The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Chapter 98 Our business

Jiang Si heard this, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Through inquiring information from the little novice, she guessed that the girl most likely to be related to the female corpse in the garden of Changxing Houfu was the girl from Mr. Li's house in Dayang Town.

A Fei found out that Miss Li came to Lingwu Temple to offer incense today, but the little novice said that Miss Li had not come for a while.

It was the little novice who didn't notice that Miss Li went to Lingwu Temple, or it was deliberately concealed - thinking of the innocent smile of the little novice, Jiang Si shook her head slightly.

There are so many pilgrims coming to Lingwu Temple, the little novice may not have noticed.

But the person she thought was most related was linked to Lingwu Temple, and a murder happened in Lingwu Temple——

Jiang Si pondered for a moment and instructed Ah Man to call Ah Fei.

"Girl, what are your orders?" A Fei slipped into the inn quietly.

"How many places did you inquire about today?"

"I have inquired about two towns and five villages in total..." A Fei reported to Jiang Si where he ran, "I haven't heard of any major incident in anyone's family."

"Is Big Yang Town far from here?"

"It's not far, only a few miles away."

Jiang Xi looked up at the sky.

The sun will not fall, dyeing the western sky a warm orange-red, the whole sky is still bright, and it is still too early to hold the lamp.

"What does Master Li's house do?"

"Master Li is a famous wealthy family in Dayang Town. It is said that he is also a master scholar..." Ah Fei spoke eloquently about the situation.

In Dazhou, it is not so easy to test for a scholar. Many scholars can't get rid of the identity of a child in their entire life. Especially in such a small town, it is the glory of the whole town to have a scholar.

Hearing what Ah Fei said, Jiang seemed to understand that Mr. Li had some fame in Dayang Town.

"Has the accidental death of a monk in Lingwu Temple spread to Dayang Town?"

"When I was rushing back, I heard people talking on the way."

The pilgrims who go to Lingwu Temple to offer incense come from all over the country, and the news will spread at an astonishing speed.

Jiang Xi frowned in thought.

Ah Fei looked at Jiang-like expression, very winked and silent.

After about a cup of tea, Jiang Si finally made up his mind: "A Fei, you hired some idlers to report to Master Li's house in Dayang Town, saying that Miss Li was pushed into the well in the back mountain of Lingwu Temple and killed. , if they don't hurry up to salvage, don't even think about avenging Miss Li again..."

A Fei was stunned: "Girl, what evidence is there for this?"

Jiang Si pursed her lips: "At this time of panic, if Master Li really loves his daughter, this kind of rumor is enough."

She is not sure if something happened to Miss Li. If she guesses correctly, at least one person will not be confused. If she guesses wrong, people will laugh at the reputation of the Li family for a while at most, and there will be no real loss.

Most importantly, she had a hunch that Miss Li might be the key to unraveling this fog.

"Afei, go, don't be stunned."

A Fei hesitated for a while: "Girl, we are outsiders after all, who knows that those idlers can be unreliable-"

Jiang Si smiled: "If you give enough money, you are reliable. If you still feel unreliable, it means that the money is not enough..."

Ah Fei slapped his forehead: "The girl is right!"

Wasn't he that kind of idler before, as long as he gave money, let alone spread a word, he would do it even if he ran naked!

Ah Fei clasped his fists and left, Jiang Si was about to go back to the house, but found Yu Jin walking over.

"You think that Miss Li is in the well?"

Jiang Si looked at him with a sullen face: "Do you like to eavesdrop on other people's speech so much?"

"I didn't eavesdrop, but my ear is better." Yu Jin smiled helplessly, "Miss Jiang, don't argue about this at this time, let's get down to business."

"Young Master Yu, this is my business." Jiang Si said expressionlessly.

How can I get rid of this dog skin plaster?

Yu Jin stared at Jiang Si intently, and suddenly smiled: "It's not up to you, it's our business. Don't forget that night—"

Jiang Xi secretly took a deep breath,

Decided not to talk too fast with the other party, and the topic turned to business: "The time doesn't match."

After thinking about it, Yu Jinliu understood: "Miss Li is here today to offer incense, and the well water won't produce peculiar smell so fast, which means that even if someone really dies in the well, it is unlikely to be Miss Li. Since that's the case. , why did you order that kid to spread the word—"

"I just think that the reason for the peculiar smell of the well water should have little to do with Miss Li, but this does not mean that Miss Li, who has not returned home for a long time, has no accident."

Yu Jin smiled and nodded: "That's true."

Jiang Si looked up at the gorgeous sunset, and said softly: "Besides, second brother doesn't really want to know if there are corpses in the well, just to make him feel at ease."

Yu Jin touched his nose.

He hates brother-sister relationship the most!

"This is for you." Yu Jin handed the paper folded into a square to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si looked at the paper and didn't take it immediately: "What is this?"

Shouldn't you write some nonsense?

"If I dare not look, I will put it away."

Jiang Si glanced at him and said lightly: "I really don't want to see it, I'm leaving."

Yu Jin grabbed her wrist and sighed, "How come you are always ready to prick people like a hedgehog, and you don't cooperate at all?"

"Let go!"

"Okay, since you're not interested in seeing if there are any missing girls in the surrounding villages, then I'll burn this piece of paper."

Jiang Si suddenly turned his head and stared at the neatly folded paper, unable to look down for a while.

Yu Jin smiled and shoved the paper into her hand: "Okay, I begged you to see it, look at it."

Amidst the gentle and indulgent laughter of the other party, Jiang Si suddenly felt that his face was hot, and he didn't dare to look into his eyes, and hurriedly opened the paper.

A lot of information was densely recorded on the paper, and Jiang seemed to have heard the names of several villages and towns from the mouth of the little novice.

She couldn't help looking at the young man in front of her.

Yu Jin didn't give a shit and said with a smile, "I'm one step ahead of you. I borrowed the register of donated pilgrims while donating the sesame oil money, and then sent someone to check according to the names that often appeared in the booklet. However, from the results Look, the villages and towns within a radius of 30 miles do not have the information that Miss Jiang wants."

The roster records how much sesame oil money someone has donated. Of course, it will not have only one name, but where the pilgrims are from, such as the daughter of Li’s family in Dayang Town, etc.

Holding the paper note for a moment of silence, Jiang Si still said, "Thank you."

The teenager showed a bright smile: "Thank you, I said, this is our business."

"I'll study the information on the paper first." Jiang Si hurried away holding the paper.

Yu Jin stood alone for a while, the smile deepening in his eyes.

The people of Qingniu Town were still gathered outside in groups of three or five to discuss the accident in Lingwu Temple, and at this time, a group of people in Dayang Town went to Lingwu Temple in a mighty manner.
