Chapter 20: Letter from Jiangnan
On the way back to the princess's mansion, Yan Xun seemed to see Rong Yiyan's happy and sweet smile through the sedan chair, thinking back to what he saw today, and couldn't help but rejoice that his friend had found happiness in this life. Xiao Yi finally found a partner who could be with her for life, and she was relieved.
Now there is Qin Ying, and I don't know how she and Li Yunfan have developed during this time......
As for herself, heh, she pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, she had long been out of luxury......
戌時, Qingyin Hall.
Rong Qingxiao was unconsciously stunned at the chessboard in front of him, and Jinxin and Xiao Rongzi couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at their master. When the master plays chess, whether he is playing against others or with himself, he has never been in a daze, and his mind is all in the chess game, what is wrong with him today?
In fact, Rong Qingxiao was just thinking about the wry smile he inadvertently glimpsed today, he wouldn't care about these irrelevant things in the past, but that person seemed to have been breaking his perception of her since he appeared.
He met her at the age of twelve, and the first time they met, she peeked at him and watched the whole lesson; Later, although she did not speak to him, she always blushed and looked at him shyly; When she was in Guozijian, she always sat behind him...... In the first two years, she always ran crazy in the Guozi Prison, and Pingyang and Guiqin did all kinds of crazy and strange things, so angry that Taifu's head was often on fire, but in front of him, she always looked shy and quiet. He's a normal teenager anyway, and of course he knows that she likes him. But he didn't like her, so he could only treat her indifferently all the time, hoping to make the little girl give up earlier, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn, even after he hurt her deeply.
That time, he remembered that she was infected with a cold, but she still secretly went to the Guozijian to see him while she was recuperating. He knew that she was hiding in the corner of the school, so after the eldest brother asked that sentence, he said those words, thinking that she should always let go, but unexpectedly made her change her personality from then on. Later, coupled with the death of her mother, she became more and more silent, and gradually distanced herself from her former friends, although he felt a little sorry, but he could not do anything more, otherwise if she misunderstood, it would only hurt her even more.
However, all that changed when she fell overboard that year. Since that day, she appeared in the school early in the morning to recite poetry books, and he found that she was different from before, although he couldn't grasp what was different, but he could clearly feel it. Later, the poem she said in class surprised him, how could there be such a person who knew himself better than himself? He was struck in the heart in that instant......
But this did not make him pay much attention to her, but he felt that she was also a smart and persistent little girl, until she returned three years later. He looked at her as if she had settled down, becoming calm and confident, and working hard to become an upright and responsible servant. That day, he watched her skillfully dig open the corpse's heart, calmly analyzing the cause of death, and he suddenly realized what she had changed......
Looking at her pair of willow eyes, there was not the slightest ripple, and he finally understood that she had no heart and no love.
In a trance, Rong Qingxiao, who was playing chess, didn't know whether he should play white or black, so he suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing, even if she was no longer the same she used to be, what did it matter to him? He was stunned......
Jinxin and Xiao Rongzi were stunned, serving the master for so many years, he has always been warm and cold, lukewarm, and it was the first time they saw the master smile like this, casual and amazing.
Xiao Rongzi couldn't help but guess boldly: "Master, has you met the girl you like?" After waiting for a while, the people around him didn't react, so he turned his head to look at Jinxin. Seeing that the corners of her originally smiling mouth were slightly stiff, he couldn't help but sigh: "Jinxin, we are subordinates, we are born to serve the master, and the other non-dividing thoughts should be broken earlier...... Besides, it's not that you don't know the master's temperament, and excessive extravagance hurts only yourself......"
Jinxin looked down at her hands that were twisted together, and didn't say a word......
A few days later.
Waiting left and right, Yan Xun finally waited for Jiangnan's reply.
She hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, but her heart was half cold......
Inside the study of the Princess's Mansion.
Rong Qingxiao slowly closed the letter, his face was solemn, this letter said that there are not many rivers and lakes that can make the ice needle superb, and can avoid the discipline inspection department to enter the house and kill people. In addition to the top three characters in the rivers and lakes, and those three people have long stopped asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, they are the killer Qian Qian, who is known as the "Variety Ghost Hand", and Dong Saihua, a medical idiot who has a wonderful rejuvenation technique. These two people have also disappeared for many years, their whereabouts are erratic, and their style is both good and evil, which is difficult to deal with.
He raised his eyes to look at Yan Xun and asked, "Is the information on this letter reliable?" ”
Yan Xun nodded when he heard this, and replied: "This is what an old friend in Jiangnan helped collect, his intelligence network is almost all over the country, and even the secret information of neighboring countries can know a little bit or two, and there has been almost no mistake." When I was also in Jiangnan, I solved a troublesome matter for him, so I made friends. ”
"But I think it's very strange that these two people are legendary figures in the rivers and lakes, and they have nothing to do with the people in the princess's mansion. I have already checked the background of the deceased, and there is nothing suspicious, let alone provoked these charlatans. If she came to Pingyang, it would be even more impossible, she stayed in the palace all day long, and she had no grievances with them in the past, so why did she kill the housekeeper of the princess's mansion? After reading the letter, Yan Xun was stunned and didn't come up with a reason.
"First of all, there may be more than these two people who can do this trick on the rivers and lakes, if the two have any closed disciples, then this is an unknown; Secondly, when the murderer first killed the housekeeper, he created the illusion that he died a natural death, obviously because he didn't want people to know that he killed someone in the mansion, if he wanted to harm Pingyang, then why did he attack an unrelated person? Isn't this a scareless snake? One possibility is that the initial murder may have been an accident. Maybe the housekeeper broke his secret and was killed, and the little guy who was later killed proved that that person may be Pingyang or someone we are familiar with, or he himself has some very obvious characteristics, causing him to be afraid of identity leakage, so he poisoned him. Rong Qingxiao's index finger lightly tapped on the table in front of him, and analyzed it seriously, but sighed again in the next moment: "But everything is just speculation out of thin air, we can only find conclusive evidence before we can further judge." ”
"Now that's all we have to do, and the priority now is to make sure the wedding goes smoothly."
"Well, I will explain to my father that I will mobilize two Ouchi masters to protect Pingyang, and the rest of the people can be withdrawn."
