Chapter Twenty-Nine: Questioning

Mrs. Jia walked slowly towards the inn. Just as she was about to enter the inn, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a little beggar sitting in a small corner outside the inn gate.

She immediately walked towards the little beggar, took out some silver taels from her body and handed it to the little beggar. The little beggar happily took the silver, bowed heavily to Mrs. Jia, and then slowly left.

Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo watched all this quietly......

After Mrs. Jia slowly came to the inn, Xiao Ze was still standing in place and staring at Mrs. Jia.

Seeing that Xiao Ze was staring at her in a daze, Mrs. Jia looked down at her clothes, and whispered to Yu Ruo next to her in confusion, "Brother Xiao, why does he keep staring at me?" Dirty on my face? ”

Yu Ruo looked at Mrs. Jia, with her pale little face, delicate facial features, and simple clothes, and then thought about the scene just now, shook her head and said, "You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen." ”

And gently touched Xiao Ze's arm.

Xiao Ze came back to his senses and immediately took a stool for Mrs. Jia to sit on.

"Miss Yuruo is really good at talking." Being praised by Yu Ruo like this, Mrs. Jia covered her mouth and smiled, "By the way, how is the business of the small shop today?" Mrs. Jia glanced at the inn and asked Xiao Ze about the operation.

"It's still good." Yu Ruo was the first to answer.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia had a satisfied smile on her pale face.

Xiao Ze poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Jia and handed it to her with both hands.

"Mrs. Jia!" Tang Yi came out of the toilet and saw that Mrs. Jia had arrived at the inn. He couldn't wait to pull the jade flute from his waist.

Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo also opened their eyes wide and looked at Tang Yi.

The three of them held their breath and their eyes fell on the jade flute. The jade flute suddenly turned red, and its color was as red as blood.

"Wow! Red? The three of them stared at the jade flute, looking at each other in surprise.

The three of them turned their gaze to Mrs. Jia again.

Tang Yi immediately asked Mrs. Jia, "Madam, where have you been in the past few days?" Who have you been in contact with for a long time these days? ”

Mrs. Jia was confused by Tang Yi's question, looked at Tang Yi blankly, and said in a daze: "I've been at home for the past few days." ”

Tang Yi raised his voice and asked again, "Mrs. Jia, may I ask who you have been in contact with for a long time these days?" ”

Mrs. Jia recalled: "In the past few days, my physical condition has improved, so I have come into contact with a lot of people. Tang Gongzi, what are you asking for? ”

"Please write down the names of the people you are in contact with on a piece of paper." Tang Yi immediately asked Xiao Ze to find a pen and paper.

Mrs. Jia saw that Tang Yi's expression was extremely serious, and she didn't know what Tang Yi's intentions were in doing this, and she was very uneasy in her heart.

"Ahem, ahem," Mrs. Jia suddenly coughed violently.

Xiao Ze sensed that Mrs. Jia was uneasy, so he comforted: "Boss, you have to pay more attention to your body.

Tang Gongzi asked you this, he had his own intentions. Whatever he asks, you can answer. If you don't want to write, you can dictate. ”

Madame Jia nodded, remembered for a while, and said the names of a few people who had been in contact with her for a long time.

Tang Yi wrote down the names and addresses of these people, and then asked Yu Ruo to go to the yamen and find the head of the yamen.

After the head of the official arrived, Tang Yi whispered a few words to him. The head of the official immediately left the inn.

Soon after, the head of the official returned with a few men. Mrs. Jia saw that the people brought back by the head of the official were exactly what she said.

"Tang Gongzi, what is your purpose in bringing them here?" Mrs. Jia was even more puzzled.

Tang Yi did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Mrs. Jia for confirmation: "You have been in contact with these people for a long time these days? ”

Mrs. Jia looked at the people in front of her and nodded. "They are all my neighbors, and they have more contact. ”

"Yu Ruo, you take Mrs. Jia to the second floor." Tang Yi instructed Yu Ruo.

Yu Ruo immediately supported Mrs. Jia and went up to the second floor.

Tang Yi held the jade flute in his hand and swept at them one by one.

Mrs. Jia's neighbors had question marks written all over their faces, but when they saw that they were people from the government, they didn't dare to ask more. Everyone was worried.

"How's it going?" Xiao Ze immediately came to see what had changed in the jade flute.

"You see, the Jade Flute's reaction to these people is a light red." Tang Yi took the jade flute and showed it to Xiao Ze.

When Xiao Ze saw it, it was really so.

According to Jiong Yan, the jade flute can show red and will meet two types of people: first, the jade flute meets the wolf demon himself;

The second type is that the jade flute has met someone who has been in contact with the wolf demon for a long time.

The jade flute's reaction to Mrs. Jia was red, could Mrs. Jia be the wolf demon herself......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, the proprietress is a real person." Xiao Ze immediately retorted.

"Don't worry, listen to me. I also know that Mrs. Jia is human. Lady Naja belongs to the second category of people, people who have had contact with wolf demons for a long time.

You see, Mrs. Jia has been in contact with these people for a long time recently.

According to what Jiong Yan said, since Mrs. Jia has had contact with these people for a long time, then one of these people should be a wolf demon.

Otherwise, the jade flute would not have taken on the red color as soon as it met Mrs. Jia. Xiao Ze listened to Tang Yi's analysis and felt strange.

Tang Yi continued to analyze: "But the jade flute's reaction to them is all light red.

This pale red color shows that these people are definitely not wolf demons; It's just a contact with the wolf demon, and it's a brief contact;

Since none of them are wolf demons, the jade flute will not show red after Mrs. Jia's long-term contact with them.

But the jade flute showed a red reaction, what is going on? Tang Yi held his chin in his right hand and fell into deep thought.

"Well, yes, Mrs. Jia has had long-term contact with these people, but none of these people are wolf demons, so why is this jade flute red when it meets Mrs. Jia?" Xiao Ze frowned and wondered.

However, Tang Yi said to Xiao Ze: "Isn't it that Mrs. Jia lied to us?" The people she has been in contact with for a long time are not these people at all, but someone else? ”

Xiao Ze was also unsure of Tang Yi's analysis for a while. Tang Yi immediately turned around and walked towards the second floor. Xiao Ze also followed.

Tang Yi quickly found Mrs. Jia on the second floor, and immediately asked, "Mrs. Jia, in addition to having a long time of contact with these people downstairs recently, who else have you had a long time of contact with?" ”

Mrs. Jia stood up, looked at Tang Yi for unknown reasons, and said slowly: "I'm not in good health, and I rarely walk outside.

Several of them are my neighbors, so I naturally have more contact with them. As for other people, let alone long-term contact, even getting to know each other, according to my physical condition, it is very difficult to do. After finishing speaking, Mrs. Jia took the handkerchief and coughed a few times.

Xiao Ze nodded as he listened.

"Mrs. Jia, I hope you can tell the truth." Tang Yi was skeptical. He accentuated his tone again and asked Mrs. Jia for confirmation.

Mrs. Jia saw Tang Yi's eyes shoot a cold light, forcing her to look at herself. The already nervous heart instantly became nervous.

She clenched her handkerchief and glanced at Xiao Ze, Tang Yi and Yu Ruo. The three of them fixed their eyes firmly on her face.

The whole room instantly filled the room with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Mrs. Jia suddenly felt unwell, her right hand held her forehead, her feet were weak, and her body suddenly fell backwards.

Xiao Ze's eyes were quick, and he immediately supported Mrs. Jia and helped her to sit on the stool and rest. Tell Yuruo to take good care of it.

He dragged Tang Yi out of the door by himself.

"Xiao Ze, what are you dragging me out for? Mrs. Jia has not yet answered my question. Tang Yi shook off Xiao Ze's hand.

"Are you asking questions?" Xiao Ze had anger on his face, "I see you're pressing."

Our boss lady has been weak since she fell ill. You ask so harshly, how can her body stand it? ”

Tang Yi saw that Xiao Ze was a little angry, so he glanced at Mrs. Jia from outside the door and said, "She may have lied to us just now, I just wanted her to tell the truth." There was a hint of grievance in his tone.

"Okay, my boss lady is here, I'll ask." Xiao Ze's tone was tough, and after he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and went into the house.

Tang Yi saw that Xiao Ze had a trace of incomprehension about him, and he was also unhappy in his heart. He turned downstairs, whispered a few words to the head of the officer, and then ordered the officer to let the people go.

I went to find Jiong Yan with a face full of grievances.

Jiong Yan saw Tang Yi appear in front of him with an aggrieved face, and he was very puzzled. He asked slowly, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Tang Yi told Jiong Yan and Mu Yu what had just happened.

After Jiong Yan knew the ins and outs of the matter, he said unhurriedly: "Do you know why Xiao Ze is angry?" ”

"Xiao Ze thinks I have a bad attitude towards Mrs. Jia." When Tang Yi said something, he cried out for himself.

"You see, this Mrs. Jia is not a wolf demon, and she is not a prisoner, and you forced Mrs. Jia in a stern tone, so much so that you almost scared Mrs. Jia to faint.

You have such a bad attitude towards Mrs. Jia, it's no wonder that Xiao Ze doesn't fight for Mrs. Jia. Jiong Yan also felt that Tang Yi's method was inappropriate when he handled this matter today.

"I just want to know from Jaff who she's been in contact with for a long time these days, so that I can find the wolf demon right away.

I wouldn't do anything to Mrs. Jia? But look at it, Xiao Ze blamed me. Tang Yi didn't understand Xiao Ze's behavior very much.

Mu Yu also agreed with Tang Yi's approach, and immediately said: "Since the jade flute's reaction to Mrs. Jia is red, then you should ask to the end."

Let's find out the whereabouts of the wolf demon as soon as possible and destroy him, so that he doesn't harm innocent people again. ”

"You two, you don't know Xiao Ze's feelings for Mrs. Jia and Boss Jia." Jiong Yan sighed lightly.

These words aroused Mu Yu's curiosity, and he immediately asked, "Who are these Mrs. Jia and Boss Jia?" What is the relationship between Xiao Ze and them? ”

Jiong Yan said slowly: "Boss Jia is a serious businessman, he does business genuinely, and he is not bullied;

Mrs. Jia is kind-hearted, and when she meets a beggar, she will give some silver.

Xiao Ze works in the 'Jia's Inn', and Mrs. Jia and Boss Jia take good care of him. They have been together for so long, and they are more or less emotional. ”

"Oh, I see!" After Tang Yi suddenly shouted, he ran out of the gate.

Mu Yu was so frightened by this sound that his whole body trembled. Seeing Tang Yi again, he suddenly ran out of the door like crazy, and asked Jiong Yan in a daze: "Tang Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”

Jiong Yan looked at Tang Yi's distant back and shook his head.

The sky was already dark, and the Jia's Inn was already closed.

Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo came back at this time. As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they saw Tang Yi's back.

As soon as Xiao Ze entered the house, he asked, "Tang Yi was here just now?" ”

Jiong Yan nodded and asked, "How is your question over there, Mrs. Jia?" ”

Hearing Jiong Yan's question, Xiao Ze knew in his heart that Tang Yi should tell Jiong Yan everything that happened today.

"Xiao Ze, Tang Yi's approach this time is indeed a little impatient, the method is not appropriate, and the attitude is not very good.

But you also have to think about it, Mrs. Jia is the only clue that can find the trace of the wolf demon at present.

If you miss this clue because of your patience, it is equivalent to letting the wolf demon go. Let go of the dangers of the wolf demon, I don't need to say it. Jiong Yan had a hint of seriousness on his face.

Xiao Ze heard Jiong Yan's words, firstly, to persuade him, and secondly, to remind him not to be emotional, and to focus on the overall situation.

He sat down and said slowly, "I asked the proprietress and the proprietress didn't say anything. She only said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go home.

I saw that she was really unwell, and I couldn't bear to ask. So let her go. ”

When Jiong Yan heard this, Xiao Ze didn't ask anything, and he let Mrs. Jia go. He sighed, took a sip of tea, and stopped talking.
