Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 682

The guy from the Mu family who came to deliver the sauce jar was called Ma Tingtu, who just passed his 17 years old birthday this year.He is not a local, his hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he came to Xijing through a friend's introduction. His friend lives well in Xijing.

On the way to Xijing, he fell ill and almost died. It was Mu Sheng, the current head of the Mu family, who saved him. In order to repay his life-saving grace, he decided to stay in the Mu family soy sauce garden as a waiter.

Mu Sheng saw that he worked very quickly and was very clever, and felt that he was lucky. He picked up a piece of treasure, so he hired him as an official clerk of his shop.

These were all said by Matingtu himself, and he poured out all of them without waiting for everyone to ask him.

It can also be seen from this that this should be a very talkative person.

Ma Tingtu talked on and on for half an hour alone, only to realize that he was the one talking all the time, and the big guys sitting across from him just looked at him quietly and listened to him, feeling a little embarrassed and a little clueless measures.

"That's a good point. We've already understood the situation." Song Qiyun glanced at Shen Cha, saw the other party nod his head slightly, then turned his head and looked at Ma Tingtu again, "How about this, you can find out the boss again Let’s talk about the family’s death.”

"Okay!" Ma Tingtu nodded, "This is the third time Xiaomin has given miso to this pickle garden."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Meng interrupted Ma Tingtu, "How long have you been working in Mu's house?"

"It's not long, less than half a year."

Bai Meng exchanged glances with several others. Dai Yi really didn't know him after working in Mu's house for less than half a year. At this time, he had already received cruel training in the new barracks of Shen's army in Jiaping Guancheng.

"Keep talking!" Song Qiyun raised his chin, "You have sent miso to this pickle garden three times, didn't you send it before?"

"Yes, it wasn't Xiaomin before. The guy who was in charge of delivering miso before accidentally fell off the roof when he was repairing the roof, and he is recovering from his injuries now! So, the boss asked Xiaomin to replace him temporarily. Xiao Min sent miso sauce every five days, each time with ten cylinders. When he got up in the morning, he came in as soon as the gate of Xijing City opened. By the time it was time for lunch, Xiaomin had already returned to Qipan Town. At that time, the pickle garden was already open to welcome guests, and the garden where the sauce tank was emptied had people coming in and out, and began to chatter. But only this time, no matter how Xiaomin knocked on the door, no one came to answer the door. Nothing happened."

"Don't you think about going in and taking a look?"

Song Qiyun's eyes fell on Ma Tingtu's hand intentionally or unintentionally, recalling that the handprint he saw just now should be about the same size.

"Xiaomin is a little timid. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, and I feel very panicked. There happened to be a patrolling sergeant passing by, Xiaomin...Xiaomin invited them to take a look. They also patted the door for a long time. , and found that no one answered, so I kicked the door in. After I kicked the door in, I realized that something really happened and found the body."

Shen Cha and Shen Haolin turned their gazes to Bai Meng, and the three of them exchanged glances, Bai Meng nodded slightly towards them, Ma Tingtu's answer was exactly the same as the first two testimony, not even a word was wrong.

Shen Cha looked at Ma Tingtu who was calmly answering Song Qiyun's questions one after another, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

In fact, from the moment she first entered the door, she felt that this person looked very familiar, but she was certain that she had never seen this person before.The person she was familiar with should have long since passed away.

"What's the matter?" Shen Haolin leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

Shen Cha didn't answer Shen Haolin's question right away, but stared at Ma Tingtu for a while, then walked to Shen Haolin's side, and whispered out the doubts in his heart.

While listening to Shen Cha's words, Shen Haolin didn't leave Ma Tingtu's eyes. After hearing Shen Cha's doubts, he smiled slightly and whispered a name in her ear.

"Do you think he is the familiar person?"

Hearing this name, Shen Cha's eyes lit up, and he nodded towards Shen Haolin affirmatively.

"That's right, it's him!" There was a faint smile on her face, "He hid it quite deeply. I didn't expect to see the descendants of his family today, many years later."

"It's not that his family is all dead, the children under the age of ten are still left behind." Shen Haolin sighed, "He said just now that the 17 years old birthday was passed not long ago, and ten years ago, he happened to be eligible for pardon. That condition."

"Brother said so!" Shen Cha nodded, patted Song Qiyun on the shoulder lightly, told him a name, and told him his guess along the way.

After listening to Shen Cha's words, Song Qiyun was stunned. He had also heard about that person's name, but when that person was in glory, he himself did not have the ability to go to the battlefield, and he was not able to witness that person's true face.By the time he has this ability, that person is already dead, which is one of his regrets.

Song Qiyun stared at Ma Tingtu for a long time while thinking about his own thoughts, which made the other person's heart shudder.

After watching for half a stick of incense, Song Qiyun's face became more and more cold, and he slightly raised his eyebrows at the person opposite, showing a sneer.

"Ma Tingtu, right? Have you heard the name of the general of the Kingdom of Jin, Ma Boergu?"

Hearing Song Qiyun's question, Ma Tingtu was stunned. He didn't expect Song Qiyun to ask this question. After regaining his composure, he turned his gaze to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, looked at them for a while, and sighed heavily , with a wry smile on his face.

"When I saw the two involved in this case, I felt that I might not be able to escape."

"You just admit it?" Song Qiyun felt quite surprised seeing him like this, "Don't you even resist?"

"In front of Shen Guogong and General Shen, any resistance is futile. The two can be regarded as acquaintances of my father. My father mentioned them many times at home, especially the general. He once told us juniors that if you When you meet the two, you must not play with your mind, because the eyes of both of them are not rubbed with sand." Ma Tingtu smiled at himself, "If I knew that there were two of you, maybe I wouldn't take this risk." He looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "As for my motive for killing them, the two of you are insiders, so I don't need to say more, right?"

"En!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodded at the same time, "You wanted to avenge the family robbery, and Zhuo Lu played a key role in your family's case."

"I know that the things my father did are indeed unavoidable, but..." Ma Tingtu's face darkened, "That should be the Jinwang's business, not what he should do as a minister, especially a convicted minister. matter!"
