157, confusing
Originally, a few people present, such as Li Xiancheng, who were more shrewd, already understood Xiao Yuanyou's intentions.
Xin Yi's 'fifth brother' still startled them.
Xiao Yuanyou knew that Xin Yi was not a reckless person, and he would call himself what he wanted, so he must have something to say.
Immediately, he got up and turned to the back of the screen, and then Li Xiancheng and the others heard a voice from behind the screen, the voice was very clear, they wanted to hear it clearly, but it was very vague in their ears.
After a while, Xiao Yuanyou turned out from behind the screen with a flat face, bowed slightly to everyone, and sat down behind the bookcase.
"Master Li, you said that the baked cake merchant died silently at home, and the death of the mountain man, I don't know who tried the case of these two families?"
"Do you know the details?"
Li Xiancheng talked about the death of the baked cake merchant, the merchant had an illness when he was a child, and he had no money for treatment, so he finally survived, but he was born short and ugly, and he married a wife who was beautiful and fragrant.
The merchant is diligent, and the neighbors have a good impression of him, as for the wife, she is also very diligent, and the husband and wife are also loving and beautiful.
The merchant died in the middle of the night, when his wife was lying next to him, and it was because of this that the merchant's brother insisted that the merchant's wife was the murderer of his brother.
As for the state of death, Li Xiancheng thought about it and said, "According to the merchant's wife, the two of them were fine before falling asleep, and when they opened their eyes, they saw the merchant lying on his side, and the sky was bright." ”
"I immediately pushed it, but I didn't know if I pushed it, and then I saw that his face was serene, his body was cold, and the only suspicious thing was that the merchant had a smile on the corner of his lips."
"The death of that mountain man is similar to that of the merchant, and he also died with a smile, as if there was some great joy in front of him."
"The merchant's case is now closed?" Xiao Yuanyou suddenly asked.
Li Xiancheng was sneering, his eyes flickered, he thought for a long time, and patted his thigh,
"Don't hide it, my lord, this case is over, there is no murderer, and the merchant is not poisoned, and there are no external injuries, and he ends up smiling, it doesn't look like murder."
"So Lord Wei rejected the merchant's younger brother and let his wife go."
Behind the screen, Xin Yi's heart beat a little fast, she couldn't help but cover her chest, there was no trauma, no poisoning, she was peaceful before she died, and she smiled at the corners of her lips.
If it is put on the elderly, it may be described as a 'smile and death'.
But the merchant was a strong young man, and he did not suffer any illness.
Before she left Beijing, when she was sorting out her master's notebook, she had read a few lines of words, "The dream talisman is like a night's dream after using it......
Finally, at the end, it is clearly recorded above, "This talisman was obtained by accident, and it is not passed on." ”
Those handbooks were recorded by Master when she was young, recording some of her problems and experiences in her practice, and some of her secret secrets.
That's why she asked people to put the books there and organize them herself.
Since the master doesn't want to spread it, then she will definitely guard it well, but, who would have thought that such a 'sweet dream talisman' that is not spread by the outside world would appear in a small border county like Hexian?
It was even more used on two ordinary people who could no longer be ordinary.
Li Xiancheng's words were like a muffled thunder falling in mid-air, and Xin Yi's ears buzzed.
It took her to wake up after a while, and pinched her palm hard, except for the two apprentices Qingfeng and Mingyue, plus her.
Qingfeng and Mingyue can draw talismans and tell fortunes, but they have only been by the master's side for a little while, and it is impossible for the master to teach them such things.
As for herself, Xin Yi was sure that there was no mention of 'sweet dream talismans' or anything like that in those words, that is, the master didn't want to teach her these things.
If the master was alive, it was unknown whether he would teach it in the future, but before, she definitely hadn't thought about it.
This talisman looks good, just like the fugue charm and aphrodisiac charm, it is easy to be used by bad guys.
So, how did this 'Sweet Dream Talisman', which was only obtained by chance, come to a place like Hexian?
Xin Yi was a little dazed, because of Wei County's death, he didn't expect such an inside story to be involved.
Does the 'Sweet Dream Fu' have anything to do with Wei Xianling's death? At this point, Xin Yi couldn't understand it at all.
Xiao Yuanyou had heard Xin Yi talk about it when he went to the screen before, that is to say, the cause of death of the two people could not be understood.
Not because of anything else, but because they fell under a spell.
And Lord Wei's family of six died with a 'longevity charm'.
"Why don't you talk about Lord Wei." Xiao Yuanyou said.
"Lord Wei has been a county magistrate in He County for three years, and he is also quite a famous figure, one of course because of his filial piety."
Li Xiancheng sneered, "Rural people, idle and idle, love to talk about people's strengths and weaknesses, I heard that this Wei County Ling loves his old mother very much, sick all night in front of the sickbed, in order to see a doctor, do not hesitate to sell all the family wealth." ”
"When I left Hexian, except for a family of six, the rest was a little bit of entanglement, and it was Cheng Yi sent by our people."
In this way, it also eliminates the fact that robbers rob and die outside the city.
After Li Xiancheng finished talking about Wei County's order, he stared for a long time, and arched his hand towards Xiao Yuanyou,
"I beg your attention to give me advice on what to do next."
Wu County, who had been silent beside him, glanced at Li Xiancheng vaguely, this sycophant.
When Wei County Ling was there, he filmed Wei County's sycophant, and now this Lord Xiao is here, and he has changed to make Lord Xiao's sycophant.
I'm not afraid of the horse's fart slapping the horse's leg, but it's just a county order that has been belittled, can you use it to go up in such a hurry and stammer?
I heard that this Lord Xiao is His Majesty's adopted son and is very pampered, but if he wants to say, if he is really pampered, how can he be relegated to such a remote and wild place as He County?
Wu Xianwei did not believe that Lord Xiao was the adopted son of the favored emperor.
Xiao Yuanyou Zhengsedao,
"Lord Wei's family of six, two of them are retinues, then, when you are in the county office, there must be someone to serve, please gather these people who serve together, I have something to ask them."
"In addition, although this case is in He County, there was no one in charge in the county at that time, although I took this case, it was actually those above who were anxious."
"We just need to do our part and take care of everything else."
Li Xiancheng agreed, "Yes, what the adults said is that we are in the midst of obstacles, and it is better for the adults to dial it." ”
Wu County Lieutenant rolled his eyes again in his heart, and secretly scolded Li Xiancheng for being a sycophant.
When the Wei county order left, this colleague had the prestige of the county order, thinking that the higher authorities would raise him as the county order, but he didn't expect to wait for more than a year, and he didn't see the order from above, but a new county order came.
Tsk, the dream of being an official is gone, it's hard for him to laugh so freely, if he does, he will be ashamed to death.
It was agreed that after assigning the task, Li Xiancheng and the others withdrew.
Xiao Yuanyou got up with a heavy heart, and before he could lift his feet and turn to the side of the screen, he saw Xin Yi rushing out of it, with a look of hesitation on his face.
She was holding a document in her hand, which Xiao Yuanyou had just put casually on the couch behind the screen.
"Fifth brother, that Wei County Commander ......"
Xiao Yuanyou took her hand, asked her to sit down, and replied softly,
"What's wrong with you? What did you find? ”
Xin Yi spread out the document on the table and pointed it out to Xiao Yuanyou one by one,
"Fifth brother, this Wei County Commander is a diligent person, he has encouraged farmers and established township schools over the years, although he has not achieved anything, but what he has done is real."
How did such a diligent and moneyless official get targeted?
Moreover, I don't know when I died.
It's been more than a year since I left Hexian, and the partial body hasn't decomposed, and it looks like it didn't take long for the accident.
Then, Xin Yi spread out another thing, and said,
"This yamen, except for us, are all natives of this and county."
"Li Xiancheng's father is a lifting person, once served as the prefect of Xu County, and later because of a fraud, was dismissed, Li Xiancheng is the eldest son, when his father was in office, he sought the position of the county Cheng, speaking of which, the position of the county has been sitting in this county for decades."
This document was found by Xiao Yuanyou when he was sorting out the old things of the previous county order, and he didn't have time to read it.
I saw Xin Yi pointing to the top and saying,
"There is also this master book, which is also the son inherits his father's business, and the first master book is the father of the current master book, Li Xiancheng has a son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter is married to the eldest son of the master bookkeeper."
"Oh, by the way, Li Xiancheng's other daughter is a catcher in the yamen......"
Probably the female catcher who was hostile to her was about to do so.
"And this, Qu Liangshu, because I married the master bookkeeper, I made this grain book."
"Li Xiancheng's eldest daughter-in-law is the second daughter of the county Lijia, and the second daughter-in-law is the richest man in the county, the girl of the Qian family."
Xiao Yuanyou found that according to the list in this document, that is, this and the county yamen, in fact, half of them follow the surname of Li County, and half follow the surname of the main book.
It's not just that, Xin Yi continued to point to the top,
"Also, Yu Zhutou is married to Li Xiancheng's cousin, of which Wu County's Wei family has three daughters, Yu Zhutou took a fancy to the third daughter of Wu County's Wei family as his daughter-in-law, and wanted to entrust Li Xiancheng to be a matchmaker."
"But Li Xiancheng wants to tell Yu Zhutou that the girl of the Qian family ......"
"I don't know what's going on now."
After saying this in one breath, Xin Yi seemed to have returned to the days when he memorized the family tree, dizzy.
Xiao Yuanyou didn't feel dizzy, he listed the relationships between these people one by one, and chuckled,
"That is to say, in this yamen, all of them are close to each other, and they are close to each other......"
Xin Yi thought of the family tree that her grandmother gave her, and sighed twice,
"This is also the same reason as Shangjing, those big families, high-ranking families, if you calculate it carefully, aren't they also relatives in every family, and every household has an old."
Xiao Yuanyou laughed, "This is also common sense, officials must avoid it, and they can't go back to their hometowns, but the little officials, they are all local snakes, intertwined, passed down from generation to generation, and this and the county is in the far north, except for poverty is suffering." ”
"This is a small county, so it's a small matter."
However, it can be seen from this document that the relationship between Li Xiancheng and Wu County Lieutenant should not be very good.
Otherwise, Yu Zhutou wanted to marry the girl of the Wei family of Wu County, while Li Xiancheng wanted his family to marry the girl of the Qian family.
Xiao Yuanyou thought back to the relationship between Li Xiancheng and Wu County Lieutenant in the past two days, and it was indeed a little estranged, and the eyes of the two had to meet one place.
Wei Xianling's death may be able to find some flaws in these two people.
"My lord, there is a Li Zhu outside who wants to see him." Xiao Yi reported outside.
Xiao Yuanyou didn't care, and said casually, "Let him in." ”
"Lord Xiao, my subordinates want to talk to you about Lord Wei." The door was pushed open, and I saw the 'Li Zhukuai' in Xiao's mouth walking in.
It was the female catcher who was hostile to Xin Yi before, and she was also the girl of the Li family they had discussed before.
Li Zhu hurriedly walked in, saw Xin Yi inside, his footsteps were stagnant, and he opened his mouth and said,
"Madam, this is the county office, not a place to play in the back house. Madame shouldn't come here again and again, what do you think of this solemn county hall? ”
Xin Yi put down his hand of the Chinese book and looked at Li Hunt with a smile, should he say that this Li Catcher is quick and straightforward? Or is it straightforward?
After all, Li Xiancheng, Wu Xianwei and others also knew that she was here, but these people did not change their faces and continued to discuss the case with the fifth brother.
This Li Zhukuai is young and vigorous in the end.
Xiao Yuanyou asked coldly,
"I don't know what Li Zhu is going to report to the official, it's not early, the official is done today, and he is going back to the back office to rest."
This is clearly a gesture of having something to say quickly and farting about to release.
Li Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief, "Before the adult came here, his subordinates had read some of the deeds of the adult, and the adult could be called 'Qingtian' by the people of the capital, shouldn't he be diligent?" ”
"Why did you go down so quickly? Isn't Lord Wei's case investigated? ”
Xin Yi suddenly felt that this girl was definitely stunned.
Immediately, she smiled,
"Li Zhukuai, are you in a hurry?"
Li Zhu came in quickly, and when he saw Xin Yi, he was confused, as if he had forgotten what he was going to do, and said blankly,
"Nope."
Hardship,
"It's time to go down, if Li Zhu is fine, I'll take my father-in-law away? Feasible? ”
Li Zhukuai slandered in his heart, are all the nobles in the capital so obstructing their husbands from making progress? Before it gets dark, let her husband go back to accompany her?
She rolled her eyes in her heart, if she would definitely whip her husband to be motivated, not to mention the marquis and the prime minister, then she would always be respectfully called an adult.
Xin Yi saw that Li Zhu was hurrying, and suddenly said,
"Li Zhu, you can hurry up, you can't do this, you have to do things faster, you only came to report things to your boss like this, there is a problem with your thinking."
Li Zhukuai was furious in his heart, what did this county magistrate lady say? Why didn't she understand at all?
Are all the ladies in the capital like this? Fortunately, she is not a noblewoman!
Her greatest wish is to be a catcher that everyone admires!
Li Zhu quickly pressed the anger in his heart and said with difficulty, "My lord, when my subordinates were patrolling the city, they found a small servant who had served by Lord Wei in the past. ”
"Because it was a short-term contract, when Lord Wei left, this little guy stayed here."
"I heard him say that Lord Wei had a fierce quarrel with County Lieutenant Wu before leaving."
"Then the county lieutenant Wu said, 'I hope that my lord will go here and have a long future, and I will tell the truth to my master.'" ”
In other words, the county lieutenant of Wu is not just a county lieutenant, but someone above.
This is why he disdains to be with Li Xiancheng, because he doesn't need it, he has a backer.
As for this backer......
"Go and call the county lieutenant Wu to come over and ask, and you'll know."
"I have a hunch that I'm going to get a positive answer!"
Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou looked at each other and said in unison.
Li Zhukuai,......
What the hell are they talking about? Why are the people from the capital like this?
