Nongmen Shenjue

The coffin shop of Lao Ye's family is not far from Yuelao Temple, on an old street.There are many paper making shops, incense and candle shops, bookstores, paper shops, etc. on this street. The eaves of Lao Ye's shop are low. Although the room is spacious, the lighting is not good, and there are several dark coffins parked in the house. It was very scary to look at suddenly.

Mu Qingyan first went to the county government to find someone.

Several policemen followed, and under his instructions, they turned over all the coffins, but no one was there.

"Are all the coffins here?" Mu Qingyan asked Shopkeeper Ye.

The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was terrified, and hurriedly replied: "No, there are two more in the back yard, because they have just been painted, and they will hang out for a few days."

When we got to the backyard, we saw two coffins on the benches.

After opening the lid of the coffin, a police officer exclaimed, "I found it!"

Inside the coffin, the young master and young lady of the Wan family lay quietly, even the policeman's exclamation failed to wake them up.

Gao Tian stepped forward to check: "If the Sleeping Point is tapped, no matter how loud the external movement is, they can hear and feel it, but they can't react."

To put it bluntly, it means losing control of the body.

Gao Tian unlocked the acupoints of the two of them, rolled their eyelids a few times, and opened their eyes.However, the two of them have been forced to lie in the coffin since they were robbed, and the water and rice hadn't entered. If there was no hole in the bottom of the coffin, they would have suffocated to death.Even so, the two of them were extremely weak, their bodies were extremely stiff, and they could only beg weakly for water.

All the people present were men, and Miss Wan was an unmarried woman, so it was difficult for everyone to get started.

The shopkeeper called the woman at home, carried Miss Wan into the house, and fed some water with Mr. Wan.A policeman had already gone to the inn to find Steward Wu.Steward Wu was charged with the mission, even if there was no progress, he would not dare to go back until dark.He didn't want Mu Qingyan to run away, worried that he would run into the murderer and lose his life, so he just stayed at the inn.

When Wu Guanshi found Miss Gongzi, he was overjoyed and hurried back to report the news.

Not long after, the Wan family sent chariots and horsemen to take their young master and young lady back.

Steward Wu was smiling all over his face at this moment, and said to Mu Qingyan: "Mr. Mu, the magistrate invited Mr. Mu to visit the mansion. Please thank Mr. Mu for your help."

Mu Qingyan waved his hand: "Your magistrate is too polite. Now that the young lady has just been found, I think the magistrate and his wife are very worried and don't need to be distracted by trivial matters. If the magistrate asks about the murderer, he will say that it is the seal of the God Detective Division." The young master took it away, and the magistrate will understand."

Guanshi Wu didn't force it. Originally, Wan Peng just mentioned it like that, so he might not really be willing to thank Mu Qingyan face to face.

As for Wanpeng's reaction when he learned that Meng Bin was taken away by the God Detective Department, Mu Qingyan didn't care.

Not to mention Wanpeng, the magistrate's wife never made mistakes in her dealings with others.

Now that the children have come back safely, the prefect's wife must express her gratitude to Mu Qingyan, otherwise she would be ungrateful and fall into disrepute.Not long after, Wu Guanshi came to the inn with his things, and once again conveyed the gratitude of the magistrate and his wife.

Four brocades of different designs and colors, four boxes of fruit snacks, two cans of tea leaves, and two jars of wine. In addition, a palm-sized wooden box contained five silver bills, totaling 500 taels of silver.

Yan Lang heard that the case was over, and also learned that the people from the God Detective Department had intervened. He wanted to know the inside story, so he came to Mu Qingyan, and happened to see that the table was full of thank you gifts.

"Brother Mu, the wine at Zhifu's house must be good, you want to treat me!" Yan Lang forgot Wen Jixue for a while, and joked a few words.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said: "Brother Yan is good at drinking, so I'll give this wine to Brother Yan. Your yamen has worked hard these days, everyone got to know each other once, I'm the host, you call everyone."

"Then I won't be polite, just tonight." Yan Lang wanted to know the follow-up of the case.

In front of Yan Lang, Wen Jixue didn't say anything, and after Yan Lang left, he frowned: "You haven't taken care of your body yet, so why waste all this energy."

Wen Jixue has known him for several months, and knows that he is not a person who likes to socialize.

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "Just go and sit, don't drink."

In fact, he also intends to make friends with Yan Lang. Since they are friends, they should not be too negligent or overbearing.

That night, Yan Lang led a group of police officers who were working with him this time to the appointed restaurant. The restaurant got the news in advance and prepared three tables of food and drinks.Wen Jixue came with Mu Qingyan, when Yan Lang saw it, don't be too restrained.

Mu Qingyan didn't stay long, chatted with Yan Lang about the case, and said: "If there is a follow-up here, please send me a message."

Yan Lang understood what he meant, and readily agreed: "This matter is not a small matter, as long as the higher-ups are alarmed, there will be a result before the end of the year at the latest."

When Mu Qingyan came, he brought the two jars of wine from the magistrate's family. Yan Lang really liked drinking, and he was very satisfied when he smelled the wine, so he was immediately rude.

"Tomorrow I'm going back to Fenglin County, so please forgive me for not being with you, brother Yan and brothers drink slowly." Mu Qingyan expressed his apology and drank a glass of wine to make amends.

Although Yan Lang felt it was a pity, but seeing that his spirit was not very good, he smiled and said: "Forget it this time, if I go to Fenglin County in another day, Brother Mu will have a good drink with me."

"It's a deal!" Mu Qingyan went to settle the bill for the banquet, and then left with Wen Jixue.

Early the next morning, Gao Tian prepared the carriage, and the group checked out of the guest room and left.

It took them a day to go to the ferry, and from the ferry to the waterway to take a boat, the wind went smoothly, and they arrived at Liulin Ferry in a day and a half.

After resting at the ferry for the night, Mu Qingyan took four bolts of brocade, two boxes of pastries and gold jewelry and returned to Qingshan Village.

He was robbed earlier, Wen Jixue told Chen Shiliu not to tell the Mu family for now, so Mu Wan didn't know about him.When Chen Shiliu came back before, when Mu Lin asked about it, he only said that the two of them had gone on a trip.

"Second brother, when did you come back?" The door of the house was open, and Mu Wan was using a bamboo rake to turn the sorghum in the yard to dry. When she saw him coming back, she quickly dropped the bamboo rake. Brocade, went to fetch water to wash his hands again.

"I just came back yesterday afternoon." Mu Qingyan said, walking around the yard with the brocade in his arms.

Mu Wan carried the rest of the things into the main room, and asked wonderingly, "Where did these things come from?"

"It's a gift from someone else. Eldest sister, you can keep it. When elder brother hires you, it would be nice to add two more. Oh, and this jewelry, I have chosen the latest styles. Let's see if it's good." Mu Qingyan Giving her all the things, he opened the pastry box and picked up two beautiful hibiscus cakes and put them in Mu Xiu's hands.

"Thank you, second brother." Mu Xiu ate one piece, and carefully wrapped the other piece in a handkerchief.

"Why don't you eat? There are so many things." Mu Qingyan felt that she was too shy and timid, unlike the rest of the family.Girls like this, although outsiders feel demure, but such a temper is easy to suffer.

Mu Xiu whispered: "This pastry is beautiful and delicious, I want to give Xiaomei a taste."

"Then take two more yuan, and you share it." Mu Qingyan brought her a few more yuan.

Mu Xiu's face was red, and her eyes were smiling like crescent moons: "Thank you, second brother."

Mu Qingyan liked it, and reached out to rub the top of her hair.

Mu Wan looked away from the jewelry and said with a smile: "Okay, it's still early, you can go play with Xiaomei."

Holding the pastry in her hands, Mu Xiu jogged out.

Mu Qingyan looked at the sorghum in the yard and asked, "When did you harvest it? Sister, are you alone?"

Mu Qingyan knew that the land was planted at home, but he had never touched it. Even if he knew when the grain would be harvested, he often didn't realize it.This time I came back and saw it, and suddenly realized, oh, so the sorghum is ready to be harvested.

"Brother came back to collect it, and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao helped. I can handle that little space by myself." Mu Wan said, her face flushed strangely.

Mu Qingyan was surprised and was about to ask, but saw Mu Wan staring at the jade on his waist.

"Second brother, this jade... did you buy it?" Mu Wan's eyes changed obviously, a little surprised, mixed with joy, she asked cautiously, but the urgency in her eyes was hard to hide.

"...No, it was given by a friend." After all, Mu Qingyan is a person who tries to investigate cases, and he has a keen mind. He realized that there was something wrong with the jade on his body, at least it was not normal to attract Mu Wan's attention.

Suet white jade is indeed precious, according to the general situation, Mu Wan would be worried that he will cause trouble by taking other people's valuables indiscriminately.Now he doesn't ask about the value of the jade at all, but cares about the person who gave it to him.

Mu Wan's eyes lit up, and her tone even became a little excited: "Friend? What friend? When did you meet my second brother? Where is her home?"

This kind of questioning pattern is too familiar. Whenever there are children in the family, and they are in the right age group, and there is a little trouble with a different surname around them, the family will interrogate them all, wishing to check the other party out.

"What's wrong with this jade?" Mu Qingyan asked without answering.

Mu Wan smiled, as if she was looking at an idiot: "Since I gave you jade specially, I think she also made this tape herself. Look at the auspicious knot, and then look at this tape, it is smooth and smooth, and the craftsmanship is amazing." What a coincidence. The color of pea green, set against the white jade, is elegant and bright, and the color matching is very good. This is a white jade buckle, I hope you are safe, it is a good intention, it is just for you..."

Mu Qingyan was a little dumbfounded, and interrupted her chattering praise: "Eldest sister, you have said so much, what does it mean?"

Mu Wan glared at him: "Have you read so many books, have you forgotten all about it? I know all about how to form a bond of love, beautiful jade embellished with Luoying. Besides, jade should not be given away lightly, let alone a girl. The sash made by my family, this kind of personal thing, since it is given to you, you don't know what it means?"

Mu Qingyan laughed again and again: "Sister, you misunderstood. You also said, how can you give away the girl's personal belongings lightly, and I don't know any girl, who would give it to me? If someone really gave it to me, I can easily pick it up Is it gone?"

Mu Wan only cared about being happy, and was stunned when he asked her: "Then, this is..."

"It's a gift from a friend, man." Seeing her disappointed face, Mu Qingyan thought about it, but still didn't say anything.Although she mentioned earlier that she would not get married, as the eldest sister, Mu Wan did not really give up.Maybe she won't repeat the old story easily, but deep down she still hopes that he will marry and have children, and live a stable life.

This is human nature and understandable.

To take a step back, he took over the original owner and left the original owner without successors, which is really indebted.But since he came, he is not alone with the original owner after all, and everyone else can pay back, only this one can't. After all, he wants to live his own life, not live life for the original owner.

but……

Did this auspicious palace tape be bought, or...Wen Jixue made it herself?

Imagine the scene of Wen Jixue beating the tape herself...
