Chapter 11: The Glass Lock
Yulan County is adjacent to Dongzi County, and the economic situation and people's income are similar, but in recent years, under the governance of Liu Yingyi, Dongzi County has begun to become rich, and Yulan County is still the same.
Although he is not rich, the treatment of the two of them in the county order of Lan County is not low.
In the clean-cleaned bedroom, there is a screen of golden silk nanmu, a white jade paperweight on the desk, the four treasures of the exquisite study, and a rich incense is lit in the room.
The two maids brought the finished dishes to the table, chicken, duck, fish, and a pot of wine, not at all like the treatment of the same level in a poor county, but as attentive as the treatment of the Qincha or the superiors.
Liu Xianling was still pulling Liu Yingyi to chat about something, Shui Qingxiang was first arranged to rest in the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she was shocked by Liu Xianling's hospitality, no matter what Liu Cheng's intentions were, Shui Qingxiang ate first.
From Dongzi County all the way to Yulan County, Shui Qingxiang was already hungry, so she sat down and ate unceremoniously.
The two maids arranged by Liu County's order were waiting around, although Shui Qingxiang sent the maids away several times, but they had too strong a sense of service and refused to leave no matter how much they persuaded them.
Shui Qingxiang didn't bother to say much, picked up the chopsticks and shook off her cheeks and ate it, and it didn't take long for her to eat half a chicken and half a bowl of braised pork, and the two maids were dumbfounded.
They didn't know that although Shui Qingxiang was thin, she had to exercise every morning, and she had to do a lot of physical training, and her appetite could not be small, and Shui Qingxiang didn't bother to explain to them, so she let them treat herself as a foodie.
Shui Qingxiang burped, and one of the maids stepped forward and said, "Miss, do you want to take a shower and change clothes now?" ”
Shower and change clothes? Shui Qingxiang shook her head, "Don't call me Miss, just prepare another room for me?" ”
It is impossible for Shui Qingxiang to live in the same room as Liu Yingyi.
However, the two maids looked at each other ignorantly, "Miss, our master has only prepared one room." ”
A room? Shui Qingxiang suddenly remembered Liu Cheng's meaningful eyes, and suddenly understood a little.
Immediately, his face turned red, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I want to leave here, since you don't have any extra rooms, I ...... I'll stay at the guest house! ”
Liu Yingyi walked in at this time, and when he saw the furnishings in this room, his handsome face sank suddenly, and he heard the sound of Shui Qingxiang and Yahuan arguing, and immediately asked, "What inn do you live in?" ”
"They prepared a room for us, and I'm going to live outside!" Shui Qingxiang came out with Liu Yingyi because she wanted to handle the case, but she didn't want to come to accompany the bed.
"I see, let them go out first."
When the two maids heard this, they immediately walked out and closed the door.
"You've read the case file, what do you think?" Yoo Young-yi is really a workaholic, and he just sat down with Shui Qingxiang to discuss the case.
Just now in the county office, when Liu Yingyi looked through the file, Shui Qingxiang was standing next to her, and she could see every word on the file clearly, so she had a clear understanding of the tribute robbery back then.
"I don't know if the adults have noticed, the last sentence that the crazy Yun Dao Chang said to me mentioned 'Qianmo Glass Lock', but just now, I saw the word 'Qianmo Glass Lock' in the file of the case in Lan County that year."
"At that time, the dossier in Beijing only said that valuable gold objects were sent to the palace as tribute. Even the documents sent to the palace did not mention what such a gold vessel was, but I didn't expect Yu Lanxian to write it so specifically. Yoo Young-yi was slightly surprised.
"Yulan County is so specific because the gold is still a semi-finished product, and the only ones sent over halfway are the accessories of the gold, and it will be put together as a complete tribute when they arrive in the palace. It's a pity that something went wrong on the way, the gold was stolen, and the whole tribute could no longer be put together. ”
After looking at the complete case file of Lan County, Liu Yingyi was also more certain, "The case in Dongzi County is really related to the theft of tribute that year, but so much time has passed, because there was no clue about this case, the gold was not found, and the murderer was not caught, many people were dismissed and investigated, and now there is no way to investigate." ”
"It's not clueless, at least we know that the murderer in Dongzi County is at least an insider of the case back then, we can look in Yulan County to see if there are any clues. My lord, don't forget that the craftsmen who made the gold utensils also lived in Yulan County. ”
Shui Qingxiang's words made Liu Yingyi, who was a little depressed, kindle a glimmer of hope in her heart, and looked back at the messy table with cups and plates, a little dumbfounded.
Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but blush: "I didn't eat dinner, I'm a little hungry." ”
"It's okay, I'm not too hungry."
Liu Yingyi didn't drink the wine on the table, and ate a little food casually.
The candle flame in the room flickered on and off, making it easy to get sleepy.
Under the cover of the night, accompanied by the strong smell of incense, the atmosphere in the room becomes a little ambiguous.
When Shui Qingxiang and Liu Yingyi discussed the case just now, they were still talking enthusiastically, but now when they saw Liu Yingyi being as warm as jade, sitting at the table and eating slowly, Shui Qingxiang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"There is only one bed in this room, Lord Liu must have misunderstood the relationship between you and me, I better leave quickly and go to the inn outside to live." Shui Qingxiang is about to leave after speaking.
Liu Yingyi stopped her, "Don't be so troublesome, you sleep in bed." ”
After Liu Yingyi finished speaking, she casually put the bedding and pillow on the bed on the ground and spread them on the ground.
"You ......" Although Liu Yingyi has no problem doing this, just let the magistrate sleep on the ground and sleep on the bed by himself, Shui Qingxiang felt that there was something unreasonable, "I'll go to the guest house outside." ”
"There is only one inn in Lan County, not too far from the county government, but the innkeeper has a strange temper, and he will only arrange accommodation if an acquaintance in the county leads the way. If you don't want to bother yourself, stay here for the night, and if things go well tomorrow, we'll be home before dark tomorrow." ”
"However, the order of Liu County ......"
"Liu Xianling naturally has some problems, he misunderstood our relationship, and I will clarify it with him in the future. Yulan County is obviously a poor county, but he has the money to buy the things in this house, and I will talk to him in the future. ”
While speaking, Liu Yingyi had already made the bed not far away, placed the pillows, covered the quilt and fell asleep.
"What kind of weird innkeeper is this, and there are rules like this?" Shui Qingxiang muttered quietly.
She glanced at Liu Yingyi, who was sleeping on the ground, and said in her heart that people don't think that the price is dropped, why are they still so hypocritical, anyway, they are here to handle the case, and they can deal with it for one night.
Mizuharuka extinguished the candle and fell asleep.
