It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 199 Get in the way
"It seems that the second lady still has some tricks. For a family like Mr. Wu, it may not be easy to take care of the family affairs." After hearing this, Mu Liuyun felt a little surprised. It is really disgusting to have been harassing the other party for many years, and the choice of the second wife after being harassed for many years is also very surprising.

"Whether there are means or not, this is not something I can know." The master book laughed, "But this second lady is in charge of the family affairs, so she doesn't need any serious means. She doesn't interfere with Mr. Wu very much. He It doesn't matter what she wants outside, she only cares about the affairs of the back house, and doesn't care about anything else.

So Mr. Wu is also happy and at ease, as long as he doesn't care about his affairs outside, he will listen to the second wife's affairs at home. "

Mu Liuyun nodded after hearing this, thinking in his heart, in this way, the second wife may be the biggest beneficiary of Wu Rongzhi's death. After all, as a flat wife, she and the eldest lady have no status in the family. There are obvious differences, but as the actual manager of everything in the family on weekdays, she is very clear about the money and finances of the family and so on!

"By the way, the master is also a native of Yuyong County, right?" Mu Liuyun stopped thinking about other things, and asked about something else.

The master book nodded: "My grandfather moved here with his wife and children, and our family has always settled here since then."

"Then can the master record tell you that about 20 years ago, was there ever a bandit infestation around Yuyong County?"

"Bandits?" The master was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and shook his head, "Bandits used to make trouble for a while in the early years, but it didn't make a big difference. I haven't heard much about bandits coming out for activities."

"Then why did I hear that there were many bandits around Yuyong County in the past, and they often robbed passing merchants and tourists, robbed the money for goods, and even killed people to steal goods?"

"Then my lord must have misremembered, not to mention Yuyong County, even the whole Yanzhou, I have never heard of any bandits infested." The master smiled and waved his hand, "Our Yanzhou boundary is not so majestic. The forests on the mountains were not dense enough, so if bandits wanted to hide in the forests, they probably wouldn't be able to hide many people.

Also, the most famous things in Yanzhou are all kinds of dyes and some things like pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Dyes are only useful to those who are engaged in the weaving and dyeing industry. If others take them, they are no different from stones. The price of dyes is not expensive, and merchants will not carry such a large amount of gold and silver with them, it is not worth the risk of killing people and stealing goods!
If we talk about anything else, the vicinity of our Yuyong County is indeed not a good place, but there has never been a bandit infestation. "

Mu Liuyun nodded, confirming that the master's account should be telling the truth. After all, she followed Yuan Mu to look through a lot of files in the county government. In recent years, the cases handled by the Yuyong County government have been messed up. , It’s a mess, but in those cases that have been handled very foolishly, there is indeed no record about bandits.

According to Mu Liuyun's experience, judging from the files of the Yuyong County Government, the sudden death of Mr. Wu was just incompetent and reckless when handling the case, but there was no trace of deliberately concealing it.

Looking at it this way, Wan Maohuai's statement that bandits robbed money, murdered people, and even kidnapped a young servant is indeed ridiculous. The courage to take people up the mountain.

Having chatted with the master book about the same, there was no need to bother him for too long, so Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu left the master book's house and walked back to the inn.

After staying in the master's house for a while, the streets and alleys outside also became quieter. The two of them walked on such a quiet street, except for the sound of their own footsteps, there was no other sound.

It is strange to say that if it is in a particularly noisy market or restaurant, Mu Liuyun is more at ease to discuss something with Yuan Mu in a low voice, but now that it is so quiet, she dare not speak, she always feels that if there is someone in the dark If you lurk there quietly, under such silence, no matter how low the sound is, you can still hear it clearly when you have good hearing.

Yuan Mu seemed to think so too, and walked beside Mu Liuyun without saying a word along the way, until he reached the inn before calling Mu Liuyun to his room.

"What do you think about Wu Rongzhi's sudden death?" Yuan Mu asked Mu Liuyun as he sat down at the table with his robe lifted.

Mu Liuyun has been thinking about this matter all along the way, and now he was asked, of course he said without hesitation: "I originally thought that if the Yanzhou government can handle this matter properly, then we will Go to the next stop Songzhou as usual!

But now it seems that if your lord does not object, then we may have to stay in Yanzhou and Yuyong County for a few more days.

Although this Wu Rongzhi was full of evil, and he had never done anything good since he became a parent officer in Yuyong County, his death was so strange that if we hadn't just happened to be caught by us, and if he hadn't asked about it, then I'm afraid the truth It will be buried forever, and you may not be able to dig it if you want to dig it in the future!

A person who can dominate Yuyong County for so long, bully men and women, and almost monopolize the county's commerce, like a local emperor, if Wu Rongzhi has no power in Yuyong County, he has no power in Yanzhou. I can't even believe it if someone protects me.

It is said that Wu Rongzhi has accumulated a lot of public grievances in Yuyong County. It is not impossible to say that some people really can't bear it and decide to eliminate harm for the people. But according to his usual power, it is really like this. I don't believe Yan The state government will send an officer to muddle through the matter casually, and will definitely investigate thoroughly.

But just such a powerful person with protection above, who was fine the day before, or in other words, was fine during the day, suddenly died suddenly in the night, after the sudden death, from top to bottom, no one made a sound, He even closed the case in a very perfunctory way, and hurriedly urged the family to bury him. If there is nothing else in it, it is absolutely unreasonable! "

Yuan Mu nodded: "Why do you think Wu Rongzhi suffered such misfortune?"

"In my humble opinion..." Mu Liuyun rubbed his chin, "I think this guy must have been here for too long, he's a bit lost, and he did something that crossed the line and hindered others He became an abandoned child."
