Chapter 10: Antique Shops (10)

The sky is gradually dawning, the earth is hazy, and the wisps of morning light in the distant mountains are rapidly rising, dispelling the thick fog, and the clouds are like blood.

When Mingyue found Su Yunkai, she only felt that the bloodshot in his eyes was like a glow, showing exhaustion.

As soon as Su Yunkai came out of the yamen, he saw Mingyue, and saw the pastry she was carrying, and stretched out his hand and said, "I'm just hungry." ”

Mingyue handed it to him, and seeing that there was no one behind the yamen, she said, "Have you found a husband?" ”

"Found it, searched for six people, and found one. took him through the back door to see Lord Qin, he had just left through the back door, and he would let him come out to testify for Ge Cheng in the future. ”

Mingyue's eyes lit up, "Did the husband really see Ge Xiangyin go back before then?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that he took the pastry to eat, Mingyue gave him the water bladder he was holding again. Su Yunkai drank it, but it turned out to be chicken soup. The chicken soup is rich and moist, and the teeth are still fragrant, and it is still so early, and I don't know what time she got up to boil it.

He always felt that Mingyue was unusually good to him, but he couldn't detect the slightest malice and scheming, which made him feel even more incredible.

Bright Moon Bright Moon ...... Have the two met before?

After drinking the chicken soup, the tiredness of running all night was also removed from the bones. He handed her back the water bladder food box and the sachet, and then said, "It's just right to tell the secret in front of the yamen, few people have eyes and ears, and I will tell you about changing your husband." ”

Mingyue also looked around vigilantly to make sure that there was no one, and then said, "Say it." ”

"The husband's name is Cheng Da, and when he came to play the watch that night, he did see Ge Songyin appearing on the street before, which was in the opposite direction from Bai Bao Zhen, and Cheng Da's route was Bai Bao Zhen. In other words, Cheng Da can prove that Ge Cheng is innocent. After all, according to the autopsy, the Liu family was poisoned only later. ”

"The evidence that Ge Cheng is not a murderer can be regarded as found, and now Lord Qin should believe it completely."

"It's just," Su Yunkai continued, "Cheng Da also saw someone that night. ”

Mingyue's eyes lit up, "Could it be a murderer?" ”

Su Yunkai nodded, "The husband is going to go back to guard the drip after the shift, and when he went back, he found that someone was hurrying from the end of the street with a bunch of things in his arms, and the direction he left was Baibaozhen." ”

Without waiting for him to say anything, Mingyue showed pity, "That Cheng Da must not have seen that person's face, if he did, now Brother Bai and they would have gone everywhere to arrest people and post notices, and Ge Cheng has also come out of prison, right?" ”

Su Yunkai saw that she understood a little bit, and said with a smile, "Smart." ”

"But I still don't know what the murderer looks like, and that person may not be the murderer, there are no surprises in the world, what if it's a coincidence."

"There's no hurry, wait two days."

"You should also go back to the inn to rest first, and I will call you immediately when there is news."

Xu is young, Su Yunkai, who has been running all night, does not feel too tired, he has just eaten a full stomach, and he feels more energetic as the rising sun, but now it is fine, it is good to recuperate his spirit. I said goodbye to her and went back to the inn.

Mingyue waited for him to leave, and was about to go home, and after walking a few steps, she felt that she could do something. He turned around and went into the yamen to look for Bai Shui.

Mingyue was born beautifully, and the people in the yamen are all men, and it is impossible to see her in and out every day without thinking anything else. It's just that the officials know that this girl from the Ming family is protected by a white catcher, and she looks like a couple. Not to mention that Bai Shui is one of the best head catchers in their Nanle County, this handsome face alone is a big cut better than these rough men, standing with Mingyue, that is a pair of beautiful people.

So now that Mingyue comes, she can only be watched and protected as a sister. came in early in the morning with a food box, and a servant quipped, "It's your brother Bai again?" ”

"It's an empty box, and it was just given away at the door."

The official said unexpectedly, "Who?" "Who could be more important than the White Catcher?

"It's that Su Gongzi."

A few officials were surprised, and when she left, they smiled again, "The position of the white catcher is not guaranteed." But it's also appropriate to bury yourself in the case all day long, and let such a pretty person not accompany you. ”

"Not really. But what is the origin of Su Gongzi? When the case was decided, it was really powerful, and even Lord Qin seemed to be in awe of him. ”

"Who knows, they will decide their case, and we will only be responsible for arresting people."

"Yes."

……

The yamen was wide and bright, and the whispers of the officials could not reach Mingyue's ears.

Bai Shui was about to go out on patrol, just after the second gate, he saw the apricot-colored girl running over, her tense face was also slightly smiling, and when she ran closer, she reached out to take the food box, "I'm just hungry." ”

Mingyue immediately smiled, "I'm done eating for Master Su." ”

"......," Bai Shui was quite angry, "the daffodils that have been seen for several years are about to be plucked." Then come with me to breakfast. ”

"Okay, you're going to patrol later, right?"

"Hmm."

"Then come with me to take a walk around Baibaozhen."

Bai Shui turned his head to look at her, "You really got interested in the case, what's the matter, it's because of that Su Gongzi?" ”

Mingyue nodded, "That's right." ”

Bai Shui shook his head, "Be careful, after all, he is from an unknown source, although he is smart, he still has to be guarded." ”

"Brother Bai." Mingyue leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "He is Su Yunkai." ”

The pinna of the ear was slightly warmed by her breath, and when she left, Bai Shui touched her ear, secretly read the name twice, and suddenly remembered, "Your bean bag brother?" ”

Mingyue's cheeks flushed, and she nodded her head very quickly and lightly in acknowledgement. The eyes suddenly became brighter, and the girl's family was a little shy, and the whole person was even brighter. Seeing Bai Shui, he couldn't help but say, "No wonder you believe him so much, but thirteen years have passed, and the person who stopped the vicious dog for you at the beginning may now push you in front of the vicious dog." ”

"Think about the name again."

Bai Shui frowned, isn't it the three words she has been thinking about, Su Yunkai Su Yunkai, Su ...... He was stunned, surprised, "That Su Yunkai from the Daimyo Mansion Road?" ”

Mingyue's eyebrows bent, and she was a little proud, "Now you know why I believe him, right?" ”

The expected surprise turned into contemplation, and it seemed that I had fallen into a pit at once, not knowing what I was thinking. Mingyue called him twice, but he didn't answer, and when he shook his arm, Bai Shui raised his eyes, thoughtfully, "I heard that his father served as the secretary of Dali Temple in Kaifeng and was a great official in Kyoto. ”

Mingyue was a little uneasy, "You still want to go to Kaifeng to find your brother, right?" ”

"Think, how can you not want to!" At the mention of his brother, Bai Shui clenched the hilt of the knife, his eyes were torches, and he was so reluctant that his voice sank, "My brother disappeared inexplicably in Kaifeng five years ago, and he was obviously investigating the case at that time, but he suddenly disappeared. ”

Bai Shui thought that he might not be alive anymore, but even if it were, he wanted to know why it happened. And he is obviously an official of the imperial court, why did he hastily close the case after his disappearance. He always felt that his brother's disappearance was related to the case he investigated, but it was all speculation. Only by going to Kaifeng can it be possible to find out the truth.

However, I have no way, let alone Kaifeng, and even go to the state, no one cares.

That's why he worked so hard in the county, thinking that he could be promoted to Kyoto in his lifetime, so that he could better investigate his brother's affairs.

Mingyue shook his hand lightly again, and said softly, "Don't think too much, I'll take you to eat the newly opened noodle stall." ”

Bai Shui responded, but his tone was still a little stiff, but this did not affect Mingyue's mood of taking him to eat noodles in the slightest. How has he come over the past few years, Mingyue doesn't dare to say that she knows best, but she can also rank in the top three.

"By the way, didn't you say that you would go to Baibaozhen later? What else are you going to do there? ”

"It's going to the neighborhood." Mingyue looked around and saw that no one was listening, so he said, "He just told me that he saw someone sneakily leaving from Baibaozhen in the middle of the night with a bunch of things. So I wanted to go and go over again and see where the road I left led to. ”

"Huh? He had just said this in front of Lord Qin. Bai Shui finally smiled, "Lord Qin was almost annoyed by him, but he was surprisingly patient. ”

"Now Lord Qin has no way out, the credit for handling this case is his, and if it is not done well, he can still hold Su Gongzi accountable, what a good thing." Mingyue pursed her lips and contemptuous of this practice, "Also, the murderer drank lizuki wine, and the dishes served were heavy and greasy, but at that time it was already Shen Shi, and there would definitely not be too many stores opened, let's go around and ask which stores were opened that night, maybe the store can be a little impressed." ”

Bai Shui was surprised, "Su Gongzi also mentioned this to me, and asked me to investigate." He smiled, "Yes, now I have a good idea." ”

Mingyue blinked, "He didn't tell me." ”

"It's for your own good not to tell you, you're a girl after all, this kind of thing is right to talk to me, the head catcher. Sue you, what if the murderer finds out, how dangerous. He's doing it for your own good, and you're still complaining about him. ”

Mingyue thought about it, and her heart became comfortable, and she said happily, "Okay, but I still thought of this, you have to go, I'll go with you." I'm also half a puppet, and I've also examined Liu's body, so if I really meet the murderer, I can see more things than you. ”

Bai Shui knew her temper, and she didn't find out that she could still let her stay at home honestly, but she found out by herself, and she couldn't stop it, even if he didn't bring it, she would run out by herself, and it would be more dangerous when the time came, so she said, "Then let's go, let's start with a nearby restaurant first." ”

"Change your official uniform first, and don't bring a big knife."

"Okay, okay."
