Tang Su's suspicion was confirmed the next day, and it was none other than Tang Xian who said this.

Tang Xian came back from the field in the morning, and looked a little dusty, and when he heard that a distinguished young lady had come to the house (sister-in-law said, maybe it was for him), he decided to go and change into a more ceremonious set of clothes first.

This action alone made Qi Qi feel that Tang Xian would not be an annoying person, at least not like Wei Chang, who only wore one piece of clothing all year round regardless of the occasion - the "school uniform" of the Bad People Academy.

When they first met, Qi Qi behaved shy and timid, which almost made Tang Xian remember that this girl was the bad female student he had seen that night - and she had jumped out of the wall.

After a few words of greeting, they talked about some inconsequential topics, and during the conversation, Qi Qi felt that Tang Xian had a wide range of experience, a delicate mind and would care about people, and he had traveled all over the country, with a wide range of knowledge, knowledge, and profound thoughts, and he had both the spirit of the rivers and lakes and the spirit of books, all in all, this man was very attractive.

Qi Qi soon found it a pleasure to chat with him.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think you are a person who can be deeply acquainted," Tang Xian smiled and said, "I don't want you to think I'm too reckless when I say this." ”

"No, I like to talk to people who are knowledgeable." Qi Qi smiled and said, bowing her head shyly, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

"I haven't been able to make up my mind about my brother," he paused suddenly, his eyebrows were furrowed, and two vertical lines appeared on his forehead, looking a little anxious, for a long time, as if he had broken free from some shackles, and said, "Have you noticed, my brother is very poisoned now?" ”

Qi Qi raised her eyes and looked at Tang Xian, feeling a little proud of Tang Xian's trust in herself, in order to cater to Tang Xian's trust, she said her heart truthfully: "I noticed ......, I was a little unbelievable at first, but I just felt that he had a strange temper. Later, I figured out that it might be the reason for taking the broken intestine grass. The Broken Intestine Grass has long been banned by the government, and I really don't know where he got it. ”

"Actually, it's not that hard, you can get it everywhere in the black market, it's just that you never touch those places." Tang Xian smiled and said, "It's like the doctor's eyes are full of patients, and the car repairman's eyes are full of cars that need to be repaired." And I, the three religions and the nine streams, will come into contact with some, so it's not surprising. ”

"I really envy people like you, unfettered, free and ......"

Tang Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Of course you can do this when you are young, and when you are nearly thirty, you always have to pay attention, especially when the male owner of the family has this situation...... in this case, in this case, if it were you, what would you do?" Tang Xian added something and said: "Of course, this kind of person will not appear in your family, I am just making an analogy." ”

"How long has he been taking Broken Gut Grass?" Qi Qi asked.

"At least half a year." Tang Xian said with some pain.

Looking at Tang Xian's sentimental appearance, Qi Qi felt that he was by no means like a bad person, this person made people feel that women were very good at a glance, Qi Qi couldn't imagine that such a young and handsome young man would suddenly push another young man under the overpass. He looked somewhat out of contention, and with a privileged family and a good education, he had no reason to kill.

But the question is, why did he replace the sketches? This suspicion is not touched, and he is still the biggest suspect.

"Why are you telling me about this?" Qi Qi said apologetically, looking a little helpless.

"Because I don't know what to say to my sister-in-law." Tang Xian said with a wry smile.

"She's still completely in the dark?"

"yes, not at all." Tang Xian looked at Qi Qi's eyes fixedly and said, "Do you think I should tell her?" ”

Qi Qi was embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid...... It's a little difficult, and I don't think my cousin can bear this result. ”

"Yes, it's hard." Tang Xian exhaled and said, "That's why I told you, my sister-in-law treats you very well and trusts you very much, and you are both women, I think you may have a way to be more tactful." ”

"But what's the point of telling her?" Qi Qi said.

"Have you heard of the Emperor's newly established asylum house?" Tang Xian said.

"I've heard of it," Qi Qi said, "I've heard that there are a lot of crazy people and addicts there." They are also responsible for helping with withdrawal. ”

"Yes." Tang Xian nodded.

"You...... You don't want to send your brother there, do you? Qi Qi said in surprise.

"I'm here to save him, not to harm him." Tang Xian said helplessly.

"Of course I know you're helping him, but ......, I've heard that the people who go there are miserable." Qi Qi said hesitantly.

"Can you quit without paying a terrible price?" Tang Xian asked rhetorically: "Don't talk about breaking the intestines, it's alcohol addiction and gambling addiction, do you think it's easy to quit?" I feel that they deserve it and should bear the consequences for their mistakes. Otherwise it would be too unfair to their families. ”

"Actually, tell your sister-in-law, it's better to talk to your brother directly. But do you think your brother will agree? Qi Qi asked.

"I think maybe. Although he may seem cowardly, he is a man who can endure. ”

Qi Qi smiled bitterly: "If it is a person who can bear it, why should he take it?" ”

"He used to have a terrible migraine." Tang Xian said guiltily: "I knew it from the beginning, but seeing that he had such a bad headache, I didn't stop him, especially after seeing him get better, and even felt happy for him." But today's results were also predictable, so I also felt guilty, and I had to help him quit or I would regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"Do you have to go to the asylum yet? I think it's better to wean him at home. ”

"I can be ruthless, but do you think my sister-in-law can do it? She's a gentle, timid, unbearable woman, she's very caring and needs to be cared for, and if you tie her husband to a chair and watch him wail in pain, I don't think she can control her hands unless she ...... Tie her up too. Tang Xian said with difficulty.

"Where's the nearest asylum to it?"

"Not far, just three miles away. The dean is a native of Dengzhou, named Lin Sen, he has enough rank in the army, the court ordered him to send his family to Chang'an, and later he continued to have a very beautiful wife, he liked his little daughter-in-law very much, so he didn't want to be a border guard anymore, so he took the initiative to downgrade and became a dean. However, the level of the dean of the Kaihua Workshop is still quite high, and it is five grades. In addition, my brother and Lin Sen are actually good friends. Lin Sen also often comes to my house as a guest. ”

At this time, Qin Xiangxi walked over, with a smile on her face - she kept thinking in her heart that if the little uncle could get involved with Qi Qi, it would be the Tang family's ancestral tomb burning high incense, so she deliberately walked away to make room for the two young people, and even drove the maid out.

Now that an hour has passed, she is worried that the two young people will feel embarrassed because they don't have a common language, especially not to make Qi Qi feel embarrassed, so she came over to take a look as if she was secretive, but she didn't expect the two of them to talk very closely, and she was a little embarrassed to break in.

She stood at the door apologetically, but it was Qi Qi who welcomed her in and sat down, and she walked in with some reluctance. With a smile and appreciation on his face.

After she walked in, she felt that she was an atmosphere destroyer, so she behaved even more embarrassed, spread her hands and said, "You young people are so nice and energetic, I can't do it, I feel tired after sitting for a while, and I need to take a break." And I've been feeling a little sick lately, so I hope it doesn't work out of the cold. ”

In fact, she was not sick at all, she was just looking for a decent reason for her absence—it was supposed to be an opportunity for three people to talk, but she had been gone for so long.

"I heard you talking about Lin Sen just now, what are you talking about him? I know his family very well, especially his wife, oh, that little thing is simply so beautiful, especially her eyes, anyone who sees them will like it - I'm talking about men, and we women really get jealous of her at once. Qin Xiangxi gushed endlessly: "But I don't think she seems to be happy, maybe it's because of the old husband and young wife, or maybe it's some other reason, in short, I think she looks like she's living a very depressed life." ”

"Does she live in a hospice too?" Qi Qi asked curiously.

"Yes." Qin Xiangxi said with a sympathetic look: "Such a beautiful woman, staying in that kind of place all day long, oh, you think about it, looking at a group of crazy people, it feels terrible to think about it." ”

"It's not just for the madmen, is it? Aren't there many people who have withdrawn? Qi Qi said.

"Even so, I've heard that most of them are crazy, and lazy people and addicts account for less than a third of the number." Qin Xiangxi said. "But I heard Dean Lin Sen say that if you send lazy people and addicted people there, the 'treatment' effect is very good." She suddenly snickered and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to understand, you think, if it's a gambler or a drunkard or something, throw him into the heap of crazy people, I think they can't stand it for a day, it's even worse than going to prison." Haha, the emperor is really a wise emperor who can come up with this good way. We women no longer worry about marrying a lazy man or a gambler. ”

When Qin Xiangxi talked about Mrs. Lin Sen, Qi Qi felt that she was quite happy, so she asked, "It seems that my cousin and Mrs. Lin Sen have a good relationship, are they very compatible?" ”

"Nope."

It seems that because of familiarity, Qin Xiangxi did not hide his joy and anger like when he first met, and immediately became stiff and said: "I don't like that woman, I can't say why, anyway, I don't like it." Sometimes Lin Sen would bring his little wife with him, and there were very few words between us. Cousin, you know what, I felt very close at first sight when I saw you, but not that woman, and I found it difficult to make friends with her. ”

Unexpectedly, that woman made Qin Xiangxi so jealous, and she did not hide the hatred between the women, so Qi Qi smiled helplessly.

Seeing Qi Qi smiling a little strangely, Qin Xiangxi suddenly stood up and said, "Cousin, you wait, once our two families exchanged sketches with each other, I have a copy of hers in my hand, I will show it to you, and I promise that you will be the same as me after you see it-say that she is very beautiful." ”

This Qin Xiangxi is the kind of authentic Chang'an woman, who cares about her family, loves her family, has a long tongue, likes to inquire about other people's affairs, and even tells right and wrong, but Qin Xiangxi is not bad-eyed, she just stays at home all day long, and she is uncomfortable, and finally a rich and talkative cousin like Qi Qi comes to the house as a guest, she can't wait to find out all the topics she can find, so she really went to take the portrait of Mrs. Lin Sen.

"Look, cousin." Qin Xiangxi handed the portrait to Qi Qi.

Qi Qi took a look at it, and was really amazed by the woman in the portrait, the most beautiful woman she had ever seen at this time. Qi Qike is a person who has seen the world, she has seen many beautiful women in the princely general's family, but she has never seen such a beautiful woman with a touch of exoticism.

"It's really good, especially her eyes, which seem to have a touch of meditator's temperament."

"Oh, forget it." Qin Xiangxi snatched the portrait and said, "Cousin, don't even care about praising others, in the eyes of your cousin, she is not as beautiful as you." Hehehe, Tang Xian, don't you say? ”

Tang Xian can say that isn't it?

This sister-in-law is really good at kidnapping people, which made Tang Xian immediately fall into embarrassment, and he could only nod his head without eyes.

Qi Qi looked at Tang Xian's slightly embarrassed appearance, and suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart - Tang Xian was a lovely guy, if he wasn't the only one who might steal the sketch of the deceased, Qi Qi was even willing to become good friends with him.

Perhaps Qin Xiangxi saw Tang Xian's embarrassment, and this sister-in-law, who was a little abrupt, suddenly diverted the topic: "I will now let the maid go to her house to report the news, and tonight, let Lin Sen bring his little beauty to the banquet." What do you think? I can't even wait, Qi Qi, when the time comes, you will wear this suit to meet her, I promise that you will also make her feel amazing! When the time comes, I will introduce it to her, this is my cousin, the granddaughter of Qi Dongyang, the young master of the second prince, ha! I can even imagine her surprise when she heard about it! ”

Tang Xian had been silent since this nagging woman walked in, but he didn't seem bored, just sat quietly. Knowing that Tang Xian was twenty-nine years old, he didn't look old at all, and he had a respectful and not humble peace on his face, and a touch of mystery, which was what girls liked.

Just when Qi Qi peeked at Tang Xian, cousin Qin Xiangxi's tone suddenly raised an octave, and said, "But to be honest, I still hate that Jin Cai'er very much." She couldn't compare to my cousin, she lacked that nobility. She is simply a leprechaun who can only attract superficial men. ”

Qin Xiangxi spoke, and had already walked to the vase in the house, it seemed that she was dissatisfied with the few flowers planted there, and then she pulled out some withered words and threw them to the maid outside the house, asking the maid to hurry up and pick some new ones in the garden, and complained a little about the maid, not long eyesight, my noble cousin came, and I don't know how to change the flower arrangement, such a maid has no interest in her life.

Before finishing eating, Qi Qi sat in front of the bronze mirror and carefully combed her hair, and the high bun made her, a girl who was used to cross-headed, feel very uncomfortable, and she didn't think such a head shape was good-looking, but such a head shape was very in line with the high standards of wealthy women at that time - not beautiful, only difficult.

Through several conversations with Tang Xian, she suddenly thought that Tang Xian did not look like a person who could kill people, and he sometimes seemed a little indecisive, if a person like him could be ruthless, then everyone on the street could become a murderer.

But there was one thing she couldn't defend Tang Xian, that is, the cocoon on Tang Xian's right index finger, which was caused by the long-term hooking of the crossbow machine hanging knife.

When Jin Wuwei patrols the streets, he wears a crossbow on his body, but Qi Qi has noticed that the fingers of other Jin Wuwei are by no means as thick as those on his hands.

Wei Chang was assassinated on the day of the autopsy, May 12; Wei Chang's second assassination was in the Zuihong Mansion in Pingkangfang, on May 14. If Tang Xian's path of action in these two people can be clarified, perhaps he can be ruled out as a killer, or it may be further determined that he may also be the killer who assassinated Wei Chang.

But Qi Qi expressed deeper doubts about the latter possibility, because she thought with a woman's intuition that Tang Xian would not do that, and the more he looked at him, the more attractive he became.

However, this did not make Qi Qi relax his pursuit of him, Qi Qi also wanted to use a second method to collide with Tang Xian, she was going to take out the portrait of the deceased. If Tang Xian had a ghost in his heart, then there would definitely be a subtle change in expression on his face, and the knowledge learned in the Academy of Bad People could help Qi Qi decipher the secret information contained in these expressions.

In fact, she didn't seem sure about the second option, and she was still hesitating whether to do it or not. Because this must be based on the fact that Tang Xian had better not be a murderer, otherwise she would be in a dangerous situation, this move seems to be more to further prove that Tang Xian is not a murderer.

After combing her hair and tying it up with the help of a skillful maid, she had already made up her mind to touch Tang Xian directly. Because tonight is the second night, common sense says, there is already some greed.

"Cousin, what are you usually busy with, I heard that the nobles of Chang'an City are now popular to go out hunting, don't you plan to go once?" Qi Qi sat in a chair, waiting for the arrival of Lin Sen and his wife.

"We've been working on it lately, and if I say it, I'm sure you'll laugh at me. I want to set a baby kiss for our child, in fact, you can see that your brother-in-law Tang Su is not as capable as Tang Xian, I am really worried that he will collapse this family more and more. If I can settle on a good family affair as soon as possible, I will be at ease. But in this matter, I really want to thank Tang Xian, because he came forward for many things. If I were to do it all, I think it would be rude. With that, throwing a grateful glance at the little uncle, Tang Xian smiled at her.

After chatting for a while, Qi Qi suddenly took out a newspaper, she could confirm that Qin Xiangxi and Tang Xian would pay attention to her somewhat inappropriate behavior at the same time, and when she showed them the portrait in the newspaper, her judgmental eyes were always on Tang Xian's face.
