Chapter 41 A flower thief came to the village
"I can't see that you're so interested in the affairs of your own officials other than that you like to hurt people." ”
Qingfeng hid behind his adult with a grateful face, the adult was right, only women and villains are difficult to raise.
Bai Jiaojiao sat on the stool and did not get up. "I just heard A-Niang say that the adult's family is poor and miserable, and I'm just curious. My mother has always been soft-hearted, and I don't know that there is a word in this world called inconsistency. ”
It was still a familiar blue robe, and Bai Jiaojiao looked at the corner of the robe that reminded this person that he still owed her money. "I am really curious about living in such a small place as Liujia Village."
"It's not because the county government is too broken, although this house is also very broken, it's cheap, only twenty taels." Qingfeng said quickly.
Immediately, Qin Moshu looked desperate, this entourage was not saved.
Sure enough, Bai Jiaojiao's face showed an expression that was exactly like this. "Poor family? Miserable background? As soon as I made a move, I bought a broken house for twenty taels, so it was. "This illiterate fool spent twenty taels on such a shabby house.
Xiuchun, who was originally immersed in "I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so handsome", also had a ghostly expression. "Big ...... My lord, you really spent twenty taels to buy this yard. "Where is this broken thatched house worth twenty taels, it can't be inhabited until it is cleaned up, and Li Zheng is too black-hearted.
Qin Moshu realized that he might have really been deceived, a good Liu family village, no wonder he always sent some rice, grains, vegetables and fruits to his house recently, it turned out to be a weak heart! For officials, it is no wonder that the whole village is up and down, and the wind is corrupt.
His face was still expressionless, and Qin Moshu secretly wrote down the positive account in his heart. "Since this official chose this place, it is naturally my reason. Bai Sanniang, the official remembers that you said that the official will play 30 boards first, are you ready? ”
Bai Jiaojiao resisted the urge to scratch the little white face that seemed to be smiling, and held back a mouthful of blood, "Could it be that everyone who reports the case will be hit by thirty boards." ”
"Don't, my lord, don't beat Sister Jiaojiao, I have something to say, and it's not about Sister Jiaojiao." Xiuchun was anxious when she heard this, and the thirty boards hit Bai Jiaojiao's body.
"So your name is Kyauk-kyauk?" Qin Moshu sat upright on the bench, biting the word "Jiaojiao" with a paralyzed face, which made Bai Jiaojiao look hateful. However, someone who knew that he would accept it when he saw it was good, quickly put on a businesslike attitude and said to Xiuchun. "This lady, when do you want to report?"
Hmph, if someone else has something to report, they don't have to be punished, she is making trouble when she comes to report the case, this person is really clear. It's not that Bai Jiaojiao wants Xiuchun to be beaten, it's just that she can't see these unfairness the most. But she didn't know that Qin Moshu had forgotten about the copper plate owed to her at all, and only thought that her random guidance was just fun and bad-hearted, so she naturally had a little prejudice.
"My lord, I'm here for the loss of people in the village."
Is it another case of disgrace? Qin Moshu immediately paid attention. "There are also women missing in your family?"
"No, no, I mean that on the night when Aunt Jixiang's second lady was lost, I once saw a figure running over the wall of our house." Xiuchun blushed and hurriedly explained, but she couldn't let others misunderstand, she was the only girl in his family.
"Are you sure you read that right?"
Xiuchun shook his head. "Because the next day was the time to teach Luozi, so I rushed to Luozi overnight and didn't sleep. I was a little tired, so I went out for a walk, but I saw someone running by. Originally, I thought I was dazzled, but now that I think about it, that person seems to be carrying a ** bag. "Then I seemed to confirm that I was not mistaken." Sister Kyaukjiao, I remember that there was also light in your house that night. ”
Bai Jiaojiao thought for a moment and nodded. "So it is."
"Bai Jiaojiao, what were you doing that night. You two live next to each other, and you don't notice? Qin Moshu found a clue, naturally he would not let go of any clues, seeing that Xiuchun was talking and finally said thoughtfully, he knew that there would be no more clues.
"I don't bother to do anything, but I really don't see it." Double-sided embroidery is her secret, and she can't let the Liu family know about it.
"If you think about it carefully, this is the fifth case of missing people in several nearby villages." Since there are no witnesses, the families of the lost people are afraid of revealing their ugliness and hiding them, even if they report the crime, they say that they don't know about half of them and half of them. "I don't want a sixth, seventh."
"Although I don't know any clues, the fact that person can carry a person over the wall and move quickly shows that he is in good health, and even if he doesn't know martial arts, he must exercise regularly, which shows that he is a young man with strong limbs." Bai Jiaojiao pondered and reasoned. "Several of our families live in remote places, and it can be seen that we have learned about it in advance. There are no strange faces wandering around these days, so it can only be people from the village. ”
Qin Moshu looked at her deeply when he heard this, he didn't expect her to think about it so much, and some of them even coincided with his thoughts. "But you missed it, the people who know the terrain are not necessarily the people in the village, but they may also be familiar with the people in the village."
"Then the adult means that this person is from outside the village?" Xiuchun didn't understand, but he asked if he didn't understand.
Qin Moshu still shook his head. "The missing girls are all fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are all described as middle-to-upper in appearance and rarely go out. If you don't know every family well, how can you know who has a school-age girl? ”
After that, he looked at Bai Jiaojiao again. "Besides, you also said that you only saw a figure, but you can't be sure whether you are tall or short, fat or thin, so how can you say that it is a man. The verdict is not based on speculation, but on evidence. ”
"You said that the missing people are all young girls, who else would it be if it wasn't the flower thief, of course it's a man." Bai Jiaojiao was unconvinced, although she had never solved the case, how could she have watched so many police movies in her previous life.
"Huh." The two words carried a cold mockery, and Qin Moshu lowered his head with some intimidation. "Maybe it's trafficking. Bai San Niang, you have to be careful. ”
"Mind your own business." knew that this guy was unreliable, and he came to scare her. Bai Jiaojiao pulled and glared at Xiuchun, who was obviously in fear beside him.
"Qingfeng, you go and let Xiaochuan check to see who these families usually have dealings with, and whether there is anything in common with the preferences of these families." Qin Moshu heard the ridicule of his appearance in her words, and immediately became unhappy, you must know that he usually hates others to use his appearance to say things, so he often has a straight face, it is said that this looks more majestic.
"Who is Okawa?" Bai Jiaojiao said curiously.
Qingfeng came out, "It's a new official recruited by the yamen." ”
"You still have money to ask the servants."
"This is a matter for the Yamen, if you don't have any other news, please go back." Qin Moshu issued an eviction order without a smile.
Bai Jiaojiao glanced at the cold eyes, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to eavesdrop, what, look down on people, hum. "Xiuchun, let's go."
