When the catchers heard Chen Jinbao say this, they all gasped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Chief, who do you think that person is?" Li Gui asked.

Chen Jinbao thought for a moment, then shook his head again.

"Maybe it's Wang San, maybe it's someone else, this is not clear now, you can only guess."

Wang Fugui bit his thumb and continued: "Master, I think Wang San is more suspicious, because only he knows what happened the night before. Of course, if he hadn't gotten all over the place about the night before. ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, clasping his hands in his arms and falling into thought. At this point, all the catchers fell silent.

Ma Zhuang, who was sitting opposite Chen Jinbao, looked at this scene and said, "Oh, boss! Don't think about this kind of thing, just look around and listen to whose mouth this rumor is coming from. ”

Chen Jinbao raised his eyes and looked at Ma Zhuang.

"So where are you going to start?"

Ma Zhuang looked around, then turned around and patted the guests at the table next to him with his hand.

"Hey, I want to ask you, do you know about the haunting here last night?"

The guest looked at Ma Zhuang with a puzzled look on his face, and replied, "I know, sir, what's wrong?" ”

"Who are you listening to about this?"

The guest thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm..... My father, my second uncle, Uncle Wang next door, the widow of Zhou at the door, the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop, and the shopkeeper of the bun shop, as well as ........"

Ma Zhuang was a little impatient.

"So many people have told you about this?"

The guest nodded.

"yes. Everyone said a little different, like my father said that there was a female ghost asking for her life at the mouth of the Zhu family's alley, and the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop said that he hanged a woman, and the widow Zhou at the door of my family said that a few strong young men died, and Uncle Wang next door said that a few pretty old ladies died, and then ........"

Ma Zhuang was almost dizzy when he heard this, he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Okay! Come on! Thank you. ”

Then, Ma Zhuang turned around, and Chen Jinbao was glaring at him.

"Boss, I'm sorry, the little one made a mistake...... Hey. ”

Chen Jinbao kept looking at him and smiled, then he stood up and said, "Okay, brothers, let's go." Ma Zhuang, you paid for the tea. ”

"Ahh

Ma Zhuang was directly stunned, Chen Jinbao got up and left directly with people. As soon as a few catchers left, the shopkeeper came.

"Official, do you settle the bill?"

Ma Zhuang half-opened his mouth and looked at the shopkeeper.

............

Chen Jinbao and his entourage came to the door of the Jin family's house, and just about to knock on the door, Chen Jinbao turned around and asked Ma Zhuang: "Has the money been paid?" ”

Ma Zhuang hung his head and said, "It's paid." ”

A few catchers looked at the dejected Ma Zhuang and laughed secretly.

Chen Jinbao turned his head and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Boom.... Boom..... Boom"

After a while, the door opened, and it was an old man who looked to be in his fifties.

"Ouch, a few officials, this is ........"

Chen Jinbao smiled.

"Oh, sir, we are here for the case of your wife."

The old man nodded and said, "Oh, those officials, please." ”

The old man invited Chen Jinbao and his entourage to come in and led them inside.

"I haven't asked what to call him." Chen Jinbao said.

The old man replied, "Oh, the old man is the butler here, and his master's surname is Jin. ”

"Oh, then the troublesome butler will take us to your master."

"Okay, please."

Chen Jinbao and his entourage quickly followed the housekeeper behind, and found that the maids and maids were arranging white cloth and white flowers for funerals along the way.

"Butler, where is your master and young master now?"

The butler replied, "Oh, the old man and the young master are all worshipping the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall. Hey, who would have thought this would happen? ”

Chen Jinbao then asked: "Excuse me, how long have you been a housekeeper in this house?" ”

"Back to adulthood, I entered the Jin family at the age of fifteen."

"Oh."

Chen Jinbao nodded.

As they spoke, they came to the ancestral hall of the Jin family, where Master Jin and Young Master Jin were kneeling and kowtowing.

"Ouch, the ancestors and the ancestors bless, the children and grandchildren are not happy in this life!"

Master Jin's words almost didn't make Chen Jinbao laugh.

"Ahem...."

Chen Jinbao coughed twice, and the two fathers and sons of the Jin family looked back and saw that the catchers were coming, and hurriedly wiped their tears and stood up.

Young Master Jin stepped forward and bowed to Chen Jinbao and said, "The adults are not welcome when they come to the cold house, and they hope to atone for their sins. ”

Chen Jinbao raised his hand.

"Young Master Jin is polite, if your house can still be called a humble house, there are few good houses in the county."

Trembling for a few words, Chen Jinbao moved his gaze to Master Jin again, who was still wiping his tears there.

Chen Jinbao stepped forward and said to Master Jin: "Master Jin mourns, people can't be resurrected after death." ”

Master Jin wiped his tears, and then said to Chen Jinbao: "My lord, you are right, people cannot be resurrected after death, so the villain is begging the ancestors and ancestors to bless the villain to continue his marriage." ”

Chen Jinbao rubbed his head with his hand, thinking, why did the murderer who didn't have long eyes want to kill that girl, not to kill this old immortal?

"Haha, Master Jin, then I wish you can renew your marriage, you can continue."

After speaking, Chen Jinbao and his entourage quickly left the ancestral hall, and the housekeeper also went out with him.

Walking to the courtyard outside, Chen Jinbao stopped and asked the housekeeper: "Mr. Jin, I want to ask you, you have been in this family for so long, counting this, how many ladies has your master married?" ”

The housekeeper had an embarrassed expression on his face, and Chen Jinbao could see that he was reluctant to say this.

"Mr. Jin, if you don't want to say, there are too few clues, and I can't solve the case." Chen Jinbao said.

The housekeeper bowed to Chen Jinbao and said, "My lord, please don't be embarrassed, this eater of the master's food, how can there be a reason to sell the master." ”

Chen Jinbao looked at the housekeeper and smiled.

"Hahaha, Mr. is really an honest man, just ask you about this, what kind of ugly thing do you say, what is so difficult to hide?"

The housekeeper immediately covered his mouth, he knew that he had missed something, but he still didn't want to say it.

Chen Jinbao took a deep breath and continued: "Sir, I didn't know about your family affairs, but your young master told me something when he was in the yamen, so I came to ask, you don't have to hide anything and just tell me directly, the yamen will definitely keep your family affairs secret." ”

The butler thought for a moment with a sad face, and then he slapped his thigh.

"Hey! Adult, villain, let me tell you! Counting this master, this is the fourth lady. ”

Chen Jinbao nodded.

"Well, the fourth lady, the first three ladies have all passed away, right? And this young master's mother was originally a maid in the house, and she was given by your master........ Right? ”

The butler sighed, shook his head, and said, "Yes, my lord, you know everything. ”

Chen Jinbao turned his head, glanced at Master Jin who was still kowtowing in the ancestral hall, and then asked the housekeeper: "Please tell me about this lady in your family, I only heard that she is a fireworks woman." ”

The butler nodded with a sad face and said, "Yes, my lord." She was originally a prostitute, and the master had to marry her, but the villain didn't listen to the old man no matter how he persuaded her, this dead mother-in-law, she ...... I'm sorry sir. She also said that she and the master are a godsend, and the two are happy, hey! The villain is a subordinate, and the villain does not dare to disobey the orders of the master's family, and can only help the master handle the marriage. And this kind of thing is so ugly, so it doesn't make a big deal, and outsiders don't know about it. ”

"Hmmm......"

Chen Jinbao wrapped one hand around his chest and touched his chin with the other and thought about it.

"Listen to what Mr. means, it seems that no one in your family likes her."

The butler stomped his foot vigorously.

"My lord, if it's you, do you like this mother-in-law? The whole family wishes that she would die soon! ”

The housekeeper wiped the tears rolling in his eyes, Chen Jinbao looked at the housekeeper's appearance, and thought, how hated this mother-in-law is.

"Sir, your wife, oh no, does this dead woman have a grudge against anyone in your family?"

The housekeeper said angrily: "My lord, the villain told you that except for the master, she has a grudge!" Everybody hates her! She is just a prostitute, relying on the master to marry her, domineering to the people, nothing to do to beat the maid's house, two days ago she locked a maid in the firewood room and locked up for a day and a night, she didn't say anything, so that the people ran out to find it, almost went to report to the official, and finally found out....... Ay! The villain really misses the time when the old lady and the old woman were there, and they are really two great good people. Before leaving, he also set up a rule, so that the people are optimistic, the master is not allowed to marry a concubine, so that the master is merciful, in recent years, the old man is older, fortunately, there are often people from brothels to ask for accounts, fortunately, the family has a lot of money, which keeps the reputation! ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, and turned his head to look at Master Jin, who was still kneeling in the ancestral hall, making some shameless demands on his ancestors.

"Where's that maid now?"

The butler replied, "She is busy with her work now, do you need to ask her questions?" ”

"Uh-huh........"

At this time, a family member suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Whew..... Call...... Tube.... Tube..... Butler, big ...... My lord, over there...... ...... over there" (To be continued.) )
