Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 58 The Boss Is Very Green

"What was the woman like?"

"It seems to be... ouch, I've seen too many, I can't tell the difference..."

"What are the characteristics of the body?"

"After entering, the black lamps are blind, aren't they all the same!"

"Was she all right when you left?"

"Okay, the villain is not bragging, anyone who is happy with the villain will miss me afterwards.

A few times, women from all over the world inquired about where there are girls who teach knitters, just to find me..."

Hu Qian raised his hand and slapped him, "Hu Jiu, lock him in the south room, watch carefully, don't let him die."

When it was dawn, Hu Qian immediately put Hu Jiu in a carriage and took Wang Erxi to the state government office.

Seeing the female corpse, Wang Erxi was shocked immediately, "It's her, but she was fine when I left, why did she die? Could it be that I used too much force?"

Hu Qian slapped him again, "Just say something useless! Which family does she belong to!"

"I can't remember exactly which one it is from. It seems to be a clothing store. Yes, it belongs to a clothing store."

"What's the name of the store?"

"I didn't see it clearly."

Hu Qian didn't ask any more questions, and cupped his hands towards Xu Yuanfang and said, "Uncle, I'll leave the flower picker to you, and I'll go around the street."

Xu Yuanfang said: "You want to find that clothing store? Don't bother, I'll send someone to the street to check one by one."

Hu Qian said: "If we investigate clearly, I'm afraid they will be alarmed, and nothing will be found out."

Xu Yuanfang nodded, "Okay, let's visit secretly."

Hu Qian returned home and took Shen Yuzhen and Axiu to the street for a stroll.

As the New Year is approaching, there are countless traffickers coming and going from north to south, and there are even rich families shopping and enjoying themselves, which is very lively.

Shen Yuzhen said: "Sir, is there anything you want to buy?"

Hu Qian said: "It's freezing cold, let's make you two thick clothes."

Axiu said: "Didn't you just make Laba? I am not willing to wear it yet."

Hu Qian laughed, "Isn't it just to wear clothes after they're made? Don't wear them, so you can look at them?"

Axiu said: "The clothes are so good, when I was in Gai County, I have never seen such good clothes in the whole street!

The concubine is reluctant to part with it, fearing that it will be worn out.

As long as you can look at it, you can see how good the young master is to the concubine. "

Hu Qian shook his head, "Okay, I'll make another one for you this time. It doesn't need to be too good, just keep it warm. Let's go to this one, go and have a look first."

After entering the store, a clerk immediately greeted him with a smiling face, "Master, do you want to make clothes or buy ready-made clothes?"

Hu Qian looked around, "Why are you alone in this shop?"

"Oh, the shopkeeper and his wife accompanied the old man to offer incense, and we won't be back until later."

Hu Qian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and looked at the clothes hanging on the shop floor, "Is there any good, warm ones, let me see."

"Are you wearing it or..."

"Madam wears."

The clerk responded, and immediately brought two coats and skirts, and two bijias.

Although Axiu said that she didn't want to buy it, she looked at it as soon as it was brought.

After all, these things are not insignificantly attractive to women.

The two picked it up and compared it for a while, then shook their heads, "The material is good, but it doesn't fit well."

The guy hurriedly said: "If it's custom made, you can come later, the lady boss will be back by then, and her hand is just a coincidence."

Hu Qian nodded, then stepped out.

After visiting another house, Hu Qian asked the two of them to choose again. After the two made their choice, he said that it was not suitable, and it would be better to customize it.

Because it is for the female relatives, the proprietress should be invited out.

At this time, if the proprietress really comes out, he will order two sets, if not, he will not make it.

After wandering around for a long while, she couldn't find any clues. Shen Yuzhen had already ordered five sets of clothes, and Axiu had also ordered three sets.

Axiu was both happy and worried, "Master, you don't need to do it anymore, these are enough to wear for many years."

Shen Yuzhen thought for a while and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

Hu Qian said: "It's something, but I can't tell you now. Anyway, the clothes are made for wearing, and I'm not afraid of ruining things. Let's go, the next family."

"Cheng Ji Cloth Village"

Before entering the door, I saw a man standing behind the counter, staring blankly at the abacus on the table.

There were also two men, a man and a woman, who were dusting off their clothes with a feather duster.

Seeing the three of Hu Qian coming in, the man immediately smiled and said, "My lord, what do you want?"

Hu Qian said, "Make a dress for Madam."

"Okay, I don't know what style I want, let's..."

Hu Qian played tricks, and Shen Yuzhen immediately stepped forward to choose a set of expensive materials, "This material is good, and it happened to order a bijia."

"Okay, Xia Tao, measure the lady."

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "Young girl has thick hands, it's still the lady boss."

The man said: "Unfortunately, the bitch has returned to her mother's house, you can ask the girl to measure it."

Hu Qian said, "I'm back at my mother's house. When I came here yesterday, wasn't she still there?"

The man was taken aback, "Ah, I was indeed there yesterday. That...at night, her family came to report the funeral, saying that her cousin died, so they took her back overnight."

Hu Qian said with a smile: "If that's the case, forget it."

Then, he sent Shen Yuzhen and Axiu home first, and then went to the state government office, and directly asked Xu Yuanfang to bring the boss of Chengji Cloth House for questioning.

When they arrived at the lobby, Xu Yuanfang patted the gavel, "Who is in the hall, tell us your name!"

"Villain Cheng Huaiming, please meet Mr. Zhizhou."

"Cheng Huaiming! You are guilty!"

"My lord, the villain is innocent!"

Xu Yuanfang didn't talk nonsense and asked someone to bring the female body in.

The weather was cold, and the face of the corpse hadn't changed much.

When Cheng Huaiming saw it, he was immediately stunned.

"Cheng Huaiming, do you recognize this person!"

"I know, she is the villain's wife, Mrs. Chen."

"Your wife was killed, why didn't you come to report to the officials! There are notices of body identification posted everywhere in the city, don't say you don't know about it!"

"Little man, little man...my lady, she was picked up by her family last night. They said that her cousin died and went back to attend the funeral. The villain doesn't know how she was killed."

Xu Yuanfang slapped the gavel, "Still arguing! Someone! Hit me with forty sticks first!"

The yamen guards on both sides immediately stuck Cheng Huaiming's neck with water and fire sticks, and the other two beat him on the buttocks. After less than [-] sticks, they beat him to pieces and screamed loudly.

"My lord, stop beating, stop beating, I'm recruiting, stop beating..."

Xu Yuanfang waved his hand, and the officials on both sides immediately retreated to one side.

"Cheng Huaiming, if you dare to say another lie, it's not forty sticks!"

"Yes, yes, even if the adults ask, the villains will answer honestly."

Xu Yuanfang looked at Hu Qian who was standing inside, then turned to Cheng Huaiming and asked, "Did you kill your wife?"

"No, it wasn't the villain who killed it!"

"Your wife is gone, why didn't you come to report to the official!"

"Little man, this..."

"Ok?"

"The villain dare not come..."

"Why didn't you dare to come!"

"This……"

Seeing his shy face, Xu Yuanfang was afraid of the gavel, "Take it to the second hall!"

In the second hall, there were only Xu Yuanfang, Hu Qian and Cheng Huaiming.

Cheng Huaiming glanced at Hu Qian, first startled, then lowered his head.

"There's no one else here, let's talk!"

"Yes, yes...the villain didn't report to the officials because...the villain arranged for his wife to have an affair with someone else, so..."

Xu Yuanfang and Hu Qian looked at each other.

"What? You arranged for your wife to have an affair with someone else?!"
