On the way back, Wang Xian and others were also talking about the Zheng family.
"It's shocking," Wang Xian said with emotion: "The first one in Jiangnan really lives up to its name!"
"What's so good about it?" Lingxiao sat sideways on the horse, swaying his long calves, and pouted: "Everything is stipulated, and there is no freedom at all. It's even more extreme than our Wudang Cult."
"Yes, if you were born into the Zheng family, you must be peaceful and respectful, serve your parents-in-law with filial piety, serve your husband with courtesy, treat your sisters-in-law with kindness, and never leave the middle house without any reason..." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"It's really disgusting!" Ling Xiao said angrily: "It's okay if you don't want to go out, but you don't let people go out. Do you want to suffocate people to death?!"
"Is there something wrong?" Xianyun was furious when he saw her like this. There are not many things that can make Xianyunzi's heart fluctuate, and this troubled sister is definitely one of them. He couldn't help but say it
He scolded: "It's better than being crazy like you and having no rules. Let's see who dares to marry you in the future."
"You don't need to worry about it!" Lingxiao stuck out the tip of his bright red tongue, made a face at Xianyun, and turned to Wang Xian angrily: "Xiao Xianzi, do you also think women should be like this?"
"I don't think so." Wang Xian hurriedly clarified: "In my opinion, women can hold up half of the sky, oh no, most of it."
"You don't mean what you say." Ling Xiao didn't believe it, but he was still very happy, "But he is much better than my brother. From now on, we will share the drumsticks, and he won't have any share."
"Hey." Xianyun said angrily: "I don't have a share in it, right?"
"Then you can eat the chicken's butt." Ling Xiao made a face again and galloped forward, seeming to be really angry.
Wang Xian couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, this evil old society...
"Brother Zhongde." Xianyun was worried about another matter. He seized the opportunity and asked Wang Xiandao: "It's so easy to get the opportunity to stay overnight in Zhengzhai Town. Why don't you let me find out?"
"I don't know what you are looking for," Wang Xian whispered, "but I know that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at us last night. If you move, they will know that our motives are not pure, and they will definitely guard against us in the future."
"Then why do you still want to stay overnight?" Xianyun thought about it.
"I'm drunk." Wang Xian grinned.
"..." Xianyun frowned.
"Okay," Wang Xian could only smile and said: "The Art of War says that we must 'surprise them and attack them when they are unprepared.' But we know that the other party is hiding something. If we want to catch them by surprise, we can only make them think that we are not paying attention to them.
Only then can we relax their vigilance and then attack them unprepared." After a pause, he said: "As soon as we arrived in Pujiang, we made great efforts to investigate the disappearance case. Although we were in compliance with the order of the patrol, it would also arouse the vigilance of the Zheng family.
At this time, if I don't let them relax quickly, I'm afraid they will cut off the remaining clues."
In terms of martial arts, Xianyun could beat Wang Xian eight times with one hand, but in terms of intelligence, even if he tied ten of them to one, he would not be Wang Xian's opponent.
"As soon as we arrived in Zhengzhai Town, they started to think that we were going to investigate a case or even cause trouble. Who knew that we came here to solve the case, so they would naturally feel lucky. I deliberately stayed drunk at night, and they thought that we were here to solve the case.
We wanted to do something at night, but we behaved ourselves. After going back and forth like this, no matter how tight our guard was, it was inevitable that we would loosen up. Today, they saw that my admiration for the Zheng family is like a surging river..."
Wang Xian is not good at riding horses. He was fine yesterday. After riding for a while today, he felt a wave of ecstasy on the inside of his thighs. He awkwardly moved his thighs and said, "Tell me, do you feel more at ease?"
"Yes. So that's the intention." Xianyun was stunned, but still said with some regret: "It's a pity that the opportunity is rare, but there is no gain."
"It's rewarding." Wang Xian said calmly: "At least I have confirmed three things.
"What three things?" Xianyun asked in surprise. Can you confirm things by just talking?
"First, Wu Shaoyuan's death is inseparable from the Zheng family. The father and son at least knew about it." Wang Xian raised a finger and said.
"Why?" Xianyun asked in confusion.
"The reason is very simple." Wang Xiandao: "Yesterday I just said, 'It is not an option to shelve this case. Please give them some advice on how to deal with it.' If you were the family of the deceased, how would you react?"
"I definitely hope to continue searching." Xianyun said.
"Yes, even if they guessed that I was here to persuade them to close the case, they would not have said, 'I can't cause any more trouble to the government' before I opened my mouth." Wang Xian said solemnly: "Unless
They had known that they would never be able to find him, and they wished that the case would be settled quickly..."
"..." Xianyun thought for a while and couldn't help but agree: "That makes sense. What about the second one?"
"Second, the person you are looking for is not in the town." Wang Xian said calmly.
"How did you know..." Xianyun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Yes, the town is densely populated, and chickens and dogs can hear each other. It is impossible for him to hide here." He paused and said: "What about the third one?"
"Third." Wang Xian said slowly: "Wu Shaoyuan's death is probably related to that person..."
"What?" Xianyun's expression changed and he said again: "How did you know?"
"A filial and loving family like the Zheng family actually wanted to destroy corpses and destroy traces of their remains," Wang Xian glanced at him and said with a faint look, "Except because of that person, I can't think of any other reason."
"Yes..." Xianyun had to admire Hu Xian's vision. The Wang Xian he chose could be so aware of the subtleties. Thinking of this, he stared at Wang Xian closely and said, "Have you guessed who that person is?"
"I didn't guess it, and I won't guess it," Wang Xian said decisively: "If possible, I plan to study behind closed doors and wait for the scholar examination next year. This road is relatively stable, at least it is not life-threatening."
"You are wrong." Xianyun shook his head and said, "I said that since you and I have been chosen, there is no other way out except to focus on running errands."
"Isn't it okay if I resign?!" Wang Xian suddenly became angry. What the hell is this? I just want to live a comfortable life as an official! I don't want to rush into the world with my head!
"No!" Xianyun said flatly, "Master Hu has an order. Anyone who flinches will die!"
"I didn't join the gang!" Wang Xian said angrily.
"It's useless, the chess piece is in the game, why does it need its own consent?" Xianyun whispered: "Brother Zhongde, I don't want to kill anyone, let alone the first person I want to kill.
"..." Wang Xian closed his eyes depressedly. Now he just wanted to explode Hu Wei's anus a hundred times, a hundred times! But he couldn't change the fate of his pawn crossing the river. After a long time, he vomited out a long
He took a breath and said in a muffled voice: "Have you ever killed anyone?
"Isn't it strange?" Xianyun said angrily at Wang Xian's distrust: "No matter how high my martial arts skills are, I must abide by the king's law! If you kill someone for no reason, you will have to pay with your life!"
"Follow Mr. Hu, do you still need to pay for your life?"
"Master Hu and I just went to seek immortality and worship Buddha..." Xianyun said gloomily: "Jin Yiwei is responsible for the murders and arson."
"Okay, rookie," Wang Xian took a deep breath and said, "Except for that person's identity, tell me everything you know."
"Yeah." Xianyun thought about it and agreed.
It was almost noon when we returned to the county. As soon as we entered the West Yamen, the doorman came up to us and said: "Second Master, there is a scholar who claims to be your friend. I invited him to have tea in the living room."
"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded and walked to the living room, but he muttered in his heart: 'How can I have any scholar friends?'
When I entered the living room, I saw a man wearing a pleated shirt and a soap towel on his head, with his back to the door admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his head. His beautiful features and handsome expression were enough to dazzle any woman in the world! Naturally, it was the handsome man Wei Wuque.
Seeing Wang Xian come back, Mr. Wu Que bowed deeply and his graceful demeanor was heart-wrenching: "Student pays homage to you, sir."
"Who is it? It turns out to be Mr. Wei." Seeing that Mr. Wei appeared in front of him intact again, with a flawless face and no scars, Wang Xianxin asked why his face was not disfigured? He coughed twice quickly and moved.
He teased: "Your injury healed very quickly."
"Thanks to your sister for showing mercy." Wei Wuque said, looking at Lingxiao standing behind Wang Xian, and quickly retracted: "The student is here to report to your Excellency, I have rented a residence in this county.
Prepare a small amount of wine, I wonder if you have the honor to invite your Excellency to come to my humble residence and talk about making up for the regrets of the day?"
"Uh, you rented a house... and plan to live in Pujiang County permanently?" Wang Xian asked in surprise.
"Yes, the mountains and clear waters here are beautiful. It is a good place to study hard..." Wei Wuque said sincerely: "You can reach it just by raising your feet. Please be sure to appreciate it."
"Okay, nothing happened anyway." Wang Xian also wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, "Just go." He asked Xianyun to come with him. Lingxiao was sulking, so naturally he wouldn't go with him, so Wu Que let him go.
The young master is so disappointed.
The two of them followed Wei Wuque out of the county government office and arrived at Wei Wuque's residence... Sure enough, they arrived just a few steps away, and this guy actually lived across from the county government office!
"This..." Wang Xian sweated profusely and said, "You actually live in an inn?"
"Yes," Wei Wuque replied, "The students have rented a quiet courtyard. Although it is a little more expensive, it is safe to live there."
Looking at the bustling street behind him and the noisy inn he was in, Wang Xiandao said, "Are you sure you can study in a place like this?"
"Students are here to hone their concentration." Wei Wuque said, "I heard that this method is good, so I decided to give it a try."
"..." Wang Xian was completely speechless.
Following Wei Wuque, he entered the backyard of the inn and opened a door. It was a small and exquisite courtyard. When the courtyard door was closed, the noise outside suddenly became much quieter, which was quite a tranquil atmosphere.
"It turns out that Da Yin is hiding in the city." Wang Xian finally understood the scholar's thoughts, patted his head and said, "Is this what you mean?"
"That's what the Lord said." Wei Wuque said with a smile, "But I remember that the Lord said that he doesn't like to drink sour wine, so he doesn't have those big tricks."
"Haha..." Wang Xian couldn't help laughing: "You kid, you are so funny!"
