I am the county magistrate in Daming

Mu Qingtian got into Zhu Jingshou's carriage and lowered the curtain.

The thick red door of Wu's mansion opened slowly, like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, welcoming people in and sending ghosts out.

Wu Can took his wife and retreated respectfully to the side, and waited for Zhu Jingshou's carriage to pass before following him and filing in.

The carriage drove directly to the small courtyard where Zhu Jingshou stayed, Wu Shengye left first, Wu Can bowed behind and said to Mu Qingtian who got off the carriage first, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair."

If it weren't for the fact that the Wu family can grow big and do well, Wu Can's etiquette in dealing with people is impeccable.Zhu Jingshou said "the ground is not clean", so he asked the carriage to drive in and send Zhu Jingshou first.As for the imperial envoy, the lord has already spoken, he certainly can't let people go over, and he can't go beyond the rules by taking a carriage like the lord.

To be able to think of using a sedan chair instead of a carriage in such a short period of time, although Wu Can is old, he has a lot of insight.

Just as Mu Qingtian was about to walk over, he heard Zhu Jingshou who was still sitting in the carriage compartment say.

"No, the king and the imperial envoy won't stay for a long time. For convenience, let the imperial envoy stay in the king's courtyard."

Mu Qingtian wished he could turn around and close Zhu Jingshou's mouth.There is no reason for officials to live with the prince, is he afraid that the Wu family will not see the clues! !

Wu Can was stunned for a moment, and then showed a courteous smile: "My lord, Cao Min has already cleaned up a clean yard for the imperial envoy, don't bother."

Mu Qingtian didn't dare to contradict Zhu Jingshou in public here, so he could only stand aside in a respectful manner and watch Zhu Jingshou and Wu Can fight.

"My king said, let the imperial envoy stay."

"Yes, Caomin will arrange it now." Wu Can said in awe.

Mu Qingtian secretly rolled his eyes, in the end, he still used his power to overwhelm others.

When he was in the room, Zhu Jingshou waved away all the servants, hugged Mu Qingtian and circled around.

"Let, let me down!" Mu Qingtian blushed in shame.He was already in his thirties, yet he was lifted up high by a brat, disgraced!

"Don't let go." Zhu Jingshou lifted him up, "Qingqing didn't say a word to me on the way."

In order to make Zhu Jingshou feel more relaxed, Mu Qingtian put his hands on his shoulders to support himself, staring and said: "We are not in the same car, what should I say?"

"It's very simple." King Guai Liqing bent his elbow, lifted Mu Qingtian up in front of him, and kissed him on the lips.

"The imperial envoy has something important to discuss with the prince." He said seriously with a straight face.

Mu Qingtian was almost laughed at by the rascal Zhu Jingshou.

"Then tell me, what is the business?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his tongue and lightly brushed the beautifully colored bead under Zhu Jingshou's lips, "Is it such an important matter?"

"Master Mu is smart."

Wu Can asked Canniang to take Wu Shengsi back to the room and keep him under strict supervision, not to let him walk around the house recently.

"Have all the maids and servants chosen by Madam go?" Wu Can asked the Madam.

Da Furen held a Buddhist bead and nodded, "Everything is here, don't worry, my husband."

Wu Can relaxed his expression, and said softly to the eldest lady: "It's been hard for you these days, but I still can't do without you."

"It's what a concubine should do to relieve her husband's worries."

"I'll ask someone to take care of the raw silk side." Facing his wife who had been married for decades, Wu Can suddenly felt guilty.

"My husband is kind to Shengsi, and I can see it. I thank the master first on behalf of Shengsi."

"Well, we are all a family, so thank you for what you say."

After seeing off the eldest lady, Wu Can turned around and went to the ancestral hall.

"Bastard!"

Wu Shengye's face was turned away from the beating, and that side immediately became red and swollen, with clear five finger marks floating out.

"What's wrong with the child, why did my father beat me!" Wu Shengye turned his head unwillingly, covering his face and looking at his father.

"You still have the face to ask!"

Another slap.

"Don't change your mind, you don't have to go to the silkworm farm tomorrow!"

"Kneel here for me, kneel in front of your ancestors, and leave when you know your mistakes!"

Wu Can was so angry that he walked away without even looking at his son.

Wu Shengye put down his hands, stared at the ranking in front of him, chuckled, and asked, "Is that all right, big brother?"

"He is the legitimate son." Wu Can stepped over the threshold and closed the door of the ancestral hall heavily.

The ranks on the altar looked down mercilessly at Wu Shengye who was kneeling on the ground, as if laughing at his overreaching.Just because he exposed Wu Shengsi's unbearable side to others, Wu Can would do this to him.

Not reconciled!I can not be reconciled! ! !

"Wu Shengye was punished?"

Duoduo poured his cheap godfather a cup of tea and nodded quickly.

Coincidentally, in order not to cause trouble, the eldest lady specially selected servants who had just entered the army mansion to serve Mu Qingtian and the others. Among them, there happened to be a lot of money, which was unintentionally planted in order to save them the difficulty of contacting.

"You did a good job." Zhu Jingshou took out the broken silver and wanted to reward Qian Duoduo.

Unexpectedly, the money-hungry Duoduo took over and pushed all of his brains in front of Mu Qingtian.

Daddy Mu was very relieved that his cheap son had grown up, his temperament had changed, and he knew how to be filial to his father.

"It's not suitable for me to bring so much money. My godfather will keep it for me first, and then give it to me when I go back."

……

Sure enough, it's all fake, the little brat is still the same brat.

Zhu Jingshou laughed out loud and patted Duoduo on the head.This child, with his demeanor back then, would never treat himself badly.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it for you." Mu Qingtian reluctantly said, "Speaking of business, where did you see that Wu Shengye was punished?"

"In the ancestral hall." Duoduo said obediently, "Wu Can is very angry, but I don't know why he punished Wu Shengye."

Zhu Jingshou thought for a while, and speculated, "It might be at the door, Qingqing, do you still remember?"

Mu Qingtian frowned, kicked Zhu Jingshou's calf, covered his mouth and leaned over to bite his ear: "There are children who can do it, let's restrain ourselves!"

Duoduo grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and licked them, blinked and said, "It's okay, godmother, I know all about it."

...What do you know, you brat!

Zhu Jingshou pulled Mu Qingtian's hand and said innocently: "Look, Duoduo doesn't mind."

"Don't interrupt." Mu Qingtian shook his head speechlessly, "You mean what Wu Shengye said at the door?"

"should be."

Wu Can is a person who is obsessed with the past, sticks to the rules, and pays the most attention to "ethics".Although Wu Shengye reminded Wu Shengsi with good intentions—not necessarily good intentions, maybe he deliberately wanted everyone to see Wu Shengsi make a fool of himself, but Wu Can still felt that he broke the rules in front of Zhu Jingshou.

"It's weird."

Both Wu Shengsi and Wu Shengye made mistakes, why Wu Can only punished one person?

In fact, Mu Qingtian basically believed that Wu Can was the murderer, and this time he came to Wu Can's house just to put pressure on Wu Can, forcing him to show his fox tail.

It's just that he still doesn't know the identity of the corpse now, even if he catches Wucan by tricks, it is very likely that he will reverse the case due to insufficient evidence and no motive for committing the crime.

"Does Wu Shengye have a good relationship with his father?" Mu Qingtian asked.

Duoduo tilted his eyes up, recalling what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

"Neither good nor bad."

Wu Can hand over the silkworm farm to Wu Shengye, which shows that he still trusts Wu Shengye's ability.But Wu Can has always been very strict with Wu Shengye, and the relationship between the two is not like a father and son, but more like a boss and a servant.

"Maybe we can start with Wu Shengye." Zhu Jingshou suggested.

"I think it works."

Dianxiang heard that the second son was punished to think about his mistakes in the ancestral hall, and he was anxious like an ant on the fire. He always wanted to find an excuse to approach the ancestral hall and visit Wu Shengye.But now she is only Wu Shengsi's concubine and cannot enter the ancestral hall at all.

"Trash!" She dropped the medicine bowl in her hand and twisted Wu Shengsi's arm severely.

Wu Shengsi looked at her and smiled as if she was not afraid of pain.

Canniang rushed in, slapped her firmly, and protected Wu Shengsi behind her.

"You dare to hit me!" Dianxiang screamed.

Canniang frowned, and said coldly: "Do your part well, don't have any wrong thoughts."

Ah?Crooked mind?

Dianxiang suddenly remembered that she went to be Wu Shengsi's concubine not for the sake of glory and wealth, but for her second son.

Before Mu Qingtian had a clue about the identity of the corpse, the Wu family started to make trouble again.Wu Shengsi went crazy again, picked up all the things that could be smashed at hand, and threw them all at Canniang.And standing by his side was actually Dianxiang.

Can Niang stood where she was and looked at the face of a villain who lit incense, mocking her for being stupid, put down the porridge in her hand and walked out.

"Don't be afraid, my husband, the bad woman has already left." Dian Xiangyin smiled in comfort for Wu.

After hearing the news, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou rushed over avoiding the Wu family's eyes and ears.

"So that's how it is." Mu Qingtian smiled playfully.

"Go back first." Seeing Can Niang leave, Zhu Jingshou picked up Mu Qingtian and flashed back to their yard.

The news of Canniang's falling out of favor spread throughout the Wu Mansion almost overnight. Many people felt sorry for Canniang, but most of them gloated at her misfortune.

Wu Shengsi no longer trusts Canniang, but regards burning incense as a life-saving straw, and obeys her.

Three days later, Wu Shengye came out of the ancestral hall, unkempt and haggard.The third lady was very distressed, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook a supplementary meal.But she is not stupid, and she didn't hate Wu Can because of it. She lay in Wu Can's arms at night, crying with tears in her eyes, saying that Wu Shengye was really disappointing.

Wu Can dotes on the third wife, so of course he comforted him a lot, and then he didn't embarrass Wu Shengye anymore, and returned the silkworm farm to him.

On this day, Wu Shengye was instructing his subordinates to replace mulberry leaves in the silkworm farm when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind.

"Master Imperial Envoy." Wu Shengye hurriedly saluted.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a few words."

"Yes, the grassroots will know everything."

Not far away, a servant saw Wu Shengye leaving with Mu Qingtian, immediately put down what he was doing, and secretly went to Wu Can's study.

"The second son was called away by the imperial envoy? Can you see clearly?" Wu Can's eyelids twitched, and he continued to flip through the ledger in his hand.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Go down and get the reward."

"Thank you sir."

Wu Shengye seemed a little cramped along the way, looking around all the time, obviously hiding something in his heart.

Soon, Mu Qingtian asked about this matter.

The corpse was not some nameless corpse, but a businessman who came here to discuss business with Wu Can.

Wu Shengye said that he had seen his father with this person, and they seemed to be discussing something in secret.He once eavesdropped once, and was reprimanded severely after being discovered by Wu Can.

"Why did you hide such an important matter!" Mu Qingtian was furious.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, forgive me." Wu Shengye knelt on the ground, "Although Caomin knows who that person is, Caomin can guarantee that his death has absolutely nothing to do with our Wu family."

The businessman who came to visit died in the cellar of the Wu family for no apparent reason. If the Wu family did not do it, who would believe it?

It was precisely based on this idea that Wu Shengye concealed the matter.

"Caomin admired his father since he was a child, and he could never be such a person!" Wu Shengye said sonorously, filled with righteous indignation.

"Oh? What about you?"

Wu Shengye was stunned.

"What, what?"

"I want to say, since you think Wu Can will not kill people? What about you?" Mu Qingtian's eyes sharpened, "Will you kill people?"

Wu Shengye's expression showed a little panic, but his tone was calm, and he said, "Your Excellency is clearly aware that the grass people have no reason to kill father's friends."

"Don't be nervous." Mu Qingtian changed his face in a second, "I'm just talking."

After asking a few more questions, Mu Qingtian let Wu Shengye leave.

Zhu Jingshou came out from behind the screen, looked at the stool Wu Shengye sat on just now with disgust, and kicked it away.A hypocrite, a taste of hypocrisy.

There is also the temptation to be smart.

"Take it easy, that's someone else's property."

Mu Qingtian refilled himself a cup of tea.

Zhu Jingshou smiled and put his arms around Mu Qingtian, and took the half sip of tea from his mouth.

"This king wants to hear you say this sentence in other places."

"Then think about it." Mu Qingtian gave him a vicious look, and coughed to wipe off the tea that leaked from the corner of his mouth.

The corpse was someone Wu Can knew, but this was just Wu Shengye's one-sided statement, and there was no evidence.Every sentence of Wu Shengye alludes to Wu Can as the murderer, which is in line with the unfriendly relationship between their father and son.

"It's better to have a plan."

A few days later, An Bai suddenly led troops to Wu Can's house, and surrounded Wu Can's yard completely.

Wu Can's illness seemed to be getting worse, he was so sick that he couldn't straighten his back, so he could only walk out of the room with the help of the eldest lady.

"Cough cough cough..."

"I don't know my lord, cough cough, what does this cough mean."

"I have already found out." Mu Qingtian said with his arms akimbo, "The silkworm god killed the person, but you are afraid of things being exposed, so you thought of dismembering the corpse to destroy the traces."

An Bai just got the prince's order to lead troops to arrest the "true murderer", but he didn't expect to hear Mu Qingtian's nonsense, and couldn't help retorting immediately: "My lord, during the time I estimated for dismembering the body, Wu Can has always been In the lady's room, never went out."

The always indifferent eldest lady also took the initiative to stand up and said: "I can testify by myself."

Mu Qingtian was very embarrassed, turned into anger from embarrassment, and glared at Da Furen and An Bai.

"My officer said Wu Can is the murderer and he is! You are also an accomplice!"

An Bai was so anxious to go up to fight Mu Qingtian, but because Zhu Jingshou was standing beside him, he could only turn his head angrily.

"From today onwards, no one is allowed to approach the yard, nor Wu Can, without my order." Mu Qingtian ordered the Da Furen and Wu Can to be escorted into the room, and followed him.

At the same time, he also released three servants in the prison.

The change happened so fast that even Wu Shengye didn't react to it.But soon, he became the pillar of the Wu family, supporting the Wu family's business instead of Wu Can.

Of course Mu Qingtian wouldn't really believe in "The Silkworm God kills people", he just found it strange that Wu Can's body decayed so quickly after only a few days.

He purposely separated Wu Can from the others, and asked the officials of the county government to sneak in pretending to be soldiers to diagnose and treat Wu Can.

"In the words of my lord, if the silver needle turns black, it means poisoning." Wu Zuo carefully took the silver needle and showed it to Zhu Jingshou and Mu Qingtian.

"Cough, cough, cough, poison?"

Obviously, Wu Can himself didn't know about it.

"Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Mu Qingtian asked.

"Try your best, little one."

Wu Zuo walked over, and carefully inspected Wu Can's forehead, tongue, and the back of his neck...

"Wait." His complexion changed, and he rubbed off a little yellowish powder from Wu Can's collar.

"This is!!"

During the autopsy, he also found such yellow powder in the nails of the corpse.But the amount of powder on the corpse is very small, it should only be scratched, and it is not fatal.

Wu Can was still immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't realize what Wu Zuo said at all.

The eldest lady tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou looked at each other, and told him to do it.

It is basically a certainty that people are killed by silkworms.The most important thing now is how many people are involved and who is going to poison Wu Can.

Wu Can not die now.Wu Zuo found out that this kind of poison is not uncommon, and it is a chronic poison. Even a large dose cannot kill people in an instant.

Mu Qingtian asked the doctor to prescribe a life-continuing prescription to stabilize Wu Can's condition.

Wu Shengye's voice became louder and louder, faintly resembling a patriarch.Wu Shengsi and Canniang were placed under house arrest in their own yard, and they had no contact with outsiders at all, except that Dianxiang was free to move about.

"Second Young Master." In the darkness, a figure quietly slipped into Wu Shengye's room through the back door.

When he took off his hat and revealed his face, he turned out to be Er Niu who had just returned from prison!

"Did the government say when to take the master away?" Wu Shengye looked at Er Niu who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Er Niu broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "I'm so incompetent, I didn't find out."

"The official code in the prison said that the imperial envoy insisted that the silkworm god killed the murderer, but because no one had seen the silkworm flower empress, there was no way to convict Wu Cang."

"But the little one also inquired about one thing!"

Wu Shengye is not as calm as he appears, if Wu Can live forever, he will never have peace.Now the Wu family is his, as for Wu Shengsi and Canniang, he can drive them out of the mansion for any reason.

"My little one overheard that on the night of the twenty-seventh day, the prince and the imperial envoy were going to the streets."

Wu Shengye suddenly had an idea.

The imperial envoys all said that it was the silkworm god who killed people, so he will use the title of real silkworm god to kill people and show everyone.

Twenty-seven, Haizheng.

Mu Qingtian came out of Wu's mansion leisurely, stopped and walked, walked around and walked to the disused bridge in Anji County.

"The Wu family is not benevolent, the Wu family is not benevolent!" The ghostly voice suddenly sounded from the bridge.

Mu Qingtian was startled, and hid behind Zhu Jingshou, watching the ghost figure that suddenly appeared on the broken bridge, his upper and lower teeth trembling.

"You, you, who are you!"

"Presumptuous!" Gui Yingyin said angrily in a high-pitched voice.

"I am Empress Silkworm Flower, when you see her, hurry up and bow down!"

Zhu Jingshou's expression was tense, and he drew his sword from his waist and placed it in front of him.

Seeing Zhu Jingshou's actions, the ghost seemed to be a little more excited, and kept erratic, saying: "Wu Can can kill my people, damn it!"

"I'm just teaching him a lesson. Ordinary imperial envoys, if you know what to do, send Wu Can to hell!"

"You are Empress Silkworm Flower?" Mu Qingtian probed.

"Exactly."

"You really are?" Mu Qingtian repeatedly confirmed.

Guiying was very angry and asked: "Could it be that you are doubting me! If you disrespect me again, I will also punish you!"

"Oh." Mu Qingtian swept away the previous fear, walked out from behind Zhu Jingshou, patted the hem of his clothes, and said lazily, "It's good that it's Empress Silkworm Flower. I'm looking for Empress Silkworm Flower."

Zhu Jingshou retracted his sword sharply, and said sharply, "I'm not going to take her down yet!"

"Varied?!"

The officers and soldiers appeared from all directions like real ghosts, and went directly to the bridge to subdue the "Empress Silkworm Flower".

In the afternoon, in the yard, Mu Qingtian casually squeezed a piece of fruit and threw it into his mouth, rubbing his feet against Zhu Jingshou's side.

"Say, who will be entertaining us?"

Everything was a trap set by Mu Qingtian, he deliberately let the three people in the cell hear his and Zhu Jingshou's movements.The real accomplice will definitely tell his master about this matter, Mu Qingtian only needs to act out a scene of "please enter the urn, and catch the turtle in the urn".

An Bai walked up to the bridge with a dark face, and lifted the white cloth wrapped around "Empress Silkworm Flower".

Dianxiang's frightened face appeared in front of everyone.

"Let's take it to the county government office, and ask Wu Shengye to come over tomorrow morning." Mu Qingtian yawned, not caring at all.

An Bai slumped his shoulders, sincerely sent Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou away respectfully.

It turned out that he was the one who was stupid from beginning to end.Mu Qingtian said that he knew who the real culprit was, but there was no evidence.Now, here's the evidence.

The moment he saw Dianxiang in the lobby, Wu Shengye was in a mess.Stretching his body, he rushed towards Dianxiang suddenly, grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up, and said viciously: "How dare you betray me?"

Where has Dianxiang seen Wu Shengye like this before, tears fell immediately, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Slave, there is no servant girl."

Mu Qingtian took the time to sit in the lobby and watched the farce below, and said, "What is Second Young Master doing? What do you mean by 'sell me'?"

It was only then that Wu Shengye realized that he had fallen into Mu Qingtian's trick.

"My lord, this girl aspires to glory and wealth, and her heart pleases the common people, but she designed to sleep in Wu Shengsi's bed." Wu Shengye smiled and shook off some incense, proudly looking at Mu Qingtian.Then, he suddenly kicked Wu Can who had already lost consciousness.After kicking, he was still angry, and made up for several more kicks.

There was a ferocious and regretful smile on his face, and he didn't look like a gentleman at all.

"Father, are you still stubborn!"

Mu Qingtian shouted: "Take him down!"

Wu Shengsi was hit on the head with a stick, and the blood flowed down the brow bone, dripping to the ground and exploding the resentment in his heart for so many years.

Wu Can fell to the ground, staring at Wu Can with wide eyes.He could no longer speak a word, and his chest heaved like an old bellows.Others can only tell from the shape of his mouth that he seems to be saying "unfilial son".

"My lord, my lord." Wu Shengye was escorted to his knees, and said, "Now the grass people have figured it out."

"Oh? What do you want to understand?"

"The grassroots should not care about family affection and cover up the murderer!"

Wu Shengye spoke righteously.

The author has something to say: Happy New Year’s Day, everyone ~ Keep working hard in the new year!

small theater:

Mu Qingtian: I wish everyone a prosperous and safe year.

Zhu Jingshou: I wish everyone a full house of children and grandchildren, and embrace the two in three years.

Mu Qingtian:? ? ?How do I feel that you are connoting me?
