The scorching summer passed slowly, and although it was autumn, the autumn tiger still recklessly acted from time to time.

This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people rush home from the market early to celebrate the festival with their families, and even the vendors in the market are in a hurry to close their stalls at noon.

Zuo Jiayin transplanted a few vines from his Jiayin Villa to the courtyard of Meng Tianchu's new house, and Feiyan carefully designed a grape trellis for shading. On this day, Meng Tianchu asked Han to bring him a chair, put tea on the table, and enjoy the cool under this grape trellis.

Feiyan walked past him a few times, and he always covered his face with a fan, and Feiyan thought he was asleep, worried about mosquito bites, so he took out some wormwood and lit it next to him to smoke. Xia Fengyi came back from outside, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Feiyan's appearance:

"Look, this is not an insider, he has already done all this fine work, the sleeping person is comfortable, and the hard person is happy. ”

Feiyan was embarrassed to see Xia Fengyi say this, afraid of waking up Meng Tianchu, walked to Xia Fengyi's side, and was about to speak, Meng Tianchu behind him sat up and stretched a big lazy waist: "Lady said this, why do I sound funny?" If you're not good to me, can it be that others are good to me, and you can't stand it anymore? ”

Xia Fengyi smiled, handed the Tilan in her hand to Lao Hetou, who came back together, and then beckoned Feiyan: "Boil me some water, why is it so hot this day?" I wanted to hurry up and end the tavern business and come back to have a reunion dinner together, which is good, the meal has not been eaten yet, and I am angry. ”

Meng Tianchu stood up with a smile, walked to Xia Fengyi's side and fanned her with the fan in his hand: "Lady has worked hard." If I eat a lot of gas in such a hot weather, and I can't eat the delicious food made by our Feiyan for a while, then wouldn't my sin be great? So, Xiaosheng is here to accompany you, don't be angry, what kind of gas are you eating on such a hot day. Let's eat watermelon, Fang Cai Feiyan has already released two of them to the well. I'll cut it for you after you've taken a shower in a while. ”

Xia Fengyi's beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed, she looked at Meng Tianchu beside her, and laughed sneeringly: "With your hippie smiling face, how do you look like a master!" ”

Feiyan looked at them and laughed, seemed to be very close to each other, and also pursed her lips and smiled.

Xia Fengyi saw Feiyan happily on the side, stretched out her slender jade finger and poked lightly on Feiyan's forehead: "Is it so good-looking?" Treat us like a play. Don't go and boil water for me, you little girl, don't think that it's different if you young master is used to it in the back! ”

Feiyan ran away with a smile, walked to the kitchen door and turned around, and said with a smile: "Young grandma, you don't know that you two are much better than plays!" ”

Fengtian Village, Renhe County.

Salt merchant Hao Tianbao's family, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not so happy as others, the whole family was busy, Hao Tianbao sat in the hall. A maid next to him gently fanned him, he was a little restless, his height was only one meter six five, but he had to bear the weight of nearly two hundred catties, and they all said that the fat man was afraid of heat, and he should be able to see it more clearly from his body.

"Get out! A bunch of useless guys. If you are all called to eat dry food, and you are weak to fan a fan, what else can you do? Hao Tianbao scolded, stood up and kicked the maid, the maid fell to the ground, and didn't dare to speak, so he quickly stood up, and didn't dare to go, just holding a fan and standing aside with tears in his eyes.

"I'll tell you to me off. Can't you understand people? Hao Tianbao yelled loudly at the maid.

"The lord let you go. You can go. What are you doing there? As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman in her early twenties walked in, twisting her waist like a water snake. As if she had received some order, the maid heard what the woman said, and hurriedly bowed to the woman: "Yes, second grandmother." ”

Hao Tianbao saw the woman walking to his side, the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and he put the woman's waist into his arms with his fat hand, the woman giggled exaggeratedly, and did not dodge, just followed Hao Tianbao's hand on his body.

"Okay, when is it, I had a donkey face just now, how did I become a wolf now?"

"I just like my heart and liver Cuilian, you are my careful liver, it is normal for me to hug you, hug you and kiss you, no!"

At this time, I heard a woman's high and low screams from the east wing of the courtyard, as if she was in pain.

The bewitching woman pushed away the fat hand: "Okay, okay, okay, it's just!" You listen to the screams of your big wife like a pig, and you don't think anyone is in the mood to do anything with you. Is the lord still in the mood? ”

Cuilian stood up from Hao Tianbao's arms, walked to the door, and looked towards the east wing, the sound that was said to be killing a pig was still here and there, but the sound was like the end of a strong crossbow, and it was weak. She smiled disdainfully, sat down in the chair by the door, and half of her coat was peeled off, revealing her white and tender shoulders and fanning herself.

Hao Tianbao on the side looked at her like that, swallowed hard, Cuilian turned around and threw a wink at the fat head, and the fat head finally couldn't help but stand up and walk over, and was about to close the door.

"Don't, it's such a hot day, don't you close the door to heat me to death?"

"How can you not close the door? Look at the people coming and going in front of this door. Hao Tianbao's eyes stared at the looming chest under Cuilian's clothes, and he was about to close the door again.

"Look at your anxious look, don't forget that the people in the East Wing are still giving birth to you! It's been a long time since I was born and I haven't been born, and people have been married to you for more than ten years, and how many medicines have you taken to conceive this seed, you still have to pay attention to it. ”

When Hao Tianbao heard Cuilian say this, his fat head drooped, and he sat next to Cuilian like mud, and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, don't think about it, you can't wait for you in the room at night! It's so hot now, and I'm going to take a shower when I'm done. But who has time to give you a hot bath at this time? ”

"It's still my Dilian'er who is intimate, and she knows that she loves me!"

"That is, why don't I still be a maid in this garden today?" After all, the charming smile is quite heartwarming.

——————————————————————

Meng Tianchu was a little dizzy from the osmanthus wine brewed by Feiyan, and tilted his head to lean on Xia Fengyi's body. Xia Fengyi fell in love with him and leaned on him like this, and after a while. Meng Tianchu let out an even, long snoring sound.

Feiyan looked at Meng Tianchu's innocent appearance, and whispered to Xia Fengyi, "Grandma." Otherwise, we will help the young master back to the room to sleep, although the weather is the coolest outside, but mosquitoes love to bite him the most. ”

"If it's out of the way, let him sleep like this. You also know that he can't sleep for long like this, where can he get drunk with this little wine in the past, but today everyone drinks with him. I think I drank a little bit, and I should wake up after a while. ”

Feiyan saw Xia Fengyi's insistence, so she didn't say anything anymore, and walked to the well to get the watermelon.

The family was eating cool and sweet watermelon around the table, and the porter Han's mother hurriedly came in and said, "Young grandma, Yamen Song Zhu is coming soon, saying that there is something urgent." ”

Xia Fengyi said: "Look, you know that your young master has no life to sleep." I think there's another case. Let him in. ”

After Song Xiangyu came in, he saw that Meng Tianchu was sleeping soundly on Xia Fengyi's shoulder, and looked at Xia Fengyi with some embarrassment.

Xia Fengyi put the cold hand that had just taken the watermelon field on Meng Tianchu's forehead, and Meng Tianchu's eyes opened when he was so frozen.

Song Xiangyu hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep." There was a life lawsuit in Fengtian Village in the west of the city, and just now a person named Wu Lai reported the case, saying that his sister was killed by a local stable woman, and one corpse and two lives. The county magistrate said that the criminal cases have been handed over to you to deal with, and you have to work hard to see what is going on. The lord said that if it is a murder case, I will entrust you to file a case and solve it. ”

"This old man Cai is really lazy! Everything was pushed to me, and he was at ease. Meng Tianchu picked up a piece of watermelon and muttered vaguely while nibbling on it. "Alas. This great festival does not make people live in peace. ”

Feiyan heard the latter sentence clearly, and echoed: "Yes." It's pitiful that such a thing happened at such a holiday! Handing Song Xiangyu a piece of cut watermelon, Song Xiangyu thanked him, and then took it, a piece of watermelon on such a hot day is really a relief from the heat.

"Feiyan, what you said is so cute, I don't know if there is a law that says that the dead are not allowed during the holidays! Besides, even if there is such a rule, then the Lord of Hades wants to accept him, and we can't keep it. Meng Tianchu chewed watermelon to relieve hangover, and chewed the skin of his mouth with Feiyan.

Xia Fengyi instructed Feiyan to bring him an ice towel for him to wipe his face, and he felt much more sober.

"Alright, let's go. Human life is a matter of heaven, what are you talking about here! Xia Fengyi said angrily.

"Alright, let's go. Or my lady is more professional than me! Meng Tianchu stood up with a smile and walked to the door, and Song Xiangyu hurriedly followed.

"Did Yuki scream? What about the king catching the head? Meng Tianchu asked.

"We're all waiting at the yamen!" Song Xiangyu hurriedly replied.

"You're still very fast today!"

"Thank you for the compliment, that's what you should do, or you should be scolded. Song Xiangyu said curtly.

Haofu, Fengtian Village, Renhe County.

Hao Tianbao squatted on the stone steps in front of the hall, and at this moment, he couldn't find a trace of the superiority and arrogance of a wealthy businessman on his face.

The subordinates began to set up the hall as a mourning hall, Hao Tianbao's housekeeper Zhenjiang is a capable man in his forties, who has been working diligently in Hao Tianbao's house for 20 years, and at this moment, he is directing the subordinates to report the funeral and buy things. Seeing Hao Tianbao sitting on the stone steps, he came over and said comfortingly: "Master, by the way!" If you sit like this, your body will not be able to bear it! ”

Hao Tianbao shook his head, sighed, stood up, his body shook a little, and Zhenjiang hurriedly held on.

"Alas! My Hao family has always been a prosperous family, is it possible that in my generation, it is actually going to be the last generation? Oh my God, how can you be so unfair! ”

Zhenjiang helped Hao Tianbao into the hall and sat down, comforting: "Master." Don't think so much, you're still young, and your second grandmother has just passed the door, waiting to pass on your ancestry. ”

Hao Tianbao just shook his head and didn't speak.

Cuilian, who was standing in the west wing not far away, leaned against the door, as if watching the excitement, and saw that the people were busy, snorting melon seeds in their mouths. It looks very laid-back.

At this time, a subordinate came to report. It was said that someone from the government had come.

Hao Tianbao stood up with a blank face: "What is the government doing here?" ”

…………

When Meng Tianchu, Murong Zhenxue, Wang Yi, Song Xiangyu and more than a dozen people came to Fengtian Village, it was already completely dark, and the informant Wu Lai was chattering and crying all the way, saying how his sister was wronged in this Hao Tianbao family, how she was bullied by the charming concubine, and how she died unjustly.

It was easy to get to the place where Hao Tianbao lived. Although this is only a village, this village is a well-known and wealthy village because it is not far from the city of Hangzhou, and many families in this village are doing business.

Wang Zhutou found the village and brought him to Hao's mansion.

Meng Tianchu stood in front of Hao Tianbao's mansion and looked at it, and Murong Zhenxue said on the side: "Master, this mansion is so magnificent, it is not inferior to our Yamen at all. ”

Meng Tianchu sneered. He said to Murong Yuxue in a low voice: "You can only say this in front of me, if you let our old man Cai Zhixian Cai know, you still have it?" ”

"Hehe, you also said that I, master, you still call someone old man Cai. ”

At this time, Wang Zhutou had already stepped forward to report. Hao Tianbao came out in a panic.

As soon as the informant Wu Lai saw Hao Tianbao, he cried and rushed up and grabbed the collar of his clothes and was about to fight hard: "You who killed a thousand knives, you still want my sister to come, I want my sister to be a cow and a horse in your Hao family for more than ten years, and now not only has I found a young woman to anger my sister enough, but also to kill her, you are so vicious!" ”

Hao Tianbao thought that he hadn't come back to his senses yet, and was suddenly frightened by the appearance of the person in front of him, and let him shake.

"Stop! I haven't figured it out, so don't mess around! Meng Tianchu stepped forward and shouted.

Wu Lai let go. It's just that he is still scolding dryly.

Meng Tianchu listened to Wu Lai's words. knew that the man who was as fat as a pig standing in front of him was Hao Tianbao, that is, the person Wu Lai wanted to sue.

Meng Tianchu said in a deep voice: "Hao Yuanwai." The contemptible person is Meng Tianchu, the famous criminal master of Renhe County, and this Wu came to report to the official that you killed his sister, that is, your mother, and the county master ordered the contemptible person to come and solve the case. ”

Hao Tianbao felt weak, pointed at Wu Lai, and said in a choked voice: "If your sister is dead, you will sue me?" So who am I suing? It's not that I killed my lady, what are you suing me for? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Whether you killed it or not, this master will naturally find out." Take us to the scene of the murder. ”

Hao Tianbao hurriedly took them to the east wing, which was the room of Hao Tianbao's wife, Wu Xiaomei.

The house had been cleared, but a great smell of blood could still be heard, and the deceased had been cleaned, ready to be buried, and was still parked on his bed.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and carefully looked at the woman lying on the bed as if she was asleep.

"I really can't see that this Hao Tianbao is not shallow, this woman really looks a little good. Wang Yi sighed in a low voice on the side.

Meng Tianchu nodded: "Yes, it's just that he died early." ”

"It's not too early, it looks like this woman is almost forty. ”

"Yes, giving birth at this age is very risky. ”

Murong Zhenxue had already prepared the pen and ink, waiting for Meng Tianchu to start working at any time.

Meng Tianchu first conducted a body surface examination and found no obvious traumatic wounds.

When the deceased Wu Xiaomei died, Yahuan called Yahuan at the venue to inquire about the process, and learned that Wu Xiaomei had a difficult birth at that time and had not given birth for a long time.

Induced labor by compression? Meng Tianchu frowned and muttered, this must be skillful, otherwise it is easy to cause heavy bleeding or lead to fetal suffocation and other medical liability accidents.

Is it the hemorrhage caused by the accident?

Meng Tianchu pondered for a moment and called Hao Tianbao over: "Since someone has sued the official that you have murdered, the contemptible person must find out the real cause of your mother's death." Because your mother and son died of hemorrhage, there are many reasons for hemorrhage, there are many reasons for her own body, there are also improper external forces, or deliberately caused by it, in short, the cause of death is not clear, the possibility of murder cannot be ruled out. Do you understand? ”

"The villain understands," although Hao Tianbao is a rich man, he is only a rich man in the countryside, and he is still very afraid of officials, so he nodded and said with a smile.
