Xiao Qinghuan

But Jiang Xiaohan couldn't come right away - he was stumped by the Pingjiang mansion.

He didn't intend to give up on Granny Wen's clue, so although he had decided that Granny Wen really didn't know what was going on, he still ran to Granny Wen's courtyard twice more.

During the period, she boiled water, washed clothes, chopped firewood and carved wood for Granny Wen, which really surprised Yan Qing.He originally thought that Jiang Xiaohan was a wealthy son who never touched the spring water, but he didn't expect that although he looked like an exquisite flower shelf, it was actually very practical.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't ask Granny Wen much. He just smiled and rolled up his sleeves to do the work every day, and said some homely things to Granny Wen.

Although Yan Qing was a little uncertain about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he adhered to the WTO principle of listening more and seeing more, so he didn't raise any objections.

On the third day, after Yan Qing and Jiang Xiaohan went out together, they were already accustomed to walking up the road to Granny Wen's house, but Jiang Xiaohan stopped her.

"I won't go to my mother-in-law's house today." Jiang Xiaohan said, "Let's change places."

Yan Qing was noncommittal, just nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal him to lead the way.

"The information I can get from Granny Wen is limited. I just want to see if she really doesn't know about it in the past two days." Jiang Xiaohan walked and talked to Yan Qing, "From the actual situation, you The previous judgment was correct, she should indeed be ignorant."

"But if she has absolutely nothing to do with Wen Zui's guilt, it's impossible for Wen Zui to expel her from the Wen residence for no reason, yet still have to take care of her all the time."

When Jiang Xiaohan was thinking, he would subconsciously tap his palm with a folding fan. Today he brought a sandalwood fan with hard bones, and he didn't even know that his palm was flushed.Yan Qing looked aside, but couldn't stop her. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't bear to look away from his hand, and interrupted him loudly.

"Grandma Wen's husband was broken and thrown out by the Wen family, and I couldn't find anything after trying to find out." Yan Qing and Jiang Xiaohan turned around an intersection, looked up at the pier not far away, and said lightly: " So you want to start with her son."

Jiang Xiaohan told him that he was right, he paused the hand holding the fan, and unfolded the folding fan with a smile, swaying in front of Yan Qing's eyes twice like a peacock spreading its tail, before nodding: "Exactly."

Yan Qing: "..."

He was really going to be numb by Jiang Xiaohan's temperament of flirting from time to time.

Granny Wen's family was originally a family slave of the Wen family, named Yingxiang.Maybe everyone in this world is the same, so the stories are not too different.When she was young, Granny Wen was the maidservant next to the old lady of the Wen family. Later, because she was on good terms with Mrs. Wen's family, she didn't want to be a roommate for Wen Zui's father, so she begged the old lady to let her go to the hot spring village outside. , married a steward.

Later, by coincidence, Granny Wen and Mrs. Wen's family gave birth to their children. However, Granny Wen may have been unlucky, and the eldest son died of illness within three months.

When the old lady of the Wen family heard about this, she couldn't bear it, so she called Granny Wen back to the Wen residence and became Wen Zui's nanny.

Granny Wen's son is named Feng Lei, and his age is similar to that of Concubine Wen Gui. If he is still alive, he should be 37 or [-] years old.

It is not difficult to find the owner of the ship where Feng Lei used to run the ship.Although the weather was gloomy today and it rained a little when I got up early, the pier was still bustling with traffickers and porters. A few merchant ships were moored in the water. The hired porters argue.

Jiang Xiaohan seemed to know this place well, and led Yan Qing to twist and turn in the crowd, bypassing the busy work area in front, chose a small road to the commercial street by the water, stood at the entrance of the street and looked , and finally entered a plain facade.

Yan Qing took a quick glance at the door, only to find that the store didn't even have a signboard. There were a few sacks piled up at the door, and scattered plant debris scattered on the steps, which seemed to have been accidentally left behind.Yan Qing bent down and twirled it, and after smelling it closely, he realized that it was the excellent Biluochun.

He pursed his lips, brushed the dust off his hands calmly, looked at the street again, and followed into the store.

Compared with other shops, this store looked rather shabby. There was not even a young apprentice in the counter, only the shopkeeper was talking to Jiang Xiaohan.

"Oh, you ask a buddy from three years ago, how can I remember it all at once." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "To tell you the truth, we are often short of manpower on the ship, and we will Temporarily hire some porters from the wharf to move the goods, and the wages are paid for each boat trip. If every member of me remembers, then I don’t need to work.”

Jiang Xiaohan naturally knew that he was making an excuse. He had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he mixed with a group of old fried dough sticks every day. He didn't pay attention to the skills of a small shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, I remember that you capsized a ship two years ago, and the entire ship's goods and people didn't come back." Jiang Xiaohan leaned against the counter, reached out to tap the countertop, and asked slowly: "Why, such a large sum of money?" Yinzi, you don’t remember either?”

"This..." The shopkeeper's eyes were erratic, and he said falteringly: "Yes... there is such a thing... But it was a big merchant ship, and it was a long journey from Pingjiang Mansion to Dongping Mansion. There are quite a few people on board, and there are more than [-] young and middle-aged people who are just working hard, and you suddenly said to find one of them, I really can’t think of it.”

"That ship is a cargo ship carrying grain, so there are indeed quite a few young and middle-aged people who are responsible for moving the goods."

Before the shopkeeper could heave a sigh of relief, Jiang Xiaohan suddenly changed the subject and said in a cold voice, "But you can't remember the woman who was in charge of washing and cooking and the 12-year-old girl on that ship?"

The shopkeeper only felt that the sound was like thunder, he trembled and forced an ugly smile: "This..."

"The woman and the little girl are Feng Lei's wife and daughter. The three of them came to you to beg for a living, but within two months, the whole family died in this raging river." Jiang Xiaohan's eyes were as cold as knives, and he shot straight at the shopkeeper. : "You can't remember either?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened by him that he didn't know how much he knew for a moment, he hesitated for a long time, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his cheeks trembled convulsively, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaohan took out an iron plate from his pocket and threw it on the table, sneering, "The government handles the case, why don't you tell me quickly, do you have to see the government before you are willing to speak?"

The sign is made of refined iron, and it is the identification of the policeman's identity.It seems to be a uniform system, and Yan Qing has seen other policemen hanging it around their waists in other places to show their identities.

This blow seemed to hit the shopkeeper's heart. The sweat on his forehead hit the counter, his face was pale, he limped and stumbled out of the counter, and knelt down in front of Jiang Xiaohan with a plop.

"My lord, it's only because of me that I don't want to say it." The shopkeeper reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaohan's hem, begging, "Everyone knows that Feng Lei was kicked out from Wenfu, and I dare to use him because of his wife and children." But he didn't know good from bad, and he didn't know what to do in Wen's mansion again and again. The night before the boat capsized in Jiangnei, he was beaten out by the guards at the back door of Wen's mansion, and he left here the next day. It's a matter of late...My lord, I'm just a businessman, so I don't dare to listen and ask more questions."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohan turned his head and looked at Yan Qing - sure enough.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaohan didn't speak any more, the shopkeeper tentatively turned his eyes away, and secretly glanced at his expression, only to see Jiang Xiaohan lowered his eyes, looking down at him, and was so frightened that he dared not make a sound.

That's it.Yan Qing thought, bluffing and deceiving, she is familiar with the tricks of torture.

The shopkeeper is no more than an ordinary person, how can he compare to Jiang Xiaohan's intimidating aura, as long as Jiang Xiaohan is stable, relying on the bottom line he just laid, the shopkeeper may have to explain in a few words.

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper saw Jiang Xiaohan's expression on his face, his heart was pounding, so he could only say again: "My lord, I only know that Feng Lei has a rift with the Wen family, I really don't know about the rest. I am just a shopkeeper For matters on the boat, you have to ask the boatman who leads the boat."

Jiang Xiaohan was silent for a moment before he asked indifferently, "Where is the boatman?"

"At the pier!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw this, he let go of his hand and kowtowed to him: "According to the time, the boatman should still be at the pier now, I can take the adults to look for it."

"lead the way."
