When Mo Lian brought Qian Tu to Zhuxin Academy, Xuanyuan Hao had just returned from Qinwu Academy.

Xuanyuan Hao was still the same as when he left, but the edges of his shoes were stained with rain, and Xiao Xiangzi followed behind and walked in step by step.

Without saying a word, Mo Lian came in to report that Jing Zhaoyin was here.

"Come in, please."

"Jing Zhaoyin? Qingqing, what is Jing Zhaoyin doing in our house? Xuanyuan Hao was drinking a special ginger soup, and after hearing Mo Lian's words, a pair of ink-like eyes showed a big question mark.

Chu Yueqing sighed and replied, "Xia Xiang is missing, a maid by my side." ”

Xuanyuan Hao had no impression of Xia Xiang and Qiu Xiang or anything, and in a trance, he only felt that he was a maid who often followed Qingqing.

Qian Tu stood under the porch and waited, a little bored, so he looked around. Although someone is missing, this is also a palace, so he only brought Xiao Zhao and two attendants today, which perfectly interprets the word low-key.

"My lord, the prince and princess, please come in."

Qian Tu followed Mo Lian into the main hall, and let Xiao Zhao and the other two attendants wait outside the hall. Walking into the main hall, he felt a little indescribable excitement in his heart, not because of the case of the maid's disappearance, such cases usually have only two results, either the maid escaped, or was taken captive.

She was a maid, and it is unlikely that her captors were doing it for robbery. Robbery? There are some possibilities, but there is no news so far, I am afraid that there is more luck than luck!

Qian Tu was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of eighteen, and he can be described as a genius in solving cases. He solves cases, is good at reasoning, and is keen on repeating cases. And the strange thing is that it is exactly the same every time. At the age of twenty, he was named Jing Zhaoyin by the emperor and became the youngest official in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, Qian Tu didn't like it, Jing Zhaoyin said it nicely, he was the parent official of the people of Gyeonggi, but in fact, he was busy with trivial things every day. The real criminal cases are the responsibility of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

He has been Jing Zhaoyin for five years, and he has not solved a single major case, which is nothing more than the trivial matter of the Zhang family losing the chicken and the Wang family losing the sheep. So he's trying to break this pattern restlessly. Finally, Lord Sun found him and said that there was a hanging body of Merlin in his house, and asked him to find out who the murderer was.

As a result, he didn't know that that sentence made him unhappy, and he actually reported the case to the Criminal Department. What a waste of his painstaking reasoning!

"Xiaguan Qiantu has seen King Hao and Princess Hao." Qian Tu saluted in a proper manner, but his eyes glanced around unintentionally.

The reason for his excitement is precisely because of Xuanyuan Hao, in the past few years, he has heard a lot of rumors about the five princes, and the intuition of investigating the case for many years told him that things are not so simple.

A royal secret? He would love to look it up.

Chu Yueqing was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at the visitor, and said, "Lord Qian, don't be polite." Mo Lian should have already told Lord Sù about the disappearance of the maid in the house, and this time she invited Lord Qian to come, knowing that Lord Qian solved the case like a god, hoping to save the missing maid. ”

"I didn't expect the princess to be such a straightforward person, even so, the lower officials will stop talking nonsense, and they will do their best. If what the lower official says next is offensive, please also ask Princess Haihan. "Qian Tu was originally interested in the case, and the polite sentences were just because these nobles always like to play false. Since this noble man has spoken out, there is no reason for him to waste time.

"Lord Qian, if you have any questions, but it doesn't hurt to ask, this princess will definitely know everything." Chu Yueqing knows how precious the time is now, and if he fights for one more point, Xia Xiang will have more vitality.

The rain gradually became heavier, Qian Tu listened to the sound of the rain and said, "Time is pressing, this heavy rain may wash away the only remaining clues." Xiao Zhao, who is next to Xiaguan, has followed Xiaguan to handle cases for many years, and with some experience, he can first visit and ask the people in the mansion. The lower officer was going to the missing maid's room to take a look. ”

Chu Yueqing nodded and said, "Just according to what Lord Qian said." Mo Lian, you and Granny Li take Master Qian to Xia Xiang's house to have a look. ”

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being", Qian Tu smiled and waved his hand, "Lord Wang, princess, the lower officials still have a few questions they want to ask in person." ”

——

The rain was pouring down, and people walking on the road exhaled cold.

Unless it is necessary work, everyone else has to be ordered, saying that they can rest for a day, and it is not too late to go to work when the weather is better.

There were also several pots of brown sugar ginger soup boiled in the big kitchen, and the people in the house each shared a big bowl.

The panic of the people in the house for the new master faded with the warm ginger soup. On this cold and rainy day, they can still think of the masters of the subordinates, and they can't find a few of them, so they secretly remember it in their hearts, feeling that they have met a good master.

Xiao Zhao got the order, and Mo Zhi took it, led two entourages, and asked them a few basic questions one by one.

And the people in the house who had a little ability were all called to Zhuxin Courtyard by Chu Yueqing.

Xiao Xiangzi was beside him and whispered: "Princess, it's not good to stir up the people like this, I'm afraid it will make people panic." ”

Chu Yueqing said: "I also know this, but it is imperative to be able to find Xia Xiang's clues as much as possible." And if you don't check, I'm afraid that there will be other rumors slowly, and it may not be better than now. ”

Although there are not many people who recognize Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang is the eyeliner of Li and Lehua. Now that they have suddenly disappeared, they know that they are afraid that they will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble in the future.

Chu Yueqing specially vacated a room in the west chamber and asked Qian Tu to ask questions inside.

At this time, she and Xuanyuan Hao sat in the main hall and waited anxiously. Belch... Well, she was the only one waiting anxiously, and Xuanyuan Hao was eating lunch with a happy face.

"Qingqing, are you sure you don't eat lunch? I'll pick the fish for you," Xuanyuan Hao said, deliberately holding the selected plate of fish meat in his hand and shaking it.

Chu Yueqing looked at Xuanyuan Hao's naughty appearance, reluctantly walked to his side and sat down, picked up the rice that was still warm, and said, "You eat more fish." ”

——

In the west room, Qian Tu sat on a mahogany chair with a square table in front of him.

There was an inkstone, a stack of white paper, and a small square stool on the table.

The people on the stool would change almost every quarter of an hour, first Granny Li was the first to be questioned, and then Steward Qian, Mo Weaving Molian, Qianyue Qianying, as well as Adian, Xiaomei, Qian Tu asked questions one by one.

"Name? Age? Posts? When was the last time you saw a missing maid? Relationship with the missing maid? Qian Tu asked a few questions in one breath, and then looked at them with a smile every time, and said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly one by one." ”

Granny Li trembled, and opened her mouth to shout: "My lord, I have wronged my wife, my wife really doesn't know anything..."

Qian Tu didn't even look at her, and said, "You only need to answer my question, and then say anything else, be careful that this official sentences you for obstructing official business." ”

Granny Li hurriedly stopped her mouth full of nonsense, and said tremblingly: "The old slave's surname is Li, and his girl's name is Hua'er." He is fifty years old. I, I live in the same room with Xia Xiang girl, and Xia Xiang girl and I are like mother and daughter!

My lord, my lord, I really didn't expect her to really go missing, if the old woman had known, she would have gone to sue Princess Sù early! The old slave thought that the princess had sent that girl to do something, but she never came back after seeing that it had been a long time..."

Granny Li said that a few lines of tears flowed out of her wrinkled face, and her eyes were also red, looking very sad.

Seeing this, Qian Tu knew that there was nothing else to ask about Mrs. Li, but she let her out and called Steward Zhang in.

As the steward of a government, Steward Zhang has seen a lot of scenes, listened to Qian Tu's question, and said calmly: "Zhang Yan, three out of forty, the steward in the palace." I've only seen the maid once, when the princess was at a meeting in the palace last time. ”

Qian Tu: "Is there any other relationship?" ”

Steward Zhang's shrewd eyes widened, and he said, "What can I have to do with that little girl?!" My daughters are older than her! ”

… Qian Tu: "Next!" (To be continued)
