Jade spy border

Chapter 72
Master Qian's brows furrowed. Although he had seen the map countless times, he still didn't remember it very clearly. He could only pick out what he knew and said: "If we fall into the clear water pool, there is no way we can take the carriage with us. Did the coachman, wife, and maid fall into the water together? What’s more, there is an extremely steep spot where the Bishuitan water enters the Linnan River. From top to bottom, not to mention being shattered into pieces, there is no chance of survival!"

As soon as Master Qian said these words, Mi Yuyan didn't want to talk to him anymore. Fortunately, she didn't have such a stupid person joining the army in her previous life, otherwise she would have been sent to feed the horses.

When Master Qian saw Mi Yuyan making the same expression as before, he knew that what he said was not quite right, and quickly added: "This incident is definitely not an accident, although no one has brought it up until now. To coerce Dong Weng, but without any premeditation, it is possible to kill several living people, especially in Linnan Mountain, which is unlikely."

"Now that we can't see anyone alive or dead, we can be even more sure that this is someone who deliberately set up this situation."

Mi Yuyan sighed, but what she was thinking about was that no matter what, there would always be a few lives lost, especially that Yu County Lord, who brought his family to Linnan to take office in order to cover up his mission. He is a straightforward minister, although his abilities are lacking, he is still worth helping.

"Have you ever noticed that when you come down from the northern foot of Linnan Mountain and connect to the Linnan River, you can see where the boat is wide enough to carry a carriage."

Master Qian asked subconsciously: "What do you mean, Ninth Lady, the thieves transported people and carriages together by water? How can Ninth Lady be sure that they did not take the mountain road? Linnan Mountain is so big, not to mention hiding two carriages and a few people. It doesn’t matter if there are dozens or hundreds of people.”

Mi Yuyan was really helpless at Master Qian's unintelligent and foolish behavior, so she asked, "Then what did you find on the mountain? Even if you found a piece of carriage fragments, you just pretended that I didn't say anything." . Although Shanmen is not a worldly person, if he doesn’t even understand the one-third of an acre of land in front of his house, then his reputation will be in vain."

Master Qian suddenly blushed when he thought of the scene where Wanshou Temple sent out many disciples to seal the mountain for search and rescue. However, it was a shame anyway, and he didn't care about losing more, so he asked again: "What if we kill the coachman or Is it because I'm dizzy, why don't I use someone to drive me on the official road?"

Mi Yuyan was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so she just said: "After the incident, didn't you check? Is there any news? It's impossible that the carriages in your two houses didn't recognize anyone along the way, right? I just It is to provide you with a possibility. As for the possibility that it may not be possible, you can consider it yourself. Another point is, have you checked the wife of Mr. Hu?"

"I have checked and found out that there are more than [-] daughters from Hu Yuan's wife's family, and there are more than ten who are not married, and there are many concubines. This daughter is still a dead mother. She is recorded in the name of his mistress. If it is not the daily income, In the eyes of our sister from the Dongweng family, no one cares about her at all, and it’s such a thing. Not only do they dare not report the case to their daughter, but they don’t even dare to come to our house to ask." Master Qian quickly explained .

Mi Yuyan pondered for a moment before asking: "How did she, a concubine from a merchant's family, get to know the lady of the county magistrate's family?"

"This member of the Hu family has a legitimate daughter who married Mr. Huang, the magistrate of the state. When he walked around the inner house, he took this sister with him. This is how he got to know the sister of the Dongweng family. Our county magistrate wanted to integrate as soon as possible. In Linnan's officialdom, Mrs. Wu probably thought that sister was pretty good, and the sisters at home didn't have much to do when they first arrived in Linnan, so she just let them play around."

"It was only after the incident that we found out about that sister's background. Mrs. Dongweng's wife felt even more guilty."

"Since the incident, is there anything unusual about Mr. Hu and his family?"

Master Qian quickly shook his head: "There's nothing abnormal, except that he felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw Dong Weng. Later, he rarely wandered around in front of us."

"After the incident, Mr. Hu didn't come to your county magistrate to plead guilty?" Mi Yuyan raised her eyebrows.

Master Qian showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "These people in the middle are twisting and turning. It's actually quite embarrassing. He didn't come to our Dong Weng, so it's hard for us Dong Weng to find him. Both sides kept silent almost at the same time. Now, it seems that Mrs. Hu from Huang Zhizhou’s mansion is not aware of this matter. She even visited Mrs. Wu once and mentioned the Yu family sister.”

No matter which angle you think about it, it is understandable that the Yu family does not want to make any announcement. Mi Yuyan's eyes narrowed slightly and she asked: "Then she didn't say what happened to her sister?"

Master Qian sighed: "She said that her father married her sister to Shu. It was quite sudden. She also cried to Mrs. Dongweng's family about the suffering of women. The general meaning was that her sister said she was marrying off, but in fact she was sending her away. She was given to some official as a concubine."

Without even thinking about it, Mi Yuyan knew that the Yu family would definitely only say to the outside world that they would send their sister back to the clan, whether it was to serve the old man or something else. If she couldn't get her back, they would just say she was getting married, and she would be back. , it is definitely impossible for her to stay in Linnan City any longer.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Wu doesn't want to live anymore. The only daughter under her knees is living like this without seeing her dead body. Any ordinary woman who loves her children can only go crazy or live a life worse than death.

"Have you been keeping an eye on that member of yours, Mr. Hu?" Mi Yuyan always felt that there was something weird about it, but she couldn't tell what was weird about it.

"Not only stared at him, but also checked him from beginning to end. In fact, this man was originally kidnapped and later sold to a small businessman in the rice and grain business. The businessman was originally a Sichuan salesman. When he was young, I was injured and had no children, but later I earned some money and bought this child, and the business got better and better."

"When Hu Yuanwai was about thirteen or fourteen years old, the salesman saved some money, took his wife and children to settle in Linnancheng, and started to do the rice and grain business. It grew bigger and bigger, until both of them died. Well, when Hu Yuanwai was in charge, the business was already very big."

"The key is that he is a businessman. He does not kidnap others, but he only kidnaps the sister of our county family. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? Besides, it is really his doing. What is his purpose of kidnapping the county family's sister? If He did it for others, and his purpose was to respect the county, which brings us back to the question that the Ninth Lady raised just now..."

Anyway, this matter is very abnormal no matter how you look at it. When something abnormal happens, there must be a monster. Mi Yuyan really wants to see who this Hu Yuanwai is.

Mi Yuyan closed her lips slightly. She originally wanted to ask about Mr. Hu, but she felt that firstly, it was inappropriate to ask Master Qian about these matters. Secondly, he might not know clearly, so it would be better to ask. Brother Ying Liu and Second Brother Pei arrived quite accurately.

Thinking of this, Mi Yuyan was not ready to quarrel with Mr. Qian anymore, so she stood up and said: "After I finish what Mr. Qian said, I will directly hand it over to Mr. Sang Wan. Then you can do whatever you want." , there is no need to worry about me, and there is no need to favor my Mi family, I have offended many people today, please forgive me, Mr. Qian."

Master Qian was confused by Mi Yuyan's U-turn and didn't know what to say. Although he didn't seem to finish the words no matter how he said them, he had already made it clear that he was seeing off the guests, so it was hard to say anything more. The key was that he was at this moment. He was also in a mess in his heart, so he just said: "Whether it is in public or private life, I have to thank Jiu Niangzi for her help. How can I offend you? I will truthfully report these words of Jiu Niangzi to the county magistrate. If there is any progress..." Mi Yuyan shook her head: "That's not necessary. I shouldn't have said these words today. As for the trivial things Mr. Qian said, there is no need to worry about it. Mr. Qian's identity is sensitive. We, the Mi clan, have risen to become a small people. People in our clan have always lived cautiously, and we can no longer withstand any storms..."

How could Master Qian not understand? Mi Yuyan's direct meaning was that she hoped that he would not come to her door again. Although she felt unhappy, she could understand and said calmly: "Qian understands what Ninth Lady means, if What should I do if I want to find the Ninth Lady in the future?"

Mi Yuyan pursed her lips and really didn't know how to answer. Master Qian didn't force himself this time, bowed his hands and left...

Master Qian's carriage stopped at the intersection of Xishi Street. At this moment, he didn't know why, but he really didn't want to go back. This conversation with Mi Yuyan could be said to have completely overturned his previous views on Lin Nan, being an official, and governing the world. He was extremely confused now, and he didn't know how to tell Dong Weng these words after he returned.

These people, including Yu Xianzun, who studied and studied in the past, were all scheming and believed in a bright future and a gentleman should follow the path.But today, someone suddenly told him that in such a chaotic situation in the southwest, what they had learned and thought in the past would not work.

Facts have also proved that these words are by no means false. Otherwise, where in Man Dayun would dare to be so arrogant and take away the daughter of the honorable family of a county?The key is, the county leader can only swallow his anger and dare not go to war?
It's simply insulting to politeness and sweeping the floor. To put it bluntly, you are being ridden on your neck and shitting on you and yet you dare not make any move. This kind of thing probably only happens in the southwest, where the Dayun court has lost control. place.

The current situation is that I don’t know how many people know about this matter, especially those in the officialdom of the southwest. Those who know about it are probably just watching the joke from afar, and even if they haven’t been slapped twice, they still have some human conscience. Well, I am afraid that he and his county magistrate are the only ones who think they have concealed it very well, but in fact, they are just clowns in the eyes of others.

I don't know why, but at this moment, Master Qian suddenly felt an unparalleled anger and sadness. This was something he had never felt before, not even when the incident happened.

Mr. Qian unconsciously walked towards the opposite direction to the carriage, walking faster and faster, and finally stopped suddenly and stood on the bustling street of the West Market. The bustling flow of people was like a torrent... …

At this moment, Master Qian felt for the first time that this was a white-washed peace, but in fact it was a turbulent wave. Such a vortex hidden in the depths was not something that people like him and his boss could see clearly. It can be controlled.

Thinking of this, Master Qian couldn't help but sneer. Not to mention seeing things clearly and being able to control them, it was just muddying the waters. Together, they would probably be close to the fire.

Looking back and thinking about it, although the words of the ninth lady of the Mi family were all true, in fact, she not only scolded him and his boss, but even insinuated that the person who sent them here was using the wrong method. He wants to ask, what kind of person can come and reverse this situation?
Master Qian returned to the back house of the county government in despair. When he arrived at Yu Xianzun's study, he still looked very bad. Upon seeing this, Master Yu quickly invited Master Qian to sit down, poured tea himself, handed it to his hand, and looked at it. He finished his drink before asking: "Sir, what's going on? Could it be that things didn't go smoothly? That sister from the Mi family changed her mind?"

Master Qian then remembered and handed the box he had been subconsciously carrying to Yu County Zun's desk. He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing wrong with the matter. The ninth lady of the Mi family agreed immediately and only said that it would be delivered to Sang Wan. She doesn't want this reputation with her husband, saying that her Mi family is a small family and cannot afford such a reputation."

Upon hearing this, Lord Yu County looked at Master Qian with some surprise: "Is this what a little girl said?"

Master Qian nodded, his face still gloomy: "Not only that, she also talked about Sister Zhen, I'm afraid we are looking in the wrong direction."

If it was just an accident before, Yu Xianzun was shocked now. Thinking of Mi Yuyan's life experience, he thought she knew something, when he couldn't help but stood up and asked: "What did she say? ?”

"She said that the thief probably took Sister Zhen and the others away by water, and that it might have been done by people from Linnan City. She also asked some things about Hu Yuanwai, and it seemed that she was interested in it. Mr. Hu is extremely suspicious." Mr. Qian told the truth.

"Is this her guess or is there any evidence?" Yu Xianzun calmed down a little after hearing these possibilities and doubts.

Master Qian said all Mi Yuyan's words again, and said: "Although I feel that she is just guessing, I can't deny that she thinks more carefully than us, and she is more familiar with Linnan than us. She It is said that there must be monsters and monsters in Linnan City. That is most likely true. It is just that the people we sent out are not familiar with this place, or someone deliberately wanted us to see something, so they showed us something. "

"Are you saying that Yuan Hu is the evil spirit in this city? He did this? But it still doesn't make sense. What's the motive? Why would he do this as a businessman?" Yuxian Zun thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Dong Weng, I think what the ninth lady of the Mi family said makes sense. Linnan is not a place that can be thought of with common sense. Dong Weng, if you think about what she said again, you won't realize whether we are here." Is it in the wrong place, or must I be betrayed?" Master Qian couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Yu Xianzun's feelings were not as great as his own.

Yu Xianzun shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that if a man like Mr. Qian, who had a high self-esteem, was suddenly beaten to the head by a woman who was no more than a hairpin, his mood would definitely fluctuate greatly. He couldn't help but comfort him:

"To be honest, sir, since Sister Zhenzhen disappeared inexplicably, this feeling of powerlessness has often lingered in my heart. I can't get rid of it, but I can't think about it. I can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, the Tian family probably knows this place. It’s extremely difficult, we just act as eyeliners and thorns, we don’t have to think too highly of ourselves, and we don’t have to belittle ourselves.”

When Master Qian heard this, he looked up at Mr. Yu County in surprise. At this moment, he realized that he was the only one who couldn't see the situation clearly and thought too highly of himself...

Seeing Master Qian's appearance, Yuxian Zun simply said: "Sir, why don't you go to Linnan Mountain? In addition to bringing a message to Mr. Sang Wan, you can also disperse and dissipate."

Seeing Yu Xianzun say this, Master Qian knew that his real purpose was to let him go up the mountain to seek verification. He didn't say anything more, just nodded in agreement, turned around and went out. He simply asked for a horse and rode out. After leaving the city, we went to Linnan Mountain.
