Seeing him asking about his wives and concubines in the inner house, Zheng Ming was thoughtful.

"I didn't hear that there was any disharmony. But, the eldest wife of the Yu family is really virtuous, and she is not as stingy as Yu Youcai. She raised a daughter and two daughters, and she has grandchildren. The little aunt looked down on her face. Respectful, I have a plan in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't be able to coax Yu Youcai."

Mu Qingyan questioned: "In this way, it doesn't matter if the child is raised by the aunt, why do you want to give it to the regular wife?"

Rich families have this rule, but rules are dead, people are alive, even some rich families let their aunts raise their children for various reasons.

The Yu family is just a rich man from the countryside, there are so many rules, and the little aunt is favored, so they should be able to keep their son.Furthermore, the main wife of the Yu family has children and grandchildren, and her status is stable. It would not be a bad idea to enjoy the happiness of her children and grandchildren. Why bother to use a child born to her aunt to train herself?Even if she is virtuous, as long as she is not stupid, she will not take this hot potato.

Zheng Ming was stopped by the question: "It's not clear. However, after you say it like this, it is indeed a bit weird."

"Brother Mu, what did you see?" Chen Shiliu had been listening carefully, and as he asked each sentence, he also had the feeling of piercing the window paper.However, there is still a layer missing, and the truth cannot be seen clearly.Furthermore, he himself was not that confident, so he wanted to confirm with Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sixteen, you should investigate this case. As long as you are careful and deliberate, I believe you will find it out. I can remind you that this matter is the same as that of two years ago. It doesn't matter if the ghost mother steals the child."

"It doesn't matter? Then, someone from the Yu family did it?" Chen Shiliu's eyes brightened, because he also guessed so.

"Think more about what I just said, and then carefully analyze the members of Yu's family and the benefits of doing this. Generally speaking, even if the beneficiary is not the perpetrator, it must be related to the perpetrator." Many reasons Simple, but if no one summarizes and tells them, it will be like looking at flowers in a fog, and they will always be ignorant.

Chen Shiliu fell into deep thought: "If it's someone from the inside... It seems that the most suspicious person is Yu's wife, but in fact, doing so will not bring her any benefits. Even if my aunt gives birth to two or three sons, her status will not be shaken. , because the aunt's son has grown up, and the wife's son will take over the family business at that time."

After all, there is an age gap. Yu Youcai is already over forty years old, and it is a long life to live to sixty.

"The members of the Yu family are simple, it is impossible for Yu Youcai, and his eldest son can't do it..." Chen Shiliu ruled it out one by one, and in the end it was the child's biological mother who was a little suspicious, but as the saying goes, a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, but... …

"Could it really be the little aunt who did it? She deliberately said that the child was lost and wanted to put the blame on the wife. Anyway, she said that the ghost mother stole the child, and she can bring the child back in a few days." Chen Shiliu made a guess like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. Staring at Mu Qingyan for affirmation.

Mu Qingyan didn't answer, just said: "Guessing is useless, it's best to find evidence if you actually check it out."

"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth of this matter!" Chen Shiliu's confidence not only increased greatly, but also his fighting spirit was high.He felt that his thoughts at this moment were unprecedentedly clear, and he felt that everything was under control.

Chen Shiliu took He Chuan downstairs and left.

Zheng Ming could clearly see that it was Mu Qingyan who was deliberately guiding Chen Shiliu, not to mention Chen Shiliu suddenly became enlightened, even Zheng Ming felt that he could investigate the case at this moment.In many cases, the case is not complicated, but the details are ignored, and it is easy to find out the details.

As soon as this incident broke out, people's attention was focused on the ghost mother stealing the child, and the old news from two years ago was so hot that they ignored the difference between Yu Youcai and other people.

Mu Qingyan frowned and laughed: "Didn't you invite me to dinner?"

Zheng Ming said with a smile: "Young Master Chen is a lover of personality, hot-tempered. If Mu Shen doesn't dislike him, I'll be the host."

Mu Qingyan smiled and waved his hands: "Master Zheng, you don't have to be so polite, and don't call him Mu Shenduan. You have solved a case by chance, so you shouldn't be so flattered. You won't eat, and to tell you the truth, Mr. Zheng, the two younger brothers in the family recently I am practicing hard for the Dragon Boat Festival competition, and I don’t feel relieved if I don’t watch from the sidelines.”

Zheng Ming was surprised and said: "Your brother is also participating? I don't know which one? Our teahouse also funded the award, water picking, the winner can get 100 taels of silver. It is said that there are many people who signed up for water picking this year, and the competition must be fierce. The gambling house will also set a handicap."

Caiqing was originally a lion dance activity, but now it has been slightly modified and has become a regular program of the Dragon Boat Festival in Fenglin County.

In advance, a water platform was built in the center of the lake, a wooden frame about two feet high was built, and colored balls were hung on the top of the frame.The participants were all waiting on the shore. As soon as the gong sounded, they swam desperately to get close to the high platform. Only the top [-] were eligible to climb, and the latter would naturally be eliminated.

"It's picking greens on the water." In fact, Mu Wen and Mu Wu have two big hearts, and they are also looking forward to other projects besides picking greens on the water.

"It's a coincidence, I wish Brother Ling the best of luck."

After chatting in the teahouse for a while, I met Chang Yunsheng again.Today, the other party said that the new book, it's fine if you don't come, but since it's here, you must seal two taels of silver.This feeling is quite strange, because Chang Yunshan is telling his story, and he always feels that he is praising himself.

Returning to the ferry, Zhang Zhong came out to greet him as soon as he walked past the door of the inn.

"Mu Treasurer, please stop." Zhang Zhong probably had been instructed, and he was very polite and respectful to Mu Qingyan: "Mu Treasurer came back from the city, do you know if you have had lunch?"

"Not yet."

"That's just right, the owner is about to have dinner, so he specially asked me to invite shopkeeper Mu."

Mu Qingyan thought for a while, nodded and walked in.

The food is served in the hall.

Although there are three doors in the three rooms, there is no partition at all. It is a whole large space. The east end is the bedroom, the west is the study room, and the middle is the hall. , Broad atmosphere, simple and comfortable.

"Why didn't you eat in the city?" Wen Jixue was less polite than before, and her attitude was naturally generous.

Mu Qingyan also took the other party as a close friend, took his seat, and briefly mentioned the affairs in the teahouse.

"Ghost mother? Listen to what you said, even I am curious." Wen Jixue is not lying, but although he is young, he has a lot of knowledge and has seen many things in the world, so this Curiosity is not heavy.

"I guess it was done by someone from the Yu family. Chen Shiliu is quite flexible, and with He Chuan's help, he should find out." Mu Qingyan said lightly, not taking this matter too seriously.

He is a little hungry now.

There are a total of four dishes on the table, shrimp tofu, shredded pork with green peppers, roasted eggplant with minced meat, cold silver shredded vegetables, and another ham and seaweed soup.The amount of food on each plate is not much, if it is an adult man with a big appetite, he can finish it.

"The old couple in charge of the kitchen also opened the shop. The home-cooked dishes are good, and the husband and wife have their own strengths. You can taste it." Wen Jixue didn't do the trick of persuading customers. He greeted and ate .

Mu Qingyan was not too polite, and tasted several dishes one by one, and he had to say that the cooking skills were good.He still prefers this cold dish, and the cold lotus root has a different flavor.

Seeing that he liked it, Wen Jixue moved the cold dish in front of him.

Mu Qingyan paused and accepted the kindness.

During the meal, the two basically did not talk.

After dinner, Mu Qingyan couldn't leave immediately, so he sat in the study.Here is a new house, everything is newly bought, and so is the study.A book, pen, ink and paper are all brand new, but there is a travel note on the table that has been opened there.

Someone ahead came to clear away the dishes. It was a young girl, the daughter of a couple in the kitchen.

Mu Qingyan took a look, the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, fair and delicate, her hair was simply tied up and braided into a black braid behind her head, adorned with a silver bead hairpin, she looked very pretty in ordinary schools .The girl came in without looking sideways, put the bowls, chopsticks and plates into the wooden basin, wiped the table clean, and re-covered the tablecloth.

Wen Jixue ordered casually: "Bring hot water to make tea."

"Yes." The girl answered and left quickly.

"Her surname is Jiang, Jiang Xiaonan." Seeing him sizing up, Wen Jixue asked him, "Do you think she looks good?"

Mu Qingyan gave him a strange look, and didn't hear any frivolity from his face or voice.

"Their family is selling a death contract. Originally, Jiang's family ran an ancestral restaurant, and her family was well-off, but her appearance was too conspicuous in that place. Facing someone who can't afford to offend, she can only leave her hometown." Wen Jixue Just a few words about the Jiang family.

Mu Qingyan nodded lightly, not surprised.

"Are you going to live here from now on?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm going to change my life. This place is good." Wen Jixue seemed to have thought of something, and mentioned the previous topic: "Are you interested in the rumor of the ghost mother stealing her son?"

"If someone entrusts it, maybe I will investigate." There are so many bizarre things in the world, he is not like Chen Shiliu, who just explores when he is curious.

Clinker Wen Jixue said: "How about I entrust you?"

"you?"

"I am very interested in this matter, and besides, I have the right to find something to do when I am free every day." Wen Jixue acted like a wealthy idler looking for fun.

If Chen Shiliu said this reason, he would believe it.

Although I don't believe it in my heart, it doesn't hinder anything.

Mu Qingyan asked back: "How much commission fee do you pay?"

"You make a price." The tone is not short of money.

Mu Qingyan smiled: "Well, business is talking about business. Because it was a rumor two years ago, the difficulty is high, and the cost is naturally high. The base price is 100 taels, plus ten taels a day for the investigation. Yours. Within seven days, I will definitely give you a result."

"No problem, it's just that I want to participate." Wen Jixue made her request.

"That's better." Mu Qingyan suspected that the person could steal the child quietly, and he might have some skill. If Wen Jixue followed, his safety would be more secure.
