Daming King of Punishment

But Situ Wen then said: "That Mrs. Hou is right beside them, and they don't shy away from it. Don't they think it's okay if Mrs. Hou can't hear you?" Xian was puzzled and said: "However, Madam Hou is also true. Just talking about these words next to her, she really acted as if she didn't hear it, and she didn't even have any extra expressions on her face."

"Then there is indeed something wrong with Mrs. Hou." Speaking of this Mrs. Hou, although Situ Wen said just now that the murderer must not be her, but now he still feels weird.As for Song Wuya, whether it was when they went to the Hou's mansion or when they left the Hou's mansion, this Madam Hou just said some polite words to them, not to mention the excessive case. That's not asking at all. "When we went and left, she didn't even tell us about the case, nor did she ask if our investigation had progressed. Even when she talked about it, there was no emotion in her eyes. No, it seems that Hou Ye's death is not an important matter to him at all, and she doesn't care at all."

"Brother Wu Ya, this is also a very normal thing." Bai Zhuo didn't think that what Song Wuya was wondering about was anything strange. "Didn't we already know that before? The relationship between Lord Hou and his wife is not very good. Lord Hou has been promiscuous everywhere, and he has already ignored her lady. How many times has Mrs. Hou quarreled with Lord Hou? She will be happy when Master Hou is dead."

"Okay, let's take a break for now, let's go and have a look in the afternoon." Song Wuya breathed out, his mind was already full of various questions, if he continued to discuss, he was afraid that it would become confusing .

The other three nodded and did not continue to discuss anything.

In the afternoon, the four of them came to Hou Mansion again.

Hu Butou didn't come with him this time, but the people in the Hou Mansion already knew a few of them.

Seeing four people coming, Menzi immediately reported to the inside.

Not long after, Madam Hou came to the door to welcome the four of them again, and brought them closer to the courtyard.

Bypass the screen wall and enter the courtyard.Just like in the morning, the Buddhist rituals of the monks are still going on, and I don't know how long it will last.

Stopping in the morning, Song Wuya put a stick of incense on the deceased, this time he stopped in front of the mourning hall again: "Madam Hou, how long have you been doing this ceremony?"

"It's been nearly two months." Madam Hou saw that Song Wuya stopped suddenly, and followed suit, looking in the direction of the mourning hall.

There are quite a few monks, and all of them are well-dressed. It can be seen from the situation that they must be the eminent monks in the big temple near Songjiang Prefecture.

"Then how long will it take?" Song Wuya was very curious. This ceremony has been done for two months and is still going on. Even if the family has money, it will not be like this.

Mrs. Hou immediately explained: "Ninety-nine and 81 days have to be completed, so that Lord Hou can go through 81 years and go directly to bliss without falling into reincarnation."

"Oh! So it's so particular!" Song Wuya kept nodding his head, it was indeed too particular, but there was nothing wrong with it, Song Wuya didn't ask more questions.

The Buddhist rituals of the monks were still going on, Song Wuya didn't go to bother him since then, he just looked around and signaled Mrs. Hou to go forward, and went directly to the courtyard where the crime was committed.

Soon, several people walked to the entrance of the courtyard that Situ Wen had mentioned earlier.It really wasn't a moon gate here, but a square door opening.

Immediately, Song Wuya asked about this door: "Ma'am, the door of this courtyard is strange, why is it not like the Moon Gate in other people's homes? Is there something special about it?"

"This..." When Song Wuya asked about this matter, Mrs. Hou's face showed embarrassment, and she hesitated to say it.

After a long time, Mrs. Hou shook her head: "When I married into the Hou's Mansion, it was like this. I don't know what it is about. It is indeed as the adults said, the average family should be a moon gate. This I didn't come to the yard before, but after my father-in-law died, Lord Hou often lived here, and I came here a few times, but I didn't think about it at the time, and I didn't ask what was going on with this gate."

There was no explanation from the courtyard gate, which is not surprising for Song Wuya.This obviously has nothing to do with the fact that the courtyard gate has existed for a long time, and the murder case in front of us.

Because Situ Wen talked about the weirdness of this yard at noon, Song Wuya also focused on this yard, he wanted to take a good look at what was weird about this yard.

Bai Zhuo, who was following beside him, had already started searching for something in the yard with his eyes.

The house Situ Wen mentioned was indeed in the middle of the courtyard, and there were indeed many flowers and plants around the house.These flowers and plants are scattered in a special way, and it seems that they are random, as if they were arranged casually.

He didn't continue to think about what Mrs. Hou asked, but looked around.

The flowers and plants pointed out by Situ Wen in front of him attracted Song Wuya's special attention. He felt that these flowers and plants were not planted randomly, they must be planted regularly.

"Mrs. Hou, I would like to ask you, is there a maid named Xiaowan in the house?"

Song Wuya stopped asking, but Bai Zhuo took over the job.

As soon as Xiaowan was mentioned, Mrs. Hou's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Why did your lord ask this? Did someone gossip with you? My lord, don't listen to what they say."

Mrs. Hou seemed to be very nervous about this Xiao Wan. Just as Bai Zhuo asked, she seemed to guess what Bai Zhuo had heard.

She defended directly, which made Bai Zhuo a little helpless.

He had no choice but to repeat the question in detail: "Mrs. Hou, I just want to know where this maid named Xiao Wan is now."

"She..." Madam Hou hesitated before saying, "I have already driven her away."

"Why did Madam drive Xiao Wan away?" Bai Zhuo asked after hearing these words.

But his questioning made Mrs. Hou very unhappy: "My lord, this is a family matter of our Hou's mansion. As the master of the Hou's mansion, can't I drive away a servant?"

Bai Zhuo bowed slightly, as an apology to Mrs. Hou for this matter. After straightening up, Bai Zhuo said politely: "Forgive me for taking the liberty, this is indeed a family matter of your Marquis's residence, madam. Originally, I shouldn't be involved in it. Now there is a murder case in the Hou Mansion, Master Hou died unexpectedly, and the murderer is still at large. I just want to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Since this happened in the Hou Mansion, everything in the Hou Mansion may be related to the case , I hope Madam can cooperate."

Bai Zhuo politely made it clear that they came to investigate the case, not to manage their family affairs.Madam Hou is naturally very concerned about the progress of this case.But if she cared about the case, then Bai Zhuo asked her some questions in order to solve the case, and she should cooperate.

After hearing Bai Zhuo's words, Mrs. Hou took a deep breath: "Xiao Wan, relying on her youth and a bit of beauty, actually seduced Master Hou. As Mrs. Hou, how can I tolerate her?" Such a servant. So, I drove her away."

"So that's how it is." Bai Zhuo nodded after hearing this: "So Madam drove Xiao Wan away on the day when the crime happened?"

"Exactly." Madam Hou was very happy this time, she just nodded in response.

"Now that Lord Marquis is gone, has Madam reported the hereditary title to the court?" Bai Zuo finished asking Xiao Wan, and then asked about the title.

"No." Madam Hou shook her head.

This obviously made Bai Zhuo feel very strange, he said in surprise: "Is it because of the young Lord?"

"No." Madam Hou said with a cold face.

After Bai Zhuo saw this question was asked, Madam Hou's expression changed again, and Madam Hou's answer made him immediately understand what was going on.

Obviously, Lord Marquis has not left any heirs, so if this happens, no one will inherit the title of Lord Marquis.It's no wonder Madam Hou didn't report to the imperial court. It seems that she was afraid that after reporting, the imperial court would search back everything that originally belonged to their Hou Mansion.

Bai Zhuo was also sensible, so he didn't continue to pursue this question. He thought for a while and asked again: "After the accident of Lord Hou, did anyone leave the Hou's mansion?"

"No." Madam Hou said with a cold face, shaking her head.

This point needs to be confirmed. The murderer is almost certain to be someone from the Hou's Mansion. If no one leaves the Hou's Mansion after the incident, the murderer must still be hiding in the Hou's Mansion.

After asking this question, Bai Zhuo nodded. Seeing his appearance, it was obvious that he had nothing to ask.

He sorted out a lot of questions before, but at this time Bai Zhuo didn't ask any of the previous questions.

"Brother Wuya, shall we go to the scene again?" Turning around, Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya and asked him a question.

Song Wuya shook his head: "Don't rush in, let's talk about it later."

Song Wuya was also listening carefully to the questions that Bai Zhuo asked Mrs. Hou just now. He naturally felt that these questions were still too few.

He also took advantage of the time Bai Zhuo was asking, and looked carefully at the yard.

"Mrs. Hou, why are the flowers and plants in this courtyard not concentrated, why are they scattered here and there? Don't you think it looks messy?"
