Nongmen Shenjue

Jin Lilin was in warm fur in front, and Liu Dahe followed behind, also wrapped in a gray fur cloak.

Today's Liu Dahe is not called Liu Dahe, but Liu Xinping.

Jin Lilin apologized: "Mr. Wen, please forgive me, I came here temporarily, but I disturbed your meal."

"Master Jin Wu, why be polite, Ayan and I are in He County, and I will take care of you." Wen Jixue invited the other party to sit down.

Jin Lilin noticed his address, "Ayan"?It should refer to Mu Qingyan, but it hasn't been called so intimately before.Jin Lilin himself had an affair with Liu Dahe, so he was naturally sensitive to such matters. At the beginning, he noticed that the relationship between Wen Jixue and Mu Qingyan was ambiguous, but he was not sure, but now it is basically confirmed.

He glanced at Wen Jixue again, and not only smiled secretly, but this was also the other party's intention to hide it.

"Why don't you see Mr. Mu?"

"I just had a few drinks with him. He has a light drinker and is resting in the house."

"Oh, that's how it is." Jin Lilin nodded, seeing the cook put all the dishes on the table and pour the wine from the pot, he punished himself with a cup to make amends.After eating the food on the table, he was suddenly surprised.He is very clear about the skills of the cooks in his village. These dishes...or some dishes have a very special taste, and they are definitely not the skills of the cooks.

"These are..." Jin Lilin suddenly recalled the information he had checked earlier, that Mu Qingyan ran a restaurant at the ferry, could it be that Mu Qingyan made these?He couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was hard to imagine that a peasant boy could not only investigate crimes, but also have such outstanding cooking skills.

The corners of Wen Jixue's mouth were raised, and there was an unmistakable show off on his face: "These are all Ayan's handicrafts. Today is my birthday, and Ayan cooked specially, which made Jin Wuye laugh."

Jin Lilin seemed to be choked, and it was difficult to describe the delicate mood at the moment. Fortunately, after many years of training, he quickly adjusted his expression and praised with a smile: "Sure enough, he is very skilled. Compared with Mr. Mu, my family paid a lot of money to invite him My cook is mediocre."

The two chatted and drank wine, and the meal was coming to an end.

The servants removed the remaining seats and served fragrant tea.

"Jin Wuye came today, probably not to take a hot spring?" Wen Jixue asked directly.

Jin Lilin smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I came here specially to see Mr. Mu, and I have something to ask."

He deliberately wanted to see Mu Qingyan, so there was no need to guess, there must be something difficult to investigate.

Wen Jixue reminded: "Today is the nineteenth of November, before the twelfth lunar month, we have to return to Fenglin."

"Young Master Mu, you can listen to it first." Jin Lilin knew that the time was short, but according to Mu Qingyan's investigation experience, ten days should be enough.In his opinion, the matter this time was simpler than what Mu Qingyan investigated before.

Mu Qingyan naturally heard their conversation in the inner room, and walked out directly.

Wen Jixue asked Gao Chun to make a bowl of strong tea.

"Jin Wuye has something to say, please." Mu Qingyan wiped his face and drank the hangover soup, his blush subsided a bit, and his expression became much clearer.

Jin Lilin said: "There are several large medicinal herb growers in Hexian County, and there is a family named Qiao, do you know?"

"I've heard of it, but I only heard about it, and I don't know much about it."

Jin Lilin nodded: "The Qiao family is different from the Qi family. The Qiao family has relatively fewer children. Each generation of the Qiao family has more females than males, and there may be only one male, and a maximum of two. Although the internal strife is gone, it makes the Qiao family male Ding Guigui. Now, Mr. Qiao has two sons. The eldest son is already established. He married and had a son, and took over most of the property. The second son of the Qiao family came after many years. He was only seventeen years old. .”

"Do you have friendship with the Qiao family?"

"When we arrive in He County, some people in the county must say hello. The Qiao family is very suitable. I have a little friendship with Qiao Jiashu, the eldest son of Qiao. This time, I heard about his younger brother and thought of Mr. Mu. If Mr. Mu agrees, I will Recommend Mr. Mu to the Qiao family."

"What happened to the second son of the Qiao family?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"The second son of the Qiao family is called Qiao Jiahe, other things are good, he just likes women, but generally speaking he doesn't dare to mess around.

You know, there are many jade mines in Hexian County, and now the big mines are all owned, but small veins can emerge from time to time.In the mountains of a certain village under the jurisdiction of He County, a small vein was discovered before. In order to attract people, the mine hosted a stone gambling meeting.This kind of stone gambling conference often releases a lot of poorly performing rough stones in order to attract more people. You can get one or two taels of silver, or even a few copper coins. , if you fail, you will only lose a few pennies, so you can imagine the excitement.

It was in September, and Qiao Jiahe also went to join in the fun.

At that time, in addition to the two followers of Qiao Jiahe, there were also two brothers from the same clan of the Qiao family, who were about the same age.A group of people took a carriage and stayed in the small town, planning to go to the small mine the next day.Unexpectedly, it was this stop that buried the root of the disaster.

Qiao Jiahe had nothing to do at night, strolling around the town, and accidentally saw a beautiful woman standing in a tailor shop, he couldn't help being very moved.He was about to strike up a conversation when the woman disappeared.He inquired with others and learned that the woman was the wife of a tailor, whose surname was Yun.Even though he is greedy for beauty, he also knows that wives are not to be played with, so he can only hold back, but he must be disappointed.

If he had left the town at that time, perhaps there would have been no disasters later, but it happened that it rained at night, and he tossed and turned again, left the window open, kicked on the quilt again, and fell ill.His condition was not serious, but it took a lot of time to recuperate. His two clan brothers went to the small mine to have fun, and they agreed to pick him up on the return trip.The inn room he lived in happened to be on the second floor, and there were several houses on the first floor along the street to the right, including the tailor's house.Standing by the window and looking out, he could clearly see the yard of the tailor's house, so he naturally saw the Yun family. "

Jin Lilin paused for a moment after speaking.

In fact, upon hearing this, Mu Qingyan understood.

Even though Qiao Jiahe was able to restrain himself at the beginning, when he was convalescing, seeing Yun's dangling in front of his eyes every day, his already tempted heart must be even more eager to move.So, what will he do when he can't stand the temptation?

Jin Lilin gave him the answer: "He made friends with the man from the Yun family, the tailor named Gan. At first, he just ordered expensive clothes in the tailor's shop, and then found a chance to drink with him. After four or five days, we got to know each other well. ,he just……"

The voice stopped abruptly, and an unspeakable look flashed across Jin Lilin's face.

"So what?" In fact, Qiao Jiahe didn't go to hook up with Yun's, but made friends with Tailor Gan, which was beyond Mu Qingyan's expectation.There was something weird about this behavior.

Jin Lilin drank two sips of tea, coughed lightly, and then continued: "The relationship between the two has become closer. Tailor Gan saw that he had been ill for a long time, so naturally he wanted to ask a few questions. Qiao Jiahe told Tailor Gan that he was terminally ill. , It’s not going to get better, only Tailor Gan can save him.”

In an instant, not only Mu Qingyan, but also Wen Jixue's expression became subtle.

They reacted almost at the same time, it's hard not to be surprised by Qiao Jiahe's brain circuit, actually...

Sure enough, Jin Lilin couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help it: "Tailor Gan was at a loss and thought he really had some serious illness, so he asked him what medicine he needed, and he tried his best to find it for him. Joe Jiahe turned over and knelt down in front of Tailor Gan, and confessed everything about Yun's that he had a crush on, and only said that his wish was hard to fulfill, and his illness would be hard to recover, and he begged him to do so, and he was willing to give ten taels of silver as a thank you."

absurd!

It's hard for Mu Qingyan to believe that there is such a person, how could he open his mouth, isn't Tailor Gan angry from his heart?

"It is said that Tailor Na Gan was indeed furious and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. However, he didn't hit him or scold him. He just sighed for a long time and said to go back and ask Yun Shi to hear what Yun Shi said."

Mu Qingyan was so choked that he couldn't say a word.

What was even more shocking was yet to come.

"The Yun family agreed."

Mu Qingyan rubbed his temples: "You can finish it at once."

"As soon as Mr. Yun agreed, the two parties immediately agreed on a time. Tailor Gan said that he would leave home in the evening, and Qiao Jiahe would go straight there, while Mrs. Yun was waiting at home. But that night, Qiao Jiahe bumped into someone just as he came down from the stairs. , is the proprietress of the inn. The lady is not good-looking, but she is quite charming. She ran into Qiao Jiahe's arms and cried out that her feet hurt, and asked Qiao Jiahe to help her back to the room. Agreed with Yun's appointment.

Originally, he planned to explain it the next day and make an appointment again.Unexpectedly, early in the morning, I could hear the commotion in the street outside. When I went out to see, there were many people in front of the tailor's shop, and I could only hear Tailor Gan crying and calling 'lady'.After asking again, he found out that Mr. Yun was dead, his neck was slashed with a knife, and the blood flowed all over the floor. "

"That's why Tailor Gan told the hidden story and decided that Qiao Jiahe was the murderer?"

"That's right. At first, Qiao Jiahe was taken aback. He was also saddened by Yun's death, and felt scared. After all, he was going to attend the appointment that night. If he really went, it would be hard to get a good one. He didn't Feeling suspicious, he didn't go to the tailor's house, and he was with the inn lady.

I also blame him for being simple.After the accident, he immediately returned to the county seat. Five days later, someone from the Yamen came and took him away.He originally planned to testify against the lady of the inn, but the lady said angrily that he was slandering, and even threatened to hang himself to prove his innocence.Tailor Gan revealed the unknown inside story again, but falsified it by saying that he rejected Qiao Jiahe at that time, but fortunately he gave some advice, but who knew that Qiao Jiahe was not a villain, if he came to bully Yun when he was not at home, it must be because Yun would not It made Qiao Jiahe move to kill.

The innkeeper and neighbors all testified that Qiao Jiahe had inquired about Yun's and always went to the tailor shop.He couldn't argue with anything. "

Mu Qingyan said: "I don't know Qiao Jiahe, and I don't know who he is, so I can't fully believe what I've said. It's fine to help with the investigation, but you have to make it clear to the Qiao family that what I found out is the truth, not for you. Qiao Jiahe is exonerated, unless he is really innocent."

Of course, even if these narrations are all true, Qiao Jiahe is not innocent, knowing that Yun is someone else's wife, and offering to buy adultery with money, he should be punished.

Seeing his promise, Jin Lilin smiled and said, "Naturally. If the Qiao family has ghosts in their hearts, this matter will naturally be left alone. If they are naturally open-minded, I will invite Mr. Mu again."

Jin Lilin didn't want to stay any longer, he wanted to return to the city before dark.

Mu Qingyan was still thinking about the case that he had heard before, it was really weird.

"Qiao Jiahe's lecherous ghosts can't be bothered, that willing tailor, is it possible that he wants money?" Giving his wife to others for lust is really hard to imagine.

Wen Jixue said: "Some people only care about money. If their wives can get money in exchange, they will even match up with them. They look like husband and wife, but in fact they are no different from prostitutes."

Such a thing is really uncomfortable.
