In the early morning, the cries of peddlers woke up the town, the sedan chair swayed along the Qingshi Road, and the sedan chair curtain embroidered with peonies gently lifted a corner with the shaking, the morning light outside came in, and a corner of the stone bridge also fell into the sky. in the eyes.

"This bridge is still the same."

Whisper softly.

"Isn't it the same as before? When I came here, I also walked on this bridge."

Beside the sedan chair, the nanny who was walking along said this, with some inexplicable emotion in her voice.

"Ah."

The voice of the people in the sedan chair was clear and shallow, like a breath.

The threshold of the Wang family mansion is high, the sedan chair does not go through the front door, but is carried directly into the house from the side door, and after entering the second door, the bearer of the sedan chair is replaced by a strong servant woman, and the sedan chair is put down after another door, accompanied by the maid Mama took two quick steps, raised the car curtain, and let a lady in Su Yi walk out calmly.

"Ma'am, Mr. Li is here again."

The servant girl's reply revealed a slight joy that could not be detected.

Mrs. Su Yi frowned slightly: "It's Guang'er's good friend, it's really..."

I didn't say the following words, if I did, it would be too rude.

As the mistress of the house, now that the master is gone, visitors must come to see her, not to mention that Mr. Li is her son's friend, so he is naturally a generation younger. It is also a courtesy to come to a friend's house as a guest and to meet a friend's elders.

Mrs. Wang is no longer at such a delicate and beautiful age. If the master hadn't passed away suddenly, I'm afraid she would have a grandson this year. At this age, she is not afraid to meet strange men, let alone young and good-looking men, but she doesn't want to see them .

The other party's probing eyes are always unpleasant, as if everything hidden inside cannot be hidden from his eyes.

In particular, Mr. Li was very interested in the case of the murder of the master a year ago. He mentioned that he wanted to check the location of the crime at the first visit, and asked about the whereabouts of the gardener and where he invited him. For that matter, he even asked about the concubine's background, she seemed to be a policeman among the public, which was really annoying.

"I'm tired today, so I'm gone. Let them go and have fun."

Mrs. Wang said so, and walked back with the nanny.

Without her consent, Mr. Li could not enter the backyard, but only talked with Wang Guang in the front yard.

Master Wang had three sons in total, the eldest son was born to a concubine, who was doted on by the old lady in the early years, and then died of an emergency. The second son was Wang Guang, who was born in the royal family. There was a third son who was born in a rush, born of the concubine at the time, who suppressed the limelight of his legitimate son.

The worst thing was the restlessness in the back house. At that time, the means of the courtroom during pregnancy were a little poor, and they didn't guard against it. They were plotted by the concubine. After Wang Guang was born, he was weak and sick. With such rumors, even the old lady doesn't like this grandson very much, but prefers the lively and strong third grandson.

The old lady has only one son, Master Wang, who was raised by her mother-in-law in the early years. She also adopts the method of adopting the grandson she loves, but the eldest son is sick. She is afraid of getting troubled, so she doesn't touch her hands. To raise it in front of you adds dignity.

And her way of raising people is really not very good, a concubine was raised pampered and domineering by her, and she even secretly changed the medicine of the concubine, which made Wang Guangda fall ill and almost died.

Afterwards, the wife in the main room went crazy, and the people who sent the old lady away sent someone to push the bastard into the lotus pond, and pressed his head with a bamboo pole to prevent him from floating up, and drowned him in the water.

This incident pissed the old lady to death. It was a big commotion at the time, and the old servants of the Wang family heard about it. Some people still secretly say that the old lady was actually scared to death at the time. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't deal with each other, and there is nothing else. They are a bit naive in their behavior and actions. How could they think that it could be like this, and they were scared to death at the moment.

Later, Mr. Wang was half for his son and half for his mother, and he didn't deal with his wife, and his wife also knew that she was wrong, so she invited her into the Buddhist hall and guarded her son with peace of mind.

The matters of the inner house are still in charge, but it does not restrict Mr. Wang from accepting concubines to welcome the beauty. The husband and wife are just like strangers, and they don't see each other every day.

Not to mention those concubines before Mr. Wang, the beautiful concubine who is said to have killed him and then committed suicide by throwing herself into the water was actually a villager girl who had a certain beauty and refused to accept others easily. He took the initiative to come to ask to be a concubine, and the two became a couple on the day they met, and then went home with Master Wang.

Such a beauty who is greedy for wealth and honor, why can't she dream of killing the big tree she leans on?

"I looked in the garden the day before yesterday, but I didn't see any expensive flowers and trees. Could it be that the gardener hired at a high price didn't show his skills in the mansion?"

Mr. Li came to the window, looked at the flower branches in the vase, touched the delicate petals lightly, and asked casually.

"Ahem, I don't know about that." Wang Guang's face was sallow, and it was a standard sick look without looking closely. Nowadays, most of the family affairs are entrusted to his mother, and he doesn't take much care of them. He is really in poor health. , Energy is also limited.

He half leaned on the pillow, and said slowly: "Brother Li also knows that I have never loved those flowers and plants, and I seldom set foot in the garden, not to mention that the place is close to the backyard, so it would be embarrassing to meet my concubine."

Although Wang Guang is in poor health, he grew up serious in his studies, and he has a gentleman's attitude in his speech. If he is in good health, he may have the opportunity to become famous outside.

During the period of Mr. Li's relationship with him, he found that this person still has some talent, but it is a pity that he was delayed by his illness, and the books he dabbled in did not have a deep eye, which is really a pity.

"It is."

I agreed with the sentence, and seemed to be quite impressed. Who doesn't have a concubine?If that kind of concubine who is younger than me loves to talk and laugh, she really doesn't know what to do.

Young Master Li then asked Wang Guang what his impression was of that beautiful concubine.

"This... I have only seen two sides, and I don't know the specifics."

Wang Guang has a gentleman's attitude, and it is not easy to discuss the meaning of the dead.

Seeing Mr. Li, he was still curious, and said helplessly: "It's been a year, and I don't know much about the details, so how can I tell you in detail? I know you are interested in this case, and I always feel that there are many things in it. There is room for deliberation, but this case involves my father, as a son of man, there is always something unspeakable."

These words are frank so far, Mr. Li is not good to continue.

Soon, the servant girl came to convey Mrs. Wang's words. Upon hearing this, Mr. Li touched his nose and said, "It seems that I have become a villain."

After talking again, Mr. Li didn't stay any longer, he took his leave and left.

After leaving the gate of Wang's house, Mr. Li asked the servants beside him: "Fugui, who do you think is the real murderer of Mrs. Wang or Wang Guang?"

Fugui'er was stunned, and Yuan's face was full of doubts, "What did you say?"

"Why is it just the two of them? Didn't it mean that the beautiful concubine had an affair with the gardener?"

"Crack", got hit on the head, ouch, Fu Gui'er, who was covering his head, saw Mr. Li shook his head and said, "You can't carve rotten wood, you're just checking those things with me."

I knew about this case, read the case information, heard some news from Wang Guang, and inquired about the identities of the concubine and the gardener. Among them, the concubine was indeed there, but the gardener was nowhere to be seen. It is impossible for a hundred taels of gardener not to be famous, but there is no way to inquire about it, so it is very doubtful whether this person really exists.

Furthermore, Mrs. Wang was the one in charge, which meant that it was impossible for her not to know about the money for the gardener, so she agreed?

Even if the relationship between her and Master Wang is already as respectful as ice, it is not possible to agree with her so much.

Mr. Li always felt that Mrs. Wang's reaction was wrong. Think about it, this family, the money in this family should have belonged to her son, and Mr. Wang only had such a son. The defeat of Mr. Wang was not only The money he earned, to Mrs. Wang, is also the money left to her son. She can be generous with love, but she shouldn't be so generous with money.

Just looking at the rules of the servants in the house, you can know that Mrs. Wang is still a very good housekeeper, not to mention that after the death of Master Wang, the other party directly took over the shop outside, and no one objected. Any cut in revenue is pretty dramatic in itself.

Mr. Li was raised by a widowed mother. He never underestimated women, and it was easier to notice some of the difficulties.

Such Mrs. Wang, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is courageous and scheming. Then, does she have the courage to kill Master Wang and keep the family property given to her son?

Judging from her previous example of drowning the concubine, this is not impossible.

As for Wang Guang's motive for killing, the reason can be the same as above. Faced with a master Wang who keeps marrying beautiful concubines and wants to have another son, does he feel that his position as heir is threatened?What's more, if there is another ignorant younger brother who wants to change his medicine, it will not only be a threat to property, but also a threat to life.

Mr. Li has been able to see these days that Wang Guang is a person who really wants to live and has an extreme desire for health, so...

The most important thing now is that the concubine's body has not been found, so many things are difficult to come to a conclusion. Mr. Li has gone around the Wang's house more than once, and he has not found any suspicious hiding places. He is more inclined to It wasn't the beautiful concubine who threw herself into the river, but someone else pretending to be better at water, so she jumped into the water and walked away without being noticed.

After Mr. Li left, Wang Guang also came out and walked in the garden. There used to be a lotus pond here, but it was filled in later, and plum trees were planted, and it became a small plum forest. At this time, there were no plum blossoms. During the opening season, there is not much scenery to see, but Wang Guang walked slowly among them, passed through the plum trees, and found the one that was different. He knew what was buried under this plum tree. The body of the younger brother who was supposed to be buried in the cemetery, the concubine who claimed to be pregnant a year ago, and the nameless beggar who was invited to pretend to be a gardener to make money.

Repeatedly stomping on the ground made the already solid ground even stronger. If Wang Guang thought of something in his mind, he would come over and stomp on it, making the ground even firmer and firmly suppressing those restless people. .

He wants to live, that's all.

Many years ago, the despair of drowning made him understand that in this family, except for his mother, no one is a relative, so he can only rely on himself.

It sounds unbelievable for a weak body to learn to swim, but he insisted on learning. It was also that year that he dived into the water and held his brother's feet tightly. Didn't he want him to die?Then see who dies first.

As it turned out, he won, and he was the one who survived, and only him.

He grinned silently, walked out, the sun fell on his face, the warm feeling couldn't dispel the chill in his body, but Wang Guang was very happy, how wonderful it is to be alive!
