Chapter 318 Banan County Wu Yongjia

During the two or three days of the journey, Yu Erhu was worried about Liu Ge'er and had not been able to sleep well. After hearing what Bo Ge'er said, his anxious heart finally relaxed a little. He didn't even eat, washed up quickly, and fell asleep.

After dinner, Xingxing took Boger aside and asked him a lot of questions.

Bo Ge'er answered all the questions, no matter how big or small.

Yu Sanbao was listening at the side, frowning and then relaxing his brows.

"That is to say, the deceased candidate Wu Yong originally framed Liu Ge'er for cheating in the exam - and he framed Liu Ge'er not for himself, but for that person named Tan Jingqian?" Yu Sanbao touched his chin and concluded, "Then this matter is very obvious, it must be that Tan Jingqian who killed people to silence them, and then framed Liu Ge'er."

Bo Ge'er said bluntly: "It is as expected. But the current situation is like this. Whether Tan Jingqian killed someone to silence him or they framed my third brother, there is no evidence... So, the matter has come to a stalemate."

Yu Sanbao sneered: "Without any evidence, they dared to put Liu Ge'er, a candidate with the title of scholar, in jail. They are really powerful."

Bo Ge'er also sneered: "Isn't it? They said that Wu Yong usually has simple interpersonal relationships, and it is impossible for him to have enemies who want to kill him. The only one who has a grudge against Wu Yong is the third brother. They also said that the third brother left the state capital that day. Isn't this absconding? ... This can be used as evidence, it's really amazing."

Yu Sanbao touched his chin and said, "Does that Tan something hate Liu Ge'er so much?"

Bo Ge'er pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed, "Of course not. The reputation he created in the state capital before was just short of saying that he was the incarnation of Wenquxing, a literary genius that is rare in a thousand years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to frame my third brother before the exam, wanting to eliminate my third brother, the one who was most likely to win the first place... But as luck would have it, not only did he not harm my third brother, he also had an accident in the exam room, and I heard that he had diarrhea for three days. But my third brother did very well in the exam... According to Qin Jingqian's code of conduct, he must hate my third brother to death, right?"

Yu Sanbao clicked his tongue twice: "...With such a narrow mind, you still want to be the top scorer, bah!"

Gui Ge'er said on the side: "It is more reliable for me to be the first place in the imperial examination than for this Tan to be the first place in the imperial examination!"

Xingxing was quietly thinking about something aside.

Bo Geer noticed Xing Xing and asked: "What is Xing Xing thinking about?"

Xing Xing pursed her lips and said, "I was thinking, Second Brother checked before and it seems that Wu Yong made a deal with Qin Jingqian to get his childhood sweetheart off the hook. Has Second Brother checked Wu Yong's childhood sweetheart this time?"

Bo Geer nodded: "I checked it out too. It seems that Wu Yong's childhood sweetheart has suffered a great blow and is bedridden. I went to check on her yesterday, and she was still unable to get up. I'm a man, so it's not good for me to go there alone. Hu Ya followed the caravan to the border again..."

Boger looked at Xingxing with sharp eyes, "It's thanks to you that you're here."

Xing Xing nodded her head immediately: "Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow."

She was very happy that she could help her third brother.

The next day, Boger took Xingxing to Banan County.

Banan County is a suburban county close to the provincial capital, and Wu Yong was a candidate from Banan County during his lifetime.

Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing arrived at Wu Yong's house.

Wu Yong's father passed away many years ago. His mother, a widow, worked hard to support Wu Yong's studies for so many years, but Wu Yong died suddenly. You can imagine how much of a blow it was to Wu Yong's mother.

When Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing went over, they heard Wu Yong's mother scolding him hoarsely in the yard, scolding him for being unfilial and how dare he leave his mother and die so early. However, after scolding her for a few words, she started crying again.

According to neighbors, Wu Yong's mother has been doing this every day since Wu Yong died, and she has become a little insane.

Through the half-high fence, Boger and Xingxing could see the gray-haired old woman, crying in despair and madness, "Oh, God, how can I live like this..."

Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing were both silent.

The door of the house next door to Wu Yong's was tightly closed, but when Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing passed by, they happened to see the hastily closed inner door through the fence.

This is where Wu Yong’s childhood sweetheart lived.

Wu Yong called his childhood sweetheart Qi Yanniang. After her husband died and she had no children, and her house was occupied by her husband's brothers, she returned to her parents' home and became a widow.

But Qi Yan's mother's parents had also passed away, leaving only a younger brother who had just married.

Just as Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing were about to raise their hands to knock on the door, they heard a female voice coming from the Qi family's yard, cursing Qi Yanniang for staying at home all day long, saying that she was like an unlucky star. Not only did she kill her husband, but now she has killed her lover too. Is she trying to kill her brother's family too?

A male voice timidly asked her to stop cursing.

The female voice became even more excited: "I married into your family, but instead of enjoying the good life with you, I now have to help you raise your sister. This is fucked..."

Another string of curses.

The insults were quite vulgar. Even for Bo Ge'er, who grew up in the countryside, he rarely heard such foul language.

Boger reached out and covered Xingxing's ears.

Xing Xing blinked.

She thought that this way she could also...hear something.

After all, my hearing was also trained by Da Xisi Po.

But after all, it was second brother's good intention, so Xingxing didn't say anything.

After a while, there was no movement, so Boger let go of Xingxing's ear and knocked on the door.

The cursing female voice asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

"I have something to ask Qi Yanniang."

Boger replied in a gentle voice.

The door was suddenly opened, and a woman with high shin bones and a fierce face cursed: "What are you looking for that dead star..."

Before she finished her words, the woman looked at the silver ingot that appeared in front of her, and her impatient words were cut off as if by a blow from someone.

Bo Ge'er turned the silver ingot in his hand and said, "I came to visit a few days ago. At that time, she said Qi Yanniang was still sick, so I didn't disturb her. I wonder if she is free now?"

…

Of course I am free when I am free.

Half a minute later, Qi Yanniang, whose face was still a little pale, sat in a private room of a nearby teahouse with Bo Ge'er and Xing Xing.

Qi Yanniang had obviously been crying, her eyes were red and swollen.

She seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit, sitting there sullenly, her voice half dead: "What do you want from me? Tell me."

Bo Ge'er glanced at Xing Xing.

Given Qi Yanniang's current mental state, if a grown man like him were to ask her questions, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

Xing Xing understood and said, "Sister Qi, we want to ask you something about Wu Yong..."
