Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 12 Reexamination of Qiu Tong
Because Guanyue Building is the scene of the crime, it has been under surveillance for the past few days. People inside and outside the building do not go out or enter. The people arranged by Deng Ling'an guard it like an iron bucket.

Shan's mother was still as shrewd as ever, even though Jiang Wenyuan had a gloomy face, she still didn't say a word for a long time, ignoring Qiutong who was kneeling at his feet, holding the lid of the teacup in her hand, gently scraping off the foam, she It can also show the energy of being both sides when entertaining guests on weekdays.

"My lord, I'm afraid this small group of tea is not to your liking, so I'll let someone else change it. I don't know what your lord's preference is usually? Mao Jian? Or cave top oolong?"

Jiang Wenyuan raised his eyelids, with a smile that was not a smile: "Dongding Oolong single mother can serve guests, it's because I underestimated this Guanyue Tower."

Who doesn't know that this is the favorite of today's officials, and what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom.Now that he has been on the throne for more than 20 years, all the top ones will naturally come in, and the rest as long as they have something to do with the oolong on the top of the cave, the price has already been fired dozens or even hundreds of times compared to the previous dynasty.

With his background, it doesn't sound good to say a word. If he didn't have the help of his wife, he would never be arrogant enough to entertain guests with a piece of famous tea that costs one tael of silver.

After being an official for a long time, after seeing all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, he will inevitably be willing to think more when encountering problems, so as not to be inattentive and not know how to be tricked to death by others.

Apart from what his daughter had told him before, that there might be something wrong with this seemingly weak young lady, he even felt that the single mother was not innocent.

Why did it take a few days for the matter of the little bastard in the Yuan family to be fully exposed in the entire prefecture? In general, full of details, with nose and eyes.

Fragrant is really fragrant, dog blood is even more dog blood.Rao Jiang Wenyuan felt that when he had been handling cases for several years and nothing could refresh his bottom line, there would always be surprises.

For example, Yuan Lizhang's goodness in Longyang is nothing, but he is actually the one under the pressure.
Cough cough, although I was inexplicably relieved when I heard it, telling your family to cheat on my daughter, will you be punished?But after thinking about it again, what if the Yuan family thinks that they ordered someone to stab them out?
It wasn't because he was afraid of how the Yuan family would treat him. Given the mess in the Yuan family, it was impossible to say that the prince of Yong'an Hou had to give him a backup gift. Such a special son would definitely not be able to inherit the title, and the prince could rest easy in the future.

He just hates the feeling of being kept in the dark and being used as a gunman in a daze, so he is a little interested in who is standing behind the Guanyue Tower.

Mr. Zhao Yuming from the local government station is also a wonderful person.He is over seventy years old, and his official career has long been hopeless.I have no enterprising heart, occupying the position of the government office, living a life of retirement with cages and birds all day, all functions are assigned to subordinate officials, and everything is ignored.

Today, he has been expressly hinted countless times that he is asked to retire, but others will pretend to be blind and want to die of old age.

After all, he was someone who supported him, and the officials didn't want to do too much. Anqing was not an important place, and if there were no disturbances, the officials would put up with such a vegetarian meal.Otherwise, it would be of no benefit to him to really chill the old minister's heart.

Zhao Yuming was neither deaf nor blind, so that he could support his retirement more comfortably, he wished that his subordinates were all capable officials who could help him with his official duties.When Jiang Wenyuan was first transferred to the post of general judge, the old man knew everything and told him all the twists and turns in the officialdom of Anqing Mansion.

Even some merchants that cannot be messed with have all been pointed out.

Only Guanyue Tower, Zhao Yuming said that he didn't know who was behind it, and only reminded him that they probably couldn't afford to mess with him.

Qinlou Chuguan, especially those who got into No. 1 house, who can have no one behind them.

The integration of government and business has existed since ancient times. Officials seek money, and businessmen seek shelter.Otherwise, if you have no power, no power, and no money, you are like a child walking in a busy city with money. The county magistrate who ruined his family, or the governor who destroyed his family, which one is easy to get along with.

In the past, Jiang Wenyuan didn't care about it. Firstly, he was not a womanizer, and secondly, officials did not allow prostitutes. He would definitely not come to this place. As long as the Guanyue Tower does not cause trouble, they will not violate the river water.

Now, he must know the purpose of the people behind the scenes, whether they have enmity with the Yuan family, or are related to the murder.

If it's the former, it has nothing to do with him, if it's the latter, it's worth talking about.

Shan's mother smiled apologetically, and kept her posture very low: "Master Jiang was joking, this hole-top oolong is not the property of Guanyuelou, it is a slave arty, who spent huge sums of money to prepare it for the distinguished guests. Make a good impression on the adults, and ask the adults to show mercy."

"I'm here today. Miss Qiu Tong must know what's going on, but I don't know, do you want to talk here, or go back to the government hall with me?" At the end, the tone was cold.

The prestige of perennial trials, Qiutong, a ten-year-old girl, how could she hold on, collapsed on the ground, shaking like a sieve: "Slave said, slave said, adults, slaves, slaves don't want to lie, slaves are afraid , I am afraid that the adults will directly regard the slave as a murderer!"

As expected of a newcomer, even though she was crying miserably, her little face was still full of pear blossoms and rain, and there was no embarrassment, but a bit of distress on her face, which looked lovely and charming.

Jiang Wenyuan was unmoved, and Qiutong flirted with the blind man.

"Don't waste the patience of the official, tell the whole story of what happened at that time again, otherwise the torture tools in the government prison will also let you learn to speak well." Jiang Wenyuan sat up straight and motioned to the clerk on the side to start recording: "Say it, I'll only ask once, if there is any concealment, you will be punished severely!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I said, I said, my lord, calm down."

Qiutong is still young, and her mother promised her that she would only be a performer, and that she would wait two years to accompany her guests.

The overnight stay this time was also agreed in advance, only to accompany the wine and sing songs, and not to do other things.

A fresh cash cow, of course, a single mother will not easily destroy it.If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ji was a frequent customer and the price he paid was really high, she would not be at ease.

For men, especially men who always go to brothels, hugging a beautiful lady just to watch but not eat, isn't that the same as an old cat sleeping on salted fish?
Shan's mother reminded Qiutong to serve snacks, don't be easily touched by others, it's better to pour him more wine, he will be so drunk that he will be powerless to do anything.

So they rested very late that day, and Gui Nu had to go to bed more than ten times just for drinks, and Qiu Tong himself inevitably drank too much, so groggy that he didn't even have the memory of how he fell asleep.

She didn't wake up in a daze until the sun was bright the next day.Because she was drunk last night, she passed out directly on the desk. After waking up the next day, she was sore all over. Just as she wanted to get up, she felt a tingling pain in her hand.

In her hand, she held a five-inch long dagger!The blood on the blade had dried up, giving off a disgusting smell.

Shocked, she threw away the dagger, just about to scream, when she raised her head slightly, she saw Xiao Ji lying on the bedside covered in blood!
