The mother-in-law looked around, as if she was afraid that others would hear the secret she told Chen Jinbao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, when I was passing by here yesterday, I saw Widow Zhou talking to a man, and the girl just hid and watched, ouch, the two of them talked and laughed, that man's name is Tong Jian, and he is a bastard who makes a living by working part-time jobs for others, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law in his twenties and thirties, you can tell me, he got into a bunch with a little widow, ouch.............."

Chen Jinbao interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, eldest sister, are you sure you saw this with your own eyes?" It's not up to anyone to say or speculate. ”

The mother-in-law replied, "Oh, what are you talking about, of course the folk girl saw it with her own eyes, and I originally planned to tell them about it." Coincidentally, yesterday my son was sick and didn't go out much, and today I was going to tell someone, who would have thought that the widow died this week, and everyone went home, and they couldn't meet two acquaintances on the street, so wouldn't it be cheap, you two listen first. ”

Chen Jinbao thought to himself, who is willing to be greedy for this cheapness.

"Okay, big sister, then tell us, where does that Tong Jian live?"

The mother-in-law pointed with her hand.

"Well, just turn the corner over there, and you see there's a dog in front of the door."

Chen Jinbao took a look, wasn't that the old man's house behind his ears? The ball of the county master's family disappeared there, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?

"Alright, thank you, big sister."

Chen Jinbao turned around and was just about to leave, when his mother-in-law stopped him again.

"Eh, my lord, I still have something to ask you, did you say that this widow Zhou was killed by Tong Jian? Do they really have a leg? Why did he kill Widow Zhou? Is it that Widow Zhou forced Tong Jian to marry her, and Tong Jian didn't do it, so ............"

Chen Jinbao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he pushed his mother-in-law away, and said, "How do I know, you just don't spread it around." After saying that, he pulled his legs and walked to the old man's house.

The two of them were about to walk to the door, and Wang Fugui said, "Master, we have been here twice, and it seems that the old man is alone in the house, and I don't see that kid." ”

Chen Jinbao didn't think much about it, and directly pushed the door into the courtyard, and at this time he found that the old man was eating with a young man in the courtyard.

An old man and a young man saw the two catchers, stood up and stepped forward to bow.

"Oh, you're here again, has the thief been caught?"

Chen Jinbao glanced at the old man, then moved his gaze to the young man, and asked, "You are Tong Jian, right?" ”

"Yes, my lord, what do you command?"

Chen Jinbao asked: "We have been to this house a few times this morning, but we didn't see you, where have you been?" ”

Tong Jian touched his head and replied, "Oh, the little one didn't have any work to do in the morning, so he went out to play, is there anything wrong with the adults looking for the little ones?" ”

Chen Jinbao looked at the dishes on the table, five dishes and one soup, three of which were meat dishes.

"Your family has a good meal, where did you go to play in the morning?"

Tong Jian smiled.

"Haha, go back to the adult, the little one was in the gambling house in the morning, and I went to play two handfuls with itchy hands."

Chen Jinbao nodded.

"Oh, then look at what your family eats, you won some money today, right?"

Tong Jian smiled and said: "Yes, my lord, the gods have blessed me for the past two days, and I have won some food and wine money, why don't you come back and enjoy it with my father, have you eaten, I will bring you two dishes and chopsticks if you don't eat." ”

Chen Jinbao waved his hand.

"No need, I just wanted to ask you, do you know that Widow Zhou?"

Tong Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Widow Zhou? Oh, little acquaintance, I heard that she is not already ............ That one. ”

Chen Jinbao looked at Tong Jian and smiled, and said, "That's right, she is dead, I came here for this, do you know how she died?" ”

"Do I know .............."

Tong Jian reacted immediately, and knelt down for Chen Jinbao with a "bang".

"Sir, don't you think I've killed someone, do you?"

As soon as Tong Jian knelt, his father also ran over and knelt down when he saw it.

"Oh, my son, he, he, he, why did he kneel?"

Chen Jinbao looked at the two fathers and sons, and felt that being a father was basically deaf, if the county lord's ball was kidnapped by this Tong Jian, he would definitely be able to do it without knowing it.

Chen Jinbao helped the two fathers and sons up, and then asked Tong Jian: "Tong Jian, let me ask you, have you been in the gambling house all the time before you have come back now?" ”

Tong Jian stood up with his father in his arms and said, "It's not an adult, the little one won some silver in the gambling house, and then he went to the tavern to drink, and then came back." If you don't believe me, you can go to the West Street Tavern and ask. ”

Chen Jinbao nodded.

"Okay, then let me ask you again, do you have anything to do with that widow Zhou? I heard that you were chatting with Widow Zhou yesterday. ”

Tong Jian looked back at the old man, and then said to Chen Jinbao: "My lord, this villain does have some thoughts about Widow Zhou, after all, the villain is almost thirty years old and has not married a daughter-in-law, but you know that there are many rights and wrongs in front of this widow, and the little one has never found a suitable opportunity to tell Widow Zhou about this, and now she is gone." Hey, it's all fate. ”

Chen Jinbao hugged his hands and frowned and thought for a while, there are still too few clues at present.

"Okay, thank you, but I want to ask you, you should know that Widow Zhou had a daughter before her death, and I want to ask you if you are willing to raise her as your own daughter?"

Tong Jian's expression looked a little embarrassed.

"My lord, this ............. The younger one still wants to marry a daughter-in-law, this is really ............."

Chen Jinbao understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll just ask, thank you, goodbye."

After speaking, Chen Jinbao turned around and left Tong Jian's house.

Walking outside, Chen Jinbao still looked back, he felt that this Tong Jian was very suspicious, but he couldn't find clues to prove his thoughts.

"Master, what should we do now?" Wang Fugui asked.

Chen Jinbao shook his head.

"I don't know, there are a lot of things going on now, and these things seem to be related, but I can't find a connection."

Wang Fugui's brows furrowed, he bit his thumb, and then said: "Master, at least I feel that the disappearance of the county lord's young lady is likely to be related to this family, and the son of this family is related to the murder." ”

Chen Jinbao frowned.

"You can think of it this way, but the key is what they kidnapped the county master's balls for? I don't tell my family about the money. What kind of enmity does the county master have with this family? Is it really because the family has no meat to eat that she was tied up? The plates of meat on his table are really the daughters of the county master's family? ”

After listening to Chen Jinbao's words, Wang Fugui had a bitter look on his face.

"Okay master, the more you talk about it, the more disgusting it becomes, I mean, will it be destroyed?"

Chen Jinbao looked back at Wang Fugui and asked, "Do you want to say that she is dead?" And what about corpses? And most importantly, why did you die? ”

Wang Fugui replied: "Master, I just suspect that if you ask her why she died, I wonder if it was to seal her mouth?" ”
