Tian Chu brought the thing to the pillar and said, "What is this?" ”

The pillar did not look up, and everyone present turned away when they saw it.

Meng Tianchu said: "If I'm not mistaken, I should probably be a woman's dirty clothes, right?" ”

The pillar was dumbfounded.

Meng Tianchu asked again: "Who's?" ”

The pillar mother immediately said, "Mine." ”

Everyone secretly laughed when they heard this, Meng Tianchu also laughed, took the thing to the pillar and his mother, and said: "Old man, I can understand the feeling that you want to hide for your son, but this thing is probably only used by young girls or women, and you see that this color is still red." Besides, it's okay for the little daughter-in-law to wear this size, don't you think it's too small for the old man to wear it? ”

The old woman stopped talking.

Meng Tianchu said: "Pillar, whose is this dirty clothes?" ”

The pillar stammered, "It's not Magnolia's anyway." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I didn't say that it was from Magnolia, do you count it as three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

Li Zheng interjected: "Master Meng, hehe, I can guarantee that this thing must not be Magnolia." ”

Meng Tianchu knew that Li Zheng was very protective of Yulan's innocence, but he ignored him and said to the pillar: "Some people say that you are not married because of Yulan, but now it seems that this thing proves that there is no shortage of women around you, so why are you not married?" ”

Zhu Zi said: "This is my own business, anyway, I didn't kill Yulan, you don't believe you to check it yourself." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then please go to the county seat with us, and show us which open fields you have slept in the past few days." I'm going to find out! ”

The pillar hurriedly said, "Why should I go..."

Wang Yi, the head catcher on the side, said coldly: "That's not up to you!" "I stepped forward and pulled him to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Meng Tianchu said, he saw Murong Yuxue giving him a look, looking at the blanket on the table.

Meng Tianchu looked at the bulging bag, but the pillar had been protecting, and then glanced at the little macaque on Zhu Hao's shoulder.

The little monkey turned out to be very psychic, and when he saw Meng Tianchu's expression, he already knew what he wanted it to do. Rubbing the ground and jumping on the table, everyone hasn't reacted yet. The monkey has already put its paws into its coat. The pillar hurried forward to stop it. But it was too late, and the monkey took out a purse and a box of rouge from the blanket and some silk threads embroidered by the woman.

As soon as the mother of the pillar saw those things, her face immediately became gloomy, and she rushed to the pillar and slapped her head and face a few times.

Meng Tianchu thought at first that it was the two of them acting, but who knew that she was really fighting, and after a few officials went up and pulled it away, the nose of the pillar was already bleeding. He stood there motionless.

His mother looked at his pitiful appearance, her heart softened, and she found a handkerchief to wipe his nosebleed. He cried and said, "Pillar, I beg you to listen to my mother's words, count my mother begging you!" After speaking, the pillar mother actually knelt in front of the pillar, and the pillar was so frightened that the pillar hurriedly went to help his mother.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Meng Tianchu watched coldly. Why do these things make the pillar earth mother have such a big reaction. Don't think about it, these things are bought for women, and they are women that the pillar likes. It stands to reason that Zhuzi's age is an older young man who can marry even in modern times, and it's normal to like a woman to buy something to make that woman happy, but Zhuzi's mother's reaction doesn't seem to be happy that he does this.

Meng Tianchu said to the pillar: "Who did you buy so many women's things in your blanket?" ”

The pillar seemed to be a little embarrassed and angry: "It's not illegal to buy something!" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, go to the county seat with us, show us the place where you have slept for the past three days, and then take us to see the place where you bought pigs." ”

Zhuzi's mother thought that Meng Tianchu was going to take his son to the court to be tortured, so she hugged her son and said in a panic: "If you want to go, you can take me there, don't take my son!" ”

The pillar was calm and said, "Mother, there is nothing, I will go." ”

The pillar looked at the pillar worriedly and said, "But..."

"Mother, you don't have to worry, I'll come back when I go."

The pillar walked out of the house first, and the courtyard was full of people from the village who came to see the excitement, and many people were talking to each other. The pillar didn't say anything, just looked at everyone and walked straight out of the courtyard.

As soon as he got out of the yard, he saw Huzi angrily punching and kicking the pillar.

The pillar pushed Huzi away and said viciously: "You little rabbit cub, are you crazy?" See if I don't kill you! ”

Huzi was pushed to the ground by the pillar, but immediately stood up again and rushed up to fight, the pillar was annoyed, lifted the tiger and threw it out heavily, and someone in the crowd let out a scream.

At this moment, Zhu Hao shook his body and held the tiger steadily.

Murong Zhenxue pointed at him angrily and said, "You are so vicious, Huzi just died, you still have to treat him like this, are you human?" ”

Onlookers also blamed the pillars.

He sneered and said, "I'm not human? Why didn't he and his mother beat me while eating my pork for nothing? What does it mean to hit me now? I didn't kill people, why did he beat me? ”

Huzi jumped down from Zhu Haodi's arms, pointed to the pillar and said: "My mother was killed by you, when my mother left the morning before yesterday, I and the three dogs next door saw you walking behind my mother, and we left the village together, we all saw it, it was you!" ”

The pillar rushed forward to catch the tiger again. Zhu Hao made a lightning move and grabbed the pillar's shoulder. The pillar was suddenly devoured by electricity, and half of his body was numb. Zhu Hao said coldly: "If the young master doesn't still want to use you to investigate the case, I will abolish you immediately!" ”

The pillar trembled in pain under Zhu Hao's palm, and cold sweat flowed on his forehead. Shivering and begging for mercy.

Only then did Zhu Hao slowly let him go.

As soon as Zhu Hao's strength was retracted, the pillar suddenly softened to the ground.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and asked, "Pillar." Is what Huzi said just now true? ”

The pillar stumbled and said, "Yes... Yes, yes doesn't mean I killed Magnolia. ”

Meng Tianchu walked up to Huzi and asked softly, "Huzi, who did you say you saw together?"

Behind your mother, and then left the village together? ”

Huzi pointed to a boy in the crowd who was about the same age as himself, only to see that the child had a runny nose and teeth, and was far less beautiful than Huzi's spirit.

The kid walked up to Meng Tianchu. Snorted snot. said, "Yes." I saw it first, when I was playing in the river with Huzi, I saw Aunt Yulan carrying a basket and walking in front, not far away with Uncle Zhuzi. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Didn't the black dog of the Huzi family follow at that time? ”

The child looked at Huzi, and Huzi said, "I remember, my sunspot was following at that time, isn't it Sangou?" I remember that my sunspots followed. ”

The kid thought about it, too. nodded and said, "That's it, I also remember that the sunspot is following Aunt Yulan." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, how could Heizi and Yulan go out of the ground together, how could they die at home? Asked, "What are you doing after Magnolia?" ”

The pillar looked flustered and said, "What... What do you want me to follow her, the way out of the village is... Just one, she can go, I... I can walk too. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then when did you go separately from Yulan?" ”

The pillar said, "That... Then I'll... I didn't pay attention. What am I paying attention to her for? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled. said: "If you don't pay attention, I think it's strange that you ran away from home for this woman." And it's been ten years since I left, and I've been very nice to her and her children since I came back, and you still say you didn't pay attention to her? ”

Huzi said: "I know why you killed my mother, it's because you want to be good with my mother, but my mother doesn't do it, you kill her!" ”

Many people in the crowd were secretly laughing, and Zhuzi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he pointed at Huzi and said angrily: "You... You little bunny, you... What nonsense, see if I come back and don't kill you! ”

Meng Tianchu said coldly: "You really have the ability, threaten a child!" ”

Ye Chu stepped forward and said, "Will Meng Ye take the pillar back to the county seat and imprison him now?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "We just asked about the situation and let him back, but after he came back, he couldn't leave the village until we investigated the case." ”

Ye Chu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and just nodded.

Meng Tianchu and his entourage walked from the east end of the village to the west with the pillar, and not far from home, the pillar suddenly stopped and said: "We can also go out of the village in the east, and we can go to the county town by taking a small road, why do we have to pass through the whole village?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Our carriages are all at the entrance of the village, so we have to go back the same way." ”

"Otherwise, I will take the path, you go and get your carriage, I will not run, you can rest assured."

Meng Tianchu felt very strange when he saw that he didn't want to leave, so he said, "Who are you afraid of meeting in the village?" ”

When the pillar heard this, he panicked even more, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No... No, it's just that I don't want to go that far. ”

"Hehe, but I'm afraid you'll have to walk this path with us today."

The pillar still didn't leave, and Meng Tianchu motioned for the two officials to step forward and drag the pillar forward.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement along the way, and the people working in the fields also put down their work one after another, and the pillars buried their heads low and never looked up.

Meng Tianchu walked to Murong Zhenxue's side and whispered a few words, and along the way, the two of them carefully observed the lively people on both sides of the road.

Walking and walking, Murong Zhenxue quietly pulled Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu looked at Murong Zhenxue, saw that she was looking at the people on the side of the road, comprehended, and deliberately said loudly: "Everyone rest for a while, such a big sun, I am tired, I want to find someone to drink water before leaving." ”

The group stopped, and the pillar raised his head to look, and suddenly, he stared at the crowd in a daze, his eyes were red, his expression changed from the previous silence to sadness, and then he lowered his head again.

At this time, a woman in the crowd left quickly, and Murong Yuxue whispered to Meng Tianchu: "I just found out that this woman has been following the crowd watching the excitement, and she has walked a long distance, and her expression is different from watching the excitement on the side, and she is nervous or sad, so I will let you take a look." ”

Meng Tianchu called Wang Yi to his side and whispered a few words, and Wang Yi immediately nodded and followed the woman.

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, could it be that the things that the pillar bought for the woman were for the woman just now? Judging from the expressions of the two people, it should be a little interesting.

After a while, Wang Yi came back and whispered: "I live not far away, I shouldn't have noticed me, and I closed the door when I entered the house." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, stood up, and deliberately said to the pillar: "I'm thirsty, go find the nearby folks to get some water to drink, pillar, are you going?" ”

The pillar quickly shook his head and did not speak.

Meng Tianchu smiled meaningfully and said, "Okay, then let's go and come back, just leave some people here to accompany you, I'll be soon." ”

Wang Yi took Meng Tianchu, Zhu Hao, Murong Zhenxue and the monkey to the woman's door.

This woman's home is under a big mountain, surrounded by towering trees, living in this place, it is still very cool in summer, but it is probably colder in winter.

Wang Yi knocked on the door, and the door soon opened, and a little girl of seven or eight years old came out, very thin, and her eyes were a little dull, her face was also yellowed without nutrition, and her clothes were very shabby.

The girl looked at Meng Tianchu and the four of them timidly, and whispered, "Who are you looking for?" ”

A woman's voice in the room said, "Lamei, who is it?" ”

The girl turned around and replied, "Mother, I don't know them." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Girl, we are passing by here, and we are thirsty and want to ask for a glass of water for you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

At this time, a person came out of the room, and it was the woman who had left in a panic just now.
