The reason why this woman knew that the Night King and the Night Queen lived in Shenjia Village was because Governor Lu set fire to the village in an attempt to kill the Night King and the Night Queen. This news was widely known and caused public outrage, so she heard the news and found them. Came here.
Seeing that her forehead was bruised, Shen Yuyu also felt pity.
"Get up." Shen Yuyu called the woman up, then called her to sit in the main room, poured her a cup of tea, and said in a good voice, "What grievances does your daughter have? Tell her. '
"Yes, Princess Ye." The woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were swollen. She seemed to have been unable to sleep for many nights. She said sadly with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Mo, a civilian woman, is from Dayanggu County~~ '
In the woman's intermittent crying, Shen Yuyu understood the general story of what happened.
The woman, Mo, came from a well-to-do family and had only one daughter. More than a year ago, her daughter married a down-and-out scholar. Two months ago, her daughter suddenly disappeared. The scholar insisted that his wife had gone with a businessman from out of town, but the woman did not care. He didn't believe it either, so he decided that his daughter had been killed by his son-in-law.
"My daughter is knowledgeable about etiquette, integrity and etiquette. It is impossible for her to elope with others. She must have been murdered by Huang Xiucai. I beg Princess Ye to investigate thoroughly." The woman burst into tears.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Yuyu was reluctant to jump to conclusions and asked the woman silently.
"Auntie, think about it carefully. Is there anything wrong with your son-in-law?'
"Yes, yes, there are many things wrong with him." Mr. Mo nodded repeatedly, "My daughter has only been missing for two months, and Huang Xiucai has already married another man, and all my daughter's dowry also fell into his hands.'
The woman couldn't hold back her tears when she said this. It turned out that she and her husband, Gao Yuanwai, had a daughter in their late thirties. They cared for her and raised her like a baby. They gave her education and literacy, and she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The couple started a business and made a lot of money when they were young, and they wanted to find a son-in-law for their daughter who truly loved her.
Last year there was a locust plague in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many outsiders fled to Yanggu County. Gao Yuanwai and his wife were kind-hearted, so they set up a porridge shed outside the city to provide porridge. Among the refugees who came to the porridge shed to beg for food was Huang Xiucai.
"My daughter doesn't know why she was bewitched by him. She just gave him a bowl of porridge, and she fell in love with him at first sight and insisted on marrying him." Mrs. Mo's eyes were filled with tears.
"Then Huang Xiucai claimed to be a scholar and refused to be his son-in-law."
"Her father and I don't care about whether she comes to her or not. As long as her daughter lives a happy life, that's fine. After some discussion, her father and I gave most of the family property to her as a dowry."
"Who would have thought that my daughter would disappear inexplicably just a year after she was married!"
After the woman finished speaking, she began to cry miserably. After crying for a while, she raised her red and swollen eyes and said, "Princess Ye, do you believe in dreams? My daughter entrusts me with dreams every night, saying that she was killed by Huang Xiucai, wuwu Woo~~
Shen Yue couldn't tell whether she believed in dreams or not. She remembered that there was a wife-murder case in modern Taiwan. The murdered woman repeatedly gave dreams to her mother, identifying her husband as the one who killed her. The case was finally solved. case.
So she couldn't draw any conclusions about this kind of thing. Perhaps it was also possible that the victim's mother was determined that her son-in-law had killed her wife, and she thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night, so she dreamed about her daughter being in daycare.
But no matter what the truth of this matter was, she had to investigate. She wanted to see the person alive and dead, and she wanted to see the corpse. Even if her daughter ran away with a businessman from other places, she still had to find the person and let the matter come to light.
What's more, Lingzhou is about to become the fief of the Night King. As the Night King's concubine, she has the responsibility and obligation to make decisions for the people.
"If you want to find out this matter, you must first go see your son-in-law." Shen Yuyu said, "Don't worry, Aunt Mo, no matter what the whereabouts of your daughter, I will definitely help you find out."
"Thank you, Princess Ye, thank you Princess Ye." Mrs. Mo slid off the stool again and kept kowtowing.
In the morning of that day, Shen Yuyu packed up and prepared to go to Yanggu County.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, cousin Ying, I can't entertain you well." Shen Yue looked at Mo Suijun and Ying Ying with a humble expression, "You guys will cook your own meals, make your own medicine and take a bath these two days." , If I haven't come back after my illness is cured, I will lock the door and put the key in Uncle Shen's hand.'
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the journey back to Dali is long, so we have to start as soon as possible.
"Okay, cousin." Yingying was very happy. She didn't know how happy she was to have such an opportunity to be alone with Mo Suijun, and she was very happy.
Although Mo Suijun looked gentle and calm on the face, he felt gloomy in his heart.
This time we have to say goodbye, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I am afraid it will be difficult to see her again in this life. I only wish her happiness and peace.
The smile on his face was as plain as water, but the loss in his heart was unspeakable. After all, his fate with him was not enough. If he could meet her before the Night King, she might also fall in love with him, right?
After a long silence, all the words turned into a deep warning, "Sister Yu Yu, take care of me."
"Young Master Mo takes care of you, Cousin Ying takes care of you." Shen Yuyu bowed to Mo Suijun, ignoring the loneliness that appeared in his eyes, and joked with a smile, "Remember to bring a pair of 'Peace White Rabbits'" When we go back, our Kingdom of Zhou and Dali will always be friends."
After saying this, Shen Yuyu carried the baggage and walked out of the yard with his shadow.
Mo's carriage was waiting under the big locust tree. Seeing the shadow driving the carriage, she also ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, and the two carriages headed out of the village one after the other.
When passing by Uncle Shen's house, Shen Yuyu told them a few words and asked them to feed rabbits and so on, and then left Shenjia Village.
Yanggu County is adjacent to Wantian County. The Baijiacun Iron Mine happened in Yanggu County before. After that incident, Yanggu County changed its county magistrate. The new magistrate's surname seems to be Lei.
Although they are two neighboring counties, we still stayed overnight on the way and arrived at the county seat of Yanggu County the next afternoon.
Along the way, Shen Yuyu also chatted a lot with Mr. Mo, and learned that Mr. Mo's husband, Gao Yuanwai, also died of illness after his daughter disappeared, because his family's wealth was depleted by serving Gao Yuan as a foreign doctor.
However, all her daughter's dowry fell into the hands of her son-in-law. When a senior official fell ill and had no money for medical treatment, Mo wanted to come to raise some money, but Huang Xiucai kicked him out.
Before, Shen Yue thought that Miss Gao might elope with a businessman from out of town, but after hearing what Mo said, she felt that Huang Xiucai did have a motive for committing the crime.
