Chapter 133 I Want to Live Safely in Yanghua Village
The little thin man came back soon with pen and paper in hand. Meng Yuan didn't choose any place, spread the rice paper on the trial table above the courtroom, and began to draw.
Shen Qingqing came over to watch. How should I say? He wrote smoothly, and every stroke was done in one go. He looked very cool, but what he was painting... I didn't recognize what it was for a long time.
Shen Qingqing touched his chin, and was considering whether to tactfully remind him that he could ask a professional painter for help, when he saw that he suddenly changed his brushwork and added many details to the original scrawled lines. Once the details were added, the picture was completely different.
Sparse and slender eyebrows, fierce three-white eyes, wide and protruding cheeks...the image of a sinister and cunning old man emerges vividly on the page.
Shen Qingqing gave him a thumbs up, "The technique is pretty good. It's at the same level as my drawing symbols. It's all practical."
"Are you praising me?"
That sounds weird...
Shen Qingqing glanced at him, "Of course it's a compliment."
She has brought herself with her, is it difficult or a loss?
Meng Yuan exhaled, forget it, just take it as a compliment.
He dried the ink marks on the paper and handed the portrait to Lin Ziyan, "Be sure to let them remember this person. Don't act rashly if something unusual is discovered, and find a way to notify us as soon as possible. He has many poisonous insects on him, and he will be infected if he is not careful.
Trick, be sure to proceed with caution."
Shen Qingqing added on the side, "To be on the safe side, you should also go to the pharmacy to buy some deworming herbs and make them into sachets to wear on your body. At present, the herbs are still somewhat effective."
Lin Ziyan nodded solemnly, "Okay, I have remembered everything you told me. During this period, I will send people to stay near you. If there is any situation, I will contact them at any time."
After discussing the matter of capturing the old Taoist, the government officials politely sent Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan back to Baiwan Noodle House.
The noodle shop was still packed with people, a few of them were passers-by waiting to see the excitement, and most of them were regular customers who often came to eat and stayed here because they were worried about Shen Qingqing.
Seeing that Shen Qingqing came back safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's great that you're okay. I just said that Boss Shen is a cheerful person, how could he kill someone?"
"I was at the scene at the time, and I saw it really. Boss Shen didn't touch her at all. She suddenly fell to the ground and died. She must have come to touch porcelain."
Hearing everyone's defense of her, Shen Qingqing felt a little moved. She cleared her throat and said, "Please rest assured that I did not harm the person. As for why she died, I will give you an explanation when the county magistrate investigates.
"
The little thin man helped explain: "Please believe in Boss Shen and the County Magistrate. The truth about this matter will be revealed soon!"
"Little brother, you are from the county government. You must know a lot of things. Can you tell us how the Li family and his son died?"
"Yes, don't worry, we won't spread it outside."
The little skinny man looked at the head that was approaching and rolled his eyes silently. If he didn't tell others, I believe you are a ghost!
"I'm sorry, no information is allowed to be spread during the investigation of the case. Please be careful and don't pry."
Some people were eager to hear the gossip, while others were concerned about the food. They swallowed hard and asked Shen Qingqing if they were still selling noodles at noon today.
Shen Qingqing looked at the greedy appearance of the customer, covered her lips and smiled, tilted her head and waved to Meng Qixue, "Come here to hand out signs and collect money, and we are ready to open."
The customer was so happy that he ran to the counter to pay and get the sign. His wait was indeed worth it!
Seeing this, the old customers stopped asking for gossip and even pushed forward to queue up. Some passers-by who were watching the excitement could not resist the temptation to join the queue when they smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
The two government servants who gave it away sniffed and turned to look at Meng Yuan, showing a flattering smile, "Brother Meng, hey, give us a bowl of noodles to try too."
Meng Yuan glanced at them sideways and said, "Let's get in line."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the first pot of noodles was cooked, and the whole store was filled with the aroma of noodles and the sound of slurping noodles.
The little thin man held the bowl, his eyes filled with excitement, "It's so delicious, I've never eaten such delicious noodles in my life!"
"If possible, I would resign from my position in the county government and stay here to run errands for Boss Shen."
Another government official interrupted his thoughts mercilessly, "Don't think about it. Even if Boss Shen agrees, your mother won't agree with it. You don't want your legs anymore?"
Thinking of the scene of his mother beating someone with a stick, the little skinny man suddenly shuddered, "Forget it, running errands is not suitable for me."
The main reason is that his legs are not strong. If his mother breaks them, he will be dead.

For the next two days, everything went as usual, and the old Taoist completely lost his trace as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
On the morning of the third day, several government officials came to Yanghua Village beating gongs and drums. When the villagers stepped forward and asked, they found out that Meng Yuan had been murdered by Wang Dashun.
Originally, it would take half a month for this matter to reach the capital, but I'm afraid it will have to wait another month or two for a decision to be made.
It was also a coincidence that General Zhao happened to pass through Nanyuan County during this period when he was returning to the court. The governor of Nanyuan County was very angry when he accidentally mentioned this matter, and immediately sentenced Wang Dashun to death.
Then he subsidized hundreds of taels of silver out of his own pocket, and wrote a letter telling Meng Yuan that if he wanted to continue serving in the army, he could directly bring the letter to him in Beijing, and he would be given preferential treatment.
Seeing the white money and the general's handwritten letter on the red cloth, the eyes of the villagers were widened.
The man of the Meng family whose fate is harder than a stone has actually had a good fortune!
The promise made by General Zhao himself is much more reliable than the one sealed by the county magistrate!
"It's God's blessing. Our Meng clan finally has its day!"
When Meng Guangfeng, the elder of the Meng family who was originally bedridden, heard the news, he was so happy that his eyesight could no longer blur and his legs no longer hurt. He got up from the bed on the spot and went straight to Meng Yuan's house on crutches.
At this time, the Meng family courtyard was full of people. Most people from Yanghua Village, ranging from a seventy-year-old man to a three-year-old child, were here.
Meng Guangfeng spent a lot of effort to squeeze in front of Meng Yuan, held his hand with tears in his eyes and said: "Brother Yuan, I knew you were a promising boy. You have suffered for more than 20 years, and this time you finally have a good life."
It’s the end of all the hardships!”
"After you go to the capital, you must be careful in everything. You must not be harmed by traitors again. If you have time in the future, remember to go back to Yanghua Village and let the children of the Meng family learn from you. Maybe our village
There can be a few more talents..."
Meng Yuan touched the tip of his nose and interrupted him, "Grandpa, I have no plans to go to the capital."
As soon as the words came out, everyone present was stunned, and even Shen Qingqing couldn't help but glance at him.
"I want to stay in Yanghua Village and live a stable life with Qingqing and the children."
"Brother Yuan, don't be confused. This is a great event that will bring glory to the Meng family. No one else can ask for it. How can you not be willing to go?"
Meng Guangfeng became anxious and grabbed his arm and refused to let go.
Meng Yuan pulled his arm out of his hand and said seriously: "Grandpa, I don't have this ambition. Please don't force me." This chapter has been completed!
