Chapter 61: The Mystery of the Killing (11)
Early the next morning, Haotian and Haoyue were discussing matters in the study, and the left wing rushed back from outside: "Lord Wang, there is a clue to the jewelry that the third lady has missing. ”
Haotian put down the fold in his hand and motioned for him to continue.
Zuo Yi paused and said: "The spies under his command found out that one of the third lady's jade hairpins fell into the Ningxiang Pavilion, the largest song and dance workshop in the capital, and this hairpin is now owned by the Oiran Leng Lianxue there, as for why the third lady's hosta came to this woman's hands, it is not very clear, and it needs to be verified." ”
Haoyue asked, "Leng Lianxue?" Is it the Oiran that people often say is the best in color and art? ”
Zuo Yi nodded and said: "This woman is very famous in the wind and dust circle, many princes and grandsons have been to Ningxiang Pavilion to cheer for this woman, Ningxiang Pavilion can be said to be known to everyone in the capital, it is said" Zuo Yi paused: "It is said that Leng Lianxue is still the confidant of the Nine Princes, and the Nine Princes often visit the Ningxiang Pavilion during this time." ”
There was a hint of surprise in Haotian's eyes.
Haoyue smiled loudly on the side: "It turns out that the famous Leng Lianxue is the confidant of the ninth brother, but I have never heard of this before, interesting!" ”
Zuo Yi said: "The people under him got the news that the Nine Princes often stayed in the Ning Xiang Pavilion and drank and enjoyed singing and dancing all night. ”
Haoyue smiled narrowly: "Where is he still staying?" The sixth brother might as well investigate the origin of the jasper hairpin, and we will meet the cold and merciful snow, what kind of fairy-like character makes the ninth brother forget to return? ”
Inside the Incense Pavilion.
Leng Lianxue was talking to a girl, and there was a noise from the attic outside, and she walked to the window and looked down, and couldn't help frowning.
Someone said: "Still putting up a shelf in front of this son? I'm willing to come over to support the creation of your Ning Xiang Pavilion! ”
The bustard's mother of Ningxiang Pavilion smiled and said, "What the son said is that it's just that the girl is a little inconvenient today, so it's better to teach other girls to accompany you." ”
Then I heard a woman's voice: "That's it, isn't it true that the son dislikes the slave family's song and dance is not beautiful." ”
The boy sneered: "I have to see Leng Lianxue today." Then he rushed upstairs.
Leng Lianxue frowned and said, "This person is the most difficult, I'm afraid it will take some effort to send him away." ”
The arrogant boy had already barged in, followed by two family members, and a few dancing girls: "The fame is big, the shelf is also big, even my Young Master Meng dares to prevaricate." ”
Leng Lianxue showed her usual smile: "How dare Lianxue put up a stand in front of Mr. Qian, it's just that she is a little unwell today, so she refuses to see guests." ”
Young Master Meng sneered: "Not feeling well? What is the purpose of setting up such a large table of banquets? A fist slammed into the wine table, and the dishes on the table clanged.
A dancing girl was jealous of Leng Lianxue's usual limelight, and deliberately added fuel and vinegar and said: "Presumably Lianxue wants to entertain some distinguished guests, right?" ”
Young Master Meng's face became even more ugly: "Distinguished guest? I, Young Master Meng, am not a distinguished guest? provoked me to hum, and burned your incense pavilion with a fire. His words frightened the bustard mother on the side, and hurriedly glanced at Leng Lianxue.
Leng Lianxue sighed, and was about to say something soft, when someone at the door said coldly: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability yet." ”
Leng Lianxue was surprised and delighted when she saw this person: "Ninth Master." ”
The person who came was the Nine Princes Haoyang.
Haoyang didn't even look at Young Master Meng, he walked straight to Leng Lianxue's side, and just as he was about to speak, Young Master Meng came to him in a few steps: "You dare to underestimate me, offending me is impatient to live, be careful that I can't let you eat and walk around!" ”
Haoyang's face was covered with a layer of frost, and the chill in the narrow phoenix eyes became more and more intense, and he just wanted to have a seizure but heard someone snickering: "Some people don't know when they die." ”
Everyone was taken aback, turned their heads and looked back, and saw four men standing at the door at some point, and the two in front were extremely outstanding.
The dancing girls looked at Haoyang, and then at the two at the door, and secretly exclaimed, what day is today, how could there be such three handsome men with different characteristics together.
The two dancing girls couldn't hold back the admiration in their hearts, greeted them, and said with a smile: "Childe looks very angry, it's the first time to visit Ningxiang Pavilion, right?" ”
One of the men had a cold gaze like a blade, and his face was cold: "Get out of the way." ”
The dancing girl was immediately shocked, and she didn't dare to move forward.
Haoyang showed surprise on his face when he first saw Haotian and Haoyue, but that little bit of surprise was fleeting, replaced by a smile like a spring wind: "I didn't expect to meet the sixth brother and the tenth brother here." ”
Leng Lianxue knew Haoyang's identity, and was taken aback when she saw Haoyang's name for Haotian and Haoyue.
Haoyang came to the wine table, pointed to the chair and said, "Sixth brother, tenth brother, please." ”
Haotian and Haoyue walked over with a smile and sat opposite Haoyang.
Young Master Meng saw that there were two more people out of thin air and called Haoyang brothers, so he muttered in his heart, this person has several more helpers, but he didn't bring so many people today, so he no longer has the arrogance just now, standing there, wondering how to find a step for himself.
Haotian saw the jasper hairpin on Leng Lianxue's bun, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he really looked a little familiar, but he didn't pay attention to women's jewelry on weekdays, so he wasn't sure if it was the third lady's one, so he looked at the left wing beside him.
The left immediately understood what he was thinking.
Leng Lianxue saw that Haotian had been looking at her, her face couldn't help but turn red, and at this moment, a figure flashed in front of her, and someone said, "Offended." Leng Lianxue only felt a lightness on her head, and when she looked up, she saw that her hairpin had fallen into the hands of the left wing, and she was stunned.
Zuo Yi looked at it carefully and said: "The master's jade hairpin is the third lady's jasper hairpin, which is exactly the same as the one depicted by the maidservant Ah Xiang, and it is carved with the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix. ”
Haotian saw Haoyang looking at him puzzled, so he said: "Presumably, the ninth brother also heard about the tragic death of the third lady of the sixth brother, and some of the jewelry of the third lady was also mysteriously lost, and the people under him found out that the third lady's jasper hairpin fell into the hands of this girl, so he came over to ask the reason," turned his gaze to Leng Lianxue, and asked slowly: "I don't know how Miss Leng got this hairpin."
Leng Lianxue's face turned a little pale: "Naturally, I naturally bought a jade shop called 'Yang Family Old Store' at the front street."
Haotian nodded, gesturing to the left flank. The left wing returned the hosta in his hand to Leng Lianxue.
Leng Lianxue looked at Haotian timidly.
Haotian said slowly: "The girl bought it for money, then it will naturally belong to the girl." ”
Knowing the origin of this hairpin, Leng Lianxue would never insert it into her hair again, and stood there at a loss.
The fragrant wind gusted, and a group of dancing girls walked in with a smile, and the woman who walked in front laughed coquettishly: "Lianxue, you are so lively here," Seeing Haoyang, he greeted him, "The ninth master has come to the field of mercy again, and he is also worried about the slave family." ”
The other women saw Haotian and Haoyue also swarmed around: "The two sons are so handsome, where do they come from?" What's your last name? ”
Haoyue at the wine table was quite polite to these warblers and Yanyan who suddenly came, smiling without obvious refusal, Haotian's face had already shown a look of boredom, and a handsome face was as cold as an iceberg, but this group of women didn't know how to observe words and looks, so they kept leaning towards him.
When Young Master Meng saw that many dancing girls were surrounding Haotian, he suddenly became angry, walked in front of Haotian, and said viciously: "Who are you?" Dare to be rude to the uncle? As he spoke, a palm reached Haotian's chest.
Haotian looked impatient, and pushed him away with a block of his hand, and Young Master Meng stood unsteadily and crashed towards Haoyang.
Haoyang's eyes didn't blink, he reached out and flicked Young Master Meng's right arm, and in an understatement, he actually broke Young Master Meng's arm.
Young Master Meng screamed like a pig, and the two family members he brought over hurriedly supported him, and one of them said boldly: "My son-in-law's uncle is Lord Yulang of the Right Soldier Department, and you can get into a big disaster!" ”
Haotian's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and said to the left and right wings: "Send him back, if his uncle is really the Imperial Lord, please trouble the Imperial Lord to come to the Six Princes' Mansion." After speaking, he ignored Haoyang and Haoyue and left alone.
Early the next morning, when she came to the door of the study, Zitong faintly heard the sound of Haotian talking to the left wing, she hesitated and stood at the door for a while, and finally changed her mind.
Unconsciously, Zitong went around to the back of the study, and there was a window that was ajar, and Haotian's voice came out clearly.
Zitong involuntarily stopped.
Haotian tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What do the people from the 'Yang family's old store' say?" ”
Zuo Yi said: "Because the hosta bought that day is more valuable, so it was the boss of their family personally inspected the goods, the boss of the Yang family said that it should not have been bought like that, but the person who sold the hosta at that time said that there was a change in the family and needed money urgently, he saw that it was a young woman, and he heard very pitiful words, and then saw that the hosta was the best product in terms of jade quality and carving skills, so he made an exception." ”
After hearing this, Haotian asked, "Does he remember the woman's appearance?" ”
Zuo Yi said: "He vaguely remembered that it was a tall woman, with a slightly plump body, although she was dressed decently, but she didn't look like a lady from her speech and demeanor, and he still remembered that the woman had a black mole the size of a bean on the side of her mouth, and from his description, his subordinates thought of a person." ”
Haotian asked, "What person?" ”
Zuo Yi replied: "It turns out that Xiaolan, the servant girl who serves the third lady, her appearance is somewhat similar to what the boss of the Yang family said, and that Xiaolan also happens to have a black mole at the corner of her mouth, and her subordinates think that she is the person next to the third lady, if she has any idea, stealing the jewelry of the third lady, and then selling it is not impossible, but I don't know if she is related to the murderer who killed the third lady." ”
Haotian nodded and said, "Whether it is related or not, you must inquire carefully." You go to the girl to ask clearly, and the more secret this matter is, the better, if there is anything abnormal, you must pay attention to beware of startling the snake. ”
The left wing nodded and replied: "The subordinates understand, the prince can rest assured." ”
The windows of the study suddenly all opened, and Haotian stood there: "Isn't it cold to stand outside for so long?" ”
Zitong immediately realized that this was an extremely bad behavior, her face turned red, and she said very embarrassedly: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I originally had something to say to the prince, but I saw that the prince was busy and then I inadvertently walked here, and the window happened to be ajar again." ”
Haotian interrupted her: "I asked you if you were cold?" ”
At this time in late autumn, Zitong was in a hurry when she came out of the room, so she was dressed relatively thinly, and after Haotian asked this, she really felt that her whole body was cold, but she shook her head and said, "It's not cold." ”
Haotian frowned and stretched out his arm from the window: "Hand it to me." ”
Zi Tong didn't think about it, and handed his hand to Haotian very obediently.
When her cold fingers touched Haotian's palm, Haotian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he gently pulled Zitong to the window: "Since you have something to say to me, why don't you come in?" ”
Zitong looked at the door of the study: "I'll come in." ”
Haotian shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome. ”
Before Zi Tong could figure out what Haotian meant, he gently lifted her shoulders up, and by the time she reacted, her person was already standing in the room.
