"Do you really believe that scoundrel can seduce such a rich little lady?"

The proprietress of the cloth shop opposite shook her fan, and Yu Shizhao behind Chong Liansheng flew a few eyebrows: "The little lady used the most expensive incense powder of the Yao family, and a box cost 2 taels of silver." ”

"2 taels of silver, my good girl, no wonder the little lady is so pink and delicate, the silver grinding powder can't be rubbed!" The owner of the bun shop was surprised.

"This sister, do you recognize that girl?"

As soon as the proprietress saw that she was called sister by such a beautiful woman, her fat white bun face immediately wrinkled into a ball of chrysanthemums: "This female official is really good at talking!" That little lady slave family has seen it twice, the dress is not an ordinary person, that incense powder is really the best goods in the Yao family's shop, and the slave family looked at it and died. Female official, look at my shop, it's just coarse cloth and thick linen, such a little lady wants to wear silk and satin, where can I see these goods. ”

He Gui heard the proprietress of the cloth shop say that the smell of incense powder, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Adult, the little ones have also smelled the smell of incense powder!" ”

"The little one remembered, when the young man came over, the little one smelled a fragrance, it was the smell of fat powder, and the little one still thought that this person was mixed with the girl in the kiln just now, so fragrant, and now I think, is it also the incense powder of 2 taels of silver?"

A man who smells of fat powder?

What does this mean? Does this man like to linger in the flowers or is he originally the one who works in the incense powder shop?

Nothing was found at Jiang Xiaomao's residence. The group returned to the county office.

"Why are you two here?"

Liansheng finally found a chance to ask.

"Hehe, it's idle. Come out and go around. I'll be your master's guard. ”

Yu Shizhao was dressed in cloth and shook his fan with a smile. Wang Heng had been silent all the way, and when he heard Lian Sheng ask, he looked around and whispered: "We won't be here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and the reason for this can't be explained in a few words." ”

Liansheng understood, these two people were afraid that they were going out of Beijing with a heavy responsibility, and following themselves as a horse boy was the best way to cover up.

Back at the county office, Niu County Commander had already prepared a banquet. Two tables were prepared, and the guests and hosts sat down, Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng were Liansheng's staff, accompanied by the master and the head of the team. Liansheng and Xu Yan's table was accompanied by Mrs. Niu and Niu. Lian Sheng glanced at Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng out of the corner of his eye. The two of them were peaceful, not at all uncomfortable, Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at this Niu Zhixian as a capable official. It's best not to be convicted of offending Yu Shizhao because of his vagueness. How wronged that is.

Eaten. Everyone was sitting and drinking tea, and they heard someone outside the door report: "Master, someone will report the case when the corpse source list is posted." said that her father-in-law had been missing for more than ten days, and looking at the corpse should be. ”

Liansheng and Niu Zhixian both looked happy, and it was not easy for the corpse that was so tightly rotted to find the source of the corpse.

"Missing for more than ten days, why hasn't my family reported to the authorities?" Yu Shizhao sat on the side and said.

Indeed, in the past few days of disappearance, the family did not report to the official, and appeared as soon as the list of identifying the body was posted, indicating that the family members knew a little about this person's disappearance?

With this in mind, Liansheng met with the informant.

This is a beautiful young woman, supported by a maid, and when she saw Niu Zhixian, she hurriedly bowed down: "The eldest lord wants to be the master of the little woman." ”

Niu Zhixian looked at this beautiful girl, a little helpless, coughed dryly, waved his hand and said: "This is the sentencing lord from the capital, you can tell the sentencing lord truthfully if you have anything to say." ”

The corner of the young woman's eyes still drifted to Niu Zhixian, and she pressed her eyes with a handkerchief.

This woman seems to have a problem. Xu Yan gently tugged at the corner of Liansheng's clothes behind her.

"Who are you? How can you tell if the body is your husband's? ”

Liansheng asked bluntly.

The list posted by the yamen said...... The corpse didn't recognize its face, but there was a jade pendant, and there was a jade wrench on his finger, and the little woman looked at the style that the list said, it belonged to my father-in-law. I can't think of my father-in-law, he ...... ......The woman whimpered and cried, and the maid next to her hurriedly comforted: "Second grandmother, we didn't see that object, maybe it's not our second master." ”

As he spoke, the master pinched his nose and presented the object on the corpse.

When the woman saw it, she fainted and hung softly on the maid, who exclaimed, "Second grandmother, second grandmother." ”

Xu Yan didn't like these delicate women the most, so she stepped forward and pressed down hard according to the young woman's middle woman, the young woman woke up with a faint sound, Lian Sheng looked at her and shook her head at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan turned around and returned to the back hall, Yu Shizhao glanced at her and said to Wang Heng: "Some people have been jealous of those who are better looking than themselves since they were children. I haven't changed this problem since I grew up. ”

Xu Yan glared at him, Wang Heng smiled and shook his head, and poured her a cup of tea.

Xu Yan took the tea and drank it slowly, while listening to Liansheng asking in front of her.

"Who are you? Who is your husband? When did you go missing? ”

"The little woman's husband's surname is Yao, my father-in-law is the second in the family, everyone calls him Yao Er, and he disappeared when he went out ten days ago."

The master on the side suddenly said: "Could it be Yao Er from the incense powder shop?" ”

The woman nodded and said: "The Yao family has been operating incense powder for many years, it is a family business, and my uncle died young, so the shop is run by my father-in-law, and the long house is just eating dry stocks." ”

"Why didn't you report your husband's disappearance for more than ten days?"

"This ......" Second Grandma Yao stopped when she said this, and Lian Sheng saw that her hands hidden in her sleeves were tangled together, biting her lip, as if it was difficult to speak.

But the maid simply said: "Second grandma, things have come to such a field, and the second master's life is gone, what else can't be said?" If you don't say anything, the second master will be killed in vain. ”

It seems that there is really a secret in this!

Liansheng looked at Grandma Yao Er and whispered, "Everyone is a woman, if there is anything you can't say, I will help you." Your husband's body is so horrible that you don't want to avenge him? ”

The second grandmother Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally bit her lip and said, "I thought he was ...... I thought he had gone to the eldest sister-in-law of the long house. ”

"Why do you think that? Your husband has a good relationship with the long house? ”

"Good relationship? Hmph, the Song family in the long room is a fox, her widow's family, she doesn't keep the festival well, she seduces the little uncle behind her back, she is not ashamed, if it weren't for the fear of ruining my father-in-law's reputation, I would have made a fuss a long time ago. Second Grandma Yao said and cried again.

"Is that true? There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, maybe all of them are misunderstandings? Or maybe it's just that your husband usually takes care of his eldest sister-in-law because of the early death of his eldest brother. ”

"No, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the little woman, the little woman has real evidence. It must be the fox who seduced him, otherwise how could my father-in-law take a fancy to such a rotten thing. ”

Yao Er's grandmother said gritted her teeth.

The maid next to her also said: "Yes, my lord, you haven't seen that fox, she stands with my grandmother, as long as she has eyes, she will choose my grandmother, and she won't fall in love with that woman, how can my second master put the fragrant flowers at home and don't go to hug the dog's tail grass, it must be that woman doesn't abide by women's ways, and my second master is on her way." ”

This is another ethical drama where women are embarrassed by women!

"Because your husband has an affair with your sister-in-law, you haven't been looking for him all these days since he disappeared?"

"I went to the long room to look for it, but the fox didn't dare to see me, and said that he was sick. What kind of illness can she have, hiding in the backyard, the doors and windows are tightly covered, and she is not afraid of covering maggots, she must have not done good deeds, and her heart is empty! ”

Grandma Yao suddenly knelt on the ground when she said this: "The woman begged the two adults to make the decision for the woman, it must have been the fox who killed the woman." ”

"Why are you so sure?"

Niu Zhixian asked.

"Because the husband of the folk woman has been trying to eat the dried shares of the fox some time ago, the fox does not agree. My father-in-law and I complained a few times behind my back. It is extremely tricky to say that the matter of the fox is extremely tricky. ”

"This is strange, since your husband has an affair with her, why do you want to eat other people's dry shares? Aren't you contradicting yourself? Or ......"

Liansheng looked at Grandma Yao's eyes: "You are hiding a lot of facts, and you are playing tricks on us with your rhetoric!" (To be continued......)
