(PS: Water Red Acceptance Good Building YƬ Oh!) I like to be encouraged and praised the most, haha. (*^__^*), continue to ask for a monthly pass! Recommended Ticket! Collection! (*^__^*) bow and beg to subscribe! ļ¼
Deputy Yang ordered the officials to hold twelve avatars.
I saw one of the shrewd mothers-in-law and said, "Who is that person?" We haven't seen it. ā
She was pointing to a man with a monkey face.
The person who was questioned was the second housekeeper of the Ding family, Liu Ding took his entourage back to his parents' house, in addition to the personal service, the other ones were settled by the second housekeeper for food and lodging, so he was the Ding family who had the most contact with the other entourage.
At this moment, he pointed out the two guards sent by the Ding family, and said: "That monkey-faced man, he really didn't appear in our Ding family...... The second housekeeper's face sank, "No, there is one person missing here, I remember...... I remember that it was a man with a melon seed face, thin lips, and peach blossom eyes. ā
Jiang Ruoning clenched his fists, "Two adults, I have something to say." ā
"Jiang Yu, excuse me."
"The second steward said, you remember that there is one person missing, and this monkey-faced man is not among them, do you still remember the detailed appearance of the missing person."
"Remember! This person doesn't talk much, his eyes are very sharp when he looks at people, I am scared when I see him, he is different from other nursing homes, he always sits alone in the room eating tea and drinking, others will also gamble, guess boxing, but he is alone, I heard others call him 'Liu Xi', so I am most impressed by this person. ā
"After the lobby is finished, you follow me to the back hall, I will personally draw a portrait of this person, if anyone remembers his appearance, they can also come and identify one or two."
After Jiang Ruoning finished speaking, he clenched his fists and retreated to the back hall.
After the second housekeeper finished answering, Ah Huan led him to the back hall.
Jiang Ruoning held the pen in his hand and drew in his description, over and over again, and finally, the second butler nodded. "Yes, that's what it looks like."
Another woman came in, pointed to her eyebrows and said, "Be a little lighter, your eyes are very cold." Like a sword. ā
And in the front hall, some people recognized the monkey-faced man.
"This is the iron monkey of Guanyin Town, who disappeared in Layue last year, he was a merchant and was alert. The mouth is sweet, and he carries the goods to the countryside every day, and someone once said that he was recruited as a son-in-law, but he didn't think he was killed. ā
"Poor thing, he was an orphan, and he had no relatives, so this dead iron family will be extinct."
It was also passed on to someone who was familiar with the iron monkey in Guanyin Town to identify it, and finally confirmed the identity of the iron monkey again.
As a result, all the dead have been identified.
After the county orders of Sanying County and Qingxi County were discussed. Jointly handed over a document to Fengtianfu, requesting the imperial court to issue a sea fishing document to arrest the cold-faced man, and this person was very likely to be the murderer of the fourteen lives.
Fourteen lives have been a major case in Fengtianfu for more than ten years.
Fengtianfu did not dare to be slow, and presented to Dali Temple at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

Jiang Ruoning, who was idle, was sitting in the courtyard of the Jiang house kneading the little man with the adjusted dough.
Although more than ten days have passed, Po is still clamoring to play ball.
Ah Huan brought one back every day, and Ah Bao saw that it was not the kind that Jiang Ruoning played, "Ah Huan." Not this one. ā
"Miss Bao, this is what Senior Sister is playing, are you wrong?"
"It's not!" Po yelled, "It's the kind of ball that is white." There are holes in it. ā
It wasn't a ball, it was a dead man's skull.
Xiaocao shuddered at the thought of this.
She doesn't want to be a girl anymore, but she can help here, and she can receive 600 copper coins a month, which is not a small amount, and she can buy a lot of food. She also wants to learn from the second girl, and earns money to help her brother marry a daughter-in-law and let the family live in a new house. Moreover, Jiang Ruoning treats people well, and he doesn't have much work every day, mainly to watch Miss Bao, add clothes to her when she is cold, and feed her when she is hungry, and although Miss Bao is a child of three or four years old, it is the time to be lively and cute. For Xiaocao, she has also done this at home to take care of children and coax children, and she earns money as if she was playing.
Jiang Ruoning kneaded Ah Bao with dough, took the paint and applied it lightly, and after a while, a Ah Bao wearing a pink skirt appeared in everyone's sight.
Xiaocao was surprised: "Madame really looks like it, exactly like Miss Bao." ā
Jiang Ruoning smiled: "Bao, can I pinch another one of your fathers?" ā
"I still have to pinch my mother."
However, Jiang Ruoning can pinch others, but when it comes to her, she can't pinch it well.
Xiaocao simply hugged the mirror and came out: "Madam, you look at the mirror and pinch it." ā
"It is difficult for the doctor to heal himself, and the painter does not paint himself, Xu is the same, I can't pinch myself."
Ah Huan said: "Senior sister, if you pinch your body, I'll pinch your face." Ah Huan was eager to try, Jiang Ruoning asked her to learn the skill of touching bones and shaping people, Ah Huan thought about dealing with dead people in Zhenri, and shook her head again and again, but she learned the ability to look at clay figures and paint portraits, although it is still not as good as Jiang Ruoning's painting, but it can be regarded as a small achievement.
Ah Bao saw that her mother was pinching the dough, and Ah Huan was also pinching, and she also took a ball of noodles and followed it.
Only the second girl sat in the courtyard with a worried face, with a basket in front of her, holding a square handkerchief in her hand, and she didn't see a stitch embroidered for a long time.
At the end of April, there are still a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Miss said that this year's Dragon Boat Festival must be redeemed by her to go home to marry, but she asked someone to bring three letters to the family, and she did not see her mother come to the county seat.
Although Ah Huan is free, she has no home, so she can only continue to follow Miss, and now she calls Miss "Senior Sister", while Xiaocao calls her "Miss Huan", and the people in the county government call her "Huan Catch".
Ah Huan said in a low voice: "Senior sister, Sister Erniu has become less and less talkative these days. ā
"Do you know why?"
Xiaocao said in a low voice: "When Madam and Miss Huan are away, she always sighs. But this morning, when I went out with her, she went to a fellow village to inquire about the situation, as if to ask her when her mother would come to redeem her, and said that she still had a few taels of silver. Who knows, her mother actually said, 'If you do a good job in the Jiang family, what can you do to redeem yourself?' When she returned home, no one gave her a monthly allowance. The same village said, "The second girl will be in her early twenties if she doesn't marry again, and she is an old girl." Her father said, 'The old girl has no one to want, so why should she go home?' Anyway, if you follow Jiang Yu, you can still have something to eat. āā
Ah Huan flattened his mouth, "How can there be such relatives in this world, it's better not to." ā
Jiang Ruoning set up the noodle person, Ah Bao was about to pinch it, Xiaocao grabbed her little hand, "Miss Bao, you can't touch it, it's not like it if you touch it, you have to let it dry, and then Miss Bao can play." ā
Jiang Ruoning got up and walked to Erniu's side, "Erniu, if I don't give you three days off, you can go home and take a look first, bring less money with you, buy some candy, and cut two catties of pork when you get to your town." ā
"Miss......"
"Go, let your mother bring the silver to redeem you."
In the afternoon, the second girl had a meal, cleaned up briefly, received the clothes she didn't wear into the baggage, and followed the familiar fellow villagers home.
Ah Bao was arguing about the black mi, rhubarb, and Jiang Ruoning sat in the hall and continued to pinch her.
Xiaomei Baba'er looked, Jiang Ruoning pinched Xiaomei's cats and dogs, and a Zhibo Xiaomei, and Xiaomei was so happy that she went to look at Zhibo like a baby.
"Madam, my grandfather said it looks like it's pinched!"
Jiang Ruoning smiled slightly.
"Ah Huan, Ming'er is Mu Xiu, I haven't been back to Ping'an Village for almost a month, you stay here, I'll take Xiaocao and Ah Bao back to have a look."
"Lord Wen is not going?"
"He's busy."
This big case alone was enough for him to keep busy.
The mysterious missing person is likely to be the murderer, the approval of the Dali Temple has been issued, and the imperial court has arrested this person everywhere, and in time, as long as this person is caught, the truth will surface.
Ah Bao heard that Jiang Ruoning was going to take her to relatives, and she was excited all night, and when she got up the next morning, Jiang Ruoning dressed her up and took her little hand and went out.
Xiaocao also wore a new dress because she made a new dress, received a monthly example, got a reward, took it all with her old brain, and cut a pound of meat for her family, and followed Jiang Ruoning back to Ping'an Village, once she returned to the village, she went back to her own home.
Seeing Jiang Ruoning coming back, Jiang took Ah Bao and carried a basket, in addition to three catties of pork, it was a catty of candy, and there were a few bamboo sticks with a noodle person, some were cats, some were like chickens, and some were like dogs, they were very good-looking, and each nephew got one.
The bolt led edamame around Bao, "This is my aunt's daughter?" She looks so cute! ā
Ah Bao said loudly: "My mother said that I am a little fairy!" ā
"It's really a little fairy!"
This little girl is beautiful and cute, bolts, edamame and Luo Fusheng's Luzi, all the people who can play and know how to play are all boys, and there are a few children of two or three years old behind her, all of whom are boys, two sons and one daughter of the iron pillar: bolts, pillars, ropes, ropes, ropes just can walk, and they are not very steady; The Tuzhu family had three sons: edamame, mung bean, and hu dou; The water column is a son and a daughter: Luzi and Xiaoxi. Three big ones followed, followed by a few smaller ones.
There are many children, Ah Bao also had fun, climbed to the tree with the bolt and edamame to dig the chicken nest, and the bolt took his younger brother to the river to catch crabs, and after a while, Liu Cuitian shouted: "Bolt, you are the elder brother, you are not allowed to go to the river, come back quickly!" After a while, it was the eldest sister Gu who chased Mao with a stick to feed; After a while, it was Luo Fu who captured his own Luzi and Xiaoxi, and brought back a few big ones.
However, after a while, a group of children secretly played again.
When I was at home, there was a lot of noise and commotion.
When you're not at home, calm down immediately. The three concubines called the children at the top of their voices, as if they had agreed, and took turns shouting them one by one.
When the family was doing well, they expanded the house and built three main houses on the east side, which belonged to the Tuzhu family in the second room, the Tuzhu couple lived in the east house, and the children lived in the west house.
The foundation was laid on the west side but not rebuilt, and it was reserved for the future water pillar's family to live, and the water pillar lived in the west wing, and the iron pillar lived in the east wing with his children.
Whenever the Jiang family quieted down, several concubines shouted loudly, but when the child came back, the noise made people's heads dizzy.
Jiang Ruoning sat in the east room, and Jiang asked softly, "What do you think?" ā
"I told Zhou Banxia about my difficulties, and wrote two letters to Li Guan, and not long ago, he replied to one, saying that he believed me."
She faintly felt that Li Guanxu also had her own concerns and difficulties.
separated, and Xu's feelings faded.
However, she really likes Li Guan.
She could only wait until he returned to Qingxi County.
But he was entangled in the business of the capital, and he couldn't be idle for a while, let alone come back. (To be continued.) )
