Chapter 60: Separation 11
readx;? Yang Xueshi took the chopsticks and said: "Among the eight people, Xu Yingwen, Ah Gui, Ah Da, Zhao Xiangli, Ah Kuan, and Zhao Tianci are men, considering that Xiuying's strength is relatively large, only Ah Gui, Ah Da, Ah Kuan, and Zhao Tianci are the only four people who can strangle her." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When Xiuying died, Ah Da and Zhao Xiangli were still in the side hall, and Ah Kuan was with Zhao Tianci, so if you count it, only Ah Gui is the only one who has the opportunity to kill Xiuying. It's a pity that Ah Gui was killed by Ah Kuan again......"
He said a lot, and when he saw that Zhao Ran was bored, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, I'll talk to you!"
Zhao Ran raised his head and said: "Why did Ah Gui kill Xiuying? He didn't rape her, and he didn't kill Zhao Jing, if it was to provide a place to cheat, or to conceal Ah Kuan's crime and run to kill someone, it would be a bit far-fetched." The most taboo person for Xiuying, there is Zhao Min'er in front and Zhao Yingwen in the back, how can it not be his turn to be Gui. ”
"Ah Gui is insatiable, maybe he was bribed by Ah Kuan to kill Xiuying, and then Ah Kuan waited for the opportunity to get rid of Ah Gui. ”
Xiuying was actually stunned by someone and raped, she said that she saw that Zhao Jing was instigated by the Wu family and instigated by Ah Kuan, to say that the person who can directly threaten Ah Kuan is only Ah Gui, no matter how stupid Ah Gui is, it is impossible for Ah Kuan not to know, Ah Kuan can kill Xiuying, he can kill him, if Ah Kuan does this, it is very likely that he will be forced to confess to him early, Ah Kuan is bold and careful, he can't do it. ”
Then only Zhao Tianci was left, but when he arrived at Xiuniang's courtyard, Xiuying was already dead. Yang Xueshi said, "Could it be that the people of the Zhao Mansion removed Xiuying in order to cover up Zhao Tianci's crimes." ”
"If Zhao Mansion is a place that acts like this, Zhao Min'er will not only have hatred for Zhao Tianci, and Ji Niang has been treated differently by Dangyu Village for three or four years, and she has no complaints about Zhao Yongbo, which shows that Zhao Yongbo's fairness is beyond reproach at least on the surface. ”
Yang Xueshi nodded and said, "If this is the case, otherwise the emperor will not let the concubine Wang Zeng come to visit the Zhao family." ”
Zhao Ran asked: "Why did the emperor suddenly think of asking the horse Wang Zeng to visit the Zhao family?"
Yang Xueshi looked around and said a little reservedly: "Originally, you couldn't know." ”
Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "That's also the blessing that Xiaomin has to know Lord Yang." ”
Yang Xue Shicai said: "The government officials here reported to the court that the Zhao family has educated the fishermen, so that the local people are simple and simple, and there has been no bad thing for more than ten years, which has brought a good teaching effect to the rule." The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked the horse Wang Zeng to bring a will to the Zhao Mansion on the way, reciting the loyalty and purity of the Zhao family in the past dynasties, and rewarding a memorial arch of merit, and the seven officials below need to get off the sedan chair and walk. ”
"I didn't hear that will!"
Yang Xueshi said: "As soon as the horse arrived in Dangyu Village, Zhao Min'er shouted for his brother to stop the sedan chair, and of course the horse's will cannot be announced. ”
"So Wang Zeng should still stay nearby. ”
"Of course, how can he leave easily before this matter is over. ”
After losing his mind for a long time, he suddenly laughed twice.
Yang Xueshi frowned and looked at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhaoran looked at him and said, "I finally know where my stubble went wrong." ”
"Where?" Yang Xueshi still wanted to ask, and said Zhaoran: "Eat, let's go to the ancestral hall after eating." ”
----
After he finished speaking, Yang Xueshi didn't have much appetite, so he ate a little hastily, and told the people of Zhao Mansion to go out for a walk and eliminate food, so he asked for a lantern and went out.
Zhao Ran stood at the door and said, "Wu, Zhao Xiangli, where are the three of Ah Da now?"
"Wu woke up, because she committed such a thing, so I asked her to guard her in the firewood house in the kitchen, Ah Da and Zhao Xiangli are still living in the inverted house of the gatehouse, and I also sent someone to guard her. ”
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "It seems that it is difficult to be calm tonight, the second master should be careful." ”
Zhao Zhongbo's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he responded "yes" repeatedly, and then asked, "Do you want me to send someone to show the way to the old lady?"
Yang Xueshi replied: "We just walk around, so we don't have to find someone to follow." ”
"Good, good. ”
When it is so sensitive, there are many mistakes in doing too much, maybe this Lord Yushi wants to make a private visit to Weifu, and if they get together, it will make people think that they have ghosts in their hearts, so after Zhao Zhongbo said politely, he let them go.
----
They spared a big circle, and there were several murders in a row in the fishing village, but the village was very calm, and there was no noise at all.
There was no road behind the ancestral hall, and the bottom of the slope was the lake next to the fishing village, and Zhaoran looked at the bottom of the cliff, and then turned his head to look at the ancestral hall surrounded by a high wall.
Yang Xueshi opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you say that the first person to die should be Ah Da." ”
Zhao Ran turned his head: "Because I thought it was a conspiracy, but I didn't know that it was a simple matter." ”
"Simple, where is this simple? I don't even know how Xiuying died or who killed her. ”
Zhao Ran raised his head and said, "The whole thing seems a little incomprehensible, but if you can figure out why a person would do that, you can roughly understand how they killed people." ”
The two of them hadn't yet elaborated, but they heard a voice in the distance shouting hurriedly: "Lord Yang, old lady." ”
"Not good. Zhaoran and Yang Xueshi turned around and ran.
Ran to the nearest place and said, "Who is dead again?"
"It's Wu, Wu, she hanged herself in the firewood room, and the second master ordered us to come to the adults and the old lady. "Humanity.
----
When Zhaoran and Yang Xueshi walked into the firewood room, the Wu family had already been put down, and there were some scattered firewood piles on the ground, and Zhao Zhongbo sat on the side tiredly.
Yang Xueshi probed Wu's chest and asked, "Who guarded her?"
The other two cooks next to him said, "It's us." ”
Zhao Ran said, "How did you find out?"
The cook replied, "We stood outside the door until the second master came and opened the door, only to find that Wu had committed suicide by stepping on the pyre with his belt inside. ”
"Except for the second master, has anyone else come in?"
The cooks glanced at each other, and then murmured: "Zhao Jiamin'er came once, but we didn't let her in, she scolded Wu through the door and left, could it be that Wu told her to kill herself after scolding?"
Zhaoran pointed to Wu's sleeve and said, "What is Wu's hand holding?"
The cooks hurriedly pulled up Wu's sleeves, and sure enough, they saw Wu's hands clenched into fists, and it took a while to unfold, and inside was a silver peanut.
"What is this?" asked Zhao Zhongbo.
Zhao Ran picked up the silver peanut and said with some emotion: "It's the jewelry on the wrist of the Wu family's grandson." ”
Yang Xueshi was shocked: "What about the child?"
Zhao Zhongbo said: "The son and daughter-in-law of the Wu family came to pick up the Wu family, and I have asked them to bring it back." He said thoughtfully, "Could it be that this Wu family is guilty and sorry for his family, so he hanged himself?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ran with his eyes, but Zhao Ran asked, "Is there someone guarding Zhao Xiangli and Ah Da?"
"Of course there is, how can I not be more careful when this happens?"
"After Zhao Xiangli was stabbed, is he still safe?"
"Uncle Zhao is old and has been stabbed again, so he has been resting in the room. ”
Zhao Ran said: "Take a look." ”
----
Before they could go far, they heard someone shouting in front of them: "It's a fire, it's a fire, put out the fire!"
"Which side is on fire?" Zhao Zhongbo hurriedly asked the servant who was carrying water in front of him.
"Second master, the sedan courtyard is haunted, someone saw Xiuying, and then the sedan courtyard caught fire. ”
Before Zhao Ran's words were heard, he went straight to the front yard, the fire in the sedan courtyard was fierce, the tongue of fire reflected half of the sky, and almost all the people in the house were dispatched, carrying water, putting out the fire, and they were very busy.
As soon as Zhao Zhongbo saw the two black-faced nurses coming out of the sedan courtyard, he hurriedly ran to open Zhao Xiangli's door, and then said in a lost voice: "Zhao Xiangli, the others are gone!"
Zhao Ran entered the house and quickly touched the quilt and said, "It's still hot, ask if anyone saw Zhao Xiangli?"
Zhao Zhongbo roared at the door: "Has anyone seen Uncle Zhao at the door?"
"Nope. ”
"I didn't see it. ”
Yang Xueshi said: "There is a fire in the sedan courtyard, and there are many people who come out of the inner courtyard, if you go to the inner courtyard, you will definitely be seen." The only possible direction is that someone is holding Zhao Xiangli out of the gate, which is next to the gate, and when it is possible to go out, no one will pay attention. Since the quilt is hot, it may be the moment when the sedan yard caught fire just now, and he took advantage of the nursing yard to run to investigate the fire and left, so he had to chase it quickly. ”
Zhao Zhongbo wanted to take care of the fire fighting on the one hand, and chased Zhao Xiangli on the other, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, so he had to grab a lantern and chase him out with a nurse.
Yang Xueshi also chased after him, ran for a while, and suddenly stopped.
"Why did you stop!"
Zhao Ran said: "If it is hijacked to go out, Zhao Xiangli is injured again, we should catch up with it like this." ”
Yang Xueshi hurriedly said: "Could it be that he is walking in the direction of the ancestral hall, but it is a dead end!"
Zhaoran raised his head and suddenly realized: "We were fooled." ”
