Three-pot porridge and naan

The next day, July 26, a funeral was held in Santaoyuan. In the early morning, five priests and five monks entered Santaoyuan, and then ten Wuyue people entered, and the mourning and mourning continued until noon.

Others said that the funeral in Taoyuan was extraordinarily grand, and the children from the nearby villages went to kowtow and cry, and they all gave rewards, one penny for kisses, and ten or twenty cents for careless ones.

"It's all started by Mr. Kang. I heard that I just came back yesterday. He took care of everything. He fell ill at night. He invited the doctor to come and see him. The Taoist priests and monks entered the garden without sleeping..."

"It's hard for Mr. Kang, the eldest brother was killed, and the brother-in-law who loved him the most was also swept away by the flood. I heard that the bones have not been found yet..."

"The provincial exam will be held in October. This is how Mr. Kang will take the exam."

"..."

Wan Dong went out of the stall today, and closed the stall after selling out the three pots of porridge and naan.

"Wandong closes the stall very early today." Old Wan next door said with a smile.

Wandong smeared the ointment on her hands, and replied, "Auntie Yao's maid from Santaoyuan just came over and asked me to get some medicine for Auntie Yao."

"They said that Aunt Yao is pregnant with Boss Kang's posthumous child. Is this true?"

"It's been two months."

Lao Wan's wife: "That's true, how will Aunt Yao's orphans and widows live when Boss Kang is gone?"

Lao Wan laughed loudly: "This matter still makes you worry. Mr. Kang is a scholar and he will never ignore his elder brother's posthumous child. Boss Kang left so much money, isn't it more than enough to support their orphans and widows?"

At this time, a man in purple suddenly stood in front of Wandong.

Wandong still lowered his head: "The congee and naan are all sold out, come tomorrow."

"That's really a pity... We agreed to come and eat the snacks made by Xiao Wandong."

Hearing this voice, the hairs on Wandong's back stood on end, and the moment he raised his eyelids, the light in his eyes was extremely sharp.

Seeing that Wandong's gaze was not friendly, Zou Wu'an spread out his folding fan and fanned it, and said quickly, "Little Wandong, don't expose me, I'm all in low service, and no one around here recognizes me, just call me Ah Wu."

It is true that no one in this neighborhood recognizes Zou Wu'an, moreover, Zou Wu'an was not born and raised in Shangjing, and he was not in Shangjing when he became famous when he was young. He is from the Zou family in Yingbei, and it is said that he is a relative of the emperor.

This "A Wu" Wandong really couldn't yell out, so he called out dryly: "Brother Zou."

"Xiao Wandong, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"I don't have any porridge or naan, but there is still some mutton left. Do you eat mutton?"

"Okay, I like everything Wandong does..."

Before he finished speaking, Wandong handed over a bowl.

Zou Wu'an was probably really hungry, so he took Wandong's bowl and started eating on the street.

This is the first time for a child from a family like Zou Wu'an to eat on the street. He behaved casually, but the elegance he showed while eating did not change. It was just that at the end of the meal, his eyes inevitably lit up. The mutton cooked by Wandong is really good. eat……

It was a bit that Wandong left for himself, and he planned to heat it up when he came back at night, but now Zou Wu'an gave him every bite left.

"Although there are many people outside Santao Garden, there are not many people in the garden. Brother Zou, you don't mean to follow me, do you?" Wandong walked to the gate of the market and looked back at Zou Wu'an.

Zou Wu'an pointed not far away.

Wandong looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Mei Xiaobai waving at him.

"I know you don't want to see Xiaobai, so I didn't let him go with me. I came here just to see you."

I just came here to meet you...

Zou Wu'an's words were so sensational.

Wandong couldn't take it anymore, pursed her lips, gave him a hand, and left quickly.

Zou Wu'an said something later, but he didn't hear clearly.

A few unknown police officers came to Santaoyuan, probably because the case had been dragged on for several days, and new police officers were involved.

They still don't understand why Master Mo agreed so quickly to allow the Kang family to bury the deceased. There is still no clue about the case.

Death is the most important thing. If the Kang family wants to bury Kang Boning, even if the government does not allow it, they will still have to bury him after a few days of making trouble. At that time, the Dongcheng government will inevitably criticize this village, so Mo Li's agreement is also a trade-off. .

Mo Li had experience in solving the case before, so he didn't say anything and allowed the Kang family to bury the deceased.If it doesn't work, it is still feasible to open the coffin for an autopsy.

Detective Ye quickly held his knife and said with a blank expression: "Master Mo is convenient with them today because they are exercising their rights as relatives of the deceased. If the case changes tomorrow and the coffin needs to be opened for autopsy, it is our government's right to investigate the case." , people with reasonable reason will naturally know it.”

Mr. Kang held Boss Kang's spirit card, and the servants in Santaoyuan delivered Boss Kang's coffin.

Because more than half of the people in the mourning hall had already left, but at this time there were women's quarrels.

Because of the woman's quarrel, the men standing in front of the hall didn't go up to dissuade them. When the quarrel almost reached the point where they wanted to fight, someone stepped forward to dissuade them.

When Wandong and Moli came, outside Santaoyuan, several women and aunts nearby had been discussing for a long time.

"The second lady said that the child in Aunt Yao's belly is not Boss Kang's, so she told Aunt Yao to get out."

"Then whose child is in Aunt Yao's womb?"

"Boss Kang's."

"Second Lady, if you don't talk much, you probably won't lie."

"Who did the second lady say that Aunt Yao's child belongs to?"

"She said she was a servant, but she couldn't tell what that person's name was."

"In the end, the second lady's maid even said that the child in Aunt Yao's womb belonged to Chef Wang. Chef Wang was so angry that he quit."

"If Chef Wang quits, who will host today's banquet?"

"That's right, Wang Zi went after Cook Wang, let's see if he can get back."

So after listening to it for a long time, I don't know whether what Mrs. Kang Er said is true or not.

"Aunt Yao threw herself into a well! Aunt Yao threw herself into a well!"

"Ah—this." Several women exclaimed.

Suddenly someone shouted, and Wandong and Moli ran quickly to Santaoyuan.

Aunt Yao had been quickly rescued by Police Officer Ye who rushed there first, and now she was sitting by the well, crying heartbreakingly.

"Boss Ye, you want to make the decision for my master. The second miss is trying to force my master to death on purpose." Aunt Yao's maid hugged Aunt Yao and tremblingly said to Captain Ye that she didn't have the courage in the main hall just now. It's like watching Aunt Yao die once, and then she suddenly feels fearless.

"Let the doctor come over and take Aunt Yao's pulse." Mo Li ordered.

Wandong walked over, felt Aunt Yao's pulse, and said after a long time, "Fortunately, the fetus in Aunt Yao's womb is fine..."

Mo Li looked at Erniang Kang who was supported by a maid not far away: "Erniang Kang, do you want to kill two people in front of my eyes?"

Everyone couldn't hear his tone, but they were shocked by the aura around him.

Mrs. Kang's whole body was shocked at first, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand holding the handkerchief, then quickly lowered her hand and said, "The fetus in her womb is not my elder brother's."

"Is Erniang Kang's statement backed up?"

"some."

Just now it was the servant girl of Second Lady Kang who was talking about it, and everyone was half-believing, but now what Second Lady Kang said was so categorical, everyone wanted to know the result even more.

Kang Yule said word by word: "When Yao Shi stepped into Santaoyuan, she was talking about marriage with someone. Later, the person who almost married her also went to Santaoyuan to do a long-term job. It should be more than a year ago. Eldest brother was dismissed, and after that, Yao had a miscarriage, and Yao had selfishness and confused the Kang family's heirs. My elder brother remembered that their husband and wife did not care about each other, so they would not drive Yao out. I don't remember much, then I can't say the name of the person, but it should be Hu."

It can be seen that Kang Yule has studied, her speech is not like ordinary women's hesitating and stumbling, her speech is clear, and her natural beauty, so she stands out like this, and her words convince the listener.

But, is that really the case?

Wandong always felt that something was wrong.

Aunt Yao's maid shouted: "Second miss, people are watching, the sky is watching, when has my master ever had an affair with a servant in the mansion! That child belongs to the master! Why is that child gone? It’s not like I don’t know at all! It’s a few long-term workers who bumped into my master, and last year the master was furious, so he dismissed the three long-term workers.”

"The uncle himself told my young lady that the blood of the Kang family should not be confused!" Kang Yule's maid shouted, "The uncle suspected that your master was having an affair with someone, so he arranged for someone to abort your master!"

"This..." Everyone was speechless in surprise.

This is too...

Wandong looked at Mo Li, and knew his intentions just by looking at Mo Li.

Mo Li's tone was serious: "Boss Kang is dead, do you want to testify that Mrs. Yao has an affair with others, or are you saying that Boss Kang is vicious? I'm here, and everything you say will be included in the case. "

"But our uncle..."

"Pa" interrupted the servant girl's words, the maid covered her face and looked at Kang Yule in horror, "Miss..."

"That's enough." Kang Yule trembled all over, she turned and left, "I feel a little unwell, my lords, please go ahead."

After Mo Li glanced at him, Captain Ye came over with a knife in hand, and Mo Li said in his ear, "Go and find out if any of the long-term workers who were dismissed by Kang Boning a year ago have the surname Hu."

In the yamen of the east city of Shangjing.

The person Mo Li sent to check on Kang's second lady yesterday has returned.

As soon as Mo Li finished listening to the man's report, Detective Ye came back quickly, followed by Wan Dong who had just arrived at the Yamen.

"You guys together?" Mo Li was slightly surprised.

Detective Ye looked at Wandong suspiciously, and Wandong pursed his lips: "No, I went to the gate of the yamen to see that Detective Ye just came back."

Detective Ye smiled awkwardly: "That's it."

"Tell me, what have you found out?" Wandong sat down and looked at Captain Ye.

Detective Ye hurriedly said: "There is indeed a man surnamed Hu who has worked in Santaoyuan for many years and was expelled a year ago. It is true that he was expelled because of Aunt Yao. That man's name is Hu Lai. The boss keeps horses."

"Oh, so it's a horse breeder..." Wan Dong's eyes suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Mo Li frowned and looked at Wandong.

Wandong shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, Detective Ye will continue."
