As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 28 Disarm and Surrender

Chapter 28 Disarm and Surrender
"Master, go to the front and ask the watchman to see if there is anything unusual at night. Go to the county magistrate's mansion, or the homes of other food deliverers, and ask if Su San has any problems with these people on weekdays." Zhang Xuan saw Not far from Drum Tower Road.

Many small officials who were on the watch were hiding in the Drum Tower during the day. It was only an alley away from the county magistrate Xu's house, and Zhang Xuan was not afraid that the two of them would be lost.

Now there is nothing to do, there are really not many clues, and we can only find out a little bit.

Fang Wu nodded, followed the back door into the county magistrate's mansion, and found a girl in the mansion.

This girl is in charge of the kitchen on weekdays. Vegetables and meat are all inspected by her before entering the mansion.

"Do you know that there was a person named Su San who came to deliver food before. Have you ever met?" Fang Wu asked.

As he spoke, he wanted to unfurl the portrait of Su San that the Zhou Xue Yamen servant had brought over just now.

Just didn't want to, the girl didn't even look at it and said: "No, I just came here too. I used to serve Hua'er in the backyard."

Fang Wu was cold, why did the youngest Su have an accident, and the kitchen at the county magistrate's mansion was replaced.Could it be that the county magistrate has something to do with the loss of the horse?

Fang Wu strangled those thoughts fiercely in his heart and said, "About how long it's been here. Where is the original person?"

The girl said: "I don't dare to ask more, the girls in this kitchen are all serving the flowers in the same way as I used to be, and it has been more than a month."

"Do you change people often?" Xia Wu felt that this was wrong, and it must be wrong.Wherever there is a mistake—everyone in the kitchen makes mistakes, it is obvious that something is pressing down.

"No, it's just that there have been too many exchanges recently." The girl thought for a while.

Fang Wu looked around and asked: "Then who do you deal with in your house on weekdays?"

"I'm a servant, how can I know about the master's affairs." The girl shook her head and hurried over.

Fang Wu asked others again, and the information he got was similar.The girls in the county magistrate's mansion were all afraid of things, and they were all wise and safe. None of them wanted to contact Fang Wu alone, and most of them would leave after a few words.

After coming out to find Zhang Xuan, Fang Wu told him about the matter and asked back: "Do you want to come and ask, will the original one be sent out and resold?"

Most of the servants in the mansions are sold to other places after going through human teeth.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and snorted coldly: "If it really has anything to do with it, it would be strange to find it. I think it's better to try my luck in this city, maybe I can find out where the people of the Su family have moved."

Fang Wu said: "Then it depends on when to go. Has this county magistrate Xu been an official in Zhouxue? How is the official voice?"

"It's very good. The people of Zhouxue have always praised him greatly. He was re-elected in the last term." Zhang Xuan said indifferently.

"You know a lot of people, you still have to find a way to find those servants who have been replaced."

"You are a person who can really give people problems."

"Although these people may not really have problems, but this is our only direction. And, if we really can't find them, doesn't it mean that the county magistrate Xu is not simple."

"Can this case be solved because of a few servants who have been dismissed? This magistrate Xu has contacts with many officials in the state. It is possible to send people to them at once. After all, many officials are You like to eat something fresh, don’t you?”

Sending off the cook is also an opportunity for Daman officials to make friends in private.

There are very few officials in Daman who can serve as officials in the place where they grew up like Zhang Ji, so eating a bite of hometown food or finding an appetizing seasonal dish is also a great hobby of many Daman officials.

Fang Wu felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell for a while.She knew that Zhang Xuan would not make mistakes in this regard. He often travels among common people and officials, so he knows exactly what the various forces pay attention to.

While talking, the two headed towards the city gate, wondering if Ji Xuan could find some new clues...

Turning into the city gate, I saw Ji Xuan holding a few booklets, leaning against the city gate as if falling asleep, but seeing the water glass firmly held in the palm of his hand, Fang Wu knew it was just a false sleep .

"master."

"Well, nothing was found in the county office, everything is normal. What about you?" Ji Xuan closed his eyes and returned the water glass to the vendor.

"No,……"

Fang Wu said casually.After thinking about it, I decided to tell Ji Xuan about the change of girl in the kitchen of the magistrate Xu's mansion.

Ji Xuan nodded to show that she knew, but she didn't say anything.

Indeed, there is really no connection between the two things. After all, a county magistrate would not replace a kitchen worker just because of Su San. Isn't this just a matter of detection?

But if not, then why change the cook again?Could it be that there are other reasons?

As for giving it to other officials for the time being, Ji Xuan neither agrees nor opposes it.Is there really such a coincidence?
After entering the city gate, the three parted again.

In the past few days, under Ji Xuan's repeated reminders, Fang Wu finally surrendered and promised Ji Xuan to go back.

Mountain trails, overgrown with weeds.A more than 40-year-old woman was walking back with a chicken.

Seeing this, Fang Wu hurriedly ran two steps to stop him, asked a few questions about his sister, and found out that Fang Yue was indeed going to get married, so he was a little relieved.

After thinking about it for a while, he pulled people away and asked again: "Yes. I heard that you also match matchmakers in Zhouxue County, but do you know someone who delivers food?"

"You mean Su San? We don't know each other well. He's seriously ill, so how can we match him?"

Fang Wu said again, "Then no one asked you to come and talk about him."

Matchmaker Wang said strangely: "That's even more impossible. Who knows if the disease is contagious or not."

"Then you have been a matchmaker for someone recently. Is there anything new?" Fang Wu expressed his understanding and thought for a while.

"I was supposed to tell Zhang's family that they were childhood sweethearts, and even sold the cow. Then I knew that the girl from Zhang's family died suddenly."

"Dead? What's going on."

"I don't know, it's already been buried, and the mausoleum hasn't even stopped. Why are you asking these things? Could it be that you want to marry someone? That's right, my sister got married before my sister said anything, and your family is not particular about it." The matchmaker As he spoke, he looked at Fang Wu's face.

It's as if I really want to say kiss to her.

"No, what are you talking about?" Fang Wu refused.

Matchmaker Wang pulled Fang Wu's sleeve and said, "You're still shy, don't worry, don't rush. Let me show you what a beautiful girl you are."

"Ma'am." Fang Wu licked his lips and lowered his head. Ji Xuan's voice and figure flashed in his heart. He felt strange in his heart, and then remembered the girl from the Zhang family that Matchmaker Wang had mentioned and hurriedly asked, "Don't change the subject. The girl from the Zhang family you mentioned just now lives in Ritao Village, does she have a sister?"

She remembered that when they were begging for water in Day Tao village, Zhang Xuan asked.

Matchmaker Wang nodded: "That's right. There are only four people in the family. The one at the entrance of the village is not far from the vegetable field."

She found it strange, but she didn't express it, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before breaking up.

Fang Wu looked at the sky, and finally went home first.
