Chapter 100: The Fire (3)
After dawn, the snow finally lightened, Cheng Jun didn't even drink hot water, with black circles under his eyes, stepped on the knee-high snow, and reported to the city with a shallow foot.
He likes plain clothes, and when Song Qingyun asked him like that yesterday, he almost blurted out that he liked plain clothes.
But he felt that he was not worthy of plain clothes, he was just a small steward, if Qingyun hadn't promoted him, he would probably be a buddy in a shop in the county now.
Su Yi is beautiful, has a cold temperament, and always has an expression of "don't get close to the living" on her face, but Cheng Jun can't take his eyes off her when he sees her for the first time.
That day, he was taken by his father to see Song Qingyun, and when he was waiting at the gate, a black shadow suddenly floated in front of him. At that time, he was startled, rubbed his eyes, and looked closely, it turned out to be a girl with a bucket in both hands.
The bucket was full of water, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help, but in exchange for a cold, ice-like glance in plain clothes.
He was stunned on the spot, obviously disgusted, but Cheng Jun's heart seemed to have been hit by something, and he looked at Su Yi's back until he couldn't see it.
When he went in to see Qingyun, he bumped into Suyi who bowed his head and came out, and Suyi muttered impatiently, which sounded like a natural sound to him, and he was red in the face and red ears in a panic, and said sorry again and again, so that when Qingyun asked him, he was distracted and did not answer.
In this way, he looked forward to going to the house every day to pay the account, longing to take a look at the plain clothes that had not given him any good face.
Yesterday, when he heard that Su Yi was injured, his heart suddenly panicked into a pot of porridge, and he ran desperately to the city, wanting to take Yang Langzhong over as soon as possible, for fear that Su Yi's life would be lost if he was delayed.
But now, the plain girl disappeared without a trace, and he checked around the house where she lived several times, and finally saw specks of blood in the place where the base of the wall was covered with snow.
Cheng Jun didn't know how he climbed into the county office, the county official scolded him impatiently and loudly and insulted him, who is willing to go to the countryside to investigate the case in this kind of ghost weather, and after a few words, let the official blow him out.
"My lord, one of the people who disappeared last night is the daughter of Lord Wang Xueyuan, the governor of Shanxi, and the stakes are very high, so it's better for your lord to take a look."
In a hurry, he remembered Qingyun's explanation before leaving, and sure enough, the county lord sat back in his position, "You didn't lie and lie to the official?"
"Adult, how dare a small person deceive an adult? It's true, I don't believe you go to your home to investigate. ”
When the official messenger was brought to Liujia Village, it was already afternoon, and the county master didn't know how many heels he had fallen along the way, and the snow foam poured into his belly from the collar, which was so cold that his teeth fought, so you can imagine how ugly his face was, and he snorted coldly at Song Qingyun who came out, and he didn't say anything for a while to let her get up from the snow.
Qingyun had no choice but to maintain a posture with his knees half-bent, and said, "Please come into the house and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
"No need!" The county magistrate looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the village chief?" ”
Liu Xigui hurriedly came out of the crowd, nodded and came to the county master, knelt down and kowtowed, "My lord, I am." ”
"Go to your house and lead the way." The county magistrate glanced at the few rooms of Qingyun's house that had not been burned down, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
"Ma'am, what can I do?" Guo's mother came over to help her up and asked worriedly.
"Let's go back first." Qingyun looked at the back of the group, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
After Cheng Jun finished eating, Qingyun called him to him and asked him to arrange things in the workshop and stop work for five days.
After dawn, she re-examined Ziling and Suyi's room, and she and Guo's mother, Yang Langzhong's analysis, Ziling was coerced to take away, because the room was very messy, and there were blood stains on the walls and cabinets.
Suyi's room was much cleaner, but there were also a small amount of blood dripping, and Qingyun suspected that she had taken the initiative to chase her out.
If this is the case, then Su Yi will definitely come back, she has always talked about the orders of King Jing, and it is impossible to leave her and Doubao alone.
Hearing this, Cheng Jun's heart calmed down, but when he was clearing the snow in the yard, his eyes glanced at the gate from time to time, hoping that when he inadvertently turned around, he could see plain clothes with a cold face walking in.
The county magistrate didn't come back after he went to Liu Xigui's house, Guo's mother went to inquire several times but said that no one was found, and in the evening, Zhang's suddenly ran over, and the first thing she said when she saw Qingyun was to let her hide quickly.
"I can't explain it now, I only heard the county magistrate slap the table and scold people, and let the officials kidnap you to the county office."
Qingyun didn't panic at all, she beckoned Zhang to sit down and drink saliva first, embroidering a handkerchief in her hand unhurriedly.
"Qingyun, this is all burning eyebrows, how can you calm down?" Zhang's belly was on fire, and after the county magistrate entered her house, her father-in-law drove her to the kitchen to cook on the fire.
She knew in her heart that her father-in-law was narrow-minded, and she had always been worried about Song Qingyun's family property, and she was polite to Qingyun on the surface, but she didn't say bad things about her behind her back.
Afraid that her father-in-law would make some trouble, she took advantage of the words of the county order that she eavesdropped on when she went in to change the hot water, so she secretly ran out to report the news.
"Sister-in-law, sit down and have a sip of tea, I haven't done anything illegal, and the county master can't do anything to me."
"That's what I said, but my little arms can't twist my thighs, and your house is on fire, if you're being caught, what can Doubao do?"
Qingyun's hand paused, and his eyes swept to the Doubao he was playing with in the kang. The child is small, and yesterday fortunately he just wiped his hands and feet with a hot cloth, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Sensing her mother's gentle gaze, Dou Bao turned around and smiled at her, revealing a few small white teeth.
"Sister-in-law, where can I hide?"
The county master came here without asking a word, not looking at a single footprint, expecting him to find clues for himself, I am afraid it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Now what she can use is to put herself in prison, she believes that Su Yi will come back, with the hole card of King Jing, she is not afraid of losing her life.
"Sister-in-law, if I am taken away, I hope you can cooperate with Cheng Jun's arrangement and take care of the workshop."
Zhang looked at her dumbfounded.
"If you can help at home, please take care of it more, Doubao likes to play with the tiger baby, let him live in my house, don't worry, it's safe here, there will be no more fires."
Saying that, he put on his shoes lightly, tidied up his clothes, nodded to the worried Guo's mother, and was about to say a few words, when he heard Cheng Jun's panicked voice from the yard.
"Madame, ma'am?" Cheng Jun was pushed by someone, and his head hit the door panel, making a muffled "bang" sound.
"Song Qingyun, now detain you and go to the county government court to explain the crime of arson to death, come with us!"
Saying that, the official took out a finger-thick rope and put it around her neck, which was dodged by Qingyun sensitively, and she looked at them with a cold face and righteousness, "I'll just go with you, you don't need to treat me like this." ”
When passing by Liu Xigui's side, Qingyun stared at him intently, and only after a long time did he ask, "Uncle, you said that my family burned people to death, right?" ”
