Knock Knock –

There were a few soft knocks outside the door, Shun Hua suddenly turned around, hurriedly put the white envelope under the pillow, and answered the door: "Who is it so early?" ”

"Yan Gongzi, it's me, Shilian."

The woman's voice was very soft, like frosting on a glutinous rice cake, sweet and greasy.

"Oh, wait, you're still getting dressed, it's a little inconvenient."

Shunhua raised his eyebrows slightly, what did the cousin of the little brother of the servant come to do with him early in the morning?

She hurriedly pulled up the footcloth, and couldn't help coughing, what's the matter, this breast wrap has been getting tighter and tighter recently, obviously the same length as the previous one, why, she feels overwhelmed?

"Yan Gongzi, do you feel uncomfortable in your throat, it just so happens that Shilian has sweet soup here, after you get dressed, you might as well come out and take a sip, stewed snow fungus with rock sugar, quench your thirst, and moisten your throat." The little girl held the sweet soup, raised her eyes, and said eagerly.

"Thank you, soon, soon." She put on several cotton coats in a row, and wrapped herself in a bulging ball, like a fried fish ball.

The door babbled open, Shilian of the little jade lowered her eyes slightly, and said a little embarrassed: "The little girl came to knock on your door so early, has there been... disturbed the rest of Yan Gongzi. ”

"No, I've just gotten up here, so where did I bother, but you're too careful, next time, the sweet soup will be put outside, just wait for the next time to come out and eat with everyone, you don't have to bring it over." Shunhua scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

It's not like home, how can you treat others as people.

Hearing this, the little girl's face was startled at first, and then she lowered her eyes timidly, and said: "Actually, Shilian saw that you had worked too hard to copy the case, so she specially made sweet soup for you. Cousin they... Nope. ”

"It turned out to be cooked for the next purpose, hug, sorry." Shunhua touched his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay, you drink, after drinking, Shilian will wash the dishes for you."

I don't know if it's Shunhua's illusion, but I always feel that Shilian's cheeks are a little red.

"Miss Huang, are you..."

The little girl's heart suddenly hung in the air, for fear that the little careful thoughts she had hidden would be seen through.

"Isn't it something?" She asked nervously.

Shunhua opened his eyes, took a step forward, carefully observed Shilian's face, and then said very seriously: "You have to take the time to see a doctor, your face is so red, either you have a cold and fever, or your liver is on fire, it's too hot." ”

The little expectant eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then they were overshadowed by disappointment and let out a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Shilian is fine, probably just in the kitchen, and the stove is hot. ”

"I see, then you have to pay more attention, you have been working in the kitchen for a long time, and you are especially prone to dizziness and anemia."

Listening to Shunhua's concern, Shilian felt warm in her heart, she raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Shunhua easily in the room, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, then Shilian will go back to the kitchen first and help Aunt Wei live." ”

Shunhua took the sugar water on the tray, looked at the white snow fungus in the bowl, was in a good mood, and sighed: "It's so good, sure enough, there are many good people everywhere." ”

*

Although the days of copying old case files in the case file room are simple, they are also very hard, and it is not easy to write with a brush with frozen red hands in the cold winter season.

The little brother who had just accompanied the adult to try the case came over, knocked on the door, and reminded: "Ah Hua, why are you still here, go and eat, if you go late, there will be no food." ”

"Okay, I'll come right away after writing this volume."

Shunhua lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the text on the case, "Qinglou Arson Case", in the twenty-fifth year of Wanqiong, on a summer night, the famous Flower Appreciation Building in Luoshui City suddenly caught fire, and the guests, together with the girls, servants, nurses, and bustards who worked in the Flower Appreciation Building, died a total of 58 people.

[The corpse is charred all over, the face is distorted, the facial features are prominent, and the fingers are claw-shaped, and then interrogated the guests who left early, Shangguan Shenghuan, Ying Guangchao, and Dongting Hong, all said that they had witnessed that day, the maid Xiaoxiao and the girl Mingyue Zhenzhen had a quarrel, during which the maid Xiaoxiao also held a vase high and wanted to smash Mingyue Zhenzhen, but fortunately, the Qinglou Nursing Home mediated, and this farce was over. 】

[Later, they learned from other girls that Mingyue Zhenzhen intended to sell the maid Xiaoxiao to the bustard, so the maid Xiaoxiao was resentful and wanted to smash the vase and scratch Mingyue Zhenzhen's face, but the murderer has not been found in the case so far, and the murderer is still a mystery. 】

"Bright Moon Vera..."

Isn't it those white envelopes, the named Qinglou woman?

She closed the case file and sighed slightly, "It seems that there is no need to look for it, she is indeed dead." ”

At noon, the yamen's catchers and servants had already sat in a group, eating with vegetables, and looked at Shunhua, who was late and full of thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah Hua, you're too late, these dishes are almost eaten by Wu Zhutou." Brother Zongzhe did not hesitate to 'plant the way'.

Wu Zhutou picked up half of the green vegetables and choked back: "You kid, you obviously eat the most, half of the pot of rice is shaved by you, and you are still diligent in eating, you dare to say me." ”

"How can you say that, it's obvious that you have eaten all the dishes, so I have no choice but to concentrate on cooking, little brother, I spent all my efforts to help you keep vegetables under Wu Zhutou's 'bloody mouth'." Brother Zongzhe said with a face full of 'gratification'.

With that hypocritical look, Wu Zhutou wanted to beat him.

Shun Hua smiled slightly, sat down, picked up the soup bowl, and just took two sips, suddenly, a piece of danqing was handed to him, and the woman in the painting was herself.

The little brother asked heartily: "Ah Hua, you have the best memory, have you ever seen this woman?" I heard that this man was found, and there were five hundred taels of gold. ”

Before she finished speaking, she sprayed all the hot soup on the paper, and the whole portrait was pasted.

"You... What are you doing, this Danqing, little brother, I finally grabbed it, and I want to say, such beauties are rare, and I can't find a treasure to take a look, it's okay. The little brother said regretfully.

Seeing this, Wu Zhutou hurriedly said: "It's not you yet, just eat, and take out the missing person notice." ”

"Then she doesn't have to be so bad." The little brother of the servant held up the black and pasty portrait, but said regretfully.

"Do you know why they're looking for this woman?" Shunhua said tentatively.

"I heard rumors from people on the street that the entire caravan was killed, and only she was missing, so I wanted to find her out and ask about the details of the case."

"I see." Shunhua looked at the direction of the Yanei and cautiously changed the topic: "By the way, three years ago, the fire that started in the Moon Viewing Tower, I don't know... Are you still impressed? ”

Hearing this, the little brother who was hooked by Wu Zhutou's strong arm bend struggled slightly, and raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Strange, didn't you ask me about this before?"

Shun Hua nodded, and replied with a firm expression: "Actually, there is nothing else, I just checked the old case file, and I happened to see this "Qinglou Arson Case", seeing that it has not been solved so far, I am a little curious, pure, I just want to learn, learn." ”

Wu Zhutou let go of Huang Zongzhe's head and recalled carefully:

"This case... I have a very deep impression, she died that year, but the famous prostitute Mingyue Zhenzhen in Qinglou, it is said that if you want to see her, you have to spend a thousand gold, how many rouge customers flock to it, but she has been raised by the same fat fan all year round, and others can't touch it if they want to. ”

Catch Kuai Xuandong sandwiched a piece of meat, and said with emotion: "Actually, Mingyue Zhenzhen's life experience is quite pitiful, it is said that she was an official lady, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and she has a good life... It's a good day to open your mouth and open your hands, and then I don't know what happened, once I wake up, my family is in the middle of the road, and finally, I will fall into the dust, and live this kind of life under the fence, ethereal. ”

The little brother shook his feet ruffianly, and smiled evilly: "You will remember so clearly, did you patronize other people's houses in the first place?" ”

"You kid, don't be joking, the dead are gone, besides, people are Bingqing and jade, and they have never sold their art." Wu Zhutou corrected solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, a pair of chopsticks were slapped vigorously on the table, shaking the chicken soup in the soup bowl and almost spilling.

Everyone turned their heads in amazement, only to see Aunt Wei, who was nameless and on fire, and said angrily: "Enough, eat and eat, discuss the case and discuss the case, what is not good to praise, you have to praise the Qinglou women, do you know what those Qinglou women are doing every day?" Today, you will seduce other people's families, and you will ruin others, and tomorrow you will seduce other people's children, so that you will not return home every night, your fame will not be tested, and your fields will not be cultivated. ”

Seeing that no one around her dared to say half a word, Aunt Wei, who was very angry, turned her head towards Wu and continued to bombard: "You say, those Qinglou women, which one is not a fox spirit who seduces people's fathers, stinky girls who sell their bodies cheaply, and Bingqing Yujie, old lady, phew!" Don't drink this chicken soup, talk about some romances, it's enough to be full. ”

After that, Aunt Wei, who was angry and angry, ignored the obstruction of the little brother of the servant, snatched the chicken soup on the table, and left everyone's sight angrily, leaving no chance for anyone to refute at all.

“......”

Throughout the audience, Wu Zhutou was the most innocent, he just talked about the matter, and he was sprayed with saliva on his face for no reason, and he couldn't reply yet.

Seeing this, Brother Zongzhe hurriedly jumped out and said gloatingly: "Old Wu, this is your mistake, have you forgotten how our Yamen Flower was reconciled with Xianggong?" ”

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot." Wu Zhutou patted his forehead and regretted.

Shunhua asked puzzledly: "What have you forgotten, is there something else in it?" ”

"Ah Hua, it turns out that you are so gossipy." Brother Zongzhe glanced at her and quipped, "Little brother appreciates you." ”

"Actually, Aunt Wei's father-in-law is because he is addicted to gentleness, can't extricate himself, doesn't go home every day, and even her son has no intention of fame, and is addicted to gambling at a young age, which is not a thing, and the worse is still to come, her father-in-law said that she wanted to redeem herself for the good people in the Qinglou, and went home overnight to steal it, and was arrested by us and returned to the yamen.

"Is this something that can be done by people?" Shunhua asked incredulously.
