The little scholar and the master's surname are Xu, Mingzhao, he insisted that Xiaoyun went to Yangzhou to find his aunt, but Xiaoyun's father denied it, and when the two were about to quarrel, Yan Zhutou hesitated: "Auntie...... Aunt? Could it be that it is not a pro-aunt, but a woman who sells rouge gouache, embroidered purses, fortune tellers and other women who walk through the streets and alleys, sell rouge gouache, embroidery purses, fortune tellers and cheat money? ”

Xu Zhao opened his mouth and said: "There are indeed women I don't know in the house, but I am serving the master, and I really don't know about the affairs of those women in the backyard." ”

Duan Fei and Yan Zhutou returned to the cell and asked Xiaomei Xiaoju, the two of them saw that the master couldn't shelter themselves, they were already scared in their hearts, they answered if they asked, they were very cooperative, they casually counted more than ten names, all of them were often in the inner courtyard of the back house of the three aunts and six women, these people have no fixed place, wander around and sell goods, and there is no exact name, what Wang Sangu, Li Erniang, it is almost impossible to find them one by one, fortunately, Xiaomei and Xiaoju have a good memory, under their memories, Wang Sangu, Li Erniang, The three names of Hou Ma gradually surfaced.

Wang Sangu, Li Erniang, and Hou Ma have been walking around in Xufu recently, among which Wang Sangu is an embroidery girl, selling some embroidery objects, and teaching the ladies and ladies to learn embroidery, Li Erniang is a selling woman, specializing in picking some women's private goods to sell in the backyard of the official mansion, but the waiting mother is a 'medical woman', as the name suggests, she knows some medical skills, and specializes in treating some minor illnesses and pains for women of all sizes.

Most of the women in these backhouses are rare to go out once, and the women and embroiderers are convenient for them at the same time, but they bring great hidden dangers to the backyards of these high-door mansions. If you listen to the words of the three aunts in the boudoir, Zhenlie can be called bad! ”

The three aunts and six mothers-in-law are well-informed, often go in and out of everyone's boudoir, reveal information about the outside world to the boudoir women, or subtly influence the boudoir women with their words and deeds, so that they are full of curiosity and longing for the outside world, they will not be willing to live a boring life in the boudoir, and do behaviors that are not allowed by today's etiquette.

Xiaoyun is an example, she longs for the outside world, but she is still hesitating, until she is wrongfully kicked out of the Xu family, she has no choice, a woman who speaks of the outside world is extremely beautiful has become her only reliance, who is Xiaoyun's "aunt" who is currently selected by the elimination method?

Everyone got together and discussed.

Yan Zhutou first spoke: "I think it should be Wang Sangu, there is a girl in her nickname, besides, she is an embroidery girl, under the pretext of teaching people to embroider, she can stay in the back house for half a day, and the other two are not so convenient, if she encourages Xiaoyun to go to the city to do some needlework for big families, this possibility should be relatively large." ”

Duan Fei looked at Shi Bin and Guo Wei, the two hesitated for a moment, and were about to speak, Duan Fei said: "Say what you really think, don't be perfunctory, and you don't need to be like this to please Yan Zhutou, your opinions make the case solved smoothly, and Yan Zhutou will be happier." ”

Yan Zhutou nodded yes, and Guo Wei said: "I think what Yan Zhutou said is good, but the waiting mother is not small, and I can't say why I suspect her." ”

Shi Bin said with Duan Fei's encouragement: "I also suspect that the medical woman, listening to the words of those two maids just now, this medical woman has been in and out of Lord Xu's mansion too often recently, is it possible that the female relatives of Lord Xu's family have been suffering so much recently?" ”

The other catchers all picked one at random, and there were no constructive opinions, and finally everyone looked at Duan Fei, Duan Fei concluded: "Everyone said very well, I also think that Wang Sangu and Hou Ma are the most suspicious, of course, the suspicion of selling her mother-in-law Li Erniang is not small, these three people should be investigated at the same time, the focus is Wang Sangu and Hou Ma, now everyone goes to work, the concierge and housekeeper of the big families in the county are the main objects of the visit, of course, who has a good girl in the hook column may as well ask, Those places are also the favorite places for the three aunts and six mothers-in-law to visit. ”

Duan Fei assigned tasks, and strictly arrested the head and assigned personnel, among which Duan Fei, Guo Wei, and Shi Bin were divided into a group, and everyone remembered the appearance and characteristics of the three mothers-in-law, and went to inquire everywhere.

After leaving the yamen, Shi Bin whispered to Duan Fei: "Brother Fei, Yan Zhutou seems to be a little unhappy, otherwise he wouldn't have left you with him." ”

Guo Wei also said: "We shouldn't have said those words just now, just look at the place where Yan Zhutou assigned us, alas, ......"

Duan Fei said with a smile: "You have too many hearts, how can Yan Zhutou have such a small belly as you, he actually assigned us the best direction, Dongcheng is our territory!" ”

Dongcheng is indeed Ah Feige's territory, but it is almost a slum area, and only a few rich families live here, including Li Shancai, who was ruthlessly rectified by Duan Fei once.

Li Fu, who was basking in the sun in the yard, saw Duan Fei and the three of them coming menacingly, and immediately jumped into the door and asked someone to close the door, Duan Fei shouted from afar: "Don't close it, lest I have to smash the door open later!" ”

Li Fu walked out with a smile and asked, "Hello to the three poor masters, I am dizzy, I really didn't see the three just now, I don't know why the three poor masters came again?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Nonsense, of course I came here to investigate the case, but this time there is no need to alarm Li Dashanren, I said Li Fu, you should know very well the people who come in and out of this Li house, right?" ”

Li Fu said cautiously: "I roughly know." ”

Guo Wei shouted: "Then have you heard of the three names of Wang Sangu, Hou Ma, and Li Erniang?" ”

Li Fu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied: "It's a little familiar to hear the name, isn't it that they have committed something?" ”

Duan Fei said: "You don't need to inquire about this, you know if you know, you don't know, if you don't know, you don't know, look at your expression, could it be that Li Erniang is your relative?" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Fu shook his head like a rattle, and said: "I don't know much about these women's families, and I don't know much about their entry and exit from the backyard, but my mother-in-law at home is quite familiar with them, so I'll go and call her, and the three masters will come to the concierge for a while, have a cup of tea, and I'll come when I go." ”

Li Fu called someone to serve tea, and left in a hurry, Shi Bin snorted and said, "This old dog has learned to be well-behaved, I still want to slap him again, but I didn't find a chance." ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "This kind of person knows the wind and the rudder the most, if it wasn't for the last time he was treated well, how could he be so honest." ”

After a while, Li Fu came in with a middle-aged woman and introduced: "This is my mother-in-law, known as Aunt Li...... You stupid woman, haven't you seen the three bad masters soon! ”

The woman was also very shrewd, and after greeting the three of them, she quickly said without waiting for inquiries, "Do the three adults want to know about the three of them?" You are asking the right person, then Li Erniang calls me eldest sister, she is my godsister, and I am also very familiar with Wang Sangu and Hou Ma, I don't know what the three adults want to know? ”

Duan Fei coughed lightly and said, "What are their real names?" Where are you from? Where to stay? In addition to walking the streets and alleys to sell things and cure diseases, what else do you do to make a living? You give me an honest one by one, since you know each other so well, you won't know what they are doing behind their backs, right? If you dare to hide it and not report it, this is a life-threatening case...... Hey hey ......"

Aunt Li was not afraid, she replied with a smile: "Yes, my lord, the slave family will tell the truth without a word of lie, Wang Sangu's real name is Wang Qihui, a native of Shanxi, and she is currently living in the alley of Zhu's family in Baoying West City. But she can also get a lot of money from the ladies and wives, and then sell some groceries, and mix food and clothing effortlessly, and there is no need to do illegal things, she has no fixed residence, she walks around to sell goods, and usually lives in the homes of acquaintances, and now she ...... She's right outside the door......"
