Nongmen Shenjue

The four sat down in the private room, and Chen Shiliu introduced each other.

Wei Yangyu clapped his palms, and looked at Mu Qingyan with a face full of surprise: "So you are the rumored 'Mr. Shenduan'!"

Now Mu Qingyan is also well-known, even in the capital, people who often go to teahouses to listen to books know him.This is due to Chang Yunsheng, a storyteller in Juminglou. Books always have to introduce new ones to attract customers. What story is better than Mr. Mu's Case Records?Especially if it's a real story, updated from time to time.The teahouses in the capital city followed suit, and the feedback was good, which indirectly made Mu Qingyan famous.

What Wei Yangyu knew about Mu Qingyan was not through the teahouse, but through special inquiries.

Chen Shiliu's father was a first-rank official, and there were quite a few officials in the Chen family. As the youngest son of the Chen family, he didn't have to bear the heavy responsibilities of the family. As long as he didn't get into trouble, he could do whatever he wanted.Chen Shiliu had been messing around with other children in Beijing since he was a child, but his interests were slightly different, and he even left home for Fenglin County to make some kind of magic break, and he was dedicated to finding people and things to resolve disputes.

I don't know how many people made jokes in private, and Wei Yangyu even helped fight the injustice.

In fact, Wei Yangyu envied Chen Shiliu very much, he also wanted to leave home to make a living, but unfortunately the family was too strict, no matter how mischievous he was in Beijing, it didn't matter, as long as he was not allowed to leave home.Originally thought that Chen Shiliu and him were brothers in need, but suddenly one day, this brother who was in trouble left him and ran away, and now he has his own foundation. He is really jealous and sad.

Heck, those people who make jokes in their mouths don't have acid in their hearts.

When I first heard about Chen Shiliu's deeds, many people went to inquire about it. They all wanted to see Chen Shiliu's jokes because it is better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone.Wei Yangyu was still worried, but Chen Shiliuzhen followed that peasant boy to handle several big cases.

The person who had been only in the rumors suddenly appeared in front of him, Wei Yangyu couldn't help but look at it again and again, quite unbelievable.

When I just heard about it before, I still admired it sincerely, but it was really face to face: I am just a young man, even if Qing Juan Zhuoran does not match his birth, he still can't tell that he is superhuman.Then he will solve the case, is his brain really that smart?

snort!

Because Wei Yangyu stared at it for too long, Wen Jixue glanced over, and Wei Yangyu immediately jumped up as if being pricked by a needle.

"Cough! Well, Wei Xiaosan, if you have something to do, you should leave first, and we will meet again at another day." Chen Shiliu directly issued the order to evict the guest, so as to save him from accidentally offending someone for a while.Furthermore, with Wei Yangyu around, some things were hard to talk about.

Although Wei Yangyu was a little displeased, seeing Ji Xue's icy and handsome face, he was terrified, and hurriedly said: "If that's the case, let's meet again some other day."

After Wei Yangyu left, Chen Shiliu hurriedly urged the restaurant to bring food and good wine, and he was not sloppy in cleaning up the dust.

"Brother Mu, I've arranged the accommodation for you. It's a small courtyard with a private door. It's very quiet. I ordered someone to clean it yesterday. The bedding is all newly purchased and there are all kinds of utensils. That courtyard belongs to my second brother. He occasionally wants to If you want to stay in peace for a few days, or to entertain friends, I will borrow it, no one will disturb you, just rest assured."

Although Chen Shiliu wanted to entertain the two of them to live at home, he thought they would not want to be restrained, so he didn't mention it.

"You took the trouble, thank you." After meeting Chen Shiliu for a while, now that he came to the capital, Mu Qingyan didn't refuse when he guessed that the other party would warmly extend his friendship to the landlord.He didn't think about going to the Chen family's side, but he prepared a salute, which is also a kind of etiquette.

Based on how much the Chen family valued Chen Shiliu, they would probably invite him to the house, but Zuo was just looking after Chen Shiliu and caring for his parents.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Shiliu finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Mu, why are you coming to the capital this time..."

"Young Lord of Shoushan Hou Mansion, how much do you know?"

Chen Shiliu's eyes lit up: "Is this case related to him?"

No wonder he was excited. Although he had been involved in several cases before, this was the first time he was involved with the elites of the capital, so he was inexplicably excited.

Immediately said: "The young Marquis of Shoushan Hou Mansion is called Tian Yuanshao. Originally, when it came to him, the title would be downgraded, but his eldest sister became the princess of Kejun, and the king of Kejun used his strength, so the Marquis of their family will pass on more. Tian Yuanshao had just arrived, and married the second daughter of Jingyuan Houfu. This Tian Yuanshao, although he looked like a dog, was a flirtatious lover. In addition to his wife, he also had two side wives. Tsk, it just sounds good, but it's actually a concubine. The thing that everyone made for the so-called decency is just like the concubine in the palace. There are also four little concubines. However, compared to the family flowers, Tian Yuanshao prefers wild flowers.

Years ago, he brought a woman back from outside and bought a house to live in.Although he didn't know the woman's origin, but Tian Yuanshao was very strict with her and protected her tightly. Whenever he had time to spend in that house, the backyard of the Hou Mansion was already full of jealousy.It is said that his wife complained about her sufferings when she went back to her mother's house for drinking during the year. "

"No one knows the details of that woman? There are no rumors outside?" Mu Qingyan couldn't believe that she could cover her up so tightly, let alone, it was unnecessary.A young master raises a brothel girl in a foreign house, and at most people say that he is romantic, which is nothing.

"There are rumors. Just a few days ago, someone said that the woman came out of a brothel. I forgot her name." This was also mentioned by someone else, and he listened to it. Didn't pay much attention at all.

"The woman's name is Yaoqin, and she came from Guanglin Qunfang Building. She has only a little girl with her, and a grey-haired woman. This woman's surname is Tan. I'm afraid she came to the capital for revenge." Mu Qingyan told Tan I told about my mother-in-law so that Chen Shiliu would know what to do.

"I see." Chen Shiliu nodded suddenly.

Mu Qingyan asked him again: "Have you heard of the name 'Luo Hengzhi'?"

Chen Shiliu frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I haven't heard of it. There are people with the surname Luo, and some with the name 'Heng', but there are no people with this name. Maybe I don't know. , I only know about the princes' mansions and aristocratic families. I only know about the main families or outstanding figures. Do you have more detailed information about this Luo Hengzhi?"

Mu Qingyan shook his head.

I was just asking casually, but I didn't think it would be really lucky.

He asked again: "You are familiar with the capital, help me to check to see if there is someone with the surname Luo among the people who have been with Shoushan Hou. Or maybe they are their in-laws. This is just a guess, if you can't find out, forget it. It doesn't take much effort."

"That's no problem." The capital city is his home field, and it's not a secret to check, it's easy.

While eating, Chen Shiliu told him about the major families in the capital and the distribution of some factions.Now that you are in the capital, you must understand these things, and it will be convenient for you to do things.

In fact, Mu Qingyan already knew that on the way to Beijing, Wen Jixue had already established the basics with him.

He has always disliked power struggles, the capital is full of powerful people, all forces are intertwined, the water is deep and muddy, even if he is just a passerby, he still feels a headache.It's such a hassle!

However, he still patiently kept everything in his mind and even analyzed it.

This trip to the capital city is not sure how long it will stay. Since I am here, I have to check the Xue family's affairs back then.There is no need to delve too deeply for the time being, let's start with the few suspicious deaths.

After the meal, Chen Shiliu sent them to the small courtyard where they were resettled.

The location of this small courtyard is very good, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.In front is a Mongolian house, which is not small in scale. There are bookstores, teahouses, brush and ink studios, etc. in succession. There are houses on the left and right, and they are all small houses, but the people living in them are by no means ordinary people.There is a lake behind the house, and willow trees surround the shore, but there is no green now, and there are a few ruined lotuses on the water surface.There is a grass pavilion beside the lake, and there are trees, grass and flowers planted around, which are not as fine as in private houses, which is quite wild.The lake is in the shape of a gourd. There is a stone bridge near the mouth of the lake and a river underneath.

It can be seen that this lake should have been created the day after tomorrow by attracting river water.

All the houses here have back doors, so it is convenient to come here to enjoy the scenery and take a stroll.

Chen Shiliu led them to look at them one by one, and said: "That's why the houses here are very expensive. Most of them are private houses bought, or used as a quiet place for entertainment, or to entertain friends, or to hold poetry clubs Small feast."

The small courtyard has two entrances, with about ten rooms in different sizes. It has been carefully furnished, and is usually taken care of by someone. Chen Shiliu has also cleaned it, so there is no problem to move in directly.I have to say that Chen Shiliu arranged this place very carefully. No matter how nice the inn is, it can't compare to a small private courtyard.

Chen Shiliu asked again: "Should I arrange two servants for you? Take care of the sweeping, watch the door and pass the news, and the kitchen also needs a cook. Even if you don't eat at home, it's convenient to cook soup and get some snacks occasionally. .”

"No need." Wen Jixue declined, and looked at Mu Qingyan: "Who can compare to Ayan's craftsmanship?"

It was the first time Chen Shiliu heard the name "Ayan", his expression changed, and he immediately went to look at Mu Qingyan, but there was no change on his face.He understood in a short time, and the words rolled in his heart, and he just sighed secretly for a long time.

I always feel that Wen Jixue is very dangerous, is Brother Mu really not deceived?

Even though they have known each other for a long time, Chen Shiliu has always been wary of Wen Jixue.

Chen Shiliu was also very aware of Mu Qingyan's temperament, if he really didn't like it, he wouldn't be acting like he is now.He felt a little awkward in his heart, and even more unhappy, feeling that Mu Qingyan had suffered a great loss, but it was really difficult for him to intervene in other people's emotional matters.

It's such a pity that brother Mu has been harmed like this.

Unable to hold back, he glared at Wen Jixue.

Where did Wen Jixue put him in the eye, instead she narrowed her smile provocatively: "For me and Ayan, you have bothered. Thank you."

Chest more stuffy.

Chen Shiliu pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "You don't need to thank me, Brother Mu and I are good friends, so we should entertain them with all our heart."

Mu Qingyan knew that Wen Jixue had deliberately leaked the truth to Chen Shiliu and was also trying to test Chen Shiliu, so he ignored the two of them and ordered Gao Chun Gaodong to go to the kitchen to boil hot water.

He also knew the reason why Wen Jixue didn't want to be a servant. The three of Gao Chun were his own people, and they knew their relationship well.For the sake of freedom, naturally don't want to be kind to outsiders.
