Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised.

Less than a year after her death, this woman was not dressed as a survivor.

"My sister-in-law said that her husband had passed away, but when we came here just now, the doorman said that the master was not there." The teenager raised doubts.

The woman's eyes wept: "My mother-in-law is very old and has been sick for a long time, and I am afraid that her old man will be stimulated, so I hid the news of my master's death." ”

"Outsiders don't seem to know the news of Zunfu's death."

The woman pursed the corners of her lips and smiled bitterly at Lu Xuan: "Don't hide it, my lord and I only have one daughter, and now I am only ten years old." If the people in my hometown learn the news of my lord's death, my mother-in-law can't stand it, and my mother and daughter are afraid that they will be devoured alive by those lives......"

This is the way of the world, if the man who is the pillar of the pillar leaves early, the orphan and widow will be sad. It is slightly better to leave a son, if it is a daughter, it is difficult to keep the family property than to ascend to the sky.

"The lord is a businessman, running between the capital and the south, and he is always away from the capital for most of the year, and he rarely goes back to his hometown, which also makes it convenient for the little woman to hide the news of the master's death." As she spoke, she took a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to keep it hidden?"

The woman laughed miserably: "I have to wait until I have been supporting my mother-in-law for a hundred years and my daughter is successfully married, and then I will release the news." ”

"Isn't there an outsider who knows about the death of the honored husband?"

The woman hesitated.

Lu Xuan didn't urge, and waited quietly for her to speak.

After a while, the woman said, "My lord has a good friend, and he brought back the news of his death at that time, so he knows about it." ”

"Tell me about the cause of Zunfu's death and the identity of that friend."

The woman said with tears in her eyes: "My lord met Xiangma on the way back to Beijing from the south last year, and was killed by those gangsters. His friend's name is Wang Jing, who is also a businessman, and sometimes goes south with the master. ”

"This Wang Jing is currently in the capital?"

"It should be there." The woman nodded, "He came to visit us the other day. ”

As if she was worried about causing trouble for Wang Jing, and afraid that the adults in front of her would doubt her innocence, the woman hesitated and said, "My lord, Wang Jing has a good relationship with our master, and he has taken care of our orphans and widows after the master leaves, he is a good person——"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't wronged a good person, please tell me Wang Jing's address."

The woman said an address, and Lu Xuan got up: "I'm sorry to disturb my sister-in-law today, we won't spread the news of her husband's death casually." ”

"Thank you, sir." The woman hurriedly got up to see her off.

"Sister-in-law stays." Lu Xuan said politely, raised his feet and walked out.

Whether what the woman said is true or not, naturally we have to check, and what we need to do now is to meet that Wang Jing.

Lu Xuancai walked to the door of the hall, and a girl ran in: "Mother-"

Seeing Lu Xuan and the others, the girl suddenly stopped and looked at her mother at a loss.

The woman hurriedly pulled the girl and said, "So old or so frizzy, what should I do if I offend the nobles?" ”

The woman dragged the girl to Lu Xuan to make amends.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so nervous." Lu Xuan said a gentle reassuring voice and continued to walk out.

The girl's aggrieved voice came from behind her: "Mother, I bought a birthday gift that my grandmother would like, so I told you in a hurry." ”

"It can't be without the appearance of a girl's house." The woman touched her daughter's head.

Lu Xuan paused, turned around and turned back.

"Your Excellency?" The woman was nervous and surprised, not understanding why the young adult had returned, and could not help but hold her daughter's hand.

Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the girl's face and asked the woman, "Is the old lady's birthday coming?" ”

The woman was even more surprised, and wondered why she had asked this.

Seeing the young man's serious expression, she nodded: "Yes, my mother-in-law's birthday is coming soon, and I was still talking about why the old man didn't come back yesterday." ”

"In the past, on the old lady's birthday, would the honored husband be in the capital?"

"Of course, no matter how busy my lord is, he will accompany his mother-in-law at this time of year."

Lu Xuan's expression became more and more serious: "What is the old lady's birthday?" ”

Confused, the woman quickly replied, "In two days." ”

Two days later, it was the second day of the fifth month.

Lu Xuan's face sank completely.

Three years ago, on the second day of the fifth month, it was the day when the county lord of Yingyue disappeared!

And what did she say when she interrogated Caiyun?

She said that Master Zhu came over that day and asked her to act, so she sent Yingying to deliver a letter to Tao Ming.

Needless to say, Tao Ming provoked Yang Wen with that difficult problem, Yang Wen went to ask Du Shanchang for teaching, and Du Shanchang let his daughter play in the academy.

Then the county lord of Yingyue disappeared, and after three years, there was finally news, but he was already a white bone.

Since the second day of the fifth month is Zhu Chengye's mother's birthday, Zhu Chengye will be by his mother's side, how can he go to Jinshui River to see Caiyun?

Lu Xuan's eyes were heavy, and he sneered in his heart.

It is very clear at this point, either the woman in front of her is lying, or Caiyun is lying, and with a little speculation, you will know who is lying.

The Zhu family has not been in the capital for a year or two, and the old lady has always heard of it in the neighborhood, and even came to be a guest, so when the old lady's birthday is, you can know if you inquire about it, and the woman is asking for trouble if she tells this kind of lie.

It's Caiyun who lies!

Lu Xuan thought that Caiyun was collapsed and frightened, and he was a little admired.

Who would have thought that a flower girl who seemed to have been completely defeated would still be lying at that time.

It's a pity that his luck is a little worse, and it seems to be a foolproof lie, but the day he did it was the same day as Zhu Chengye's mother's birthday.

No, it shouldn't be said that it was bad luck, but that Skynet was restored.

"Then I know, thank you sister-in-law for telling me."

Lu Xuan strode away from the Zhu family, did not rush to interrogate Caiyun, but still found Wang Jing's family as he had planned before.

"The master is not at home." The servant who opened the door replied.

"Where?" Lu Xuan was too lazy to waste time and reveal his identity.

The identity of the criminal department is still very effective, and the servant immediately said it honestly.

It turned out that Wang Jing went to the Jinshui River.

The young man looked at the white clouds and sighed lightly.

It looks like I'm going to the Jinshui River again.

I asked a few painting boats that Wang Jing often visits, and it is not surprising that Yun Yu Xiaozhu is among them.

Lu Xuan rushed to Jinshui River with Laixi without delay, and finally found Wang Jing in a painting boat called Jufanglou.

"Who are you?" Wang Jing didn't go home at all last night, and he can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Jinshui River.

Lu Xuan flashed his waist card, and when the other party's expression changed suddenly, he asked lightly: "Do you want to talk here, or go back to the yamen with me?" ”

"Talk here, talk here." Wang Jing bowed his head and lowered his posture.

He made some money in this kind of businessman, but in front of the officials and masters, he didn't dare to come out.

"Are you friends with Zhu Chengye?"
