Three-pot porridge and naan

Passers-by saw the white lights hanging outside the Luo Mansion, and now they finally believed that the old lady had passed away.

Some people came here on their own initiative, the old lady was also willing to do good when she was in a disaster, and the old lady appointed people on their merits, and many of them were favored by the old lady.

Because too many people came, Luo Mansion began to thank guests in the next few days.

Just say what you want.

The uncle of the Luo family buried the old lady in a magnificent manner, and invited as many as fifty Taoist priests and monks. I heard that the sons of the sheriff all came to offer incense to the old lady.

Talking about the fire in Luo’s house, there are different opinions. Some say that Aunt Wu knocked down the candlestick carelessly, and some say that the old lady got up in the middle of the night and knocked over the candlestick.

It's just that this statement seems to be untenable. People in the government office are still investigating, and everyone is waiting for an explanation.

This day and night, people from the government office came to Luofu again, because the lady had said that if people from the government office came, just let them in.

People in the mansion don't know why the eldest lady insists on thinking that there is something wrong with the old lady's death, so they can only do what the eldest lady said.

This time Master Zhang brought Qiu Butou over again, Qiu Butou went to call Wandong, and Wu You happened to see him.

Wu You inevitably asked, but Qiu Butou only said that Wan Dong was a doctor and asked him to help with the autopsy.

Wu You just asked and didn't become suspicious, and led them to the room where Aunt Wu's body was parked.

"The lady in charge of Zheng has been guarding this place, and no one has come here until now."

"My lord has an order to carry Aunt Wu's body to the government office, please go and report to your wife." Master Zhang wanted to slap himself when he said this. His lord went to Luoyang for business and has not returned yet.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Wu You had no choice but to ask the caretaker to report to his wife.

It didn't take long for the guard to come back: "The eldest lady will do what the government says."

Wan Dong's long eyebrows raised slightly, could it be that the lady is suspicious of something?That's why you plan to rely on the government?

Master Zhang raised his eyes and looked at Butou Qiu: "Then it's my job to Butou Qiu."

Qiu Butou went to call Butou to come and carry away Aunt Wu's body.

Afterwards, Master Zhang and Wandong went to the burned-down main courtyard.

"Master Zhang, the fire here hadn't been extinguished when I rushed over. I saw Aunt Wu's body being carried out. At that time, many people were very nervous, but the servants who first discovered it told me that they all It smells delicious."

"Very fragrant?" Master Zhang looked over suspiciously.

Wandong smiled and nodded: "You can still smell the fragrance in the fire."

Master Zhang didn't understand what Wandong wanted to say, and became even more confused.

Master Zhang: "Based on my experience, I can only confirm that it was not the candlestick that was knocked over. The old lady's bed was severely burned, but the Buddhist altar in the outer room was even more severely burned. The fire started from these two places, but there are servants. It is revealed that the Buddhist altar has not been touched for half a year..."

Wan Dong had just sent Master Zhang out of the mansion, passing by the Second Young Master's courtyard, and saw Luo Qiong running out in a hurry.

"Second Young Master." Luo Qiong was startled by Wan Dong's leisurely call.

"Brother Mei, you scared me to death." Luo Qiong said angrily.

Wandong came over and asked him in a low voice, "Where is Second Young Master going?"

Luo Qiong thought for a while and took his hand and said, "Then come with me."

*

This is a place in Luofu for the stewards of the outer court to live, and there are five or six warehouses to the west.

"Uncle Wu lived in the first room in the East Wing. I thought Uncle Zheng lived here too."

Luo Qiong took out a key, Wandong was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Why do you have the key?"

Luo Qiong only said: "I just found it in the candy box, and I am also very puzzled. After thinking for a long time, I think it should be the key from Uncle Wu's room, and it came out secretly..."

He hid a key in a sugar box and gave it to the Second Young Master of Luo Mansion. What is this uncle Wu thinking about?

When the key really opened the door, Luo Qiong was frightened instead.

"If I hadn't gone crazy and dismantled the last candy box that Uncle Wu gave me, I would never have known that there was a key in it for the rest of my life..."

Seeing someone entering the yard, Wandong immediately pushed open the door and dragged Luo Qiong into the room, then quickly closed the door.

"Although there is a warehouse in our outer courtyard, there are only two stewards who live here. Steward Wu will go out several times a year. Next door to him is Steward Zheng's room. The place where he used to live will be cleaned up for you. "

The person who spoke was the head of the outer courtyard, followed by Ah He.

Ah He has just been promoted to be the head of the house, and he will follow the housekeepers to gain experience in business outside the house. The family said that Ah He has finally survived and can learn to do business with the housekeepers.

Ah He nodded excitedly, not knowing what to say, the head of the outer courtyard led him around and left.

Seeing them leaving, Luo Qiong was about to pick up the lantern that fell on the ground and light it, Wandong said with a smile: "Second Young Master, it's getting late, if people in your yard find you missing, they will be looking for you all over the house right now. Yes, let’s come back another day, and I’ll send you back first.”

Luo Qiong thought about nodding, and subconsciously looked at the dark room, as if he wanted to ask why the smell in this room was so strange, a smell of sesame oil mixed with a smell of rot...

Wandong went out with him, closed the door and locked it.

After sending Luo Qiong back to the mansion, Wandong came back again.

Wandong blew on the torch in his hand, and searched for a while in the two small rooms inside and outside.

Until Wandong exclaimed in a low hoarse voice in the darkness: "Why is this..."

His face turned pale for a moment, and soon he extinguished the fire.

*

Wu Miduo disappeared. I can’t tell exactly where he disappeared. The servants accompanying him said that they had an appointment to meet at Luokou. As a result, he waited in Luokou for several nights. He was afraid of delaying things and went first. Go to Beijing.

It was not until I waited for so long that I didn't see Wu Miduo that I wrote to Luofu.

Of course, the next day, apart from receiving a letter saying that Wu Miduo was missing, Aunt Wu's daughter also went to the Lushui government office to ask the adults in the government office to hand over her mother's body.

The adults of the Lushui government office went to Luoyang to do business, Master Zhang went to see the lady, and the lady cried very sadly.

Master Zhang sighed: "The government will give an explanation for Ling Ci's death, and please wait for a few more days, Madam."

"Didn't my mother be burned to death? What else can I say, huh, huh, I will ask the government to return my mother..." The lady covered her face and wept.

Master Zhang asked suddenly: "I heard that Madam's husband's family is in Nanjun, when did Madam receive the letter from Luo's residence?"

Nanjun is not close to here, this lady's letter is too fast.

"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I received it on the night of the seventh day. As soon as I received it, I set off and made people hurry up. I didn't rest on the road except when the groom was sleeping, just to... woo woo woo, please return my mother's body."

The woman's words are sincere, and the listener is moved.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang said in shock, "Madam, wait a moment. I'll go back as soon as I go."

Master Zhang went to the back anteroom and said to Dong Wan: "Then Wu's daughter said that she received a letter on the night of the seventh day, and that there was a fire in the main courtyard of the Luo Mansion on the fifth or third day of the first day. She was in South County. Doesn't that mean that the fire started before the fire was extinguished?" Someone sent her a letter saying that Mrs. Wu was burned to death?"

Wandong frowned when he heard that, and immediately said, "Go ask her if she still has the letter?"

Master Zhang hurried to ask again.

Fortunately, Wu's daughter is a rigorous person, and she regarded the letter as the last letter from her mother, so she carried it with her.

Master Zhang showed the letter to Wandong.

Wandong: "It's not a post station, it's a private messenger. Even if you use it to check who wrote it, it's like finding a needle in a haystack, but you can try to check first."

Aunt Wu's daughter and Aunt Wu haven't seen each other for five or six years. Apart from crying bitterly when they saw the charred body, they couldn't give any other evidence.

Master Zhang's eyes were a little red when he was listening outside the door, but Wandong still had a calm expression on his face.

Master Zhang has long wanted to scold this boy Bai Chang for being a wolf-hearted man who looks like a dog.

"Master Zhang never thought of a possibility?" Wandong knew that Master Zhang was looking at him, and without turning his face away, he lowered his eyes and smiled.

"What's possible?" Master Zhang wondered.

"For example, is the burnt body Aunt Wu?"

"Huh? Ah?" Master Zhang was confused by Wandong's sentence and couldn't speak a complete sentence. Everyone in the house said it was Aunt Wu, and the first few servants who found it said that Aunt Wu was still crawling outside the door. Why not Aunt Wu?

"Luo Qiong said that Mrs. Wu doesn't like candy, and they are not allowed to eat candy."

Master Zhang felt that this kid was making fun of him: "What does this have to do with eating candy?!"

As Master Zhang said, he opened the door and went into the house.

Naturally, Aunt Wu's daughter failed to take away Aunt Wu's body, and the Lord Yamen of Lushui Mansion, who went to Luoyang for business, could not come back.

This Master Wen and Mo Li are colleagues, and he said that 29 looks very young.

Although this Mr. Wen is not as famous as Mo Li, he still has some reputation, but this reputation may not be what Mr. Wen wants.

Mr. Wen took over his elder brother's position and continued to be the supervisory censor. His elder brother's name was known to many people ten years ago.

All this is because of an unsolved case, known as the Gu's Murder Case.

This was a massacre. More than 40 members of the Gu family, as well as cats, dogs, rabbits, cattle and sheep in the mansion were all killed overnight.

Two of the four suspects committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in anger, one disappeared for ten years without hearing from him, and the other was chopped to death by his master.

If it is said that there is a murderer among these four people, then this case should be closed, but the case is about evidence, and it eventually turned into an unsolved case.

It was rumored that Mr. Wen's elder brother was exiled because of this. At the beginning, he knew a lot about this case, but after all, ten years had passed.

After Master Wen took over from his elder brother's class, he also investigated the Gu family's case for many years, but he did not expect to be transferred to Yingbei at this moment.

"The enemy's road is narrow." Wandong only wanted to sigh when he saw Wen Yu.

But Wen Yu just raised his eyelids and stared at him, and then looked away after making sure that he did not recognize the wrong person.

Back then in Meiyi, when Wandong was seven or eight years old, he practiced calligraphy with Wenyu. Because Wenyu liked to solve cases with his elder brother, he often took Wandong with him. Wenyu should be both a teacher and a friend to Wandong.

But because of the Gu family's case, the two fell out immediately.

In Meiyi and the Mei family, the only ones who have intersected with each other from generation to generation are the Gu family, Mei Wandong's childhood sweetheart, and the only one who played from wearing open crotch pants to the age of eight or nine is the young master of the Gu family.

But when he returned to Shangjing, what he waited for was the news that the Gu family had been wiped out.

His childhood sweetheart, the young master, stayed at the age of eight forever.

It is said that the Wen family offended Wandong because of their inaction on the Gu family's case, because the Wen family knew that the case was not easy, so Wen Yu's brother would rather lose his job than dare to continue the investigation, so he just stopped investigating.

At that time, some evidence could have been collected, but because of his brother's inaction, the first evidence collection was lost.

Afterwards, Gu's mansion was burnt down again, resulting in an unsolved case.

After Wen Yu took over the case of the Luo Mansion, he planned to be promoted the next day and set up in the Lushui Mansion Yamen.

Wandong didn't even know whether this person had gone through the case or not, so he was directly promoted.

Master Zhang really asked this in front of Master Wen: "My lord... are you sure?"

But the censor censor unexpectedly said, "Isn't there Mei Wandong?"

"Ah? Huh? Ah?" Master Zhang was dumbfounded again for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence, his mind went blank.

Wandong who was standing outside the door ruthlessly broke the branch in his hand.

Master Zhang instinctively felt that Mr. Wen and Dr. Mei recognized each other, and their friendship was unusual. He was very accurate in judging people and could not be wrong.

Coming out of the house, Wen Yu threw a sign to Wan Dong, and left without saying anything.

Fortunately, Wan Dong quickly caught the sign, took a look at it, and thought it was some kind of treasure, but it was a sign that could mobilize the policemen and officers and soldiers of various government offices in the north of the camp.

Wandong also wanted to know whether Wenyu understood the case clearly after reading what Master Zhang wrote.

*

On May [-]th, the Lvshui official office in the east of the city was promoted to the hall. Because it was rumored in the surrounding teahouses the day before that the case of the Luo family was that the supervisory censor from the north of the camp came to try the case, so many people came here.

Before dawn, people who lived nearby came over.

Wandong just got up and finished washing, changed his clothes, locked the courtyard door and walked out of Pomegranate Alley, only to see Uncle Xiang and Brother Zhuang in Ping'an Alley getting up.

They were rushing to the government office to watch Mr. Wen try the case.

Wandong flinched suddenly, after thinking about it, he went back and took a piece of sackcloth to cover his face.

Anyway, the gangsters in this city would cover their faces half-covered to investigate the case. Firstly, the smell of the corpse was bad, and secondly, the gangsters in the government office didn't want people to remember themselves.

When Wandong was leaving, it happened that Qiu Butou brought a group of people over: "Dr. Mei, according to what you said, I have gone to arrest Luofu's uncle, wife, second master, fourth lady, several housekeepers, and several others involved in this case." servants are invited.

It was the first time that there were so many people waiting for trial standing in the side hall of the yamen.

Seeing the mighty voice shouting from the high hall, the onlookers thought some prisoner would be brought up, only to hear Sir Shi Wen, the supervisor in the high hall, shout: "Please come in, Master and Zuo."

This sound made Qiu Butou choke, presumably Master Wen didn't know what happened in the case at all, so he called Master and Wandong to come in.

Wandong already knew that since Wenyu had set a time to be promoted, he had a way to deal with it. He just didn't expect Wenyu to be so shameless and just be the shopkeeper.

Master Zhang gave a general account of the case, and everyone nearby had heard the rumors, and the case was also consistent with the rumors.

It's just that the master said that two corpses were found in the stolen box from the Luo Mansion, which was not revealed by the rumors.

"Lift up the corpse first," Master Wen said.

Qiu Butou lifted the corpse up and said, "It's two corpses, but they've been pieced together into one. According to the inspection, it should be a man and a woman. The height of the men should not be less than seven feet five... Most of them are men. corpse."

"But what does this have to do with Luo's case?" asked the onlooker in confusion.

Qiu Butou immediately looked at Wandong, and Master Zhang also looked at Wandong.

Master Wen also pursed his lips and looked at Wandong.

Wan Dong was silent for a moment before arriving: "These two are both from the Luo family."

As soon as Wandong said this, the two butlers Zheng Qu of the Luo Mansion immediately said, "What evidence do you have to prove that this is a member of the Luo Mansion?"

"Could it be possible that Wu Zuo's autopsy can find out that this is a person from Luofu?"

Wandong looked at the two people who were talking, and soon he said to Qiu Butou, "Go and lift up that charred female corpse."

Qiu Butou immediately understood that what Wandong was talking about was Aunt Wu's body.

After Aunt Wu's body was brought up, Wandong walked over and lifted the white cloth, and many people looked away.

Wandong looked at the butler of Luo Mansion: "Butler Zheng and Butler Qu, do you know who this person is?"

"Of course this person is Aunt Wu!" Steward Qu replied.

"Isn't this the body of Aunt Wu who was brought from the master's mansion?" Steward Zheng looked at Wandong puzzled.

Wandong pursed her lips and shook her head.

Steward Zheng was surprised: "Isn't it Aunt Wu?"

Wandong asked the servants who were the first to discover the fire in the main courtyard of Luo Mansion that day: "Are you sure that it must be Aunt Wu who crawled out of the sea of ​​fire that day?"

"This..." Stared at by Wandong's beautiful eyes, those people couldn't answer immediately.

Wandong: "Or is it just because you know that Mrs. Wu is serving the old lady, so you can conclude that it is Mrs. Wu when you see that figure?"

Those servants immediately said: "It's a little uncertain about the small one... I only remember the shadow, and I can't be sure it's Aunt Wu."

Steward Qu: "Except for the old lady and Aunt Wu, there are no other people missing or injured in the mansion. Why isn't it Aunt Wu?"

"We're going to ask about the corpse." The young and slow voice came.

Butler Qu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Wandong smiled and squatted down in front of the corpse: "The dead can take away all the secrets in this world, but the corpse can also reveal all the secrets. The person who was burned to death in the fire in the main courtyard of the Luo Mansion on the fifth day of May was not Aunt Wu."

"Who is it if it's not Aunt Wu? No one is missing or injured in the mansion, so there are ghosts!" Steward Qu asked loudly.

Steward Qu's words shocked many people.

Wandong: "Madam Wu doesn't like sweets, is there any such thing?"

Da Furen suddenly took a step forward and replied: "Aunt Wu really doesn't like sweets, so her teeth are neat and white, and she has persuaded Qiong'er not to eat sweets several times."

Wan Dong narrowed his eyes: "That's right, so the corpse is not Aunt Wu."

Although the body was scorched black, it was intact, because it fled to the door during the fire, and if it hadn't been hit by the falling beam, she might have escaped from the flames.

While Wandong was speaking, the iron pick in his hand peeled off the head of the corpse.

Two gold teeth.

"The corpse has two gold teeth. Qiu Butou asked the doctor who has been treating Aunt Wu for a long time. He was sure that Aunt Wu did not have gold teeth inlaid, so the corpse is not Aunt Wu."

Da Furen: "Who is it if it's not Aunt Wu? Since there are inlaid gold teeth, it can't be an ordinary servant."

"The lady is right, this person is no ordinary servant."

Wandong looked at Luo Siniang again: "Si Niang, do you know who this person is?"

Miss Luo Si's face changed obviously, she was very angry: "How do I know who this person is!"

Wandong smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Fourth Lady, did Fourth Lady chase away a sister ten years ago?"

Luo Siniang once married Jin Lan to the maid she grew up with, and asked her mother, Mrs. Wu, to adopt that girl as a foster daughter, but Mrs. Wu neither agreed nor objected.

From then on, the Luo family regarded the maidservant as half a young lady.

The maid's name was Wu Fangzhi, and she was also selected by Mrs. Wu from the maidservants raised by the clan to grow up with Luo Siniang. The two of them read and wrote together and became female celebrities. They were closer than real sisters.

The friendship Luo Siniang wanted was the mutual achievement of her mother and Aunt Wu, but this friendship did not come to her.

Twelve years ago, Luo Siniang had a relationship and engagement with the eldest son of the Zhou family in the east of the city.

It's just that there was an oolong in the engagement banquet, the eldest son was caught lying on the bed in the guest room with Wu Fangzhi, the eldest son's clothes were disheveled, Wu Fangzhi was only wearing a small coat.

So the eldest son became a street mouse and lost his marriage with Miss Luo Si.

Until the Fourth Miss Luo became Luo Siniang, whenever someone would jokingly ask Mr. Zhou about the past, Mr. Zhou would never mention a word.

It was two years after this incident that Luo Siniang broke with Wu Fangzhi, and Wu Fangzhi left Luo Mansion.

Luo Siniang's cold and stern voice came: "Wu Fangzhi was indeed my maid ten years ago. You said she was her, so why did she appear in our Luofu? Since you judged that this person is Wu Fangzhi, then Just know how she entered the mansion?"

Others always heard that the people in the Luo family were mediocre in appearance, but when they saw this Luo Siniang today, they felt that she was the best born in the Luo family. At first glance, they didn't feel amazing at all, but they were quite attractive.

"Because there are so many people." Wandong slowly threw out the answer. Although he didn't look at them, the expressions on their faces never escaped his peripheral vision.

Hearing this name, the eldest lady looked at the uncle and asked something in a low voice.

Wandong slowly took out a title deed from his bosom: "This title deed was found in Wu Mi Duo's room, and it was written with Wu Fangzhi's name on it. The date on the title deed was ten years ago, so it can be deduced that it should be four years ago." The lady gave it to Wu Fangzhi when she asked Wu Fangzhi to leave the mansion. Wu Fangzhi sent the land deed to Wu Miduo, presumably also revealing his intention to marry Wu Miduo, but it's a pity... People are not Wu Fangzhi."

"Wu Fangzhi felt deeply deceived and wanted to harm Wu Miduo, but he didn't want that Wu Miduo had already packed the land deed in an envelope and was about to return it to her, and Wu Fangzhi had already sneaked into the mansion."

Master Wen asked: "Since Wu Fangzhi can enter the mansion, there must be someone to meet him, so who is this person?"

Wandong: "It's the murderer who killed these three people."

As soon as this word came out, the audience started to discuss it, and it seemed that the more they listened, the more confused they became.

Wan Dong: "Because there are many people involved in this case, please listen to me carefully."

"Wu Fangzhi was raised by her uncle. She was sent to the Luo Mansion at the age of five. Her uncle took the money from the Luo Mansion to go to Nanjun to do business and met many people. One of them was the accountant of a restaurant. This person Tall and mighty, he really doesn't look like an accountant, but he is very good at arithmetic, thoughtful and courageous, Wu Fangzhi's uncle called this man brother and brother, and later introduced this man to Luofu."

"It's Steward Qu...??" the eldest lady exclaimed and covered her mouth.

Steward Qu looked over with a cold look: "What do you mean by framing me!! These are three lives?! I have no grievances with them, why should I kill them?"

"I'm going to ask you Steward Qu, why did you kill Wu Miduo, why did you kill Mrs. Wu? And why did you have to burn Wu Fangzhi and Mrs. Wu to death."

"It's four lives..." the bystanders suddenly shouted.

Butler Qu: "You spout blood! I don't even know who the two people who were dismembered are!"

Qiu Butou: "Just now, Wu Zuo has said that the people who were cut up by you are Wu Miduo and Aunt Wu."

Steward Qu: "How do I know who they are! Why do I want to kill them if I have no grievances with them!"

Steward Zheng: "No, Wu Miduo competed with you for the position of steward before. You have a conflict of interest. As for Aunt Wu..."

"Because he has an affair with Aunt Wu." Wan Dong said lightly.

"You fart! You spit blood!"

Wandong curled his lips into a smile: "Why don't we go and check the rockery in the backyard of Master Luo right now, and see how many pearls you gave Aunt Wu are hidden in it and haven't been taken yet?"

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot an old incident. You were responsible for Li Niang's head being beaten to pieces. Butler Qu. When Li Niang saw you and Aunt Wu behind the rockery, you couldn't scare her and beat her to death. I thought I could make the illusion that she fell from the rockery and fell to her death, but fortunately, Li Niang survived, but she was unable to see, forget things, and suffered from dumb disease, so she survived."

"But do you really think she can't speak and doesn't remember things?"

"Li Niang, my Li Niang..." Da Furen wailed, "Butler Qu, I, Luo Manor, have treated you well, why did you do such a heartless thing!"

Steward Qu yelled: "I am wronged, Mrs. He is full of nonsense and can't produce any evidence. It's all because of his malicious speculations to sow dissension! Miss is so pitiful, how can I have the heart to harm her!"

Wandong: "It seems that Steward Qu will not die until the Yellow River, so let's talk about how you killed Wu Miduo and Aunt Wu, and the remaining body parts in Wu Miduo's room."

Speaking of this, Qiu Qiu quickly shuddered, and thought of the scene of seeing the bloody corpse in Wu Miduo's room before coming to the government office.

"It can be seen that you killed these two people in Wu Miduo's room, so why Aunt Wu went to Wu Miduo's room should be the key to your determination to kill Wu Miduo."

"But after you killed someone, you realized that you had been tricked, but you couldn't believe that Wu Fangzhi really murdered you. After all, Wu Fangzhi's uncle entrusted his only adoptive daughter to your care before he died. You have always You don’t want Wu Fangzhi’s life, so you give her a way to survive and ask her to take care of the old lady who has passed away and has not yet mourned.”

"What do you mean? It means that the old lady didn't die in the fire, but died before the fire?"

"It's just a cover to invite any immortals in Naluo's mansion. The old lady has already left?"

Wandong continued: "The old lady has been waiting for Mr. Luo to return to the mansion, so she invited the immortal to enter the mansion. The matter of inviting the immortal to the mansion was arranged by you and Wu Miduo, because both of you are the housekeepers chosen by the old lady. , I will take care of his funeral in the future. Although you two have conflicting interests, you have reached an agreement on concealing the news of the old lady's death. It's just that you killed Wu Miduo and Wu Miduo because you thought Wu Miduo had an affair with Aunt Wu. Auntie, I didn't expect to fall into Wu Fangzhi's trick of divorce."

"Wu Miduo was determined to run away, and was even afraid that you would harm him on the way, so he made an appointment with his followers to meet you at Luokou to lure you to Luokou, but before he was about to leave Yingbei, you saw through and killed him."

There was a stove in Umituo’s room. Steward Qu burned the corpses and packed them into a box, but found that only one box could be filled, so he soaked the remaining corpses in the Laiwu flower sesame oil in Wumiduo’s room. in the barrel.

Steward Qu's face was ashen at this moment: "After all that, you still have no evidence."

"The evidence you want is this?" Wandong took out a letter from his arms, "Informed Baili Feihu that there was a dart in Luoshanglou that Baijin was going to take away at the beginning of April?"

The bystanders said in amazement: "How does Butler Qu recognize such a gangster as Baili Feihu!"

Wandong replied with a smile: "Because Steward Qu worked as a bookkeeper in Nanjun, Steward Qu is also a member of the Jianghu."

The letter was sent by Ge Qi from Qianye Building. Wandong didn't care how Ge Qi got it, but it was written by Steward Qu himself.

"You asked Baili Feihu to steal the body, and the original intention was to transfer this disaster to the Luo family, and let the Luo family offend Baili Feihu before settling the government. You think it's just two lives, and the master of the Luo family will choose who to choose. Spend some money to settle things down, but the eldest lady is different from what you think."

"Baili Flying Fox stole a box full of body parts for the first time and left a bloody coat. It can only be said that this fox has a really bad sense of smell. He flew for a long time with a box full of charred body parts and didn't realize that he was carrying a disaster. .”

"You have waited for many days and still haven't heard from Baili Flying Fox, which makes you feel that he has suffered a lot and disposed of the box."

"Half a month later, Baili Flying Fox came for the second time and stole one hundred gold, and put the box containing the burnt body parts in the field outside the city."

Steward Qu didn't worry at all until the corpse box was found. He arranged it carefully, and even if Umido disappeared, it was impossible for him to be suspected.

And the only thing he has to worry about is Wu Fangzhi's variable.

That's why there was a plan to burn the main courtyard.

Steward Qu: "You may have fabricated this letter, and I have nothing to do with the fire in the main courtyard! I was drunk that night, and when I woke up, the fire had already been extinguished! If you don't believe me, ask Ah He who served me that night! "

Master Wen patted the gavel: "Tell Ah He."

After all, Ah He has been with Steward Qu for the longest time. At this time, he knelt up and said to Mr. Wen in the hall: "That night, Caomin washed Steward Qu and went to sleep. Caomin slept in the outer room, butler Qu slept in the inner room. Butler Qu was still vomiting, and at five o'clock he found a fire, and the grass-roots went to call for Steward Qu, but Steward Qu was still asleep, so the grass-folk went to look for Steward Zheng."

Wandong looked at Master Wen: "My lord, please invite Luo Mansion's outer court to be the master again."

Master Wen: "Pass!"

The head of the outer courtyard said: "The next day after Duanyang, a large piece of Laiwu flower oil leaked from the warehouse of the outer courtyard, and it was only discovered the next day."

Wandong looked at Master Zhang again: "Master, do you still remember the smell of sesame oil when we inspected the ruins of the main courtyard, although the fire extinguished but did not dissipate, that is the smell of Laiwu flower oil, the price of which is comparable to the price of cloth , because it burns very fast and burns vigorously and has a fragrance, so it is loved by big households."

Master Wen looked at the principal again: "Who has the key to the warehouse in your outer courtyard?"

The master replied: "I have the key to the warehouse in April, and I handed it over to Steward Qu at the beginning of May."

After the master finished speaking, there was a burst of sighs outside the hall.

Master Wen patted the gavel again: "Butler Qu, you set fire to the main courtyard with Laiwu flower oil, and took several lives. What do you have to say now!"

Butler Naqu knelt on the ground and did not speak for a long time, but Qiu Butou thought that this man was thinking about how to quibble next.

But the man suddenly looked up at Wandong and said, "What this gentleman said is generally correct, but there is one thing wrong."

Wandong frowned suspiciously.

Steward Qu smiled wryly: "Actually, I, Wu Miduo, Wu Fangzhi, who killed who first, and who killed who can't tell. My only fault is that I shouldn't let Wu Fangzhi change his name before entering Luofu."

Qiu Butou yelled: "You lost your mind and went crazy, didn't you make a mistake and shouldn't kill people?"

"Hahahahahaha." The man suddenly laughed wildly, making the listeners feel a bit chilly, "I said that the three of us can't tell which one will kill the other first, this gentleman said that Wu Fangzhi asked the aunt to go to Wumiduo at night There is an inference in the room, and another inference is that my niece deliberately disclosed to Wu Miduo that I was going to kill him. Wu Miduo went to the aunt at night to lure me to kill me, but I killed him instead. As for Wu Miduo, who made the false impression that he had left the mansion, and told his followers to meet at Luokou, it is also possible to wait for me in the room to kill me. After I go in, he is preparing an axe, but Instead, he was chopped off by me."

After the man finished speaking, he continued to laugh wildly until Butler Qu was taken into prison by the police officers. Chief Qiu didn't even understand what happened.

Right now, there are even more opinions among the onlookers. Who wants to harm whom? Is it what the lord in the court said, or what the murderer said?

"Doctor Mei, did he say it or did you say it?" Qiu Qiu scratched his head and followed Mei Wandong, "Why does this case look like it hasn't been solved... It's weird."

Wan Dong rolled his eyes at him: "..."

Qiu Butou caught up with him: "Doctor Mei, just remind me."

Wan Dong stopped walking: "Then let me ask you, how does Steward Qu's last sentence explain that Aunt Wu was also chopped off by him."

Qiu Butou was taken aback for a moment: "That's right, how do you explain that Aunt Wu was hacked to death by him... This housekeeper is really a lunatic, he is so cruel, it looks like a beast..."

The case of the Luo Mansion was solved, and the Luo Mansion returned to its former peace.

Luo Siniang, who hadn't been out for about five or six years, went out this time because of this case.

After solving the case, she came out of the government office and looked at the crowded passage outside. She suddenly felt a little dizzy, and a somewhat familiar figure hurried past.

She suddenly remembered that person.

"Miss Si, are you going back?"

"You go back first, I'll go shopping." She said lightly.

Luo Siniang put on her drapery hat and passed by a rouge shop, went in and picked up a box, she knew which shop it was, she pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Is the eldest son of your master's surname Zhou?"

"Huh? What?" The man was stunned for a moment, and Fang realized what the girl was asking, "Yes, the surname is Zhou."

32 Three years old, never married, even if the old lady cried countless times, a concubine's room was not carried in the door.

It turned out that she was not the only one who wasted her years in this world.
