340 I Know What You've Done (11 The Mystery of the Hand Shadow Part II)

Well, this uncle, are you a little too arrogant?

Lian Sheng looked at Xiao Zihui helplessly.

This old gentleman, the old Koehler in the Shanghai population is probably like this, they have seen the world, and they have lived a glamorous and modern life, Xiao Zihui was like this when he was young. Although it was that Concubine Xiao Hui was dead, and the Xiao family was gradually declining, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, Xiao Zihui was still romantic for a while when he was young, good man, prostitution, these things are a bit of a relish when they are said now, Liansheng couldn't help but hold his forehead, uncle, you have a really big heart, when are you still bragging about this kind of thing.

"Hehe, look at what I said, the little girl is thin-skinned." Xiao Zihui also realized that he was a little too much, so he hurriedly became serious, and said seriously: "In short, this bracelet was given to Li Xinkui by me back then, as for why he took it out when he died, it was because he saw me in the dormitory of the Ministry of Rites that day, the old love is unforgettable, and he was tender and sweet for a while, and he took it out to remember that love, uh, there is also this." ”

Liansheng was stimulated by him with goosebumps, stood up and said, "I'll leave first." ”

"Dad, there are guests at home?"

Xiao Shu's voice came from the door.

"Why did you come back so early today, come and see Gu Tixing."

Xiao Zihui was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted when he heard his son's voice.

Xiao Shu walked in: "Gu Tixing." "He's the way of seeing his peers. Xiao Shu is also the head of the Seven Grades in the Ministry of Rites, and his official position is equivalent to that of Liansheng.

Xiao Zihui on the side quit.

"Hey, look at you. I told you that you want to take Gu Tixing as an elder, she is kind to our Xiao family. ”

Lian Sheng hurriedly said: "Hou Ye Xiao, if you are like this, I am really ashamed, and I will take a detour when I see Hou Ye in the future." ”

Xiao Zihui laughed.

"Lord Tiren, Director Fang's side ......" Xiao Shu hesitated: "I know that these official matters should not be asked privately, but they are the same year as Brother Fang, and they usually have a very close relationship." ”

"Director Fang is poisoned by Acacia."

"What? Acacia seeds are poisonous? Xiao Zihui stood up excitedly: "Could it be, could it be that Li Xinkui did it?"

Xiao Shu glanced at him dissatisfied: "Dad." You listen to the sentence first and finish speaking. Don't be surprised, okay. ”

"Are Director Xiao and Li Xinkui usually familiar with each other?"

"This Brother Li and I are also the same year, but we didn't know each other before, and he moved to live in the Ministry of Rites, and I didn't know it at first. I only found out on the day of Brother Fang's accident. ”

"No wonder Li Xinkui doesn't know about your relationship with Marquis Xiao."

Hear this. Xiao Shu's brows furrowed slightly: "What does this mean?" ”

"It's not interesting. Hey, Xiao Gongzi, why are you indifferent when you hear Acacia? ”

"So how do you think Xiao should behave?"

"Ling Zun has such a toxic reaction to Acacia seeds. You don't seem surprised? As a son of man, aren't you worried about how Ling Zun would react like this? ”

"Hehe, I don't know about the punishment, my father has always been so shocked, I'm used to it." Xiao Shu smiled embarrassedly: "You will know after the punishment is raised, my father is also covered with clouds and mountains and fog, no matter how shocking he is now, I don't think it's strange." ”

Xiao Zihui couldn't hold his face: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the sentence?" ”

"I heard that Master Hou had a lot of treasures in the past."

Liansheng diverted the topic.

"Haha, although my Lao Xiao has not mixed well over the years, there have been several palace concubines in our family, and there have been noble concubines since my aunt and grandmother. Don't dare to say anything else, the good things in the palace in the past are really a little, what do you like in the punishment Just speak, who are we with whom. ”

Xiao Shu said on the side: "Dad, don't brag, our family has been sitting and eating empty all these years, and there is something left." ”

"Stinky boy, your father is still here, it's not his turn to feel distressed, hehe, the punishment, don't listen to him, what do you like, just say it."

"I'm thinking that it will be my father's birthday in a few days, and I plan to send a pair of good mutton fat jade Ruyi, but I can't find one that can be fancy in Beijing, thinking that the Xiao family is a century-old family after all, and there must be some treasures, how much silver should the Hou Ye make a price."

"Sheep fat jade Ruyi, haha, yes, I remember that there are several serious ones at home, Shu'er went to the treasury to pick and choose for the punishment."

"Dad, don't say this in front of the guests, our warehouse is already empty."

Xiao Shu said this, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry for Gu Tixing, my father always talks like this, don't take it seriously, how can my family have good mutton fat and jade Ruyi, it was all in the early years, and my father has not been really lacking in these years. ”

"Hehe, that's what I said, I'll go look elsewhere, look for it."

Liansheng found that when it came to Jade Ruyi, Xiao Shu completely disregarded the face of the children of the family, the nobles of the family in this year, the family was really in deficit and hidden, he didn't care about the image at all, and said that his family was poor and had no mutton fat jade Ruyi. Generally speaking, a man doesn't care about the housekeeping in the backyard, and what there is in the treasury belongs to the middle feed, which is managed by the woman in the backyard.

Lian Sheng's eyes rolled, he had an idea in his heart, and he said goodbye after a while.

Back at the Ministry of Rites, Yu Shizhao stood in the middle of her house with a low voice, and shouted when he saw her: "Sure enough, there are oil stains on the window paper!" There is oil on half of the windows, saying that two days before Zheng Hanlin's death, a eunuch put the horse lamp on the windowsill and broke it, and the oil splashed everywhere, and he was going to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the windows, but he didn't expect that Zheng Hanlin's incident would soon occur, and outsiders were not allowed to enter on the military plane, so the matter was delayed, and now there is still a large piece of oil, and the window paper is transparent. ”

"I know what Zheng Hanlin shouted for his life."

Lian Sheng pointed to the window of his room: "If several geckos are together, the shadow is reflected on the window paper, and it looks a bit like a shadow of a hand from a distance, Mo Lin said that Zheng Hanlin had a similar dream twelve years ago, and in the dream he exclaimed Don't look for me or something like that, it was the same as when he shouted some time ago, and before he died, such a palm shadow appeared on the window." ”

"You mean the shadow he saw in the room was a gecko?"

"I think although the shadows of a few geckos can be seen wrong, but Mo Lin and Zheng Hanlin, staring at the shadow on the window will not be wrong, I am more inclined that the shadow he saw before was someone squatting under the window, using a branch or something to prop up a glove to deliberately scare him. Zheng Hanlin had a ghost in his heart, and he was so frightened that his nerves were not quite right, so he took a nap in the room of the military plane that day, and when he woke up, he was frightened and collapsed when he saw the shadow of the gecko reflected in the window. How about my story? ”

"Not bad." Yu Shizhao clapped his hands a few times: "It does sound like a perfect fit, Zheng Hanlin looks as beautiful as a woman, and he is also a little cowardly when he thinks about it, it is possible to be scared to the point of insanity and run upstairs to commit suicide, but what happened twelve years ago?" Who could scare him like this, and who would be the person crouching under the window to scare him? ”

"Maybe it's Fang Yunsheng, maybe it's Li Xinkui, maybe it's someone else." Liansheng pinched the acacia seed in his hand, thought about it and said: "I heard that the palace maid in the palace likes to use this acacia seed to make Buddhist beads, you go to the palace to find a string, the mountain people have their own clever plan." (To be continued......)

PS: Liansheng plans to use Acacia to trick the murderer out
