Chapter Twenty-Nine: One Daughter and Two Husbands

Ah Wang didn't react at once, and it wasn't until Shen Lingjun showed him the piece of paper with the signature written on it that he remembered, "Oh, the official is talking about this...... This was a few days ago, that day I went out with the young master, and there was a person who didn't know what was going on, so he had to tell the young master, and the young master was pestered, so he casually calculated a hexagram. ”

Ah Wang scratched his head: "Later, the fortune teller gave the young master this sign, and mysteriously asked the young master to go out less recently, saying that it was afraid of a bloody disaster, but our young master has never believed in this, and he didn't care, who knows...... If I had known this, I would not have let the young master go out even if I died. ”

Su Musha's cold eyes swept over and asked lightly, "Do you still recognize what that fortune teller looks like?" ”

Ah Wang thought carefully for a long time and shook his head: "Because the young master ordered a set of jewelry in Li Ji for the young grandmother who had not passed through the door, the young master and I were in a hurry to get it, so we didn't pay much attention to it, and the fortune teller wore a big black gauze hat and covered his face." ”

Shen Lingjun asked, "What is the shape of the voice?" ”

Ngawang frowned and recalled: "The voice is a little thin, I feel uncomfortable in my throat, and he deliberately pressed his throat when he spoke, I think he is a liar, let the young master ignore him, if the figure is not fat or thin, he was wearing loose clothes at the time, it is difficult to say." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Mu made it clear that the person should have deliberately dressed up in such a disguise so that people would not be recognized.

The housekeeper next to him sighed: "Alas, our young master is such a good person, but his life is not good, and he is about to get married, but he let people snatch his fiancΓ©e away, so I can't think about it." ”

"FiancΓ©e snatched away?" Shen Lingjun's dark eyes moved, and he was quite surprised: "What's going on?" ”

The housekeeper explained the reason to the three of them, it turned out that Yao Qingyu's fiancΓ©e was surnamed Lu, and her single name was a Yun character, and she had previously been married to the Chen family, a squire in Chen Yao Village, Danfeng Mansion.

Later, he got acquainted with Yao Qingyu, and after the two made a covenant, Lu Yun told Yao Qingyu about it, and also retired his relatives, and specially invited Zhang Matchmaker, who specializes in matchmaking in Danfeng Mansion, to come and set the family affairs, and prepare to marry Yao Qingyu. Unexpectedly, the Chen family quit and came to the Yao family to ask for someone, but of course Yao Qingyu refused. But the Chen family and the prefect are related, and with the help of the government, they finally took people away.

Li Yi frowned: "Robbing people in broad daylight, isn't this too blind." ”

Shen Lingjun felt that although Hong Tian was timid and afraid of things and was very happy, he didn't look like a person who was too out of line, how could he do this.

"Alas, poor Miss Lu, two days after being robbed by the Chen family, I heard that she committed suicide by jumping into the river, I'm afraid that the young master can't think of it because of this." The butler sighed and shook his head.

"What?" Shen Lingjun was even more puzzled, and Xiumei had a surprised look on her face: "Also dead?" ”

The housekeeper sighed again: "No, what's the matter, alas......"

At this time, Ngawang interjected: "I don't think it's possible for the young master to commit suicide?" ”

Su Musha asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Ngawang replied: "Although the young master was sad at that time, he clearly told me that he wanted to seek justice for Miss Lu, so he would not choose to commit suicide at this time." ”

The housekeeper patted Ah Wang's shoulder: "This kid has been staying with the young master for a long time, and his feelings are deep, don't mind a few adults." ”

It didn't matter what Shen Lingjun waved his hand, and asked Yao Qingyu who he usually interacted with, and Ah Wang said them all. is an ordinary rich son, although his business is not as good as before after his father's death, but with the help of the other four families, he is still passable.

Shen Lingjun said: "In this way, the relationship between the five of you is very good on weekdays. ”

"The five masters are brothers who worship the master, and they have a lifelong friendship." So said the butler.

Shen Lingjun nodded, and then asked some of the places where Yao Qingyu usually goes, and whether there are any grudges with people, etc., Ah Wang and the housekeeper of Yao Mansion told everything very carefully.

After the questioning, the three of them came out of Yao's mansion, Shen Lingjun saw that it was still early, and asked Li Yi to take a step forward and inquire about the people who had close contacts with Yao Qingyu, especially the three deceased.

When Li Yi rode away, Shen Lingjun patted back to the wind: "Let's go to the county government again?" ”

The two of them hurried and did not stop and went straight to the Danfeng County Ya, and when they entered the city gate, the sun had gradually turned west.

Hong Tian was quite surprised to see Shen Lingjun suddenly, and then heard that Shen Lingjun was looking for him because of the affairs of the Yao and Lu families, and immediately called the Yao family slanderous.

According to Hong Tian's description, it is not consistent with what Steward Yao said-

The Chen family's Chen Gongzi is called Chen Liji, and the one named Lu Yun and Chen Gongzi were in love, but Yao Qingyu took a fancy to him and insisted on robbing him to get married, so the Chen family was naturally not convinced, so he sued the county government. And the Chen family and Hong Tian are not relatives as Yao Steward said, because they were hired by the Chen family before they were awarded to the Chen family.

Shen Lingjun asked Hong Tian in confusion: "Hasn't Lu Yun already broken off the marriage contract with the son of the Chen family?" ”

Hong Tian shook his head: "There is no such thing, the Chen family took out the marriage contract at that time, and there was a matchmaker Zhang to testify, which was not a fraud." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, the two of them were thinking in their hearts, since Hong Tian and the Chen family were not relatives, there was no need to defend them, but Yao Qingyu was dead, and there was no need for Steward Yao to suddenly pull out this matter and lie. It is rare for a woman to marry two husbands, and the question is that it is a love match twice, which is really confusing.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Lingjun felt that since the two sides insisted on their own words, they should ask Lu Yun's family what they said, so he asked Hong Tian where Lu Yun's family lived.

Hong Tian asked the master to dig out the previous records, and after finding the address, he had to take Shen Lingjun there in person.

Shen Lingjun felt that he was very uncomfortable with him, so he said righteously: "Governor Hong, the new emperor ascended the throne, the government is unstable, we should always share the worries of the court, as the prefect of a county, there are many big and small things every day, how can you waste time on running errands?" ”

Hong Tian said embarrassedly: "Lord Siqing is right, it is the lower officials who are confused. ”

Shen Lingjun waved his hand: "You just need to find a servant who is familiar with the road to lead the way." ”

The two came out of the county government to the door, and the official appointed by Hong Tian ran over and saluted: "My lord, Lu Yun's house is on Wufang Street in the west of Danfeng Mansion, not far from the county office. ”

Shen Lingjun nodded, let him lead the way in front, and he and Su Musha led the horse to follow behind.

After walking a few steps, Shen Lingjun felt Su Mu's eyes on him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

With a light smile in his eyes, Su Musha said, "Ling'er, what you said is so righteous and righteous, I almost believed it." ”

Shen Lingjun knew that he was referring to what he said to Hong Tian just now, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he smiled cheekily: "Of course, I am about to believe it myself." ”

As the official said, Lu Yun's house is not far away, and the time for a stick of incense has arrived.

The official went to knock on the door, but there was no movement for a long time, but he took pictures of the surrounding neighbors.

A woman of twenty-five or sixteen came out with a child under the age of one in her arms and looked curiously.

The official went over and asked, "Is this family at home?" ”

The woman saw that he was dressed as a servant, and like other ordinary people who saw the official master, she took two steps back.

Shen Lingjun walked over with a smile: "This eldest sister, you are the neighbor of Lu Yun's family, right?" ”

Shen Lingjun's smiling face came into her eyes, and the woman inexplicably felt that this girl was a little kind, and she was strangely handsome, so she couldn't help but nod.

"What about Lu Yun's family?" Shen Lingjun continued to ask.

The woman changed the child's hand, adjusted her posture, and then cautiously replied, "What are you looking for in her house, there is no one in her house." ”

Su Musha was puzzled: "Where did you go?" ”

The woman suddenly saw the overly handsome face in front of her, and was a little embarrassed to stare at it, turned her eyes away, and said: "This house is rented by a little girl surnamed Lu, she said that she is from other places, has no family, and has not seen anyone in the past few days, I still think she should find another place to live and move away." ”

Shen Lingjun said: "She lives here alone? Do you know where she's from? ”

The woman soothed the moving child and said, "It's right to live alone, as for where it is, it's not clear, Miss Lu doesn't like to talk much, and she doesn't usually interact with our neighbors." ”

Su Musha looked in from the window, and saw that the room was simply furnished, and there was a thin layer of dust on the table, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a while, so he asked, "You haven't seen her for a few days?" ”

The woman thought for a while: "It's been ten days and half a month, and Miss Lu usually doesn't go home for three or five days, but it hasn't happened for so long like this time." Obviously, the woman didn't know that Lu Yun had committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake.

"Did you know she's going to get married?" Shen Lingjun asked.

The woman's face showed a hint of surprise, and then she remembered something and suddenly realized: "No wonder Mrs. Zhang came to her house some time ago, but I didn't see her come again later, I thought it didn't work out." ”

Su Musha said: "Usually who else comes to her?" ”

The child in the woman's arms twisted non-stop, and she finally calmed it down, and then said, "No, Miss Lu is all alone." ”

Shen Lingjun touched his chin and said curiously: "Since this Miss Lu lives alone, what does she usually rely on for a living?" ”

"That's it." The woman frowned, "I really don't know. ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other - how could this Lu Yun still look quite mysterious.

The woman thought that the two of them had gone somewhere else, so she helped Lu Yun and said, "But I'm sure Miss Lu is a serious person and won't do indiscreet things." ”

"I know." Shen Lingjun smiled slightly: "Can you tell me how to get to Mrs. Zhang's house?" ”

The woman showed them the way, and then said cautiously, "Did Miss Lu commit something?" ”

At this time, the official shouted: "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask." ”

Shen Lingjun waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, and then said to the woman: "Thank you today, let's go first." ”

Under the woman's puzzled eyes, the three of them came out of the alley.

It was still the official who led the way in front, and Shen Lingjun and Su Mu walked side by side behind him.

Shen Lingjun poked Su Musha and said in a low voice: "Mu Mu, do you think this Lu Yun is a little strange. ”

Su Musha nodded: "If you want to say that you are withdrawn, it will not be like this. ”
