Nongmen Shenjue

After breakfast, a group of people came to Luo's house, and there were already many people watching and discussing.

The Luo family mansion is on the other side of the stream, and there is a flat stone bridge in the middle. People were somewhat concerned, and did not go to the gate of the Luo family to watch across the stone bridge, or to express a few words of sincere emotion, or mutter conspiracy theories.Of course, more people are interested in the guests who came to Luo's house to express their condolences.

It happened suddenly, no matter when Mrs. Luo died, the Luo family must have discovered it at dawn.Because the old couple who had a breakfast stall on the side of the stream heard a suspicious scream. Although it was a little far away, it was very quiet in the early morning. Without any interference, the sound could be transmitted very far.

It was not until half an hour ago that white lanterns were hung on the gate of the Luo family.

Today's custom is to pay attention to rich burials, and funerals must not be sloppy, especially because the Luo family is so rich, there are more complicated things inside.When decorating the mourning hall, the master and servants of the family should wear sackcloth and filial piety, and so on. Everything must be considered.Fortunately, Luo's family originally opened a dyeing workshop, and they had all kinds of white linen. After making arrangements for various matters, they had to send people to report funerals to relatives and friends everywhere, and they also bought paper horses and white candles and other necessities.

The length of post-mortem rest varies, and is also affected by the cause of death and the weather.

According to Luo Jiatou's news, it was a seven-day burial.

At this time, a few young people came out from the gate, each wearing silk, followed by a young servant, although they lacked a bit of temperament, but just looking at the clothes, they were undoubtedly young masters.These few people are the descendants of the Luo family, Luo Yihai has no real brothers, these few are cousins.

Behind these people, there is a thin young man who is obviously different.

His difference is not in the appearance of his clothes, but in his demeanor.He always lowered his head halfway, glanced quickly and lowered his eyes when looking at people, never reached the equal position of those few people, but always followed behind, silently, like a shadow.

"Who is that person?" Mu Qingyan asked the aunt beside him.

The aunt glanced at him and sighed in a low voice: "That man is Wu Hua, a cousin of Mrs. Luo's family. He heard that his father and mother are gone, and the family really can't get rid of the pot, so he came to Mrs. Luo. Mrs. Luo didn't care What's more, Luo's surname is the head of the family. Don't these Luo family children just bully him? Alas, it's also pitiful. He's only fifteen, and he hasn't married yet, and Mrs. Luo is gone. In the future, I'm afraid there will be even more hope. gone."

Mrs. Luo's cousin?

A breakthrough!

These fake young masters either rode horses or rode cars, and they didn't come out this time for fun, but got errands from the housekeeper.There are a lot of things needed for a funeral, and the purchase rights are exciting.A few of them put it nicely as "Young Master Luo", but even if they are in charge of the Luo family, they have status.

They defected to the Luo family just to please the Luo family and get some benefits.

Anyone who has worked in a big family knows that shopping is a lucrative job.The manager of the Luo family, Bai Sanye and others looked down on such small profits, and were happy to sell them for a good deal.

Several descendants of the Luo family exchanged glances and laughed strangely in places where Wu Hua could not see.

"These boys have no good intentions." Chen Shiliu was very familiar with this scene. The children from each family in Beijing were actually divided, and they were prone to fight when encountering some problems.

"Come and have a look."

The few people in front left the town together, and stopped not far from the gourd mouth.The children surnamed Luo all rode horses, and Wu Hua was the only one in the carriage, but now they were surrounded, and the leader was shouting at the carriage, telling Wu Hua to get out.

Wu Hua shrank back and didn't move at first, but he couldn't resist all kinds of threats, so he just obeyed timidly.

He climbed out of the carriage and looked at the people around him beggingly: "I, I'm going to inform Cousin Luo Qi, it won't be good if it's late, late."

"Use Roach to suppress us?" For Roach who has not been at home, these people are really not too scared.What's more, from their point of view, the relationship between Luo's father and son is not good, and Luo Qi is a docile temper. Even if something happens, just admit the mistake with a few words of flattery and then expose it. After all, they are both named Luo, and they are cousins!

"I haven't settled the matter with you last time. Now that the old woman is dead, I see who else will protect you!" As soon as the vicious voice fell, several people surrounded Wu Hua and punched Wu Hua.

Wu Hua screamed in horror.

"Stop!" Gao Tian stepped forward at Mu Qingyan's signal.

"Who are you? We are the Luo family, don't meddle in other people's business!" The other party was arrogant.

Gao Tian didn't answer, but stepped forward and kicked those people to the ground one by one: "Get lost! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

"You!" The tightness in the chest reminded them that it was not a dream, but someone ignored the Luo family's reputation and started doing it.After all, they are just little dudes who bully others, and they will be afraid of cruel people once they encounter them.At the moment, the few people didn't even dare to say harsh words, they got up and ran away on horseback.

Wu Hua hurriedly thanked Gao Tian constantly.

"You're welcome, we have something to ask you." Chen Shiliu jumped out first, his eagerness startled Wu Hua, who was already timid.

Wu Hua looked at Mu Qingyan and the strangers, leaning against the carriage anxiously.

"Brother Mu, are you coming?" Although Chen Shiliu was eager to try, he decided to take a step back and observe from the side.

Although I don't know what the real secret of Mu Qingyan's investigation is, but I learned a lot from it.

Mu Qingyan looked at Wu Hua and observed every trace of his expression. His slightly red eyes were obviously from crying.It can be seen that unlike the others, Mrs. Luo's death made him really sad. Whether it was out of feelings or interests, he was the one who suffered the loss.

"You are Mrs. Luo's cousin, do you have a good relationship?" Mu Qingyan's opening remarks surprised the other party.

"Okay. My aunt is very good to me." Wu Hua said in a low voice.

"Is she in poor health? I mean, is she really relapsed?" This question is more direct, as if directly saying that Mrs. Luo's death was a conspiracy.

Wu Hua actually trembled and was very scared. He looked at the few people with more vigilance: "You, who are you? I, I don't know anything. I still have to go to the county town, and I'm going to find my cousin. What about my aunt? I don't know yet..."

Wu Hua panicked, he was afraid, trying to escape.

This suggests that he does know something unusual.

He really doesn't know how to hide it.

"We are members of the God Detective Department." No one expected that Mu Qingyan suddenly disguised his identity, and his expression was very natural and familiar, as if he had planned it long ago.

Chen Shiliu stared at him in horror.

Pretending to be a god catcher...

The corners of Wen Jixue's mouth curled up, thinking it was quite funny.

Wu Hua was surprised for a moment. He looked at Gao Tian and was skeptical: "You are really good catchers? But why..."

Mu Qingyan ignored Chen Shiliu's exaggerated expression, and said in a calm tone: "We came to Taoyuan Town after a pair of desperate mandarin ducks. Those men and women were greedy and vicious, and they chose big families in small places to kill them. , will kill people, and all those who hinder them will be eradicated. That woman likes to wear white clothes, her name is Bai Xin, and she is used to bewitching people with her beauty, while the other is like a shadow, secretly eradicating all threats."

Wu Hua opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed, startled and frightened: "Yes, it's her! Aunt Bai! It's Aunt Bai! Auntie is right, she is a bad woman, she will harm the entire Luo family!"

"Calm down, and answer my question." Mu Qingyan's voice was always calm, his eyes were calm, and his unhurried attitude eased Wu Hua's tension very well.Seeing that his expression had improved, Mu Qingyan asked: "Your aunt, will she die from a relapse?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Wu Hua shook his head, his tone was very certain: "My aunt has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name. Although she is weaker, she is not seriously ill. In fact, cousin Luo Qi didn't come home because it was my aunt who didn't let him come back. My aunt also asked me to leave Taoyuan Town, saying that she would give me a sum of money to go back to my hometown to start a small business, but... I can’t worry about my aunt, and my cousin Luo Qi also entrusted me to take care of my aunt, if I leave..."

Wu Hua didn't know many things in detail. He only had scales and claws, pieced together, and vaguely felt the danger.His already timid personality made him dare not take the initiative to explore, and the gratitude and sense of responsibility in his heart made him unable to just walk away.

This is a kind of ambivalence, but as long as he cares about Mrs. Luo, he will definitely notice something subconsciously.

"Last night, my aunt left Luo's house and went to the back mountain through the back door."

"She went to the back mountain?!"

Wu Hua shook his head and nodded: "I had dinner with my aunt last night. My aunt seemed to be in a good mood and told me a lot about cousin Luo Qi's past. Parents, they are talking about things before the Luo family got rich. I don’t know why, I can’t sleep at night, and my aunt’s expression always appears in front of my eyes. I want to go and see. I don’t know what to see, I It's impossible to go to my aunt in the middle of the night, but...

When I came to the gate of my aunt's courtyard, I saw my aunt coming out from the inside, without anyone around, opened the back door of the house alone, and walked towards the back mountain.

I should have stopped her, or I should have followed, but I was afraid.No one was allowed to go to the back mountain. My uncle said that Master Tan liked to hunt and set many traps in the back mountain.Luo Ming and the others didn't believe it at first, but they almost stepped on the animal trap and broke their legs, so no one went there.My aunt also warned me privately that I must never go there, I will die.

I was too scared, so I went to my uncle. "

Mu Qingyan frowned slightly: "You can stop her, why didn't you make a sound?"

After all, Wu Hua cares about Mrs. Luo, how can he ignore her and enter the dangerous back mountain?Turning back to find Luo Yihai, back and forth, any accident may happen.Wu Hua is timid, but he is not stupid.

"I wanted to call her." Wu Hua said and began to cry: "At first I saw my aunt coming out at night, I was too surprised and didn't dare to speak out. When I found out that she was going to the back mountain, she was already far away. I I dare not step into the back mountain rashly, and if I want to shout, I am afraid of waking up other people... I am afraid that someone will harm my aunt, so, that's why I went to find my uncle."

Wu Hua was worried about Aunt Bai.

From his observation and feelings at Luo's house, to Mrs. Luo's reminder to him, it all shows that Aunt Bai is a weird and dangerous woman.He was afraid that when he shouted, it would not be Luo Yihai who came first, but Aunt Bai, which would harm Mrs. Luo instead.

"So, you know that Aunt Bai often goes to the back mountain?" Mu Qingyan easily came to this conclusion.

Wu Hua nodded with a sob.

"and after?"
