Stop pretending!The group pet koi is actually a case-solving boss

The next day, Hua Ting and Ouyang Ji went to Liu Qinglan to talk about recruiting teachers.

Liu Qinglan saw that Hua Ting had finally settled down and started the matter of Zhang Luo Academy. Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, she immediately agreed to help recruit with the surrounding counties.

After talking about the academy, Liu Qinglan said, "I have found out some things about Mrs. Zhang, maybe the young lady will be interested..."

Hua Ting met Ouyang Ji's eyes for a moment, "What did your lord find?"

Liu Qinglan said, "On the day when Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, gave birth, Gu Shiniang came to see Mrs. Gu. After Mrs. Gu left, Mrs. Gu went to see Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Wu died of dystocia the next day."

These things sound normal, but once you have doubts in your heart, you can hear something unusual.

"Then Gu Shi Niang didn't bring anything for Gu Po?"

"This..." Liu Qinglan glanced at Ouyang Ji who was listening with drooping eyes, and said, "Even if you brought something, it's not big, and no one will pay attention to it."

Babies who are just a few days old are really not big. For example, if they are secretly brought into Gu's house or thrown out of Ouyang's house, as long as they are careful, outsiders will not be able to detect them at all.

"What about Ouyang's family?" Hua Ting asked.

"I didn't investigate this point, do I need to investigate?" After Liu Qinglan asked, she felt stupid. If Ouyang Ji was really brought by Gu Shiniang, then as long as the whereabouts of Wu's son were found, the truth would be revealed. Is it?

Hua Ting didn't continue to talk, lest Liu Qinglan seriously doubt herself.

At this time, Ouyang Ji said in a deep voice, "I just happen to be a little homesick, let's go back and have a look."

After hearing this, Liu Qinglan did not leave the three of them behind, and ordered the three of them to be sent away.

Before Hua Tinglin left, she gave Liu Qinglan 1 taels of silver bills as collateral. The opening of the academy was not a joke, and the procedures that should be followed must be followed. Otherwise, why would Liu Qinglan mobilize the surrounding counties to help her recruit talents.

This time Liu Qinglan did not refuse, originally he planned to ask Huating to pay some mortgage, otherwise, in case something went wrong, let alone returning to the imperial court, it would be an extravagant hope for him to continue to be a small sesame official, Liu Qinglan was very satisfied with Huating's understanding Current affairs, pay more attention to recruitment.

After leaving the yamen, the three of them went to Ouyang's house in the depths of Bird Clothes Lane.

Standing in the yard where he has lived for more than ten years, Ouyang and He had mixed feelings, but they stopped being entangled in a moment, and Tong Hua Ting and Xue Ling searched everywhere together.

In fact, Hua Ting was a little worried. If Ouyang Fu and his wife buried the child with Wu after Wu's child died, their search would be in vain. But after asking Xue Lingyao's child that died, they could not enter the ancestral grave. The Wu family entered the ancestral grave, so they thought they might be able to find some clues here.

But it had happened for more than ten years, and there was a high probability that the dead baby had been thrown into the wilderness, so the three of them were a little discouraged after a rough search and found nothing.

Ouyang Ji thought for a while, and said, "What if Mrs. Zhang came here, brought one and took another?"

Hua Ting and Xue Ling nodded at the same time, "It's better to go to Zhang Po's house again."

"Again? Have you ever been to Mrs. Zhang's house?"

Hua Ting asked Ouyang Ji, "Haven't you been there?"

The three tacitly shut up at the same time.

When they arrived at Mrs. Zhang's house, the three of them were familiar with the road, and the already turned over messy yard became even more messy.

Hua Ting and Xue Ling had nothing to gain, but Ouyang Ji found an iron box full of grass ash at the bottom of the stove pit. The box was covered with a thick layer of mud, which could completely withstand the heat of the embers.

Ouyang Ji took out the booklet hidden in the box, which recorded the various businesses that Mrs. Zhang took over. On the day before Ouyang Ji's birth, it was marked with the Xu family in Donglai Village, and on the day of Ouyang Ji's birth, it was marked with Shi Niang Sending Su Ye Shijin.

Hua Ting pointed to the cryptic record above and said, "If this is not a newborn child, but a baby about one to two months old, it should weigh ten catties, and Ye represents the Ye family."

It is known that Gu Shiniang came to look for Gu Po, so even if she really gave Zhang Po ten catties of Su Yeye, it should be given by Gu Po, how could it be recorded that it was given by Shi Niang, the truth is ready to come out.

Ouyang Ji calmly said, "Don't worry about this for now, let's go to Xu's family in Donglai Village first."

The three of them left as soon as they said they would, and drove straight to Donglai Village.

The four villagers had left their home addresses before, and when they went to Donglai Village to inquire, the villagers took the three of them to the home of the village head Xu Mingfu who had been to Xue's house.

Xu Mingfu heard that the three of them came to find the Xu family who adopted an abandoned baby back then, and insisted that there was no such family.

Hua Tingdao, "We are here to investigate the case, not the family of an abandoned baby, but if the village head refuses to take us to see the child, I can also bring this matter to the public and say that the people from the official family are different from us. You decide."

The people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that he will be the God of Wealth in Donglai Village in the future, and the village chief immediately compromised.

"That girl was sold by Xu Laosi to someone else as a slave. I heard that she was dead, and the master paid some money. Then Xu Laosi and his wife used the money to betroth their youngest son. If the lady wants to inquire The child's situation may not be easy."

How could Hua Ting fail to understand what Xu Mingfu meant, because she was afraid that if the abandoned baby's family found out, they would come to share the money.

"Don't worry, everyone in the abandoned baby's family is dead."

Now Xu Mingfu was relieved, and took the three of them to meet Xu Laosi and his wife.

Hua Ting gave Mr. Xu a piece of silver, and Mr. Xu said everything immediately.

"At the beginning, my husband and I had no children, Zhang Po said that we needed a medicine introduction, adopted a girl, and within three years we would definitely have a child.

No one in our Donglai Village sent a child out, so I asked Granny Zhang to help find one. Later, Granny Zhang brought the child, and my wife was pregnant within three years.

Because the family was poor and couldn't afford it, we begged someone to sell the child to a good family as a slave. No one expected that he would die suddenly. "

Anyway, he wasn't someone who fell from his body, and he could still get money after he died. When Xu Laosi said this, his voice was low on purpose, but he could still hear that there was no sadness at all.

"When the child was sent, did you say who it belonged to, and did you have anything to prove your identity?"

Fourth Xu shook his head, "It was just wrapped in a torn quilt, and he was naked with nothing on. But Mrs. Zhang mentioned that my family name is Ouyang, and it's from Jiuqu County."

Ouyang Ji's heart suddenly sank. There are very few people with the surname Ouyang in Jiuqu County, and they are basically related to each other. With Zhao's long-tongued habit, if there is such a thing, he would have already yelled about it, unless it is his own business. Covered to prevent outsiders from knowing.

Now, it is almost certain that Ouyang Ji is not the grandson of Ouyang Fu and his wife, that is to say, at least 50.00% of Ouyang Ji is Xiao Beikou's little master, Hua Ting suddenly feels a little flustered.

"Do you know the address of Ouyang's house?"

"Yes, Bird Clothes Lane."

In order to avoid trouble, generally they would not mention their family to the family who accepted the abandoned baby, even if they did, it would be impossible to give such a detailed address, Hua Ting asked.

"Why did Granny Zhang tell you this?"

Xu Lao Si knocked the pot on the table and coughed a few times.

"Mrs. Zhang said that if someone came to inquire about this child one day, they should just say it and there is no need to hide it."
