Chapter 67: Pan Jinlian

Seeing Liu Quan walking towards him, Wu Song couldn't help but take two steps back. Because, because of www.biquge.info in his heart, he suddenly thought in his heart: The suspect who shot Hu Qin, the second masked man, since he is the person lurking in the yamen of Qinghe County, can it be this Liu Quan?

However, he immediately dismissed the idea. Because, the second masked person had just left, and Liu Quan had just arrived with the soldiers at this time, and they obviously couldn't be the same person.

So, who exactly is this second masked man?

Wu Song's mind flashed the figure of the confidential Ma Kui. However, this was also denied by him immediately, because Ma Kui had fought with him, and even if he had not successfully cultivated the technique of breathing the Dharma Heart Sutra at that time, Ma Kui was not his opponent.

This is, Liu Quan has already walked to his side and said: "Acting Dutou, we came as soon as we received the information, and we didn't delay for a moment, but it was still too late and couldn't help you deal with the suspect." You weren't hurt in any way, were you? ”

Wu Song's complexion regained his calmness, shook his head, said that he was fine, and asked lightly, "Before you came, did you meet Lord Jiang and Hou Jiang of the county?" ”

Liu Quandao: "No." We came directly by the order of the county magistrate, but we didn't report to Jiang Xiancheng. It stands to reason that this kind of thing doesn't seem to have to be reported to him. ”

Wu Song said: "The person who escaped just now is the accomplice of the four suspects who are now being detained by us, and those four suspects were brought back by Master Jiang, so I remembered him." Is Jiang Xiancheng in the yamen today? ”

Liu Quan shook his head and said, "We didn't pay attention to this." Are you looking for him? ”

Wu Song said: "No, I'm just asking casually." Let's go back to the county office and report the situation to the magistrate! ”

The group turned around and walked towards Qinghe County. When Wu Song came out, he followed the two masked men and the Qing Gongzi over the city wall, and when he returned to the city, of course, he didn't have to go back over the wall, he could only go through the east gate. But then you have to take a little detour.

However, Liu Quan told Wu Song that if he entered from the East City Gate, he could take a shortcut back to the Yamen, and the road was still not far away.

Along the way, Wu Song was thinking: Could the second masked man who shot Hu Qin be the county queen Jiang?

The possibility is very high! Not only does Empress Jiang herself give people a feeling of being hidden, but also among the people who quickly rushed to the scene after shooting Hu Qin that day, there was Empress Jiang. If Empress Jiang was the one who hid in the shadows and released the flying knife, then he would indeed be unaware of the fact that he quickly recovered his identity as a county official and rushed to the scene after shooting Hu Qin.

Then, Jiang Hou took the initiative to invite Ying, led people to hunt down the suspect, and captured four Fang Jinzhi's subordinates, now it seems that this is also very likely that Jiang Hou deliberately covered himself up and arrested Fang Jinzhi's subordinates, which can not only hit Fang Jinzhi, but also divert the attention of the case detection, and can further make people not suspect him, which can be described as killing many birds with one stone.

In short, if what Fang Jinzhi said is true, and the second masked man is lurking in the yamen of Qinghe County, then the county queen is very suspicious!

"Acting Dutou, through this alley, the yamen is very close!" Wu Song was pondering, and Liu Quan's words interrupted his train of thought.

He looked up and was slightly startled, wasn't it the nameless alley he had met last time Pan Jinlian in front of him?

At this time, there were still few pedestrians in the nameless alley, but there were bursts of gongs, drums, and suona sounds. Although he is a person who has crossed over, Wu Song can still hear that this is the sadness of this era.

And this mourning seems to come from the small courtyard where Pan Jinlian lives!

Wu Song immediately secretly said that it was not good. He barely had to guess to realize that it was Tailor Pan who was seriously ill.

He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to the door of Pan Jinlian's residence, and sure enough, he saw a funeral dress here, with several white lanterns hanging on the door, in which the words "Pan's Mansion Funeral" were written, and on both sides was a white paper couplet, from which bursts of gongs, drums and mourning music came out.

Pan Jinlian's father and daughter have no other relatives, so although it is a funeral, there are no guests, only a few people with unkind faces are helping to take care of chores, Wu Song guesses that these people are all from Zhang Dahu's mansion.

A few days ago, I met Pan Jinlian, and Pan Jinlian said that her father's condition did not improve, and now he is really powerless. Since he met it, of course Wu Song had to go in to pay respects, and also take a look at Pan Jinlian, who had just suffered the pain of losing his father.

Seeing this, Liu Quan and the other catchers had to follow in, and those native soldiers were ordered by Liu Quan to disband and let them go back.

The servant sent by the Zhang Mansion to greet the guests in front of the door was originally sitting at the door and dozing off. Wu Song stepped forward and gently touched him with his foot, and the servant suddenly woke up, and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw that Wu Song was burly and tall, heroic, and wearing the official clothes in the yamen, and followed by a team of wolf-like hunters, he had to barely hold back, and sang according to the funeral ceremony: "There is a guest!" ”

Wu Song came to the middle mourning hall.

There were not many people in the mourning hall, and Wu Song saw at a glance that Pan Jinlian was wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling in front of the spiritual seat, and her simple filial piety clothes set off her slender figure, which was even more pitiful.

Although she was holding a vigil for her father, she still held the little white rabbit in her arms.

Beside her, there were a few listless women, presumably from Zhang's Mansion, and a few monks pretending to beat gongs and drums and chant scriptures.

The Pan family is now in a state of decay, and they have no relatives in Qinghe County, so few people come to pay their filial piety. Therefore, hearing that there was a guest arriving, Pan Jinlian, who originally lowered her head, was very surprised, looked up and saw Wu Song at a glance.

She couldn't help but have a flash of light in her eyes.

When Wu Song saw Pan Jinlian, he saw that her beautiful eyes were red and swollen at this time, obviously caused by excessive sadness and crying, but the redness and swelling did not make Pan Jinlian's eyes ugly, but had a more lovely beauty.

She was pale and haggard, like a pear blossom shivering in the cold wind. I haven't seen her for a few days, and she has lost a lot of weight, which makes people sigh more and more for her loneliness, weakness and misfortune.

However, in Wu Song's original imagination, Pan Jinlian would inevitably cry when her father was mourned, but at this time, although Pan Jinlian was full of sadness, she didn't cry anymore, maybe because she had already cried too much.

There was obviously a resolute look in her lonely and weak expression.

And after seeing Wu Song, there was a touch of brightness, a touch of relief and hope in his resolute and resolute look, as if a person in drowning suddenly saw a sailboat, and like a person in the dark suddenly saw a star of light.
