Chapter 270

"I'm fine. Cui Ning grinned and said with a heartless smile, "Master said that I don't pay attention to everything, if I don't cultivate well, I will probably be a weak person in the future." ”

Wei Qian couldn't help but feel funny, "You're going to give up before you mess up?"

Cui Ning suddenly remembered the kiss before, his face was hot, and his tongue suddenly knotted, "Mess...... Mess up, mess up. ”

Seeing that he looked like he was smiling but not smiling, he couldn't help coughing embarrassedly twice, and quickly changed the topic, "Then what clues did you find by the river?"

Wei Qian replied in accordance with her words, "In the past, the soil of the moat bank was mixed with some chalk and gravel, it should be that someone tried to use this method to strengthen the river bank before, if someone has been there, there must have been traces on their shoes." ”

Chalk is also called lime, "this scripture" has been recorded: near the mountain raw stone, blue and white, as a stove burning, with water fertile, that is, hot steaming and dissolve the end.

In many records, it was used as medicine, and it was later discovered that chalk could be used as a binder for building houses and powder walls after treatment. Nowadays, people love to build houses, especially literati and ink writers, who will always be tempted to inscribe and paint on the wall when they see other people's good powder walls, so the price of chalk has always been not cheap. In terms of materials, the officials who repaired the river were quite hard, but it was a pity that those chalks, after some changes, have lost their vigor and become particles or powders mixed in the soil, but obviously did not play a role in bonding and reinforcing them.

Cui Ning immediately went to the door to check his shoes, and sure enough, he saw a lot of gray and white things mixed with the soles and gaps, "Sure enough!"

"Don't look at it, go wash up, and sleep for a while after breakfast. Wei Qian leaned over and took the shoes from her hand.

Cui Ning thought that although he didn't do the autopsy himself, after all, it was close and needed to be washed.

She ran to the bath room to clean, and when she came back, she saw that Wei Qian had already ordered someone to put breakfast on the table.

Wei Qian looked at her silent eyebrows fluttering, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want?"

This is a bit unkind to say, Cui Ning often thinks that it is because those people misunderstood the fifth brother, which made her pick up a big bargain for nothing. If it was in the past, she would have blurted out a long time ago, but after learning the rules and human feelings for many years, she also knew that what she was thankful for was Wei Qian's bad past, even if he might not care, she only pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard many stories of immortals flying up when I was a child, so I asked Master if only when I encounter adventures can I soar." He said a lot of things, cultivating the mind and cultivating virtues, etc., I almost forgot about it, I only remember that he said that mortals have a fate, and adventures are hard to come by. But I don't know why, but I feel like I must have this kind of creation. ”

"But now, I won't exchange all the adventures in this world for you. The candle flame reflected in her eyes swayed slightly in the wind, and the joy seemed to be able to overflow, the warm candle flame and the hazy morning light were seven points innocent and three points charming.

Wei Qian looked at her for a moment, lowered his eyes and took a quick sip of a cup of tea, as if this would be able to stop the deer in his heart from scurrying around.

Cui Ning said again, "I know what they said behind their backs, but I feel like it in my heart...... I think you are worthy of the most beautiful woman in the world, I have nothing good, it's still a big trouble, I always feel wronged by you. ”

Just like this time, the deceased was a high-ranking official after all, and Wei Qian took a great risk by letting her go.

Cui Ning knew that others privately said that Wei Qian had picked up a big bargain. They say this because of her background, but she didn't grow up in the Cui family, although she has been working hard to cultivate the so-called "family honor" in recent years, and now she can take into account the honor and disgrace of the Cui family in many things, but she has never been able to be like a real noble girl in her heart. She is a little Taoist aunt, she has been determined to be good-looking since she was a child, to be a good fairy aunt, and to take on the responsibility of raising the Taoist Temple with the second senior brother, she doesn't feel that she is inferior to anyone, but she has never felt that she has anything excellent.

And in Wei Qian's eyes, there are no shortcomings.

Wei Qian was surprised, in the past, when Cui Ning said "pick up cheap", he only felt that the little girl's mouth was sweet, but today he heard a little self-blame and inferiority from her tone.

"Don't be cranky. He took a bowl of porridge and handed it to her, "If you are not good, others will not say goodbye to their own proud son." ”

Cui Ning took it and blew it, and when she heard the words, she raised her head with a look of surprise, "Who is the pride of the sky?"

Wei Qian lowered his eyes and did not answer. He shouldn't have said that, but the little girl was too distracted to let her think like that.

"You say Cousin Xie?" Cui Ning felt that all of her people were the pride of the sky, but except for Ling Ce, who had already married her sister, it was Xie Yang who had the signs of marriage before, "Cui Xie's two families just have a little bit of marriage, and they are not serious about marriage." Besides, their family can only think of me because of my background. ”

When Xie Yang entered the Cui Mansion for the first time in Chang'an, the news that the two families were going to marry came out of nowhere, and the Cui family did not announce the matter, but they did not deliberately conceal it.

"As long as you have the heart to investigate, there are no real secrets in the world. Wei Qian continued, "Xie Ziqing is the most outstanding person in the Xie family's generation, and the hopes of the Xie family are pinned on him, if they are not optimistic about you, they will never have the idea of getting married." ”

Cui Ning nodded, eating porridge silently, the room was very quiet, only the sound of porcelain gently colliding.

After a while, she suddenly responded, "Fifth brother, are you jealous!"

He even went to check on Xie Yang?

"Cough!" Wei Qian choked on a mouthful of porridge and coughed earth-shatteringly.

Cui Ning hurriedly put down the bowl, got up and patted him on the back while saying, "Fifth brother, it's unreasonable to eat so vinegar, Cousin Xie doesn't look at me with a straight eye, you say that Brother Fu likes me more than he says." ”

Wei Qianfang was better, but when he heard her words, his throat itched again.

She didn't know that Fu Yuan had really been thinking of asking for marriage.

When Fu Yuan and Ling Ce went to Qinghe together, in addition to coveting the Cui clan's middle school building, they also hid other thoughts. At that time, it was Cui Ning who had a marriage contract with Ling Ce, and her sister Cui Jing happened to be at the age of the family but did not say who she was, so Fu Yuan learned about it and went to find out the news in the name of a study tour. Later, the marriage of the Ling family fell on Cui Jing, and Fu Yuan did not stop thinking, and instead started the idea of other rooms of the Cui family.

Fu Yuan wanted to marry Cui Ning, and Wei Qian was not surprised at all. The girls in the Cui family's lineage are already famous and have masters, and the rest are too young, he is willing to wait for ten or eight years, but the Cui family will not be willing to set a husband of such an age for their daughter. Compared with other dolls who are still toddlers, it is obviously more reliable to marry Cui Ning.

As for whether Fu Yuan is interested in Cui Ning, it must be not, otherwise with his character, I am afraid that it is useless for anyone to stop him.

Fu Yuan is interested in the Cui family's forces, and it is not necessary for Cui Ning, and it may not be possible to ask for marriage in a hurry, but it will definitely hurt Wei Qian. Fu Yuan's ambition is very big, and the officialdom is deceitful, maybe he will never find a friend like Wei Qian in the future.

Mediocrity is boring, most of the talented people are as ambitious as him, Wei Qian is talented, but what he pursues is never right, as long as Fu Yuan thinks, they will not have any conflict for about a lifetime. Fu Yuan has always been a person who is very good at weighing the pros and cons, so he simply let it go.

However, about these things, Wei Qian will not discuss them with Cui Ning, "Let's think more about the case when you have time." ”

Cui Ning nodded, and seeing that he looked good, he didn't say anything more, and went back to rest after eating.

Time was pressing, and after squinting for most of the hour, she had to get up and get busy.

Previously, Cui Ning planned to let Peng You be responsible for interrogating Mrs. Yang, but now he can't participate in solving the case, so she can only go in person.

In the morning, the fog will not dissipate, and when he approached Yang's mansion, Cui Ning saw that there was a mourning flag hanging outside Yang's mansion, and four or five carriages and horses were parked at the door. She hurriedly dismounted and walked over quickly, and couldn't help frowning when she saw that the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion was standing at the door to greet the guests.

"I've seen the Inspector. When the housekeeper saw Cui Ning, he bowed his hand.

When the guests at the door heard this, they all looked at her, and they were all surprised to see that it was a little girl who had not yet reached the end of the year, and some of the people who accompanied her couldn't help but start whispering.

Cui Ning threw the reins to the servants beside him and walked to the porch, "Why did you suddenly mourn?"

Yesterday, Mrs. Yang couldn't make up her mind, so she turned her head and sent a funeral, and this morning she pulled the flag? There has always been a precedent for the handling of corpses in murder cases, and it does not mean that if you want to mourn, you can send it casually. Cui Ning was secretly frightened, and then realized the difficulty of handling cases in the local area. They are understaffed, and they have not received any news of such a big matter.

She couldn't help but think that if the perpetrator was one of the officials in Suzhou, she was afraid that a little trick could make her anxious.

This morning's events were a wake-up call for her. In the case of Yang Ling's murder, the most difficult thing is not to find clues, but to deal with the people who are in the way.

"My lord, I was mourned yesterday afternoon. When the housekeeper saw that she was obviously not here to offer condolences, he asked again, "Is there something else to do when you came here today?"

"Talk to your wife. Cui Ning said.

"There's a lot of going on here, and I can't personally lead the way for adults. The butler summoned a servant to come and lead her into the house.

Cui Ning followed the little maid for a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Your wife told me yesterday that she wanted to ask Judicial Peng what he meant, and Judicial Peng also agreed to mourn?"

"Mrs. Peng saw Justice Peng yesterday, and I think I asked about it. The butler said.

The implication is that he was not present at the time, and it was speculation whether he asked or not.

Cui Ning nodded, and when she entered the door, she first put on a pillar incense for Yang Bei, and then went to the backyard with the little girl.

Bypassing the main hall, you can see a high pavilion behind the trees, the pavilion is located in the backyard, built on a high rockery, if you sit in it, you can overlook most of the Yang Mansion.

It's just that it's not far away, but the road is twists and turns.

Cui Ning was a little puzzled why Fang Shangxiang hadn't seen Peng You, so she thought about it and asked the little guy sideways, "Judge Peng didn't come today?"

"Master Peng came in the morning, knelt in the mourning hall and did not let anyone disturb him, and when he heard that the butler brought someone over, he found that he had fainted. ”

The little guy saw that Cui Ning looked homely, without such a heavy official authority, and spoke very relaxed. He sighed, "After the accident, Lord Peng was crazy, he never closed his eyes day and night, he never even returned home, and he has been leading people to track down the murderer. That's how it is!"

In contrast, Madame's performance was too calm. He heard the girl in the backyard say that Mrs. cried once except the day before hearing the death of the adult, and then she didn't feel much sad, saying that she was uncomfortable and took medicine every day, but she looked like she was fine, and she also set up a shelf of embroidery last night!

They all talked about it in private, the adults spoil their wives like jewels, even a piece of ice is also burned, but they didn't expect that they would look so soft and weak on weekdays, and their hearts would be so hard.

Cui Ning Yuguang saw the change in the little girl's expression, her heart moved slightly, and she asked a few more words about Mrs. Yang and Peng You.

Yang Ling is very strict in governing the house on weekdays, and the people in the house are pressed weekdays, and now the rebound is getting more and more severe, and the housekeeper can only barely manage the things on the surface, where can he care about a few words of gossip? As soon as Cui Ning opened his mouth to ask, the little guy poured out all the gossip he usually heard about like pouring beans.

The stone path leads to the verandah, and when you reach the verandah, you can see the door to the backyard.

"What do you mean by that, from the time Yang Beijia's body was found to me and the Inspector Zuo Ling appeared, Master Peng didn't go home, nor did he have a moment to rest?"
