Chapter 415: Such a Loyal Minion
When Xiaonuo heard this, he hurriedly walked to Xiao Cui's side and raised Xiao Cui's hand to take a look, and was stunned, it turned out that Xiao Cui's hands were all calloused, covered with any point and joint on his hands, even on his fingers, which was very ugly, and people couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Xiaonuo: "She is not a rough maid, generally speaking, the maid who takes care of the master is the most leisurely, how about her hands..."
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "I think the reason why she is invincible and invincible in the casino is probably inseparable from her hard work in peacetime, what do you say, Miss Xiaocui." ”
Cui didn't speak, but lowered her head.
Meng Tianchu: "I think Xiaocui should be very good at gambling, and almost obsessed, most people get the benefits of the owner, they will send it home or save it themselves, but Xiaocui will not, Xiaocui should all be put in the casino." ”
Xiaonuo: "Brother Meng, if you keep talking, I seem to understand what is going on." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Let's make an assumption first, Wan Niang accidentally learned that Feng'er was going to harm herself, so she pushed the boat down the river to make a plan, and she also told her man that Feng'er wanted to harm herself, but Zhao Lian didn't believe it, in desperation, she only relied on herself, her purpose was to die by herself, but she couldn't let Feng'er succeed, she wanted Feng'er to be her scapegoat." So, she learned that Xiaocui likes to gamble, and she happens to be a housekeeper, and it is easy to deduct some loose silver in her hand, so Xiaocui will soon be loyal to this generous master, and then, her plan began, she deliberately chose her death date on the third day after quarreling with Feng'er, because everyone in the Zhao family knows that they are not compatible, and Feng'er has always been pampered and arrogant, domineering, in the eyes of the maid and the subordinates. The late lady is easy-going and kind, so everyone will unanimously think that it was the late lady killed by Feng'er, including us who made her misled like this. ”
Xiaonuo: "Then why did she ask Xiaocui to dig out her heart and put it in the salt jar, isn't it even more unclear to put it in Feng'er's own room?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "It's such an obvious thing. She probably thought about it too. First, it was not good for Xiaocui to start, because Feng'er was unwell and stayed in the room for the past few days. Second, it is easy to make people suspicious, thieves know that stolen things are generally not taken at home, but placed elsewhere, and Wanniang naturally took it into account, so a buckle on Feng'er's clothes and the bowl of herbs she deliberately did not drink are enough to make Feng'er speechless. ”
After listening to it, it suddenly dawned on everyone. No one expected that it was Wanniang who planned this murder case. In this way, Feng'er was also confessed by Wanniang, who said that dead people can't speak, it should be said that dead people don't know how to speak, but they can't tell lies.
Xiaonuo walked up to Xiaocui and said, "Is it really you digging out the heart of your late mother?" ”
Xiao Cui has completely lost confidence at this time. She nodded feebly. said: "It's me, it's me who dug out the third lady's heart." ”
Xiaonuo: "She's so good to you. How can you bear to do it? ”
Xiao Cui said coldly: "The third lady said, she has been observing me for a long time, she is worried that other maids are afraid that they can't do it, but she knows that I won't, she said that I am very calm, she has been to the casino with me, she gave me silver flowers, she said that I can calmly lose money and win money among the men in the pile, she knows that I can help her get rid of the harmful fifth lady." ”
What a thoughtful woman, it seems that she has been planning for a long time.
Meng Tianchu: "How much money did she give you to do this?" ”
Xiaocui: "Her life savings, three hundred taels." ”
Everyone is still a little surprised, it seems that this late lady has a lot of money in her private house.
Xiaonuo: "Then you agreed?" Why don't you persuade her to stop, maybe she still has a chance to survive after stopping? ”
Xiao Cui sneered: "It's not good for us to talk about the master's affairs. ”
Xiao Nuo said indignantly: "You are foolish! ”
Xiao Cui looked at Xiao Nuo blankly, and said: "I don't know what you say is stupid and loyal, but the third lady is such a smart person, I don't think she will be impulsive, besides, when she dies, that Feng'er gives birth to a son, and she can't get anything, and if she is any woman, she will probably not be reconciled." ”
Xiao Nuo was speechless, turned his head to look at Meng Tianchu, Xiao Cui said indifferently: "Okay, Master Meng, I'm still busy, I'm going to leave Wang Yi sneered: "Let's go?" ”
When Xiao Cui heard Wang Yi's words, she was a little stunned, and said: "Shouldn't you let me go, I didn't kill the third lady, I just saw her die and dug out her heart, and I didn't kill anyone, why didn't you let me go?" ”
Wang Yi: "You didn't kill anyone, what are you running?" ”
Xiaocui was choked by Wang Yidi's words, and Wang Yi said: "Miss Xiaonuo and Master Meng asked you three times and twice Since you didn't kill you, what are you running, why don't you answer?" ”
Xiao Cui was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Wang Zhutou asked you something, why don't you say it?" ”
"I..., I don't know what to say."
Meng Tianchu: "I don't think you're sitting idly by, right?" ”
Xiao Cui looked at Meng Tianchu with a weak heart, and said, "Meng..., Lord Meng, what are you... What do you mean? ”
Meng Tianchu looked at Xiao Cui solemnly and said: "I know that your psychological quality is good, and I also know that you are not chaotic, so Wan Niang chose you alone among so many maids, but do you know that on the night of Wan Niang's death, she had already suffered from heavy bleeding, and your young master happened to be absent, in her case, her body was no longer supported, and it was impossible to completely commit suicide alone. ”
Xiao Cui was suddenly anxious and said, "Master Meng, you can't spray people with blood, I said, I just saw her die, so I dug out her heart, I didn't kill her." ”
Meng Tianchu: "We checked Wanniang's body and heart, and found that the knife stabbed deeply, and even inserted some of the heart, even if Wanniang was determined to commit suicide, but at that time she was afraid that her heart was already weak." ”
Cui: "That's just your guess. You can't say that I helped the third lady. ”
Meng Tianchu: "I can't just guess, but we found some answers from the expression on the face of the late lady." ”
Xiao Cui was puzzled and said, "The expression of the third lady? ”
Xiao Nuo suddenly realized and said, "I understand! ”
Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo." What do you understand? ”
Xiaonuo: "No wonder Master Meng, you let me see the expression of my late mother when she died." At that time, I remember that I also said that my late mother's expression was very surprised. ”
Meng Tianchu smiled slightly and said, "Yes." Do you now know why she was so surprised? ”
Xiaonuo: "I understand, it should be said that there was no help from Xiaocui in her suicide plan, she thought that she could completely commit suicide by herself, but after finding that she had lost a lot of blood, she was exhausted, and maybe she didn't even have the strength to hold a knife, she didn't think of it." Standing aside, Xiaocui stepped forward to help her stab the knife in the chest, and I think this was probably what surprised Wan Niang at the time. ”
Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "No." It's not like that, it's that she doesn't have the strength herself, so let me help her. Everyone let out a long sigh, and Xiao Cui realized that she had lost her words, and quickly covered her mouth.
Meng Tianchu: "Maybe you can talk to the late mother." She's dead. You only have the three hundred taels of silver, so when you left, you gave all the scattered silver to the little bell. Right? Since you have those three hundred taels of silver, how can you let your late mother live? ”
Xiaocui gritted her teeth and said: "I admit that the third lady didn't let me help her, but my Xiaocui didn't go for the three hundred taels of silver, she asked me to watch from the sidelines, saying that she would let me do it when she put the knife into her chest, I was afraid that after a long time, others would find out that I would die in vain, and I also saw her insert the knife into her chest, so I stepped forward to the ground." ”
Meng Tianchu said coldly: "But you didn't expect that she didn't have any strength, so the knife was inserted very shallowly, and she was still alive, right?" ”
Xiao Cui thought about it and nodded.
Xiaonuo: "So you gave her some more strength and stabbed the knife into the third lady's chest, and even pierced her heart, right?" ”
Xiao Cui's face suddenly turned pale, swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and said, "Yes!" ”
Meng Tianchu: "Do you know why the late mother was surprised when she died?" ”
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "That's not my concern. ”
Meng Tianchu: "What do you care about, money?" ”
Xiaocui: "Whether you believe it or not, except for money, my Xiaocui is not a ruthless person, since the third lady believes me, then I have to fulfill her long-cherished wish for the third lady, I can't let her die in vain, I want to put her center in the salt jar in the kitchen as soon as possible, and then go to call someone." ”
Meng Tianchu saw Xiao Cui's expressionless face, his mood was very complicated, and he said, "But do you know? You and your wife are wrong, in fact, there are many ways to save yourself. ”
Xiaocui: "I think so, for example, give the food that Feng'er gave to the third lady to another Lang Zhong to see." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Since you are so smart and sensible, why are you?" ”
Xiaocui: "I said, the master has the master's idea, we are slaves to listen to it, besides, the young master only has that Feng'er in his eyes, even if another Lang Zhong said that that it is harmful to the late mother's body, Feng'er cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and the matter passed, the third lady's body collapsed, and she didn't get the slightest bit of good, so why bother?" Now although the third lady is dead, I don't think Feng'er will survive, so at least the third lady will not die in vain, and Feng'er will also recuperate as the young grandmother of the Zhao family. ”
Meng Tianchu didn't expect that although this Xiaocui was just a maid, she was very shrewd and calculating, but it was a pity that she had exhausted the organs, but in the end, she lost three lives, which was really not worth it.
Although the case of Wang Wu and Wanniang has been closed, the case of the youngest grandson of the Zhao family was reported at the earliest, but there was no eyebrow at all.
took away Xiaocui, Meng Tianchu and Xiaonuo and Slayer Long came out of the yamen, Xiaonuo saw the dark clouds rolling in the sky, so he said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain." ”
Meng Tianchu looked up, and sure enough, he said, "It hasn't rained for a long time, it should be the last one, it's cooler." The mood will also be more comfortable. ”
Xiao Nuo and Tu Long naturally knew that Meng Tianchu was still worried about the unfinished case, so Tu Long said: "Otherwise, let's go back to Meng Ye's house to see how the recent project is going, and we will go home." Probably not in time. And the rain came. ”
Meng Tianchu thought the same, and the three of them walked to Meng Tianchu's home.
Suddenly. Meng Tianchu felt that there was a voice behind him, and before he could turn back, he saw that the dragon slayer pushed Meng Tianchu to the side, and before Xiao Nuo could react, he saw a white light flash from his eyes and flew straight towards the top of Meng Tianchu's head, and the dragon slayer flew into the room, and not far away, a man in black quickly flashed into an alley, and the dragon was about to chase. Xiao Nuo shouted: "Brother Dragon Slayer, don't go. I'm afraid it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Brother Meng and I don't know martial arts, and as soon as you leave, Brother Meng will be even more dangerous. ”
After listening to it, Slaying the Dragon felt reasonable. In a hurry, he forgot that Meng Tianchu and Xiaonuo were both people who didn't know martial arts. flew down, and Xiao Nuo had already helped Meng Tianchu up from the ground.
Dragon Slayer stepped forward and looked at Meng Tianchu carefully. Seeing that he was unharmed, he relieved himself and said: "I thought that this Hangzhou city was quite peaceful, but there were people under the blue sky and white sun, such a bold and bold sky, it was really fatal, I think tomorrow I will still call Chai Meng together, if there is such a thing again, someone will protect you, I can catch up and catch the thief alive." After speaking, he pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the earthen wall, looked at it carefully, and said: "It's so powerful, and it's poisonous, Master Meng, who do you say will harm you?" ”
Meng Tianchu calmed down and said with a smile: "Fortunately, with you, how can I know who is trying to harm me?" ”
Slaying the dragon thought for a while and said, "If we really don't know, then others are in the light and we are in the dark, so we have to be even more vigilant." ”
The three of them were talking, and when they saw Wang Yi shouting behind them, they stopped.
Wang Yi stepped forward with a smile, he didn't know that such a thrilling scene had happened just now, and said, "It's okay this time, let Meng Ye work hard." ”
Meng Tianchu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "You're welcome. ”
Wang Yi: "I'm just here to ask Meng Ye, if there is time at night, our eldest master thinks..."
Meng Tianchu had just gone through the fright just now, and now he was not interested in the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the excuse seemed to be a little inappropriate, and he was hesitating, only to see Xiaonuo smile and say: "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I invited Brother Meng first, why don't you tell your lord?" ”
Wang Yi didn't expect someone to take the lead, so he hurriedly said good things, afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay the difference when he went back, and said, "Miss Xiaonuo, look, if your matter is not very important, can it be postponed?" ”
Xiaonuo immediately said: "No, tonight is..., it's my birthday." ”
Meng Tianchu didn't expect Xiao Nuo to come up with this idea, Wang Yi naturally didn't want to say anything, so he had to smile stupidly, preparing to go back and return to Cai Zhao.
Meng Tianchu: "By the way, you just tell the eldest lord that he is free, and I will invite him and other brothers in the yamen to have a meal together, but tonight... You see, I'm really embarrassed. ”
Wang Yi immediately smiled and said, "Where is the reason why you invite us, I'll go back and tell the eldest master." ”
Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "By the way, and the woman we saved that day, did you help her find her family?" ”
Wang Yi: "Ha, look at my memory, I have found it, and it just so happened to be the sister of Zheng Baozi's wife in the west of the city, and she has already stayed, don't worry, I'll go back quickly, you just go slowly, I won't send you." With that, he left quickly.
Meng Tianchu: "Didn't Zheng Baozi's wife leave with someone else?" Didn't the woman still have no place to turn to? ”
Xiaonuo: "Okay, didn't you listen to Brother Wang, everyone has already lived with Zheng Baozi, don't worry." ”
Tu Long: "That's it, you, when you take office, that's the heart that can't be finished, I see, this case of the Zhao family's grandson, or leave it to Cai Zhao's old man, last time Long Live Lord said, you must take office within a month, so ah, I think you should leave this case alone." ”
Meng Tianchu thought for a while, didn't speak, and walked forward alone, and Slayer Long and Xiaonuo also hurriedly followed.
The three of them walked to the door of Meng's house after a while, and they didn't come back for a long time, and Meng Tianchu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
