Nongmen Shenjue

The victim surnamed Xu, whose full name is Xu Shaoyang.

Xu Shaoyang and the businessman surnamed Wang were cheated very shortly, and the location was very close. Calculated from the time, after defrauding the businessman surnamed Wang, he met Xu Shaoyang on the way out and cheated another one by the way.

Xu Shaoyang was deceived in the third and fourth months of the new year.

The Xu family is a big family, and started with wine making. Their family is most famous for Four Seasons Wine, which caters to the changes of the four seasons. It is very popular with nobles in the palace, and a batch is paid as tribute every year.Although Xu Shaoyang is a descendant, he is not the head of the family, so he was not able to participate in the family's core business, and now runs a winery in Xianghua Mansion.

As Yan Heng said, he remembered one thing: "That's right. This Xu Shaoyang, I don't think he told the truth to the government. He reported to the government in early April, but he returned to Xianghua Mansion at the end of March. About half a month. It is said that he lost a lot of property, especially after he reported to the police, he was very anxious and was still offering rewards. He should really hope to catch the liar as soon as possible to recover the loss, so I don’t understand why it took him so long to report to the police Of course, it is also possible that he didn't take it seriously at first and was looking for it in private."

But everyone knows that personal strength is limited, and the government not only has people, but also experience and various conveniences. Since Xu Shaoyang does not reject reporting to officials, the normal way is to report to officials as quickly as possible.

"It's simple! He must have lost something that he doesn't want people to know." Chen Shiliu opened his mouth to guess, and then analyzed: "Look, he didn't report to the official in time, but the anxiety is real. He didn't make the entrustment Show up and use a pseudonym to make people think that your Yan family is investigating, so he must have concerns. However, he has already reported to the government, so he is afraid that people will find out that we have been entrusted?"

Mu Qingyan listened and asked Yan Heng: "Is the government still investigating?"

Yan Heng shook his head: "It's also strange. After several months of investigation, nothing was found, so I stopped the investigation. Xu Shaoyang seems to have given up. If he doesn't press the government, the government will be silent."

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "Perhaps Xu Shaoyang commissioned him not to show up because he wanted to attract attention. No matter what concerns he has, it is our purpose to find liars."

Mu Qingyan asked Gao Chun to fetch a piece of paper, and on the paper roughly marked Fujiang Prefecture, Pushui County...Xianghua Prefecture...Anzhou...but the scope of activities of Xiaoyu and others is far away from Anzhou, probably Adhering to the principle that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests, they are afraid of attracting attention.They cheated the businessman surnamed Wang, obviously setting up a trick, but they bumped into Xu Shaoyang by accident, but Xu Shaoyang not only acted like a rich man, but also ate Xiaoyu's ecstasy soup, Xiaoyu and others followed suit and made the order.

Two orders in a row are bound to yield a lot, so Xiaoyu and others are likely to stay in Anzhou and wait for the outside world to calm down.

Thinking about this, Mu Qingyan immediately decided to go to Anzhou immediately.

Of course, Yan Heng will not be told when he goes to Anzhou.

"Do you have any clues? Can I go with you?" Yan Heng's eyes lit up, and he really asked.

"In order not to startle the snake, I can't take you with me." Mu Qingyan refused.

Chen Shiliu also said: "Don't worry, I will tell you the result."

Yan Heng also knew that it was hard to force him, and he couldn't do much to help, so he nodded, and under Chen Shiliu's persuasion, he left Fujiang mansion by boat the next day.

Mu Qingyan said to Chen Shiliu: "You stay in Fujiang Mansion."

"Ah? Brother Mu, is there anything else going on here?" Chen Shiliu was a little unhappy. He seemed to be going to catch those liars.

"I want you to keep an eye on Du Sanye here, especially his wife Lu Yunniang! Du Sanye is secretly watching us. If I go to Anzhou, he will definitely send someone to follow. I suspect that Lu Yunniang cheated like Xiaoyu when she was young. Even Mr. Du himself is not clean, he is really in a hurry, he may not know what to do. You just keep an eye on it, safety is the top priority, if you can't do it, go to the government."

Hearing what he said, Chen Shiliu no longer insisted: "Brother Mu, just don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on this side. Be careful too!"

It was raining heavily when we arrived in Anzhou.

The rain was too heavy, so Mu Qingyan entered the city in a carriage and did not get off until he was in front of the inn. Gao Chun held an umbrella, and half of his clothes were still wet by the wind and rain.Fortunately, I was wearing a cloak, and I didn't feel comfortable until I visited the guest room and poured a cup of hot tea.

The rain didn't stop the next day, but it became much lighter, so Mu Qingyan took an umbrella and went to the street.

He has a portrait of Xiaoyu from Yan Heng in his hand, but he can't take the portrait and look for it all over the city, not to mention the efficiency, it's too frightening, and it's easy to be scammed away.Furthermore, Xiaoyu is a girl's family after all. If she was in Anzhou City, she would not often show her face outside. The chance of meeting someone who has seen her is very small, and the other party is likely to tip off the news.

I don't know my real name or where I live, so I can only find out in Anzhou.Anzhou is very big, Mu Qingyan first excluded the surrounding villages, Xiaoyu and others always go out two or three times a year, if they lived in the village, it would be too conspicuous and unreasonable.If you want to go out legitimately without being suspected, you can do business!

Anzhou is also a large continent, naturally prosperous, and there are many shops in the city.

Xiaoyu and others must have their own shops, so they can be free and flexible. The shops will not be too big or too simple, and they should be ordinary and not special.To be on the safe side, people should be arranged in the shop. When going out to cheat, there must be someone guarding the shop, so that outsiders can't see the clues.Then Xiaoyu... As a girl, she would not do business with her family, but every time Xiaoyu must go, there must be a reasonable reason to hide it from her neighbors.

It was too slow to find a person alone, and his painting skills were not good, so he could only inform Gao Chun and Jiao Li of the appearance and figure characteristics of Du Hu and others seen in the retrospective, and suggested that the troops be divided into two groups.Originally planned to divide the army into three groups, but Jiao Li was worried about his safety, so he had to let Gao Chun go to the south of the city, and he took Jiao Li to the north of the city.

Start with the busiest avenues.

For three or four days in a row, there was no gain.

As expected, Third Master Du sent someone to follow him secretly, but Mu Qingyan didn't pay any attention to those two people right now.

The weather cleared up this day, the sun came out and it was warm, and there were more pedestrians on the street.

Mu Qingyan was a little tired from walking, so he found a stall on the side of the street to sit down and drink tea.

This tea stall is at the entrance of the alley, and there is Jiabuzhuang diagonally opposite. The facades of the two houses can be seen from the plaques for some years.Next to the tea stand is a grocery store, which is quite large, selling some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. There are large and small jars and jars, and the smell of soy sauce and vinegar permeates the air.This side is at the end of the street, the location is not as good as the first half, but there are not too few pedestrians.

Mu Qingyan didn't pay attention at first, but saw an old woman walking out of the cloth shop, holding a small earthen pot in her hand, and shouted at the woman in the grocery store: "Er Niang is looking after the shop today. Where's your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law went to see my uncle. The granddaughter of my uncle's family wants to talk about marriage. Please ask my mother-in-law to help me." Erniang took the small clay pot, smelled the smell, and asked with a smile: "Auntie wants to make sesame oil? Do you still want to talk to me?" Same as before, fully charged?"

"It's full. There are many people in the family, everyone has a big mouth and a big belly, and they can eat a lot. I don't know how much oil I have to eat in a day." The old woman complained.

Er Niang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of if you can eat, your family is not short of money for this sesame oil. But how is Miss Zhu'er? Before you went to Fujiang Mansion to see a doctor, the medicine prescribed by that old doctor was delicious. good?"

The old woman shook her head: "It's still the same, it hasn't improved much. I heard that there is an old doctor in Yunshan County who retired from the palace. His father wants to take Zhu'er to try it."

"Oh, sister Zhu'er is also suffering." Erniang sighed, handed her the oil jar, collected the money, and remembered something, and called the old woman to stop: "Auntie, wait. Here, here are some silver coins." Silk crisp, from my uncle’s house, white and sweet, stuffed with walnuts, take it back to sister Zhu’er Tian Tianzui’er. After two days of free time, I’ll go see her and talk to her.”

The old woman hurriedly declined: "There's no need to be so polite, save it for your kid."

"Auntie, just take it." Er Niang just put the snack bag in her hand.

The silver thread was crisp and crisp, the old lady didn't dare to push it hard, and she finally accepted her kindness.

Mu Qingyan watched the old lady enter the cloth village.

It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.This old lady is the one who met Xiaoyu at the intersection of Sancha Road in Pushui County!The cloth shop in front of me should be the den of Xiaoyu and others!From the conversation between the two just now, it is not difficult to see that these people went out on the pretext of going out to sell goods or treat Xiaoyu's illness.If Xiaoyu is a patient, not only can she avoid contact with the outside world reasonably, she can also go out with her family reasonably, and she can postpone the marriage so as not to arouse suspicion.

After all, no matter how young Xiaoyu looks, she is still a young woman. If it is not for special reasons, it is time to get married.

It can be imagined that whenever Xiaoyu wanted to go out for medical treatment, it was actually because they were looking for a good partner and going out to cheat.

Mu Qingyan didn't act immediately, but continued to walk around the street and returned to the inn as usual.That night, Jiao Li sneaked into the cloth village and confirmed that there were eight people in the cloth village, basically all of them were present.Mu Qingyan didn't arrest people himself, and he wasn't a government official, so he went directly to the Yamen to arrest him, reveal his identity, and point out where the crooks were hiding.

When the local yamen heard that so many fraud cases were involved, they paid special attention to it, and dispatched 20 people to seal the Buzhuang Wai tightly and arrest them in one fell swoop.

The two people who followed secretly were dumbfounded, they didn't expect it to be so fast at all.

Seeing Xiaoyu and others being taken away by the government, due to Du Sanye's order, he could only try to silence them.

The reason why Mu Qingyan handed over to the government to arrest him so simply and neatly was also due to weighing.Originally, the commission he received was to find someone, but now that the person was found, the commission was naturally completed, Xu Shaoyang did not say that he would hand over the person to him.Furthermore, if he asked the local government to arrest someone, it was equivalent to giving the other party a political achievement.

He didn't care about Xu Shaoyang's inside story, he just wanted to ask about Lu Yuniang.

The two sent by Mr. Du were cunning. They hired someone to deliver food to Xiaoyu in the prison, and mixed rat poison in the food.Mu Qingyan was always on guard, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyu was extremely vigilant, and would not eat anything that was sent for no reason at all.

Gao Chun stared at the man, and led the policemen to arrest the two pawns. Once the torture stick was put on, he confessed to Mr. Du.

This is instigating murder, a felony!

Other matters were investigated by the government, so Mu Qingyan entered the cell, ready to formally meet Xiaoyu.
