The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 210
"It's irrelevant, you have to investigate it again. It's best if it's irrelevant. One possibility can be ruled out. If it's relevant, it's another piece of evidence for conviction."

Guan Quantong heard that Wei Xiancheng had lost his sense of propriety, and passed the letter in his hand to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan reluctantly stepped forward to take the letter paper.

This behavior was tantamount to provocation, and angered Wei Xiancheng, "The content of the letter is useful or not, and you need a judge? The county magistrate read the sage's book into the dog's belly? You have to rely on women to act."

This is exaggerated, but this is a dispute between two adults, Chen Yuan is really not qualified to speak, once she speaks, she will make Guanzhi County sit down and Wei Xiancheng's instigation.

If you are bullied in front of you, if you don't refute, you will be kicked in the face.

Guan Zhixian was not very angry. Wei Xiancheng's words were messed up today, and he lost his sense of proportion, which showed that he panicked!
With a smile, Guan Zhixian said leisurely like a gentleman, "That's wrong, Chen Yuan is not just a woman, she is also an assistant hired by the county government. What is the relationship between discussing the case and her gender with her?"

"..."

As soon as the Shangguan's name was mentioned, Wei Xiancheng, who couldn't find any reason to refute, didn't dare to vent his evil anger unreasonably, "Hmph, what did Chen Yuzuo find out after reading this letter, and he can solve the case immediately. ?”

He didn't dare to quarrel with Guan Zhixian anymore, and the firepower was transferred to Chen Yuan's head.

Chen Yuan smiled wryly in her heart, Wei Xiancheng was so unreasonable.

She was also a bachelor, so she handed the letter directly to Wei County Chancellor, "Humble position, I see that the letter is only about the status of virtue and talent, maybe the adults will have a good opinion after reading it."

Wei Xiancheng suddenly lost his interest, the origin of his virtuous and talented status can be tested, otherwise Yu Shouqian would not let someone with unknown background be his housekeeper.

Gao Jian couldn't bring it up, and he was even more dissatisfied that Chen Yuan dared to turn against the general.

"It's all known circumstances, so I said it was a waste of manpower in the yamen."

Wei Xiancheng refused to accept the letter with his hands behind his back, and after a quick glance, he was sure that Chen Yuan was not lying. He felt that staying here was really meaningless, and left the meeting room in a swaggering manner.

As soon as he left, Guan Zhixian simply kicked out the others, leaving only Chen Yuan, Liu Yanchun, Wei Xiancheng and Yu Quan to discuss the case.

Decai was born in Jieshiwei, Shanmei. His father, Luo Bi, was a local boy. He and his elder brother studied with his father for several years when he was young. After his father died of illness, he was raised by his elder brother.

When the eldest brother reached the age of marriage, De Cai took the initiative to go out as an apprentice, gave up the house and land to the eldest brother, and gave the money he earned to the eldest brother to marry a wife.

Because he has studied, he can learn everything quickly with virtue and talent, and he is hardworking and honest. He gradually fell into the eyes of his boss, and was framed by the shopkeeper and imprisoned.

Yu Shouqian, who went out to collect seafood, had dealt with Decai before, knew people with insight, and was grateful for his character. He spent money to rescue Decai and brought him back to Yu's mansion as an errand.

This is information that is well known in the Yu Mansion.

At this moment, there are still some details in the letter that the servants don't know.

Yu Shouqian failed to clear De Cai of the crime of stealing money from the account back then, and he was taken out of the prison after spending money to settle it, so De Cai was quite suspected of leaving Jieshiwei in desperation, so he didn't dare to speak out with great fanfare.

In the second year when Decai entered the Yu Mansion as an errand, Jieshiwei was attacked and breached by Japanese pirates taking advantage of the emptiness of everyone's defense during the Spring Festival. Meitian Village and other villages suffered greatly.

And Decai's eldest brother died in the anti-Japanese war in Umeda Village.

After the Japanese pirates were repulsed, Umeda Village was burned to the ground and could not live.

Those who have men in the family can rebuild their homes, and the rest can only seek refuge with their relatives or sell themselves into slavery. No one is in the mood to celebrate the Spring Festival.

At that time, the villagers saw the virtuous elder sister-in-law Zhaodi preparing to leave with the child on her back, and asked her if she wanted to go back to her natal family, but she said she was going to seek refuge with her uncle.

People in the village knew about virtue and talent, but they hadn't seen him for a long time, so they asked Zhaodi if he knew where virtue and talent were.

The eldest sister-in-law brought her back. Decai wrote a letter to her family after she settled down last year. She once heard from her husband that her brother-in-law was on an errand. But at that time, the husband was angry that his younger brother was not clean and stole money from the employer, so he did not want to deal with him again. After writing a letter and scolding them, the two brothers were so angry that they broke off contact.

But Zhaodi wanted to try it. After all, my uncle said in the letter that the main family would not make things difficult for the servants, and she was going to seek refuge. The uncle should arrange an errand for her for the sake of his nephew, so that she can raise a child.

After hearing what she said, the villagers didn't want to stay. After all, it was hard for everyone to cross the river with Nipusa.

The letter also said that when Zhao Di left, Ruan Cui from the same village also left with her.

Ruan Cui was married to Decai by her elder brother, but before they got married, Decai was involved in a lawsuit and sent to prison. When the Japanese pirates burned the village the next year, her father and brother also died in the war against the Japanese.

Following Zhaodi to leave is her best choice, and also her only choice.

"According to the letter, Decai's elder sister-in-law and fiancée have come to look for him, but after several days of investigation, he has no relatives and no reason in Weiyu County." Chen Yuan couldn't help worrying about the two women and a The fate of the child comes.

Yu Quan analyzed, "Jieshiwei is 17 miles away from Weiyu County, and the government officials have to run fast for two days. Two weak women have no money, and they have to bring their children. After ten and a half months, they should reach Weiyu. Yuxian is gone, but he hasn’t been seen for [-] years, I’m afraid...he’s in danger.”

"It seems that this letter is indeed of little use."

Guan Zhixian was suddenly dejected, "Let's go."

"Yes."

A group of people left the meeting room and went on business separately.

Liu Yanchun followed behind Chen Yuan, saw her frowning and lost in thought, and asked, "What is Senior Sister thinking?"

Chen Yuan didn't dare to say anything without evidence in front of adults.

In front of Liu Yanchun, she didn't shy away from brainstorming, "There is no hatred for no reason, and no love for no reason. Whether De Cai is hiding the murderer for the murderer or he is the murderer, his hatred for Yu Shouqian must exceed His gratitude to Yu Shouqian will do."

After investigation, Decai did not purchase his own land and family business outside the Yu Mansion.

For such a greedy and loyal steward, money cannot buy him off.

"Senior Sister means, maybe we can think about it from Decai's sister-in-law and fiancee?"

"Yes."

Liu Yanchun glanced at Chen Yuan unexpectedly, and asked, "Sister-in-law Zhaodi and fiancée Ruan Cui have lost news for 17 years. If their disappearance has something to do with Yu Shouqian, why did Decai take revenge now? People with hatred kidnapped Zhaodi and Ruan Cui, why are they threatening De to kill Yu Shouqian now?"

"17 years..."

The questions raised by Liu Yanchun are very reasonable. Chen Yuan pondered over the 17 years, "17 years ago during the Qingming Festival, Sheng Dongyue died in a fire. Now, with Decai present, Yu Shouqian fell into the water and died without drinking or being poisoned."

I always feel that these things must be related, but she can't find the connection.
