Daming King of Punishment
Page 999
The butler spoke out all the ins and outs in one go.
As Song Wuya's guess was correct, the skeletons that were dug up in front of him were indeed those women who were brought back by Lord Hou.They were not sent outside the city, but buried directly in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
It's no wonder why so many women's bodies were sent out, but the magistrate's yamen didn't get any news.
"Sure enough, things went as I expected." Song Wuya said proudly here like hindsight.
After telling all this, the housekeeper also felt relieved, probably it would be uncomfortable to keep this secret in his heart.
The positions of these flowers and plants in the courtyard are indeed learned, and Bai Zhuo really hit the mark.This weird placement is indeed related to Yin-Yang Taoism.Lord Hou is really confused, he actually really believed in such a thing.
The dozen or so women brought back by him were probably all murdered.
"There are only seven people here, what about the other people?" Bai Zhuoke memorized this number, the number here is obviously wrong, he can't ignore the others.
The housekeeper said with a bitter face, "The others were buried outside the city."
Those women did not escape their fate, and they all died unexpectedly.But now the truth is finally revealed.
Lord Hou is dead, and it is impossible to confirm whether these women were killed by him.Song Wuya didn't fully believe what the butler said, he didn't know what secrets the butler was hiding, but he knew very well that at least half of the words he heard from the butler today were false.
Having said this, Song Wuya naturally wanted to find out the origins of these women.
"Who are they?" Song Wuya looked at the housekeeper and asked.
"Master Hou bought them from other places, some are peasant girls, some are brothel girls." The housekeeper knew this very well, and he immediately answered Song Wuya's question.
Hearing these words, Song Wuya thought that their identities might not be confirmed.
As far as the layout in front of me is concerned, what the butler just said is quite trustworthy.Lord Hou has no heirs, so it is not impossible to use this method to obtain heirs.But such an extreme method is indeed a bit unacceptable.
The bones were all dug out, and Wu Zuo also came to the scene, Song Wuya still asked him to conduct an autopsy, and in the end, he also confirmed that these bones were some young women in their twenties.
"Housekeeper, besides you guys, who else in the Marquis Mansion knows about this matter?" Putting aside his inner sadness, Song Wuya calmed down. He knew that the pretender must be know about it.
Perhaps the reason why he pretended to be a ghost was to warn Lord Hou so that he would not harm these women again.
But in the end he still failed, Hou Ye not only completed his so-called true trouble, but also made Xiaowan pregnant.I don't know if this matter has anything to do with this formation, but at least Lord Hou will believe it.
Originally, Song Wuya thought that these women were not killed by Lord Hou, but his purpose was to let these women conceive his own children.But after these women came here, they died in a short time, which made Song Wuya think that someone deliberately didn't want him to have an heir, and wanted to break his marquis inheritance.
But now it seems that he did all of this by himself, and there is no one who does not want him to leave an heir.
After realizing this, Song Wuya had no choice but to re-examine the case.Yesterday from Zhu Yuanlong's mouth, Song Wuya knew that when Master Hou had no brothers and sisters, the most promising route was completely cut off.
Today, knowing this matter, Song Wuya also has a new guess.
Hou Ye's death may have been an unexpected incident.It wasn't that someone intended to murder him, but because of a certain incident, the murderer was suddenly angered, which made the murderer kill Lord Hou.
You must know that Master Hou was drunk and violent before he died, and it is entirely possible for him to do things that would anger the murderer.
In addition, he died in a corner of the hall at that time, which itself is a strange place.
Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, Song Wuya was still willing to believe that the purpose of the murderer was to cover up the evidence left at the scene, so he made the bedroom and hall look like this.However, there was no trace of blood in the study room, which showed that the murderer had never been to this place at that time, so he was not worried about leaving any traces here.
After quickly sorting out all this in his mind, Song Wuya still felt that some important links were missing in this case, making it impossible for him to outline the whole case in his mind.
The first thousand and 130 chapters are true and false
?Is the first thousand and 130 chapters true or false?
Hu Tutou led the staff to sort out the skeletons and sent them all back to the magistrate's yamen.
But Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were not in a hurry to leave, after all, their affairs today had not officially started yet.
Originally, they planned to look at other places in the Marquis Mansion, but because of the sudden discovery of the skeleton and the appearance of the butler, they didn't have the heart to look at other places.
However, more than an hour has passed before and after, and now the sun has been hanging high, and in another hour, it will be noon.
"Master Hou did all of this. I don't think so. He must have an accomplice?" Bai Zhuo looked at the butler coldly. He didn't believe the butler. After all, Master Hou is dead. How can I say it?
"My lord, this is absolutely true! We ordinary people, how dare we kill people! Only princes and nobles like Lord Hou dare to do this! These women were all poisoned to death by him, we just helped the generals People are just buried in the yard."
The butler hastily explained that he didn't want to have anything to do with the murder at this time.
Originally, Bai Zhuo's words were just to frighten the housekeeper. If they really convict him, they don't have any evidence.
The housekeeper explained to the two with a bitter face, but their expressions did not change at all.
"Okay, housekeeper." Seeing that Bai Zhuo's desired effect had been achieved, Song Wuya acted as a peacemaker: "We didn't say you were a murderer! Master Hou killed someone, and you concealed it and didn't report it. You have already become an accomplice. But right now we won’t hold you accountable. Didn’t you say that the owner of that shoe has not been found yet? Then you can look for it and find out who it is.”
"By the way, where is Xiaowan now?" Bai Zhuo asked coldly when Song Wuya finished speaking.
Bai Zhuo's question made the butler feel a bit frightened, and the moment he said this, the butler was shocked.
"My lord, this villain really doesn't know! Xiaowan seems to have disappeared suddenly, and I don't know where she went. It's been two months, and we have been looking for her!" The housekeeper said with a sad face.
Xiaowan has been missing for two months. During this time, the butler has been looking for someone, but unfortunately he has not been able to find him.
Now that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo came here, there were important clues to find Xiaowan, but Xianza Xiaowan disappeared, so their clues were cut off.
"Then you don't have any clues at all? There are so many people in the Marquis Mansion, could it be that no one has noticed why Xiao Wan disappeared?" Song Wuya frowned and asked strangely. "Such a big living person, how can he say he doesn't see him?"
"My lord, this villain really doesn't know! Xiao Wan really disappeared, I don't know why she disappeared!" The housekeeper seemed to really not know where Xiao Wan was, so he explained the matter At that time, it was very impatient.
Xiaowan's disappearance, the housekeeper seems to really not know.A living person like her just disappeared for no reason?Moreover, there are so many people in the Hou Mansion, but no one knows where she is now.
Such a thing is really a strange thing, there are too many mysteries in Xiaowan, and only by finding Xiaowan can these mysteries in her be solved.
"Forget it! Since you don't know, I won't ask you any more!" Song Wuya frowned helplessly and said, "Then let's talk about other things."
Although there is no way to ask about Xiao Wan, but these other things may give them some clues.
Regarding the matter of the housekeeper and Madam Hou, Song Wuya hadn't asked yet, he was wondering under what circumstances he should ask this matter.
After pondering for a while, Song Wuya asked: "How is the relationship between your Lord Hou and your wife?"
"The relationship between their husband and wife is very good!" Seeing that the housekeeper finally stopped asking him things that he couldn't answer, he immediately relaxed. "Although the two of them have no children, Lord Hou has never blamed his wife."
"Huh?" Song Wuya frowned, this was not the same as what they had heard before, it was really strange.
There were two different answers to the two questions asked one after another.
Regarding the ins and outs, they don't know who is right and who is wrong. Anyway, one of them must be telling lies.
Song Wuya was more convinced of the statements of those servants, after all, there were a lot of them, and they all said the same things.Compared with them, the housekeeper is a bit weak.His words are completely contrary to what the subordinates said before, but it cannot be said that he is false.
"Oh? The relationship between the two of them is very good? Haven't they ever quarreled?" Song Wuya asked curiously.
