"Wait a minute, you said you work in the kitchen of Chengdong Jiaofangsi?" An Ying was a little surprised.
Huang Yu nodded, "The Jiaofang Division's monthly salary is higher, and the work is easier and faster."
"Is there a woman under the chef who was abandoned by a heartless man?" An Ying remembered what Feng Master said and wanted to verify it.
Huang Yu looked surprised and said, "It is true. I even told this matter as a story to my young lady and uncle."
An Ying scratched a mark in her notebook and quickly asked: "Who is that woman? How did you negotiate with Wang Qingyan?"
Huang Yu said: "That woman's name is Qiu Yueniang. She is a servant in the kitchen who cooks fires and kills fish and chickens. In fact, this matter has been spread among the cooks of Jiaofangsi for a long time. But in a place like Jiaofangsi, there are too many unfaithful people. Everyone It’s just a matter of hearing it. After all, they are all hard workers. They don’t even have enough to eat, so how can they be in the mood to care about other people’s affairs.”
"As for what my uncle and I said. Let me think about it. I heard that there was a poor woman from Jingzhou under the kitchen. My husband took the family money and went to the capital, but he never came back. I heard that he died in the capital. She went all the way from Jingzhou to the capital to move her husband's remains back to her hometown. But who would have expected that her husband was not dead, but had become a high official in the capital and married the daughter of a wealthy family. .”
"The miserable woman found her husband and wanted to ask for an explanation, but the husband refused to recognize her and gave her some money to go back to her hometown. That should be what she said."
"Then when did you see your uncle go to the Jiaofang Division? What was he doing in the Jiaofang Division?"
Huang Yu said, "Since my uncle made a lot of money by writing story books, I stopped working in the Jiaofang Division. But the guests of the Jiaofang Division liked the cheese I made, so Mrs. Lu, the chef of the Jiaofang Division, let me I go there and do it once every first and fifth day of the lunar month.”
"On the first day of this month, when I went to Jiaofangsi, I saw our uncle walking into Jiaofangsi. At that time, I felt strange that my uncle rarely went to these places. I followed him for a while, and he first talked to Jiaofangsi I talked to Bai Yongcheng, the chief music officer of the department, and then to several female prostitutes. Then I went up to the second floor, but I couldn't get up there. I talked to the lady after I came back."
Su Huangzhe, who had been listening, knocked on the table and said, "It was two years ago when you went to work in the Jiaofang Division, right? When did you and Wang Qingyan talk about Qiu Yueniang's affairs? When did Wang Qingyan write "Peach Red"?"
Huang Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, "I should have met Qiu Yueniang when I was working in the Jiaofang Division for half a year. At that time, she had just come to the Jiaofang Division. As soon as she had a break, she would go to Yizhuang outside the city to check on her husband. Probably A few months later, she once told me while killing fish that she was going back to her hometown, but she really couldn't find anyone. At that time, I advised her to stay in the capital. After all, there were many jobs here and she would have no problem making ends meet. Jingzhou is so far away, if you have any relatives at home, why bother?"
"She said that Beijing is not her hometown after all, and besides, she has an elderly aunt at home, so she wouldn't worry if she was left alone. We didn't say much. Then suddenly she came back and said that she had seen her husband, and he was not dead. Instead, she became an official in the capital and got a new wife. But her husband refused to recognize her and sent her away with only some money."
"Ms. Lu, who works in the kitchen, also knows about this, and she even persuaded her to come. She has been in the Jiaofang Department for a long time, and there are too many such things. How many female prostitutes have been deprived of their youth by men. Mrs. Lu said, you take it Forget about some money, a man who has changed his mind is like a smelly fish, and if he eats it reluctantly, he will have diarrhea. Qiu Yueniang said that she took the money bag her husband gave her and left tomorrow. Isn’t it easy to find a man with two legs? .”
"This happened at the beginning of last year. I mentioned it casually when I was serving the young lady and my uncle to dinner at home. Our young lady said that this story was good and asked my uncle to write it down."
"Our uncle was not very happy at first, so he wrote it casually, but he didn't expect it to sell very well. He wrote one episode after another. Now that he is about to write the finale, the price is getting better."
An Ying asked again: "Have you ever seen Wang Qingyan asking about someone? Who was he asking about?"
Huang Yu became excited when she heard this, and she said anxiously: "Yes, yes, if you think there is anything unusual, it's because my uncle was asking people on the street. Last month on the third or fifth day of the lunar month, it should be the fifth day of the lunar month. I saw with my own eyes that he asked people on the street. The patrolling police officers, did you see a woman going to the capital government office to file a complaint?"
"The police officer said no. My uncle was still a little surprised. Then I was about to go up and ask my uncle, but he disappeared again."
After Huang Yu was taken away, Guo Xi said: "These two people should be fine. Now we are investigating the case in two directions. One is to trace Wang Qingyan's affairs in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his relationship with Qi Guogong and Cheng Shilang. The second is to investigate Wang Qingyan's affairs in the Ministry of Household Affairs and his relationship with Duke Qi and Cheng Shilang. Trace the clues to Wang Qingyan’s identity as Mr. Qingluan and write the script.”
Guo Xi scratched the sparse hair on his head and said, "Master Su, you have to decide the direction. We only have enough manpower to follow one clue. I think if the three cases are connected, we still have to follow the first one. In this way, Wang Qingyan is We have to go through all the matters handled by the Accounts Department, which is a big project. And it involves auditing accounts, which is not what we are good at, and Mr. Chen will need to allocate a few capable people. "
Yun Pan crossed his legs and said, "I think this case is still unclear. Is Wang Qingyan's visit to the Jiaofang Division related to Minister Cheng? Don't rush to make a direction first, some things need to be investigated."
Su Huangzhe looked at An Ying, who had been drawing in a small notebook, and asked, "An Sizhi, what do you think?"
An Ying said: "I think it is a top priority to investigate the clues about Wang Qingyan's identity as Master Qingluan. As for the relationship with Cheng Shilang, I think we can let it go."
Yun Pan looked back at her, "Why did you say that?"
An Ying nodded and shook his head, "What Huang Yu said just now, plus what I heard from Jiang Acai last time, I think there are several doubts."
Guo Xi disapproved. He said to An Ying: "An Sizhi, are you paying too much attention to the story of "Peach Red"? Is this matter directly related to the case?"
Xiao Yi, who had never had a chance to speak, finally found an opportunity and said, "An Sizhi, do you think this murderer is not the same murderer as the previous two cases? The murderer of this case pays more attention to this storybook?"
Su Huangzhe looked at Xiao Yi and said with a smile: "Hey, why do you think so? Come on, let's talk."
Xiao Yi regained his energy and stood up and said: "Look, Master Qingluan's "Peach Red Story" sells hundreds of copies every day. This is only the number sold in the capital. In a few days, it will be sold in the south and north. The amount of money is hard to say. Especially now that there is only the finale, it must be the best-selling volume. This murderer must be someone sent by a bookstore. He can know it by stealing all Wang Qingyan's manuscripts from the scene. The purpose is To get money for the final manuscript.”
Su Huangzhe sighed, and Yun Pan also pressed his head and said, "That's very good. Don't say it next time."
Then he said to An Ying: "What is the doubt you are talking about?"
An Ying opened her little notebook and said while writing: "Jiang Acai said that he overheard the conversation between the two in the kitchen, which means that the husband knew that Qiu Yueniang was working under the chef of the Jiaofang, and he came to see her specially. "
"What kind of doubt is this?" Xiao Yi asked confused.
"The very important information in Huang Yu's story is that Qiu Yueniang saw her husband somewhere, and she had already met her husband, and the two of them reached an agreement after communicating. The process may not be very pleasant, at least Qiu Yueniang took the money and left. The matter is settled.”
"But when Jiang Acai heard the story in the kitchen, the husband was still discussing things with Qiu Yueniang in the Jiaofang Department, and the two had not reached an agreement."
Yun Pan frowned and said: "It is indeed doubtful. But don't you think we should focus on Wang Qingyan?"
