Thirty-four. Mystery
"What do you think about that?" After sending away the people who were talking back and forth, Xiao Yifei looked at Yuan Shaokang very seriously, and at the same time did not forget to give him a look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people of the Li family have been monitoring their every move nearby, and naturally they have arranged for people to eavesdrop on their conversations, Xiao Yifei knows very well that this is a place of right and wrong, but he can only pretend not to know, those people are like flies, no matter what, they can't be driven away. Yuan Shaokang is also a very shrewd person, so he naturally understands Xiao Yifei's intentions, he sighed, first frowned and came to the door, and then slowly paced back, and said lightly: "These four are also people in the township, why can those people find them?" Presumably there are other reasons for this, right? For example, there is some kind of connection between that person and them, and as for what it is, we need to go back and investigate it seriously, and I think there must be some connection between that. ”
"Not bad." Xiao Yifei's face raised a big smile, and he really didn't let himself down, Yuan Shaokang is a person with a very fast brain, "Although until now, I can't tell who that person is, but I can also be sure that he must be inextricably linked with the government, you know, although those four people wore the wrong clothes of the officials, they can only blame their luck is too bad, and they just met me." It's unlikely that ordinary people will pay attention to such small details, and even if they do, they won't pay much attention to them, at least no one here has seen through their tricks, has they? In other words, if they didn't know the government, they wouldn't have gotten their hands on the clothes. Not to mention that ordinary tailors can't make the clothes of the officials without seeing the official documents of the government, and the clothes of those four people are obviously half-used, in other words, they should be clothes that others don't want, so I still hope that you can immediately investigate whether the clothes of the officials have been stolen......
"Actually......" Yuan Shaokang said with a little embarrassment, he glanced at Xiao Yifei with some embarrassment, and sighed after a while: "It seems that I was indeed too careless, because just a month ago, there was indeed a theft case in the county office, when we counted it, in addition to the loss of three newly bought quilts, there were also nine sets of clothes that were also dried outside, which were the clothes that had to be handed in again after cleaning." At that time, I also specially ordered someone to investigate, but I didn't find any clues. Speaking of which...... Were those clothes really deliberately stolen by those four people? ”
"Is it possible?" Xiao Yifei was taken aback, he never expected that something like this had happened earlier, and now that Yuan Shaokang said it, he was even more taken aback.
"Really...... I'm really careless, I'll go and let them check it out when I go back......" Yuan Shaokang's frustration was written on his face, and he patted his forehead again and again, "Alas, I thought it was those poor people who didn't have clothes to wear, so they took it away, so I didn't pay special attention to it...... If I had known this was the case, I would have investigated it to the end. ”
In fact, Yuan Shaokang did not have his hands free to immediately investigate the matter. A month ago, just in time for the county government to have a meeting, the whole county and even the neighboring counties rushed to join in the fun, plus there was also the second wife of the Li family with a few maids and attendants also rushed to join in the fun, as the parent official Yuan Shaokang, for fear that something would happen, after learning that the second lady of the Li family would also go there, in addition to the original manpower, and temporarily transferred the officials of the county to help, in order to prevent possible accidents. He himself went into battle in person, and he was very busy. When he heard that the clothes washed by the servants had been lost, he just sent someone to track them down, and did not pay attention to them. After all, the church will be a big gathering for the people, and it is normal for the church to have a few big girls, little daughters-in-law and even young men who run with the drama every year, not to mention just losing a few clothes? But listening to Xiao Yifei's inference, Yuan Shaokang's dark face turned pale, and he was half dead with regret.
"Speaking of which, the second lady of the Li family also went to the mansion?" Xiao Yifei frowned, just looked at Yuan Shaokang, waiting for their answer.
Yuan Shaokang nodded, "Yes." This has almost become a common practice, because the old man has always disliked the visit of officials since he came to settle here, so he will send his family to the regular church meeting in the county every year. ”
sent his own family to come forward on his behalf, although he was only his second wife, but it could be regarded as giving enough face to the county magistrate. Without waiting for Xiao Yifei to speak again, Yuan Shaokang continued: "Since the old man moved here, he has hardly gone out of the gate. That is, when Mrs. Li had her birthday three years ago, several sons and young ladies of the Li family all came back, and when he was leaving, he went out for the first time. On weekdays, except for the occasional trip to Xishan, I hardly go out. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded again, but didn't say anything. He knows Li Qingxiang's personality, but for so long, he has been locking himself in his home, what is it for? It seems that the rumor is not chasing after the wind, but before Lin Qingxiang is unwilling to mention it again, he and Yuan Shaokang can only pretend to be confused.
"What kind of friendship did you have with Li Gongzi? What do you think of him? Xiao Yifei finally brought up a topic that was not too serious and put this issue in front of Yuan Shaokang.
Also as children of a family, Yuan Shaokang and Li Changping grew up in different families, and their natural personalities are completely different. Xiao Yifei's evaluation of Li Changping is that he is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, but now, he seems to be a little skeptical that his views are really as objective as he imagined.
Yuan Shaokang thought about this question seriously, frowned for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Actually, I have only met him twice, and the last time was at the old lady's birthday banquet. How so? He is a well-educated son of a family, and he is very likable, especially the old lady, who is very fond of him, and he is a sentimental amorous son. However, if you don't hone it well, I'm afraid you can only live for the rest of your life. ”
"Sentimental? Are you sure? Xiao Yifei was amused by Yuan Shaokang's conclusion, which was a conclusion he couldn't understand anyway.
Yuan Shaokang nodded seriously and said, "Maybe, that's just my own conjecture." Because while everyone was celebrating, he was the only one hiding in the hibiscus pool in the back garden and shedding tears, and there were words in his mouth, and I happened to pass by there, so I remember it clearly. ”
