Nongmen Shenjue

I found a place nearby in Xingzi Lake, rested for two or three days, and occasionally went out to rent a boat.There are lotuses in the lake. At this time, the lotus leaves are just formed, and clusters of them float on the water, adding color to the lake.

Mu Qingyan once again looked back at the fire that night, when Lin Ruolan fell into the lake.

There were several small boats on the lake, and the lights on the shore were bright. It stands to reason that after Lin Ruolan fell into the water, as long as she didn't sink to the bottom, there would always be traces and be discovered.However, when she entered the water, the hall was already on fire, especially when she smashed the window, the flames swept out, and was finally discovered and shouted.Water and fire are ruthless, even if the buildings near the water are caught in fire, it is difficult to save a little bit. At present, people are either fighting the fire or paying attention to the fire, and they don’t pay attention to whether there are people floating in the water.

This is not only the misfortune of the victims, but also the luck of Lin Ruolan.

This lake is connected with another small lake, and there is a gap between them. Although Lin Ruolan is unable to struggle, she is still alive after all, floating up and down along the gap to that small lake.

It's a little bit out of the way, and there are basically no people at night.

Lin Ruolan followed the waves to the shore, her burnt face emerged from the water, and under the moonlight, she was extremely terrifying.Maybe it's because she has a strong will to survive, and she slowly opened her eyes. She instinctively climbed ashore, lay down for a long time, her throat rolled, and she couldn't utter a single word. He touched the turf on the ground, and blood flowed from the burnt skin.

She didn't have the strength to stand up at all, and it was a miracle that she survived such severe burns and soaked in water again.

She just crawled forward, over the barren grassland, over the field ridge, over the dirt ditch... On the way, she stopped several times, motionless, and almost thought she was dead, but she held her breath and continued to climb.Finally, a family appeared in front of her. She stopped outside the fenced courtyard, and she didn't even have the strength to push the bamboo fence away. She raised her limp hand, patted the fence twice, and fell down weakly.

It was already the fifth watch, and there was movement in the farmhouse not far away, and this family got up early.

A woman with a dignified face came out of the house, she was neatly tidied up, the sky was bright, but she saw the unconscious Lin Ruolan by the fence.The old woman was surprised, and when she got closer, she saw that it was a young girl by the burnt and torn clothes, and hurriedly got her into the house carefully.

This woman is none other than Granny Tan.

Grandma Tan turned on the lamp, and when she saw Lin Ruolan's miserable state, she gasped.Immediately fetching water to scrub, Lin Ruolan was covered with wounds, burns, friction damage, bloody water was exchanged basin after basin.Granny Tan tried to call twice, but got no response, she held up the lamp and took a closer look, she actually recognized the person: "Miss Ruolan?!"

The two had known each other for a long time.

I came to Tianshui County to find out the source of the red pill.

At present, it is not certain that Gao Liangjun's red pills come from Tianshui County, but if it is here, the blender is either Granny Tan or Lin Ruolan.Mu Qingyan hoped that it was Lin Ruolan. After all, Lin Ruolan was still alive. If she shot Hongwan, there would be someone to ask for clues.Furthermore, Lin Ruolan went to the capital to take revenge back then, and it went smoothly, maybe it was planned for a long time, or someone helped her.

In order to figure this out, Mu Qingyan spent half a month visiting the old Tan family site three times.

He thought, Lin Ruolan encountered a catastrophe, and after being rescued by Granny Tan, her emotions were ups and downs, and she could easily confide in her.If Granny Tan taught how to make balsamic pills after saving her, she would definitely start from the first year.Therefore, he took a lot of effort to quickly go back to the first year, and the hard work paid off.

In the second half of the first year, when Lin Ruolan was emotionally stable and her injury improved, Grandma Tan taught her how to make incense.

From this point of view, the red pill at Gao Liangjun's place has nothing to do with Lin Ruolan.

On the contrary, Granny Tan's words of consolation to Lin Ruolan were quite meaningful: "As long as you live, there will always be a day of revenge, but I have no chance. It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger. It is difficult to paint the bones. Knowing people knows the face but not the heart. I have misread it too. Man, worse than you. I have been engaged to that man since I was a child, and I thought I knew him well, but who knows, he is a jackal in human skin!"

Lin Ruolan aroused a sympathy, and asked with hatred: "Why didn't the mother-in-law kill him for revenge?"

Grandma Tan sighed in a low voice: "How do I get revenge? I know him a little, and he knows me a lot. Besides, he's already dead. Where can I find him?"

"Dead?" Lin Ruolan was taken aback.

Grandma Tan lowered her eyes and said no more.

Granny Tan kept secret about her life experience, and she only revealed a few words to Lin Ruolan, and refused to say much.On the contrary, she said that her surname is Hua, and her natal family has made incense for generations. Her name is "Sanniang", but she was born in the warm spring of March, and she is the only daughter in the family.Judging from her nostalgic tone, when she was at home, she was well-loved, her parents were harmonious, and her family was rich.

"Hongwan's clue is broken." Mu Qingyan was helpless.

Years of experience in investigating cases made him feel that there was a secret hidden in Granny Tan, but he was not sure whether the red pill came from her hand.After all, there are many stories and secrets in the world. Women are weak and suffer more. There is not only Granny Tan, nor Lin Ruolan alone.

Wen Jixue is used to this, disappointment is inevitable, but it is not unacceptable.

"Wait for news from the Gao family."

When they left Ji Province, they followed Hong Wan's line to investigate, but they didn't give up on the Gao family completely.Especially the two servants serving Gao Liangjun, for their own safety, concealed the real cause of Gao Liangjun's death.Even so, these two people are capital crimes, but life crimes are inevitable, and the Gao family will definitely blame them for not serving them carefully.Furthermore, the relationship between the two of them and Gao Liangjun cannot be hidden from everyone. Since Gao Liangjun is dead, the Gao family will definitely deal with it.

As long as the two are not dead now, they can always be taught to speak.

Or, you can get clues from Benimaru.

From the very beginning, they didn't regard Gao Liangjun's death as an accident, but a conspiracy.Using the red pill to induce the onset of the disease must have known Gao Liangjun very well.You know, Gao Liangjun has heart palpitations. Many people know that there are many taboos for this kind of disease, and he can't be excited, so naturally he can't take drugs to boost his excitement.The person behind the scenes is still using Hongwan, so he must be aware of Gao Liangjun's special hobby, and this hobby, even within the Gao family, is known to a few people, and it is a secret that cannot be revealed.

In this way, Gao Liangjun's matter and Huang Li's matter are so similar, they all died under their preferences.

If these few people hadn't been involved in the matter of the Xue family, the court would definitely not have become suspicious, and it would have been treated as an accident.

So what if I checked it, it gave an unexpected result after all.

The list was carefully reviewed again, Mu Qingyan could not find anyone to check, and after thinking about it for a long time, he always felt that it was impossible to be so neat.

"Is this list complete?" Even though he knew Wen Jixue's prudence, he still couldn't help asking.

Wen Jixue's brows were gloomy: "Except for the dead, everyone else is on top, even those who have been disarmed and returned to the fields are also on top."

Mu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat: "Dead? Is that person already dead?"

"How is that possible!" Wen Jixue retorted intuitively, and then said: "This list was not included later, but the generals in the army at the time, and those who could contact my father were all on it. People who died after the incident, but they were suspicious, I also checked."

He took out another piece of paper, which also had many names on it, followed by different times of death.

Mu Qingyan didn't pay attention to this piece of paper before, but now he read it carefully and asked, "Is your father's staff not on the list?"

Wen Jixue nodded: "Those who died following my father are not on it."

He did suspect that someone had betrayed the Xue family, but he respected and ashamed those confidantes of the Xue family who were imprisoned and even died tragically because of being implicated by the Xue family, so he did not list those people on the list.

Mu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then said: "What if he cheated to death?"

Wen Jixue's eyes flashed coldly: "Ayan, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing that he was agitated, Mu Qingyan's voice was still calm: "Look at the end of Huang Li and the three of them. If the goal is achieved, the three of them are useless, and even to prevent leaks, all of them will be silenced. This plan must have been decided from the very beginning. , Then, he must have thought of a way out for himself. What way out is better than 'fake death and get away'? Maybe he has changed his name since then, maybe he changed his name..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Jixue asked aloud: "You mean, a certain person he was involved in because of Xue's family died outside, but in fact he didn't die?"

"I have this suspicion." If not, why did they search so much, but still couldn't find the shadow of that person.He had to guess that they were investigating in the wrong direction, and the suspect was wrong, and that person might have already jumped out of their circle of suspicion.

Wen Jixue got up and walked to the window, without speaking for a long time.

After a long time, his voice was frosty: "No matter who he is, even if he is really dead, I will pry the coffin and flog the corpse!"

Mu Qingyan said: "You send someone to check on Granny Tan, but now you can't say whether it will be useful or not, just give it a try."

Hua Sanniang, perhaps her real name, has made incense for generations.However, it is not easy to check. For one thing, the so-called generation-by-generation incense making does not refer to big families, or small workshops. Shang, county, or Fucheng?There are so many state capitals in the world, and there are flower families that existed more than 30 years ago. It is really like finding a needle in a haystack.

He just cared about Granny Tan's words.

He added: "These two months have not been fruitless. Although the person behind the scenes has not been found out, it is confirmed that Huang Li Gao Liangjun's death was not accidental. How many people do you have?"

Wen Jixue knew what he meant: "What else do you want to find out, just say it."

"Lin Ruolan. Let's check her whereabouts first." Mu Qingyan glanced at him. Although his face was calm, the corners of his eyes were faintly red, and he sighed inwardly, without revealing anything on his face: "Let's record the original list of the dead."

Those who can be implicated to death by the Xue family are all confidantes of the Xue family, and they are also people who refuse to betray the Xue family until their death, but now they have to suspect that one of them is the real "planner" and "betrayer", How could Wen Jixue remain indifferent.Even without asking, Wen Jixue knows those people, maybe they are very familiar with them, they are the "uncles" who watched him grow up.
