Inside the gloomy and damp dungeon.

Mu Erhe, wearing prison uniforms and shackles, was taken to the outside interrogation room.

Since he was imprisoned, Mu Erhe seemed to have become a teenager, with dirty and messy hair, his eyes were dull and without any energy.

Chen Mu had no sympathy for this beast who attacked his niece.

He looked at Mu Erhe coldly, and his tone was cold:

"Mu Erhe, I came to you today to ask about some of the situations in your elder brother's house. You must answer honestly. If you have any concealment, I will not forgive you!"

"If you want to ask, please ask, Xiaomin will never hide it."

Mu Erhe knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse.

Chen Mu habitually took out a small notebook and a charcoal pen and asked coldly: "What is the relationship between Mu Dahe and Mu Xianger on weekdays?"

“It’s very average.”

Mu Erhe shook his head. "In the eyes of the elder brother, my daughter is a product for takeaway."

"Commodity? Talk about it in detail."

Chen Mu stared at him.

Mu Erhe replied obediently: "I remember when Mu Xianger was eleven years old, she almost sold her to an old landlord from another country as a concubine.

However, the imperial court had long stipulated that women should not marry if they were under the age of sixteen, nor should they sell themselves as maids before they were twelve, otherwise their parents would be punished. After the local county magistrate found out, he stopped the deal.

But the eldest brother didn't give up and planned to sell it secretly, but who knew that the girl accidentally broke her leg and finally gave up."

Listening to the other party's statement, Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

In other words, Mu Dahe has a strong sense of favoring boys over girls.

Sell ​​my daughter completely as a commodity.

Perhaps he guessed what Chen Mu thought, Wenmingren said lightly:

"Although the court has encouraged the people to have more girls in recent years, and the Queen Mother has issued several orders to grant subsidies, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has not improved much.

A man passes on his family line, and a daughter loses money to trade.

In fact, there are such incidents of selling daughters in many places, and there are many people like Mu Dahe."

Chen Mu was in a heavy mood.

Not to mention ancient times, this situation occasionally occurs in some extremely backward areas of modern society.

He wrote a few words on his notebook and asked again: "How is Mu Xianger's relationship with her mother."

"It's average."

Mu Erhe said.

Chen Mu was a little dissatisfied with this answer: "What does it mean is average."

Mu Erhe smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Mu loves her daughter, but she is just a weak woman after all, and she is also afraid of her husband. Sometimes when she sees her husband beating her daughter drunk, she chooses to watch."

Typical ordinary little woman.

Chen Mu labeled the woman.

"What did her family react to Mu Xianger's blind date?"

Chen Mu asked.

Mu Erhe looked a little confused: "This little guy doesn't understand."

Chen Mu sneered: "This blind date was brought up by your wife Li, at least she mentioned something."

Mu Erhe lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:

"It seems that my wife said that Mu Xianger's mother is very supportive of this blind date, but her father seems not happy because the other party's family is not wealthy and may not be able to provide a good gift."

Just because I can't get a good gift?

Chen Mu stroked his chin and pieced together the information he knew in his mind bit by bit.

The case has fallen into a dead end so far.

According to the timeline, Mu Xiang'er was first killed by the snake demon and devoured his soul, and then her parents and brother were burned to death one after another. During this period, the Ju Chunlou snake demon soul exchange incident occurred...

From the overall perspective of the case, there seems to be a mess, but there is a hidden line that is always interspersed with it.

"But if you change the timeline..."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed slightly.

Seeing Wen Mingren beside him seemed a little bored, Chen Mu tore off a piece of paper and wrote the question and handed it to him: "Sir Wen, come and interrogate it next."

"What about you?"

Wen Mingren took the paper and glanced down, his face a little strange.

Chen Mu took out a stack of transcripts as thick as a brick from the bag he carried with him, and smiled helplessly:

"These records are registered by people who have had contact with the Mu family in Maling County. I have to look at them one by one to find out if there are any clues. If Lord Wen is interested, we can also change them. Can you see the records?"

"I'll interrogate."

Seeing such a thick record, Wen Mingren felt that his head was about to crack and said quickly.

"good"

Chen Mu smiled slightly and left the interrogation room.

...

After leaving the prison, Chen Mu planned to find a quiet place to read the transcripts.

By chance, when I walked out of the door, I saw the beautiful woman Meng Yanqing walking towards the county government, wearing a light blue dress, as delicate as a peony.

"aunt."

Chen Mu greeted him, "Come to find Awei?"

Looking at Chen Mu's face, Meng Yanqing's lacquered eyes burst into a little complex expression, and then said sadly: "Is Xiaowei here?"

"Not here, he goes...uh, you know."

Chen Mu shrugged.

Meng Yanqing smiled bitterly and gently pointed his head: "I had a fight with him in the morning. Maybe he was talking a little too hard. The child left in anger without even eating breakfast. Later, I thought about it and planned to come over and have a good chat with him."

"If you didn't agree, that boy said you let him decide."

Chen Mu was a little surprised.

A strange emotion emerged from Meng Yanqing's clear eyes:

"It's not that I didn't agree. If he really liked it, it would be fine, it's just... it's still good to find a good woman."

In this society, reputation is very important to individuals.

Marrying a brothel woman is incredible in the end.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I understand your aunt, but now Zhang Awei is obsessed with it and can't listen to anything he says. I'm lucky, that maid is really a good match. In short, don't bother, let him go."

As a person from the 21st century, Chen Mu didn't have much malice towards such women, so he could make fun of it at most.

Let's talk about it...

In that era, it was already very good to find a handy item in college.

Meng Yanqing's expression was bitter and silent.

Looking at the woman's sad and entangled appearance, Chen Mu said:

"Let's go to your house first and wait. The boy will definitely bring a woman to the house after he redeems it. Let's see what happens? It just so happens that I still have some official duties to deal with, so I will lend it to my aunt's house for use."

“…it’s good.”

The woman hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.

Chen Mu casually called a carriage. When he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly saw a monk standing not far away.

The other party put his hands together and was staring at him.

There was a smile on the corner of her lips.

This monk was the fake monk who said his wife was a demon that night.

Chen Mu ignored him and boarded the carriage with Meng Yanqing.

After driving for a while, Chen Mu lifted up the window curtains and looked at it, and found that the monk was still standing there.

It was just a back to him, as if he was talking to someone.

Chen Mu tried hard to look at it, and only saw a touch of agile green dress looming at the corner.

The other party sat on the stone pier of the bridge head, shaking his slender calves.

I can't see my face clearly.

But the figure is a little familiar-

Qingluo?
