The Ma brothers were also the bodyguards brought by the wife of County Magistrate Hu. It can be seen that Mrs. Ma, who is thousands of miles away, has an excellent family. Magistrate Hu can hold important positions not only because of his own ability, but also as much as Mrs. Ma. Regarding the relationship, as for Mrs. Fan being able to become Magistrate Hu’s concubine, I’m afraid it was because Magistrate Hu was coming here. Mrs. Ma felt that she couldn’t let her husband suffer, so she found someone.
When the Ma brothers came to Yuan'an County with Magistrate Hu, they were still single, but now they are married. The two brothers also married a pair of local sisters. This is also a happy event for the family, but this It was difficult not to make Che Mingde suspicious of the time it took for the sisters to get married.
Apart from them, there are a few servants and maids who serve. These people also came here to work one after another after arriving in Yuan'an County. Although there are not many people, there are only six in total. Of course, if you include the sunset, it will be seven. Individuals, but each one needs to be eliminated one by one. Of course, when you come out of the county government, there is also Mrs. Fan’s brother, who is one year younger than her. She helps County Magistrate Hu on the surface, but he lives outside. , there is no guarantee that the people around him are evil cultivators, and Che Mingde has never denied the possibility that there may be more than one evil cultivator, so be careful in everything. Even if you really find the target, you will never act rashly, let alone relax your vigilance.
After understanding this, Che Mingde did not rule out those who were less suspicious based on his preliminary judgment. Instead, he decided to further understand and identify those who were less suspicious. After all, if he were to do such a thing, The younger the suspect, the harder it is to hide his or her identity, so except for these old and bad guys, there are no other suspects.
Of course, it was also because of my judgment that Magistrate Hu asked Wanxia to serve him. I did not agree to it. After all, Wanxia is too old. You are not the first person to rule out suspicion.
"Wanxia, just now he said that Mrs. Fan's accounting office didn't have any books about the customs and customs of that country. He wanted to know if he could borrow some from me." Che Mingde asked before going around in a circle.
"Then...since Mr. Che proposed it, I think Zhen Shanheng will agree." Wanxia hesitated for a moment before answering.
Judging from your answer, it is obvious that Mrs. Fan is a bad talker. But the more she behaves like this, the more Che Mingde wants to have a look, so he also smiled and said: "In that case, you can go together."
Seeing that Che Mingde wanted to go with him, Wanxia seemed to take a breath and immediately led Che Zhenshan the way.
In fact, the county government office is not small. Che Mingde knew the place even after walking around, but he still fell in front and asked you to lead the way.
"You're welcome. Mr. Che is the son of Mr. Che. He is an extraordinary person. Just take a quick look. I can ask you any questions." Mrs. Fan's white face showed some smile again. Maybe it was because of her true appearance. Question, even when I laugh it feels fierce.
"Well, Zhen Shanheng doesn't look too fierce, although I'm not a bad person." Wanxia explained without any hesitation.
Che Mingde also smiled and said: "I see, Mr. Hu's cooking skills are wrong." Although it was a compliment, Che Mingde was even more convinced that Magistrate Hu was actually not vigilant and was just doing things here. Outsiders in your own household are responsible for the food.
"Mrs. Fan, that's Mr. Che. I heard that you don't have any books about local customs and customs, and I would like to borrow some." Wanxia said loudly.
"Young Master Che, just tell me if you have no doubts." Hu Neng's eyes widened when he heard this, but soon I felt that I might be frightened by my appearance, so I immediately smiled, hoping to appear more amiable. But the appearance is even more terrifying.
"What's the matter?" The door of the accounting room opened slowly, and a white-faced man who looked to be in his eighties stuck his head out, but Mrs. Fan looked very fierce, and she looked like Mr. Accountant. , more like a butcher, no wonder Sunset is not afraid.
When they arrived at the accounting room, Che Mingde was standing at the door, and Wanxia knocked on the door.
Che Mingde also smiled and continued to ask: "Mrs. Fan can read those books, which shows that I am very knowledgeable."
Before Che Zhenshan finished eating, he ran to the door and waited for a while. When Mrs. Fan also finished eating, he took the initiative to go back and said: "Zhenshan Heng, I will borrow your book this afternoon. I don't understand some of the parts. I just want to know if the gentleman is not free and cannot answer questions for the younger generation."
The two people talked and returned to the room. Did Che Mingde continue to ask? To me, Wanxia's identity was still vague. If I kept asking, it was inevitable that the other party would believe it. Knowing so little was not enough.
We had lunch with Mrs. Hu, while Mrs. Fan and others ate elsewhere.
"That's right, Mr. Hu is a conscientious man, and his two children are also very honest, and they are both conscientious people." As they became strangers, Wanxia said less.
After hearing this, Wanxia's face turned even redder, but she seemed to have gotten closer to Che Mingde.
Che Mingde took the book and said, still very rudely: "Yes, thank you, Mrs. Fan, for borrowing it."
Che Mingde didn't have any doubts when he saw me like that, but no matter what, there was no contact at all, and I looked like this. When the two of them left, Wanxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you see Zhen Shanheng just now? Mr. Hu is also working in the mansion?" Che Mingde continued to ask.
"Of course, Mr. Hu is still the cook in the mansion, and everyone listens to Mr. Hu outside the kitchen." Wanxia explained, and it sounded like she was wrongly related to this Mr. Hu.
"Why, do you think Mrs. Fan is scary?" Che Mingde asked with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out he's not Mr. Che. Wait a minute." The white-faced Hu Neng looked at it for a while, and then walked away. After a while, he came out with a few shabby books, and his hands were still wet. Trembling and seemingly unexcited.
Opening those books, Che Mingde found that they were all about northwest customs, and there were no books on minerals and vegetation in the northwest. Moreover, those books had been read so many times that they didn't even have his own annotations in some places. Some of the annotations were left behind a long time ago, which shows that the other party only read those books.
"Actually, the books themselves are not boring. Mr. Che just wants to find them interesting." Hu Neng handed the book to Che Mingde and let out a high-pitched laugh, as if to hide his excitement.
"Well, the master always praises me for my lack of talent. It's because of my appearance that I suffer." Perhaps because she felt that she should discuss it behind her back, Wanxia immediately covered her big mouth after speaking.
Che Mingde could also tell, so he continued to ask: "Although Mrs. Fan looks a little more fierce, she is also married and has children. My wife will always be afraid of me, right?"
Che Mingde was just looking for an excuse at first, but he thought that the more I read those books, the more immersed I became. It was only at noon that the sunset came to call me to have lunch, and I came back to my senses from the books.
"You will tell it." Che Mingde also laughed.
