Nongmen Shenjue

Chapter 5 Shrinking bounties

Even though Dumb Girl is not strong, she is very strong.

The suspicion of the police officers and the persecution of Young Master Huang made him determined to leave the Huang family.Immediately, he knocked out the unsuspecting young master Huang with a knife hand, and the servant who brought him was drinking with others in the servant room, talking about the young master's good things, not knowing that the dumb girl had left.

Mute Aunt didn't go out directly, he was worried that there would be police stalking outside.

He stole a woman's clothes, made a disguise, went out from the second door, and went straight to the back door.The second gate was guarded by two women. It was still early at this time, and the women only looked at the gender of the people who entered and exited the second gate. One woman entered and exited without attracting attention.

At the back door, someone questioned me.

He suppressed his voice: "Aunt Sun wanted to eat wontons on the street corner, so she sent me to buy them."

Aunt Sun is Young Master Huang’s new concubine. She is very favored and can do anything. She wants this one today and another one tomorrow. It’s no secret that she likes street corner wontons. She often sends people to buy wontons too late. For a moment and a half, I will lose my temper.

"Go quickly, so as not to be scolded." The gatekeeper let him go.

When such a woman stepped out of the back door, she was immediately spotted by the ambushing police officers.

After Mu Qingyan came out for a day, he frequently used his abilities, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.After groping in his previous life, he had already found a countermeasure.Physical exhaustion can be relieved by absorbing the essence of life, but the soothing and repairing of spiritual power can not only rely on time, but also rely on the aura in jade.

Ordinary jade has little aura and is useless, only good jade can be effective.

Since ancient times, jade has been a precious thing. He didn't plan to earn money to buy jade, because he didn't plan to return to his old business.

In this life, he intends to let himself live a little more leisurely.

"Second brother, someone has come out!" Mu Lin straightened up excitedly.

"Second brother of the Mu family?" He Chuan and the others all looked at him.

"Follow him from afar." Even though Mu Qingyan knew that this person was a flower picker, he couldn't point it out.

The "grandmother" walked a little faster, arrived at the wonton stall on the corner of the street, stopped for a while, carefully looked around, and then suddenly walked into an alley.

One of the arresters followed. This person was thin and small, but his movements were nimble, his steps were extremely light, and he was very good at stalking and stalking.

Mu Qingyan and the other officers were slightly behind, fearing that there would be a lot of noise and the person would be shocked.

"Mother-in-law" walked around in all the alleys until the policemen's patience was worn out, when he suddenly turned over and entered a family's yard.It was clearly dressed as an old woman, and she jumped over the wall with neat movements. The scene looked a bit funny.

"What a neat skill!" He Chuan exclaimed.

"This person is definitely not a woman!"

Mu Lin frowned, looked back and forth through the alley, and wondered: "This place is Zaohua Alley, this is the one where the accident happened before, right?"

He Chuan also reacted: "This guy is really cunning, if we hadn't followed him, who would have guessed that he was hiding here!"

"Late will change, arrest people." Mu Qingyan urged.

"We have too few people, so we need to find a few more people." Mu Lin and He Chuan didn't dare to be careless, and decided to be more cautious.

No one thought that there would be progress tonight, so there were only six or seven people in total.Before, I always thought that the flower picker was good at martial arts, although I didn't think that the one who was following now was the flower picker himself, but the movement of climbing the wall just now was too neat, and I was afraid that few people would not be able to catch him.

A quarter of an hour later, He Chuan ran back out of breath, bringing another six or seven people with him.

These ten or so arresters, all with knives, surrounded the yard tightly.

With an order, he cut the lock on the door and rushed in.

Two policemen carried lanterns and illuminated the yard.

Mu Qingyan didn't go in, and even got affected, Mu Lin asked him to stay outside the alley.

Originally, he could monitor everything in the courtyard by using his ability, but he was already feeling very tired at this time, and the arresters were well manned, so it was unlikely that there would be any accidents, so he didn't go to see it.His ability to go back in time is like a monitoring instrument, but monitoring requires electricity, and his ability requires mental power, so it is impossible to do whatever he wants.

The action of the detectives went smoothly.

When they rushed in, the flower picker found that they were exposed, and immediately wanted to escape.However, the road was tightly blocked, even though he had some skills, he couldn't stop so many arresters with knives, and was finally captured after being wounded.

Mu Qingyan reminded earlier that even if someone is caught, they should keep their mouths shut as soon as possible. After all, they are from the Huang family. If they say something, the Huang family's face will not look good, and they will not get well.The policemen were not stupid, so they paid special attention to this point, not only blocked the person's mouth, but also tied his hands and feet tightly.

"Second brother, I caught it! You will never guess that he is a man! I think this guy is probably a flower picker! How cunning, he actually disguised himself as a woman!" Mu Lin chattered excitedly, and the other police officers also it's the same.

When other residents in the alley heard the movement, they all lay down at the door and looked around. Seeing that the police were arresting people, they opened the door to inquire.

He Chuan was very thoughtful, and took the lead in raising his voice: "This person is sneaky, and he was hiding in the empty house of the Li family earlier. He is probably a flower picker. We will take him back to the Yamen, and ask the county magistrate to interrogate him."

"The Flower Picker?!"

The people were surprised and delighted.

The county magistrate Zhou Hong got the news and went to the hall overnight to ask the case.

At first, the flower picker kept his mouth shut, but under the torture, he couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.Not to mention anything else, he just sneaked into Huang's house disguised as a woman and hid in Zaohua Lane, so he couldn't get rid of the inside story.What's more, he found two women's bellybands in the baggage wrapped around his body, one of which was exquisitely embroidered, and it was not affordable for ordinary people.

"Bold madman!" The county magistrate was furious.

What else do you not understand?

The flower picker not only committed crimes rampantly, but also took away the victim's personal belongings.

Magistrate Zhou thought carefully, and felt that this person was skilled and experienced. He was not a first-time offender, but he was interrogated and questioned, and many old cases were revealed.This is actually a flower picker who commits crimes on the go, and there are fifteen cases of them being asked, and most of the victims are the daughters of country gentry and rich merchants, and there is even a daughter of a seventh-rank official family.

County magistrate Zhou couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he thought of the two beautiful daughters in his backyard.

so close!

At the same time more furious!

Mu Qingyan didn't go to the Yamen with him, and stayed at Zhao Shan's house at night.

At dawn, he got up.

Life in ancient times was inconvenient, and it was even more so when you temporarily borrowed from someone else's house.Mu Qingyan is very unaccustomed to using other people's pillows and quilts, and I don't know who has used them before. It smells strange, and he tossed and turned uncomfortable all night, almost without sleep.

Early in the morning, the business of the noodle stall was very good, and both Zhao Shan and his wife were busy.

Mu Qingyan planned to go out of the city to go home, but Zhao Shan stopped him and told him to eat before leaving.

Strong hand-rolled noodles. The noodles are finger-wide and slightly yellow. Take the boiling white bone broth boiled in a big pot, put two hot green vegetables, and sprinkle some crispy peanuts. Add two drops of sesame oil, the taste is especially good.The noodle shop also provides its own pickled hot and sour shredded radish for free, which is very tasty.

This is plain noodles, a bowl of Sanwen money, the portion is quite large, very affordable.

When Mu Qingyan came over last night, he brought a pack of mung bean cakes, which were ordinary and cost eighteen Wen.Mu Wan gave him a total of [-] Wen, and it would not be good to go to the city without bringing something for the younger siblings, but the little money in his hand was really useless, so he bought two silk flowers, and Mu Wan embroidered one. one.Silk flowers are made of leftover materials, so the price is relatively cheap. One flower costs two coins, but the color is better than it is.

"Qingyan, take this to my parents." Zhao Shan went to cut a catty of meat.

As a parent, I was reluctant to eat and drink, and only worried about my children and grandchildren. Zhao Shan was filial, and would cut the meat and send it back every now and then.According to what he said, the family is better off now, not worse than that, and the parents eat better, it means their son has done his filial piety.

Carrying the pork on a straw rope, Mu Qingyan walked back to the village slowly.

On the way, I also met a few people from the same village, who nodded their heads as a greeting.

Before reaching the village, he caught up with a person: "Second Brother! Second Brother, wait!"

It was Mullin who caught up.

"Big brother?"

"You kid, why are you running out of the city so fast and making me chase you all the way." Mu Lin smiled all over his face, even though he was complaining, he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

Mu Qingyan smiled and said, "Brother is so happy, did you get the reward?"

Mu Lin laughed loudly. Seeing that there was no one in front or behind, he touched his bosom, grabbed three silver ingots, and poured out a few broken pieces of silver from his purse: "Second brother, look, the total is 34 taels of silver. This is the first time I have seen so much silver!"

"Ten taels?"

"Yes, 22 taels of this is yours." Mu Lin stuffed two big ingots to him, and picked up two small pieces of silver.He said in his mouth: "Last night we went to a total of 200 people. The reward was 12 taels, and each of us divided 22 taels. I said earlier that it is the second brother who is able to catch people this time. Twelve taels more for the first portion, a total of [-] taels. For the remaining ten taels, according to the usual practice, we will invite Mr. Cai and Mr. Li and other arresters to have a drink."

In Mu Lin's view, this time he has made a fortune, and his hands are shaking while holding the money.

In Mu Qingyan's view, 200 taels of silver became 22 taels, which was very helpless.

He always felt that it was not worthwhile to work hard to get this little money, so he didn't want to go back to his old business.If it was like in the previous life, with cases entangled and traveling all over the country, rest would be an extravagant hope.In the previous life, the transportation was well developed, how about now?The best way to travel is a carriage. Thinking about the bumps, it is daunting.

Mu Lin let out a long breath and said, "With the money, you can pay off the debt first."

The foreign debt of 20 taels of silver has been weighing on the hearts of the Mu brothers and sisters, and they finally have money, and they feel very comfortable.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan took out ten taels of silver and gave him: "Pay it off at once."

"This..." Mu Lin was about to refuse. He didn't intend to use Mu Qingyan's money from the beginning, but when he saw Mu Qingyan's clear eyes, the words stuck in his mouth.Scratching his head, he took it over: "Then, I'll accept it. Second brother, if you don't have enough money, just tell me, I'll always find a solution in the city."

Mu Qingyan nodded, and reminded him after thinking: "Being a fast catcher can make a lot of money, but this kind of thing attracts hatred, and the elder brother must have a plan in his heart."

Mu Lin said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, I will follow them to collect some ordinary money, and I don't want any more money."

Mu Lin's nature is not the kind of person who bullies others, even if he loves money, he can't do things like intimidation.

"Brother, is this a leave?" Mu Qingyan looked at the 12 taels of silver in his hand, thinking about what to do for a living, he couldn't just eat and do nothing at home.With his body, he couldn't do the work in the field.

"I'm not happy when I get the money, I take it home and give it to Xiaowan, so that she can be happy too." When Mu Lin mentioned this, he laughed again.When he saw the pork in Mu Qingyan's hand, he slapped his forehead: "Oh, tell me, I should buy a catty of meat. If you are in a panic, forget about it."

"There is still half a catty of meat at home. If you really buy meat and go home, the second sister will definitely scold you." Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Mu Wan swearing.

"That's right, your second sister's temper..." Mu Lin smacked his lips, shook his head, and muttered, "It's time to find her a husband."

Mu Qingyan felt that Mu Wan was worried about marrying Mu Lin a wife.
