Chapter 2 Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots

In addition to Meng Kang, there are only Ying'er and Mingyu in the entire Meng Mansion.

The Meng Mansion is not like other families, and it is not as good as Meng Kang in comparison, and there are more than two maids to serve them.

Servants, domestic servants, handymen, cooks, all kinds of servants, there are no more than three or five people.

Meng Kang is different from ordinary people, there are more than a dozen slaves in the two families who earn less than eight per month, and one of them will resign if he earns more than one point.

After only three or five years, there were only three masters and servants left in the family.

Meng Kang returned to the room, hid the knife book under the pillow, raised his hand to put down the bed tent, and slept peacefully.

When it came to the third watch, Mingyu in the courtyard took a Hu bed, just a knife, and put a wooden barrel next to him that is usually used to hold vegetables.

She leaned over and sat down with her skirt bent over, picked up the steel knife from the ground, Ying'er seemed to be familiar with the road, and when she saw her sister picking up the steel knife, she immediately dragged the corpse and put her neck on the side of the barrel. Ying'er grabbed Wang Wu's hair tightly, Mingyu held a steel knife, the blue light flashed, and a blood mark appeared between Wang Wu's neck, gradually oozing blood from the inside out.

Seeing this, Mingyu reached out and touched the blade of the knife, and said; I haven't used it for a long time, and it's not very sharp. ”

I had to make another cut, and the blood gushed out, and it didn't take long for a whole bucket to be connected.

Wang Wu's corpse was drained of blood, his face was pale, and his lips were yellow, like a monk who would not rot after death.

The whole corpse exuded a trace of blood, a slight cool breeze blowing on the face, with a hint of sweetness, a hint of milkiness in the sweetness, and a saltiness as if it was on the tip of the tongue.

Ying'er saw the strong smell of blood in the bucket, so she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and put it on for Mingyu, while she covered her mouth and nose, her face full of disgust.

"Sister, this guy is going to disgust us. She didn't have a good impression of Wang Wu, she had met Meng Kang when he was learning knives before.

Ying'er gets along with Meng Kang all the year round, and when she sees all kinds of men, she feels that she is a big step worse than her master.

This Wang Wu looks vulgar, his voice is not very good, and no one is in the time, he looks like a hillbilly when he is alone in the courtyard, and he touches around to see, which can make her wipe it for a while.

"Don't complain, quickly mix this plasma with some water and cover it, and go to the river tomorrow to dump it." Mingyu commanded, and Ying'er went back to the house to make two parts of a bucket of blood water, mixed them with water, and rubbed lemon juice on the side of the bucket to avoid mosquitoes.

Ying'er finished her work, turned around and walked out the door, and saw that her sister had already disposed of the corpse, but the head on the ground was very conspicuous.

Ying'er asked, "What to do with the head?"

Mingyu didn't say a word, only held his head and meditated for a while, and then said: "Leave a piece for the uncle to make a wine bowl, chop the remaining meat into filling, grind the bones into powder, and cook a bowl of soup for the hungry." ”

After hearing this, Ying'er only nodded her head in agreement, then her face changed, she put on a wicked smile, and said faintly: "Sister, you think so thoughtfully, the one in our family is still sleeping well." ”

She didn't complain about this, she had another intention, but she didn't explain it.

Mingyu knew her intentions, but she didn't say anything, only holding her head, her brows tightened, as if she had something on her mind.

Seeing this, Ying'er said intentionally or unintentionally: "The flowers can be reopened, and people are old and have no young ......."

She teased again and again, but Mingyu finally couldn't bear it, threw her head far away, and shouted: "Don't be verbose!"

said that her expression darkened, looking at the weak, she didn't care where she was, she was helpless at all.

In other words, she didn't give half a good face, but she didn't dare to have any atmosphere in the face of Meng Kang.

Seeing that she was so cowardly and her sister again, Ying'er didn't feel angry in her heart, but only stomped on it, put the basin on the ground, and said angrily: "You have to worry about yourself! Don't come to me if you suffer a big loss!"

Mingyu had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and sighed: "I can't do anything about you, alas, ......"

In the early morning of the next day, Mingyu took care of all the things in his hands, never closed his eyes all night, and went to the stove to cook.

But I was afraid that the dishes I made today would not suit the appetite of the petty officials, so I turned back halfway to find Meng Kang.

As soon as she walked outside the door, she walked slowly up the steps, wiped the mouth on her head, exhaled, tidied up her appearance, and then knocked on the door.

The knock on the door was not hurried or slow, Meng Kang was not too heavy to sleep, and when he woke up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the door, and when he opened the curtain, he saw that there was a light that penetrated into the house, and he knew that it was early morning.

Meng Kang saw that she was still knocking on the door, so he answered: "Yu'er, I'll go out now, you work all night, and go to rest for a while, and I'll do it." ”

When Mingyu saw the answer in the house, she knew that she felt sorry for herself, and she felt beautiful in her heart, so she said: "How dare you let the uncle do it for you, or let me go, and use Mingyu to serve and change clothes?"

Meng Kang put on his clothes while speaking, walked to the door and opened the door, and when he saw Mingyu, he immediately smiled and said with concern: "Look at you, your face is covered with sweat, why don't you go to rest quickly, I won't die of hunger if I eat less." ”

Mingyu wanted to say something more, but Meng Kang pushed her shoulders and took her back to her boudoir, and watched her go back to her room, so she was relieved.

When Meng Kang saw her enter the boudoir, his face changed and he remembered what happened to Wang Wu.

It stands to reason that if you kill Wang Wu, and then spend some money to dismiss the group of disciples, the people don't sue the officials and don't correct, the yamen is their own family, Meng Kang is not afraid of her sue, but he is afraid that they will not be forgiven.

If you report to the yamen, the magistrate and a group of soldiers will naturally be directed towards you, and the people in the city will inevitably point fingers.

For today's plan, there is only to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Wang Guanying is scarce, there are only a dozen people, not to mention that Wang Wu has no one in his eyes on weekdays, and he does not make friends with others, so he takes this opportunity to blame the enemy.

The sick daughter-in-law knew that her husband had been murdered, and she was probably going to be angry to death, so naturally she couldn't do anything to herself.

Now the only person who makes Meng Kang embarrassed is Wang Wu's dead ghost wife, if he kills her, everything will naturally be fine, and there will be no worries.

But after killing her, once the matter is revealed, it is inevitable that he will fall into the mouth, not to mention that according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the murderer will be imprisoned for three years, if the matter is not successful and the other party is injured, he will be hanged, and the person who has been killed will be beheaded.

What's more, he is the criminal officer of this county, and knowing the law and breaking the law is a crime plus one degree.

But Meng Kang thought about it, if this matter really stabbed the official's family, Taishi Cai would definitely be able to speak, and if he spoke out to protect him, this little life would definitely be saved.

What's more, if you really talk about it, the county order will call yourself uncle, and as long as the two of them join forces, it will not be difficult to suppress this matter.

Thinking of this, Meng Kang's hanging heart could be regarded as falling, humming a little song on his lips, and walking slowly towards the south courtyard.

After the door of the cave is the south courtyard, I saw a small door of vermilion lacquer, Meng Kang pushed the door straight in, he didn't know what to do, only cooked a pot of porridge, three or five small dishes, and walked directly to the main hall with a tray, put the food on the table, and then called Ying'er to accompany him.

The more Meng Kang thought about it, the more peaceful he became, and he even got Wang Wu's knife score, and his heart was full of beauty, full of spring breeze.

Ying'er didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know what he was laughing at, she couldn't hide it in her heart, so she couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you laughing at?"

Meng Kang saw that she had this question, she was not an outsider, not to mention that if she told the matter, even if she was not a murderer, she would have to be responsible for betraying her master, so she immediately had something to say.

Meng Kang's thoughts and thoughts were all revealed, Ying'er listened to it and said yes again and again, but shook her head again and again, Meng Kang didn't understand what it meant, so she asked, "Why did the little lady shake her head?"

Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Master, how much surplus silver taels do we have?"

Meng Kang didn't know why she had such a question, so he calculated it and replied: "I only said that my fifteen mansions in Xunyang County, as well as the five hundred acres of fertile land, and these twenty-seven pharmacies, as well as the goods that were pressed, are all counted, which is enough for 300,000 taels. Counting the pharmacy and tailor shop in Kaifeng Mansion, the restaurant in Henan Mansion, the Qinglou, the money house, the teahouse, the pawnshop, the porcelain, salt and iron, and silk village in the Daimyo Mansion, all the businesses in various places are counted together, and there should be six million taels. ”

Ying'er nodded, put down the chopsticks, and said, "Master, how many years is six million taels of silver enough for the people of the whole county?"

Meng Kang didn't know how many years he could eat, so he only touched it and said, "This ...... More than a hundred years?", Ying'er's little eyes rolled, the two looked at each other, Meng Kang listened to what she said, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he said it bluntly.

Ying'er let out a long sigh and said bluntly: "You just feed the two of them! A blind dead old woman and a sick little lady can eat a few catties of grain? Wang Wu is just these two close relatives, if they don't look for them, if they don't go to look for them, who will sue us!"

Meng Kang woke up like a dream when he heard this, slapped his head with his big hand, and said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, I just need to make up three or five lies, and fool the two of them into the house, so ......" Meng Kang was like an initiation, put the rice bowl in his hand on the table, and strode out of the door.

Ying'er saw that he didn't eat a few bites and left, so she stopped him and said, "Master, no matter how anxious you are, you can fill your stomach before leaving!"

Meng Kang was completely indulged in joy and couldn't extricate himself, how could he take care of this mere desire for his tongue?

He strode out of the door, and went straight to the king's camp outside the southern city, and he didn't even have time to move his horse, and he stopped and stopped as he walked past his own medicine shop.

He looked up at the pharmacy he opened, the old plaque, and the five big characters with vigorous and powerful words on it: Meng Jiasheng Pharmacy.

Meng Kang said in his heart: "When I came to the door, I was empty-handed, which is really against etiquette, it is said that the little lady is delicate and weak, I will give her some tonics, and I can enter the door as a guest." ”

He waved his hand like in the house, and the guys in the house saw that the owner was coming, and hurried out to respond. That guy was in his twenties, he was born ordinary, but his mouth was extremely sweet, and when he saw Meng Kang, he said repeatedly: "Forgive sins, forgive sins!"

Meng Kang didn't talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "You can take a few tonics and pay another twenty taels of silver." ”

The man is a knowledgeable person, not for him to ask, he will never ask more than half a mouthful, but according to Meng Kang's instructions, he took a few tonics and twenty taels of silver.

Meng Kang was very satisfied with the medicine and silver, so he took fifty yuan from his arms and gave it to him, he thanked him again and again, but Meng Kang ignored him and left without saying a word......
