Pan Jinlian listened to the girl's words, her heart was beating wildly, the girl's words couldn't be clearer, she implied that Ximenqing's mother had already died, and it was not his mother's birthday banquet that day, that is to say, the old lady was fake.

But the girl didn't say it explicitly, and she didn't dare to say that it must be like that, it had to be confirmed, she looked up at the sky, and the moon had begun to sink in the west, probably between the time of the second and the time of the new.

She didn't dare to go back to Zishi Street, for fear of meeting Wang Po, thinking that the county government should also be the time to draw Mao, so she simply went to the door of the county government, first, she could discuss with Wang Erniu, and second, she didn't dare to go to the county government to do evil, she was now bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and it was also for Wu Song to protect her body.

When she came, she was in a hurry to lead the way, and now she went back alone, and it was especially dark in the early morning, and she didn't know the way.

Sand--

A figure flashed in the woods beside the road, Pan Jinlian exclaimed, and said secretly: "It's really hard, Ximenqing's people actually found here!"

"Don't be afraid, the villain is not a bad person!"

The man hurriedly saluted, Pan Jinlian fixed his eyes, and saw that the man was carrying a basket in his hand, which contained dozens of plum blossoms, it turned out to be a flower seller, but the man recognized Pan Jinlian, and said respectfully: "Is the lady the wife of Wudu who has not passed the door?"

"Yes, how do you recognize the slave family?" Pan Jinlian listened to his humble tone, it seemed that he was not from Ximenqing, and her heart was not so frightened.

"The villain is a flower seller, and he is used to getting up early to pick flowers, which disturbs the lady, and I am very sorry. He saluted again: "The lady is a nobleman, not only the manager of Wu Dalang's baked cakes or the wife of Wu Song, who doesn't know in Yanggu County." ”

Pan Jinlian listened to a sweet heart, others called her Wu Song's wife, she was naturally happy, the flower seller knew the world very well, and did not ask why Pan Jinlian appeared in the wilderness before dawn, but said respectfully: "Lady, the road is slippery in the dark, and the villain is also going to enter Yanggu County, it is better for the villain to lead the way for you." ”

Pan Jinlian was very grateful when she heard this, although she was above board, but she was also afraid that others would misunderstand and insult Wu Song's reputation, so she said: "There is Brother Lao, there is an elder in the slave family, buried in a lonely grave outside the bamboo forest, tonight in a dream, blame why not come to worship, wake up in the dream, very frightened, and come to worship in the middle of the night, but I don't know the road in the suburbs, I fell and broke the lantern!"

During the Northern Song Dynasty, such ghosts and gods were very popular, the ancestors blamed them in their dreams, and the people living were panicked, which was also a common thing, and the flower sellers listened to it and believed it.

He is a decent person, walking at night with Pan Jinlian, keeping a distance of half a zhang, walking to a place with potholes, he will stop a little, shine with a lantern, Pan Jinlian will also understand, he does not talk to Pan Jinlian, the so-called men and women do not kiss, he is very aware of etiquette.

Pan Jinlian was secretly grateful in her heart: "Fortunately, he led the way, my heart is also stable, there are people, and I am not afraid of Ximen Qinglai to cause harm, when Erlang comes back, he must let him thank this big brother well." ”

Entering Yanggu County, there are already early dealers, and the flower seller doesn't need to mind the lonely man and widow, so he said: "The villain is very fateful with Dutou, a few days ago, it was also at this time to meet him, he and the villain bought a plum blossom, saying that it was in response to the hexagram of 'exclusive Oiran', I thought it was given to the lady, and today I met the lady's ......."

When Pan Jinlian heard this, her heart fluttered: "It turns out that the plum blossom still has this meaning, it seems that this eldest brother can be regarded as half of the matchmaker between me and Erlang!"

"Big brother, tonight is tired, and the slave family will stop here. ”

Pan Jinlian saw the county government and immediately said, the flower seller looked at this place and knew that Wu Song was from the public family and that it was very reasonable for his wife to come to the county office, so he saluted and said goodbye.

When she arrived at the gate of the county office, Pan Jinlian became nervous, the girl's words were undoubtedly the key to rescuing Wu Dalang, but she was afraid that it would be useless, so she was very worried before she was affirmed.

"Sister-in-law, why did you arrive at the county government so early?" Wang Erniu came to paint, saw Pan Jinlian, and saw that her clothes did not fit very well, there was mud on her shoes and skirt, and her hair was a little scattered, which was completely different from the usual image of a charming beauty, so he became worried.

Pan Jinlian saw Wang Erniu, and hurriedly told the girl about asking her out, but she didn't say anything about the matter in Hongfu Building.

Wang Erniu listened to it and said happily: "Sister-in-law, this clue is very good, Ximen Qing told Dalang that he did not fulfill the promise at his mother's birthday banquet, but if this birthday banquet is fake, but it is Ximen Qing who deceived Dalang, and the matter will be reversed, I have some dealings with Ximenqing, and I have never heard him say that he has a mother, but I am not sure, in this way, I will go to Wang Ergou, who used to enter the house at Ximenqing's house." ”

At this time, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Bin and Ma Qiang also arrived, Wang Erniu simply sent Ma Qiang to find Chen Ergou over, and he accompanied Pan Jinlian to the class room to rest.

Chen Ergou arrived soon, listened to the reason for the incident, and said loudly: "Ximenqing's mother has long since died, he told me personally, Dutou, let me testify, and you can save Dalang!"

"Hey, testify also about evidence, do you have evidence?" Wang Erniu has eaten the food of the public gate for decades, and is very calm: "Do you know where Ximenqing's mother's grave is?"

"I don't know. Chen Ergou scratched his head and said embarrassedly, Pan Jinlian was happy, instantly turned cold, and almost shed tears, but saw Chen Ergou suddenly pat his thigh: "Hey, I remembered, last year's Chongyang, Ximenqing sent me to prepare for him to worship the matter, said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and later said that I did it properly, and also rewarded the silver, and asked me which paper shop I patronized, now it is almost Qingming, Ximenqing will also prepare to worship the ancestors, it is estimated that he also patronizes the paper shop, go and ask!"

"Will the owner of the paper shop tell the truth?" Wang Erniu hurriedly asked.

Chen Ergou said proudly: "This is natural, the villains of the three religions and nine streams know the most, and the addition of the paper shop will also do some unsightly things, haha, but he has been good, and he admires the head of Wudu very much, as long as the head of the king does not pull his old bottom later!"

"Haha, we are in the public business, we don't seek merit, but we seek no fault, and we will never deliberately provoke anyone!"

Everyone laughed when they heard Wang Erniu say so frankly, Zhao Hu and Wang Bin stayed to give everyone leave, Wang Erniu, Zhang Long, Ma Qiang, Pan Jinlian, and Wang Ergou all went to the paper shop together.

As soon as Tian Cheng got up, he opened the board, and there were three people in his eyes, so panicked that he grabbed two paper piercing people and threw them at the three of them, and fled into the house.

Zhang Long and Ma Qiang trampled the two paper piercing people to a pulp and shouted "bad luck".

Chen Ergou smiled and led everyone into the inner room, it was empty, he walked straight to a table, moved the table away, pulled it on the floor, the floor rose in response, it turned out that there was a hole in the ground, and Tian Cheng curled up in it.

Seeing that it was Chen Ergou, Tian Cheng said with a sad face: "Brother Chen, everyone has followed the head of Wudu, didn't you say that you don't care about the past, why did you bring someone from the public gate?"

The three of them couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and said in their hearts: "It turns out that these people are so cunning, no wonder they arrested people before, obviously they saw them hiding in the house, but they couldn't find anyone, so it turns out that this is the case, it seems that we will pay attention to this hand in the future." ”

Chen Ergou smiled and explained the intention to Tian Cheng, and also explained that these are his own people, and he will not come to arrest him, Tian Cheng was relieved when he heard it, he first saluted Pan Jinlian, and then saluted the three of them, Pan Jinlian also sighed in his heart: "These people are all love houses and Wu!"

"You are looking for the right person, Ximen Qing really sent a housekeeper to order a lot of paper people, as well as all kinds of sacrifices, with a place of origin written on it, everyone see, this one reads 'Ximen Hong', Lianhua County, Dongping Prefecture', then Hong's is his mother. ”

"Bring these sacrifices back to the county government!" Chen Ergou said.

Wang Erniu smiled slightly: "Of course not, Ximenqing can be said to have done it yourself, it has nothing to do with him, it seems that I want you to take a trip, go to Lianhua County, and collect all the evidence!"

"This is no problem, Lianhua County is not far from here, two days of back and forth is enough!" Chen Ergou turned around and was about to set off.

"Uncle, slow down!" Pan Jinlian ordered Chen Ergou to stop, and turned to Wang Erniu and said, "Dutou, please don't be afraid of hard work, and send another grandfather to go." ”

Her meaning couldn't be simpler, she knew what evidence was needed to handle the case, if it was just Chen Ergou who went and brought back all the irrelevant ones, but the important ones were not brought back, wouldn't it be a trip in vain.

Wang Erniu naturally understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Long, you and Chen Ergou should go!"

Pan Jinlian took out the three taels of silver from her body, and said with a red face: "Two, the slave family only brought out three taels of silver today, and the right to ......"

"Sister-in-law, how can you see the outside like that, if it weren't for the head of Wudu, a few of us would still owe a lot of debts outside, anyway, as long as he is there, everyone will not worry about having no money to spend, unless we want to eat vegetables and rice from now on, we want your silver, I am not so stupid....."

Everyone laughed when they heard Zhang Long's words, Pan Jinlian was very grateful, and Wang Erniu sent her home and was about to leave.

Pan Jinlian said: "Wait a minute, wait for the slave family to change their clothes, and then go back to Wu Dalang to cook cakes, and want to walk out of Zishi Street with Dutou." ”
