It is said that Jia Cong confessed to the silver taels stolen by the thief Zoro, and Li Wen asked: "According to Young Master Gao, is this matter of the Pan family the work of the thief or is there another mystery?" ”

Jia Cong naturally looked forward to the more circuitous his mind was, so he thought about it for a while, and pretended to be deep: "I guess this matter is a coincidence or not. ”

Li Wen hurriedly asked what kind of coincidence.

Jia Congyin paced in the room for a moment and said, "Old Man Pan has hidden silver taels in the secret compartment, and his wife knows quite well without a key. And his sixth aunt also knew, "So I thought that this matter was not a great secret in their family." There are many people, and since it is not a secret, others know it. The dark compartment was pried open only today, so it can be seen that when the silver taels were taken, they were opened with a key. Now, I can't tell if the silver taels were taken from last night or earlier. For example, the day before yesterday, the day before the big day, or even earlier. ”

Li Wendao: "If it had been taken earlier, how could Old Man Pan not come to report the case?" ”

Jia Cong said: "That Zuo Daxia's character is a pavilion body, and I am afraid that there is no clue from the handwriting, which shows that this person is quite meticulous." Stuffing the money into my car, I got smarter. My family will not be rare for a thousand silver taels, and if the Pan family wants to search the whole county, they will not dare to check my family's car. And the two big men mentioned by the sixth aunt," he shook his head, "I can't imagine such a delicate and interesting Zuo hero. I'm afraid they're killers and slaves. In addition, the dark compartment of a large amount of silver ingots in ordinary large households is opened once a month at most. Therefore, I guess that Zuo Daxia has already taken the silver taels, but he may not know how to return it to the villagers. Yesterday many of our chariots and horses came to the yamen, and alarmed him, and it happened that we had been pondering the tax all night, and had been discussing how to refund the tax. Or he found out that Old Man Pan had been killed, and even saw the killer, so he hurriedly hid the silver in the county office. This is no coincidence. ”

Li Wen's eyes widened as if he was commenting on him, and he asked for a long time: "Then how did Old Man Pan die?" ”

Jia Cong said: "This is a coincidence. But it happened that someone came to look for him last night, or to seek revenge, or he knew something that he shouldn't know, which made people lose their mouths. My lord thought, since he killed him, why did he keep the sixth aunt? Also, those who can silently climb into the courtyard wall of other people's houses to kill people, their skills are obviously not low, why did they only take more than 100 taels of silver? Bao Buqi deliberately took it away in order to cover up their true purpose of killing Old Man Pan. Whether we come or not, they will all go to Pan's house last night. ”

Li Wen thought about it, as if it made sense, and nodded again and again.

Jia Cong smiled again: "I'm young and haven't seen much of the world, but I'm just suspicious." It is not known that one of the two big men is Zuo Daxia. ”

Everyone is curious. An ordinary story and an unusual story, most listeners hope that the story is the unusual one. Li Wen was quite respectful of Young Master Gao from those three forms, and this son naturally believed in his previous speculation more. Therefore, he thought he had a good heart and looked at Jia Cong with a smile, and said, "Let's just wait for it." He asked Jia Cong when they were leaving.

Jia Cong said: "I was quite tired from last night to today, so I will rest more." I also want to know how Old Man Pan died. ”

Li Wen naturally wished that he would come to support him, and he flattered him again and again.

That night, the Pan family quietly sent someone over to invite Li Wen to the banquet, Li Wen knew that he couldn't afford to provoke them, so he reported to Young Master Gao and packed up his clothes.

When he arrived at Pan's house, he didn't see the uncle and second master of the Pan family, but Pan Sanye was dressed in filial piety clothes to entertain him in a small hall and set up a vegetarian banquet. I thought he would cry, but I didn't want Pan Sanye to persuade him to eat vegetables. After Li Wen hugged Pan Sanye, he asked: "My lord, I just want to ask, what is the origin of that young master Gao." ”

Li Wendeng got up and said with a smile: "Didn't he say it himself?" Taller's nephew. ”

Pan Sanye asked again: "What is the name of this Young Master Gao?" ”

Li Wen shook his head: "I have never been named." ”

Pan Sanye said: "Since you have never known your name, Lord Li believes it?" ”

Li Wen shook his head: "He has a letter from Master Gao." ”

Pan Sanye rolled his eyes and sneered: "Master Li, he is passing by after all, and he will leave if he can't protect Qi Ming'er." My father's death is unknown, and there are so many silver taels that are missing out of thin air, so my family will naturally not just forget it. ”

Li Wen was excited, yes, he couldn't afford to provoke their family, so he said in a low voice: "Young Master Gao and I have pondered this matter. ”

Pan Sanye hurriedly asked, "What can you figure out?" ”

Li Wen deleted Jia Cong's nonsense from Zorro and the silver taels in the carriage, and added some of his own thoughts, and talked to him for a long time, which frightened Pan Sanye. "He said that my father's death was a mouthful?"

Li Wen nodded: "According to what Young Master Gao said, the silver has been taken away a long time ago, but Ling Zun has not opened the secret grid and has not found it in recent days." This is pure coincidence. And those two pretending to be thieves, I am afraid that the evil slaves or hired killers of their private families cannot be related to the internal affairs of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion or the dispute between the palace and the palace, and it is not known~~"

When he said it so mysteriously, Pan Sanye actually believed it for seven or eight points, and he couldn't help but turn over the river and the sea in his heart.

Li Wen said again: "Young Master Zhou was going to leave today, but when he saw Ling Zun's incident, he refused to leave, and wanted to stay and see what was going on." ”

Pan Sanye's face suddenly turned cold: "Since he is the noble nephew of the tall family, I believe that he can't look down on our family's little silver." It's just that my father's death may not have nothing to do with him, and the people under him did it. How can it be so coincidental? When he came, my father died? ”

Li Wen waved his hand: "If his family moves, why don't he leave quickly so that he can leave this place of right and wrong?" In today's battle, if he wants to leave, do you and I dare to stop him? ”

Pan Sanye also listened to the reason, thought about it again, and thought: If it was really Young Master Gao's doing, why did he come to this county to stay overnight with such dazzling fanfare? Now that there is a master in his hands, it is safe to sneak in and kill someone and leave, I don't think it was his family who did it. He still refuses to leave like this, could it be that the old man knows a lot of things, and he wants to find out? So he hurriedly found an excuse to call someone to send Li Wen out, turned around and ran to find Mrs. Pan, and even said, "It's not good." ”

Jia Cong's words were originally marginal. It's a pity that most of the rumors in the world are like this, the first one is just speculation with or without intention, the second is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and affirms it, and the third one makes up many details and becomes more and more certain. Therefore, when it reached Mrs. Pan's ears, she thought that "Young Master Gao knows a lot of secrets in the capital, and guessed from the clues that the master must be killed because he knows something that he shouldn't know." She took her son by the hand and said, "What do you know?" ”

Pan Sanye shook his head: "I don't know anything." ”

Mrs. Pan even said, "Good, good! Call your brothers. ”

Pan Sanye ran to invite his two elder brothers, and Mrs. Pan thought about the matter in her mind again, and found out a lot of strange things in the past, or a sentence from Old Man Pan, or a seemingly ordinary item, and pondered the matter more and more certainly. When the three sons came, she said with a little horror: "The third party only heard from the mouth of Li County's order, your father was killed because he knew the secret in the palace. Seeing that her sons were all looking at each other, she carefully enriched Pan Sanye's words and connected many strange things that she had just remembered in one place, and finally ruled out the internal affairs of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, leaving only the battle between the palace and the palace.

Uncle Pan has never been very serious, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and only asked for a long time: "Mother, how are we doing?" ”

Mrs. Pan leaned out with her hands on the armrests of the chair and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you know?" ”

Uncle Pan and Second Master Pan shook their heads again and again: "My son doesn't know anything!" I don't know! Fang Cai was shocked! ”

"That's good!" Mrs. Pan stroked her chest, "Hengzhu, you Lao Tzu has gone, we don't know anything, it's okay to come." In the future, be careful in your dealings with the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, don't inquire about Xie Guiren, we are just ordinary relatives of the Xie family. ”

Uncle Pan hurriedly said: "What Mrs. said is very true, no matter how much you are favored, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Mrs. Pan nodded and said, "The sixth aunt can't stay, let her be buried." ”

Pan Sanye was stunned and asked, "What does it have to do with her?" ”

Mrs. Pan said calmly: "Although she was knocked unconscious, what if people regret it afterwards, I'm afraid she heard something and became suspicious again?" ”

For a while, Pan Sanye was a little unbearable on his face.

Mrs. Pan also said, "If you only suspect that she pretends to be unconscious, she hears it, and if she suspects that she hears it, she will tell others if she is awake......

The corners of Pan Sanye's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "What my mother said is very true!" Why don't I go and end her up. ”

Mrs. Pan said indifferently: "Go quickly!" ”

Pan Sanye immediately trotted out.

As soon as he went out on his front foot, Uncle Pan snorted: "The third child hooked up with the sixth aunt, and only the old man didn't know about it in this house." ”

Mrs. Pan waved her hand and said, "The third child is just interacting with her to set some old man's business, and she doesn't really think she is something." That old thing doesn't wait to see us, and the four of us are not a day or two. ”

Uncle Pan didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth moved a few times sarcastically.

For a while, Pan Sanye arrived in front of the sixth aunt's house and pushed the door straight in. Seeing that the sixth aunt was sitting alone in front of the dresser and combing her hair, although she did not apply fat powder, Juanjuan was quietly quite moving, so she stepped forward and supported her shoulder from behind: "Was you scared last night?" ”

The sixth aunt turned around and looked up at him, and said angrily: "But it scared me to death!" He threw away the comb and buried his head in his hand.

Pan Sanye sighed: "In this life, I can only bear you." ”

The sixth aunt was still in reverie, and was about to speak, when her neck suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly glanced down, only to see that Pan Sanye's hands were tightly stuck on her neck. He raised his eyes again, his face showed a fierce light, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Don't blame me, I'm afraid that the thief last night was not an ordinary bandit, but a nobleman sent by the head of the capital to kill him." In case the nobleman suspects that you haven't fainted, and you can't hear something you shouldn't have heard, our family can't afford it. ”

The sixth aunt was full of astonishment, and suddenly laughed and laughed, but she couldn't say a word, as if she was sad and happy. After a while, her body went limp. Pan Sanye tried her snort, and she was already dead of anger.

Pan Sanye stood beside the corpse and looked at her quietly for a long time, gritted his teeth, took a quilt from the kang and tore open the quilt, wrapped it around the neck of the sixth aunt, and was busy in the house for a long time, making it look like she was hanging herself. Finally, he looked up at the corpse hanging in the air, sighed, made a gesture, and closed the door.

The next morning, a servant surnamed Wang came from Linxian, and Li Wen immediately went with him to Pan's house to inspect the body of Old Man Pan, and Uncle Pan accompanied him. Wang Qizuo only glanced at it a few times, and suddenly a girl ran over in a panic and said, "Uncle, it's not good!" The sixth aunt committed suicide by hanging the beam! ”

Li Wendeng jumped up, grabbed the little girl and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The little girl trembled and didn't dare to speak.

Uncle Pan sighed beside him: "The sixth aunt cried like a tearful person yesterday, and she kept thinking that she was going to accompany my father, and she didn't want her to be so strong, and she was really martyred." Nai instructed, "Good life to place the corpse of the sixth aunt." ”

At one point, a mother-in-law came over and saluted them: "Mrs. said, the sixth aunt is loyal to the master, I really never thought of her such temperament, and Mrs. also admires it." I have given her a good dress, so let her be in the same hole with the master. ”

Li Wen was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. But the king said, "Wait." Since Aunt Six is an important witness in this case, it is a little strange that she will die, and I have to go and see it. ”

Uncle Pan said: "She has said many times yesterday that she will be martyred. ”

Wang said: "These have nothing to do with me. Nai stared at Li Wen.

Looking at the appearance of the Pan family, Li Wen already guessed in his heart that they had killed the mouth of the sixth aunt for some reason, but if he didn't let Wang Chengzuo go to see it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to borrow him next time, so he said: "The sixth aunt is really honest, but she is the most important thing in this case, but this time she died!" It's better to let Mr. Saku take a look. ”

Uncle Pan snorted: "That's it, it's just an aunt, just look at it." He thought that the third child was reliable and must have done it cleanly, so he randomly ordered a boy to lead them inside to examine the body of the sixth aunt.

The king went inside and carefully inspected it for a long time, then came out to look at the corpse of Old Man Pan, and said to Li Wen: "Master Li, how about going back to the yamen first?" ”

Uncle Pan chased after him and asked, "What can be found?" ”

Wang Cheng said: "I haven't finished reading it yet, I'll look back and see it." And he said no more.

At this time, Pan Sanye had already come over, accompanied Li Wen and Wang Cheng to go out, and talked for a long time. It's a pity that the king didn't say a word. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
