Because of Wen Xiaomo's Xiucai identity, and there is no conclusive evidence that he has anything to do with Yang Cheng's death, the official is also very polite, "Wen Xiucai, our Lord Jing has something to ask you about Yang Cheng." ”

"Brother Yang?" Wen Xiaomo was stunned, "But something happened to Brother Yang?" ”

The official almost nodded, "Yes!" Yang Cheng died three days ago. ”

"Do you know Yang Cheng?" Niu Ruoshui looked Wen Xiaomo up and down a few times, could it be that the foolish scholar who was rumored to be deceived by Yang Cheng was the Wen Xiaomo in front of him?

"Yes! When I first came to Yuzhou City, Brother Yang Cheng helped me, so I am very familiar with him and have always been brothers. Wen Xiaomo looked at the official messenger, "I fell down from the mountainside yesterday and was rescued by the cattle shopkeeper, and I just woke up not long ago." But now there is nothing to do, so I will go with you to the yamen. ”

Wen Xiaomo smiled at Niu Ruoshui, "Thank you Shopkeeper Niu for saving me, if it weren't for you, I might have died in the mountains!" When I go to the yamen to ask about Brother Yang, I will thank you again. ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Niu Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, just like Wen Xiaomo, it really doesn't look like she dares to kill, and Yang Cheng is also familiar to her, as far as Wen Xiaomo's thin arms and legs are concerned, it is estimated that it is not enough for Yang Cheng to beat him with two fists!

She sent Wen Xiaomo and the official messenger away, and the diners in the restaurant immediately began to gossip.

After all, Niu Ruoshui was also taken by the yamen for questioning, so she immediately explained to the diners in the restaurant.

Wen Xiaomo was taken to Yuzhou Yamen by the official, and on the way he had already inquired about the name of the prefect, so as soon as he entered, Wen Xiaomo saluted and said: "In the Lower Yuzhou Academy, Xiucai Wen Xiaomo has seen Lord Jing." ”

"No courtesy." Lord Jing said solemnly, "This official asked you to come here to ask you about Yang Cheng and the day Yang Cheng died, where were you?" ”

"Yes. When the student first came to Yuzhou City, he met Brother Yang Cheng! On that day, the student was stolen by a thief, and it was Brother Yang who helped the student find the money bag......" Wen Xiaomo told in detail how he met Yang Cheng, as well as Yang Cheng's physical discomfort and went to Yuzhou Academy to borrow money from him.

The master asked on the side: "Then every time Yang Cheng goes to you to borrow money, you lend it to him?" ”

Wen Xiaomo nodded and said softly, "Yes! Receiving a little bit, when the spring reciprocates, if Brother Yang wants more, the students don't have it, but a few copper plates, the students sell a pair of calligraphy and paintings or help people write a few letters to their families, and there will be. ”

"I see." Master Jing stroked his beard and said, "Where were you three days ago?" ”

"Three days ago......" Wen Xiaomo lowered his head and thought carefully.

"Ahh Wen Xiaomo suddenly let out a low voice, "Brother Yang came to the academy to find students that day!" ”

Master Jing and Master Jing glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

Wen Xiaomo said slowly: "The student was lucky to win the first prize in the exam, so Mr. not only gave a reward, but also let everyone rest for a day. Because of the silver bounty, the students thought about going out to buy breakfast and change their tastes......" Saying this, he lowered his head a little embarrassed, "Then I met Brother Yang!" The student also invited him to eat a bowl of bean curd. ”

Lord Jing nodded slightly, these things have naturally been investigated by the official mission, after all, they met outside the gate of Yuzhou Academy, and they naturally saw a lot of scholars.

"Later?" Master asked.

"Later, Brother Yang suddenly said that he had seen my fellow villager Qiao Su, and said that Qiao Mei had something to look for me." Speaking of this, Wen Xiaomo sighed slightly, "Qiao Mei was originally a childhood sweetheart with a student, but she ...... by mistake."

"Josue? But the shopkeeper Qiao, who runs a snack shop in the west of the city? Master asked.

Wen Xiaomo nodded lightly, "Yes, the student and Qiao Su are fellow villagers, and they used to ...... So as soon as Brother Yang said it, the student went to see Qiao Su, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding at all, Qiao Mei didn't want to meet the student at all, the student wanted to go to Brother Yang to ask, but when he turned around, Brother Yang was gone! Because of this misunderstanding, the student accidentally overturned the cart that Qiao Mei was going to send to the dock. ”

"Then Qiao Su has met Yang Cheng?" The master asked.

Wen Xiaomo shook his head, "The student doesn't know, but ...... Probably haven't seen it. Students are in Yuzhou Academy and can't come out often, so I asked Brother Yang to help me take care of Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei's husband is just a homeless person, and students are always worried that she is not doing well. ”

He sighed, and then said: "But Qiao Mei has a little misunderstanding of the student, so the student once told Brother Yang to try not to appear in front of Qiao Mei, and if he has the opportunity to pass by Qiao Mei, just help the student take a look." ”

The matter of the relationship between men and women, even if it is a parent official like Lord Jing, there is no room for beaking, after all, people did not steal or rob, and Wen Xiaomo just wanted to secretly understand the other party's situation, and did not want to do anything insulting.

After the student overturned Qiao Mei's car, Qiao Mei was very angry and drove the student away, and the student had to leave...... Later, the more the student thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to go to Yang to ask him about it! ”

"Did you go to Yang Cheng's house?" The brush recorded in the master's hand paused and looked at Wen Xiaomo.

Wen Xiaomo shook his head, "The students were originally going to go, but because they didn't go there often, they walked around the market, and then they found the pen and paper shop!" The rice paper in this shop is very cheap, and many senior brothers in the academy use it, so the students went in to have a look, and then learned from the shopkeeper that their shop can also customize brushes according to the different hands of each person, so the students ...... I'm excited! ”

"Custom-made brushes?" Lord Jing frowned slightly, this was the first time he had heard of this.

The master leaned over slightly, and said respectfully: "There is indeed a custom brush shop called a paper and pen shop on the other side of Songxiao Alley, and the shopkeeper has always thought that everyone's hands are very different, so if you want to use the pen comfortably, you need to customize it." ”

"I see." Master Jing looked at Wen Xiaomo, "You go on." ”

"Yes!" Wen Xiaomo bowed to Master Jing and said, "Because there is a pen suitable for students, the shopkeeper said that he only needs to wait for the time of a play, and he introduced me to the wonton stall opposite the pear orchard in Songxiao Alley, so the students went over to eat wontons...... I went to the theater. ”

"Never left this way?" Lord Jing asked casually.

"Left once." Wen Xiaomo said honestly, "Not long after sitting down, the student suddenly remembered to forget to ask the shopkeeper to add the student's name to the pen, so the student asked the people around him to help the student occupy a seat, and the student left." ”

"Oh?" Master Jing raised his eyes to look at Wen Xiaomo.
