"Actually, there is nothing!" Li Mao touched his head: "That night, after the shopkeeper fainted, the little one sent the shopkeeper back to the bedroom according to the instructions of the little boy, and settled it properly." When I went out, I happened to hear the little boy talking to him. The shopkeeper also knows that this is not a good Taoist, other people's hearts are black at best, and even his heart is twisted and turned. The little one was worried that the little boy would suffer a loss, so he stood far away and didn't move, but the little one listened to the conversation between the little boy and the unnecessary, and he didn't drop half a word. ”

"Oh, are you trying to kill me in a hurry?" Xing Ruyi stomped his feet anxiously: "Then what did you say to Yin Yuan?" Shouldn't you coax him to fetch some monster's Nedan again? ”

"It's not!" Li Mao replied: "The little one heard it very clearly, it was the little boy who was asking about something that didn't need to be big." Xiao Gongzi wanted to know whether the unwarranted intention of placing the hair monster on Na Hu Da's body was related to the shopkeeper and Yin Ye. ”

"How did you answer that?"

He said no, and left an equally strange sentence before leaving, saying that he was a warm-hearted Taoist priest. But in this case, will you believe the shopkeeper? Li Mao looked at Xing Ruyi and saw that she neither nodded nor shook her head, so he added: "Although the little boy didn't say anything at the time, the little boy estimated that the little boy may not have believed the unwarranted words." Regardless of whether this is intentional or unintentional, Hu Da's matter will still involve you in the shopkeeper after all. It's about the shopkeeper, and the little boy always has to check to feel at ease. ”

Xing Ruyi sighed, pulled his thoughts out of these disturbing things, looked at the radish cake in Li Mao's hand and asked, "Tell me about the little beggar." There have been so many annoying things lately, and my heart has been messed up, and I don't have the leisure to listen to stories. ”

"Since the shopkeeper wants to listen, the little one will sit down and talk to the shopkeeper carefully, and the custodian will talk carefully and carefully, which is more wonderful than the storyteller in the teahouse."

"Don't be poor, hurry up." Xing Ruyi said, and also pinched a piece of radish cake and put it in his mouth, and after chewing two bites, he frowned and whispered: "The taste of this radish cake is not very authentic, it seems that something is missing." ”

Li Mao was eating this radish cake for the first time, and he didn't feel that there was anything bad about the taste, and when he heard Xing Ruyi muttering over there, he didn't respond smartly, lest the torture shopkeeper be dissatisfied, and then poured the whole plate of radish cake. Thinking of this, he hurriedly moved the plate to his side, took a deep breath, and prepared to tell a story.

Speaking of this, there is a family in the silk business on the Yun family, although it is not as solid as the Hu family, but it can be regarded as the type of small wealth. The owner of this house is surnamed Wang, and there is an easy-to-remember name called Wang Jiang. Zhang Wang Li Zhao, although it is said that it is the four major surnames in the world, but in Yunjiaji, this Wang surname is also a rather rare surname.

Wang Jiang married his wife Zhu, who was beautiful and virtuous, and what was even more rare was that this Zhu also gave birth to a Buddha, in folk words, that is, she looked like those female bodhisattvas in the temple. Therefore, this Zhu family is also rumored to be a woman who can make the Wang family prosperous for generations, keep safe forever, and have a prosperous appearance. That knows, this Zhu died inexplicably in the suburbs.

"I've heard the three words of Wangfuxiang, but I don't know what Wangfuxiang looks like in the eyes of others." Xing Ruyi pinched his face, "But eighty percent of it is not like me." Looking at all these unfortunate things that the fox has encountered since he was with me, I always feel that I am neither a prosperous husband nor a prosperous house. ”

"Why should the shopkeeper be arrogant, it's useless for the Zhu family to have a prosperous husband." Li Maoqiao curled his mouth: "There is no prosperous husband, but there is no longevity, how can this husband's family be prosperous?" is the shopkeeper, not only can raise eyebrows with our Yin Ye, but also fight side by side with our Yin Ye and break through the north and south together, which is the real companion of our Yin family. ”

"Just your mouth will say. What about this Zhu family? And how did he die? Who and where was it discovered? Is there anything else left at the scene of the crime? On what basis did the government conclude that the little beggar was the one who murdered the Zhu family, was it just based on the crazy words in the little beggar's mouth and the woman's coat that I don't know where I got it? ”

"The shopkeeper asked so many questions at once, but how could the little one answer." Li Mao's eyes widened: "Or?" The shopkeeper also went to the yamen to ask. To be honest, looking at the shopkeeper's appearance now, it is exactly the same as when he helped Chang Daren and them solve the case when he was in Luoyang City, and the shopkeeper at that time was cuter. ”

"Lovely! I? Xing Ruyi snorted: "I never thought I was cute!" Hurry up, what's going on with the Zhu family? ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper's impatience is exactly the same as when he was in Luoyang City." Swallowing the last piece of radish cake into his stomach, Li Mao clapped his hands, and then continued: "Speaking of which, there is indeed something strange about this Zhu family, just like what you said before. Well, why did she, a well-fed lady, appear in such a remote place in the middle of the night? And the person who found Zhu's body was no one else, but Zhu's brother-in-law, the brother of Wang Jiang's same clan. ”

"The brother-in-law found the body of his sister-in-law? There's some interest here. Didn't the government put its suspicious eyes on this little uncle? ”

"It's not clear how the old man in the government thinks about the little one, but the relationship between the little uncle and the Zhu family is definitely not what the shopkeeper guessed. Although this Wang Jiang is doing a silk business in Yunjiaji, his brother Wang Chong is a person who likes to walk the rivers and lakes. According to the Wang family, this Wang Chong has been away from home for more than two years, and only a few months ago came back the news that he was going home for the New Year this year, and he was accompanied by a wife who was about to pass through the door. This is also a happy event in the Wang family. Coincidentally, the timing of this king rushing home happened to coincide with the murder of the Zhu family. ”

"Is it really just a coincidence?"

"On the face of it, it's a coincidence. Because Wang Chong's wife did not pass through the door, she can only be regarded as a fiancée, and this time with Wang Chong's return to his hometown, she came to get married. Therefore, the Wang family made preparations early and placed it in a relative's house in Xiaoyangzhuang, less than three miles away from Yunjiaji. As long as the Wang family is ready, they will choose an auspicious day to marry. Wang Chong returned to Yunjiaji from Xiaoyangzhuang on the afternoon of the day when his fiancée was properly settled.

After not returning to his hometown for a long time, Wang Chong naturally wanted to visit his brother, that is, Zhu's husband Wang Jiang. Coincidentally, this Wang Jiang went to buy goods during the day, but because of some disputes with the merchant who supplied the goods, he could not return on time. Wang Chong carried things outside Wang Jiang's house and called six or seven times, but no one answered. Seeing that the door was empty, Wang Chong pushed the door in, only to see that the master bedroom was dark, and only the side room was still lit. ”

"I remember that there is also a cook lady in this Wang family, that is, the woman who accompanied the Zhu family to buy rouge on the opening day of the rouge shop."

"Yes, this Wang family does have a cook lady who helps the cook." Li Mao dipped his hand in water and drew a few random dishes on the table. Xing Ruyi looked at it, like a simple house plan.

"This is the main house of the Wang family, and it is also the place where Wang Jiang and his wife Zhu rest on weekdays, this is the living room, this is the side hall, and there is a small kitchen here. The cook doesn't live here, but here! Li Mao pointed to a point adjacent to the kitchen: "This is another courtyard of the Wang family, which can also be regarded as a small garden of the Wang family, half of the houses in the courtyard are used to store cloth, and half are used for visitors to rest." The cook also lives here. Connecting the two courtyards is a small low aisle, which is cleverly covered by bamboos and flowers. ”

"In that case, the cook should be fine. After all, the Zhu family was killed in the suburbs, not in the Zhu family's inner house. ”

"It should be like this, but it doesn't." Li Mao said, dipped his fingers in the water, and ordered a big point on the table: "The cook was lying in this position at that time." According to Wang Chong's description, after he entered Wang Jiang's house, he saw that only the light in the side room was on, so he called his brother and sister-in-law and went directly to the side room with his things. When I got to the front, I found that there was a lock on the door of this side room, but it was not locked.

Because the lock was very neat, Wang Chong guessed that Wang Jiang and his wife might have something to do temporarily and went to the shop or other places. I'm going to come back tomorrow with my stuff. When I walked down the steps, I found something on the ground, and by the light in the house, I saw that it was a cloud of blood, and there was a person lying in the fallen leaves next to it. After careful inspection, I recognized that it was the cook lady who helped the kitchen of Wang Jiang's family, and I had seen it in the early years.

Wang Chong is accustomed to walking the rivers and lakes, and his courage is naturally greater than ordinary people. Seeing this, he did not panic, but leaned down, tested the cook's snort, and saw that she still had a faint breath, so he picked it up and hurriedly sent it to the hospital. At this point, the doctor of the medical hall also testified, and the time, place and situation at that time were no different from what Wang Chong said. ”

"That's a coincidence."

"When the little one went to see the excitement today, he happened to have a face-to-face with this Wang Chong prince. This prince of Wang Chong really doesn't look like the kind of treacherous villain who is used to scheming. At the eyebrows and eyes, there is even a bit of righteousness. In the court, this Wang Chong also described in detail some of the circumstances on the night of the crime, and also said that after sending the cook to the hospital, while the doctor was helping the cook to diagnose and treat, he checked the kitchen lady's injuries, and said that it was all over the body, only the throat part was cut by someone, the knife edge went from shallow to deep, the shallow part was just broken skin, and the deep part was cut to the throat. Although the knife is neat, it can be seen from the trend of the knife edge that the person who cut the knife seems to be a little hesitant, which shows that the other party didn't want the cook's life, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind, so that the knife edge became deeper and deeper. If it weren't for the king's timely arrival, this cook would have lost her life. ”

"Perhaps, this murderer is someone the cook knows." Xing Ruyi knocked on the table: "It seems that this little beggar is really responsible for this murderer." ”
