"For Luo Qiaoniang, Zheng Ping is very important." An Ying raised his head and said: "In the whole matter, Luo Youde and He Qing have a plan, Luo Youde is greedy for money, and he is reluctant to bring a large amount of money from private tea, and he wants to fly away with a large amount of money one day; He Qing coveted power and beauty, wanted to rise step by step with tea and money, and wanted to occupy Luo Xianniang. But Luo Qiaoniang is not, she just wants to save her sister, she wants to save the Luo family and the tea households in Shuanglin Village, but she doesn't want to involve her daughter and husband, so in this kind of pulling, she decided to fight with her life. I don't want her to die in a mess. ”

Su Huangzhe sighed low and said, "Zheng Ping donated a large amount of silver to the imperial court, and he was also a bitter master framed by Luo Qiaoniang, so the imperial court has approved his release along with other tea households. ”

An Ying paused and returned: "I saw him when I released the detainees that day. ”

Until sunset, An Ying twisted his stiff neck, looking at the pages of notes he had recorded, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

An Ying looked up and said to Su Huangzhe: "I'm going to a place, or Master Su will come along." ”

The two walked towards the north of the city in tacit understanding, and came to a small courtyard in front of which an old woman was washing some clothes.

An Ying asked at the door, "Granny Cheng, let me ask if your girl is here?" I went to her house and there was no one, so I passed by and asked. ”

The old woman didn't look up, but replied, "She's not here, you go to the bridge to have a look." ”

An Ying quickly ran towards the bridge, and Su Huang Zheren was tall and long-legged, and he easily followed behind.

On the other side of the bridge is a remote place in the north of Huzhou City, there are only a few sporadic shops, most of which are temporary small shops, selling cheap needles and threads or stoneware bowls and pots. An Ying stopped and said, "Master Su, don't go over. You can look at this place when you go over, and you can wait for me here. ”

Su Huangzhe looked at her sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile.

An Ying quickly found the only tea shop on the street, and when she entered the door, she took a look, and all the tea sold was coarse tea, some of which were scattered in baskets without suppression. She looked at the tea leaves and asked casually: "Your tea looks coarse, but the raw materials are not bad, but the picking time is later." ”

The guy in the store greeted him and said, "Girl, good eye. My family's tea is all from Gu Zhushan, although it is not the first few stubbles, but it tastes good. If you don't believe you, try it."

The guy quickly took out some loose tea and crushed it with the copper tea mill on the counter, An Ying looked at it and asked, "Your shop looks old, I remember that it was Cheng Niangzi when I came here before." ”

The guy smiled and said, "That's our host, she didn't come today." Our shop has been open for more than ten years, and although it is all coarse tea, we are cheap. ”

"Then your business must be good? I see that this area in the north of the city is also your shop. ”

"Not really, the neighbors around here are all coolies, and they can't eat a few bowls of tea. Hey, I spend all my energy on weekdays, and I earn some money just to fill my belly, but this tea soup is a bowl of belly, hehe, I'm hungry right away. The coolies were reluctant to eat tea. ”

An Ying asked again: "Then you are still holding the shop?" The proprietor has money. ”

The guy put the ground tea into a sieve and sifted it, and said: "Cheng Niangzi's house is at the bridge, hey, we don't know about the affairs of this owner." Come and pick a bowl, girl, and I'll light one for you. ”

An Ying drank the tea in the shop, and it tasted good, so she bought some of it very happily and wrapped it

I ran to the bridge. She easily asked about the house of the lady who opened the tea shop, and she chatted for a while with the woman who was doing the pulp washing work next to the house. It didn't take long for the door of the house to open, and two women came out, and the young woman was none other than Na Zheng Ying. An Ying leaned against the wall, remembered Luo Qiaoniang's appearance, and let out a long breath.

An Ying rushed to another place without stopping, and she found the old servants of the Zheng family in their early years.

Su Huangzhe couldn't help asking, "Miss An, where did you learn this method of investigating cases?" ”

What popped up in An Ying's mind was the lawyer who taught him, "Don't shoot your shoes when investigating the case, follow the chain of evidence, and don't walk twice at a time." ”

She smiled, "I don't have a trick, I just follow the clues." ”

"Really? When newcomers enter the industry, they all follow the clues. But the clue is like a ball of hemp rope, and newcomers often spend a lot of effort, but they will only tie the hemp rope into a knot. You're different, peeling off the cocoon. If you haven't learned, you can only say that you have some talent. ”

An Ying was silent, just as the person she had made an appointment came, she beckoned the other party to sit down.

"Uncle Liu, I heard that you turned out to be a guard of the Zheng family? Yongkang was kicked out by the Zheng family in eight years? I heard that it was because of the unfavorable care that Master Zheng fell from the tea mountain? ”

Uncle Liu sighed, "Hey, why did you come to ask about this?" It's been so long......"

Su Huangzhe pushed over a small piece of silver, Uncle Liu smiled, pinched the silver and said, "It's been so long, but I still remember it clearly." On that day, Mr. Zheng went to Shuanglin Village to see his family's fine tea trees, and we escorted two people and Mr. Zheng's personal servant, a total of three people went to Shuanglin Mountain. This thing is really strange, I climbed for a while to look at Master Zheng, but when I got to the tree, he suddenly disappeared. We searched for a few mountains and couldn't find it? ”

"Have you really searched all over the mountain?"

"It's true. Hey, the people of the Zheng family didn't say that a few of us were negligent, so we lost Master Zheng. I swear to God, a few of us almost turned Shuanglin Mountain over that day, and we really didn't see Master Zheng. ”

An Ying had been to Shuanglin Mountain, and she dipped her fingers in some water and drew on the table, "Look, this tree is on the mountainside, usually from here, you and others have looked for it here?" ”

Uncle Liu nodded, "The southern slope of Shuanglin Mountain is not steep, but the woods are too dense, I dare to guarantee that Master Zheng will not be in the south that day." Later, the Zheng family also fined us a month's money, and I couldn't swallow this breath. I asked the clinic where he was later treated for his leg was a farmer surnamed Yao at the foot of the mountain. ”

Uncle Liu pinched the silver, "Hey, I haven't eaten in the morning, you see....."

"Come, bring us a lamb noodle with a plate of white cuts." An Ying understood that when she looked for this Uncle Liu, she also found that he was not very happy.

"That's embarrassing." Uncle Liu rubbed his fingers, thinking that he hadn't eaten meat this month, and his saliva began to secrete when he heard the name of the dish, and he touched his mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

After eating and drinking, Uncle Liu looked around and said in a low voice: "I later went to Shuanglin Village, and the family surnamed Yao lives in the north of the mountain. You know, right? Some time ago, the officers and soldiers came, and they were all sealed......"

An Ying and Su Huangzhe walked out of the tea shop, and An Ying said: "The family surnamed Yao in Shuanglin Village, I know who it is. ”

"Well, Yao Chengli. A farmer who makes private tea in Shuanglin Village, Luo Youde's confidant. ”

Su Huangzhe asked, "Are you going back to the capital now, or are you going somewhere?" ”

An Ying looked at the sun, "I'm going to go to Shuanglin Village again." ”

Su Huangzhe looked back at her, and his somewhat childish face showed a resolute expression.

Su Huangzhe smiled and faced the sun, "Okay, let's go together." ”
