Mrs. Wang quickly stopped Wang Guanhai and spat: "Bah, bah, you crow's mouth, I promise you, I won't force you anymore."
"Mom is still kind to me." Wang Guanhai pulled up Mrs. Wang's sleeves, but Mrs. Wang pulled her away in disgust: "Okay, how old are we? Now that something weird is happening between the Qin family and the Wang family, the Qin family Leaving aside the fact that the young lady is ill, let’s just say that the recent murder case between our two families is really mysterious, as if someone was premeditating it. Hai’er, tell me, have you offended anyone?”
She still knew about her son. On the surface, he was a talented and beautiful man. He was kind to others and loved the unmarried women from Poyang County, but in fact he was a playboy.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the young lady from the Qin family had a good family background and was the most beautiful woman in Poyang County, her son would not have wanted to dissolve the concubines at home and settle down to marry a wife and have children.
I only want to treat the Miss Qin family wholeheartedly and treat her case with justice, but the Miss Qin family does not have such a good life. She hurt her son like this. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want such a stupid woman. There will be a better son waiting for him in the future. Queue to marry.
"No, mother, although your son has done a lot of bad things, he still knows how to behave properly. He has never done anything that deceives good people and does evil, and he has never offended any noble family. Just us. This place is located in a remote place, far away from the capital. Usually, no dignitaries from the capital come here. I don’t think it’s because of offending others... "
"Still quibbling..." Before Mrs. Wang could finish speaking, she stretched out her hand and slapped him hard on the head. She gasped and said angrily: "It's not to offend anyone, but how could such a weird thing happen in our family?" , you must have caused something you shouldn't have caused outside, and now that you are injured, I won't settle the score for you. After you recover, you will find a way to solve it for me, do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, I heard it, I heard it, oh, mother, it hurts so much. My injuries haven't healed yet," Wang Guanhai saw Mrs. Wang reaching out to hit him again, and hurriedly endured the pain and shrank inward.
"Hmph, just listen. If you cause trouble for me every day, please give me some peace at home. You can't let me go out for three days."
"Oh, mother, aren't you trying to suffocate your son to death?"
…
"Uncle, I heard that you know a lot in Poyang County. Have you ever heard of an expert in alchemy?" Ye Xingtong asked tentatively.
She asked all the way, and finally heard that the owner of the ceramics shop on West Street was knowledgeable, so she and Wu Ye came to take a look at the opportunity to give it a try.
Wu Ye stood aside quietly, pursed his lips, and showed no expression.
When the owner of the utensils store came, he thought Ye Xingtong was here to buy porcelain. He was quite enthusiastic at first, but when he heard that she was asking someone, he didn't want to talk to her anymore. His expression became serious and he waved his hand impatiently: "Go back where you are. , we only sell porcelain here, not news."
"Uncle, we are really in an emergency. Can you please tell us? We will definitely remember your kindness."
"Who remembers who after we've disappeared in the blink of an eye? Do you think I'm a fool? Come on, don't delay our business." The proprietor of the utensils store said disdainfully: "Little girl, you are so young, but you bring your brother out to fool around. , it’s better to go home and have dinner as soon as possible.”
The proprietor of the utensils winked at the store clerk, and someone came immediately.
"You..." Ye Xingtong was still trying to speak, but was kicked out by the store clerk.
"Hey, why are you people like this!" Ye Xingtong was kicked out, and a large group of people came to watch, feeling even more angry.
These people are so cynical. Can they just open a small porcelain shop and do whatever they want to do
Wu Ye covered his mouth with his hands, coughed and said, "Forget it, there's no need to ask anymore."
Hearing the change in Wu Ye's voice, Ye Xingtong knew that he was holding back his laughter. He glared at him angrily and sneered, "Why didn't I see you helping me just now? It's fine now. I was kicked out because of you. I haven’t been this angry in all these years. I was kicked out. I was so embarrassed that I left.”
Not wanting to talk to Wu Ye anymore, Ye Xingtong walked in front angrily. She, the majestic princess, could be so angry in such a remote place.
Wu Ye looked at Ye Xingtong's angry back, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was shallow and faint, but it was enough to make men, women and children fall in love and never forget it.
"I heard that not far further west, then turning north, there was an old man who told people's fortunes. Some said that he lived for more than a hundred years, and some said that he lived for more than two hundred years. Until now, no one can confirm how long he lived. I think he should have the answer we want. Let's go there." After asking some more people, Ye Xingtong finally targeted the old gentleman who told fortunes. .
"Okay." Wu Ye said, and after a while he added: "The owner of that porcelain shop will never be humane."
"Oh, what do you have to do with me?" Ye Xingtong replied naturally, then turned around and said in surprise: "What? Is that boss inhumane?"
It took Ye Xingtong a long time to digest this matter. He just kicked them out, but Wu Ye actually dehumanized him for the rest of his life. It seems that he can't offend him in the future!
But this is too cruel, why don't you let that man die of panic! What an insult to a man.
"You said you were too cruel. In fact, they didn't do anything wrong. We adults just don't remember the faults of villains. If a dog bites you, do you also bite it? Just ignore that kind of person. , don’t pay too much attention to him.”
"It's me who's meddling in other people's business. I'm going to undo Shi's magic right now." Wu Ye turned around and was about to go back, his face changed. Was he doing it for her? Seeing that she was angry, I wanted to give her a sigh of relief, but who knew, they wouldn't appreciate it at all.
It was his own fault, and he would never care about her affairs again.
"Hey, no, I was wrong. It was just a joke. Don't be angry?" Ye Xingtong couldn't help laughing. The angry Wu Ye was actually very cute.
Hearing Ye Xingtong's laughter, Wu Ye's face darkened, and he quickened his steps to walk ahead.
He really didn't want to deal with Ye Xingtong anymore.
Ye Xingtong couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the porcelain shop owner being inhumane for the rest of his life, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I know you did that to that boss because of me, but that kind of punishment is too much..."
Before Ye Xingtong finished speaking, Wu Ye stopped and stared at her with a pair of eyes as deep as lake water, refusing to say a word.
Ye Xingtong was dumbfounded by him and couldn't help but said: "Don't be so cool, we can have a good talk."
"Puch", Ye Xingtong laughed out loud again, and Ye Xingtong could no longer maintain his serious expression.
"I don't want to see you again." Wu Ye stared at Ye Xingtong and said, turned around and left without looking back.
"Wait for me! Don't be so heartless!"
…
County Yamen
"Master, what do you think of this case?" The county magistrate, wearing plain clothes, sat on the upper seat and put down the half-read scroll in his hand.
Look at the shrewd master waiting beside you.
The county magistrate was probably in his forties, with a kind and peaceful face that made people get close to him involuntarily, but the sad look between his brows was full of worry.
With his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, it can be seen that this is a good official who is at least superficially close to the people.
"Back to your lord, I feel that I have been investigating the case for so long and still have no clue. The matter is indeed a bit tricky. I'm afraid it's not as simple as I thought. It will be even more difficult to find the murderer." The master lowered his head and said.
"I also know that it is not easy. In the three years I have been in Poyang County, this is the first time that I have encountered such a difficult case. I have not been able to find out it for a month. I will be leaving office in two days. How can I be among the people? Stand in front of me!" The county magistrate looked at the piles of recent unjust cases and couldn't calm down for a long time.
He had been working conscientiously, building water conservancy projects in Poyang County and helping the people and the poor, which earned him a good reputation. Later, on the recommendation of the Minister of Household Affairs, the emperor allowed him to leave Poyang County and be promoted to the governor of a state. However, he never expected that just before he When he was about to ascend to a high position, God gave him such a big blow.
"Sir, you are about to leave office. You must not delay this matter, otherwise it will delay your bright future. Unfortunately, the perpetrators in the past did not leave any evidence of the crime. I only heard people say that a traceless person was seen. The trace of the trace has left us without a clue for so many days, with no way to investigate. Yesterday there was evidence of this matter. I think the truth will soon be revealed." The master's eyes moved to a piece of paper that was torn off on the table. On the red cloth, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As long as the owner of this rag can be found, there is a high possibility that the murderer can be found."
"There are many people wearing red clothes, how can we be sure who they are?" The magistrate looked at the master with a calm gaze.
"Sir, you can tell by the material of this cloth that it is definitely not worn by ordinary poor people. Judging from the style, it is undoubtedly a woman's clothes. Although everyone at the time did not see the perpetrator clearly, according to them, the shadow was short in stature. , with a thin body, it is more certain that she is a woman. In this way, the scope of our investigation has become smaller." The master said, a light flashed in his eyes, although the matter has not been found out clearly, but with this piece of evidence , the next thing will become much easier. As long as the owner of that piece of clothing is found, the problem will be solved, and he will also get a lot of benefits.
"Your analysis is very reasonable. This piece of rag is most likely the maid of the Wang family who was killed by the murderer at that time. Unexpectedly, the maid pulled the murderer before she died so that the murderer could not leave in time. After pulling, this piece of cloth was left. Rag cloth, master, please pass on my command to search for the murderer throughout the county." The magistrate clapped his hands and stood up, shouting loudly.
Now it's better, he can find out the truth of the matter, and finally can leave in good faith.
"yes."
