Zhong was speechless, and then argued strongly: "I obviously saw Chen send it to Yulan."

"Miss Mei also said just now, she knows about this matter, so in addition to the hairpin, did you see them do anything else in the broken temple?"

Guan Zhong said: "The black light is blind, you... What do you want me to see? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "You are planning to catch the traitor, you can only watch and not listen?" You probably don't need me to be too clear, it's not like you didn't listen, and you didn't hear what you wanted to hear, did you? ”

"You..."

The people behind him were secretly laughing, and everyone naturally knew what Meng Tianchu meant by what he wanted to hear, and everyone's expressions became ambiguous.

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, then tell me, how did you kill Yulan, you killed Yulan, why did you dismember her and throw her at the entrance of the village, why is this?" ”

Guan Zhong said: "She should be cut with a thousand knives, and any woman who does not abide by women's morals should be cut with a thousand cuts, even if she is chopped to pieces, it can't solve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"I'm just asking you to tell me how you killed her, nothing else, don't talk so much nonsense!"

Guan Zhong paused, and when he saw Meng Tianchu looking at him with a gloomy face, he didn't dare to say much, and continued: "On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I didn't go to Lizheng's house, because I thought that Xue'er was also a shame for the village, and after marrying out, she came back with the face to build a garden, and the girl who married out was splashed with water, and she came back just to not keep the woman's way, and I didn't go because I didn't want to lose that person." ”

"You're going to be far away again, and if you don't go, you won't go. Where is there so much nonsense to say. ”

I confessed that I had been to the ruined temple, and I did not see the adultererous woman, so I turned and went home, and saw Yulan passing by me, and looked in a hurry, just as I had seen her last time I went to the ruined temple. So I asked where she went. She said that the family dog suddenly ate something wrong. She wanted someone to come and see. Bah! Obviously I just wanted to steal people, and I was looking for some reason, so I lied to her at the time and said that I had a cure for dog poisoning at home, and asked her to pick it up with me, and she quickly went with me when she heard it. ”

Someone in the crowd interjected, "Didn't you say people were stealing?" Why do I still go to the house with you to get it? ”

Guan Zhong said: "That's because she's smart, and I'm afraid that I'll know that she's deceiving people, so I have to go with me to get it first." Then I went to have a private meeting with the adulterer. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You go on"

"All the people of the village went to eat that day, so no one saw us, so I took her home, and let her into the house and waited, and she said that she was standing in the courtyard better, pretending to be a chaste and martyr, for fear that I would do something to her. So I went into the house and got a hammer and put it behind my back. Walk up to her. Before she could react, a hammer struck her on the head, and she didn't say a word. Immediately he fell in front of me. ”

Many people frowned, and their mouths made bursts of inhalation sounds, as if their heads had been smashed, and their expressions were painful.

Meng Tianchu said: "But you didn't dismember the deceased in your home, and then went to the entrance of the village to abandon the body, right?" ”

Guan Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "How do you know?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and didn't answer, and said, "Because you left some of this village on the deceased, only if you are loyal can you have land." ”

Everyone was discussing, what Meng Tianchu said, Guan Zhong also looked at Meng Tianchu curiously.

Meng Tianchu said: "You go on, and then you will know what the thing that can only be left to the deceased if you are loyal to it is." ”

Guan Zhong looked at the young master in front of him suspiciously, there was no trace of fraud on his face, but he was full of confidence, he muttered in his heart, what is what I Guan Zhong has, and it is still impossible to guess at this time. "After I smashed her to the ground, I was worried that the neighbors would come back and find her, so I carried her to my pond, and in the middle of the pond there was a platform that I built myself, which is usually used to store lotus roots, and I took her to that place and chopped her into pieces." Then they were loaded in baskets and carried to the other side by boat, and thrown one by one near the entrance of the village. But I still don't know what I left on Magnolia. ”

Everyone also looked at Meng Tianchu eagerly, Meng Tianchu walked to Guan Zhong with a smile and pointed to his back and shoulders, Guan Zhong looked back and saw nothing, and some villagers standing in front of him also approached curiously to take a look.

"Master Meng, why didn't we see anything?"

Guan Zhong snorted and said, "Do you think that the people in the Yamen are really like gods, and everyone is Bao Qingtian?" Who wouldn't blackmail? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Only you are loyal to blackmail that Chen Di, I, Meng Tianchu, will not blackmail you, thinking that you are not worthy of me to blackmail, you will carry evidence everywhere in the aisle on your body, do you need me to blackmail you?" ”

The people on the side asked suspiciously, "Evidence?" But Master Meng, we really didn't see anything. ”

Meng Tianchu said to Guan Zhong: "You went to the pond before you came to the ancestral hall, right?" ”

"Nonsense, I don't go to the pond where do I go!"

Wang Yi stepped forward and scolded: "If you speak disrespectfully, be careful of your mouth!" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and asked Wang Yi to step aside, and said, "That's right, but how do I know that you have been to the pond?" You say you can't see what's in him, it's because you're used to it. ”

The villagers approached to look at it and asked, "What is it?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Pollen. ”

"Pollen?"

said in unison.

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "On the fifth day of the first month, I heard Li Zheng tell me that only Guan Zhong's family has the only pond in the village in this village, I don't know if Master Li Zheng still has an impression?" ”

Ye Chu actually didn't remember it for a long time, but at this time, he didn't dare to say that he didn't remember, the master said that he said it himself, and it was true that only Guan Zhong's family had a pond in the village, probably because he forgot about it, and he couldn't lie, so he quickly nodded, which can be regarded as admitting.

Meng Tianchu saw Ye Chu nodding frequently like a chicken chattering rice. Then he continued: "Later, I also took a closer look, and it was true, and Guan Zhong was worried that others would steal the lotus root from him, so he raised a very fierce dog, and once, when my wife and I stood in the pond and took a nap, he threatened us that if we didn't leave. You have to let the dog bite the man. So. It is impossible for anyone else to approach the pond by boat except to be loyal to himself. And. In this season, the lotus flowers bloom just right, and when the wind blows, the pollen is naturally blowing everywhere, and there will naturally be more pollen on the platform he used to put the lotus root. Then. We didn't know what the powdery things on the ground on the corpse were, but later it was found that the pillar was allergic to lotus pollen, and some pollen was blown on the clothes at that time, although it was very rare, so it was thought of the ground, but a wangcai appeared in the middle for no reason, so you Guan Zhong did not surface until today, letting everyone know that you are the murderer of Magnolia. And you gathered everyone yourself. Otherwise, how can you have the opportunity to listen to you Guan Zhong tell you about your murder without going to court? ”

Listen, everybody. They all nodded approvingly.

Guan Zhong was speechless for a moment, drooping his head, with a desperate look. A little saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, hanging in the air and fluttering in the wind.

Meng Tianchu looked at Guan Zhong's almost crazy appearance, the matter had become completely clear, and it seemed that there was no point in continuing to ask, and Chen and Mei'er didn't know when they had already left.

Meng Tianchu called Wang Yi and asked him to bring Guan Zhong back. Guan Zhong resisted desperately, and was finally carried away by two officials with his arms, and when he didn't come, he didn't expect to find out the murderer, so he didn't bring any torture equipment, but fortunately, it was over.

Meng Tianchu walked up to Ye Jing and Ye Chu and said goodbye to them one by one, everyone hurriedly got up to send each other, and even the old antiques on the side admired each other.

Ye Chu sent Meng Tianchu out of the ancestral hall and said: "It's really unpredictable, who would have thought that it was Guan Zhong, this old man has been very pedantic all his life, he didn't read any books, but he talked about ethics and morality all day long, fortunately, what he said was not true, don't say it, I still have to thank Meng Ye for finding the murderer." ”

Meng Tianchu arched his hand and smiled: "What Lord Li Zheng said is that after saying goodbye, you stop here, and you don't have to send it." ”

Ye Chu saw that Meng Tianchu had no intention of continuing, so he returned the gift to the guests, and saw that Meng Tianchu and his party waited to take Guan Zhong away before returning to the ancestral hall.

At the other end of the village, a man and a woman were walking slowly in the shade of a tree, and the man was holding a child in his arms, the child had fallen asleep, fine beads of sweat oozed from his full forehead, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The man looked at the woman beside him, and tried to open his mouth several times but swallowed it back. Both of them were silent, and when they were about to reach the door, the woman suddenly stopped, and the man quickly stopped, and after taking half a step more, he turned back and looked back at the woman timidly.

"Do you think that my Ye family has wronged you?"

The man didn't speak, just shook his head.

"I'm not good to you, do you know why?"

The man nodded.

The woman was in a hurry, and she couldn't wait to go up and slap the man, and looked at the sleeping child, so she had to hold back and say in a deep voice: "Don't you have a long mouth?" ”

The man finally spoke, "It's long." ”

"Then I'll ask you, and you can speak."

"Yes"

Seeing the man's frightened look, the woman sighed heavily and said, "You are a man, you don't have to obey me in everything, listen to me, you know?" ”

"Know"

"You know you're still so submissive, what do you think about you like a man?"

…

"I'm asking you"

…

"If you don't say it, you can hand it over to me as a child, you go back to your Chen family, I Yemei don't want to be such a man who doesn't grow up and doesn't come out." After saying that, he stepped forward to pick up the child.

The man took a step back and said: "I Chen was bought by your Ye family with silver, this is what you said, I want to gain fame, you say that I don't have that ability, I want to do something for the family, you say that I want to embezzle the Ye family's property, I just say more, you think I want to please a certain person, you have characterized yourself as a man, I haven't come out yet, how can I still be motivated?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled, walked up to the man, took out her own champa and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the man was startled and a little flattered.

The woman said angrily, "Okay." It's actually good that you're like this, what do you want to do in the future, I won't stop you anymore, it seems that I'm being careful, if I don't even believe in my own man, who else do I rely on? ”

When the man heard the woman say this, he smiled and said, "Madam." Is it really? ”

The woman nodded. said: "My words count. In the future, you will speak louder in the Ye family, gentlemen, you must know that if a man wants to be promising, he must not revolve around his wife. ”

The man was suddenly ambitious, and said excitedly: "Then I am today."

Read good books and strive to participate in the township exam, do you say it's good? ”

The woman said, "Here you go again." You don't have to ask me if I'm good or not in the future, you have to be assertive, you know? ”

The man nodded, and the woman looked at the child in the man's arms, wiped the sweat on the child, looked at her man affectionately, and said, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

The man took two steps. Suddenly hesitated. Her face was also gloomy, and when the woman saw this, she smiled and said, "There are some things that can be let go and let go." There are some things that can be forgotten and better forgotten, you say? Messire! ”

The man immediately understood, immediately smiled, held the child in one hand, and walked out of the house with the woman's shoulder in the other.

The two carriages on Meng Tianchu's side were rushing to the county seat unhurriedly, and the rest of the people were riding horses, the weather was already a little cooler, and from time to time there was a cool breeze blowing, which made people feel refreshed.

Murong Yuxue and Meng Tianchu sat in a car and chatted.

Murong Xue said, "Is that silver hairpin the silver hairpin you found in Yulan's house that day?" ”

"Probably, I don't know."

Murong Yuxue smiled strangely, her eyes bent into a crescent moon, and said, "Giggles, you still want to lie to me?" I knew that you must be kind-hearted again, and I couldn't bear to expose it when I saw that it was Xue'er's family. ”

Meng Tianchu touched Murong Yuxue's head with a smile and said, "You guessed this wrong. ”

Murong Yuxue was stunned: "I guessed wrong? ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, took out the hairpin and looked at it, and said: "Actually, if you listen to the eldest lady of the Ye family, it is not difficult to hear that she has the heart to protect her husband, and more importantly, to protect the reputation of the Ye family. ”

"Tianchu, do you think Chen and Yulan really have an adulterous relationship?"

Meng Tianchu smiled, nodded at Murong Zhenxue's little nose, and said, "Is it so important?" The important thing is that after this incident, Ye Mei should be good to her husband, if she is considerate of her husband, I don't think I will go out to mess with flowers and grass, since he is willing to get into trouble, then he will not take risks for a widow, this is what his wife said, although the hairpin matter, Ye Mei explained a bit far-fetched, fortunately, the people here are simple, and they all know that Ye Mei is drinking to Chen, moreover, the customs of this village are really not good, and there are immorals and bad customs at every turn, Ye Mei grasped this point, so she was able to get away with it, leaving Guan Zhong speechless, and almost choked to death by this girl's words. It's just you, don't be so interested in this, forget about it later, you know? ”

Murong Xue blushed and said, "I'm just curious, if there really is, according to the villagers' intentions, his wife will definitely not come forward to protect him, but if he doesn't..."

Meng Tianchu interrupted Murong Zhen's words, patted her little face, and said, "Don't think about it, you are a woman, you should understand a woman's psychology, yes or no, it has nothing to do with this case." ”

Murong Yuxue took a good look at Meng Tianchu's words, so she understood, looked at Meng Tianchu and smiled, didn't speak, opened the door curtain, looked at it, and then said: "It would be nice if it rained in such a weather, it was really hot." ”

"Take some off and you'll be cool."

Murong Yuxue didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "What?" ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand, such a joke is still not good with her, Zhenxue is not as gentle as Feiyan and gentle, she pays attention to these very much, if something is slightly wrong, she will be really angry.

The carriage finally returned to the yamen, everyone got off the car, got off the horse, Wang Yi and they escorted Guan Zhong back to the cell, since Yin Haoran, the little guy came to make trouble, the guards in the cell were obviously much stricter.

At this time, there was a muffled sound, and the sky really began to thunder, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Xue Xue is a half-immortal, what to say, is more spiritual than Feiyan." ”

Murong Yuxue smiled, looked up at the sky, and said that she was going to go back quickly, it was going to rain, and then she turned around and walked in the opposite direction to her house, and a servant next to her said: "I thought you wouldn't go back, so I went directly to the carriage and horses under the yamen, I knew that Miss Murong was going back, so we might as well send you first." ”

Murong Yuxue turned around, first glanced at the joking servant, and said angrily: "Be careful to tear your mouth that can't speak." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Otherwise, I'll send you." ”

Several officials on the side hurriedly coaxed, Meng Tianchu signaled them to shut up, and pretended to be angry and said: "It's just that I have indulged you all on weekdays, and you dare to be so casual with me, be careful that one day this master gets angry, none of you have good fruit to eat." ”

Murong Yuxue hurriedly waved her hand, and said as she walked: "It's better for you to go back, it's close anyway, I'll just go by myself." ”

Meng Tianchu was still not at ease, the sky was getting darker and darker, so he called a servant who was laughing just now to send Murong Zhenxue, Murong Zhenxue couldn't help it, so he had to agree, the two looked at each other affectionately, and then Meng Tianchu saw Murong Zhenxue disappear from sight, and then walked home.
