"First, did you find anything unusual about your parents?"

This question is okay, Mo Jingchun thought about it for a while, and in Xie Hanqing's opinion, he seemed to be trying to recall.

"It's like. Something strange. ”

She hesitated, and Xie Hanqing encouraged her: "Talk about it, don't be afraid, everything you say can help me find out the cause of your father's death." ”

"During the wake, I found their coffins searched"

This can be regarded as avoiding the important and light, but Xie Hanqing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there anything missing?" Their relics and stuff. ”

"Nope." Mo Jingchun shook her head, what she said was also the truth.

Xie Hanqing was slightly disappointed, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" What else is there or someone that strikes you strange? ”

"Not long after, some officials came to the village, saying that the county government had lost something and that the thieves had fled to our village. They searched the entire village, but they couldn't find it. Her eyes were sincere, "Master Xie, you and they are both officials, so are you together?" ”

"Official? Is there a portrait of the suspect? ”

"Nope."

"Then you're going to search for them?" Xie Hanqing wanted to laugh a little, people in this kind of uncivilized place are really ignorant and easy to deceive.

"I know." It seemed that he couldn't ask anything, so Xie Hanqing gave up.

Thinking that he was really confused, he actually hoped to ask for some clues in a little girl.

In fact, when Xie Hanqing saw Mo Jingchun on the edge of the Li River for the first time that day, he felt that she was familiar, he studied the file of Mo Changlin's case, and naturally investigated this person's life and family, but he was not sure at the time, so he tentatively asked her if she was from this town.

Later, on a whim on the way to Mojia Village, he didn't take a carriage, he planned to ride with the people, and by the way, he inquired about some news, and then met Mo Jingchun again, and he basically determined that this little girl was the daughter of Mo Changlin and his wife, Mo Jingchun.

Sure enough, she heard another woman who was traveling with her call her Chun'er.

He stopped poking at other people's sad things, changed his mild face, and took out a piece of silver: "Little girl, thank you for your cooperation, this official will live up to his promise and give your Mo family justice." ”

At present, any rumors of Mo Changlin's case have been suppressed by him, so Mojia Village still doesn't know that Mo Changlin is in trouble.

"Master Xie, what are you doing?" The ingot of silver was shiny and shiny on the table, and she was stunned.

"The little girl forgot the food money for me and the three of my subordinates?"

"No, no." The other party has identified themselves, and it will not be good to collect money by themselves.

Mo Jingchun insisted that he take back the silver, and said: "Farm food, it's not worth much, adults can eat it openly, as long as you don't dislike coarse tea and light rice." ”

"No, no, no." The other two were busy.

She went to the kitchen to work, Xie Hanqing sat in place, thinking about the results of the secret visit in the past few days.

He came to Mojia Village twice, and he really didn't find anything, could it be that Mo Changlin didn't have any clues left?

He remembered the suspicious actions and signs of the Wuling County Palace, and still trusted his own judgment.

At the end of last year, the kings went to Beijing for a banquet, in order to make the queen mother happy, all the princes took turns to give gifts, and the queen mother really showed a sad face.

In particular, the golden Buddha statue sent by the king of Jingzhou, which is one and a half high, is exquisitely carved, and is placed in the hall of eternal life.

In addition, there are other rare things from the mountains and seas, and the sage can't help but wonder what kind of windfall the Jingzhou palace has made.

This check came and went to find the head of the Wuling County Palace, the King of Wuling County is a foreign surname king, which was not welcomed, but in recent years, the relationship with the Jingzhou Palace has become closer and closer.

The king of Jingzhou is the younger brother of the saint, and his identity as the king of the county naturally rises with the tide.

Wuling County is under the rule of Jingzhou, and it is not a strange thing that the county king's mansion is backed by the palace, but the strange thing is that since the king of Wuling County took refuge in the king of Jingzhou, the king of Jingzhou has become generous every time he makes a move.

Checking the accounts of the two governments, I can't find anything, and they are all very normal on the surface.

This is a suspicion that has remained in the hearts of the saints for the past few years, and since the golden Buddha was born last year, it has become even more vigorous.

Gold mining has always been a scarce resource for the imperial court, where did the king of Jingzhou get such a statue? It's okay to buy it from time to time, but it's not good if you don't report it privately and make your own profits.

As the secretary of the criminal department, he has always been the confidant of the saint, and Mo Changlin's death seems inconspicuous this time, but he happened to be in Jingzhou, and found that the Wuling County Mansion and a famous money village in Jingzhou are particularly closely related, called Cuihong Money Village.

The accounts of this Cuihong Money Village are also very beautiful, but he just feels that something is wrong, so he does not hesitate to invite the household department to eat several meals before asking the other party to help him look at these accounts.

The head of the household department has gone through it earlier, this is the work of the inventory at the end of each year, and the use and appropriation of the clan must be checked by them.

Originally, he thought that it was nothing more than to read it again, but Xie Hanqing asked him to check it carefully, and he was disgusted with his old friend's troubles, and on the other hand, he carefully went through all the accounts of these more than a dozen thick self-scenes and the first year, and he had been reading them for three days and three nights, and he really saw the clues.

Originally, when they were liquidated separately every year, they went through the motions, and their household department couldn't see anything if there was no big problem on the surface, but when the accounts of these families were put together in the past ten years, it was easy to see the fraud.

Xie Hanqing was thinking about it, when Gao and the others came back, they were stunned when they saw a stranger in the furniture.

Mo Jingchun poked his head out of the kitchen, Xie Hanqing shook his head at her, and she said, "Grandma, this is Mr. Xie who came to the village to find the village chief to do something, and the village chief let our family have lunch." ”

Their identities were not stated.

"Oooh. Such. Gao breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he wasn't a bad person.

The lunch was much more hearty because there were three more people, but because of the confiscation of the food money, Mo Jingchun didn't bother to prepare any precious ingredients, all of which were freshly pulled from the vegetable garden behind.

When the dishes were served on the table, such as braised pork bones with red and white radish, scrambled eggs with tender leeks, fried toon, white sliced chicken, and fried tofu, Xie Hanqing actually ate his mother's craftsmanship.

It is such a simple and simple dish that has sent him to his current position since he was a child and when he became an adult.

Although he is a high-ranking official, how can a cold and boring palace banquet be compared to a bowl of local chicken soup with fresh sesame oil?

His mother had passed away seven years ago, and he hadn't tasted it for a long time.

Mo Jingchun also thought that people like him who had been a big official for a long time would not be accustomed to eating the rough food of the village, but he didn't expect that the more the other party ate, the more fragrant it became, and even the two subordinates ate it with relish.

Her sense of accomplishment as a cook is satisfied again!

After a meal, Xie Hanqing no longer stayed, he had been delayed for too long in Mojia Village and Baishan Town and there was no progress, now, it was time for him to go to Wuling and Jingzhou to have a look.
