Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 649 Forty-eight · Life Experience

   Zhang Tuiguan stayed in Shenjia Village for seven or eight days. During these few days, the stories he had heard were more and more bizarre than the cases he had handled in previous years.

  For example, a very young and rich girl once came to the village. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was accompanied by servants.

   In such an ordinary village, that girl was impressively rich.

   It's been almost twenty years, and Aunt Shen still remembers it clearly: "That little girl is really, wearing clothes that she can't name, and she can't open her eyes."

   Zhang Tuiguan had already thought of a lot of things at this time, but he still asked very gently and calmly: "Then what? Then what?"

"That little girl has lived in the village, as if she is waiting for someone." Aunt Shen sighed, thinking of the little girl back then, she still had some fresh shocks in her memory: "She is very particular, she rented a big family in our village. She doesn’t let others in, and she doesn’t go out every day, but the group of people she brings are very particular about going out. They must buy the freshest vegetables and fish, and don’t drink the water we have here. She went to Yuquan Mountain to pick it up, and she gave her money. The little girl was a little picky, but she had a good heart. It was winter, and it was a drought that year. Many people in the village could not eat, so she took out a lot of money. , I don't know why, I bought a lot of food."

   That's why the villagers were so impressed with her.

   Zhang Tuiguan hummed: "Then she left?"

"Let's go?" Aunt Shen tilted her head slowly, put down her work subconsciously, stared at the full pot of corn kernels for a while before she remembered, shook her head and said, "I don't know if I left, Anyway, the girl suddenly disappeared one day, the house was empty, and there was nothing left."

   Zhang Tuiguan was a little disappointed, what he wanted to ask was not these.

   frowned and looked at Aunt Shen for a while, Zhang Tuiguan coughed and cleared his throat again: "Auntie, these are not important, don't you know more about this girl?"

   Aunt Shen gave him a puzzled look, and after a while of chattering, she understood what Zhang Tuiguan meant, and pursed her lips blankly: "This, no more"

"For example, according to what you said, this girl has lived here for a few months. In these months, she has not revealed her origins at all? Haven't relatives and friends ever come to her?" Zhang The push officer stared at Aunt Shen closely and reminded anxiously: "Think again, this is very important."

   Aunt Shen thought about it for a while, and then she said blankly: "Why don't you know what the little girl's last name is? I heard Daoist Xuanyuan call her Miss Qi."

   Xuanyuan?

   is Xuanyuan again!

   Zhang Tuiguan groaned in his heart, and immediately asked, "This Daoist Xuanyuan, why is he related to this girl?"

"Of course there is." Aunt Shen continued to take the guy and began to pack the corn, while answering Zhang Tuiguan's words: "The little girl lived in the village for a long time, and when the Taoist priest Xuanyuan came, not long after that, the little girl gone."

   Zhang Tuiguan held the peach wood sword in his hand and snorted in his heart.

   Where in the world are there so many coincidences?

  Whether it's the peach wood sword or the corpse, anyway, Daoist Xuanyuan can't escape from this matter.

   He sorted out his thoughts, and finally got a clue. He bowed his hands towards Aunt Shen and thanked her, stood up and patted the ashes on his robes, and led them back to the county office.

   Aunt Shen watched him leave, and called out to him again, she hesitated, "Master Zhang, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Naturally it's because of the corpse." Zhang Tuiguan didn't want to say more, but thinking that maybe Aunt Shen knew something, he added: "Maybe, that corpse belongs to the rich little girl you mentioned. "

   "Ah!" Aunt Shen lost everything in her hand, she stared at him with wide eyes and shook her head sharply: "This is impossible, no, no!"

Zhang Tuiguan had already thought that the corpse in the pit belonged to Miss Qi in Aunt Shen's mouth, but seeing Aunt Shen's nervous and excited expression, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious. He stopped and asked Aunt Shen: "How do you know it's impossible? How can it not?"

"Daoist Xuanyuan said that the little girl has found her relatives and has gone back to live a good life!" Aunt Shen was a little excited, she still had a lot of affection for the little girl, and couldn't help but scratch her neck to tell the difference: "Afterwards, there were people in our village who said Look at the wealthy appearance of that little girl, I'm afraid she may be a girl from a noble family. Not long after Miss Qi disappeared from us, I heard that a girl surnamed Qi rescued the empress and was brought back by the empress. It was raised in the palace, so what about our girl Qi? Otherwise, how could there be so many girls Qi in this world?!”

This sentence made Zhang Tuiguan stunned, and then he stood up immediately-he remembered that when he went to the pawnshop before, the boss had said that Xu Cifu's daughter-in-law had specially bought it. It's the same batch of jewelry that he's holding now.

   Then, just as Aunt Shen and the other villagers would think, Zhang Tuiguan also has the same doubts. Does the daughter-in-law of Xu Ge's old family, Qi, have any relatives with this Qi?

  In terms of age, in fact, at that time, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, which is reasonable.

   Zhang Tuiguan quickly returned to the county government office with his things and discussed with the county magistrate Wu.

Wu Xiancheng didn't expect him to be so bold, and he scolded in a stunned manner: "Nonsense! It's just that they are both surnamed Qi, so you link the two together, and there is no other evidence. You didn't send it to others to ridicule you. pause?"

Zhang Tuiguan was a little unconvinced. He gave Wu Xiancheng a rational analysis, and reminded him: "More than 20 years ago, think about it, wasn't that the craziest time for the abolition of the emperor? During that time, Seeing that the emperor was about to end, he even worsened the cruelty of Zhongliang. People everywhere were panicking. Zhennan Wangfu was in distress. It's a long way, and the other thing is, I have to visit Madam Tong and Grandma Xu, and we have to determine the identity of the body, so we can investigate further, right?"

  Wu Xiancheng is a little embarrassed. This is easy to say, but in fact it involves a lot.

   That Xuanyuan sounded like he was deeply involved with Miss Qi back then. If something was really involved in this matter, then whether it was Mrs. Tong or Grandma Xu, the reputation would not be a good thing.
