Chapter 61: Shadow Puppetry!

Yun Duoduo's accurate judgment, Xiaocui didn't understand, Yue Chang'an, who passed by Granny Cui's house to see her, understood, and the young man was very guilty when he thought of his suspicion of Aunt Wu before.

Yue Chang'an is essentially a cute teenager, although he was born in a noble family, he is very concerned about the commoners, and this kind of person is also a good boy in modern times. This time, because of the wrong judgment, a big living person died tragically in front of his eyes. Although Yue Chang'an didn't show anything on the surface, he felt guilty in his heart.

The young man walked to the door with his front foot, retracted his hind foot, and disappeared with a light skill.

In the house, after Yun Duoduo mentioned a sentence to Xiaocui, he gave Xiaocui a string of copper plates, and told Xiaocui to go to the beggar's nest in the west of the city to find an old man who sang shadow puppets and invite him to come to his home to sing a play.

Xiaocui was puzzled: "Duoduo, why do you suddenly want to listen to shadow puppetry?" ”

Yun Duoduo pretended to be depressed and said: "Since I arrived in Jiangzhou, I don't know what's wrong, and many things have come to the door inexplicably. Fortunately, I've been idle recently, and I want to be happy when I hear the play. ”

After listening to the explanation, Xiaocui ran towards the west of the city without saying a word for the sake of her friends.

On the other side, Yue Chang'an bent on his waist, passed through the heavy guards, and sneaked into the Wu Mansion. Before Mrs. Wu's first seven years passed, the Wu family parked her coffin in the lobby.

A few days ago, people came to mourn one after another, but since the female corpse in Jiangzhou was dug up, which led to rumors in the city, the people who cried and shouted to guard the soul of the eldest mother are now hiding at home.

In the lobby, there is only a lone coffin.

Yue Chang'an followed the corner of the wall, opened the window, and drilled through the window.

As soon as he saw the coffin, Yue Changan sighed, took three sticks of incense on the case, prayed sincerely, and put the incense on the incense burner.

Then, he went to the coffin and said, "Don't blame the aunt! I know that you were unjustly killed, and now there are voices condemning you outside, and I dare to disturb you today, hoping to find some clues from you. ”

After speaking, Yue Chang'an used a force in his hand and pushed the coffin away from a corner.

"Auntie! If you have a spirit in heaven, you will bless us to find the real culprit as soon as possible and avenge you! After praying in a low voice, Yue Changan poked his head into the corpse.

In the coffin, Aunt Wu lay peacefully in the middle, her face still lifelike. When Yue Changan saw the corpse, he was a little disappointed, knowing that Aunt Wu's body had been disposed of by her family, and she was afraid that she would not be able to find any clues.

"Excuse me, don't blame the aunt!" Yue Chang'an whispered a sentence and was about to close the coffin.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of vague footsteps outside the door, and soon, the hands of the people outside the door fell on the door frame and were about to push the door. Yue Chang'an secretly said that it was not good, and he didn't have time to cover the coffin, so he jumped towards the roof beam.

Walking in was a drunken Lang Jun, who first staggered, and then saw the coffin in the hall that had been lifted open.

The drunk Lang Jun still couldn't believe that the coffin would suddenly open, and rubbed his eyes first.

Yue Chang'an on the beam held his breath and looked out the door, ready to escape at any time.

Lang Jun rubbed his eyes three times under Yue Chang'an's nose, until the third time, he finally determined that his lady's coffin was automatically opened.

Normal people must be scared at this time.

But the head of the Wu family is different from ordinary people, just when the upper Chang'an is about to run away, the big man suddenly cried bitterly: "Lady! Do you want to be a husband? ”

Yue Chang'an almost fell with one foot flying out, but fortunately he hooked the beam of the house dangerously and dangerously.

"Lady, I knew that you were reluctant to leave your husband alone, and came back to see me!" Wu Dalang, who was full of alcohol, cried and hugged the coffin.

The cold coffin was not enjoyable, Wu Dalang cried until he was tired, and hugged the body of Aunt Wu in the coffin, crying while saying: "I remember that the lady married our Wu family at the age of eighteen. ”

"When I was a child, the Wu family and your family were opposite the door. At that time, my father was still taking the imperial examination, he was a poor talent, and in the whole village, only your family was the richest. The drunken Wu Dalang was so sad that he hallucinated and mistakenly thought that the eldest mother had reappeared in front of him.

"You're the prettiest girl in the whole village. Every day, a lot of little kids roll together, fighting together for you. My father was a showman, and I was a scholar, and I couldn't beat them, so I hid from a long distance, looking at you from afar, and then you came and just smiled at me. Wu Dalang recalled the happiest moment, regardless of avoidance, and hugged the body of the eldest lady tightly.

"Later!" Yue Chang'an listened to Wu Dalang chattering above.

"Later......" Wu Dalang continued.

"The relationship between you and my husband and wife, what do people who never mind meeting each other for their husbands say, the lady works hard for me day and night, and worries about my Wu family, hahaha, what do the eight lambs outside know. The lady knows that her husband is arrogant, and she doesn't care to explain, so she never explains. When Wu Dalang said that he couldn't even shed tears when he talked about the depths of his love.

Yue Chang'an listened, thinking of what Xiaocui said about the Wu family's big house before, and when he really saw the way Wu Dalang and the eldest lady got along today, he realized that there were rumors outside.

Bottom, Wu Dalang began to beat his feet and pause his chest and said: "But the husband can't imagine that these rumors have inexplicably become an excuse for the lady who attacked today." What kind of bullshit face, if I know that there is today, even if I lose face, I have to explain it clearly to the entire Jiangzhou! ”

"My lady is the best lady in the world! Lady, you're not going to kill yourself, are you? Who killed you, someone must be trying to kill you! After Wu Dalang was annoyed, he began to chatter.

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly reminded Yue Chang'an, and the lively young man's eyes lit up.

Gossip? The murderer chose to blame Aunt Wu and arranged everything, there must be a purpose behind this, and the news of the discord in the Wu family's big house before that must have been arranged!

But what is the purpose of the murderer?

On the beams of the house, Yue Chang'an was so engrossed that he inadvertently slipped under his feet and almost fell, and the young man quickly turned over quietly and hung on the beam again.

This time, he actually smelled a trace of blood.

Refusing to let go of a clue, Yue Chang'an waited in the Wu family with an inexplicable mood.

On the other end, Xiaocui found the old man's house and knocked on the door.

The strange old man poked his head out of the crack in the door, and Xiao Cui handed over the money and said what he meant. The strange old man looked at her in surprise, and then checked the copper plate in his hand.

Finally, for the money in hand, the old man nodded.

He brought the dilapidated props and followed Xiaocui, and the two of them walked around and around, and finally walked to Granny Cui's house. Yun Duoduo had been sitting on the side waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw the strange old man coming, he stood up.

When the strange old man saw that it was her, he was stunned at first.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man still entered Granny Cui's house with one foot, and then took out the props without saying a word, set up the stage, and was about to start singing.

Yun Duoduo stopped him, and the strange old man raised his head and looked at her with an unhappy face.

"I'm sorry uncle, I'm inviting you to come today, not to listen to the shadow puppet show, but to ask you a few questions." Yun Duoduo said politely.

When the strange old man heard this, he immediately picked up his things and was about to run. Still on the side, Xiao Cui's eyes were sharp, and he held down the strange old man and shouted: "Hey, what are you running!" ”

Strange old man's movements, Yun Duoduo was even more sure that he must know something!

"Uncle, you know the inside story, right! How did the daughter of the crazy mother-in-law die, and who killed her! Yun Duoduo immediately stood in front of him and asked.

The strange old man immediately shook his head into a rattle.

Yun Duoduo continued: "Uncle! Please be sure to let me know! Aunt Wu is dead, do you know? ”

Hearing the news of Aunt Wu's death, the strange old man's pupils shrank, obviously very surprised. Although the news of Aunt Wu's death spread throughout Jiangzhou, the strange old man who locked himself in the house did not know.

The strange old man struggled a bit, and found that he couldn't break free from Xiaocui, so he also accepted his fate, lowered his head and sighed: "This eldest lady of the Wu family is a good one!" In previous years, there was a famine in Jiangzhou, and she personally took her servants to distribute food to us poor people. ”

Yun Duoduo heard the strange old man's exclamation, knew that there was a play, and continued to ask: "Uncle......"

The strange old man saw Yun Duoduo speak, but he interrupted her words first: "Girl, I'm just a small person, the Wu family is powerful, don't embarrass my old man!" Listen to my advice, we can't fight the Wu family! ”

"Uncle, I don't want to fight with the Wu family, I'm also afraid, I'm afraid that the murderer of the Wu family will suddenly rush out and kill me. However, Aunt Wu died unjustly, the female corpse in Jiangzhong died unexplained before, the daughter of the crazy mother-in-law is gone, and the mother-in-law is also crazy! Yun Duoduo spoke very slowly, and every word he said seemed to be cheering up the strange old man, and it seemed to cheer himself up again.

"......" the strange old man was silent.

Yun Duoduo knew that there was a play, and continued: "Uncle, I am just an ordinary person, but I can't let the murderer continue to be lawless, and continue to let more people in Jiangzhou be brutalized by her!" ”

"I, I don't know much." Yun Duoduo persuaded him, and the strange old man hesitated for a long time, and finally relented, "I know that the Wang family next door that day, by the way, the Wang family is the crazy mother-in-law." Before she went crazy, she suddenly had a dream that her daughter was gone! ”

"Her daughter originally married into the Wu family, but after she got married, she never contacted her. The Wang family was afraid that the Wu family had too many rules, so they didn't dare to go to see their own girl, and it was about a month. She suddenly knocked on my old man's door like crazy, and I went with her to Wu's house to find someone. The strange old man recalled the events of a few months ago and spoke.

"Who knew that when they arrived at the Wu family, they all said that they had never seen the Wang girl, and the Wang family made a fuss at the door of the Wu family, and was knocked out by the Wu family. But the Wang family did not give up, and was still wandering around Wu's house, and the old man saw that she was a poor mother-in-law, so he accompanied her to the evening. The strange old man continued, "At night, I saw a small servant of the Wu family holding a female corpse and throwing the corpse into the river! ”
