Chapter 240: Pretending to be crazy and stupid makes no sense

The old gentleman of the Kang family thought that he was really angry, and he really believed that someone in the family wanted to assassinate this precious grandson, so he still gathered his family together for Li Mi's interrogation.

Li Mi's goal is also very clear, Kang Chunxia has been prodigal in the past, but he is the most filial piety, and on the day of family reunion like the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't dare to go out to fool around, and honestly stayed to eat family banquets.

Therefore, just circle the people who are related to Kang Chunxia's eating during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you can find the approximate range.

However, Lao Kang's family is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and there are hundreds of people in the huge mansion, but they are all red, green, and green when they come out, and they are quite yin and yang, no wonder Lao Taijun wants to sit in the center.

Kang Chunxia's father has died, and the eldest uncle Kang Zongji gave birth to a son and two daughters, it is said that once he had a fight with the girl in the house, so that the old lady broke it on the spot, and since then he has fallen into the root of infertility, and there are no more children, Kang Chunxia, the cousin, is an introvert and is more feminine and low-key.

In addition, Kang Chunxia also has a third uncle, Kang Zongtuo, who took more than a dozen concubines and tried his best to have children, but it is strange to say that most of the men in his family died young, and only eight daughters survived.

Two years earlier, the concubine of the third uncle's family also secretly hooked up with the male servant in the house, so that the third uncle killed two, and now the third uncle is old, but his lust has not changed, and he has made friends with monks all day long, alchemy and medicine, Hu Tian and Hu Emperor tossed around, the children have not been conceived, but the body and bones are getting thinner and thinner, languishing, and wearing two bags of overindulgent black circles all day long, and the slaves and maids in the house do not know how much disaster has been done.

Li Mi also finally understood why Kang Chunxia was so painful, after all, in the entire three generations of the Kang family, he was the only one who could handle it.

It is said that inheriting the family business is to pass on the ancestry, but I am afraid that it will also rely on him Kang Chunxia.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is a family banquet, so all the family members participated, Mrs. Kang called her family over, and all the slaves and maids who had touched the food that day were gathered together, and two of them were released to their hometowns after the expiration of their employment, and they were also chased back.

The eldest uncle Kang Zongji had a kind face, playing with a string of Bodhi seeds in his hand, reciting the scriptures silently in his mouth, his eyes slightly closed, and behind him was the cowering cousin Kang Chunyun, although the eldest aunt was old, but the maintenance was excellent, always with a trace of intriguing smile.

As for the third uncle's side, because there are too many wives and concubines, except for him and his wife, everyone else can only stand, and what is a little surprising is that he has a few Taoist monks around him, and these people are standing higher than the concubines.

It is impossible for Li Mi to interrogate these people in person, and it is only a meeting at the moment, Kang Laojun introduced Li Mi's identity, but did not clearly say Li Mi's intentions, but only said that Li Mi was invited to come over to see Kang Chunxia, and in order to pursue the root cause of the disease, it is necessary to interrogate some information, so that everyone must not hide it.

Old Taijun Kang obviously also understood Li Mi's intentions, if he came to investigate the Gu with great fanfare, he would inevitably startle the snake, it was better to use an excuse to find the root cause of the disease, these people were unprepared, so they would tell the truth.

After Mrs. Kang let these people disperse, Li Mixian gathered all the cooks of the day and asked them to testify to each other, but they didn't find that there was a situation of staying alone in the kitchen, after all, the mansion is huge, and the kitchen is also in full swing, and it is impossible to play Gu in the kitchen.

Li Mi called Suo Changsheng over again, he was a Gu master, if there were peers mixed in with the cook, he could see it at a glance.

It's a pity that there are not too many doubts about the cook and the slave, and Suo Changsheng gave Li Mi a suggestion.

"The Taoist and the great monk around the third old man Kang Zongtuo are a little weird, you can start with this and give it a try."

Li Mi also understands in his heart, these people refine Yang Dan and prepare Hu Seng Medicine for Kang Zongtuo, and they are proficient in pharmacology, if there is a Gu Master secretly, or it is not necessarily a Gu Master, but someone who knows the method of refining Gu, it is not necessarily.

Li Mi came to the third master Kang Zongtuo, but this third master is also a strange person, full of lust and evil, three sentences are not separated from women, and from time to time he will take out a small gourd and pour out some pills to eat as beans.

Li Mi asked him how much he knew about Kang Chunxia, and the third master said that when Kang Chunxia was twelve or thirteen years old, he still asked the maids around him to tease this chick and give his nephew buds and other meat words, anyway, in his opinion, this kind of thing is as normal as eating and drinking.

Li Mi was also embarrassed when he heard it, but he was used to it, but Xiong Tingbi couldn't listen to it, but it was not easy to leave, so he could only endure it.

Li Mi is well versed in the skills of interrogation and clichés, so he did what he liked, perfunctory a few words, and listened to him talk about these interesting things, which gradually led him to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

It can be seen that this Kang Zongtuo has no ill intentions towards his nephew, and even has a good private relationship with Kang Chunxia, and he has no elders to hang out, but likes to take Kang Chunxia around, Kang Chunxia has followed this uncle and maiden countless times at a young age, and it can be said that all the romantic skills are taught by this uncle.

As for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Kang Zongtuo didn't have much impression, because for him, he set up a banquet every day, eat, drink and have fun every day, and there was a small banquet in the first three days of the family, and a big invitation in five days.

Mrs. Kang had already explained in public that Li Mi and Suo Changsheng were invited to see Kang Chunxia, so Li Mi justifiably let Suo Changsheng come out and asked the Taoists and great monks around Kang Zongtuo, after all, they also have some research on pharmacology.

However, Suo Changsheng didn't see that there were Gu masters among them, although they were alchemy and dispensing medicines, they were masculine in their qi, and they should not be Gu cultivators.

What's more, Li Mi couldn't see Kang Zongtuo's motive for committing the crime.

Although Kang Chunxia is prodigal, there are many people who hate him, but the enemies are all outside, and the possibility of outsiders being tricked has been ruled out, so the motives of the insiders must be considered.

The third uncle, Kang Zongtuo, had no male heir, so he lost the qualification to inherit the main family business of the Kang family, although Kang Chunxia's father died early, but Kang Chunxia was healthy.

In the entire three generations, in addition to Kang Chunxia, only the son of the eldest uncle Kang Zongji remained, and his cousin Kang Chunyun had the qualifications of the successor and was Kang Chunxia's most powerful contender.

From this point of analysis, the suspicion of Dazong is definitely greater than that of Bizong, because there is no inheritance qualification on the side of Zongzong, and Dafang should be the successor, but Kang Chunyun is introverted and low-key, which makes Kang Chunxia steal the limelight everywhere, and Kang Taijun's attitude towards the two also explains everything.

In terms of motivation alone, it is better to investigate Kang Zongji's side first, and there are no clues to be found here, so Li Mi and Suo Changsheng came to the uncle's side.

The uncle's side is the ancestral house, the ancestral shrine is full of incense, and the uncle has set up a shrine at home, worshipping day and night, the whole courtyard is filled with a sandalwood smoke, and the breathing is a little stuffy.

"Such a trouble, it is said that Gu worms can't live, that is, everyone is suffocated to death......" Suo Changsheng was also full of complaints.

Most Gu masters can't see the light, they usually live in seclusion in barren mountains and mountains, and rarely walk on the streets of the city, let alone places where there is divine light and incense, it is normal for Suo Changsheng to complain like this.

At this time, he had already walked into the courtyard, and Li Mi asked Suo Changsheng to restrain himself, who could only mumble and complain.

Kang Zongji was worshipping the Buddha, and when he heard that Li Mi and others were coming, he hurriedly asked people to receive him, but almost all of the food in his yard was vegetarian, and everything was clear soup and little water, so it was no wonder that Kang Chunyun had yellow skin and thin muscles.

Kang Zongji didn't talk much, but his son Kang Chunyun didn't say a word, he just lowered his head, and was extremely shy, in Suo Changsheng's words, this Kang Chunyun is not as good as a girl!

His housewife's grandmother was talkative, but she always had an inexplicable smile on her face, which made Li Mi feel a little uneasy.

Although it is said to be the main mother, the eldest lady is fashionable and young when she marries Kang Zongji, and now she is only thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a plump body and a lazy temperament, quite a noble lady's temperament.

Kang Zongji and his son didn't have much to say, but the eldest lady did not shy away from suspicion, she was kind and pleasant to Li Mi and others, and answered all questions.

Li Mi also knocked on the side and asked about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but the eldest lady was alert and asked Li Mi.

"You miracle doctors are here to find the root cause of your nephew's illness, why do you want to ask about the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was all a few months ago, what does it have to do with his illness?"

Li Mi also replied with a smile: "Young Master Kang is a depressed disease, not a violent disease, to find the root of the disease, of course, you have to push forward." ”

The eldest lady didn't ask any more, but told all about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and the situation was probably not much different from what Kang Zongtuo and others said.

Li Mi couldn't ask why, but noticed that there was a hint of not being too serious in the eldest lady's smile, after all, Kang Zongji and Kang Chunyun were still present, and Li Mi couldn't stay for a long time, so he took Suo Changsheng Xiong Tingbi and walked out of the courtyard.

"What do you think?" Li Mi asked Suo Changsheng and Xiong Tingbi.

"None of the others asked, but this eldest lady asked why we wanted to investigate the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, which is inevitably a bit of a thief, I think this eldest lady or the big sect should be problematic......"

Xiong Tingbi is also a cautious person, but after pondering for a moment, he still expressed his opinion.

And Suo Changsheng also nodded and agreed: "That's right, and this eldest lady has strange eyes, always thinking about hooking up with others, this is a little wrong, besides, although she is only in her thirties, she is not young, but she looks too young, maybe she is taking some medicine to nourish her face and rejuvenate her appearance, although the incense is very hidden, I still smell the medicine." ”

What Suo Changsheng and Xiong Tingbi said seemed reasonable, but Li Mi shook his head and said to them, "Maybe we should take a look from another angle." ”

"The question that the eldest lady is worried about is not unreasonable, the three of us strangers came in to see Kang Chunxia and find out the cause, but when they asked about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, everyone would feel strange, but why only the eldest lady asked it, but the others were indifferent?"

"So in my opinion, the reaction of the eldest lady is normal, and the others are a little eager to cover up, and they are even more suspicious!"

What Li Mi said is not unreasonable, after Suo Changsheng and Xiong Tingbi thought about it carefully, they also felt that the eldest lady was more reasonable, as for the others, I am afraid that they are all pretending to be crazy and stupid!
