Mao Kunming was kicked by his brother-in-law and rolled to the ground and howled, coupled with Yan Jie's continuous crying, everyone didn't notice Wen Yuan's murmuring and intimacy for a while.

In an instant, he let go of his hand, and he looked like he was enforcing the law impartially, and Yan Bing, who was ridiculed, took a step back away from the Mao couple and silently spit on himself - make you soft-hearted! Who should be crying if Yuanlang didn't hold his legs and lie on the ground?

Immediately after Wen Yuan ignored Mao Kunming, who shouted "I have a broken leg" to claim compensation, he directly retried the mother-in-law who was the gatekeeper, and she confessed that the fourth lady was also one of the people who had gone out, but because she was the master, she didn't talk about it.

"So, you two are still suspicious." A light sentence immediately stopped Mao Kunming's noisy roar.

This benevolent brother is also able to bend and stretch, and immediately got up from the ground and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!" A certain just returned home from Shudi, and yesterday morning he visited his grandfather and immediately accompanied him to the funeral, how could he have a chance to commit a crime? Besides, there's no reason to kill someone, right? ”

Wen Yuan listened to this, but asked with a puzzled face: "Zhao Weng only told his friends two months ago that there was no hope of having a son and wanted his youngest daughter and son-in-law to inherit the family business, and it was quite a coincidence that you and your sister-in-law would return to Beijing immediately, right?" ”

After speaking, he patted Mao Kunming on the shoulder again, as if pushing himself and others, he felt sorry for him: "I can understand your feelings, Ling Ci is in Shu to help his father find cheap and high-quality goods through Ling Zun's relationship, there is no merit and hard work, Zhao Weng is unwilling to share any family business with Ling Ci, it is really not true!" ”

Implication: Therefore, it is possible to kill a hundred while he has not made a will, although the married daughter still cannot share the property, but he may be able to extort a sum of money in the name of settling the payment.

When Mao Kunming heard Wen Yuan's words, he immediately remembered that he had an argument with his grandfather in the Zhao family yesterday morning, and even his rhetoric was similar to it, and he was suddenly trembling with fright.

He immediately shook his brother-in-law's hand, wept bitterly and begged: "A certain Wan Wan has no evil intentions!" I really didn't do it, please Brother Rong for help, help! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Wen Yuan wanted to laugh when he heard it, he also felt that the person in front of him who bullied the soft and was afraid that he would only beat his wife, he was afraid that he would not be able to dismember his ancestor, so he only gambled and said, "A certain case will be investigated well and you will be innocent, you can take care of Ling Zhengbei and joke with a certain fiancée again, can you?" ”

"Oh? Oh! Of course, that's exactly how it should be! Mao Kunming nodded and smiled again and again, and then turned his head to push Yanjie with a fierce face, and scolded and said, "I blame you stupid woman, it's okay to mess around!" ”

Yanjie covered her red and swollen face, tears rippled, and she bit her lip and trembled slightly while dodging. She was extremely ashamed and angry because she was beaten and lost face in public, and she thought that Yan Bing was standing next to her and watching the joke, and she was full of hatred and hatred, and there was nothing she could do to eliminate it.

Liu Niang Yanqing, who hid behind her sister at the beginning and was not affected, looked up to the future fifth brother-in-law with admiration, thinking that he was handsome and eloquent.

When she turned her head to look at Yan Bing again, Yan Qing's eyes turned to resentment. When Li left, she didn't see the final truth, but she clearly remembered that Yan Bing had a dispute with Ah Niang because of her marriage, and even made aggressive threats, and it was hard to guarantee that Ah Niang's death had nothing to do with her - how could such a disobedient and unfilial woman get a good son-in-law?

Yan Bing, who was hated by her sisters at the same time, didn't know anything about it, she just looked at the ups and downs of the scene in front of her with Xingyi and other bystanders, and was dumbfounded.

When Wen Yuan beat Mao Kunming, they thought that this matter could not be good - the county lieutenant was just a sesame petty official, and he had no right to torture at all, and it didn't matter if he beat slaves and maids, but Mao Kunming was a person, and looking at his ruthless appearance of beating his wife, it didn't look like a good stubble. Unexpectedly, before everyone could react, Wen Yuan had already turned things around in a few words.

Yan Bing was even thinking that if she returned to the house, Sister Shu would definitely be beaten violently, and she couldn't bear to look at it directly. No, no, no, you can't be soft-hearted, and you deserve to be beaten! actually asked the maid to throw that thing at the door of her unmarried sister, which was purely a worry about her character and self-inflicted.

After the farce ended, Wen Yuan saw that the criminal scribe did not return for a long time, so he simply went to the nursery to investigate carefully, and finally found dried dark brown blood droplets on the backyard wall.

"Come on, look for it along the road to the left and right outside the wall." Wen Yuan immediately sent a servant to check, and sure enough, blood stains were also found on the road south outside the wall, and the thing should have been thrown in by the murderer from the outside.

In this way, the suspicion of Mao Kunming and his wife was suddenly reduced, so Wen Yuan did not take them back to the county government to continue interrogation, but only asked them not to leave Beijing at will before the case was solved, and they must always wait for the summons. Then he led a group of people to chase the blood stains on the ground and probe all the way away.

As soon as Wen Yuan took the servants away, the Shu family in Baiyun Temple finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. The uncle looked at Xingyi and was about to say something, but he had immediately entered the role of the filial son and head of the family, and coughed lightly: "Then, everyone will return to you and continue the memorial ceremony." ”

Yan Bing moved to the eldest aunt, gently touched her arm, and mouthed Yan Jie Nunu, who was still crying in the corner.

There are some things that she can't say as an unpopular sister, although the Qian family is greedy for money, but after all, she is a female elder who has had children and a harmonious family, so she can temporarily take on the role of a mother.

Qian looked at Yan Bing and then looked at Yan Jie, and said in his heart that although the second room has lost its pillars, it is obvious that the son-in-law is powerful, and the uncle was also remembered by the saint before he died, and he will have a good life in the future.

Thinking like this, she immediately walked over gently and kindly to help Yanjie, and persuaded: "Look at this makeup, my aunt will accompany you to freshen up." ”

Yanjie followed with her face as good as a stream, she went down to freshen up and wash for two days and did not come out again, until the funeral was over, she hung her head listlessly and cried after Xingyi who threw the basin.

Yan Bing quietly looked at it, and saw that Sister Shu's cheeks were still a little swollen, and her willow eyes were even more red like lychees, but because everyone was crying, it was inconspicuous.

She suddenly felt a relative--this bad marriage is really a sin for half a lifetime! Fortunately, he didn't fall into the hands of Zheng Gongxu.

After thinking about it, in addition to thanking Brother Wen Yuan, Grandpa also contributed a lot.

Although he doesn't spend much time with each other on weekdays, he really has nothing to say about the kindness of his brother and sister. Before leaving, I was still thinking about the two of them, not only left a letter of resignation but also a will, not how to distribute the property, but wrote a thick stack of papers, giving suggestions for the future of the two in every detail, as well as many points, and the heart of the son of the fist is overflowing between the lines.

Thinking of this, he happened to see the coffin enter the pit, and Xingyi personally shoveled and scattered the soil. Yan Bing's nose suddenly became sore, and she couldn't help but shake her slightly when she didn't wipe her eyes with a ginger handkerchief.

Wen Yuan, who was dressed in fine linen half-sleeves, was kneeling beside her as a half-son, and when he saw this, he hurriedly handed over his thin cotton cloth handkerchief, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mourn and change." Don't push yourself too hard, he definitely wants you to live a healthy and happy life. ”

"Hmm." Yan Bing nodded lightly, and continued to cry to see Shu Hongyang off for the last time, so she didn't answer on the spot.

It wasn't until the end of the ceremony that everyone went back to Zhuangzi where the ancestral tomb was located for dinner, and when Yan Bing and Wen Yuan sat in the garden chatting, she sighed again and said: "-I always feel that my life is not good, and my parents are thin, and I don't know if the six relatives are shallow......"

"I'm the same as you, neither of us can dislike anyone," Wen Yuan saw that there was no one around, so he simply took Yan Bing's hand and said with a smile, "Most of the fate of the two of them will be changed to the best if they don't get together, I think our married life will be very good......"

In the hazy moonlight, the two held hands and looked at each other, and they talked to each other in an alternative way.

"Negative or positive?" Yan Bing suddenly remembered what she used to say before, and her heart seemed to feel a little better.

She didn't want to mention Grandpa anymore, so she simply asked about Wen Yuan's errand, and said bluntly: "I heard that Shangfeng limited your Lantian County order to solve the case in seven days, and this is the third day, do you have a clue?" How can you still have the time to accompany me? Don't delay your errand. ”

"It's okay, the person who can't solve the case and will be held accountable is the county order, and I, the county lieutenant, are still leisurely." Wen Yuan first teased himself as if laughing at himself.

Then he looked at Yan Bing and replied seriously: "I interrogated many people in the Zhao family, but I didn't gain anything, I always felt that I missed something, but I couldn't remember it for a while." Why don't I tell you about the way you think by the way? ”

"'Okay, I'll listen.' Yan Bing readily agreed, she used to like to watch shows like "Detective Decryption" the most.

Wen Yuan began to talk eloquently: "Speaking of which, the background foreshadowing is not complicated. Zhao Jinzhu is a businessman, so he can only take a concubine when he is forty years old and has no children, so the serious female protagonist in the family only has an old wife, and the concubine is a good family of Dian, who changes every year or two, just to work hard to give birth to a son. ”

"However, I still don't have a son, so I have to recruit a son-in-law for my youngest daughter." Yan Bing helped to supplement the second half.

"That's right, now that the grandson born to the youngest daughter is ten years old, it is said that he is smart and clever, and Zhao Jinzhu wants to gradually hand over the business to his son-in-law, and this is what happened."

After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he opened another page of the map, looked at it in the dim candlelight, frowned, and said: "If you look at it according to the conflict of interest and the beneficiary, it should be Mao Kunming who is suspicious. But I don't think it's like it, and I've always suspected that the person who threw the thing into the temple was deliberately framed. ”

The vicious and cruel taking of people and slashing them more than a dozen times, without robbing the money, is more like seeking revenge no matter how you look at it.

"The red line you drew is bloodstains, that is, the murderer's walking route?" In the gradually darkening sky, Yan Bing could only look at the red line for most of the circle.

The route was very strange, the body was in the east temple and in the north, but the murderer went from east to south and then to west, and it took a big circle to reach the nursery.

Yan Bing couldn't help but wonder: "If you deliberately set up a blame, why did you take a detour instead of going straight to Baiyun Temple?" ”

"Huh?" Wen Yuan was stunned by her question for a moment, and then suddenly a spirit was excited-route, this route is indeed very strange!

Could it be......
