Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 3 The case of the iron pestle 2 Yingchuan ink carp is only 3 feet long, scattered peaches an

Yu Mu and Wan Dong naturally recognized each other.

So when Yu Mu saw Wandong standing there, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say hello, and went straight to the coffin in front of the hall, and went to burn incense.

Wandong intuited that Yu Mu shouldn't have made a special trip to mourn, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately gone to offer incense.

The Yu family must know about the Kang family's iron rod, but the Yu family has the rules of the Yu family. The reason why the Yu family has flourished these years is not only because of King Yannan, but also their set of rules.

The Yu family helps the nobleman with affairs, keeps secrets for the nobleman, and does not reveal a single cent.

Even if the Kang family had a homicide case, it was impossible for the government to pry something out of the Yu family.

"Are you Mr. Kang's servant? What's your name?" Wandong looked at the boy who had just entered and was standing not far away.

"My name is Zhunan."

Wandong continued: "I heard that the boy who found Boss Kang dead in the garden yesterday was terrified. Do you know about this?"

"You're talking about Qingqing. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak anymore. When the adults from the government came, they couldn't ask anything. Last night, he had to ask his father to come and take him back first."

The first person who found out that Kang Boning was dead was Qingqing, a servant who was helping the chef in the kitchen. The chef had finished the dinner and he went to inform the master.It turns out that Kang Boning was crushed to death in the peach grove of Santaoyuan.

Kang Boning's entire face was blurred, and a puddle of blood and white pulp frightened 12-year-old Qingqing into crying.

Wang Zhi, who was still at the opposite door, heard the shout and came over, and later he reported to the official, and the official came over within half an hour.

"Did Aunt Yao just come back yesterday?"

When Wandong said this, Zhunan also became excited: "Exactly, brother Wang Zhi from the opposite door said it all. It just happened to coincide with the rest day in the garden. In addition, Brother Wangzi sent Aunt Yao back to her mother's house. There was no one in the garden. Cook Wang He Qingqing was busy behind the scene, and the murderer sneaked in and killed the uncle..."

"Your master is not at home?"

"The third master returned to his hometown Baoshahe the morning before yesterday, and he will return to Beijing in October to participate in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites. The second son-in-law wants to go back to Baoshahe to settle the payment for a batch of goods, so he took the third master back by the way, but the second son-in-law was the night before yesterday. I went to drink with a few noble people, and I asked the third master to help me into the car the morning before yesterday when I was drunk... The second son-in-law also promised to bring me grilled sausages. Uncle died, I guess I was so sad."

Zhu Nan was young, so he had no defense against Wan Dong, and saw that Wan Dong was good-looking, so Wan Dong asked him what he would answer.

At this time, Yu Mu came out from the front of the hall, but he didn't come into the garden, nor did he look at Wandong, and left quickly.

As soon as Yu Mu left, a tall man in a dark gray round-neck gown, with a jet-black cape, profound and handsome features, and a tall man walked in from the outside.He looks really upright, even this straight body is also very upright, and this unsmiling face is much more upright than that fellow Zou Wu'an.

Wandong thought, could this person be Master Mo that Zou Wu'an mentioned?

Sure enough, at this time, the few arresters who were standing in the forest over there saw this man approaching, and immediately went forward to salute: "Lord Mo."

Moli, the censor of the Procuratorate, is only ranked eighth, but has wide authority.He is not very old, he should be about the same as Zou Wu'an, but his demeanor is calm and outstanding.

Wandong was looking at Moli, and Moli was also looking at Wandong from the corner of his eyes.

"you are?"

"I'm here to pay tribute to Boss Kang. I once treated Aunt Yao."

Mo Li didn't ask any more questions, but walked towards the main courtyard of the Kang family. Wandong guessed that he should have gone to ask Aunt Yao for a question.

The third master Kang and the second son-in-law are not here, and Erniang Kang is a door-to-door. The most suspect in the entire Santaoyuan may be Aunt Yao and the chef of the back kitchen.

But Aunt Yao?Can the petite Aunt Yao really smash the tall and burly Kang Boning to death?

Kang Boning joined the army in his early years and stayed in the army for three or four years.Wandong could only say that it would take some skill to smash a strong man like Kang Boning to death.

"Doctor Mei, Aunt Yao just woke up right now, go and check her pulse." Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Wang Zi trotted over and said.

Wandong: "I happen to be fine, so I might as well go and see Aunt Yao."

Wandong followed Wangzi, and as soon as he approached the west wing of the main courtyard of Santao Garden, he heard a woman's cry: "Didn't he make a fuss the day before yesterday to bring in the bustard of Huachunlou? How could he be willing to die? Who can do anything to him around here... woo woo."

It turns out that Aunt Yao wanted to go back to her natal home yesterday because Boss Kang said yesterday that she would bring the bustard in as a concubine...

Mo Li stood outside the threshold of the west chamber with his hands behind his back, probably feeling that he couldn't continue asking this question, so he didn't plan to go in.

Two police officers followed and stood outside, looking sad.

Wangzi was clever, and now he called out: "Aunt Yao, Dr. Mei is here to diagnose your pulse."

"Doctor Mei?" Aunt Yao thought for a while before calling out, "Is it Xiao Wandong? Let him in, woo woo my natal family is here."

Aunt Yao’s family is in Yaojia Village behind Xuejiazhuang on the outskirts of the city. When Wandong’s family moved the iron shop back to Xuejiazhuang, Aunt Yao was only in her teens and hadn’t married yet. Wandong was still wearing crotch pants. Neither of them belonged to the same village. Didn't speak at all.

But at this moment, Aunt Yao urgently needed someone to give her courage, so she said that.

The natal family is just the natal family, Wandong smiled and didn't care about it.

Both Wang Zi and Aunt Yao's servants noticed that their Auntie's complexion improved a lot when Dr. Mei walked in.

Wang Zi: "Auntie, since Dr. Mei is here, let Dr. Mei take your pulse."

"Aunt Yao, you..." Wandong withdrew the hand that gave Aunt Yao the pulse, wiped his fingers, and thought about it, his eyes froze slightly.

"Hmm...?" Aunt Yao, Wang Zi, and Aunt Yao's maid all looked at him.

Wan Dong sighed: "Aunt Yao, you are happy."

Aunt Yao was stunned when she heard that, only the servant girl was happy for her: "Auntie, the master will be grateful to you when I come to the spring... It's just poor, woooooo... The master has always wanted a child, but he didn't want to... Woo."

"Wandong, is this true?" Aunt Yao couldn't see much joy on her face, but it wasn't that she didn't want this child.

Wandong can probably guess Aunt Yao's scruples. If this child is born, whether she can take care of it is a problem, but if it is born, she will not be considered an outsider of the Kang family's wealth. a little.

"Little Wandong, do it again, and do it again for me." Aunt Yao seemed a little anxious, she was probably afraid that the child would be taken away by the second and third family members.Kang Erniang stayed at home to recruit her son-in-law, and the third master Kang hadn't married yet. If the third master wanted to take the child away, what else could she say as a big concubine.

Wandong's smile was always so shallow, he repeated: "That's right, Aunt Yao is indeed happy, it should have been more than two months."

"..." Aunt Yao was completely speechless, her face darkened.She was more worried about the fate of the child.

"Kang Boning, you really hurt me a lot, you're going to hurt me after you die!" Aunt Yao said so, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.

What makes her sad is not that the child's arrival is not at the right time, but that she really doesn't know what to do.

"Auntie, rest well. If you are twin, remember to take good care of your body. You will have to avoid eating in the future. I told Wangzi, and I will let him tell you." Wandong said and went out.

He talked a few words with Wang Zi and Aunt Yao's maid outside the wing room.

After finishing speaking, he only felt that someone was staring at him, and he didn't need to raise his head to know it was Lord Mo.

Wangzi went to the back kitchen, and the maid went into the west chamber to take care of Aunt Yao.

At this time, Wandong walked over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you don't need to look at me like you would look at a suspect. Look at this, Your Excellency."

He took out the jade tablet that Zou Wu'an gave him, and after seeing Mo Li frowned slightly, he continued to put it away.

Mo Li still had a handsome face: "You should have a rough idea of ​​the situation here, right?"

"I still don't know what happened to the iron pestle, don't tell me it was sent by the Yu family yesterday?"

"I'll ask Captain Ye to tell you quickly."

Detective Ye: "The iron pestle was given to Kang Boning by the Yu family. There are three samples. Kang Boning just took the iron pestle into the Taoyuan, and was killed shortly after entering. The iron pestle at the scene of the crime yesterday Two were taken away, and the one without blood was taken away by the entourage of Lord Shi Lang."

Wandong narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes: "So only 'Tiechu' knows who the murderer is?"

"This..." Detective Ye was taken aback by his words, but it was undeniable that this was the case.

Captain Ye quickly continued: "Yesterday, it happened that Kang Boning's concubine, Mrs. Yao, was going back to her mother's house, and she brought her maid back. Kang Boning sent Wang Zi, a servant who often followed him, to drive there, because yesterday was also the rest day of Santaoyuan. , so apart from a cook and a servant in the back kitchen, the two long-term workers in the front yard also went home."

Wandong understood, logically, the iron pestle was just a tool that the murderer picked up to kill at the moment, a murder weapon, but Zou Wu'an was able to hold on to the iron pestle.

Zou Wu'an is really weirder than ordinary people...a person who likes to dig into the horns.

What others don't care about, he cares about.

After Detective Ye finished speaking quickly, Mo Li asked him to continue to take people to interrogate the members of the Kang family. After Detective Ye left quickly, Mo Li and Wandong went to Taolin where the accident happened.

"Did Master Mo find anything?" Wandong asked.

Mo Li: "After Captain Ye quickly asks Erniang Kang."

"What about the third master Kang and the second son-in-law of the Kang family? When will they return?"

The elder of the Kang family is dead, so these two should come back.Besides, the riches of the Kang family were also waiting for them.

"The day after tomorrow at the latest." Mo Li still cherishes words like gold.

"Lord Mo, Kang Boning's body has not been touched."

"nature."

"Then Master Mo will cover for me, I want to take a look."

Wan Dong came out of the main hall where the coffin was parked, and Mo Li saw that his face was much paler than before, and beads of sweat were still standing on his forehead.

The weather has turned cold at this time in previous years, but this year is a little different, and it is still very hot when it is almost noon.

"After all, it's almost noon, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear this yin energy..." Wandong murmured to himself, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands that had been washed nearly three times just now.

After wiping his fingers, he turned slightly to look at Mo Li, his eyes were as sharp as torches: "Lord Mo, take a step to speak."
