Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"This Huang Xiucai has no father, no mother, and only knows how to study hard. Last year, he had no way to survive the locust plague. He went to Lingzhou with a group of neighbors to seek a way to survive." Lin Yi added.

Shen Yuan nodded while listening.

At the border between Tongzhou and Lingzhou, a plum of potatoes had already been planted in Lingzhou at that time, and Tongzhou only started planting at that time, so many poor people from Tongzhou came to Lingzhou to seek livelihood.

This Huang Xiucai ate his last meal without a famine, relying on the support of relatives and friends. This famine can only go out to beg for food.Also a poor man!
Where is this poor man now? Why was he replaced by another unrelated person? It seems that the case caused by Miss Gao's disappearance is becoming more and more complicated as the investigation progresses!
After being silent for a while, Shen Yuan looked at Ji Dong.

"Brother Lin Yi, send someone to monitor 'Huang Xiucai' and find out the real identity of this fake "Huang Xiucai".By the way, don't startle him. "

"Yes." Lin Yi took the order and went down.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yuan looked at the shadow, "Brother Ying, what do you think will happen in this matter?"

Shadow has not been with Shen Yuan for a day or two. He knew that Shen Yuan actually had guesses in his heart when he asked this question, so he answered according to his own ideas.

"It should be on the way to escape from famine. This fake scholar killed the real scholar, took his identity document and pretended to be his identity, and came to Yanggu County."

"Then what do you think the identity of the fake scholar will be?" Shen Yuan asked again.

"Maybe it's a neighbor? Or maybe they don't know each other at all, and they met on the way to escape from the famine?"

"Well, it's possible." Shen Yuan nodded, paused and said again, "But there is another possibility, the fake scholar might be a robber!"

"The robber robbed someone, and then pretended to be him and came to Yanggu County?" Shadow said, "If this is the case, the robber is too bold, right?"

"Starve to death the timid and support the bold to death~~ His move is much better than being a robber." Shen Yuan laughed, and after laughing, he thought about it for a while, and shook his head, "Of course, this possibility should not be possible. Big, after all, if it is a robber, where is his accomplice? We are all on the same path, how could his accomplice agree to let him enjoy life here as a grand lord?'
Thinking about it like this, Shen Yuan felt that the two possibilities mentioned by the shadow were bigger. It should be that the partner who fled together had an evil intention and replaced Huang Xiucai's identity. After all, since ancient times, there have been no such bold robbers, nor such stupid The county magistrate will join forces with the robbers.

But there's no need to spend this brain to guess, Ji Dong and the others will know when they investigate.

It's just that this matter may not be so easy to investigate clearly, and there will be no results in a while.

Shen Yuan planned to investigate the case of Miss Gao's disappearance first, and decided to find a way to sneak into Huang Xiucai's mansion to find out.

After squatting outside "Huang Xiucai's Mansion" for two days, I found a woman who delivered tofu to "Huang Xiucai's Mansion" every morning. Stopped the woman nearby, spent some money to buy the job of delivering tofu, and then carried it to the corner gate.

"Master, don't go in, let me sneak in~~" Shadow looked worried.

"No need, the hidden guards went in before and found nothing." Shen Yuan shook her head, not only did the dark guards go in, she also let Xiaoxue in.

The news from the hidden guards was that there are guards in the mansion for twelve hours, and it is easy to alarm them. She doesn't want to alarm them. If someone is alarmed and someone escapes, where can I find it? She also wants to join the county magistrate Lei One pot end' yet.

And Xiaoxuetuan came in after smelling Miss Gao's scent, but no one was found inside.

Shen Yuan was not reconciled, and planned to go in and see for himself.

"Brother Ying, don't worry, I'm skilled enough, you wait for me in this teahouse." Shen Yuan glanced at the teahouse across the street.

"Okay." Shadow nodded in response, and exhorted with concern, "Master, be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, you go, so as not to be suspicious." Shen Yuan quickened his pace and came outside the corner gate after finishing speaking.

The concierge saw a strange face, so he looked at her vigilantly, "Who is it? Who asked you to come?"

"Oh, sister-in-law Zhang is ill, please ask me to deliver the tofu for her." Shen Yuan replied calmly, her makeup was impeccable, she was a middle-aged woman.

The concierge glanced at him and asked a few more questions, seeing Shen Yu'an's fluent answers without any doubts, he let her in.

After entering the courtyard, Shen Yuan carried the burden of tofu to the backyard, looking around.

I don't know if I didn't come in. When I came in, I found that there were not many guards in the house. Soon someone found her and walked towards her quickly.

"Who? Dare to break into the mansion?"
"Oh, I'm here to deliver the tofu instead of Mrs. Zhang, she's sick." Shen Yuan quickly replied.

"Over there, if you dare to run around, be careful of your life." The man pointed in a direction impatiently.Shen Yuan glanced at him calmly, and went in the direction he pointed.

Carrying the burden to the kitchen, he muttered softly, "These people don't look like servants? There is hostility in their mouths. They are thugs raised by Huang Xiucai, right? They must be used to help him do evil things."

Mumbling all the way to the outside of the kitchen, he was talking to a woman, when a burst of fragrance came, and a beautiful figure drifted over, it was the cuckoo who drove Mo's away at the gate of the mansion that day.

Du Juan came over shaking the handkerchief, glanced at the tofu in the bucket and suddenly said with disgust: "This tofu is really poorly made, why is it so yellow in color? It is far worse than the ones in the capital." Turned around and entered the door of the kitchen.

Not to mention that Shen Yuan didn't pay attention to what she said, Shen Yuan immediately felt that her back was very familiar.

That hip twisted, that handkerchief swung~~ Shen Yuan was sure she must have seen it somewhere, otherwise the impression would not be so deep, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't remember it.

"Do you want more money?" The beautifully dressed maid gave Shen Yuan money, and saw Shen Yuan staring at Du Juan's back in a daze, so she drank.

Shen Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, this lady from the capital city walks beautifully, and I'm dumbfounded." He took the money and put it in his pocket.

The maid twitched her lips, "Didn't you hear Madam think the tofu is poorly made? Go back and tell Ms. Zhang, tell her to be careful."

"Yes yes yes." Shen Yuan hurriedly responded, looking at the maidservant with a fawning smile, "I didn't even have time to take a sip of water when I got up this morning, kind girl, can you let me in for a drink?"

"Go." Seeing her smiling, the servant girl nodded, but still ordered, "Go out after drinking the water, the master doesn't allow outsiders to stay in the house." After speaking, she turned and went into the kitchen.

Shen Yuan also dawdled towards the kitchen, when he heard Du Juan scolding the cook inside: "Your dishes are really getting worse and worse, how can you eat them? Even the guys in Penglai restaurant are better than you."

After hearing this sentence, Shen Yuan suddenly had a picture in her mind. On the day of watching the ice lanterns in the first lunar month of this year, when she and Ji Xun came to the restaurant, she saw Shen Zuorong walking into the casino opposite the restaurant with her arms around her. Exactly like this woman?
Yes, it must be her!
I remember that Shen Yonglu once mentioned to her that Shen Zuorong met a kiln sister named Du Juan and became obsessed with gambling!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan quickly stopped a woman passing by and asked her wife's name.

The woman really said a familiar name, Du Juan.

Now Shen Yu'an was puzzled, I heard from Shen Yonglu that the kiln sister named Du Juan took Shen Zuorong's money and ran away, but the strange thing is that she traveled so far, why did she come to Lingzhou?
