Chapter 181: A chance encounter with Song Lian

An An has no objection to where he lives, but he doesn't feel happy about being separated from his mother. But he also understands that the matter is very important.

"Don't worry, mother, An'an will be good."

Aunt Wugen followed Ji Youyi out. Seeing their mother and son separated, she said kindly: "I will also take care of An'an. Don't worry, Youyi."

An An frowned in confusion. He always felt that this woman's attitude was a bit inappropriate and she was too intimate.

Ji Youyi had no way to explain to An An. After awkwardly thanking Aunt Wugen, she hurriedly left the medicine garden and went home to tidy up before walking towards the city.

It was past noon and the bullock carts were gone, so she could only walk on her own.

Ji Youyi rushed to the city in a hurry. She didn't even have time to drink. Based on the clues provided by Dr. Liu, she found a household and gently clicked the door lock.

Soon, a man came to open the door.

"Who are you?"

"May I ask you, Master Zhou Jiang?"

"I am. Who are you?" Zhou Jiang is a man in his forties. Several generations of his family are widowed.

Seeing that she had found the right person, Ji Youyi relaxed a little and said, "I was introduced by Doctor Liu. My name is Ji Youyi. This time I want to ask you to help me lead the way. I want to go to the mass graves in Xishan."

Although Zhou Jiang is a widower, he doesn't often go to mass graves. When he saw Ji Youyi, a girl's family, going to such a place, he suddenly asked without understanding: "Girl, mass graves are not a fun place, and the time

It’s already late, but no one is going to the mass graves at this hour.”

It was getting late, and even though Ji Youyi was anxious, she understood everyone's taboos.

"Master Zhou, you misunderstood. I'm not rushing to go today. I just want to make an appointment with you. Do you think it's feasible tomorrow morning?"

"Did Lao Liutou introduce you to me?" Zhou Jiang didn't respond, but asked her.

Ji Youyi nodded, "I am Doctor Liu's disciple. I went here to find medicinal materials to save people. I also asked Master Zhou for help."

Zhou Jiang actually didn't want to go, but Old Liu Tou had helped him before, and out of gratitude for his kindness, he should also help.

He only hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and said: "Miss Ji, come and see me again tomorrow morning. By the way, there are a lot of venomous snakes, insects and ants in that place at this time of the year, so you should keep some poison-repellent and insect-proof ants with you.

.”

"Okay, then I'll come see you tomorrow."

After Ji Youyi made an agreement with Zhou Jiang, she casually found an inn to rest.

She didn't forget Zhou Jiang's instructions. She got up early in the morning and went to the medicinal shop to knock on the door. Naturally, the person she found belonged to Guo Wenhan's family, and she had to pay for it.

After finishing it, I went to find Zhou Jiang.

Zhou Jiang was originally fine today, but a body was found during the inspection, so he sent someone to look for it.

And this person is also an old acquaintance, Zhao Waner's husband-in-law, Song Lian.

Song Lian led people to the door, "Zhou Wuzuo, a female corpse washed up on the river bank today. Could you please go and take a look."

It was not easy for Zhou Jiang to refuse the official business. But if he went there, he would probably be delayed for two hours.

He promised Ji Youyi yesterday, and seeing that it was almost time, he was probably on his way here.

He hesitated and said, "Inspector Song, I'm so sorry. I have something to do today and I really can't go. Otherwise, why don't you go find Wang Wuzuo?"

There are two widowers in the city, the other one is young and has junior qualifications.

How could Song Lian run around so much in vain? He immediately became displeased and said, "What does Zhou Wuzuo mean by this? You don't even go to the yamen's errands? Could it be that you are relying on your old age and selling yourself off?"

"Inspector Song, don't get me wrong. There is really something going on at home, so this is inconvenient."

"No matter how inconvenient it is, everything can be as big as the Yamen incident." Song Lian shouted angrily and said arrogantly: "I advise Zhou Wuzuo to clean up as soon as possible and leave with us."

"Master Zhou has an appointment with me to go out today, but since the official has come to invite me, Master Zhou should go there, and my affairs can be postponed."

Ji Youyi came out of the crowd and rescued Zhou Jiang.

Song Lian took a look and said, "Oh, we still know each other. We are enemies on a narrow road."

"Hey, who do I think she is? Isn't this the little prostitute from Xiayuan Village, Miss Ji?" He said with a frivolous eyebrow, "Why, the men from Xiayuan Village can't satisfy you, so they come to the city to hook up with others.

"

Ji Youyi looked calm, glanced at Song Lian contemptuously, and walked past him without paying any attention to him.

She walked up to Zhou Jiang and said, "Master Zhou, I'm waiting for you at Ruyi Inn. If you have settled the matter, you can go find me there. I'll wait for you until noon. If you don't come, then I can find someone else."

of."

"Okay, girl, let's go back first."

Zhou Jiang saw that there was a conflict between Song Lian and Ji Youyi, so he quickly agreed and asked Ji Youyi to leave now.

"Wait a minute." Song Lian took a step across to block Ji Youyi's retreat, "You want to leave now? The accounts between us haven't been settled yet."

Zhou Jiang worked in the Yamen and had dealt with Song Lian, so he knew what kind of person he was.

For the sake of Lao Liutou, Song Lian cannot be allowed to embarrass Ji Youyi.

He stopped between the two of them and said displeasedly: "Inspector Song. The yamen's errands are important. Do you want to avenge a private vendetta in front of everyone?"

"Bah, what kind of revenge is public? She was suspected of attacking an official. I took her back for questioning. How can this be regarded as public revenge?" Song Lian glanced at the two of them with good intentions, and said with an evil smile: "Why, Zhou Wuzuo shouldn't have an affair with her.

Legs? Otherwise, why are you so protective?"

"You, how can you talk nonsense so casually?" Zhou Jiang said angrily, "I only met this girl yesterday, and you talk nonsense like this and denigrate someone's innocence."

"Hey, I'm just saying something. If you don't have anything wrong with you, why are you so anxious?"

Song Lian shouted and sneered, but Ji Youyi couldn't stand it anymore.

She snorted coldly and said: "Song Lian, you are also an official after all. It's surprising that you speak so sharply and harshly, just like that shrew in the market."

"You bitch, what are you talking about?" Song Lian was scolded and angrily wanted to take action. Ji Youyi looked at him coming over, not wanting to cause trouble, so she took two steps back.

She lifted the medicine box on her shoulder and said, "Inspector Song, this is the street. You, an official, want to do something to a weak woman like me? May I ask what I have committed?"

When it comes to scoundrels, who can't?

When the younger brother behind Song Lian saw that there were more people watching, he immediately stopped them and said in a low voice: "Boss, the people above have not left yet. The county magistrate just told us yesterday not to go too far.

Make public."

I don’t know what’s going on with the people above. They appear and disappear and will never come back.

As a result, they have been stuck in doing things recently, and some things have been put off.

Song Lian came back to his senses. Although he was still angry, he did not continue.
