Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 34

Qin Dezheng was still calm. Although the 50 taels price was beyond his expectation, it didn't shock him. He thought about it, said "wait a moment" and went out.

Su Xiaopei was a little uneasy, she had no experience in this kind of thing, she always accepted what others offered her, but her career was smooth sailing, and indeed no one ever treated her badly.Now bargaining, but Qin Butou has gone away, she hurried over and whispered "Strong Man", planning to discuss with him the reserve price first, if Qin Butou raises an objection later, the two of them will talk about it unanimous.

But Ran Feize was not in a hurry: "Girl, don't panic, this Ning'an City is not a stone town, the government is very rich, 50 taels, they can afford it. The head catcher is thin-skinned, and the governor is eager to close the case, just 50 taels, Will never refuse."

"Oh." Su Xiaopei sat up straight again.OK, trust him.

Just 50 bites to death and not relaxing.

After a while, Qin Tutou came back.Just as Ran Feize expected, Qin Tutou didn't waste time entangled in money, and agreed without hesitation.Said that if the two criminals can be successfully caught and the case is solved, they will be paid 50 taels.

"What if only one person is caught?" Ran Feize said again, "If one is broken, I will pay half of it, 25 taels."

Qin Butou was taken aback for a moment, but he readily agreed: "Success." He had just discussed with the Fu Yin, and the Fu Yin only wanted to solve the case quickly, and spending money was a trivial matter.

With these words, Ran Feize was satisfied.

Su Xiaopei admired it. Ma Zhengyuan was originally worth five taels, but now he took a detour and changed to 25 taels.It turns out that this is how bargaining is played.

Qin Butou coughed and drew Su Xiaopei's attention back. "Miss Su, we have already set up checkpoints at various gates of the city, and the officials will also step up their search in the city. At the Sima Mansion, just waiting for their news, I also sent people in disguise to keep an eye on the gates of the mansion. Is there any suspicious person waiting to come and go in two days?"

Su Xiaopei nodded.Qin Butou asked: "Miss, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to suggest to Lord Qin that all the reward announcements from Ma Zhengyuan should be disseminated."

"Scattered?" Qin Dezheng was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Young lady, don't worry, the rewards for the young lady and Zhuang Zhuang Ran have nothing to do with this announcement. No matter whether others provide clues to arrest the murderer, as long as the criminal is caught, the young lady and Zhuang Zhuang Ran will get it." Reward silver."

Su Xiaopei was also stunned, where did he think?She smiled, the thinking direction of the head catcher was really taken away by Ran Feize.

"My lord, distributing notices has nothing to do with rewarding money. Ma Zhengyuan, after his mother remarried, no longer received care and attention. He has an embarrassing status in his stepfather's family. His other brothers and sisters look down on him, and the servants are also negligent and disrespectful to him. Later, he fell in love with his younger sister Ma Yao, who was the only person in the family who expressed concern for him, but this relationship was unlikely to bear fruit. Under pressure, Ma Yao took the initiative to ask him to become a nun in order to make him give up. So far, Ma Zhengyuan's spirit The world fell apart."

At this time Ran Feize coughed twice, Su Xiaopei came to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "I mean, Ma Zhengyuan has never been cared for, and no one cares about him in his heart. He finally had a hope, but it was shattered. He He will never get what he wants, and at this moment he intends to take revenge. Police officer Bai quickly said that when Ma Zhengyuan went to see Ma Yao for the last time, he said 'you wait', and then he started committing crimes in various cities."

Qin Dezheng nodded, he knew all this.

Su Xiaopei went on to say: "After he committed the crime, everyone was terrified and talked about it, and he was satisfied all of a sudden. The woman he couldn't get, got it in this way, and he punished her. He was bullied before, but now people People are afraid of him, but he is full of self-confidence. That's why the government made a reward notice and posted it everywhere, and he dared to continue to commit crimes. This is what he wants. The more public this matter is, the better, and the more everyone fears him, the better. It is helping him to spread the word and encouraging him. Therefore, the notice of reward must be spread from every city."

Qin Dezheng never thought of this level, he frowned and thought deeply.

Su Xiaopei continued: "Miss Sima's case, the murderer wanted to blame Ma Zhengyuan, and his intention was very obvious. Logically, if the government finds that Ma Zhengyuan did it, then the government should increase the reward for Ma Zhengyuan's arrest, but the government didn't , In turn, Ma Zhengyuan's reward order was released. If the murderer hid it well and got information from Sima's mansion, it would be fine if he knew that the government did not suspect Ma Zhengyuan, but if he didn't know, then the government's move It will make him suspicious and stimulate him, and once he makes a move and shows his feet, it will be easier for us to find him."

Qin Dezheng thought it was reasonable.He said: "Master Fu Yin instructed Master Sima not to reveal the details of the case. Today we were discussing in the hall of Sima Mansion, and we did not let the servants approach. This matter should be hidden from the outside world. If we declare that the murderer is Ma Zhengyuan, so what if the murderer relaxes his vigilance? In this way, it may be easier for him to show his feet."

"If my lord wants the real murderer to relax his vigilance, he must publicize that the murderer is Ma Zhengyuan. If the news reaches Ma Zhengyuan's ears, it will irritate him. His aura, I mean, the most important thing to him, is the most important thing for him. Someone else took it. Someone is impersonating him, someone is robbing his honor, and in order to prove himself, he may use more drastic means to prove, look, this is me, I am unique."

At this time Ran Feize interjected: "According to what the girl said, if Ma Zhengyuan feels that he is not being noticed if the reward is announced, will he do something more outrageous to attract attention?"

Su Xiaopei nodded: "So your lord not only has to issue a reward order, but also has to issue a sealing order. Just say that Ma Zhengyuan's case is a confidential matter and cannot be discussed again. Once discovered, it will be punished as a felony." After she finished speaking, she frowned, not knowing Is free speech protected here?

She looked at Ran Feize, and Ran Feize nodded, indicating that this is feasible, and it seems that people who talk nonsense are really caught.

Ran Feize said to Qin Dezheng: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to just have an order. Send some people to perform a play to make this matter a fact. Let the officials have a drink in the restaurant and discuss the matter. When it comes to this case, they will keep silent It seems to be intentional or unintentional. My lord has a strict order to let the people around me know. The peddler talks to ordinary people and spreads the story. Only in this way will Ma Zhengyuan know that no matter what he does, his story will never be spread again. .”

Qin De was looking at Su Xiaopei.Su Xiaopei nodded: "Ran Zhuangshi is right." In the era without media, this is the only way to go.

"Then Ma Zhengyuan sees that no one talks about him, what will happen?"

"My lord, please send more people to Zecheng." Su Xiaopei said.Bai Yulang told her that after finding out about Ma Zhengyuan's family, he notified the local government to keep them under strict surveillance. In Su Xiaopei's opinion, the government had to pay more attention to this step.

"You mean he's going home?"

"In fact, he will come to this point after all. Even if we don't do these things, he will definitely go back in the end. It's just a matter of time. What he wants to deter and take revenge the most is not these things he doesn't know or don't matter People, the satisfaction they get from strangers is only temporary. He will eventually find that these are not enough. What he wants to see most is that those who have really hurt him and caused him pain are as fearful as those victims in front of him. , begging." Su Xiaopei said: "My lord, what we have done is to advance this step. No one discusses his affairs anymore, he is no longer famous, and no one helps him to spread his prestige back, so he has to do it himself. gone."

Qin De was thinking hard, and finally murmured to himself: "The cities where he committed crimes really revolve around Zecheng. The reward order was also posted in Zecheng."

Su Xiaopei didn't interrupt to disturb him, Qin Dezheng thought about it for a long time, finally raised his eyes, and said loudly: "Okay, that's it, just listen to Miss Su, do this first!"

The three of them discussed some more details, and then Qin Dezheng invited Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize to the next door, which was separated from his room for discussion.Then he called in a few cronies and capable generals, discussed the matter with them himself, and made arrangements according to what Su Xiaopei said.

Everyone was surprised, some were puzzled, and some thought it made sense. The discussion was very lively.Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize were drinking tea while listening to their meeting in the next room.

Ran Feize said: "Although adults need the help of girls, they also need to establish official authority and arrange arrangements. It is more appropriate for adults to make arrangements for themselves."

Su Xiaopei nodded and didn't mind these things.She could hear the lively conversation outside, the arrangement was orderly, and her thoughts had already turned to the other side: "Strong man, 50 taels is a lot, right?"

Ran Feize smiled: "It's quite a lot."

Holding the teacup, he squinted at her and smiled, "15 taels, huh?"

Su Xiaopei blushed.

"Petty." He teased her.

Su Xiaopei hurriedly said: "I don't know, I have no experience. I mean, I have experienced few things, so I should learn more from strong men."

"study?"

"It's time to ask the strong man for advice."

Ran Feize grinned.Su Xiaopei doesn't mind either, 25 taels, thank him.

"Strong man, can you afford a toothbrush for 25 taels?"

"Yazhi? Of course you can afford it." Ran Feize couldn't help laughing again.

At the end of the day, Ran Feize took Su Xiaopei to the market, saying that he wanted to make her greedy.He took her to a laundry specialty store, which had toothbrushes, toothpaste, and toiletries.Of course the name is different from what Su Xiaopei knew, but Su Xiaopei was very happy to see it, this is the goal of life!

Her goal has become so humble, it's really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Su Xiaopei was laughing at himself while calculating the price. This one costs 200 renminbi, that one costs 300 renminbi, this 80 renminbi is cheap, that 150 renminbi does not seem expensive, this one is actually 800 renminbi, which is almost a tael of silver, and that one is [-] liang of silver. Is it a luxury?
Su Xiaopei has no idea about the currency here, and the price has to be turned over in her mind to realize it. It is expensive or cheap, but the things are what she needs. Brushing teeth, washing face, bathing and hair washing, she misses modern toiletries too much up.She looked at it for a long time, and she didn't know what some things were used for, so she was embarrassed to ask. She decided to write down this place, and came here to spend her first ancient money when she got 25 taels of silver.

Strolling out, she saw Ran Feize standing on the side of the street waiting for her.

Ran Feize thought it was embarrassing for her country bumpkin to look at the goods with a surprised face when she came into the city, and he knew that the girl could only look at the goods but not buy them, so he came out first to avoid being looked down upon by the shopkeeper.But this girl is really nice, he can see the shopkeeper's eyes are sharp from the outside, but she just ignores it, and just waits to take a look.Thinking of this, Ran Feize grinned.

Smiling for nothing, Su Xiaopei gave him a white look, and was about to speak, but saw something out of the corner of his eyes.She turned her head and saw Sima Wanru walking out from the gate of a house on the corner of the street.She didn't stay long, walked to the street quickly, and then entered a restaurant on the opposite side. After a while, she came out with several of her teachers and sisters, heading towards Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize.

The two groups of people passed by quickly on the side of the street. Sima Wanru saw that Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei's expressions changed slightly, but she didn't speak, and only left quickly with her teachers and sisters.

"Why is she so guilty?"

Ran Feize didn't answer, but took Su Xiaopei to the house where Sima Wanru came out, passed the gate, and saw the word "Changfu" beside the gate.Ran Feize said: "Miss Sima's fiancé-in-law, is his surname Chang?"

"Yes." Su Xiaopei also thought of it.

"My sister passed away, and my younger sister went to visit her brother-in-law's home. She was disrespectful and disrespectful. She was naturally guilty."

"Isn't that right?"

"It's not good for the daughter's family to show up like this when the two parents are socializing." Ran Feize rubbed his chin, "Isn't the official mansion mentioned about this permanent mansion? I don't know. What's the relationship if you become an in-law?"

Of course Su Xiaopei didn't know the relationship inside.After they returned to the yamen, Ran Feize approached Qin Butou and told him about it. Qin Butou noted down that they had a plan to investigate those who were related to the Sima family.

Nothing happened after that, Su Xiaopei went back to the inn to sort out her diary and think about the case.

It was night, Su Xiaopei had packed up his things and was about to rest when there was a knock on the door.She thought that Ran Feize was looking for something, opened the door and saw that it was Sima Wanru standing outside.

Sima Wanru had a cold face, holding a sword in her hand.
