It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 38 The Birth Woman
Mu Liuyun's heart skipped a beat.

If Jiang Jin is sitting here with him today, it would be better to say that in the past, it was not that Jiang Jin was a little careful at home, but Jiang Jin ignored it and avoided it for a while, and then it was over. No text.

But now they were facing Yuan Mu, who was absolutely impossible to provoke. Mu Liuyun was afraid that there would be something abrupt on the other side of the wall. After a while, he "accidentally" dropped the paper kite, and it was really lively.

Yuan Mu himself didn't respond. He drank tea on his own, with his eyebrows slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something on his mind. Mu Liuyun couldn't inquire about it. The world is at peace when the joke comes.

Fortunately, the heavens are beautiful, there is no wind today, and the wall is high enough. There is no way for Zhi Yuan to be thrown over the wall for no reason. After making a fuss across the wall for a while, it is estimated that she is tired, tired, and the sound gradually disappears from the other side of the wall. .

It was noon when the two of them were so similar to each other. When it was time for lunch, Mu Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief. With Mrs. Mu present, after all, he was an old ginger who had been in business for many years. He was so nervous, but he couldn't show it on his face. He was enthusiastic and entertained Yuan Mu in a clear, impeccable manner.

Yuan Mu was also very polite to Mrs. Mu. After a meal, the guests and hosts were happy and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Yuan Yi and Yuan Jia came back one after another before they had a cup of tea after eating, and both brought back some important clues.

Yuan Jia spent a whole afternoon walking around the city and outside of Taiping County, and he really found out that the Guo family did buy a small yard outside the city, probably many years ago, and has been idle. on.

About a year ago, a little lady moved in, dressed as a woman. She lived in a secluded place on weekdays, didn't show up much, and didn't communicate with the surrounding village women. Not much words, very mysterious.

The man from that family doesn't seem to be at home very often, and he doesn't know what to do for a living.This man also came and went in a hurry. Every time he went home, he took a carriage, and the carriage went directly into the yard. He never hit an outsider even face to face.

The woman was pregnant recently, and it was almost the month of giving birth, so the man stayed longer. The servants in the house these days came in and out, mostly buying some items that the woman needed to give birth, [-]% of the time. Good days are coming.

Yuan Yi only came back less than a stick of incense later than Yuan Jia. He asked for water before entering the door. Mu Liuyun knew that he was sent to Jingshui Nunnery to inquire about the situation. He poured tea and handed it to him.

Yuan Yi smiled gratefully at her, but he didn't care whether the tea soup was hot or not. He raised his head and drank it. After a good breath, he said to Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun: "Master, Mu Si! The young lady who had received the Guo family, the lady Ye, went to Jingshui Nunnery about ten days ago to have a vegetarian meal and worship Buddha. She stayed in the nunnery for seven days and left on the eighth day. When she left, a little nun took her out. , and watched her go to the foot of the mountain, get on her own carriage and be picked up."

"Is the news accurate?" Unlike Mu Liuyun, who almost jumped up after hearing it, Yuan Mu was still very stable.

"It's absolutely true, the little nun said that he recognized the Guo family's carriage. It had an indigo roof, and there were copper coins printed on the curtain of the carriage. It was exactly the same as the carriage that took her there."

"I went to fast on the tenth day, stayed for seven days, and left on the eighth day... If this Ye family was murdered at that time, it would not happen to be exactly the same as the date calculated during the previous autopsy!" Yuan Jia was on the side. Pinching his fingers to count the days, he found that it was exactly the same as Mu Liuyun's previous judgment, and the eyes he looked at her were extremely surprised.

What is this called!This is not to show that I have said so much before, and I have done so much, and this fellow didn't believe a word!

Mu Liuyun gritted his teeth secretly, but he smiled humbly at Yuan Jia with the thought of not being able to provoke him.

"When you came back, was Guo Hongqing in the courtyard outside the city?" Yuan Mu asked Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia nodded very firmly: "I asked someone about the appearance of that fellow surnamed Guo in advance, and I can't be wrong!"

"Is the manager interested in going out for a walk now?" Yuan Mu turned to ask Mu Liuyun after hearing him say this.

Mu Liuyun understood: "That's natural! My house is not far from Guo Hongqing's house. Your lord will come with me to take a look?"

"The manager will lead the way." Yuan Mu gestured indifferently.

Mu Liuyun hurriedly led the way like a puppy, Yuan Mu walked behind her, Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi also accompanied, the four of them walked out of the door of Mu's house, Mu Liuyun's light footsteps paused.

"Sir, why don't you wait a moment and allow me to go to the yamen to call some people?" Mu Liuyun suddenly realized that the case of the headless female corpse was handled by the prefectural yamen after all, and should be reported to the prefect, just heard it Saying that there is irrefutable evidence, Yuan Mu almost ignored such an important matter after being asked by Yuan Mu again.

Yuan Mu was the prince of the county prince, and he held a fourth-rank official position. There was no need to have any concerns about crossing the Jiangzhou prefect to investigate the case. No one dared to criticize him for the public and private.

But what kind of onion or garlic is he?A small manager with the size of a sesame joined the army and passed over his Shangguan to listen to Yuan Mu's dispatch. Although it was not a big mistake, in the future, if the magistrate of the prefecture turned over the old accounts and picked it up, he thought it was because he didn't take him seriously. The performance in his eyes, didn't he want to eat and walk around?
"The yamen of the prefecture is not far from here, you just need to wait for a while, I will go back!" Mu Liuyun added another sentence in order to fear Yuan Mu's impatience.

Yuan Mu glanced at her and said, "The manager doesn't have to make another trip. This officer, as a Gyeonggi Road official, takes care of the prison affairs and leads people to apprehend the suspects. Could it be that the manager doesn't think so?"

"My lord misunderstood, that's not what I meant... Then let's go to the Guo family! Please, my lord!" Mu Liuyun complained in his heart, wishing he could bite his back molars and swallow it, still He had to keep smiling and greet Yuan Mu to come with him.

Now this person in front of him clearly blamed himself for not being able to see the highs and lows. How dare he insist on reporting to the prefect for instructions at this time!
If you offend the prefect, you will at least have to wait until tomorrow if you are wearing small shoes. If you offend this master, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat right now.

It is said that people without far-sightedness will have near-term worries. If there are far-sighted ones, I will talk about it later. It is naturally more appropriate to resolve this "near-term worry" first!

　Thank you for the reward!

　　Thank you for the monthly pass for this person, cute bird x2!
