Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Why did Mrs. Meng want to kill Yinniang?

Why did the entire Meng family seem a little calm about Mrs. Meng's death?

Zhao Ran suddenly said: "Send someone to look for Nanny Song in the Meng Mansion."

The county magistrate finally figured it out, and was worried about the fact that Mrs. Shan Chang was the murderer. Hearing Zhao Ran's words, he thought that this kid was also very understanding of human affairs. After one child, Mrs. Meng's husband is probably the head of the mountain.Nanny Song accumulated resentment and hatred, and now her only hope is gone. It is reasonable to be unfavorable to Shanzhang's intentions, but this is more or less a scandal, but he can't explain it clearly. He coughed: "I will tell Shanzhang about this matter later. long."

"No, no!" Zhao Ran shook his head and said, "Mrs. Meng may not be referring to the head of the mountain!"

The magistrate frowned and said, "Who else could it be if it's not the head of the mountain?"

Hengsheng said: "It has been rumored in the mansion that Nanny Song had a husband before she came to Meng's mansion as a dowry. It is said that she was a distant relative of the old lady. Later, she went out to do business and accidentally fell into the water and died."

"That being the case, what does that have to do with this case?"

Clearly said: "Because I suspect that the man is not dead!"

Jiu Ru stood up and said, "Whether it is true or not, please ask the county magistrate to send someone to the Meng Mansion."

The county magistrate had no choice but to send a yamen servant to report to the Song family overnight, and then asked Zhaoran, "What evidence do you have that Mrs. Meng was killed by this man?"

"Feeling." Zhao Ran said.

The county magistrate was furious about it, so he spread his hands openly and said, "Because only in this way can we connect all the people. I have to wait for Mrs. Song to come to answer the county magistrate's specific situation."

The yamen servant ran back after a while, sweating profusely, and said, "My lord, Nanny Song is gone."

The county magistrate finally came to his senses and slapped the gavel: "Could it be that he is fleeing in fear of crime? Come here! Capture the fugitive quickly!"

After he finished ordering the yamen servants, he politely said to Jiuru: "You guys rest first, wait for the officer to catch the fugitive, and then find someone to inform the little sage."

Jiuru nodded: "Alright."

----

In fact, Zhao Ran has been yawning a lot since he was busy early in the morning. Jiu Ru carried him out of the yamen and walked across the long street: "What did you secretly ask the master during the interrogation?"

Zhao Ran leaned on Jiu Ru's shoulder and said, "I asked him, when Meng Tian died 17 years ago, what records were there at the scene of the crime? The master said that there was a burnt shoe and a pearl was found at the scene. The young Meng Chengtian discovered it himself."

"So Meng Tian was actually killed by Mrs. Meng. She accidentally left an embroidered shoe on the spot when she set fire to it. She fled back to her room wearing an embroidered shoe, and then that embroidered shoe was stolen."

Zhao Ran put his arms around Jiuru's neck and said: "Master said, this is not the first time the Meng Mansion caught fire. In the same year, there was a fire in the woodshed of the Meng Mansion, and a person was burned to death. It is said that he was a homeless man. Originally, the Meng Mansion wanted to The one who accepted the current person just left him to stay in the firewood room for one night, but he was burned to death unexpectedly."

Jiuru nodded and said: "This should be Nanny Song's man. He fell into the water at the time, but he didn't die. He ran over to find Nanny Song, but Nanny Song must have been pregnant with Mr. Meng's child at that time." Of course, she didn't want to be wronged by a homeless man, so she heartily burned him to death in the woodshed."

"Sir, Nanny Song can still understand that she burned Mrs. Meng to death, but why did Baimei burn Meng Tian to death?" Zhao Ran pretended to be puzzled.

Jiu Ru was silent for a while before saying: "It may be the same reason."

Zhao Ran made an expression of sudden realization: "It turns out that Mrs. Meng had an affair with Meng Tian."

He twisted his body and said, "I really don't understand. Some people think that fame and wealth are more important than the people they have liked. Like my husband, I feel that there is nothing more important than my husband in this world."

Jiuru raised a hand and flicked his forehead: "You just love to talk nonsense."

Zhaoran was finally able to say that he likes Jiuru himself, and he was so excited that his whole body was hot. Although Jiuru played a little, Zhaoran could hear the smile in his tone, and suddenly felt that his body was crisp and numb, and his bones were so light. Flew to the cloud nine.

The sound of horseshoes sounded on the bluestone slab, and it was heard far away in the empty and quiet street. In front of their eyes, an old horse with hair loss appeared, carrying an urn and a load on it, and in front of it was a handsome young man leading the horse.

Jiu Ru stopped in his tracks, tilted his head and said happily, "Little Tian!"

Lu Tian bent over and said, "Little Daddy."

"Father..." Jiu Ru glanced sideways at the weightless little skull on his back.

Zhaoran ran a camel in his mouth: "Sir, when I was young, my horoscope was light, and my father recognized a godson with a heavy horoscope for me. He is very good."

Jiu Ru nodded slightly, it was obvious that there were many secrets, even if he didn't want to say it clearly, he didn't ask any more details.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Ran asked.

Lu Tian said: "I killed a cow, and I was afraid of wasting the beef, so I made some food for my little dad."

"Eat! That's good, I haven't eaten all day." Zhao Ran was very happy.

The book city pays attention to gathering together to discuss Taoism, so there are so many pavilions. Lu Tian led the horse to a mountain pavilion, lit lamps around the pavilion, and then took out all the things in the urn and put them on the stone table. Paper-thin beef slices were neatly stacked on several plates under the lamp, and minced garlic and sesame sauce were in the small plates next to them.

"Xiaotian, your knife skills are pretty good." Zhao Ran said in surprise, he knew that Lu Tian was skillful and would become a famous doctor in the future, but he didn't expect that his cooking skills were also good.

"I installed a machine to cut it." Lu Tian was clearly praised, and his mood suddenly rose. He glanced at Jiu Ru next to him, but when Jiu Ru's eyes turned, he turned his head elsewhere.

"Do you want to eat beef with sauce?" Zhao Ran asked.

Lu Tiandao: "Because it's for the bald man's heart, I used wild buffalo. After all, the meat is a bit rough and not suitable for eating raw. If I want to eat raw beef, I will find some other good varieties for my dad."

Zhao Ran tilted his head, no wonder the old horse didn’t wobble, and could still carry things. It turned out that it had a new buffalo heart, and he clicked his tongue: “The other parts of the bald head are all okay?”

Lu Tian said lightly: "If you can't do it, you can change it."

The old horse tethered to the pavilion shivered inexplicably, Lu Tian slapped the mud seal on the urn, and a tangy hot aroma came to his face immediately, Lu Tian scalded the thin sliced ​​beef on the plate In Zhao Ran's bowl: "Little Daddy, try it."

The sliced ​​beef shrunk into a whitish roll, which was really tempting under the dim light. It was clearly dipped in the sauce and handed to Jiuru's mouth: "Sir, try it."

Jiu Ru took a sip and nodded, "It's really delicious."

Zhaoran's face showed that he was happier than he ate it, and he suddenly felt that it would be better to let Lu Tian study some food in the future, and those weird monsters would not do it.

They were hungry all day, Lu Tian prepared more than a dozen plates of beef slices and cleaned them all up in a short while, and finally they each drank a bowl of beef soup, which was considered full.

Seeing Lu Tian leading the old horse away, Zhao Ran was very satisfied. It was a stroke of genius to accept Lu Tian as a godson. There are probably not many godsons who are as useful as Lu Tian in the whole world.

"He is very dependent on you." Jiu Ru said.

Zhaoran ate a full belly, lying on Jiuru's back, smelling the fragrance of lavender emanating from Jiuru's body, if it weren't for this poor description, I just feel that life is nothing more than a happy life, and it doesn't matter if you don't grow up. So-called.

"Are you as dependent on Mr. as I am?" Zhao Ran shamelessly said again.

Jiu Ru just reached out and patted his head, saying: "Xian Zhao is a very confident person."

This sentence seemed to be a compliment, and Zhao Ran was very happy in his heart, but he was afraid that Jiu Ru would think that he was very confident, so he paid less attention, and hurriedly stated cautiously: "I am confident only when I have a gentleman."

"En." The night was as dark as ink, and Jiuru's voice echoed in the wind.

----

Such a big incident happened in the Meng Mansion, no matter how much it was concealed, it spread all over the city. As soon as they returned to the academy, several head teachers came to inquire about it, and when they were dismissed, Jiuru and Zhaoran fell asleep. As soon as it was dawn, the door was slammed loudly, and the guard shouted outside: "Little sage, wake up, the magistrate is anxiously looking for you outside."

Zhaoran got up from the bed, put on his trousers, and Jiuru also got up with his clothes on. The two of them washed up and hurried out of the academy, only to see the county magistrate rubbing his hands and turning around at the bottom of the steps. Jiuru said, "Little sage, Nanny Song was caught, but she was already strangled to death."

He glanced at Zhao Ran: "It seems that the Song family's ex-husband is probably not dead, he is indeed lurking in this city, but now that Song family is dead, he will definitely run away, where can we find him?"

This is the reason why he rushed to the academy to look for Jiuru before dawn. Once the city opened at dawn, the husband of the Song family would most likely be mixed in with the crowd leaving the city, and he would never be seen again. So the three cases in Shucheng But it's really going to be an unsolved case, which makes the county magistrate not in a hurry.

"Is there anything else found on the body?"

The magistrate said: "Nothing was found, just a page of paper in her palm."

"Let me take a look!" Zhao Ran said.

The county magistrate didn't dare to trust him anymore, so he had to hope that the little skeleton really had some skills.

Zhaoran took this page and unfolded it. It seemed that it was pulled out of a certain book, but he didn't know which book it was. out of the book."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone couldn't help but glance at the county magistrate. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate is a person who loves to read miscellaneous books, not only reading but also chasing new ones.

The county magistrate had a sullen face, and the head of the yamen servants next to him quickly flattered him: "My lord is really a person who loves reading."

Zhao Ran smelled the ink on the paper: "It's the shopkeeper of the bookstore."
