Xia Yue was extremely glad that he listened to Ye Caitang's idea and made Ruhui Shitai a victim. Otherwise, if he said that Ruhui Shi was too likely to be a murderer, he would have been drowned by the villagers' rotten eggs and cabbage gangs by this time.

Sure enough, Ye Caitang was able to get the snacks sent by the villagers, and there was a reason why they could only get white eyes.

The people in the village have more or less received the favor of Mrs. Ruhui, Ye Caitang and they listened for a long time, listened to the villagers' gossip and reminiscences, and found that she had indeed done a lot of good deeds.

At least in the decades of seclusion in Nanshan, as long as the people in the village encountered difficulties and came to ask for help, or encountered villagers in need of help in the mountains, they would try their best to help and never shirk.

It's nothing once or twice, but after a long time, the number of times will naturally increase, if Master Hui is too low-key, everyone will remember it.

For a moment, there was a cry in the village.

Xia Yue and a few subordinates stood aside expressionlessly, Ye Caitang followed and wiped his tears, while wiping, he mobilized: "Everyone think about it, think hard, have you seen any strange things in Shitai over the years, strange people......"

The villagers were all sad, but they had no experience in this area, and they looked at Ye Caitang blankly.

Ye Caitang said: "For example, there are people who are obviously not from the surrounding villagers who come to the door, or, for a period of time, Shitai's mood is obviously bad, but he doesn't say why, or, if he sees something strange in Jingxin Nunnery, all strange things are fine, we will check them one by one, and we must catch the murderer." ”

This is very concrete, and the villagers have fallen into deep thought.

It was so helpless to find clues in the vast sea, and it took everyone three full days to run to every house in Nanshan.

Xia Yue was actually very surprised, he thought that Ye Caitang would feel very hard, tired, and irritable. Especially in the face of different groups of people, repeating the same words over and over again, recording the same things, people who have not experienced it, I don't know how boring it is.

But Ye Caitang didn't complain at all, he said it over and over again, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't complain for half a sentence.

Although Xia Yue was almost angry to death by the five taels of silver, he was also very pleased.

They didn't live in the villagers' house now, but cleaned up the meditation nunnery, two rooms, one for Ye Caitang and one for Xia Yue, and the others slept casually in the courtyard.

One is the top boss, and the other is the family of the female dependent, so they are naturally privileged.

All the messages from the villagers were written on a table of paper, most of which must have been useless at first glance, and a small number of which were found to be useless after investigation.

In the end, if you can find a piece of useful information from it, it will be in vain.

Xia Yue knocked on Ye Caitang's door with a glass of honey water.

There were two large tables in the room, which were covered with paper in different categories, and Ye Caitang was sorting them.

Very important, important, suspicious, pure nonsense, stacks separated.

"Your Excellency." Ye Caitang took the cup handed over by Xia Yue, took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "Yo, honey water?" ”

Honey is a precious thing in this era, although it is used in various places, but Ye Caitang has really not been exposed to it in this era, there is no way, poor.

Xia Yue smiled, this was also what he admired about Ye Caitang.

She did not hide her surprise and desire when she saw good things, and she was not polite to eat, but she was not the kind of vulgar who had never seen the world.

These are two very contradictory situations, but they are perfectly integrated in Ye Caitang, so even if she is eating meat buns with happiness on the road, it is quite pleasing to the eye when she screams.

After Ye Caitang took two sips, he asked, "My lord, you are still carrying honey when you go out?" ”

It's exquisite, it's really enjoyable.

"Not really." Xia Yue walked over to look at the records on the table, and said while reading: "I saw a honeycomb on the mountain, and there was a lot of honey in it, so they got it down." After a while, I will pack it up and drain it out, put it in a jar and take it back with me, and give you a can. ”

Ye Caitang's eyes lit up, wild honey, good thing.

Now is the time when the flowers are luxuriant, and there are all kinds of flowers all over the mountains of Nanshan, and this honey is very authentic and nourishing.

"Give mine to Aunt Lin." Ye Caitang said: "Immediately the peaches and plums will come out, pickle some candied fruit and eat it." Preserves marinated in honey are better than those marinated in sugar. ”

Xia Yue smiled: "Don't worry, it's indispensable." ”

It is a valuable thing for Ye Caitang, but for Xia Yue, it is nothing.

Ye Caitang put the cup aside and took the one that had been sorted out just now: "Look, my lord, I have summarized these doubts according to the memories of the villagers. ”

"First, although Mrs. Ruhui has been in the meditation nunnery for more than 30 years and seems to have no income, she is really rich. She and Su Nian's daily expenses, she kept helping villagers everywhere, and even helped a villager whose house collapsed in a rainstorm to repair the house, where did the money come from? ”

Even if the expenses of each place are not large, but the meditation nunnery has no income, in the case of no income, you can only go in and out, unless you have gold and silver, otherwise, how can you maintain?

Xia Yue groaned: "Unless, Mrs. Ruhui brought a lot, a lot of money. ”

It wasn't a little money, it was a lot of money, for example, the jewels lost by the wealthy merchants in the town of Liji.

Ye Caitang nodded.

Xia Yue said: "Jewelry can be exchanged for money, but it cannot directly support the villagers. If Ruhui is the murderer, she has obtained a large number of jewels in Liji Town, and she must exchange all these jewels for money. ”

Ye Caitang then nodded.

Xia Yue said: "It can only be changed in the capital, and it is impossible to bring it outside." ”

Ye Caitang was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"Because it's too heavy." Xia Yue said: "If she can spend thirty years of silver, it must be a big sum." She is a cultivator, not a purchase, and it is impossible for her to drive a car into Nanshan. So you can only change it in the capital. ”

Although Ye Caitang didn't have it, it didn't prevent her from seeing it.

"Then can she exchange it for a silver ticket first, the silver ticket is easier to carry, and then in the capital, the silver ticket will be exchanged for silver one after another."

Ye Caitang also learned later that there is actually no one on the market for such a high-end and high-grade thing as a silver ticket. It's usually copper plates and broken silver, and if you go to dinner and take out a silver ticket, the boss will think that you are going to smash the field.

"It's also possible, but so much, such a large amount of silver tickets for silver, it will also be suspicious." Xia Yue said: "What's more, the case was investigated at that time, and it was also dangerous to exchange jewelry for silver tickets so quickly." She grew up in the capital, even if her family was affected by her at that time, she also had acquaintances, and she may not have a familiar pawn shop or silver building. ”

Speaking of which, Concubine Hui's family is also very miserable, so in this matter, Concubine Hui's father was directly demoted to a deserted place and became a petty official, and he did not return to Beijing until he died.
