Jiang Si didn't get any useful information from Yu Jin, and it became a top priority to find out Lingwu Temple and Mrs. Xi Shixiu tofu.
Lingwu Temple was waiting for news from Jiang Ancheng for the time being. As for Tofu Xishi, many people knew her when Liu Di happened to meet her, so it should be easier to inquire about her.
Ah Fei didn't come back, so Jiang Xi handed over the task to Ah Man.
Aman's skills are good, and there is almost no flaw in changing into men's clothes, so he is the most suitable candidate.
Jiang seems to have thought about asking Jiang Zhan for help, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
Although I don't want to admit it, my second brother is more likely to do a disservice.
Before it was time for dinner, Aman brought back the news of Mrs. Xi Shixiu's Tofu.
"It's very good to inquire. The maid asked a random child and asked. Tofu Xishi lives in Wangjiazhuang not far from Liudi, and the household closest to the river at the end of the village is..." Aman chirped, It's kind of like making up for it.
I was so embarrassed to think that the girl was almost caught by the second son.
"However, that kid told me that tofu Xi Shi has become a mad woman, and he stopped selling tofu, and hid at home all day crying." At the end, Ah Man sighed sympathetically.
"Pack up, let's go to Wangjiazhuang tonight."
"Girl?" Aman was slightly surprised, met Jiang Si's calm eyes, nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but a little excitement grew in his heart.
That time the girl took her to visit Moyou Lake at night, and this time she took her to visit Wangjiazhuang at night. As a big maid, life is really wonderful.
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Ancheng also brought good news: "It's also a coincidence, your third uncle has really heard of Lingwu Temple."
Jiang Si had long expected to find out about the news of Mrs. Xi Shixiu tofu, but the news of Lingwu Temple was an unexpected joy.
"Where is Lingwu Temple?"
"In Qingniu Town on the outskirts of Beijing, although it is not as good as those famous monasteries in Beijing, the local incense is not bad." Speaking of this, Jiang Ancheng smiled, "Especially seeking marriage and childbirth is the most effective."
"Is that so." Jiang Si pondered for a while, and took the opportunity to ask Jiang Ancheng, "My daughter wants to go to Lingwu Temple to offer incense and stay for a few days."
The suburbs of Beijing are not as good as those in the city, and with the time for investigation and investigation, the trip will be smooth in three or two days. "
Jiang Ancheng nodded and agreed to his daughter's small request without hesitation: "Go, it's not too hot at this time, and the suburbs are brighter than the capital, so it will be more comfortable to live in. I'll tell your second brother when I come back. , let him accompany you."
It’s okay to relax, but safety can’t be ignored. If it wasn't for fear that his daughter would dislike him, he would have wanted to accompany him.
That's all, young people go out to play, and old men like him will be annoying.
Uncle Junmei, Uncle Jiang, thought silently.
"When are you planning to go?"
"Just these two days, first arrange what to bring." Jiang Shi did not give a clear time.
If everything goes well with Tofu Xishi, you can go to visit Lingwu Temple the day after tomorrow at the latest. If it doesn't go well, you will have to find another time.
Soon it was night.
On a midsummer night, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the flowers and shadows are floating. Ah Qiao sent Jiang Si and Ah Man to the door and said in a low voice, "Be careful, girl."
"Don't worry, I'm here." Man patted his chest to assure.
On the second night, the master and servant left Dongping Bo's mansion and headed towards the Jinshui River.
At this time, the Jinshui River is a lively time.
The wide river is full of boats.
There are three-story high-rise lanterns decorated with splendid lanterns, and there are also cruise boats flexibly cruising the river with red lanterns.
These boats and picturesque boats live in famous prostitutes of all sizes in the capital. At this time, it is the time to accept the benefactors of the beautiful scenery.
The Jinshui River is never night, and it is such a grand scene.
Aman glanced at him from afar, and saw the green willows swirling on both sides of the river, the shadows of boats in the river, the dazzling lights falling on the water surface as if countless pieces of gold were sprinkled, and the sound of faint music came from the wind, like a fairyland on earth.
"I didn't expect to look at the calm Jinshui River in the daytime, and it would be so lively at night." Ah Man sighed and noticed Jiang seemed to stop and asked, "Miss, why don't you leave?"
Wangjiazhuang was only not far from Liudi, but the two did not need to be close to the Jinshui River.
Jiang Siyao looked at Liudi Jinhe, and felt a pain in his heart.
The second brother drowned in this golden river.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Si smiled at Ah Man: "Let's go."
Under the leadership of Aman, the master and servant came to Wangjiazhuang.
"Girl, Tofu Xishi's house is on the other side. Shall we pass through the village or go around there?"
Looking at the dark village without any lights, Jiang Xi made a decision: "Let's go around."
Ordinary people are distressed about oil money and will turn off the lights early to sleep, but passing through the village will still increase many unknown dangers.
The night wind was blowing, and the sounds of frogs and insects were incessant. The master and servant did not carry lanterns, and could only walk on the unfamiliar dirt road beside the village by moonlight and starlight.
"Girl, the house on the hillside is the house of Tofu Xishi."
Unlike many homes that live in groups, the Tofu Xishi's home is built next to a hill, with no neighbors around.
Jiang Si walked to the dilapidated courtyard gate and paused slightly.
She didn't smell the unique sour smell emanating from the yard of people who grind tofu all the year round.
Hidden in the thick night, Jiang's complexion changed slightly.
If expected, this should not be the tofu Xishi's house!
"Girl, shall we go in?" Aman asked in a low voice, not understanding why Jiang Xi was so slow to move.
Jiang Si shook his head and sighed: "Aman, you were coaxed by that kid, this is not the house of Tofu Xishi."
"Ah? Why did the girl say that?"
Jiang Si was silent, she was thinking about whether to find the Tofu Xishi's family in a completely unfamiliar village in the dark, or go back first and ask about it tomorrow.
Intellectually speaking, it is a wise choice to go back now, but emotionally, it is really unwilling to return here without success.
What's more, if one day is delayed here, the Lingwu Temple will be delayed. One more day delay, it is very likely that a new girl will be murdered.
Jiang Si had a bad guess about the Prince of Changxing Hou.
From the conversation between the two servants, it can be known that seven or eight girls have been harmed by the Prince of Changxing in the past two years, but the time between Tofu Xi Shi's daughter's disappearance and the girl who was killed is very short.
This shows that the Prince of Changxing is becoming more and more perverted, and the interval between harming girls is likely to become shorter and shorter.
Of course, there may be many factors that her appearance in Changxing Hou's mansion stimulated the Changxing Hou Shizi.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xicai feels more and more pressed for time.
Jiang Si was struggling when the gate of the dilapidated courtyard not far away suddenly opened.
Ah Man jumped in horror, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Si to the side to hide.
A man came out of the yard and stopped at the door.
Jiang Si's eyes narrowed suddenly.
The man was carrying a kitchen knife!
