The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The wind and rain were blowing, the night was thick and dark, in the inner room of the Qingsong Courtyard of the Tang Mansion.

Two men in black stood in front of the couch under the window, reporting the details of the night's investigation to the person on the couch.

"Second Young Master, our guess was correct. Following Lou Quan, we found the real murderer." Tang Si said.

Tang Zhongbai was silent for a long time before he asked, "Did you hear Miss Lou say that she did it herself?"

"Yeah!" Tang Si frowned, and the volume of his firm voice increased by three points.

"Tang San, what do you think?"

After Tang San thought about it, it was not until Tang Zhongbai reminded him that he felt that everything was too simple. He suddenly remembered that before they went up to the roof, Lou Quan had already entered the house. During this time, the two of them were still outside and did not know the situation inside the house.

The two were so overwhelmed by the joy of finding the real murderer that they ignored this small detail.

He hurriedly said, "Second Master, we have half a cup of tea and we don't know what happened in the house. Do you suspect that the young lady of the Lou family was forced by Lou Quan's words and lost control of her emotions and said that she killed someone?"

"Where is Lou Quan? Can we find him?" Tang Zhongbai asked.

As long as we find him, we can find out by asking him, but now I am afraid...

"He... he was taken away by Lou Xiaofeng's people. I don't know... it's over. I'm afraid Lou Xiaofeng wants to silence him." Tang Si looked up at Tang Zhongbai in horror. He was stunned for a long time before he said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I didn't do it well. When Lou Quan was taken away, I should have followed..."

Tang Zhongbai waved his hand, his face expressionless, but his eyes became more and more profound, "Forget it, it's late now, you've been tired all night, go to bed early."

Both of them were a little dejected. They were upset because they had not completed their first task after returning to the county.

The two looked at each other and left the house tacitly.

The moment the door closed, Tang Zhongbai's serious voice came, "You two are not allowed to act rashly without my order."

The two of them shuddered and looked at each other, feeling bitter in their hearts. The young master was indeed meticulous and he could see through their little thoughts.

After Tang Zhongbai listened attentively to the sound of the door of the west wing being pushed and closed, he turned his attention back to thinking carefully about Tang San and Tang Si from beginning to end.

One thing is clear, the three murdered mother and children were confirmed to be Lou Xiaofeng's mistress and illegitimate children, and the people who killed them were definitely not Lou Xiaofeng's people. Of course, the girl from the Lou family is ruled out first.

Death is like the extinguishing of a light. Given Lou Xiaofeng's face-saving personality, he would definitely not acknowledge these three people. But he would not sit back and let the real murderer walk free.

The problem now is that the girl from the Lou family admitted the crime. If Lou Xiaofeng believed it, he would not let her go because of the relationship with Cao and the person killed was his cherished son whom he protected very well.

Lou Quan and Miss Lou are probably now two cold corpses.

The focus of this case is not on the Lou family. The girl from the Lou family has been living in a large courtyard for many years. She is thin and small. There were no signs of fighting at the scene. It is impossible for her to kill three opponents who she could not beat so easily.

Who will help her?

Tang Zhongbai stood up from the couch and was about to go out, looking up at the dark, windy and rainy yard. Suddenly he stopped, smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he really missed her so much every time he saw her.

He raised his hand to close the door, blew out the candle, and fell asleep.

It rained all night, blowing away all the dead leaves. In the morning, the rain had not stopped, but it was much lighter than yesterday.

Tang San and Tang Si walked back and forth in front of Tang Zhongbai's door anxiously.

The young master had not had a good rest since returning to the county, and they were afraid of disturbing his rest, so they did not dare to knock on the door and wake him up.

At three quarters past noon, I finally heard the sound of Tang Zhongbai opening the door.

The two of them hurried over to greet him, "Young Master, something big has happened."

Tang Zhongbai asked sleepily, "What happened?"

"There's news from the Lou family that a thief broke into the Lou mansion last night and killed the girl from the Lou family. Lou Xiaofeng spread the word that whoever can help find the thief will be rewarded with a large sum of money. Sir, what should we do now?"

Tang Si was furious. The words he had said when they left last night had no effect at all. That beast Lou Xiaofeng still killed his own daughter.

How can such an inhuman thing deserve the word "human"?

Tang Zhongbai's heart beat violently twice. This news was beyond his expectation. He had hoped to extract some useful information from the girl from the Lou family, but he didn't expect Lou Xiaofeng to take her life ahead of time.

The only purpose of Lou Xiaofeng doing this was to cover up the ugly deeds he had done and avoid tarnishing his reputation.

It can be seen that he didn't care about the death of the mother and her two children.

Tang Zhongbai made a decision immediately and gave the order.

"Tang Si, go to the yamen and find Lord Hu, and ask him to send a few people to the mass grave in the north of the city to look for Lou Quan's body. Tang San, come with me and go back to the crime scene in Anchengfang."

"Yes."

The three of them split up into two groups and moved on their own. When they reached the gate of the mansion, Tang Zhongbai stopped and said to the gatekeeper, "Send someone to the Bamboo Forest Garden to inform Miss Jiang and ask her to wait for me at the Lai Ju Jiu She."

……

In the yard where the Anchengfang crime occurred, Tang Zhongbai and Tang San went directly to Lou Quan's house and began to search.

A series of heart-wrenching coughs came from the yard next to them, followed by a series of foul language and curses. Tang Zhongbai frowned, wondering why Lou Xiaofeng would find such a neighbor for the mother and her two children.

The cursing became louder and louder. He heard the word Xue Ling in the curse, and then he realized that Wu Fan's home was next door.

He couldn't help but feel disgusted. This family was indeed not a good one.

Lou Quan's room was exquisitely decorated, with beds, cabinets, tables and chairs all made of top-quality mahogany furniture. He was a servant, but there were three or four paintings by famous artists hanging in his room, and the items on the antique shelf were all top-quality.

It seems that Lou Xiaofeng had been quite nice to him in the past, otherwise he would not have dared to put it out in the open.

But what does it matter? In the end, he was still ruthlessly abandoned.

Tang Zhongbai stopped beside the desk in the room. There was still ink in the inkstone on the desk, and the brushes were thrown randomly on the table. There were some ink stains on the pile of rice paper on the table.

He picked up the top piece of rice paper and carefully observed the light and shadow. Unfortunately, the ink was sparse and he couldn't tell what was written.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the yard, and then Hu Yu was seen with two officers and Jiang Pizi following behind them.

"Brother Jiang, you are not going back to Suanzao County, are you planning to work with Lord Hu?" He had seen Hu Yu taking him with him on several occasions, and he was suspicious, wondering why a person who came to visit relatives would follow him everywhere to investigate a case. Seeing the two inseparable people again today, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Hu Yu answered his doubts for him and said with a smile: "Second Master, you know my nephew's temper. I am afraid that he will return to his old ways. So I brought him with me to show him how hard it is for me to handle cases. I want him to experience it firsthand, so that he won't cause me any big trouble in the future."

Jiang Pizi scratched his head embarrassedly, and his face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck.

Tang Zhongbai nodded and smiled, then continued searching.

Lou Quan was still a bit naive, Tang San quickly searched the closet and found a locked wooden box. Tang San split the box with a sword, and many papers fell out. Tang Zhongbai and Hu Yu picked them up. They were all daily shopping lists, which were not very helpful to his case.

Hu Yu smiled after reading it and said, "This is Lord Lou's handwriting. Let's see how he can refute it this time."

"Sir Hu, can we please move to Lai Ju Tavern? We can discuss the case in detail while we eat."

Hu Yu knew that he had an idea, so he nodded in agreement, and the group left Andingfang and walked towards the Jiushe.
