Chen Jinbao nodded, and then said to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, let me ask you one more thing, who does your wife usually contact with?" Where might she have been going in the past two days? ”

Yang Ming thought for a while and said: "Usually the lady doesn't go out much, and she doesn't have much intersection with anyone, and the villain really doesn't know where the lady will go in the next two days." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, and then said: "I'm sorry for you, we are now going to bring your family's heirloom money and the stack of painting paper on the table back to the yamen for investigation, and we will also trouble you to make it convenient." ”

Yang Ming said: "Okay, your lord, you can do it yourself." ”

Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui entered the house and took the copper coin, put the drawing paper into their chests, and told Yang Ming not to send it, and the two left Yang Ming's house.

All the way back, Chen Jinbao pouted, clasped his hands on his chest, and kept thinking about something.

After Wang Fugui saw it, he leaned over to Chen Jinbao and asked, "Master, have you thought of something?" ”

Chen Jinbao shook his head and said, "There are still things that I can't think of, and there are too many things I can't figure out." ”

Wang Fugui continued: "Master, tell me, what are the things you can't figure out? ”

Chen Jinbao put down his hands holding his chest, scratched the back of his head and said: "First of all, what does the dream Yang Ming mean, does it have anything to do with his daughter-in-law's disappearance?" And it's unclear whether that dream was real or he made it up. Also, where did his daughter-in-law go for two days after she disappeared? He didn't know what he had done or who he had met. I don't know where to start. ”

Wang Fugui bit his thumb and continued: "Master, he loves his daughter-in-law so much, he basically doesn't let his daughter-in-law do anything for a day." His daughter-in-law must be looking for someone to relieve her boredom if she is bored all day, let's start with other people in the village to find out, what do you think? ”

Chen Jinbao nodded, and then said, "Okay, just do it." ”

The two walked to the nearest farmer to Yang Ming's house, and saw an old man about sixty years old sitting at the door dozing off, and the two stepped forward and shouted, "Uncle." ”

The old man woke up and was startled when he saw two people in official uniforms. immediately got up from the stool and knelt in front of Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui, without speaking or speaking.

The old man's move startled Chen Jinbao, it may be that the old man has never dealt with the yamen in his life, or it may be that this old man knows something and is weak when he sees it.

Chen Jinbao hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "Old man, what are you doing here, we are just here to ask you something." ”

When the old man heard this, he knelt down again, but he still remained silent. Chen Jinbao thought to himself, is he thinking about how to greet me? Or did he really know something?

Chen Jinbao stepped forward to help the old man again, and then said, "Old man, you don't have to be polite, we are here to ask about something." Do you know the family that lives on the hillside? ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "My lord, you scared the grass people, and the grass people thought that they had made some mistakes and sued people, and the government came to arrest them." ”

Chen Jinbao said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

The old man was reassured, patted his knee and said, "That family, the man of that family is a good person." I work diligently every day, and I heard that he is a cook. ”

Chen Jinbao shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'm not asking about the man of that family, I'm asking the daughter-in-law of that family, do you know her?" ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Daughter-in-law? Oh, I think I've seen it, I haven't seen it a few times. My lord, what law did she violate? ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and said, "She didn't break the law, I just came to ask you, do you know her?" ”

The old man then replied, "My lord, how could I know a young daughter-in-law at such an age?" ”

"Hmm!"

The old man's words seemed to remind Chen Jinbao that he was starting to think about something.

After a while, Chen Jinbao, who came back to his senses, said to the old man: "I'm sorry for you, you can continue to rest." ”

Chen Jinbao said goodbye to the old man and continued to walk forward. At this time, Wang Fugui leaned into Chen Jinbao's ear and asked: "Master, this Yang Ming loves his daughter-in-law so much, and his daughter-in-law has nothing to do for a day, do you think she will .......?"

Wang Fugui wanted to speak and stopped, and Chen Jinbao continued: "It is very likely that she is very likely to have an affair with another man." We have always felt that these two have a good relationship, but maybe it is wishful thinking, and his daughter-in-law may not be very affectionate towards him. ”

Wang Fugui continued: "Master, what you said is right, in my opinion, we should ask the women in the village, these people love to chew their tongues when they have nothing to do, maybe they can give us some clues." ”

Chen Jinbao nodded vigorously, and the two walked directly to the village, and found that several women were gathered in a group, sewing clothes, and talking and laughing. The two men came forward, and when the women saw the two of them, they dispersed, and went their own way.

"Come back!"

Chen Jinbao shouted, and several women walked back in a gloomy manner. Before he could walk up to Chen Jinbao, Chen Jinbao asked, "What did you talk about just now, why did you break up as soon as you saw the two of us?" ”

As soon as Chen Jinbao asked, several women knelt down, and a woman in her thirties said: "My lord, the folk girls didn't talk about anything, just talked about some family things." ”

Chen Jinbao bowed his body and asked, "Then why don't you talk when you see us?" Keep talking, I want to laugh with you too. ”

Several women didn't dare to speak, and when Chen Jinbao saw this, he asked again: "I tell you that the official is investigating the case, if you don't cooperate, beware of the official taking you back to the yamen to ask." ”

Several women were frightened, and hurriedly said, Don't, don't, don't. There weren't many people in the village, but there were a few people around to see the excitement.

"My lord, the girls were talking about the daughter-in-law of the Yang family just now." A woman said.

As soon as Chen Jinbao heard this, he happened to be asking himself, and immediately asked: "Tell me, what did you just say?" ”

The woman continued: "Just now, when the girls saw Yang Ming taking you two into the village, they thought that something must have happened to his daughter-in-law, so the sisters got together and chatted. You don't know, that Yang Ming, often goes out early and returns late. That little daughter-in-law, she doesn't go out much all day long, and when she goes out, she finally sees her smile when she comes forward to say hello, and she doesn't like to talk much. Two days ago, I heard that she was missing. So, the sisters thought she must have run away with some man. ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he hurriedly asked a few women to get up, and then asked, "Doesn't she usually have contact with you?" ”

A woman replied, "My lord, this little daughter-in-law doesn't usually like to talk to people, but she only saw it once." The men in the family often saw that they went out very early every day and then came back after dinner. His little daughter-in-law is locked up at home all day long, and you say how lonely it is. The day before yesterday, that Yang Ming ran out of the door very early. At that time, when he saw someone, he asked where his daughter-in-law had gone? Did you say she ran away with someone else? Which guy ran away with? ”

The woman's eyes changed as she spoke, she was a little scared at first, but slowly turned into a look that seemed to want to ask something from Chen Jinbao's mouth. The mother-in-law who has nothing to do loves to inquire about these things.

Chen Jinbao was still thinking about how to answer the mother-in-law just now, and a mother-in-law asked again: "Also, my lord, just now the folk girl saw that Yang Ming's face was still a little injured." Who is it for? ”

Chen Jinbao raised his hand and said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't ask, his daughter-in-law is just missing, don't spread it around." ”

Several mothers-in-law saw that Chen Jinbao was angry, so they didn't ask again. And Chen Jinbao continued: "I want to ask you one thing, is there a woodcutter named Wu Jie in your village?" ”
