Chapter 112, Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Fog
Although Kunshan County has hidden turmoil, it is still a very prosperous town on the surface.
Wen Youqing is wearing a neat and straight dress today, the snow-colored robe is embroidered with a few autumn-colored branches and leaves at the hem, the green silk and jade crown is tied high, and the tail of her hair hangs down on her slender waist.
Like a little tail.
Jing Yun squinted his eyes slightly and pinched the ends of his hair. His callused thumbs didn't seem to be stroking the hair, but rather the softness elsewhere.
"What's so nice about hair." Wen Youqing held a fan and tapped on Jing Yun's generous chest, "Let's go to the county government first, and find out what the Kunshan county magistrate has to say."
"I listen to you." Jing Yun said lightly.
"You listen to me?" Wen Youqing narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Do you listen to me under any circumstances?"
What a villain.
The corners of Jing Yun's lips raised, and the thumb that was stroking the end of his hair brushed the other's cheek, "Except for the bed."
After saying that, Jing Yun received a supercilious look from Wen Youqing.
The two walked all the way to the Kunshan County Yamen, and stood at the gate of the Yamen, which can be described as dilapidated, looking at each other speechlessly.
"Xiang Lu said that the magistrate of Kunshan County is quite clean and upright. Does he mean the external performance?" Wen Youqing thought that this person was involved in the case, so he inevitably had preconceived ideas, "It's not like he just spends all the money on his enjoyment and doesn't care about it." Repair the county office?"
Jing Yun looked at him helplessly, "Standing at the door of someone's house and making arrangements for him?"
Wen Youqing smiled, walked up to the yamen servant, and took out the official badge, "My official Dali Temple Shaoqing Wen Youqing, I have something to ask your lord when I pass by here."
The yamen servant who guards the gate is just an ordinary person who makes a living in the county seat and has never seen the world. In his eyes, the fifth-rank Kunshan magistrate is a great official.
Although the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is only the fourth rank, the fourth rank at the foot of the emperor in Kyoto must not be underestimated.
"Master, please wait for a moment, the younger one will go right away!" The yamen servant's nervous words could not be said easily, and the running back made Wen Youqing wonder for a moment if he was some kind of evil spirit.
But after a while, several people came hurriedly from the Kungfu Yamen, and the one who walked in the front was the magistrate of Kunshan County, whom he had met once in Zhaowen County.
Jing Yun looked at the county magistrate who was walking in, and thought of Yan Yan's face-to-face like a joke that day, and sighed in his heart, it really made Yan Yan's words hit, this person has tall roots, deep-set black eye sockets, single It looks vicious.
"Gao Youde, the county magistrate of Kunshan County, I have met Mr. Shaoqing." Gao Youde bowed his bow and saluted, his attitude was very humble, which was far from his appearance.
"Wen Youqing, the Shaoqing of Xia Dali Temple, Mr. Gao is very polite. This time, I happened to pass by Kunshan County and wanted to meet my friend, but I learned that my friend died." Wen Youqing looked hurt, "So come here and think I want to ask Mr. Gao, what is the cause of Qin Ji Molan's death?"
Yan Yan's motivation to tell nonsense is getting stronger day by day.
Jing Yun's intermittent blindness and only being able to see Wen Youqing made a mistake again, because he didn't notice that when Gao Youde heard Wen Youqing's name, his face froze for a moment and then returned to normal.
After finishing the official greetings with Wen Youqing, Gao Youde looked at Jing Yun again, seeing the tall and imposing appearance of the other party, he was not sure of this person's identity for a while, "I wonder who this is?"
"As far as I can remember, this is the nephew of the owner of Luming Villa, and he settled down in Luming Villa when he came to Kunshan County this time." Wen Youqing didn't explain Jing Yun's identity, and continued to use the identity of the son of the Lu family.
Hearing that they were from Luming Manor, Gao Youde became a little less vigilant. They have been entrenched in Kunshan County for many years. Although they have not eaten the hard bone of Luming Manor, the two parties are not in conflict with each other. The Lu family should be just Passing by doesn't affect anything.
If this Wen Youqing has to investigate something that should not be investigated...
There was a hint of sternness in Gao Youde's eyes, no matter how noble a person is, he will lose his qualifications for being upright once he has been in the same boat.
The three entered the main hall one by one and sat down, Wen Youqing did not forget why he came, "How much does Mr. Gao know about Mo Lan?"
"Master Wen said very little about Mo Lan, I only know that this person is Qin Ji from Xunxianglou, who died the day before yesterday but no body was found." Gao Youde said.
Wen Youqing frowned, "Since the body has not been found, how can we be sure that he is dead? Maybe he was kidnapped and trafficked. Has this case been closed?"
"The case has not been closed for the time being, but because there are no clues, there is no wasted manpower to investigate. There is only one Qinji around, no father and no mother. Even if the murderer is found out, the deceased himself will not know."
What Gao Youde said seemed to be a very normal thing, but it was extremely harsh to Wen Youqing's ears.
Human life is worthless in this person's mouth.
Because no one knows what to do, such a person will not be a very honest person.
Wen Youqing tried her best to restrain the anger in her heart, and directly changed the subject. This time, she was talking about the business of this trip, and Mo Lan's matter would not just be let go, and it seemed that she had to come from another place.
"By the way, before I came to Kunshan County, I passed by a temple in Zhaowen County. The old monk in the temple told me that he was originally a monk from Yushan Dingfa Temple. Later, the temple was burned, killed and looted. He had no choice but to escape. Really?" Wen Youqing opened and closed her lips, and blurted out this nonsense, if Jing Yun who was beside her hadn't been there the whole time, she might have been fooled by this moment.
Mentioning Dingfa Temple Gao Youde's teeth clenched, Wen Youqing saw that his expression became serious, and said again: "I asked Brother Lu, and he also said that he did remember that there was a fire in Dingfa Temple when he was young."
"Yes, is it?" Gao Youde's composure was already showing reluctance, and he clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly, "Maybe it's a natural disaster? I don't have any impression of this matter, why don't you go down and check the file?"
"This is really troublesome Mr. Gao, do you need my help?" Wen Youqing said and got up and rolled up his sleeves to get ready to work.
"Come here and prepare tea for the two of you!" Gao Youde hurriedly greeted the yamen servant, "Go back as soon as you go down."
Wen Youqing, who didn't expect to be able to check the file in person, shrugged indifferently, turned his head to Jing Yunzheng with his hands on his chin, and blinked his eyes as if asking what's wrong.
Jing Yun shook his head, he wanted to hug Yan Yan, but now the place was inappropriate and he had to hold back.
The two waited in the main hall, and the hidden guards who had been arranged on the other side followed Gao Youde to the study, and the county magistrate came in with Gao Youde.
The dark three leaned down and were in charge of vigilance. Xiaowu didn't come with him today because he wanted to help take care of Jiangnan Xing and the others.
The second player confirmed the position and made a gesture towards the third player. The third player knew how to find a more suitable position to guard. The two of them were not talkative people, and their cooperation was extremely efficient.
The two people in the study didn't know that there were people hiding outside, Gao Youde walked back and forth in the study a few times with a sullen face and hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "I know something about Wen Youqing, this person is definitely not a good person. Cha, I guess I heard some rumors, have you made any big moves recently?"
The county magistrate's expression was not much stronger than that of Gao Youde, "There is also Mo Lan, the person who sent Mo Lan away from the city yesterday came back and said that he was lost."
"The person is lost!" Gao Youde angrily picked up the pen holder on the table and threw it out, "How did that person do things! After the Xu family quit, the higher-ups were already very dissatisfied, and now they lost the person who was going to send it , how do you ask me to explain it!"
The county magistrate nervously touched the sweat on his forehead, and said weakly: "Why don't you change someone, it's not like you can't find a good-looking woman. I heard that the young master of the Miao family has been screaming at home all day because of a beautiful woman. Why don't you check it out?" The identity of that beauty?"
"That's the only way to go. You send someone to investigate and give me the results as soon as possible. You can't wait too long." Gao Youde wiped his face, and said: "Today send a reliable person to inform Dingfa Temple , let them be careful."
"The dossier that Mr. Wen wants?"
"Just say he didn't find it. After so many years, it's normal to lose a few files. Even if he doubts it, he has nothing to say."
The county magistrate responded and left the study first, Gao Youde walked out too soon, and the second and third in the dark left the county office as early as the end of their conversation.
Back in the main hall, Wen Youqing Jingyun saw that Gao Youde had returned empty-handed, so he left the county office without much trouble. On the way back, the two found a restaurant and went in and asked for a private room to sit down. Er secretly walked in.
"General, madam." An'er cupped his fists and said.
Wen Youqing: "..."
Husband, you are tall.
An Er is the quietest person among the dark guards, unlike An Er with an ice cube face, An Er is quiet like a transparent person, according to Jing Yun’s words——An Er is a pendant when An Yi is there, and An Er is a pendant when An Yi is not there Shi Aner is a decoration.
Because he is not good at communicating with people, An Er's thinking mode is also very straightforward. After identifying Wen Youqing as the general's wife, he will not change it.
"Hey, General, we heard a lot from Gao Youde, about Mo Lan, and about you as well."
"Us? Because we sent Dingfa Temple?" Wen Youqing asked.
An San shook his head and poked An Er, the latter repeated the words of Gao Youde and Xian Cheng in the study in a non-fluctuating tone. , Jing Yun silently crushed the cup.
Jing Yun glanced coldly at the shattered cup in his hand, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "It's too brittle, as if I used too much force."
Wen Youqing didn't say a word, he secretly picked up the cup and shook it vigorously, until the palm of his hand hurt, the cup didn't look like it was about to shatter in the slightest.
How can there be such a big gap between people?
Wen Youqing, a weak scholar, sighed silently in his heart, and said on the face: "According to Gao Youde's words, it can be inferred that in Kunshan County, Mr. Miao and Gao Youde already have a cooperative relationship with Xu's family, and they are both working for Jiuli. Recently, Xu The sudden withdrawal of the family caused problems in their cooperation, and Mo Lan was arrested to fill the vacancy due to inexplicable reasons, but escaped halfway."
"The three of them have something to do with what happened at Dingfa Temple in Yushan. They should be the ones who covered up the facts, but Gao Youde looks like that. He didn't know about Jiangnan Xing and the others being attacked on the mountain behind Dingfa Temple the day before yesterday." Jing Yun also Following his words, he analyzed, "Is it possible that Jiuli used the three of them to do things for him, but he didn't tell them about the back mountain, but just said that they can't go there."
Wen Youqing crossed her arms and tapped her chin with her finger, "I can't rule out this possibility. There is another question about their business. I have a guess."
Jing Yun looked at him, "What?"
Wen Youqing put down her hands and sat up straight, "You know, Yangzhou Shouma?"
