Jade spy border

Chapter 75
Except for the small matter of sending a letter last time, this was the first time Mi Yuyan asked Ying Tong and Pei Jie to take action. The two nodded quickly: "Girl, just give me orders."

"It is said that the daughter was born to a concubine of Hu Yuan's wife's family. Because her biological mother died early, she was recorded in the name of his wife's wife. After the incident, Hu Yuanwai announced that the daughter was sent to an official in Shu. She is a concubine, the specific family is unknown." Mi Yuyan told everything she learned from Master Qian.

Ying Tong and Pei Jie were a little hesitant when they heard that Hu Yuan's wife had lost their daughter. Finally, Ying Tong said, "The girl may not know something. This Hu Yuan's wife should not be so forbearing."

Mi Yuyan frowned: "Please elaborate."

Ying Tong immediately said: "This happened the year before last. At that time, Pei Er and I had just arrived in Linnan and had not yet established ourselves. Hu Yuan's family has many dogs. They usually look after the house and the hospital, so they can be kept at home. , but there is a vicious dog among them, which always likes to jump out and bite people on weekdays. If it finds the Hu family, they will not recognize it anyway. "

"One day, for some reason, this vicious dog jumped into the shop of an acquaintance in the West City and ruined the vegetables and meat prepared in his kitchen. There were people coming and going in the West City, and with this The owner of this small shop is also compassionate and often gives some vegetables and rice to the beggars in the neighborhood. In addition, the nearby Liba often eat in this shop and occasionally owe some money, so the shop owner is easy to talk to."

"Liba and the beggars in the West City couldn't recognize that this was the dog of a noble family in the East, so they beat the dog to death. The shopkeeper simply stewed it in a pot and treated these people to a good meal. Meat. No one cared about it and thought it was just over."

"Unexpectedly, probably more than a month later, the three or four Liba who ate dog meat that day either fell into the Linnan River and drowned while moving goods, or Chu Gong fell into the toilet and drowned. Another one fell to the bottom of the cliff on the way home."

"At the same time, the beggars in the West Market were poisoned to death by a pot of meat porridge laced with rat poison. This pot of meat porridge was donated by the owner of the cook's shop. The owner wiped his neck and committed suicide that night. The wife at home All the children and children were missing. The Tixing Yamen conducted an investigation and concluded that these three people were afraid of being implicated and fled out of fear of being guilty."

"Looking at this matter separately, we can't see anything to do with the Hu family. But girl, tell me, are there no hands and feet of the Hu family in this matter? No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's right, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. No. Just because I didn’t let the beggars around me go to the West City to beg, I won the appreciation of the biggest beggar leader in Linnan City."

"This old man has been in Linnan City for most of his life. He is alert and wise. He knows more or less about the unpopular things in Linnan City. Before he died, he told me that the people in Linnan City who should not be messed with are It’s this member Hu, and according to his wishes, that member’s adoptive father and adoptive mother may also die in unknown circumstances..."

Pei Er answered at this time: "The key is that Hu Yuanwai always behaves like a philanthropist. He gives out porridge during disasters and medicines at the Wanshou Temple free clinic. He also has a very good relationship with officials everywhere. , even if there is that blind thief who steals from his house and is bitten by his dog, he will send money to help people seek medical treatment. He is simply a good person known far and wide."

"If there is anything that is criticized about Mr. Hu, it is his backyard. It is really fat and thin, and it is full of beauties. Even in this matter, he also has a reason why people are not allowed to gossip. There are many rumors outside. , all said that his old father was repeatedly looked down upon by his tribe because he could not have children, and he had already left the tribe when he came to Linnan. Before his death, his old father and mother asked him to spread more branches and leaves so that their branch could truly stand up." Ying Tong He continued.

Mi Yuyan’s eyebrows were raised high. This person is really interesting. He is a lecherous person who can be said to be out of filial piety. He even brought out the hidden pain of the family, but in the end he is still a trafficker and a lackey. His adoptive father cannot have children. It is so embarrassing. How could he just talk about it casually? What's more, he had such means. If he was truly filial, how could he stop such rumors from flying around?Pei Jie seemed to remember something, so he said it directly: "Also, I heard someone say that the head lady in his family was not an ordinary person. Her family was originally engaged in the rice and grain business in Linnan City.

She is the only daughter in the family. After marrying Hu Yuanwai, she heard that the family was planning to adopt a son, but her daughter made her family very upset, which made her parents very angry, and then they became two people. The family was reunited, and not long after, the father-in-law and mother-in-law really passed away. "

Mi Yuyan immediately understood that both the couple were truly ruthless, and couldn't help but ask: "Since this lady is so powerful that she doesn't even agree to adopt a younger brother in the family, how can she let this Hu Yuan go outside?" Why do you take concubines so casually?"

Pei Jie shook his head: "There are no rumors about this outside, but few of their concubines survived to grow up. Instead, they were concubines, born in a litter. Because they were all born with beautiful faces, most of them were given to high-ranking officials as concubines. None of the people who crawled out of her belly were serious married people, they were all married to high-ranking officials to fill houses or something like that."

"The one who got married most recently was the house-filler of our magistrate's house. I heard that this person is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is even more gorgeous."

Mi Yuyan raised her eyebrows: "Why is the wife in front of Master Zhizhou missing?"

Even though Pei Jie understood what Mi Yuyan meant, he shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. It all happened before we came to Linnan Prefecture. But I heard that he died of illness. I really don't know the specific circumstances. Easy to talk about."

Mi Yuyan was originally not very interested in this kind of internal affairs, so she didn't bother too much, so she said: "It seems that Mr. Hu can do this for a dog. The missing daughter of his family is not only recorded in the official list." Under the name of the room, I have gained some respect in front of Mrs. Zhizhou, and I can often follow her out and about, just for the benefit of the future, Hu Yuanwai cannot be indifferent. "

Ying Tong and Pei Jie both nodded, and Ying Tong said solemnly: "That's what we two mean. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

Mi Yuyan pursed her lips, glanced at the two people in front of her, and asked with a slight smile: "After talking about this for a long time, you must have some idea of ​​who the other missing sister is, right? But this matter , I can only rot in my heart!"

Pei Jie and Ying Tong were both stunned. They really didn't think much about it at first, but Mi Yuyan's words made them quickly come to their senses.
