Chapter 11: Freemasonry
"Hmm!" Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang rushed to the Wang family's mansion, how did they know that they were still a step late, and there were already a lot of people in front of the Wang family's mansion, and everyone was pointing inside.
The two of them walked through the crowd and saw a woman hanging from the trunk of a tree, and a piece of paper fell next to the root of the tree.
Dugu Shaobai bent down and picked up the paper, it was a suicide note, and the suicide note said that this woman was Wang Bingquan's third-room concubine, and because she couldn't bear the blow of her master's death, she chose to follow her master.
Shangguan Yutang put the body on the ground, and the two of them checked it, and it was really a suicide. Dugu Shaobai clenched his fists, his gentle face revealed a trace of anger, who was it, forcing their witnesses to death one by one.
Subsequently, the two searched the house and found deer antlers, but did not find the Gu medicine. After many inquiries, they learned that Wang Bingquan's three-room concubine was sent to the door on her own initiative at that time, and she was miserable begging for food in front of the door, but she was as beautiful as a flower. From this point of view, it is estimated that someone deliberately placed this woman next to Wang Bingquan.
"Big brother, now that the witnesses are gone, I am afraid it will be more difficult to know who is behind the scenes." Shangguan Yutang was at a loss, although they had found the stolen military salary, but it seemed that everything was not so simple, and the matter was full of mysteries.
"I didn't understand why those black-clothed men drew their knives to kill Wang Bingquan when they were down the mountain last night, why didn't they just blow the flute and directly let the worms in his body attack."
"Well, this is indeed redundant, and there is a mystery that has not been solved," Dugu Shaobai pondered.
Shangguan Yutang asked, "What is it?" ”
Dugu Shaobai thought of Wang Daqiang's head, who put that head on the tree?
"Wang Daqiang's head was found by me on a banyan tree, Xia Ming said, Wang Daqiang's head was not placed on the tree by him, and when the head was found by me, some of the flesh on the face was bitten off, look at the tooth marks, a bit like a wild dog bite, also a little like ...... People bite, moreover, the little brother named Li Shenlong told me that he saw a headless white shadow man on the side of the road on the night of Wang Daqiang's death. ”
Just as the two of them were pondering, Li Shenlong ran towards him: "Two uncles! I have something to say to you! ”
……
Seiryoin
Li Shenlong led Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang to Qingliangyuan again, he poured water for the two, and unequivocally told the two of them what they had encountered in Chunxianglou before.
After the two listened, they seemed to see hope again, Dugu Shaobai: "You mean that the hall master of the White Tiger Hall and Wang Bingquan know each other?" He also entrusted Wang Bingquan to do things? ”
Li Shenlong nodded heavily: "Yes, but they didn't explain what happened that night, the hall master of the White Tiger Hall not only knew Wang Bingquan, he seemed to be friendly with Ruyan of Chunxiang Building, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary relationship between men and women." ”
"Like smoke?" This is a woman's name, Shangguan Yutang thought that among the people who chased and killed them last night, the leader was also a woman. "Could it be that the one who chased and killed us last night had something to do with the smoke of Chunxianglou?"
Li Shenlong: "Two officials, that's all I know, you have to check the rest yourself, but if there is anything I can help, just ask!" ”
Dugu Shaobai smiled at Li Shenlong: "Brother Li has helped us a lot, I am grateful!" ”
Dugu Shaobai looked at the four or five children who were playing in the yard, and his heart moved slightly, unexpectedly, there were other orphans here.
Li Shenlong waved his hand: "It's good to call me Li Shenlong, it's so rusty to call Brother Li." ”
He followed Dugu Shaobai's line of sight and looked out, Huzi was playing in the yard with three other children.
"We are all orphans, and we were all adopted by Granny Meng."
Dugu Shaobai was slightly stunned, it seems that they have the same disease.
"I'm also an orphan, and all I remember before I was six years old was a fire and a broken body lying on the ground." His eyes darkened, and the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Shangguan Yutang knew Dugu Shaobai's past, and heard him say that he had no memory of his family, he only remembered a fire and the corpses on the ground, which was not only his memory, but also his nightmare.
"Uh...... Don't talk about this, we didn't have a good meal when we came to Taoyuan Town, big brother, I'm going to buy vegetables! Shangguan Yutang diverted the topic, she didn't want her eldest brother to be immersed in the grief of the past.
In the past, Li Shenlong thought that most of these officials were high, but he didn't expect that Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang were so approachable.
"Ahem, let's do it, you buy the vegetables, I'll take care of the cooking!"
Dugu Shaobai retracted his thoughts and smiled: "Okay"
On the street, Shangguan Yutang and Dugu Shaobai were picking vegetables. Although Shangguan Yutang is a daughter, she has been in Huguo Villa since she was eight years old, and she studies martial arts all day long.
Walking to the vegetable stall, she pointed to the vegetables in front of her: "Boss, bring me a pound of leeks." ”
The stall owner looked at her dumbfoundedly, indifferent. Shangguan Yutang thought that his voice was too small for the boss to hear clearly, so he raised his voice a little more: "Boss, help me wrap a pound of leeks!" ”
"Huh?" The vegetable stall owner looked at Shangguan Yutang in confusion.
"Poof" Dugu Shaobai couldn't help laughing, he had just finished buying fish from the fish stall on the side, and he saw his sister referring to garlic as leeks.
"Yutang, this is garlic, not leeks!"
"What?" This time it was Shangguan Yutang's turn to be confused. “……”
The two walked to a stall selling eggs again, and Shangguan Yutang pointed to the eggs in front of him: "Big brother, your injury is not healed yet, why don't you buy some eggs to make up for your body?" ”
"Hahaha" Dugu Shaobai's hearty laughter sounded, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Yutang, the stall in front of you is full of preserved eggs!" ”
"......" Shangguan Yutang's face turned red instantly, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, she had already recognized the wrong dish twice in a row, and it was still a dish that could be eaten often, it was too embarrassing! Forget it, let's not talk later!
Dugu Shaobai couldn't help but knock on Shangguan Yutang's little head: "You don't even know a few dishes, how can you catch your husband's stomach when you get married in the future?" ”
Hearing the word "husband", Shangguan Yutang's fair little face became even more ruddy, and she raised her eyes to look at Dugu Shaobai in front of her, who was seriously picking vegetables.
Shangguan Yutang was originally a girl's family, and now she is eighteen years old, and it is the time when the girl is pregnant with spring, and she has not fantasized about what her future husband will be like.
When she was seven years old, her mother abandoned her, wandered outside for half a year, and accidentally found her own father, she lived in Shangguan Mansion for half a year, sent people under the fence, the eldest mother did not like her, the second brother of the family often bullied her, for her own food and clothing, she had to swallow her anger.
