The three of them quickly returned to the county government office. Yun Yaru sat in the study and thought about the appearance of the man he was talking about.

Because she described too little, she could not draw images at all, but the pair of peach blossom eyes she mentioned attracted Yun Yaru's attention.

Yun Yaru thought carefully in her mind that she saw those people in Qian Mansion, and suddenly the faces of two people appeared in front of her.

One is Qian Haoran, the second son of Qian’s mansion; the other is the shopkeeper of Lanshan Pavilion, but he has something to do with Aunt Li of Qian’s mansion.

It seems that the most important thing now is to check these two people. Yun Yaru thought about it, so she asked Sijiu to call Captain Xiao in.

"Sir, are you calling me?" Captain Xiao nodded.

Yun Yaru thought about it and briefly explained her guess.

"Sir, don't worry, I'll arrange for some of them to go to Lanshan Pavilion to secretly monitor the shopkeeper."

"As soon as he comes into contact with Aunt Li, I will immediately ask someone to take him back to the county government."

"As for Mr. Qian's second son, his subordinates will send someone to investigate some situations from their family members. I believe there will be new progress in no time."

Yun Yaru nodded.

Captain Xiao felt that the new Yu County Magistrate in front of him was indeed very fast in his service.

They have not yet confirmed the murderer who killed Qian Haoyu, and Yun Yaru has already settled two candidates here.

"Captain Xiao, the rest of the Qian family cannot let go for the time being. You should continue to send someone to watch it. If there is any situation, come back and tell me." Yun Yaru thought about it, but couldn't help but instruct.

Although Captain Xiao didn't know why Yun Yaru was focusing on Mr. Qian and Aunt Li while continuing to pay attention to the Qian Mansion, he still nodded.

"I'm not here to arrange people."

"That's going to be troublesome."

Captain Xiao didn't expect Yun Yaru to be so polite to him, and he felt flattered. This was something that the county magistrate had never before.

...

Time flies very quickly, and another day passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, Captain Xiao hurried in from outside.

"Sir!" Captain Xiao's tone was quite excited at this time.

Yun Yaru knew that she must have been secretly monitoring the situation and made progress, otherwise Captain Xiao would not be able to stop rising from the corner of his mouth.

"Captain Xiao, what did you find?" Yun Yaru asked hurriedly.

Captain Xiao took a cup of tea and drank it. Then he slowly spoke: "I didn't expect that I was really accused of it by the adults."

Yun Yaru was so angry that she was caught by Captain Xiao’s words, and her heart felt like she was scratched by a cat.

Captain Xiao saw the expression of County Magistrate Yun at this time, and he did not waste time.

"We had a yamen runner secretly following us and found out that Aunt Li went out of the mansion to secretly meet the shopkeeper Yu in Lanshan Pavilion."

"The two of them didn't know what they said inside, but Aunt Li looked much more relaxed after coming out."

"Has Qian Haoran, the second son of the Qian family, had any abnormal actions recently?" Yun Yaru was silent for a moment and asked.

"We learned through some maids and servants inside that he had been much more diligent in Mrs. Qian's yard during this period than before." Captain Xiao thought for a while.

"A servant secretly told us that he had met Aunt Li in Qian Haoran's yard and it seemed that the relationship was quite close."

"Then please, Captain Xiao, call the maids and servants who told you about the situation in Qian's house to come to the county government." Yun Yaru thought about it carefully.

Captain Xiao nodded, hurried outside and lowered his head to explain to Zhang Tinghai for a few words, then turned around and walked back into the house.

Two servants and a maid from Qian's mansion soon arrived at the county government.

As soon as the three of them entered the inner hall, they saw Yun Yaru sitting in the center and Captain Xiao next to them, and were all a little nervous.

These three people are not old. After coming in, they have been looking around, holding the hem of their clothes tightly with their hands, sweat comes out of their hands, and never thinks of letting go.

Yun Yaru's eyes glanced back and forth in the eyes of the three of them for a moment, but her voice was very dull, "You three come to the county government today, can you know why the county wants you to come here?"

When the three of them heard Yun Yaru's words, they were so scared that they trembled and said in unison: "I am a servant/I don't know."

Yun Yaru lowered her eyes and looked at the three of them, but there was no expression on her face, and she looked a little scary.

Seeing the three of them nervously, Captain Xiao kindly reminded him.

One of the servants who were in the voice change period stammered and said, "That day the butler asked me to come to find the second young master, but unexpectedly, he saw Aunt Li in the second young master's yard."

Speaking of this, the servant's face changed and hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should continue talking.

"Captain Xiao, please take them to the house next to you first." Yun Yaru looked at the servant in front of her and pondered for a moment.

"Now there are no one else in the room." Yun Yaru looked down at him after the two of them left.

The servant looked behind him with some concern and confirmed that the two people had left the house just now, and then he made up his mind.

"Master Yun, I hope you don't tell the rest of the Qian Mansion?" The servant was afraid that Yun Yaru would not believe it, and even knelt heavily on the ground.

"The county will not easily inform others of everyone's testimony, but it will be excluded if it has a significant relationship with the case." Yun Yaru's words undoubtedly gave the servant a reassurance.

"Then can you tell the county now, your name?"

"The little one is Qiufeng, who is already serving in the Grand Prince's Courtyard." Qiufeng raised his head and looked at Yun Yaru after saying that.

"Qiufeng, then you can continue to talk about the previous thing now." Yun Yaru signaled him to continue.

Qiu Feng still stuttered a little, but his condition was much better than before.

"The little one accidentally found the secret of the second young master, that is, the second young master and Aunt Li were a little too close."

Yun Yaru cleared her throat, "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. After all, if this matter is spread, it will probably damage Aunt Li's reputation."

Although Qiu Feng was still a little scared, he subconsciously replied, "The little one did not deceive the adults."

"Then your second son and Aunt Li can't have discovered your existence."

"When the young man entered, Aunt Li and the second young master discovered it. At that time, the young man saw Aunt Li and the second young master's expressions a little flustered, especially Aunt Li's clothes were even more messy."

Qiu Feng looked at Yun Yaru with a swearing expression, as if she was afraid that she would not believe it.

Yun Yaru didn't care about this, but changed the topic, "I think the second young master and Aunt Li should have given you a lot of money later."

Qiu Feng looked at Yun Yaru with surprise, "Mr. Yun, how do you know!"

Yun Yaru knew that she had guessed right just now, "How could this county know? This is not what you should ask."

Qiu Feng realized at this time that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now, so he reached out to wipe the sweat that was not on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Then tell me why you told the constable about this after receiving a sum of money." Yun Yaru looked at him, but her voice was much gentler than before.

Qiufeng lowered his head and said, "I... the youngest one... I recently discovered that the second young master and Aunt Li might be related to the death of the eldest young master, so he decided to tell you about this."

"The county will send someone to find out what you are talking about." Yun Yaru thought for a while.

"But judging by how you are now, you should know something."

Qiu Feng glanced around and didn't dare to look at Yun Yaru sitting there. He only felt that the newly appointed county magistrate was very powerful.

"Since you want to avenge your eldest son Qian, you shouldn't hide anything from this county." Yun Yaru's voice suddenly became cold.

Qiu Feng lowered his eyes in Yun Yaru's cold eyes and said, "Not long before the eldest son died, he had a big fight with the second son, but the matter was banned by the old lady, so it was not reported."

Yun Yaru became interested when she heard this. Even Captain Xiao, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken, straightened his body at this time.

"Do you know what they're arguing about?"

Qiu Feng hesitated for a moment, and said, "It seems that the second young master said that the eldest young master is a wild breed, and the old lady was also helping her out."

Yun Yaru's eyes lit up. What Qiu Feng just said was a new clue to them cracking the current case.

Qiufeng became a little nervous when he saw that County Magistrate Yun did not speak.

Yun Yaru thought about it for a while, but let the servant named Qiufeng retreat first.

...

"Sir, should we follow this clue to the Qian Mansion and conduct some investigation now?"

Captain Xiao heard the narrative just now named Qiu Feng, and his face showed joy, as if the murderer who killed Qian Haoyu was about to be caught by them.

Yun Yaru didn't think things would be so simple, after all, there are still many things that don't make sense for the time being.

Yun Yaru did not agree immediately, "There is no hurry to do this, so I'd better call another maid and servant in first. I'll ask about it before I talk about it."

Not long after, a maid and a servant were brought in by a yamen runner.

As soon as the two of them came in, they saluted Yun Yaru who was sitting there.

The expressions on the two of them looked even more nervous than the servant named Qiufeng just now.

"This county wants to ask you, is Mr. Qian more diligent in Mr. Qian's courtyard recently?

The maid and servant nodded quickly.

"Can you two talk to our county in detail?"

The maid in green clothes and the servant in green clothes looked at each other.

"Maybe it is because the old lady is in a bad health recently that the second young master has been more diligent than before when he goes to the old lady's courtyard." The little maid said tremblingly.

When Yun Yaru saw the maid's appearance, she knew that this person should be a little nervous. After all, ordinary people are generally afraid of the government.

"You don't need to explain to this county, just tell me what you are seeing. As for how to judge it specifically, this is the matter of this county." Yun Yaru lowered her eyes and glanced at the maid.

Seeing this, the servant beside him hurriedly told Yun Yaru what he saw, but his tone of speaking was a little stuttering.

Through the words of these two people, Yun Yaru did not find any valuable clues in it.

"Do you two know what the relationship between Mrs. Qian Dashen and Aunt Li have been with each other recently?" Yun Yaru thought for a while, then changed the topic.

"I didn't notice any abnormal behavior between the eldest young lady and Aunt Li." The maid shook her head.

"The little one seems to have seen the eldest lady quarrel with Aunt Li from afar. Because the sound is too loud, it is not too small to notice it." The servant paused slightly before speaking.

While the maid and the servant were talking, Yun Yaru was also secretly paying attention to the changes in their faces.

The servant didn't expect that he had just said something small to him, but Yun Yaru listened very seriously, which made his tone of speech fluently.

"This county asks you, could Qian Haoyu have had a fight with his younger brother Qian Haoran before his death?" Yun Yaru said this, and the expression on her face became serious.
