Chapter 13: Liuzhou's Suspicions (11)
A thin man walked out of the arch behind Jing Ziyan from Jing Ziyan.
It was actually Sun Xinglai's apprentice Ding Yi.
"The villain has seen the adults as soon as he sees them."
"You've been with me all the way, what are you trying to do?" Jing Ziyan asked in a cold voice.
"My lord, last night the sachet shop broke into a man in black, rummaging in the master's room, I don't know what I was looking for, I was bumped into by the villain, and he threatened the villain not to report to the official." Ding Yi still said in shock.
"What? Looking for something? Did he find what he was looking for? Jing Ziyan asked in a low voice.
"This... This villain doesn't know. ”
"That's why you followed me all the way?"
"No, no," Ding Yi hurriedly distinguished, "It's because the man in black that the villain bumped into last night, his voice is very similar to Master's friend." ”
Hearing this, Jing Ziyan fell into deep thought. It seems that Sun Xinglai's friend is the key to solving the case. "You can know what characteristics your master usually has when he interacts with this friend?"
Ding Yi recalled: "He was about seven feet tall, with a silver mask on his face, and he usually used his left hand. Suddenly, his tone was a little too high: "My lord, I remember, the man in black last night, I remember, he also used his left hand with his sword. ”
According to Ding Yi's description, these two people can almost be suspected of being the same person. Jing Ziyan suddenly asked, "In the past two days, have there been strange people going to the sachet shop?" ”
"Oh, I remember, yesterday evening, the deputy butler Xue of the Yan Mansion came, saying that when he came to ask the master last time, he saw a flower in the master's room, and he loved it very much.
"Is there such a thing?" Jing Ziyan was relieved. He felt that the appearance of the murderer was almost in front of him. "Okay, I see, you can go back." Jing Ziyan said lightly. "If you have any questions, you can always come to me."
Ding walked towards the gate step by step. Jing Ziyan felt that this Ding Yi was really strange.
He instructed Mo Yu, who was following behind: "Mo Yu, you go and check Xue Xiang of Yan Mansion for me." With that, he continued to walk towards the house. Walking in the inner courtyard, the scenery inside is full of scenery, pavilions and water pavilions, although the house has long been idle, but a little repair, it will also be a good view.
You Xi followed behind Jing Ziyan, after reading the east cross courtyard, and then passed through an arch, entered the west cross courtyard, the west cross courtyard is not as delicate as the east cross courtyard, and there are many less scenery in the courtyard, but under the wooden steps next to the upper room of the west cross courtyard, this piece of peixin grass actually grows.
This piece of peheart grass is obvious, and it was planted here. This piece of peaches is neatly planted on this piece of land, and the surrounding area is made of soil to form a neat boundary, and the soil for planting pexingrass is also different from the soil in this yard.
Jing Ziyan asked sharply, "Young pity, where did you find this residence?" ”
"Hui Gongzi, this house was introduced by Fang Yazi, and the land deed and house deed procedures are readily available." You Xi replied.
"Did Fang Yazi tell you that there are still people living here?"
I was stunned. "Someone lives, how is it possible, Fang Yazi's people told the slave maid that this place has been idle for a year, and no one has lived in it, and the original owner pawned the land deed to Fang Yazi, and now that the schedule is full, Fang Yazi will take it out and sell it."
Jing Ziyan stood in the courtyard of the west cross, carefully observing this pexingrass, there is not a single green plant in the courtyard of the west courtyard, there is no rockery barrier, flowers and trees, only this abrupt pexingrass. Jing Ziyan followed the young man into the upper room in the west cross courtyard, although the furnishings in the room were simple. Jing Ziyan wiped it lightly with his hand on a table of eight immortals, there was no dust on his fingers, obviously, someone here often came to clean it.
In the drawer of the low cabinet placed on the long kang in the room, Jing Ziyan found a silver mask. "It's a pity, you go to Fang Yazi and buy this house immediately." Jing Ziyan commanded. "But we didn't rush to move over first, and ordered Mo Yu to monitor this small courtyard day and night, and when we saw someone entering, we immediately arrested it."
Then Jing Ziyan and Youxi walked out of the house. Jing Ziyan hopes that this time, he can gain something. While thinking about how to tell Liu Jingyi in Yanfu the news, let her find a way to check Xue Xiang, the deputy housekeeper of Yanfu.
At this time, Liu Jingyi, who was in Yanfu, was chatting happily with Yan Zitong. According to Liu Jingyi's prescription, Yan Zitong has recovered and is full of energy, and he has not been born with a serious illness at all.
Yan Zitong followed Liu Jingyi's instructions, and no longer used sachets. Even the potted flowers and greenery are no longer placed, and the complexion is indeed getting better and better.
"Jingyi, thank you for curing my illness. You know, you gave me a second life. If Liu Jingyi didn't know about Yan Zitong's marriage with the Fifth Prince, she would definitely feel that Yan Zitong was exaggerating, but now, she felt that Yan Zitong did fancy the identity of the Fifth Prince.
"Jingyi, I won't tell you, I was going to marry the fifth prince in March this year, but I was seriously ill, although the fifth prince wrote to His Majesty to postpone the wedding, but I know that if I have been bad with this illness, maybe this marriage may not exist." Yan Zitong said leisurely.
Liu Jingyi opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
Yan Zitong said to himself, "Do you think that marrying the prince must be a great honor, but I would rather not have this glory." She said in a slightly sad voice, "Originally, I fell in love with the four princes, and the four princes originally planned to ask Your Majesty for marriage, but who knew that the five princes were the first to ask Your Majesty for marriage." ”
"I begged my grandfather, don't let me marry the fifth prince, but the holy will is unbearable." Yan Zitong said. "Actually, the fifth prince and the fourth prince have always been at odds, everything, he has to rob the fourth prince, he knows, I am in love with the fourth prince, and deliberately ask His Majesty for advice, I don't know, I will face what I will face when I marry."
"When I was sick, I especially hoped that I could not afford to get sick, so that I could escape from this marriage." Yan Zitong began to sob. "But grandpa said that I must marry the fifth prince in order to save the lives of the whole clan."
The more Yan Zitong said, the more serious the sobbing became, "I don't know, why my marriage is tied to the lives of the whole clan, grandpa said, I must get better and keep my marriage with the fifth prince." ”
Liu Jingyi walked up to Yan Zitong and gently held Yan Zitong's hand. She didn't know what words to use to comfort Yan Zitong.
"Grandpa also said that it is impossible for me to be with the four princes, let me stop worrying" Yan Zitong lay on Liu Jingyi's body, crying indulgently.
Liu Jingyi gently patted Yan Zitong's back. She felt that the marriage between Yan Zitong and the fifth prince was not simple, and it was not a simple competition between the fourth prince and the fifth prince.
"Miss Yan, let's go for a walk outside, move around more, it's good for your body." She didn't know how to comfort Yan Zitong, so she could only take her out of the boudoir, walk more, broaden her vision, and naturally feel comfortable.
"Jingyi, you can call me sister in the future, don't talk about Miss Yan, it sounds weird. You are not allowed to refuse. ”
"Yes, Sister Zitong." Liu Jingyi called her sister sweetly.
So, Yan Zitong took Liu Jingyi to wander around the garden of Yanfu. Suddenly, in a nondescript flower garden in the garden, I saw a flower-covered flowering plant. Liu Jingyi was taken aback. "Sister Zitong, who usually takes care of this flower garden?"
"Before, it was all taken care of by a special family, but two months ago, because of negligence, the family raised a flower plant that grandpa particularly loved to death, and grandpa was angry, so he drove him out of the Yan family, and now it is taken care of by Deputy Chief Manager Xue, and when a new flower family is found, it will be taken care of by the new family." Yan Zitong said.
"But the general flower garden, don't you need to take care of people who are good at raising flowers," Liu Jingyi asked puzzled.
"Since the family left, there has been no suitable person to take care of the flower garden, Deputy Manager Xue said that he had learned to raise flowers before, and his grandfather handed over the flower garden to him to take care of." Yan Zitong said softly. "It's strange to say that the withered flower plant was actually revived by him. Grandpa was very happy, and he also rewarded Deputy Chief Xue with a lot of things. ”
Liu Jingyi remembered the words of Zhao Gui in the flower house, everyone who raises flowers knows that Peixincao cannot be planted with flowers, but this Xue manager, if he is really proficient in the way of flowers and plants, should know that where there are flowers and plants, there must be no Peixincao. "But what's the matter with this Pedional?" Liu Jingyi had a question in her heart, "There is a problem with this Xue Xiang." ”
In the distance, there is a bright white flower blooming in the flower garden. Liu Jingyi's face changed, this is Nalan jacquard. Seeing Liu Jingyi looking at the many white flowers in a daze, Yan Zitong said: "That grand flower, called Nalan jacquard, was sent by the fifth prince, saying that he knew that grandpa loved flowers, so he specially asked someone to find it. ”
In an instant, Liu Jingyi's face turned pale.
