Nongmen Shenjue

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, every household is preparing for the festival.

Mu Qingyan also had to go back to the village for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and because someone was looking after the shop, he specially sent red envelopes to Mu Wen and Mu Wu in advance, allowing them to go home and play for two days.The work in the shop is not difficult, and there is no need to make big dishes and soups. Su Niang and his wife are fully capable of doing it, and other members of the He family also help in their spare time.

Lian Xin doesn't do these things. She is good at embroidering women's reds. Hands are very important. If the hands are thickened when doing rough work, many delicate tasks cannot be done, and the old calluses on the hands will scratch the good material.

It was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Chen Shiliu came over, followed by He Chuan.

"Brother Mu, there is a letter from you, from Guanglin Mansion." Chen Shiliu took the letter out of his arms and handed it to him.

The envelope was closed, and the name "Mu Qingyan" was written on it.

"Who sent it?" Upon hearing about Guanglin Mansion, Mu Qingyan had some guesses.

"A caravan came from Guanglin Mansion. It is said that it was commissioned by the head of the Guanglin County Government's Yanbu. He probably doesn't know where you live, so he sent it directly to Shenjuju." Chen Shiliu was very interested. He asked: "You met Chief Yan during the investigation of the case in Guanglin Mansion? Did you inform you of the follow-up of the case? I also heard some news two days ago that a pair of sons and daughters of Wan Zhifu's family were ill. They were very sick. It's weird, it's been sent to the capital to seek medical treatment, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. Even though the distance between the two places was not too far, news from Liu Tong was not convenient and fast.What's more, if something happened to Wanpeng's sons and daughters, I'm afraid they will cover it up, and they can't easily leak it.

"Yes, you know. Although I haven't investigated any major cases, I have worked hard on the news channels. This time it is the news from the underground. The Wan family will definitely not spread the word easily. But recently, it is a fact that there are often doctors coming and going in the government office, and it is finally known to people."

Mu Qingyan felt that it must have something to do with Meng Bin.

As the presiding judge and one of the creators of the original unjust case, Meng Bin could not let Wanpeng go easily.He thought he wanted to take away Wanpeng's most important official career, clinker, through "legitimate" channels, but Meng Bin was still jealous and refused to let Wanpeng's children go.

Opening up Yan Lang's letter, it was indeed the follow-up of the original case.

The God Detective Division took Meng Bin away and asked about Zhu Ziyi.Meng Bin is very cooperative with this, but the words are not of much value.Afterwards, the God Detective Department handed over Meng Bin to the Guanglin County Government. After all, Meng Bin was the perpetrator of the serial murders and should be tried by the local government.

This matter has a great impact, and the faction game between the DPRK and China, the Holy Majesty personally paid attention to it, and ordered the prefect Wanpeng to avoid it, and the governor personally supervised it, so the case must be thoroughly investigated.

Wan Peng's avoidance was because he was involved in the case, and he was visiting the county superiors, so according to the rules, he could not participate.

Wanpeng has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and with the reminder from the Yue family, how could he not know that he is being targeted by someone with a heart.Those people did want to hit him, but not just to hit him, but also to use him as a breakthrough point to attack the forces behind him.Now all of this is out of his control, just look at the fight between the forces behind it.

Currently under review, Wanpeng has been removed from office on the spot, and his duties are taken over by the governor.

Seeing Chen Shiliu scratching his head, Mu Qingyan gave him the letter, since there was nothing to hide anyway.

After reading it, Chen Shiliu raised his eyebrows, but he was used to things in the officialdom: "It would be great if Wan Peng could be dismissed from office."

In the final analysis, the power of these several parties is the struggle of several princes.The old emperor was old, and the position of the crown prince was vacant. In the past few years, the undercurrents in the court had become more and more turbulent, and it was even about to come to the surface.Because of this, he ran away from home, and the family simply acquiesced in the end. After all, the capital was too chaotic.

For example, Wanpeng, once involved, so what if he is a magistrate?If things go wrong, they will end up "suicide in fear of crime".

Chen Shiliu put down the letter and said suddenly, "Brother Mu, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Back to the capital?"

"Well, go back for the holidays." A letter from his family urged him to go back, saying that his grandmother and mother missed him, and he was indeed homesick after being away for so long.I originally planned to go back at the end of the year, but after calculation, there are still three or four months until the end of the year.

"Are you bringing He Chuan?"

"Well, Qi Nanfeng is watching." Chen Shiliu admired his foresight more and more. It was really right to recruit Qi Nanfeng. Well organized.Even He Chuan was incomparable in this point. Relatively speaking, He Chuan was good at foreign affairs.

Previously, Qi Nanfeng and Fang Hua went to find the little beggar, but it went smoothly.

The little beggar didn't suffer much in that family, but probably because of his fledgling complex, he was close to Fang Hua after all, so he came back with him.As for Qi Nanfeng, it was obvious from the first meeting that he was not an ordinary person, and no one knew his origin.

Mu Qingyan didn't want to explore so much, anyway, the other party didn't show any malice.

A day later, Mu Wen came to him: "Second brother, the second brother of the Zhao family is back and said that he will invite a matchmaker to visit tomorrow. Big brother asked me to tell you."

"So fast?" Mu Qingyan was surprised at the speed of the marriage proposal, but considering the relationship between the two families, especially the Zhao family has been planning this marriage for a long time, it is understandable.He nodded and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go back tomorrow morning."

Wen Jixue knew that he was going back to the village during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect it to be so soon: "Today is only twelve, why don't you go back?"

"A matchmaker came to propose marriage to eldest sister."

"Then come back today?"

"Back."

Wen Jixue said with a smile: "Tonight there is sweet-scented osmanthus duck, that is Aunt Jiang's specialty dish, don't miss the time for dinner."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." When talking about Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, when talking about delicacies from all over the world, he mentioned sweet-scented osmanthus duck.Wen Jixue said that Aunt Jiang was good at it and did it very well.

When returning to the village, Wen Jixue's carriage was used, He Shun drove the carriage, and by the way, he carried a food box containing moon cakes made by Su Niang.

Because a matchmaker came to the door today, it's not too late, he went back very early.Even so, the matchmaker came to the door just after arriving home for less than a cup of tea.Because Mu Lin was looking for Mrs. Jin as a matchmaker before, she was decent and considerate, so the Zhao family also looked for Mrs. Jin.

Unlike the matchmakers on the stage, Mrs. Jin was wearing a crimson slanted skirt with piping, neat and tidy, with embroidered foreheads, a bun behind her head, a silver hairpin, and a clean face.She looks like a clean and neat old lady, always smiling and kind, but compared to ordinary old ladies, the clothes she wears are slightly brighter.Probably because of the matchmaker, she always wants to make people look happy.

Even though the two families knew the basics and communicated with each other, there must be one necessary procedure.

Today, when the golden matchmaker came to the door, it was a routine matter to propose marriage.The golden matchmaker speaks briskly and can make people laugh, and the atmosphere is very good.She introduced the population of the Zhao family, the foundation of the Zhao family, and Zhao He.

Although Mu Wan is the protagonist, the ancients paid attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", not to mention the thin-skinned girls, so Mu Lin served as the head of the family to entertain, Mu Qingyan sat with him, and Mu Wan hid in the room and did not come out. .

Mu Lin didn't agree, and politely sent Mrs. Jin away.

This is also a common practice. In order to show that the daughter's family is precious, she always has to show her posture.Wait for the matchmaker to come to find out the news again, and then give the correct words.

Mu Lin said with emotion: "Second brother, you didn't see that Zhao He's boy is not what he used to be. His boss ran away again, and he became stronger after being black. Wait until the marriage between the two families is completely settled." Come down, we must have a good drink with him and listen to the new things outside."

Mu Qingyan's impression of Zhao He is all from his memory, not so real.

Mu Lin looked quite excited, got up and looked at Mu Wan's room, and joked: "Your elder sister is so big, and when she becomes fierce, she can fight with a machete. This is the first time I've seen her shy. Alas, female university student Don't stay here!"

Mu Wen said with a smile: "If Eldest Sister stays at home all the time, Eldest Brother, are you really worried?"

Mu Wu felt itchy, jumped up and ran out: "I'll go find Brother Hezi."

"Wait for me! I'll go too!" Mu Wen bared and ran away.

This is also the two families are next to each other, otherwise according to the rules, the two families will be negligent when they are currently discussing marriage.

"Second brother, I found out about the matter you entrusted to me." Mu Lin mentioned to him: "The sixth wife's son is called Wang Shuisheng, and he worked as a clerk at the Liu Jisheng Medicine Store in the county. The drug traffickers from He County always make several trips every year. For safety reasons, it is natural to bring two more people with them. Wang Shuisheng is strong and honest, so he was chosen. The group of them sold drugs smoothly, but on the way out of He County, When he met bandits, Wang Shuisheng was unlucky and was stabbed in the stomach with a knife. When the government arrived, he died.

This was a case managed by Hexian County. Four or five years later, some people still remembered it, but they didn't think there was anything wrong.I wasn't alarmed by the Liu family's raw medicine shop, but I found someone who used to work as a clerk in the raw medicine shop.The man also ran to He County several times before, and it was safe every time. Every time he went, the host gave him a tael of silver for his hard work.But something happened that time, someone died, and he was injured a little bit, so he couldn't help but feel a little scared, plus he had saved some money, so he quit his job, and now he is farming at home.

Since the victimized party was from Fenglin County, He County also sent an official document, so there was nothing wrong with it.The medicinal materials of Liu's family were not lost, but Wang Shui was alive and dead, and he was given 20 taels of silver for the funeral, and there were other staff's medical expenses, so it was a loss of money after all. "

Mu Qingyan nodded.

Indeed, encountering bandits depends on luck, and Wang Shuisheng's death was also an accident, so nothing seemed wrong.Wang Shuisheng is just an ordinary guy, even if someone has a problem with him, how can he make such a big deal?

Just a little weird.

Bandits robbing is not random luck, they either rob everyone they meet, or inquire in advance.The Liu family's group escorting the car will indeed attract the covetousness of the bandits, but the bandits are looking for money and often go out to buy medicinal materials. The young master should know this, as long as they give up some money, the disaster will be eliminated. How could it lead to a fight?

Could it be that the robbers wanted to grab the goods, but the young owner refused?

The goods are all medicinal materials, this thing is no better than anything else, if it is robbed, it will be sold.Things can only be sold to drug stores, which is too limited and easily exposed. He doesn't think bandits will do such a thing.

However, after all, it was just a guess, maybe it was just a disagreement between the two sides, or the price was not agreed.
