The night was peaceful, but in the second half of the night a light rain fell on the eaves, rustling, and the night breeze was cooler.

Hua Qianshu lay on the bed and watched it until dawn.

The box with the names of my father and brother written on it has been dangling in front of my eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, her heart was pounded and tormented to the point where she almost went crazy.

She couldn't accept that. Countless times, I had the urge to visit the Punishment Department again at night and steal the heads of my father and brother.

She had to endure even harder.

I even hope that someone can put a wooden stick on top of her head so that she can pass out, and she will not be so uncomfortable again.

She didn't eat breakfast, and Walnut thought she was uncomfortable, so she put breakfast on the table and quietly retreated.

The aroma of the food in the room gradually cooled.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, heading straight for her room.

Walnut hurriedly went out, said a few words outside, and then lifted the curtain into the house, and said back to Hua Qianshu: "Auntie, Commander Huo said that the official family is here, and he wants to see you by name." ”

Hua Qianshu couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that it would happen so soon?

She secretly wondered if she had left any clues last night.

Covered with a black scarf and dressed in a night suit, he should not reveal his identity. The only thing left behind is the ordinary night pearl.

The other party should not investigate his head so quickly.

She got up with trepidation, rubbed her heavy eyelids, and raised her voice to ask Commander Huo in the courtyard, "Who is here?"

Huo Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Liu Jiangquan." ”

Liu Jiangquan!

Hua Qianshu exclaimed in his heart, how could he forget him?

Yoo Jiangquan is now the general of the infantry battalion in charge of the Gyeonggi guard, and if something happens to the Criminal Department, he is well-informed and will definitely know.

And when he escaped last night, he used a smoke egg, and Liu Jiangquan knew it. When he developed it himself, there was such a big movement, and his father reprimanded him, or did he intercede for himself.

If it's really a hundred secrets, why did you forget this stubble?

Hua Qianshu's mind was a mess, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he sat on the bed and was stunned for a moment.

Commander Huo carefully urged in the courtyard: "The villain refused?"

Hua Qianshu gritted his teeth and lifted the quilt: "No, I'll go over after washing, just let him wait." ”

Commander Huo responded, and went to the front yard to reply.

Hua Qianshu slowly and methodically cleaned up under the service of walnuts, and finally covered her tired face with fat powder. Try to buy time for yourself to calm down and think about countermeasures.

It wasn't until someone in the front yard came to urge him that Hua Qianshu got up.

From a distance, he heard Liu Jiangquan arguing with Commander Huo.

"Get out of the way of the official, otherwise he will be punished as the crime of obstructing official business!" is Liu Jiangquan.

Commander Huo is neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord Liu, don't forget, this is the palace, trespassing on the back house, you can't help but take my prince too seriously." ”

"This official is on official business, are you sure you want to stop it?"

"Trespassing on the palace, but there is a decree of the imperial court? Who knows if Lord Liu is using the public for personal gain?"

Hua Qianshu heard the rapid sound of a sword unsheathed, and hurriedly stepped into the front hall, with a cold snort: "Lord Liu, this is coming to my palace?"

Liu Jiangquan turned his face, his gaze slid over her slightly puffy eyelids, and asked meaningfully, "It looks like you didn't sleep well last night." ”

Hua Qianshu touched his face: "This early morning, you are here to greet me? Although my status is not noble enough, this generation is indeed higher than you." ”

Liu Jiangquan's eyes flashed: "Retire all the subordinates, I have something to ask you." ”

Hua Qianshu refused: "Don't, you and I are both married women, lonely men and widows, it's not appropriate to stay together." ”

Liu Jiangquan lowered his voice: "Are you sure? I just want to help you." ”

As soon as Hua Qianshu remembered the heart-rending scene he saw last night, he immediately became angry and sneered: "I can't stand it! Thank God if you don't harm me." ”

Liu Jiangquan was a little injured on his face, pursed his lips, and retreated from all the people he was carrying. Glancing at Commander Huo, Commander Huo took three steps back, and also retreated the palace guards.

There were only three people left in the hall.

Liu Jiangquan asked straight to the point: "Where did you go last night?"

Hua Qianshu blinked: "Is this a public or private matter for you?" If it's just your own curiosity, then please forgive me for having nothing to say." ”

Liu Jiangquan took a deep breath: "Okay, then I'll ask you as the commander of the infantry battalion, where did you go last night?"

Hua Qianshu tilted his head: "Since it is a public office, what kind of case are you here for? After all, I am a woman who does not go out of the gate and does not step out of the second door and has nothing to do with your infantry battalion." ”

Liu Jiangquan was unceremoniously pushed back by her sentence, and took a deep breath again: "Last night, the criminal department entered the bandits. ”

Hua Qianshu "poofed" and smiled: "This thief is really stupid, what do you do when you steal things and don't go to the rich household?"

"Because, what this thief wants to steal is not gold and silver, but the file of the Hua family!"

Hua Qianshu's body was shocked, and he looked at Liu Jiangquan: "What do you mean?"

"Last night, the bandit broke into the file room, stole the file of the Hua family's case, and then burned it on the spot!"

"Nonsense!" Hua Qianshu blurted out, and then the second half of the words got stuck in his throat.

She clearly didn't find the file last night, how could it be burned?

Liu Jiangquan is asking his own words.

"What nonsense?" Liu Jiangquan suddenly narrowed his eyes, as dangerous as a leopard.

"The Hua family is now the only one of us sisters who survived, the world is hot and cold, and everyone avoids it like a snake and scorpion. Who would risk his life to go to the criminal department to steal my family's case file? Besides, why did he burn the file on the spot after stealing it? In the middle of the night, he was not afraid to reveal his own secrets? What is such a flawed excuse, isn't it nonsense?" Hua Qianshu immediately retorted.

"But that's what I'm saying. Liu Jiangquan stared at Hua Qianshu's face: "As you said, only you sisters survived in the Hua family, so I think there should be no one else except you two sisters." ”

"Ridiculous!" Hua Qianshu tried to keep his composure: "Manga said that we don't have that much ability, even if we have, what are we doing stealing and burning the file?"

"You may not have it, but the Seventh Emperor Uncle has such a skill. After all, not everyone can make this smoke egg. ”

"What smoke egg?" Hana Chiki pretended to be stupid.

"When the thieves fled last night, they threw two smoke eggs. ”

Hua Qianshu suddenly realized: "Just by virtue of that, you think it's me? Don't you forget, that is also what I learned from others." In the streets and alleys, people who juggle and trick the rivers and lakes who don't understand the doorway, the frog at the bottom of your own well, you have no knowledge. ”

Liu Jiangquan looked confident, and looked as if he had a chance to win: "But, do you know? The box containing the head of the stepfather has been touched, and the dust marks on it are particularly obvious. ”
