Chapter 76

"Patriarch, there is a person surnamed Bao asking to see him outside."

The little maid came to report.

Hua Yaoting bowed and stepped aside consciously, looking more respectful than before.

It should be the inquiring agent she sent to investigate, Hua Ting thought about walking to the front hall.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The little maid promised to turn around and inform the porter outside the moon gate, Hua Yaoting stood by the canal and stared at the little maid who was walking away, and took a long time to look away.

Bao Inquiry was originally named Bao Da, because he was well-informed and would be the first to know whenever something happened, and people often asked him to help investigate some things, so the locals gave him this nickname after a long time.

But Bao Da is very principled in his actions, and some unspeakable secrets will not be revealed to others even if they are rotten in his stomach.

Hua Ting walked into the front hall door, and then Bao Da came in to say hello to Hua Ting.

The rough envoy brought a chair to Bao Da, but Bao Da refused to sit and insisted on standing up to answer.

"Young lady, I investigated all the inquiries. Among these people, five are the neighbors of the ancient woman, three are street vendors, two are from the ancient woman's men, and one is from the mansion of the ancient lady. The servants have no special relationship with the old woman in private."

Thinking about it, those who can say hello in public are basically in an upright relationship, no matter how much you check, you won't get anything, just listen to the truth.

"I hear you know all about what's going on in this town."

Bao asked with a sneer and said, "It's all rumors, the villain is just an ordinary person, how can he have such supernatural powers, it's just that he knew some news earlier than others."

Huating only opened his mouth, and Bao Wenting stopped the conversation first. He is not an ordinary slicker, but this kind of person who is willing to run errands for money, refuses to answer every question must be due to insufficient money. Hua Ting casually took out a silver ticket and put it on the table. superior.

"I want to know which ancient woman is the one who makes friends with Zhang Po."

Some things should not only look at the appearance but also look at the essence. Sometimes there is a world of difference between the friendship that outsiders seem to have and the actual situation.

Bao inquired and glanced at the denomination of the bank note. It was 100 taels. Based on his usual income, this was almost his income for three years.

"really?"

Putting it in your hand and putting it on the table are two results. One is that the money belongs to him, and the other is that it may just be an eye craving for him.

Huating picked up the banknote and reached out to Bao to inquire, "Of course, it's only 100, two or five questions."

That is to say, a question is 20 taels. In the past, those who asked him about things would only give him three or five taels of silver, and he had to answer 1 whys as a gift, so how could he refuse such a good thing.

"Just ask..." Bao Wenting took the bank note with both hands, with an extremely respectful attitude, "There is no need to investigate the ancient woman who is good with Mrs. Zhang. It must be the ancient woman in our town, that is, Gu Qiniang."

She was thinking too much, Hua Ting thought to herself, but why did she always think that Gu Shi Niang was weird?
Bao inquired and continued, "The Gu family has a large population. For the convenience of the Gu family, the girls are named according to their numbers. Gu Po and Gu Shiniang were born by the same parents, and the two sisters often move around."

They are both working in the Ye family, Zhang Po and Gu Shiniang should know each other, and Gu Shiniang often walks with Gu Po, so is there a possibility that Gu Po is the bridge between the two, but Hua Ting is a bit curious I don't understand, one is returning home for the elderly and the other is a popular person, why are there contacts?

Hua Ting asked based on her intuition, "Is that Zhang Po related to this Gu Shi Niang?"

Bao inquired and replied, "Outsiders may think that the two have no relationship, but the villain guesses that there must be, because every time Gu Shiniang comes to Peach Blossom Town, Zhang Po must go to Gu Po's house as a guest."

Fortunately, Xue Ling, who came to Taohua Town with her, told her about the existence of this person, and she was really an inquisitive person. Hua Ting was very pleased but couldn't help complaining. Fortunately, the original owner was still from Taohua Town, so he didn't know the existence of this person.

"Do you know why Zhang Po encouraged Ouyang Fu and his wife in Jiuqu County to kill their own grandson?"

Bao inquired for a while, hesitated for a moment and said, "Little lady, you must be a man who does not keep his promise, but some news really cannot be bought with money."

"Well, I won't force you. Let's change the subject and ask you, is Ouyang Ji the grandson of Ouyang Fu and his wife?"

"What do you want the villain to say?" Bao asked why, "It's all speculative speculation, and I'm afraid it will only increase troubles."

"Let's just listen to it, and I will judge for myself."

Bao Da heard the words, and said, "Probably not, because the villain once heard that Mrs. Wen, who was the daughter-in-law of Ouyang's family, Wu, mentioned that because of dystocia, Wu's body and two lives were lost, but the villain couldn't figure out why there was an extra child. come out."

"How many people know about this?"

"It should be only the villain, because the Wen Po is the villain's aunt, and the aunt died suddenly on the second day after delivering Wu's child. The night before her death, the villain went to Jiuqu County for something, and happened to meet her. When I went to my aunt, my aunt mentioned it."

It should be that this aunt is also Bao Inquiring's eyeliner in Jiuqu County, but this matter is quite strange, so Granny Wen told Bao Inquiring about it.

Three questions have been asked, and there are two more, Hua Ting said, "Do you know why Liu Ergou, who was an servant in Huafu, wanted to kill Ouyang Ji?"

Bao inquired in a daze, he only knew that a servant named Liu Ergou in Huafu died, but he didn't know that Liu Ergou was going to kill Ouyang Ji who is now Huafu's son-in-law.

"The villain will check immediately."

This is not to blame for Bao's inquiring, Xue Ling ordered to seal the matter on the spot after the incident, so the matter did not leak out at all.

"The last question, has the real culprit of the Dry Well case been in contact with Hua Yaoting recently?"

Bao Wenwen was so frightened that his legs gave way and he fell to the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"I dare not inquire about this even though I have a hundred guts, my lady, please forgive me."

Hua Tingwen's deviousness, but he didn't expect to scare Bao Tingwen into this. It can be seen that the Dian'en Pavilion back then was not necessarily airtight, but even the slightest disturbance about the Dian'en Pavilion was unbearable for the common people. Famous people even dare not inquire about it.

"Don't be afraid. You can say it or not. I won't force you, let alone kidnap you with the so-called justice. After all, you're just doing business to make ends meet."

Hua Ting waved her hand, indicating that Bao Ting Ting could leave.

Bao Ting got up from the ground, walked out tremblingly, and suddenly turned around and fell to his knees after walking a few steps.

"Please help my little lady!"

Hua Ting was startled, and then said, "You and I are talking here only God knows what you know and I know, there is no need to help."

"As long as the words are spoken, there will be no secrets. The life of the villain is in the hands of the little lady. I beg the little lady to see that the villain has an 80-year-old mother and a baby who is waiting to be fed. Please save the villain."

She was worried about losing her life even when talking about it, which shows how difficult this matter is, but she can't even protect herself as a mere girl, so how can she save others.

"It was my curiosity that hurt you, but I have no power to restrain you, not to mention saving you, even I can't protect myself, why don't I give you some more silver, and you go out for a while, wait You will come back after the matter is settled."
