Chapter 52 Toothache
In the inner room of Changshou Hall, Mrs. Gui finally took a short rest after dealing with the younger generations who came to visit her.
She didn't see Wen Yan.
In the morning, she was still talking and talking, which inspired her to stop pretending to be stupid and did not show up in the afternoon.
Cao said that Wen Yan went out.
She wanted to hide it for Wen Yan, and she would never say "Sister Yan climbed over the wall" in front of the old lady, and only picked up what she could say.
These days, I often go out. In order to catch the murderer, Sister Yan helped the master a lot. She went to the yamen several times and went to Shunping Bo Mansion. The inspector went to witness...
Mrs. Gui prepared a lot of plays to argue with Wen Yan, but if Wen Yan didn't come, she had to give up for the time being.
Cao could not tell where Wen Yan was going, but Mrs. Gui guessed it.
Since Huo Huaiding entered the city, Wen Yan has often been away from the mansion, and must be with Huo Yixiao.
When I returned to Wen Yan, I told her that the two of them had gone to the lake together.
Mrs. Gui recited Huo Yixiao's name several times and described the prospects. Finally, she became more excited.
Wen Zifu led his two masters back to Ding'an Marquis' Mansion, received the old lady's testimony, and returned to the yamen.
Mrs. Gui remembers the current situation. She is now clear about the things that are far away and the things that are now vague, so she does not mention the details. She only says that the villain broke in. She and An are both victims, and the other people need to recall them.
Huo Huaiding heard Wen Zifu report and nodded, "Let the old lady think slowly, this is not too anxious. If we can find the murderer, it will be easier for her to identify it."
Wen Zifu agreed respectfully.
Prefect Li pressed his eyebrows, unable to hide his sorrow in his eyes.
Huang Tongzong couldn't say anything more. Huaishan was born in the Bo Mansion family. If he found out what he found out from him, he pointed to Shunping Bo Mansion.
Huo Huaiding was still in Lin'an, and this great master came forward. As soon as Shang Fangjian came out, no matter what his uncle or uncle were, he could deal with it.
But once Huo Huaiding leaves, he, Prefect Li, will face the uncle's mansion directly...
I can't imagine it.
In other places, I wish I could leave when the patrol came. It was a formality. Why did I arrive at his Lin'an Mansion? He had to wait for Huo Huaiding to stay for a while?
He wanted to ask Huaishan directly where he found the murderer?
Huaishan is also looking for that person.
He left Bo’s mansion early in the morning and went to Huang Tongpin’s house.
The door of Huang Tong's house was closed, and there were two yamen runners guarding the door.
Huaishan was not approaching, so I asked around the street corner and found out that in the middle of the night, someone suddenly came from the government office and took Huang Tong away. The rest of the Huang family were locked up at home.
"I heard it was a crime!" Those who patronize the Pianerchuan stalls are all close neighbors, eating and talking.
"Isn't the imperial court coming to inspectors recently? He asked someone to arrest him!"
"It's just random convenience for people, and something happens!"
"What's the specific thing? How can we ordinary people know? I happened to get up at night and saw him being taken away, so I never came back."
The more I listen to Huaishan, the more I feel weaker.
He wanted to comfort himself. It must be because of the fact that Huang Tongzong had done too many bad things and was arrested. It had nothing to do with them. But the voice of Huang Tongzong who I heard in my dream last night was spinning in his mind over and over again, and the suffocation of being crushed by a ghost was swept over and over...
Huaishan beat his chest hard and finally recovered in one breath.
After walking aimlessly on the street for two quarters of an hour, Huaishan finally made up his mind to take a ferry from the ferry to Maojiabu, and then ran up the mountain...
evening.
The sunset is setting, and the afterglow falls on Xizi Lake, blending with the rippling water waves.
A small boat passed through the lake.
Wen Yan sat in it, holding Ebony'er's hands warmer in his arms, Huo Yixiao lay in the black tent, closing his eyes to rest.
The sound of water was obvious, and the boat was shaking gently. Maybe it was because he was not used to taking a nap on the boat. Huo Yixiao was not sleeping soundly and his brows were frowning.
Wen Yan stretched out his hand and pressed his fingertips against Huo Yixiao's eyebrows. He wanted to gently caress him, but he was worried that he would wake him up.
Hesitating, Wen Yan still withdrew his hand and hummed the song softly.
Soothing and gentle.
When I was a child, my mother often hummed when she coaxed Wen Zhang.
Wen Yan acted coquettishly and said that her mother spoiled her younger brother, but she had never heard of her in her baby.
Tongyan made her mother laugh and hugged her and said that she also coaxed her when she was still a baby, but the baby grew into a baby, and I don’t remember it.
Later, her mother taught her to hum this song. Wen Yan changed her front teeth that year, and she snorted, so her parents gave her face and kept applauding her.
In her previous life, she hummed it for Huo Yixiao and got a "not bad" evaluation.
Wen Yan hummed while thinking about the old things.
Huo Yixiao seemed to hear it, and his eyebrows stretched a little.
The boat arrived at Maojiabu and docked.
Huo Yixiao opened his eyes and met Wen Yan who called him to get up, and was stunned for a moment.
He slept harder than he thought.
He had always been alert, but now Wen Yan was so close that he didn't notice it in his sleep.
Huo Yixiao sat up impatiently. He had been with Wen Yan these days and had become a little "habited". This is not a good thing.
"Have you arrived at the place?" Huo Yixiao asked. Seeing Wen Yan nodding, he left the black tent and jumped onto the shore.
Wen Yan also came to the shore with a black cat in his arms.
Ebony said something, Wen Yan listened for a while, and said to Huo Yixiao: "Go here."
Huo Yixiao no longer wanted to think about how this man and cat communicated. He followed Wen Yan's command and went up the mountain.
There are several small villages in this area, and villagers rely on the incense of the nearby temples to make a living by pilgrimage business.
The two walked for two quarters of an hour before they reached the point where Ebony pointed.
An old yard seems to have not been repaired for some years, and the house closest to the village is also a bit far away.
The courtyard gate was covered in a faint veil. Huo Yixiao pushed the door open and saw Hidden Thunder guarding inside.
In the middle of the night, Wen Yan asked Ei Tan'er to follow Huaishan, and Yin Lei returned to the inn to rest until dawn, and rushed to Huang Tong's house to wait.
As long as Huaishan is suspicious, he will definitely go there to inquire about the news.
Sure enough, Huaishan heard the familiar cat moan at the entrance of the street. When he looked up, the black cat looked at him on the eaves.
One man and one cat came here with Huaishan. Eitan'er went back to report to Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao, and Yin Lei followed him.
Seeing that they were coming, Yin Lei hurriedly said, "Yaoshan and the gangster were knocked out by Xiaodi. They didn't want to disturb them. If the gangster wanted to escape, they could only do this first."
Huo Yixiao nodded and said "Thank you hard".
Then, he walked to the two of them, ignored Huaishan, tied the gangster loosely, grabbed his wrist, rolled up his sleeves to see.
On the right hand, there are paw prints that healed for a while.
Ebony came over, and competed with her claws, and meowed proudly.
Huo Yixiao tied up the man again and asked Yin Lei to go to the foot of the mountain to call a carriage.
While waiting, Wen Yan went into the house and flipped through several rooms, but could not find the bloody clothes that were missing from fabric.
"Maybe it was burned, thrown away," Huo Yixiao leaned against the door and asked, "This kid is so brave that he can't stand it after having a nightmare. What if he doesn't go up the mountain today?"
Wen Yan walked out with a smile and stood beside Huo Yixiao: "Then continue to scare me."
Involuntarily, Huo Yixiao took a deep breath.
Fortunately, this kid is not good. If he is a person who can handle it, he will have to eat a few more green plums.
