"Quickly shut her mouth!" Master Yuan saw Shen Que frowning and shouted anxiously, for fear that the dirty words would make him unhappy.

The two government officials quickly found a piece of rag and blocked the mouth of Widow Xu as she cursed. She could only make a whimpering sound.

Finally, several government officials reported respectfully to Shen Que: "She was found at the foot of the mountain. She was already so delirious when we caught her."

After a pause, the officer added: "We also found unused sweat medicine on her body..."

Shen Que nodded, glanced at Widow Xu, and quietly ordered: "Take the person back to the county government office to resume his life."

Originally, such a murder case did not require him to come personally, but two people died at once, and the death was extremely cruel. If it was not solved in time, it would probably cause panic in Yong'an County and several neighboring villages.

Furthermore, he did have some selfish motives of his own when he came to Yuhe Village at this time.

After thinking about it, he crossed his long legs and walked towards Jiang's mother and daughter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was watching enthusiastically outside, secretly thinking that Widow Xu had really solved a big problem for her family. The next second, her sight was blocked by a tall "wall" again.

Jiang Wei grabbed her behind him and said quietly: "Master Shen, what else do you want?"

"Can you please take a moment to speak."

……

Under the big locust tree in the village.

The people sent by the county government have left one after another, and the people in the village have gone about their own business.

Early in the morning, everyone was delayed a lot of time because of the incident at Zhao Laitai's house.

In the past, some of the older ladies in the village liked to gather under the big locust tree in the village to do household chores and chat. But today, everyone stayed at home peacefully, as if they were all frightened by what happened today. They went to work, and those who had no work would just sew autumn and winter clothes at home to prepare for the winter.

For a while, no one was seen on the road in the village.

Therefore, when the mother, daughter and Shen Que stood under the big locust tree, no one else noticed.

"Master Shen, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say." At this moment, Jiang Wei also roughly guessed that Shen Que's visit to Yuhe Village this time was not just to handle cases.

Shen did not say anything, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it directly to Jiang Xiaoxiao who was standing aside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.

When her eyes fell on the envelope, the large characters "Jiang Xiaoxiao personally signed it" immediately came into view, and she immediately felt happy.

It's a letter from Jiang Yu!
She quickly reached out to take the letter and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Jiang's reply was sent to your Excellency."

No wonder she never received it...

Shen Zhe also gave a rare smile: "It is difficult for him to send letters in Beijing, so this letter was brought with him in the documents sent to me."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao paused.

She suddenly remembered what shopkeeper Zhou had said.

The identities of Shen Que and Jiang Yu, and the situation of the two brothers in Beijing...

Jiang Xiaoxiao's happy mood suddenly dropped. Jiang Yu must have put a lot of thought into sending this letter without anyone noticing.

She solemnly thanked Shen Que: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for sending me this letter."

Shen Zhen did not speak, but turned his gaze to Jiang Wei opposite.

Jiang Wei raised his lips and smiled: "Master Shen's visit this time is probably not just to deliver a letter, right?"

When Shen Que heard this, he stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "How is your relationship with the Huang family?" Jiang Wei raised his eyebrows and whispered two words: "Not familiar."

Shen Que added: "Do you know about the Huang family's efforts to establish connections and bribe the examiners for the eldest son of the Li family?"

Jiang Wei shook his head: "I don't know."

She really didn't know this.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao beside her couldn't help but change her expression, and she glanced at Shen Que quietly.

How could he know this...

The Huang family did this in a very secretive manner. If she hadn't read the original work and knew the plot, it would have been difficult for her to know.

It seems that Shen Que's identity is not as simple as Shopkeeper Zhou described. If he is really just a demoted county captain, he should not know such secrets of the Huang family...

But why did Shen Que suddenly bring this matter out?

And what is the purpose of his trip?
"I have investigated the relationship between your mother and daughter and the Li family." Shen Que glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Your daughter has been bullied by the Li family. You must have experienced these things..."

"Master Shen." Jiang Wei interrupted Shen Que, "No matter what relationship we had with the Li family before, we are all strangers with no relationship now. If there is anything in his family that offends you, or if there is anything wrong with you, If you want to find them, please find the right person, and please don’t implicate our mother and daughter.”

What he said was merciless.

The expression on Shen Que's face rarely darkened, but in the end he just said "Sorry to bother you" in a low voice, then turned and left.

After Shen Que left, Jiang Xiaoxiao whispered: "Mom, are we going to be a little bit like this..."

After all, he is also Jiang Yu's brother in name.

Jiang Yu has business cooperation with her family, and Shen Que has helped them. Is it really okay to be so disrespectful?
"This person is not simple." Jiang Wei looked at Shen Que's leaving figure in the distance and said: "It's better for us to have less contact with him, so as not to involve our mother and daughter in the future."

Since her mother said so, Jiang Xiaoxiao could only nod in agreement.

Anyway, what her mother said is correct. Her mother is the main heroine in the original novel. Not to mention having good luck and being able to survive all the way to the finale, her sixth sense is always accurate!
It's impossible to say that Shen Zhen really had some bad intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately provoked their relationship with the Li family to talk about something...

The mother and daughter returned home, and Shen Que also left Yuhe Village on horseback.

But he did not go back to the county government directly, but went to Yuelai Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Zhou saw his frown, so he quickly asked someone to prepare several bowls of lychee paste and golden plum juice, and brought them to the private room on the second floor.

Shen Que glanced at it and said with a lack of interest: "Is there no more ice cream?"

Shopkeeper Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, the Jiang family has stopped delivering goods to the town. If you want to eat, I will send someone to the Jiang family now..."

"That's all." Shen Que sighed softly, "Since the season has passed, let it pass."

This means I don’t want to eat anymore.

Shopkeeper Zhou was relieved.

As the urging voices from above became more and more urgent, Shen Que's mood became more and more anxious these days, and he was also a little scared. It was obviously autumn, but once he faced Shen Que, When he saw the Buddha, he couldn't help but sweat.

Shen Que looked coldly at the lychee ointment in the bowl and tasted the plum juice. He didn't move and just said softly: "The Jiang family is not willing to help."

"Have you asked her about her family?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked cautiously.

Shen Que shook his head, and then sneered: "Beware of me just like you are wary of thieves, so be very vigilant."
