Chapter 29: Murder
Yuan Xiang was a little helpless, and said: "Last time, Concubine Xian said that she would not let you bask in the sun for a long time, do you think you should take a fan to cover it?" ”
Xuanhui touched his body and smiled at Pei Minzhong: "Pei Shizi, you forgot to prepare a fan for me." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Pei Minzhong heard this, he took off the fan on his body and handed it over with the fan cover.
Xuanhui took it and took a closer look, the dark red pattern was embroidered on the dark blue fan cover, but it was a set of "Four Gentlemen" pictures. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Pei Shizi's objects are exquisite, this set of four gentlemen, although it is just a fan cover, it takes a lot of effort to get it!" The people around me really have a heart. ”
Liang Zan smiled: "Since when did you also know the kung fu of needlework?" I remember that I haven't taken a needle once in half a year, and among the three sisters, it's you, right? ”
Xuanhui was embarrassed, it seems that his grandmother has never used her heart in needlework. But no one has ever asked for the princess's female red. If you are good at this, the princess is a good woman, and no one will say anything. Her eyesight and female celebrity all come from the hard days of her previous life, and she has to follow her mother to do needlework every day, and then ask the eunuch to take it out and sell it. Otherwise, the monthly routine of the mother and daughter is not enough to even reward the minions.
As he was talking, there was a burst of people boiling by the lake, and Xuan Hui hurriedly took a clairvoyant mirror to look, but found that today's top spot was not Fuyuan Dart Game, but a paddler who wore red, wore a black hat, and tied a cyan corset.
Pei Minzhong asked the people around him: "Rong Zhen, can you see what happened just now?" ”
Pei Rongzhen replied: "If you go back to the world, just now my subordinates saw that someone seemed to be injured on the side of the Fuyuan Dart Bureau. They suddenly slowed down when they were still a stone's throw from the shore. After that, it was surpassed by this one. ”
Pei Minzhong and Liang Zan exchanged a look, and Liang Zan said, "I'm afraid that someone wants money." It's none of our business, don't bother. ”
Xuan Huihun didn't care about their words, and only looked at Pei Rongzhen with his eyes. Seeing that he was eighteen or nineteen years old, he was quite tall and well-proportioned and strong, and he looked like a person who practiced martial arts. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, a heroic appearance.
Looking at Yuan Xiang who is dressed as a little guy today, Xuanhui can't help laughing, and thinks that the two heroes and beauties are still quite compatible.
Liang Zan glanced at Xuanhui and said, "You can get what you want today, let's go back!" Go to Xiyuan to change clothes and hurry back to the palace. If it's too late, the flaws will come out. ”
Immediately, a few people went downstairs, and as soon as they arrived at the hall on the first floor, they saw that everyone was talking, as if something had happened.
Pei Minzhong really glanced at Pei Rong, so he went over to find someone to inquire. After a while, he came back to report: "Your Highness, the prince, two people have died in the oarsmen of the Fuyuan Dart Bureau. ”
Pei Minzhong turned his head to look at Xuanhui, and saw that although she was a little surprised, she was not at a loss, and her heart was slightly relieved. He said to Liang Zhan: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the minister is going to the lake to have a look, and I can't escort the two back to the palace, and I ask for forgiveness." I'll let Rong Zhen go back with you. ”
Liang Zan said: "You are in Jinyiwei, this is where the duty lies, don't worry about us." Go ahead! We're leaving. With that, he waved his hand to let people follow, and left with Xuanhui.
Pei Minzhong took people to the dragon boat assembly place on the other side of Jingxi Lake, and saw that the people from Shuntianfu had arrived, so he showed them the brocade clothes and waist cards, and asked to check the scene together.
Shuntianfu came from a pusher from the sixth grade, and when he saw that Jinyiwei was also here, he couldn't help but be a little frightened. Under inquiry, he found out that it was the prince of Chengguo, which added a little panic. Pei Minzhong didn't say much, and asked someone to bring today's Fuyuan dart game and the winner's oarsman to question.
When the people from the Fuyuan Dart Bureau arrived, they kowtowed and bowed, begging Pei Minzhong to call the shots for their companions. Pei Minzhong asked, "Which of you is clearer, get up and tell me about the situation." ”
They looked at each other, and one of the oarsmen stepped forward and said, "If you go back to your lordship, we will be together this morning." The dart game rewarded us with a good meal and food, and came over after eating. I only drank water in the middle and didn't eat anything else. At that time, rowing, the two who went were on the bow of the boat, and the other was in the middle of the boat. We were all rowing with our heads bored, and we didn't pay attention to anything else. When he was about to reach the shore, he saw the bow of the ship swinging a few times, and he rushed forward and fell down. I don't see the one in the middle. Listen to the brother who sat in the back, he also fell. ”
After speaking, the people below echoed one after another.
Pei Minzhong called the winner again and asked, "Who is your master's family?" Have you ever been to dragon boat racing in previous years? ”
A person who looked like a steward hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you go back to your lordship, our lord's house is Chen Ji Grain Store in the capital. These rowers were found by our lord's family at the end of last year. This year is the first time to come back to the dragon boat race. ”
Pei Minzhong frowned, and felt more and more that there was something strange in it. After thinking for a moment, he asked the oarsman of Chen Ji Grain Company, "Where did your lord's family invite you from?" Did you know each other before? ”
The housekeeper of the Chen family said with a smile: "We won the game today, and we haven't reported it to our family yet." Our master family has some relatives with the chief housekeeper of the Cheng'en Mansion, and I also ask Master Pei to raise his noble hand. Besides, the dead man's is from that side, and it has nothing to do with us, right? ”
Pei Minzhong raised his eyes and looked at him, and there was an entourage beside him who scolded: "Who are you talking to about us?" Who is with us? Don't even look at who is in front of you? Beware of your dog's teeth! ”
The steward hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one doesn't dare!" ”
At this time, the person who went outside to inquire had already returned, and said to Pei Minzhong: "Chen Ji's oarsman used to work in the Chunwang Mansion. Later, King Chun no longer participated in the dragon boat race, so he dismissed them. At the end of last year, Chen Ji's boss came forward to reconvene them, saying that they were going to participate in this year's Dragon Boat Race. ”
Pei Min Center is clear, Chen Ji Grain Store, Chunwang Mansion, Chengen Mansion, interesting.
Here, Xuanhui changed her clothes in Xiyuan, and put the clothes that Pei Minzhong had prepared for them back into her baggage, and she didn't know what to do with it. Pei Rongzhen stepped forward and said, "Please give the princess the clothes to the villain, and the villain will dispose of them properly." ”
Xuan Hui felt that something was wrong, but Liang Zan went to the racecourse to explain a few words to the people who were waiting there. She was heartbroken, thinking that Pei Minzhong must be safe in doing things, so she handed over the burden to Pei Rongzhen.
Xuanhui still returned to the palace in a sedan chair. Along the way, she kept playing with the newly bought flower basket, thinking about what she had seen and heard today, and she was very happy.
When she arrived at Chengqian Palace, she handed over the flower basket to Yuan Xiang to put back in her bedroom, and then came to the palace of Concubine Xian.
Seeing her smiling and dusty face, Concubine Xian thought that she was tired from riding, so she quickly asked her to sit down and rest, and called someone to beat her legs. Xuanhui leaned on the big pillow and didn't want to move. She really wanted to tell Concubine Xian about today's events, but she was afraid that she would be angry, so she had to hold it in her heart.
Concubine Xian looked at her for a while, and said suspiciously, "You wore earrings to go out today, right?" What's missing? ”
