Nongmen Shenjue

Mu Qingyan didn't get any valuable information from the teahouse, but the waiter in the teahouse reminded him.If you want to know how many people died in the city and who died, there is no better place than the coffin shop.

A leaf blinded him, but he didn't remember it for a while.

Guanglin Mansion is very large, and there are several coffin shops, large and small, and he doesn't plan to go there himself, since there is no rush anyway.

At dusk, Feng Wu and Bao Dayou brought back news.

Mu Qingyan settled today's wages for them, and said: "Tomorrow, you go to the coffin shop in the city. I want to know who died since August last year, especially those that are close to various festivals."

Feng Wu and Bao Dayou also noticed that although the origin of Mr. Mu in front of him was a mystery, he was undoubtedly investigating the case, and even suspected that there were more than four dead.The two of them had no intention of inquiring about other things, and felt contented as they touched a bunch of copper coins in their hands.

"Mr. Mu, don't worry, the two of us will investigate tomorrow." Bao Dayou expressed his opinion immediately.

Mu Qingyan felt that these two people were really good. After thinking about it, he gave them another tael of silver: "You can be more flexible in your methods. If you do well, I will reward you!"

"Young master, don't worry!" The two couldn't hide their joy.

After eating dinner, Mu Qingyan began to sort out the information brought back by the two of them.

Wang Ergou's family relationship is very simple. His parents died early and he has no close relatives. He grew up with his elder brother.His elder brother Wang Dagou, 26 and seven years old, is also a street rogue. He once married a wife, but because he couldn't stand the beating and scolding, and his family was poor, he ran away with others.

People like the two brothers are naturally not liked by the neighbors.This time Wang Ergou had an accident, and Wang Dagou couldn't even organize the funeral. Fortunately, the neighbors helped him, otherwise the burial would be difficult.Among other things, Wang Dagou really loves his younger brother, after all, he was brought up since he was a child, and he is the only relative. When Wang Ergou died, Wang Dagou was very irritated.

In the winter month of last year, Wang Dagou quarreled with someone, came up fiercely, and killed him.Because it was a fight in the street, he was locked up immediately. The case was simple and clear, fighting and killing, and beheaded according to the law.Now people are still in prison, waiting for Qiu Zhan!

The two brothers are often on the street, because they are rascals and have mixed contacts, so they will not come for analysis for the time being.

Nine-year-old Yu Xiaofu is the only child in the Yu family. There are parents, grandmother, and two older sisters in the family.

Yu's family runs a soy sauce shop, and their life is quite stable.The Yu family has a harmonious relationship with the surrounding neighbors, and there is no enmity with them. The only flaw is that the Yu family and his wife often quarrel. Drill into the hook bar.

Bao Dayou also inquired about the woman who was rumored to have had an affair with Yu Yuxing, and said that the government had also investigated and found no valuable clues.

The third deceased was the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. The Yang family and Yu's family were only one street apart, and they were the two families with the closest addresses among the victims.According to the neighbors, there is no contact between the two families, and there seems to be a gap. The price of Yu’s soy sauce shop is low, and most of the nearby residents buy soy sauce here, but the Yang family never goes there, preferring to take a detour to other shops.

The Yang family has two brothers, the eldest son Yang Darong and the second son Yang Errong.After the brothers got married, they separated the yard with a wall, and the family lived on one side. The daughter-in-law of Yang Darong's family died.The daughter-in-law of the Yang family has been married for three or four years, and she has never been happy, anxious, and often looks for some folk remedies to eat.

On that day, there was another wandering doctor walking in the streets and alleys. The daughter-in-law of the Yang family heard the sound and asked about the fertility medicine, so she bought a pack.Unexpectedly, if this medicine is used, the person will die.The government searched for the Youfang doctor, but he couldn't find it. It is basically certain that Youfang doctor is the murderer.

Yang Darong has a grocery store, and there are about ten acres of land outside the city, so he is quite prosperous.His younger brother Yang Errong's family also owns more than a dozen acres of land, which they sublet to others and only collect rent. Besides, they have a noodle stall, which is worse than Yang Darong's, and it is also great in the eyes of the neighbors.

It is said that the original Yang family was very ordinary, and everything benefited from the daughter of the Yang family, Yang Sanniang.

Yang Sanniang was born in a humble family, but she was born with good looks. She was a child bride-in-law for other families since she was a child, but her husband died before he could grow up.Later, her husband's family felt that Yang Sanniang was too good-looking to stay, so they simply allowed her to remarry.Although she married a widower, her family was quite wealthy. Unfortunately, Yang Sanniang was later beaten to death by her husband, who was also sentenced to beheaded. Almost all the family wealth fell into the hands of the Yang brothers.

According to common sense, the current customs, rules and even the law will not have this result.When a woman marries and obeys her husband, her mother's family can at most get back the dowry, and in most cases there is no way to get back the dowry, even people and property belong to the husband's family.

Yang Sanniang's husband is an orphan and has no relatives or friends. The property should be confiscated. The reason why it was given to the Yang family brothers is for compensation and appeasement, and also for the funeral expenses of the Yang family.

If so, the official was kind.

Yang Sanniang died seven years ago, and the case has been settled.

Mu Qingyan circled the name "Yang Sanniang", just like Wang Ergou, and put it in pending.

Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing the dark, the Yang family brothers got a lot of money, which made Mu Qingyan wonder if there was any conspiracy back then.But it's just a suspicion.

The fourth old mother of the Fan family who died had a good reputation among the neighbors, and she was a kind and kind old woman.

The Fan family is a big family. Although Fan's mother has only one son, Fan Wenjin, there are several Fan family uncles.The Fan family set up a bamboo paper workshop with the strength of the family, which not only gave the family members a place to make a living, but also had spare money for their children to study.Fan Wenjin is one of the beneficiaries.

Fan Wenjin was selected as a scholar and opened a Mongolian school, which greatly changed his reputation and status.

Fan Wenjin is forty years old, has one wife and two concubines, five children, and a maidservant serving him at home.Outsiders all know that Fan Wenjin is a filial piety, he never falls in the morning and evening, and obeys his mother's words.Fan's mother died tragically, and the blow to Fan Wenjin can be imagined. He fell ill in bed immediately, and the Mentorship School was also closed.

In fact, it can't stop.

Nowadays, filial piety is emphasized, especially for people like Fan Wenjin, who have to observe filial piety for three years after their mother dies.Of course, teaching and educating people is different from being an official, but during the hot filial piety period, one must keep the door behind closed doors, otherwise something goes wrong, which will have a great impact on those who are famous.

Mu Qingyan compared the addresses of the four deceased, and found that except for Wang Ergou, the other three lived in the south of the city.The Yu family and the Yang family are relatively close and know each other, but the relationship is not good.Mother Fan is an old man who has lived in the south of the city for a long time, so she should be very familiar with the south of the city, so she may also know other deceased people, but she has no contacts.

Apart from others, Mu Qingyan still found one thing in common, and that was the impact of the death of the deceased on the family.

The death of Wang Ergou made his elder brother Wang Dagou very painful, which led to his uncontrollable anger and killing someone.

Yu Xiaofu was the hope of all the Yu family, and the death of the only grandson almost took away all the vitality of the family.

The daughter-in-law of the Yang family is carefully selected by the Yang family, especially the son of the Yang family who likes it very much, and is also the hope of the Yang family to breed future generations.Although she can marry again in the future, it cannot be said that there is no blow to the Yang family.Especially when the Yue family loves their daughter, it may also lead to constant disputes.

Fan Wenjin was the one who suffered the most from the death of the old mother of the Fan family, whether it was emotionally or profit-wise.

Mu Qingyan couldn't help guessing: Could it be that the real target of revenge is not the dead, but the dead are just intermediaries?

So, where are these family ties?

Early the next morning, Feng Wu and Bao Dayou came to report first, and then they still split up.

Mu Qingyan was not idle either, he still went to the teahouse.

"Mr. Mu, you're here." Shunzi, the waiter at the teahouse, was already familiar with him, and greeted him when he saw him from a distance.

"Biluochun."

"Mr. Mu, wait a moment, he will come right away." Shunzi led him to the upper seat.

After the tea was delivered, Shunzi didn't leave immediately.He had figured it out, the young man in front of him would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so he must have something to inquire about when he came to the teahouse.

Mu Qingyan did ask something, but it was a bit unexpected.

"Who is the chief catcher of the county government office? What is his temperament like?"

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The catcher of the county yamen's surname is Yan, Yan Lang, maybe 25 or six, he is very easy-going, likes to make friends, he is also righteous, and has extraordinary martial arts skills. So he is not from the Guanglin Mansion. People, who came here a few years ago, seem to have some kind of background, and when they came, they became the chief catcher, and they were very good at solving cases."

"Oh?" Unexpectedly, all he heard was praise, which made Mu Qingyan curious: "Then he is investigating this case?"

"Yes." Shunzi thought for a while, and suggested: "If you are really interested in the case, you can make friends with Chief Yan. It's not difficult. Everyone knows that Chief Yan has all kinds of friends."

"Then do you know where to find him?" Mu Qingyan asked.

Shunzi said: "It's simple, Chief Yan is a frequent visitor to Hualou. Recently, he has had a fierce fight with the top player in Yunxiang Pavilion. Go to Yunxiang Pavilion at night, and you will definitely see him."

It turns out that Chief Yan Bu is still a prodigal son.

Mu Qingyan smiled lowly: "Fortunately, the surname is 'Yan', not 'Lu'."

He planned to meet Yan Lang tonight.

The main reason is that with the assistance of the government in investigating the case, many things are much more convenient.As he is now, he always collects information privately by himself, and the efficiency is too slow.If Yan Lang is really as described by the waiter in the teahouse, he should not be an idiot, then maybe he has found some clues.

He was also testing to see if the people behind the scenes would prevent him from contacting the government.

Furthermore, he has seen the appearance of the murderer from the backtracking time, and the government has also searched for Dr. You Fang to compare with each other to see if it is the same person.With the presence of the government, people can be found as soon as possible and the speed can be increased.

No one knows whether the murderer will kill again, and it will be Qixi Festival soon.
