"What are you looking at?" Qiao Gongzi asked with a faint smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shao Mingyuan coughed lightly and said seriously: "I think this gold-painted landscape screen is a little old, and I want to replace it with a new one." ”

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled lowly: "What Master Hou said is that it's time for a new one." By the way, how's the investigation going?"

Shao Mingyuan dusted off the dust on his body, sat down and took a sip of the warm water handed over by the guard, and as soon as the water entered the mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the guard.

The guard explained: "Miss Li said that the general is running around all day, and it is more comfortable to drink honey water to moisten his throat. ”

Shao Mingyuan glanced at Qiao Mo quickly, and wanted to keep his face calm, but the upturned corners of his lips revealed his mood: "What did Miss Li say?"

It would be nice if my uncle was not there, and he would have to ask several more times. It was a great feeling to hear from others that Zhao Zhao cared about him.

"It was Miss Li who said it, and Miss Li also said that it was too late, so let you stop drinking tea. The guard added.

Shao Mingyuan nodded again and again: "Got it." ”

The guards bowed their heads and snickered.

Is the general stupid, telling him what he "knows", and he can't tell Miss Li.

Qiao Mo glanced at Shao Mingyuan deeply, and the smile on the corner of his mouth condensed slightly.

When did the eldest sister care so much about this kid? He even secretly told the guards to prepare honey for this kid, he didn't even know!

Qiao Gongzi's heart swelled with a deep sense of powerlessness that his sister was taken away by the wolf, and he looked at Shao Mingyuan's gaze becoming deeper and deeper.

Shao Mingyuan noticed that his eldest brother's eyes were not quite right, so he immediately restrained his smugness, coughed lightly and said, "Uncle, what did you just ask?"

Qiao Mo gently tapped on the armrest of the chair and said lightly: "Master Hou doesn't have a good memory." ”

Someone's face did not change, and he took a glass of water and drank it all: "After drinking the honey, I remembered, my uncle asked about the investigation." The three legal divisions should sort out the files overnight, check the account books, and strive to preliminarily sort out the list of officials involved in the case tomorrow. ”

Qiao Mo nodded silently.

Seeing this, Shao Mingyuan comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, the emperor has spoken, those people will hurry, and my uncle should be summoned in two days." ”

As the bitter master of the Qiao family fire case, Qiao Mo will definitely go to the court.

"That's good, Master Hou has been busy for a day, go wash and sleep. ”

"Uncle, let's rest early. ”

Shao Mingyuan returned to his residence, took off his clothes and stepped into the steaming bathtub, his long body slowly submerged in the water. Because the cold poison has been dispelled, the exposed skin is no longer as white as before, but dyed with a faint wheat color.

"Let's get out. Shao Mingyuan sent away the guards who were waiting for him to bathe.

The sound of the door closing, his whole person completely relaxed, picked up the scoop of water and poured it down, the hot water washed over the sturdy body, and the heart swelled with a faint warmth.

Zhao Zhao would quietly order the guards to prepare honey for him-

Shao Mingyuan closed his eyes, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that this is the feeling of being missed all the time.

His Zhao Zhao must be the best wife in the world.

The night quickly deepened.

The winter night was quiet, with no birds chirping or insects, only the rising north wind gently lapping against the window lattice.

Many people are asleep, and many are sleepless at night.

The lights in the yamen of the criminal department were bright, the figures on the window screens were shaking, and the low friction sound of flipping through the case files was subtle, but it was very clear in the middle of the night.

A small official knocked on the door and said to the busy officials with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is here to send you supper on the order of Lord Shangshu." ”

An official put down his pen and asked with a smile, "What supper?" ”

Until now, everyone is hungry and tired.

"Bird's nest porridge. The little official opened the food box and put a Gu bird's nest porridge outside.

"It's nice to have bird's nest porridge to eat. A young official laughed.

The little official sent the bird's nest porridge to the officials in turn: "Our Lord Shangshu has explained, all the adults have worked hard, and we can no longer wronged the stomachs of the adults." ”

All the officials laughed, took a small sip of bird's nest porridge and drank it.

On such a cold night, a Gu bird's nest porridge is naturally very comfortable.

The little official stood silently aside, and when he saw that everyone had finished drinking the bird's nest porridge, he lowered his eyebrows and stepped forward to clean up.

"Okay, you go out, we're going to continue to handle the case-" After the young official finished speaking, he suddenly felt a blur in front of him, and fell asleep before he could finish the rest of the sentence.

The little official watched coldly as everyone fell asleep one after another, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

He gently put down the food box, rummaged for a long time, and finally found the two most important account books, took off the lampshade and lit it closely, until it was burned to ashes, he breathed a sigh of relief, pushed down the oil lamp, and quietly retreated.

After a while, the flames burst into the sky, and the people who discovered the fire shouted: "Oh no, it's gone!"

"The grown-ups are still inside—"

There was a lot of noise, there was chaos, and after two quarters of an hour the fire was extinguished, and the officials who had been rescued from the house were awake and in disarray.

Kou Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took a break because of his age, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen after taking a nap, and his face was so anxious that his face turned blue.

"What the hell is going on?"

Officials, who had just experienced a fire, looked dazed.

Kou Xing was so angry that his face turned pale: "Are you all asleep?"

He didn't say he was going to rest, it was these bastards who said that he was old and couldn't stay up late, and urged him to take a nap.

"Kou Shangshu, don't be in a hurry to interrogate the whole thing, let's see what we have to lose. Dali Siqing reminded.

For other people from the yamen, Kou Xing naturally didn't want to get angry, and glared at Li Guangyan, the left attendant of the criminal department.

Li Guangyan raised his sleeve and wiped his face, and there were two more black ashes on his face, which looked extremely funny.

But at this time, no one had the heart to laugh, and they were all in a heavy mood.

"What are you doing stupidly, hurry up and check what is burned. As the second-in-command of the Criminal Department, Li Guangyan only felt extremely embarrassed today, first because he went to Jiafeng to investigate the case, he was scolded by Shangfeng, and now he is in this situation again.

He had a bad premonition and took the lead and began to check.

A Lang Zhong's face turned pale, and his lips trembled: "No, it's not good-"

And all the people looked at him.

Lang Zhong's face was as ugly as ashes, and he trembled and said, "Those two account books...... All, all burned out......"

"Kou Shangshu-" Dali Siqing hurriedly supported Kou Xingze, who was almost fallen.

"Burned out, are you not mistaken?" Kou Xing's eyes turned black, and he barely managed to stand on his feet with the help of Dali Siqing.

Lang Zhong's face was like earth, and he felt that the sky had fallen, so he hid his face and cried: "The lower official is not mistaken, the two account books were placed on this shelf at that time——"

"Look for it again!"

After a period of chaos, everyone present was mournful.

"Great, my lord, what should I do now?" an official cautiously asked Kou Xingru.

Dali Siqing felt that something was wrong, and gently pushed Kou Xingze, and his face changed greatly: "Oh no, Kou Shangshu fainted." ”
