Chapter 25: The Debate of Ears and Eyes

The stars are moving, and it is the day of the trip, because of the last time the Huangjue Temple burned incense, this time the village is prepared to be fine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info everything that should be used is checked again and again before it can be registered and loaded.

Shao Changyun personally helped Shen Xinyi all the way out of the hospital, and carefully instructed a few related trivial matters.

Shen Xinyi looked panicked, and said uneasily: "Yun Lang, this time I live in another courtyard, and I don't have you to suppress the formation." I have no bottom in my heart, and I can't help but feel uneasy. ”

"Emperor Xiao will return to Beijing in a few days, and we, the officials who stay in Beijing, are busy with driving matters all day long, and we really don't have half a minute to spare." Shao Changyun smiled lightly and said in a gentle manner. "And you have a child period again, if you regret it temporarily, it won't make her feel cold."

"If it weren't for the fear that she would be upset, I wouldn't have gone." Shen Xinyi covered his chest lightly and sighed. "I was kidnapped last time, and my heart hurts more than a knife, but I can't stand being scared anymore."

An extremely shallow coldness flashed between Shao Changyun's eyebrows, and he still comforted softly: "I have explained this matter in advance." There will be no mistakes, you can rest assured. ”

Shen Xinyi responded with his head and took Zi Qi into the first carriage, and Zi Jiang followed. The rest of the accompanying family members also got into the carriage in separate ways, and said nothing else.

Overtime, the wheels were rolling, the colorful tassels were fluttering, and everyone went straight to the Beijing suburb courtyard. As for what happened when everyone arrived at the other courtyard, this is a later article, so I will put it aside for the time being, and I will show it later.

Let's say that in front of Shao Changyun's independent street, he watched the carriages and horses go all the way away and was silent. He stared into the distance, with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, but a storm and clouds suddenly rose in his eyes.

The old housekeeper Zhang Jing stepped forward slowly, sighed and said, "The master deliberately took away the lady." ”

"Yes." Shao Changyun responded slowly, and muttered: "It's better to see flowers in the fog than to watch the fire in the cave, it's better for her to be dull." ”

"But you're going to make a move?"

"If the Xie family doesn't get rid of it, it will be difficult for me to sleep in peace." Shao Changyun's eyes were full of light, but his words were cold.

"It's too dirty, and they still don't know about it." Zhang Jing sighed and laughed again. "Madame is too pure and kind, according to the old slave's humble opinion, the master is afraid that his subordinates will be merciful when the time comes."

Shao Changyun glanced at Zhang Jing sideways, didn't say anything, and asked concentratingly, "Can Chen Qi's related matters be clarified?" ”

Zhang Jing saw Shao Changyun's solemn face, so he also accepted the joke, and replied respectfully: "The old slave asked the boys at the outer gate, and according to what they said, Chen Qi is the most tactful on weekdays. I can talk to people all over the house, and all the people who have friends with him are treated the same, and there is no favoritism. ”

"It's a slippery loach." Shao Changyun smiled coldly, and then asked, "Are there any people who have frequent contact with them?" ”

Zhang Jing shook his head and replied: "Chen Qi is a good gambler, except for often having a night game. The rest of the time, he also nests in the house and does not go out of the house often. ”

"Among the servants who participate in gambling, there are strange people."

"Because the house has its own rules for night shifts, the people who participate in gambling are also in turns, and the personnel are not fixed." Zhang Jing pondered for a moment, and hesitated: "Could it be that some little guy said it casually when he was gambling, so that Chen Qi listened to it, so he took advantage of the situation." ”

"It is not surprising that the hour of the carriage and the streets and alleys through which the caravan passed." Shao Changyun narrowed his eyes and said calmly. "But there's one thing that they can't know."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jing wondered.

"Uncle Zhang thinks about what happened that day, and he knows it."

Zhang Jing pondered for a moment, his heart suddenly froze, and he said in shock: "What kind of carriage is my sister riding!" ”

"Yes." Shao Changyun replied casually.

Zhang Jing replied from the side: "On that day, if Chen Qi didn't know what carriage the eldest sister was riding, he would not be able to carry out this plan smoothly. ”

"Exactly." Shao Changyun put his sleeves in his hands, and Wen Yan analyzed: "There are three Chinese cars in our house. The cuigai baoding carriage is Xin Yi's daily use, so there is no need to elaborate. But the only change in this is the two sisters of Zi Jiang in the child period. The two of them have always been affectionate, and often sit and lie down and do not follow their old age. So there were two carriages, and the sisters weren't sure which one they would ride. ”

And at that time, in order to avoid suspicion, the old slave sent all the male servants out. Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Qi to know which of the carriages the two sisters are riding. Zhang Jing hesitated for a moment and wondered, "But if Chen Qi didn't know which carriage his sister would take in advance, how could there be a carriage with the same shape set up in advance that day?" ”

Shao Changyun didn't answer, took out something from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhang Jing, and asked lightly, "Do you recognize what this is?" ”

Zhang Jing took it respectfully, unfolded the cloth bag and took a look, but it was half a wood carving. But it's the size of a palm, a thin slice. Zhang Jing hesitated and said: "It looks like a part of the lotus-topped vermilion car, and it seems to be the wood carved lotus petals on the top." ”

"Take a closer look."

Zhang Jing carefully discerned it for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "No! Although the wood used for this object is roughly the same, there are subtle differences in the wood grain of this carving. This must not be what we have in the car, where did you get it? ”

"This is what I found in the alley next to me when I was chasing Chen Qi that day." Shao Changyun closed his eyelids and said coldly. "It was a big deal, and two carriages were prepared in advance. This shows that no matter which carriage Zijiang took at that time, they were prepared with both hands. ”

Zhang Jing was puzzled: "Chen Qi's target is the eldest lady, but what he drove at that time was obviously the carriage that the second lady was riding. ”

Shao Changyun snorted coldly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to catch the tail of this ear." ”

"The old slave is stupid, and the lord makes it clear."

"Chen Qi is a foreign man, and he will not be able to see with his own eyes which carriage the two sisters took that day. This shows that the person who reported to Chen Qi must not be a man. Shao Changyun's expression was flat, and he said slowly: "And this Chen Qi only knows the carriage that Zijiang took when he went, but he didn't know that when he returned, the two sisters changed carriages. This means that there is only one possibility......"

"Yes." Zhang Jing clapped his hands and said first: "The carriages that the masters ride in will have private belongings, and they will not be easily replaced. From this point of view, Chen Qi's internal response must not have accompanied the car at that time, so Chen Qi mistakenly drove the carriage that the second lady was riding. ”

Shao Changyun added from the side: "And this person's status must not be high." ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Jing asked puzzled.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Shao Changyun's eyes, and he sighed with his forehead: "On that day, all the people who had a little face next to the master went with the car. Uncle Zhang, do you think this person's status will be high? ”

"Uh......" Zhang Jing was speechless for a while, and his old face turned red.

Shao Changyun didn't want to make fun of him, so he instructed: "Uncle Zhang, you can follow this road to check." ”

"Yes." Zhang Jing bowed down, and there was a bit of eagerness in his words, and he smiled and said: "There were not many maids and women who did not accompany me at that time, and the old slave will find out as soon as possible." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Shao Changyun said quietly. "Even Chen Qi is hiding so deeply, this inner part of him must not be a simple character."

"Let's look at the old slave." Zhang Jing beat his chest and raised his head.

"Focus on investigating the slaves in Xinyi Courtyard, and get back to me as soon as there is news." Shao Changyun shook his head and said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhang Jing paused slightly and asked, "If this person is found, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's rude to come and not to communicate." Shao Changyun's tone was extremely light, but he swept straight through the nine heavens with a cold glow. "Since her master has sent me a good play, how can I be rude."

"Aren't you afraid that after the eldest lady marries into the Xie Mansion, she will retaliate wantonly?" Zhang Jing said worriedly.

"It's just a reminder to kill chickens and monkeys, just to remind you. She's a smart person and she understands. Shao Changyun turned around and chuckled, his words changed suddenly, and he said in a clear tone: "However, it still depends on whether Uncle Zhang can find out this person." ”

You have to know all the things that have followed, and let's see the next breakdown.
