Chapter 10: Occasional Clues

The next morning, everyone got up one after another to eat in the front hall.

Tang Tang staggered over, patted Mu Qing's shoulder, and said proudly: "Little beggar, I have avenged you." ”

Shen Lingjun didn't know why: "What revenge?" ”

Mu Qing nibbled on the bun and asked, "Did Sister Tang Tang go to find the big cow?" ”

Tang Tang grabbed a rice ball and said with a smile: "I put something on him." ”

"What?" Shen Changfeng had a bad premonition.

Tang Tang smiled evilly: "Puppet Gu." ”

Sure enough, Shen Changfeng sighed: "Go and solve it." ”

Tang Tang sat down and wrinkled his nose: "The puppet Gu has no damage to the body, but it will listen to you for the time being." Xiao Muqing, you can tell him to jump into the dung pit now, is it cool? ”

Mu Qing took the bun and thought about it, and said, "Sister Tang Tang, I think it's better to forget it, the big cows are actually quite pitiful." ”

Tang Tang poked Mu Qing's forehead with chopsticks: "You just can't teach anything." ”

Shen Lingjun took chopsticks and inserted a fritter and said, "It's not bad to give a lesson occasionally, that kid is really underwhelming." ”

"It's still our Lord Shen who is wise." Tang Tang remembered what happened last night, and said with a smile: "He said everything, even the ten-year-old bedwetting, and peeking at the little daughter-in-law taking a bath Haha." ”

Shen Changfeng shook his head: "Mess around." ”

Tang Tang disagreed: "This kid is not a good thing, he says it himself, and he often bullies people." The morning before yesterday, a woman asked an old woman among them to buy a broken bowl and torn clothes and give a piece of silver, and he also robbed it, and the old woman robbed all the money. ”

Shen Changfeng disagreed, "Then you shouldn't ...... either"

Originally, everyone listened to Tang Tang casually, but when they heard this, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other.

Shen Lingjun interrupted Shen Changfeng's words: "Ah Feng, you wait." Turning his head to look at Tang Tang: "What did you just say, a woman asked them to buy beggar's clothes and bowls." ”

Tang Tang soaked the rice balls in soy milk and nodded: "He said it himself." ”

Su Musha turned the teacup in his hand and said, "We haven't been able to find the old woman begging, could it be that someone is dressed in disguise?" ”

"Quite possibly." Ye Qingzhi frowned and said: "Originally, I thought that she might beg for the first time, and I was a little ashamed to say it, but now that I think about it, she really doesn't behave like a beggar." ”

"If that's the case, she's even more suspicious." Shen Lingjun thought for a moment and looked at Mu Qing: "Do you remember this?" ”

Mu Qing looked at the sky and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Ah, I remembered, I went out to beg early the day before yesterday, and I didn't ask for anything when I came back at noon, but the strange thing is that Da Niu was not angry that time, and he still had a silver ingot in his hand, which was very happy." I thought it was a rich man who gave it to Da Niu, but later I heard that Da Niu was snatched from an old woman. ”

Zhao Qi took a sip of porridge and said disdainfully: "This big cow is not a thing." ”

Shen Lingjun frowned: "I didn't see an older woman in there." ”

"Oh, that old woman came from the north, stayed with us for two days, and has already gone to the first village." Mu Qing replied.

Shen Lingjun looked at Tang Tang very enthusiastically, but said to Shen Changfeng: "When you ask Tang Tang to solve the puppet Gu, ask Da Niu if he has seen the woman's appearance." ”

Tang Tang hugged his arms and hummed, "I didn't ask if I wanted to solve it." ”

The brother and sister looked at her together: "If you don't want to, you have to be willing!" ”

Tang Tang twisted his face: "I'm not going!" ”

Half an hour later, Tang Tang Shi Ran came back and said to everyone: "Da Niu said that the woman had her back to him and didn't see it. ”

Shen Changfeng asked her, "Is the puppet Gu solved?" ”

"Guess?" Tang Tang slipped back to his yard.

Shen Changfeng followed, ready to talk to her about life.

Su Musha said to Shen Lingjun: "That old woman may know. ”

Shen Lingjun beckoned, called Mu Qing, who was helping Qinghe clean up the dishes and chopsticks, to come over, and asked, "Do you remember what the old woman who was robbed of her silver by the big cow looked like?" ”

Mu Qing nodded affirmatively: "I still remember, we lived together for a few days, and the mother-in-law had a black mole on her face." ”

Shen Lingjun pinched his chin, turned his head and said to Su Musha: "It seems that we should go to the first village for a walk." ”

The first village in the world, the richest village in legends.

In fact, it is said to be a village, but the scale can be regarded as a town, there are a variety of shops in it, merchants from all over the world come and go, teahouses, restaurants, cloth villages, pawnshops are everywhere.

On both sides of the street, all kinds of hawkers are hawking along the street, and the crowd is bustling on the walkway. Standing by the railing, the boats in the river, the number of sails are competing, and the hundreds of boats are competing for the current.

Shen Lingjun and his entourage stood in front of the archway, looking at the five big characters on it, under the sun, the golden light was shining.

Tang Tang jumped off the horse, took two steps, and said with emotion: "It's the first time in my life that I've walked on gold. ”

As rumored in the outside world, a section of the main street under the archway of the first village is indeed paved with gold, and there are railings made of white jade on both sides. However, it is only a short road, and the stone slab is plated with a layer of gold, and it is not really paved with gold, but even so, it is very expensive.

Tang Tang squatted on the ground and picked: "Do you say this is worth it?" ”

Ye Qingzhi glanced down and said coolly: "Gold-plated, worthless." ”

Suddenly, several people rushed out of nowhere with weapons in their hands, pointed their spears at Shen Lingjun and them, and said with some eyes: "Where did you come from, why did you pick the gold on the ground, and what do you want to do when you come to our first village?" ”

Tang Tang clapped his palms and stood up, wrinkling his nose: "It's worthless, what's the big deal." ”

Zhao Kuo, who came to the first village with Shen Lingjun next to him, stood up and pointed at Shen Lingjun and said, "Lord Dali Siqing is here, you must not be rude." ”

Several people looked at each other and saluted together: "The villain doesn't know that it is Lord Siqing, and he has offended the adult." ”

Zhao Kuo explained: "Some people often come to the village to steal, and the village organizes some militia to guard it. ”

Shen Lingjun said clearly: "I see, Zhao Zhutou understands it very well. ”

Xiao Si beside Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "My lord doesn't know, Zhao Zhutou is the son-in-law of the first village. ”

Several people looked at Zhao Kuo together, and he spoke: "Humble Jing Fangxin, she is from the first village. ”

"I see." Shen Lingjun nodded, thinking that Zhao Kuo had lived in the county government office in the past two days and had no time to go home, so it was rare to be considerate, and said, "In this case, you go back to see your wife first, and then come back later." ”

Zhao Kuo said officially: "Thank you for your compassion, it's important to investigate the case." ”

Unexpectedly, people still didn't appreciate it, so Shen Lingjun followed him. I sent someone to Lei Chenghu's house before, but I didn't ask anything useful, so I asked Zhao Kuo to run at this time, after all, it is a person from a village, and it is more convenient to do things.

Zhao Kuo took the order to go, and Xiao Si deliberately took a step slower.

Xiao Si is a shrewd and lively person, he felt that Zhao Kuo just now was a little bit unkind to Shen Lingjun, and he was afraid that Shen Lingjun would be unhappy in his heart, so he said for him at this moment: "Don't mind, my lord, Zhao Tou has always been like this, and it is common for him not to go home for ten days and half a month when he is busy." ”

Shen Lingjun said with a smile: "It's okay, it is my luck to have Zhao Zhutou who is so busy with business that he forgets to sleep and eat." ”

When there were a few of them left, Tang Tang gossiped: "The relationship between their husband and wife is definitely not good." ”

Shen Ling was speechless, and Tang Tang, the little girl, didn't have a few good words in her mouth.

Zhao Qi kicked the horse's belly and said, "Find a place to settle down first." ”

Los Angeles opened his mouth and asked, "Find an inn to pack like before?" ”

Zhao Qi nodded, Luocheng was just about to go, but Su Musha stopped: "It's inconvenient to live in an inn with many people, so it's better to find a suitable house to rent." ”

Shen Lingjun looked at the battle behind, Qing and Chanyu accompanied Mu Qing in a carriage, Luo Cheng and Xi sat in front to drive, others rode with them, and a group of officials followed behind the carriage.

It was really inconvenient for so many people to stay in the guest house, so he high-fived and said, "Just do what Mu Mu said." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha went to find a house, and the others first found a teahouse to sit down and rest.

Ye Qingzhi watched Luo Cheng and the play lead the horse to drink water, and pulled the horse to feed the grass, and asked Zhao Qi curiously: "Why haven't you seen Kagura and Liangyue recently?" ”

Zhao Qi poured her a cup of tea and said, "Let them do something." ”

Ye Qingzhi picked up the teacup, tilted her head, and said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Qi looked around, leaned over to her, and said, "A few days ago, Lao Luo sent a letter saying that a group of unknown people had mixed in Luoyang City, and he suspected that they were foreign spies, so I asked him to check the details." ”

"I see." Ye Qingzhi was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You don't go back." ”

Zhao Qi drank it all with the teacup, and said casually: "With Lao Luo here, there is no mistake." ”

Ye Qingzhi looked at him: "So confident? ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, I know my people best." ”

On the next table, Tang Tang propped his head and watched Zhao Qi and Ye Qingzhi talking to each other, and wondered, "When did he get so good?" "Did she miss something?

Shen Changfeng took a sip of tea, glanced at the table next to him, and said to Tang Tang: "The general and Miss Ye are still very compatible. ”

Tang Tang threw his body on the table, turned his head to look at Shen Changfeng and said, "Yes, I think so too, it's just that Zhao Qi is not very good, so I won't help him match." ”

Shen Changfeng said with a smile: "Don't mess around, just help." ”

On the side, Qinghe stuffed Mu Qing with a piece of halva candy, and said with a smile: "Young Master Feng, what do you think of our young lady and Su Gongzi?" ”

Tang Tang tilted his head, threw the peanuts into the sky, then fell into his mouth, chewed it, and interjected: "The love tokens have been exchanged, do you still need to ask?" ”

Qing and Chan Yu exclaimed in unison: "Is there such a thing?!" ”

Shen Changfeng looked surprised: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Yes." Tang Tang described it to them vividly, and said to Qinghe: "I don't believe it, you go back and see if Shen Lingjun sleeps with a jade pendant every day." ”

Chan Yu propped her chin and said, "The day before yesterday, I said that the token on Miss's body was missing, and Miss told me that she lost it." ”

Qinghe said happily: "I'll go and write a letter to my wife." ”

Shen Changfeng felt that just listening to what Tang Tang said was not very reliable, so he stopped: "Don't say it yet, it won't be good if you misunderstand." ”

At this time, it happened that Shen Lingjun and Su Musha came back to find them after finishing their business, because there were many people on the road, the two of them led the horse and walked slowly, sometimes putting their heads together and whispering, sometimes looking at each other and chuckling.

Tang Tang pointed forward: "See for yourself." ”

"Can't be wrong, that's what happened." Qing Hele said happily, thinking about writing a letter to his wife for a while to report the matter.

So, without Shen Lingjun knowing, this matter was known to everyone who made trouble.

However, this is also a story for another time.
