Madame hurriedly stepped forward, took out a black pill from her body, lightly hit Xue's hand on her vest, and then clicked on the two acupuncture points behind her back with her thumb and index finger, and put the pill into Xue'er's mouth, and the whole process was orderly.

Meng Tianchu stood aside as if watching a movie, and quietly asked Zhu Hao, who was standing on the side, what kind of kung fu this was, Zhu Hao said in a deep voice: "This big lady's kung fu is not under her father-in-law!" This set of points to stop bleeding is already superb! ”

"Oh, better than you?"

"Hehe..." Zhu Hao didn't answer directly, but Tianchu already knew the answer. He stared at the movements of the eldest lady, and felt in his heart that this family was like a costume version of "A Group of Wives and Concubines", and after thinking about it, he felt more and more that these people were much more interesting than this case.

After Xue'er ate the pill, her complexion quickly recovered, Miao Zhe looked at her eldest lady gratefully, and the eldest lady said: "Let's send Xue'er back to the room, the matter here has come to an end for the time being, everyone is not gathered here to watch the monkeys, first lock the second lady in her own room, everyone else should do what they should do first, the people from the yamen have been here for a long time, let the officials eat something, this is our own family matter, we can't snub the guests because of this, That's the inadequacy of our Miao family. ”

Miao Zhe nodded, stood up, looked at the subordinates who were still standing in the courtyard and the people from the yamen, and said: "Everyone disperse, what to do and what to do, it's just today's matter, I, Miao Zhe, said ugly things ahead, the person who killed my child didn't find out for a day, you all controlled my mouth for me, if I heard any rumors outside." You will not be lighter than your second lady. Do you all understand? ”

The people in the courtyard replied that they would say yes, after everyone had dispersed. The housekeeper took the second lady back to her courtyard as instructed by the eldest lady and ordered someone to take care of her. Xue'er was also sent back to the room to rest, while Meng Tianchu and the others were invited back to the hall by Miao Zhe.

After Miao Zhe waited for his subordinates to serve tea, he withdrew all his subordinates, and then said to Meng Tianchu: "I just let my master see my Miao family's jokes." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miao Mansion is strict in governing the family, and it is too late for Meng to admire." Who doesn't have a short thing in a parent. Nothing. ”

Miao Zhe sighed, at this time, the third lady walked in the door, and after seeing Meng Tianchu and the others, she walked up to Miao Zhe and whispered: "Xue'er said that she wanted to see Master Meng, you see?" ”

Miao Zhe frowned and replied, "You told her to let her rest for the time being, just say what I said, she can only cultivate well in bed now." Naturally, I won't care about the child's affairs, and that's also my child, so let her recuperate with peace of mind. ”

The third lady nodded, then turned to leave. Meng Tianchu looked at the back of the third lady leaving. said: "Master Miao's family, but everyone has the habit of practicing martial arts? ”

Miao Zhe said: "Where is it to practice martial arts, just practice boxing and feet on weekdays." When it is to invigorate qi and blood, train muscles and bones, three generations of our Miao family have studied medicine, and naturally know the truth that strengthening the body and bones is better than the truth. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "The fourth lady thinks that the reason why she just entered the door is that she has not been practicing martial arts for a long time, because her body is still not good." ”

Miao Zhe said: "That's not the case, not everyone in the Miao family practices martial arts, only me and the eldest lady, I didn't learn this place originally, but my body was weak since I was a child, my father asked me to practice with her, my father said that she has a good physical foundation and is suitable for learning hard skills, and I am weak, so I can only learn some strong internal fists and feet." ”

Meng Tianchu exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there are such good kung fu people in the Miao family, I just like it, but I can't learn well, and I can't stand such suffering for a day." ”

Miao Zhe thought that he was not in the mood to say anything about martial arts with Meng Tianchu, after all, he had only left home for a day, this was already a day, he was about to go crazy, where did he have any thoughts to talk about kung fu with others, and because Meng Tianchu was from the Yamen, he couldn't be offended, so he had to deal with it with humming, and he looked absent-minded at first glance.

Meng Tianchu naturally saw it in his eyes, so he asked, "What kind of disease does the fourth lady have, it seems that her health is very bad?" ”

Miao Zhe thought that he was thinking about something else, and when he saw Meng Tianchu asking, he replied casually: "Xue'er was originally Suo'er, that is, the daughter of the patriarch of my eldest lady's hometown, because I accompanied Suo'er back to visit her father's tomb two years ago, I saw that I fell in love with her, so I proposed to her father, his father has three sons and four daughters, Xue'er is the fifth, I thought Xue'er didn't agree, so I gave a dowry and came back with us." This girl said that she had been in poor health since she was a child, and she thought that there were too many children in the family, and she was also in the countryside, and it was winter when she was born, so she thought that she had suffered some hardships, and she had been suffering from minor illnesses. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Miao Zhe only had something to say when he was talking about his fourth lady, so he continued to ask: "What are the four ladies eating?" ”

Miao Zhe said: "It's all Suo'er who is matching her, if it weren't for Suo'er, where would our Xue'er be so quick to spread out for our Miao family." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You mean that your eldest lady is returning the fourth lady's match."

Fertility Aid? ”

Miao Zhe nodded and said: "Yes, I also know that Suo'er is also anxious, she has never been able to have children, Ling'er didn't like it at the beginning, although she gave birth to a son and a daughter, she just rarely asked, I can see this, although Xiaoxiao is healthy, but I don't know why, I haven't seen any movement, she is anxious, naturally understandable." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this eldest lady may not be a good heart, knowing that the bodies of these four ladies and Lin Daiyu are almost the same, let her have a body like this to conceive a child, I really don't know what An's heart is. But the strange thing is that Miao Zhe is also a person who studies medicine, but he didn't realize his eldest lady's intentions, it seems that this eldest lady's acting talent can be seen and cannot be underestimated.

Meng Tianchu saw that Miao Zhe was also very tired, so he got up to say goodbye, and Miao Zhe thought that he had no intention of keeping guests, so he naturally hurried to send people out.

Walking to the door, Meng Tianchu said, "Xiao'er, we want to take it back to the Yamen, we also want to wait for you to see it." Now the body of the fourth lady, my opinion is still forgotten. So after we have an autopsy, send the child back immediately, and you can prepare for the funeral. Other than that. No one is allowed to enter the children's room for the time being. ”

Miao Zhe saw that Wang Yi was carrying a big box in his hand, knowing that his two children were in it, thinking that the people in the yamen were also trying to handle the case, he had no reason to refuse, and how to find the murderer without dissecting, so he had to nod and agree.

—

Meng Tianchu and the others walked out of the Miao Mansion and got into the carriage. Looking at the yamen to hurry, everyone was talking on the road.

Murong Zhenxue said: "This Miao Zhe is really a blessing, except for the eldest lady, the other ladies can really be regarded as a closed moon shy flower." ”

Zhu Hao has never talked much on weekdays, but today he seems to have opened a chatterbox, and he also answered: "This house is not as simple as Miao Zhe said, just exercising muscles and bones on weekdays, I looked at the yard There are knife holders, and there are at least a dozen kinds of weapons on it." Most of the handles on the weapons were polished to a very smooth degree, and I found that the third lady's temperament was incompatible with the other three, as if she were better with any of them. It's a strange person who is not close to anyone. ”

Murong Zhenxue looked at Meng Tianchu and said with a smile: "There are also three flower-like women waiting for you at home in your family." Well, you're going to die. ”

During this time, Meng Tianchu took Murong Yuxue with him everywhere, and the relationship between the two was much more harmonious than before, and he also liked to joke about it.

When Wang Yi and Zhu Hao heard this, they both laughed secretly, and Meng Tianchu knocked Murong Zhenxue's head with his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" The three ladies of my family are all kind-hearted, not juniors who are inferior to other beasts. ”

Murong Yuxue retorted: "When women have no opponents, they may all be good, and when they encounter opponents of equal strength who want to grab food, no one will be willing to let the other party take advantage, the war between women is not the same as the war between you men." ”

Meng Tianchu laughed twice, and said mockingly: "Look, this is the woman we usually regard as a sister, and she actually told us about the so-called woman theory so terrifyingly, don't you want to say it, if I meet you, you are also like this." I don't think the third lady is the kind of person you say! ”

Murong Xue said: "Women look at women and men look at women are always different, people are the same, if you see a hideous-looking person, he may not really be so hateful, if you see a person who looks like a fairy, she may not have a fairy-like heart." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Women, they will always be philosophers! ”

Murong Yuxue asked, "What is a philosopher?" ”

Meng Tianchu pretended to shake his head mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Murong Yuxue glared at Meng Tianchu angrily, everyone laughed, the carriage had stopped at the door of Meng Tianchu's house at the moment, and the driver lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Master, are you going to the yamen or going home directly?" ”

Murong Zhenxue smiled and said, "People haven't seen the three pretty girls in the family for a day, and they have long remembered it, so naturally they went home." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't pay attention to it, jumped out of the car, turned around and made a grimace at Murong Yuxue, and said, "One day some people get married, I'm afraid they are even more anxious to go home than me." As soon as the words fell, Murong Yuxue's face turned red, and she stared at Meng Tianchu resentfully.

Meng Tianchu returned home and walked into the courtyard, there was no one, he shouted, Feiyan walked out of Zuo Jiayin's room quickly, and said, "You haven't entered the courtyard yet, we all heard your laughter, have you been promoted or made rich?" Didn't you say to see some scene? It's the first time I've seen you come back from an investigation of life. ”

When Meng Tianchu saw Feiyan say this, he suddenly felt a little gloating, two people died in other people's families, but he was still playing with Xue there, it really shouldn't be. Thinking of this, Yi and Zuo Jiayin were both roasting the fire in the room, thinking about it, who was still there on such a cold day

Blaze.

Xia Fengyi saw Meng Tianchu walk in, smiled and handed a purple clay pot on the stove to Meng Tianchu, and said: "This is the Longjing we just made, you came at the right time, just now Jiayin also said that we will eat mutton at night, we have already called someone to buy it, do you want to eat stewed or hot pot?" ”

Meng Tianchu took the purple clay pot, and at first glance, it was Zuo Jiayin's, so he said with a smile: "Why don't you give me your own pot to drink." What do you do with the good news? ”

Xia Fengyi saw Meng Tianchu say this. As if he didn't understand, Zuo Jiayin put down the bamboo thing in his hand, stood up and pressed Meng Tianchu on the chair beside Xia Fengyi. said with a smile: "Naturally, he was stimulated by something outside to say such nonsense." ”

Meng Tianchu said, "Really? Wouldn't you be angry, jealous, or concerned if I drank the water from the pot instead of the tea in your cup? ”

Xia Fengyi said with a smile: "I see that you are really stimulated by something, you have always been like this, the three of us have always drunk whomever you see, what's so strange." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Zuo Jiayin and asked, "Am I like this?" ”

Xia Fengyi, Zuo Jiayin, and Feiyan said in unison: "Isn't it? ”

Seeing the three of them looking so good, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but think of the four ladies of the Miao family, so he sighed deeply.

Xia Fengyi saw Meng Tianchu like this. So he said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zuo Jiayin closed the door, then pulled Feiyan to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "Let me guess what?" ”

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan naturally knew that the three of them were the most clever Zuo Jiayin, and when they saw her say this, they quickly nodded and motioned for her to hurry up.

Zuo Jiayin looked at Meng Tianchu and said, "The young master must have gone to a big family today, and the case must be related to women." And it's not just one woman. ”

Meng Tianchu listened. Immediately smiled, and said, "As far as you ghost elf, what else do you know?" ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "I don't know." I didn't go with you to the scene, how do I know what else is? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "If you go." I think I already know who the murderers of those two children are. ”

As soon as Meng Tianchu said this, the three women said almost at the same time: "Two children! ”

Meng Tianchu originally thought that the case had no eyebrows, and it stands to reason that he couldn't tell his family, but he didn't expect to say it by mistake, so he said: "It's good that you know, don't go out and talk nonsense." It was a family in the wood business, and one of his wives gave birth to twins before they were a year old and were killed. ”

When the three women heard this, their faces changed, and Feiyan said angrily: "Who is so deprived of conscience! Even such a young child can be poisoned like this, and it is really going to be struck by thunder. ”

Feiyan has always been straightforward and fast-talking, she is right to think of anything and say anything, Meng Tianchu also feels that this is a terrifying thing for anyone.

Xia Fengyi said: "Is it real? How could there be such a thing? Have you found out who is doing the work? The child's mother thought that she would cry blood in pain. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "The child's mother is really crying blood, who is not sad?" It's just that the murderer doesn't know who it is yet. ”

Zuo Jiayin said: "Our family should not ask and talk about the case, but in this case, we feel sad." Don't be too anxious, you always say that there will always be clues left behind when the geese pass through the voice. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, and at this time, the subordinate said outside: "Madame mutton has been bought, what do you think is done?" ”

Xia Fengyi stood up, walked to the door and opened the door, and then said: "Let's make a hot pot, the hard third lady Feiyan personally cooks today, the young master likes Feiyan's mutton hot pot the most, eating a hot pot on such a cold day can not only warm up your body but also warm your heart." ”

Three more, Miao Mansion.

Miao Zhe has been sitting in front of Xue'er's bed, Xue'er fell asleep after eating the herb easily, Miao Zhe didn't feel sleepy at all, he plucked the fire in the brazier in front of the bed with a fire hook, the light in the room had been blown out by him, he didn't want people to see his expression, the fire in the brazier suddenly seemed to be booming again, some burned-out carbon slag was jumping around, and occasionally a few dogs barking could be heard outside.

Suddenly there was some noise next door, Miao Zhe listened to it carefully, and felt that it was unlikely, next door was where the two children lived, because Meng Tianchu had ordered not to let others in when he left, so he had already asked the housekeeper to lock the door, how could there be a sound? He thought about it again, maybe there was no one living in it, and there were rats walking around in it at night.

After a while, there was another voice next door, so he got up, went to the door and listened carefully, there was no sound, he sighed, yawned, he went to the bed, leaned against the rail, and fell asleep in a few moments.
