The murderer could not be located at the scene, Master Zhou could only bring a few people related to the murder back to the Yamen.

The onlookers also dispersed one after another.

Wei Dashu and Wei Xiaojin wiped away their tears and cleaned up the stall, planning to go home and find the adults.

Wei Yan walked over with a cart and stood in front of the stall for a while, seeing that the two were busy with their own business, and no one saw her, so she knocked on the wooden basin containing the meat.

"Bang bang!"

"Ah..." The two brothers were startled, and they both took a step back, only to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Wei Yan.

Wei Xiaojin slammed the bench onto the cart and said angrily, "Come on, come on, knock what you want."

"Wouldn't the meat be spoiled after taking it back like this?" Wei Yan asked.

"Then what to do, who would dare to buy it." Wei Xiaojin pointed to a big puddle of blood next to him, "You know about this, it's really unlucky to die today."

"I know, sister Erya will be fine." Wei Yan pretended to be concerned.

Wei Dashu said: "It's not like we killed people, it's okay." Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Wei Yan, "What do you use for hunting? They went to investigate Orion."

Wei Yan knowingly asked: "Of course it's a hatchet, what's wrong?"

Wei Dashu and Wei Xiaojin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained the matter in detail, and at the end they specifically told Wei Yan that she insisted that she was just trying her luck in hunting.

Wei Yan was taught humbly, and pointed to the north, "There are still a lot of people. Let's go to another place and sell it cheaper. After all, we can't just throw it away. Let's go." She couldn't see anyone wasting food.

Wei Dashu refused: "Forget it, how can I still have that kind of thought now, such a big thing happened, I have to go home and report it."

Wei Yan was about to refute, but Wei Xiaojin spoke up first, "If you're not in the mood, you have to sell, brother, you go back, my third sister and I stay here."

"This..." Wei Dashu hesitated. After the family separation, they became estranged from the third uncle's family a lot. He was not sure that Wei Yan would help.

"Go ahead, leave it to me and my second brother." Wei Yan said, the trouble was caused by her, and she should naturally do the finishing work - she can't justly harm Brother Wei Dashu just because she helped Qin Zai.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Wei Dashu put the kitchen knife into the box, patted Wei Yan's shoulder gratefully, turned around and headed towards Li's Village.

"Can anyone still buy it?" Wei Xiaojin said that he was a bachelor, but he was still a little uneasy.

Wei Yan set up the cart and left, "You'll know when it's sold."

……

The two set up their stalls outside the vegetable market.

Wei Yan shouted loudly, "Braised meat, braised meat, it's cheap! Seventeen cents a catty, it's only one day!"

"Could it be a dream? Someone died just now, and it's not too bad luck for anyone who would dare to buy your meat."

Wei Yan followed the voice and saw Xu Shuangshuang walking over triumphantly with arms folded, followed by a sunny and handsome young man with almond eyes and a high nose, whose temperament was somewhat similar to Xu's, probably it was her Cheap big cousin.

"Seventeen cents a catty, it's a cheap sale at a loss!" Wei Yan looked away after only one glance, and continued to shout.

It was originally sold for 25 coins, but now it has been reduced by [-] coins, and you can buy half a catty of raw meat. Anyone who doesn't buy it is a fool.

Sure enough, soon a rich old lady came up to her, "Girl, I want two catties."

Wei Yan said with a smile: "It's better for the aunt to think about it. If you want me to say that it is true that it is cheap and affordable, don't you always say so?"

The old lady had a bit of pride in her eyes, and said with a smile: "My old lady was there at the time, that kind of person should end up that way, what does it have to do with such delicious meat? I don't care what other people think, I The old lady buried half of it in the soil, she didn't care about that, she came and weighed it quickly, and hurried back to have lunch."

"Okay!" Wei Xiaojin heaved a sigh of relief, and weighed two catties neatly.

Seeing off the old lady, Wei Yan yelled a few more times, and those fellow villagers who usually want to eat but are reluctant to buy it rushed up one after another.

Chen Shuangshuang was left on the sidelines, her face was sorely beaten by the villagers, she wanted to get angry, but she couldn't find someone to vent her anger on, so she said loudly to her brother Xu Fei, "Brother, it's a good thing you retired, otherwise there would be such a Sister-in-law is quite embarrassing."

Xu Fei warned her: "Little sister, be careful." After speaking, he walked towards Wei Xiaojin and greeted her, "Xiaojin is busy, do you want to help?"

Wei Xiaojin was not as good-tempered as Wei Dashu, so he glanced at Wei Yan and ignored him.

Xu Fei smiled awkwardly, and said to Wei Yan: "Cousin, you..."

"Wei Lan and Qin Zai have been taken to the yamen. I'm busy here. If you want to know the details, you can either ask them." Wei Yan pointed at the people around with her chin, "or go to the yamen."

"Hey, this is Xu Fei's cousin who retired from the engagement. She has a pretty good personality and is cheerful. There is nothing wrong with her except for black spots."

"Hey, what boy doesn't love to be pretty?"

"Yes, it's just a little unkind."

The two sang together and even rhymed, which caused a burst of laughter.

Xu Fei blushed with shame, turned around and left.

Xu Shuangshuang stomped her feet, pointed at Wei Yan and screamed: "My brother is not that kind of person, what nonsense are you talking about! She dared to kill her second sister with a knife, who dares to marry such a tigress?"

"Her second sister, hasn't her second sister been selling stewed pork for several days? Where did it get chopped?" Someone asked.

Wei Xiaojin replied: "I didn't cut it anywhere. My sisters are joking around, and outsiders take it seriously." He chopped the knife on the cutting board, and gave Xu Shuangshuang a hard look, "Don't forget, she is your daughter." Dear cousin, the marriage is retired, what else do you want?"

"I……"

"Don't be ashamed, hurry back with me!" Xu Fei turned back and dragged Xu Shuangshuang away.

……

In the flower hall of the second hall of the county government office.

Wei Lan and Qin Zai stood side by side, waiting for Mr. Zhou's inquiry.

"Qin Zai, your father is Orion."

Qin Zai cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my father is a hunter. He brought two uncles from the village into the mountain early this morning, and he usually returns in two days."

"Oh..." Master Zhou nodded, that is to say, Orion Qin had an alibi, "Miss Wei, where is your family? Is there anyone hunting?"

Wei Lan hesitated, and said, "My lord, no one in Minnv's house used to hunt, but now... Minnv's third sister can hunt some game."

"Oh?" Master Zhou frowned, "How old is she, does she have a bow and arrow? Is she in town today?"

Wei Lan was about to answer when Qin Zai coughed lightly.

She tilted her head to look at him, and seeing that he didn't make any further comments, she said, "My lord, the third sister of Minnv is 12 years old, and she is indeed in town today."

Achilles immediately stood up from the lower seat, strode up to Wei Lan, put the bloody arrow in front of her, and asked, "What arrow did she use, is it this?"

"This..." Wei Lan said in deliberation, "She only started hunting after the separation of the family, and she doesn't know what kind of arrow she uses."

Qin Zai coughed again, and said to Acne, "Mr. Liu, although Wei Sanya hunts, she doesn't use arrows, she only uses hatchets. The Wei family doesn't have money to buy bows and arrows. Everyone in the village knows that."

It turned out that Qin Zai didn't want to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Wei Yan.

Wei Lan knew that she would be mistaken for Qin Zai, her face became hot, and she quickly added: "This is true. If it weren't for being so poor and helpless, women wouldn't come out to make such a living and bring about such disasters."

"Looking at you makes me look down on you." Acne muttered dissatisfiedly.

A trace of hatred flashed in Mr. Zhou's eyes, he shook his head, and asked, "Master Liu, Mr. Wang, I heard that Mr. Lu was involved in a life lawsuit on the way back from the provincial capital, is that right?"

Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang in the peach red gown hesitated for a moment, and they looked at each other. Mr. Liu said, "Lord Zhou, one yard is one yard. That matter has nothing to do with this case."

Master Zhou smiled slightly, "I heard that the incident was a big one. I think it's not impossible for someone to seek revenge."

At this time, the master standing behind him suddenly said, "My lord, the students heard that people from Meiyuan have been active in the provincial capital recently."

Meiyuan is a killer organization that makes all the civil and military officials of the Dashun Dynasty feel like a thorn in their throats. The court has made a large-scale confiscation several times, but it has always had little effect.

Anyone who knows the existence of Meiyuan knows that the killers of Meiyuan generally have two reasons for killing people: one is to collect money from people to eliminate disasters, and the other is to help people when they see injustices on the road. mean.

The people in Meiyuan are not the active Lei Feng who fight against the strong and help the weak. They kill people just out of interest.

It is not impossible for Mr. Lu to force a girl's mother to death in the street and be targeted and assassinated by the killers of Renmeiyuan.

Mr. Liu immediately frowned, slapped someone high, and said, "Impossible! It's not the first time for him... Forget it, let's not talk about Meiyuan, but continue to talk about her third sister. Since he can hunt, Mr. Zhou should be called Come and ask, if it doesn’t work, just use punishment, and there will always be something to gain.”

Master Zhou snorted coldly, "I don't need Mr. Liu to teach me to handle the case."

……

When Wei Yan arrived at the county government office, it was already afternoon application time.

After kneeling and saluting, Wei Yan just stood up when she received a wink from Wei Lan, who didn't know if it was a warning or an apology.

Wei Yan didn't want to play guessing games with her, so he just pretended he didn't see it.

Master Zhou asked: "Wei Yan, where were you when the incident happened?"

Wei Yan said: "I was also there to watch the excitement." She can be sure that no one noticed her when she climbed the tree, but she can't guarantee that no one saw her when the crowd watched, so she must tell the truth.

"Then it must be her!" Mr. Liu stood up again, pointed at Wei Yan and shouted, "Catch her."

Lord Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to ask: "I heard that you are courageous and strong. Not only can you hunt wild boars, but you can also save the nobleman from the kidnappers. Now your second sister is being harassed by Mr. Lu, why don't you help? "

Wei Yan shook her head, "Responding to my lord's words, Minnv doesn't want to help. She looks down on me and my whole family. She pulls her brothers and sisters to do business together, and leaves me alone. Why should I help her? Besides... "

She pointed at Qin Zai, "With him here, and my elder brother and second brother also there, they can't do anything, what can I do?"

"This..." This makes sense, Mr. Zhou nodded.

He helped Zhenbei Hou Shizi to investigate Wei's family, and the situation is like this, Wei Sanya has a violent temper, and has a bad relationship with all the brothers and sisters of Wei's family, she really has no reason to take risks for Wei Lan.

"Lord Zhou, don't listen to her lies, she must have done it." Mr. Liu wanted to let Wei Yan take the lead.It was his idea to go to the provincial capital to play. Now that he is dead, his father will not be able to explain to the Lu family if he does not catch the murderer as soon as possible.
