Chapter 62: Silk Cloth
Shi Qingqing left Liu's Mansion without delay all the way, and went directly to Dumen Academy.
Qiu Tong must also feel that it is suspicious, and the manpower of the search for Dumen Academy has only increased.
Seeing that the teacher was coming, he was directly released.
According to Yunzhi's statement, Shi Qingqing still came to the place where Ruoyan fell down the mountain that day.
The jungle was dense and undetectable, so Shi Qingqing had no choice but to turn his head to Xin'er and say, "Xin'er, go up and see if there are any rock mulberries." "It shouldn't be difficult for Xin'er to know how to move lightly.
Xin'er just wanted to respond, but was stopped by Yunzhi, "Emperor Ji, this poisonous girl is only afraid that she is not familiar, let her subordinates go." ”
"It's okay, be careful."
Yun Zhi replied, and flew up with a light tap of his toes, and the tree itself was one with different veins and branches, and it would take a while to identify it.
Shi Qingqing and Xin'er turned their heads to face this wave of water, and Ruoyan fell here and broke his last breath.
"Xin'er, you wait for me here, I'll go down and take a look." The pool water is deep and secluded, and the light is varied, so you can only squint and see, the pool is not deep, Shi Qingqing plans to simply go into the water and touch it carefully.
Xin'er knew that Shi Qingqing's decision would not be changed lightly, and this matter was not trivial, so she only said: "I'll go down with Emperor Ji, although the water is not deep, avoid pits." ”
Shi Qingqing nodded indiscriminately and took the lead in the water, followed by Xin'er.
The pool water here is not directly exposed to the sun, and at this time the water is still inevitably cool to the bones, Shi Qingqing's body shrunk, and he exhaled and buried his whole body in the water to take a closer look.
The light was not bright but he could barely see, and Shi Qingqing took a few steps forward. But still nothing.
It seems that the murderer was extremely careful that nothing was left behind.
"Teji, are you alright?"
Shi Qingqing shook his head and went ashore with his heart.
It just so happened that Qiu Tong came at this time, and after just one glance, he bowed his head and said, "Emperor Ji, the lower official received news that you came to the academy, so I will see if there is anything I can help with." As he spoke, he took off his official robe and draped it on Shi Qingqing.
Shi Qingqing is wearing a skirt today, although it is not transparent, but after entering the water, it is close to the body, outlining the beautiful figure, it is rude in front of the man, so he no longer refuses Qiutong's kindness.
"Thank you." Qiu Tong didn't answer, and went to the guard who had already turned around, pulled one and handed it to Xin'er, and asked him to put it on.
Both of them were fully dressed before turning around and asking. "What did the Emperor find?" The voice was still respectful and polite, calm and deep. But his eyes never dared to raise his head, staring straight in front of him.
Shi Qingqing didn't feel anything about such a thing, it was difficult for his heart to burn red.
Shi Qingqing pursed her lips, remembering that Old Man Wen must have left some students' old clothes in the Mingwa House. Then he said, "Lord Qiu, please come with me to Master's place." On the way, I'll talk to the adults in detail. Then he turned to the guard. After the clouds come down, let her go to the top of the mountain to find her, and after speaking, he will go up with Xin'er and Qiutong.
When Shi Qingqing arrived, Wen Lao was fanning himself in the room. chatted with Wen Qingping without a match.
Shi Qingqing was very clear about the layout of Wen Lao's room, and it was not appropriate to talk about this matter in detail, so he went in directly and took two sets of clothes and went to another house to change.
Wen Lao was stunned for a moment, and asked Wen Qingping, who was also stunned on the side, "Was that my apprentice just now?" ”
"Seems so, Daddy......"
Without waiting for the two to continue to speculate, Qiu Tong came in and explained the reason, although there was no change on Wen Lao's face, but the silver beard was curled, and if Shi Qingqing saw it, he knew that he was angry.
Sure enough, as soon as Shi Qingqing came out, he was taken to the side by Wen Lao and reprimanded.
"Let's not talk about your identity as the emperor, but you are a woman, how can you do such a ridiculous thing?"
Shi Qingqing Nunu mouthed, thinking that she didn't know that Qiu Tong would come at this time, but she still didn't dare to say this on her face, and said softly: "The apprentice knows his mistake, and he won't dare next time." ”
"Hmph, I don't know you yet, when will you know that you're wrong, then your ancestor is really going to smoke." Wen Lao didn't believe it, and pointed to Shi Qingqing's nose to continue training.
Shi Qingqing held back a smile, "Yes, yes, but Master, if you say this about the ancestor of the master's family, my father may not be too happy when he knows!" ”
Old Wen glared at her, "What's the matter, you still dare to threaten your master, right?" You've got a lot of skills, huh? ”
Seeing that the depression between her eyebrows had eased a lot, Wen Lao was also a little relieved.
Shi Qingqing naturally knew Wen Lao's intentions, wrapped his arms around Wen Lao's arm and sat down to the side, and asked softly, "Master, are you all right?" ”
"Almost." Although Wen Lao thought so in his heart, his face was still tense.
Shi Qingqing coaxed again, so he couldn't help but cooperate, and thought to himself, now the master is like an old child.
While the master and apprentice were talking and laughing, Wen Qingping came in with a bowl of medicinal soup, and the strong smell of medicine made Shi Qingqing frown, but Wen Lao didn't even change the smile on the corner of his mouth, and drank it all.
Shi Qingqing really wanted to applaud, but Wen Lao handed the bowl to Wen Qingping and snorted coldly when he saw Shi Qingqing's appearance, "Why, do you really think that your master is an old child?" ”
Shi Qingqing couldn't imagine that Old Man Wen already knew his thoughts, so he had no choice but to walk over and pinch his shoulders to change the topic, "Master, now that you are in good health, I will invite you to Yunyang Pavilion to eat delicious food another day!" ”
"I ......"
Wen Lao stroked his beard and was about to laugh, when suddenly Wen Qingping on the side stretched out his hand on the ground and exclaimed, "Emperor, where did you find this thing?" When I went to look for Ruoyan girl that day, the torn silk cloth of the clothes, that dress was sewn for me by my wife, and I was told not to break it, and I was worried about how to explain it when I went back, thank you Diji. After saying that, he bowed.
What he was holding in his hand was the strip of silk cloth that Qiu Tong had found.
"You say, this is yours?" Qiutong's face on the side changed slightly, and the scholarly anger on his body had converged a lot, and his anger was close to Wen Qingping.
Wen Qingping was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and asked even asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Shi Qingqing hurriedly stood between the two. said to Qiu Tong: "You don't want to be impatient for a while. ”
He turned his head again and asked Wen Qingping, "Brother Qingping, are you sure that this thing is indeed yours?" ”
Wen Qingping didn't know the truth, but seeing that the two of them looked nervous, he couldn't help but follow, "Of course, this thing is my lady who sent me to Beijing to take care of the clothes specially made by my father after knowing that my father was seriously ill. ”
This fabric is really ordinary. Wen Qingping said it perfectly. Shi Qingqing and Qiu Tong glanced at each other, not knowing whether this thing was accidentally discovered by them or a false impression deliberately created by the murderer, so as to mislead them, and the case became more and more suspenseful.
Old Wen saw the expressions of the two. also deduced one or two. He said in a deep voice: "Qingping is also taught by me. Although he is not wise, he will not do such a thing, and then again, that day will happen. Qingping has always been by my side and has never left, and I believe that he will not have time to kill Liu Ruoyan, who has never had a relationship with him. ”
Shi Qingqing was very ashamed when he heard this, "Master, it's the apprentice who was too careless and misunderstood Brother Qingping." After finishing, he bowed to Wen Qing again.
Wen Qingping is honest and honest, he will not worry about these things with Shi Qingqing, smiled and said that it was okay.
Qiu Tong also immediately understood the end of it, knowing that Wen Qingping had no motive for committing the crime and no time to appear in two places at the same time, Wen Lao was honest and never favoritistic in his life, and he would never lie.
It seems that whether there are two murderers in this matter remains to be discussed, "Old Wen forgives the crime, it is a rude official to be disrespectful, and it has nothing to do with the emperor." ”
Wen Lao waved his hand, "I know that you are exhausted for this case, but you must not be all soldiers, otherwise, you will only lose your way." ”
"The disciple (Xia Guan) must follow the teachings of the master (Wen Lao)."
"Qing'er, your senior brother has experience in this matter, why don't you write to him and ask him, what is the best plan?" The relationship between Shi Qingqing and Xia Han is not good, Wen Lao has always regretted this matter, but the two apprentices he likes the most and are most proud of are not harmonious, isn't it sad?
Shi Qingqing pursed her lips, it's not that she didn't think about asking Xia Han or Uncle Zai, but she always thought about dealing with it herself, probably because of obsession!
"What the master said is that the seventh brother must have different opinions, Qing'er shouldn't be stubborn and follow his own ideas, Qing'er will write a letter to ask when she goes back."
Seeing this, Wen Lao nodded very gratefully, Shi Qingqing's intelligence is not self-taught, but a little understanding, which is even more commendable.
After a while, Wen Qingping stayed for dinner, but was politely rejected by Shi Qingqing and Qiu Tong.
Because Yun Zhi was still investigating the matter of Yan Sang, Shi Qingqing was worried in his heart, he really had no appetite, and Qiu Tong was because the Criminal Department still had something to deal with.
There are countless difficult and miscellaneous things that have been submitted from some places in the imperial capital, but in the past two days, he has been talking to Ruoyan, thinking that it has accumulated a lot, Shi Qingqing heard that he planned to go to the criminal department with him to deal with it, so he said goodbye together.
Wen Lao looked at these clutches very openly, and didn't say more, only ordered Wen Qingping to send them.
………………….
Down the hill behind the ferry, two officials were probing along a path.
An officer and soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but curse, "In such a hot weather, investigate a ghost case." ”
"Don't complain, the emperor is running around for this case, and everyone hasn't said a word of complaint, you are a big man, you can't even compare to a girl?" Another official retorted with some disdain.
"Alas, you are right, although the emperor is not as good as the flower feather emperor, but her temperament is a thousand times better than that of the flower feather."
"Hey, you seem to have seen Emperor Hanayu." "You say, I've really seen it, but it's just a look from a distance, who doesn't know the character of Emperor Huayu?"
"Well, don't say it, there's a person in front of us and we'll go over and ask."
One of the officers and soldiers walked in front, and the one behind did not stop at all, although he was scolding in his mouth, and asked the villager: "Hey, I said you, have you gone up the transition mountain in the past two days?" ”
"No....there is..." The villager had a fear of the officers and soldiers, and his feet could not help but tremble.
Another officer and soldier knew that there was a play, "Do you know that there was a death in the Dumen Academy?" ”
"I... I just wanted to see if there was anything valuable in the Dumen Academy that day, but I saw a man and a woman talking about something, and it seemed to be arguing, and then they seemed to find someone eavesdropping, and I stood far away thinking that they had found me, so I ran away, who knows if they found out that it was another woman, and then ...... You'll all know it......"
"Official, I really didn't take anything that day, I haven't had time to get it, I beg the official to spare my life, I have told you everything I know, please ask the official to spare my life, oh...... By the way, I heard the woman call the man's husband. ”
"What? Are you sure you heard it right? Originally, these two officers and soldiers didn't want to ask anything, but they didn't expect to find the clue by mistake, and they only thought about taking him back to the criminal department to make meritorious service quickly, and they didn't even hear a few "whooshing" sounds in the grass behind them...... (To be continued......)
