Chapter 491 Curiosity (please subscribe and vote monthly)
At this time, if a woman steals a man or a man keeps an extramarital wife, the government will not care about it, unless a human life is involved, then it will be a human life lawsuit.

In the early Song Dynasty, just like the Five Dynasties, there were still some legacy from the Tang Dynasty, and there were not so many rules between men and women.

Just like many noble ladies who are married into families, after giving birth to an heir, they will play their own way with the men in the family.

Men would take concubines and raise actresses, and women would go to small huts or raise noodles directly at home. These are all very common things, but no one would say it openly.

Of course, the law doesn't care about this because it's a family matter. It doesn't mean that everyone can steal men's beauty and jade at will.

If people on both sides are caught in bed and beaten half to death, they won't care. After all, many cases of this matter are resolved privately, and whoever is wrong will suffer the consequences.

Until the rain stopped, there was no conclusion to the argument over there, but almost all the neighbors had gone home.

It's noon, it's time to go home and cook.

Qingyan and the others were still watching from the window, wanting to see how they would solve the problem in the end. They also looked at Chen's husband to see if he would reveal any more flaws.

They were watching the excitement here when there was a knock on the door, followed by Yang Qiaoer's voice.

"Sister Xue, sister She, we are going downstairs for lunch."

Yes, Qingzhu said to others that his surname was She, which was derived from the homophone of snake.

"Okay, we'll come right away!"

Qingyan replied, and winked at Chou Chou Jin Yang and Huang Huang. Jin Yang returned to the space directly, while Chou Chou and Huang Huang returned to the next room through the space because they had heard Yang Pingan knocking on the door of their room. The door is closed.

Qingyan looked back out the window again, then left the room with Qingzhu. After meeting the others in the corridor, the group went downstairs together.

The lobby downstairs was full, and the four officials were among them. Since the rain had stopped, they were going to continue inquiring about the shops outside, and also wanted to take a trip to the mountains to the north.

It's just that they don't have much hope anymore. With the heavy rain, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and many things are probably washed away.

But even if you know they are there, you still have to go, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when you return. This is a place arranged by the adults before they came, and they must go to check.

Qingyan and the others were also ready to set off again. The sky had cleared outside and they could reach the next town after walking all afternoon.

Of course, the consciousness will continue to stare at this point. The previous excitement has not yet come to an end, so they are quite curious.

Chou Chou still wanted to stare elsewhere, so Qingyan and the others would stare here first, and then let Chou Chou come after their spiritual consciousness was really out of reach.

The same goes for everyone else in the inn. Fortunately, there are drainage ditches on both sides of Shuangqu Town, so the road is not flooded and we can continue walking. It’s just because the road is covered with stone slabs. It just rained heavily and the road surface is a little slippery. Again The speed is slower when we hit the road.

Jin Jin, who was in charge of driving the car, was watching the situation ahead, so he didn't worry about taking the wrong route. Qingyan and Qingzhu placed their consciousness over Shuangqu Town.

They discussed it, Qingzhu was responsible for staring at Liu's side, and Qingyan stared at Chen's husband to see if the two would meet in the future.

However, until they arrived at the next town, there was no movement there. On the contrary, they occasionally looked at the officials. After inquiring in the town to no avail, the officials went to the mountain in the north and went directly to the mountain. The bodies were found.

This was really luck, because the rain was heavy, and the corpses were washed from the mountain to the ditch at the foot of the mountain. They found the corpses as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Although there is no way to find the place where they were killed, with these corpses, we can see if we can find any clues on them.

Anyway, they are here to complete the task. It doesn't matter if they can find it or not. If they can find out the best thing, they might get a reward. If they can't find it, it won't be a problem. The superiors won't blame them for their incompetence in this kind of thing.

In this way, two of the four officials returned to the town, drove an ox cart back, and took the corpses back.

They did not enter Shuangqu Town again, but returned directly to Yong'an County. These corpses were soaked in water and they had to rush back to report before they rotted.

After entering the town, we went straight to an inn to stay. The night passed peacefully. We got up the next morning, had breakfast, and continued on our way.

Further ahead is Wanzai County, the county where Yang Pingan and his family are located.

I originally thought about parting ways with their family here, but now it seems that I don't have to.

I was worried about getting them involved before, but now it's different from what they thought, so there's no need. You can follow them there and have a look.

Along the way, I often heard them talk about how fun their hometown is, how beautiful the scenery is on the mountains, and how many special delicacies they can cook, etc. They were actually a little moved.

It was because they were afraid of killing them that they decided to separate. They couldn't put this innocent family in danger just because of their greed and curiosity. In that case, they would be worse than those who specifically committed evil. People are no better.

Although they didn't know what was going on with the county magistrate's wife, and whether they had noticed their presence as they had guessed before, it seemed that at least they didn't know their whereabouts at the moment.

Besides, the two groups of people who came recently have been dealt with by them, and there are no more pursuers from behind. Moreover, the second group of people are not coming for them, but to kill people and silence them, so they also think it is possible to fight with them. There are some differences from what I imagined.

Now let's see if there will be any changes in the future. If not, they can just go back with them and play for a few days.

There are still two days left to walk from here to Wanzai County. Yes, the next stop is the county seat, but we still need to find a place to rest in the middle.

The location of the county seat is a little different. Although the distance is only more than thirty miles, you have to climb a mountain and cross a river by boat. Before crossing the river, you have to find a place to stay for one night, and you can only cross the river the next morning, otherwise there will be no boats at all.

Because there are only two ferries a day, one goes there and one comes back, only one comes and one goes.

If you don't want to take the ferry, that's fine. Then you have to make a detour. The detour will take at least forty or fifty miles.

And the detour does not mean that there is a bridge over there, but that there is a mountain over there. When the river reaches that side, it turns into underground water, flows under the mountain, and just crosses over the mountain directly.

As a result, the road will be even more difficult to walk, and it will probably be delayed for two more days. It is better to rest one night and catch the boat the next day.

And if you take a boat here, you can bring the carriage with you. It doesn't mean that you can only take people. You have to leave the carriage here. In that case, there is no need for them to run over.

Qingyan wanted to sleep at night, so the task of keeping an eye on Chen's husband was left to Qingzhu. It didn't matter whether Qingzhu slept at night. After all, it had passed its hibernation period. Most of the time, it closed its eyes to rest or relax. I am practicing cultivation and seldom sleep.

The first thing Qingyan did when she got up this morning was to ask that person if there was any movement yesterday.

Qingzhu nodded and shook his head, and then said: "That man secretly came out of his house at Haishi last night and went to see Mrs. Liu. He didn't do anything, he just comforted Mrs. Liu and then went back.

I listened to their conversation and didn't say anything. I just asked her to take good care of her health and raise the child in her belly. I told her to leave the rest to him, and then went back to sleep.

Oh, by the way, he and Da Chen slept in separate rooms, not in the same room. To be more precise, they slept in separate courtyards.

His yard is quite large, with three entrances. Then, his parents lived at the end of the courtyard, and he and Chen lived in the middle room, along with their children.

But they built a wall in the middle, with three bedrooms on one side and two studies on the other, and the man slept in the study.

Precisely because they were separated into two courtyards, he didn't want to disturb anyone when he went out. "

Qingyan nodded. It seemed that the relationship between the two couples was not very good. If Mrs. Chen knew that her husband had secretly lived with her younger siblings, she didn't know what she would think.

You'll probably be very annoyed. After all, rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests. Even if it's stealing from someone, it's better to steal from a stranger than from your own relatives. If you steal from your own relatives, they're still brothers and daughters-in-law. No matter how you look at it, you'll feel disgusted.

Although it is not certain whether Chen Jindong was killed by these two people, it is certain that the child in Mrs. Liu's belly is indeed the elder Chen's husband.

I just don't know if Liu's eldest son is also his. If so, then the two people have always been unclear.

Or if it was true as Liu said, her husband knew about it, it would be even more difficult to explain.

Qingyan had seen an article about borrowing seeds when she and her grandma were watching TV before. She was still young at the time and didn't understand what it meant. She asked specifically about it, and her grandma explained it to her, saying that it was people from some remote places. Because they are infertile, they will borrow seeds from relatives or friends so that they can have offspring.

In fact, she only heard a little about it at the time and didn't understand it very well. Later, as she grew up, she usually learned some strange knowledge from some people's words or from some TV dramas, and then she understood it. What does this mean?

So if Chen Jindong knew about this, it would not be unreasonable. It might also be just to keep a heir for himself. No wonder Mrs. Liu would be so confident.

Because this kind of thing is generally not proposed by women. At least in a patriarchal society, women would not dare to propose such a proposal, or they would be too embarrassed to propose it.

On the contrary, it is the husband's family or the men who will mention such things. Of course, some women may refuse, but some think that the husband's family has agreed, so there is nothing to say. Anyway, he is not responsible. As for what outsiders think, then It really doesn't matter much. This is not the time to be particularly harsh on women. Rumors really can't kill anyone.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Wu Zetian and Yang Guifei. Even the emperor would dare to do this, and it would be known to everyone and even recorded in the history books. Isn't it still a good thing?

Even when men and women are most guarded, it's not that there are no such people, it's just that they hide deeper or are more powerful. They speak high-sounding words and look upright, like an old scholar, but behind their backs The fun inside is more expensive than anyone else.

No one from Ange was chasing after him, and no other suspicious people appeared nearby. In addition, Chou Chou had been keeping an eye on Yongning County and Qushui Town, and he didn't notice any movement there, not even it. I also took the time to send an anonymous letter to the Yongan County government office.

The content of the letter was about Qushui Town's request for Ange to kill someone, in order to divert attention there.

Because the group he invited before all died in the hands of Chou Chou. This group was to clean up the people who failed the mission. They didn’t know what mission the people in that team took on, so even if they knew everything, they couldn’t say anything. Nothing was found.

As for the training base where they trained, they only knew that it was deep in the mountains. They had to cover their eyes and ears when entering, so they didn't know where it was exactly.

However, they found out their current identities. After all, as long as the person has not been silenced, there are traces of this person here and can be found.

But what they find is not very useful, because despite their official status, whether they are craftsmen, businessmen or have shops, no one around them knows that they are still doing this business secretly.

They were afraid of bringing danger to their families, so they kept it secret. They didn't usually have many missions, and they would be notified in advance, so they could just find an excuse when they came out.

Generally speaking, even if they are married and have children, they are not said to be farming at home. Most of them do some small business or are escorts, the kind of occupation that can go out at any time, so that when they go out temporarily, they don’t have to talk to their families. People make up excuses.

Of course, this is also for their own good, because they may face a life-or-death situation at any time. If they cannot go back, it is normal to die outside.

After all, it's not peaceful outside. There are many natural and man-made disasters, so it's normal for people to die at any time.

Now that the county government is at a loss because there is no progress, Chou Chou's anonymous letter is almost timely.

Although this letter appeared inexplicably on the county magistrate's desk, it shocked him greatly.

If you can enter his study silently, you must be a master. After all, there are guards and servants in his yard, and he can be in a deserted place. If the other party wants to kill him, wouldn't it be easy?
