Chapter 730: Sit upright

Ye Jinyu's soul was almost snatched away, and when he realized that his heartbeat was wrong, he immediately took back the car and turned his head, rummaging through the bag around his waist, "I have horse grass here, you feed it first, huh?" I forgot about ...... too."

"Time is pressing, so you're welcome." Li Sui hooked his lips and smiled, and before Ye Jinyu could stop him, he turned over the horse neatly, sat behind her, surrounded the person with his arms, and took the reins of the horse.

Ye Jinyu was instantly surrounded by the breath of men, the muscles of his whole body were tense, and his heart was soaked in anesthetic, crispy and itchy.

Li Sui felt her excessive nervousness, and her mood was even better, "Let's go!" ”

The horse under him quickly ran around, and Ye Jinyu was shaken around, but he kept his body tense, barely maintaining his balance. Rao is so, or is it inevitable to bump into the man's arms.

After his body gradually got used to the annoying breath and touch, the noise in Ye Jinyu's chest slowly returned to stability, and at the same time, a doubt arose in his heart.

In reality, didn't Hou Ye even touch her head and turn back halfway, why did he dare to hold her like this in his dream.

What the hell was he thinking?

Ye Jinyu found that he always couldn't see through Hou Ye's thoughts, and his mood became lost and depressed. The embrace that originally made her feel warm suddenly became extremely piercing.

Even if you know that Hou Ye has affection for her, and loves and tolerates her, what can she do? She couldn't guess his heart, she couldn't see through his behavior, and she couldn't feel a sense of security.

After arriving in Jinping County, they first sat down in a tea shed and carefully read the contents of the scroll.

Except for the thirty-seven-year-old Xiang Hui, who is the son of a scholarly family, the other four are all businessmen, and they are all between 30 and 45 years old.

And there are often contacts between these five people, because the dozen or so shops in the other four households are all Xiang family's houses. and most of the food they need every year comes from the Xiang family's Zhuangzi.

It's normal for merchants to run around talking about business, and they also have branches in Fujiro City, so they go there for a few days every month.

It didn't say why they knew the housekeeper of the Tongzhi family, but everyone should know that if they want to do business in Tengluo City safely, they must open up all joints and find a backer to do things easily.

The three of them acted separately, and Qi Guanyu took the initiative to ask the three people in charge of the north and west of the city, and then left first with a heavy heart.

Ye Jinyu didn't have time to stop people, he had already ridden away.

What the hell happened to my cousin? How can they be as strange as Hou Ye, these men are really fickle.

There is a merchant surnamed Sui in the east of the city, whose family is engaged in the timber business, and there are 27 people in the family. Male and female, a son and daughter of seven or eight years old, and twenty-three servants.

Master Sui left Tengluo City on the day the deceased was found, and on the night the deceased was killed, he also went to the Guixiang Pavilion, drank wine with the deceased, and then led the girls around him back to the house to run errands.

"And after that?" Li Sui looked at the nervous Master Sui and asked, there was still Mrs. Sui standing behind him, it was about the first time that he heard that his husband had gone out of the Chu Pavilion in the Red Mansion, and he was so angry that he was unclear.

Ye Jinyu looked at her gritted teeth, I am afraid that if they were not there, this lady would definitely tear her husband apart.

Most of Master Sui's nervousness and pressure came from the lady next to him, but in order to prove his innocence, he could only defend himself: "Two adults, that night, I, I will do it, and I will go back to the inn when I am done, and I remember that it was not yet a moment before I bought it." ”

Earlier than the deceased Yuan Cheng left, then there was plenty of time to prepare.

"How many times a month do you go to the Guixiang Pavilion?" Li Sui spoke again, and without waiting for him to answer, he reminded again, "What you said, we will go back to Tengluo City to verify them one by one." If there is half a lie, you will have to go to the yamen. ”

Master Sui wiped some sweat from his forehead, sneaked a look at the fierce and vicious lady, and said tremblingly: "No, don't dare, I go three or three times a month, because I only, only stay in Tengluo City, and I will come back after three days." ”

Mrs. Sui finally couldn't help but snort coldly and scolded: "You are a beast." ”

Master Sui hurriedly confessed his mistake to his wife and begged for mercy.

"How is your relationship with the dead?" Li Sui asked again.

Master Sui hurriedly clasped his hands together and said: "That's our ancestor, we all expect him to help us match, and we don't dare to offend." ”

"Hasn't there been any unpleasantness about it?" Li Sui's eyes were like sharp blades, as if he could cut through his flesh and see clearly what demons and monsters were hidden inside.

"This, this ......" Master Sui scratched his head in a panic, and under Li Sui's gaze, he didn't dare to lie at all: "Actually, Yuan and Yuan Ye don't have a good temper, and they are very greedy, and they will always deduct the filial piety we send to your lords, so our return is always a little bit meaningless." Everyone knows these things, but no one dares to squeak, otherwise they will wait to cut off the way to wealth. ”

"Merchants who make a living in Yingcheng have to be matched by the dead?" Li Sui asked.

Master Sui said: "It's almost, anyway, our merchants in Jinping County are like this." ”

"What about Xiangfu?" Li Sui then asked, but Master Sui was stunned, and was stunned for a moment before confirming to him: "You are talking about Xiangfu in the south of the city?" ”

Li Sui nodded.

Master Sui suddenly smiled, waved his hand and said: "The three generations of the Xiang family are all famous good people in our county, and they are blessed by the shadow of the clan. ”187

"So Xiang Hui has never been to Tengluo City? Haven't been to the Guixiang Pavilion either? ”

"That's definitely not, Young Master Xiang has always been clean and self-conscious, and he is a well-known couple in Jinping County." Master Sui said categorically.

Li Sui asked a few more questions, and made sure that he had hollowed out Master Sui's words, and then got up to leave. He was also told that he could not go out again in the near future, and that the government would come at any time to confirm his confession.

Ye Jinyu followed Li Sui out of the Sui Mansion, and as soon as the door behind him closed, they heard a terrible scream coming from inside.

Ye Jinyu gloated and smiled: "You deserve it, this kind of man who can't control his lower body should be beaten, and it is better to be castrated and sent to the palace to contribute." ”

Li Sui suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, a lot of cold sweat broke out of his scalp, and he coughed lightly.

Ye Jinyu looked over when he heard the voice, and when he saw him looking weak, he suddenly became angry, and mocked: "I was talking nonsense just now, don't sit in the right seat, who are you......"

Li Sui suddenly approached, frightened Ye Jinyu, forcing her to retreat to the wall, he looked down at her, his eyes were deep and full of inquiry, and he asked puzzledly: "Since ancient times, it is natural for men to marry wives and take concubines, why is Jinyu so taboo about this?" ”

Ye Jinyu was all flustered, and was instantly poured cold by a basin of ice water. For the first time, I felt the huge difference between myself and this man in terms of emotional outlook.

"That's what you men think, what do we women have to do?" Ye Jinyu pushed the person away, quickly retreated a few steps to the side and kept a safe distance from him, "Okay, now is not the time to discuss this, let's go meet that Young Master Xiang first." ”

With that, she turned and walked in the direction of the south of the city.

Li Sui frowned and was silent in place for a moment before raising his heels.

When they stood in front of the Xiang Mansion and looked at this building that was exactly the same as in reality, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The last time they had experience in Tongyuan County, they still remembered it vividly, so they missed the opportunity to meet the Xiang family. I didn't expect that now they would complete the regret at that time in their dreams in this way.

The Xiang Mansion in the dream is not as difficult to enter as the Xiang Mansion in reality, probably because they are now knocking on the door in the name of the official mansion of Tengluo City.

The current Xiang Mansion is the same hall for three generations, and the people in the mansion heard that they were here to find the young master, so they arranged them in the front yard hall. It didn't take long for Xiang Hui, who was nearly forty years old, to come over alone.

He was born with a white and handsome face, a short beard, and an elegant and gentle temperament, looking like he was in his early thirties.

Xiang Hui made a very cumbersome salute to them, Ye Jinyu couldn't understand it, Li Sui just glanced at him calmly, and invited him into the discussion.

"You mean Guixiangkan?" After listening to Ye Jinyu's story, Xiang Hui looked at them and smiled lightly, and said calmly: "That's right, I went to Tengluo City a few days ago, and I also stayed in Guixiang Pavilion for an hour, but that was the first and last time I went." ”

"What to do? Who have you seen? Li Sui asked him.

Xiang Hui still said calmly: "I saw an old man, but I can't reveal his identity to the two of you, and you can assure the two of you that the death of the Yuan steward has nothing to do with it, we don't know each other at all, you can check it at will." ”

"When did you go to Guixiang Pavilion and when did you leave? Which girls have you seen? How many days did you spend in Vine Blossom City? Where do you live and where have you been during that time? Who have you been exposed to? Li Sui's tone became aggressive.

Maybe Xiang Hui had never been questioned like this, and a series of questions stunned him immediately, but he still maintained the most decent demeanor, and he thought to himself for a moment before he opened his mouth to explain.

"I went to Tengluo City six days ago, stayed at the Mingwei Inn in the east of the city, went to the Guixiang Pavilion around the next afternoon, and left about an hour. During this period, I was alone with the deceased in the house, and I had no contact with anyone except for the turtle slave who came to deliver tea and snacks. ”

"Did your old man leave with you?" Ye Jinyu asked.

Xiang Hui turned to her and replied, "No." ”

The hall was quiet for a moment, Xiang Hui looked at Li Sui, who was sitting precariously, and continued: "I lived in Tengluo City for two days, and during this period, I only went to Guixiang Pavilion, and I never had any contact with others. ”

"Where is that old man in your mouth? Did you go to Vine Blossom City just to see him? Li Sui asked.

"I can't tell you about the deceased." Xiang Hui firmly resisted the question.

I didn't expect his mouth to be so strict, but if he concealed it like this, it would only increase the suspicion on his body. What kind of man should he be called to maintain it like this?

"There was a murder in Guixiang Pavilion, and guests who have been there will be investigated and interrogated. Since Young Master Xiang refuses to say it, then we can only check it ourselves. As long as he has been to the Guixiang Pavilion, there are always traces to follow. ”

Li Sui stood up from the chair as he spoke, saw Xiang Hui's expression condensed slightly, and then arched his hand: "Then we will disturb Young Master Xiang and say goodbye." ”

"Thank you two for your hard work." Xiang Hui got up and saluted back, and said politely: "I'll send two." ”

The whole Xiang Mansion looked very poetic, and even the servants who occasionally passed by seemed to be full of poetry and books, calm and gentle.

Xiang Hui sent the two out of the gate, and watched them go away before turning back.

Ye Jinyu looked back and saw that Xiang Hui was a little eager to enter the door, but she was a little less calm just now, she couldn't help frowning, "Master Hou, I think that Young Master Xiang is a little strange." ”

Li Sui turned his head to look at her, his cheekbones raised slightly, revealing a smile that seemed to be complimentary, "Can you see anything unusual in Xiang Fu?" ”
