Chapter 718 The county magistrate is also faked by bandits
Author: Doraemon
"I have been in the government for more than a year, and I have never seen my wife come into contact with a man, let alone any businessmen from other places."
"The night my wife disappeared, it was almost midnight but the housekeeper still woke me up to cook bird's nest porridge. The house was brightly lit. If my wife had eloped that night, would the master know?'
"More~~~" Chef Sun's eyes narrowed, "Not two days after Madam disappeared, the master sent people to renovate the kitchen and rebuilt the stove and everything else, so he let me go for five or six days. It’s fake~~”
After hearing these words, Shen Yuyu's heart skipped a beat, as if he knew something.
He once again cast his gaze deeply on the woman in front of him.
"So, you deliberately made the food unpalatable so that Madam could fire you?" No wonder she breathed a sigh of relief when Butler Huang wanted to fire her.
Chef Sun nodded silently.
This matter was explained clearly enough, and Shen Yuyu felt confident, but she took out another two hundred taels of silver notes and put it on the table.
"Let's talk about "Huang Xiucai"." Shen Yuyu asked directly. Since she is a smart person, she must have already seen something wrong with "Huang Xiucai" and Huang Xiucai's house.
Chef Sun looked at the silver on the table and was moved again.
After all, we have already said so much, so what if we say more?
What's more, she felt that the woman in front of her was extraordinary, with a unique temperament and upright eyes. She was definitely not an accomplice of Magistrate Lei and Huang Xiucai.
Just like before, now that she had planned to talk, Chef Sun spoke directly and clearly.
"Huang Xiucai is illiterate and cannot write."
"When he got married, the dozen or so tables of guests from his mother's family all spoke with foreign accents. I don't know where they came from, but they were definitely not Lingzhou or Tongzhou accents."
"Besides, the relationship between Magistrate Lei and Huang Xiucai is unusual~~ That's all I know."
"Okay, then we won't disturb you and leave." Shen Yuyu stood up and secretly praised Chef Sun for being really smart. She said a few simple words but every word was crucial, "Sister-in-law Sun, take care." It meant. After saying this deeply, Shen Yue left the room.
She didn't go far either, hiding in the dark with the shadow and observing.
After a while, I saw Chef Sun hurriedly leaving the house and leaving the village with her baggage in hand. She did not take the main road, but went on a small road, and soon she disappeared.
"Master, she has left. Let's go back to the city." Shadow said when he saw the cold mountain wind.
"No, wait a minute." Shen Yuhu tightened her cloak tightly, "Let's see if anyone comes after her, otherwise another innocent life will be lost."
After waiting for half an hour, no one came, and Shen Yuyu and Shadow left here and went to the city.
They didn't speak during the whole journey. After entering the city, when they came to a restaurant for dinner, the two of them started chatting quietly.
"Master, if Chef Sun didn't lie, Miss Gao's case seems to be clear." Shadow said.
"Yes." Shen Yue nodded, "She is a smart person and won't lie." Shen Yue couldn't help but feel sad when she said this. It seemed that Miss Gao was murdered by Huang Xiucai that night and her body was buried. Under the stove.
This beast!
Of course, if you want to find out the truth, you have to dig up the kitchen and find Miss Gao's body, otherwise everything is just speculation.
"In addition, what does the master think of Huang Xiucai's identity?" Shadow asked again.
"What do you think?" Shen Yuyu asked with a smile.
"Well, it depends on whether Du Juan has any relatives. If so, we can't draw any conclusions. If not, then eight or nine times out of ten, he is a robber.'
"Du Juan is a kiln girl, and the possibility of having a family is extremely small." Shen Yuehu affirmed, "So Huang Xiucai and the dozen or so family members at the table are most likely to be robbers.
"Hey~~ Isn't this too crazy? The robbers who were wanted by the government actually stabbed themselves into the city and became a respected scholar~~" Shadow shook his head and scratched his head in confusion after finishing speaking. Forehead, "You said these robbers came out to the city in large numbers. What do they want? Are they really just here to have a wedding banquet?"
Shen Yuyu shrugged, she couldn't understand either.
Before, she was thinking about whether she was here to transport property, but she immediately shook her head in denial.
Chef Sun said that dozens of carriages had arrived. No matter how rich the Gao family was, it would be as high as one hundred thousand taels. Is there any need to spend so much time and effort on something that can only be contained in a box?
"If Huang Xiucai is really a robber, I don't know how many bribes County Magistrate Lei took from him~~" Shadow muttered.
"This matter must be more complicated than we thought, let's check it out slowly." Shen Yuyu took a sip of tea thoughtfully, "Don't tell Ms. Mo about Miss Gao's matter first, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable when she hears her heart. We will wait until Ji Yi comes back to tell us everything."
"Okay." Shadow nodded.
Not only did they not dare to alert Huang Xiucai, but they also did not dare to alert County Magistrate Lei. Shen Yuyu and Shadow did not dare to go any further after their investigation. The most they could do was walk around on the street and listen to what everyone said.
Three or four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ji Yi was back.
"It's really hard to find out the identity of this fake Huang Xiucai, but what we are sure of is that none of the people who came to Lingzhou with the real Huang Xiucai to escape the famine went back, and they disappeared like that." Lin Yi said.
Shen Yuyu nodded silently, "This result is enough to prove that Huang Xiucai and his entourage who came to Lingzhou to seek life were probably killed by robbers on the way. After that, someone pretended to be Huang Xiucai, and the real scholar became He married a fake scholar and settled down in Yanggu County."
No one objected to Shen Yuyu's words, and Shadow nodded in agreement,
"There is also Magistrate Lei." Lin Yi spoke again, taking out a portrait and spreading it on the table. "I personally went to Magistrate Lei's hometown and found this portrait painted by his family.'
Shen Yuyu was once again shocked beyond measure when she saw it. The Magistrate Lei in this portrait looked completely different from the Magistrate Lei she had ever seen.
"Even Magistrate Lei is a robber pretending to be a robber? Oh my god~~" Shen Yuyu's jaw almost dropped. It completely subverted her imagination. If she hadn't come to Yanggu County, everyone would have turned into bandits. Nested?
Amidst Shen Yu's surprise, Lin Yi continued, "In addition, I heard that there is a group of robbers entrenched at the border between Luozhou and the Western Regions. I don't know if they are the same group.'
After hearing Ji Yi's report, Shen Yuyu's mind was very messy, and she quickly sorted it out in her mind.
Huang Xiucai and Magistrate Lei were both robbers, so they cooperated perfectly when extorting others.
However, there are only a few wealthy people in a county. Are they just trying to gain such a small amount of benefits? Or do they think that this matter can be kept hidden forever and will never be exposed?
"Master, do you want to close the net?" Shadow asked.
Shen Yuyu is also very confused. If the net is closed, it may be difficult to catch their accomplices.
If the net is not closed, how long will it take? Is it possible that a few robbers will be allowed to control the entire county?
Unless Shen Yuyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a plan came into his mind.
