Chapter 30 The news is a pot of porridge
There aren't many people here, but the patrol is very diligent, think about it, it's a gambling house and a brothel here, and it is estimated that there are many troublemakers. There's nothing left to think about. As I continued to go, I heard a little news:
Passerby A: "Have you gone to see it, Jiang Zhutou is gone, and now you are not allowed to enter, I heard that the one who died was Uncle Qian, and his face was flattened and his tongue was pulled, it was too scary." ”
Passerby B: "That's it, I heard from the person who followed up before that not only was his tongue pulled, but his back was also cut off, and his intestines came out, which was too miserable!" ”
Passerby C: "I went to the crack in the door to see, my whole body was black and purple, and the yamen said that he was poisoned, and then his tongue was pulled out, what a big hatred this is." ”
Passer-by: "You are all wrong, I heard that I was beaten to death by the Ruyi Gambling House, a few days ago I lost my eyes and blocked the family's foundation, and now I regret it and went to smash the gambling house, and I died." ”
……
Si Xi sighed, no matter when this talent is hilarious, it is hidden in his bones, plus gossip to spread the news. But no matter how outrageous the rumors are, there is always a fact, that is, the death of the man named Uncle Qian seems to have died very miserably, according to rumors, there are three causes of death: first, the corpse is destroyed after poisoning; second, strangulation and then destruction of corpses; The three were directly killed, and the corpse was also broken. But since there is a fatality, Si Xi doesn't plan to wander around here, in case he is considered a suspect, it will not be good.
Returned to the place where Wen Yuan was squatting, and found that Wen Yuan had moved the place, and now he was shrinking on the corner of the street and napping, there was a big steamed bun and half a bun in the bowl in front of him, and after waking up Wen Yuan, he took out a cloth bag from behind him like a treasure, well, Si Xi felt a little familiar, isn't this the rag that wrapped the rice ball before, opened the cloth bag, there were actually 2 buns and a steamed bun inside, and then looked at Si Xi with a happy face, and his face was clearly written Hurry up and praise me.
Si Xi touched his head, "You performed very well today." ”
"Thank you, fourth brother, it's the fourth brother who taught me well, the fourth brother made a move in someone's house for 2 days, and I just had a few steamed buns." If it weren't for the adoring look on his face, Si Xi would really suspect that he was sarcastic about her. But is this kid's direction wrong, don't say it, Wen Yuan regards Sixi's porcelain touching as a kind of ability, and he especially wants to learn.
Wen Yuan followed Si Xi back, all the way he was talking about what he saw and heard today, what happened to the east family, what happened to the west family, whose little lady was scolded by her mother-in-law again, and what happened to the sister-in-law, all of which were trivial things. Si Xi actually admires him, he can remember so much, the key is to get these steamed buns.
"Fourth brother, do you know, something big happened, I heard that the old man of the Qian family died, and he was hacked to death with a knife." Then he said mysteriously to Si Xishen: "I heard that it made the government unhappy, and the government made people do it." ”
Sixi: ...... Well, there is another cause of death, those who offend the government are hacked to death. However, this reason should be false, or it was deliberately spread by someone with a heart, after all, in this era, there is no human rights right to speak in front of the government.
"Who did you listen to?"
"Ah, Niu Da of the pork stall said, he and his second Niu saw it with his own eyes when they went to collect pigs. And the old lady of the Qian family is crying sadly. ”
Si Xi paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he continued to ask:
"Well, anything else?"
"Oh, you said the Qian family, yes, not long after you left today, their family invited Lang Zhong to go, I quietly followed after a long time before I came out followed by a little maid, and then it seemed that the Qian family's lady was beaten and the child was gone, and she scolded her for stealing men if she couldn't control her man, and she had to send her to be a sister-in-law, anyway, she scolded a lot of words." Sixi felt weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
"What the hell does the Qian family do, is it very rich?"
"The Qian family is the owner of the rice shop, and they have not moved in the southern area, the family should be very rich, and they can afford to hire a maid, that little maid is really good-looking, white, the Qian family must be good to her! The old lady of the Qian family was a widow who pulled Uncle Qian, but the little lady of the Qian family had no children, and she didn't leave even a root to the Qian family, and the Qian family became extinct, so many family properties were inherited by no one, tsk. ”
"You still inquired about this today?" Si Xi felt that this Wen Yuan was really a talent, and he could dig out the old bottom of the Qian family without a specific goal, of course, he was accurate and verified.
"I didn't inquire, it was the uncle who sold the fish himself, he said that the old lady of the Qian family is really pitiful, she is young and widowed, not to mention that she is still white-haired and black-haired, and the little lady of the Qian family is not angry, and the roots of the Qian family have been lost by her, and she deserves to be sent to be a sister-in-law. Now the old lady of the Qian family is still charming, if anyone can marry her, it is to marry Wanguan family property, and enjoy happiness directly, tsk, "Wen Yuanxue is decent."
According to Wen Yuan's information, Si Xi roughly sorted it out, the uncle of the Qian family died, but it is not easy to say whether he was found in the western area, and some witnesses said that they saw him being chased and cut down with their own eyes. There is an old lady and a daughter-in-law in the family, the old lady was widowed when he was young and pulled him to grow up, and the daughter-in-law had a miscarriage, as for whether the child was his, it is not easy to say, because the old lady said that the daughter-in-law stole the man, and it was also possible to be killed by gambling.
I don't know if this world provides news for the yamen, is there a bounty, but how can I know if I don't try, so I threw the self-made short beat on my body to Wen Yuan, this kid didn't know what he thought, and looked at Si Xi's eyes were full of admiration, which scared her.
Instructed Wen Yuan to go back first, she went to the yamen alone to wander around, until the afternoon to see a large group of catchers quickly coming to the yamen, Si Xi hurriedly stepped forward to stop, probably because the appearance was too abrupt, walking in front of the left of a young catcher knife pulled out, just afraid that she would take a step faster and his knife would fall. Sixi was also frightened, after all, in this era, the people don't fight with officials, if she is killed by mistake, it is estimated that she will be killed by mistake, and there will not even be a blister.
Before they moved, he spoke: "My lord, I have a clue to report!" ”
