Chapter 29: Cousin
For the whole afternoon, Xu Zhen was not idle.
He changed into civilian clothes and first went to the vicinity of Li Laohan's house to collect information about Li Laohan's father and daughter, and through inquiry, he learned about the scholar who participated in the firefighting that day.
That person's name is Liu Wenbin, a talent from Linxian County, who is now studying at Xuanwu Academy in Yanping County, preparing to take the township exam next year.
And by chance, this Liu Xiucai and Miss Ailian's love fell in love at first sight, and they fell in love with each other, whether in the eyes of Li Laohan or neighbors, they had already been acquiescing lovers.
No wonder on the day of the fire, Liu Xiucai cried so sadly that he was almost crushed to death by the collapsed beam.
Through Xu Zhen's many inquiries, it has now been confirmed that under the leadership of this Liu Xiucai, more than a dozen relatives and neighbors of Li Laohan have followed him to the county government to file a complaint.
They not only had to sue Qiu Ba Amakusa for his life, but also accused the Yanping County Ya of harboring criminals, colluding with criminals, and conspiring to kill Li Laohan's father and daughter.
Although the county government is also afraid of the forces behind Qiu Batian, Xu Zhen believes that they should not sit idly by, and at least send someone over to go through a procedure.
Otherwise, once these people sue the state capital, it will be even more difficult to clean up.
Next, Xu Zhen went to several restaurants and inns opened by Qiu Batian to inquire about Qiu Batian.
Although the guys in the store didn't dare to talk nonsense, they were still tricked out by the shrewd Xu Zhen and got a lot of useful information.
For example, Qiu Batian's family used to have a conscientious old housekeeper, but for some reason, he was broken by Qiu Batian's legs, swept out of the house, and now he has become a beggar.
Also, what unconventional methods did Qiu Batian use in his annexation of so many restaurants and inns?
He travels all day long in the flower building and the teaching department, and what type of woman does he like the most?
Also, his family situation, and his relationship with the other three bullies, etc......
After inquiring about the information, Xu Zhen went to several places non-stop, such as buying paper money and incense, and going to a tomb somewhere in the suburbs to burn incense and worship; went to the cattle dealer Jia Yi's house to check the situation and so on......
It wasn't until the sun was sinking that he bought a bag of honey osmanthus cake and hurried to the splendid study.
The time was just right, and as soon as Xu Zhen arrived at the door of the study, he saw that his second cousin was coming out of it.
The conscience is the standard willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, cherry mouth, Qiong Yao nose, although Qianqian's thin waist looks a little weaker, but the unique elegant temperament still makes her stand out.
Accompanied by a young scholar Gao He, who was about ten years old.
Gao He held a stack of books and followed behind him innocently.
"Cousin?" Seeing Xu Zhen, he was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"The security has not been good lately," Xu Zhen said casually, "I came to escort my cousin." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the honey osmanthus cake.
"My cousin really has a heart," said the gentleman happily, "just two steps, and there are familiar neighbors along the way, so there will be no danger."
"I look at it......" The second cousin Bing Xue was smart, and said after smiling, "My cousin is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”
Terrible!
Xu Zhen secretly gave a thumbs up, he didn't expect his second cousin to be so observant, it seems that he didn't find the wrong person.
However, it is easy to be underestimated if you don't pretend to be forced, so Xu Zhen asked rhetorically: "Second cousin, should I ask you what you are saying?" ”
"Oh?" Sure enough, the effect of pretending to be forced was instantly full, and the girl asked curiously, "How can you see it?" ”
"Look," Xu Zhen explained, "you just came out of the study, your eyes have been staring at the ground at a slanted angle of forty-five degrees, your eyes are focused, your expression is solemn, and you have been muttering something in your mouth, which clearly looks like you have something on your mind." What, are you in love with which son? ”
"Poor mouth," the second cousin said with disgust, and then curious, "but you are not mistaken, but what does this oblique angle of forty-five degrees mean?" ”
"My cousin guessed really accurately," At this time, Gao He, the scholar in the back, interjected, "My husband was really thinking about things just now, but he was thinking about poetry pairs, not a wishful man, haha......"
Because she teaches in the study, she is also called Mr. even though she is a woman.
"Poetry pairs?" Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows, "What poetry pair?" Tell me about it? Maybe I will too! ”
"Okay cousin," he asked, "what are you looking for me, tell me directly, I'...... I still have some private money at home, how much do you need? ”
It seems that Xu Zhen thinks that Xu Zhen is going to borrow money from him again.
Hearing this, Xu Zhen was emotional and moved, the second cousin knew that her gambling debt was a bottomless pit, but she still chose to help herself without hesitation.
Therefore, I must work hard in the future and not live up to my cousin's kindness.
"No, it's not borrowing." Xu Zhen glanced at Gao He first, then pulled his conscience aside and said something in her ear.
"Huh?" After hearing this, he was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand, "This ...... This is unacceptable, this is a great crime......"
"Shhhhh......hh
Gao He frowned, although he was not very old, but through Xu Zhen's eyebrows and dancing expression, he still felt that Xu Zhen's cousin was not very reliable.
However, in the end, it seemed that Xu Zhen's conscience was explained by Xu Zhen and fell into hesitation.
After hesitating for a long time, her eyes finally lit up and said to Xu Zhen: "Since this is the case, why don't you see how the providence of heaven is?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "What do you mean?" ”
"I just have an absolute here," he said inquiringly, "as long as my cousin can give you the right one, then I will promise to help you, how about it?" ”
"This ......"
"It's impossible," Gao He muttered to himself on the side, "Even the fasting master said that it was absolute, and the gentleman had been thinking about it for a whole afternoon, it was impossible for anyone to match, let alone ......"
The immature eyes looked at Xu Zhen, obviously saying: What's more, you are a fast catcher with no ink on your chest?
Xu Zhen's ears were sharp, Gao He's words were all heard, and he suddenly became curious, it seems that the thing that the second cousin has been thinking about just now is the right pair.
"Okay," Xu Zhen said, "Then you can come and hear it?" ”
"This is the absoluteness that Xuanwu Academy gave us in the study," Gao He explained on the side, "Since it is absolute, it seems that there is no downlink!" Well...... Well...... Kaneki ...... Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, well......"
Obviously, Gao He wanted to say Shanglian, but he didn't remember it clearly at all.
"The iron rod lights the stove, and it is difficult to distinguish between gold, wood, water, fire and earth." In the end, I still said this absolute uplink with a conscientious heart......
