Great Lawyer

Chapter 313 Mao's Rules ([-])

The two arrived at Mao's house.

Mao Xianyou was not here, and his two biological sons didn't live here, so there was only Mrs. Guo in the family. Mrs. Guo looked at them with anger and fear, "...today, did you... have a section?"

"En." Du Jiuyan said: "Madam, do you want to know the result?"

"My son, mother didn't protect you well." Guo Shi covered her face and cried, Du Jiuyan and King Gui didn't interrupt her.

After a while, Mrs. Guo was tired from crying, so she wiped away her tears, suppressing her grief and resentment, and said, "My lord and sir, come in and talk."

The three sat down, and Du Jiuyan told Guo the result.

Mrs. Guo was stunned, "You mean, the tiger died after eating something it shouldn't? Isn't it poisoned?"

"Food or that thing itself may not be poisonous, but to him, it is like arsenic." Du Jiuyan asked, "He fell ill when he was ten years old. Do you remember what season it was?"

After thinking about it, Qiao's expression changed, and she said, "Just, at this time, I remember he was still clamoring to go swimming in the river."

"I didn't let him go, so he ran out by himself. When he came back, he was sweating. I gave him a meal, and he was a little bit wrong at night." Guo said: "So at first I thought he was suffering from the cold. , didn't pay much attention."

In the same season, it is indeed a coincidence, "This time he came home, what did he do, did he go out of town?"

"Going out." Guo Shi said: "He said that someone asked him out, and he wanted to go out of the city to Longqing Temple."

"Apart from these, what did you eat?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Mrs. Guo thought for a while, "He came home before noon. I made meat, lotus root, and a plate of river prawns. They are all dishes he usually likes to eat. They are definitely not like what you said."

"Does he often go out of the city?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Mrs. Guo shook her head, "It's not like he goes out often, he studies very seriously and has a very boring personality."

"Who did he invite to Longqing Temple?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Guo shook her head, "He didn't say anything, and I don't know, but he came back in a while, saying that the person who invited him didn't go."

"What did Mao Xianyou do a few days ago?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"He went with the bodyguard to deliver something to a big client. After walking for four days, he came back the day Mao Yin returned to the Southwest Litigation Firm," Guo said.

Du Jiuyan nodded and looked at King Gui, who shook his head.

"He has grown so big, is there anything he doesn't eat or has never eaten?" King Gui asked,
That's a good question, Du Jiuyan glanced at King Gui appreciatively.

King Gui is currently resentful of her appreciation.

"This, I can't think of it for a while," Mrs. Guo thought about it seriously, "Let me think about it?"

King Gui nodded, "Tell us when you think about it."

Guo should be.

"Then let's take our leave," Du Jiuyan got up, and Guo Shi asked, "Mr. Du, when can I bring the tiger back?"

"It's safe to put it in the ground, it can't be... kept in the yamen forever?" Guo's voice choked up.

Du Jiuyan said: "Tomorrow the people from the yamen will send you back."

"Mr. Du, was Huzi an accident?" Mrs. Guo couldn't accept it.

Du Jiuyan said: "Now that we know the cause of death, the result will definitely be quick."

Guo should be.

The two came out, went straight out of the city gate, first followed the official road to the river, and there was nothing special along the way, so they turned back to Longqing Temple.

"Can you find it?" King Gui asked.

Du Jiuyan was not sure, the two of them entered Longqing Temple and asked the novice monk, only to find out that Mao Yin did not pay homage when he came that day, but went directly to the backyard.

The backyard is lush and lush, and the broad beans planted by the monks of Longqing Temple have already bloomed at this moment.

"He went to the pavilion," King Gui pointed to the opposite gazebo. Du Jiuyan's face changed slightly. She was about to brush away the lush and blooming broad beans when she passed through the gazebo. She suddenly stopped and looked back at King Gui, and said, "I see. !"

King Gui asked, "Know what?"

"Fava bean disease!" Du Jiuyan explained the faba bean disease to him, "Now let's go and find out who asked Mao Yin to meet here that day!"

He went home suddenly, but came to Longqing Temple again, but the person asked him out but did not show up, "This person did it on purpose."

"Also, how did he know that Mao Yin had this disease? Even Guo didn't know about it." Du Jiuyan whispered.

King Gui followed her, and the two went to the front hall to inquire. There was a young novice who could remember Mao Yin's visit that day, but he couldn't remember who else had been there. The other senior brothers may have seen it, I will help you two to inquire one by one, and once I have clues and news, I will tell you immediately."

"Thank you!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and thanked King Gui out of Longqing Temple. Halfway to the city, he saw Mrs. Guo hurrying here with her skirt in hand, "My lord, Mr. Du."

Du Jiuyan stopped and looked at her, "Ma'am, you remember something, please speak slowly."

"There is one thing that I forgot. But when you said taboo just now, I remembered something. The Maojia Village in Shanghe Town has established a strange rule since the ancestors migrated here."

Du Jiuyan looked at the Guo family, "Is it true that the Mao family can't grow and eat broad beans?"

"Yes, yes!" Guo Shi said, "I also asked Mao Yin's father, and the people in the village said that the ancestors offended the Broad Dou Empress, that's why they let this happen."

"Is it related to this?"

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "There should be nothing wrong. People suffering from fava bean disease are not allowed to eat broad beans, even pollen. The ancestors of Maojia Village must have suffered such a loss."

"Are there any records about the ancestral hall in Maojia Village?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"There are village records," Guo said, "I'll go with you."

Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui, and King Gui said, "It's so bizarre, you must go and see it."

The three went to Maojia Village, Shanghe Town, and found Mao Yin's second uncle. In the future, Mao Yin's second uncle said: "... I knew this saying when I was young, so I have never eaten broad beans since I grew up. My father said, eat If we eat broad beans, we will offend the broad bean lady and let us get smallpox."

"That's why Maojia Village has passed down word of mouth from generation to generation, and no one dares to eat broad beans!"

Du Jiuyan said: "It has nothing to do with the Broad Bean Empress, because your Mao family's ancestors had favism disease. Most fava bean diseases are inherited."

"Will our surname Mao die if he eats broad beans?" Mao Yin's second uncle asked.

"No, not everyone will inherit it. I can only say that it is possible. One brother in a family may have one but not the other. It is not fixed." Du Jiuyan said: "Also, even if you get sick, you don't necessarily die, and you can still live. possible."

This is also related to the physical condition of the patient at the time, and Du Jiuyan was unable to give a detailed medical explanation.

I can only briefly talk about it.

"If you don't tell me, we don't know." Mao Yin's second uncle said: "Our village used to have a village chronicle, but it was very broken. I will go to the patriarch and show it to you."

As he spoke, he asked Du Jiuyan and the others to wait outside the ancestral hall, and ran to find the patriarch himself.

After a while, the patriarch arrived and took a new village chronicle and genealogy, "...this is a new order, and I don't know when the old one disappeared. I haven't read it carefully."

"However, the above content is similar, please take a look, my lord."

Du Jiuyan looked through it, but there was nothing he wanted, "I didn't mention why your ancestors made such a family motto when they moved here."

It is very common to grow broad beans in Huguang area.The people in Maojia Village didn't allow it. It must be because something terrible happened because of broad beans.

"Can't find the old village chronicles?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The patriarch nodded, "I haven't found it after searching for a long time, and I don't know if I lost it somewhere. Anyway, I have it now. If you lose the old one, just throw it away."

"Patriarch, don't you know why Mao's ancestors didn't let you grow broad beans?"

The patriarch shook his head, "It's always been the broad bean lady. After a long time, everyone stopped asking and acquiesced to this talk."

"But I remember that I saw it in the old village chronicles. But I don't know much, and I haven't memorized it all, so I'm not sure." The patriarch said.

Du Jiuyan nodded without further words, cupped his hands and said to the patriarch, "Thank you very much."

"Do you want to search?" King Gui looked at Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan looked at Mrs. Guo.

When the three of them left Maojia Village, Mrs. Guo looked at Du Jiuyan suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Du, what should we do now? Is this village chronicle important?"

"It's very important! No one in the entire Maojia Village knows the real reason why they don't grow or eat broad beans. Then, the person who got the village chronicle that recorded the reason is very suspicious." Du Jiuyan said: "Madam, Mao Yindi When he fell ill once, who knew about his illness?"

Mrs. Guo was startled, frowned and thought about it, and said: "At that time we had already moved to the city, so only his two elder brothers and our husband and wife knew about it."

"Mr. Du," Mrs. Guo is not stupid. After saying this, she suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked incredulously, "You...you don't suspect family members, do you?"

Du Jiuyan and Guo said as they walked: "You said that Mao Yin doesn't socialize with others and has few friends. Then there should not be many people who can ask him out and he will go out."

Guo's face was pale, and she looked at Du Jiuyan without speaking.

"You should go to Longqing Temple to see, its entire backyard is full of broad beans!" Du Jiuyan said.

There was a buzzing sound in Guo's mind, and he staggered for a while, not daring to suffocate and looked at Du Jiuyan, "That person deliberately invited my Huzi to Longqing Temple to make him sick?"

"Why? I, Huzi, don't associate with Biren, let alone make enemies."

Du Jiuyan looked at her and said in a low voice, "Let's go to your house first."

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Guo couldn't walk steadily, her legs were weak, Du Jiuyan helped her into the carriage and returned to the city.
