Chapter 19: Ask Clearly
"Master, please help me! Shopkeeper Tong's family has said that they all know that Mr. Kong asks you to help solve the cases in the Yamen six times out of ten. They are also afraid to go directly to the Yamen to find them.
Mr. Kong, if there is a big fuss and no one is caught, the Li family will have no way to survive, and then they will be forced to die!"
Hongguo was soft-hearted and had already felt sad and angry when he heard the servants from the Tong family talk about this. Now he tried his best to persuade Mu Liuyun, fearing that he would refuse the matter directly.
Mu Liuyun was not very interested in the tender and plump wet nurse of the Tong family at first, but after hearing the whole process, he became more energetic.
This is really what happened when someone handed me a pillow when I was sleepy. What I had been unable to do just now was suddenly solved!
"Okay, you go and tell someone who is from the Tong family and wait at the door. I will go to Master Yuan and report to him and then let him pass!" Mu Liuyun waved to Hongguo cheerfully.
Hong Guo was so happy that she turned around and ran away.
Mu Liuyun, who had responded quickly, also walked briskly and walked quickly to the side courtyard. Yuan Jia was standing there with a stinking face, and had no intention of getting out of the way when he saw him coming. Mu Liuyun didn't mind at all.
, he happened to not want to go in either.
"Master, are you busy, Master Yuan? Could you please tell Master Yuan that a businessman who is familiar with me in the county has something going on at home, and he asked me to come over and help. I just wanted to tell Master Yuan, but I can't rush it in time."
What a coincidence..." Mu Liuyun smiled guiltily at Yuan Jia and cupped his hands, "Thank you, sir, I'm going out right now."
Yuan Jia rolled his eyelids, turned around and went in without even bothering to say anything to him.
Mu Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief quietly and walked out with brisk steps. Before he had gone far, he heard someone behind him calling "Mr. Mu". In the Mu family's house, only the three masters and servants named Yuan could call him that.
There was no one else around, so he quickly stopped and turned around to see Yuan Yi walking quickly towards this side.
"Siili Mu, please stay!" Yuan Yi's attitude towards Mu Liuyun has always been much more polite than Yuan Jia's, and it is the same now. He put on a polite smile and said to him in a friendly manner, "My father said that he is idle.
, since there is no news about the headless corpse yet, why not just go with Mu Sili and see Mu Sili’s method of resolving matters."
"They are all trivial matters. I dare not bother Mr. Yuan..." Mu Liuyun quickly wanted to refuse.
"Sir Mu, please don't be polite!" Yuan Yi smiled with a hint of helplessness, "The manager has many female relatives at home. If the manager is not at home, it seems that the three of us will be inconvenienced here. It is better to go out and talk to Mu Si.
Let’s turn around together.”
Mu Liuyun was speechless.
Yuan Yi said that "there are many female relatives" is quite polite, and it sounds much better than the description given by the outside world. Although Yuan Mu came from an extraordinary background, it was rumored that he was moody and unpredictable. He never discussed the marriage, and his back house was even more clean.
There was not even a trace of a woman, not to mention the two brothers Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi. They were just a pair of chopsticks - two bachelors.
There are many female relatives in this family. In addition to the maids, there are several others who, like Chang Yueshan, were temporarily kept at home without any name or status. It is not unreasonable for Yuan Mu's master and servant to want to avoid suspicion.
Seeing that there was no room for rejection, Mu Liuyun could only politely hand over to Yuan Yi: "It would be great if Lord Ti Xing goes with him!"
While Mu Liuyun was waiting for a cup of tea at the door, Yuan Mu came with two brothers, A and B. Yuan Mu was wearing a moon-colored dress with wide sleeves and a gauze turban on his head. He looked like an ordinary man.
of Confucian scholars.
But he still had the black and slender sword hanging on his waist.
In these days, who has seen any Confucian scholar hanging such a long sword filled with murderous intent on his waist?
Mu Liuyun opened his mouth, originally wanting to remind Yuan Mu that if he wanted to travel in casual clothes and pretend to be a Confucian scholar, he had better put away his sword.
But when the words came to his mouth, he gave up the idea again, thinking that after all, it was not appropriate to have a superficial conversation. This sword seemed to be quite important to him. If he accidentally got into trouble, he would be a sesame mung bean.
Officer, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and have to walk around.
Furthermore, let alone any praises such as being handsome and majestic, let’s just talk about Yuan Mu’s eyes, which are as sharp as an eagle. Who has ever seen a Confucian scholar who has been busy all day long have such eyes?
?
A discerning person will know at a glance that this person is definitely not an ordinary scholar, so it doesn't matter what the sword looks like.
"Sir, we are going to the shopkeeper Tong's house at Tongji Cloth Shop in the county. It's not far from here. We can just walk there." Mu Liuyun greeted him respectfully, with a smile on his face.
Anyway, he had already made up his mind not to hit the smiling man. During the time when Yuan Mu was in Taiping County, he would do everything thoroughly so that Yuan Mu could not find fault, and then everything would be fine.
No matter how picky Yuan Mu is, no matter what happens, Lord Ti Xing will always be right, that's all!
"Yuan's trip is not for official business, he is just going to visit with Mr. Mu as a friend." Yuan Mu responded calmly.
Mu Liuyun understood this and immediately boldly changed his mind and signaled: "Brother Yuan, please come this way!"
A group of four people left Mu's house and walked through the busy streets of Taiping County before arriving at a quiet alley. From a distance, Mu Liuyun saw Jiang Jin waiting at the entrance of the alley and hurriedly waved to him.
beckoned.
Jiang Jin saw Mu Liuyun and the three masters and servants who came with him, and was slightly stunned.
Although Yuan Mu went out in casual clothes and did not intend to go to Tong's house to ask for some prison business, Jiang Jin was also the secretary of Jiangzhou Prefecture after all. If he did not explain his identity, there would be some slight inadvertence.
It is always bad to offend this man.
With this in mind, Mu Liuyun motioned Jiang Jin to come forward and introduced him politely: "Brother Jiang, this is Mr. Yuan Mu, Mr. Yuan, who is responsible for the prison affairs in Gyeonggi Road. Mr. Yuan, this is our Jiang Jin.
The governor of the prefecture, Jiang Jin, grew up with me and is from the same school. I just sent someone to invite him here to see if he can be of any help in a while."
Jiang Jin originally thought that the popularity of Mu Liuyun who came with him was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. When he thought of the distinguished guests at home that Mu Liuyun mentioned the day before, he felt at ease, and he quickly respectfully greeted Yuan
The pastor salutes.
Yuan Mu stood with his hands behind his hands, looked Jiang Jin over, and nodded slightly: "I'm not here today as a prisoner, and you won't be too polite if I stay later."
Jiang Jin quickly said yes, turned around and led a few people towards Tong's house in the alley. While walking side by side with Mu Liuyun and leading the way, he silently gave Mu Liuyun a surprised look, and Mu Liuyun replied to him.
With helpless looks in their eyes, neither of them had any other expression.
