There are tens of millions of south branches in the garden, and the plum fragrance is in the cold north wind of early spring, which eliminates the greasy taste, and smells a different beauty from the fragrance of flowers next to it.

"The crowd shook off the solitary beauty and occupied the small garden. Jiang Ning said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the hometown of the former generation of Lord Youcheng of the Ministry of Water, and this garden is also unique in our Long'an County." ”

Wei Sheng smiled, and his words were quite complacent: "After many years no one has cut the leaves, these plum branches are willing to draw, the original style has lost most of it, but it has not come to fruition, it is a little less ingenuity, but there is more of a different charm that is natural, the Wei family has fallen, this garden is a little more beautiful than the original plum garden, and it can be regarded as an unintentional willow." It's just that in recent years, the courtyard has been cold, and these flowers can only bloom here lonely, lonely thanks. ”

Jiang Ning walked around the garden faithfully, and soon walked out, and said with a smile: "Did that little girl come to this plum garden yesterday?"

Wei Sheng said: "I've been here." ”

"These shoes were also sent by Miss Xiaoman?"

Wei Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "There is also a thick cotton robe, and some food, as the little guy said, they were all brought by Ning Zhu to Xiaoman, do you want to take a look?"

"It's fine. Jiang Ning said with a smile.

Everyone returned the same way, the place where Wei Sheng lived was not far from the gate, look at the size and pattern, it was the place where the original gatehouse lived, the location of this place was hidden, hidden behind a flower and tree at the corner, when the garden was first built, considering the neatness and beauty of the mansion pattern, there was such a design, but it was very close to the gate.

Jiang Ning and the others all had four words in their hearts--I see.

It's no wonder that Wei Sheng could hear their doors slamming.

Although the room is small, the furnishings are numerous, and there are many things like this, and the most thing is books.

Wei Sheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "When I was young, I was greedy for fun, and I learned less than four of my father's ten stops of knowledge. Jiang Ning smiled: "As long as you have the heart, it's never too late." ”

After taking a cursory look at the clothes and food boxes sent by Xiaoman, and wandering around the house for a long time, Jiang Ning lost his interest, and instructed Han He to order someone to search the garden to see if there were any objects attached to the fatal wound on the girl Xiaoman's neck, so that Yang Qian would follow, and he himself led Han He back to his mansion.

Jiang Ning's mansion is not luxurious, but it is not a scene that ordinary people can have, there are a few houses with charcoal fire pits dug underground, as soon as it is winter, there are people who estimate the time interval of a few hours, and come to add some firewood, and the spring flowers in the house are still open at this time, and there is no meaning to sleep in the winter.

The consumption of firewood for a winter alone is not something that his poor man as a county magistrate can afford.

Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

is in line with a heart that is sympathetic to the people, Jiang Ning can't do it with a clean breeze on his sleeves.

If it weren't for the plaque signed by Jiang Ning, the magistrate of the county, hanging in the shops of that family, who would dare to come out to do business with peace of mind? Aren't you afraid that the local snakes, the Qingshui Gang and the Flying Snake Gang, will collect protection money from door to door?

He collects here, a household is only a year, are some of his brothers' fortunate expenses and wine money, if you change the group of people who eat people and do not spit out bones, they dare to collect ten taels a month, speaking of which, these hard-earned money is not his own mouth to beg, it is those merchants themselves sent to the door, you don't accept them but also a handful of snot and tears, kneeling down and crying dad and mother, please accept it.

The world is like this, Jiang Ning doesn't want to be the thorn in the head that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, there are so many cases all year round, and there are not a few coins up and down as stepping stones, and many ways are really impossible.

Han Yi didn't see it, sat down opposite Jiang Ning, took the wine pot with warm rice wine from the maid's hand, first poured a glass for Jiang Ning, and then filled it for himself, without speaking, he drank the hot wine in the cup in one go, and filled it again, only then he comfortably spit out a mouthful of turbidity, with a satisfied expression.

"It's still good for adults to stay here!" Han Yi stretched out against the back of the chair, squinted his eyes that were not very big, and smiled.

Jiang Ning said angrily: "Every time the two of us drink, as soon as I drink one glass, you will already have two cups of belly, damn it, you rub Lao Tzu's good wine, forget it, in the end, you get drunk, and Lao Tzu, who is the county commander, helps you, the head catcher, go home, what kind of system!"

Han Yi smiled, "That is, my lord, you don't have a fight, if the previous magistrates invited me back to the mansion to drink, I would have been scared so much that my soul would have gone, maybe I would find an excuse to slip away halfway, where would I dare to grab wine with you like this?"

"Come on, come on," Jiang Ning lifted the wine jug and said with a smile: "Just rush at you, a sycophant who never gets tired of listening, I have to fill it up for you." ”

Han He hugged his fists and gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Xie!"

Su Que, who was outside the door, smiled, did not go in to hinder the two men from speaking, and left quietly as if he was stepping on a cat's step.

After drinking a pot of wine, the side dishes in the kitchen were also ready, three meats, one vegetable and four plates, but no more wine was served.

Han Yi took a few bites of food, chewed it casually, and waited for Jiang Ning to speak.

The old rule is that every time two people drink, if they only serve a pot, they will definitely not be able to get drunk, which means that Jiang Ning has something to talk about here.

"What do you think Xiao Man's girl was stabbed to death by something?" Jiang Ning asked.

"The wound on the deceased's neck was a round hole, not a sword wound, not a knife wound, and if it was a needle, the wound would have been too large. Han Qian said, "Yang Qian also said just now that the wound was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and it looked like something like an awl pierced into the throat. ”

"Awl. Jiang Ning followed and said, "It's just an insignificant little girl, what did the murderer do to kill her?"

Han Hao said: "That little girl lost her innocence before she died, isn't it that someone is interested in seeing it, and he is afraid of being investigated by the government afterwards, so he doesn't stop killing him?"

Jiang Ning smiled: "Then who do you think the murderer is?"

Han Hao said: "Naturally, it is that Wei Sheng, Li Ningzhu sent his own girl to send him something, and after sending the thing, he died near Wei Mansion." After Wei Zhen died, the marriage between the two was delayed for three years, some time ago, I heard that the master of the Li family arranged for his daughter to meet the newly appointed young Zuo Cheng, it seems that the Zuo Cheng Lord still likes it very much, although there is no evidence yet, but I think that Xu is that Han Cheng can't stand this bullying, and it is unknown if he is angry with the girl Xiaoman. ”
