Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 149
"My lord!" Su Yizhao cupped his hands and said, "There were too many people just now, so it's inconvenient for the students to talk too much, so as not to startle the snake."

"The student's concern is that Mrs. Liang has many opportunities to sneak attack Master Liu. If I were to choose him when he was asleep, then Master Liu should have been stabbed lying on the bed, not lying on the floor next to the bed."

Su Yizhao stroked his chin in thought, and then said: "Master Liu is a strong man, and Mrs. Liang is so weak that he has no strength to restrain a chicken. Even if it is a sneak attack, he can be killed with a single knife. The wound is so deep that the edge of the dagger is almost gone." It might be a bit difficult to get in, and Mr. Liu is so fat."

"Of course, this is just the student's guess! But the student thinks that the scope can be expanded. The adults have listed Liang as the most suspect just now. If the murderer is someone else, we will investigate secretly and let him relax his vigilance. Paralyze the opponent."

Master Yang pondered for a long time before saying: "Then we have to send someone to secretly investigate who had left the main hall at that time. Maybe the thugs guarding the main hall can know better."

"Then call the thugs to ask?" Su Wenqing said positively.

After getting permission, Su Wenqing immediately turned around to handle the matter.

Su Yizhao looked at Su Wenqing's back and thought in his heart, this father is very curious, in fact his nature is not that bad, but he is a bit arrogant and ignorant of the sufferings of the world, maybe she can slowly guide him to the right path?
"There are also guards outside Master Du's cabin, maybe they can hear something." Su Yizhao thought of this person, so he added.

"My lord! We've caught Wang Wei!" Shopkeeper Zhou immediately ran in, panting.

"Oh? Where's the person? Bring it here immediately!" Lord Yang's spirit was shaken, and he was overjoyed.

When Wang Wei was brought to the cabin, his whole body was wet, his arms were cut behind his back, and his face was ashen.

Seeing Master Yang, he was kicked in the crook of the leg by shopkeeper Zhou, and immediately fell to his knees.

"My lord! He was hiding in the river when we found him."

Master Yang and Su Yizhao were very surprised, could they still find it hiding in the river?
Shopkeeper Zhou had a somewhat complacent expression on his face at the moment, "At that time we went to search in the small room of Mrs. Wang, but we did not find Wang Wei. When I was about to take someone away, I suddenly found a window on Mrs. Wang's window. A thin rope was hanging out of the window, and I couldn't help but feel puzzled, so I pulled the rope to check."

"Looking at it, there was an unexpected surprise."

Shopkeeper Zhou said, and immediately ordered someone to bring over a pack of oiled paper.

When Su Yizhao saw the shape and the heavy weight, he immediately understood it.

"Have you found the lost property?" Su Yizhao said with a smile.

"Young master is smart, and it is indeed the lost property of Master Du and his wife."

Shopkeeper Zhou said, and unwrapped the oil-paper package himself.

Master Yang and the others found that it was the jewelry box that Master Du had mentioned. Master Yang repeatedly said, "Open it quickly! See if the belongings are still there."

Inside was a half box of jewelry and a green purse, opened the purse, found a few hundred taels of silver bills, counted them, there were six in total, and a few taels of silver and scattered copper coins.

"My lord! The things inside are exactly as Mr. Du said. It seems that this is the property of Mr. Du and his wife."

Shopkeeper Zhou was also very excited, and finally he was going to find the murderer.

"Then how did Wang Wei find out?"

Su Yizhao was very surprised. Since Wang Wei's water quality is so good, he can hide in the river first and come out to breathe from time to time!
"Haha! It's a no-brainer!"

Shopkeeper Zhou pointed at the remorseful Wang Wei, "He was guarding the oiled paper bag at that time. He took a bamboo tube from somewhere and exposed it to the water to breathe. I have been with the boat for more than ten years. The way the bamboo tube breathes is But it's all too familiar."

"Therefore, when I looked at the bamboo tube, I concluded that there was someone under the water, so I immediately ordered people to go into the water to catch it. Isn't that true? He was reluctant to part with his belongings, so he insisted on looking at this bag."

Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads when they heard the words, this is the consequence of greed.

Master Yang patted the round table, "Go and bring Mrs. Wang!"

Wang Wei opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and his expression was a little depressed.

"Wang Wei, why don't you tell the truth? But you conspired with Mrs. Wang to murder them? To get their money?"

Master Yang felt that the matter was already clear, and there was no need for further investigation.

Wang Wei nodded when he heard the words, "It is true that the grass people killed Master Du and his wife, but this matter has nothing to do with my aunt, and Master Du is not a good person, he is also the murderer who killed his wife."

Nanny Wang was quickly brought over. When she saw Wang Wei kneeling on the ground, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

"Nurse Wang, are you convicted?" Knowing that Mrs. Wang was deaf, Master Yang pointed at Mrs. Wang and shouted angrily.

Nanny Wang's face was pale, she knelt down on the ground, trembling, and shouted: "Your servant is guilty!"

Master Yang's expression softened immediately, it seemed that the murder case on this ship could finally be settled.

Things were as everyone had guessed before, Mr. Du originally had a well-to-do family and was considered a wealthy household.

The marriage between the Yao family and Master Du was a matchmaker made by the clan. After the couple got married, Yao's natal family took good care of Master Du, and even married several shops and more than 1000 mu of land as a dowry.

Master Du started to make a living with Yao's dowry, and he reaped a lot at first, and everyone lived in peace.

Later, when the husband and wife went to the capital to do business and Mr. Du failed in his business, there was a rift between the husband and wife.

"Madam has a strong temper, relying on the help of her mother's family, even in front of our servants, she doesn't give the master face. As time goes by, the master complains, but it has always been backlogged in his heart."

Although Wang Wei has only stayed in the Du family for more than two years, he knows everything about the Du family very well.

"This time the master's business failed. Not only did the wife not take out the dowry to help tide over the difficulties, but she also ridiculed the master, saying that without the help of the Yao family, the master would not be able to do anything."

This dowry is originally belonging to the woman, and Dayun Chao's husband will be criticized for using his wife's dowry.

However, when encountering difficulties, if it is just a turnaround, it is reasonable to take it out to help tide over the difficulties.

Su Yizhao thought of the Tang family. The Tang family was a married daughter, but if the family was in trouble, she would still help her out. She even gave up the most profitable dowry shop.

"Master was short of breath, went out and drank a lot of wine, Cao Min was by his side, he uttered the truth after drinking, and vented his dissatisfaction with Madam for so many years."

"You said that your master is not a good person. Could it be that your master proposed the plan to kill Yao?" Su Yizhao asked.

"Yes!" Wang Wei nodded.

"Master explained that as long as he helped at the time, he could survive, but it was because his wife refused to help that he fell into such a situation. Relying on the wealth of his mother's family, he will come when he is called, and he will go away when he is waved!"

"No! It's not like that!" Nanny Wang suddenly shook her head.

It turned out that Mrs. Wang had been listening carefully to everyone's conversations. When she heard Wang Wei say that his wife would not help, she couldn't help but refute.
