Nongmen Shenjue

In Mu Qingyan's line of sight, seeing Xiaoyu and other three groups of people coming to the tea stall at Sanchakou one after another, two people turned their heads to look over.One of the two was an old woman, and the other was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. There was a big thick rattan basket at their feet, covered with a floral blue cloth, just like ordinary grandparents.

"Good daughter, old man, you are back!" Seeing them, the old woman greeted them with a happy face, hugged Xiaoyu and asked for warmth, but she looked behind them from the corner of her eyes, as if she was checking for tails.

The little boy also flung himself into the arms of the old grandson and called grandpa, and called elder brother to the big family and others. It looked like a very ordinary family.

At this moment, the old man among the few people supported his status as the head of the family, and said: "Okay, let's go home first. This business trip is going well, so hurry home and rest."

A group of people walked towards the road on the left.

Mu Qingyan heard the owner of the tea stall chatting with the customers: "The old woman brought her grandson to sit around every now and then, saying that the family members went out to run the ship to deliver the goods. She was always worried. Now that it's better, it can be regarded as hope that people will come back. gone."

"Then why are you bringing the girl with you?"

"It's said that the bad girl went to stay at a relative's house. Seeing that the girl looks good, she is at a good age. Maybe she is going to see someone's family, so I can't say it outright."

The owner of the tea stall was only familiar with the old woman, so he chatted with the resting guests before talking about other things.

It seemed that the old woman was the one who stayed behind.

If they were to leave Pushui County, they probably wouldn't continue to take these three carriages.When the government receives the report, it will definitely find out what to do. The coachmen have been doing business at the ferry all year round, and the government will not fail to answer questions, so the government will soon know where Xiaoyu and others are going.Xiaoyu and his party were so cautious that they didn't abandon the car directly at the Sanchakou because they were carrying a big suitcase, but they would definitely use their own means of transportation when they left Pushui County.

The old lady stayed here to respond, she should be responsible for this aspect.

Mu Qingyan followed the road on the left for a while, and saw the village, fields, and forests. Xiaoyu and his party got off the car in the direction of the village. After a few carriages left, they did not enter the village, but continued to move forward. Finally entered the mountain.It was a mountain forest, the rolling peaks were not too high, and there were faint yellow temples in the forest.As a foreign population, it is a good choice to stay overnight in a temple, especially for an old woman with a small grandson, which is safe and avoids a lot of trouble.

Mu Qingyan didn't go to the temple, and within half an hour, two cars appeared.The first one is a carriage, driven by Duhu, and the latter one is a loading cart, but it also has a canopy. One person drives the cart, and three people sit in it. There are sacks piled inside, which are probably used to conceal people's eyes.

In the previous carriage, Xiaoyu, the old woman, and the young boy.

The young boy looked smart and cute when he was at the Sanchakou, but now he looked mature, holding a candy cake and eating while asking, "Sister, shall we go back to Anzhou by land? How smooth is the waterway."

"Let's eat your candy cake!" Xiaoyu glared at her and asked the old woman, "Is Godmother okay here?"

"Don't worry, even if the government finds the temple, they won't be able to find anything." The old woman was confident.

Mu Qingyan cut off the ability, slightly surprised.

The young boy is also a liar, he guessed it, but he didn't expect to hear an exact location from the other party.Probably because the environment was too safe, so he was so defenseless.However, this little boy is still a little less knowledgeable, similar to Xiaoyu and the others, even under the same environment, his speech is vague.They have formed a habit of subconsciously blurring certain information that involves their true identity.

Anzhou should be a safe point for them, but after two or three years, Xiaoyu and others may have moved.Even if it hasn't been transferred, maybe it is cheating elsewhere now, and I don't know when it will be.

Therefore, the progress is not optimistic.

However, if there are no other clues, Anzhou still has to go.

The next day, Mu Qingyan returned to Fujiang Mansion under the cover of darkness.

Chen Shiliu woke up early in the morning to find that he was back, and immediately reported to him: "Brother Mu, as you said, Yan Wu showed up! I guessed right, it was the one who was wandering outside the gate of the Shenjue Bureau back then." The young man! I have been observing around for the past two days, and there are a few suspicious people wandering around. They should be from Mr. Du or Mr. Li. Then yesterday afternoon, that young man came to stay in this inn without any precautions. I had a face-to-face meeting with him. I was fine, and he yelled, turned around and ran away. I asked someone to inquire, and he went to live in another inn."

"Do you know the history of that person?"

Chen Shiliu smiled slyly and said, "I asked He Chuan to inquire about it. I spent some money and asked it from the shopkeeper of the inn. Should you invest in a shop? The shopkeeper needs to check his household registration and road guide for registration. The man's surname is Yan. Yan Heng, from Changtai County."

"Changtai County?"

Chen Shiliu also smiled: "Yeah, what a coincidence, not only has the same surname as Master Yan, but also lives in the same place, and he pays so much attention to this matter. I guess Yan Yu should be the nephew of Master Yan. "

Mu Qingyan also thought it was a coincidence, but...

"If he is the nephew of Mr. Yan, if he wants to investigate this matter, he can just entrust it directly. Why hide it?"

"This..." Chen Shiliu couldn't figure it out either.

"Invite someone to meet you!" Mu Qingyan felt that there was no need to go around, just ask directly.

He Chuan made a trip, and after a long delay, he finally invited someone over.

The young man who came in outside the door was similar in age to Chen 16, white and elegant, and dressed in elegant silk and satin clothes. Compared with Chen [-]'s aristocratic family, this Yan Heng is a rich man with a bit of a bookish air. It makes people look very pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Chen." Yan Heng looked at the two with a nervous expression.

Mu Qingyan asked straight to the point: "Why is Mr. Yan here?"

"I..." Yan Heng opened his mouth, his voice lowered a bit: "I came with you two."

"why?"

"...I think it's a coincidence that you came to Fujiang Mansion. Come and find out. You are really looking into my third uncle's affairs."

"Master Yan who was deceived back then was your third uncle?"

"Yes."

"You didn't write this letter?" Mu Qingyan took out the previous entrustment letter.

Yan Heng looked at it and shook his head quickly: "How could it be, it wasn't me, I didn't know about it."

"What did you go to Fenglin County for?" Mu Qingyan didn't care about his denial.

"I, I originally wanted to entrust you to investigate this matter." Yan Heng sighed, and told the truth: "Third uncle was hit hard by what happened back then. After returning home, he was afraid of being ridiculed, so he went to another place soon. It's just that he is not as energetic as he was when he was young. What's more, when he planned to return to his hometown, he was in poor health. When this year's summer began, he fell ill, and he was very sick. I'm afraid... the third uncle didn't I got married and have no children, so I want to leave the shop to me. The capital of my family’s business was also given by my third uncle. Later, when I was studying, it was my third uncle who took the trouble to hire a good teacher. I just thought... I want to find out who Liar, but..."

Yan Heng didn't seem to know what to say for a moment.

"Why hesitate? Find the liar and avenge your third uncle!" Chen Shiliu didn't understand his struggle.

Yan Heng smiled wryly: "But my third uncle has always missed that girl Xiaoyu. In private, he told me that even if he was cheated, he didn't hate Xiaoyu. It was because he couldn't stand the temptation. He just felt sad. If Xiaoyu If he is willing to go home, he will definitely marry her. Naturally, all the property in the family will belong to her. Why bother to lie to others. Alas, my third uncle has a knot in his heart. I want to find him, but I am afraid of finding him What if Xiaoyu cheats on her again knowing that my third uncle doesn't forget her?"

Chen Shiliu couldn't help but said: "If you find someone, you have to go to jail. Don't you plan to report to the police? Are you really going to bring him to your third uncle?"

Yan Heng laughed dryly, obviously he really thought about it that way.

Mu Qingyan doesn't care about these things, he only cares about the real client: "Since you didn't commission it, who is this 'Yan Wu'? Another deceived person?"

Yan Heng said suddenly: "If we talk about victims, I know two."

"You know?" Chen Shiliu stared at him.

Yan Heng nodded: "Ever since I knew about my third uncle, I have been very concerned about liars. I usually like to make friends and listen to stories in teahouses, so I have heard a lot about liars. My third uncle was caught in the beauty trap. , I drew Xiaoyu’s portrait based on Uncle San’s description, and whenever there were similar scammers, I would find the victim to identify them. Because of this, I know that there are two people who were deceived by Xiaoyu.”

This is simply a surprise.

Yan Heng said again: "I was studying at Fucheng Academy, Xianghua Mansion, and one of the two people who were deceived was from Xianghua Mansion. This man was on his way home and stayed overnight in a deserted temple. A few people. He was coaxed by the other party and drank the hot soup cooked by the other party. When he woke up, all his money was stolen. The other person was from a neighboring county, a foreign businessman, and the liar lived next door. He pretended to be the daughter of a good family. Greedy for beauty, climbed the wall to go to the appointment at the woman's invitation, was blocked by the woman's brother, had to pay a large sum of money to get out."

"What are the names of these two people? Didn't report to the official?"

"I reported to the official, and both of them reported to the official, but the liar ran away long ago. Of these two people, one is surnamed Xu and the other is surnamed Wang."

"Xu, Xu..." Mu Qingyan picked up the previous entrustment letter and read it again, and suddenly smiled: "It's him!"

"Brother Mu, what are you talking about?" Chen Shiliu didn't understand.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said: "Here we played a word game, the word 'Yan Wu', isn't it just 'Xu'!"

With this reminder, Chen Shiliu suddenly realized: "It turns out that when the word 'Xu' is opened, it just reads as 'Yan Wu'. Yan Wu and Yan Wu are indeed a simple word game. Could it be that this person wrote the letter of entrustment?" What? It’s just to check for liars, what’s wrong with you?”

Mu Qingyan didn't understand for a while, so he could only ask for more information about this person.
