Nongmen Shenjue

In mid-May, Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue left Fenglin again and went to Songling Mansion.

This time they came back and stayed for half a month. If it wasn't for appeasing the family, they would have gone directly to Songling Mansion.When I left, I said hello to Chen Shiliu, and only said that I would take a tour of the mountains and rivers, and then go to Feixian Town, Wunan County.Chen Shiliu felt itchy when he heard about the case in Feixian Town, but he couldn't leave.In the past half a month, I have spent a lot of time looking for a suitable house, and finally found one. The place is good, but the house is too old and the layout is not satisfactory, so he plans to tear it down and rebuild it. There are many things in the early stage, so he wants to keep it look down.

To go to Songling Mansion, first take a boat, then take a carriage, and arrive in seven or eight days.

The purpose of coming to Songling Mansion this time is to verify Cai Junchi's real origin.

Cai Junchi's current identity is not a problem at first glance, but because of Lu Yunniang's accident, they know that Cai's mother remarried into the Cai family, so his ex-husband's surname is definitely Cai, and he cannot be of the same family as the Cai family.Cai Junchi chose to impersonate his current identity, perhaps to cover up his previous identity, or maybe he wanted to restore his real surname, and the situation of his mother's ex-husband's family is well documented, but no one mentioned her to his ex-husband's son, so naturally there are reason.

People from Wen Jixue faction focused on this aspect.

Cai's mother is from Liulin Town, Songling Prefecture. Her father is a carpenter, surnamed Liu, who has a craft. It is reasonable to live a good life, but in fact, the family is very poor.Seeking the root cause lies in the fact that there are many children.Carpenter Liu separated his family after he got married, and his wife gave birth to him for 15 years without any breaks. There were seven daughters and one son in total, and he finally gave birth to a son.Cai's mother, Xing Er, worked as a child and took care of her younger siblings. When she was 15 years old, she was married off by her family in exchange for a bride price.

Mother Cai married the Zhao family in Xiushan Village and gave birth to a son named Zhao Shucheng.

The Zhao family was an ordinary farmer, and it cost five taels of silver to marry Cai's mother, which was a very high sum at the time.It was also because of Cai's mother's good life that Zhao's father accidentally fell in love with him. Zhao's father is the youngest, and the Zhao family gritted their teeth and scraped together the money for the bride price.It was precisely because of this that Father Zhao wanted to make money and repay his kindness, so that his wife and son could live a good life, so he went to sell goods with others, but an accident happened and he disappeared.

When Zhao Shucheng was five years old, Cai's mother remarried.

At that time, the Zhao family's parents were gone, and the brothers separated. The life of the orphans and widows was hard, and there were always dubious people wandering in front of the door.In addition, Cai's mother is unwilling to endure hardships and intends to remarry, so some rumors will inevitably come out.The Zhao family simply let her remarry, and the uncle of the Zhao family raised Zhao Shucheng. Originally, the two mu of Zhao's father's land was cultivated by the uncle of the Zhao family, and he had the right to be Zhao Shucheng's ration.

I don't know how many people investigated Cai Junchi, but they never mentioned Zhao Shucheng, because Zhao Shucheng died.

Although Zhao Shucheng lost his father, his mother remarried, and he was sent to another family, he was not a coward. According to the villagers, Zhao Shucheng was gentle, shy and gentle, and he was good at reading.His temperament is convenient, but his ability to read is surprising.The Zhao family was originally a farmer, tending several acres of Susukida and relying on the sky for food. The uncle of the Zhao family can take care of his nephew's food and clothing. Could it be possible for his nephew to study?A scholar is expensive, and correspondingly, the cost of studying is also high. If a peasant household wants to provide for a scholar, the whole family has to cut down on food and clothing.Furthermore, Uncle Zhao had three sons. Even if they really asked for confession, they would still provide for their own sons, but in fact, Uncle Zhao only provided for the eldest son and nephew Zhao Shucheng.

There is no private school in the village, so we have to go to Liulin Town, and the teacher who teaches is an old boy surnamed Cai.

As I said earlier, this Old Tong Cai was childless and adopted Cai Junchi, who was of the same clan.Although Cai Junchi is one year older than Zhao Shucheng, they are classmates and have studied together in a private school for three years.

I have already learned from Lu Yuniang that "Cai Junchi" of Xian County Prince's Mansion is his elder brother, and the one who can match his identity is Cai's mother's son Zhao Shucheng who stayed at her ex-husband's house.Zhao Shucheng and "Cai Junchi" are also similar in age, and they have been classmates for three years, so they must understand that replacing Cai Junchi's identity should also be considered in this regard.

However, if "Cai Junchi"'s real name is Zhao Shucheng, there is no reason to change his name.

Wen Jixue was also very unfamiliar with the name "Zhao Shucheng".

Those who have checked the details of "Cai Junchi" must not think that "Zhao Shucheng" is anything special, and they have no suspicions. After finding out that Zhao Shucheng is dead, they let go and ignore it.According to people in Xiushan Village, Zhao Shucheng fell into the river and drowned when he was ten years old.

Mu Qingyan had doubts about this.

Of course he knew that the real Zhao Shucheng was not dead, but what happened to this death?

The original Cai Junchi lived in Liulin Town until he was 16 and went out to study.

What can be confirmed is that Cai Junchi did study in Tongshan Academy for two years, and then went out to study.

Today's "Cai Junchi" first appeared in Xianjun Wangfu, which was 20 years ago.

Then, the replacement time period is after the real Cai Junchi left the academy and before the fake Cai Junchi appeared in the capital, there was a ten-year vacancy.

This is a ten-year blank, and it is difficult to verify, so people who have checked before gave up after trying twice.

In general, there are three identities for the Cai staff of Xianjun Prince's Mansion, the earliest true identity: Zhao Shucheng, the later replaced identity: Cai Junchi, and the third is another identity used during the blank ten years.

Mu Qingyan had a hunch that finding that identity would definitely reveal the true veil of Cai's staff.

Perhaps, it will be related to the case of the Xue family.

Therefore, in order to find this answer, we can only go back to the source and unravel the truth of Zhao Shucheng's ten-year-old death.

That happened three or forty years ago, and Mu Qingyan couldn't go back, so he had to go to Xiushan Village.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be premeditated." Wen Jixue has been discussing this matter with him.

No matter what happened to Zhao Shucheng later, the ten-year-old Zhao Shucheng certainly didn't have too many palaces, and he wouldn't think of cheating death for no reason.They tend to be accidents.Mu Qingyan wanted to get to know Zhao Shucheng before he was ten years old, analyze his behavior and character, and find out whether Zhao Shucheng's private school was purely good intentions of Uncle Zhao, if not, it can be seen that Zhao Shucheng has tricks at a young age.Usually such a person is in such a situation, and the possibility of drowning is not high.The drowning of children is mostly an accident caused by playing around the water. Will Zhao Shucheng like this happen?

In particular, Zhao Shucheng was clearly alive, but he did not return to Xiushan Village.

It is not easy to change a name and start a new life, especially for a ten-year-old child, it is still dangerous to be alone.

"I think it was an accident, but this accident forced Zhao Shucheng not to return to Xiushan Village. I was just thinking, he was only ten years old at the time, so it's impossible to find a suitable replacement quickly, right? I'm worried that it won't be so easy to find his trace , after all, it’s been too long. It’s better to follow Cai Junchi’s track.”

Cai Junchi entered the academy at the age of 16 and went out to study. At first, he should have contacted with acquaintances.

The main reason is that Cai Junchi's disappearance time is closer to the present, and the possibility of finding out is greater.

Before Wen Jixue sent people to investigate, both sides went hand in hand, and there were some clues.For example, the places where Zhao Shucheng may have wandered after falling into the water, for example, the two or three places where Cai Junchi first went to study, are roughly circled, and screening is difficult.

If Wen Jixue sent out his staff and spent a lot of energy, he might find out one day, but if Mu Qingyan did it, there might be unexpected gains.Wen Jixue knows that Mu Qingyan's supernatural powers cannot be traced back because of the time gap, but Mu Qingyan not only has supernatural powers, but also has accumulated experience and experience in investigating cases for a long time, and has formed a keen intuition. Always choose the right direction somewhere.

Wen Jixue trusted him.
