After a pause, Master Chen continued:

Xia Guan took people to Li Baoer's house to ask his family, on the day of Li Baoer's disappearance, did anything special happen in their family?

According to Li Bao'er's mother-in-law, Lin's family, nothing special happened, but Li Bao'er's high fever did not go away in the past few days, which made everyone in the family anxious.

Xia Guan learned that when Li Baoer disappeared, the two brothers in the family were working at Wang Yuanwai's house. Chen, who is Li Tiezhu's wife, brought lunch to the two.

Li Tiezhu Li Tiegen's mother, Zhang, went to find Dr. Li who lived at the end of Lijia Village. Li Xiaoya, the daughter of Li Tiezhu, has always been working in the fields.

At that time, Lin didn't know whether he had a bad stomach or something, and stayed in the thatched house for about two quarters of an hour. When she came out, there was no trace of Li Bao'er.

Until the early morning of the day before yesterday, some villagers found Li Bao'er's body under the jujube tree. Only then did everyone know that he had already been killed.

Xia Guan went to the rest of the houses in Lijia Village to investigate to see who had grievances with Li Tiezhu's family. According to the villagers, there are three families who have grievances with their families.

Li Tiezhu and Li Tiegen are both carpenters. Some time ago, Wang Yuan's family wanted to hire some workers to repair the hand-copying verandah. The two brothers of the Li family were selected, but Li Daniu, who lived in the same village of the Li family, was not selected. In this regard, Li Daniu complained a lot.

Zhang's is a greedy and cheap person, he likes to take advantage of groceries on weekdays, and he always goes to other people's houses. The women of the village had long had many opinions about her. But if you really want to talk about the resentment in your heart, it must belong to Li Si's wife, Qian.

More than a month ago, Li Si's family lost a few eggs that he planned to take to the town to sell, and Qian suspected that Zhang stole them. But Zhang didn't admit it, and there was no evidence, so the matter was over.

The Qian family is very kind on weekdays, but he is a little picky, and he calculates every penny he spends very clearly. Therefore, he often complained about it in front of his neighbors.

The Lin family is a spicy woman, and she has long seen that the Yang widow in the village is not pleasing to the eye.

After meeting Li Tiegen and taking a few more glances at Widow Yang, every time she saw Widow Yang, she looked like a yin and yang weirdness, and even said a lot of bad things about Widow Yang behind her back.

What's more, when Widow Yang passed by her door, she deliberately poured rancid water on Widow Yang's body. At that time, Widow Yang spoke harshly to the Lin family.

As for the Chen family, and the Chen family's daughter Li Xiaoya. The villagers said that the mother and daughter rarely interacted with people on weekdays, but they had never heard of anyone who had a grudge against them.

The lower officials went to investigate where the three suspects were when Li Bao'er disappeared, but this result was ......"

Xie Jinlan came out of the curtain, interrupted Master Chen's speech, and stopped: "Those three people all have alibi, what the official said is right?" ”

Master Chen's face was slightly red: "It's the incompetence of the lower officials, the case has been interrupted until here, and the lower officials don't know what to do." ”

Ruan Yezhen also had a faint look of anxiety on her face: "Xie Jinlan, you must have a way, right?" ”

Xie Jinlan's gaze seemed to inadvertently pass over Ruan Yezhen's face, and then he raised his feet and walked outside the house.

Walking to the door, seeing that no one was following, Xie Jinlan's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his face sideways: "Master Chen." ”

Master Chen bowed down and responded: "The lower official is here." ”

"The official is already planning to leave, you are still in the official room, what are you going to do?"

chuckled and dropped such a sentence, and without waiting for Master Chen's reaction, Xie Jinlan turned around and left directly.

Master Chen was slightly stunned, then quickly caught up with Xie Jinlan's pace, and asked curiously: "My lord, do you have a way?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled in his eyes: "This matter is not in a hurry, Master Chen will go out of the house with this official first." ”

Although Master Chen was in a hurry, he had no choice but to bow his head.

Ruan Yezhen did not suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart: "Xie Jinlan, you are too cold-blooded!" At this time, how can you still be in the mood for breakfast! ”

Xie Jinlan turned a deaf ear.

Ruan Yezhen couldn't, so she had to recite "Don't Be Angry" many times in her heart, which calmed down her emotions a little.

Ruan Yezhen originally thought that Xie Jinlan would definitely choose a restaurant such as Pinxiangju if he wanted to have breakfast, but he didn't want to, so he actually sat down at a roadside stall.

"What do you want to eat?" Xie Jinlan's face was gentle.

Master Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, Xia Guan has already had breakfast." ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "When I go out, Master Chen can call me to Yanzhi." ”

Xie Jinlan, the expression is derived.

After a pause, he continued, "In that case, I should not call you the Lord. I remember, Ziyu is your cousin, right? ”

Master Chen nodded hesitantly.

Xie Jinlan said: "Then I'll call you Ziyu." ”

Without waiting for Master Chen's opinion, Xie Jinlan shouted not far away: "Boss, come to a bowl of bean curd and three meat buns!" ”

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

The young woman who was busy in front of the stall answered without raising her head.

Compared with the diners on the table around him, Xie Jinlan's appearance in brocade clothes looked very out of place.

Receiving the gazes from all directions from time to time, Master Chen felt quite uncomfortable.

It's Xie Jinlan, but he can't see anything strange at all. It's normal for him to be here.

Xie Jinlan's frank appearance made the diners around him retract their gaze a little sneeringly.

Then they started talking about the topic they had left off.

Not far from Xie Jinlan and the others, the discussion of two strong men in coarse linen attracted the attention of the two of them.

"After the two brothers Li Tiezhu left in a hurry the day before yesterday, they never came. Do you say, will they come today? ”

"The family is dead, and the dead are still the male babies who have been waiting for a long time, how can they still have the heart to do work!"

"But if they don't work, their family won't be able to drink the northwest wind!"

"Hey, why do people bother with you!"

"Brother said this, as if he knew some inside information?"

As soon as these words came out, the other person looked around cautiously and saw that no one noticed them, so he motioned for the person next to him to come closer.

Then, the discussion between the two was much lowered.

"I heard that the mother-in-law of the two brothers came to the king's house to make trouble. For the sake of fame, Wang Yuanwai can only use some money to send their family. Shut up that big lady's mouth! ”

"Their family has a dead child, what does this have to do with Wang Yuanwai? Why is the eldest lady still relying on the king? ”

"That's because you don't know what kind of virtue that lady is! One of my cousins lives in Lijia Village, and it is said that the eldest lady is very greedy for small things. If she can't take advantage of this advantage, she will just splash and roll, and the troublemakers will not be able to get off the stage. ”

"This king is also unlucky, he actually met such a scoundrel."

"If you want me to say, that eldest lady is a heartless person, this grandson has just died, so she can't wait to ask the king for benefits. is not afraid that her grandson will die without turning a blind eye. ”

"Shhhh Don't gossip about the dead! ”
