The fat woman Mrs. Dong stepped forward to salute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Fanghe glanced at her and asked, "You are responsible for the embroidery of the Yefu silk handkerchief?"

Mrs. Dong replied seriously: "Go back to the eldest master, that's exactly the case." ”

"Are you familiar with this embroidery girl Chen Baozhen?" Lin Fanghe asked in a different way.

"A little bit of it. Mrs. Dong's curved, thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said, "When she came, she said that her husband couldn't earn much money and had children at home, so she came out to do some work to subsidize the family." ”

Lin Fanghe nodded, and asked again: "How often does Chen Baozhen come to the house to hand in embroidery?"

Mrs. Dong thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily, it mainly depends on the speed ......of the technique, how is the embroidery work?"

"How was the exchange process?" Lin Fanghe sat on the chair and asked carefully.

"First take out the embroidered silk handkerchiefs and examine them one by one. If it is fully compliant, sign the number and write a receipt for her. With this ticket, the embroidery lady can go to the bookkeeper to receive the silver. Mrs. Dong introduced them one by one.

"How many times has Chen Baozhen been to Ye Mansion?"

"Three times, four times, no more than five times. Mrs. Dong smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, dozens of embroiderers, I can't remember clearly." This Chen Baozhen embroidery is exquisite, the silk handkerchief is clean, and I have a slight impression. ”

Lin Fanghe thought about it for a while, and then asked, "When Chen Baozhen came to Ye Mansion, could he meet with the master Ye Fang?"

Mrs. Dong raised her thin eyebrows, shook her head vigorously, and said, "Oh, my eldest lord, you can really joke." Master Ye Fang, such a noble golden body, how can she be seen casually by a country woman? Chen Baozhen has come these few times, not to mention Master Ye, even if she is a housekeeper, she is also unlucky. ”

Seeing her attitude, Lin Fanghe couldn't help but feel disgusted, sneered, and said: "The Ye Mansion is really the hairpin clan, the golden land, the prestige, and the crown is for a while. Not to mention that she is a country woman, even if she is the main hall, I can't easily enter ......"

When Mrs. Dong heard this, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize: "My lord, I didn't mean that, slave. ”

"Get up and talk back. Lin Fanghe's eyes swept and asked, "What are the main criteria for Yefu to recruit embroidery girls, and how to hire them?"

Mrs. Dong restrained her arrogance and replied: "We usually go to the embroidery workshop on the street to find people, and there are also relatives and friends who recommend them. Otherwise, it still doesn't hold water. ”

"How did this Chen Baozhen come about?" Lin Fanghe said coldly.

Mrs. Dong was anxious, and hurriedly pleaded: "Back to the county master, I really don't know this. If you want to know more, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the butler—"

When Lin Fanghe heard this, he slowly moved his gaze to Ye Wenxuan, and before he could ask, the official family opened his mouth first: "When the adult asked about Chen Baozhen, the old slave was not very clear, but when it came to the embroidery girl recommended outside, there were still some memories in the downfall. Isn't she the woman from Gaoqiao Village who was sent by Shen Wanshan this spring?"

"Why do you remember this person so deeply?"

"The main thing is that most of the embroiderers come from the embroidery workshop, and she is the only one who is a country woman. At that time, I was not at ease, but Shen Wanshan patted his chest and repeatedly made reassurances, so I accepted ......"

"Who is Shen Wanshan?" Lin Fanghe frowned.

"He is a martial artist in the Chengxi Martial Arts Pavilion, and he is good at making guns and sticks, because the two families are in-laws, so he is familiar with Master Ye Fang. The official replied seriously.

"How does this Shen Wanshan know Chen Baozhen?"

According to him, they are cousins, former relatives. The official hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Of course, all these old slaves have heard of it. I don't know what it is, whether it's true or not. ”

"I understand. ”

Lin Fanghe turned his head sideways to face the yacha and said, "Take them out and draw a confession on the interrogation record." Then he said to the officials, "Don't talk nonsense about today's questioning." ”

The official family bowed goodbye: "The old slave knows." ”

After the group waited out, Master Gao saw that Lin Fanghe's face was uncertain, so he asked, "My lord, are you not satisfied with the result of this inquiry?"

Lin Fanghe sighed lightly and said: "When I first heard the news, I pinned my hopes on that official family, who knew that Ye Wenxuan was a sixty-year-old man, old and long-aged, exhausted, and still too busy to take care of himself, how could he have a relationship between men and women with that young and beautiful Chen Baozhen." It's just, how can this gratuitous involve a martial artist?"

While speaking, Tang Yu, Fang Zheng and Meng Shouyi, two inspectors, walked into the second hall from outside.

Everyone greeted each other.

Lin Fanghe said with a smile: "Everyone work hard, sit down and have a cup of tea first." I wonder what about finding the source of the corpse?"

Inspector Meng sighed a few times and said: "We have sent a large number of government missions to arrest and arrest people, and we have almost traveled to several villages and towns up and down the Daqing River. ”

Inspector Fang Zheng added: "There was a case of disappearance in Linqiao Village two days ago, but it was an eight-year-old boy who was herding cattle in the mountains and suddenly encountered heavy rain. Not only the time, but also the age does not correspond to this case......"

Lin Fanghe comforted: "This matter is slow, don't worry. ”

Meng Shouyi muttered: "It's easy to say, I'm afraid that the state government above will rush it!"

"It's up to me to explain. Lin Fanghe pushed the case file aside and said in a deep voice, "How can there be a deadline for solving the case? Once the urging is too urgent, it is inevitable that the mud and sand will fall below and the confession will be extorted by severe torture." If you don't do it, you will be sentenced to prison by mistake and wronged good people......"

As soon as these words came out, the two inspectors, Fang Zheng and Meng Shouyi, blushed and lowered their heads.

Lin Fanghe didn't care, and ordered a pot of strong tea to be made. The servant took it and poured one with each of them. He took a lamp, drank it alone, and thought slowly: "Since the dead body appeared in the river, is it possible that it fell into the water from the upstream and floated down the river to us?"

Fang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but shout: "Now that the rainy season is approaching, the big river is rising, since we can't find the source of the corpse here, maybe it's really going downstream." Good eyesight ...... adults"

"I'm just guessing. Lin Fanghe sighed and put down the teacup.

"Hey, if you don't say I've forgotten, I think about it. Master Gao exclaimed, hurriedly got up from the chair, walked quickly to the shelf, took out a dossier, and came back to put it on the bookcase.

He also said: "This is an official document sent by Heyuan County this morning. Three days ago, a group of smugglers smuggled two boxes of tobacco and soil across the source of the river and were intercepted by the patrol when they were Tujie River. After a fight, two smugglers were killed on the spot, one fell into the river, and the rest of the bandits hid in the dense forest on the border between the two counties. The local defenders and yacha have set up checkpoints at various crossings, and the responsibility for the pursuit falls on the head of the magistrate of Heyuan County. However, because the case involved a wide range of cases, documents were sent and Dangtu County was requested to cooperate and cooperate in the investigation. ”

Meng Shouyi put down the teacup, shook his head in frustration, and said, "Could it be that the corpses in the river are the smugglers who floated down from Heyuan County upstream?" )
