Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 121: Coping before the Spirit
The moment Wang Heng walked away, the carved hall had been covered with white cloth and white curtains, and the mourning hall had begun to be decorated.

Uncle Yan had a tired look on his face, while he was still dealing with Uncle He who was sent by Mr. Huang Er. The two of them had to argue after a few words, but it was inconvenient to break up. They gritted their teeth and kept their voices stiff and lowered their voices.

Uncle He did not restrain the servants he brought. Those servants were ready to make trouble at any time.

Wang Heng felt very sad when he saw this situation and suppressed his anger so as not to lose his composure.

The direct family of the Huang family has withered away. From now on, Mr. Huang will definitely dominate the family. I don’t know why he can’t wait to stir up trouble in the funeral of Brother Yongning.

Wang Heng stepped heavily. When Uncle He saw him coming in, his expression was a little unnatural, so he walked farther away knowingly.

Judging from Uncle He's attitude, Mr. Huang Er should have taken care of him. Now that Huang Yuntai and Huang Yongning are gone, Mr. Huang still maintains a certain courtesy towards him. It is not difficult to guess that Mr. Huang wants to inherit some things. Due to the personal connections of the direct sect of the Changfang, he is now the vice president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, and he probably wants to take it a step further.He already had a wealth of wealth, but it was not easy to make friends with family members in an official family overnight.

Wang Heng pulled Yan Bo to the other side of the curtain to avoid the eyes and ears of others.

"Old Yan, what I'm asking now is very important. It's about whether there will be another murder from the East Building's direct clan. You must answer me seriously. After noon yesterday, all the servants in the East Building were suddenly replaced by people I didn't recognize. What's the reason for this? Mother Liu, Mother Fang, where have they gone?" Wang Heng said solemnly.

Uncle Yan was stunned and said: "There are many servants in the East Building. During the New Year, we often have to take turns as usual. Many people took leave to go home during the Winter Solstice. They came back to work yesterday. Ma Liu and the others were left behind during the Winter Solstice. Naturally, I have to go back and take a few days to make up for my rest."

coincide?How could there be so many coincidences? Wang Heng couldn't believe there was such a coincidence.

"Old Yan, go and ask now, who ordered the company's large carriage yesterday, and who was the groom who drove it? Go to the inner courtyard and check the roster to see if there is anyone who has not asked for leave and is no longer in the east building? "

Wang Heng was a little anxious. Seeing that Uncle Yan was still in a daze, he said in a stronger tone: "Old Yan, if you don't want anyone to die in the east building in the past few days, just do as I say. Don't worry, I'll stay in the carved hall." Deal with Master Huang."

Uncle Yan seemed to understand what he said, and he groaned softly, "Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Wang Heng said with a little disgust, "Old Yan, you are old, take care of yourself. It will be difficult for you to stay up all night. Let me watch here first, and you can go and lie down and rest."

Uncle Yan shook his head and excused himself, going to rest for a while.

Wang Heng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle with Ma Jin Dao. Uncle He and others were far away from him, and no one disturbed him. When he saw the plates of red bean and glutinous rice cakes placed on the table, his stomach suddenly bulged like thunder, and he continued to I swallowed several pieces to stop the hunger that was scratching my heart and lungs. Although I was young and strong, I felt sleepy at this moment, and I fell asleep sitting down.

"Brother Wang Qi, wake up quickly, Brother Wang Qi, wake up quickly." Wang Heng woke up from his deep sleep, and the person shaking his arm vigorously was the lean Huang Xiaoba. "Huang Xiaoba, are you looking for me?" Wang Heng rubbed his eyes.

Huang Xiaoba held three incense sticks in his hand and said, "I'll burn some incense for my brother-in-law."

After that, he knelt respectfully in front of Huang Yongning's soul and bowed three times. Tears flashed in his eyes, and Wang Heng saw sadness in his eyes.

The entire Wanhu Village was indifferent and indifferent to Huang Yongning's death. Huang Xiaoba was the only one who really showed sadness.

"Do you usually have a good relationship with your Yongning brother-in-law?" Wang Heng asked.

Huang Xiaoba tilted his little head and replied: "My brother-in-law is actually my master. He taught me how to draw."

"Oh, how many strokes can your brother-in-law Huang Yongning draw? I've never heard of this. Is he famous nearby?" Wang Heng was surprised.

Huang Xiaoba shook his head and said: "My brother-in-law is not famous. He is only willing to teach me secretly. However, his painting skills are better than famous painters."

"Balang, our family has gone." Outside the carved hall, an unfamiliar maid came in and called Huang Xiaoba. The maid apologized to Wang Heng and said: "Master, my children have sharp eyes and can see unclean things. My family My wife won’t let him stay in front of the spirit for any longer, so I have to take him back.”

Huang Xiaoba snorted and said to the maid: "Axiu, you go home first. I'll go have a few words with Sister Yinfeng and the little sister, and I'll go home later."

After saying that, he ran away toward the inner courtyard of the east building. The maid Axiu quickly picked up her skirt and ran after him.

Wang Heng's heart moved. Most of the words Huang Xiaoba said to him yesterday morning were parrots. Which adult taught him and allowed him to pass the message must be someone who has an extremely close relationship with Huang Xiaoba.

If it was Yinfeng, why did she hint that she had stepped into a trap?On the surface, Mr. Huang Er has no ill intentions towards him.

And little sister, which one is she?
Wait until Lao Yan comes to ask him more about all this.
