142: Clues to the Dead
The mourning hall is still so solemn, no one would despise such a place, even if it is Huo Xiao, who is going to open the coffin for an autopsy, he is also respectful.
Zhan Qian still didn't bear it in the end, and Xiao Shaoyu couldn't afford to offend him after all.
Zhan Kun has no heirs, nor does he have a wife, and his filial piety is only the child of some nephews. From this point of view, it is indeed a bit sad.
Soon, the people in the mourning hall were emptied, and only Zhan Qian, Xiao Shaoyu and Huo Xiao were left.
Huo Xiao did not go to open the museum immediately, but walked to the altar with Xiao Shaoyu, put on a stick of incense, and toasted a glass of wine. This is the respect for the deceased, and it is also the hope that Zhan Qian's heart can feel better.
Then, Huo Xiao and Xiao Shaoyu looked at each other and nodded slightly. correct
Huo Xiao walked to the coffin. At first glance, I knew that the coffin was very valuable, the whole body of golden nanmu, the patterns carved on it were lifelike, whether it was a human or a beast or a flower or a plant, it was all vivid. In Huo Xiao's judgment, the price of this coffin exceeded five thousand taels. Of course, this amount of money is nothing to the war cadres.
According to folk customs, the coffin must be played with an ink bucket line, and then forty-nine nails can be driven before it can be buried. However, there is only an ink fountain line on this coffin, and there are no nails to fix it. Because it's not the first seven yet! Huo Xiao knows all this. Truth be told, he wished the coffin had been nailed.
The coffin lid of the golden silk nanmu was very heavy, but it was nothing to a master like Huo Xiao. He was careful to push the lid out of the coffin for most of his body. The corpse of the war kun immediately came into view.
Zhan Kun is a standard handsome guy, but now, with a gray face, he can't see the slightest blood, and his eyes have begun to sink, but his overall appearance has not changed much, this is what a corpse should look like. It's still not hot, and if it's summer, it's already stinky.
Afterwards, Huo Xiao put his hand on Zhan Kun's mask and probed around his neck, and then checked other places.
On Zhan Kun's waist, Huo Xiao saw the jade pendant of the coiled dragon and the phoenix, the jade pendant that Zhan Kun cherished the most, and it was also the jade pendant that exposed him.
In addition, there are a lot of funerary goods in the coffin, including books, clay puppets, puppets, and books, as well as some gold and silver utensils, nothing special.
The inspection process is not long, no more than two teas. Then, Huo Xiao carefully covered the coffin, incomparably respectful.
Then, Huo Xiao walked to Zhan Qian's side and to: "Thank you, general." ”
Zhan Qian said coldly: "Huo Zhutou should have a great harvest, presumably he will be able to catch Yun Shengwu immediately." ”
Huo Xiao naturally understood the irony. said: "Borrowing the general's auspicious words, I think, it should be soon." ”
Zhan Qian said: "Then when the time comes, Huo Zhutou can definitely inform me, I want to see this cloud and fog to the end."
What a character!"
Huo Xiao said: "The general probably wants to avenge Ling Lang!"
Zhan Qian said: "What?
Huo Xiao said: "Of course not, otherwise, I can only ask a corpse." ”
Zhan Qian said: "Don't worry, I won't, I just want to see what kind of person he is!"
"That's good! However, I hope the general will help people to the end. I'd like to talk to Madame Zun, can I?"
Zhan Kun's corpse has been seen, what else can't be done? It's just that Zhan Qian doesn't understand why Huo Xiao wants to see his wife, does his wife know more than him?
Huo Xiao didn't want her and Song Zijun's words to be heard by others, so Xiao Shaoyu asked Zhan Qian to take him to drink.
The place where Huo Xiao and Song Zijun talked was in the Huxin Pavilion in the backyard. There is water and promenades on all sides, and no one can hide from them, and no one else can eavesdrop on them.
Today, Song Zijun is also dressed in plain clothes, her face is haggard, and the death of Zhan Kun is not a small blow to her.
Therefore, Huo Xiao's first sentence was: "Please also ask Mrs. to mourn." But no matter what kind of clothing or posture, it can't hide Song Zijun's elegant temperament.
Song Zijun returned the salute very politely: "Thank you, Lord Huo." "At first glance, it is from a large family, not only does he look quiet and virtuous, but his manners and posture are incomparably temperamental.
Huo Xiao said: "The matter of Zhan Kun, I guess my wife has heard about it. ”
Song Zijun nodded and said, "The clouds are foggy." ”
Huo Xiao said: "Yes, it's clouds and fog." Through previous investigations, it was found that the relationship between Yun Shengwu and Zhan Kun was a lover. Yun Shengwu is responsible for killing, and Zhan Kun is responsible for throwing corpses. Originally, we planned to use the war kun to draw out the clouds and mist, but the result was ...... Of course, I didn't blame the general, but I admired him, because he was much more difficult than us to make such a decision. ”
Song Zijun said: "Thank you Huo Zhutou for your understanding, and thank you for keeping Kun'er's reputation." ”
Huo Xiaodao: "If a person dies and the lights go out, it is meaningless to pursue it again." It's just that Zhan Kun is indeed an important clue to find Yun Shengwu, and we don't know much about Zhan Kun, so we hope that Madame can cooperate with us. ”
Song Zijun said: "What Huo Zhutou wants to know, Zijun must know everything." ”
Huo Xiao said: "In this way, I will no longer be polite." Madame, but you got married in the early spring five years ago?"
Song Zijun said: "Not bad. ”
Huo Xiao said: "Zhan Kun, haven't you objected?"
Song Zijun said: "When I got married, I didn't see Kun'er. He had locked himself in the courtyard all the time, and no one was allowed to enter. Basically, it only comes out once every five or six days. ”
Huo Xiaodao: "I heard General Zhan say that after Zhan Kun's mother died, he kept himself locked up there, and then you kept enlightening him and let him come out slowly." ”
Song Zijun said: "Kun'er is actually very sensible, but the death of his sister hit him too hard, he can't bear it, he loves his mother too much, according to my estimate, that degree of attachment is deeper than other children, and even a little abnormal." Later, I went to learn everything about my sister, and if Kun'er wanted to come out, the only way to make up for the lost mother's love. ”
Huo Xiao immediately praised: "Madame is really a virtuous helper, you must have put a lot of thought into it!"
Song Zijun said: "Indeed. But those are nothing, as long as Kun'er can come out, everything is worth it. ”
Huo Xiaodao: "As far as I know, Zhan Kun used to be very obedient, and he did whatever his mother said. Moreover, the Yunshengwu murder incident should have happened in the last three years. So, he shouldn't have come into contact with Yun Shengwu at that time! I don't know if I guess like this, can Madam agree?"
Song Zijun said: "When my sister left, Kun'er was only fifteen years old, and before that, he either stayed in the general's mansion or in the barracks, and almost had no contact with outsiders. ”
Huo Xiao nodded and said, "That is to say, Zhan Kun should have been exposed to Yunshengwu in recent years!
Song Zijun said: "Except for occasionally going home to save relatives, most of the time is in the house." ”
Huo Xiao said: "Then Zhan Kun came into contact with Yun Shengwu, didn't you notice a little sign?"
Song Zijun shook his head and said, "After Kun'er walked out of the small courtyard, he was already a tall young man!
I hope he can get out of the general's mansion and make more friends, like other boys, eat meat and drink, compete in martial arts, and so on. ”
Huo Xiao said: "I see. There's really no way to control that. Before Zhan Kun's accident, what was his unusual behavior?"
Song Zijun frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "The number of times he goes home is getting less and less, especially after getting the East Lookout Tower, he almost never comes back to sleep." Just come back once in a while for a meal. Others, nothing special. ”
Huo Xiao sighed: "I see, it seems that it is really not easy to find out Yun Shengwu. ”
Song Zijun said: "I'm sorry, I can't help much!"
Huo Xiao smiled: "Madame is polite, knowing this, you can already let me judge some things." However, can I invite you Steward Zhu to come over, he has been in the General's Mansion for a long time, and I think he may know something that the lady doesn't know. ”
"Okay, please wait. ”
However, Song Zijun had just walked out of the pavilion when Huo Xiao suddenly shouted, "Madam." ”
"What else does Huo Zhutou command?"
"Madam, aren't you going to have a child of your own?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Zijun's face changed slightly, and after smiling stiffly, he left directly.
Looking at the back of Song Zijun leaving, a faint smile appeared on Huo Xiao's face.
After a while, a slightly chubby man in his fifties came, less than seven feet tall, with small eyes and a big nose, and he looked very shrewd.
Those who can be the big housekeepers in the General's Mansion are by no means ordinary people.
"I've seen Huo Zhutou. ”
At the first glance of Huo Xiao, Steward Zhu saluted very politely.
Huo Xiao hurriedly got up to greet him and said, "Steward Zhu is polite." With your control, you should know what I'm here for. ”
Steward Zhu nodded and said, "I know." Huo Zhutou has what he wants to ask, although the question, the grass people know everything. ”
Huo Xiao said: "That's okay, I won't be polite to you." What kind of person do you think Zhan Kun is?"
Steward Zhu said: "Young master, I grew up watching him grow up, he is talented and intelligent! There are some things in this that I can't say when I sit down, and I hope that Lord Catcher will forgive me. ”
Huo Xiao nodded and said, "It's okay, I understand." ”
Steward Zhu said: "The young master is a little fragile in his heart, so he will lock himself in the house later and see no one." If it weren't for Madame's arrival, I don't know how long he would have locked himself up. ”
Huo Zhutou said: "Zhan Kun likes to read, do you know?"
Steward Zhu said: "Does the young master like to read? Although he knows a lot of poetry and songs, but it is all a helpless move under his mother's Weiya, and it is true that he likes to practice martial arts." ”
These words made Huo Xiao's eyes light up, and he said, "I see." When I saw what happened to Zhan Gongzi, I thought he was a good book. By the way, Steward Zhu is the chief steward of the General's Mansion, but you personally asked about the recruitment of the maids and subordinates in the Mansion?"
Steward Zhu said: "Yes, no matter how big or small, I have to ask in person, so that the master will rest assured." ”
Huo Xiao nodded and said, "Then in the eyes of Steward Zhu, is there a subordinate in the mansion that makes people feel very special at a glance?"
In this chapter, some problems have been exposed, I don't know if you can find it!
