It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 194 The Monk Testifies
"Your Master Wu was fine before, and then died suddenly?" Mu Liuyun asked with a frown.

"Yes." The steward nodded hastily, as if he was afraid that Mu Liuyun and the others would not believe him.

"Before that, there was nothing wrong with it. A well-behaved living person suddenly died in the middle of the night?"

"That's... that's what the backyard said, and Wu Zuo from the government didn't say there was anything wrong with it." The manager looked bitter, "It's not convenient for me to go in and out of the backyard. Wu Zuo said it's fine and let the funeral be done , the second lady said to do it, then do it."

"What did Wu Zuo say? Did Wu Zuo inspect Mr. Wu's body according to the steps prescribed by the court?" The more Mu Liuyun asked, the more weird he felt, and the original kind smile on his face also subsided.

The steward is a person who can observe words and expressions. Seeing that Mu Liuyun's expression has changed, he quickly knelt down with a plop: "My lord, I really don't know! I'm just a steward in the mansion. If it wasn't for the previous The old butler offended Fifth Aunt, was beaten up, and had to go home to take care of his bones, and he would not praise me and let me be the steward!

I haven't been in charge for a few days, and I haven't figured out what's going on with many things in the mansion. Some things are beyond my control, so what the master says, so be it, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask for peace and safety to make a living. My parents are both servants of the Wu family, so I don't have any other way to go.

That day, Zuo Zuo came to the house and went to the room to check on the situation of my family. After a while, another person came and brought back the master abbot from a nearby temple. The abbot had seen it and said there was nothing wrong with it. You can testify to the witness, and then the matter is settled like this.

Afterwards, just yesterday morning, the master abbot performed a ceremony in the backyard, and then he was buried!

I don't know if there is anything wrong with this, and what rules should be there, I don't know anything, so please don't embarrass me, my lords!The villain really didn't tell half a lie!Ask me to swear anything!
I don't know if the adults have seen the situation outside during the day today. If the servants of our Wu family are really put outside, it will not be a good life. Madam at home, so I can't disobey the master's orders in the slightest, and I ask the adults not to embarrass me anymore! "

"Which other masters in your family can be the masters? Does Mr. Wu have brothers who live with him, or adult heirs?" Mu Liuyun asked. As far as she knew, Wu Rongzhi just passed the age of this year. of.

The steward shook his head: "My lord, my lord was the only son in the family back then, and he only had a few older sisters, all married far away, not in Yuyong County. My lord has only two daughters under his knees, both married and not in the local area. .

Except for the strong men among the servants in the family, the masters are all women. "

Mu Liuyun sighed, motioned for the manager to get up, and turned to look at Yuan Mu, a little embarrassed.

Now it seems that no matter whether it is a real death or a fraudulent death, there must be something tricky about Wu Rongzhi's affairs, but now this time must be spent here, Wu Rongzhi's family only has a group of widows, and there is no other man who can greet them. Ding, it is indeed inconvenient.

Yuan Mu also realized this, and nodded to Mu Liuyun.

"If that's the case, then we won't stay here anymore." Mu Liuyun said to the steward, "We're staying at the only inn in the county. If you need anything, you can go over there to find us at any time."

The manager hurriedly thanked them, and sent them out with a grateful face.

After leaving Wu Rongzhi's house, Mu Liuyun frowned, paced back and forth on the street outside, looked around, recalled the road he walked the day before, and checked the direction.

"My lord, I'm going to the Yuyong county government office. There must be a clerk on duty there. I'm going to ask where the chief secretary lives!" She said to Yuan Mu angrily, "The chief secretary There is definitely a problem! When we saw him yesterday, he clearly told us that Wu Rongzhi went fishing and hunting with someone!"

"Master, I'll go with the Tuiguan!" Yuan Jia immediately stood behind Mu Liuyun. He felt that this proposal was sound, but it was so late. It must be inappropriate for the little boy to go by himself, let alone encounter bad people. , even if he meets a drunk, he can't settle.

"No, you and Yuan Yi, send Mr. Jiang back to the inn to rest first, and then I have something else for you to do." Yuan Mu shook his head, "You go to the temple near Yuyong County to find out if there is any No matter what changes, no matter whether there is any gain or not, you must come back to communicate with us before noon tomorrow.

Yuan Jia, after you send Mr. Jiang back to the inn, walk along the route that you chased after that black shadow the night before, and carefully check if there are any special traces left along the way, such as scratches, animal traces, etc. Hair and the like, no matter whether there is a harvest or not, return to the inn in time, and don't delay outside for too long. "

"My lord, when it comes to finding the master, Mu pushes the official alone..." Yuan Jia was still a little worried about whether it would be safe for Mu Liuyun to go out alone to handle errands.

"I'll go with Mu Tui, you don't have to worry." Yuan Mu replied.

"This..." Yuan Jia felt that going to see a small county yamen chief and asking Yuan Mu to act would be too motivating.

Yuan Yi pushed him from behind: "My lord has already ordered things, you should hurry up and do them, and what are you talking about here! Could it be that I can't remember the route I traced the night before, so I deliberately went to Hesitating here, dawdling?"

"Nonsense! What kind of memory do I have! How could I not remember!" Yuan Jia was immediately overwhelmed by him when he heard this, and immediately cupped his hands at Yuan Mu, "Master, you just have to be good! I will definitely come back before Yuan Yi!"

Yuan Mu smiled, and took another look at Yuan Yi who was at the side. Yuan Yi also grinned, turned around and cupped his hands at Jiang Jin who was silent: "Jiang Sihu, let's go too! The rest of the matter has to be done." My family is also going to do it with Mu Tui, I’m afraid you won’t be able to help, so don’t follow, it’s getting late now, our brothers will send you back to the inn first, and then we have to go on business!"

Jiang Jin was a little hesitant, looking at Mu Liuyun, Mu Liuyun nodded at him, waved his hands, he sighed, and said to Yuan Yi and Yuan Jia: "Then I'll have to thank you two!"
