Chapter 85: The Truth About the Murder

Zhang Wei is the steward of this manor, and Ruan Wenqing is the housekeeper mother of Xie Zhiqing's side, and the two of them can't leave here, so this time only Ruan Ying went to Quxi County with Du Yunnuan.

Xie Zhiqing had already understood the reason, and at this time she also told Ruan Ying a few words, saying that she would wait for Ruan Ying to come back and continue to teach her piano and embroidery.

"Master, don't worry, after you leave, I will practice the piano and the female celebrity well, and Aunt Ruan can supervise me."

Ruan Ying reached out and touched Xie Zhiqing's head, with a look of relief.

Hu Hui couldn't stand such a parting scene the most, "It's time to go, we have to go to another place at noon, not in the county seat, and we will have to hurry later." ”

Du Yunnuan said goodbye to everyone, she didn't see Xie Chi, so she asked Xie Zhiqing to convey to Xie Chi, "Sister Xie, please talk to Brother Xie, I will try my best to do what he asked me to do." ”

Xie Zhiqing's eyes widened, "What did my brother tell you to do?" ”

Du Yunnuan smiled helplessly, "I haven't guessed it yet." ”

Xie Zhiqing wrinkled her nose, "I knew that my brother was very troublesome, and he had to let others guess if he asked others to do something." ”

Du Yunnuan smiled, "Sister Xie, then I'll go, and if you have a chance in the future, you can go to my house to play." ”

"Okay."

Hu Hui took Du Yunnuan, Ruan Ying, and Ah Yuan into the carriage together, he personally drove the car, and after leaving the bamboo forest, he did not go to Lengquan County, but went in another direction.

"Chang Lao Thief's heart is not dead, he chased him to the county seat, he just had a fight with us yesterday, and he said that they couldn't let them affect Gongzi Xie, so we went first."

After listening to Hu Hui's explanation, Du Yunnuan nodded and no longer bothered Hu Hui to hurry.

In fact, Hu Hui is now scolding his mother in his heart, their grandfather and Gongzi Xie kindly mentioned the matter of cooperation with Jiang Shangyun, but he didn't expect Jiang Shangyun to leak the news and attract Chang Mingda's people.

It seems that Jiang Dutong's life is not wanted!

Hu Hui cursed fiercely in his heart, the movements of his men were not slow at all, and the two horses ran fast.

Before noon, the group arrived at a relatively remote town, and the stone monuments at the head of the town were half broken, and Du Yunnuan only knew what this town was called.

There is not even an inn in the town, which is much more desolate than Luoqiao Town, where the Du family is located.

"Brother Hu, I think the county seat of Lengquan County is also very good, why is this town so dilapidated?"

Hu Hui carefully identified the marks that Yan Tingfeng and the others might have left for him, and replied wholeheartedly, "There are more places in this world that are poorer and more dilapidated than here, and there are even more desolate places in the north that are uninhabited within a radius of a hundred miles. ”

"Luoqiao Town is really good, and even the entire Quxi County is okay, otherwise how can your Zhou county commander be a county magistrate there for seven or eight years with peace of mind, because there is a lot of money you can make!"

Du Yunnuan pursed his lips, "What does Brother Hu mean is that it is impossible for Zhou County to leave Quxi County?" ”

"Then he doesn't say it, let's talk to Gongzi Xie before it is forgotten."

Hu Hui drove the carriage into an alley, and by the way made a silent action, Du Yunnuan had more questions in his heart, and it was not good to ask again, so he closed his mouth.

After arriving at the destination, Hu Hui drove the carriage directly into the courtyard, and then asked the three women in the carriage to get off.

Du Yunnuan waited in place for a while, and Hu Hui came back again, "Miss Du, our master wants to see you." ”

"Master Ruan, Ah Yuan, you go to the house to rest first, it's time for lunch later."

Du Yunnuan glanced at Ruan Ying, and when she saw that she was looking at her with some concern, she smiled and said, "Master Ruan, I'll go see Yan Houye, you have worked hard all the way just now, let's rest for a while." ”

Ruan Ying saw that Du Yunnuan had a very correct idea at a young age, and it was difficult to persuade him now that his identity was unknown, so he took Ah Yuan to clean up.

Du Yunnuan went to see Yan Tingfeng.

"Lord Yan."

Yan Tingfeng was looking at a book, and put it down when Du Yunnuan walked in, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's just a cold wind, just take a few pairs of medicines, what about Master Hou? Got it done? ”

Yan Tingfeng shook his head, but stopped talking about his own affairs, "I originally planned to let Hu Hui tell you about the things at your house, but he was too embarrassed, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it." ”

Du Yunnuan smiled.

"The one who did it to you was Chang Mingda's person who stayed in the Zhao family, and he is dead."

Du Yunnuan was taken aback, and was frozenized by Yan Tingfeng's understatement of the two words, and then reacted, this master came from the battlefield to fight with his current temperament, and a dead man is probably a very common thing for him.

"We investigated, the Zhao family has three sons, Zhao Dong, Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei, there is a man named Zhao Nan, and many widows in your village and nearby villages have committed adultery, it should be that once he and people are outside in the wild, you pass by, they think you found out, they want to kill you, so they teamed up with the same old way to make up what this year's drought is because of the sacrifice to the dragon king, and then pretended to say that observing your face and eight characters, you are the most suitable person, and then they are afraid that the Du family will not agree to send you out as a sacrifice, He will secretly knock you unconscious and float away from the river. ”

"According to Zhao Nan's plan, the bamboo raft carrying you is not strong, as long as you reach the mouth of the Danjiang River, you will definitely die, and you don't need to dirty his hands."

Du Yunnuan's heart turned cold all of a sudden.

Yan Tingfeng's face was as usual when she said this, even though Du Yunnuan didn't know what Yehe meant, she also knew that it was not a good word, she tried to recall that nothing strange happened during that time in Taoyuan Village, and she didn't bump into any strangers, not to mention that she didn't recognize Zhao Nan.

"Just because they think I saw it, they're going to kill me?"

"The widow who was with him that day was somehow seen by the rest of the village and spread out, and was sunk by you."

Du Yunnuan thought suddenly, she had heard about it, it was the Du family who said a few words casually, and when she wanted to ask, the adults said that children should not listen to her, so they didn't ask carefully, but they didn't expect it to be for this matter.

Du Yunnuan took a deep breath, "Because that widow died, Zhao Nan felt that I had told others about it, so he wanted to harm me." ”

"I've met that old man, I didn't meet at the entrance of the village that day, but he has been waiting for me there, no wonder I think he has a strange gaze, but it's a pity that I don't like this kind of person, I didn't look carefully at the time."

"As for my birthday, if there is collusion between the Zhao family and the Li Zheng family, it is not strange to ask my aunt about my eight characters, and with my aunt's character, maybe she will take the initiative to say it."

Yan Tingfeng knew that Du Yunnuan's analytical ability was very strong, and now he didn't think it was strange to listen to her string together the details in a few words.
