Chapter 39 Good kick

Hu Maoxi said with a gloomy face: "Sun Wucai, what's going on, please tell me honestly."

Sun Xiancheng's grievances are mixed with resentment, and resentment is also mixed with some fear.

But at this time, it is too late to blame others and shirk responsibility.

After all, the two maids saw him kicking the door, so he couldn't deny it, so he bravely replied truthfully:

"This matter was indeed done by the lower official. The lower official kicked the lintel of the Taigong's house and is willing to be punished."

Good kick!

Hu Maoxi almost spoke his mind.

I wanted to praise the old guy, but seeing the angry faces, he immediately pulled his face down and cursed bitterly:

"You **** old thing, I asked you to accompany Mrs. Chu to investigate the case. What are you doing kicking someone's door? You deliberately embarrass me, don't you?"

Sun Xiancheng's speech was at a loss, and he became submissive again, and his stalwart and glorious image just now disappeared.

Chu Nanzhi didn't want Sun Xiancheng to be scolded again, and said bluntly to everyone:

"Magistrate Hu doesn't have to embarrass the county magistrate, it was the women who encouraged the county magistrate to kick the door."

"what?"

Zhao Taigong's face became even more embarrassing, and he scolded with a livid face: "Miss Chu, I have no grievances or enmity with you, why do you come to harm me?"

"The grandpa was joking."

Chu Nanzhi held Sibao's little hand and said calmly:

"Since the civilian woman was entrusted by County Magistrate Hu to investigate this case for him, she must do her best and give an explanation to the adults and to the grandfather."

"So you ordered Sun Xiancheng to kick down the gate of my house?"

Mr. Zhao has an old face.

"Indeed, this is inappropriate."

Chu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing awkwardly, and then immediately maintained a serious image:

"However, if the door hadn't been forcibly kicked open today, I'm afraid the secrets buried in this courtyard would never see the light of day."

"You wicked woman, what nonsense are you talking about, what secrets can my grandmother's yard have?"

Zhao Erlang glared at each other.

Yu’s pear blossoms were crying with rain, making her even more sad:

"My lord, I don't want to see this woman again. Please get her out quickly. She destroyed the yard and disturbed the mother's heroic spirit. If my mother knows about it, I must blame the slave for disrespecting her old man."

She spoke so seriously that Taigong Zhao gradually clenched his fists, bit his lips together, and immediately burst into anger.

Hu Maoxi crept to the side, trembling all over.

Sun Xiancheng rubbed his hands together and unconsciously covered his chest tightly.

Zhao Taigong had a sullen face, and with a big wave of his hand, several guards surrounded him.

"slow."

Chu Nanzhi immediately protected Sibao and shouted loudly.

Zhao Taigong was silent, and went straight forward with the guard.

"Now that things are going on, Taigong still wants to simply believe that your son is just missing?"

Chu Nanzhi doubled her volume, let out a loud roar, and frightened the surrounding guards into place.

Mr. Zhao had no expression on his face. After pondering for a moment, he calmly waved his hand behind him.

The nurses had no choice but to retreat.

Hu Maoxi felt the wind under his feet, and immediately walked to Chu Nanzhi's side.

Sun Xiancheng slowly lowered his hands and followed secretly.

Seeing that the crisis had dissipated, Chu Nanzhi calmly asked, "Do you think there is anything strange about this courtyard?"

After a pause, she quickly added a reminder: "Smell."

Everyone sniffed carefully.

Hu Maoxi answered first: "The smell of acetic acid seems to be mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves."

"good."

Chu Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction.

"so what?"

Zhao Taigong took a crutch made of pure gold from his servants, and leaned on it with both hands: "A few days ago, my wife was worried that there would be dirt in the mother's house, so I specially asked my servants to buy some bamboo vinegar to prevent insects and deodorize. "

"That's right, it's true that bamboo vinegar repels insects."

Chu Nanzhi reminded with a smile: "But Grandpa just said that, bamboo vinegar can also deodorize."

Zhao Taigong frowned: "What do you mean?"

Everyone was also a little puzzled.

"I heard from my subordinates that the lady who came to clean the courtyard this time is the lady of the lord. Is this correct?"

Yu Shi stopped sobbing, covered his face and nodded delicately, and then held Zhao Taigong tightly with both hands.

"But the woman also heard that this yard has been cleaned by servants since the old lady passed away. Why is it not only the lady who came here in person this time, but also took a lot of trouble to sprinkle bamboo vinegar all over the yard?"

Chu Nanzhi felt that this move was outrageous, so he sneered indifferently:

"Let's not mention that these days, the whole family is struggling to find Mr. Xiaolang because of the disappearance. You, the mistress of the house, don't focus on finding Mr. Xiaolang. Instead, you have the leisure to care about whether there is any dirt in the dead man's yard. , I'm afraid this is a bit too deliberate."

Hu Maoxi felt that it was reasonable, and suddenly complained dissatisfied:

"Don't blame me, grandpa. You made my subordinates spend a lot of trouble. You didn't hesitate to let me dispatch three classes of yamen servants and even the whole county's servants, causing the entire Luyan Port to look for people upside down, but you and your wife actually spent all your thoughts on one place. In the abandoned yard, this is a bit unreasonable."

After a pause, he felt that his summary was not comprehensive enough, so he immediately added in a humble tone:

"Even if you miss your dead mother, when can't you clean up the courtyard? Why should it be at such a critical juncture, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

Unexpectedly, such an inconspicuous matter would attract so many doubts, Mr. Zhao also frowned a little unreasonably: "My wife is not deeply involved in the world, so I don't think about things properly. Brother Hu, don't blame me."

After hearing these words, Yu Shi felt greatly wronged again, and cried again:

"My lord, don't you want to listen to these people talking nonsense here. They started talking nonsense when they couldn't find Yan'er. The mother's courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time. A few days ago, someone reported that there were pests and rats in the courtyard. , The slave family has been taking care of family affairs and can't get away from it. A few days ago, Yan'er disappeared, and the slave family was restless all day long, so they wanted to do something for the mother as the master, so that they could feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Zhao Taigong stretched out his age-spotted hand to wipe the teardrops from the corners of her eyes full of pity, and comforted her softly:

"Don't be afraid, there is a husband, they dare not make things difficult for you."

Seeing the affectionate look of the old couple and the young wife, Chu Nanzhi's eyes turned to the dry well unconsciously.

I don't know how the old man should feel after he finds the body.

The revenge of killing a son is irresistible.

She laughed coldly on purpose: "Even if I can cover up the stench in the hospital for a superficial stability, I'm afraid the stench in my heart will never get rid of it. There are a lot of shady secrets hidden in this courtyard, isn't it?" Madam Yu can sleep soundly every night? Are you not afraid of being killed by wronged souls?"

When Yu Shi heard this, he was terrified, hid in Zhao Taigong's arms and cursed:

"Stop talking nonsense, you wicked woman, and play tricks here."

Zhao Erlang was also very angry, pointing at Chu Nanzhi and shouting indignantly:

"My surname is Chu, I think you are a woman, and I didn't want to argue with you, but since you came to this courtyard, you have repeatedly told stories, destroyed my grandmother's courtyard, and instigated my younger brother to be murdered. If you don’t see a dead body, if you grab and bite without any evidence, if you continue to pester me, I won’t be polite to you.”

"Okay, if you want to see the corpse, I will let you see with your own eyes today whether there is a corpse hidden in this courtyard."

Chu Nanzhi's eyes gradually showed a chilling sullen look.

I want to tell you a story. When I woke up early this morning, there was thick ice outside, and I was shivering from the cold...

Then there is no more, I went to sell matches first, I can’t afford air-conditioning and heating at home, if you have recommended tickets, you can lend me a few and I will burn them for heating. If you want matches, you can leave a message. If I can come back alive, I will give Everyone ships.
