Nongmen Shenjue

Two days later, there was an autumn rain, and the weather in the mountains suddenly turned cold.

Early in the morning, Chen Shiliu came to the villa and went straight to Mianfengju.

Mianfengju is the courtyard where Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue live. Jiang Xiaonan and Lian Xin work here, usually only in the front hall.Chen Shiliu is a regular visitor of the villa, the servants did not stop him, Jiang Xiaonan served tea, Lian Xin went to report later.

Mu Qingyan heard that Chen Shiliu came again so soon, after a little thought, he guessed that it had something to do with what he said two days ago.It was cold, he put on a cloak and came to the hall, Chen Shiliu couldn't wait to stand up.

"Brother Mu, I received a letter." Chen Shiliu handed him the letter in his hand, and said, "Qi Nanfeng was about to open the door when he got up early, and found a letter on the ground by the door, which should have been stuffed through the crack of the door." It came in. In addition to the content on the paper you saw, Brother Mu, there are two 100 taels of silver notes."

The content of the letter is very simple, it is a commission, 200 taels is an advance payment, and if the commission is completed, a balance of 400 taels will be given.The entrusted signer is "Yan Wu".

Presumably "Yan Wu" is a pseudonym, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the commission by letter.

Unwilling client...

The task entrusted in the letter is not about missing people, but about finding people!

Chen Shiliu couldn't hold back his words, let alone let him run over early in the morning, it was precisely because of this letter that even though it had been handed over to Mu Qingyan, he still couldn't help talking: "This commission is really strange, The person I was looking for was also strange, so I told us a story and asked to find the person in the story. Brother Mu, I think it is the person who has been wandering outside the gate of the Godsend Bureau!"

The letter talked about a rich businessman who was defrauded of his money on his way home.This kind of thing is also common, because most of the games are set up with beautiful women, which is also commonly known as the beauty game, and later generations often call it fairy dance.

[The rich businessman is Master Yan, who is nearly forty years old and never married. He only cares about business and accumulating wealth. He is very indifferent to women, and because he often travels outside, he has heard too many stories about people using women to cheat him, so he is even more vigilant.

This time I was going to go back to my hometown, and I set off from Fujiang Mansion, carrying all my wealth, and accompanied by a servant.They wanted to travel by water, so they rented two boats, Master Yan took one, and the servants took one.Master Yan once made an agreement with the ship owner that apart from them, no one else is allowed on board, especially his ship is not allowed to have any female relatives approaching, and the ship owner agreed one by one.

The trip went smoothly at the beginning, and after a day or two of sailing, Master Yan suddenly found a woman behind the boat, although unkempt, but slender, with skin like white jade, dressed in white, very charming.Master Yan was furious and called the boatman to question him.The boatman knelt and kowtowed, and the woman hurried over to beg.The woman said that she was in the same hometown as Master Yan, and she was looking for her relatives thousands of miles away, but she couldn't find her relatives, and her parents died, so she wanted to go back to her hometown.She is only a weak woman, and she is worried about her safety on the road. If she takes someone else's boat, she is worried that someone will kidnap her or murder her. I heard that Master Yan strictly ordered that there be female relatives on board, and I think he is a gentleman, so I asked the boatman to hide behind the boat. one line.If Master Yan doesn't allow her to be on the same boat, she has no choice but to throw herself into the river and die.Seeing that Master Yan was silent, the woman really got up and wanted to jump into the river, the boatman hurriedly stopped her.

Master Yan is indeed feminine, and he is very wary of beauty bureaus, but he is not hard-hearted.Such a lonely and helpless woman begged him, if he refused to agree, would it really force people to die?It may be a scam, or it may be a desperate person.

Helpless, Master Yan had no choice but to agree, and told the woman not to enter the middle cabin where he was. ]

Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, and said to Chen Shiliu: "Master Yan promised to keep him, and he is already in the trap."

Chen Shiliu sighed: "The boat has left the shore for a day or two. If you don't take this woman with you, she will jump into the river. I just can't bear it."

Mu Qingyan did not say anything about placing women on the second boat. Men and women are different, masters and servants are different. The second boat is full of men and servants, and it is crowded. It would be very inconvenient for women to go there , besides, at that time, women will definitely talk about their reputation, and once again "rather die than follow".

This group of people are used to cheating, and they know that Master Yan is vigilant, so they naturally want to be "perfect" in every way, forcing Master Yan to step into the trap.

Even so, in the end it was a deception, and Mr. Yan must be fooled.If Master Yan is determined, the liars will have nothing to do.

[This woman calls herself Xiaoyu, and she has passed Ming Road in front of Master Yan and settled down.Since then, whenever Master Yan eats, he always finds the food delicious, and the boatman will say that Xiaoyu made it himself.Whenever the clothes and socks he used were clean and fresh, the boatman would remind him that they were washed by Xiaoyu himself.Another morning, Master Yan got up early to enjoy breakfast, but the servants were still sleeping soundly.After a while, the boatman brought a stack of shortbread and told him that Xiaoyu bought it for Master Yan when he went ashore.It was March when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and it was still slightly cold in the morning and evening, especially colder above the river, but Xiaoyu bought cakes for him early in the cold.Another day, Mr. Yan heard the sound of falling into the water in the cabin, and the boatman shouted: Xiaoyu bought cakes for Mr. Yan and fell into the water!After everyone braved the cold river to save him, Master Yan put Xiaoyu on the boat in his own cabin.After Xiaoyu woke up, she was very embarrassed, and immediately went back to the back cabin.After that, Xiaoyu served Master Yan with the same care and attention.

One night, there was a wind blowing on the river, the boat swayed, the lamps and candles in Master Yan's cabin were extinguished, and Xiaoyu suddenly came in with a lamp.Xiaoyu was wearing a light yellow shirt, revealing her breasts, helping him to light the candle, and then left.Another night, it rained on the river, and the rainwater leaked into the cabin along the seams of the boat. Xiaoyu came over, untied his belt to plug the leak, and wiped the wet bed for him. Master Ling Yan couldn't help holding her hand, thinking of keeping her behind.Xiaoyu pulled out her hand and smiled, and left again.

On the second day, the food Master Yan ate was even more delicious. He had never eaten this kind of fresh fish.However, after [-] or [-] hours, Master Yan began to have abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and the symptoms were like diarrhea.Master Yan suddenly fell ill, and the servants were lazy, so Xiaoyu took care of him.Xiaoyu took the initiative to enter the cabin to take care of her, boiled and fed herbal medicines, and took care of the toilet. She was attentive and considerate, and most of her illnesses were cured within a few days.

Master Yan woke up in the middle of the night and saw Xiaoyu curled up beside the bed to take care of him, his clothes were thin and shivering from the cold, and because of lack of sleep, he dozed off again and again, so he was naturally very affectionate.To persuade her to go somewhere, Xiaoyu refused.Master Yan said to let her sleep at the end of the bed by his feet, and Xiaoyu obeyed.Afterwards, the two of them got along like a married couple, and Master Yan even handed over the key of the cage to her for safekeeping.It's just that Mr. Yan's illness is always repeated. He recovered in a few days, and fell ill again within two days. It was all thanks to Xiaoyu's meticulous care.Later, Master Yan heard that the two servants had escaped, and then the young servant also ran away, but he didn't go into details, and thought it would be good to leave, he was so lazy, not as good as Xiaoyu alone.

One day, Master Yan remembered that it had been several months since he boarded the ship and set off to return home, but he was still on the way.I felt that my illness delayed my trip, and because I had Xiaoyu as my companion, I didn't worry about it.When he checked the cage, he found that all the belongings in the box were gone, so he hurriedly asked Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu told him that the servant stole 1000 taels when he fled, and the servant stole 1000 taels when he fled, and he also took medicine for his illness, rent to the boatman, and so on.Xiaoyu was worried while talking.Master Yan is obsessed with Xiaoyu, so he is not suspicious, and he doesn't even go after the servant who stole the money immediately. Instead, he comforts her, saying that there is still a lot of money hidden under the bed, so that she can feel at ease.

One day, Xiaoyu said that she would go ashore to buy him medicine and some food.Mr. Yan waited from morning to night, but no one came back. He was sick repeatedly, his vitality was seriously injured, and it was difficult for him to walk. When he climbed out of the cabin, even the boatman disappeared.He went to check the money under the dark cabin of the bed, and it was already empty. He forced himself to go ashore, but found that he was still in a province after walking for several months.

When the government came, they found nothing, only a fish basket with half a basket of fresh fish in the back cabin.This fish is mackerel mackerel. Although it tastes fresh, many people don’t know how to cook it. After eating it, they are poisoned. The symptoms of poisoning are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. They will recover in two or three days. Eat again, and relapse. ]

This group of people is very sophisticated, and they reacted very accurately to Master Yan's mentality. They set up tricks step by step to deceive people into all kinds of delusions and let them be at their mercy.

The commissioner, Yan Wu, just wanted to commission them to find Xiaoyu.

"These liars are too powerful and terrifying." Even if Chen Shiliu was a bystander, he still felt that this group of liars were skilled in deception.

For example, when dealing with Master Yan, there are no one to be gentle and seductive, and methods are used to isolate people.Master Yan's servants may not have escaped, everything was said by Xiaoyu, if they were not bought, they were dismissed in the name of Master Yan.This master Yan was coaxed by Xiaoyu, just because he didn't arrive after several months of travel, but he didn't pay attention to him, so he knew how powerful he was.

"Could this Yan Wu be a relative of Mr. Yan?" Having been cheated of all his property, and his body was seriously injured, it is unknown whether Mr. Yan can survive this blow.

Mu Qingyan pondered for a moment: "Maybe it's just a pseudonym. The letter only said that the boarding place was Fujiang Mansion, and didn't say where Master Yan's hometown is. It should be hidden intentionally, and the surname should also be fake. These scammers are skilled in deception. , should be very familiar with the Fujiang Prefecture area, if you want to track it down, you have to go there."

Chen Shiliu said again: "The letter didn't mention how long ago it was."

"These people must have cheated more than once. Maybe the matter of 'Master Yan' was a clue given by the other party. They must have found out when they went to Fujiang Mansion. Then, the boatman, Xiaoyu and others will not use their real names. Using aliases, even cheating together on the river, they may not show up on the river for a year or two, and after a long time, who will recognize them when they come back?" If not, this kind of big deception must be the focus of the government's arrest.

Chen Shiliu asked with a smile: "Brother Mu, are you interested? If you can spend 600 taels of silver to find someone, if you have been deceived before, it must be a big case of being deceived."

Mu Qingyan thought that Wen Jixue's return date was uncertain, and he was idle and bored. This case was interesting, so he nodded: "If you don't mind me stealing the business, I will take it."

"Then it's a deal!" When Chen Shiliu saw the letter, he also thought about searching for it himself. Later, He Chuan said that those crooks were too cunning, and it would be good to say that if they didn't find anything, he was afraid that the ship would capsize in the gutter.Chen Shiliu felt that it was reasonable, so he came to Mu Qingyan.
