Reborn Lord

Lu Moning shook his head: "Chang Butou doesn't blame me for hearing this, I'm being polite."

Chang Wenbai forced a smile: "Your Excellency wandered here by chance, I can hear it."

It's just that he was arguing fiercely with his mother at that time, and he didn't want to involve Mr. Lu, so he didn't refute. If it was in the past, the quarrel would be even more fierce.

Lu Moning glanced at the wine cup in front of him, guessing that the other party probably drank in the gazebo at the beginning, and was found by Mrs. Chang.

Chang Wenbo didn't seem to have recovered from Mrs. Chang's words before, rubbed his face, his eyes were full of pain, raised his hand, poured two glasses of wine, and pushed a glass to Lu Moning: "Do you mind having a drink with me? "

Lu Mo Ning hummed, raised his eyes to Shangchang Wenbai's tangled and painful eyebrows, and said: "Using wine to drown your sorrows is even more worrying. Chang's arresting the head is not a solution."

Chang Wenbai smiled wryly: "But I can't help it... Would Mr. Lu mind listening to me rambling?"

He really can't find anyone to complain about. The brothers in the state government are no good. As a head catcher, he has to lead by example and maintain his image. What's more, no matter who he asks to tell, it's just common for men in this world to take concubines. Can……

But he didn't want to, he knew very well that if he really took a concubine, that person might not stay by his side at all.

Lu Moning watched Chang Wenbai raise his hand and drank it down, and poured another cup for him: "Tell me, if you can help, I will give you advice. If you can't help, it's better to start from the root cause of Chang Wenbai's arrest."

Chang Wenbai shook his head: "It can't be solved... Mother wants to have a grandson, but Yi'er, she can't have one at all."

"Oh? Can you tell me the reason?" Lu Mo Ning sipped half a glass of wine, and the mellow aroma of the wine entered his nose. Sure enough, he felt a chill on his wrist. He didn't know if it was a black snake that had already fallen asleep, and flicked its tail Changed back, bowed his head and sniffed the aroma of wine and stood up straight as a snake.

Lu Moning: ...

He pushed the snake back with one palm.

The black snake struggled in his palm, and at the same time, Chang Wenbai's voice came bitterly: "Yi'er, she was seriously injured for me a few years ago, and she was injured to the root, so she married for a few years and got nothing.

In fact, I knew it from the very beginning. I asked Dr. Jing. She was so injured at the time that she couldn't conceive again.But when I married her, I liked her, not at all...

In the first two years, my mother was kind to Yier because she saved me, but for some reason, the news suddenly reached my mother, she was furious and insisted on me taking a concubine, but I declined.

In the past two years, my mother would mention it every once in a while. At the beginning, because there was no suitable candidate, she was persuaded by me, but this time... I only met Miss Xu once, and I met her when she was on patrol. Shocked, I just stretched out my hand to help her, but I never thought that...she would be willing to be my concubine.

I refused in person, but my mother found out about this, so she... went to find Miss Xu herself, and then...she threatened to die, and I really couldn't do anything about it. "

Chang Wenbai propped his head up, there was no indifference and handsomeness in the daytime, and the sorrow in his eyes made him sluggish.

Lu Mo Ning grasped the key point: "What does Young Madam think?"

Chang Wenbai's body froze, and the bitterness in the corner of his mouth became more pronounced: "She doesn't care... she doesn't care..."

Chang Wenbai murmured in a low voice, eloquently speaking.

Only then did Lu Moning understand the ins and outs.This young lady used to be a slave, and was sold to Chang Mansion as a slave. A few years ago, she happened to be assigned to Chang Wenbai's side.

Chang Wenbai had a good impression of the other party at first, but the incident four years ago made him decide to keep the other party by his side.

Four years ago Chang Wenbo hunted down a murderer. After he was caught, he was revenged by the other brother. That brother actually sneaked into the Chang Mansion with the intention of assassinating Chang Wenbo. After being hit in the waist and abdomen, as Chang Wenbo said before, he would not be able to give birth.

While taking care of her, Chang Wenbai became more and more interested in the other party, so he directly expressed his intention to marry her.

"I can feel...Yi'er is already interested in me, but, but..." Chang Wenbai shook his head, raised his head, and asked Lu Mo Ning with blurred eyes: "Lord Lu, what should I do? What should I do... ..."

But before Chang Wenbai could wait for Lu Moning to answer, he fell drunk on the stone table.

Sang Pei came over at some point and asked Lu Moning for his opinion.

Lu Moning asked Sang Pei to carry Chang Wenbai, then turned around and planned to find a servant to send him back.

Just as I turned around, I saw two people walking slowly not far away. The leading woman was petite and wore a plain white dress. She walked very slowly, covering her lips with a brocade handkerchief and coughing softly from time to time. , the suppressed cough made her look weak, and a maid followed behind her, helping her from time to time, but she shook her head and declined politely.

The woman raised her eyes and saw Lu Mo Ning and his party. Her clear eyes moved, guessing Lu Mo Ning's identity, and saluted: "My lord."

The other party's voice was not as clear as that of an ordinary woman, it was a little hoarse, which was probably injured four years ago.

Lu Mo Ning didn't approach: "It's good that the young lady is here. Chang catcher is drunk, and the young lady is looking for some servants. It's inconvenient for me to go with the young lady."

The woman didn't approach either, she just stood under a pear tree and bowed gracefully: "Thank you."

After the young lady left, not long after, a few servants came, thanked Lu Mo Ning respectfully, and left with Chang Wenbai.

Lu Mo Ning turned around to go back, and after walking a few steps, he realized that Sang Pei hadn't followed.

He turned back: "Huh?"

Sang Pei was still staring at the pear tree, only to recover after hearing the words, he quickly shook his head, scratched his head and followed.

It was rare for Lu Moning to see Sang Pei like this, "What?"

It was rare for Sang Pei to speak, hesitatingly said: "The maidservant of the young lady... knows martial arts."

Lu Mo Ning laughed lightly: "Could it be that you've been thinking about this all the time? Generally, for personal protection, back houses will find one or two women with good hands and feet to be maidservants. Due to special circumstances, servants cannot follow and protect."

Sang Pei scratched the back of his head and nodded towards Lu Moning.

After Lu Moning and his party went back, Hong Guangping was still awake, knowing that he hadn't found anything, he went back regretfully.

Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Mo Ning walked out of the courtyard, he saw Chang Wenbai standing there uncomfortably. Jun blushed when he saw Lu Mo Ning: "Last night... let the adults watch the joke."

"It's okay. Did Chang catch the head wine sober?" Lu Mo Ning teased.

Chang Wenbai was no longer so uncomfortable: "I woke up. Yier last night..."

Changwen Bojun blushed a bit, as if he wanted to say something but felt embarrassed, he cupped his hands: "Thank you sir, I figured it out, and I will talk to my mother about it."

Lu Mo Ning guessed that it was probably the young lady who talked with him and gave Chang Wenbai confidence: "Let's go, I haven't been of much help, and Madam Chang has to figure it out on her own."

Lu Moning and his group went to the home of the seventh deceased according to yesterday's plan. On the way, Lu Moning asked Chang Wenbai: "What's the situation in the seventh deceased's home?"

Chang Wenbai probably had a drink with Lu Moning last night, and they became very close: "This Wang Qing is a pig butcher, and he set up a shed in front of the street to sell pork on weekdays, and he has a good relationship with the neighbors.

According to the neighbors around him, he is quite easy to get along with on weekdays, and he is also very good to his wife and children at home, but this Wang Zhushi does not come out often on weekdays, and his temper is also soft.

After Wang Qing died a few days ago, we went to the house to inquire, but Wang Zhu was so frightened that he could only cry and didn't ask anything. "

Lu Moning thought of Wang Qing's bloody half head: "Does he have any grudges with his neighbors?"

Chang Wenbai shook his head: "No, I heard that Wang Qing is quite talkative and generous. When he sees someone who is in trouble, he will give more. Neighbors praise him very much. It's a pity that such a person died like this. It's a pity. .”

Thinking of the autopsy sheets he saw, Lu Mo Ning thought thoughtfully: "Let's go and have a look first."

When they arrived at Wang Qing's house, it was a dilapidated small courtyard, very close to Wang Qing's pork stall, and they could almost see the courtyard from standing in front of the pork stall.

Chang Wenbai saw Lu Mo Ning's expression was different: "My lord, but is there something wrong with this pork stall?"

Lu Mo Ning shook his head. Looking from the shelf set up by the pork stall, there was an old hole. The shelf had been moved. Obviously, after the move, he could see the courtyard door better.

Lu Mo Ning suddenly had a strange feeling.

When they arrived in front of Wang Qing's house, Chang Wenbai took someone to knock on the door. Not long after, Wang Zhu came to open the door with a pale face. Xiao, her voice was trembling: "You, you... you still, you still come... do, what do you do?"

The yamen guard behind Chang Wenbai directly pushed open the door that was only a crack open: "Your husband's case has not been investigated yet, what do you think we are here for? Open the door quickly and make a routine inquiry!"

That Wang Zhushi seemed to be frightened, and his eyes turned red: "He's dead...we don't want the body anymore, no, don't ask again..."

After all, she was going to close the door forcibly, but she was weak, how could she stop the tall and burly yamen servant, and the door was opened with a bang: "If you say no, then don't? He is your husband, you like me , could it be that you killed him?"

The yamen servant deliberately frightened Wang Zhushi, and Wang Zhushi was really frightened, and shrank by the door, not daring to say anything.

Not long after, a thin and small child staggered into Wang Zhushi's arms, and was hugged tightly by Wang Zhushi. The mother and child looked at the group of people in fear, and the child trembled with fright. .

Lu Mo Ning didn't say a word, his eyes swept over the reactions of the mother and son, and then he looked into the door, his pupils narrowed, and he stepped up to block the clerk's continued movement: "Okay, let's go in and talk."

The yamen servant immediately said respectfully: "Lord Lu is right."

A group of people entered the courtyard, Lu Mo Ning looked around, Wang Zhu's mother and son followed behind timidly, far away, the child was about four or five years old, trembling all over, hugging Wang Zhu's The legs never looked up.

Lu Mo Ning stood still in front of the main room, and suddenly turned around to look at Wang Zhushi with sharp eyes: "Wang Zhushi, Wang Qing is dead, why don't you wear white silk?"

Lu Mo Ning suddenly made such a sound, which made Wang Zhushi's face change in fright, and the child holding her leg cried "Wow", but the voice was as thin as a kitten's meowing, which sounded very pitiful , muttering something "don't" "don't"...

Wang Zhushi quickly squatted down, hugged the thin child in his arms, and kept comforting him.

Lu Moning sighed, knowing that most of the calculations in his heart had been verified, he walked over, squatted down, softened his brows and eyes, touched the child's head and thin neck, and comforted him one after another: "It's okay, brother Those who just joked with you will not hit you."

Probably Lu Moning's gentle voice played a role, the child actually stopped crying, secretly raised his eyes and took a quick look at Lu Moning, probably seeing Lu Moning's good looks, sobbed softly, shaking his shoulders Said: "Really, really...don't fight?"

His voice was also thin and thin, and his body was so thin that only bones remained, obviously malnourished.

Lu Mo Ning hummed, and stretched out his hand to hug the thin child.

The child hesitated for a moment, and looked at Lu Mourning's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which were soaked in tears and were extraordinarily clear: "Brother, you are so good-looking..."

Wang Zhushi was still watching nervously, but he was relieved when he saw that the child stopped crying, but when he saw Lu Mo Ning, he was very nervous: "Hu, Hu Zi, come down soon..."

But Lu Mo Ning looked at Wang Zhushi: "Come in with me, I don't mean to blame you, if you don't hang up the white silk, you won't hang up."

Lu Mo Ning's strange reaction made Chang Wenbai's servants extremely puzzled, but when they heard the other party mentioned the white silk, they turned their heads to look, and found that there was no white silk hanging in the yard, and there was nothing.

Generally, when someone died in the family, not to mention the mourning hall, at least there must be a white silk, but this Wang Zhu's is strange, he didn't hang anything.

Could it be... Your lord has seen that this Wang Zhu family is tricky?

Could it be... this Wang Qing was killed by this Wang Zhu family?

But it's not right, this Wang Qing was killed several lanes away from here, and Wang Qing's body, can this woman do it?

What exactly is going on?

The tiger probably felt that Lu Mo Ning was not hostile to him, so he hugged Lu Mo Ning's neck obediently and was carried in by him. Wang Zhushi had no choice but to follow in small steps with his head down. When he got close, he wanted to Approaching but not daring: "Big, my lord..."

Lu Mo Ning pointed to the side: "Sit down, I have something to talk to you."

Where did Wang Zhushi dare to say: "No, no need... civilian women..."

Lu Moning's next sentence directly frightened Wang Zhushi, not only her, but also Chang Wenbai and others who had just stepped in were dumbfounded.

Lu Mo Ning said: "This Wang Qing...isn't your husband?"

Wang Zhushi was hesitating whether to step forward to hug the tiger, but when he heard this sentence, his face changed drastically and he raised his head suddenly, his eyes showed horror, and then he took two steps back, kneeling on the ground as soon as his legs softened. On the ground, trembling all over.

Seeing her like this, the tiger grinned in fright and began to cry.

Lu Moning hugged the tiger, patted his back to stop crying, and looked at Wang Zhushi helplessly: "What are you afraid of, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, who is this fake Wang Qing?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhushi cried even harder.

Chang Wenbai and several yamen servants were stupefied, Chang Wenbo said: "Master Lu, how...how did you know? This Wang Qing is not Wang Qing, and who is he?"

Lu Mo Ning said: "The reason why I doubt it is because of three reasons."

Several people stared at Lu Mourning in unison, waiting for him to continue: "What, why?"

Lu Mo Ning said: "One thing is the pork stall outside. The original shelf was not there, but was lifted up and buried deep, and the rebuilt position just happened to be able to see the whole small courtyard. It's really strange. .”

Chang Wenbai: "It may also be... that Wang Qing is worried about his mother-in-law, that's why..."

Lu Mo Ning said: "If you only look at this one item, it is true, and secondly, Catcher Chang said earlier that Wang Qing has a very good relationship with his neighbors, and he even takes care of the neighbors who are in trouble, but he doesn't I don’t care about my wife and children, especially my son, not to mention being thin and malnourished, both of them are not allowed to go out, is this normal? I’m afraid they are not allowed to go out to buy vegetables on weekdays, right?”

Chang Wenbai and the others quickly looked at Wang Zhushi and Huzi. They didn't think it before, but now they look at it, it's really weird.

It is said that Wang Qing is a very good person, but why is he mean to his child?

And this Wang Zhushi, speaking of it, it is true that she has never heard of her going out, just because Wang Qing said that she is not in good health, but now looking at this Wang Zhushi, although she is timid, she looks quite healthy of.

As for the third point, they didn't need Lu Moning to say it, they guessed it. The third point is that Wang Qing died. Not only did his mother-in-law not set up a mourning hall, she didn't even hang a white silk. She didn't wear white flowers on her head, as if... no one died at home.

Chang Wenbai and the others gasped, looked at Wang Zhushi, and saw that the other party was crying tremblingly, and suddenly kowtowed to Lu Moning: "My lord...please make decisions for the women...make decisions for the dead husband!"

The other party's words confirmed Lu Moning's guess, and made Chang Wenbai and the others gasp: "..." My lord, this is amazing!

He didn't come here for a stick of incense, but it was worth their coming several times.

After Wang Qing's death, they came here no less than seven or eight times, but they didn't see anything.When Chang Wenbai and the others followed Lu Moning out of the deceased's house, they all looked dazed.

Lu Mo Ning guessed correctly, the deceased was indeed not Wang Qing, but a thief.

Wang Zhu's exact identity is not clear, only know that their family moved here a few years ago, just a few days ago, did not expect that the pork stall has not been set up yet, one night there was a thief at home, the butcher Wang Qing fought with the thief , was killed directly.

The thief originally wanted to kill Wang Zhushi and Huzi, but seeing that Wang Zhushi was good-looking, he thought of replacing them.

It just so happened that Wang Qing's family had just arrived in Zhoucheng, and the neighbors were not familiar with them. After the thief shaved his beard, he took the identity of the real Wang Qing and got away with it.

In order to prevent Wang Zhushi from leaking out, he tied Wang Zhushi and Huzi at home during the day. The pork shop was bought by a butcher from the previous family, and it was built not far away. He simply moved the place, just in time. To see the whole courtyard, in order to be able to just see the whole small courtyard, to monitor Wang Zhushi.

As for Huzi, since he wasn't his child, he naturally didn't care. After seeing no one for a few years, Wang Zhushi and Huzi naturally developed a fear of people.

Wang Zhushi was afraid of pretending to be Wang Qing, and hated him too. He was killed, and it was too late for her to be happy, so how could she wear mourning for him?

Under the leadership of Wang Zhushi, the remaining yamen servants dug up a corpse in the yard.

The drastic changes in this case caused several yamen servants to carry the eighth corpse in a dazed manner until they arrived at the state yamen. Chang Wenbo finally came to his senses, and quickly walked a few steps to ask Lu Moning: "My lord, this... What's going on here? How do you know that this fake Wang Qing is a wanted criminal?"

When he came back, Lu Mo Ning directly asked him to investigate the habitual offenders he had hunted down in the past few years, he was really puzzled.

Lu Mo Ning turned around, entered the autopsy room, took out seven autopsy sheets, clicked on them, and looked at Chang Wenbai: "Look at the identities of the seven dead... can you see anything?"
