Jian Ying cited a witness, Xiao Zhengqian had no reason not to summon, and immediately ordered Yufu to send an order.

It happened that Peiyu came to report that lunch was ready. Fang asked Xiao Zhengqian and Empress He, and asked to bring in the prepared things. Everyone took advantage of this time to eat, so as not to be bored by waiting.

Considering the different eating habits of people in the north and south, Fang specially instructed Peiyu to prepare noodles and rice dishes respectively: steamed buns, salty and sweet crispy golden cakes, assorted roasted wheat, lotus leaf rice, accompanied by various side dishes, plus a few fresh soups.

Although it is a bit shabby to entertain the emperor and queen with these things, it is convenient and intimate.

It was the first time for Xiao Lelin to dine in such an informal setting, and he felt very novel, and he ordered all kinds of food to taste.

Queen He is mean, but she is not picky about food.

When Xiao Zhengqian was still a prince, the two often disguised themselves as civilian couples to eat in a small shop outside, and they also covered each other when they were guarding the spirit of the first emperor, secretly ate snacks, and ate in this temporarily opened public court, which was trivial to her.

She behaved so casually when eating, which surprised Fang and the others.

Not to mention Xiao Zhengqian, it is common to eat and live with hundreds of civil and military officials in the court or the imperial study, for him, instead of sitting on the seats arranged according to the grade and eating seriously, when to make a chopstick and when to raise a glass must be done step by step, it is far more interesting to eat casually regardless of you and me.

At this time, I was eating and commenting with Fang Zhifu and Wang Yushi, and I enjoyed it very much.

Wang Yushi is accustomed to it. Eat fairly calmly. Governor Fang was careful everywhere, even if he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he didn't dare to eat it.

The Fang family, Mrs. Jian, and the Yan family always paid attention to Queen He and Xiao Lelin, and naturally they were not as comfortable as eating at home on weekdays.

Jian Ying's creed is "no one can lose yourself", and she is the sweetest one except Xiao Zhengqian.

Inevitably, the two incompatible Jian Lan affected each other's appetites, and Yude was very understanding and invited "Jian Lan" to the compartment. Rao is like this, Jian Lan is still unpleasant, and peeks at Jian Ying from time to time, as if she wants to see something from her face.

Kang Huai looked inside and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. before entering the door to report. "Holy one, the man has been brought."

Xiao Zhengqian nodded and announced that he would bring people to the court to continue the trial.

Because Jian Ying used the words "middle-aged man" to describe Zhu Xing. Everyone invariably sketched in their minds the image of a short, fat, pot-bellied, thick-eyed, small-eyed, indulgent ~ decadent, treacherous and calculating obscene businessman.

When he appeared in the hall. Only then did everyone realize how unreliable brain supplements were.

This Zhu Xing looks like he is in his early thirties. The body is long, the facial features are upright, and the eyes are bright. He has a two-inch beard on his chin. Probably because of the perennial business outside the home, the skin is slightly dark.

Although it is not delicate and elegant, it is also masculine and fit, and it has nothing to do with "short and fat" and so on.

After routinely asking his name and surname, and receiving his bowing, Xiao Zhengqian went straight to the point, "Zhu Xing, do you know a woman named He Honglian?" ”

"He Honglian......" Zhu Xing thought about it for a while, and then replied, "Back to the saint, the grass people don't remember that among the women they know, there is a name called He Honglian. ”

"And what about summer flowers?" Xiao Zhengqian asked again.

Zhu Xing's eyebrows moved, and his face showed surprise, as if he didn't understand why the king of a country would ask a woman in a green house. After being stunned for a moment, he replied: "Back to the saint, the grass people know." ”

"When, where, and how did you and Xia Hua get acquainted, and what happened after you got acquainted, tell me in detail."

"Yes." Zhu Xing agreed, thought about it for a while, and said slowly, "About two and a half years ago, the grass people met Miss Xiahua in Wanchun Building, Xuzhou......"

The general situation is no different from what Jian Ying said, but there are some more details: for example, the name of the girl who poisoned Xia Hua because of jealousy, the old ~ bustard, and the house that Xia Hua was placed in after redeeming Xia Hua and placing it in Xuzhou City, and how much property did Xia Hua take away when she fled......

Xiao Zhengqian couldn't hear any flaws in his words, so he asked again: "If you see Xia Hua again, you may be able to identify her accurately?" ”

"Although the grass people have been with Xia Hua for several months, they don't know her very well, otherwise they wouldn't have been deceived by her. Grass farmers can't guarantee accuracy, but grass farmers can try their best. Zhu Xing finally showed the shrewdness unique to Shang Jia, and said it in a mellow and appropriate manner.

Xiao Zhengqian let out an "um" and looked at Yude.

Yude understood, walked over and invited Jian Ying and the three out.

Zhu Xing raised his eyes and saw three people who almost looked exactly the same, and his eyes widened in shock.

After all, he was a person who had traveled south and north to see the world, and he quickly lost his astonishment, his eyes moved back and forth between the three of them, and after a few careful looks, Fang hesitated to speak, "Saint, the grass people don't know if there are summer flowers in this, but in the eyes of the grass people, the one in the middle is the most like summer flowers." ”

Xiao Zhengqian glanced thoughtfully at the one in the middle, motioned for Yude to comprehend the three of them behind the screen, and said to Zhu Xing: "I will let each of them say a word, you have to identify it carefully." ”

After Zhu Xing answered "yes", he instructed Yude to take the two poems prepared in advance to the three people behind the screen and let them read them one by one.

Zhu Xing listened carefully, compared the three voices, and replied: "Shengshang, in the ears of the grass people, the first girl's voice is the most like Xia Hua. ”

"Who were the people who were ordered by Zhu Xing? Stand up. Xiao Zhengqian commanded in a deep voice.

The figure behind the screen swayed, and with the slight sound of clothes rubbing, a woman with a pale face walked out. The hands were clasped in front of him, and the knuckles were white because he held them too hard, and the tendons on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

Standing there, the hem of her skirt trembling, her panic palpable.

"Is she the one you are referring to twice?" Xiao Zhengqian confirmed with Yude.

Yude only replied with a "yes" and said more.

"Good luck." Xiao Zhengqian looked at the person kneeling in the hall, "Identify it carefully, is she Xia Hua?" ”

Zhu Xing leaned over slightly and carefully looked at the woman's eyebrows, "Saint, the grass people don't dare to say that this girl must be Xia Hua, but her voice and appearance are ninety percent similar to Xia Hua. ”

Hearing that he still refused to say anything, Xiao Zhengqian raised his eyebrows meaninglessly, "In addition to your voice and appearance, do you have any other credentials that can verify Xia Hua's body?" ”

Zhu Xing pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Back to the saint, there is." ”
