The rain was heavier, and on the roofs and streets, a layer of white rain and mist was splashed, like an ethereal white veil. At this moment, a gust of wind blew violently, and the white veil drifted away, and the raindrops hit the stagnant water on the street, stirring up a splash.

Suddenly, a north wind blew, and a dark cloud rushed from the northern sky, mixed with lightning and thunder. In an instant, the wind blew fiercely, dark clouds filled the sky, and then bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, and the windows crackled. Another thunderbolt, deafening. Suddenly, the raindrops were connected into a line, and with a bang, the heavy rain sloped down from the sky as if the sky had fallen.

The night was late, the clouds were thick, thunder was thundering one after another, and lightning flashed in the sky. The wind was blowing so hard that the branches of the trees were rattling with the wind, and in an instant, a downpour fell.

Meng Tianchu was lying on his back, his mind was very chaotic, countless figures appeared and disappeared back and forth in his mind, making Meng Tianchu's head hurt, he didn't feel sleepy at all, although he liked to sleep when it was raining, but at this moment, he couldn't sleep, where was a big question mark in his mind, who was the murderer?

"Tianchu, have you slept?"

It was Zuo Jiayin's voice, Meng Tianchu got up and said, "No, come in." ”

The door opened, Zuo Jiayin came in with a smile and some things, and the maid with the umbrella stepped back and closed the door.

Zuo Jiayin seemed to be in a good mood, and his steps were also extremely brisk, walking to Meng Tianchu's recliner with something and sitting directly beside him, Meng Tianchu put his hand on Zuo Jiayin's soft waist and said softly: "Look, what good thing I brought you over?" ”

Meng Tianchu raised his body and looked at the things on the plate, but it was just a man's belly pocket. Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Jiayin, are you worried that I will catch a cold, so you sewed such a thing for me?" Wouldn't it be a belly laugh when people saw it? ”

Zuo Jiayin gently patted Meng Tianchu's hand, and said softly: "Don't underestimate this thing, let me tell you, this is not an ordinary belly pocket, it is useful." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I won't laugh." Tell me what's the use. ”

Zuo Jiayin picked up this belly pocket and put it on Meng Tianchu's stomach and said, "This is what my master asked someone to send to me a few days ago. It is said that a warlock from the Western Regions sewed it with a light silk thread, which is not usually used as a thread, but something that is refined from gold. It is said that it can resist the attack of swords and arrows, and it will not hurt people's bodies. ”

Meng Tianchu really couldn't help but smile this time, seeing Zuo Jiayin's serious face. Said: "What Western Regions warlock, what silk threads refined in gold, you and your master believe in these?" ”

Zuo Jiayin saw Meng Tianchu smiling and leaning forwards and backwards. was a little angry and said, "People have been thinking for several days to come up with such a method, but you not only don't appreciate it, but you even laugh at me, I ignore you." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly pulled Zuo Jiayin and said, "Okay, don't be angry, I'm wrong?" ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled at this time. Put the belly pocket on Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu had no choice but to toss according to Zuo Jiayin first, after all, people were kind. Besides, I'm afraid that Zuo Jiayin is really annoyed, then it's troublesome.

After putting on Meng Tianchu's belly pocket, Zuo Jiayin got up and took a good look, but he laughed, Meng Tianchu: "What's the matter?" Do you know it's not good-looking now? ”

Zuo Jiayin: "No, it's because it's the first time I saw you wearing a belly pocket, I felt very funny, I couldn't help it, hehehehe..."

Meng Tianchu got up and walked to the bronze mirror to take a look, and in the mirror, a tall and handsome man was wearing a small belly pocket in blue color, and the most annoying thing was that there was a small flower embroidered on the belly pocket.

Meng Tianchu was angry and funny, and was about to take it off, but Zuo Jiayin stopped him and said, "From today onwards, you can't take off such things for me except for taking a bath." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Okay, you give me that knife." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "What, you don't believe it, you want to give it a try?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "How can you know how amazing this thing is if you don't try, and let you see it for a long time, hurry up." Someone suddenly spoke outside the door, and when he heard Chai Meng's voice carefully, Zuo Jiayin whispered: "This Chai Meng will be the groom's official tomorrow, and he won't sleep at this time?" ”

Meng Tianchu didn't have time to take it off, so he had to put on his coat first and whispered: "When I married you back then, I couldn't sleep all night, which is understandable. ”

Zuo Jiayin punched Meng Tianchu shyly, and said coquettishly: "I hate it." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't hold back a laugh, quickly got dressed, and motioned to Zuo Jiayin to open the door.

Chai Meng's body was almost wet, and he rushed in only to find that Zuo Jiayin was also there, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Jiayin hurry up and get a piece of my clothes for Chai Meng, it will catch a cold, Chai Meng come, sit in front of the brazier, Zuo Jiayin asked the people on duty at night to bring Chai Meng some hot supper." ”

Chai Meng was embarrassed and said, "Third lady, don't bother." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "You talk, if there is anything troublesome, I will come when I go." ”

The door closed, Chai Meng took off his wet padded jacket, revealing a strong muscle, Meng Tianchu: "Where did you go, how did you get wet like this?" ”

Chai Meng couldn't help but sneeze and said with a smile: "Follow Wu Min away." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Look at you, just let the dragon slayer go, you will be the groom's official tomorrow, what are you going to do tonight?" ”

Chai Meng smiled, someone knocked on the door, Chai Meng was about to put on the wet clothes, when he heard that it was a man, this is it, walked to the door to see, only to see a subordinate take two clothes, said: "The third lady said that she is not coming, let me send the clothes." ”

Chai Meng took the clothes, closed the door, and Meng Tianchu said: "It just so happens that I have some pills here, you hurry up and take one, don't get sick." ”

Chai Meng got dressed and said, "This is not in a hurry, let's talk about Wu Min to the adults first." ”

Meng Tianchu took out a bottle from the bookshelf and poured out a pill. handed it to Chai Meng and said, "I'm not in a hurry to eat the mushroom, I'll talk about it after eating." ”

Chai Meng took it and put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "My lord, Wu Min went to Defu Silk Village again." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Continue"

Chai Meng: "But this time the strange thing is that he didn't go to look for the woman, but only squatted under the woman's window for a while, and then left." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Probably Li Defu is in the house." So it's not good for him to get in. ”

Chai Meng: "I thought the same way before, but later I found out that Li Defu was not in his wife's room. It's next door. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Since I didn't go in, nothing should have happened." ”

Chai Meng: "Wu Min didn't go home directly when he came out of Defu Silk Village, but went to a dark kiln in all directions, and I saw that he seemed to be very familiar with the people in the dark kiln. ”

Meng Tianchu: "It seems that this Wu Min is still restless." And I am very familiar with Hangzhou. ”

Chai Meng: "I think so too, I heard that Lao He Tou made Wu Min seem to be eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling or something." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then how did he hook up with the woman in charge of Li's shopkeeper, I see that woman doesn't look like a frivolous person." ”

Chai Meng pursed his lips. "We don't necessarily see this kind of thing. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, you can go back and rest." Tomorrow will be enough for you. ”

Chai Meng was a little embarrassed and didn't want to go, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Nervous? ”

Chai Meng laughed twice and said, "Actually, I think Liu'er is quite good, but I heard that she and Mr. He..."

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he solemnly patted Chai Meng's shoulder and said, "We often use one sentence to alert ourselves to the relationship with our subordinates. To use one person is to trust the other person 100 percent. In fact, like marriage, trust is more important than anything else. She married you, it was already a full stop, besides, if she was not good, we would not have said her to you so rashly, you and Dragon Slayer are my most powerful assistants, I naturally want you to be happy, do you know what I mean? ”

Chai Meng: "I firmly believe in this, but some..."

Meng Tianchu: "It's too late, just say don't now, you will hurt a girl's sincerity, besides, I think you also know the truth of the accumulation of gold and destroying bones, those legendary things, we need to verify before we can believe it, if she is really bad, you won't be too late to take a break from her, what do you say?" ”

Chai Meng thought for a while and said, "My lord, I understand, okay, my subordinates have left." ”

Meng Tianchu suddenly remembered something, and said, "Do you have a knife on you?" ”

Chai Meng was puzzled and said, "There is a short knife and a dagger, what are you going to do?" ”

Meng Tianchu untied his clothes, Chai Meng saw the belly pocket, he was stunned at first, and then laughed, Meng Tianchu hurriedly signaled Chai Meng to be quieter, and said: "Don't laugh, take out your short knife and dagger for me, and stab me fiercely in my belly pocket." ”

Chai Meng couldn't help laughing and said, "Who gave this to the adult, the adult hates it so much, just take it off and throw it away, where is the reason why you wear me to stab." ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it and was still a little worried about the role of this belly pocket, so he took it off and hung it on the hanger, and said to Chai Meng: "Now you can stab, remember to use harder, harder." ”

Chai Meng didn't understand why Meng Tianchu did this himself, but since his master had ordered him to do so, Chai Meng took out a sharp dagger from his boots and stabbed it fiercely into his belly pocket.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, and saw that the cotton cloth in front of the belly pocket was rotten, he picked it up and turned the belly pocket over to take a look, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the back of the belly pocket was not damaged at all, Chai Meng also saw it, and said curiously: "My lord, what kind of strange thing is this belly pocket, why can I not break this thin belly pocket with such a sharp dagger?" ”

Meng Tianchu himself took the dagger in Chai Meng's hand, then put his belly pocket on the bed, and then stabbed it hard, the dagger seemed to have encountered some strong resistance, Meng Tianchu's hand stopped, he picked up his belly pocket, and said with a smile: "Chai Meng, this is Jiayin brought it to me, saying that it is invulnerable, I still don't believe it, why don't you stab that spear and take a look?" ”

Chai Meng smiled and said, "It's really a good object, but I think it's better to forget it." If the third lady sees us stabbing her belly pocket like this, and doesn't settle accounts with me, let me tell you, this dagger of mine was given to me by my master back then, and I have always stayed by my side, in fact, this dagger is already very telling. ”

Meng Tianchu didn't believe it, Chai Meng picked up the tongs and said, "My lord." You watch. After speaking, he picked up the dagger and looked at the fire tongs violently, and sure enough, the fire tongs were cut off by the dagger. Meng Tianchu finally believed it, took a good look at the belly pocket that had been punctured by himself, and said with a smile: "Okay." Let's let Jiayin sew it for me again, it's already funny for a big man to wear a belly pocket, and it's even more ridiculous to wear a belly pocket with holes everywhere. ”

Chai Meng: "The third lady is really good to adults. The subordinates are really envious to death. ”

Meng Tianchu patted Chai Meng and said, "Happiness is in your own hands." No one else can take it away, as long as you believe in yourself. ”

Chai Meng went out as if he didn't understand, Meng Tianchu looked out of the door, the sky was already clear, only one or two dripping water sounds could occasionally be heard in the puddle under the eaves, hoping that there would be a sun tomorrow, Meng Tianchu thought so.

It was the night of the second day of Chai Meng and Liu Er's wedding. Wu Min is missing. At the time, I thought he had drunk a few more glasses, and no one paid much attention to it. And the house is the busiest time, no one will care too much about the disappearance of this carpenter, until the next morning, the next morning, the house to carry water to the courtyards of the subordinate Ah Fu found the stiff Wu Min next to the well.

Meng Tianchu asked Tu Long to inform Wang Yi, and then he and Xiaonuo brought their own tools, the well had been fenced off, and everyone was talking about it, fortunately, it was not good to die in the well, or it would be bad to find someone to dig another new well in the New Year.

Meng Tianchu walked to Wu Min's side, and saw Wu Min lying on his back, still holding a wine jug in his right hand, and there was a pile of vomit beside him, and the vomit was colored with some yellow and yellow-green things, like bile, because there was really no rain and snow on the first day, although there was no sun, but this was also good weather, so Wu Mindi's body was moist and not wet.

Meng Tianchu looked at Wu Min's eyes, and found no signs of poisoning, only a little bloodshot at the corner of his mouth, his clothes were neat, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open, as if he had seen something terrible, and he looked very terrifying.

Meng Tianchu untied Wu Mindi's clothes and found no injuries on his body.

Xiao Nuo squatted down and carefully looked at Wu Min's neck and the back of his head, but there were no strangulation marks or marks from being hit by heavy objects.

When Wang Yi came, Meng Tianchu got up and said, "Send it to the government mortuary first, and Xiaonuo and I will arrive immediately." ”

Wang Yi whispered: "What do you think will cause your death?" ”

Meng Tianchu took off his gloves and said, "From the current point of view, I can't see what the reason for his death is, and it will only be clear after sending it to the mortuary to dissect the deceased." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yi hurriedly took people away. Meng Tianchu was about to leave, when he saw Zuo Jiayin coming over and said, "Do you want to tell your subordinates not to drink the water that was sent to the various courtyards today, what if the water is poisonous?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "This is easy to do, you ask someone to fetch some water from the well to feed the chickens and ducks at home first, if there is no problem in twelve hours, you can drink, and today you can temporarily go to the outside of the house to find water." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Yes, I know." Then Zuo Jiayin walked up to Meng Tianchu and whispered: "Remember my words, you can't let me take off the belly pocket that I made for you, you know?" ”

Meng Tianchu listened, patted his stomach, and Zuo Jiayin smiled.

Mansion mortuary.

Wu Min had already made Meng Tianchu disembowel, and a foul smell made Meng Tianchu frown, while Xiao Nuo couldn't help but take a few steps back and complained: "This Wu Min doesn't know what he eats, why is it so stinky?" ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for Xiao Nuo to approach, pointed to the corpse and said, "Let you see why he makes us so disgusting."

Xiao Nuo turned his face away and said, "Don't let me see, I haven't seen such bloody things recently, and I feel disgusting when I see them." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Judging from the corpse spots of the corpse, the time of the deceased's death should be around last night, and the deceased's heart and liver were not poisoned, the only thing that is puzzling is that the deceased's stomach is very erosive, and it is really strange that he has been dead for at least half a month in such weather." ”

Xiao Nuo heard Meng Tianchu say this, so he covered his nose and stepped forward to take a look, pointed to some black marks on the deceased's intestines, and said, "Tianchu." What is it? ”

Meng Tianchu looked at it with tweezers, shook his head, and said, "I found something black and shiny, what is it at this time, could it be intestinal stones or stomach stones?" ”

Xiaonuo: "I don't know about this, but I can go back and ask Jiawen." ”

Meng Tianchu found some undigested food in the stomach of the deceased, and the deceased should have drunk a lot of wine before he died, but it should not have died of alcohol poisoning.

Meng Tianchu decided to put those black shiny crystals and food on a plate and take them back for examination.

It was on the third day after Wu Min's death. The mysterious man put a letter in Meng Tianchu's study, which was ridiculous. Meng Tianchu had been in the study at the time, but he was sleepy for a while and took a nap. When I woke up, I had a letter in front of me.

It's still a note, and the handwriting is still the same. This time there are only five words: Defu Silk Village.

Meng Tianchu thought for a long time with the note, and asked people to call for the dragon slayer.

Slaying Long looked at the note in Meng Tianchu's hand. Said: "My lord, is there really a new land instruction?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "I don't know where this person wants to lead us by the nose, but the feeling tells me that he didn't confuse our thoughts." ”

Tu Long: "Does this person mean that the clues picked up by Xi are in Defu Silk Village or is Wu Mindi's death related to the people in Defu Silk Village?" ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for Dragon Slayer to come to his side, whispered a few words in Dragon Slayer's ear, and Dragon Slayer nodded frequently, saying, "My subordinates will do it." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded. said: "In addition, you ask the third lady to come to me." ”

The dragon slay went down. After a while, Zuo Jiayin came.

Meng Tianchu took out a small disc and walked to Zuo Jiayin's side: "Show me what this thing is?" ”

Zuo Jiayin took the plate and looked at it carefully. There were only a few sand-like grains in the saucer, but they were all shining, and I didn't know what they were.

Meng Tianchu shook his head when he saw Zuo Jiayin, and said, "Finally, you don't know the earth's things?" ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "I'm not an immortal, how can I know everything?" ”

Meng Tianchu pointed to the contents of the dish and said, "You usually use something that is not grass or flowers when you have land, and you also put some things like stones and mud into the bowl, do you think it will become like this after absorbing a part of it in the stomach and intestines?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Probably not." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Is it possible to have stomach stones?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "No, gastric stones are formed due to the infusion of certain animal and plant components, hair or certain metals and other things in the stomach that cannot be digested in time and coagulate into lumps, and the ones I have seen are generally persimmons, black dates, hawthorns and other things. At most, it is persimmon stomach stones, and the master used to disembowel a dead monkey, not like this, but a lumpy gel. ”

Meng Tianchu put the plate on the table and said, "I checked the food in Wu Min's stomach and found that there was nothing poisonous, but it was not excessive drinking. ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Could it be that he fell drunk and fell on the edge of the well and froze to death?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "No, people who freeze to death generally have erector pili muscles contracted all over their bodies, and the backs of their hands were swollen and ulcerated. The whole brain is highly edematous, there are large subepicardial hemorrhagic spots, and the blood in the heart is bright red and flowing. The liver is soft and yellow-stained. Diffuse bleeding in the gastric mucosa, none of which is obvious in Wu Min's body. And the person who dived found Wu Min at the end of the day, but in four hours, Wu Min would not freeze to death so soon. ”

Zuo Jiayin: "That day, Chu, you mean that this thing is doing trouble?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "I have dissected so many corpses, but this is the first time I have found such a thing in a person's stomach, and it is still awkward to touch. ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Why don't you find Liu'er to ask?" ”

Meng Tianchu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can just accompany me to Defu Silk Village." ”

Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin In addition to the door of the study, Feiyan and Xiaonuo came over with a smile, and Zuo Jiayin whispered: "How did you think about Ruofan's affairs?" Meng Tianchu: "I'll tell you later." ”

Xiaonuo and Feiyan approached and said, "I was about to look for you two." ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Find you two to play cards." ”

Meng Tianchu: "I'll go out with Jiayin, and I'll play with you when I come back." ”

Xiao Nuo said curiously: "Where we go, we will go too." ”

Feiyan hurriedly said; "Why don't we go to the kitchen and see if it's okay to make noodles for hair cakes at night, you're better at this than I am." Not without you. ”

Xiaonuo thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go, you guys come back quickly." Feiyan took Xiaonuo's hand and left, walked a few steps and turned around and winked at Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Feiyan, this girl is getting smarter and smarter." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Why don't you let Xiaonuo and them follow?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "No need, it's good to have you with you, let's go." ”

The two of them were about to go out, when they saw Liu Er, who was still in the newlywed period, hurriedly running towards them.

Defu Silk Village

Li Defu lazily leaned back on the recliner. Holding a Jingdezhen purple clay pot in his hand, the pot is just brewed with the tip of the hair. His eyes were slightly closed, the corners of his mouth squirmed slightly, and he looked very pleasant.

"Defoe. I'm asking you. ”

Li Defu opened one eye, looked at the woman standing opposite him, and pulled the corners of his mouth. He said with a smile: "Are you asking?" ”

"Am I not asking?"

Li Defu was furious by the person in front of him, and he stood up with a swipe on the ground. No one could have imagined that this fat man was so flexible at this time, the person opposite was startled, and before he could react, Li Defu put the purple clay pot in his arms on the table with a clatter, and the lid fell to the ground and immediately fell in half.

"Leng Xiaozhen, let me tell you. So many years. I've always put up with you and been polite to you everywhere. Don't think you can stand on my head and! ”

Leng Xiaozhen is none other than Li Defu's wife and Wu Min's concubine.

Leng Xiaozhen had never seen Li Defu get so angry, she was stunned at first, and then sneered: "Li Defu, you finally made me angry." ”

Li Defu snorted, kicked the lid of the pot on the ground to the corner of the wall, turned around and said, "Why can't I be angry with you?" Are you really that expensive? It's just a widow, a widow who no one dares to marry, I, Li Defu, work hard for you every day for this family, you are good, you even put such a big green hat on my head Li Defu, you still come to ask me? Phew, let me tell you, I didn't kill that adulterer in your land, and I don't bother to kill him, killing him will dirty my Li Defu's hands! ”

Leng Xiaozhen heard Li Defu say this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she stammered: "Defu, you... Who are you listening to, that's just a cousin from afar of mine, and he introduced me to you back then, how could he be..."

Li Defu looked at Leng Xiaozhen's handsome face and said, "Do you think I really only love the silver in my cash cabinet all day long?" I'm telling you, I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on you for a long time, and you've always complained that I don't have time for you, but isn't there still him? Do you remember the night six days ago? ”

Leng Xiaozhen couldn't help but take a step back, Li Defu sneered: "I was in front of the door of your room at the time, I heard every word he said to you, how about it, Leng Xiaozhen, no, I shouldn't call your name, because this name is fake, what is your real name, you should tell me this person who has been a public person for you for thirteen years, lest one day I let you die, I thought my lady's surname was Leng." ”

Leng Xiaozhen: "Defu you... What do you say, I don't have a surname Leng, what is my surname? ”

Li Defu: "I'll give you another chance, say, who are you, why did you come with Wu Min and the gang to cheat me out of the money?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen: "What are you talking about, when did I cheat your money with him and the guys?" ”

Li Defu smiled and said, "Leng Xiaozhen bought you for fifty taels of silver back then, you don't know, right?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen was stunned and said, "Defu, what did you say?" ”

Li Defu rushed to Leng Xiaozhen and grabbed her collar, his eyes were close to Leng Xiaozhen, as if he was about to breathe fire, and said: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, if you don't know, that is the man named Wu Min who sold you to me secretly, fortunately, I am okay to you, and I have not taken a concubine, but what about you, how did you treat me?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen's heart sank, and said, "Defu, your heart is not good, you must not be angry." Is there anything we have been married for more than ten years, can't we sit down and say it properly? ”

Li Defu didn't wait for Leng Xiaozhen to finish speaking, and slapped him, Leng Xiaozhen's heart felt like it had been whipped, and it made her eyebrows wrinkle in pain.

There was a child's voice outside the door, and he asked eagerly: "Mother, I am Tianjiao, do you open the door?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen didn't go over to open the door. Instead, he calmed himself down and said softly as much as possible: "Jiao'er obediently asked Uncle Liu to take you out to buy sugar gourds." Mother and your father talk about something. ”

"Mother, I heard my father beat you, you open the door."

Li Defu rushed to the door and opened the door. Then he grabbed Li Tianjiao like a chicken and threw him on the ground, and then closed the door.

Li Tianjiao immediately started crying, and Leng Xiaozhen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child. said to Li Defu: "What are you angry at me, what are you doing when you drop the child?" ”

Li Defu pointed to Li Tianjiao in Leng Xiaozhen's arms and said, "I'm a little skeptical now. This thing is not my Li Defu's species. ”

Leng Xiaozhen suddenly became hysterical when she heard this, and said loudly: "Li Defu, you are still not human?" Okay, you can even say such things, then I'll tell you that Tianjiao is not someone else's seed, or you Li Defu's seed. If you don't believe it. It's good to find someone to drip blood and confess your relatives, but I'll tell you. I won't stay in this house, I'm going to take Tianjiao away. ”

After saying that, Leng Xiaozhen rushed out with the child in her arms, Li Defu grabbed Leng Xiaozhen and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen glanced at Li Defu with tears in her eyes and said, "What do you care about me?" ”

Li Defu snorted and said, "You can't leave, I've already reported to the official." ”

Leng Xiaozhen immediately leaned against the wall when she heard this, and Li Defu said: "Don't blindly accuse me of being a minister, Wu Mindi has the champa and purse you gave him, and now the yamen is worried that he can't find the murderer, so can't he save them some time?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen: "Li Defu, I didn't expect you to be so vicious?" ”

Li Defu snorted: "Compared to you, what am I? Ha, since you don't want to tell me who you are, then let the people from the Yamen ask you, as for Tianjiao, I naturally want to find someone from the Yamen to give me a blood confession, not my Li Defu's species, why should I raise it, come here, tie up this poisonous woman and this child to me, and wait for Lord Meng and them to come. ”

Leng Xiaozhen suddenly knelt at Li Defu's feet and begged: "Defu, you and I are husband and wife after all, you can't do such a desperate thing, Jiao'er is your child, and I have always wanted to live a good life with you, there are some things I can't say in front of my children, but please give me a chance to explain." ”

Li Defu: "It's not that I didn't give you a chance to explain, it's that you don't say that your subordinates came in, I don't know if you should take your shopkeeper's wife and children away, Leng Xiaozhen said to your subordinates: "You take the children out now, I still have something to say to your shopkeeper." ”

The subordinate looked at Li Defu, saw him waved his hand, quickly took the young master away, and then closed the door.

Li Defu sat back in his chair and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Leng Xiaozhen stood up, walked to Li Defu's side, and said softly: "Defu, let me tell you, my surname is Du..."

There was a sudden noisy sound outside the door, Li Defu sighed, stood up, and said: "Xiaozhen, it's too late, I, Li Defu, have lived with you for thirteen years, and I don't even know what your surname is. ”

Leng Xiaozhen cried, and at this time the door opened, Wang Yi and several officials walked in, Li Defu turned around, faced the wall, and said sadly: "Bother Wang to catch her head and take her away." ”

Wang Yi: "Shopkeeper Li, our Master Meng is also here. ”

When Li Defu heard this, he quickly turned around and said in surprise: "Why is Master Meng here too?" ”

Wang Yi: "Lord Meng means that there is no need to escort Mrs. Ling to the mansion first, and it is the same if you ask if you have anything to say." ”

Li Defu: "What about adults? ”

Wang Yi: "Outside the door." ”

Li Defu hurriedly went out, and sure enough, he saw Meng Tianchu and Meng Tianchu's third wife, Zuo Jiayin, standing outside the door, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, Meng Tianchu helped Li Defu up, and said: "I heard Wang Zhutou say, saying that you suspect that your wife killed Wu Min, so I reported to the official, is that so?" ”

Li Defu nodded.

Meng Tianchu: "Let's go into the house and talk?" ”

Only then did Li Defu react and hurriedly welcomed Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin into the house.

Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin entered the room, and when they saw Leng Xiaozhen standing there, their bodies couldn't help trembling.

After Li Defu invited Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin to sit down, he then glanced at Leng Xiaozhen coldly, and said, "Master Meng is here, why don't you kneel yet?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen knelt down and shouted, "Lord Meng, third lady." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Mrs. Li, why did things come to this?" Wu Min is a carpenter invited by my house, how did he get in touch with his wife? ”

Li Defu sneered and said, "Lord Meng..."

Meng Tianchu motioned for Li Defu to shut up, and then said to Leng Xiaozhen; "Mrs. Li, I'm asking you, Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to speak."

Leng Xiaozhen wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said sadly: "My lord, then Wu Min is just a distant cousin of mine, how..."

Li Defu said angrily: "You are still lying, I have already asked someone to go to Wu Min's house to ask, and their family does not have a distant relative surnamed Leng at all." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Li Defu, and Li Defu quickly lowered his head and shut his mouth.

Leng Xiaozhen: "My surname is Leng, my surname is Du, my name is Du Qin." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Du Qin, who was your husband when you married Shopkeeper Li?" ”

Leng Xiaozhen snorted, lowered her head and stopped talking.
