difference in her behavior from before she returned to her hometown?"

Shen Guanye asked several questions in succession, and at the same time, he used his consciousness to ask the gods in the Kingdom of God.

"I was busy in the kitchen last night, and I went out early this morning carrying a vegetable basket."

Madame Mo Mei replied with a solemn expression. The rest of the attendant gods, except for the Night Evil God who was always expressionless, did not have very good expressions either.

In fact, they had long sensed that Wu Ma had not slept all night and had been in the kitchen. However, after all, they were gods and not humans. They were not so sensitive to complex human emotions, so they did not feel anything abnormal at all and did not wake her up. Shen Guanye.

It wasn't until Uncle Zhang saw the situation in the kitchen and hurriedly went to wake up Shen Shenghui that he realized something might have happened and then woke up Shen Guanye.

Shen Guanye's bad premonition became more and more intense, but he couldn't blame the gods.

In fact, he himself was a little negligent!
Now that I think about it, something was wrong with Wu’s mother last night.

Although when he was a child, Wu's mother would often watch him play or do homework while working, but when he became an adult, this situation was actually rare.

After he became the Lord of Tianqi and the security section chief of Hongdong County, he never appeared again.

Last night, I suddenly asked to stay with him in the study for a while, which was really abnormal.

It's just that at that time, his mind was preoccupied with other things and he didn't think much about it...

"There's nothing unusual about it."

Uncle Zhang and Li Silang all recalled it carefully, and they did not recall anything abnormal at all.

Also, Shen Guanye and his son are both careful people. If Wu Ma didn't hide it well enough and really showed wrong emotions, they would not have noticed it.

Shen Guanye secretly activated the order. In the kitchen, countless clues merged into a picture, interweaving the figure of Wu Ma who had been busy all night.

"I'll go first!"

After Shen Guanye left a word, he quickly followed Wu Ma's route of action.

Although I already know in my heart that there is little hope, but what if?
If everyone is still okay, then if he rushes over earlier, he can prevent the tragedy from happening earlier.

Shen Shenghui, Uncle Zhang, and Li Silang quickly followed, and Li Silang rushed into the driver's seat.

"Follow Brother Ye."

Shen Guanye didn't fly long before his heart sank to the bottom.

As expected, Wu Ma was walking towards Zhenlongjiang.

Soon, Shen Guanye came to the Shiji where Wu Ma threw herself into the river. By this time, his face had become extremely gloomy.

Many carp spirits and water ghosts appeared and jumped into the river one after another.

Ten minutes later, several carp spirits pushed a huge water balloon out of the water. Inside the water balloon was Wu Ma's body.

The sound of the car stopping suddenly, Shen Shenghui, and the three people quickly got out of the car and hurried over. What they saw was this scene.

"This...why is this?"

Uncle Zhang trembled and murmured to himself. He was an old member of the Shen family like Wu Ma. The two had known each other for more than 20 years. After so many years of getting along, to exaggerate, they were no longer better than family.

Suddenly seeing his "family" pass away in such a decisive way as throwing himself into the river, Uncle Zhang couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.

Not only Uncle Zhang, but also Li Silang's eyes widened and couldn't believe it.He couldn't figure out why Wu Ma committed suicide.

The Shen family has always treated their long-term workers very well. Even during the most difficult period of the Shen family's life, their lives were better than those of ordinary people outside.

Not to mention the Shen family that is now prospering.

It is said that "the seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door", he felt more and more truly what this meant.

Seeing that life is getting better and better, Wu’s mother suddenly committed suicide?
"Li Silang!"

After being silent for a while, Shen Guanye suddenly spoke.

"exist!"

Li Silang trembled all over and responded quickly.

"Go to the headquarters of the Hometown Protection Corps and call Uncle Shengshan and Li Yao to the Shen family."

"Yes!"

Shen Guanye stepped forward to move Wu Ma's body, but Uncle Zhang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Master, let me come."

After Shen Guanye and his party took Wu Ma back to Shen's house, Shen Shengshan and Li Yao arrived soon after.

Although Li Silang had already told the story on the way, the two of them were still a little confused when they saw Wu Ma's body.

They also couldn't figure out why the good mother Wu committed suicide.

"Uncle Shengshan, please take someone to Wu Ma's hometown to see what happened during the time when Wu Ma was home. If there is any situation, it doesn't matter if you just kill her first and tell her later."

Shen Guanye's expression was gloomy and his voice was cold, which made Shen Shengshan and Shen Shengshan look solemn involuntarily.

"Okay, don't worry."

Shen Guanye nodded slightly.

After various external conditions caught up, Uncle Shengshan became much stronger.

Now he is a third-level Tongbei boxer, completely surpassing the "apprentice" stage and truly becoming a "official professional".

In addition to his own breakthrough in strength, he also contracted a mountain owl feather guard and a wood elf given to him by Shen Guanye. It's not that Shen Guanye didn't want to give more higher-level heroic spirits, but with Shen Shengshan's current The strength of the soul, contracting with two level 4 heroic spirits is already the limit.

The person who made greater progress than Uncle Shengshan was Li Yao.

He indeed has a very good talent for martial arts. After he officially awakened as an Apocalypse and various external conditions caught up with him, his progress was frighteningly fast.

In a short period of time, he has become a level 4 Fufeng Swordsman, which can be regarded as a physical realization of his father's good hope of naming him "Li Yao" and hoping that he can rise to the top.

Coupled with a royal guard and a tomb-suppressing beast given by Shen Guanye, Li Yao has now become the most powerful person in the hometown protection group, and is Shen Shengshan's right-hand man.

Compared with more than a year ago, it can be regarded as a real leap from the dragon's gate.

Wu's mother didn't encounter anything when she was in Hongdong County. If something happened that could make her commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, his father and Uncle Zhang couldn't possibly not know about it.

That's all about those days when I returned to my hometown.

You know that Wu Ma has sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, how could she commit suicide so easily?

Most likely something happened to his son's family, and it is very likely that the whole family is gone. Otherwise, as long as even one of her grandchildren survives, Wu's mother will never commit suicide if she is concerned about it!

Only when her son and her whole family were gone, and such a heavy blow made Wu Ma feel so heartbroken, could she quietly commit suicide without any chance of survival and yet so decisively throw herself into the river!
Now, what Shen Guanye needs the hometown protection team to figure out is what happened to Wu Ma's son's family!

Shen Shengshan and the two set off quickly.

After the two left, Shen Shenghui suddenly spoke and warned Uncle Zhang and others.

"Don't inform Madam and the others about this yet, do you understand?"

Shen Zhilan is pregnant, and Wu Ma and the others are the elderly in the family. They have almost watched Shen Guanye and the five siblings grow up. They are very close to Wu Ma.

If we suddenly learn that Wu Ma committed suicide, who knows what will happen?

The An family was able to hide things, but if Shen Zhimei and Zhao Ma knew about Wu Ma's affairs, even if they deliberately concealed it, Shen Zhilan would definitely be able to figure it out.

"understood."

Uncle Zhang and others said hurriedly.

Wu Ma’s hometown is not in Hongdong County, but it’s not far away. It’s in the next county, so people come back when it gets dark at night.

Shen Shengshan and his wife returned to Shen's house with frosty faces. When they saw Shen Guanye, they told Shen Guanye what they had discovered during their trip, their expressions unable to hide their anger.

"There is a bully in Wu Ma's hometown village who has taken a liking to Wu Ma's daughter-in-law. This man was already in charge of collection collection in the village. Now, taking advantage of Marshal Hong to impose another round of taxes, he has come after Wu Ma's son and his family. stubble."

"Mother Wu's son was so angry that he had a conflict with the bully. Unexpectedly, the bully beat him to death!"

"He beat her to death and then took advantage of the night to seize the wife of Wu Ma's son. Her wife lost her husband first and then was insulted. In a fit of anger, she threw her son and daughter into the lake."

"What? How dare this person?"

Li Silang and others couldn't help but exclaimed and looked at Shen Guanye.

In their view, now that Shen Guanye has become a high official, the status of their subordinates has also risen.As an elder of the Shen family, it is not enough for Wu Ma to be fawning over others. How dare the bully in Wu Ma's village do that?

He beat Wu Ma's son to death and took away Wu Ma's daughter-in-law. This is simply lawless. Is this crazy?Are you really not afraid of the eldest young master's revenge?
Not to mention Li Silang and the others, even Shen Shengshan and Li Yao, who had tortured themselves to find out the answer, were still a little unbelievable at this moment.

Shen Guanye's first reaction was also unbelievable.

Now even those in high positions are polite to him and will not offend him easily. Even if he accidentally offends him, he will find a way to turn the conflict into friendship instead of thinking about offending him to death.

How dare a bully in a village dare to do this?
But then Shen Guanye realized that there was nothing impossible about it.

You can't guarantee that everyone is smart and rational.

In fact, most of the people in this world are confused. People with real power are aware of the risks behind things, but people like ruffians are not.

These people's actions are dominated by desires. They can do anything when their brains are hot. They cannot be measured by common sense at all.

Just listen to Shen Shengshan continue to say:
"The deaths of Mother Wu's son and his family were disguised as a tragedy caused by a disagreement between husband and wife. After some torture, I pried out the truth from these people."

"Mother Wu probably doesn't know the truth, otherwise—"

Having said this, Shen Shengshan paused and glanced at Shen Guanye and Shen Shenghui and his son.

"She can't come back."

No matter how stupid that bully is, he should know that if Wu Ma knows the truth and allows her to come back smoothly, he will never survive.

Therefore, since Wu Ma successfully returned to Hongdong County after burying her son and his family, it means that she did not know the truth, otherwise she must have died accidentally.

　The foreshadowing before the climax, the plot is a bit depressing, my brother is so cute, please forgive me.
