Nongmen Shenjue

In view of the characteristics of Mu Qingyan's ability, the forest is his home field.

To prevent things from changing later, Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue rushed to the forest outside the town after a brief lunch at the restaurant.Mu Qingyan's ability can track Wu Da, but Wu Day has martial arts skills, so he has to rely on Wen Jixue to catch him.

Wu Da was very familiar with this forest, and hid very deeply in order to avoid being hunted down.

Under Mu Qingyan's guidance, he caught Wu Da who was nestling in the cave and eating cold food.Wen Jixue appeared quietly, and when he was caught, Wu Dacai was shocked to find someone approaching.

Mu Qingyan inspected Wu Da's luggage, it seemed that there were a lot of things in it, but it didn't seem like "absconding with money".There is no money in the baggage, only a set of clothes for a change of clothes, the rest is cold beef, cold steamed buns, and seasoning and salt in a small bamboo tube. It can be seen that Wu Da planned to escape to the mountains and forests for a long time from the very beginning.

Bringing Wu Da back to the town, Jiang Butou was overjoyed.

Wu Da's mouth is not difficult to pry, Jiang Butou has rich experience, he can use both soft and hard tactics, and soon Wu Da spits out.

"Master asked me to arouse the suspicion of the policemen, and then hid in the mountains for a period of time. He promised to give me 100 taels of silver when the policemen retreated. I am old, and my wife and children have to support me. People. If you have money, you can buy a few acres of land yourself, or do a small business." To put it bluntly, Wu Da was motivated by money.

Why did Zeng He ask him to distract the attention of the police? Wu Da guessed that it was related to the three bones found in the old house.But 100 taels of silver is not a small amount, it was just hiding in the mountains for a few days, after all it was not his fault.With such self-persuasion, greed prevailed, so he followed Zeng He's words.

Boss Jiang Bu'er sneered: "You are so bold, what if Zeng He kills you and puts all the blame on you?"

Wu Da laughed: "No one in the Zeng family is my opponent."

Besides, seeing how generous Zeng He gave money, Wu Da might as well let it go?That is, he prepared all the food and food by himself, just because he was afraid of Zeng He's tricks.Furthermore, he took the silver first, and arranged for his wife and children to go away. Just in case, the family still had 100 taels of silver to use.

This is a typical example of "people die for money and birds die for food".

"How much do you know about what happened ten years ago?" Mu Qingyan asked.

Because they were captured by Mu Qingyan, Boss Jiang let them participate in the interrogation.

One person counts short, two counts long.Boss Jiang had contacted him personally, and felt that Mu Qingyan was not in vain. If he could cooperate, the case would definitely be investigated faster.The other party is not a member of the public family, and the credit cannot be taken away after the case is settled, so it is better to make friends.

Wu Da responded silently to this question.

Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "You participated?"

"No!" Wu Da immediately retorted, with a tangled look on his face: "Let me tell you, at the beginning of spring nine years ago, around the beginning of March, the housekeeper found me and said that the three masters and servants of the Mo family were leaving and asked me to escort them for a ride. I didn't think it was wrong at first, it's just... We all call her Aunt Mo in private, and I heard from the kitchen staff that she seems to be pregnant and eats better than his wife every day, so why is she leaving all of a sudden? But, master As servants, I can't tell you about the affairs of the wives. We will do what the higher-ups tell us.

When the Mo family came, they had a carriage and a coachman, but the housekeeper said that the coachman was sick and asked me to drive the carriage.On the day of departure, the carriage stopped at the gate, and the housekeeper and Uncle Miao were waiting there. Seeing me coming, the housekeeper left.Uncle Miao told me that there is no need to rush people to Hede, safety is the most important thing, and then he handed me 20 taels of silver, which was a hard work all the way.

This is a big deal. It is rare to pay 20 taels for a trip.I thought it was because the master valued the woman surnamed Mo very much, otherwise he would not have let me drive to see her off. I was originally a nursing home, not a driver.However, as soon as I drove the car, I immediately realized that something was wrong. The car was too light, like an empty car, and it didn't look like it was full of people.And it was so close, there was no sound at all in the car, which is not normal.

I stopped the car, and when I turned around, Uncle Miao was looking at me.He asked me: Can I send it?If not, replace it.The meaning is very clear. I don't know the twists and turns. I even wondered if the existence of Aunt Mo made my wife unhappy. The master made this for his wife and only hid Aunt Mo in another place. up. 20 taels of silver, don't take it for nothing.As I was told, I went to Hod with an empty car. "

Wu Da argued: "I was just following orders. I don't know what Master Zeng did. Uncle Miao is his confidant. If something really happened, Uncle Miao must know!"

"Uncle Miao? How old is he?" Mu Qingyan thought of that mysterious man.

"In his early thirties, 32, three. Although he doesn't care about things in the Zeng family, everyone knows that he has an unusual relationship with Master Zeng. He seems to be the second master of the Zeng family. Mrs. Zeng also calls him 'Brother Miao'."

Seeing that Mu Qingyan seemed to be interested in this person, Jiang Bubo also said a few words: "I also know this Uncle Miao, his name is Miao Ke. But I seldom see him, and it is said that he has been helping Master Zeng with his business outside Some people say that Miao Ke is a distant relative of Zeng He, and after Miao Ke got married, he still lived in Zeng's house."

"Is Boss Jiang going directly to Zeng's house to arrest and interrogate?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"What advice does Mr. Mu have?"

"The Zeng family doesn't know that Wu Da was arrested, why not wait for a while. Maybe there will be unexpected results." Mu Qingyan is very clear that the truth of everything has basically been deduced, and what is lacking is evidence.

It was originally planned for Gao Tian to visit Zeng's house tonight, maybe he should also go there and see Mrs. Zeng with his own eyes.

"...Okay. However, if there is any news, I hope Mr. Mu will let you know." Boss Jiang caught the balance and found it acceptable. Furthermore, he also expected the other party to find all the more important evidence.

Wu Da's testimony can indeed prove that Zeng He lied, but it cannot prove that Zeng He was the victim.

Following Zeng He's actions, he made some excuses again, Boss Jiang really didn't want to listen, he just wanted to find the evidence and arrest him back to the county government, then he wouldn't worry about not recruiting him.

In the quiet night, a few shadowy soldiers sneaked into Zeng's house in two ways.

Gao Tian was visiting Zeng He's side, and Mu Qingyan was led by Wen Jixue to Mrs. Zeng's residence.

As Li Yueer said, Mrs. Zeng's residence is on the other side of the garden, as if separated from Zeng's house, it is very quiet and cold.The fires of several lanterns were on, and there was no sound in the courtyard. The two of them hid in the shadow of the trees, just in time to see Miss Zeng's family come out of the room holding the younger brother's hand.

"Hold up the lantern so that the road is brighter, and don't let the young lady trip over." A dignified maid asked.

The maid waited until the group had gone far away before returning to the house.

Mrs. Zeng did not live with her children, the three of them had dinner together, and the children went back to their residence.The maids were clearing away the cups, plates and chopsticks, while Mrs. Zeng was sitting by the window with a lonely face.As Li Yueer described, Mrs. Zeng was very thin and had a sickly complexion. Although there were signs of age on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, she could vaguely see her youthful appearance.She is not a beauty, she probably has a calm temperament.

I also heard earlier that Zeng He married Xiaojia Biyu, the daughter of a wealthy family.

"Eight years old, he is already eight years old." Mrs. Zeng murmured to herself, and asked the maid next to her, "Another arrest came today? Why? Or, that matter?"

The maid hesitated to speak, but her expression said it all.

Mrs. Zeng showed pain on her face: "It's all his fault, pity my daughter..."

A little maid came over and brought a glass of clear water, and black pills in a white porcelain dish: "Ma'am, it's time to take your medicine."

Mrs. Zeng let out a sigh of relief, showing some resistance on her face, but she still took the medicine.

Mrs. Zeng had nothing to do, so she took a walk in the courtyard, washed up and rested.

"Do you think she's sick?" Just looking at it with her eyes, apart from her sick face, Mrs. Zeng was very clear-headed, she was by no means a lunatic.However, there are all kinds of mental illnesses, and there are also intermittent ones that only attack when they are stimulated by a specific stimulus.

"Look at the medicine she's taking." Wen Jixue patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to hide and not move, and then sneaked into the room.When he came back after a while, he held a black pill in his hand, which was exactly the medicine Mrs. Zeng had taken.

Mu Qingyan could only smell the medicine, but he couldn't distinguish it.

Wen Jixue sniffed, frowned and said, "Some are like medicines for calming the mind, and there are also tonics such as ginseng and cinnamon."

"What will happen if you eat it?"

"The main thing is to keep fit, not only physically, but also mentally. After taking it, keep your mind calm, avoid agitation, gradually become sleepy, and ensure enough sleep and rest." Wen Jixue guessed based on the ingredients in the pill, There are many pills with similar effects, and the formulas are similar.Usually those who take this kind of pills are elderly people, or the wives and wives of big families who preside over Zhongfu, to adjust their body and nourish their nature.

Mrs. Zeng took this medicine and it was also suitable for her symptoms, but it also showed that her illness was not on the body surface, it was probably a heart disease.

"Do you think she will be the breakthrough point?" Mu Qingyan asked suddenly.

"It's up to you."

"Then let's put on a play." When Wen Jixue first proposed, the reason why Mu Qingyan hesitated was because he was worried that Mrs. Zeng was really crazy and would collapse when stimulated.It seems that the situation is better than expected, and the plan can be tried.

Mu Qingyan returned to the inn and began to arrange.

He didn't intend to wait for another night, it wasn't too late now, as long as the arrangements were in place, it could be done immediately.

After half an hour, Gao Tian came back, and he also brought good news.

"Very well, let's listen to the play first. Once the play is over, everything should come to an end."
