Chapter 732: Investigation

Ye Jinyu and Mrs. Qi saluted the old lady one after another, and then withdrew.

They sat down in the water pavilion in the garden, and Mrs. Qi taught Ye Jinyu embroidery by hand, but after a few stitches, she found that this niece was not a bad embroiderer, but not at all.

"How many times did your aunt persuade you bitterly, but you just refused to follow Hui'er to learn female popularity, preferring those knives, guns and sticks, and practicing kung fu with Wei'er all day long. You see, if you use it now, you won't. Mrs. Qi blamed her mouth, but her eyes were full of love, and she raised her hand and gently pinched her face.

Ye Jinyu grinned cheekily, and was coquettish, "I'm just stupid, I can't do this kind of meticulous work, my aunt won't dislike me, I will study seriously." ”

Mrs. Qi couldn't help her, so she taught her the tricks of embroidery.

Ye Jinyu studied carefully for a while, and then asked quietly: "Uncle, do you know the Xiang Mansion in Tongyuan County?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Qi's needle pierced the white cloth, she looked up at Ye Jinyu as if she had pressed the stop button, and asked, "Have you gone to inquire about your mother?" ”

Ye Jinyu smiled embarrassedly, worried that she would misunderstand, and quickly explained: "I was curious to inquire, I didn't mean anything else, I didn't want to recognize my relatives, I just thought the people of the Xiang family were quite strange." If they were able to rebuild a temple for their dead daughter and erect a memorial plaque for her, it means that they have forgiven her. It is said that people love the house and the house, especially the parents treat their children, but they turn a blind eye to the existence of my mother, so I don't understand. ”

Mrs. Qi smiled lovingly, touched her head and said softly, "You are still young, and it is normal that you can't understand many things. ”

Ye Jinyu showed a well-behaved smile and asked flatteringly, "Then what does my aunt think of the Xiang family?" ”

Mrs. Qi tapped the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Little girl, it's not that you deliberately trick your aunt's words." Although my aunt knew about the existence of the Xiang family, she had never met anyone in their family, so how could she talk about it. ”

"It's been more than thirty years since my grandmother died, and I haven't been in touch during that time?" Ye Jinyu still didn't give up, thinking of Xiang Hui's cover up of the old man in his dream, and said that he couldn't reveal his identity, it means that the other party must have a very good background, if it's just an ordinary person, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

As far as she knows, the Xiang family should only have some contact with the Qi family in Yingcheng, so could the person Xiang Hui want to maintain be someone from the Qi family?

She still wanted to get some words from her aunt, but seeing that her aunt was so vigilant, continuing to ask would only arouse her aunt's suspicions.

Ye Jinyu patiently learned embroidery with his aunt in the water pavilion for a while, and finally came out of the Qi family after promising his aunt that he would practice well when he went back, and the first finished embroidered product would be used to show his aunt.

On the way back, she deliberately asked the coachman to turn around to Changshengfang, and saw from a distance the bustling and lively teaching workshop in the past, but now it is like a forbidden place that has been isolated, all the people passing by are walking around, and several officers and soldiers are holding spears and guarding the door.

Upstairs, there were a few small windows open, and the figures of several girls could be faintly seen, and they looked out into the street, but they were worried that they would be seen, so they quietly glanced at nothing unusual, and snapped the windows shut.

Ye Jinyu looked through the carriage window for a moment, but did not find Qi Guanyu, thinking that he should be going to investigate the case, so he asked the coachman to go back to the Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, it was such a scene when she returned to the Hou Mansion to greet her.

In the hall of the front yard, Hou Ye sat on the upper seat, next to him was the cousin she had just looked for in Changshengfang, and on the other side stood Yun Qianzhong and her maidservants, Yun Qing and Ling Zhao, as well as two officials.

"I've seen Master Hou, cousin and Qi joined the army." Ye Jinyu went in and saluted the two, then turned his head to look at Qianzhong and the others, and saw that their expressions were quite calm, so he was also relieved.

"Since Miss Qianzhong is the honored guest of the Hou Lord, then during the time she lived in the Hou Mansion, she also asked the Hou Ye to be able to take a good look at people. Now everyone in the workshop can't get rid of suspicion for the time being, and if I want to see Miss Qianzhong in the future, I also ask Master Hou to make it convenient. Qi Guanyu said to Li Sui.

"Naturally, when human life is at stake, how can Ben Hou stop it." Li Sui said politely.

While they were talking, Ye Jinyu approached Ling Zhao and asked what was going on.

Ling Zhao explained the whole process in a few words, "When I went to pick up Miss Qianzhong and return to the city, I met Qi Joinjun who came to interrogate Miss Qianzhong halfway through. ”

Ye Jinyu was clear, and when he was about to talk to Qianzhong, he suddenly heard Hou Ye instruct: "Ling Zhao, you take Qianzhong girl down to rest first, Jinyu, you stay." ”

Ye Jinyu and Ling Zhao both hesitated, but soon Ling Zhao reacted and led Yun Qianzhong and the others out of the hall. Qi Guanyu waved his hand at his subordinates, and the two officials also retreated.

The door of the hall closed, Li Sui motioned for Ye Jinyu to sit down, and saw her sit down with his own eyes before turning to Qi Guanyu and asking, "When did Brother Wei know the identity of Benhou?" ”

Ye Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and keenly caught the word "Brother Wei", isn't this what her cousin called in her dream, she looked at them excitedly.

Qi Guanyu's face stiffened slightly, a trace of strange emotion crossed his eyes, and he returned to normal after a while, and arched his hand: "Last time when the Hou Ye and the crown ceremony, the next official learned of your words, Yuyun, Yunyu. It's the lower officials who are stupid, they didn't know that Brother Yun Yu was the Hou Ye, I think Jin Yu also knew about it, before... It's the lower officials who are meddling. ”

Ye Jinyu's heart tightened, and he finally understood that the last time he was in a dream, his cousin's attitude would be so abnormal, it turned out that he knew everything.

"I, I also found out not long ago, I didn't mean to hide it from my cousin, cousin don't be angry." Ye Jinyu hurriedly explained. wonderful

Qi Guanyu showed a warm smile and shook his head to show that he didn't mean to blame her. Of course, he wouldn't let her know, and when he just learned the identity of Hou Ye, he was shocked and entangled for several days.

Thinking of the intimacy between Jin Yu and Brother Yun Yu in the past, she only felt that such behavior was inappropriate at the time, and she was worried that Jin Yu would be gossiped about and hurt herself. But when he thought about it at this time, there was another indescribable emotion in his heart, which made him reluctant to believe that this thing was true.

He even had a thought that made him afraid, he actually hoped that Yun Yu was just Yun Yu, and his fate with Jin Yu would only stop in a dream, and would fade away with time.

He was taken aback by his thoughts, and went to the temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures for three days to meditate, which slowly soothed those inexplicable and uncontrollable emotions.

In fact, the fact that Yun Yu is the Hou Ye is a good thing for Jin Yu. Whether in a dream or in reality, she and Hou Ye are a natural couple.

Li Sui's gaze wandered over them for a moment, suppressed a trace of displeasure in his heart, and said: "What happened in the dream last time, do you still remember, it is very similar to today's Yingcheng, I don't know what Qi thinks about joining the army?" ”

Qi Guanyu put away his thoughts that were about to drift away, and sorted out the clues they had tracked down in the past two days in his heart before he spoke: "As Hou Ye said, this case is eight points similar to the case in Guixiang Pavilion. However, there are subtle differences, this time the deceased was not hanged outside the servant's room, but in the garden behind the flower building, facing the windows of the girls in the workshop. ”

Ye Jinyu listened carefully to his story.

"Also, the time of death of the deceased is not the same, this Steward Yuan was killed at the end of last night, and he was drugged before he died, and his hands and feet were tied, so he did not have any struggle before he died."

Ye Jinyu was surprised: "From the time to the end of the day, during this time period, there should still be people coming and going in the workshop." The murderer is too bold, isn't he afraid of being discovered? ”

Qi Guanyu nodded, "As Jin Yu said, during that time period, there were indeed many people walking around in the workshop. Of course, this does not rule out that there will be a period of time when no one passes by, and the murderer should have taken advantage of this gap to commit the crime. ”

Li Sui raised his eyes and asked, "Wouldn't it be that you killed someone and waited until the workshop was quiet before you lost it and hung it up?" ”

Qi Guanyu shook his head and said affirmatively: "Impossible, when we received the report, it was just ugly, and according to the girl who found the deceased, when she saw a shadow dangling in the window, she opened the window to check, and saw the deceased." At that time, she was frightened and fainted, and only after a stick of incense did she wake up, and then she informed her mother of the incident and sent someone to the yamen to report the case. ”

Li Sui would understand, if the time was calculated in this way, the corpse could only be hung up before the end of the child. Hanging in such a conspicuous place, I guess I deliberately wanted to be discovered.

"If the murderer can seize a small gap to kill someone, then he must have stayed in the workshop that night, and he was there before the ugly time." Qi Guanyu frowned and said, "It's just that we have checked everyone in the workshop, as well as all the guests who came in and out that night, and we haven't found any suspicious people yet. ”

"What about the suspicious people in the surrounding area that we got in our dreams, are these people real?" Ye Jinyu seized the opportunity to ask.

"I have sent someone to Tongyuan County to investigate, and there should be results tomorrow. However, which city Ziwei City refers to has not yet been confirmed. And the three people over there have to ask Miaoyin what the situation is. Qi Guanyu said.

"It's not a coincidence, Miao Yin is not in the house." Ye Jinyu spread his hands and said.

Qi Guanyu didn't think much about it, just nodded and said, "Well, then please ask Jinyu to help me ask about the situation." ”

"No problem!" Ye Jinyu agreed with both feet.

"Qi joins the army, the Xiang Mansion of Tongyuan County, you must investigate carefully." Li Sui opened his mouth to remind.

Referring to this Xiang Mansion, Qi Guanyu thought of the incident last time, and after being reminded by his cousin, he had secretly investigated how the brothers who had been with him recently. No anomalies were found for the time being, and he even wondered if he was going in the wrong direction.

It's not that he's out of the ghost, but he's been targeted, and his every move has been seen thoroughly. But he couldn't understand why this person wanted to prevent them from going to see the people of the Xiang family?

Last time, Yu Hong was intercepted and killed halfway through, he can be recognized as someone related to the Finch Organization, but what does the Xiang family have to do with the Finch Organization?

What is the intention of this person who secretly watches his every move?

After Qi Guanyu left, Li Sui sent someone to invite Yun Qianzhong to his study.

"Then, I'll go too." When Ye Jinyu heard this, he immediately said.

Li Sui shook his head without thinking about it, and refused very simply, "You go back to Fuyuan and wait, after Ben Hou asks, he will ask her to see you." ”

Ye Jinyu was suddenly displeased, his heart was sour, and he frowned suspiciously. Hou Ye exposed so many things in front of her, why did he suddenly avoid it when it came to Qianzhong.

Could it be that he really has thoughts about Chie?

Ye Jinyu couldn't help grinding his teeth, this is not impossible, as the so-called "the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change", didn't he still say in his dream that it was normal to marry a wife and take a concubine? So it's not surprising that he likes two people at the same time, three or even more.

Meow a mi, it's really a scumbag!
