Shi Qi didn't return to the tavern, he rushed to Ouyang Yanzhao's mansion overnight, and he didn't rest except for eating for a while on the way. Although Jiang Xianglian, who kept shaking in front of him, made him waste his skills, her ruthless turn back to go to Warm Huai still made Shi Qi wonder. He is small, and all he gets from Teacher Su is that a woman should start from the beginning, and now, Jiang Xianglian is preparing for Bi Xuewen and ending, Shi Qi can't understand it, he is a young man in white, and the county official is already middle-aged.

He looked at the book for a while, but Yan Ruyu never appeared again in the book, he had experienced the women of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now there are also beautiful women like clouds in Lord Ouyang's mansion, but his heart is not that he can't move, but no woman treats him as an adult, just teasing him for being a child. He couldn't read his book, and after he left, Jiang Xianglian was not interrogated by Bi Xuewen when he went in, but just rested with each other after a little comfort. Jiang Xianglian didn't expect Shi Qi to have this kind of amazing martial arts, she just heard that his homework was okay, and now his skills can also be, his delicate body disappeared with him on the wall, which reminded Jiang Xianglian of her first time.

Bi Xuewen has long been an old guest in officialdom, he knows from Shi Qi's actions that the other party is not Fan Fan's generation, he can enter and leave his house freely, his face is not afraid, and he is a small child, which is enough to explain the strength of the other party. He wasn't worried about Jiang Xianglian's family background, but there must be another master behind the child, maybe it was a drinker who boasted about Haikou in Jiang Nanshan Tavern and wanted to help him get his daughter back. Or, the distant relative sent by Hu Zuocheng also has some background that he didn't figure out, in short, for a second-hand woman, Bi Xuewen can't gamble on his net worth and officialdom prospects. He had already received a notice from Ouyang Yanzhao's subordinates that there might be a governor from above in the near future, and Bi Xuewen couldn't make trouble for Lord Ouyang at such a juncture.

Without the appeasement of the county official, Jiang Xianglian began to miss Shi Qi a little, but her polluted body made her have no face to think about her first legal boy anymore. Several people couldn't sleep well all night, Shi Qi didn't want to practice martial arts or read books when he got up in the morning, he suddenly wanted to go to Yang Sutian's case-handling venue, Ouyang Yanzhao's family didn't know where Lord Yang was now, and told him that it was not difficult to find it, and he would find out if he inquired along the official road. When the Qin mission came out, the movement of opening the road was greater, and the oral transmission of the common people was more accurate.

Shi Qi followed their advice, it didn't take too much trouble, he followed Yang Sutian's team, Yang Sutian asked: "Seeing that the exam is about to start, why didn't you study your homework in the house?" Shi Qi said: "I follow the master in my heart, besides, in your team, I will not be allowed to do more, it will not affect my reading, and I can also take a look at the master's case by the way, the books are summarized from reality, I have more experience, and the effect is better than that of the teacher." I heard that you were the top few in the palace examination in the early years, and I also wanted to ask you more about some experience and test-taking skills. When it came to his early palace exams, Yang Sutian seemed to be back to the past, and he couldn't help but feel that Shi Qi was really a sensible child, and what he said was something that made him happy when he listened to it.

Yang Sutian set up a public court in one of Ouyang Yanzhao's mansions, posted a notice, and handled the case for ten days, redressed those who were wronged, and accepted the case if there were appeals. In the afternoon of the same day, a woman came to the lobby, and Yang Sutian personally took Xiao Qi to the hall, he wanted Shi Qi to see his majesty, calmness, and judgment like a god. The woman presented the form, Yang Sutian was taken aback, the woman claimed to be Jiang Wenzhi, and her father's name was Jiang Shangyun, just because her father left home, her family was separated, and now she was framed, she no longer considered her father's early confession, she just wanted to redress her grievances and go to Jiuquan to accompany her mother earlier.

Jiang Shangyun's matter Yang Sutian is too clear, it was in his hands that Jiang Shangyun disappeared, he has always felt guilty about this matter, and now his daughter can actually fall into this step, Yang Sutian, who has always been strong, burst into tears, he went against the norm and immediately rewarded Jiang Wenzhi's seat. He said: "Your father was not guilty of sitting on the throne back then, it was he who chose to leave his position, and as an official of the imperial court, it is a big crime to leave his post without permission." However, it has been many years, you admit that you are Jiang Shangyun's daughter, and I will send someone to verify, but your father's business has nothing to do with you, why do you complain, I will take a look at the complaint first. ”

It turned out that the man Jiang Wenzhi married was originally a small rich man, and for many years, she had always wanted to go home to find her younger brothers, but the rich man didn't want him to go back, because he knew the current downfall of the Jiang family, and he was afraid that Jiang Dongfeng's appearance would disrupt the balance of their family's life and become a burden to their family. Jiang Wenzhi has always believed her man's words, saying that her family has gone through the wrong thing, there is no news of her younger brothers, and someone will notify her when there is news, her man lied to her, saying that he had given her neighbors silver as the cost of notifying them when there is news in the future.

Because there is a puddle of water on their land, which is a clear and attractive water body, and the surrounding fields are watered by their family's water, a local rich man took a fancy to it, and wanted to buy her family's land several times, but of course her man did not let it. Three years ago, during the Chinese New Year, her man went to the field to see the growth of seedlings, and actually drowned in his own pond, and then it was reported that her family's paddy field was a fierce land, and her family's existence would bring disaster to the neighbors. She became the target of everyone's exclusion, and soon, her two children were beaten on the way to school, and her son came back alone, and her daughter even disappeared. She was worried about her son's safety, and hastily sold the land and left home, trying to find her missing daughter, but in the vast sea of people, she had no news at all. She demanded that her man's murderer be found out, and that her daughter's disappearance must have something to do with her family's land, but she had no evidence.

Shi Qi heard Lord Yang's inquiry and knew that she was Jiang Wenzhi, so he wanted to come forward to recognize him, but he didn't know why Lord Yang had such feelings for the Jiang family. Yang Sutian asked, "Why doesn't the rich man who occupies your family's land mentioned in your complaint have a name?" Jiang Wenzhi said: "Back to the master, the little one doesn't dare to call him by his name and surname, and the local people don't dare either. The rich man's surname is Lu, and he is the second lady of Lord Ouyang Yanzhao's family, looking at the world, don't say that you have a holy decree, they told me, even if the emperor comes in person, I heard that Ouyang's family affairs will also take a detour, and it will not give the Ouyang family face, let alone punish their crimes. ”

Yang Sutian asked: "The rich man Lu just wants to buy your family's land, why do you come to sue if you have no evidence?" It's been too long for the official to investigate the cause of your man's death and the whereabouts of your daughter, can you provide some useful clues? Jiang Wenzhi said: "I have no clues, if you pass the subordinates of the Lu Mansion one by one, you will definitely be able to try out the people who killed my man and abducted my child." Yang Sutian patted the hall and said: "Bold women, dare to tease the court, let me go to the court one by one for no reason, do you bully the incompetence of the official or think the official is naïve?" If you dare to come to court to talk nonsense in the future, be careful to cut your tongue. ”

After the official pulled Jiang Wenzhi out of the lobby, Shi Qi watched Jiang Wenzhi cry and leave, he wanted to step forward, but he didn't know how to communicate, he looked at Yang Sutian, and the residual anger didn't seem to have disappeared. Yang Sutian did not receive another case that day, because the people were also watching, and found that Jiang Wenzhi's grievances could not be redressed, and he knew that officials and officials protected each other in any dynasty, and which officials were the same, otherwise they would not be able to become officials.

When he arrived at the back hall, Yang Sutian looked at Shi Qi, who was flashing with big eyes, and said: "In the future, when I ascend to the hall, you don't want to watch from the sidelines, you can't let the local people recognize you, you will find a way to go to Lu Mansion early tomorrow morning, you are a child, they will not guard against you, see if you can find the whereabouts of Jiang Wenzhi's youngest daughter or find clues to her man's death." Lu Mansion is not easy to enter, you have to find a way, first observe outside the mansion gate, and be sure not to expose it, it is a place where you have lost your life and have no chance to reason. ”

If Shi Qi was allowed to go in directly, it would not be difficult for him, but if he had to find a way to get in, he didn't come up with a way to get in all night. Early the next morning, Yang Sutian asked the housekeeper to give him some scattered silver taels, and Shi Qi came to the Lu Mansion, which was really solemn and atmospheric, but such a large courtyard was located in such a small town, which made people feel too dazzling. Shi Qi looked outside the gate of the mansion, the endless stream of people coming in and out, the gate check was not chaotic at all, and Shi Qi had no chance to walk in in with great strides. He wanted to be with the food delivery and food delivery several times, but he was not tall, he did not look like a working person, and he did not have proper preparations in his hands for a while, so he wandered outside the door.

Shi Qi looked at the high wall, he was going to go directly from a remote place when no one was paying attention, there were many people in the courtyard, and no one would pay attention to him as a big boy when he entered. At this moment, several carriages came out of the Lu Mansion, and they smelled a strange smell from a distance, it turned out that the subordinates of the Lu Mansion were pulling the toilet waste at night to the manure tank at the edge of the field in the morning. Shi Qi thought for a while, ran to the last carriage and said to the man: "This big brother, I've been hungry all night, I'll help you deliver it this time, just follow the one in front, can you reward me with a steamed bun when you come back?" ”

The man looked at Shi Qi, Lingxiu was thin, and he was a child, and at the same time he came out of compassion, he didn't want to send such goods, he said: "When you arrive, see how the front is poured, you can do it, and when you come back, look for me at the dining place, make sure you are full, but be careful, brush it clean, and don't come back with a smell." Although Shi Qi didn't want to do it, this method was easier than him going down from the wall, at least he could have the opportunity to communicate with this big brother. This is really a chore, Shi Qi pinched his nose and brushed the toilet clean, because he was flexible and had more strength than those who did rough work on them, and this thing was done by the lowest people in the house, and everyone usually had the opportunity to grab the small merchants and hawkers who came in from outside to help, and they were not surprised by Shi Qi's appearance, not to mention that he was still a child.

Shi Qi looked at this puddle of clear water, as if he thought of something, he asked one of the older people: "This water is so good, it would be nice if we went down to take a bath in the summer, but unfortunately we are brushing the toilet here, if we lead the water to the side, the water will not be polluted in the future." The old man looked at Shi Qi and asked, "You are the vegetable seller, right?" Lao Chai Tou is really embarrassed, let a child help him, did he calculate some more weight for you? Shi Qi said: "I didn't say this, I don't know, my father asked me to help." ”

The man squatted down, filled himself with a bag of cigarettes, and watched the other two continue to brush, he said: "This is not the land of the old man's house, but this puddle of water is too good, you are small, you don't know, you still want to take a bath here?" It's a drowning man, beware of the water ghost dragging you away. He looked at the other two, and the sound of their work muffled the content of their conversation, and they couldn't hear it.

Shi Qi said: "This body of water is really big, there must be a lot of fish in it, even if people drown, there will be no little water ghosts." The old man told him that when it was not the land of Lu Mansion in the past, the dead ghost would drain the water every year during the Chinese New Year, and since the drowning of people, the depression pond returned to Lu Mansion, and the Lu family didn't care about these fish, and they might also be worried about bad luck, plus it would be inconvenient to clean the toilet in winter after draining the water. Therefore, now there are a lot of big fish in it, and some people say that they grew up eating human flesh, and no one dares to come to this place at night.

When Shi Qi wanted to ask again, the two people brushed it, and one of them went to Shi Qi's toilet to check it, and after there was no smell, everyone rushed back together. The old vegetable head was talking about it, Shi Qi arrived at the dining place, where he was waiting for Shi Qi. He said: "You eat in this place, go out quickly after eating, if someone asks you when you go out, you will say that I helped me deliver the toilet, my surname is Cai." Shi Qi asked: "I heard that the place where the toilet was cleaned was strange and scary, and the previous owner drowned there?" ”

The surnamed Cai said: "You are full and go out, you are not holding it up yet, why are you saying these words, be careful that the housekeeper breaks your mouth." He looked to both sides, but no one paid attention to them, and the old vegetable head continued: "Is the man you said short-lived? Let him sell it for a good price, disagree. Now that my life is gone, the water is gone, and the land is gone, my wife and children will be someone else's in the future, which is really unfortunate. You and I are both poor people, and our lives are very long, once we have a good field and a good woman, our life will not be long! As he spoke, he left into the distance, Shi Qi thought of Jiang Xiulian, and then thought of Jiang Wenzhi's man in the water, it was definitely not an ordinary accident.

Shi Qi wanted to ask for a while, but the old vegetable didn't want to say anything, so he chased after him and asked, maybe it would make the other party suspicious. After eating, Shi Qi sat down in the aisle outside the dining place, where there happened to be a pile of spinach, Shi Qi learned from the previous Shi Caishuang, put his straw shoes under his body, and slowly removed the miscellaneous leaves and roots of the spinach, without raising his eyes to look at people.
