Chapter 098: Elm Demon Murder Case II

The servant girl who served Qi Kecheng said that her father had heard a person named the drunkard Ah San, and told him in person that he had seen the elm monster on the street of the west gate of Lintong County.

Mu Yirong asked the elm monster what it looked like, and the elm monster thought for a while and replied: "The elm monster is dressed in a green dress, with a green face and sharp teeth, and its neck is like a curled snake, which can stretch out and twist its head. The main thing is a pair of eyes that are as green as a seal. ”

Hearing the description of the Zhuzhu, it was almost the same as what the Pang Guanjia said, Mu Yirong and Mu Juezhi and the others looked at each other, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Seocho stood alone in the doorway, unheard of the beads, stretched out her index finger, and rhythmically flicked the raindrops falling from the eaves.

The raindrops shattered into dozens of petals and flew everywhere, like a panicked coward who heard this strange story.

The pouring rain outside the house was like the dragon girl accidentally knocking over Guanyin Niangniang's jade bottle, and it kept pouring down, making a loud sound of a waterfall hitting the reef.

Chuizhu's father, Zhang Laohan, a gardener in Liufu, was invited over, and he was also a coachman and handyman in Liufu, wearing many hats.

Zhang Laohan had a big rosacea, smiled honestly, rubbed his hands and asked Mu Yirong a few adults, what are the instructions for calling him?

Mu Yirong first glanced at the beads, and then asked him if he heard about the elm monster in the west gate of Lintong County in a place called the drunkard Ah San, and heard about the elm monster in the west gate of Lintong County?

Zhang Laohan rubbed his hands faster when he heard this, and the people next to him seemed to smell a smell of wafting from Zhang Laohan's hands that were quickly rubbing.

"Your Excellency, you are right. Old man, I did hear from the drunkard Ah San about the old elm tree making monsters. ”

Next, Zhang Laohan explained how he escaped the surveillance of his tigress and ran to drink with the drunkard Ah San. How did he hear the drunkard Ah San tell him about the haunting of an old elm tree on the side of the road at the west gate of Lintong County, all in great detail, and told Mu Yirong completely. Even how much wine he drank with the drunkard Ah Sanhe at that time, and what snacks he ate, all of them were told without reservation.

Among Zhang Laohan's bunch of nonsense, there is a key problem, that is, the drunkard Ah San was frightened at the time, and did not come forward to check on the person who fell from under the elm tree, and finally died or lived.

Mu Juezhi's drunken people often make a lot of jokes, such as running out of the city in the middle of the night to sleep in the tomb for a night, chasing wild dogs on the street and shouting that his wife gave birth to monkeys, and even more exaggerated people, drunk and urinated in the night pot, and then used the night pot as a wine pot and drank it again.

There are so many stupid things to mention, Mu Juezhi thinks that the drunkard is talking about the elm monster, and safety is drunk and bragging, which is not credible!

When Zhang Laohan heard Mu Juezhi say this, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his expression was serious, indicating that although he and the drunkard Ah San were both addicted to alcohol, the amount and quality of wine were very good, and they had never done those embarrassing and ugly things. Anyone who knew them could testify for both of them, he Zhang Laohan didn't speak, and his friend Ah San, the drunkard, was not the liar.

Chuizhu said that her father did not lie, the drunkard Ah San told more than one person about it, Mu Yirong and others could find out if the drunkard Ah San asked.

The rainstorm outside the house gradually stopped, but it was not early, Mu Yirong asked Zhang Laohan to go back to rest, and they would go to find the drunkard Ah San tomorrow to check and see if there was really that elm monster!

Dreizhu sent his father away, and went out with a basin to fetch water, and by the way took her and another maidservant's dinner.

When she came back, she said that the housekeeper's spirit had improved a lot, and invited Mu Yirong and others to go to the front hall for dinner.

Mu Yirong said that there was no need to bother, they went back to the county government to prepare dinner by themselves, but Steward Pang had already brought people to welcome Mu Yirong and the others to eat.

Mu Yirong excused himself, but Steward Pang sincerely invited, and said that today he couldn't help but disturb Mu Yirong and the others, and also delayed Mu Yirong's precious time to handle the case, and he really couldn't help it. If his master wakes up at this time, he will also leave Mu Yirong and others to eat. And what is prepared is just a common meal, so that Mu Yirong and the others do not have a burden.

Turning to the side of the screen, Ruicao, who was looking inward, suddenly leaned into Mu Yirong's ear and said two words, Mu Yirong smiled and nodded, no longer refusing.

However, he left Hou Hu and Hou Hou Monkey to protect Liu Jingshan, so that he would not attack Liu Jingshan's escape before and return and kill one of them.

Steward Pang was slightly stunned when he heard this, glanced inward, and then nodded with a smile, complimenting Mu Yirong for being thoughtful, and he would order his subordinates to send dinner to Hou Hu and Hou Hou.

Mu Juezhi said goodbye and went home for dinner in the rain. Before leaving, Mu Yirong asked Mu Juezhi to marry a daughter-in-law quickly, so that his mother could worry less.

Mu Juezhi glanced at Seocho, smiled and asked Mu Yirong to marry him an aunt first, and when he drank Mu Yirong's wedding wine, he immediately married his daughter-in-law.

Originally, he was guarding the side and wanted to hand Mu Yirong an umbrella, but when he saw Mu Juezhi looking at Seocho when he teased Mu Yirong, he silently put down the umbrella in his hand.

Such a handsome and handsome son, and with a noble birth, naturally wants to marry a lady from a well-connected family!

Hanging Zhu looked at the backs of Mu Yirong and Seocho, who were walking side by side with umbrellas in the courtyard, and sighed softly, I heard that the two are cousins, they are really a couple, very right!

Sure enough, people have to be reincarnated in the right place!

Steward Pang didn't fool Mu Yirong, he did only prepare a few simple side dishes, but the steamed buns were steamed for many ages.

When Seocho saw the mixed noodles steamed buns, her eyes suddenly lit up, she liked to eat this sweet silk and the more she chewed the more fragrant the mixed noodles steamed buns.

Only Steward Pang sat with him at dinner, and he said apologetically, he didn't dare to alarm his pregnant wife, and neglected the two officials, I hope forgive me!

Mu Yirong smiled and said that it was okay, but he wanted to thank Steward Pang for his hard work in preparing meals for them, he was very embarrassed to disturb him.

, Seeing that Steward Pang's spirit had improved a lot, he asked him if he had heard of any enemies in Liu Jingshan?

Steward Pang Liandao is a matter of duty, not enough to worry about, anyway, he is lonely when he eats alone, accompanied by Mu Yirong and Ruicao, it is lively and lively, and it feels much more fragrant to eat.

Steward Pang said, suddenly changed his words, and asked Mu Yirong and the others what case they came to investigate this time?

Mu Yirong looked at Steward Pang and smiled slightly: "It's not a big deal, it's that when Dali Temple was investigating not long ago, he took a gambling house opened by a road bandit, and I heard that there were fish hidden in Lintong County, so I came to investigate." ”

The gray hair hanging down from Steward Pang's forehead covered his eyes, Mu Yirong couldn't see the emotion in those cloudy eyes, but he saw the slight tremor of Steward Pang's right hand in his eyes.

Throwing stones to ask for directions, it seems that the stone he threw out hit the frog!
