Chapter 20: Male and Female Rabbits

Xue Nuo looked at the smiling fool in the green shirt on the other side, and covered his expressionless face when he lowered his head, and when he was about to drink tea with a smile, her eyes rolled and she suddenly stretched out her hand, and a claw landed on Shen Qi's head, and it flicked down with a "bang".

Shen Ke: "......"

The door of the brain is red.

"Xerno!" Shen gritted his teeth.

Ha ha!

Xue Nuo turned around and slipped away, jumping directly outside the pavilion like a rabbit, and crashed into Jiang Cheng's arms who happened to come over.

She subconsciously wanted to roll over when she fell backwards, and when she realized that Shen was still watching behind her, she could only force her body to react, and then Jiang Cheng grabbed the back of her neck.

Jiang Cheng was about nine feet tall, and Xue Nuo was a little man in front of him, waving his hands on his toes off the ground when he was carried by the back of his neck, and kicking on his legs, but he didn't touch the ground.

When her face turned red, she heard Shen Qi laughing in the courtyard.

"The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred?"

“……”

As an illiterate and ridiculed, Xue Nuo has a blank face, she wants to kill this nerd!!

Jiang Cheng was also thundered by his son-in-law's words, looked down at the hare he was holding in his hand, couldn't help but shake his shoulders, and let go of his hand when he met her angry eyes.

Xue Nuo landed and kicked him in the shin, turned and ran.

Jiang Cheng: "......"

Who did he recruit and provoke whom?

Shen laughed so hard that he almost couldn't hold the cup steadily.

When Jiang Cheng rubbed his legs and walked over, he could still see the smile on his son's face, and he rarely saw his son so happy.

Thinking of the appearance of the child jumping away angrily just now, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, in fact, Shi An said it was good, it was interesting to listen to when this child was not fierce.

He turned to Shen and said, "Childe, Master Tao is here." ”

Shen said, "Please come over." ”

When Tao Ji was led over by his subordinates, he saw the extremely elegant and exquisite scenery in the courtyard, and he sighed in his heart that this willow garden was worthy of being the best garden in Qi Town, and at the same time glanced at the person who led the way in front of him, and he could see that this person was a practitioner.

In the past few days, when he sent people to search for Qiu Changqing, Shen also sent people over to help, although he didn't find the Qiu Changqing who ran away, but Liu Yuan's subordinates helped him break through the hiding places of two kidnappers, and even arrested several traffickers who were involved in several cases.

Tao Ji looked at the people in Liu Yuan and was extremely greedy, if it weren't for the people who knew the Shen family and couldn't touch it, he would have wanted to dig up the foot of the Shen wall.

Waiting into the pavilion, seeing Shen Qi waiting there, Tao Ji hurriedly collected the little caution in his heart, and arched his hand towards Shen Ke: "Shen Gongzi." ”

"Master Tao doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

After Tao Ji took his seat, Shen took the teacup sent by Xue Nuo on the table and poured him a cup of tea, and then handed it to Tao Ji, "Lord Tao, please use tea." ”

Tao Ji was a little flattered, although this Shen Changyuan's official position was not high, he was the prince's companion, and he was the son of the young master and the grandson of the Shen family, and his status was extremely high even among the sons of the family in Beijing.

Being a corporal of Lixian by a person like him, Tao Ji, who was a mere eight-grade county commander, only felt extremely comfortable all over his body.

The entrance of the tea, with a faint floral fragrance, Tao Ji couldn't help but his eyes lit up slightly: "This tea is good, is it mixed with persimmon flowers?" ”

Shen Ke heard that the corners of his mouth raised slightly, remembering that he just casually said the day before yesterday that the impimhension flowers were like snow and the fragrance was pleasant, Xue Nuo didn't know where to get this persimmon fragrant tea, and even the sachet hanging on his body was secretly replaced with sun-dried persimmon flowers.

He was in an inexplicable mood, and said with a smile: "Master Tao is keen, and it is indeed a persimmon flower." ”

Tao Ji smiled: "I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to like this kind of fragrant tea." ”

"The vegetarian tea is delicious, and it has a unique flavor when you drink something else." Shen smiled.

After the two exchanged a few words, they got to the point.

Tao Ji put down the teacup and said to Shen Ke: "Thank you Shen Gongzi for lending someone to the lower officials in the past few days and helping the lower officials search for the thief, but unfortunately Qiu Changqing has no whereabouts after committing the crime, and he has not found anyone in the entire Qi Town." ”

"I'm afraid he's already left Qi Town." Shen said.

"Xiaguan thinks the same way."

Tao Ji sighed lightly, "The Hu family's matter is also tricky, then Qiu Changqing plotted to kill Hu Rong to seek revenge, and those who are familiar with him refuse to reveal his appearance." ”

"He went to the southwest more than ten years ago, and now he has no relatives here, and looking for him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Without a portrait, it is difficult to even issue a wanted warrant for other local authorities to help search for it.

Shen twisted his fingertips lightly: "I remember that he didn't get into the Hu family as an errand before, and no one in the Hu family has ever seen his appearance?" ”

Tao Ji shook his head: "Xia Guan has already asked people, then Qiu Changqing is afraid that he has already made a plan to attack Hu Rong before going to the Hu family, so he has hardly spoken to anyone, and after entering the Hu family, he mostly bowed his head and did things." ”

"The descendants of the Hu family only remember that he was a little hunchbacked, his face was dirty, and he looked honest."

Tao Ji said as he spoke, and he was helpless first.

This Qiu Changqing made it clear that he was going to Hu Rong, avoiding the opportunity to be seen early in the morning, and the Hu family did not recruit workers through the hands of the tooth line, and most of the people who went were refugees.

They wanted to be cheap and trouble-free, and because it only took half a month to deal with the marriage between the eldest lady of the Hu family and the uncle of Pingyuan, these people didn't want it, so they didn't even sign a contract.

In the end, except for knowing that there is such a person as Qiu Changqing, nothing else can be found.

After Tao Ji finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ke: "Xia Guan thinks about it, if he wants to find Qiu Changqing, I'm afraid he can only find a way in the southwest, he has gone to the southwest to join the army before, can you think from this side?" ”

Shen said directly: "This road doesn't work, not to mention that the southwest is so big, there are many places that can join the army, and there were several large-scale wars in the southwest a few years ago, and people who were killed and wounded and discharged from the army abounded." ”

"What can be recorded in the army is ranked, and you don't have the authority to ask the army to help check people."

Seeing Tao Ji looking at him with blank eyes, Shen said bluntly,

"I'm not going to look it up."

Tao Jiyan's face collapsed instantly, and if Qiu Changqing could not be found, there was no way for the Hu family to continue the case.

Shen couldn't help frowning when he saw his dejected appearance: "Master Tao, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Tao Ji said: "Shen Gongzi, please speak." ”

"In this case, are you getting the priorities wrong?"

Tao Ji was stunned.

Shen looked at him: "Although Hu Rong was hurt by people, the reason for this case is that Hu Rong harmed people's lives in the first place." ”

"Hu's furniture to open a black mine is a violation of the imperial court's laws, Hu Rong killed the Qiu family, Mrs. Hu shielded him, although Qiu Changqing's revenge methods are cruel, but there is a reason for it."

"If Lord Tao can catch Qiu Changqing, he should naturally follow the law to ask for the crime, but now that he is gone, Lord Tao is obsessed with him, shouldn't he deal with the Hu family who has someone to die first?"

Tao Ji understood what Shen Ke meant, his face changed, and he didn't speak for a while.

Shen Ke's eyes sank slightly: "Master Tao should always feel that there is no need to pay for killing people?" ”

"Of course not!"

Tao Ji looked at Shen but his eyes were slightly gloomy, and hurriedly said, "Of course, Hu Rong should be questioned for murder, but Shen Gongzi also knows that he can't even pass through the court in his current situation, and the lower officials can't carry a waste person into the county government to convict and behead ......."

"He can't, what about the rest of the Hu family?" Shen interrupted directly.

"This ......," Tao Ji said hesitantly avoiding his eyes, "This matter is the crime of tolerating one person, and the rest of the family doesn't know about his private black mine." ”

Shen Ke's face instantly turned cold.

Tao Ji is excusing the Hu family, and the Hu family is afraid that they have already found a way to settle those bitter masters, and even reached an agreement with Tao Ji.

As his smile dissipated, the corners of his mouth turned sharp on his face,

"If you want to open a black mine privately, the relationship between all parties is dredged, the mine hires people, the gunpowder for digging the mine, and the various procedures and channels required for the sale of minerals, you can't do it without money and connections.

"I remember that Hu Rong confessed, the black mine was opened by him with someone, who was the person who opened it with him, and who did the mineral sell to, has Master Tao checked it?"

"And they dare to kill the people in the mine, no one sweeps their tails for them, where did they get so daring!"

Tao Ji was asked in a cold sweat by Shen Qi's words.

Shen said in a deep voice: "Even if Hu Shenglin doesn't know, what about Mrs. Hu, she shielded Hu Rong, killed Qiu Changqing's sister, and forced the old mother of the Qiu family to death, shouldn't she be blamed for such methods?" ”

"Destroying people is full of people, the methods are vicious, Lord Tao can exonerate them without knowing a word, I don't know that the laws of this Qi Town are different from other places in the great cause, and Lord Tao's ability to try cases is also extraordinary!"
