Chapter 63: Blossoms

"Wang Xiancheng, bring me the household registration documents related to Hua Niang Lanxiang."

Cao Xiu really didn't expect that the soft-looking and weak Lanxiang girl would actually deceive people, and sure enough, people can't be good-looking.

As soon as he returned to the county office, he did not call Lanxiang in such a hurry, but sat in the court, his fingertips tapped on the Longshu case, and while looking at the white-glazed plum bottle on the Longshu case, he instructed Wang Xiancheng to get the Lanxiang girl's file.

Wang County's head promised, called a scribe, and went to the treasury together.

Song Caiwei stood beside Cao Xiu and asked, "My lord, what are you thinking?" ”

At this moment, there is still a cadre of officials, and Song Caiwei is naturally called an adult.

Cao Xiu looked at the painting on the wine bottle and said, "I'm thinking...... Cai Wei, you see, the little girl in this painting is a bit like the orchid girl in Wanhualou. ”

Song Caiwei listened to him, and took a closer look at the bottom of the painting, the figures on the painting are depicted with blue lines, on which a man, a woman and two children are playing by the water, looking very cheerful, and the whole painting looks lifelike.

"It's really a bit like ......," Song Caiwei said, and then guessed: "This wine was originally sent by her family, maybe even the wine bottle was made by her family, right?" ”

Cao Xiu listened to it and felt that what she said seemed to make some sense.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "My lord, there is an old man named Sun Wukong outside who wants to see Miss Lanxiang." ”

Cao Xiu was puzzled: "Who is this old man, Miss Lanxiang is now an important suspect in the murder of Ma Teng, and ordinary people are not allowed to meet her." ”

The official said: "I'm afraid this old gentleman Sun is not an ordinary person, he is the father of Miss Lanxiang, he just came from the township, he was going to find Miss Lanxiang, but he didn't want to hear that his daughter had committed a lawsuit for life, so he listened to the words of the old bustard and came to our county office." ”

Cao Xiu touched his nose, Baihua Brew contains arsenic, and Lanxiang kept saying that the lid had not been opened when it was brought from her hometown, but could it be her parents who wanted to poison her, this is not logical at all.

Therefore, it happened that Miss Lanxiang's father came, and Cao Xiu could use this to know the truth of the matter.

"Okay, let him go to jail." Cao Xiu stood up and said to Song Caiwei: "Let's follow and listen to what they said." ”

The officer went down with the order.

Cao Xiu took Song Caiwei and went to the prison to wait first.

When I left, I didn't forget to take the white-glazed plum bottle on the dragon book case with me.

……

In the prison, the cells of male and female prisoners are separated by a wall.

When Cao Xiu entered, Miss Lanxiang's father had already arrived, this was an old man, his clothes were patched, and he looked cowering, obviously very afraid of Cao Xiu's kind of official.

Cao Xiu said: "Uncle, you go in first......"

Uncle Sun didn't dare to look at him, he leaned over, and under the leadership of the jailer, he entered the prison, because he was afraid, his body was trembling, and his eyes kept looking at the ground.

Cao Xiu followed, and at this time, Wang Xiancheng ran from the treasury with the archives of Miss Lanxiang in his hand.

"Blossom ......"

As soon as he walked into the cell where Miss Lanxiang was being held, Uncle Sun knelt outside and looked at his daughter.

When Miss Lanxiang saw him, she was startled, "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Uncle Sun said: "Your mother misses you, asked me to come and see, I thought you were a maid in Wang Yuanwai's house, but who would have thought, ran to the Qinglou, the Qinglou is not a place we can stay, Cuihua, go to my father's house......"

Lan Xiang shook her head, pondered for a while, looked at the ceiling and said, "I can't go back......"

As he spoke, Yu Guang saw Cao Xian standing in the shadow not far from Uncle Sun, listening to their father and daughter while reading the documents in their hands.

Miss Lanxiang held Uncle Sun's hand and said, "I committed a life lawsuit, don't tell my mother when you go back." ”

The tone of her voice no longer has the appearance of Wanhualou as a popular flower girl, but like a vulgar village girl.

Uncle Sun said: "I know, but why did you kill someone?" ”

Lan Xiang said: "Whether I killed the person or not, there is no conclusion yet, father, my mother, brothers and sisters, are they okay?" Have you received all the money I sent back? ”

Uncle Sun listened, choked up a little, wiped his tears, and said, "It's all good, it's all received, it's not easy for you to be in the city, and you don't have to send money home every month." ”

Lan Xiang said: "I'm doing well in the city, and my mother is also very good to me, but you, don't save too much, look at what you're wearing, isn't the money I gave you enough?" ”

Uncle Sun waved his hand and said: "It's enough, it's not enough, but we don't dare to use it, in addition to spending it on your younger brothers' studies, we have saved it, and we will give you a dowry in the future. It's just that you don't know, Dongzhu in the next village has been thinking about you, he is also a good guy, the white glaze he made, but it's good, people in ten miles and eight villages like it, you see, the Baihua Brew sent to you some time ago is in his bottle. Three months ago, he came to our house and said that he wanted to take you home and follow him, and there was no need to be a maid for those rich people, I looked at this child and liked it, hehe, so I agreed to ...... for you."

When Lan Xiang heard this, she suddenly hugged the fence outside and cried, shook her head and said, "I'm not worthy of him anymore, Dad, you go back and tell Brother Dongzhu to ask him to marry a clean man." ”

Uncle Sun was puzzled, "Cuihua, what's wrong?" Why aren't you clean? I see that you look better and cleaner than when you left the village, and according to my father, people are almost unworthy of you. ”

Lan Xiang covered her mouth, "Dad, don't talk about it, let's not talk about this today......"

Uncle Sun said strangely: "How can you not talk about it, by the way, didn't Dongzhu enter the city last month?" Haven't you seen it? ”

Lan Xiang nodded and said, "I saw it, and we separated without saying a few words." ”

Uncle Sun was puzzled, "What's going on?" Didn't you play with him from childhood to adulthood? Quarreled? Okay, I'll kill this stinky boy when I go back, and actually bully my family's Cuihua......"

Lan Xiang wiped her tears and said, "No, no, don't...... In short, Dad, Brother Dongzhu and I are inseparable. ”

"Sun Wukong, it's almost time." The jailer behind him immediately interrupted Lan Xiang's conversation with her father.

Uncle Sun was a little afraid of these officials, where did he dare to have any rebuttal, and said to Miss Lanxiang: "Cuihua, I'll come to see you another day......"

"Father, you go slowly, be careful on the road......" Miss Lanxiang shouted to her father outside through the fence.

At this time, Cao Xiu came over and said: "Sun Lanxiang, formerly known as Sun Cuihua, a villager of Chixi Village, Liyuan, when he was thirteen years old, he left home and went to the city to work as a maid at Wang Qishan's house, and then because of disagreement with others, he was driven out of the palace...... Miss Lanxiang, your resume is quite interesting......"

Lan Xiang looked at Cao Xiu, and immediately returned to the attitude that she should have as a Qinglou flower girl, and said, "My lord, what do you want to say?" ”

Cao Xiu said bluntly: "You said at the beginning that you had never used arsenic, but the people of the government went to Wanhualou to check, and you went to the treasury three days ago to ask for a pack of ......."

"But what did you say?" Miss Lan Xiang took out a packet of medicine from her neckline.

Cao Xiu was stunned, how could Sun Lanxiang still have arsenic in her hands, "This, what's going on......"

Lan Xiang said: "Because I want to choose an oiran, but the slave family thinks that she is older than the Qiyun girl, in order to beat her, I have to use arsenic to make the skin whiter, this is the ancient method, the adult is a man, I'm afraid I don't know......"

Cao Xiu blurted out: "Turning white? Do you have to use arsenic to whiten? Like cucumbers, lemons can turn white. ”

When Lan Xiang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "My lord, what did you say?" What melon? ”

Belch.

Cao Xiu felt that he was too talkative, so he quickly changed his words: "Don't talk about this yet, let's talk about how Ma Teng died." ”
