So I play chess

Chapter 198 Investigation
Tang Mingyi's purpose of coming out this trip was nothing more than to verify the truth of Miss Wen's words.

It's just that Tongcheng is not familiar enough to them, so they can only make a roundabout investigation based on what the guards have seen and heard during their errands in the past few days, and some relationships that can barely be counted as talking.

After never losing their residence, the group of people divided into two groups, each led by Tang Mingyi and the team, and headed towards the original Yang Wantang Mansion and Nanshi respectively.

Yang Wantang Mansion has now been converted into a mourning hall, where many people who died because of Yang Wantang are enshrined, and some relatives are still alive, so people often come to worship.There are also some who have to place a memorial tablet there alone, and they are only accompanied by servants working in the Yang Mansion.

There was no strict obstruction here, Tang Mingyi and others directly explained their identities to the strong men guarding the door, and a servant woman took them inside.

The huge yard has been tidied up now, and some of the extravagant decorations have been demolished long ago. Yang Wantang's favorite flowers and plants were supposed to be pulled out, but they were kept because of the prefect's aunt saying "the flowers and plants are innocent, but they were planted in the yard by mistake". When it came down, it was also taken care of carefully, and new trees were planted at the same time. From Tang Mingyi's point of view, the whole was very solemn and solemn.

The maid surnamed Gan who led the way wanted to take them to sit in the living room and ask them what they wanted, but Tang Mingyi didn't want to delay, he just said that the prefect's aunt wanted them to come and worship.

The maid immediately understood, and said sincerely: "The courtyard is well taken care of. You can see it after seeing it. Please don't worry, the master."

Tang Mingyi said "hard work", then asked again: "Is the godmother from Tongcheng?"

"No, no." The godmother looked kind-hearted, with a bit of straightforwardness in her brows, bowed her waist, and said with a slight smile, "We escaped from Guangyang with the villagers. The master is kind. To take us here to do things, it is better to say that Tongcheng is much better than Guangyang."

Tang Mingyi continued to talk about this, and asked some things about the godmother after she came to work here, what did the godmother say, and praised the prefect's aunt several times.

While talking, I came to a secluded small courtyard, and the godmother stopped outside the courtyard: "Everyone, do whatever you want, I'll wait in the corridor where I just came here."

After finishing speaking, the godmother gave a simple salute and turned back.Tang Mingyi understood that this meant that no one else was allowed to approach here, so he returned the salute with the guards and went to knock on the door by himself.

But before he could move, the door suddenly opened by itself, and two strong men dressed as servants stood up, and one of them asked, "Who is it?"

Tang Mingyi stepped forward and replied, "Miss asked me to come and worship."

The servant asked again, "Do you have a waist card?" An attendant who worked as a nursing home in Bushijuli took it out to look at him.

This is considered a temporary pass, the servants just put them into the courtyard, but did not let them move, but followed them, which seemed to be a surveillance.

Tang Mingyi saw that he was by no means an ordinary servant, but looked like a soldier, which was expected, but he kept his expression on his face, and only walked to the place that was obviously the mourning hall. There was nothing special about the layout, just Seeing that among the several long-burning candles in the hall, there is indeed Wen Xin's spiritual seat.

The crowd didn't make any extra moves, they paid their respects earnestly, not to mention inquiring about the news with the servants, so they withdrew again.

Tang Mingyi knew that Miss Wen's ears would definitely hear about her actions, but since she had told him some important things, there was nothing wrong with verifying them in private, so she decided to do it even more calm.

Coming out of the courtyard, the godmother was indeed waiting in front of the corridor, and came up to meet her: "How many of you are done?"

Tang Mingyi said yes, and she led her to go outside. During this time, there were many gossips, and Tang Mingyi also took advantage of the opportunity to say that his group had just moved in and not long ago, and heard the eldest lady mention this place. , I thought about coming to pay homage, and by the way, I asked who it was that stopped here?

"Hey." The godmother sighed first, and then said, "I just said that he is a son, but I don't know what relationship he has with the master's family, and we don't need us to clean and tidy up on weekdays, so he must be an important but not close person. "

Hearing what she said, Tang Mingyi was a little curious: "How can you tell if you're not close?"

"Look at this yard. Originally, this one and that one were all one yard." The godmother turned around and gestured, and clicked on Tang Mingyi before entering the two adjacent yards. A place. With such great power as the prefect aunt, if someone is close, she must do it in an extremely luxurious way, how could it be like this."

Tang Mingyi was noncommittal, but the godmother was seduced by him and said some more.It's nothing more than poor young master, I heard that there is not even a corpse, and I don't know where he went, there is only such a spiritual seat left.

This godmother has no bad intentions, but she works here. Except for being a bit busy at the beginning of the repair, the work is really free on weekdays, so everyone often gathers in twos and threes to gossip.

Tang Mingyi understood it, and felt that this was what Miss Wen told him, that Wen Xin's body was sent to Beiyu.At the same time, he also felt that the eldest lady's behavior was quite satisfactory to him, and there was nothing else.

This is the place where the first person was going to come, and the questions he asked were simple and direct, and he was about to leave after finishing the question, but Lady Tian said one more sentence.

"The original owner of this house was a tyrant in Tongcheng. After being killed by the rebels who entered the city, the owner's family was generous and took in that person's family, so that she would not be allowed to live on the streets and be hated by people who hated her master. To toss to death."

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Mingyi asked casually.

"That's right, Mrs. Liu is also a poor person. Now that she is doing things diligently, it is obvious that she has suffered a lot before."

"May I see you?"

The godmother groaned: "We have all come here, and Lady Liu is staying in the Buddhist hall at the back. She doesn't come out very often on weekdays, and she doesn't see people very much. Or, let me ask first? It's just that the number of people is a little bit longer. Wait a minute, it will take half an hour to go back and forth."

At this time, everyone had already reached the door, so it was really hard to make a fuss. When talking about "Liu Niangzi" just now, a guard gave Tang Mingyi a wink, so he asked this question, but since people have lived here for a long time, It might be better not to ask at this point.

"If that's the case, forget it, don't bother me any more, I'll be busy today." Tang Mingyi cupped his hands, and the godmother didn't want to stay anymore, so they separated.
