Chapter 108: Discuss important matters
Qunfangyuan is the name of a teaching workshop.
And this one happened to be the one adjacent to Xu Zun's Residence Inn.
"Know, know...... After all these years, you are the only one who still remembers that Yu Yao," said a middle-aged woman with a plump body and a bewitching dress, "I really didn't expect you to find me here!" ”
The middle-aged woman who spoke was the lady of Qunfangyuan, and there was a difference between the teaching workshop division and the flower building, where entertainment was emphasized, while the flower building highlighted the style.
Therefore, the steward of the Workshop Division is called a lady, not a "nanny".
The reason why Xu Zun and the others found this place was because this lady knew one of the victims of the corpse case of the monk-clothed woman back then, a woman named Yu Yao.
"That's right," My Lady didn't have the slightest pretension, and directly said the answer Xu Zun wanted, "Yu Yao did give birth to a child before she was killed!"
"Alas, the peach blossoms are thin, and life is not harmonious," My Fair Lady seemed to fall into painful memories, "Who can decide her own fate for a woman like us?" ”
"In that case......," Zhao Yu wondered, "Why did you give birth?" ”
"Alas!" My Fair Lady sighed, "Like many infatuated sisters, Yu Yao met a man who promised to redeem her.
"We all tried to persuade her after we had flesh and blood, but she was willing to believe the man.
"Finally...... Heh......"
This wry smile expresses endless sadness.
"That kid ......," Xu Zun asked, "Gave it away?" To whom? ”
"If you give it to a monk, where else can you send it?" My Lady replied, "I remember that in order to cut off Yuyao's thoughts, the nanny at that time sent the child to a temple that was very far away.
"If that kid were still alive, he would be in his teens by now, right?"
Really......
Xu Zun nodded secretly, it seems that his speculation is good, and the monk's clothes case ten years ago was also because of this reason.
After sending the child away, Na Yuyao went to Huguo Temple every year to burn incense and make vows to pray for the child she sent away.
Perhaps, it was because of her dedication to repentance, or maybe it was because she was discussing with others, and her affairs were finally heard by Pity, which caused a catastrophe.
"Although our Hualou woman has a humble life, but ......" I didn't expect that remembering the sad incident ten years ago, my fair lady actually shed tears, "That mad monk can't take her life like this!"
"I heard that the monk lived happily in prison for several more years before he was finally beheaded! What a bargain for him! ”
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun asked, "After Yu Yao was killed, did you mention to Yu Yao that Yu Yao had a child?" ”
"No? It seems to be ......" My Lady recalled with her heart, shook her head and said, "They didn't ask either, did they?" They don't ask about this kind of thing, but what do we say?
"Besides, the mad monk killed people, and my aunt never gave birth to a child, what else does it have to do with it?"
"Yes, yes......" In order not to make her suspicious, Xu Zun had to skip it perfunctorily.
After coming out of Qunfang Courtyard, Xu Zun's speculation became clearer, and the statement of the sin of reincarnation was just a diversion of the target.
The reason he really killed people was because these women had illegitimate children and gave them to the temple to raise.
It's just that Xu Zun can't be sure so far, whether Liankong is really the real murderer?
It stands to reason that it is possible that he was also a child who was sent to the temple and raised by monks.
Therefore, the deformity in his heart makes it reasonable for him to have murderous thoughts.
However, now that the monk's robe case has reappeared, it is obvious that something was omitted back then.
It is also possible that the confession of mercy is to protect someone!
Who to protect?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun immediately thought of Liankong's age, when he committed the crime, Liankong was already in his fifties.
If he is not the real murderer, but just wants to protect someone, then this person must be his closest relative.
Poor and empty, who will this person be......?
Could it be ......
Just thinking of this, Xu Zun and the three of them had already come to the door of the inn where they lived.
The inn they live in is called Jinde, and it is also a medium-to-upper inn in Shangyuan City.
Who knows, the three of them looked towards the door of the inn and saw two waves of acquaintances.
One was Xu Zun's butler Liu Dong, but he saw that Liu Dong was carrying a wine jar on his shoulders and was about to carry it to the inn.
The other wave of people was the family members of the Marquis of Changping, who were surrounding a very luxurious carriage, as if they were waiting for someone.
"Liu Dong?" Zhao Yu stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get such a jar of wine?" You're not going to hide it from adults again, are you? ”
"This ......" Liu Dong's face tightened, and he said with great embarrassment, "I bought this good wine from Taixian Mansion on the order of Lord Xu!" ”
"What, Taixian Tower?" Zhao Yu frowned and turned to look at Xu Zun.
"Well, that's good," Xu Zun said with a smile, "I went to a banquet in Taixian Tower the day before yesterday, and found that the wine there was delicious, so I asked Liu Dong to buy a jar, what's the matter, is there a problem?" ”
"I didn't ...... Didn't ......" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he swallowed greedily, "Lord Xu is so Yaxing, wait...... When the case is over, will you reward me with an altar? ”
"Don't say it," Huo Anu also looked at the wine jar with envy, "That wine is indeed very delicious, and it is not the same taste as the wine of our Western Regions at all......
"No problem, hehe......" Xu Zun smiled and asked Liu Dong, "Liu Dong, this is the carriage of the Hou Mansion, is there anyone looking for me?" ”
"Hmmm......"
"Master Xu," who knows, when the coachman heard Xu Zun's question, he immediately stepped forward and said, "My Miss Lu is looking for you, she just went in with Wei Daochang, I'll go and call them out!" ”
Oh?
Lu Mingyue?
Xu Zun frowned slightly, he didn't expect Lu Xiaomei to find the inn.
"Brother Xu?" As a result, before the coachman entered the house, Lu Mingyue's silver bell-like voice came from the door, "I can be regarded as finding you!" ”
In the next second, I saw Lu Mingyue, who was dressed in a beautiful red dress, running out of the inn, followed by the Wei Beihui Taoist.
Nowadays, there are frequent crimes in Shangyuan City, and all of them involve young women, so Wei Beihui's identity has changed from a nursing home to Miss Lu's personal bodyguard.
Because of this, Wei Beihui still looked helpless and listless.
"Mingyue," Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Fortunately, we didn't go upstairs," Lu Mingyue happily ran to Xu Zun and said kindly, "I'm here to discuss something important with you!" ”
"This ......" Xu Zun first signaled to Liu Dong and let Liu Dong carry the wine jar in, and then asked Lu Mingyue, "What's the big deal?" ”
"Of course it's Lu Xiaofeng's business," Lu Mingyue pulled Xu Zun to the side of the few people and said, "Brother Xu, we discussed it when we went back yesterday and decided to go to the northern suburbs today to check it out!" ”
"Oh?" Xu Zun pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you check?" ”
"We have checked, there is only one official road to the north of Shangyuan City leading to Wude City, and there are at least five or six Taoist temples on this official road. We want to check it out today and see if these people in the Taoist temple have seen Lu Xiaofeng's family? ”
"This ...... Little sister," Xu Zun said worriedly, "this is too dangerous! You have to bring enough people! ”
"I know, without conclusive evidence, your government will not send troops," Lu Mingyue said, "So, I'm just going to investigate first, as long as I find a problem, I'll come back and report to you, and then send troops, how about it?" ”
"You ......" Xu Zun was even more worried, "Does Master Hou agree?" This can't be child's play! ”
"My dad knows, don't worry, don't worry!" When Lu Mingyue spoke, her eyes dodged, and she was clearly lying......
