In just one morning, Little Goat brought back the exact news: Xie Ping, like Wang He and Xu Lan, had indeed been measured for wedding clothes!
Moreover, the wedding clothes of the three girls from Wang Xie Xu’s family were all tailor-made at Duan’s Clothing Store on South Second Street.
Duan's clothing store is famous throughout Dongping County for its exquisite craftsmanship and excellent quality. It was founded by the Duan family and has a long history that has been passed down for three generations.
The wealthy squires in Dongping County wear clothes made by Duan's clothing store, which is a symbol of identity and status!
Wang Xie and Xu Sanjia are certainly considered to be wealthy families in Dongping County! When a girl gets married, her wedding clothes will naturally be tailor-made by Duan's clothing store.
This makes sense! Not surprising!
"In other words, this person may have threatened three girls with unknown words during the measurement, forcing them to drown themselves in the river?"
Wang Erhu seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du at once, and instantly unlocked the brain's IQ.
The little goat replied: "Brother Erhu, you are finally smart for once!"
Wang Erhu knocked him: "You're not big or small, how can you talk to your seniors?"
The little goat rubbed his head and looked at him angrily.
Yan Qidao: "If that's the case, then this person must be very well-informed! Not only does he know the secrets that girls are ashamed to share, he also knows when Duan's Clothing Store will make clothes!"
"There is another possibility. This person is from Duan's clothing store!" Li Mobai said.
Yan Qi nodded in agreement.
In order not to alert the enemy, Li Mobai asked people from Duan's clothing store to come and take measurements in the name of making winter official uniforms for the yamen.
Duan's clothing store has already formed a professional one-stop service model.
They have professional people who come to take measurements.
As long as no one leaves Duan's Clothing Store in a short period of time, they will definitely be the ones taking measurements for the three ladies.
When the clothing store heard that the county magistrate was making clothes, they rushed over in the afternoon. However, as soon as they entered the door, they found that there was more than one person in the county magistrate's house.
"Master Li, what are you doing?"
The people who came to Duan's Clothing Store to take measurements were a man and a woman. They looked a little confused, but not panicked.
Li Mobai winked at Yan Qi.
Yan Qi understood and asked the little goat to serve tea.
"When the yamen hears that they need to make clothes, of course they all come over. It's just that there are a lot of people, please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the man and the woman suddenly became much more relaxed.
While taking everyone's measurements, Li Mobai asked: "A few days ago, I heard that you measured the measurements of Ms. Xu Lan, the wife of Mr. Xu's wife. Is this true?"
It was the woman who took the measurements. When she heard this, she immediately shook her head: "That's not true! The Xu family asked us to come over to take the measurements, but who knew that they themselves had taken the measurements and sent them out in advance! Xiaohubai and I made a trip , I didn’t even get the reward!”
Because we are getting married and we belong to a wealthy family, we will give a reward whenever we go.
But they didn't see the owner, so naturally they didn't get the reward.
When Li Mobai heard this, he and Yan Qi looked at each other. Li Mobai then asked, "Is there anything else like this?"
The man who came with him, Xiaohu, thought again: "There are two other families too!"
Li Mobai asked again: "Are those two young ladies called Xie Ping and Wang He?"
The man and woman were surprised at the same time: "How do you know, sir?"
"Who sent the dimensions to you?" Yan Qi asked.
"A maid, she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, and we didn't look carefully!"
"The ones who gave me measurements were all maids? What clothes are you wearing?"
Li Mobai asked next.
The woman looked at him strangely: "Master Li, he came to us not just to measure the size!"
Li Mobai smiled. They didn't even see the three victims, so they were certainly not the murderers, so they didn't hide it.
"Indeed, I believe you have all heard about the three girls who committed suicide by drowning themselves in the river! I came to you to find out the specific situation! But I won't let you two go in vain. The clothes in this yamen, We still have to do it!" Li Mobai said.
After asking the questions and taking measurements, Li Mobai asked Wang Erhu to send them out.
At this time, the man named Xiaohu suddenly said: "I remembered, the maids from these three families seem to be the same person! And... and that maid is a bit tall, almost catching up with the height of ordinary men!"
So Yan Qi looked at this man again.
She found that Xiaohu was indeed quite short, and generally shorter people were more concerned about their height.
Yan Qiyi turned around and found Li Mobai pouting and smiling. So he asked him: "Do you know who it is?"
Li Mobai looked at her: "What about you?"
"There are some signs." Yan Qi said.
Li Mobai smiled and said: "Don't tell me! Let's also learn from Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. Each write a character in the palm of his hand and see if what we see is the same?"
So he asked the little goat to get a pen and inkstone. Li Mobai first secretly wrote a word and hid it in his palm, then handed the pen to Yan Qi, who also secretly wrote a word.
The two moved closer to the couch, each said the words in their palms, looked at each other, and smiled at each other.
It turns out that in Li Mobai's palm, there is the character "Ge"; in Yan Qi's palm, there is also the character "Ge".
Zhuge Lei watched the two of them playing riddles, feeling resentful in his heart: In broad daylight, everything is clear! The county magistrate is openly flirting with a man, which is really offensive and offensive!
