The reason why this woman knew that the King of the Night and Princess of the Night lived in Shenjia Village was precisely because the governor set fire to the village in an attempt to murder the King of the Night and Princess of the Night. here.

Seeing that her forehead was broken, Shen Yuan felt pity for her.

"Get up." Shen Yuan called the woman up, and then called the woman to sit in the main room, poured her a cup of tea, and said in a good voice, "What is wrong with your daughter? Tell me."

"Yes, Princess Ye." The woman's eyes were red and swollen, her eye bags were swollen, and she seemed to have been unable to sleep for many nights, she said sadly with tears in her eyes, "Mother Mo, is from Dayanggu County~~ '
In the woman's intermittent crying, Shen Yuan understood the general process of the matter.

The woman Mo's family is well-off, and she has only one daughter. More than a year ago, her daughter married a down-and-out scholar. Two months ago, her daughter suddenly disappeared. He didn't believe it either, and insisted that his daughter was killed by his son-in-law.

"My daughter is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, she knows shame and etiquette, it is impossible for her to elope with others, she must have been murdered by Huang Xiucai, please ask Princess Ye to investigate thoroughly." The woman broke down in tears.

After listening to the whole story, Shen Yuan didn't want to jump to conclusions, so he asked the woman silently.

"Ma'am, think about it carefully, what's wrong with your son-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, there are many things wrong with him." Mo Shi nodded repeatedly, "My daughter has only been gone for two months, and Huang Xiucai has already married another, and all of my daughter's dowry has also fallen into his hands."
The woman couldn't stop crying when she said this. It turned out that she and her husband, Gao Yuanwai, had a daughter in their thirties. They cared for her like a baby and sent her to read and write.

The couple earned a lot of money in business when they were young, and they wanted to find a son-in-law who really loved her daughter.

Last year there was a plague of locusts in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and many foreigners fled to Yanggu County. Gao Yuanwai and his wife were kind-hearted, so they set up a porridge shed outside the city to give out porridge. Among the refugees who came to the porridge shed to beg for food was Huang Xiucai.

"My daughter didn't know why he was bewitched by him, but she just gave him a bowl of porridge, and then she fell in love with him, and then she insisted on marrying him." Mo's eyes were clouded with tears.

"That Huang Xiucai claimed to be a scholar, and he refused to be the son-in-law."

"Her father and I don't care about whether we come to the door or not. As long as the daughter is happy, it's fine. After discussing with her father, I gave most of the property to my daughter as a dowry."

"Who knows that my daughter has only been married for a year, and she disappeared inexplicably like this!"

After the woman finished speaking, she began to cry bitterly. After crying for a while, she raised her red and swollen eyes, "Princess Ye, do you believe in dreams? My daughter gave me a dream every night, saying that she was killed by Huang Xiucai, woo woo Woo~~
Believe it or not in the dream~~ Shen Yuan can't tell. She remembers a murder case in modern Taiwan. The murdered woman entrusted her mother with dreams many times, accusing her husband of killing her, and finally solved the case.

So she can't jump to conclusions about this kind of thing. Perhaps it is also possible that the victim's mother believed that the son-in-law killed his wife, thinking about it day and night, and dreaming about her daughter day in and day out.

But no matter what the truth of this matter is, she has to investigate it. If she is alive, she must see the dead body. Even if her daughter ran away with a foreign businessman, she must find out the person and let the matter come to light.

What's more, Lingzhou is about to become the fiefdom of the Night King. As the night princess, she has this responsibility and obligation to be the master for the people.

"If you want to find out about this matter, you have to meet your son-in-law first." Shen Yuan said, "Don't worry, Aunt Mo, no matter what your daughter's whereabouts are, I will definitely help you find out."

"Thank you Princess Ye, thank you Princess Ye." Mo Shi slid off the stool again and kowtowed non-stop.

That morning, Shen Yuan packed up and prepared to go to Yanggu County.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, cousin Ying, I have something to do and I can't entertain you well." Shen Yu'an looked at Mo Suijun and Yingying with a humble face, "You will cook by yourself, make your own medicine and take a bath in the past two days, wait If I haven't come back after my illness is cured, I will lock the door and put the key in Uncle Shen's hand.'
Chinese New Year is approaching, and the journey back to Dali is long, so we have to start as soon as possible.

"Okay, cousin." Yingying was very happy, she couldn't tell how happy she was to have this opportunity to be alone with Mo Suijun, she was overjoyed.

Although Mo Suijun had a gentle and elegant appearance, with a calm face, but his heart was gloomy.

This farewell, the mountains are high and the waters are far away. I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again in this life. I only hope that she will be happy and happy.

The smile on his face was as plain as water, but the loss in his heart was unspeakable. After all, his fate with him was not enough. If he could meet her before the Night King, maybe she would fall in love with him too?
After being silent for a long while, dry words turned into a deep exhortation, "Yuan sister, take care."

"Mr. Mo cherishes it, and Cousin Ying cherishes it." Shen Yuyan saluted Mo Sui Junfu, ignored the loneliness that appeared in his eyes involuntarily, and joked with a smile, "Remember to bring a pair of 'Peace Little White Rabbits' back, Our Great Zhou Kingdom and Dali Kingdom will always be friendly states. "

After saying this, Shen Yuan carried the burden on his shoulders, and left the yard with his shadow.

Mo's carriage was waiting under the big locust tree, and when she saw the shadow driving the carriage, she also ordered the driver to drive the carriage, and the two carriages went out of the village one after the other.

When passing by Uncle Shen's house, Shen Yuan told them a few more words, asked them to feed the rabbits, and then left Shenjia Village.

Yanggu County is adjacent to Wantian County. The Baijia Village iron mine happened in Yanggu County before. After that incident, Yanggu County changed the county magistrate. The new county magistrate seems to be surnamed Lei.

Although they are two neighboring counties, they still stayed overnight on the way, and arrived at Yanggu County the next afternoon.

Along the way, Shen Yuan also chatted with Mo Shi a lot, and learned that Mo Shi's husband, Gao Yuan Wai, also died of illness after his daughter disappeared, because the money for Gao Yuan Wai's family was exhausted.

But the daughter's dowry all fell into the hands of the son-in-law. When Gao Yuanwai was sick and had no money for medical treatment, Mo's family wanted to raise some money, but Huang Xiucai kicked him out.

Shen Yu'an thought that Ms. Gao might elope with foreign merchants before, but after hearing Mo's words, she felt that Huang Xiucai did have a motive for committing the crime.
