Shi Murong Xue came out of the room, looked at Meng Tianchu, and then nodded slightly.

Meng Tianchu had a bottom in his heart, so he said: "That's good to beat people, I'll leave first, and if there is any progress, we will notify the adults." ”

A few people walked downstairs, and Meng Tianchu saw the doorkeeper standing at the door, so he asked, "Did you go to the yamen to report the case?" ”

The subordinate replied respectfully: "If you go back to the master, it is the small one. ”

"What did you say to the people in the yamen?"

"When I go back to my master's words, I will say that my young lady is dead, and my master asked someone from the yamen to come to my house to have a look."

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "How did your master explain it to you?" ”

The subordinate timidly looked at Wu Zhe behind Meng Tianchu, and then said, "I... My lord went upstairs to the young lady and asked the young lady to come downstairs, saying that it was cool in the yard and asked her to come down and embroider..."

Wu Zhe lowered his face and scolded: "You will answer whatever the master asks you, what nonsense are you talking about there?" ”

"Yes, sir. My lord told me that he had found the young lady dead in the house, and asked me to go to the yamen and call someone to come quickly. ”

Meng Tianchu knew that Wu Zhe was there, and he didn't want to ask why, so he just turned around and said goodbye to Wu Zhe.

After walking a few steps, Meng Tianchu turned around and saw that Wu Zhe was standing at the door and had not yet entered the door, so he asked casually: "My lord, what is the name of Ling Yan's personal maid?" ”

Wu Zhe didn't react coldly, and replied casually: "Chrysanthemum"

Meng Tianchu said goodbye again and was about to leave.

Wu Zhe: "Master Meng." I hope you will take the death of the little girl seriously, and I don't want her to die unclear and unclear. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, let Wu Zhe stay, and then left the Wu family with people.

On the way back to Yamen, everyone was very depressed.

Murong Zhenxue: "This old man Wu Zhe is so strange, you see that he is obviously a dead girl but he didn't see him crying, and the next person is also very indifferent." If others see it, they think it's someone else's daughter who died. It has nothing to do with their Wu family. ”

Wang Yi: "This is not the strangest thing. It's funny that he's so sure that his daughter committed suicide, and that he wants us to find out who forced his daughter to commit suicide. Didn't he say that his daughter would stay at home? Who in the family would force their daughter to die? ”

Meng Tianchu also felt that this old man Wu Zhe's behavior was a little strange, and it was a little different from ordinary people, and suddenly remembered that Murong Zhenxue was checking the situation in the room, so he said, "Zhenxue said that you checked the situation after the inspection." ”

Murong Zhenxue: "There are no scars on the surface of the body, and there are no signs of poisoning. And I also looked at it, judging from the marks on his neck, he was indeed hanged, and..."Murong Zhenxue walked up to Meng Tianchu and whispered a few words, Meng Tianchu said in surprise: "You even checked that?" ”

Murong Yuxue covered her mouth and snickered a few times and nodded.

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but nodded approvingly, Wu Zhe was present just now, and it was inconvenient for him to explain to Murong Yuxue what he needed to check. Then Wu Zhe must be angry. Desperately with himself, saying that he had insulted the little girl's name festival and so on, but fortunately, Murong Yuxue had been with him for a long time after all. Although she is still a girl, she dares to try, is eager to learn, and does not miss the examination of some key parts.

Hearing Murong Zhenxue say this, the daughter of the Wu family is still innocent.

Chai Meng: "Then Wu Zhe is really arrogant, don't say whether the scenery is beautiful or not, now he is still clear about the truth of people taking tea and cooling, what to drag, if it weren't for Meng Ye, I..."

Meng Tianchu laughed a few times, patted Chai Meng's shoulder, and said, "Forget it, forget it, after all, it's the daughter who died, and I'm in a bad mood, and besides, the four of us were choked by him, so don't mind." ”

Chai Meng thought to himself that he was a foreman in the East Factory, and those who didn't know naturally didn't know how majestic this foreman was, but he knew that some people had been mixing with their heads in the East Factory for a lifetime, and they didn't necessarily say that they were nothing, but Meng Tianchu was only in his early twenties, and he was even one or two years younger than himself, and he was already the number one person in Hangzhou East Factory. Thinking of this, he paid more respect to Meng Tianchu, and said respectfully: "It's still Meng Ye, you have a good temper, next time he treats you like this, I will throw him directly downstairs." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

As he was talking, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in front of her, chubby, with two layers of chin, and a boy of about nine or ten years old next to her, but she looked very thin, and the two of them walked this way with a smile and a smile.

Murong Yuxue touched Meng Tianchu with her elbow, Meng Tianchu understood, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Bao'er, is school out so early?" ”

Bao'er saw that the four people on the other side didn't know each other, so she hid behind the girl, and the girl also looked at Meng Tianchu and them vigilantly, and took the boy to take a detour.

Murong Xue said: "Chrysanthemum, we also just came out of your house, and it was your master who asked us to go to your house." ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she waved her hand again and again, and Bao'er saw that Chrysanthemum's expression had changed, so she asked, "Sister Chrysanthemum, what are you doing?" Do you know these older siblings? ”

Meng Tianchu knew that Chrysanthemum must not have told Bao'er that something had happened at home, otherwise Bao'er would not have come over with a smile along the way.

Meng Tianchu looked at Chrysanthemum, then walked up to Bao'er and said kindly: "Naturally, we know, otherwise how would we know that your name is Bao'er, her name is Chrysanthemum, and she is your sister's personal maid?" ”

Bao'er thought about it and felt that what she said was true, so she nodded, and she was not so afraid.

"What are you doing at our house? It's been a long time since our family has been a guest? Why don't you wait for me to come back? ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "We still have something, so we can't wait for you to go home, how about next time?" ”

Chrysanthemum tugged at Bao'er's sleeve and said, "Young Master, let's hurry home." It's late, it's time for the lord to hit someone. ”

Bao'er was happy to see that Meng Tianchu was a guest at home, so she was willing to go, broke off Chrysanthemum's hand, and said angrily: "Whenever my sister comes to pick me up, she never urges me, let my sister pick me up next time." ”

The corners of Meng Tianchu's mouth twitched, revealing a sly smile, and he looked at Murong

The three of us. Then he said, "Isn't your sister very happy when she picks you up from school on weekdays?" ”

"That's right. My sister loves me the most, and she buys me candy to eat, and sometimes she invites other partners from our private school to eat it together. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then if my sister gets married one day, is it reluctant for Bao'er to separate from my sister?" ”

Bao'er: "My sister said that she won't get married, she will guard her father and mother and me for the rest of her life." ”

Chrysanthemum said: "Young master, please. It's not very good, let's not make the old man angry. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, Bao'er listen to Sister Chrysanthemum's words and go back, and my brother will come to play with you again in the future." ”

Bao'er was a little reluctant, but she was also afraid that her father would be angry, and she heard Chrysanthemum say that her father was in a bad mood. So he obediently said goodbye to Meng Tianchu and them. Then went home.

Chai Meng said: "This Wu Zhe is lying. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Yes, I think the reason why he asked us to find out the murderer is probably what he knows." ”

Murong Zhenxue: "Then he doesn't know it?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Maybe it's because I can't say it." That's why it makes us feel weird, wait..."

Meng Tianchu hurriedly asked Chai Meng to call Chrysanthemum to stop them, and then asked Chai Meng to take Bao'er to buy candy man, he knew that there were some things that had to be asked to Chrysanthemum now, otherwise he would ask again after today, either he would not tell the truth, or he would not be silent at all.

Meng Tianchu saw that Chrysanthemum was very nervous, so he smiled and said, "I just want to ask you a few words and I'll let you go back, okay?" ”

Chrysanthemum snorted, "You... What are you going to ask me? ”

Wang Yi said on the side: "It's Master Meng of the Yamen who is asking you, you have to call Meng Ye, don't want you to me." ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Chrysanthemum looked even more scared, so he said softly: "Don't get in the way, I just ask you, after Miss woke up from sleep at noon, have you been waiting by your side?" ”

"It's... Yes. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Tell me what you saw?" ”

"Chrysanthemum waited for Miss to wake up, and then waited for Miss to wash her face, she hadn't finished washing, so she said it was too hot, so she went to open the window, and I was cleaning up the bed for Miss at the time, so I didn't rush to open it."

"And then?"

Chrysanthemum bit her lip, looked at Meng Tianchu secretly, and said for a long time: "Miss opened the window, suddenly screamed, and then squatted on the ground, I hurried over, walked to the window and looked, I didn't see anything, but I saw Bao'er's husband enter the courtyard of the private school from the back door of the alley." ”

"Mr. Boa?"

Chrysanthemum nodded.

"How old is Bo'er's husband, and does he know your young lady?"

"It's a shriveled old man, he's a good person, and it's good for Bao'er, my young lady often goes to pick up Bao'er and says hello to Mr., so I know him."

"When you saw him, did he see you?"

Chrysanthemum shook her head: "No, I just saw a back, because I go to pick up Bao'er every day, so even the back is known." ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a moment, and then said, "How do you feel about the young lady's mood in the past two days?" Is there anything upset? ”

"No, Miss Morning is still practicing calligraphy with me in the yard, and I don't see any displeasure in her."

"Isn't that young lady married yet?"

"I told you, don't tell the master that it was Chrysanthemum who told Meng Ye."

Meng Tianchu nodded resolutely.

"A year ago, I was going to set a family, and I was the son of an official family in Hangzhou Mansion, but Miss heard that the person didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he ate and drank all day long, and his appearance was also very ugly, so he forced him to die, saying that if he was determined, he would die to show the lord and his wife, and the lord and his wife got married for ten years before they got Miss, and ten years later they got Bao'er, so they were very pampered on weekdays, so they were very pampered, so forget it, and then whoever proposed to marry again, Miss pushed that she was still young and didn't want to marry, so forget it."

Meng Tianchu: "Didn't the old man invite a gentleman to come back to teach the young lady to write?" ”

"Once upon a time, there was one, originally said to teach Bao'er, and the master asked the young lady to learn together, and then the gentleman taught for less than a year, and died of a cold."

"How old is the gentleman?"

"I don't know, anyway, it's older than my master."

At this time, Chai Meng came back with Bao'er, and Bao'er jumped happily to the ground, still holding two sugar men in her hands.

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, Chrysanthemum hurry up and take Bao'er home." ”

After hearing this, Chrysanthemum hurriedly took Bao'er's hand and went home, as if she had received amnesty.

Chai Meng said: "I asked Bao'er just now, his sister seems to really stay at home except for occasionally picking him up, usually stay at home, don't go anywhere, even her mother went to the temple to incense, she felt that there were too many people, saying that men and women are not shy about it, and occasionally there are good people who take advantage of more people to catch your hand or something, so his sister doesn't go." ”

Meng Tianchu: "It seems that she is really a clean and self-righteous woman, I listened to what the chrysanthemum said, and I probably already have a score in my heart, go, go outside to the private school to have a look." ”

After a while, a few people came to the door of the private school, and saw that a person who looked like a person had just swept the ground at the door, took a broom and was about to enter the door.

Wang Yi: "Is Mr. here?" ”

The subordinate shook his head nervously and said, "Mr. is a little uncomfortable today, and he left early after school." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Uncomfortable? ”

Subordinate: "Yes, I see that Mr. is also in a trance, and his face is very bad, when he went out just now, he didn't even cross the threshold, and he fell a foot, you see, right here, or I helped Mr. up." ”

Meng Tianchu and the others looked in the direction pointed by the subordinate, but in fact, the threshold was not high, and it seemed that the gentleman was really uncomfortable.

Meng Tianchu: "How is the health of Mr. on weekdays?" ”

"It's fine"

"What do you think of your husband's people, who are good to the dolls and to you?"

"What are you asking for?"
