Chapter 410 Investigation
Chapter 410 Investigation
The two came to the kitchen.
I happened to run into Luo Sanyuan and Xiaoman.
"Okay, you two, you actually ate food secretly." When Xu Wenyan caught them, Luo Sanyuan was handing a plate of meat to Xiaoman.
"Hey, isn't this a coincidence? Come on, come on. After a short nap during the day, you will be more energetic at night."
Luo Sanyuan took a lot of things in succession and handed them to Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin.
The four of them sat in a circle at the small table, carrying a bunch of things.
Because we are at Xiaoman's house, we don't have to worry about anyone hearing us talking.
Xu Wenyan picked up a piece of cold duck with chopsticks and said, "Luo Sanyuan, how are you going to get back after you escape?"
"Not coming back." Luo Sanyuan took a sip of water and said calmly.
"Not going back?" Xiaoman asked.
"I gave all the money I earned to my mother. I've already resigned from Brother Wang, and I'll live here from now on. The money I earned is enough for my mother to spend in two lifetimes."
Xu Wenyan frowned slightly: "So you want to come here to eat and drink for free."
"No, no, no." Luo Sanyuan waved his hands quickly: "Xiao Man, support me."
"I am Xiaoman's boss. His money is my money. I support Xiaoman, not you."
Luo Sanyuan quickly put on a flattering look and said, "Then let's take a look at our conditions, Manager Xu. How about working for you?"
"Then you will be responsible for feeding the pigs next year." Xu Wenyan smiled.
"Feeding pigs?" Luo Sanyuan was surprised: "I only know how to eat pork, I have never fed pigs."
Two people were making noise nearby.
Chen Sanlin and Xiaoman were watching from the side.
......
"By the way, are you really going to leave?" Luo Sanyuan's eyes turned cold and he asked seriously.
"Are you going to be slaughtered like a pig if you stay here?" Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes: "If it were me, you should go back and admit your mistake to your mother and go back obediently.
We are going far away.”
"No!" Luo Sanyuan refused without thinking: "You two can go together. It will be boring for Xiaoman to follow you. I want to go and accompany Xiaoman."
As he said that, Luo Sanyuan smiled at Xiaoman.
Xu Wenyan looked at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, persuade her to let him go back."
Xiaoman looked at Xu Wenyan, then at Luo Sanyuan: "It's up to him to decide."
"Haha, I knew you were the best, Xiaoman." Luo Sanyuan hooked his arm around Xiaoman and smiled happily, "I heard that beauties in the Western Regions look different. I've never seen one."
"Okay, so you are going to see the girl." Xu Wenyan said.
"No, no, no, absolutely not." Luo Sanyuan hugged Xiaoman with both hands: "Man, I definitely didn't, I just wanted to accompany you, don't listen to Xu Wenyan, he's talking nonsense."
"Oh, I have such a bad temper." Xu Wenyan stood up and grabbed Luo Sanyuan's ear with one hand.
Luo Sanyuan felt pain: "Xiao Man, save me, my ears are about to fall off."
"Who farted?"
"I, I farted, Brother Xu."
Several people stayed up until the morning before returning to their room to sleep.
The next day, we have to get up early again and cook Yuanxiao, which is also a custom.
A few people were eating Yuanxiao when Chen Xingjie came in from outside with a serious look on his face.
"Wen Yan, Xiao Man. Come here."
The two realized that something might happen.
Arriving at the bedroom, Xu Wenyan spoke first: "What happened to Brother Xingjie?"
"The soldiers have entered the village, saying they are investigating a case. Didn't you take in a few people before? Could you have anything to do with them?" Chen Xingjie asked.
"It's impossible. Although there is a connection between them, it was definitely not done by Wang Zeren and his men."
Chen Xingjie nodded: "Okay, I don't know what's going on during the New Year."
Soon the soldiers arrived at Xu Wenyan's yard. The black bear kept howling. Xu Wenyan felt that they were not friendly.
"Where did this dog come from? If you ask for it again, we'll kill it and eat its meat." The speaker was a middle-aged man in official uniform.
Xu Wenyan had never seen him in the county government office, so it seemed that he must have been sent from somewhere else.
"Who is the manager of this house?"
Chen Sanlin wanted to go forward but was stopped by Xu Wenyan: "Hey, what are you doing here, Master Jun?"
Xu Dashan stepped out from the side at this time and said, "This is the Dali Temple Junior Official who came to the capital, Lord Ning. Tell me the truth about whatever the Lord asks you."
Xu Wenyan knew that it was Xu Dashan who revealed the information to him.
"Why are you interrupting me when I'm talking?" Lord Ning glared at Xu Dashan.
Xu Dashan smiled apologetically and took a few steps back.
"So it's Lord Ning, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. It must have been a long journey from the capital. You must have had a hard time."
At this time, Chen Xiaohua also brought tea and placed it on the small table.
Lord Ning originally disdained to drink the low-quality tea of the remote village chief, but he was indeed thirsty along the way.
The chrysanthemum tea prepared by Xu Wenyan is slightly bitter and fragrant, and even people who don’t drink tea often can get used to it.
"The tea is good." Lord Ning put down the teacup and continued, "I am in charge of Lord Gao Bin's case. Was there any suspicious person last month?"
“Oh, there is no suspicious person, but last month, General Wang, the commander of the Zhaoxin Army, came to the village.” This is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, who is of the fourth rank.
He is mainly responsible for criminal investigation cases and is ranked among the Nine Ministers.
He can be considered an important official.
Although the person who came was not the current Dali Temple Shaoqing himself, the court regarded the case that could make the Dali Temple Shaoqing take action as very important.
"General Wang?" Lord Ning thought for a moment and nodded. "Last year, General Wang, General Wei, and General Hou were stationed at the medical point together.
I guess this General Wang is in charge of Jixiang Village."
Xu Wenyan nodded: "It was all thanks to General Wang, he is the great benefactor of our Jixiang Village.
We didn’t expect that General Wang, who had come to Fengxian to attend Old Lady Wei’s birthday, would still think of us poor people.”
Lord Ning took another sip of tea and said, "General Wang is very thoughtful, but the old village chief Xu from the next village told me that you took in a man covered in blood."
"Master Ning, you are talking about General Wei, right? When we found him, he was being chased by bandits." Xu Wenyan slowed down his speech and said, "Speaking of this, General Wang is also investigating something."
"what's up?"
"When General Wang was about to leave Jixiang Village, he was ambushed by the Deadpools. There were hundreds of them. If it weren't for General Wang's great martial arts, he might have died here."
Lord Ning frowned: "Is there such a thing?"
Xu Wenyan sighed: "Yes, it's not easy for General Wang."
"Since you know so much, I also have something to ask you."
"Oh, Master Ning, feel free to ask."
"General Gao Bin once came to Feng County secretly. It is said that he met someone before he died. Do you know who that person was?"
Xu Wenyan learned some more details from Lord Ning, and he still remembered what happened that day very clearly.
He went to look for Zhang Chengjin that day, but he happened to be away that day.
And the strangest thing is that since that day, Zhang Chengjin's attitude has changed.
Xu Wenyan carefully recalled what he had said to Zhang Chengjin before.
Seems to be......
"Cousin, you must be careful in everything you do."
My original intention was to remind Zhang Chengjin about the tobacco shop, but why did he react so strongly?
He didn't come to see me during the Chinese New Year.
It's really suspicious.
Xu Wenyan shook his head: "Master Ning, I don't know that. I grew up in the village and I don't even know what General Gao Bin looks like."
"That's right." Lord Ning stood up.
Since he couldn’t find anything in Jixiang Village today, he decided to go to the county to have a look.
