Chapter 70: The Visit

Two days later, on a sunny morning, two horse-drawn carriages sped along a country road in Penghu County, and pedestrians flashed to the side of the road. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly

In a carriage in front, Li Yuntian, who was dressed in a blue shirt, leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and opposite him sat Zhou Yuting and Xue'er, who were wearing white shirts and dressing as men.

Xue'er is the red-clothed girl next to Zhou Yuting, who grew up with Zhou Yuting since she was a child, although the two are called master servants, they are actually like sisters.

Compared with the simple Zhou Yuting, Xue'er is much smarter, and when something happens, she basically gives Zhou Yuting ideas.

This time he went to Pengze County to assist Qian Cheng in investigating the case, and Li Yuntian deliberately took Zhou Yuting out to relax, which also opened her eyes and gave her a long insight.

As soon as Zhou Yuting heard that she was going to Pengze County to investigate the case, she immediately became interested, and without saying a word, she followed Li Yuntian with great interest to board the boat to Pengze County at the dock of Baishui Town.

After getting off the boat, the group took two carriages and went straight to Zhaojiabao.

"Brother Yuntian, why should we go to Zhaojiabao instead of going directly to the county government to interrogate those suspects." Zhou Yuting saw Li Yuntian's casual look, as if she didn't take this investigation to heart at all, and held it back in her heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"If the information provided by those suspects in the county government is useful, then Qian Zhixian will not have such a headache." Li Yuntian opened his eyes when he heard this, and smiled at the suspicious Zhou Yuting, "Let's go through the scene of the crime again, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”

Zhou Yuting nodded, understanding what Li Yuntian meant, it turned out that Li Yuntian was going to Zhaojiabao to find some clues that Qian Zhixian had not found.

There was a river in front of Zhaojiabao, and it was necessary to take a ferry to get to Guò, and the two carriages had to stop after reaching the river, and Li Yuntian helped Zhou Yuting and Xue'er down from the carriage very gentlemanly.

There were four big men sitting in a carriage in the back, except for Luo Ming and a official from Hukou County, the other two were all guards of the Houye Mansion.

There was a ferry boat parked at the ferry, and the boatman was a burly and sturdy young man, with a thoughtful face and an honest face, and after Li Yuntian and his party got on the ferry, they rocked the ferry and sailed to the other side of the river.

Li Yuntian stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, blowing the refreshing river breeze, and his blue shirt moved with the wind, looking handsome and elegant.

"That Miss Zhao really won't be the White Tiger Star, right?" Zhou Yuting stood beside Li Yuntian, looked at Zhaojiabao on the other side, suddenly felt a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice.

"The theory of strange forces and gods is just people's speculation in desperation." Li Yuntian didn't expect that Zhou Yuting, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, would also believe the rumors about Zhao Yan, and said to her with a smile.

Zhou Yuting's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, no matter how she said that she was also a girl, coupled with limited knowledge, she was naturally not as bold as Li Yuntian when facing those ethereal rumors.

On the other side, there were some big girls and little daughters-in-law who were washing clothes by the river, and when they saw the two, they couldn't help but laugh and point at the two of them.

"I didn't expect my son to have such a great charm and be so likable to women." Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw this, glanced at the woman on the other side of the river, and said to Zhou Yuting with a smile.

"Phew, don't be stinky and beautiful, they look at Miss Ben, just like you, give it to them for nothing, they don't want it." Seeing Li Yuntian showing off to himself, Zhou Yuting couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Actually, they are all vulgar fans, where can they compare with our Miss Zhou." Li Yuntian found that Zhou Yuting's words were full of vinegar, and smiled and reached out to scrape the tip of her nose, and her movements were extremely intimate.

Seeing this, the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the other side laughed even louder, chattering about the relationship between the two big men.

"I hate it." Zhou Yuting was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to make such an intimate action in public, and then her cheeks turned red, and she stomped her feet and got into the cabin.

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help revealing a smug look, in fact, his future wife was also very comfortable.

On the other side, Li Yuntian did not go to Zhao's house to find Zhao Yan to understand the case, but asked Luo Ming to inquire about the home of Li Qing's classmate and friend Hu Hao in Zhaojiabao.

The Jiangnan area is full of literary styles, Li Qing and Hu Hao are both studying in the academy in the county, they are best friends, Li Qing met Zhao Yan when he came to Zhaojiabao to find Hu Hao, fell in love with him at first sight, and asked the family to propose to the Zhao family.

The two families are both big families in Pengze County, and the two are a good match, so the marriage was quickly decided.

No one thought that what was originally a happy and happy event would turn into a funeral event in the end.

Since Li Qing died strangely and had an inextricable relationship with Zhao Yan, Li Yuntian decided to start from the subtleties to understand what happened between the two from acquaintance to marriage.

After coming to the door of a more magnificent house, Luo Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door, this is the Hu family.

The Hu family runs a restaurant in Zhaojiabao, and the family background is quite superior, otherwise they would not send Hu Hao to study in the academy in the county seat, and there is a lot of cost in a year, and the children of ordinary people can't afford to study at all.

"Who are you looking for?" After a while, the door opened, and a young man who looked like a subordinate glanced at Li Yuntian and the others standing at the door, and asked suspiciously.

"We are from the county government, and we will ask your son-in-law to learn about the situation related to Li Qing's case." Luo Ming took off the waist card of the head of his Hukou County station from his waist and shook it at the subordinate, and said quietly.

The waist cards of the county government officials are all standard, and they are exactly the same from the appearance, only the words indicating their identity on it are different, Luo Ming just shook it like this, and the subordinate didn't see what was written on it at all.

And even if he saw it clearly, it would be useless, because he was simply illiterate and did not know what those words meant.

Knowing that the other party was from the county government, the subordinate hurriedly invited Li Yuntian, Zhou Yuting and others in, and then hurriedly reported to Hu Hao's father, Master Hu.

Master Hu was drinking tea in the backyard, and when he heard that the county government had sent someone to check, he hurriedly came to the living room in the front yard to greet him.

Because of Li Qing's case, Master Hu has been running to the county government office for most of the past six months, and he knows the people in the yamen very well, and he has never seen anyone who came to investigate the case this time.

He was sure that Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting, who were sitting side by side in the chairs, were extraordinary, and they didn't look like the county officials' errands at all.

Even the few followers standing behind him are all full of style, and they look more magnificent than Qian Zhixian of the county government.

"A few messengers came this time, I don't know why?" Although Master Hu was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and smiled and offered his hand to Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting, it was obvious that these two were the masters.

"Boss Hu, I came here this time to ask Mr. Hu some facts about Li Qing's case." Li Yuntian didn't get up either, he sat there and smiled and arched his hand to Master Hu.

"Come on, let the young master come over." Seeing this, Master Hu was already sure in his heart that Li Yuntian was from the government and had an official body.

Because according to the rules of the imperial court, people with official status do not need to return the salute to Bai Ding, otherwise they will lose the prestige of the official government, and Li Yuntian can give him a hand, which can be regarded as giving him enough face.

Soon, a haggard young man entered the living room, he was Hu Hao, since Li Qing's accident, he fell into deep self-blame, if Li Qing hadn't come to Zhaojiabao to see him, he wouldn't have met Zhao Yan, and then he wouldn't have died so inexplicably.

After Hu Hao came, Master Hu led his subordinates to leave and avoided them, so as not to delay Li Yuntian's investigation of the case.

"Hu Gongzi, as Li Qing's friend, you should know about the matter between him and Zhao Yan, please tell him as it is." After Master Hu and his subordinates retreated, Li Yuntian motioned for Hu Hao to sit down, and asked with a smile.

"Well, if he hadn't come to see me that day, what would have happened later." Hu Hao sighed, and told the ins and outs of the matter with a gloomy expression.

One morning more than half a year ago, Li Qing came to Zhaojiabao from Lijiazhuang to visit Hu Hao, and met Zhao Yan who was about to travel at the ferry.

Zhao Yan smiled at him at the ferry, which made him stunned Zhao Yan as a celestial, intoxicated, and unable to extricate himself.

After inquiring about Zhao Yan's situation from Hu Hao, Li Qing immediately went home and asked his family to propose, the two families were right, and the Zhao family naturally had no reason to object, so they quickly agreed to this family affair and chose an auspicious day to get married.

Who would have thought that Li Qing would jump into the river like crazy the day after marriage, causing such a big storm in Pengze County.

"In this way, Li Qing and Zhao Yan only met once before they got married?" After listening to Hu Hao's story, Li Yuntian asked in a deep voice.

Hu Hao nodded when he heard this, according to the rules, the man and the woman cannot meet before getting married.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuting's cheeks couldn't help but redden, she not only came to Hukou County to see Li Yuntian, but also lived with Chen Ningning, which was definitely an amazing move.

"Did anything unexpected happen before the two got married?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked.

"Something unexpected?" Hu Hao thought for a while and said, "Since the two got engaged, there have been rumors in the market that Zhao Yan is a white tiger star, and whoever marries her will kill her, but at that time, everyone thought it was nonsense, and no one cared. ”

"Do you know where it came from?" Li Yuntian's eyes lit up and asked.

"It's not clear." Hu Hao shook his head, which made Li Yuntian feel a little disappointed.

After asking Hu Hao some more questions, Li Yuntian didn't have any big gains, so he got up to say goodbye and left the Hu family.

"Dad, I don't think he's like an errand officer of the county government!" At the gate of the courtyard, looking at Li Yuntian's distant back, Hu Hao said to Boss Hu suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he can find out Li Qing's case." Boss Hu shook his head, he suspected that Li Yuntian and the others had come down from the government.
