The matter of Half Moon Villa is not over yet, Lu Yan will not be able to leave for a while, and Zhu Yixiang has not returned to the county office, but he is sick and groggy, and he can't support it, so he casually found a room to lie down, and there was a lot of noise outside all night, it was Jinyiwei and the county government's messengers who were salvaging things in the pond, he was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard a cry, which woke him up from his trance.

Zhu Yixiang put on a piece of clothing and walked out, came to the front hall, and saw a white-haired old man lying on the coffin of Master Sun in the courtyard, patting the coffin lid one by one, tears on his face, crying: "Master, master, it's only been two months, how can it be like this for only two months...... The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes...... How did you end up like this all your life......"

Presumably the old man in front of him was the former housekeeper of Half Moon Villa, Zhu Yixiang didn't know how to comfort this old man for a while, so he could only stand aside silently and watch him cry, looking up at the sky, it was already the second half of the night.

After all, the old man was old, and he cried on the coffin for about half a stick of incense, and then he couldn't cry anymore, so he knelt in front of the coffin and wept silently.

Only then did Zhu Yixiang step forward and comfort: "Old man, people can't be resurrected after death, you also have to take care of your body, after all, you are the only person in the Sun family who can take charge now, and you have to wait for your young master to come back, what if there are three long and two short?" ”

The old man heard Zhu Yixiang speak, raised his head, looked at Zhu Yixiang with old and cloudy eyes, and there was indeed a scar on the left cheek of the old man's face, if it weren't for the bright candlelight on the mourning hall, he wouldn't have noticed it, it was really a coincidence, if it weren't for this scar, Pan Zhixian wouldn't have thought that the county morgue was lying in this old man's house!

The old butler asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you from the government?" ”

"Me?" Zhu Yixiang scratched his head, he didn't know if he was from the government now, he used to be barely a supernumerary member of the Jinyi Guard, the kind who just worked and didn't take a fortune, but now he has to be regarded as a prisoner in the Jinyi Guard, who is atoning for his crimes! "You just treat me as a member of the government!"

"Then can you catch the murderers of my master and young master Sun? Who did it, they lost their conscience! Our master has always been kind to others, and he has never done anything harmful, how could he suffer such a catastrophe......"

"This ......" Zhu Yixiang sighed and said, "The murderer may be dead, but I still have a few questions I want to ask you!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Do you know the butler who took over after you left?"

"Do you say Sun is honest?"

Zhu Yixiang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Do you know him?" Do you know where he came from? ”

"He was a young man who was rescued from the road by the master half a year ago......"

One day half a year ago, the old housekeeper and Master Sun came back from collecting rent from the countryside, because it was not early, they took a small approach in order to enter the city before the curfew, and saw a big man covered with wounds lying in a pool of blood on the way.

The old housekeeper said that the barren mountains and mountains are not a good person, or don't care, so as not to get into trouble, Sun said that after all, it is a human life, if they don't care about this barren mountains and mountains, this person will have to die here, so he and the old housekeeper carried the big man into the car and pulled him back to the Half Moon Villa, and the old man Sun also asked the young man to be treated.

After the young man woke up, he was naturally grateful to Master Sun, claiming that his surname was Sun, called Sun Laoshi, because he was a person with the same surname, Master Sun was kind to this young man, Sun Laoshi said that he was originally from Fujian, half a year ago the Japanese invaded their village, and his family was killed by the Japanese Kou, and he was alone because he was not in the village at that time but survived, after his family was ruined, he was helpless, and he planned to come to Yangzhou to work and earn a living, but he didn't expect to meet robbers halfway and robbed him of all his belongings. He was also seriously injured, but fortunately, Master Sun Bodhisattva's heart saved his life.

Master Sun is a bodhisattva, and when he heard this person's experience, he couldn't help but sigh, comforted him, and left him in Half Moon Mountain Villa to recuperate. This Sun Honest is also a discerning person, during the period of recuperation, he always helps to do some chores in the villa, and this Sun Honest has a good temper, has great strength, and can read and break words, and the people of Half Moon Villa don't like this young man.

Sun Laoshi stayed in Half Moon Villa for more than half a month, and the injury was basically healed, so Master Sun asked him what his future plans were, if there was nowhere to go, he might as well stay in Half Moon Villa, then Sun Laoshi should be grateful, saying that he owed Master Sun a life, and was willing to stay as a cow and a horse to repay Master Sun's great kindness!

This Sun is honest and flexible, and he is reliable, and the old housekeeper is old, so he wants to go back to the countryside to support the elderly, so he discusses with Master Sun. Master Sun wanted Sun to take over the position of housekeeper, and in order to test his character, he deliberately tested him once. Let Sun Laoshi be responsible for buying some rice grain, the owner of a rice grain shop found him, secretly stuffed him with a tael of silver, and told Sun Laoshi that buying rice to him would give him benefits, Sun Laoshi inquired about the price of rice, which was two copper plates more expensive than those in other places. Sun Laoshi looked at the rice again, and the quality was not better than that in other places, so he rejected the owner of this rice grain store and chose an affordable rice grain store to buy.

The owner of the rice grain store was arranged by Master Sun, in fact, the two copper plates on the rice are not for a large family like Half Moon Villa, and if it is someone else, it may be happy to agree, but people are afraid of greed together, at first it was just greedy for a small price, but with the first time, there will be a second time, greedy for a small cheap want to be greedy for more, and greed finally becomes a habit and is out of control. Sun Laoshi can control his greed, which makes Master Sun very satisfied!

Two months ago, after the old housekeeper returned to his hometown, this grandson took over the position of the housekeeper.

After finishing speaking, the old housekeeper asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with Sun Laoshi?" ”

Zhu Yixiang smiled very helplessly, although he didn't want to tell the truth to the old man in front of him, he was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear the blow, but he had to say that if he didn't tell him, the old man was afraid that he would die, so he replied: "Maybe what you and Master Sun saved at the beginning was not Sun Laoshi, but a poisonous snake spitting letters!" ”

After that, the old housekeeper left the Sun family, so naturally he didn't know, but Zhu Yixiang could already guess a rough idea!

There is a story about "The Farmer and the Snake", and Master Sun, a kind farmer, did not know that what he was saving was a poisonous snake that was spitting out a letter to eat him alive! This man named Sun Laoshi, after taking charge of the affairs of the Sun family, began his vicious plan, he first poisoned the daily food in the villa, poisoned the subordinates of several half-moon villas, and then in the name of recruitment, blatantly recruited those Jiangyang thieves into the Sun Mansion to prepare for his next plan.

There will be all kinds of rumors about the death of people in the Half Moon Villa, some say it is a plague, some say it is a curse, and many of the remaining family members have quit their jobs, so that the entire Half Moon Villa is in the hands of Sun Laoshi. He couldn't let Master Sun die suddenly, it would arouse suspicion, so he also poisoned the food of Master Sun and Young Master Sun, wanting to poison them slowly, but Master Sun had lived for most of his life, how could this kind of thing not be noticed at all.

After Master Sun found out, he wanted to report to the official or take some measures, the poisonous snake called Sun Laoshi did not hesitate to kill Master Sun and Little Master Sun, and then sank their ancestors and grandsons in the pond.

At this time, the originally auspicious and kind Half Moon Mountain Villa has become a den of robbers, and what they are plotting is nothing else, it is the 100,000 taels of military salaries that pass by.

After listening to Zhu Yixiang's story, the old housekeeper looked at him in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "You said that this Sun Laoshi is the murderer of the master, how is it possible, the master has always treated him well, the master saved his life, and kindly took him in, how can he take revenge, he is a brute, a brute...... "The old housekeeper cried with grief.

Zhu Yixiang also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed in his heart that this god is really blind, good people don't live long! It is really sad, lamentable, pitiful and hateful that a good person like Master Sun was so vicious! turned around and saw Lu Yan standing not far away looking at them, so he made up the next sentence "Scourge left a thousand years" in his heart, how can a scourge like Lu Yan live so nourishingly!

But slander is slander, Lu Yan is alive now, let alone moisturizing, he is almost sad about his gray hair! The whole day was filled with low air pressure, and walking there could freeze three feet within ten steps.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yixiang didn't want to run to Lu Yan's side to feel the low pressure, not to mention that he was sick, but since he saw it, he couldn't go forward to say hello, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Lord Qianhu, what a coincidence, are you admiring the moon?" ”

Admiring the moon, Lu Yan was obviously not in that mood. He didn't close his eyes overnight, and when he closed his eyes, it was the 100,000 taels of silver that flowed into Yangzhou City's large and small money bank ticket numbers, if he couldn't recover it, he really couldn't explain it to the emperor, this case couldn't be handled, and then his father's case five years ago would not be able to be investigated!

Although he was in a hurry, he also knew that it was useless to be anxious, and things had to be done step by step!

Seeing that Lu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to his words, Zhu Yixiang had no choice but to get down to business, "Lord Qianhu, have you found any clues?" ”

Lu Yan glanced at him obliquely and said, "Didn't I let you go back to the county office?" The matter here has nothing to do with you anymore, you can get back the body of Green Peony tomorrow, I will do what I say, and I will give you a good coffin! ”

"Then I'll thank you first, but I can't leave yet!"

"Why, when I can use you, you deliberately pushed back and fought against me, fornicated repeat crimes, and ran away without saying a word after making a big mistake, and let you go and you didn't leave?"
