Chapter 59, Two Men in the Way (II)
"If I can help, I will do my best, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to help you find your sister, and now that she has been missing for two days, you and your family had better be prepared." After a while, Shen Mu finally gave this Li Hanzhang a positive response.
Speaking of which, this Miss Li originally had little to do with the Shen family, it was because the original owner had a crush on the other party, and when Shen's father met the other party and was kidnapped, he planted him in for the sake of righteousness.
Now, he can't refuse Li Hanzhang's request, because, at this moment, he thought of Shen Ying, the little sister of the Shen family, who has a very eccentric temperament.
Even if he lacks the opportunity to communicate with this sister, if Shen Ying encounters any danger one day, his psychology at that time is probably the same as Li Hanzhang at this time.
Therefore, he has some pity for Li Hanzhang at the moment.
No one wants to lose their loved ones inexplicably, just like in his previous life, his parents sent him out to school in the morning, but in the evening he received bad news.
And Miss Li's disappearance was intertwined in the whole incident, and his promise to Li Hanzhang was just taking advantage of the situation.
On the Mei family's Zhuangzi, those officials searched all over the village, but found no trace of Miss Li, nor did they see any suspicious places to bury the body.
He guessed that this Miss Li might not be dead, but was taken away by the person who stayed in the Buddhist hall when she left.
The other party is so cunning, and the information he has is limited, he doesn't even know, even if he can find the trace of the person who slipped away from the Buddha Hall in the future, will the other party think that bringing a woman is a burden and get rid of Miss Li directly?
But he can't say this to Li Hanzhang now, he can only hint that Li Hanzhang should not have too much hope.
However, before the final result comes out, at least Li Hanzhang and his family can still have hope.
"Thank you!" After Li Hanzhang got the answer he wanted, he gave Shen Mu a long look, and only when Shen Mu turned around and continued to move forward, he straightened his waist.
Shen Mu continued to move forward and headed towards the post house in Taiping County.
As he passed a street crossing, he was blocked by a teenager.
This young man is not very old, he looks about the same age as him, his body should not be fully grown, his eyebrows are clear, he is holding two books in his hands, and he is wearing a royal blue robe that is neither new nor old, and his whole person is becoming more and more handsome.
In all fairness, this scholar's temperament is the kind of person who can be seen at first sight in a crowd.
He guessed the identity of the other party and the intention of blocking his way.
The other party didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.
Even if he already had some guesses about the identity of the other party.
"I quarreled with Brother Shen two days ago, and my tone was not good, so please don't take Brother Shen to heart." His scholarly tone was a little rough.
As soon as I heard it, I was in a period of voice change.
As soon as the other party spoke, Shen Mu immediately determined the identity of the other party, Qin Jue Qin Jinyu, who is also another celebrity in Taiping County, was admitted to Qin Jue and Qin Jinyu, who were the first of the Xiucai test at the age of forty today.
The original owner stumbled a few words with this Qin Jinyu that day, and when he went home, he was denied the opportunity to study by Father Shen, so he went to the woods, but as a result, he hung up in a daze, so he was allowed to wear it.
Before he saw Qin Jinyu, he only felt that this person belonged to the kind of academic bully of other people's children, and after seeing the other party, he realized that reading can indeed cultivate a person's temperament.
Although the death of the original owner has something to do with this Qin Jinyu, it doesn't seem appropriate to completely anger the other party.
This made him look at this person at the moment with some mixed feelings.
Moreover, he didn't want people like Qin Jinyu to notice the difference between him and the original owner, so he just said coldly: "What if I have a heart? ”
"I apologize." When Qin Jinyu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she said very sincerely.
"You didn't come to me to apologize, did you?"
"I heard that you have been busy with your father's case for the past few days?"
"Huh?"
"What about Miss Li?" Qin Jinyu only said these four words, and then didn't say any more.
"She's missing, everybody knows about it." Shen Mu picked up the other party's words.
"I thought that if I won this time, I would come to the door to propose." Qin Jinyu said with a sad expression.
"And now? If Miss Li is found, will you still go to propose? At this moment, Shen Mu suddenly thought of the question that Shen's mother asked him last night.
The reason why the original owner and this Qin Jue and Qin Jinyu quarreled was probably because the two of them fell in love with the missing Miss Li at the same time.
Now, he also wants to know, what will be this Qin Jue's choice?
Qin Jue was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Seeing this, Shen Mu sneered: "It turns out that your likes are so cheap!" ”
"I am all the spiritual pillars of my mother, although I won the first place in the county test this time, in the eyes of my mother, this is far from enough, my mother does not want to be distracted by my children's private affairs, so I should not allow this marriage, originally, I thought that in another two years, after the autumn, I can talk to my mother again, who knows that Miss Li will have an accident.
Now, I don't know if Miss Li is alive or dead, I just want to ask Brother Shen about it, but there is any news or clues about Miss Li. Even if I can't marry her again, I still hope that she will live safely. ”
Qin Jinyu lowered her head, didn't dare to look directly into Shen Mu's eyes, and said in a low voice.
Shen Mu didn't say anything sneering this time, because he didn't make the same choice as this Qin Jinyu.
He is not the original owner, and he only has a good impression of Miss Li, but it is not enough for him to achieve an affectionate name for the original owner.
At this point, he is really not qualified to sarcastically mock Qin Jinyu, no one is more noble than anyone else.
Even if I don't know what Qin Jinyu's family background is, judging from the occasional twisted brows of this young man, the scholar is not so easy to be, especially Qin Jinyu also said that Qin's mother's various expectations for him show that this Qin Jinyu also has no autonomy in marriage.
This scholar is not as arrogant and invincible as he guessed at the beginning.
However, they are not all the way after all, and there should be few opportunities to meet in the future, this Qin Jue and Qin Jinyu may have to take a road that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty often walked.
If it goes well, I will go all the way to the exam, the exam, and the palace exam, until the title of the gold list, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, or be released, starting from the petty officials of the seventh or eighth grades.
A few decades later, if you are lucky and have enough IQ, you may become a feudal official, or rank in the court, and become a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
Yes! He seems to be thinking too far, instead of thinking about this, he should think about whether this Qin Jue and Qin Jinyu can be a good official and a clean official in the future.
If not, his system of punishing corrupt officials is just waiting!
