Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 39
The coolies on both sides of the trade were silent, and they all backed away obediently.

Tong San is a very big official, at least not easily seen at their level.Most people are not willing to deal with people in the government.

"My lord, my little one has sent someone to invite Deng to join the army. Shall we take Madam and girl away first?" Ping Gui noticed that Jiang Wenyuan's expression was not very good, and wanted to find a way for him to go down.

The dead body stinks from the wind for ten miles, and no one can stand it if it comes in close contact.

"That's fine." It doesn't look like a big case, and Jiang Wenyuan doesn't want to stay and make a fuss.

There are ten or eight corpses floating in the river every year in Anqing Mansion. If there are no obvious wounds on the body to prove that it is a murder, most of them will issue a notice to identify the corpse, and then throw it to the Yizhuang in the suburbs. After a while, no one claims it. Any broken mat was buried.

Those who are obviously handled by the family are left alone.

The power of the clan is stronger than the law. Although in peaceful times, everyone is educated and not barbarians, there is a more gentle way to deal with internal problems within the family.

For example, their Jiang family.There is a side courtyard in the old mansion in the capital, which is euphemistically called the Small Buddha Hall, but in fact it is closed, and most of them are female family members who have made mistakes in the family. Since then, this person will never show up in front of others and embarrass the family.

If it is more serious, it will be sent to the Duhuayuan outside the city.

It was the home of most officials and eunuchs, where they imprisoned female relatives who committed serious mistakes, were temporarily unsuitable to be abandoned or executed for the sake of their children, and whose family ugliness could not be publicized.

After entering the Duhuayuan, there will be no such person in the world.

After two or three years, he died of illness on the report, and outsiders have no way of discovering the clues.

Of course, in order to prevent some men from being too insane, pampering their concubines and destroying their wives, it is necessary for the natal family of a woman who made a mistake to have the right to know.

Jiang Wenyuan had only seen this kind of Shentang when he was a child, and the scene was so tragic that he still remembered it after many years.

Probably a family that is particularly stubborn and conservative.

Female adultery is a serious crime.The sage said, if all evil and adultery are the leader, if she dares to risk the disgrace of the world, she will have to bear the price, even if the price is her own life.

Ask Deng Ling'an to find out whose family it belongs to, take it back, find another place, bury it, or throw it in the pond, he doesn't care.Throwing it into the river would be too casual.

Recently, the family should not buy fish outside, let Zhuangzi send them all.

Jiang Wenyuan waved his sleeves and took his family away, leaving Deng Ling'an who came in a hurry to stare at the black, fat and smelly corpse in a daze.

What is it?Has he joined the army in a dignified manner, has he been reduced to the point of working for Yizhuang?

Moreover, such a woman would look dirty to him at a glance, how clean it would be to throw it back into the river!

In front of so many people on the shore, Deng Ling'an could only pinch his nose to recognize him, and sent someone to inform Yizhuang to come over to collect the body, and patted his ass and went home.

Jiang Jialian's master took all the people out and put on new clothes.Without it, it is probably because the smell of corpses is too penetrating and adhesive, and it cannot be handled by ordinary detergents. Even if everyone except Jiang Wenyuan is far away, the psychological effect is that the clothes are too smelly.

Jiang Chengxuan was the most hygienic of them all, he didn't even come out for supper, he used more than half of the boiled water in the tea room.

After finally feeling that he was clean, he was willing to get out of the tub.

If he wants to be an official in the future, he doesn't want to be a famous criminal official. Dead people are simply too dirty. I really don't know how hard Daddy's work is. He needs to work harder so that he can help Daddy sooner.

While it was still early, Jiang Chengxuan took the unfinished book and prepared to study hard.

"My lord, my lord Wang Huairen is asking to see you." Hopu knocked on the door and came in to report.

Um?Jiang Chengxuan looked up at the dark sky outside, it was already the second watch, why did Brother Huai come here at this time?
"Please." There was no reason for the person to go to the door.

Wang Huairen looked anxious, and followed Hopu all the way into Jiang Chengxuan's yard.

"Brother Chengxuan! You came here uninvited, and I disturbed you at night. It's really a last resort, and I hope you can help me!" Jiang Chengxuan had just had time to change into his regular clothes to meet the guest, and Wang Huairen bowed to the end without saying a word.

"Brother Huai, please hurry up! You and I have been classmates for many years, like brothers and sisters, why should we be like this?" Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback. He and Wang Huairen have a very good relationship. They don't distinguish between you and me in daily life. They speak and do things very casually. What's wrong with my son Wang Huairen?
"If I didn't regard brother Chengxuan as a close friend, how dare I come to the door with the cheek at such a time! It's really a big accident in the family, I beg you, introduce me to the judge, please forgive me, and help me find someone!"

Wang Huairen never asked Jiang Chengxuan to introduce his father, because he knew him well in the officialdom, so he could use his strength in the future. Even if Jiang Chengxuan himself mentioned that his father loves talents and would appreciate a gentleman like Wang Huairen, he never agreed.

The friendship between him and Jiang Chengxuan is very pure, it doesn't pollute the officialdom, there is no utilitarian calculation, it is purely because of similar interests, similar character, no filth can be tolerated.

But now he couldn't care less, the younger sister had been missing for more than a day, originally they thought she was playful and got lost by accident, so they sent their family members to look for her.

The family members searched everywhere they could, but they didn't find the younger sister, but they found the maid next to the younger sister, and when they found it, the body was already cold.

The maid was killed and there was no news of the younger sister. The family members were really anxious.

With the strength of a rich merchant like them, it's okay to have a few more servants, but if there are more, they will really be powerless.

In his anxiety, Wang Huairen didn't care too much, so he came to look for Jiang Chengxuan.

"Brother Huai, you don't need to say too much, just follow me!" Hearing that life was involved, Wang Huairen's younger sister was lost, Jiang Chengxuan led the way and walked towards the main courtyard of his parents without saying a word.

Wang Huairen was speechless with excitement, this is a true friend, he can be trusted no matter what!
He hastened to follow.

Jiang Wenyuan hadn't rested yet, and was chatting with Ning's family. He heard that his son had brought a friend here, and seeing that he was wearing short-sleeved shorts that his daughter honored, he couldn't see outsiders, so he went He hid in and changed his clothes, and asked his son to take him to the side hall.

In just half a moment, Wang Huairen was flustered, afraid that Jiang Wenyuan would look down on him and would not help, afraid that he would come too abruptly and be too disrespectful, and afraid that others would think he was cheating, so it would be okay to report the case again tomorrow morning.

Jiang Wenyuan came over, and Wang Huairen was already circling around the hall like ants on a hot pot.

"Students have seen adults!"

"You don't need to be polite, can you ask me for something?" Jiang Wenyuan saw Wang Huairen's embarrassment and nervousness, and his attitude was very gentle.

He heard from his eldest son that this friend took care of his son a lot in the academy, and he was willing to give this face.

Wang Huairen heaved a sigh of relief, at least he didn't arouse the adult's resentment, and quickly organized his words to explain the purpose of his visit: "Please forgive me, send some people to look for my little sister who has been missing for a whole day! Her personal maid was killed. , presumably she is also in danger!"
