Nongmen Shenjue

With the good jade bought by Wen Jixue, Mu Qingyan recovered much faster this time.

They stayed in Ji Province for a few days and left after the Dragon Boat Festival, but instead of returning to Fenglin, they went to Yiyang Mansion.

Granny Tan's real name is Lin Ruolan, and her ancestral home is from Tianshui County, Yiyang Prefecture.The Lin family is well-known in the county, owning a large area of ​​fertile land, and running a rice store. Lin Ruolan is pampered by her parents, loved by her elder brother, and well-versed in literary and ink. Although she is an outstanding woman, she was raised in a boudoir, she is a standard rich lady.

When Lin Ruolan was in Guanglin Mansion, she showed her wonderful technique of making incense, and she claimed that it was a family skill, which is obviously not true.

Given the circumstances of the Lin family, they don't know how to make incense at all.Lin Ruolan was raised in a deep boudoir, so she was interested in making some rouge pollen, but she definitely didn't know how to make red pills.The red pill is a thing to help love, how can the daughter of a good family get this kind of thing, this thing is worse than the erotic pictures, it is considered to be a low-level method, and it is usually used by brothels.

It is true that Lin Ruolan formulated and developed Hongwan, and she is indeed proficient in many face powders and balms. It takes a long time to learn these things.If you want to make fragrances, you must first recognize all kinds of spices and flowers, understand all kinds of aromas, and develop new recipes.It is common to ask someone to teach you how to make incense, but how important the craft is, it must be superficial to be able to teach people at will, but Lin Ruolan got the essence of it, and even came into contact with Hongwan's concoction.

Of course, there is more than one family in the world that has the same efficacy as Hongwan.

However, there was only a "Grandma Tan" who used red pills to harm people before, and now Gao Liangjun died because of red pills, which naturally aroused people's concern.They decided to take a trip to Tianshui County, first to find out the unknown details of Lin Ruolan, and then to see if the two red pills were made by the same person.

If it was really developed by the same person, then if you find Lin Ruolan, you may be able to know who bought Hongwan back then.

After all, Hongwan and other things are circulated in brothels, and if outsiders want to get them, they will always be impressive.

"Lin Ruolan..." Wen Jixue didn't pay attention to this woman before, and only felt that her vengeance was worthy of praise.Thinking carefully at this moment, I asked a question: "She was 24 years old when she was 'buried in the sea of ​​fire', and she was 28 when she arrived in Guanglin Mansion. She stayed in Guanglin Mansion for two years before going to the capital with Yaoqin. So, how did she Escaping from the sea of ​​fire? Where did she hide during the four years? She knew very well that her enemy was in the capital, so why didn't she go directly to the capital to find opportunities, but instead went to Guanglin?"

Mu Qingyan also said: "Bringing this matter up, there is still something strange. I didn't think it before, but if she was alone, with a horribly disfigured appearance, how did she get that identity document? Could it be that she was saved in the first place? people?"

When investigating Granny Tan's case, there were indeed some areas that were overlooked.

This is also because of discovering that "Grandma Tan" is a false identity, and Lin Ruolan suddenly left Guanglin, attracting everyone's attention to the capital, and ignoring the minutiae.However, it is possible that Yan Lang has investigated carefully, so he can write to ask.

When he arrived in Tianshui County, Mu Qingyan had recovered, and Yan Lang's reply letter was received.

Yan Lang did not go to the capital together at the beginning, and Mu Qingyan wrote to inform him later, but Yan Lang was not idle, and carefully investigated Lin Ruolan's matter, but it was not included in the case file.Whether Lin Ruolan used red pills to kill someone in Guanglin is still uncertain, and knowing about Lin Ruolan, Yan Lang felt sympathetic to him, so he kept the information privately and did not show it to others.

This time when he received Mu Qingyan's letter, Yan Lang sent the information.

For safety's sake, Yan Lang entrusted acquaintances to come here together on a fast horse at the post station.

Yan Lang checked Lin Ruolan's background very carefully, not only the Lin family, but also the brothel, and even the four years after the fire.All in all, looking at what happened to Lin Ruolan, since her family was ruined and her family was destroyed, she was plagued by bad luck and nothing good happened.

Counting the time, Lin Ruolan stayed in Chunfeng Pavilion for eight years.

Chunfeng Pavilion is the leading brothel in Tianshui County. Back then, Lin Ruolan was a well-known woman in the county and had many admirers. Later, her family underwent a great change and she became a brothel, and became the cash cow of Chunfeng Pavilion.A woman's youth is limited, but Lin Ruolan is very beautiful and talented, until she was hit by a fire, she was still beautiful in Chunfeng Pavilion.

According to the information Yan Lang investigated, when Lin Ruolan first fell into the Spring Wind Pavilion, her heart was ashamed and she begged for death several times.However, in this brothel business, there are many tricks, both soft and hard, which finally persuaded Lin Ruolan's heart.Once her heart is alive, how can she seek death?

Thinking about it, Lin Ruolan could be moved by revenge and Luo Jian.

The matter of Lin Ruolan and Luo Jian was not a secret in the local area. Before the accident happened to the Lin family, Luo Jian's desire to marry was obvious. Although he was poor, he was talented and learned well.After the accident in Lin's family, Luo Jian was said to have happened to be "ill". It wasn't until Lin Ruolan fell into prostitution that Luo Jian showed up again and went in and out of the Spring Breeze Pavilion several times.But half a year later, Luo Jian no longer went to Chunfeng Pavilion, but outsiders didn't know that Lin Ruolan would meet Luo Jian in private at that time.

The girls in the building can not only pick up guests in the building, if there are guests to pick up, they can also go to the bureau.

These girls who went to the bureau were accompanied by several people, who seemed to be serving, but were actually monitoring.

In those few years, it was Lin Ruolan who supported Luo Jian, which made him, a poor boy, do nothing.It is said that all things are inferior, but reading is high, and the reason is understood, but the cost of reading is very high, which is not affordable by ordinary people.It was Luo Jian's affection that supported Lin Ruolan when she encountered such cruelty, so she also hoped that the other party would be able to get out of this quagmire in the future and avenge her family.

Unfortunately, people are fickle.

Back then, Lin Ruolan was a lady from a wealthy family, with both talent and looks, and to Luo Jian she was like the bright moon in the sky, so she naturally longed for her sincerely.Later, Lin Ruolan became a fallen flower in the mud, laughing with her every day, not to mention the rich social status, even the most important innocence for a woman was lost. affection?

A fire turned the stunning woman into a terrifying woman.

"Grandma Tan" does exist, and Yan Lang has found the real Granny Tan based on that identity document.As recorded in the household registration, Grandma Tan lost her husband in her early years and had no children. She was the head of the household and had no land under her name. She only lived in three yellow mud houses at the end of the village.The place where she lives is a little far from the village, and it is relatively remote. Originally, there were many weeds, ditches and ridges, and many gravels. She sorted them out one by one and opened them into vegetable fields. The daily expenses were paid out of the vegetable fields.She can also make rouge paste, which is bright in color and even in texture. With this skill, she can get enough food for her to eat.

Seeing that Grandma Tan could make rouge cream, Yan Lang fell in love with her.

Most women can make this rouge cream, the difference is that most people make it very rough, and it takes a lot of trouble to make some, and it takes a lot of fresh flower petals to make some, it's really not worth it, so they are all bought for use.

Granny Tan is able to rely on rouge ointment in exchange for food, and her craftsmanship is naturally extraordinary.

Grandma Tan was not a local at first, and she briefly mentioned it in her household registration. She was a refugee at first, married to Tan Dashan, and settled in the local area.Yiyang Mansion is quite far away from Guanglin, and it has been a long time, so it is difficult to check in detail, so I can't tell the specific origin of Granny Tan. I only know that her surname is "Hua" and that she is called "Hua San". "Mother", but no one called her by this name, they all called her Mrs. Tan, Grandma Tan.

Grandma Tan also had a hard life. She was homeless in her early years and married Tan Dashan for stability.Tan Dashan's family is destitute and lame, and he has not found a wife in his thirties.The two lived a peaceful life, and later they had a son, but he was only four or five years old, and he passed away after a single illness.Within a few years, Tan Dashan went into the mountains to cut firewood, stepped on a poisonous snake, and died before he got home.

"This Granny Tan died three years ago."

It was already impossible to personally ask Granny Tan about the matter.

Check the time again, it was exactly three years ago that Lin Ruolan went to Guanglin.

Yan Lang once found out that Grandma Tan took in a beggar woman, saying that she was pitiful and kept her as a companion.Tan's house is remote, and few people go there at ordinary times. The beggar woman seems to be afraid of people, and she doesn't walk around outside. The only person in the village is known, but rarely seen.

Presumably that person is Lin Ruolan.

The village where Granny Tan lives is just four or five miles outside the county seat.

They did not enter the county seat, but went to the village first.

A winding dirt road spreads forward, with fertile fields on both sides, and the village is located in the green mountains and green waters, quite peaceful and serene.You hardly need to ask, just look at the old address of the Tan family.The village is quite large, with many houses, shaded by trees. There is a pond at the head of the village, and paddy fields on the left and right. There is a small fenced courtyard three or four feet away from the end of the village. There is no one to live in, and it is so dilapidated that half of the house has collapsed.

When I got closer, I found that the fenced yard was intact, and a group of chickens were pecking and eating in the yard.After a closer look, although half of the house has collapsed, the other two are still intact. The door is open, and there is nothing inside. It seems to be used as a place to raise chickens.

In addition, there is a small vegetable field next to the yard, and all kinds of green vegetables and beans grow very well.

"What are you doing?" Two boys came running not far away, the older one was eleven or twelve years old, the younger one was six or seven years old, holding a grasshopper cage made of grass roots in their hands.

Mu Qingyan looked at the yard, then looked at the alert appearance of the two little brothers, and asked with a smile, "Is this your home?"

The big one nods.

"What about your elders?"

"My parents are at home."

Looking up at the sun, it was almost noon, and it was time to make lunch.The old house of the Tan family was obviously not a place for people to live in. The family asked two children to come over and watch the chickens to prevent anyone from stealing the chickens.

Mu Qingyan didn't say anything more, stood outside the fence gate, glanced around, and turned to Wen Jixue.

Wen Jixue understood, knowing that he was going to go backtracking.

This time I'm just looking at what happened three years ago, so there's no need to be nervous.
