Huang Laohan smacked his tongue and said, "That man wears a bamboo hat, and the brim of his hat is pressed very low, and I can only see that his chin is wide and shaved ......."

Lin Fanghe smiled when he heard this, and patted his sleeve: "You can't go out and talk nonsense about this." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Huang Laohan stuck out his tongue: "That's it, who dares to provoke this trick of looking for flowers and asking willows? Especially a spicy product like Chen Baozhen, who is harsh and unforgiving! It's a pity that Lu Gensheng gave birth to that child, and he was honest and kind, but he got that hat out of thin air to wear." ”

Lin Fanghe leaned over and looked at both sides of the street, but there was no one in sight, and he was about to leave, but Huang Laohan called out to him: "Dao Chief, I told you so much, you have to think of a way to help me get rid of the disaster." ”

"It's easy to do. Lin Fanghe took out four talismans from his pocket and handed them to Huang Laohan.

The old man raised his face, full of reverence, and asked, "Does this work?"

Lin Fanghe said with a smile: "This spirit rune comes from Bixiao Palace, and the Dao method is extraordinary. When you get home, all you have to do is press the talismans on the four corners of the house. And in the middle of the night, three watches, when the child is right, prepare a basin of water, a number of yellow table paper. Use a pen dipped in cinnabar to write three consecutive 'Fu' characters in the water, and then splash the water evenly in the courtyard. Incineration of yellow table paper can remove miasma, and the house is safe and ......"

Huang Laohan smiled lovely, and said again and again: "Thank you, Daoist." ”

He reached into his arms again, took out a few leather coins, and handed them to Lin Fanghe: "Think carefully, don't pay respect." I also hope that the Taoist chief will smile. ”

Lin Fanghe excused himself and said: "I said, make a good fate, and don't charge money." ”

"You have to take it, you have to take it. Huang Laohan was anxious, stood up, and couldn't help but stuff the copper coin into his pocket, and said noisily: "These charms, if you don't take out some money, they won't work—if you are thirsty on the way, you should buy a bowl of wine to drink." ”

Lin Fanghe couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Raise his hand and salute, and say goodbye: "Everything goes well......"

Huang Laohan smiled and beckoned: "The Taoist chief is happy." ”

Back at the county office, Lin Fanghe took off the crown of his robe, took off his beard, took a beautiful bath, changed into a clean and fitting robe, and came to the front hall.

I found Master Gao in the room, he was reading the official documents related to prisons, money and food, and civil disputes, and when he saw the adults coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Lin Fanghe nodded and said, "You're busy." Sitting on the chair next to him, he asked again: "I want to ask the master, is there a rice shop owner surnamed Ye in this Dangtu County?"

Master Gao raised his head suddenly, two searching eyes shot out from behind the lenses, and asked softly, "Why did the adults suddenly remember to ask this?"

"Just ask. Lin Fanghe calmly responded, "Could it be that this is inconvenient?"

"No, no, no. Master Gao's words dodged.

"I think you seem to want to stop talking?"

"Well, Boss Ye's name is Ye Fang, and he has a Hongyuan rice store at home, and there are also many branches in nearby states and counties. The family has a lot of money, and there are groups of servants, but they are kind and charitable. In Dangtu County, the business community is also a common word. He won't be involved in anything that violates the law, right?" Master Gao was worried.

Lin Fanghe said: "I didn't say that he had anything to do with crime, why should you worry about it?"

"Then I'm relieved. ”

"Master Gao and this Boss Ye Fang, could it be that they still have relatives?"

"Don't hide it from Lord Lin, this Ye Fang is Xiao Ke's son and daughter-in-law, my third daughter, married to the son of the Ye family as a daughter-in-law......"

"It turns out that there is still this relationship, no wonder the master is afraid that the city gate will catch fire and affect the pond fish?"

After Lin Fanghe finished speaking, he laughed and said, "However, since you are close relatives to Boss Ye, I won't hide it from you." At present, this disappearance case is somewhat involved in Ye Fang. Excuse me, does the Ye family need a large amount of silk handkerchief embroidery every year?"

Master Gao sighed and put his mind at ease: "If the adults ask this, then you are looking for the right person." Because I am related to him, I know a little bit about his family's diet and daily life. Let's not talk about it, if we talk about this thorny silk handkerchief, the Ye family has to consume at least 10,000 zhang every year. ”

"There are so many?" Lin Fanghe was curious.

Master Gao said: "You think, this young master and young lady of the Ye family, ladies and daughters, maids and maids, wash after meals, comb makeup, stain sweat, wipe utensils, many of them are one-time use, this year, the amount of silk handkerchiefs can be imagined." ”

"But they can use Sujuan?"

"Rich people always like to make a tune, and adults must know it. Master Gao said, "There are flowers and plants tattooed on the silk silk, birds, beasts, insects and fish, and the style is different." Therefore, the embroiderers hired by Ye Fu for a year and dedicated to embroidery are also much older......"

"Then do you know that Chen Baozhen, the wife of Lu Gensheng, the protagonist of the disappearance case in Gaoqiao Village, is also embroidering silk handkerchiefs for Yefu?"

Master Gao shook his head again and again: "I don't know about this, not only me, I'm afraid even if you ask Ye Fang, he won't be able to figure it out." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Boss Ye is busy with rice shops all day long, business contacts, how can he have time to take care of this matter? The person in charge of this matter may be the official family, or it may be the mother-in-law who specializes in buying clothes......" Master Gao said conclusively.

Lin Fanghe frowned slightly, thought about it, and ordered: "Since this is the case, Master Gao, you should put down the matter at hand first." Take two errands to Ye Mansion and inform his housekeeper to come to the county government to see me. ”

Master Gao asked, "Do you want to detain him?"

"No, just a general inquiry. ”

Master Gao took the order and left.

Lin Fanghe waited alone in the second hall.

After most of the tea, there was the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps outside the door, from far and near, and then a few people walked in.

At the head were Master Gao and the two yacha, one point left and right, and an old man over sixty years old appeared behind him wearing a mustard-colored kudzu robe and a satin-faced round hat on his head. There is a white spot the size of a copper coin on his left cheek.

Behind the old man, there was also a middle-aged woman wrapped in ayara, white and fat.

Master Gao intervened and replied: "This is Ye Wenxuan, the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion. ”

The official stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Lord Zhixian." ”

Lin Fanghe sat on the chair with a stern face, and asked: "This hall asks you, how much do you know about Chen Baozhen's embroidery of silk handkerchiefs for the house, and tell me everything." If there is deception, I will not forgive ......"

"Don't dare. The official said softly, "But if you ask, the old slave must know everything and say everything." ”

"Let me ask you, have you always been responsible for the matter of the Yefu Silk Cloth Thorn Flower?" Lin Fanghe breathed quickly.

The official straightened his attitude and replied respectfully: "No, I have too much tediousness in a day, and I am old and lack of energy. Even if you want to do things yourself, you can't do it. ”

He pointed back at the middle-aged woman and said, "Silk handkerchief embroidery has always been in the sole charge of Mrs. Dong. Check the quality of the embroidery, register it, and issue silver taels, if you don't understand, you can directly interrogate her ......" (to be continued.) )
