150 Cross-examination

"What's wrong?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"This canal is so good that it should lead to other villages, but it has been cut off and a large part of the world has been abandoned. ”

"And then? What are you trying to express? Shi Yuechan didn't know how to farm, so she asked.

Du Juan grew up in the folk since he was a child, and he understands all trivial things, "If you cut off the canals in heaven and earth, you will cut off the food and wealth of other families, which is equivalent to asking for other people's lives, which is a big enemy." ”

"So you want to say that this kind of thing also has something to do with the poisoning in the village?" Shi Yuechan understood what she meant.

"Yes, the slave thinks so." Cuckoo said.

It's not that it's completely unconnected, it's just that such a grudge can hurt the lives of so many people in the village, and it seems a little unreasonable.

Shi Yuechan groaned, "Keep checking and see what else you find." ”

Shi Yuechan only felt that at this moment, she was like looking at flowers in the fog, and she couldn't see through it at all, how could an ordinary small village provoke such a deep hatred and let people harm their lives and the lives of their fellow villagers like this.

Does the matter of the water canal break really have anything to do with it?

She felt like several threads were tangled in her head, leaving her unable to find the source of the clue.

"Drain, poison." Shi Yuechan felt that these two things were still a little incompatible, and it seemed that she could only wait for Magu and Huazhi to come back and ask about the situation before making a conclusion.

Shi Yuechan took a careful turn around the village, and when she returned to the same place. Huazhi and Magu haven't come back yet.

"Let's go out for dinner first." Shi Yuechan said.

"Let the slave make it for you, you should have everything you want to eat here." Pothos said, this is the village, there is planting land everywhere, what materials do you want? And it's all fresh ingredients that have just come out, and it's definitely better than the ones you bought outside.

"It's fine." Shi Yuechan said, but when it comes to cooking, she still likes to eat what Lord Huaiyuan cooks, but unfortunately she can't take the initiative to ask Lord Huaiyuan to cook for her, she realizes that she actually wants to eat the food cooked by Lord Huaiyuan. His face was a little red. How could she have such an idea? Lord Huaiyuan is not a husband, why should he cook for her?

"Forget it, let's go out to eat." Shi Yuechan said.

The pothos was stunned for a moment, and Shi Yuechan added. "Maybe. The material here is also poisoned. When the time comes, don't eat people's lives. ”

Luthos's face turned pale when he heard this, not to mention that there was really such a possibility, so many people in this village were poisoned. Who knows if there is poison in what they eat," the eldest lady said, let's go out to eat. ”

Shi Yuechan took a few maids out to eat, and asked the officers and soldiers left behind to let Magu and Huazhi come back and eat outside, and also told them not to eat things in the village.

Shi Yuechan got into the carriage and went to a place not far from the village, bought food and went back to the village, she didn't eat on the road, she was afraid that she would come back as soon as she left the flower branches, she wanted to know the results of their investigation as soon as possible.

However, when Shi Yuechan returned to the village, the two maids had not returned, so she left their meals.

Shi Yuechan ate a few mouthfuls and found that she was not too hungry, so she put down the chopsticks, and the pothos took water to rinse her mouth and clean her hands.

Shi Yuechan said, "Tomorrow, bring Chunsheng and the third aunt of the goddess over to me one by one...... I want to interrogate them individually. ”

"Yes." Cuckoo said.

At this time, Huazhi returned, "The slave is back." ”

"Did you inquire about anything over there?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"The slave maid inquired about the people in the village." Hua Zhi said, "Most of the people in the village are ordinary people, Chunsheng's personality is also very honest, everyone has a high opinion of him, and the third aunt he said is also very prestigious, and the third aunt's family is indeed fortune-telling for a living, it is said that her family has been engaged in feng shui for generations to exorcise evil spirits." ”

Shi Yuechan frowned when she heard this, "Really?" ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly, and there are conflicts between the village and the village next door, and the villagers in the village have also had a lot of fights with the villagers in the other village, and Chunsheng and his party even fought with that village and made trouble in the yamen, but it is ......said that the grievances are deep."

Hua Zhi talked about all kinds of contradictions and trivial matters in the village, the most serious contradiction was because of the contradictions provoked by the people in the other village, which became more and more fragmented, and the people in the two villages made trouble, and as a result, an old man in the family died violently, so the grievances between the two villages could not be untied as if they were tied in a dead knot.

"In that case, the matter of the aqueduct breaking is really true." Shi Yuechan said.

"The canal is out of flow?" Hanade asked rhetorically.

Shi Yuechan recounted their discoveries in the afternoon.

Huazhi said, "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid didn't hear them when they inquired. ”

Shi Yuechan responded, "Okay...... Hurry up and eat, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

As soon as the words fell, Huazhi went to eat.

In the evening, Magu didn't come back, for fear that something difficult or something unexpected happened.

However, Shi Yuechan is not worried about Magu, according to Du Juan, Magu's martial arts are even better than hers, she doesn't know how good it is, but at least the idle people are not her opponents.

Early the next morning, when Shi Yuechan got up.

The pothos said, "Miss Magu came back last night. ”

"Let her in." Shi Yuechan commanded.

The pothos went out and called Magu in.

Magu waited for the news, so she didn't sleep all night, but the people who practiced martial arts didn't sleep much, and they were physically strong and there was nothing serious.

Magu entered the house and saluted Shi Yuechan, "Miss." ”

"Hurry up...... Tell me about your investigation yesterday. Shi Yuechan said.

"The situation of the slave and maid investigation is ......" Magu said the situation of the investigation, which is exactly the same as what Huazhi investigated yesterday, but it is a situation that is reflected from another village, although the positions of the two sides are different from different angles, but the long-standing grievances are true.

“…… So the surrounding villages are nothing special. The relationship between that village and this village is very stiff. Magu said, "But the slave maid has discovered something interesting. ”

"What's the matter?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"It is said that Chunsheng also had the sons of several families, that is, several of the people who were with Chunsheng, who are said to have left the village at an early age, and only returned after they had grown up outside and made a fortune." Magu said.

"When did they leave the village?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"The people in the village over there said that it was just when I was a few years old and went out with the adults to go out for a while, and it was amazing to have more than ten acres of land, and it was not the broom star of the father and mother...... That's what the people over there said. Magu said.

That means that Chunsheng and a few people in the village went out at a very young age and only came back later. And after coming back, he bought more than ten acres of land. Shi Yuechan repeated the main point.

"Not bad. Chunsheng is the biggest landlord in this village. Magu said.

I can't see that Chunsheng is actually a landlord.

"It seems that people really can't be seen." Shi Yuechan is not unseen of Chunsheng's face, honest and honest, without the appearance of being rich and noble, and there is no mole under her chin that represents the field, she actually has so many acres of land. It's incredible.

"That's what the eldest lady said." Magu agreed. People really can't be disfigured.

Shi Yuechan's current understanding of physiognomy in the number of techniques is. Natural appearance will certainly affect people, and acquired inner will also affect people's appearance, so it is necessary to look not only at people's appearance but also on personality and attention to detail. It's the details that reveal the nature of people the most.

"Alright...... I know. Shi Yuechan already had an idea, "In the past few days, you send someone to keep an eye on Chunsheng carefully, just change the guards guarding them at his door to be smart, and report every detail to me." ”

"Yes." Magu said.

Shi Yuechan asked Magu to step aside and found an empty courtyard, and there was no screen here, so she could only draw a curtain at the door of the hall.

Shi Yuechan sat inside, and the three maids waited.

Only one Magu was watching people outside, and the villagers were led over one by one by the officers and soldiers.

What Shi Yuechan wants to see most at this time is not Chunsheng, because if Chunsheng is really honest, then what he says is true, and if he is falsely honest, then everything he says is not credible.

What Shi Yuechan wants to see most at this time is the legendary goddess and third aunt.

Translucent yarn, through which you can vaguely see everything outside.

However, when I saw it outside, it was gray inside, and I could only see a few figures sitting not far from the door, and I couldn't see it more clearly.

The third aunt of the goddess is much better looking than Shi Yuechan imagined, she looks no more than forty-one or twelve years old, but according to the news from Huazhi, she is forty-nine years old this year, and she seems to be very well maintained. Her body is not like an ordinary woman, she will be bloated and fat at this age, her figure is very slim, her hair is coiled into a hair bag on her head, a body of cloth, her skin is better than that of an ordinary peasant woman, and at this age she is still very fair and tender.

"Are you the third aunt?" Shi Yuechan spoke, and felt a little low when she heard her voice.

"Yes." The third aunt said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Shi Yuechan 'huh', didn't Chunsheng say that the third aunt was a scoundrel aunt? Why doesn't it look like it? Or is Chunsheng lying? Or is the third aunt pretending to be like this?

"Do you make a living by divination and prediction of good fortune and evil?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"Yes, but there are many rules for divination." The third aunt said, "The rules are not set by me, there are many words and many hexagrams that I can't count, and others think I'm bluffing." ”

"What are you talking to me about?" Shi Yuechan wondered, she didn't even ask the third aunt to say so much to herself.

"Because I think you know the ins and outs." Sangu said.

"Why?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"I didn't tell my own hexagrams, and I can't count my own hexagrams, but when I saw the sun rising in the east today, it fell in the east of the house, and the magpies were also very cheerful, and when I washed my face, I saw that there was joy on my face, and I was locked up, and I had such a thing, what other happy event could there be? If you want to come, I'm afraid that there are nobles coming! The third aunt smiled, "At this moment, it seems that my noble person is you, before Chunsheng left the village, he said that he wanted to find the master bookkeeper, and the master bookkeeper is a woman, this is something that many people know, I think the master is you, right?" If you are the master of the book, you must know how to do so, and many people know what you are doing at the Star Fighting Meeting. ”

This third aunt has two brushes.

Shi Yuechan frowned when she heard this, "From what you said, can I infer that you fooled others before?" ”

"Fooling is necessary, otherwise where will the silver come from?" The third aunt asked rhetorically.

"You're being sincere." Shi Yuechan said lightly, she doesn't reject or hate such people, because she doesn't have to think too hard.

"In front of Lord Bookkeeper, I don't dare to get an axe." The third aunt said, "Don't dare to tell lies, you are an expert in this industry, even if I tell lies, you can see it." ”

Shi Yuechan didn't know whether to say that the third aunt was smart, or whether to say that she knew current affairs, she pondered for a moment and said, "It's not an expert, there are people outside the world." ”

"What you're taught." Sangu said.

"Since you admit that you fooled Chunsheng and them before, then why do you have to play tricks later?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"I didn't cheat, I was really sick and got better, and after they threatened me, I stayed at their house for fear that they would retaliate, and let them give me an explanation, I didn't really want them to give me an explanation, I just wanted something to talk about, and they wouldn't trouble me." Sangu said.

The third aunt seems to be telling the truth, because she didn't lie before, but it doesn't necessarily mean that she won't lie later.

Even if Chunsheng lied, it doesn't mean that what he said is not true, at least although the process of the incident is exaggerated and false, it is a true fact.

If it was before, Shi Yuechan could have the answer just by looking at her appearance, but now she can't pay attention to it, she seems to have been reborn for a lifetime, her ear power has improved, and she has become much more proficient in mathematics, but she has also regressed to a certain extent, because people's hearts are too difficult to understand, and it can be said that she has never had enough level, otherwise she would not have gotten to such a tragic situation in her previous life.

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?" Shi Yuechan asked.

"I just want to say that I really have nothing to do with the dead people in the village, as long as you can return my innocence, I am willing to be a cow and a horse." Sangu said.

"Put her back in lock." Shi Yuechan commanded.

The guards took the third aunt out and locked her up again, and a villager came in.

This villager has a good relationship with the Chunsheng family and knows the affairs of the Chunsheng family very well.

Shi Yuechan asked the village first, and then asked Chunsheng's head, because she was afraid that the direct question would be too obvious, and people wouldn't tell her anything.

Everything that this villager explained was similar to the result of Huazhi's question.

Shi Yuechan called Chunsheng again, although she already knew what he would say, she still asked again with trepidation. (To be continued......)
