The eldest brother took Yuanbao to Fucheng to pick up the third child.
Su Junye stayed in the town but was not idle either.
When Yuan Bao left, he assigned him a task and asked him to find out whose family the urn belonged to.
This matter is said to be easy to handle, because Dongqi Town is not big, and there are not many people in the town.
But it is difficult to say that it is not easy to handle.
After all, people look the same after they die and are burned into a handful of ashes.
How do you find out who owns the urn?
Su Junye worries every day.
The little brother who followed him every day gave him an idea after learning about it.
"Boss, let's just check every family that has died since the year before last year! See whose ashes are not at home."
Cremation became popular in Dongqi Town only the year before last.
The funeral customs passed down from the Western Regions, and there was not much land around Dongqi Town, so cremation only became popular in Dongqi Town the year before last.
After the cremation, most people will definitely bury the ashes in their ancestral grave.
They just need to go to the ancestral graves and check if there are any signs of recent groundbreaking.
"You are still smart!"
Su Junye happily slapped Xiao Shunzi on the back of the head.
This is the little brother Yuan Bao said he has the same heart with, and Su Junye thinks highly of him.
Don't bother the people in the yamen with your own affairs.
I am also afraid that if too many people know about it, I will alert the enemy.
Su Junye only took Shunzi and two others to privately check several families that had experienced funerals in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, among them were the eldest daughter and son-in-law of Mr. Tan’s family next door.
That is, the eldest sister and brother-in-law of Liuzi.
Su Junye still remembered that she was the one who dug the urn out of the mire.
Could it be that she was shouting to catch the thief?
"You said that urn belongs to my home?"
The two found the eldest daughter of the Tan family at her husband's house.
This girl usually looks languid, but she speaks very clearly.
Last time she said she would exchange one life for another and she would never have contact with her parents' family again, so she meant what she said.
When she saw Su Junye coming to find her, she thought something had happened to her brother again.
Although he said that it had nothing to do with him, his ears were still perked and he did not directly drive them away.
As a result, when Su Junye opened his mouth, he was talking about the urn that was taken out from under the quagmire.
She froze.
"You mean, my home is far away over there..."
She had been married to her husband's family for several years, but because of her concubine, she had not been allowed to have children of her own.
After several years of hard work, the mistress finally allowed her to give birth to her child because she was too weak and obedient and was trusted by her mistress.
She was a very beautiful girl, and she named her Yaoyao.
The birth of Yaoyao finally brought some light to this woman's life. She began to learn to laugh and fight for her own interests.
I just want to give little Yaoyao a better life.
But the hemp rope breaks at small places, and bad luck tends to find the poor.
Little Yaoyao grew up to two years old, but one night she rolled over and crushed her to death...
She had no idea how much Xiao Yaoyao had suffered. She had done too many things that day, she was too tired... so she slept too hard...
Yaoyao died like this, and she regretted that she wished she could hang herself and go there to be with her daughter.
It was her sister who came to look at her every day that made her come out of the shadow of this incident.
Now that Su Junye came to ask if the ashes were far away, sad memories came back again.
Her thin body swayed and she almost lost her balance.
Su Junye quickly helped her up and said angrily: "Not necessarily, we are just here to ask."
"Commander Su, what's going on? Do you need Wei's help?"
The old man married to the eldest daughter of the Tan family is also named Wei.
He is from the same family as Wei Qing and Wei Gaoyang, but their relationship is not that close.
Mr. Wei looks older than this woman's father.
Su Junye sighed secretly. It's no wonder that the two daughters of the Wei family hated their parents so much.
When he explained his intention, Mr. Wei's round head shook, and the brows on his round face tightened and loosened several times.
After a long while, he stroked his beard and looked Su Junye up and down and said, "Commander Su asked what is going on? Could it be that my own daughter has died and I have to report it to your Yamen?"
Of course this is not necessary.
What's more, his daughter didn't get it a few years ago.
At that time, Su Junye was not in charge of the Military and Horse Department.
After all, he was investigating his own affairs. Su Junye was extra patient today and was not angry at the obviously hostile Mr. Wei. He said in a gentle tone: "Of course not, I'm just curious whether this Yuanyuan was buried in your family's ancestral grave? "
Mr. Wei waved his hand and said impatiently: "That girl died in mid-life. The ungrown baby cannot be put into the ancestral graves even if it is burned. I just scattered it into the ground for her."
"..." Hearing this, the eldest daughter of the Tan family sobbed even more fiercely.
She was the one who gave birth to Yaoyao, but she also died in her hands.
If the host's family hadn't been kind-hearted, it would have been possible for her to just divorce her and throw her back to her parents' family.
Therefore, she could not participate in any of Yuanyuan's funerals and could only let the host family handle it.
No one told her where her little Yaoyao was buried, so she could only quietly burn some ingots and paper money in a brazier every Ghost Festival, hoping that her Yaoyao would not be bullied there.
It is indeed a tradition here that children who died young cannot enter their ancestors' graves.
Seeing that there was nothing to investigate, Su Junye took his little brother and left the Wei family.
But as soon as he left the Wei family's house, Shunzi said, "Boss, I think that Mr. Wei didn't tell the truth."
"How did you see that?"
In fact, Su Junye himself also had such speculation.
Because when Mr. Wei was talking about Yuanyuan just now, his eyes were not only impatient, but also slightly uneasy and panicked.
If he hadn't done something wrong, why would he be so worried?
So the two brothers decided to check other families first, and then come back to investigate the Wei family.
Fortunately, few people have died in recent years. In just one afternoon, the two of them visited several houses.
Make sure that all the ashes of other people are properly buried in your own ancestral grave.
Now only the ashes of the Wei family's little Yaoyao are left. I don't know where they are.
The two of them were eating in Fuhailou, the Su family's restaurant, while thinking about how to launch an investigation from the Wei family.
Su Junye has been a person who can do things without thinking since he was a child.
This matter really embarrassed him.
His head was almost scratched, and he couldn't come up with a good idea.
"What should I do? Yuan Bao assigned me a task before he left. I can't even handle this..." Su Junye frowned.
The eldest brother was worried, and Shunzi also had a sad look on his face.
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from the Accord next to me.
Two male voices seemed to be arguing.
"Don't threaten me yet! I'm not afraid of your threats!" The man was older and his voice was a bit vicissitudes of life.
The other man's voice was slightly younger and he sneered: "Okay, then let your family know how your little girl died!"
