Yingming said: "That...... Then why when I came back, the windows were closed

Meng Tianchu said: "Hahahaha, you are really careful, then you should ask this monkey who was trained by Shui Muyan to be very smart, since you can close the door, is it easier to close the window?" ”

He Yingming finally had nothing to say, sitting on the ground and drooping his head, suddenly, he raised his head and said, "Why do you say that I killed you?" ”

"The deceased died in a house with closed doors and windows, obviously strangled to death, and the only people who knew that the monkey could close the doors and windows were the deceased, you, and the personal maid Qin'er, and Qin'er was in Hangzhou at the time, and it was impossible to kill people by himself, so the murderer was only you! Although you have done all the tricks, you have forgotten that the dead can speak! ”

"Huh?" He Yingming screamed in horror.

"The deceased told me with her face, how did you design this mechanism, you leaned Shui Muyan against the window, after all, she was already a dead person, and you also knew that she would have to lean on the window for at least a few hours, and when the corpse stiffness was relieved, the corpse would fall, and it was these hours leaning against the window, so the carved patterns on the window were printed on the deceased's face."

He Yingming said: "It's been half a year, how can you still see the marks on your face?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You like to break the casserole and ask the end, okay, then I'll tell you, do you know what corpse wax is?" ”

He Yingming shook his head, and Meng Tianchu said: "This is also to blame you, who told you that you were willing to spend so much money to redeem Shui Muyan, but you didn't want to find her a dry and breathable place when you died." I just hastily found a place around here and buried her. ”

He Yingming said: "What does this have to do with the place where she is buried?" ”

"It's a big deal, the place where you buried her happens to be a low-lying place, and this year it happens to be raining a lot in Hangzhou, and the body is buried in damp soil or soaked in water for a long time, and the decay slows down or stops, because of the soaking of water, the skin becomes soft, and the epidermis peels off. Some body fats and other substances form wax-like substances that are insoluble in water. This is called corpse wax. The formation of corpse wax is just right to preserve the appearance and damage characteristics before death. Although this mark had already left on her face when she was buried in the ground. It's just that you have a ghost in your heart when you kill someone, so you don't dare to look at her face at all, so naturally you won't find out. ”

He Yingming's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he regretted or was sad, so he lowered his head. After a long time, he sighed: "I confess." It was I who killed Shui Muyan, I thought no one could know, I didn't expect it...... Alas! ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Why do you want to kill Shui Muyan? ”

He Yingming sighed again and said, "If I didn't really like her, I wouldn't have spent so much money to redeem her, and then in order to win a smile from the beauty, I built this mansion for her in Renhe County, but." No matter what I do. Her heart is still not with me, not even a tenth of what Qin'er gave me, and I still remember that day was three days before August 15th. My wife asked her to go back for a reunion, she excused herself that it was uncomfortable, and I also knew that she was very high-spirited, she was a talented woman, and she didn't look down on the roughness and shallowness of our family, but I still relied on her, and at that time I and Qin'er had secretly carried her on her back, so I had the heart to let my wife meet Qin'er, so I let Qin'er go back first. ”

Meng Tianchu saw him stop, so he said, "Go on." ”

He Yingming then continued: "After Qin'er left, she asked me if I wanted to take Qin'er as a concubine, and I admitted it at the time, anyway, I felt that she didn't care about me, she actually said, let me change her to Qin'er, let her go, I heard it at first thought she was jealous, and I was a little happy, but I didn't expect it, but she immediately said that she has always had a man in her heart, hoping that I can give her happiness." I was angry at the time, thinking that I spent a lot of money to redeem you from the sea of suffering, but you actually thought of other men, in a fit of anger, I slapped her, to be honest, I was distressed after the beating, how could I be willing to hit her? ”

He Yingming actually sat there and cried sadly when he said this, and Meng Tianchu didn't bother him, knowing that a man would not cry easily unless he had to, so he let He Yingming cry.

He Yingming finally stopped her tears and said: "After she covered her face and cried all the time, I was very annoyed, so I went to her downstairs study to relax, I didn't expect to see a man's letter to her and some words of longing that she wrote to that man, after reading it, my previous anger was aroused again, I rushed upstairs and grabbed her neck, I didn't think about anything at that time, I was going to kill this slut, but I spent my money thinking about other men, and I shamelessly said that I wanted me to give her happiness, I had only one thought in my head, let her die! By the time I calmed down, she was dead. ”

When He Yingming said this, he was a little sad, wiped his muddy tears, and continued: "You all know the rest of the matter. I sat there for a while and began to plan what to do. I waited for a few hours, waited for the body to stiffen, then stood by the window and went out. Based on past experience, I know that as soon as I go out, the monkeys will come up and close the door on their own. When I came out, the little monkey closed the door from the inside. I then left here under the pretext of creating the illusion that I had left here while she was alive. ”

After Meng Tianchu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "You are spending money to buy sin, alas, really! He commanded that he be taken back to prison.

By this time, the sky had turned slightly white, and a new day had begun.

—————————————————————————

Meng Tianchu returned home, lay on the couch in the study and slept all night, but when he woke up, he felt that his whole body was sore, so he went out of the door and moved.

The roses and the moon season in the yard are blooming very well, some idle maids move a small Deng three or two to sit together embroidering or making shoes, the sun has not come out for a while, the day is not very hot, occasionally there is a cool breeze blowing, very pleasant.

A few days ago, Xia Fengyi suggested that Lao He Tou should come back as a housekeeper. The Xizi Restaurant by the West Lake was sold. Meng Tianchu adopted this suggestion, anyway, since he became the foreman of the East Factory, he now has money, and he doesn't care about this little wine at all

After Lao He came back, he became the steward of Mengfu, and the original housekeeper became his deputy.

At this time, when Lao He saw Meng Tianchu coming out, he hurriedly came over and whispered, "Young Master." Second Lady. Oh. That is the gentle girl who said she wanted to see you. ”

Meng Tianchu stretched his waist and squinted his eyes to look at Lao Hetou, who hurriedly explained: "The old slave didn't go to the back garden, it was the maids who went to deliver the food just now who said it later, saying that they wanted to see you last night, but they knew that you had worked hard recently, so I didn't dare to wake you up." The maids said it again, so the old slave will come to inform you. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll eat first, and then I'll talk." ”

Lao He nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, the old slave will prepare breakfast for the young master." ”

"Hmm. By the way, call all three ladies to me. Let's just say what I said, let's go to the back garden together, and probably the lotus flowers have already bloomed. You also prepare some food and drink to take with us, and we sit there for a long time. ”

Lao He saw that Meng Tianchu's interest was so high, so he also prepared happily.

Gentleness was just a thin veil on her body, and it was very hot to live in this attic, and she opened all the doors, but still did not feel a cool breeze blowing in.

She held a copy of the Book of Songs in one hand and a folding fan in the other, and sat lazily on the chair in front of the building.

She looked back at the box, it was the last time Meng Tianchu took her to Qiantang to fill her with food, she asked Xiao Er for a food box, she felt delicate and brought it home, the day after she was locked up, she asked the maid to take the box from her room to her.

It's been four days, she said she wanted to see Meng Tianchu, but this man seemed to have evaporated from the world, and never appeared in the back garden again, she often listened with her ears in the direction of the front yard, and there were only the voices of a few ladies and maids.

When she thought of that night, that sultry night, she couldn't help blushing and heartbeat, it should be the wedding night after she married into the Meng family, so she could really feel a man's heartbeat and the most primitive impulse, so many days have passed, she can still smell the smell of a man in bed, those tender whispers, those trembling and excited touches, and the stinging that makes her tremble to this day, yes, after that night, She found that in fact, she had roared and fought like a lion so many times, and all she had gained was tears and regret.

After all, he is still married, and this man still believes in himself, by the river, on the grass, those laughter and laughter are all related to this man who was scolded by himself as not a man.

At this time, Wen Wen suddenly heard someone coming, and she instinctively stood up and watched. Sure enough, after passing through a long corridor, she was the first to see Meng Tianchu in a white robe, smiling and holding a folding fan, striding in her direction.

Gently felt that her face was suddenly hot, she hurriedly walked to the room, walked quickly to the bronze mirror and looked at herself carefully, and found that in only a few days, she had been haggard and thinned a lot, her hair was scattered casually, and her face was pale. She stood up and walked to the door just poking her head out to look down, and found that there were a lot more people in the back garden, Xia Fengyi, Zuo Jiayin, Feiyan, and many maids and subordinates. Meng Tianchu seemed to be in high spirits, and Feiyan and a group of maids were kicking, everyone was laughing happily, just a stone's throw away, but no one looked at their small attic to take a look, as if it was the end of the world again.

Gently disappointed back in the room, suddenly she still walked to the basin, wet the hair in front of her forehead with clean water, and then returned to the bronze mirror and sat down elegantly, dressing up seriously.

Meng Tianchu was tired of playing, so he walked to the pavilion and sat down, Xia Fengyi handed him a bayberry, he leaned his mouth over, and Xia Fengyi fed it to him with a smile.

"People are looking for you, but you really don't go?"

Meng Tianchu looked at Xia Fengyi and said with an ambiguous smile: "Do you want me to go, or don't you want to?" ”

Xia Fengyi smiled and said, "Does the husband want me to go, or don't you want me to go?" ”

Zuo Jiayin half lay on a low couch opposite, and said: "You don't have to grind your mouths, I see, let's go and see, people say every day to see the young master, the young master's trick is to capture the master, even if it is superb, it's a pity, you have been spending people like this, be careful that people have lovesickness, I'll see what you do." ”

Meng Tianchu walked to Zuo Jiayin and sat down, and said, "Feng Yi and I can't match half of your tongues, it's good for you to say something cool to us on the side." Okay, you let me go, I'll go, just be careful that I empathize and don't fall in love, when the time comes, I will only see the new person laughing, and I won't hear the old person crying! ”

Zuo Jiayin and Xia Fengyi said in unison: "You should try it, we want to see how the newcomer laughs." ”

After hearing this, Meng Tianchu had no choice but to stand up, pointed at Zuo Jiayin and nodded at Xia Fengyi, and pretended to be vicious and said, "When you two little hooves cry, I'll go here and let you be sad here alone." ”

The two beauties both smiled, no one paid attention to Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu snorted, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and went straight to the attic.

Wen Rou had just put on the last hairpin, when she heard someone go upstairs, she quickly stood up, first smiled in the mirror, and then patted her face, before she could go out, Meng Tianchu was already standing at the door.

Meng Tianchu saw that Wen Rou was in front of the mirror, thinking that it was the beauty who felt self-pity, but he could only tell the mirror.

Seeing that it was Meng Tianchu, she didn't know what to do for a while, she couldn't laugh and couldn't laugh, and she didn't know how to say anything, so she had to stand there, at a loss.
