Nongmen Shenjue

Yan Lang is not so enthusiastic and diligent. He wants to bring justice to the deceased, and he is also idle during the Chinese New Year. He just happened to encounter such a case. After a little investigation, it seems that it is not that simple, so he took his heart.People who like to investigate cases are addicted. When encountering an interesting case, it is like meeting delicious food.

"This case was not urged by the victim. It looks like an accidental death. I just told the county magistrate that the file is still on hold and we will talk about it later. If Brother Mu is not busy in the next year, he can go to Guanglin for a walk, but he will not investigate the case. , and the election for the top of the Hundred Flowers is really lively every year at the Flower Festival."

The Huachao Festival is the first of a hundred flowers, which is an event jointly organized by big and small brothels in Guanglin Mansion. It is just a gimmick to pull out girls from various families to show off their talents.But I have to say that there are so many beautiful girls with different styles all of a sudden, not only men but also women are excited to see it.

Yan Lang stayed in the inn for one night, and went to the county town to visit other friends the next day.

Whether there really is such a "friend" is still doubtful, but it is a fact that Yan Lang is afraid of Wen Jixue, and he certainly cannot continue to stay under Wen Jixue's cold eyes.

The prestige in the rivers and lakes is all earned.

Wen Jixue said suddenly: "Gao Tian has found a suitable mountain, do you want to go and have a look?"

"So fast?" Mu Qingyan was surprised.

Wen Jixue smiled and said: "There are not many other things on the mountain except for some common trees. Unlike He County, no one grows medicinal materials, and there is no hot spring. The products are only fur and wood, so as long as the price is right, you can buy them. .”

It's easy to say, but things will never be that simple.

Mu Qingyan just pretended he didn't know, since he had to handle everything anyway, he just waited.

"It's okay anyway, let's go today. Is it far?"

"Not far, behind Qingshan Village."

The two of them went there in a carriage, and they inevitably encountered inquiries from villagers, so they deliberately took a detour.The carriage stopped outside the mountain, and the two found the mountain path and walked in.

It is said that it is behind Qingshan Village, but it does not mean that it is next to Qingshan Village.The hills behind Qingshan Village are not high, and although the forest is dense, there are not even large wild animals, at most rabbits and pheasants. The villagers dig some wild vegetables for firewood, so this piece of forest belongs to the village. .

The two of them crossed the perimeter, walked inward, and turned over a hill, only to see the place Wen Jixue said.

Mu Qingyan estimated that it would take half an hour to walk from the mountain in front to Qingshan Village.The distance in a straight line is not far, but the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and they are all trails. If you really want to build a house there, you have to build the road first.He doesn't care much about the production on the mountain, as long as there are more trees and flowers, and the trend of the mountain is also good, two or three suitable places to build houses are not far or near the nearest Qingshan Village, so that they will not be deserted or disturbed.

"It's good, let's go here." He thought the same as Wen Jixue, as long as the place is suitable, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive.

After the first day of the eighth day, Wen Jixue took the initiative to go to Guanglin Mansion.

Mu Qingyan had no objection.Accepting Yan Lang's invitation was only incidental, mainly so that the two of them could spend the festival together. If they stayed in Fenglin, Mu Qingyan would definitely return to Qingshan Village during the Lantern Festival.This time, he used Yan Lang as an excuse to escape smoothly.

When they arrived at Guanglin Mansion, Yan Lang hosted the guests.

Yan Lang is not married, and the family hired an old lady to cook and wash clothes, home-cooked meals are okay, but hospitality is a bit reluctant.At home, his house is half a yard, which is too small, so he chooses the place for banquets outside.Although it is still during the New Year's Eve, the shops in the city are open on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so it is still very convenient to find a place to eat.

Yan Lang was not stingy, he found a good restaurant and ordered a table of various dishes.

Yan Lang is a talkative person, but he didn't say anything about the case during the meeting, and talked about all kinds of anecdotes in the world.What Yan Lang said were all trivial things, most of them were not in Wen Jixue's eyes, so it would be interesting to go there.

After the banquet, Mu Qingyan asked him: "Are there any other clues about the brothel case?"

Yan Lang said: "I have sorted out the case and will send it to you later."

I got the information later, and after looking through it, I thought about going to Ding's house where the accident happened.

It was dark, and the two went out.

The Ding family was in the prostitution business, and the head of the household was Erniang Ding. There were three daughters raised in the family. They had been educated for many years, and they depended on the daughters to earn money.It is said that the youngest daughter Lilac looks the best and is most liked by guests, but she is dead.Zhang Hu, who was born to murder, also died. The Zhang family lost the person in charge, and the next of kin were busy fighting for property, and no one had time to investigate the cause of Zhang Hu's death.Ding Erniang was annoyed at her daughter's death, but she didn't dare to make a fuss with the Zhang family, saying that it was unreasonable, and she was even more afraid that the other two daughters would be troubled in the end.

Ding Erniang went to the yamen to get a lot of money, and said to the public that Zhang Hu died of illness, and refused to admit that he had taken medicine.It is normal for brothels to give guests pleasure-enhancing drugs, such as the drinks they drink and the incense they order, all of which have aphrodisiac ingredients, but now that something big has happened, how can you recognize it?

It only affected the business in the end, and some regular customers stopped coming.

When Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue came in from the door, a little girl immediately reported the news.

"Mother, there are guests here." Although this little prostitute's family is in the flesh and blood business, they are called like a family.The little girl called Ding Erniang "mother" in her mouth, and she was doing the duty of a little girl.

Ding Erniang hurriedly greeted her, she was a woman in her forties who still had a charm.

"Two distinguished guests, please come in quickly." Ding Erniang was a little surprised, she had seen all kinds of people, so she could tell that they were extraordinary at a glance.Such distinguished guests, who used to be guests in big brothels, how could they come into such a small household like them?

Wen Jixue glanced around, then said: "Just put a table of wine in the side hall. I heard that you have three daughters in your family, so call them all out."

Gao Tian, ​​who followed behind, took out ten taels of silver and handed it over in due course.

This is a big deal!

If in the past, Ding Erniang would have cheerfully called her daughters out to entertain her, but now she forced a smile on her face and said with a trace of bitterness: "I hope the guests will forgive me, my little daughter passed away years ago. If The guests don't dislike it, and although the other two daughters are less handsome, they can play and sing, calling them out to amuse the guests."

"Alright." Wen Jixue nodded, and then instructed: "The food and drink should be clean, don't add what shouldn't be added!"

Ding Erniang naturally understood what he meant, and hurriedly agreed: "Guests, don't worry, our house is always clean, and we will never use those things without the consent of our guests."

Not long after, Ding Erniang led her two daughters out.

The eldest sister is Ding Yue, also known as Sister Yue, and the second sister is Ding Lan, also known as Sister Lan, one nineteen and one eighteen.Neither of them had that amazing appearance, but one was gentle and the other was beautiful, dressed like Xiaojiabiyu, with just the right expression on their faces, which was different from the women who greeted and sent off in brothels.Probably some men like this tune.

Sister Yue held the pipa, and Sister Lan opened her voice to cooperate tacitly.

Mu Qingyan handed over all the entertainment to Wen Jixue, while he activated his ability to trace back the incident.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family was supposed to be reunited, but Zhang Hu is a romantic man and has lost his wife, so he came to Chunfeng Lane to look for Ding Xiang.The reason why he didn't go elsewhere is probably related to his wife's death. The brothel outside is not as clean as Chunfeng Lane.

Zhang Hu is a man in his thirties, and he looks for Ding Xiang when he comes.

Ding Xiang looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a petite figure, pretty appearance, a delicate voice, and a pleasant speech. Zhang Hu seemed a little bored when he came, and he was coaxed to be happy by Ding Xiang after a while.The two were eating and drinking in the lilac room, you and I went, and rolled on the bed after a while.These two people are full of energy, maybe there is something in the drink to add to the fun, they are still not satisfied after two rounds.

Ding Xiang was weak and coquettishly begged for mercy: "Zhang Lang, at least take good care of Xiangxiang, let's take a rest."

But Zhang Hu refused: "I have to let you know how powerful I am tonight. Don't hide it, I know you have good things here, take it out and I will use it."

Seeing that he really refused to stop, Ding Xiang had no choice but to follow his wishes and opened the mother-of-pearl dowry. There was a flat white porcelain box in the small drawer. When she opened it, there were three vermilion pills the size of peanuts inside.

Zhang Hu took one and stuffed it into his mouth, but he moved again holding Lilac in a moment.

I don't know where the excitement came from, so I gave up once, went to get the pills again, and took the remaining two pills.He ate one by himself, and stuffed the other into Lilac's mouth, the two of them lost their scruples more and more, and their lewd chatter made the doorman outside run away in shame.

It is conceivable that they were too excited, and both of them died on the bed.

Just as Yan Lang guessed, although Zhang Hu's sudden death was caused by indulgence, it has nothing to do with drugs.Sex-enhancing drugs are common in brothels and prostitutes, and they are available in every brothel, but in order to prevent accidents, the dosage will be controlled.After all, Zhang Hu ate two pills, which caused sudden death. Is it bad luck?

I don't know if the cause of another sudden death is the same?

Furthermore, if you can get the pills, you can ask Wu for a test.

He didn't ask Ding Erniang, Ding Erniang would definitely not admit it, and their identities were not suitable for questioning.

Mu Qingyan got up: "Go back."

Wen Jixue waved at Ding's family and left with Mu Qingyan.

Although Ding Erniang was surprised, she only thought that the two of them wandered here out of boredom.After all, the two seem to be from extraordinary backgrounds, and they are so bold in their actions. Her two daughters are not as good in appearance, so it is reasonable to look down on each other.

On the way, Mu Qingyan told Wen Jixue what he found out.

Wen Jixue said: "Tell Yan Lang, let Yan Lang investigate."

This is not only Yan Lang's responsibility, but also Yan Lang is a fast catcher, and he is familiar with Guanglin's situation, so it is more convenient to investigate.

Mu Qingyan nodded, after all, he still remembered that he came back to Guanglin to investigate the case just by chance.

After giving the clue to Yan Lang, the two left the city the next day.

There is a river not far outside the city. Although it is frozen now, it has been clear for several days, and the ice layer has thawed, with only some thin ice on the edge.There are fishing boats moored on the shore, even in winter there are still fishermen.Some fishing boats have people with good craftsman, cooking fish and hot wine to entertain guests is also a good income.

Yan Lang introduced a fishing boat, whose stewed river fish is very famous.Guests who come here can fish by themselves. There is still white snow on the shore, withered trees, and the eyes are full of depression, but unexpectedly, the vision is wide and the mind is clear and peaceful.

After spending most of the day comfortably, when he returned to the city, Yan Lang also made progress.
