Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 214 Suspect Object

"Adan, you are back. The betrothal gift from the Sun family to my sister was stolen! The 2000 taels of cash and a box of gold, silver and jewelry were all stolen, and not even a tael of silver was left behind!" Xue girl ran away. He came over and grabbed her hand, his eyes full of worry.

"How did this happen? When did you lose it?" Ye Qiongdan's heart tightened.

"On the night after you left," Xue Yatou took her to the main room, then turned her head and glanced at Xu Mingzhu. It was the first time she saw Ye Qiongdan bringing guests back, so she asked in surprise, " Who is this girl?"

"Oh, she is Commander Xu's daughter, Xu Mingzhu who is married to Jinlan with me."

As soon as she heard that Miss Xu was coming, You Yue'e, who was crying non-stop in the room, immediately stopped crying, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, lowered her head awkwardly, and blinked pettishly. Eye.

"I met Miss Xu." Everyone in the room saluted Xu Mingzhu one after another.

"You're welcome," Xu Mingzhu waved her hand briskly, "Qiong Dan and I are sisters of Jinlan who are married to each other, so you can be regarded as my own relatives! Did you lose something at home? Tell me about the specific situation. I will vent my anger on you!"

You Yue'e became happy, twisted her handkerchief, and laughed through her tears: "Then...how can you be so embarrassing?"

"Speak!" Xu Mingzhu looked at everyone.

You Yue'e eagerly opened her mouth to speak, but she swallowed the words again.

She was afraid that the vulgar words she said would offend the distinguished guest.

Such a young lady should let her three daughters make friends more, she can't talk nonsense.

In the end, it was Xueyatou who said: "That night, there were only my father, my mother, Brother Qingyu and Auntie in the house. Haiyatou and I had already returned to town. That night was calm and everyone slept soundly. The next morning, when my mother woke up, she found that the 2000 taels of silver and a box of gold, silver and jewelry had all been lost! Then, my mother found half of the burned incense at the door."

Maiden Xue went back to the house and took out a handkerchief. As soon as she unfolded the handkerchief, Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu immediately came over.

Xu Mingzhu picked up the half-burned incense and observed it for a while, then sniffed it again. She frowned and said with certainty: "I've seen this incense before!"

"Where did you see it?" Snow girl asked quickly.

"In the brothel," Xu Mingzhu's ears felt a little hot when he said this, "When my brother was 14 years old, some women in the camp hooked him up to the brothel to find sex, and I found out. I led a group of servants into the brothel, and in the room of my younger brother and that oiran, this kind of incense was burning. Just because...just because..."

Speaking of this, Xu Mingzhu's neck was red, and she said with shame and embarrassment: "Just because my brother refused to die, that shameless woman stunned him with incense, thinking...thinking like that... "

"The brothel? Could it be Piaoxu?" Ye Qiongdan said subconsciously.

"It's her! It must be that rascal!" You Yue'e scolded angrily, "What good can a woman who comes out of a brothel be? Pooh! It's fine if you don't have a clean body! You don't even have claws! net……"

Hai Yatou stepped forward, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Mother, there is a distinguished guest here."

You Yue'e quickly closed her mouth, laughed a few times, racked her brains and began to choose words and sentences: "I made the distinguished guests laugh, the little lady has never read a book, can't speak, and the obscene words she uttered dirty the distinguished guests." ears."

"It's okay." Xu Mingzhu endured the discomfort in her heart, and smiled politely, "Is everyone suspicious?"

"In Shanghe Village, only Ye Fengxian's concubine used to be a brothel woman. She is the most suspected," Ye Qiongdan said after considering, "However, it is not ruled out that someone else committed the crime. After all, brothel fans are not hard to get. Things, those peddlers in the town who sell Dali pills, rat poison, rejuvenation pills, etc., can sometimes get Mixiang that is used to harm people. Maybe others are jealous and stole our things?"

"Others would have stolen it long ago, so why wait until today? Besides, what is the identity of our third-bedroom girl Dan? Don't people in these ten miles and eight villages know? Do you dare to provoke me?" You Yue'e couldn't help shouting again I got up, "I think it was that bastard who stole it! Except for the people in Dafang, who would be so bold? No one is afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell and being tortured!"

Hai Yatou coughed, and You Yue'e had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

"If you really want to commit a crime, you need accomplices," Ye Qiongdan continued to analyze, "The 2000 taels of silver and a box of gold, silver and jewelry are very heavy, and it is difficult for four people to carry a box. Have you asked the villagers? These days Are there any outsiders coming in and out of the village?"

"I asked," Hai girl said, "the villagers said they didn't see it. Maybe the thieves acted cautiously and entered the village at night. After the incident, we also reported it to the government, and the government sent people to investigate , However, no clues were found."

After the accident, everyone worried that if they told Ye Qiongdan who was treating the plague far away in Luoshan Town, it would be detrimental to her treatment of the plague if she was distracted, so they didn't go to Liujia Village to tell her about it.

After reporting the case, Hai Yatou also asked the county magistrate not to tell Ye Qiongdan about it.

The county magistrate naturally knew that solving the plague was more important, so he nodded in agreement.

"Every household in the village has been searched? Have you checked the pawn shop in Qinghe County? Has anyone pawned a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry? Has the bank asked? Has anyone deposited a large amount of cash?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

"The yamen servants have already searched the village to the bottom. My father followed them to the pawnshops and banks in Qinghe County to check. No one went to the pawnshops or banks to sell the stolen goods." Hai girl continued.

"Then, there are only two possibilities." Ye Qiongdan touched his chin with his hand, "Either, the stolen money was hidden; or, they transported the stolen money to other places and sold it. If the stolen money was hidden, then naturally It's easy to find; if the stolen money is transported to other places to sell the stolen goods, you only need to expand the scope of the investigation. It seems that you have to ask the Lord Sheriff again. If the Lord Sheriff speaks, the other counties in Yiling County The county magistrate will naturally arrange for his subordinates to investigate the matter with all their heart."

"Let's ask Piaoxu first, maybe this matter is really related to Piaoxu?" Xue girl said, "Even if the big house refuses to admit it, I can guess one or two from their attitudes. ah!"

"Okay, then ask Piaoxu first." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

"Let's go together." Everyone said one after another.

After leaving the house, on the way to the Ye family's old house, the group met many villagers.

"Hey, girl Dan? Did you win the lawsuit? How did you decide it?" Aunt Wang asked.

"We won!" Ye Qiongdan greeted, "Sentence him to prison for three years!"

The villagers smiled when they heard this.

"Three years? Good sentence! Good sentence!"

"I don't think the sentence is good! He should be sentenced to ten years! Girl Dan, Miss Xu, you have really done a great deed for Shanghe Village!"

"Yeah! Finally, I don't need to worry about going out! I am relieved! Speaking of it, this incident also made me understand a truth clearly, which is called good and evil will be rewarded in the end." , The way of heaven is reincarnation, if you don’t believe me, look up, who will the heavens spare! In the past, Dafang bullied you so much, but now, you have finally tasted the bitter fruit!"

……

"Where is it?" Ye Qiongdan cupped his hands towards them.

The villagers shouted again: "Thank you Dan girl, thank you Miss Xu!"

Xu Mingzhu happily held Ye Qiongdan's arm amidst the sound of thanks, "Qiongdan, sure enough, it's much more interesting to be by your side! Being able to help these villagers really gives me a sense of accomplishment!"

After a while, a group of people arrived at the Ye family's old house.

When the villagers saw that the second, third and silly fourth families had all come to the Ye family's old house, they expected that there must be another great show today, so they all gathered outside the Ye family's old house.

Ye Qiongdan knocked on the door, and Mrs. Ye opened the door. When she saw her, her face turned cold and she snorted coldly.

She didn't dare to fight this girl, but she still dared to show her face!
"Grandma, I'm looking for uncle." Ye Qiongdan looked into the yard.

"Your uncle is lying on the bed and studying." Mrs. Ye said eccentrically. For this eldest son who has no filial piety to the old man, and even cruelly gnaws at him, she has been worn out and has no good temper now.

Her eldest son is not her child, he is clearly her deadly enemy!

But she scolded and scolded every day, Ye Fengxian has a thick skin and can bear it!
"Uncle! Come out, I have something to ask you!" Ye Qiongdan shouted loudly.

"What are you shouting for? I don't see you!" Ye Feng, who was lying in the room, turned over first, turned over the fire avoidance map in his hand, and said impatiently, "If you want money, go to the government! We don't have any money here. The silver you're looking for!"

"Uncle, I'll just ask you a few words, come out!" Ye Qiongdan said patiently.

"Don't come out! There is nothing to say between me and you!" Ye Fengxian said bluntly.

"If you don't come out, I'll whip you out with a whip!" Xu Mingzhu untied a whip from her waist and raised her eyebrows, "Since I was a child, no one dared to be rude to me, Xu Mingzhu! My mother said, anyone who dares to disrespect me in Yiling County, let me fight! My father is a third-rank military officer, so he is not afraid of trouble!"

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xu Mingzhu has shown her prestige in front of outsiders. She usually stays in the army and works with the officers and soldiers of the Commander of the Guards every day. .

For ordinary people, she has always disdained bullying, but because Ye Jigang, who is as tough as a hedgehog, disgusted her a lot, she even hated Ye Jigang's father, Ye Fengxian. She believed that like a son, like a father!
When Ye Fengxian heard that Commander Xu's daughter was coming, he immediately trembled in fright, hid the fire-avoiding map under the quilt, put on his shoes and came out in a hurry, and said flatteringly: "I don't know if Miss Xu is here. , It’s really a long way to go, a long way to go.”

"What? Is my good sister still not going to invite you?" Xu Mingzhu asked, crossing her arms.

"Please move! Please move! It's just that I caught the wind and cold last night, and today I'm a bit confused with the fever. I didn't realize that my little niece has arrived." Ye Fengxian quickly explained with a smile.

"Okay, I don't want your explanation," Xu Mingzhu waved his hand, "Tell me, where is your little concubine Piaoxu? She called her out for questioning!"

"She...she..." Ye Fengxian became embarrassed, his eyeballs rolled around.
