Chapter 26: Two Neighbors
"Good to die!"
As soon as the son surnamed Meng came, he said these three words in a very resentful tone, and everyone in the room was very curious.
Huang Xian Ling immediately asked, "Does Meng Gongzi know the five deceased?" β
"I don't know," Meng Gongzi's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "I don't know or delay, I hate them!" β
"Now that the five people are dead, the situation is unknown, please Meng Gongzi elaborate on the experience of interacting with these five people, if there is no interaction, please also ask Gongzi to think carefully, can there be any suspicious things worth noting, especially last night, did you hear a strange noise and see a living person?"
When Huang County's order reminded the Meng family prince to recall the direction, Shen Wansha tugged on Lu Li's sleeve and whispered in his ear who this Meng Gongzi was.
Shanyang County is slightly richer than Guan County, the jurisdiction is also large, and the big families in the county are relatively rich, and this Meng family is one of the leaders, not only rich, but also has a four-grade official in the family, which may be nothing in the powerful and powerful Beijing, but the small county here has a huge face, and no one dares to provoke it.
This Meng Gongzi, the grandson of the Meng family, is now seventeen years old, and should be a high-spirited character, but the fact is a bit regrettable.
The old man of the Meng family is a plan, seeing that his young son is incompetent, he chose a good daughter-in-law for him, not only the small and powerful family can be supported, this housewife is also very virtuous, as soon as she comes, she takes care of the family everywhere, and she has a body in less than half a year, and she is pregnant in October and gives birth to her eldest son, which is this Meng Qian.
But Meng Qian's father is not only incompetent, but his eyes are not good, he thinks that if he marries his daughter-in-law and gives birth to a son according to his father's wishes, he can come according to his own wishes in the future. I don't know where to find a distant cousin who can't be beaten by eight poles.,I was stunned and said that it was a childhood sweetheart.,The two love each other.,I have to live with someone.γ
The woman was poor, often walking the streets and alleys to sell flowers, or embroidery, her posture was upside down, saying that the things of her childhood should not be true, so that the king had a wife, she did not want to be a concubine, nor did she want to destroy the happiness of others, and she hid when she saw Meng Qian's father.
These people are involved, and they have their own wonderful stories, in short, the final result is that Meng Qian Shun and Shun lì Li grew up, and the woman also gave birth to several children. Meng Qian's mother has always been in poor health, she died more than a month ago, and before 100 days, Meng Qian's father married the cousin.
Meng Qian came to the temple to do the Seven Seven Dharma for his mother, and it was normal for him to be excited and angry.
Shen Wansha's words were light and fast, and the karma was clear, Lu Li blinked and covered his lips with his hand, "You bought it with silver again?" β
"What," Shen Wansha looked like he really looked down on your young master, and raised his eyebrows proudly, "This matter is spreading throughout Shanyang County, just listen to it, you can know it, how can you spend money!" β
I don't know it...... Lu Li gave Shen Wansha a thumbs up, "The young master is really capable, continue in the future!" β
He felt that Shen Wansha was really talented!
Zhao Shu heard the words of the two of them word for word, he didn't speak, only reached out and pinched Lu Li's wrist, signaling him to listen to others.
Meng Qianzheng frowned and recalled, "I came to the temple to make seven or seven for my mother, and I came here six days ago, and these five people came out of nowhere, and they were able to live next door to me." I don't mind living next door, but I do mind living next door! These people don't do their business all day long, they nest in the room during the day, they don't know where to find wine and meat, they don't avoid eating and drinking, and the masters in the temple remind them that they don't listen to them once; In the spirit of the night, he was like a night owl, jumping back and forth, trying to catch the nighthawk and catch the wolf, and he was busy like something. β
"If that's all, I can bear it, but they shouldn't be rude to my maid! Those five are lustful disciples, with vulgar and obscene language, and delusional to do something, to be honest, I almost can't help it, if they dare to provoke again, if others don't kill them, I will kill them too! β
Huang Xianling asked, "Did the son hear any unusual movement last night?" β
"The Qiqi Dojo is about to be finished, yesterday was the most critical day, I was in the main hall all night and didn't go back, we don't know what happened next door, let alone hear the sound."
After Meng Qian finished speaking, Lu Li understood that the five people who died were uninvited guests to the temple, and to the neighbors, they were people with bad personalities who did not want to be with them, and they were characters who hated cats and dogs.
In this way, it seems that everyone can have a motive, but the dissatisfaction xΓΉ accumulates to kill, and one kill is five......
He thought silently, his eyes unexpectedly fell outside the door, and he saw Meng Qian's long entourage.
This long ensuage accompanied Meng Qian, tall and with a stern expression, he didn't come in after sending Meng Qian to the door, but stood outside the door and seemed relaxed, but actually observed the surroundings vigilantly.
I didn't pay attention at first, but Lu Li took a closer look and found that there seemed to be something on his waist......
He gently tugged at Zhao Zhu's sleeve, "That person's waist is ...... Is it a soft sword? β
Zhao Shu glanced at it, and his gaze stopped on Bai Shengsheng's hand pulling his sleeve, "Yes." β
"Then he knows martial arts......" Lu Li withdrew his hand and touched his chin to think.
Zhao Shu followed the hand and saw a smooth and fair-skinned chin with a beautiful shape, "It should be." β
Lu Li felt the need to ask, but before he could speak, Wang Dexing, who was sitting on the right side of the Huangxian Order, spoke, "I watched Meng Gongzi follow the martial arts, my lord, why don't you invite him in to reply?" β
Huang Xianling was surprised, "Oh? β
Wang Dexing shook his head slightly, "The five deceased all have martial arts, even if they are poisoned, subdued, beaten and killed one by one, the murderer must have enough body and force to match." Nowadays, the clues are limited, in order to avoid wronging the innocent, but if there is any doubt, you should ask a question. β
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Li, his eyes slightly smug.
Unlike Lu Li, where all his attention is on solving the case, his attention is on Lu Li. Peers are light, he doesn't like to be suppressed by a hairy boy, since he asks the case together, he has to do his best to suppress this child.
He thought that he was not enough to push the case, so he kept paying attention to Lu Li, seeing that Lu Li paid attention to Changsui, he also looked over, and soon saw the soft sword on Changsui's waist, so he took the first step to propose, so that this little child would have no chance to show XiΓ n.
Lu Li doesn't care, the case is solved, not fought for, as long as the clues are moving forward, he doesn't care about Wang Dexing's intentional or unintentional provocations, and besides, this old man is in his fifties, and it's nothing to give people some face.
Meng Qian's long-term retinue Yu Shi is indeed full of martial arts, since he followed Meng Qian, he has been inseparable from Meng Qian, and what he saw and heard was the same as Meng Qian, even last night, he was also in the main hall with Meng Qian, and he could not provide more clues about the death of the five people.
Wang Dexing was unhappy, "You can martial arts around here, and your young master has a gap with five people, maybe you are not angry for a while, and you are a killer!" β
Yu Shi stepped forward dissatisfiedly, his lowered eyebrows full of gloom.
Meng Qian stretched out his hand to block in front of him, and looked at Wang Dexing coldly, "There must be evidence to speak, there is no basis for empty words, and when I come up, I will point out that I am a murderer, a king, and maliciously climbing is also a crime!" β
Wang Dexing was stunned, and his eyes unexpectedly fell on Lu Li, who was playing with Shen Wansha with small movements, laughing together......
For a while, sweat climbed up the corners of the forehead and was fooled! He's been tricked! This kid deliberately recruited him like this!
Zheng glared at Lu Li viciously, and Zhao Shu beside him threw a cold look, and his frightened body immediately softened.
Huang Xianling sighed and made amends for him, "Don't be angry with Meng Gongzi, when you encounter such a big case, the people in the yali are under a lot of pressure, and it is inevitable that you will say the wrong thing when you are excited, and please ask Master Meng Gongzi not to care about the villain." Later, there may be something to ask the son to help, especially the maid in the child's house, and the official will also ask questions...... Please Meng Gongzi must cooperate with the investigation regardless of previous suspicions. β
Meng Qian flicked his sleeves, "My lord's words are serious, if there is a life case here, if we can help, we will definitely do our best, but this random thing can't happen." β
"Exactly, Childe, please ......"
After Meng Qian left, Huang Xianling smiled and nodded at Wang Dexing, "You, you, the older you get, the more you can't sink, that is, people are suspicious, and it is not easy to point it out when there is no evidence!" β
Wang Dexing's old face blushed, "The little old man is not talented, and he has caused trouble for adults." β
"Just pay attention." Huang Xian Ling got up and called Lu Li, "The rest are female dependents, and it is inconvenient to move around in the temple because of the murder, so let's just go over in person." β
Lu Li had no opinion, "Okay." β
The group walked to the incense courtyard.
Because of the murder, first, to protect the scene, secondly, people will always feel uncomfortable, Meng Qian and Mrs. Huang Xianling have changed the yard, and there is a distance from the scene of the murder.
The group followed Huang County's order to his wife. Because someone sent someone to pass the word, Mrs. Huang sat in the main hall early and waited, and when she saw them arriving, she stood up and saluted.
When Lu Li entered the door, he saw that there were acquaintances!
Turning his head to look at Shen Wansha, Shen Wansha also squeezed his eyebrows with him, obviously remembering.
The acquaintance remembered them even more, the room was quiet, and before Huang Xianling could speak, she spoke first, "It's you!" β
Shen Wansha smiled and bowed his hand, "Isn't this Qin girl, how can you be interested in coming to the temple to play, what do you want to buy this time?" β
Lu Li smiled secretly.
That's right, the girl who spoke was Qin Lurou, who had a relationship in Guan County.
The last time they met, Qin Lurou and Liu Wenli were together and were pouted by Liu Wenli to slap Lu Li and Shen Wansha in the face, and arrogantly wanted to wrap the things on the stall, but they were slapped in the face by the local tyrant Shen Wansha, and they directly bought a jewelry shop!
I heard that the Qin family has a small influence in Guan County, relying on the fact that her sister is the wife of the princess of the neighboring county, Qin Lurou is very good in the circle, looking at the posture in front of her, and then thinking of the previous Huang County Order, could it be that Qin Lvrou's sister is the wife of the Huang County Order? Qin Lurou came to accompany her sister to incense?
Lu Li's gaze turned to the woman who spoke before.
The woman looks very young, estimated to be less than thirty years old, with a slender figure, gorgeous clothes, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, very beautiful, a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, and her temperament is even more lovable.
Even the voice was soft, "Green Rou, don't be rude." β
Shen Wansha quietly wrote on Lu Li's hand: This is a continuation.
Lu Li felt that it was very likely that the age difference between the two was too much.
Qin Lurou's mouth was slightly flattened, and her eyes were flushed with tide, "Sister......"
"The husband's matter is important," Mrs. Huang glanced at Huang County Order softly, and blessed the strange pedestrians behind him, "The concubine is polite." β
The crowd sideways to avoid it.
Huang Xianling held her arm and asked her to sit, "You are too strict, Lu Rou is still young, you can teach her as a sister." β
Madam Huang smiled slightly, and a pear vortex came out of the corner of her lips, "The concubine knows." β
She glanced at Qin Lurou, signaled her not to make trouble, and pulled her to sit beside her, "My husband brought someone here, but I want to formally write a confession?" The concubine and her sister are ready, and they will repay themselves. β
Huang Xian Ling looked at Lu Li, Lu Li nodded, and he motioned to his subordinates to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone records, "Let's start." β
Mrs. Huang looked quiet and spoke slowly, "The concubine and her sister went to Ciguang Temple to worship the Buddha a few days ago, and lived in the second incense courtyard in the northeast corner. Five people died...... The concubine body has not seen it, but occasionally the sound next door is noisy and a little noisy, but it is only a little noisy, and the concubine is the most calm when she copies the scriptures and picks up Buddha rice, and she does not pay too much attention. The concubine and her sister also slept very early last night, and they didn't hear any unusual movements. Madam Huang finished speaking slowly, pointing at Qin Lurou, "This sister of the concubine has met those five people once, and she has suffered some grievances...... Lu Rou, tell everyone about it. β
"Just the day before yesterday, when I came back from an evening class with my sister, I suddenly remembered that a handkerchief had fallen outside, and I didn't want to trouble my sister, so I asked the maid to follow me to get it, and I didn't want to meet those five disciples. They spoke rudely and very rudely, I was so angry that I scolded them a few words, they were tall and big, and it was scary to gather around together, so I ...... I ran away...... After that, I was scared to go out and never saw them again......"
"What about last night? Did you hear any movement? β
Qin Lurou was a little uneasy, glanced at her sister, Mrs. Huang nodded slightly, and patted his hand, "Don't be afraid, your brother-in-law is here." β
Qin Lurou bit her lip, "I drank more soup last night, and I slept early with my sister, so I got up all night...... Once. I didn't light the light for fear of disturbing my sister, and I saw through the crack in the door that someone seemed to be passing by. β
"What hour, what kind of person?" Lu Li asked.
"I don't remember the hour...... I didn't look at it, the figure was blurry, I only saw shoes, monk's shoes. β
Wang Dexing immediately stood up, "I know, the murderer is Hongran!" β
He looked excited, "Many times, the first person to find the body is the murderer himself, and the person must have killed Hongran!" He is a monk, wearing monk's shoes, killing the people in the courtyard, closing the courtyard gate, and no one paying attention to it inside, he has a lot of time to deal with it slowly, but the corpse in the field must be as good as possible, otherwise there is a danger of being discovered, so he rushed there early in the morning! βγ
