Chapter 19: The Little Beggar
The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.
After the doctor gave Wang Leihu the medicine, he was taken to the side room by the housekeeper to rest.
Miao Miaomiao returned to her cell and tried to find a mechanism to raise the iron wall, but failed.
Walking back to the mourning hall in disappointment, he encountered a black shadow running out of Wang Leihu's courtyard in a panic on the way.
"Little beggar?"
The black shadow looked like a little beggar, but what was he doing in Wang Leihu's courtyard?
Miao Miaomiao flashed into the room lightly, only to see that the little guy in the outer compartment was napping, and there was actually a black bloody handprint on the door!
An ominous premonition struck.
She walked into the inner compartment and smelled a strong smell of blood.
A white hand stretched out of the bed tent, and the room was long gone.
Thinking back to seeing the little beggar running out of here in a panic just now, Miao Miaomiao's first thought was that he killed Wang Leihu!
"Stinky boy! What are you sneaking around here?! Suddenly, there was the shouting of the housekeeper outside.
Miao Miaomiao rushed out, only to see that the little beggar had been tied up by the family.
"Let go of me! I didn't do anything! ”
The young man's thin figure could not twist the strong family members at all, and they pushed him to the ground with a slight push, and his forehead hit the stone and he fainted.
Watching the little beggar being taken away by the family, Miao Miaomiao quickly ran back to the mourning hall to find Si Zhen Xing and Si Yubai.
Before she could explain the ins and outs of the matter, the butler came over in a panic.
"Xing catches heads! I...... My second boss is gone! ”
This word "also" reveals the sadness of the housekeeper Wang Quanjia, in just two or three days, the master was killed one after another, how can this future work be settled?
Miao Miaomiao felt a little sympathy for him, and the name of the dead family really deserved it.
……
Everyone rushed to Wang Leihu's room and saw that the doctor was already there.
"No, no, I'm just a doctor, treating the living, this person is already dead, how can I treat it?"
"Doctor, how can the second head of my family die? I also rubbed his wounds at night...... How could he die......" The little maid pulled her handkerchief and cried so much that the pear blossoms rained.
"This ......" the doctor spread his hands helplessly, "I'll change his medicine today, he's fine......"
At this time, the little girl was already crying breathlessly.
"Doctor, what medicine did you change for the second master?" Si Detective Xing approached the corpse, pinched the corner of the gauze with his fingers, and lifted it.
The black ointment mixed with blood had congealed into lumps.
"It's just an ordinary hemostatic drug."
"The prescription is for Ben to see."
"I have this recipe in my head, and I'll write it out now." The doctor walked over to the desk, unfolded the white paper, moistened the brush and wrote the prescription on the paper.
Artemisia leaf seven coins, Baiqi four taels, three seven two two eight coins......
"It's all herbs to stop bleeding." Si Yubai stroked his beard and nodded, "This Lang Zhong is not wrong, it's just ......"
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at him in unison.
"The lips and nails of the second boss are black and purple, which really seems to be caused by poisoning."
Si Yubai pointed to the black handprint on the door frame: "This bloody handprint, judging by the size, should be left by the second master." When the poor road entered the door, it smelled it, and it did smell ......"
"What does the Immortal Elder mean?" The housekeeper hurriedly asked.
The man sighed and pretended to shake his head: "I'm afraid that the second master has been poisoned a long time ago, and it was only poisoned at night that he died." ”
The crowd was startled by his words, and at this moment a family member shouted loudly outside: "The little ones have caught a sneaky little beggar outside the courtyard!" He is the murderer who killed the second master! ”
The butler patted his head and said five times in a row: "This kid is a member of the beggar gang!" Bacheng and the beggar gang elders in the dungeon were in cahoots, snakes and rats, and when they saw that their accomplices were arrested, they became angry and killed the second master! ”
What Wang Quanjia said does make sense, but after thinking about it carefully, it feels weird.
Si Yubai said that Wang Leihu had been poisoned a long time ago, so how did the little beggar poison him?
Could it be that he was the third perpetrator to kill Wang Zhenhu?
Such a young boy, how can he have the strength to kill people and shave meat?
"Lock people up first." Si Zhenxing stared at the wound on Wang Leihu's face, and then squinted at the black cat who was contemplating.
Miao Miaomiao felt a chill down her spine, and when she looked back, she couldn't see anyone looking at her.
"The second master loves incense?" Si Yubai lifted the incense burner on the table and sniffed it, but there was only a fragrance of fragrance.
"This incense is soothing." The little maid finally stopped her tears and sobbed, "The second master said that he was dizzy and a little nauseous...... So the slave and maid lit the incense and let him ...... Let him sleep peacefully......"
As she spoke, her tears fell again.
This maid really interprets the saying that women are made of water.
Miao Miaomiao shook her head, and her eyes accidentally glanced at a corner of the outer compartment.
While everyone was not paying attention, a small body passed through the crowd.
Jiao Niang has been glancing here before, is there something here?
This corner is covered by a veil, which naturally forms a hidden spot.
The black cat opened the veil with its head and entered it.
"What~ There's nothing ...... here"
This place is a dead corner, and even the servants will leave it out.
Because of this, a layer of dust has accumulated here.
It's just that in the midst of this dust, a pair of footprints caught her attention!
Someone has been hiding here!
Looking at the size of these footprints, the little beggar seemed to be more suspicious.
Miao Miaomiao didn't want him to be the real murderer, how could such a clean and simple teenager get blood on his hands?
It's just that now all the evidence points directly to him, if the murderer is not him, then who is it?
……
The three masters of Tiger Roaring Heights are all dead, and now only Jiao Niang can be in charge.
"Since the murderer has been caught, the concubine can't be untrustworthy, and this 10,000 taels of gold should be used as a thank you gift for the concubine."
After that, the four family members brought a heavy box, and when they opened it, the golden gold was particularly dazzling.
If she hadn't been pulled by Si Yubai, Miao Miaomiao would have pounced on her.
"Miss Ni seems to have something to say?" Jiao Niang took a puff of cigarette and curled her hair with her fingers, "The girl has been feeling better these days?" ”
In the past few days when Miao Miaomiao appeared in her original form, Si Yubai has been saying to the outside world that she has suffered from wind and cold in the rain, so she can only stay in the room and cannot go out.
"Body?" The girl reacted immediately, pretending to clutch her chest and coughed twice, "It's okay...... Thank you Madame for your concern......"
After all, but he couldn't take his eyes off the box of gold.
"I see that the girl's body is still a little weak, and it happens that the doctor is still in the village, so it is better to ask him to check the pulse......
"No, no, no...... No! "What if it turns out that she's not human?
"If a woman's body is not well adjusted, she will fall ill in the future." Jiao Niang rubbed her temples and frowned, "Don't be like me, I have a headache from time to time, I can only smoke this thing to soothe and soothe." ”
Jiao Niang didn't give up, Miao Miaomiao could only pull Si Yubai's sleeve for help.
The man shook off the dust and arched his hand: "Madam, my apprentice's body, Poor Dao, who knows best as a master, doesn't need to trouble the doctor." ”
While everyone in the hall was talking, they heard a deafening explosion not far away.
Everyone ran out to look, only to see smoke billowing from the direction of the dungeon.
