Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 39
Wen Qian raised her legs to enter the door, and saw a grown man about 20 years old in the yard, dressed in gray clothes, wearing a butcher's gown, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, commanding two thick men to do it. live.

The man in the gray shirt is the second son of Butcher Gou, the second son of Gou.

When he saw Wen Qian by the door, he was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head, and said in a rough voice, "Wen Xiucai, are you here to find my father?"

"No, just passing by." Wen Qian shook her head.

Glancing at the courtyard of Gou's house, he saw that the pork hanging on the stone wall had disappeared, and then his eyes fell on the two rough men with black faces who were red and black because they were scolded by outsiders. The embarrassment of the two was ashamed.

Wen Qian asked Gou Zizi lightly, "Are they...?"

Gou Zizi looked at the two of them with contempt, and said displeasedly: "They came to my house to steal pork the morning before yesterday, and my younger brother found out and arrested Humen and Duobao. They have three meals a day, but it's a pity that these two stupid donkeys can't do this job well, I'm so mad!"

Thinking of McDull who escaped, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger, and he raised the bamboo stick in his hand and was about to throw it at the two of them.

Wen Qian quickly grabbed the other end of the bamboo stick, and looked at Gou Zizi calmly: "Since they are so stupid and difficult to use, it's better to let them pay for it."

After hearing this, Gou Zizi looked at Wen Qian with a cold face, and said sarcastically, "Wen Xiucai, are you stupid in studying, just Humen and Duobao, two idiots from poor families, do you have money to pay?"

Wen Qian looked at Gou Zizi in front of her, with a faint smile in her eyes, her face as usual, and she said in a low voice, "No matter how poor you are, you still have land and a house deed. Why not use this as a mortgage, if you don't pay the money within a certain period of time, just...!"

She didn't say anything later, but gave Gou Zizi a hint with his eyes.

Gou Zizi was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Wen Qian hadn't finished, his eyes lit up: "You mean..."

Seeing that the anger in Gou Zizi's eyes had turned into viciousness and joy, Wen Qian let go of the bamboo stick in her hand and said with a smile, "Yes, that's what you think!"

"Hahaha……"

Gou Zizi laughed, looked at Wen Qian's eyes a lot more friendly, as if he had found a confidant all of a sudden, and sincerely praised: "People who have studied, even if they have two brushes, their brains are smart, I even want to have sex with you Friends!"

Wen Qian's calm face turned slightly cold: friend?She doesn't need friends!
However, this person is very suitable to be a subordinate who obeys orders, only kills pigs... What a shame!

"It's my honor to help Second Brother Gou, farewell!" Wen Qian's eyes flashed, she cupped her hands, turned and left Gou's house.

Come to think of it, Humen and Duobao will be able to come back from Gou's house tonight.

Although these two are stupid, they are better than obedient.

It's worth using!
Wen Qian passed by Ma's house and looked at the closed door.

Suddenly remembering the Maya who first told her about Wen Kun's accident, she lowered her eyes. Didn't this girl always get stuck in front of me in the past to find a sense of existence?
It seems that he didn't see her when he returned to the village this time?Did you give up?

Wen Qian smiled knowingly, the horse girl was able to retreat despite difficulties, and she was also very funny.

Just as he was about to look away, he saw a large bamboo forest not far from his house, and there were some houses on a clearing in the middle of the forest, all built of big stones, but the stone houses were extremely majestic.

Some fragments flashed through Wen Qian's mind. Those stone houses were free schools in the village, and they had been managed by the elders of the Wen clan.

There are many people with the Wen surname, and almost every generation can produce a scholar. The tallest person was awarded the second-class "Jinshi" and spent half his life as an editor in the Imperial Academy. It is counted as a free school in Wenjia Village for the children in the village to read and write.

Generation after generation.

Therefore, most of the villagers in Wenjia Village are literate, and even children have learned a little bit of basics.

The original owner's father is still alive, and every time he returns to the village on holidays, he will teach the children for free in the school of Shishe for a whole day.

After the death of the original owner's father, the school was left idle because there was no scholar with a reputation as a teacher.

Children who were supposed to study continued to grow up like sheep.

Thinking of Yin Yue once said that the original owner's father was not killed by her adoptive father.

Could it be that there is something strange about the death of Wenquangui, an old scholar?

Wen Qian took a deep look at the stone house, then turned and walked towards a hill to the south.

This hill is a cemetery. People in Wenjia Village will be buried in this hill after they die. Wen's ancestral temple is built on the top of the hill.

The people buried inside are all members of the Wen clan. The higher the status, the higher the supply ranking, and the tombs are different.

Ordinary Wen clan members are simple and clear piles of loess, with inscriptions made of random wooden signs.

Members of the Wen clan who have the reputation of being a scholar are majestic stone tombs, with sandalwood over a hundred years old as inscriptions.

Standing in front of a stone tablet, she looked at the majestic inscription engraved with the tomb of Hot Spring Gui on the inscription, she lowered her eyes and bowed three times.

"Xianlong!"

Wen Qian suddenly felt a pain in her head, and an impactful residual fragment kept flickering in her consciousness, and finally the picture stopped at the moment when the hot spring was exhausted.

In the picture: Hot Spring Gui on the sickbed is pale, his hair is yellow and white, he has lost the noble temperament of the elegant and scholarly gentleman in the past, and only the old hero is left.

His once clear eyes became cloudy and confused, and his speech was accompanied by a severe cough, and Mrs. Jiang who was beside him served him attentively and thoughtfully.

When Wenquangui looked up and saw the indifferent Wen Gan standing beside the bed, his bewildered eyes suddenly became focused, his face flashed with a slight struggle, and he uttered a sentence with difficulty: "Ganer, you are not your mother." My son, remember that you are not your mother's son, so beware of your mother, your mother...she...cough cough..."

Hot Spring Gui was agitated, and coughed fiercely again. The indifferent Wen Gan turned pale with fright, and stepped forward to support Hot Spring Gui on the bed: "Father, don't get excited, I'm fine, I will definitely find relief for you." medicine!"

"No...it's useless." Onsen said while shaking his head, and when he opened his mouth again, a little blood was already overflowing from his mouth.

He seemed to have thought of something terrible, held Wen Gan's hand tightly, and said: "Agan, you must remember that you are not your mother's son, you are not her son, I mistrusted her , she didn't..."

Without saying a word, Hot Spring Gui reluctantly swallowed his last breath.

Mrs. Jiang entered the room with a bowl of steaming medicine. Seeing such a scene, she was so frightened that the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground and made a "bang bang" sound.

Wen Gan cast a cold glance at Mrs. Jiang, then turned his gaze to Hot Spring Gui who was lying on the bed with his eyes open. He touched his eyelids with his own hands, and murmured softly.

"Father, don't worry, I know that I am not Jiang's son, so I will definitely guard against this stepmother. If I had known that I had passed the exam as a scholar, I would have attracted the attention of the lord, and even made people play a chronic drama on you." Poison, I will definitely not expose myself so early.

Father, I will not let the person who killed you go, one day I will swing the Ping'anyang Tower, escort that master to your grave, and confess to you, you may rest in peace! "

"Ah Gui, Ah Gui..." Jiang fell down on the bed in grief...

The screen disappears.

After a while, Wen Qian completely calmed down.

Thinking of the memory fragments that just poured in, she was like a soul body, as if she was actually there.

What does Hot Spring Gui's last words mean?
The original owner was not Jiang's son in the first place, so he emphasized that he was worried that the original owner would be deceived by Jiang's false nurturing grace?
He mistrusted Jiang Shi?Does it mean that Mrs. Jiang is duplicity?
But Wen Qian has been here for ten days and nearly half a month, and she didn't find anything wrong with Mrs. Jiang?Could it be that Jiang's morality is too high, and he himself didn't see the clue?
What is that unfinished last sentence? "She didn't..." Nothing?
Didn't show sincerity to the original owner?Still not sincere to Wen Jia?
Wen Qian was a little confused, and then thought of what the original owner said.

Wenquangui died of poisoning, remembering that Yin Yue once said that the original owner's father was not her adoptive father, it turned out to be the owner of Anyang Tower.

The reason for the poisoning was that Wen Gan passed the imperial examination and was admitted as a scholar?
But if so, shouldn't it be a good thing?
In this way, it is easier for Wen Gan to hide the identity of the killer and seek benefits for the owner of Anyang Building. How could he let his father lose his life?
Wen Qian's complexion changed again and again, she just felt that the hot spring was so expensive, it was very strange, it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Now these mysteries and hatred have fallen on her, and she will settle the matter to the end.
