Chapter 033: The House of Solidity
Chapter 033: Yin Shi's House.
After returning to the Wen Mansion, Wen Meng couldn't wait to tell Wen Yidao and Yin Wuwu about today's events, and after they listened, they all felt that today's events were so thrilling, and their worship of Hualang was even greater.
And when dusk fell, when the afterglow was shining, in the living room, Wen Yidao looked at Hualang and asked: "There are a few words I want to ask the virtuous nephew, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will not think that I am troublesome." ”
When everyone saw Wen Yidao suddenly say this to Hua Lang, they all became interested, what did Wen Yidao want to ask Hua Lang?
Seeing this, Hua Lang hurriedly replied: "Uncle said there, uncle has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask, and the little nephew knows everything." ”
Wen Yidao nodded slightly, and then asked: "The matter between you and my daughter has been decided, but I don't know what your plans are, is it possible that you want to live like this for the rest of your life, and don't think about making progress?" ”
Hearing Wen Yidao ask himself this question, Hua Lang was also a little confused in his heart, it was indeed not a way to live in Wen Mansion like this, but if he moved out of Lu to live, he really didn't have the money to buy a big mansion for Wen Meng, and now Wen Yidao was thinking about his daughter's future, and he had to think about it to some extent.
Wen Meng saw that Hua Lang's face was a little ugly, so he hurriedly said: "I like the current status quo a lot, I don't want to change, so my father won't force Hua Lang." ”
Wen Yidao frowned, and said: "You are a woman, it's okay to maintain the status quo, Hualang is a dignified man, you always have to do something, so can you do nothing every day?" ”
Wen Meng wanted to say something else, Hua Lang hurriedly said: "What my uncle said is very true, you leave Wen Meng to me to take care of, I naturally want to plan for her future, originally in the next scholar, the imperial examination is the right way, but before my father died, he repeatedly warned me that if I can't pass the imperial examination, I can't enter the officialdom in other ways in this life, and there is no hope in the next imperial examination, and it is impossible to become an official." ”
After listening to Hua Lang's words, Wen Yidao couldn't help but sigh, originally, he thought that Hua Lang was a scholar, went to take the Jinshi exam, and then waited for the court to assign an official position to become a court official, which was also considered promising, so he married his daughter to him, but now Hua Lang has no intention of career, but he is very disappointed.
"If you don't become an official, what do you want to do?" Wen Yidao still refused to give up, and then continued to ask.
Hua Lang thought for a moment and said, "The little nephew has some experience in detecting and solving cases, so he wants to be a private detective to collect commissions to support the whole family." ”
When everyone heard the word private detective for the first time, they all felt very novel, and Wen Yidao hurriedly asked, "What is a private detective?" ”
Hua Lang didn't want to explain too clearly, because the explanation was too clear, but it made them misunderstand, he thought about it a little, and quickly replied: "Private detectives, it is to help others solve difficulties that cannot be solved, and most of these difficulties are cases or something, after I help them solve the difficulties, I will collect a certain fee." ”
This explanation is very clear and clear, but after listening to it, everyone feels that it is not very reliable, Wen Yidao thought about it carefully, and said: "In life, you will indeed encounter all kinds of difficulties, but are they willing to ask you for help, if it is a big murder case and dispute, they will go to the yamen to complain, do you do not have much market?" ”
After listening to Wen Yidao's words, Hua Lang smiled slightly and said: "Uncle analyzed it well, but in life, many people don't like to deal with the government very much, and there are some difficulties that the government can't do, for example, the difficulties that my uncle encountered a few days ago, have you ever thought of going to the government?" ”
Being asked by Hua Lang like this, Wen Yidao also felt that there was some truth, some things could not be made public, but they had to be solved, so they had to ask for private help, but he still had a question.
"But who's going to ask you for help, people here haven't heard of private detectives?"
Hua Lang smiled faintly and said, "That's right, it's really hard to be a private detective, but when I make a name, everything will be logical, and at that time, I'm afraid I will need the help of Brother Yin." ”
Seeing that Hua Lang looked up to him so much, Yin Wuxian said with a smile: "Brother Hua, if you need to say anything, just say it directly." When Yin Wuxian said this, he secretly glanced at Hua Wan'er, and after seeing Hua Wan'er's beautiful face, he was even more sure that he must have a good relationship with Hua Lang.
Seeing that Hua Lang had his own plans, Wen Yidao no longer asked, what matters to a young man is what kind of dreams and ambitions he has, not how unreliable his dreams and ambitions are.
After saying nothing all night, early the next morning, Hua Lang invited Yin Wuxian Wen and the two to accompany him to the county government to see Bao Zheng's case.
Wen Meng was indeed very interested in the suburban murder case, but she didn't understand why Hua Lang was so concerned, so she asked, "Are you worried that Brother Bao won't be able to solve this case?" ”
Hua Lang smiled lightly and said: "Bao Zheng will definitely be able to solve this case, but with my help, it may be faster, and I have helped a lot to make a name for myself, and then I will have a business to take." ”
Fame is very important, Wen Meng nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
After coming to the county office, because Bao Zheng didn't treat Hualang and Wen Meng as outsiders, he hurriedly told them about their investigation.
"The identity of the deceased has been ascertained, it is Dong Chengdong, the boss of the rice grain store in the east of the city, and I have already asked his wife to come for questioning, and I will be there in a short time."
Hua Lang nodded slightly, the person who does the rice grain business must be a solid family, and it is normal to have more than a thousand taels of silver on him, and now if he wants to know more clues about the Dao, he can only wait for Mrs. Dong to come.
Not much to say, the two officials led a blessed, plump, but very charming middle-aged woman to the county office, the corners of the woman's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, after she came to the county office, she cried and shouted to see her husband, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and others saw this, and knew that this woman was Dong Cheng's wife.
However, for the sake of prudence, Bao Zheng still sent a servant to lead her to identify the corpse, and then questioned her after it was truly confirmed.
And when one of the officials led Mrs. Dong to identify the body, another official came to Bao Zheng half puzzled, and said: "My lord, the little one has discovered something, I don't know if I should say it?" ”
Bao Zheng's eyes widened, and he said, "I have something to say." ”
When the official received the order, he hurriedly said, "When I went down to call the woman, I found a man fleeing through the back door of her house, and he was disheveled. ”
After the official finished speaking, everyone was shocked and silent.
