After Hua Lang and Song Gongqing and others returned to the county office, not long after they sat down to rest, the government officials led Deng Cuiyun and others to rush over, which made Hua Lang and them very strange, why did the government officials come and go so quickly, they had to ride horses for half a day.

After everyone met, Wen Meng explained: "After you left, we were a little uneasy, so we rushed over after lunch, but when we walked on the road, we met two officials, they said they were looking for Deng Cuiyun, so we greeted them and came." ”

After everyone understood, they also felt good, at least it saved a lot of time, but Deng Cuiyun's face was pale at this time, and she looked nervous, and Hua Lang and the others also understood her mood at this time, so they didn't say much else, only talked about the shoes they were looking for, the gold silk money bag and the place where the fracture was found.

After Deng Cuiyun looked at the shoes and the money bag, she suddenly fell to the ground, tears flowed down, she said while crying: "This shoe was made for my husband when he left, and this money bag was also sewn by me for him, and now it is ...... Now the things are still there, what about you, husband? ”

As she spoke, Deng Cuiyun couldn't suppress her crying, everyone saw this, and it was not persuasion, nor was it persuasion, and when everyone was in trouble, Deng Cuiyun suddenly couldn't get up in one breath and fainted on the ground, Hua Wan'er hurriedly went to see it, and then said to everyone: "It's okay, she's just overly sad, just rest for a while." ”

Only then did everyone feel relieved, and then Hua Lang asked Hua Wan'er to help Deng Cuiyun to rest first, and they discussed what to do next in the living room.

Hua Lang sat in the living room and muttered for a long time, and then said: "Now that it has been determined that the deceased is Murong Tong, then the injury on his foot bone was left when he was a child, and now through the verification of the bones, we can know that Lu Dao is as follows, Murong Tong was poisoned, the money was taken away, and then it was buried." ”

Everyone nodded, but everyone was still confused, knowing this, is it useful?

At this time, Hua Lang continued: "At that time, Murong Tong set off after noon, he was poisoned, there are two situations, either he was poisoned when he was at home, or he was poisoned in the middle of the way, but that road was very rugged, and there was no inn or anything nearby, how could he be poisoned through his mouth?" ”

"So he was poisoned at home?" Wen Meng hurriedly asked, and at this time, Yin Wuxian also hurriedly said: "Maybe he walked halfway and suddenly became thirsty, and it happened that there were people on the road, so he borrowed water from others to drink, but the pedestrian saw that Murong Tong was dressed gorgeously and thought that he was a rich man, so he poisoned the water in order to steal the money, wasn't the money in the golden silk money bag missing, which just confirmed that someone coveted his money to kill people." ”

After Yin Wushu finished speaking, Hua Lang did not speak, and at this time, Song Gongqing said: "It is still possible that Miss Wen said, maybe it is Murong Tong's poison in Lintong County, Yin Daxia You think, the place where we found the body is very close to Longxu County, if Murong Tong is thirsty, he can bear it, and wait until he goes to the Western Suburbs Tea House to drink it, I think he should have been poisoned in Lintong County, but when he was about to go to Longxu County, the poison suddenly attacked, and the person who harmed him has been following, and when Murong Tong died, he disposed of the body and took the money, At this time, the corpse was very close to Longxu County, and no one would have thought that the murderer was in Lintong County! ”

After Song Gongqing said this, Yin Wuyi did not agree with it, the two discussed it a lot, and they really couldn't tell anything, so they looked at Hua Lang together, Hua Lang saw the two of them looking at him, so he smiled faintly and said: "Both of them have this possibility, but what kind of thing is it, in the absence of evidence, no one can say, I think it's better to investigate, and I think this matter is easy to investigate." ”

Everyone thinks that what Hua Lang said is very right, and they will stop arguing after the last day, and just wait for tomorrow after dawn to start the investigation.

But at the end of dusk, it was already twilight, and Hua Wan'er hurriedly ran to tell everyone, saying that Deng Cuiyun had woken up and she wanted to see Hua Lang.

Everyone came to Deng Cuiyun's resting place, Deng Cuiyun said: "Now that my husband's bones have been found, I have no nostalgia, please send me and my husband's bones to the Zhou family in Longxu County, that is my husband's mother's maiden home, and now there are still uncles and aunts, I will go to him for one night and tell them about it casually." ”

Deng Cuiyun said the sorrow, after everyone listened, they could still refuse him, and Murong Tong's bones, Hualang They had already checked them, and it was useless to stay in the county office, since Deng Cuiyun wanted to take the bones back, let her take them away.

So when it was getting dark, Hua Lang, Wen Meng, and Yin Wuxian found a carriage and sent the bones of Deng Cuiyun and Murong Tong to the Zhou family in Longxu County, the Zhou family's mansion was very large, and it seemed that they also had a lot of money in Longxu County.

They were greeted by an old man in his fifties, who was still in good spirits despite his age, but when he heard the news of his nephew's death, his face suddenly turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone entered the living room, and suddenly a cry came from outside, and then Hua Lang and the others saw a slightly chubby lady crying into the house, she took Deng Cuiyun's hand, and said while crying: "My hard-working nephew, my hard-working child, you ...... Why did you leave like this, where will my aunt go to see you when she misses you in the future, what should you do if you let Cuiyun alone......"

At this time, Murong Tong's uncle reprimanded: "Cuiyun is already very sad and sad, if you cry like this, won't it make her even more sad, you!" ”

When Murong Tong's uncle said this, Murong Tong's aunt also thought it was, but she still sobbed in a low voice: "Aren't I also sad, why did you say that Tong'er was so miserable, he lost his mother when he was young, he lost his father when he was older, and now he even ...... himself I'm sorry for my sister for not taking good care of her son. ”

The family was sad, which made Hualang and the others feel very uncomfortable, and they could only promise Deng Cuiyun and them that they would definitely be able to find the murderer of Murong Tong and avenge Murong.

Before leaving, Hua Lang gave another instruction before leaving.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, they hurried to the county office, and at this time, it was already dark, and they ate some casual food for dinner, and then went to sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up, and after some preparations, Hua Lang said to Song Gongqing: "You are investigating in Longxu County, on the day Murong Tong was killed, but someone passed by that mountain road, I and everyone rushed back to Lintong County today to investigate whether Murong Tong had been with people before leaving Lintong County." ”
