40. Condolence (II)

"That's the sixth uncle in the clan, and the one who looks at him is the third uncle, and the two of them are the most eager, and they want to seek my Zhuangzi...... Seeing the money we sold in a quarter of an hour, we have no scruples. Huo Chongcheng took this opportunity to whisper in Zhao Heju's ear.

"Ignore them first, it's important to avenge the fourth uncle, you let the reliable Zhuang family keep an eye on the top and bottom, don't let people come in and out at will, this matter should not be alarmed too much, just the two of us." Zhao and Ju also said in a low voice: "Let a loyal little guy take me to see where the fourth uncle was killed, maybe find something else." ”

The two of them spoke in a low voice, because they were not very old, but they did not arouse suspicion, Huo Chongcheng called a small servant, and whispered two more words, and the little guy led Zhao and Ju and Zhao Zi to say, through the mourning hall, and returned to the courtyard.

Some of the close guests who want to eat the funeral feast here are wandering around in the front yard, because the back door is locked and there are loyal servants guarding it, so although some people are probing their brains, no one can enter. Seeing that the little guy led Zhao Heju and Zhao Zi in, someone wanted to follow up, but he was stopped, and the man was a little unconvinced: "Why can that little guy go in, but I can't go in?" I'm also a close relative, and I can't get into a place where outsiders can enter! ”

"That's the little master's order, if the honored guest wants to enter, he only needs to go to the little master's order."

The little guy who led Zhao and Ju was soft and thorny, and the guest was a little sneering. Although there is only one orphan left in the Huo family, there are many relatives in his family, and under the constraints of each other, it is difficult for anyone to start first.

The place where Huo Zuoyu was killed was in the backyard, in addition to the main house, the wings on the left and right, and a room with a dog in the corner. It's just that all the dogs in the house have been poisoned, and now it's empty, and there's nothing. The little guy pointed to a corner of the ground and said, "This is where the official of my family is lying." ”

Zhao Youju squatted down and carefully inspected the surroundings, although a layer of floating soil was covered, Zhao Youju still felt that there was a faint smell of blood. There was nothing to see in such a badly damaged scene, he shook his head, and got up again and walked to the backyard door. The door was locked, very thick, he patted it gently, and then asked the little servant, "That night, this door was locked?" ”

"Locked." The little guy nodded affirmatively, but he was extremely suspicious in his heart, he had been to Yuzhang Villa many times with Huo Chongcheng, and he also knew that this little master of Yuzhang Villa had some meaning, but his actions and words now were the same as those from the county.

Zhao and Ju circled the courtyard and stopped at a section of the fence that had been rammed with adobe and had not been plastered, so it looked a little dirty. Since the door was locked, the murderer must have climbed over the wall to enter, which he thought of, and presumably the county magistrate also thought of it.

"The thug climbed in through this section of wall." Sure enough, the little guy said beside him, "The messenger found blood here. ”

Zhao Youju bowed slightly, he also saw those blood stains, presumably from the sharp blade after the murderer killed Huo Zuoyu. These people climbed over the wall, poisoned the family dog, killed Huo Zuoyu, and went out over the wall, they were extremely agile.

"Zi said, carry me up." The others were short and short-handed, and they couldn't climb the wall, so they beckoned to Zhao Zi. Zhao Zi said that he lifted him up, and half of his head poked out from the wall, and found that there were several traces of being stepped on at the top of the wall.

"More than one person...... secretly calculated the number of traces, Zhao Yeju thought in his heart, this coincided with the fact that Huo Chongcheng learned that several people were inquiring about his family.

A group of people, after careful preparation, infiltrated Huo's house, killed Huo Zuoyu, and then fled immediately, but did not touch the money in Huo Zuoyu's bedroom......

Thinking of the dogs that were poisoned, Zhao and Ju gradually felt that they already knew what was happening at that time. It must have been those people who made a noise when they poisoned the dog, and Huo Zuoyu went out to inspect when he heard the sound, and was killed by them in the courtyard. They haven't had time to enter the house, otherwise how would they let go of the gold and silver in the house!

"Maybe ......" Zhao and Ju frowned together.

"Put me down." After a while, Zhao and Ju said to Zhao Zi.

Zhao Ziyue put him down, but saw his eyes shining, such a look Zhao Ziyue is not unfamiliar, when he has something to think about, it will be like this. Zhao Ziyue was overjoyed in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Does Da Lang know who the murderer is?" ”

"I don't know yet." Zhao Youju shook his head.

Zhao Heju asked the little guy to take him to Huo Zuoyu's bedroom to have a look, because he was instructed by Huo Chongcheng, the little guy acted according to his words, and walked around Huo Zuoyu's study, Zhao Heju shook his head, there was really no clue here.

He walked around the backyard a few times, and Huo Chongcheng in front of him finally found an opportunity and quietly ran to the backyard, and when he saw him, he asked, "Aju, what did you find?" ”

"Those murderers are veterans, they do it cleanly, and they don't leave any clues." Zhao Youju shook his head: "Chongcheng, have anyone seen those people who have inquired about your family's news in the past few days?" ”

"No, I didn't." Huo Chongcheng shook his head in disappointment.

"There is one thing......" Zhao Heju said: "Fourth Uncle Huo was in Lin'an some time ago, and he was not in Zhuangzi, but as soon as he returned to Zhuangzi, the murderer was found. If it weren't for their eyes and ears in the village, it would be that they saw Fourth Uncle Huo on the way, and you should ask the companion who came with Fourth Uncle Huo that day, and if you had encountered any suspicious characters on the road. ”

Huo Chongcheng only felt that his eyes lit up, it was the willow and the flowers, he commanded the little guy, and the little guy immediately ran out, and after a while, he came in with two villagers.

"Indeed, in the hotel at the three forks, we saw a group of people, but it didn't look like they were local." After listening to Huo Chongcheng's questioning, a companion said: "I went in with the big officials to buy donkey meat, so I saw it, but they didn't see it outside." ”

Huo Chongcheng gritted his teeth when he heard this, and was about to say something to Zhao Youju, but Zhao Youju winked at him and signaled him to be at ease. After sending the Zhuang guest away, Huo Chongcheng asked, "Ah Ju, what do you say I should do?" ”

"How's it going up ahead?" Zhao and Ju did not respond positively, but asked about the things in his clan: "Did the people in your clan fight?" ”

"Exactly, the third uncle and the sixth uncle are making a fuss in front of the mourning hall, saying who can move into Zhuangzi to take care of me......" Huo Chongcheng sneered: "I want them to take care of it?" I'm afraid that after a year and a half when they move in, I will fall ill and die, and all this belongings will be returned to them! Ah Ju, you don't know their faces when they talk about the gold and silver at home, that is, those errand soldiers, when they see my family's gold and silver, they are also in general mind! ”

"Chongcheng, you take a break from your anger first, and go to be perfunctory, just let it go, saying that the money worth tens of thousands of dollars in the family is all accumulated by the fourth uncle for many years, and now the fourth uncle Huo is unfortunately killed, you can't bear to use this money as a son, as long as anyone can find out the enemy who killed your father for you, then the money will go to whom!" Zhao Youju pursed his lips and said with sparkling eyes.
