Nongmen Shenjue

Apparently, Wan Peng's skeptical words showed that he had no idea who "Mu Qingyan" was before.It is true that someone mentioned him, and Wan Peng invited him here because he was in a hurry and went to the doctor.

However, Mu Qingyan is too young. In people's habitual thinking, young means inexperienced, immature means unreliable.

Mu Qingyan didn't make any excuses, but just stood aside quietly.

"A young man makes a hero, my lord, act in a hurry and trust him once." A woman's voice came out from behind the screen, even though it was gentle, it couldn't hide her worry.This person is the magistrate's wife, if not for a pair of children, she would have fallen ill in bed long ago.

Wan Peng took a deep breath and looked at Mu Qingyan: "I heard that you are very good at investigating cases. I will give you three days to find Yang Sanniang. I will send someone to you. Just tell me what you need."

"Within three days, I can't promise to find someone." Even if the other party is the magistrate, Mu Qingyan will not promise indiscriminately.This is not ignorance, because if the task is not completed, Wan Peng will definitely turn his face and be ruthless.Then, he would rather strive for the best conditions at the beginning, at least at this moment, no matter how reluctant Wan Peng is, he still has something to ask him.

"You are a little country boy, dare to negotiate terms with this government..." Wan Peng was about to go into a rage immediately, he was a tough person at heart, and his son and daughter had an accident, which made it difficult for him to pretend to be gentle.

"Master!" The woman's gentle and tired voice stopped Wan Peng, her voice choked up, "Master is worried, I know, but Mr. Mu is innocent, so why bother to blame him. Besides, since someone recommends it, it can be spread That kind of reputation, it should be a real ability, now you and I have nothing to do, why don't you ask young master Mu for help."

The words of the prefect's wife could not help quenching Wan Peng's anger, and even Mu Qingyan couldn't get angry with the couple who lost their children.

As expected of a young lady born of a big family, she is well-bred and behaves well in dealing with others.Even at the present moment, he still upholds the upbringing, does not get angry easily, does not speak lightly, is always gentle and dignified, wraps himself with words, grasps his posture, and puts himself in the most favorable position.

In contrast, Wan Peng, who seems to have been immersed in officialdom for many years, is still far behind.

Suddenly there was a soft ringing of the clothes, and the magistrate's wife came out from behind the screen with the help of the maid.

"Ma'am, what are you..." Wan Peng quickly got up and went to help her himself.

The prefect's wife sideways avoided, looked at Mu Qingyan with tears in her slightly red and swollen eyes, took two steps forward, and actually bent down to kneel.

"Madam, no!" Wan Peng turned pale with shock.

The maid also exclaimed.

Mu Qingyan frowned secretly, and quickly avoided: "Ma'am, what are you doing? If you really kneel down, the boy will not be able to walk out alive today!"

The words are gentle, but they are actually ironic.

If he was really a country boy, he would definitely be at a loss at this moment, being soft-hearted by the other party's crying and begging, he would accept all requests.But Mu Qingyan is not really ignorant of world affairs, he has seen so many things that he often looks at people with a sinister heart.

Madam Zhifu really wanted to kneel, she didn't move fast enough for Wan Peng or the servant girl to stop her.She was indeed in a hurry to go to the doctor. Seeing that the young man was unwilling to find someone and wanted to "ask for grace", unexpectedly, her thoughts were immediately exposed.

In this way, she was not annoyed, but showed a touch of sincere joy.

"Mr. Mu is really smart. Please forgive me for being short-tempered. I only have a pair of children under my knees, who are my lifeblood. If they have any troubles, I will not survive. Please forgive me for my hard work as a mother, Mr. Mu. " Madam Zhifu really spoke from the bottom of her heart: "The person who kidnapped them said that they must find Yang Sanniang within seven days, so they can exchange their children. But Yang Sanniang..."

This matter involved the magistrate, she couldn't expose her husband's face in front of outsiders, so she had to hide it.

"That was the case seven years ago. Who knows whether Yang Sanniang is still alive or not, and whether she is still in the Guanglin Mansion. Besides, the seven days is too short. Now I only ask Mr. Mu to help me as much as possible. If you can't find anyone, if you can get some clues, maybe you can negotiate one or two. I will not make things difficult for Mr. Mu, and I guarantee that my master will not make things difficult for you, I just ask you to do your best." Madam Zhifu said, tugging on Wan Peng's sleeve , The tearful eyes are full of begging.

The magistrate's wife is 35 or six years old, and she is well maintained, always dignified and graceful.Now that something happened to the son and daughter, they looked haggard, but they still had a light make-up on their faces, without losing their identity.

Wan Peng is very satisfied with marrying this wife, not only because the Yue family is powerful, but also because his wife is his ideal wife.

"Madam, don't worry." Wan Peng compromised, and said to Mu Qingyan: "Madam's meaning is mine, you just do your best."

"I want to see Wang Dagou." Mu Qingyan made a request.

The magistrate's wife was slightly stunned, but then she came to her senses and looked at Wan Peng quickly.

"You want to see Wang Dagou?" Wan Peng didn't know who Wang Dagou was, but when he came back from Hualou, he looked through the files from seven years ago, and those names that he had forgotten came back to his mind.Wan Peng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it. He just wanted the result: "Okay, I'll have someone take you there."

Wan Peng winked at Wu Guanshi.

He would definitely put someone by Mu Qingyan's side, even if he didn't feel that the other party could find someone within seven days, it could be called a son or daughter, so he had to hold this expectation.In addition, he has to prevent the fact that after he finds someone, he must ensure that the news will not spread, otherwise he will be caught, saying that he has created unjust, false and wrong cases for his political achievements, and his official career...

Wang Dagou is a prisoner on death row, and he is held in the deepest part of the government prison.

Holding the magistrate's handbook, Mu Qingyan entered the prison smoothly.

This is a dungeon, located underground, and there is no light even during the day, let alone at night.This is not like on TV, where there are still burning torches or lanterns on the wall, except that the guards in charge of guarding the prison at the entrance are illuminated by oil lamps, and the place is considered bright, walking down the stairs, it is pitch black , You can't see the road without a lantern.

The cells in the dungeon were narrow, damp, and dark. The air was filled with the smell of feces, urine, and rotten rice. Normal people almost suffocated when they came down.

Mu Qingyan has a keen sense of insensitivity, and he suffers especially in this environment.

The jailer led them to the deepest part, lit the torches on the walls, and finally dispelled the darkness.

The jailer knocked on the cell door with a wooden stick, and there was a loud noise: "Wang Dagou! Get up, drink and eat meat!"

For this kind of person waiting to die, probably only good food and drink can make him cooperate.

Wang Dagou was disheveled, his clothes could not see the color, he got up and pulled his hair, glanced at the person who came, and immediately stared at the food box, took a deep breath: "Pork head meat! Old Li's pig head meat! It smells so good! Quick, open it quickly, I'm so hungry."

The jailer clicked his tongue: "I said, Wang Dagou, you can do it! This is the first time I have seen people waiting for Qiu Zhan. From time to time, someone will send wine and meat. After eating, you have to talk well, and you will benefit from it in the future." .”

"Shochu, it's strong enough!" Wang Dagou smiled, ignored the jailer, and poured it while holding the wine jar, grabbed the meat with his dark hands and ate it, and asked without raising his head while eating: "What do you want to ask? Tell me! "

Mu Qingyan and Wu Guanshi stood outside the prison door, the prison was so dirty that there was nowhere to set foot.

Although Guanshi Wu is a servant, he is pampered and pampered. He really couldn't bear it, so he simply retreated to the entrance, at least the air would be cleaner.Standing in that dungeon for a while, the smell made him dizzy.

Looking at the young man with a calm face all the time, Guanshi Wu was filled with admiration.

"I want to ask about Xu Hu's wife murder case seven years ago."

Wang Dagou didn't raise his eyelids, and his mouth was full of oil: "I knew it, you must be asking about this matter. Yang Darong, relying on his sister's good marriage, bragged all day long and got a lot from Xu Hu. Money, turn around and make fun of me as a rascal. Tsk, I saw him in a hurry that day, I deliberately lied to him, played him for fun, but he took it seriously and dragged me to see the official..."

Wang Dagou was very cooperative, and told the whole story in detail, and of course he did not miss the thing about someone threatening him.

Anyway, he doesn't care, he has no relatives and reasons, and he is waiting to die, as long as he is given wine and meat, he will answer anyone who asks.

Mu Qingyan listened patiently until Wang Dagou finished speaking and confirmed some details before leaving the dungeon.

It was dark at night, but Mu Qingyan didn't propose to go back to the inn to rest, he wanted to try to go back to the scene seven years ago.Those who secretly threatened and lured Wang Dagou to lie may know the whereabouts of Yang Sanniang.However, after all, it happened seven years ago. Even if we try our best to go back, the picture and sound may be missing, and it is unknown whether we can get valuable clues.Furthermore, after going back, he will definitely lose his strength, so he can take advantage of tonight to rest and recover.

but……

"Steward Wu, please help me and invite Boss Yan to come over." Considering the possible situation in the future, Yan Lang's existence is necessary.Although they didn't know each other for long, compared to Wu Guanshi and others, he was more strict and reliable.

As for why he was "desperate", he didn't realize it at first, but now, he suddenly remembered how he felt when he first investigated the case.The drive of curiosity, the pace of chasing the truth, the pleasure of solving the mystery step by step... All these, he felt again.

However, there is a little difference.

What he wants now is not the truth of the case, but the identity of the man in purple.

He had a hunch that when he uncovered this case, the man in purple would show up on his own initiative.

Maybe it wasn't the right time, he had the illusion of meeting his opponent.

In the previous life, some of such opponents were sent to prison by him, some chose to die, and of course, some absconded.Naturally, the world doesn't like the existence of this kind of person, and the law doesn't like it either. Mu Qingyan himself doesn't like it either, but it is undeniable that the existence of such an "opponent" makes him feel weirdly not alone, and even makes his life more boring. pleasure.

Given what the man in purple has shown so far, he is definitely a very tricky character.

Mu Qingyan felt that he had enough patience.

Furthermore, he still has Wen Jixue.
