Yang Wuhui and Gu Jieqing walked to the rouge shop admiring it.
I met that aunt, the lady of the Meng family!
It is said that the Meng family's wife is in her thirties, but with her figure and appearance, she looks like she is in her twenties.
There was no one in the Meng family's shop at the moment, so Yang Wuhui and Gu Jieqing walked in.
When the two men entered the rouge shop, the Meng family couldn't help but take a look at them.
Then he came up and said, "I wonder if you two are here to buy rouge for your wife?"
Yang Wuhui shook his head: "I just took a look!"
This made Mrs. Meng even more weird.
Then he said: "Then please watch as you like!"
Madam Meng returned to the counter, but the look in her eyes and the expression on her face were still extremely surprising.
Gu Jieqing felt a little uncomfortable here.
However, he knew that Yang Wuhui was definitely not here to see Rouge, and must have his own purpose, so he followed Yang Wuhui with the knife in his hand.
Soon Yang Wuhui turned around twice and came to the counter.
He said to the Meng family's wife: "Shopkeeper, the quality of the rouge here is really excellent!"
Lady Meng was surprised and said: "This gentleman also knows about rouge?"
Yang Wuhui replied: "Of course I understand. My family is an incense maker, and I am very knowledgeable about rouge."
Gu Jieqing was stunned and asked in a low voice: "No, when did your family become an incense maker?"
Yang Wuhui replied with a dissatisfied look on his face: "When I go out, I gave my identity to myself, so you don't care about me!"
Meng Shuang laughed after hearing this.
"This husband is really interesting. I wonder what the purpose of the husband is to find me?"
Yang Wuhui stopped pretending and said bluntly: "Mrs. Meng still remembers her niece, Meng Bing!"
Meng Shuang's expression changed, and he looked at Yang Wuhui warily and said, "Who are you?"
Gu Jieqing did give an answer here.
"This is your new magistrate of Xichong County, Magistrate Yang Wuhui!"
Meng Shuang was surprised, and then he saluted: "The little girl is paying homage to the county magistrate. I wonder why the county magistrate suddenly mentioned my niece Bing'er?"
Yang Wuhui explained: "When I was looking through the files, I discovered this case. But as the previous county magistrate failed to solve the case, it became a suspicious case. Now that the county magistrate has taken office, he will naturally give a death sentence to the deceased. justice!"
Meng Shuang's face showed joy, and then fell silent again.
She said: "Your Excellency, it's not that I don't trust you, but that Bing'er has been dead for half a year. The murderer was not even found in this case. What's more, after so long, where did he go? Catch the murderer! Moreover, if you want to reopen this case, Lord County Lord, do you still want to disturb Bing'er's body? She has already been laid to rest, so it would be extremely inappropriate to touch his body again this time!"
Yang Wuhui understood Madam Meng's worries and said: "Of course there is no need to disturb the body, the person has been laid to rest. And the purpose of reopening the body is to find more clues to prove how she died. And in the Yamen The case story is clearly written that she was strangled to death, and this work has made it clear."
Meng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Then what does the county magistrate need from me?"
This Lady Meng is an extremely smart person, and she knows that Yang Wuhui's visit to her this time must not only be about talking to her about this matter, but also what she needs to do.
Yang Wuhui said: "Please tell me what happened at that time, Madam Meng, but I don't know if Madam Meng still remembers it clearly!"
Meng Shuang said: "Of course I remember!"
Then Meng Shuang fell into memories.
"Half a year ago, Mr. Zhang and I met at a temple fair in Linxian County. This Mr. Zhang spends a lot of money and is very talented, which makes me admire him very much. And this Mr. Zhang treats other people without any pretense. Shan Shan and I met each other's eyes. Of course, I am a businessman, so I will not be impulsive, so I thought of considering him. After that, I exchanged letters with Mr. Zhang until one day he told me, He is coming to Xichong."
"Of course, I also heard about the county magistrate's affairs, and I arrested General Squint-Eye. Although General Squint-Eye is a low-ranking bandit among the people of Xichong County, after all, he has a large number of people, so I still In the reply, I asked Mr. Zhang to be careful. It didn’t take long for Mr. Zhang to come. When he found me, he was very embarrassed. He said that he had met the squinty-eyed general and that all his money had been robbed. He had no money on him, so he wanted to Ask me to borrow money from you."
"I was naturally stunned at first, and even suspected that Mr. Zhang came here for my money. But Mr. Zhang only asked me to borrow five pieces of silver, which was not much, so I agreed. But Bing'er didn't agree, saying that this kind of routine is common in the business world. At first, I borrowed five yuan, and then I borrowed five yuan consistently. But I didn't listen to Bing'er, and still gave the money to I borrowed it. Mr. Zhang didn’t come to see me in the next few days. I also wanted to go to Rouge, so I left the house. Then, something happened to Bing’er!”
Meng Shuang choked up when he said this.
However, Yang Wuhui ignored the pity and asked, "After Meng Bing's accident, did you ever suspect that Mr. Zhang harmed her?"
Meng Shuang wiped her tears with her sleeves and said in a low voice: "Yes, at first I thought it was Mr. Zhang who had harmed Mr. Zhang. But when the county police officers found Mr. Zhang, they found out that Mr. Zhang was actually responsible for stealing things. I was arrested. It turns out that Mr. Zhang didn’t come to see me in those days because he stole someone else’s money bag.”
Yang Wuhui understood. No wonder the county government couldn't find a single suspect.
Meng Shuang continued: "I have a harmonious relationship with my neighbors, and my external business is also taken care of by everyone. The rouge I buy is not mixed with water. I have never had any grudges with others, and I have never had any enemies. Bing'er's death really makes me think a lot. I can’t figure it out! I want revenge, but I don’t even know who to seek revenge from!”
At this time, Meng Shuang was already crying.
Gu Jieqing handed over a handkerchief with pity, and Yang Wuhui took a deep look at Gu Jieqing. How could this person be so meticulous?
If Meng Shuang knew that this was King Gu Yan of the Imperial City Division, I wonder what he would think?
Maybe the name Gu Yan Wang has not spread to such a remote Xichong!
Yang Wuhui asked some more questions and even looked at the place where the body was buried before saying goodbye and leaving.
On the way back, Gu Jieqing said, "Just go back like this?"
Yang Wugui asked back: "What else?"
Gu Jieqing said: "But the suspect hasn't been found yet. Should we do something more?"
Yang Wuhui said helplessly: "Who said there is no suspect? This Lady Meng is the suspect!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jieqing was stunned.
Is Lady Meng a suspect?
