I'm afraid that this urgent mission will not last until about the 18th of this month to be a little free, but Wood will try to take more time to code words to repay everyone's support.

Thank you!

——————————————————————－－

Hai Dashan bent his back, kept greeting people at the banquet at the door, and arranged to sit down for a banquet.

In a corner of the hall, Lin Ruofan, the daughter-in-law of Haizhuzi, was still dressed in white, sitting on a straw mat, looking at the ground blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Meng Tianchu stood in the distance and watched, hesitating for a moment whether to wait for the banquet to go to investigate, Nahai Dashan had already seen them, and trotted over with a smile, nodding his head and waist: "Master, Lizheng, you are here, please sit in the house!" ”

Meng Tianchu smelled the aroma of wine and food, and couldn't help but growl in his stomach, and then he remembered that he had been busy all morning and hadn't eaten yet. At the moment, you are not welcome, and stepped into the Haijiatang house.

Looking at Lin Ruofan, who was lost and depressed, Meng Tianchu's heart stirred, if he hadn't found out in time the case of Huang Shihu and their killing of the leper head four, this poor woman would have become a plaything between the three beasts, he was really glad, he hoped that he could help this absolutely beautiful and helpless woman.

A group of them entered the hall, and the light of the door was blocked by most of them. The light suddenly dimmed, making Lin Ruofan wake up from his distraction, and turned his head to look, just in time to meet Meng Tianchu's concerned eyes. She looked a little flustered, as if her heart had just been discovered, and she hurriedly stood up and bowed: "The little girl has seen Master Meng." ”

Although the light in the hall was not good, Meng Tianchu still found that Lin Ruofan's cheeks, which were originally so white that there was no trace of blood, were slightly flushed with a faint flush at this moment—I don't know if it was the panic of suddenly seeing so many people, or the nervousness of seeing the official family. Or maybe it was because of Meng Tianchu's concerned eyes.

Meng Tianchu bowed slightly: "Girl...... cough ............, Mrs. please mourn by the way" Immediately, he took out a piece of silver from his arms, didn't look at it, and handed it over: "Madam, this is a contemptible asset, a little heart." Do not push. ”

The hall was dimly lit, Lin Ruofan didn't see the silver clearly, and bowed down to take it, only then did he feel heavy. Take a closer look, it's a big ingot, I'm afraid there are not twenty taels, in the Ming Dynasty. If you save it, this silver is enough to maintain the life of a family of three for two years, so panicked that Lin Ruofan hurriedly pushed the silver back: "No, no, master, this is too much, we can't afford it......"

Since entering the East Factory, Meng Tianchu has already made a lot of money, and this bit of silver is a drop in the bucket for him. But he was also so poor that he sold test tubes at the beginning, and he knew the importance of silver, and he also knew what his ingot of silver meant to a rural family.

According to custom, in addition to helping people in rural areas, the gifts are also some eggs, rice, white flour and pork and other foods, or cloth and other daily necessities, even if there is money to give. It's only thirty or fifty copper coins. I can send hundreds of texts. It's already a very heavy gift, like Meng Tianchu who gave twenty taels a gift. Not to mention the countryside, even the homes of ordinary people in the city cannot be seen.

Meng Tianchu didn't answer, turned around and glanced at Hai Lizheng. This is equivalent to the current village head, the chief executive of the most basic political organization, dealing with the county bureaucrats on weekdays, this work of observing words and emotions is still relatively deep, and immediately understood, and said to Lin Ruofan: "Pillar daughter-in-law, this is Master Meng's condolence for the unfortunate death of the pillar brothers, if you want to push it back, but the disrespect to the pillar brothers is also disrespectful to the master, you better accept it." ”

Haili was buttoning down these two hats, Lin Ruofan was even more flustered, not knowing what to do, and hurriedly looked at her father-in-law, Hai Dashan.

Hai Dashan was also stunned by this huge gift, and subconsciously wanted to excuse himself, but suddenly heard Haili next to him coughing several times, stared at him with a calm face, hurriedly swallowed his words, and gave Meng Tianchu a deep salute in a trembling voice: "Thank you Master for your generous gift, thank you very much!" He turned to Lin Ruofan and said, "Pillar daughter-in-law, since Li Zheng said so, then let's respectfully accept it." ”

Lin Ruofan listened to his father-in-law's words, so he took back the silver and gave Meng Tianchu a gift: "Thank you, Master Meng!" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, walked to the middle of the mourning hall, took three pillars of incense from the incense table, lit them on the incense candle, made a pinch in his hand with the flat end, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner and made another pluck. Lin Ruofan hurriedly knelt beside the incense case and kowtowed and thanked him. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but feel distressed involuntarily.

Meng Tianchu hanged himself, and of course the rest of the people also gave gifts and incense.

After finishing his work, Hai Dashan welcomed Meng Tianchu and them to the wing room next to the hall.

The women in the kitchen knew that the criminal master of the county government was hanging, and they were arranged on the chairman of the wing, and hurriedly put the wine and food on it.

Meng Tianchu sat in the first place, Hai Dashan accompanied him in the main seat, Hai Lizheng, Murong Zhenxue, and Zhu Hao sat down in turn, Hai Li was about to call a few famous old people in the village to accompany Meng Tianchu to drink, but was stopped by Meng Tianchu, he was not in the mood to eat and drink nonsense now.

Still worried about the case in his heart, Meng Tianchu didn't drink, and after filling his stomach in a hurry, he saw that the others hadn't finished eating, so he hugged his shoulders and looked at Lin Ruofan who was kneeling in front of the hall of the mourning hall from a distance.

After the others finished eating in a hurry, Meng Tianchu said to Hai Dashan: "Old man, I have something to ask you, I hope you can answer truthfully." ”

When Hai Dashan heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous, and hurriedly bowed over and said with a smile: "Master, please ask, the old decay must report it truthfully." ”

"Well, this morning, Leper Four was drowned in the pond on the edge of the village where your son Haizhu drowned, do you know about this?"

"I know ......, the villain has heard about it."

"I have found out that it was Huang Shihu and the night crow and the leper head four who were drinking at the leper four's house, Huang Shihu and the leper head four had an argument for some reason, Huang Shihu violently shook the leper head four to cause his death, and then threw the leper head four into the pond and faked and drowned, and now Huang Shihu and the night crow have been arrested and brought to justice, and they confessed to the matter."

"Oh, I see, just one morning after this murder happened, the master successfully solved the case, it can really be said that the case is like a god! We have such a capable person as the master in our county, which is really a blessing for the grass people! ”

Haili was also nodding yes to the sidelines.

Meng Tianchu ignored their sycophants, looked at Hai Dashan, and said slowly: "Old man, do you know why this Huang Shihu and the Night Crow had a dispute with the Leper Four? ”

Hai Dashan listened to Meng Tianchu's words, and faintly felt that Meng Tianchu told him about the detection of this case, not to show off, but to have another purpose, and this purpose was likely to be related to himself, so he couldn't help but be even more nervous, and even the old man didn't dare to call it, and hurriedly said: "Villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

Meng Tianchu slowly leaned over and said, "Your son Haizhuzi, did you owe Huang Shihu and them a lot of money when he was alive?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, ......! ”

"Really? You don't report this old man truthfully, alas~! Meng Tianchu sighed slowly and continued, "Huang Shihu should have an IOU there, why don't we go and ask him together, how about taking a look?" Maybe it was forged by Huang Shihu. ”

Hai Dashan shuddered, and said with a smile: "Villain...... The villain can't remember clearly, there may be ......, as long as there is an IOU, it is true, and the villain does not dare to repay the debt. ”

"Old man, you misunderstood, I didn't ask for accounts for them, and besides, the land that Haizhu owes them is also some gambling debts, and gambling debts do not need to be repaid. Rest assured. ”

Hai Dashan was overjoyed, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, master!" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "However, among the deed of arrears that your son Haizhuzi called Huang Shihu, there is a deed that is very special, it is to use people to pay off the debt, I don't know if you know about it, old man?" ”

Although these words were said to Hai Dashan, Meng Tianchu's eyes kept staring at Lin Ruofan in the hall, only to see that after she heard this, her slender body was obviously shocked, and she glanced at them in a panic, and when she met Meng Tianchu's gaze, she suddenly turned sideways like a frightened rabbit, and the snow-white filial piety hat streamer on her head hung down for a long time, blocking her also snow-white face.

Seeing her expression, Meng Tianchu had already guessed this matter.

Hai Dashan hurriedly said: "No, no...... The villain doesn't know ......, these are all dog things, and the villain really doesn't know......"

"Hehe, no, according to what Huang Shihu and Night Crow said, your son Haizhuzi decided to use his daughter-in-law to pay off the debts to the three of them because he couldn't repay the debt, but your daughter-in-law refused to die. Is there such a thing? ”

Hai Dashan was obviously not mentally prepared for this question, and immediately panicked, peeking at his daughter-in-law Lin Ruofan in front of the spirit of the hall, and seeing that her body was also trembling slightly, she was even more at a loss.

Meng Tianchu said in a low voice: "The old man doesn't have to worry too much, I asked these things, just because there are some clues in the case that have not been clarified, so when I ask, I know that this involves the reputation of your son and daughter-in-law, and you have concerns, so just now I stopped you from calling others to accompany you to drink, which is also out of consideration for your confidentiality." After a pause, he said slowly and meaningfully, "Old man, I hope you can really answer this question truthfully, and don't conceal or deliberately distort it, otherwise, it will affect the county lord's judgment on this case, and it will not be good." ”

For ordinary people, moving the county lord out already has a sufficient deterrent effect. Hai Dashan really saw sweat on his forehead, trembling even more, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Yes...... There is such a thing...... alas! It's all because the dogs are not angry, and they made these ruffian friends, which caused this trouble! "What's going on, please tell the truth from the beginning."
