Ou Zhengxue looked at the broken silver wrapped in red cotton cloth in Jiang's mother's hand, frowned, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

She beckoned Xiao Qing'er to dress herself up, and then got up and went to the front hall.

When I entered the door, I found that the hall was empty. When she was puzzled, Mother Jiang arrived and said with a smile: "This guest officer said that you must listen to the music first and then get to know people." Therefore, several of them are behind the screen, Ou Niangzi, you can just play and sing. ”

Ou Zhengxue nodded, and Mother Jiang turned around and left.

Qing'er obediently set up the guqin, added a bowl of tea to Ou Zhengxue, and stood aside.

Ou Zhengxue looked at this guqin and smiled coldly, since she made her ugly, then she was not welcome.

She looked up at Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, when you were hanging out with me a few days ago, I made an appointment with a little girl who was juggling on the street to meet her in front of the peaceful pawnshop. If she has something for you, or something to say, just come back and tell me. ”

"Yes." Qing'er took the broken silver and was just about to leave, but Ou Zhengxue grabbed her and said, "Go early and return early, don't be greedy." ”

Qing'er left, and Ou Zhengxue closed the door.

Sitting confidently in front of the guqin, her hand stroked the qin at will, and there was a noise, and then she sang in a dumb voice: "Where, where have I seen you......"

There was a "poof" inside the barrier, followed by a constant cough. It can be seen that a guest officer choked on drinking or tea.

At this time, Ou Zhengxue stood up and looked inside the screen, and said in a proper manner: "Little prince, you didn't choke, did you?" It's all because Zhengxue scared the little prince. ”

After a while, the coughing sound stopped, and a man slowly walked out from behind the screen. Sure enough, it was the king of Qinyang, Dongfang Ju!

His face was slightly red, his face was slightly angry, and he said: "Ou Zhengxue, as a courtesan, you actually play the piano so humiliatingly, and your singing voice is even more ghostly and wolf-howling, which frightens the king!" You, you, you! You are simply guilty! ”

Ou Zhengxue said disapprerovingly: "Didn't the little prince say - even if the singing is hoarse and ugly, it's okay?" ”

The little prince didn't expect her to use her words to deal with herself, and her angry face turned pale.

"Besides-" Ou Zhengxue said: "Then Zhen Zhutou is here to give a reward for silver, and the little prince will join in the fun, even if he listens to the music, he also uses the little girl's money." I'm not wrong, am I? ”

Zhen Zhutou also walked out from behind the screen at this time, and said with some surprise: "Ou Niangzi is like a god!" How can you guess that it is the little prince and I who are listening to the tune? The silver used by this little prince to reward is silver, do you know? ”

Ou Zhengxue smiled indifferently and said, "There have just been two murders in a row, and ordinary people will never come to ask for this bad luck." Mother Jiang said that these distinguished guests named me, indicating that this person met me after I recovered from my illness. Because there are not many people who know that I am well. It's been a long time since I've been named.

And said: Even if you sing hoarsely, you might as well. This shows that this person knows that I have not rested enough recently and my voice is hoarse.

The person who can know such details is naturally the head of Zhen who investigated the case with me last night, and the person who can speak in such a disgusting and tolerant tone, except for the little prince, I can't think of the second one.

And the silver was wrapped in red cotton cloth -- the last time the county government gave me a reward for silver, it was wrapped in this kind of red cloth, and ordinary people put the broken silver in their purses, who would wrap it in red cloth? Presumably, it's my poor bounty. ”

Zhen Zhutou laughed and said, "Ou Niangzi is smart! ”

The little prince was disdainful, squinting his eyes and snorting coldly: "Where is the master? It's just a little skill of carving insects, besides, Ou Niangzi, you are not a headcatcher, but a courtesan, do you know? Cut.! ”

It was really the first time for Ou Zhengxue to be so deflated, she deflated her mouth for a long time, and she didn't have to return it, she ...... Well, she is indeed an unqualified courtesan.

Seeing that she stopped refutating for a while, the little prince was a little uncomfortable, he coughed a few times, thought about it and said: "Listen to Zhen Zhutou said, you solved the three ghost cases in Chang'an City in one fell swoop?" ”

Ou Zhengxue returned to normal at this time, looked at the little prince, and always felt that there was a mystery in his words. She replied cautiously: "It's just a coincidence, it was Zhen Zhutou and I who worked together to solve it, Zhen Zhutou is too modest." ”

The little prince glanced at Ou Zhengxue, glanced at Zhen Zhutou again, and said, "Sure enough, this king guesses that your little lady doesn't have such skills." ”

Zhen Zhutou said: "This time, the little prince came with me, and there is one more thing. ”

Ou Zhengxue nodded and said: "There is such a terrifying thing in the Ganye Temple, and the little prince has never come, so it can be seen that there are important things to be done recently." ”

King Qinyang's face softened a lot at this time, and he said leisurely: "That's natural, this king is busy with official affairs and is very tired. However, since you are quite interested in strange things, I don't know if you have the courage to go with me to see the real strange things. If you can crack it, even if you sing like a wolf, this king will not despise you. ”

Ou Zhengxue said: "How strange it is, the prince just says it directly." ”

King Qinyang said: "Recently, there have been many strange things in this river's palace, and some people have heard the strange sound of creaking on the roof of this carved beam at night, but there is no one. On other occasions, the little maid saw a ghost appear or disappear out of thin air in the courtyard. A few days ago, the wife of Li Hui, the second son of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, Wang was stabbed in the bedroom, and the doors, windows and doors of the house were locked, and when everyone entered the house, only Wang was alone. The whole palace of the river thought that there was some kind of ghost and demon magic in this palace, and the whole palace was panicked and restless. The king of Hejian didn't want to report to the official to make the teacher move, so that outsiders would talk about the Hejian Palace. So he privately summoned capable people and offered a large reward to solve the case. How about it, is Ou Niangzi interested? ”

Ou Zhengxue smiled and said, "I'm afraid the little prince has already done it for me, right?" The case of the Hejian Palace, it is best for a woman to investigate, because it was a person in the boudoir who was stabbed, so the little prince thought of me, so the little prince recommended me. But? ”

The little prince touched his nose, smiled, and said: "This king knows that Ou Niangzi is competent, if you don't solve the case like this and earn silver taels, will it be difficult to achieve the tune of singing a dumb voice like a genius, and really plan to let the guest officer reward you with money?!" ”

Ou Zhengxue's face darkened again, speechless.

The little prince looked at her with a cold face, didn't reply, and said proudly: "This king is good friends with this king of the river, and the beautiful courtesans of the palace of the river are like clouds, which is really an excellent place." I have made such a big deal of money and beauty, you should thank King Ben, why is his face so ugly, is it possible that he retreats in the face of difficulties and refuses to accept it? ”

Ou Zhengxue raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "How dare you, Zhengxue is ready to be sent by the prince at any time." ”

The little prince nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "The second lady of the Li family was stabbed like this, but she didn't die, but she was already in a coma. ”

Ou Zhengxue was also a little relieved in her heart, and said: "People are still there, which is a blessing in misfortune." Thinking about it, she remembered the case of Ganye Temple before, turned around and asked Zhen Zhutou: "What is the origin of this moon sky and the moon?" Did you find out the head of the hunt? ”

Zhen Zhutou said: "It was only found out yesterday that the two of them were the apprentices of the flying thief Pang Confident, and the three of them did all kinds of evil in robbing homes and houses. This month was really almost killed by the enemy, and this moon sky blocked a sword for her. That's why this month is really so willing to take people to suffer. ”

Xiao Wang Ye and Ou Zhengxue were both embarrassed for a while, and said, "I see." ”

Three days later, a carriage stopped at the door of Xianyin Pavilion, and a small servant was led by Jiang's mother and approached Jiaxin Building, and it was this Hejian Mansion that came to invite Ou Zhengxue over.
