Chapter 59: See the Stone Again
It is difficult to walk by land from Renjiawan to Yinxian, and you need to walk along the river valley through the mountains to get on the road. The fishermen of Renjiawan www.biquge.info went out to take fishing boats, and Ren Siqi also took a small boat, went up along the coast, arrived at the mouth of the Yinjiang River, and then went up from the Yinjiang River to Yinxian County.
After getting off the boat at the dock, Ren Siqi took everyone into Yinxian County, the county seat is still the same, the people come in and out from the city gate, and the two old soldiers who watch the city gate lean on the city gate and take a nap, and they don't look at the people who come and go.
Although the scenery is the same, it is no longer human!
Ren Siqi deliberately led a few people to the county government to take a turn, and the eight-character wall of the county government was indeed posted with a notice of wanting himself and Mao Shibai and others, and I don't know who drew the image, Ren Siqi couldn't find a place like himself from the image.
Now Ren Siqi is dressed as a fisherman, and he is no longer the showman of the original long shirt and lupine fan, and his tanned face has not lost the look of a jade swinger in the past, even if he walks on the street, most of his former acquaintances can't recognize him, but no one will find out his identity as a fugitive.
In the Wanfu Inn near the county government, several people stayed, and the five of them opened three rooms, Ren Siqi lived in a single room by himself, Xiong Er and Jin Yufei lived in one, and Ren Xingfan and Ren Dongming lived in one.
The pampered life in the past made Ren Siqi reluctant to share a room with others, there was no way to be on the boat, and now that he has the conditions, he naturally can't treat himself badly.
Ren Siqi often thinks about who framed him, and the result of inference has found several suspects, the first object is the two Xiucai classmates who drank with him that night, Gao Liqun, Gao Xiucai, and Ma Mingqi Ma Xiucai, although I don't know why they framed themselves, but the timing of their appearance made Ren Siqi have to doubt them.
Another person Ren Siqi suspects is his former father-in-law Zhang Jingxian, because he has the most motive for framing himself, that is, to withdraw from the marriage contract with him. This would also explain why he broke his promise and refused to save himself. was originally framed by him, and he will definitely not save himself again, the most hateful thing is to force himself to agree to withdraw from the marriage on the condition of saving himself, so that his daughter can justifiably marry others!
Who is the murderer among them? Ren Siqi couldn't be sure, so he could only check it slowly. After lunch, Ren Siqi took a few people to the door of the suspect's house one by one, sent Ren Xingfan to monitor Gao Liqun's Gao Xiucai's house, sent Jin Yufei to monitor Ma Xiucai's house, and he took Xiong Er and Ren Dongming to Zhang's house.
There was a tea shop opposite Zhang's house, so Ren Siqi took the two of them to the tea shop, ordered a few cups of tea and some snacks, and began to monitor the movements on the opposite side.
The Zhang family is a well-known gentry in Yin County, with more than 200 acres of mulberry forests outside the county, more than 100 looms, and two shops in the city. It is one of the most prestigious families in the whole Yinxian County, and there have been a lot of high-ranking officials for generations, Zhang Jingxian's grandfather has produced a third-class jinshi, Zhang Jingxian's father is a lifter, and although Zhang Jingxian only shows his talent and fame, he can also be regarded as a scholar, Zhang Jingxian has a nephew named Zhang Huangyan is a famous talent in Yinxian County, and he has just been admitted to the examination this year.
Ren Siqi's father is only a household secretary in Yinxian County, and the main reason why he can marry the Zhang family is because Ren Siqi is rarely talented, and he was selected for the show at the age of fifteen.
Just when Ren Siqi was drinking tea and thinking about his thoughts, a young man in linen clothes came in from outside, and he was stunned when he saw Ren Siqi, and soon his lips trembled, and he was about to shout out subconsciously but closed his mouth, Ren Siqi was thinking about his thoughts but didn't see him.
The young man endured the mood of talking with Ren Siqi, sent a few bags of tea in his hand inside, and after handing over the money to the shopkeeper of the teahouse, he quickly came to Ren Siqi's side and sat down.
"Young Master, yes, is that you?" The young man's lips trembled and he asked in a low voice.
"Stone!" Ren Siqi turned his face and was stunned, sitting next to him turned out to be his former scholar, Xiaoshi.
"It's really you, young master." When the stone said this, tears were about to come out.
"Stop, don't let anyone see it." Ren Siqi hurriedly said that his current identity is still a fugitive, so naturally he can't let people discover his true identity.
"You two are staring here." Ren Siqi instructed Xiong Er and Ren Dongming.
"Come, let's find a secluded place to talk." Ren Siqi said and pulled the small stone and walked outside.
Finding a secluded corner, the two stopped.
"Young master, you are much darker and thinner." The stone looked at Ren Siqi sadly.
"Alas, in the past two months, your young master and I have suffered from old sins." Ren Siqi sighed, Shi grew up with him since he was a child, he was his closest person, and there was nothing to hide, so he briefly said about going to sea after escaping from prison, "Lord came back this time to take revenge, and secondly, to wash away grievances." ”
Shi nodded vigorously: "I know that you are wronged, young master, how can you kill someone?" ”
"How are you doing?" Ren Siqi looked at the linen clothes on the stone's body, this young man was much thinner than before.
"I worked as a buddy in a tea shop, didn't I learn a lot of words from the young master, the shopkeeper took me in when he saw that I was literate, and I was not tired of work, just doing some errands." The stone doesn't care about the way. He is an orphan, when he was five or six years old, he was bought by Ren Siqi's father from human traffickers to be a scholar for Ren Siqi, so Ren's family is his home, after Ren Siqi was arrested, his home was gone, and he had no choice but to think of supporting himself.
"Tell me about what happened in Yinxian after I escaped from prison." Ren Siqi said, with the stone here, it was much easier for him to inquire about things.
"Well, young master, after you escaped, soon the county master was dismissed, and then a new county master came, this county master is more greedy than the previous one, I heard that he received a lot of silver as soon as he took office."
"There is also Master Zhang's family, bah, it is their family surnamed Zhang who divorced you, there is a nephew named Zhang Huangyan who has been lifted, and the Zhang family has set up a flowing water table for several days, and the beggars in the county are very happy."
Zhang Huang hit the mark! The thin and handsome figure flashed in Ren Siqi's mind, Zhang Huang said Zhang Cangshui, he used to be commensurate with Ren Siqi's brothers, Ren Siqi and Zhang Pujia got engaged and the relationship between the two was even closer, but now he has become a fugitive from prison, and Brother Cangshui has been moved, I am afraid that the two will be strangers when they meet again, this fate is so tricky!
