Chapter 336: Finding the Secret

It turned out that the champion Lang liked to eat yellow eel since he was a child, and coincidentally, the wife of the dregs in his hometown was also good at making various dishes with yellow eel, which won the favor of her husband, so the husband and wife also had a sweet and happy time.

After the title of the gold list, Zhuang Yuanlang once sent a letter to his wife, saying that the capital was very good, but he missed his wife and the dishes his wife made, especially the yellow eel.

Three months later, the wretched wife received another letter from her husband, which also included a letter of separation, in which the husband explained in detail the reasons for his separation, and as compensation, he promised to give his wife all the family property and land in his hometown.

The wife was unwilling to let her husband be snatched away by other women, for the sake of the child and herself, she gritted her teeth and took the child to Beijing to find a husband.

That champion is not completely ruthless and unrighteous, seeing his ex-wife and children come all the way to find him, where is he willing to turn him away?

For this reason, he confessed his past to the county lord's wife, and asked to keep the mother and son, in whatever capacity.

"Those long fish were brought by our master, and she wanted to use these long fish to awaken her husband's conscience, but who knows, the man is still a weak thing, and he will not leave his wealth and glory after all." The woman sighed.

"As soon as the county lord dies, doesn't it just fulfill your master? Wealth and glory and husband and wife love are both. Yan Yan asked.

But when the woman heard this, she laughed.

Because at the beginning, the bad wife stayed in the mansion as a relative of his hometown, for the sake of the royal face and his own future, he did not dare to restore the identity of this ex-wife, so he found a reason to keep three years of filial piety for the county lord.

At first, the wife also believed it, and stayed in the house wholeheartedly to take care of the middle feed and patiently accompany her husband to keep filial piety.

But to the disappointment of the wife, what the husband said about keeping filial piety was just a verbal talk, and during this period, he did not enter the house of the maid and concubine, of course, in order to appease her, he occasionally entered her house.

This wife is naturally unwilling to share her husband with a few maids, so she quarrels with her husband a lot, but this champion can always have a rhetoric and can always coax his wife.

Two years later, just when his wife thought she could finally get through, Zhuang Yuanlang received it

A letter came from my hometown, saying that my mother was sick, and in this case, it was natural for my wife to return to my hometown to serve the sick.

But who knew that when the wife was packing her things and preparing to leave, Zhuang Yuanlang fell ill first, saying that he was infected with some malaria.

"Our master didn't believe in this cause at first, but when I inquired about it, I learned that our master had accidentally contracted the disease when he went to see a widow outside the city." The woman said angrily.

"Widow?" Yan Yan was also shocked by this result, because Yan Peng didn't mention this matter, which showed that it was quite secretive.

According to the woman, this widow is not an ordinary widow, her father is a first-class member of the dynasty, and it is not clear who this first-class master is.

Of course, it may also be clear, but she doesn't dare to say it because of the other party's power.

All in all, this champion once again abandoned his wretched wife for the widow and son of this first-class master.

Whether it's retribution or coincidence, this time Zhuang Yuanlang paid the price of his life for his romance and luck.

"That's it, our master is not willing to leave him, he has to take his coffin back to his hometown, because there is too much delay on the road, so when we are close to the door, we also encounter a once-in-a-century flood, after the flood, there are dead bodies everywhere, these dead bodies have caused a malaria, our master, our master has not been able to hide after all, woo, it's really miserable... The woman's tears fell, at first a little forbearing, but then they simply turned into weeping.

"Shut up, you also know that today is our grandma's birthday, and you are crying so much in front of our grandma, you don't have to be so bad." Qing He drank the other party.

Yan Yan didn't care much about this, but she felt that this woman's origin was too strange, and she was involved in several murders, so after thinking about it for a while, she ordered Qing Glaze to find two mothers-in-law to take the woman out, and lock her in the concierge first.

Subsequently, she, Lu You, and Qing He analyzed the words of the talented woman.

First of all, the biggest suspicion is the death of this champion Lang, the woman's statement is that she was infected with malaria, but according to the nurse's recollection, there was no large-scale malaria rampant in the capital at that time, so the probability of ordinary people being infected with malaria is very small, not to mention that this person is still an official.

Secondly, Li Xi's death is also very strange, under normal circumstances, at least one person can be kept alive, but the mother and son died at the same time, it is difficult to say that this woman did something from it.

For example, yellow eel, because it is rare to see yellow eel in the capital, there is no relevant record in the medical book, and it is estimated that most doctors do not know that pregnant women cannot eat yellow eel.

It's just that Zhuangyuanlang likes to eat yellow eel, and it's hard to say that Li Xi won't like this dish because of his love for Wu and Wu.

Third, the next two pregnant women died of dystocia, and Yan Yan suspected that it was also related to this yellow eel, and of course it was related to the cook.

Fourth, what the purpose of this woman's efforts to stay is consistent with the purpose of the cook to harm others.

Fifth, if it is really as Yan Yan guessed, what treasures are really buried in this house, and where will these treasures be buried?

Several people speculated for a long time, and finally Lu You proposed to go to the back garden to have a look, although he didn't have much experience in dealing with people, but he was careful and observant.

So, Yan Yan helped Lu You and took Qinghe back to the back garden.

Most of the land in the back garden has been reclaimed by Yan Yan, and even the silt in the pond has been cleaned up, and the only places that have not been touched are a few pavilions.

It's a pity that Yan Yan and the others walked around these pavilions and pavilions, but they didn't find anything.

After dark, Yan Yan returned in a huff.

Early the next morning, Yan Yan, who was still asleep, was woken up by Lu You, he ran to the back garden early in the morning, and finally found the secret, and sure enough, two large boxes were dug out under the two bluestone slabs near the gate of Linshui Xuan, which contained many valuable antique vases and calligraphy and paintings in addition to gold and silver treasures.

And the reason why Lu You was able to find these two bluestone slabs was because he found that these two bluestone slabs were carved with two tiny orchids, while the other bluestone slabs were all blank.
