21. Revisit the old things

21 The old things are brought up again

Zhang Qirui was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to accept the way of greeting this brother who stopped on the ground.

He wasn't to blame for this, because even Tang Ai was a little surprised.

"Brother Tai is from King Hui's Mansion, why don't you go with the prince?" Zhang Qirui strives to maintain the etiquette of a scholar.

"The person who was invited to dinner is King Hui and not me, what's the use of following along?" The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth rose, and Qing Ning calmly walked to Tang Ai and Zhang Qirui's side, "The night is just right, Boss Zhang and Lord Xiao Tang are chatting just right, and it just so happens that I also have a few words I want to talk to Boss Zhang." ”

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk...... How did Boss Zhang unknowingly put Sima Xiongqi and the three adults to death. ”

This time it was Tang Ai's turn to be calm.

Zhang Qirui hadn't spoken yet, but she couldn't hide her acquaintance with Xiao Yu.

Shouldn't the suspect be King Hui, who has been locked? How could Xiao Yu suddenly point the finger at Boss Zhang again?

It's incredible.

Zhang Qirui's reaction at this time was quite calm: "Brother Tai is not from the Huiwang Mansion, but belongs to the six doors like Lord Xiao Tang?" I don't know the three adults, and Brother Tai wants to say that I have something to do with the deaths of several adults, so dare to ask Brother Tai, where is the evidence? ”

Tang Ai also said: "Xiao Yu, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately." Let's talk about it first, where did Boss Zhang get the motive for the crime? ”

Xiao Yu pulled Tang Ai to his side: "Do you remember the road near Beihai that has not been repaired for eight hundred years?" It's the one you can't think of jumping into the pit. ”

"What can't you think of?! If you talk nonsense again, beware that I tore you up! Tang Ai pinched him fiercely, his eyes flashing with Samadhi True Fire, "What's wrong if that road can't be repaired?" Could it be that that road is still involved in this case? ”

"Let's put it this way, the person who is involved in the case is the person who presided over the repair of the road." Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Qirui unhurriedly, "Boss Zhang, did you say?" ”

Zhang Qirui is still very calm: "I don't quite understand what Brother Tai means. ”

Xiao Yu: "Then I'll make it clearer." At that time, the project was presided over by Zhang Hongfang, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and the project was originally progressing smoothly, but Zhang was suddenly impeached, and died in the prison of Dali Temple soon after, and the project was put on hold indefinitely. ”

"Getting to the point!" Tang Ai was impatient.

Xiao Yu: "That's the point." It is said that Lord Zhang was dragged into the water by an anonymous report letter, and this letter was first delivered to Yin Sima Xuan of Shuntian Mansion. Lord Zhang is an important member of the imperial court, and the officials are naturally responsible, so Xiong Guozheng, the waiter, came forward to take over. Also involved in the investigation and evidence collection were Liu Heyu of Six Doors and Qi Xiuyuan of the Inspectorate. ”

Tang Ai: "Why is there such a connection between several adults...... But what's the matter with Boss Zhang? ”

Xiao Yu: "Some people say that Zhang Hongfang has an only son who travels abroad all the year round. After Mrs. Zhang died in prison, Mrs. Zhang was grief-stricken and hanged herself at home. Coincidentally, Boss Zhang not only has the same surname as Lord Zhang, but also seems to have traveled overseas in his early years. Boss Zhang, is that so? ”

At this point, Tang Ai really can't say anything if he can't hear the clue - according to Xiao Yu's meaning, Boss Zhang should be the son of Master Zhang, and Boss Zhang's motive for committing the crime has an almost reasonable explanation.

He was avenging his father.

Sima Xuan, Xiong Guozheng, and Qi Xiuyuan were all killed, and only Liu and Yu were rescued by Tang Ai and became the only fish that slipped through the net.

Zhang Qirui's face changed slightly: "There are many coincidences in the world, and what Brother Tai just said is just your baseless speculation." ”

"Whether it's speculation or fact, Boss Zhang knows it." Xiao Yu looked at him calmly, "Lord Zhang is an official with a clean sleeve, and his case is quite suspicious. However, in the end, the case was found and the stolen goods were recovered, and Master Zhang was still sentenced to prison, and soon committed suicide in prison, and his death was very tragic. ”

Zhang Qirui clenched his fists, knuckles rattling. He stared at Xiao Yu, suddenly smiled to himself, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, he'...... He was framed to death! ”

When he said "father", he completely admitted that he was Zhang Hongfang's son.

Not only admitted this identity, but he also told another secret - Zhang Hong's case was likely to be an unjust case.

Tang Ai's gaze was fixed on Zhang Qirui: "Boss Zhang, is the death of those adults really your doing?" ”

Zhang Qirui has regained his initial calmness: "Whether it is the Six Doors or Dali Temple, the case is handled by evidence." Those three adults clearly committed suicide, how can you say that I am a murderer of people's lives based on my father alone. ”

He was right, Xiao Yu's previous series of statements were all empty words.

Tang Ai anxiously tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Hey, if you can't come up with evidence, you're spraying people with blood!" ”

Xiao Yu grinned at her: "Don't worry, the evidence is already very close to us." ”

Without waiting for Tang Ai to question, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Qirui again: "Boss Zhang, King Hui said that he really wanted to see the incense making workshop in the mountains, I don't know if there is anything special about the incense made there?" Can we also go around? ”

Zhang Qirui's face did not change: "The spices produced in the incense workshop are all common, some of them have the effect of calming the mind, and the rest are not different." The prince was just a whim at that time and asked a few questions. ”

Xiao Yu smiled briskly: "Since Boss Zhang said that the spices of the incense workshop are not a big deal, then it shouldn't matter if you take us to take a look, right?" ”

Tang Ai didn't understand why Xiao Yu had to hold on to the incense shop. She remembered that when she was in Dongpo Building, Zhang Qirui also burned incense in the room, and the spices were elegant and pleasant, and now she thinks that it may be made by the incense workshop in this mountain.

However, what does this incense shop have to do with the case?

She was puzzled.

Xiao Yu brought his eyes close to Tang Ai's head, slowly raised his left hand, pinched his thumb and index finger on Tang Ai's eyebrows, and then expanded the distance between his fingertips little by little.

When he stretched his fingers into a figure of eight, Tang Ai's tightly twisted eyebrows were gently stretched out by him.

This guy ...... It's this trick again!

Tang Ai suddenly blushed and his neck was thick, and his lungs were about to explode: "Xiao Yu, what are you, your hands, doing!" ”

Xiao Yu rubbed his arm on the ground, quickly dodged Tang Ai's slap, and said with a smile: "Don't always frown, you're not afraid of wrinkles." ”

"What does it matter to you if I don't have wrinkles! You can take care of it! You can take care of it! ”

"Okay, don't get excited, don't get excited, it's me who cares." Xiao Yu blinked innocently, assumed a posture of admitting his mistake, and hid his left hand behind his back.

The two of you said a word, and Zhang Qirui was directly put aside.

"Ahem." He even coughed twice on purpose to show his save.

"You wait, don't think I won't clean you up!" Tang Ai glared at Xiao Yu fiercely, turned his face to face Zhang Qirui, and said solemnly, "Boss Zhang, please take us to the incense factory." ”

Zhang Qirui said coldly: "I didn't expect even Lord Xiao Tang to be so insistent." I really don't know what's wrong with the incense shop, but if I can clear my suspicion by going there, please come with me. ”

"Youβ€”stay away from me!" Tang Ai stabbed Xiao Yu away with his elbow, and the wind widened the distance between him and him.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, he didn't know what he muttered to himself, and obediently followed behind, only the clear peach blossom eyes, full of brilliance, looked at Tang Ai from a distance, not far away.

This night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the mountains are still there. The breeze and the moon seem to be able to always flirt with people's thoughts as if nothing happened, and Tang Ai unconsciously walked faster than Zhang Qirui.

Zhang Qirui asked behind her, "Lord Xiao Tang, are you ...... What do you see? ”

Tang Ai nodded intently.

Indeed, she saw a little...... Very amazing stuff.

And it had captured her full attention.

Zhang Qirui asked again: "Lord Xiao Tang, are you interested in what you see?" ”

Tang Ai also nodded again.

She was very interested, very interested!

"Then Lord Xiao Tang, are you willing to pursue that thing?"

"I ...... Willing. ”

"Even if it takes your life?"

"Even if it takes your life."

Zhang Qirui smiled, smiling inexplicably. He slowed down, and then he retreated.

Tang Ai is still moving forward step by step, walking faster and faster, climbing higher and higher, as if entering a no-man's land.

As a result, a magnificent and strange picture came naturally.

The magnificence of this picture is mainly composed of the following three scenes: a full moon that occupies most of the sky, a beautiful mountain rising from the middle of the low mountains, and a clear spring and blue bay embedded in the green mountains.

And in charge of the weird part are three bundles of figures with different postures: one is crawling up the hillside, looking fierce and abnormal; A bunch of them retreated secretly, looking left and right from time to time; There is also a bouquet of ghostly foxes floating around quietly, like waiting for an opportunity in the dark night, hiding their bodies in corners where the moonlight does not shine.

These three beams of shadows are not difficult to distinguish at all, the first bundle is Tang Ai, the second bundle is Zhang Qirui, and the third bundle is Xiao Yu.

However, in just an instant, Xiao Yu had changed his posture, like a speeding meteor rising vertically, so fast that people didn't have time to blink their eyes.

Although the process is fast, there have been too many twists and turns.

Xiao Yu first swept towards Zhang Qirui, who was about to escape.

not only stopped Zhang Qirui, but he also clicked on Zhang Qirui's acupoint and said a word in Zhang Qirui's ear. And, this sentence is still very long.

He said: "Boss Zhang, I don't deny that there may be grievances in your father's case, but Tang Ai is not your enemy, and it is not wise to take action against her." If she doesn't have anything to do, forget it, but if she has something to do with her three strengths and two shortcomings, then Boss Zhang, you, will be ready to be revenged by me. ”

How Xiao Yu managed to do so much kung fu in the blink of an eye than to live so many actions and say so many words, it is estimated that even Zhang Qirui will not know. In short, from the time he left this sentence in front of Zhang Qirui to the time he flew towards Tang Ai, he didn't touch the ground on his toes, without the slightest lag in the middle.

At this time, Tang Ai was still chasing after the things that made her willing to dedicate her body and mind, and she persevered. She had climbed to the top of the cliff, her arms raised in the face of the night, and she repeated the same word in her mouth.

"Xiangyun...... Xiangyunβ€”" With a misty and obsessive look, she stepped out of the edge of the cliff.
