Nongmen Shenjue

It was another night, and Wen Jixue still did not return.

Wen Jixue said when he left, the shortest time is three to five days, and the longest time is seven or eight days.After all, Feixian Town is not very convenient. Wen Jixue went to the county seat mainly to check whether the ancestral places of Tang and Lou are true, the time of ancestor worship in previous years, and the old relationship of in-laws.Wen Jixue will not go far, mainly because it is convenient and convenient to transmit news in the county, there are many foreign business travelers, and it is also convenient for the people below to enter and exit.

The two of them also agreed that Mu Qingyan's main purpose here was to conduct a secret investigation, so as not to startle the snake, and wait for Wen Jixue to return.

Mu Qingyan couldn't investigate the Tang and Lou families deeply, so he decided to change his target and focus on the Xu family.

These two days were not wasted. Although Feng Xiuying was bedridden to recover from her injuries, the visitors never stopped, even more frequently than before.Tang Youjun's wife, Qian Shi, would visit Feng Xiuying every day, and she even made two visits today, which is really unnatural.No matter how close relatives or best friends are, they don't stop visiting, especially Feng Xiuying is a patient.

Qian was so anxious that she had to visit the door frequently to urge her.

It stands to reason that if there is a major event, the man should be the master, and the woman in the house can't really be the master.It's just that Xu Shaoyang didn't show up, he just heard that he brought his wife to the town, and when he was looking for someone to ask, he learned that someone was going to visit friends in Fucheng.

Tonight, he intends to sneak into the house and look back, so as to know the purpose of Qian's graciousness.

He ate dinner outside, and ordered two more dishes when he went back, and sent them back to the inn for Rongdu.

After eating, Rong Du came over to talk to him.

It was really stuffy to stay in the inn all day, Rongdu stood outside the window and looked at the night.

"The inspection is over, you can go out for a walk." Mu Qingyan suggested.

"Forget it." Rong Du shook his head.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan didn't persuade him anymore: "I want to go out for a while."

Rong Du glanced at him, then nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Mu, pay attention to safety."

Rongdu saw Mu Qingyan's actions, and roughly guessed that the matter he investigated was related to Tang and Lou.Rong Du deliberately avoided suspicion and never took the initiative to ask, so Mu Qingyan naturally didn't say much.

After leaving the inn, Mu Qingyan walked more and more sideways, and finally went to the house halfway up the mountain.

The moonlight is bright tonight, the mountains and forests are secluded, the house is lit with dozens of lights, and no noise can be heard.The layout of the house has been checked earlier, and I know Feng Xiuying's residence.However, he didn't go to the main courtyard immediately, but went to the flower hall in the back garden, which was the place where Feng Xiuying talked with Mrs. Qian on the day of the banquet. He wanted to know what the third lady had heard that caused her death.

It was just a few days ago, so it was no burden for him.

From the moment San Niangzi appeared to the time she escaped safely, the conversation in the flower hall was clearly heard.As expected, the Xu, Qian, and Tang families had business dealings, but it was expected. It is estimated that Sheng's opinion was not good, and he avoided the Xu family, and Prince Duan might just be Tang Wanmei. .

However, even if San Niangzi heard this, although it was inappropriate, she really couldn't make the provocative Feng Xiuying kill her.

Feng Xiuying is not a fool, the third lady really heard the secret, and it touched the interests of several families, there is no need for her to charge forward, and there is no need to be so eager at all.Especially when Feng Xiuying joined Xu's family, she had learned a lot of tricks from behind the scenes. She shouldn't use this kind of blunt and ruthless tricks unless she was in a desperate situation.

After thinking about it, he moved the backtracking time forward.

She wondered what the two of them were talking about in the flower hall before San Niangzi eavesdropped.

-

In the flower hall, Mrs. Qian had been sitting for a while, holding tea impatiently, and looking out from time to time.Finally, there were footsteps approaching slowly, the bamboo curtain was raised, and Feng Xiuying came in.

"I said Sister Feng, you must be drunk, right?" Qian seemed to be joking, she sat still and didn't look at Feng Xiuying, showing complete displeasure.

Feng Xiuying smiled warmly and said, "I kept Sister Qian waiting for so long. I don't know why Sister Qian is in such a hurry?"

With a smile all over her eyes, Qian Shi looked at Feng Xiuying from head to toe without any scruples, and praised inexplicably: "Actually, if you look closely at my younger sister, she is well maintained. Although she is not as delicate as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, But it also has a charm that little girls don't have."

Feng Xiuying's smile faded slightly, and her eyes were alert: "Sister Qian really knows how to joke."

"I'm not joking. Your Uncle Xu family took in a young lady in March?" Qian asked her with a smile.

Feng Xiuying lowered her eyes: "Sister Qian is well informed."

"You just put up with it? Your uncle is also greedy. Didn't our family just send one over a year ago? Could it be that the Lou family's one is better than ours?"

Feng Xiuying's face was slightly cold, and her tone was also a bit cold: "Master is just greedy for novelty for a while! However, Sister Qian is not sure yet. That girl's life is unlucky, she died of illness in May."

"...I mean, after all, you have the means, I thought you would endure it." Qian smiled: "I'm just joking. Those aunts who have sex with each other are just a thing. If you don't let them go at home, they will It’s the same as stealing food outside, why bother? It’s not that you put people under your nose, everything is easy to handle, as long as their stomachs don’t bulge, you just feel at ease.”

"Sister Qian, let's get down to business." Feng Xiuying didn't want to mention that.

Qian Shi has always been respected and pampered, even Tang Youjun was suppressed by her, and the Tang family's parents treated her politely. Seeing Feng Xiuying's face turned, she was naturally unhappy, so she loosened her hand holding the tea bowl, and with a click, the tea bowl It fell at Feng Xiuying's feet, the tea splashed out, and Feng Xiuying's skirt was also stained.

"You!" Feng Xiuying has been a wife for several years, and her temper has long been cultivated. She thought she was no worse than Qian Shi, and when she saw the other party deliberately pouring tea, she stood up angrily and glared at her.

Qian's is leisurely: "Sister Feng, did you forget that little fairy? What's her name, surname Yu, Yu Wanshuang."

Feng Xiuying's face changed suddenly, she grabbed the armrest and sat down slowly.

With such a sound, the third lady took advantage of the chaos and hid under the window.

Mu Qingyan accepted the ability.

Yu Wanshuang? !

Obviously, the ramblings above, but what really touched Feng Xiuying was the name "Yu Wanshuang".

Is this also the root cause of Feng Xiuying's murder?

Is Yu Wanshuang... dead?

Judging from the conversation between the two, Yu Wanshuang is likely to be in the same batch as Feng Xiuying, even if there is a difference in age, they are not much different.At that time, because of the deaths of Feixian Shuangfeng and Sun Yuzhu, Lin Jia had carefully checked the Fairy Temple, not to mention anything else, if there were other fairy girls who died, Lin Jia should not have overlooked it. After all, how sensitive can it be compared to "Feixian Shuangfeng"?

If she didn't die, what was Feng Xiuying afraid of?

Did the Qian family know about this from the Tang family?

Mu Qingyan remembered that Mrs. Li was the one who went to the banquet with the third lady that day!

Mu Qingyan recalled the cleanliness of Qian's family visits for the past two days.

Every time Qian Shi came, he would wave back the servant girl.

Feng Xiuying had a wound band wrapped around her forehead, she was wearing loose clothes and leaning on the pillow, her hands had a lot of scrapes on the skin, and they were smeared with medicine, so they were dark brown.Probably in illness, without dressing up, and without powder on the face.Her skin is slightly yellowish, and her complexion is not good, her complexion is very unsightly, and she looks a few years older.

Qian Shi was sitting on the round stool opposite the bed, her nose was barely covered with a handkerchief, and she couldn't get used to the smell of medicine that filled the room.

"If you can't decide what to do, hurry up and find Xu Shaoyang, how long are you going to delay!" Qian's tone was very bad.

Feng Xiuying lowered her eyelids and calmly said, "I've found someone to deliver the letter. It will take a while, how can it be so fast. Don't worry, I will be back before the sacrifice."

Qian snorted coldly: "Are you procrastinating on purpose? Today we will open the skylight and tell the truth. If this business hadn't been helped by my natal family, how could it be where it is today? Why, now that you have made money, you have to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Feng Xiuying still looked like that: "Sister Qian is serious. The Xu family dare not do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, and being ungrateful. Sister Qian always talks about the rules, and it was agreed at the beginning. Xu's [-]%, Qian's [-]%, the Tang family will send [-]%, and the other [-]% will be sent to the capital. But now the Qian family has too much appetite, and they are still not satisfied after swallowing [-]%. How dare the Xu family send it again? If it goes on, where will the money to be sent to the capital come from? Out? Even Seventh Sister came to ask, and she said the same thing."

"How can I blame my natal family for this? For business, my natal brothers are running around every day, but they were investigated by the local government, and all the wine was destroyed. Should my natal family bear the loss? Besides, Now, why was the thing investigated? It’s not the Xu family!”

"Everything else is fine, I only checked the Qian family's place. My uncle said it earlier, the Qian family should keep a low profile, but they don't listen..."

"Feng Xiuying! That's not a small sum! My natal family's goods are also folded in. I just say, if you don't deliver the goods immediately, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qian turned away angrily.

Mu Qingyan listened thoughtfully.

It turned out that the wine business of these few partnerships was reasonable, and the Xu family's wine was still quite famous.However, these people are sneaky, plus... Although Xu Shaoyang belongs to the Xu family, he still runs the business for the family, at most he gets a dividend from the winery.If he wants to do business with outsiders, he definitely can't use things from the clan to secretly...steal the formula for private brewing, or fake wine?

This is tantamount to poaching a corner in the Xu family.

Back at the inn, just as he was trying to figure out the clues, Rong Du knocked on the door and came in.

"I hope it's not too late to say something. If Mr. Mu really wants to investigate Lou Fengyang's affairs, someone may know."

"Who?" Mu Qingyan didn't expect him to bring this up.

"Lou Chengyu's ninth cousin, Lou Yushan."

"You're young, right? How does she know? Even if she knows, how can she be willing to say it?" Mu Qingyan couldn't help sweeping his face when he saw that he was speaking with certainty.It's nothing to be able to charm a Lou Chengyu, and then a little girl.

"If I asked her, she would have said it." Rong Du coughed lightly, also a little embarrassed: "She is a concubine girl from the second room, but her biological mother is the most favored and quite shrewd, and can take care of most of the family in the second room. I have been in Lou's house for a few days, and I have also come into contact with her, she is relatively simple, but knows a lot of things."

Rong Du will not be aimless.

"It's a lot of trouble to get involved in these things." Mu Qingyan questioned.

"I know. I only have one request. When I find out about this, I hope Mr. Mu will send me away as soon as possible. As long as I leave the area of ​​Feixian Town." Rong Du showed his eagerness for the first time.
