Chapter Forty-Eight: Hidden Inside

Searching in the firewood room to no avail, Yu Shaobai reluctantly walked out of the door, and when he saw Wu Zichu's expression, he already knew the result. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Then again, if you had a sum of money, where would you hide it?"

Wu Zichu thought for a while and said seriously: "I usually don't hide money, I only spend money. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai only asked in vain, if he wants to hide money, his home is actually the safest and most dangerous, he can feel at ease at home, and it is easy to attract thieves, which is a tangled problem.

The Gao family is a special situation, and the villagers know that his family is so poor that thieves can't bear to patronize it, and it is very likely that he is hiding at home.

Yu Shaobai suddenly noticed the old locust tree in the courtyard, looking at the degree of dead bark, he thought that it should have been dead for some years, and the owner of the family actually kept it to this day, which made people a little curious.

He raised his leg and came to the locust tree, looked up and down, stretched out his hand and patted the locust tree, making a banging sound, as if it was hollow inside.

Yu Shaobai shrugged his nose, smelled a bad smell, smelled his hand, this is the smell, he just patted the bark, and then he got the smell, he turned his head and said, "Zichu, give me the fire fold." ”

Yu Shaobai lit the fire, and then he saw clearly that the things on the ground were a few dead larvae, and he guessed that the trunk should be smeared with something that killed insects, the tree was dead, and most of the larvae of insects would grow in it, but an old locust tree that had been dead for so many years, why bother with it?

Yu Shaobai looked up at the top of his head, only to see that the trunk of the tree was a hornet's nest, and he came to the wall to get a bamboo pole.

Seeing this, Wu Zichu hurriedly said out loud: "Shaobai, now is not the time to play, if you stab the hornet's nest, we will have to bear it." ”

"Don't worry, there are no hornets in this hornet's nest." After that, Yu Shaobai stabbed it violently, and the hornet's nest fell straight in front of him, and Wu Zichu had already hid at the door of the firewood room, looking like he was watching a good show, but this time he was disappointed, although the hornet's nest fell to the ground, no hornets appeared.

Yu Shaobai picked up the hornet's nest, looked at the earthy yellow mixture on it, and was slightly stunned, he had used the things on this hornet's nest, it was an accidental chance in his previous life, and he saw the termite nest, although the termite nest looks plain, but it can be compared to concrete, and it is also regarded as a kind of glue.

He looked up, and could vaguely see that after the hornet's nest fell, a tree hole appeared in the trunk, he touched the dead tree up and down, and finally said to Wu Zichu: "Brother Zichu, help me stand taller." ”

"How can I help? You're inherently stubborn. ”

"I'm riding on you, and I think there's something in that hole."

Hearing this, Wu Zichu came to the tree and looked up at the black hole, "Okay, Young Master Ben believes you once." With that, he crouched down.

Yu Shaobai "turned over and got on the horse", his body slowly rose up, and he was close to the black hole for a long time, and reached out to reach in.

"Brother-in-law, did you touch anything?"

Yu Shaobai looked at the illustrated novel in his hand, his expression was a little depressed, "Brother Zichu, this thing may be of interest to you." ”

When he came down, Wu Zichu said impatiently: "What is on it?" Then Yu Shaobai handed the illustrated novel in his arms to him.

"Eighteen prohibitions in the Spring Palace~ This is really a good thing. Brother-in-law, I've been looking for this book for a long time, but I didn't expect the noble boy to have this book. He only read the preface of a book, and his mouth was already happy.

Yu Shaobai looked at his appearance, and felt happy in his heart, he thought that there would be treasures in the tree hole, but he didn't expect that this guy would hide the restricted novel in the tree, which is really perverted.

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." Yu Shaobai whispered out the handwriting in the preface of the book, it should have been written noblely, but it was a little strange that he wrote this sentence in a book of the eighteen prohibitions of the Spring Palace.

He reached out and took the book, remembering the picture in the Lu Ding Ji, he touched the writing, pulled hard, and saw that there was indeed something hidden inside.

"I'll go~" Looking at the house deed and the three field deeds in his hand, Yu Shaobai and Wu Zichu glanced at each other, in addition to joy, I am afraid that there are doubts left.

"Good ...... This nobility is really hidden, such a poor and sour appearance, and such a family background, it is cheaper for our brothers. ”

Yu Shaobai suddenly showed a wry smile on his face: "Brother Zichu, I'm afraid this is a hot potato." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You see, there is also a seal of the land deed on this deed."

Wu Zichu lowered his head and got closer to see that the deed was Zheng Xianli's seal, and he suddenly exclaimed: "This is the Zheng family's real estate and land property?" How can it be in a noble house? ”

"It's not very possible to steal, a big family, it's impossible not to even know that their house deed was stolen, I saw that he was friendly with the son of the Zheng family, whether he was deceived from Zheng Gong, I don't know."

Wu Zichu shook his head and pointed to the deed in his hand, "Zheng Gong's guy is yelling outside, but when he comes home, he is very cowardly, and how can this deed be in his hands, let alone he can get it if he wants to, I usually take it from my mother, and every time I pretend to be pitiful, then Zheng Xianli is a good person, if he can't even stand the deed, how can he become the first rice merchant in the entire Lanxi County." ”

Hearing his words, Yu Shaobai also agreed a little, now this noble murder case is becoming more and more complicated, the original trunk is now flourishing, and I don't know where to start.

"Alas~ I finally made a fortune, but it's a pity."

Wu Zichu laughed softly: "Brother-in-law doesn't have to be lost, although we can't blatantly occupy his Zheng family's house deed and land, but if we ask someone to exchange things, it is not a good way." ”

"Do you know anyone like that?"

"Although my father doesn't want to offend Zheng Xianli, I don't want to make trouble for him, but in this Lanxi County, it's not his Zheng family who covers the sky with one hand, and the Zheng family's rice shop is also the Meng family's rice shop, the strength of the Meng family is far from being comparable to the Zheng family, but most of the Meng family's industry is in Pujiang County, only the old house is in Lanxi County, and the second master is in charge of the family property, let's exchange this house deed and field deed to the Meng family, it will not be discovered by the Zheng family, I want to come to the Meng family for my father's face, I should not refuse, no matter whether the deed is exchanged for the house, Or exchange the deed for money, for us, it is a big fortune. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai had the illusion of laundering money, since he was so sure, of course he believed him.

"Then everything is up to you, just tie this masked man to the room, and let the people of the yamen come and get him tomorrow."

After a long time, the two left Gao's house, and in the dark room, only the masked man was left lying on the bed, he didn't know how long he slept for long, and then he felt very hot, and then woke up......

Out of the village, the two rushed to the county seat in a carriage and returned to Wu's house.

Lying on the bed, Yu Shao thought about tonight's events, trying to sort things out, to be honest, in the ancients, the physical evidence was all floating clouds, and the confession was the evidence that ultimately killed people, and now Wu Zichu's father wants to solve the case as soon as possible, if she can't change her confession, the case is really difficult to overturn, this can only be Wu Zichu, I hope he can explain his father.

And Yu Shaobai feels that the most powerful evidence is often on the deceased, or the scene of the first crime, tomorrow they will go to the grove by the lake to see what is going on, originally planned to go to the noble house tonight when they come back, they will go to the grove by the way, but the sky is getting dark, and the two do not know the specific location, they are afraid of getting lost, and the most important reason is that Wu Zichu has a slight night blindness, and half of the blind man is still as timid as a mouse, so it is too difficult for him to deal with the corpse with a black light.

In the early morning of the second day, Yu Shaobai got up early, to be precise, he smelled the fragrance and danced, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Wu Lingrou coming with a food box.

"Miss Wu, what's in this food box? Why is it so fragrant? ”

"Listen to my brother, you like to eat braised lion's head, this is the first time I've made it, let you try it."

Yu Shaobai was greedy for the brain, and he didn't pay attention to the key point in the girl's words, I heard that he likes to eat braised lion's head, and the girl specially learned it, but it's a pity that ...... This thing only has food boxes in its eyes.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry, so Miss will bring me food, so you're welcome." Yu Shaobai stretched out his hand to take the food box, without the slightest politeness, took out the braised lion's head, and praised it: "Miss Lingrou, is this really the first time you have made a braised lion's head?" ”

"What's wrong? Is the dish bad? Hearing Yu Shaobai's question, Wu Lingrou, who was sitting opposite, immediately became nervous, for fear of doing a bad job.

"No, I just think that Miss Lingrou has a talent for cooking, and just looking at this dish makes me have a great appetite, so I'll start it."

The whole atmosphere became a little sweet again, the foodie forgot to eat, and the girl looked at the teenager blankly, which was ...... Can you really be stunned?

"Sister ~ Shaobai, it turns out that my sister is also here, why do you still have the heart to eat now, something is wrong!"

was eating, and when he saw the young man running into the yard, Yu Shaobai said while eating: "Brother Zichu, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"I heard from my father just now that there was another murder in Lanxi County."

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai stopped, "Murder? Dead again? ”

"Do you know who died?"

Yu Shaobai and Wu Lingrou glanced at each other, but did not answer, waiting for the following, Wu Zichu was hung like this, and sighed helplessly: "What a husband and wife, my brother really loves you in vain." ”

"Brother~What do you say~"

Seeing his sister's shyness, Wu Zichu also accepted it when he saw it, "Okay, since you asked, I will tell you that it is the person who died this time...... It's the boatman Xiao Lane. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai's face changed greatly, and he looked up at Wu Zichu, and the eyes of the two were full of surprise, "Brother Zichu, is this Xiao Lang the person I saw last night?" ”

"I went to Master Liu and asked for a portrait of Xiao Rong, the masked man."
