Chapter 498: Where are the ghosts in this world?

After dinner, Philip learned that although Yuan Niangzi had a daughter, she was married and not good at cooking, so she waved her hand home with a desperate expression for the whole world. The background is quite sparse, and people can't help but want to introduce him to a gentle and lovely girl who makes good dishes, but where to find such a good girl.

Of the girls Meng Yue knew, none of them were pampered, and none of them were particularly interested in cooking, but most of them were very fond of food. In other words, it's okay to have common hobbies, but I don't know if Philip thinks the same way.

Speaking of which, Philip and his grandfather are really like grandchildren, one unilaterally proclaiming that Philip is the king of Spain, and the other unilaterally declaring that I will no longer be the king. Meng Yue complained because he remembered that Philip was a king anyway, and he really couldn't just find a girl to introduce him to, in case Philip was finally arrested and returned to be the king, the queen would have to bear a lot of responsibility.

While peeling a pomegranate for Ah Yan, King Zheng said to Meng You: "Whether it is the Bourbon family or the Habsburgs, there are many strange things, and if they talk about the messy things of their family, they will be able to write several thrilling dramas with ups and downs." Their royal family has no discipline and ethics at all, and their strategies are quite rough. ”

Meng Yue is also eating pomegranates, unlike Ah Yan, she eats pomegranates and spit out the seeds, so she swallows the seeds, Ah Yan was surprised: "Sir, are the seeds delicious?"

"It's not unpleasant, but because you don't have to spit out the seeds, it's easier to eat and it feels better. In the past, Meng Yo didn't like to eat pomegranates, but it was only later that she said that seeds could be eaten, so she put pomegranates back on the menu.

Ah Yan tried it, and felt that the pomegranate seeds did not affect the taste very much, basically there was no taste, and there was a slight fragrance of the seeds after chewing and swallowing: "Hey, it is more delicious to eat like this." ”

King Zheng: I'm going to talk about the Bourbons and the Habsburgs, aren't you going to listen to it, and this topic is just distorted?

Yes, it's crooked.

After the meal, the four children were settled to sleep, Master Meng coaxed sugar candy, Wang Li was not a father-in-law, so he could only take Meng Yue's hand and go to the garden. Ah Yan is pregnant and easily sleepy, so King Zheng naturally has to sleep with him.

The garden of the Soil Lake Garden is followed by the lotus pond, where the lotus flowers are in full bloom and are covered with a thin layer of moonlight. Some people are rowing on it, maybe they are admiring the moon, or they are enjoying the flowers, or they may be having a tryst with their sweetheart. The light clouds in the sky are faint, and the bright moon enters and exits, and the figures of the two leaning against each other are faintly painted on the stone slab.

Meng Yue stopped, stared, and went back to the house with Wang Li to wash and sleep with a heart full of sweetness.

In the early morning of the next day, before the sun rose, Wang Li was woken up by the servant woman: "Envoy, the legal department has come to the messenger, saying that there was a big case last night, please ask the envoy to wash up quickly and go to the place where the crime occurred." ”

When Wang Li heard this, she gently moved Meng Yue, who was half pressing her, covered the quilt tightly, and quickly washed and changed into official clothes: "Every year, there is something in the yamen, I need to go out in advance, if I don't come back in advance at noon, you don't have to wait for me to eat." ”

Meng Yue opened his eyes in a daze, muttered in agreement, propped up the upper half of his body, and retracted back into the quilt: "Senior brother, please pay attention to safety." ”

"Good. ”

Meng Yue got up and finished breakfast, and then remembered to ask King Zheng: "Do you know what happened last night, why was my senior brother called away early in the morning." ”

King Zheng now takes Ah Yan as the most important thing in everything, how can he have the leisure to listen to the gossip outside, and the guards who came with him know something, but if it is not important and has nothing to do with him, he will not bring it to him and say: "I don't know, Wang Chongya is the envoy, and the case that can let him go out in person early in the morning must be small." Wait a while, send a few small ones to school later, and you will definitely be able to inquire on the way. ”

Several children were sent by Meng Yue and Master Meng, on the way back, Meng Yue inquired slightly, but heard a message that made her wonder if she was wearing the wrong classification again, well, why do you say it again?

"Killed by ghosts?" Even if she crossed, Meng Yue insisted on the scientific concept of development, and told her that ghosts can kill people, but she would never believe it.

"I think it's a joke, right, but it's not a joke, last night's incident, not one or two saw it, it was seen by dozens of people present. ”

Meng Yue: "Impossible, where is the ghost in this world?" ”

Under the influence of Taizu, the mainstream concept of ghosts and gods has always been regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance, and it will not be viewed from the perspective of supernatural and fantasy. Therefore, when Meng Yue said this, no one refuted it at all, but some people nodded in agreement.

"However, the person died under everyone's nose for no reason, with a new fresh bloody handprint on his neck, and I can't think of any explanation other than the ghost killing. ”

Meng Yue: "Pinched it first?"

"Who pinched it, why did it pinch it, how can the strangled one still jump for half an hour and then fall. ”

Who knows how to explain this, Meng Yue looked at Master Meng, and Master Meng also shook his head: "There are always some things in the world that cannot be explained by science and reason." ”

Meng Yue decided to wait for Wang Liyin to come and ask again, but when he thought that Wang Li would have to talk about official business when he came back, it was really sadistic, so he sent someone to the Department of Justice to ask the officials for news. The clerk didn't know very well, but the clerk of the Law Division obviously knew more than the passerby.

"Last night, there was a birthday banquet in the north of the city, and at noon it was the relatives of the banquet, and all the friends who came in the evening were Guo Jialang's friends, who knew that there would be a small half of the people who would give their lives to other people's birthday banquets. The official of the Department of Justice said that when they passed, the garden where the birthday banquet was held was covered with blood and stumps. ”

These are not what Meng Yue wants to hear, what Meng Yue wants to hear is whether this case has anything to do with gods and ghosts, otherwise, she will really have to roll up her sleeves and manually classify the works of "Three Jiao".

Wang Li was busy all day, and didn't come back until late at night, and after coming back, he washed up, and hugged Meng Yue to sleep but always couldn't sleep, Meng Yue looked at Wang Li by candlelight: "Senior brother, can't you sleep, are you still thinking about the case during the day?"

"yes, go to bed early every year, and leave me alone. Wang Li said, lifted a little quilt and got in, and only said after a while, "More than a dozen people died, none of the interrogations could be used, they drank too much wine last night, many people can't remember what happened after getting drunk, they can vaguely remember a little, and the answer is also confusing." ”

Meng Yue: That's why I drank and made a mistake, I think she was ...... back then. Ahem.

Wang Li rubbed Meng Yue, thinking that she was scared, took Meng Yue into his arms, patted her on the back, and asked her not to be afraid to go to bed early.

Meng Yue agreed, and put his hand above Wang Li's eyes: "It's been a day, senior brother also hurry up to sleep, and I have to continue to investigate the case tomorrow." ”

Wang Li: Every year, I don't feel sleepy when you say this.

Mengyo: Then let's do something else!
