Chapter 148 Peach Blossoms

Lu Jinping said: "You should have killed your second sister-in-law too, right?"

Everyone was shocked at this moment, especially Yao Dongcai, because the second sister-in-law Lu Jinping mentioned was his mother.

He stared at Zhang Yousheng angrily and desperately, and said viciously: "Old thief, did you kill my mother? Say it quickly."

Zhang Yousheng sighed and nodded and said, "That's right, I killed her. After strangled her to death, I threw her into a dry well, and then piled up stones to bury her."

"You thief, I want to avenge my mother." Yao Dongsheng cried, and went forward to kill Zhang Yousheng, Lu Jinping hurriedly stopped him.

Yao Dongcai roared and said, "He killed my mother, and I am irreconcilable with him, why should I stop me?"

"Because, he is your father"

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. Yao Dong pulled out the knife halfway, stayed there, looking at Lu Jinping: "You, what did you say?"

Lu Jinping looked at Zhang Yousheng who was also looking at him in shock and said, "You are not the fourth brother of your four brothers, but the second brother. You pretended to be the fourth brother." He said to Yao Dongcai: "Don't you think you look a bit like him?"

When everyone heard this, they looked carefully and nodded. Sure enough, the two looked a little similar, but Zhang Yousheng was much older and weaker, while Yao Dongcai became a big fat man. In this way, his appearance was different, but the outline of his face could still be vaguely recognized. Of course, this similarity would not be noticed if no one reminded him to carefully compare it.

Yao Dongcai stuttered and said to Zhang Yousheng: "You, you are really my father. I haven't seen my father for more than 20 years. I can't remember what he looks like. My mother said, I was only one or two years old when you left."

Zhang Yousheng sighed and said, "Yes, son, I am your father. For this treasure, I killed your mother, and then pretended to be your fourth uncle. Facing my own biological son, I couldn't recognize him. This is all caused by this treasure."

"What's your purpose for?" Yao Dongcai cried.

Zhang Yousheng just sighed and shook his head, without answering.

Lu Jinping said: "He actually said the answer just now. He wanted to get this treasure, get a huge sum of money after selling it, and live a rich life. He returned home in glory, not to hide from the east and was chased by the **, so, in addition to attracting you to silence you, he also had a reserve, that is, to change his identity. Because the four of them lived in the fishing village by the sea for twenty years, and had never left at this time, nor had they returned to their hometown, nor did anyone know where they were. They had not seen each other for twenty years. Their children have grown up and were still children when they left, so of course they could not remember their appearance. So you can't recognize him as your father. He just needs to kill your mother, and no one knows his true identity. As for the fourth brother, I believe that he had not yet gotten married at that time, right?"

Zhang Yousheng nodded and said, "Yes, the fourth brother had not gotten married before he joined the army. During the army, his parents died of illness, and he was the only one left. So, he was the four of us. He wrote a letter but did not send it. He said that no one could inherit his inheritance. He must use this money alive. My parents also died one after another in the past twenty years, only my wife and children. That's what I thought at that time. In order to have no future troubles, I killed my wife and pretended to be the fourth brother to my son. In this way, even if the plan failed in the future, the fourth brother took them there. They would only look for the fourth brother instead of me. I could continue to live as my second brother. This was my last retreat, but I didn't expect that the Lord was seen through."

Yunzi looked at Lu Jinping in surprise and said, "Brother, how did you see through it? Is it your magical Taoist method again?"

Lu Jinping nodded and took out the letter from his arms of the four of them, saying, "There are bloody handprints of the four of them making poisonous oaths on it, and their signature names on it, which gives me the best evidence to verify their identity. My Taoism can identify who the blood belongs to. I found that pool of blood at the entrance of the cave. After comparison, I determined that pool of blood belonged to the fourth child. Since the fourth child is dead, the fourth child in front of me is of course fake."

"I further confirmed that the blood of the old man who died at the bottom of the cave matched the eldest in the letter, so he is Wang Shiduo's father. The third child's corpse is in another cave. This is what I just learned about. Although I didn't see his corpse, the impact was not great. Because the third child's daughter Jiang Xiaozhou is pretty and far from Zhang Yousheng, she will never look like a father and daughter. On the contrary, the second child Yao Dongcai grew up a little like Zhang Yousheng, so I extracted your saliva at the entrance of the cave just now to prove this."

Yunzi said in surprise: "Can you know if he is his son by saliva?"

This involves paternity test. By comparing the mucosal swabs in the mouth of two people with dna, it is possible to make a parent-child relationship. A very accurate identification is that modern high-tech things cannot be explained clearly to these people, so Lu Jinping just smiled vaguely and said, "Yes, it seems that my Taoism is still very accurate, proving that they are father and son."

Yunzi thought about it, then asked Lu Jinping in confusion and said, "I still don't understand."

"Where don't understand?"

"You said you found out from the pool of blood inside the cave entrance that was the fourth child. And you concluded that the fourth child was dead at that time. Therefore, Zhang Yousheng was fake, which aroused your alertness and discovered his conspiracy. Right?"

"Yes."

"But," Yunzi stared at him with big eyes, "When you made your judgment, the fake Zhang Yousheng did not say that he had killed the fourth brother, but just said, how did you know from this pile of blood that the fourth brother was dead? And it was confirmed that the fake fourth brother had a conspiracy? It was just a pool of blood, not a corpse."

Lu Jinping smiled proudly: "It's very simple. Human blood volume is limited. If a person loses more than a certain proportion, he will die. Judging from the range of blood pools on the ground, it has far exceeded the amount of blood that people need to survive. Therefore, I concluded that the fourth brother who has lost so much blood will definitely die and there is no need to see a corpse."

…………

This day is a rest day, so you don’t need to go to the yamen.

Lu Jinping slept in a nap and then got up after the sun was noon.

The pretty maid Ye Qingqing had already prepared breakfast for her. When she was having breakfast with her, Ye Qingqing said excitedly: "The ice in the pond in the back garden has begun to melt. I saw several small fish swimming around inside. Sometimes they stood under the ice, and sometimes they popped up again. It's fun, let's go and have a look."

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "I didn't expect the snow to melt so quickly. It was thick a few days ago. It could flood the calf with one foot. Why is it so spring blooming now?"

"Of course. The Spring Festival is over, of course, the flowers are going to bloom, but it's still quite cold, so you have to add a cloak and I'll get it for you."

After saying that, Ye Qingqing walked out quickly and took her a tiger-skin cloak from the bedroom.

After Lu Jinping finished breakfast, he walked out. Ye Qingqing quickly put the cloak on him, tied it up, and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two walked towards the back garden and entered through the corner gate. The snow in the back garden had already been swept away by the old woman in charge of the garden, and piled it by the pond next to the rockery and under the small trees. There were also a few snowmen, who looked weird and funny. They were piled up by the little maid in the house in his spare time.

At this early morning, there was no one in the back garden, but the peach trees in the backyard had already had buds, but they had not spitted. The little redness on the branches was already springing.

Lu Jinping looked at the pond. Sure enough, a small piece had melted in one corner of the pond, revealing the faint green lake water. He walked over quickly and squatted beside the pond and looked carefully. Ye Qingqing stood behind him, supporting his knees with his hands, and his beautiful big eyes flashed, looking for it under the ice.

Suddenly, the two of them saw a small fish as big as a little finger at the same time, swimming out from the ice crack. Ye Qingqing shouted and said, "Look, sir, come out."

The little fish under the pond was frightened by the screams, and immediately turned around and shot into the ice like lightning and disappeared.

Lu Jinping gave Ye Qingqing a angrily glance and said, "I can see it. When you say such a cry, won't it run away? What else do you see?"

Ye Qingqing stuck out her tongue, then squatted beside her and said, "Don't worry, I'll come out."

"What are you watching? It's so lively?"

A woman's voice came from behind, with a crisp and pleasant sound, but a faint sadness.

Lu Jinping was overjoyed when he heard this. The voice was so familiar that it should be her.

I immediately turned around and saw a pretty woman in white clothes standing like snow under a peach blossom, spotless, with sword eyebrows flying, eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, like a fog. It was Xiaoxiao, a woman in white who had been worrying about saving his life.

"Xiaoxiao, it's you really? But where have you been waiting for these days?" Lu Jinping walked over happily and walked under the peach tree to look at her.

When Ye Qingqing saw Xiaoxiao appear, she did not follow her. Instead, she took a few steps back, then turned around, quickly left the back garden, and waited outside the door.

Lu Jinping's eyes fell on Xiaoxiao at this moment, looking at him eagerly, without caring about Ye Qingqing.

Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm checking my life experience these days."

"Then have you found out?"

In fact, Lu Jinping had already seen the answer from her slightly frowning eyebrows with melancholy. Sure enough, Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't found it, but there is a clue. I'm about to verify it. Because it's been a while, I'll tell you and ask if there is any place I need my help?"

Lu Jinping's heart moved and said, "What clues have you found? Tell me, maybe I can help you think of ways, work together, and brainstorm." It will be continued.
