Wen Chang has spent far more time in the capital than Huo Yu in the past few years, Ming Hui did not beat around the bush, and directly asked Wen Chang about the son-in-law of Dong in the third room of the Chengen Mansion, and by the way, there was no grudge between Huo Zhanpeng, the Marquis of Changping, and the second master of the Chengen Mansion.

If Huo Zhanpeng was not Huo Yu's father, Minghui would not bother to care about his business, but Huo Zhanpeng and Huo Yu were biological father and son, and Minghui couldn't pay attention to him if he didn't want to.

Wen Chang didn't expect Minghui to ask him about Huo Zhanpeng, let alone Minghui to ask about the Chengen Mansion, and he was suddenly a little glad in his heart, Huo Bao finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and the little daughter-in-law was planning for him.

"The small third room of the Chengen Mansion is a concubine, and there is no sense of existence in the mansion, and the son-in-law surnamed Dong is also a shrewd person, but unfortunately his ability in that room is limited, and he has helped him to the sixth grade, and he can only rely on himself to go up. It was the Qingke surnamed Yang, but it was the Qingke of the Sun family's uncle. ”

Minghui smiled, the uncle and the second master of the Sun family are like fire and water, sure enough, the one who knows you best is always your enemy.

Look, the matter of the second master will be told by the uncle's Qingke.

"Then before the Marquis of Changping and Second Master Sun, did they have a relationship?" Minghui asked.

"I don't know this, as far as I know, the relationship between the Marquis of Changping and the Chengen Mansion is very ordinary, and the lord of Dingxiang County, Ping Suri, also takes his children back to his parents' house by himself, and the Marquis of Changping rarely goes back with her." Wen Chang thought for a while and said.

Minghui didn't delve into this matter anymore, she still had a lot of business to do.

She asked Steward Lu to invite someone to come to see Feng Shui, and selected a place where she could dig a cellar in the back cover, so she asked people to dig a cellar in the yard, digging the cellar here, and turning the back cover room into a workshop, and in the new house in Yuexiu Hutong, she also built one like this, so that she could come to the capital again and make incense when she had nothing to do.

At this time, the people sent out finally had an echo, and the first to come back were Meng Dahai and Meng Xiaohai brothers.

They took the pattern of the hairpin and made a secret visit, and they came back two days ago to bring the hairpin, and today they came back with the hairpin and the news they had heard.

Meng Dahai's water supply was not good, so Meng Xiaohai reported to Minghui.

"It turns out that this bamboo hairpin looks the same, but in fact, they are different, we have seen more than a dozen kinds in the shop, all of which are different from ours. Later, I finally found an old shopkeeper, he said that he had seen this kind of when he was young, but then it was popular in the south of Su sample, there was no master to do this kind of again, this is our northern style, after his introduction, we found an old jade craftsman in his seventies, he asked us to take the hairpin to show him, we took the hairpin over, he looked at it for a while, and then took out a jade jewelry he treasured to compare, and finally determined that this hairpin is a hairpin that was popular more than 50 years ago.

The so-called knot hairpin, is the meaning of the husband and wife's knot, this hairpin is a pair, there should be a same, this knot hairpin is not placed in the shop of the spot, are their own jade, please craftsman custom, two hairpins from the same piece of jade, the hairpin was ordered back then, are used as a token.

However, this kind of hairpin was only popular for a while, and then no one cared about it. ”

Ming Hui calculates the time, fifty years ago, this was almost when Dr. Feng was young, could it be that Dr. Feng still has a long-lost daughter?

And that daughter looks exactly like Feng?

The next to come back was Zhu Jie, the woman stayed in Baoding a few years ago, Minghui didn't expect Zhu Jie to find more clues in Baoding, but Zhu Jie didn't return empty-handed.

"I let people see the portrait in the inn, but no one remembers whether there was such a person staying here, and then I went to the official post, and so on, when I was about to put away the portrait, suddenly someone asked me to wait, I looked, he was the official of the Baoding Mansion to deliver the letter, he said that he seemed to have seen the person on the portrait.

He said that he used to be in the county government, but he was only transferred to the government last year, and this woman was met when he was in the county government.

The reason why I can still remember it now is because the woman cried and fainted in the yamen at that time, and it was Lang Zhong who he helped invite, out of gratitude, the mother-in-law next to the woman quietly stuffed him with a tael of silver, which was seen by others, and slaughtered him for a meal, one tael of silver was not enough, and he also lost several dollars. ”

Minghui was stunned, frowned, and said, "Crying and fainting in the yamen?" The official remembers the exact time. ”

She still remembered that the mother-in-law said at that time that their master and servant only stayed in Baoding for a short time, so why did they go to the yamen?

Zhu Jie nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhu Jie said the time, Minghui was stunned again, this time was a month later than she met the pair of master and servant!

In other words, the master and servant did stay in Baoding for a short time, but a month later, they returned.

"Why did she go to the Yamen?" Minghui asked.

Zhu Jie said: "She went to find someone, that person's name is Ye Ting, and he is her son." Ye Ting has not heard from him for two years, and the last person who saw Ye Ting said that he had come to Baoding, but she asked someone to come to Baoding to inquire, but she learned that Ye Ting had been killed, and the eucalyptus had already been broken, and the murderer had been punished.

She didn't believe it, so she came to the county government in person, and the master checked the eucalyptus sect, saying that there was indeed a scholar who was killed half a year ago, and the small seal that the scholar carried with him was called Ye Ting, and the murderer was a beggar.

At that time, because he didn't find a guide on Ye Ting's body, he didn't know where he came from, so he had to hand over the body to Yizhuang, which should have been buried in a mass grave.

The small seal was stored in the yamen as physical evidence, and the woman thought it was the same name and surname at first, but after seeing the small seal, she fainted to death, and her mother-in-law said that the small seal was carved by her wife for her son.

After the woman woke up, she walked out of the yamen with the help of her mother-in-law, and when she left, her mother-in-law carefully asked where Yizhuang and the mass grave were, thinking that she was going to look for the grave. ”

This was too unexpected for Minghui.

A woman who looks exactly like Feng's, her son was killed in Baoding!

Minghui calculated the time, when Ye Ting died, she was still in Yunmeng Mountain.

Zhu Jie said dryly, drank the tea in the cup in one go, and continued: "The official knows only so much, so I found an opportunity to catch up with the master of the county government, the county master of the year has been promoted, and the master has also changed to a new one, this master does not know what happened back then, but he is also a good talker, the next day, he found this eucalyptus in the eucalyptus room, and the eucalyptus made up the memory of Ye Ting's mother to find the son, and confirmed the token, confirming that the deceased was indeed Ye Ting, a native of Yuhang. ”

Hearing Zhu Jie say that the master was easy to speak, the corners of Minghui's mouth hooked, how could there be anything to talk about, it wasn't a benefit.

But then when she heard the three words of Yuhang people, Minghui's eyes widened, Yuhang people? What did a Yuhang man do in Baoding?

By the way, the deceased was a scholar, a scholar? Travel? Minghui still remembers that Wu Tong once went out to study, so it is common for scholars to travel to study?
