Hu Maoxi said with a sullen face: "Sun Wucai, what is going on? Please tell me honestly."
Sun Xian Cheng's grievance was mixed with resentment, and his resentment was mixed with some fear.
But at this time, it is too late to blame others and shirk responsibility.
After all, it was the two maids who saw him kicking the door. He couldn't deny it, so he simply answered bravely and truthfully:
"This matter was indeed done by the lower official. The lower official kicked the lintel of the Taigong's house and is willing to be punished."
Well played!
Hu Maoxi almost spoke his mind.
I wanted to praise the old guy, but looking at the angry faces, he immediately lowered his face and cursed painfully:
"You damn old thing, I asked you to accompany Mrs. Chu to investigate the case. Why are you kicking someone's door? Are you deliberately embarrassing me?"
Prime Minister Sun Xian was at a loss for words and became submissive again. The glorious image of the majestic and glorious figure just now was suddenly gone.
Chu Nanzhi didn't want Prime Minister Sun to be scolded again, so he said bluntly to everyone:
"Magistrate Hu does not need to embarrass the county magistrate. It was the citizen woman who instigated the county magistrate to kick down the door."
"What?"
Zhao Taigong's face became even more embarrassed, and he scolded with a livid face: "Ms. Chu, I have no enmity against you, why would you come to harm me?"
"Grandpa is joking."
Chu Nanzhi took Si Bao's little hand and said calmly:
"Since the civilian woman has been entrusted by Magistrate Hu to investigate this case for him, she must do her best and give an explanation to the Lord and the grandpa."
"So you ordered Prime Minister Sun to kick down the door of my courtyard?"
Mr. Zhao had an old face.
"Indeed, this move is inappropriate."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, and then immediately kept her serious appearance:
"But if we hadn't kicked open the door forcefully today, I'm afraid the secrets buried in this courtyard would have never seen the light of day."
"You evil woman, what are you talking about? What secrets can there be in my grandmother's yard?"
Zhao Erlang looked at each other angrily.
Mrs. Yu cried like pear blossoms with rain, which made her even more sad:
"Master, the slave family doesn't want to see this woman again. Please ask her out quickly. She destroyed the yard and disturbed the mother's heroic spirit. If mother knows about it, she must blame the slave family for being disrespectful to her."
She spoke in such a serious tone that Mr. Zhao gradually clenched his fists, bit his lips together, and immediately became furious.
Hu Maoxi crept to the side, trembling all over.
Sun Xiancheng rubbed his hands tightly and unconsciously brought them to his chest.
Zhao Taigong had a sullen face and waved his hand, and several nursing staff gathered around him.
"slow."
Chu Nanzhi immediately protected the four treasures and shouted loudly.
Zhao Taigong was silent and walked straight forward with the help of the guardian.
"Now that things have happened, do you still want to simply believe that your son is just missing?"
Chu Nanzhi doubled his volume and roared loudly, shocking the surrounding guards to their feet.
Zhao Taigong had no expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he calmly waved his hand behind him.
The nurses had no choice but to retreat.
Hu Maoxi felt the wind at his feet and immediately walked to Chu Nanzhi's side.
Sun Xian Cheng slowly put down his hands and followed secretly.
When Chu Nanzhi saw that the crisis had subsided, he calmly asked, "Do you think there is anything weird in this courtyard, Grandpa?"
After a pause, she quickly added a reminder: "Smell."
Everyone smelled it carefully.
Hu Maoxi answered first: "The smell of acetic acid seems to be mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction.
"so what?"
Zhao Taigong took a crutch made of pure gold from his servants and leaned on it with both hands: "A few days ago, I was worried that there was dirt in the mother's house, so I asked my servants to buy some bamboo vinegar to prevent insects and eliminate odor.
"
“Yes, it’s true that bamboo vinegar repels insects.”
Chu Nanzhi smiled and reminded: "But didn't Grandpa just say that bamboo vinegar can also remove odors."
Zhao Taigong frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Everyone was also a little confused.
"A common woman heard from a servant that the person who came to clean the courtyard this time is the master's wife. Is this correct?"
Mrs. Yu stopped sobbing, hid her face and nodded tenderly, and then held Taigong Zhao tightly with both hands.
"But the housewife also heard that servants have come to clean this courtyard since the old lady passed away. Why is it that this time not only did the lady come in person, but also went to great lengths to spread bamboo vinegar all over the courtyard?"
Chu Nanzhi thought this move was outrageous and sneered indifferently:
"Not to mention that the whole house has been busy searching for the missing husband these days. As the head mother of the house, you don't focus on finding the young man. Instead, you have the leisure to care about whether there is any dirt in the deceased's yard.
, I’m afraid this is a little too deliberate.”
Hu Maoxi felt that this was justified, and immediately complained dissatisfiedly:
"Don't be surprised, Grandpa. You asked your subordinates to go to great lengths to find the missing person. You even asked me to dispatch three squads of government officials and even the entire county. The entire Luyan Port was turned upside down to search for the person. Yet you and your wife actually spent all your time on the same thing.
In an abandoned yard, this seems a bit unreasonable."
After a pause, he felt that his summary was not comprehensive enough, so he immediately added in a humble tone:
"Even if I miss my late mother, when can I clean up the yard? Why should I do it at such a critical moment? It will inevitably arouse people's suspicion."
Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous little thing would cause so many doubts. Zhao Taigong also frowned a little unreasonably: "My wife is not deeply involved in the world, so I didn't think about things properly. Brother Hu, don't blame me."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Yu felt greatly wronged and cried again:
"My lord, don't listen to these people talking nonsense here. They started talking nonsense when they couldn't find Yan'er. The mother's courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time. A few days ago, a servant reported that there were insects and rats in the courtyard.
, The slave family has been unable to get away from taking care of family affairs. Yan'er disappeared a few days ago, and the slave family has been restless all day long, so they thought of doing something for the mother and the master to make their hearts more stable."
Hearing this, Taigong Zhao stretched out his age-spotted hands with pity to brush away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her with a gentle words:
"Don't be afraid. With your husband here, they won't dare to embarrass you."
Seeing the loving appearance of the old man and his young wife, Chu Nanzhi turned her eyes towards the dry well unconsciously.
I don't know how the old man should feel after he found the body.
The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.
She laughed deliberately and coldly: "Even if I can cover up the stench in the hospital and seek some superficial peace, I'm afraid the stench in my heart will never be removed. There is a shameful secret hidden in this hospital. Could it be that
Can Madam Yu sleep peacefully every night? Are you not afraid of being killed?"
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was so frightened that she hid in Zhao Taigong's arms and cursed:
"You evil woman, stop talking nonsense and pretending to be a ghost."
Zhao Erlang was also very angry. He pointed at Chu Nanzhi and shouted angrily:
"My surname is Chu, I think you are a womanizer, and I don't want to argue with you. But since you came to this courtyard, you have repeatedly made trouble, destroyed my grandmother's courtyard, and instigated my brother Yan to be murdered. He will not survive."
There is no body left after death, if you grab and bite without any basis and no basis, and if you continue to pester me, I will not be polite to you."
"Okay, if you want to see the corpse, I will let you see with your own eyes today whether there is any corpse hidden in this courtyard."
Chu Nanzhi's eyes gradually showed a frightening look of anger.
I want to tell you a story. When I woke up early this morning, there was so much ice outside, I was shivering from the cold...
Then there was no more. I went to sell matches first. I can’t turn on the air conditioning and heating at home. If you have any recommendation tickets, you can lend me a few and I will burn them for warmth. If you want matches, you can leave a message. I will give them to you if I can come back alive.
