Chapter 59: Three Yangs
Sun Dahai and others were a little confused, but they still took the order and left. Wang Tong also rubbed his forehead and did this with passion. However, this investigation of the case really requires professionals. The instructions he just told were just some means of imitating from film and television novels.
There were many people watching the fun, but when they saw the Jinyiwei coming to investigate, they immediately scattered with a loud bang. It was okay to watch the fun, but no one would want to get involved.
Standing in the room where two people died, the fire in the furnace was extinguished, and the cold air in the room was so cold that it was still gloomy even though the sun had already shone in.
Wang Tong didn't want to stay here for too long, so he looked around and left, but he felt something was wrong when he saw it. The house was empty and had no decorations.
Manager Zhao has his own shares in the Nanfu Store and his income is not low. For families like him, there must be many large porcelain vases, blue and white porcelain basins, and copper and tin vessels in the house, but the main hall is empty and there is no need to be compared with other people's families. Before Wang Tong's family went to Macau, he was not as wealthy as Zhuanggu's family, but the decorations of Wang Tong's family at that time were much more neat and richer than that of the Zhao family at that time.
Wang Tong frowned and walked into the Zhao family's bedroom, opened the cages directly, and flipped through them, and found that there was no fur in the clothes inside, and there was no new clothes.
For such families, there are a few leather and fur clothes for winter, not only to keep warm, but also to be decent. Zhangguin Zhao, a middle-class and upper-level merchant who welcomes and sends them to the public, has to take care of this face, but why is the box in which the clothes are so cold?
When I turned around and was about to go out, I saw a table of incense in the corner of the bedroom, which was placed on the table with a bronze Buddha. The remaining incense was still smoking in the incense burner in front of the Buddha.
Believing in gods and Buddhas is not a big deal. Widow Ma also worships Bodhisattvas at her home, but this bronze Buddha is different from the ordinary Buddha statue. Wang Tong glanced at it and then looked at it carefully a few times.
The Buddha statue has Buddha light behind it, sitting cross-legged on lotus, picking flowers and chanting scriptures, but this bronze statue looks like a Buddha, and is also standing cross-legged on the lotus seat, but with both hands raised, there is a small sun on the chest and abdomen, and each of the raised hands holds a small sun.
Wang Tong stared at the bronze Buddha for a long time, searched through the memories of his past and present life, but he did not recognize that this was the Buddha or the god.
Nowadays, there are many lamas from the Red and Yellow Sects in the capital. Could it be that this is offered by Tantric Buddhism? Wang Tong shook his head and did not think about him.
According to Wang Tong's purely layman's observation, he could see so many wrong places, so he could say that he would often wave it. Looking around for a few circles, the more he felt that the place was so yin and strange that it was strange and inexplicable, so he hurried out of the door.
Just now, the people watching the fun in this alley were crowded with people. When the soldiers of the Jinyiwei went out to inquire, they immediately dispersed. Even the people on the streets avoided this place, for fear of causing trouble.
Such a scene is the same in ancient and modern times. I think Wang Tong had played a role that was not related to this matter, so he could only smile bitterly at this point, and things could only be arranged to this point.
Wang Tong was filled with frustration. He originally thought that the constables from Shuntian Mansion could cooperate and resolve the case neatly, but he did not expect that it would become such a situation.
It was almost noon. Seeing that Sun Dahai and the others were still busy on the street, Wang Tong simply went back and called Ma Widow Ma and Ma Sanbiao together, and took out the remaining ingredients in the delicious restaurant and started cooking.
The Ma family and his son were busy there. Wang Tong sat in the main hall and listened to the people coming back reporting that there was no news on the street, but the neighbors asked something. It seemed that Manager Zhao had something wrong since the twelfth lunar month and was unconscious.
Some people also saw Manager Zhao's wife secretly taking things from home to the pawn shop, and occasionally people who were not right at home were in and out.
Yesterday on New Year's Eve, someone saw Zhangguan Zhao and his wife. If that's what he said, the Zhao family's tragedy was almost born at night.
However, the location of the Zhao family is also special. The warehouse and store of the Nanhuo Store just wrapped the Zhao family's residence, and even if there is any movement, the neighbors around them cannot hear it.
After the person came back, he went to help Widow Ma cook. Widow Ma hurried back to his home, where Zhao Jinliang was still there to take care of him.
Although the lunch was hasty, there were fish and meat. Wang Tong invited everyone to sit down for dinner. Sun Dahai and others were polite and ate it. Sun Dahai took a few bites and raised his head and said in a muffled voice:
"The residents on Nan Street are much richer than those on Niulan Street, but they are too uncomfortable in doing things and are hesitant."
Everyone around him responded a few times. Wang Tong shook his head with a smile and explained:
"The people are already afraid to see our clothes, so they can still speak briskly..."
While talking, Zou Yi walked in and saw the people in the room without hesitation and said directly:
"I have eaten breakfast here and lunch together. Now when I return to the palace, the people in the imperial kitchen are all taking care of the emperor and the nobles of each palace. They will definitely give our family the cold rice and leftovers to deal with. It is not as comfortable as your hot soup and water."
Such close people come to have a meal, so naturally there is no reason to introduce it. Wang Tong smiled and arranged for Ma Sanbiao to bring the meal to Zou Yi and his two followers.
Seeing that this man was a father-in-law in the palace and was close to Wang Tong Yanyan, Sun Dahai and others were much more careful and were having a meal there. Zou Yi was relaxed and chatted a few times from time to time.
A person like Zou Yi can tell that Wang Tong is depressed after saying a few words. He has to ask a few questions. Zou Yi is a sensible person. After Wang Tong finished talking about the matter, he also wanted to hear the other party’s opinions.
When Zou Yi laughed loudly when he heard Wang Tong being defeated in front of the constable in Shuntian Mansion, he laughed and his chopsticks fell on the table. Wang Tong was so funny that he couldn't touch his head. Sun Dahai, Ma Sanbiao and others secretly stared at him, feeling angry.
After laughing for a while, Zou Yi took a pair of chopsticks again, pointed at Wang Tong and joked with a smile:
"Mr. Wang, you are right to stick to your duties, but this method of doing things is too stupid. How to say it, it is like a wealthy family with a mountain of gold and silver at home, but they are worried that they can't find copper coins to spend."
Apart from being ignorant, Wang Tong was not angry. The other party said this, probably because he wanted to help him, so he quickly followed the question:
"What can I do with Eunuch Zou?"
In front of outsiders, the two people could not be matched by each other. Zou Yi saw Wang Tong's calm expression, nodded slightly, praised the other person's calmness, and said with a smile:
"What is your identity now, Lord Wang? Is there a headache for the small servants in Shuntian Mansion? This is not how things are done?"
