Zhang Ehu and Bai Yingyang were taken aback when they heard him guess right, and then thought: "The county magistrate is an official appointed by the imperial court. Being killed is not a trivial matter. If the murderer can be caught and brought to justice, it will be a great achievement. Newly appointed The county magistrate naturally wants to find out the case, so it's not surprising that Quan'er can guess right."

At this time, Jian Ren came again, he didn't say hello to Zhang Ehu, he just talked Huang Quan: "I just said a few words to you, and you ran out!"

Huang Quan threw his hand away and said angrily: "I can't come out to play, why are you staring at me all day?"

Bai Shao smiled and said: "Master Jian is afraid that you will run away from home."

Huang Quan snorted, "I won't run away from home. Huanghua Village is my home, and if he wants to leave, he will go."

Jian Ren said urgently: "I was the one who was wrong last night, I'm sorry, don't be angry!"

Huang Quan said: "I'm not angry, I'm talking to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Bai." Then he said: "Didn't you investigate the case of Yan Kuo's murder? Now Mr. Zhang is also investigating. If you have any clues, let me tell you." them."

Jian Ren said: "The case is very interesting to investigate, that is, Xiao Yu killed Mr. Yan, and only if he cannot be caught, the case will not be closed."

Zhang Ehu said: "But the arresters in the government office say their own things, saying that there are other people behind the scenes."

Jian Ren laughed and said: "They have worked under Mr. Yan for many years, and they have known the Yan family. Sometimes the Yan family orders them, and they are not happy. They have prejudices against the Yan family, and there are some random guesses."

Bai Yingyang said: "Catcher Lu quickly said that it was a follower named Mo Yan next to Mr. Yan who ordered Xiao Yu to kill someone."

Huang Quan said disdainfully: "That old loach relies on guesswork to solve the case, and he has never been right once. If he says yes, he definitely won't."

Zhang Ehu touched his little head and laughed haha: "Little devil, it's not big or small!"

Huang Quan sang with a smile: "Old loach, old loach, can't marry a wife; old loach, old loach, will be single all his life..."

Chi Shao and Bai Shao listened to his fun singing and laughed happily.

Seeing him singing and laughing more and more sweetly, Jian Ren became obsessed with it, and thought in his heart: "You better not marry a wife for the rest of your life..."

Huang Quan sang for a while, then said: "Zhao, Yan Kuo is very vicious, he deserves his death."

Bai Yingyang said: "Why is he vicious?"

Huang Quandao: "It is said that Yan Kuo is very vengeful. When he was a scholar, he was coldly looked at. As soon as he became a county magistrate, he arrested all those who looked down on him, framed him with various reasons, and put him in prison, unless he knelt down and begged for mercy. Otherwise, they will never let them go. Some people with integrity refused to be humiliated, but they were dragged away by him and beaten until they were crippled. , This is called a cycle of karma, and the retribution is not good!"

Bai Yingyang said: "You actually know this too."

Huang Quan said: "Master Jian also investigated this case when she first took office, and inquired about Yan Kuo's past."

Zhang Ehu wondered: "Isn't Mo Yan very friendly with Yan Kuo? Why doesn't he care about Yan Kuo doing these things?"

Huang Quan said: "Mo Yan is a servant of the Yan family, how can he take care of his business?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Persuasion from the sidelines is fine, like me, I don't like reading, there are many things I don't understand, so the little white sheep will tell me what can be done and what can't be done."

Huang Quan said with a smile: "Master Bai must have told you not to beat people, did you listen?"

Bai Yingyang, Jian Ren, and Doctor Qiu laughed together. Chi Shao and Bai Shao saw that Zhang Ehu didn't look so scary, so they also laughed.

Zhang Ehu snorted, "You little brat doesn't understand, I hit the right person."

Huang Quan stuck out his tongue and said, "Who should be hit? You're just in a bad mood, and you're just trying to get angry at someone."

Zhang Ehu couldn't talk to him, so he didn't talk to him at all.

Jian Ren said: "It's not that Mo Yan doesn't care about Mr. Yan, but he doesn't know at all. I told him what Mr. Yan did, but he still didn't believe it, and said I lied to him." After a pause, he continued: "But even if you know It's useless, I see that the inkstone is limp, and the ears are also soft, Master Yan only needs to blow a few words of pillow wind, and he will probably believe the crimes of the captured people."

Bai Yingyang thought of the inn outside the city of Wuxi. Luo Yan and his wife quarreled for some reason in the early morning. Mrs. Luo beat and scolded Luo Yan in public, without any regard for his face, and made Luo Yan so angry that she wanted to divorce her. Who ever wanted Mrs. Luo to apologize , Luo Yan immediately forgave her, it seems that this person is really soft-hearted.

Bai Shao suddenly interjected: "Master Jian, what do you mean by blowing pillow wind?"

Jian Ren was startled, and seeing Huang Quan sniggering aside, he laughed and said, "Sleeping at night... I didn't close the window properly, and the wind blows in and blows into my ears. This is pillow wind."

Chi Shao and Bai Shao were puzzled by what they heard, and wanted to ask, Dr. Qiu hurriedly said: "Chi Shao, Bai Shao, come with me to the pharmacy to see the prescription." Without waiting for the two to agree, they pulled away and left.

Huang Quan giggled and said: "Chi Shao and Bai Shao are both 19 years old, older than me, Doctor Qiu is afraid that they will know this, they are really old antiques, my brother gave birth to Xiao Xiao when they were their age." Xiaoxiao is Huang Quan's niece.

Bai Yingyang thought to himself: "Tiger is 29 years old, and he half-understands this, and I'm too embarrassed to tell him this... Sigh, but why didn't Xiao Qiaoer tell him?" Like him, I was ashamed to speak.

Zhang Ehu said: "Mo Yan seems to like Yan Kuo very much."

Jian Ren said: "Yes, I like him so much, I regard him as a treasure."

Zhang Ehu said: "But Yan Kuo has many lovers, and he failed Mo Yan."

Jian Ren said: "Master Yan also cherishes the inkstone, but he is too careless. When he sees a beautiful young man, he can't hold back. I heard from Captain Lu that once, Mr. Yan fell in love with a rich man surnamed Wu. , Mr. Wu ignored him, he refused to give up, climbed the wall to enter Wu's house on a winter night to ask for a meeting, but was bitten by a few dogs raised by Wu's house. Injured foot, still climbed over the wall to get in. After several days in a row, Mr. Wu was moved and led him into the house to make friends."

Zhang Ehu heard it interesting, he laughed and said: "He actually has such patience?" He thought: "Before Luo Yan said that he never forced people, I still didn't believe it, but from this point of view, it is true."

Jian Ren said with a smile: "Master Yan prides himself on being a romantic and talented person, and he doesn't bother to use strong methods to do such things. Besides, he is quite talented, handsome, and a handsome man. Many people are fascinated by him as soon as they see him. There is no need for strong measures."

Zhang Ehu said: "He has so many lovers, how much sincerity he can leave to Moyan, I think it is hypocrisy."

Jian Ren said: "Master Yan is really sincere to Mo Yan. Although he has many lovers, most of them are dewy marriages. Huo Huo quickly said, how good is Master Yan with the beautiful boys outside? As long as Mo Yan says he doesn't like it, he will immediately If you abandon the other party, Lord Yan will try his best to get what Mo Yan wants."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Could it be that even Miss Zeng's family also wants Mo Yan, so Master Yan gave his fiancée to Mo Yan as his wife?"

Jian Ren said: "Master Yan doesn't like women, so it doesn't matter if he marries or not."

Bai Yingyang said: "Didn't he want to have a son to carry on the family?"

Jian Ren said: "I heard people say that Mo Yan's second son looks very similar to Master Yan, and Mo Yan loves him the most, I wonder if it is..."

At this time, someone outside the door shouted eagerly: "Little white sheep!"

Bai Yingyang heard that it was Mrs. Zhang's voice, jumped up with joy, and fell down again in pain, Zhang Ehu hurried to help him, more than [-] or [-] people had already crowded in at the door, all of them were Zhang's family, Zhang's mother and daughter were naturally among them, As soon as they saw Bai Yingyang, they cried like crazy, and Mrs. Zhang jumped up and hugged him, crying and cursing: "You child... why are you so impulsive to jump off the cliff... If something goes wrong, I won't live anymore !"

Bai Yingyang was very guilty, and cried: "My lady, I'm sorry..."

Jian Ren saw Zhang's family crowded around the hospital bed, chattering in unison, so he pulled Huang Quan back to get out of the way. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd, and his expression changed drastically.

Huang Quan noticed something strange about him, he didn't know why, he followed his gaze and saw Chen Biluo among the crowd.

Chen Biluo also looked at him, her face flushed, and she lowered her head.

Huang Quan hadn't seen him for nearly half a year, when he saw him suddenly, his heart trembled, and he wanted to go up and talk to him.

Jian Ren hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Quan'er, come home with me, Madam is waiting for you!"

Huang Quan was pulled out of the door by him, so he had no choice but to give up, but saw a boy in orange clothes standing outside the door, looking into the room through the window lattice.

Jian Ren recognized Zhang Ehu's cousin, and asked, "Mr. Wen, why don't you come in?"

Wen Yufu said: "There are a lot of people... let's go in later..."

Bai Yingyang was still seriously injured, and Doctor Qiu said that it was better not to move him. Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking him home to recuperate, so she stayed and took care of Bai Yingyang with her daughter.

Zhang Xiuyuan stayed with him every step of the way every day, not only feeding him food and water, but also personally scrubbing his body and changing his medicine.

Bai Yingyang's heart skipped a beat and said, "She takes such good care of me, she's probably willing to change her mind." But whenever he made any further pushes, Zhang Xiuyuan would immediately dodge.

After more than ten days, the pain in Bai Yingyang's body was gone, and he could barely walk on the ground.

Seeing that he was always lying on the bed, Zhang Xiuyuan's fair skin had become even paler. Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't snowing today and the weak sunlight was shining into the valley, Zhang Xiuyuan helped him go outside to bask in the sun.

When he came to the open place by the mountain, Zhang Xiuyuan saw that the sun was shining brightly, so he borrowed a lazy chair from the villagers and put a thick quilt on it. After helping Bai Yingyang to lie down, he wrapped him tightly with the quilt.

People in the village passed by from time to time, seeing her taking care of Bai Yingyang like a son, they couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yingyang saw that not far ahead was the cliff he had fallen from. The bottom of the cliff was covered with thick haystacks. Looking up the cliff, he could see that the steep cliff was scattered with dense branches, covered with snow and frost. Ice forms on the branches and leaves, and the sunlight shines like a dazzling glazed wall.

Zhang Xiuyuan thought of Bai Yingyang's fall from then on, so he was terrified, and said silently: "Thank you for God's blessing, otherwise, if you fall from such a height, you will definitely... definitely..."

A voice behind him said, "I'm sure I'll fall to pieces!"

Bai and Zhang turned their heads and saw several young men and women in the village making a snowman. The one who spoke just now was a boy about 14 years old. Bai Yingyang recognized him as Huang Chuncai, the grandson of the village chief, and asked, "There are often people here. Did you fall?"

Huang Chuncai said: "It doesn't happen often, there are always a few throughout the year, most of them are woodcutters who go into the woods to cut firewood, stumble and fall."

Bai Yingyang said: "Did any children fall?"

As soon as these words came out, the young people looked at each other in blank dismay.

A girl said: "The forest above is so dangerous, my mother won't allow us to go."

A boy said: "Yes."

All the young people said to each other, without exception, they all said that they had never seen it, only Huang Chuncai said: "I have never seen it, but I heard from my grandfather that a child fell down more than ten years ago..."

The young people were shocked and hurriedly asked: "How is that child?"

Huang Chuncai frowned and said, "If you fall from such a high cliff, the adults will be smashed to pieces, and the children will not be meat paste."

All the young people changed their colors and tremblingly said: "That kid... how old..."

Huang Chuncai said: "Grandpa said that the child's body was smashed to pieces, he may not be sure how old it is, but later his brother found him and found out that he was two years old."

The young people said pitifully, "It's so pitiful!"

Huang Chuncai said: "His elder brother is even more pitiful. Grandpa said that his elder brother knew that his younger brother was dead, so he cried so hard that he fainted. Then he fell ill and lay in bed for more than three months."

Bai Yingyang said: "How old is his brother?"

Huang Chuncai said: "I should be 23 or [-] years old this year."

The young people said: "Hey, Chuncai, how do you remember it so clearly?"

Huang Chuncai said with a smile: "Every year during Qingming and Chongyang, he goes to the cemetery behind our village to pay homage to his deceased brother, and even talks to grandpa. I've met him before, how could I not know about it?"

The young people said: "Why haven't we met?"

Huang Chuncai said: "He never entered the village. I only saw him from a distance at the entrance of the village. Grandpa once invited him to sit in the village, but he said that when he saw this cliff, he remembered the scene of his brother's death and felt sad. I would like to come in." I thought to myself: "But why didn't he come in Chongyang this year..."

The young people said: "It's really pitiful..."

Bai Yingyang said to Zhang Xiuyuan: "I want to visit the cemetery."

Zhang Xiuyuan was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Have you forgotten, your empress forbids you to go to the cemetery!"

Bai Yingyang said: "I'm only going for a while, don't talk to your empress."

Seeing that he insisted on going, Zhang Xiuyuan could only say, "I'll go with you."

There is a cemetery in the deep valley behind Huanghua Village, quite far from the village. There are hundreds of graves densely packed there. Huanghua Village has lived here for generations, and most of the burials are the ancestors of the villagers.

Zhang Xiuyuan was terrified at first, but when she saw that the cemetery was covered with snowflakes, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the sun was shining, she didn't feel it was scary. Seeing that Bai Yingyang was clearing the snow off the tombstones, she hurriedly said, "Be careful of frostbite hands." !" Break off a few sections of pine branches, tie them into a bundle, let Bai Yingyang stand, and sweep it by himself, and after sweeping for a while, he thought: "The little white sheep must have pity for the child who fell from the cliff, and wants to pay homage to him."

At this moment, Bai Yingyang came to her side and said, "Axiu, don't scan."

Zhang Xiuyuan said: "Have you seen the child's tomb?"

Bai Yingyang said: "I see."

Zhang Xiuyuan said: "Where is it? I will also go to worship him."

Bai Yingyang shook his head and said, "Go back."

Zhang Xiuyuan was very puzzled, saw that there were tears in his eyes, he was waiting to be consulted, but saw that he had turned and walked out of the valley, Zhang Xiuyuan did not dare to stay in the cemetery alone, and hurriedly followed.

Halfway there, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, Zhang Xiuyuan opened a paper umbrella to cover Bai Yingyang.

Bai Yingyang looked at the snow falling all over the sky, and said softly: "At this time last year, we were playing on the Yanyu Bridge, and it was snowing in the sky, and you brought me a paper umbrella to cover it."

Zhang Xiuyuan said: "Yes..."

Bai Yingyang suddenly took her hand holding the umbrella and said, "Axiu, please, marry me, let's be husband and wife."

Zhang Xiuyuan lowered his head when he heard this.

Bai Yingyang said: "The matter between you and Fu'er...isn't from the heart, right? If that's the case, I don't care about anything."

Zhang Xiuyuan stared at his face, and she burst into tears after a while.

Bai Yingyang hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Axiu, you..."

Zhang Xiuyuan suddenly said: "Little white sheep..."

Bai Yingyang hurriedly said: "What?"

Zhang Xiuyuan said with tears: "I... am pregnant..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Bai Yingyang's heart firmly, the pain made him spit out a mouthful of blood rushing up his throat, his eyes were dazzled, his feet were frivolous, he staggered and nearly fell down.

Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly supported him and said, "I...I lost my virginity as an unmarried person. I wanted to never marry for life, but...but..."

It was only then that Bai Yingyang realized that Axiu wanted to break off the engagement with him because of her loss of virginity, and her mother and tiger tried their best to persuade her to change her mind, but after meeting in Huanghua Village this time, they never mentioned it. Knowing that Axiu had Wen Yufu's child, she couldn't bear to break her heart, that's why.

Zhang Xiuyuan said sadly: "I can't let the child have no father...I want to marry Fu'er."

Bai Yingyang was shocked, hugged her hurriedly and said, "You don't want to marry him!"

Zhang Xiuyuan remained silent.

Bai Yingyang said: "I will treat the child very well, treat it as my own child, Axiu, you marry me!"

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I'll help you go back to the village."

Bai Yingyang saw that her expression was extremely resolute, and there was no room for turning back. He was spinning in an instant, and his legs were trembling. He couldn't remember exactly how he got back to Dr. Qiu's house. He was lying on the bed and saw Zhang Xiuyuan removing the cloth belt for him. Asked: "Have you already fallen in love with Fu'er in your heart?"

Zhang Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback, ignored it, and continued to remove the cloth belt.

Bai Yingyang said: "If you have no affection for him, how can you not control it?"

Zhang Xiuyuan said: "Am I right..."

Bai Yingyang interrupted: "Actually, you have moved on a long time ago. You said so much to me, but it was just an excuse to get rid of me! Are you disappointed that I fell off the cliff and survived?"

Zhang Xiuyuan said: "You know it's not..."

Bai Yingyang interrupted again: "Why are you here to change my medicine? Are you so close to other men, aren't you afraid of ruining your Miss Zhang's reputation!" The more she talked, the more she hated her. With a wave of her hand, she took the medicine pot on the table The medicine pots were swept to the ground, smashed to pieces, and said angrily: "I am a wild boy without father and mother, and I am not worthy of being served by a young lady... I would not be able to climb up to you! You are right with him, go and talk to him!" Let's make out, don't pretend to be here!"

Zhang Xiuyuan felt sore and could only cry silently.

Zhang Ehu, who was in the next room, naturally heard such a big commotion, and came over to send the girl to another room to settle down, and then came back to pack the pots and jars, and exchanged the medicine for the little white sheep again, saying, "Axiu Don't blame her for being stubborn."

Bai Yingyang said coldly: "I have nothing to blame her for. She is going to be Mrs. Wen's young lady now, which is a very good thing."
