The old servant put the wine and food on the table, Wei Wujian invited Wang Xian to take a seat, and invited Xianyun to take a seat

Xianyun shook his head and ignored him.

"Ignore him," Wang Xian said with a smile, "He doesn't eat alcohol." ”

The two of them drank each other, and after a few cups, Wei Wujian seemed to be emboldened, and said a little cowardly: "Actually, Xiaosheng came to Pujiang this time for Sister Ling." The so-called Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it......"

"It's a pity that I can't be the master......," Wang Xian smiled bitterly, and said that the one who could be the master was standing behind him.

"That is, the marriage needs the orders of the parents." Wei Wuwu nodded and said, "But I have to clear up Sister Ling's misunderstanding of me first, right, brother?" ”

"Who's your brother?" Wang Xian almost sprayed him in the face with a sip of wine.

"My lord, if I marry Sister Ling, won't I be your brother-in-law, aren't you my brother?" Wei Wujian was ashamed to speak.

"Wait a minute, you don't want to be beaten into a pig's head again, so let's talk less about this stubble." Wang Xian felt a chill behind him, obviously Xianyun didn't want others to joke about Lingxiao's marriage. Then he said: "My sister is still young, and it's too early to talk about marriage." ”

"No matter how young you are, you have to be thirteen or fourteen, and I can't do it if I'm not in a hurry." Wei Wuqian hurriedly said: "Brother may not know me, junior brother introduce himself, my family is in Ningbo, and I can be regarded as a famous family and a scholarly ......."

"My sister can't read."

"Uh......" Wei Wujian hurriedly changed his words, "I just want to find someone who can't read."

Wang Xian looked at Xianyun, and if he got it, he wouldn't take it off.

After eating for a while, the yamen is gone. The heart said that I had no tricks, this kid was like a plaster Wang Xiantui said that he had official business in the afternoon, so he returned with Xianyun

Back in Xiya, Xianyun's jade-like face became iron-blue and iron-blue: "With your wisdom, you can completely make him hopeless." ”

"I really can't ......" Wang Xian's argument was powerless, so he had to change his words: "What are you afraid of, who can take advantage of Lingxiao?" Not to be beaten to death by her, that kid is lucky. ”

"Then you don't have to, make fun of my sister!" Xianyun said angrily.

"I'm not kidding." Wang Xian said: "I will do the plan." ”

"Will it be calculated?" Xian Yunxin said, where did you kid get so many crooked intestines?

"Not bad." Wang Xian asked Xianyun: "Do you believe that kid's words?" ”

"I don't believe it." Xianyun shook his head and said: "But according to your instructions, I asked Master Hu's people to check, there is indeed a Wei family in Ningbo Mansion, and there is also a student named Wei Wujian in the mansion school." ”

"These are all things that can be faked, and if people dare to report it, they are not afraid of you to investigate." Wang Xian said in a low voice: "I suspect that this kid is from the Ming Sect. ”

"Mingjiao?"

"When I was rounding up Ming disciples in Fuyang, this kid was there. When I came to Pujiang to take office, the first thing I met was this kid. Now he has simply lived in Pujiang......" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "His whereabouts are too abnormal, there must be demons when abnormal!"

"Your reasoning is always so arbitrary." Xianyun smiled bitterly.

"Think of people in a bad way, and it doesn't hurt you to do anything to yourself." Wang Xian said slowly: "He approached me, and it is estimated that being by my side with you is a purpose." ”

"You mean, he's looking for that guy too?" Xianyun said in surprise.

"I'm guessing." Wang Xianxian said softly: "No matter what, he will obey my orders." I had a fishing plan, but I didn't think about who to bait, and now this guy is here, and that's great......"

The next day, some family members of the missing people reported to Xiya.

The first to come was the wife and children of the woodcutter Tian Wu, who had been missing for the longest time, and they had long since stopped thinking that he would survive. Wang Xian asked them about the situation before and after Tian Wu's disappearance, including who helped him find him, etc., so he issued a document to cancel the household registration and ordered someone to take them to the household to handle it.

After that, family members came one after another, and Wang Xian asked them one by one, but these people said that they were all missing, and they all said that they disappeared without warning, and they were completely ignored. It wasn't until he met the family of the tea merchant Zheng Mai that Wang Xian got some unusual information......

Zheng Mai's eldest son recalled: "My family's tea is basically sold in this county, and my family is the biggest customer. Every year, my father would go to Zhengzhai Town to collect the accounts, but after coming back that year, he was unable to give up, and the year was not good. And said some strange things to me......"

"What?" Wang Xian waved his hand covertly, and Xianyun and Lingxiao monitored both inside and outside the house to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"He said that the Zheng family was about to be destroyed, so I quickly sold the tea plantation and left Pujiang with my family to avoid trouble." Zheng Mai's son said with a pale face: "I asked him what happened, but he didn't say a word, just curled up on the bed, covered with two quilts, and his teeth chattered. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was going to report to the police, and only then could the whole family be saved. Then he shook his head and said no, what about tens of thousands of lives...... He kept repeating these words as if he had lost his mind, and then he got up before dawn on New Year's Day, saying that he was going to the tea garden to release the whip. Who knew that he never came back. ”

"Have you said these things to anyone?" Wang Xian has a good memory, and there is no such record in the Zhilu Dao dossier.

"Nope." Zheng Mai's son shook his head.

"For what?"

"I can't say these words to my family, otherwise people will think that I am also crazy, the Zheng family is the first in Jiangnan under the title of Taizu Qinfeng, and there is no rebellion, how can it be exterminated?" Zheng Mai's son said: "Anyway, the adults are going to close the case, and if I don't say it, I won't have a chance, so I just vomit it as soon as possible." ”

"Well," Wang Xian nodded and said, "After your father disappeared, who did the funeral?" ”

"Naturally, it's my own family." Zheng Mai said: "Although we are a side branch, weddings and funerals are all handled by our own family. ”

"Your father's relics, which they also helped to clean up?"

"I didn't pay attention to this, I guess so." Zheng Mai said uncertainly: "But when you hand it over to me, there is indeed nothing missing." ”

"Okay." Wang Xian nodded and said, "You can go through the formalities." ”

"Master," Zheng Mai stood up, but his feet did not move at all, "You said that my father, is it possible that he was killed?" ”

"Of course it's possible, but if you have this question, why didn't you ask it earlier?" Wang Xian said expressionlessly.

"The uncles and uncles of this family all say that it is impossible." Zheng Mai said: "They said that if someone was killed, could there be no trace of a struggle in the tea garden?" ”

"You don't have to fight in the tea plantation, there is no necessary connection between the two." Wang Xian took back the document and said, "If you want to pursue it, the government will still do its best." ”

Zheng Mai and his son thought for a long time, and their lower lip was about to be bitten, so Fang said dejectedly: "Forget it, don't check, you can do it according to what the uncles and uncles said......"

"Okay." Wang Xian handed him the paperwork again and said, "Go ahead." ”

The last one to arrive was Wu Shaoyuan's relatives, in addition to his old mother, there was also an elegant young woman with a plain and complaining face. Zheng Yan also accompanied his daughter, but the government has official rules, only let the relevant people wait in, so he had to wait outside.

Because it was an interview one by one, Wang Xian met Wu Shaoyuan's mother first. When Wang Xian asked her if she was willing to close the case, she refused to answer with tears in her eyes.

"Old man, why didn't you think about it?" For such a poor old man, Wang Xian has always been patient.

"The old man has thought about it," said the old woman with tears in her eyes, "and close the case." ”

"But who coerced you?" Wang Xian said keenly: "There is no need to worry, say it and the official will make the decision for you." ”

"No one coerced me, but I had already promised my in-laws...... "The old woman wept and said: "My son has joined the Zheng family, and life and death are arranged by his family, and the old body can only obey." As he spoke, he clutched his chest and said, "Idiot, why do you have to join the Zheng family?" Nowadays, even life and death are up to others...... Your mother can't agree if she wants to.

"How could Ling Lang get into trouble?" Wang Xian saw that the old woman's speech and demeanor did not look like she was from a poor family.

"Isn't it a sin?" The old woman burst into tears and said: "In Qingming that year, my son saw the eldest lady of the Zheng family who came out to go out to the Qingqing, and somehow became enchanted, to the point of not eating or drinking. I had no choice but to come to the door to propose marriage, but fortunately, the daughter of the Zheng family chose a son-in-law, not looking at her appearance, not looking at her wealth, but only looking at how this person was. It's just that in the past few years, it is only allowed to be redundant, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. ”

"My wife died early, and with this one son, I naturally don't want him to get into the house, but I see that he doesn't think about tea and dinner every day, and he is getting thinner and thinner. I was afraid that he would have three longs and two shorts, so I had to agree. The old woman continued: "After marriage, my daughter-in-law is reasonable, and I often come to visit the old body with my son, which is comforting......

"What did your son do?" Wang Xian had to interrupt the old man's memories

"My son has been studying since he was a child, and he has taken several exams, but he has not passed the examination...... the old woman sighed.

"What does your family rely on for him to study?" Wang Xian asked again. The reason why he asked this question was because reading was a money-spent livelihood, and orphans and widows could not afford to read.

"My husband left 30 acres of thin land, which was originally enough for my mother and son to eat rent, but it is absolutely impossible to study." Referring to her son's glorious past, the old woman said radiantly: "Later, he sold dozens of acres of land, and I almost broke off relations with him at that time. Who knew that my son relied on this capital to start a business, and the competition became bigger and bigger......" said and pointed out: "There are a few shops in my house on Yaqian Street, and the rent obtained can barely be used for my son to study in addition to living." ”

"What did Shao Yuan's father do in the first place?" Wang Xian nodded and asked again

"My husband was originally the county grain chief." The old woman said: "Later, I was forced to give it to the Zheng family, and then I lived on the thirty acres of thin fields given by the Zheng family......"

"Is there still this relationship?" Wang Xian bowed his head and said: "The old lady has worked hard, please go down to eat tea and rest first." ”

Wait for the old man to go down. The young woman who wore filial piety came in and saluted Wang Xian, but he was stunned.
