After listening to Xie Mengting's narration, Cheng Zhong already had a bold and absurd hypothesis in his mind: the versatile teacher had an inappropriate relationship with a beautiful female student during the teaching process and could not extricate himself. The female student's father, because he looked down on the male teacher's poverty and disability, firmly opposed it and even killed him. In order to cover up the crime, he dressed up the poor male teacher as a beggar and pushed him into the powder river in an attempt to cover up the crime. Cheng Zhong¡¯s idea is purely due to later film and television works. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in movies and television. Young ladies from wealthy families are usually kept in a boudoir before leaving the court, and cannot be easily seen by others, but the situation in the Xie family is different. Xie Mengting has a son and a daughter. The son Xie Jiangbo is 19 years old and is his brother; the daughter Xie Sicun is only 17 years old this year. In order to let his son concentrate on his studies, Xie Mengting refused to let Xie Jiangbo get involved in business matters. As Xie Mengting got older and his energy gradually declined, the family business had to be ignored, so many things naturally fell on Xie Sicun. Although Xie Sicun is a daughter, she seems to be born to do business. She manages the Xie family's business in an orderly manner and has become Xie Mengting's indispensable right-hand man. Xie Mengting generously asked the housekeeper to go to the backyard to invite Xie Sicun to come out and meet him. Cheng Zhong was somewhat looking forward to Xie Sicun¡¯s appearance. After all, this was the first time he had seen a purdah girl from a wealthy family, and he really didn't know what she would be like. But when he saw Xie Mengting's figure, Cheng Zhong was a little discouraged. Even if Miss Xie was as beautiful as a fairy, her weight of 200 kilograms would probably be off-putting. The sound of ringing was heard, the fragrance filled the nose, and Xie Sicun walked into the room. At this moment, Cheng Zhong was stunned. It's not because he has poor concentration, but because he has seen this woman before! That day on the bank of the Guangfulin River, the beautiful woman was singing gracefully on a black-awned boat. Her peerless appearance had been deeply engraved in Cheng Zhong's mind, and he would never forget it. I thought that that quick glance had used up the fate that the two of them had cultivated for five hundred years, but what I didn¡¯t expect was that they could still meet here! "Citizen girl Sicun has met Mr. Hai." Xie Sicun bowed Yingying, elegant and natural, and you could tell at a glance that he was used to big scenes. "Miss Xie, please excuse me." Hai Rui said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at Cheng Zhong, and was surprised to find that Cheng Zhong's eyes were glazed over and he was almost crying. What a shame! He couldn't help but cough and said, "Cheng Zhong, I've seen Miss Xie." Ah! Cheng Zhong woke up, stood up quickly, and saluted. "It's you?!" A look of disgust appeared on Xie Sicun's face. It was obvious that she also remembered Guang Fulin's quick glance. His hot, undisguised eyes made him look like a naked stranger. Disciple! Unexpectedly, he was related to the new county magistrate. "Sister, even though Brother Cheng is young, he is the head of this county examination. He is the disciple of the county magistrate. His knowledge is far beyond my brother's reach. I admire him very much. He is a veritable young talent. "Xie Jiangbo quickly introduced, hoping that Cheng Zhong's appearance could dilute that person's influence on Xie Sicun. However, Xie Jiangbo's introduction not only failed to make Xie Sicun have a favorable impression of Cheng Zhong, on the contrary, it made Xie Sicun feel a little bit more disdainful in his heart - he had climbed to the top of the county magistrate and wanted to be the chief prosecutor of the county. Like searching a bag to retrieve something? As for the county magistrate, he can deceive others with such childish tricks, but how can he deceive himself? Compared with him, he is really far behind! Although Xie Sicun could hide it, Cheng Zhong still saw that Yi Ren had no feelings for him at all. Not only was there no feeling, it was simply disgust. Cheng Zhong didn¡¯t know what he had done wrong to cause Xie Sicun to be so disgusted. But since she has such an attitude, Cheng Zhong will not persist in stalking her and insisting on using his hot face to touch her cold ass. She is just a self-righteous beautiful woman! "Miss Xie, I just heard from your father that Du Chongde taught young lady painting?" Hai Rui asked. "Exactly!" Xie Sicun said: "Mr. Du's painting attainments are extraordinary, and the little girl admires him very much. Although she studies hard, she still can't match Mr. Wan!" Xie Sicun said with admiration, and this further confirmed Cheng Zhong's Suspect. Xie Jiangbo just tried his best to advocate for himself in front of his sister, probably because he wanted to use himself to influence Xie Sicun's love for someone. And it¡¯s probably self-evident who this person is. Students are most likely to have this kind of admiration for their teachers, and this feeling is likely to turn into admiration and eventually love. I'm afraid that it was precisely because of this that Xie Mengting was on guard against Du Chongde and killed Du Chongde, right? Thinking of this, when Cheng Zhong looked at Xie Mengting, he felt more and more like a feudal person.Chief, a ruthless murderer! If Xie Mengting is a murderer, will Xie Jiangbo be implicated? Although he and Xie Jiangbo have not known each other for a long time, he still has a good impression of this frank and frank rich young man. I never expected that something like this would happen! "Miss Xie, could you please take me to Mr. Du's bedroom to have a look?" Hai Rui said. "Of course, but Mr. Du happened to be out at this time and has not returned yet. I'm afraid your Excellency will have to leave empty-handed." Xie Sicun said. After listening to Xie Sicun's words, Cheng Zhong couldn't help but feel a little pity for this girl. She still doesn't know that the lover she admired has died! Of course, there was a faint sourness in Cheng Zhong's heart that would make pigs eat even good cabbage. "It doesn't matter." Hai Rui said. Xie Mengting and his son originally wanted to accompany him, but Hai Rui refused. Du Chongde¡¯s bedroom is in the west courtyard, about twenty square meters in size. The room is elegantly decorated, with several orchids hanging on the walls. Judging from the style of the paintings, they must have been painted by the same person. "These paintings were all painted by Mr. Du?" Hai Rui looked at the orchids carefully and couldn't help but nodded secretly. This wonderful painting by Du Chongde is indeed quite skillful. No wonder Miss Xie admires it so much. Cheng Zhong was not proficient in painting, so he looked at it in a quick glance. His behavior naturally fell into Xie Sicun's eyes, which made him even more contemptuous. "Yes, these are all works by Mr. Du. Mr. Du loves orchids, and almost all of his paintings are of orchids." Xie Sicun said. "Then why doesn't he put some pots of orchids in the room?" Cheng Zhong glanced at the room and couldn't find even a pot of flowers. Xie Sicun seemed a little angry that Cheng Zhong interrupted her, and ignored his question, silently responding. Hai Rui nodded and said, "This question is what the county is curious about. Since Mr. Du is an elegant person, why doesn't he keep a few pots of orchids in his bedroom and be close to him all the time?" "Sicun has never asked Mr. Du about this. , It's not clear." Xie Sicun said: "If Mr. Hai wants to know, you can wait until Mr. comes back and ask him in person." "I guess no one is willing to ask him any questions in person." Cheng Zhong said with a strange expression. "What do you mean?" Xie Sicun was respectful to Hai Rui, but rude to Cheng Zhong. "Cheng Zhong, don't be rude!" Hai Rui stopped Cheng Zhong from talking. Then he asked Xie Sicun: "Does Mr. Du have any family members?" Cheng Zhongxin said: This question is a bit embarrassing. Du Chongde was over fifty years old, and he was a civil servant. Of course he was already married and had children, and he might have a lot of children. And this Miss Xie is obviously in love with him. Doesn't asking like this just rub salt into her wounds? But what surprised Cheng Zhong was that Xie Sicun didn't show the slightest expression of pain on his face, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that Mr. had a family when he was in the capital, but they separated later. Mr. came here two years ago After arriving in Huating, he never went back to see his family, and no family members came here to look for him. "That's right." Hai Rui had a thoughtful expression on his face. "This is strange. Since he has no family here and has never gone back, do you know where he has been in the past two days?" Cheng Zhong discovered the problem from Xie Sicun's words. Hai Rui nodded secretly. Ever since he met Xie Sicun, Cheng Zhong seemed a little distracted, but the questions he asked were crucial. What embarrassed Cheng Zhong was that Xie Siyun ignored him at all. "Ms. Xie, this is also a question that this county wants to ask." Hai Rui had to say. Xie Siyun then said: "Since Mr. Hai has asked questions, Sicun will naturally answer all questions. Although Mr. Xi has no family in Huating, he will go out every once in a while, which can be as short as one or two days or as long as three or four." God will come back. Mr. Hai has been out for two days and will be back soon. Mr. Hai might be able to meet him again. "Cheng Zhongxin said: Come back?" If he really comes back, then I won't see him! "Does Miss Xie know who Mr. Du hangs out with every time he goes out?" Hai Rui asked again.
