After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 280
Qinghe Town is located in the north of the capital, at the junction of the capital and Jinzhou.

The further north, the colder the temperature, and the heavy snow on the road also slowed down the speed of travel.

After walking for two or three days, Shen Xian and Yan Chongluan arrived at Qinghe Town.

Qinghe Town is a quaint small town, only about half the size of the county seat.

Shen Xian looked at the street outside through the window of the carriage, feeling like returning to Yongle County.

Pedestrians on the side of the road were wearing heavy jackets, their cheeks were flushed from the cold, but the children on the side of the street were running around with their feet spread out, not knowing what cold is.

It was noon at this time, and the voices of food stalls and taverns in the interface were endless.

"Jinzhou special beef soup, take a look and taste it!"

"The secret recipe for cooking pork belly, don't miss it when you pass by!"

The seductive fragrance is like a seductive little devil, Shen Xian swallowed with a grunt.

The two carriages both stopped, Yan Chongluan jumped off the carriage and went outside Shen Xian's carriage.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we just stay nearby and have something to eat before we inquire?"

"Okay!" Shen Xian lifted the curtain of the car, pointed to the shop that said 'Jinzhou Beef Soup' and said, "Let's eat this later!"

"Okay." Yan Chongluan smiled heartily.

After finding a fairly clean inn nearby, Yan Chongluan rewarded his servants with money to come to Fufu to have dinner with Daniel.

Shen Xian came to the beef soup shop with Yan Chongluan, wanting to try the local delicacies.

The old-fashioned restaurant looks like it has been around for a while, and the flag waving in the wind above the door reads a century-old shop.

Shen Xian walked into the shop and looked back, there was a line written on the back of the flag, '96 years left. '

Seeing a customer coming in, the shop waiter ran over quickly and put a white rag on his shoulder.

"What would the two guests want to eat?"

Shen Xian picked a clean table to sit down, flipped through the menu, "Two bowls of beef soup, and two special dishes from your restaurant."

After speaking, Shen Xian pushed the menu to Yan Chongluan, "Young Master Yan, see if there is anything you want to eat."

Yan Chongluan shook his head and said with a smile: "Since eating hot pot, I feel almost tasteless in everything I eat, that's all."

The waiter in the shop had never heard of 'hot pot', so he patted his chest and said: "Guests, our beef soup is excellent, and the taste is definitely not inferior to hot pot, so don't worry."

Naturally, Yan Chongluan would not argue with the waiter because of this kind of thing, he just chuckled and asked: "Er, I want to ask you something."

While talking, Yan Chongluan put a piece of broken silver on the table.

Yan Chongluan never hesitated to reward money for doing things easily.

Xiaoer's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the silver, which was his one month's regular money.

"Young master, if you have anything to ask, just ask, I know everything without saying anything."

Yan Chongluan nodded, and said slowly: "You are in Qinghe Town, but have you ever heard of a girl named Hongye?"

"Red leaves?"

Xiao Er went through it quickly in his mind, and shook his head regretfully.

"Young Master, Qinghe Town has [-] to [-] people. It's difficult to find someone with just one name. Do you know anything else?"

Yan Chongluan shook his head, the registration information of Tianque Building only stated that Hongye's household registration is here in a general way.

Shen Xian pondered for a while, then asked: "Xiao Er, is there a family with the surname 'Hong' in Qinghe Town?"

In Shen Xian's impression, the surname Hong is a rare surname, if one can find out where the family of the surname Hong is located, it will sound much more convenient.

Xiao Er frowned and thought hard, obviously he had never heard of it, but he was unwilling to give up the money.

"How about this, you two, I'll serve you food first, and I'll ask our shopkeeper later. He is an old man in Qinghe Town. If there is really a family with the surname 'Hong', he should know about it."

"Alright."

Yan Chongluan nodded in agreement, he was just asking casually and didn't hold out much hope.

The hot beef soup came quickly, accompanied by two crispy pancakes.

A large plate of sauced knuckles is placed in the middle, fat but not greasy, with delicious beef soup, it can be said to be delicious.

"It tastes good."

Shen Xian wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and gave a pertinent evaluation.

And Yan Chongluan's mind is obviously not on eating, he would glance at the waiter in the restaurant from time to time.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Shen Xian persuaded in a gentle tone: "Young Master Yan, don't worry, if Miss Hongye is really from this place, sooner or later she will be able to find out."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er hurried over.

"Young Master, Miss, I have found out the matter."

Yan Chongluan heard the words and said quickly: "Let's listen."

Xiao Er cleared his throat, showing a weeping expression.

"According to my shopkeeper, there was a big family with the surname Hong in Qinghe Town, but this family went extinct overnight five years ago, and was killed completely."

Hearing this news, Shen Xian's face was heavy, there was no need to think about it, Yu Wen must have done it, otherwise Hong Ye would not have hated him so much.

"However..." Xiao Er intentionally put off his words and paused.

Yan Chongluan understood what he meant, and threw the money in his hand to him without hesitation.

Xiao Er caught Yinzi, laughed immediately, and continued: "However, my shopkeeper said that there is no girl named Hongye in any family. If you are sure that you have found the right one, you can go to the north of Qinghe Town to inquire."

After listening, Shen Xian nodded thoughtfully, "Master Yan, let's go, I have an idea now."

Hearing this, Yan Chongluan stood up and walked outside.

Back in the inn, Shen Xian said to Yan Chongluan: "Young Master Yan, I have a premonition that the Hong family whose family was exterminated must be sister Hongye's family."

"I think so too, otherwise how could there be such a great hatred." Yan Chongluan thought for a while and said: "But according to Miss Hongye's attitude, the culprit is Yu Wenji, but how could Yu Wenji let a slip through the net?" Yu, have you lived in the capital for so long?"

After listening to Yan Chongluan's analysis, Shen Xian felt that this was indeed a suspicious point.

However, it is not very difficult to solve this doubt. If Hongye is really related to the exterminated Hong family, then she must have been erased from her household registration, otherwise she would definitely die.

In Qinghe Town, the only people who can erase people from their household registrations are the government.

"It seems that the answer to this question can only be known by asking the county magistrate." Shen Xian said slowly.

Yan Chongluan frowned and thought for a while, and probably understood Shen Xian's thoughts.

"But if things are not as we guessed, wouldn't we have exposed the whereabouts of Hongye girl to the county magistrate, and if this person is from Yuwenji, wouldn't we have harmed Hongye?"

"Yeah, that's where the difficulty lies."

Shen Xian rubbed his forehead depressedly, if he wanted to clarify the matter, he had to first confirm whether the magistrate was a trustworthy person.
