She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 57 Interview 3
There is no more news in the village. Even if I robbed Li Tuhu's house, I couldn't get more things. In the room that originally belonged to Li Fan and his younger brother, there was writing on the wooden table. Traces, crooked.

Obviously, this is not the handwriting of an orthodox educated person.

I also know that the family background of the Li family may be stronger than most other families in the same village, but it is not enough to support their children to study.

What's more, Shao Fan is just a stepson, no matter how selfless Li Tuhu is, he will not bypass his own son to support him in studying.

Therefore, this was probably written by one of the two brothers who secretly went to school to listen to the class.

It cannot be said that the group of people learned nothing, but they did not get much useful information. They returned to Zhu Sanlang's house again.

Looking at the local products piled up for half a room, the spies were quite helpless. They didn't do their business well, but purchased a lot for the restaurant.

Zhu Sanlang listened to the sound of beating the baby next door, and listened to another couple's chatting with flirtatious words, and suddenly he was enlightened and had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out:

"You say, is this Shao Fan really the son of Commander Shao?"

What shocked him were the expressionless faces: Why are you so crazy?If he is not a son of the Shao family, why would the Shao family take him back?Do good deeds.

Zhu Sanlang used scissors to cut off the candle flowers. The dim firelight jumped a few times and then brightened again. Others could more clearly see the excitement, curiosity, and mystery on Zhu Sanlang's face...

Zhu Sanlang is indeed very interested in this kind of thing, and even when making speculations, his mind turns quickly:

"No, you think about it, think about this. The Shao brothers have very different attitudes towards this child. Commander Shao, I don't know much about him, but if he can achieve that position, he shouldn't be too soft-hearted. Human, right? Maybe he can't complain about his eldest brother, but why should he care so much about his unborn nephew? Can he survive even if he is missing on the battlefield? You write a letter asking if your nephew is alive, don't you think? …”

This was horrifying to think about. They understood Zhu Sanlang's hint, which meant that Shao Fan was Commander Shao's son.

Once this kind of violation of human relations is discovered, the Shao family will be over.

Therefore, Agent B was the first to point out the problem:

"If this is his son, and it's too late for him to hide it, how could he carelessly bring Shao Fan into Beijing, isn't he afraid of being discovered?"

Detective A has a different opinion:
"Not necessarily. There are so many smart people in the capital. Everyone thinks that Shao Fan and Commander Shao look alike. But Commander Shao is always good to this nephew, so will they have the same idea as you? Since Commander Shao dares to let him If you show up, you are open and honest.”

"Moreover,"

Agent A glanced at Zhu Sanlang:
"Not everyone can think of this. After all, this kind of thing is too...too abnormal."

Zhu Sanlang thought to himself, these people are probably natives of the capital, and they have a good life, so they have so little experience.

He hadn't heard his grandfather talk about the difficult years, and there were many more unethical ones than this.

Isn't it just that if the family can only afford one daughter-in-law, let her leave seeds for other brothers? This kind of thing is not uncommon in poor families in remote places.

At that time, Commander Shao was about to go to the battlefield and his life or death was unknown. He asked his family to leave a seed for him. How dare the Shao family refuse?
The more Zhu Sanlang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and even the attitude of other members of the Shao family towards Shao Fan's mother could be explained.

He urged the spy to spy on Jia:

"Yes or no, wouldn't we know by looking up Shao Fan's date of birth? She was ten months pregnant. If we push it forward ten months and Commander Shao has not left home, then it will be more likely."

Detective A agreed perfunctorily, but he looked at Zhu Sanlang with admiration in his heart.

He brought more than a dozen people, of course not all of them accompanied Zhu Sanlang to the mountains and countryside to inquire about the news on the surface.

Part of it is indeed to check the registration information at the county government, and part of it is to inquire about the strangers who have lived in Shangwu County in the past six months——

Pei Peng suspected that if someone took advantage of Shao Cangman, they would definitely come to his hometown in advance to find out what they could find.

The spies are very familiar with these conventional investigative methods, but Zhu Sanlang, who has been playing with knives and rolling pins in the kitchen all year round, can actually think of this.

It's really worth cultivating...

Zhu Sanlang didn't know what other people thought, let alone asked about their itinerary for the next few days. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he began to visit relatives and friends for the whole family non-stop.

His grandfather's brothers and sisters, his grandmother's brothers and sisters, his mother's brothers and sisters... Xie's family is located in every corner of the county, including various villages.

He ran around and around, his legs were getting thin, but he also heard more about the Shao family.

Although these rumors are somewhat distorted because they are not in the same village, they can be pieced together and some useful information can be obtained.

Among them was the village where his aunt married. One of them was conscripted as a temporary yamen servant for a while when he was young because of the lack of manpower in the county yamen.

That year was the year when Shangwu County was assigned a conscription quota, and this person happened to be assigned the task of Erdaowa Village. He lived in the village chief's house for nearly seven or eight days before the quota was calculated.

And of course he still remembered Shao Cangman.

On the one hand, the Shao family's partiality is too obvious. The second child is three years younger than the elder, one is white and fat, and the other is skinny.Moreover, the eldest son got married two years ago, and the second son is still a few months away from becoming a young man, but he is about to be sent to the battlefield.

On the other hand, Shao Cangman was the only one among the group of boys pushed out by his family to serve as soldiers in that village, who expressed his willingness to resist, although he gave in three days later.

The most important thing is that Shao Cangman's rise is so legendary in the eyes of the villagers that over time, it will be difficult for him to forget such a person.

This seems to further support Zhu Sanlang's guess.

On the sixth day in Shangwu County, Agent A finally gave Zhu Sanlang the right words:
"The matter is almost done, we will set off back to Beijing tomorrow."
