Chu Heng would sent his subordinates to look for real craftsmen to perfect the relevant books and sell them in the shop.
This way, there would not be anything special about the books in the house.
Since Chu Jin could not go out, he continued to copy Buddhist scriptures at home.
Madam Liu came by in the afternoon to ask about Tang Bao’s case. She heard that the Tang couple had returned.
“The murderer is already dead. The county magistrate said that he would hold an interrogation in three days. At that time, Teacher Lin, Lil’ Jin, and the others will be needed to go to the county to record their statements. This case will be considered closed,” Madam Liu said.
Ye Muyu instinctively became vigilant. The uneasiness in her heart surged again. She trusted her intuition. “Mother, who told you this news?” “It’s all over the village. They said that the Tang couple said it.”
“But I think the Tang couple’s mood is a little off.” Madam Liu felt uneasy when she thought of the hatred in their eyes.
“Why don’t I find some time to show some concern for the two of them? I’ll also try checking what’s going on.” Ye Muyu thought for a while and nodded.
“Get Han Zhuang to accompany you later.”
“Deal.” Madam Liu felt that this matter had nothing to do with her family. Although Mrs. Tang had gone overboard, she could not deny that Tang Rou was involved.
Ye Muyu changed into a more ordinary set of clothes, and left Liu Hai at home.
As Huo An was a witness, he was still recording his statement in the county town and had not returned.
Ye Muyu was not worried about him since there were Butler Luo and the others in the county.
Ye Muyu and Madam Liu carried some eggs and brown sugar in their hands and went to the Tang family’s house.
On the way, Ye Muyu mentioned that the Wang Family’s Third Young Master was already dead, so the murder was most likely Tang Rou’s doing.
Madam Liu was shocked. “How is this possible?”
“I don’t want to believe it either, but this is the news from the shopkeeper in the county. It’s definitely true. But did the Tang couple mention this?” Ye Muyu asked.
Madam Liu frowned. “No, they didn’t talk much after they came back. Even
Mrs. Tang looked as if she had gone mad. She looked at everyone fiercely.”
“Tang Xueren refused to say a word.”
“This situation isn’t right. If Tang Rou did this, the Tang couple should have already heard about it since they just returned. Why didn’t they mention it?” Madam Liu stopped in her tracks. She said cautiously, “I don’t think it’s appropriate to go over now.”
“Mother, I feel that Mrs. Tang might know something.” The reason why Ye Muyu went was because of her intuition. She felt that the breakthrough might be on this person.
There was no one around the Tang couple, and since Ye Muyu already knew about Han Zhuang’s skills, she had the intention to go over.
“What do you mean?” Madam Liu’s mind was in a mess. The two murders in a row had made the villagers a little afraid. Most of them tried their best to not go out, and they did not even dare to go to the county alone recently.
Madam Liu had never encountered a murder case in the village. Although she was calm enough, the thought of someone in the village becoming the murderer made her feel a chill.
“Mom, I think that since Landlord Wang dared to hire someone to kill, how could he let Tang Rou’s parents off? That was the Third Young Master. I heard that he was very doted on by Landlord Wang. Now that he has been killed,
Landlord Wang will definitely not be satisfied. We only injured the Third Young Miss of the Wang Family before, and it already angered Landlord Wang,” Ye Muyu explained..
