The ghost hooked

On the fifth day in Song Mansion.

According to last night's arrangement, Wu Wu took Xue Xiujie to Song Li's courtyard. The two were not familiar with the Song residence, so they could only follow Wuying's instructions. Fortunately, something happened to Mr. Song, and the servant girls were lazy Yes, the two of them traveled smoothly along the way.

The courtyard where Song Li lives is in the northwest corner of the Song Mansion. Not only is the place small, but there is not even a single waiter in the courtyard.

Mo Wu and Xue Xiujie walked to the door of the main room, knocked on the door, and heard a weak "Come in!"

After realizing that the two had left, Xiaobao decided to go to the kitchen and ask Zhang San for an egg in order to make up for yesterday's mistake.

Following Wuying's guidance, Xiaobao arrived at the kitchen smoothly. It was already past the time for breakfast, and the kitchen was empty, except for a servant girl who was sitting on a small bench, facing the door sideways, boiling medicine.

Xiaobao was standing by the door, just about to ask her if she had any eggs, when the maid took out a small paper bag from her bosom, poured the powdery contents into the medicine, and threw the yellow paper into the fire .

Although Xiaobao hadn't taken the medicine, he felt uncomfortable when he saw the man sneaking around. He looked around and saw no one, so he left gently.

After walking a certain distance, Xiao Bao let out a breath and looked back, feeling terrified, not knowing whose medicine it was, let alone what the maid poured into the medicine.

Putting the matter behind him, Xiaobao deftly followed the original route back to Qingfengyuan.

Knowing that the two entered Song Li's room smoothly, Song Li asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Wu said: "The poor monk Wu Wu came from the White Horse Temple and was invited by Master Song to live in the mansion for a few days." He pointed to Xue Xiujie and said, "This is the doctor who is traveling with me. I heard that the second young master is ill. , specially came to treat you.”

All the monks in the mansion were invited by Mr. Song, Song Li knew his status in the family, maybe he couldn't even compare to a monk from outside.

But he didn't dare to have any complaints. If it wasn't for the disaster he caused seven years ago, he wouldn't be like this at home. He stretched out his arms obediently and said: "Although I have been taking medicine, I have not Crazy, those are just medicines for the body. The woman on the stage the day before yesterday was indeed Yingniang, I have known her for nearly a year, how can I not remember her face."

Xue Xiujie put his hand on his pulse, listened to him with a frown, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and didn't quite believe what he said.

After taking his pulse, Xue Xiujie looked at Song Li's tongue again, and asked, "Do you often feel groggy and not clear-headed?"

Song Li nodded and said: "I often feel that my hair is heavy and I want to sleep, it should be caused by worrying."

Xue Xiujie twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you a doctor or am I a doctor? Do you really think that you can become a good doctor after a long illness? You are not in a natural state. It should be caused by some medicine you have taken. Do you still have symptoms occasionally? A violent situation?"

Song Li nodded and asked, "Isn't it because I miss Yingniang too much?"

Hearing that he took the initiative to mention Yingniang, he realized it and said: "Since benefactor Song misses Yingniang so much, he must have a deep relationship with Yingniang?"

Usually assigned to the Zhuangzi, the servants around him don't want to see him, and he often feels groggy and his mind is not clear. Now someone asks about Yingniang, Song Li naturally has a lot to say, he is eager to hope Someone can understand his relationship with Yingniang, instead of just listening to the rumors outside.

He said: "I met Yingniang about eight years ago. At that time, I was still very naive. I didn't get my father's attention at home, so I followed a group of cronies to the brothel to have fun. People often say that the women in the brothel are not clean. They are actually low-spirited women, just having fun. I thought so at first, until I met Yingniang.

"Yingniang is different from other brothel girls, she is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable.

"Talk to her about the boredom in my heart, and she will listen to it quietly, and even suggest that I make some careers to show my father.

"She never asks me for money, even if I give her money, she will save it and return it to me, and let me use it to do some business.

"You may not know that my mother is my father's first wife, but the relationship between the two is not good. My mother died of illness when I was 12 years old. Although there are several concubines in the mansion, no one really cares about me. .

"The longer I spend with Yingniang, the more I like her, and I know she likes me too. Seven years ago, I finally decided to tell my father that I would marry Yingniang back home.

"But my father disagreed, and after a few days of quarreling, he reluctantly agreed to let me take Yingniang as his concubine.

"Everything was going well until a few days before I took the concubine, I took Yingniang to play outside Yangzhou City, at the foot of the mountain in the south of the city, for some reason, a bear sprang out suddenly, and the bear came towards me. The two rushed over, and at the critical moment, Yingniang pushed me away with one hand, and she entered the bear's mouth.

"I'm afraid of blood, and I fainted when I saw blood. When I was woken up by the servants and maids who followed me far away, there was only a bloodstain left on the ground, and Yingniang disappeared like this."

When it came to the end, Song Li choked up, and tears flowed down his cheeks. The affection in it did not seem to be fake.

I realized that the more they listened, the more confused they became. What Song Li said was far from what Liu Mei said, and neither of them seemed to be lying. If the one with higher credibility should be Song Li, after all, he experienced it himself. Man, as long as he didn't lie, then Yingniang's death was an accident.

And Xiaobao, who had returned to Qingfengyuan earlier, was tiptoeing into the courtyard behind Zhang San at this time, the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves covered his footsteps.

When he approached the door, he stretched out his hand and poked the maid who was bent over and put her ear on the crack of the door, and asked, "What are you doing? Listen to the wall!"

The servant girl was eavesdropping on the conversation of the three people inside, but she was startled by Xiao Bao suddenly. With an "ah", she accidentally threw the tray on the ground, the medicine bowl on it fell, and the boiled soup was scattered all over the floor. .

The noise outside startled the people inside, Xue Xiujie shouted: "Who is outside?"

While picking up things, the servant girl made amends and said: "Second young master, it's all because of Xiang'er's fault. This servant accidentally spilled the medicine, so I'm going to make new ones." After finishing speaking, she bowed her head and left swiftly.

Xue Xiujie opened the door, looked at Xiaobao standing outside, and asked in a little surprise, "Why are you here?"

Xiaobao picked up Zhang San and said, "It's all its fault. It wants to eat eggs, so I came to find you to buy eggs."

Xue Xiujie, who was forced to become an errand boy, glanced at him, then looked at the water stains on the ground.I saw him squatting down, moving his nostrils, approaching the medicinal soup and smelling it, the smell was very weak and nothing could be smelled.

Just when he was about to get up, Xiaobao said: "You also think there is something wrong with this medicine?" He approached Xue Xiujie and whispered in his ear: "I went to the kitchen to find eggs for Zhang San, and saw that maid sprinkled in the medicine. There is some powder, I don't know what it is."

There was suspicion one moment, but it was confirmed the next moment. Xue Xiujie gave Zhang San a look of appreciation, you deserve a lot of eggs!

After telling the discovery to the two people in the house, Song Li said excitedly: "Impossible, Xiang'er has been with me for nearly ten years, she is loyal, she will not harm me!"

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Song Liping calmed down a bit, thinking of the past, Xiang'er was the only maid in the whole house who served him and treated him sincerely, others said he was crazy and talked nonsense, but Xiang'er always persuaded him Said: "Young Master, Xiang'er believes that you are not sick. This is the medicine prescribed by a famous doctor in Yangzhou City. Take it according to the doctor's advice, and you will gradually get better."

The previous scene immediately became suspicious, and being with him all day long became ridiculous. Song Li slowly fell on the bed and looked at the top of the bed. Could it be that no one in the Song residence really treated him sincerely.

Sure enough, only Yingniang treated him sincerely in this world.

Seeing Song Li's distraught look, he realized: "Song benefactor, I don't know who were the maids and servants who accompanied you to the south of the city back then, can you listen to what they have to say?"

Confused, Song Li glanced at Wu Wu, and said: "Seven years have passed, and I have also fallen into such a situation. Those people have long since disappeared, only Xiang'er has always been there."

Xue Xiujie and Wu Wu looked at each other, there was indeed something wrong with Xiang'er.

Xiaobao didn't hear the previous story, and asked: "Did you kill Yingniang?"

This sentence seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Song Li said with red eyes, "That's all rumors! I didn't kill her. I love her and pity her before it's too late. How could I kill her?"

After asking all the questions I wanted to ask, three people and one dog returned to Qingfengyuan. No, it should be said that two people and one dog, Xue Xiujie went out to buy eggs willingly.

Just walked to the gate of Qingfengyuan, Xiaobao didn't leave. He raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and looked surprised. Wu Wu wanted to call him, but when he looked in the direction Xiaobao was looking at, he was quite surprised. for shock.

Seeing the two come back, Wu Ying who was standing on the bamboo tip flew down and asked, "Why don't you enter the yard?"

While walking inward, he realized and sighed, saying: "Your kung fu has gradually improved in the past few years, and your lightness kung fu has reached such a level!"

"Back then, Patriarch Bodhidharma was able to cross the river on a single reed, but I was still far behind." Wuying said, "How about it, what did you find?"

Wu Wu told Wuying about Song Li, and said: "Now that maid has become an important witness, if she can speak the truth, everything will be clear."

Wuying raised an eyebrow on one side, and joked: "I didn't expect you to have the ability to solve cases in less than two months after leaving the White Horse Temple."

Hearing this, Wu Wu shook his head and smiled wryly, then looked at the people next to him again, since he met Xiao Bao, his life has indeed been much more exciting.

"If you think there is something wrong with that maid, you might as well ask Mrs. Song." Wuying said.

Realization was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say that?"

"I just saw that maid came out from the side courtyard, sneaked to the main courtyard, and entered Mrs. Song's room." Wuying said.

Wu Wu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xiao Bao asked with a look of surprise: "Wu Ying, are you the second child? Have clairvoyant eyes and ears?"

Just stood on the tree and saw Wuying of the figure: "..."

I don't understand what kind of education Xiaobao received when he was young: "..."

Zhang San always felt that there was something strange mixed in: "..."

The author has something to say: Little Angel: Rabbit author, what the hell are you writing about?Even the current things are mixed in!

The author of the aggrieved rabbit said: "I have an ambush pen, and I opened a special chapter_(:зゝ∠)_need comfort"
