The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Chapter 29 Why is he a master at stealing money?

Jiang Wenyu ignored it and continued:
"Mother Wang, she must be you and your sister's wet nurse. She probably saw you committing the crime and killed Lin Ran to prevent Lin Ran from identifying you."

Huaying bit her lower lip.

"Zhang Jian and Grandma Wang have deep feelings for you. They are willing to give up their official careers for you, kill people for you, and take the blame for you."

"Evidence..."

Jiang Wenyu grabbed Huaying's wrist with one hand, pulled away the gauze with the other, and locked his eyes on the bite marks on his hand.

"When Lin Ran saw Lin Qu dead, he screamed in horror. To prevent him from making a sound, you covered him with your hands. You must have been bitten."

"A child is naughty and can bite, what's so surprising?!" Huaying argued loudly.

"That's right." Jiang Wenyu let go of his hand and spread his hands as if surrendering, "Then I have no evidence."

Huaying was startled by the tone of her voice.

"Zhang Jian has recognized the physical evidence, and all the witnesses have been eliminated." Jiang Wenyu said, "Now that there is no corroborating evidence, what else can I say?"

Huaying's face was still expressionless, but her frown relaxed a little.

Jiang Wenyu brushed his slightly messy hair and said with a smile: "Zhang Jian and Grandma Wang are sincere to you, and that servant whose name I don't know..."

Huaying raised her head suddenly: "What servant?!"

"Ah, don't you know? He is the servant who has been following Zhang Jian. Unfortunately, he is too impatient."

Unexpectedly, Huaying stood up excitedly: "No! No! It's not him! Erlang is innocent! Where is he now!?"

"If you want to know how he is, just answer me a few questions."

Huaying sobbed: "Erlang saved me..."

Jiang Wenyu was not interested in their story.

She asked directly: "How did you get my handwriting, and how did you know that I have medical skills? I should not have offended you."

For a long time, Huaying only said: "I have no enmity or enmity with you."

At that time, when Lin Qu saw Jiang Wenyu, he seemed to see hope of life.

If he knew that she had just studied medicine and had no reputation, he would never let her diagnose and treat her.

Perhaps Huaying and Lin Qu exaggerated Jiang Wenyu's medical skills.

Or Huaying mentioned it to Lin Ju, and Lin Ju suggested to Lin Qu that she should come to see a doctor.

But none of that matters.

Jiang Wenyu said: "Since there is no grievance or enmity, why are you targeting me?"

"no……"

Huaying covered her face and wept, and said tremblingly: "Last month when I returned to Linglong Pavilion, a man gave me a letter. The letter said that my sister was killed by Lin Qu. If you want revenge, just follow the content of the letter. The poison prescription is inside the letter."

Jiang Wenyu: "Who gave you the letter, Master Qi?"

Huaying's eyes were bloodshot: "I don't know..."

Jiang asked Yu: "Where is the letter?"

"Burn it." Huaying took out a ball of stuff and gave it to her, "This is the only thing left."

Jiang Wenyu frowned and took it.

Wrapped in the silk handkerchief is a piece of jade that is as big as a thumb and blood red in color.

Huaying grabbed the hem of her skirt and asked anxiously: "Where is Erlang? Where is Erlang now?!"

Jiang Wenyu's eyes returned to Huaying, and he said coldly: "Dead."

died! !
The painting was as exhausted as mud and collapsed on the ground, shoulders and back were shaking, and tears were flowing like floods.

"I'm sorry, sorry, sorry... I'm really sorry..."

"Lin Qu has great power. He bribes the government and manages the government. What can I do... I can't go to the government office to beat drums and complain, and I can't overturn the case for my sister... let alone kill Lin Qu directly..."

After Jiang Wenyu passed by him, his sympathy had already dissipated.

When the matter was half clear, she put on the curtain and left without looking back.

soon.

A maid ran into the main hall and said shakily: "Husband...Madam, that girl has left the house."

Hearing this, the painter put his hand on the maid's arm, stood up slowly, and looked into the distance calmly with eyes that no longer shed tears.

……

In the past few days, Jiang Wenyu was everywhere in the best jade shops in the capital.

The shopkeeper studied for a moment with a magnifying glass and said with a cautious expression:
"I've never seen it...it doesn't look like a good jade."

"Girl, this jade is broken into pieces like this. I see how pitiful you are. I can pay you a penny and buy it at a high price."

"Thank you, but no need." Jiang Wenyu left without looking back.

After that, she went to other stores and after looking at the jade, she shook her head and said she had never seen it before.When asked why, Jiang Wenyu wanted to go back home.

When passing by a deserted shop, a male voice suddenly came from behind.

"needle girl."

Jiang Wenyu looked around, but there was no one else there.

She turned around and saw the thick-browed shopkeeper of the utensil shop waving.

The shopkeeper said in a rough voice: "Don't look, it's you, Miss Needle!"

"..."

Jiang Wenyu had dealt with him once. She was wearing a veil then and now, but he didn't expect that he could recognize her.

No matter whether you are poor or rich, just talk and praise someone when you meet them.

The shopkeeper praised loudly: "Miss Zhen, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have grown taller!"

Jiang Wenyu: "...Thank you for the compliment. I won't buy anything today."

Seeing that she was about to leave, the shopkeeper hurriedly said:
"I've seen the kind of jade you have!"

Jiang Wenyu looked at him hesitantly for a while, and finally walked into the utensil shop.

The two sat on wooden chairs facing each other.

The shopkeeper coughed lightly and said, "I'm in Zhongling, this shop belongs to me."

"Hello."

"Can you show me the jade?" Zhong Ling asked.

Jiang Wenyu paused.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhong Ling vowed: "Ms. Zhen, please be assured, Zhong will never lie to a girl!"

"I'm not a real girl."

"That is?"

Jiang Wenyu said softly: "I am a fake girl."

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "What a name!"

After Jiang Wenyu thought about it, he took out the jade wrapped in brocade handkerchief and placed it on the table.

Zhong Ling stopped laughing and reached out to take it, but missed.

Jiang Wenyu pushed back, and a pair of clear eyes on the veil looked at him.

"Shopkeeper, let me tell you first, I don't have any money."

She had not forgotten that the last time she bought a silver needle, he praised her first and then spoke loudly.

"Zhong wants to take a look at this jade. He doesn't want the girl's money." Zhong Ling said.

Jiang Wenyu did the opposite, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Take a look, five taels of silver."

Profiteer Zhong Ling: "???"

This girl talks sweetly and crisply, how can she be a master at stealing money!
"Zhen...Miss Jia, don't you want to know the origin of this jade?"

Jiang Wenyu was silent, his almond-shaped eyes like ink curling and smiling.

Zhong Ling reluctantly counter-offered: "Five cents."

Jiang Wenyu moved back a little bit while pressing Yu's hand.

Zhong Ling: "...one or two."

Jiang Wenyu moved a little further.

Zhong Ling: "...Three taels, no more!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kindness. Actually, I don't really want to know."

Jiang Wenyu made a show of getting up and leaving.

Zhong Ling didn't expect that this little girl, who looked so young, could be so good at business and was busy shooting cases.

"Okay! Five taels is five taels!"

Only then did Jiang Wenyu let go.

Zhong Ling picked up the jade through the brocade handkerchief, squinted his eyes, and looked at it with interest.

After a moment, Jiang Wenyu looked at him openly and said, "Where does this thing come from?"

　Zhong Ling: "Miss Needle?"

　　Jiang Wenyu: "I, the fake girl, make money."
