Chapter 17 The hearts of the people are afraid
"She's getting revenge."
Tang Yun examined the two bodies, and the woman's neck was also twisted.
There was also a male corpse beside him, and the Yang Mansion had proven that this male corpse was a miscellaneous servant in the backyard.
Looking at it like this, it should be that the two of them were messing around in the middle of the night, and Rudong found an opportunity and brutally killed them.
That night, the Yang Mansion was already very vigilant, not only were the officials of the Shendu Mansion guarding outside the door, but also the sergeants of Jin Wuwei patrolling back and forth inside and outside the Yang Mansion. But Rudong still broke in and slaughtered.
"The bricks and tiles of the roof showed signs of being moved, and the doors and windows were closed. The man must have come down from the roof and climbed in through the skylight. ”
Speaking a Si Xing Temple's catch, yesterday the famous catch was trampled on the ground by Tang Yun, and he knelt hard for an hour. Eventually, my knees were red and I couldn't stand up. Now the catcher is obviously much more honest, and Tang Yun's eyes are full of fear.
"That vixen is really old and can't be pinched in mud!"
Xue's hair was scattered, and his eyes were already red. Knowing that she had not slept all night, she still had a long sword in her hand, and looked around. Several concubines had already gathered in a pile, and several people had died in just one day in the heavily guarded Shangshu Mansion, which had already made them frightened birds.
Seeing Tang Yun come out, Xue put the long sword into the sheath, and asked the maid beside her to come to her and gather her hair, then walked up to Tang Yun and said, "Lord Tang, I have worked hard for you during this time." ”
Tang Yun sighed: "This is a matter within the official's duty, but madam, your mansion still needs to be on guard." In front of the roof and yard, manpower needs to be arranged. Just guarding against the outside, it is easy for people to find a flaw and break in. ”
Xue Shi gave a salute: "Thank you for reminding me, it's just that the old body still has something to ask for." ”
She pointed to the two bodies in the room, which were now being examined by the pestle, and whispered, "Don't let this matter go." The old man is not strict in governing the family, which is why this mess happened. ”
Xue's voice was sad as he stared at the other women in the courtyard with suspicious eyes. Several concubines were caught by her gaze, and they were all at a loss.
is a wealthy family, and the affair of a concubine hooking up with a slave is indeed a stain.
"Madam, don't worry, this official won't say it." Tang Yun seemed to remember something, and added, "Madame, do you know that Yang Shangshu had swallowed Wushi San before his death?" ”
Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what look flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "This...... I don't know. However, my lord may have used this thing before, but he has never used it in the capital. ”
Tang Yun waved his hand: "Madame, don't be nervous, I'm just asking." ”
……
Coming out of the Yang Mansion, Cui Fatzi has been following Tang Yun's side.
Now the main task of the Shendu Mansion is to stabilize the order of the capital, and the war in the north is tense, and it is inevitable that some bad rumors will spread in the capital. The Shendu Mansion is to control the spread of these rumors, and there will be many spies from the government in some restaurants and teahouses.
For the secret agent of the government, Cui Fatzi patted his chest and assured the Xue family that there would be absolutely no news leaked out. Only then did he leave the Yang Mansion in the Xue family's thousand thanks.
"Don't you have anything else to do today?" Tang Yun glanced at Cui Fatzi.
Cui Fatzi's face suddenly drooped: "Your Majesty asked me to fully assist the group of people in Si Xing Temple to find out the cause of Yang Yi's death." It seems that someone spread the news that the Yang Mansion often dies, causing the ministers to be panicked now. Wenchang Taizuo Xiang is a literati, his family lives in a bamboo house, and he is a famous Qing official. There were usually no guards, and the Empress had forced Jin Wuwei to guard near his house. Don't mention the others, even some civil officials have invited a lot of people to guard their mansions. ”
Tang Yun frowned, no wonder the empress attached so much importance to this case. At the moment of the great enemy, the ministers are panicking in their own families.
"Brother Tang, where are we going now?" Cui Fat asked with a wink.
Tang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Come with me to Fengluan Pavilion." ”
Cui Fatzi couldn't help but say it, it's still daytime, and I'm afraid that that kind of place will be impeached by Yushi in broad daylight. It didn't take until a while to wake up, that Rudong was originally the Oiran of Fengluan Pavilion, and this time he should have investigated the case. Seeing that Tang Yun had already walked away, he hurriedly chased after him.
……
The bodies of the concubine and the slave were examined with a pestle, and both were killed by the throat in the night, and there was nothing suspicious.
The case has not yet been solved, and the two bodies are to be stored in Si Xing Temple as usual. Mrs. Xue was still worried that the scandal in the family would be exposed, so she secretly gave a few quick silver catchers, so the bones were naturally smuggled out of the back door, wrapped in linen, stuffed with chaff in the mouth, and found a place to bury them casually.
No matter how closed the wall is, there are still rumors coming out.
The catcher who often walks back and forth in Yang's Mansion has attracted the attention of people nearby, and the street of Shangshanfang is full of large families, and when something happens, the slave with a big mouth will unconsciously reveal a little news when chatting with others.
When the people are tired for a long time, their lives will become a little dull, and only these things can whet people's appetites. Those who have good things have already inquired around, and only then did they know that Yang Shangshu is dead.
Not only did he die, but his family also died one after another. Seeing that the soldiers who rushed in that day, they were all here to protect Yang Shangshu's family. I heard that at night, even the Wuhou patrolling nearby was several times more.
So it was rumored that Yang Yi lived an inappropriate life and died of illness in bed. Some people also say that it is because of love killing, and there are all kinds of words. The imagination of the people is rich, and it is so funny that a scholar of the dynasty died in his bed.
The gate of Yang's Mansion was locked, and all guests who came to mourn were refused in the past few days. The nursing home in front of the door has been replaced with a simple knife, and it looks very dazzling. At this time, if anyone dares to break into the house, it is very likely to be chopped into mashed meat.
"Did you hear about it, there was a dead one in the backyard?"
"Who?"
"It's a fat man in the back kitchen. He is also unlucky, who doesn't get together at this time and take care of each other. He ran to the back kitchen by himself, saying that he was busy preparing food for his wife. Everyone knows that he is a glutton, and wants to go to the backyard to eat alone. It's good now, and I've put my life into it. I heard that when the body was found, he still had a chicken leg in his mouth. ”
"No wonder I don't usually see much meat rewarded by the master, and I dare to let this bastard swallow it privately!"
"No, he's also to blame. But I heard that that person is going to kill everyone in the mansion? ”
"Shhhh In the past few days, many people have been clamoring to leave, but the housekeeper is very strict, and our deed of sale is all with him, if you run out without permission, you will be arrested by the government and put in prison. I heard that someone in the backyard has been engaged in family law and beaten to death with a board. Don't come out at this time. ”
"Alas! The door of the house is not open, otherwise I would have run away a long time ago, and it is better to stay in prison than to be scared every day! ”
"Don't say it, we just need to know this kind of thing. Today I called Lao Zhang and a few of them, let's stay in the same courtyard and take care of each other. ”
"Look there, the body of the fat man has been carried out."
