asked this, Qing Ruxu didn't look down on him, or did he not deserve Qing Ruxu......

Xiong Yishan and Liang Chen's eyes swept over one after another, as if they were going to shoot Bai Jingze's face through two holes. However, Jiang Rin was not moved, still looking ahead without squinting, and said with a light smile: "What you said is right. ”

Bai Jingze was happy when he heard it, and he didn't know what he had made up in his brain, and his smile was a little obscene. Xiong Yishan on the side was unhappy: "I said Bai Shizi, you said that our son-in-law was disliked, why don't you say that our son-in-law doesn't look down on the eldest girl?" ”

"Really?" Bai Jingze's face was surprised, and his doubts were overflowing.

He touched his chin, "Originally, Brother Jiang didn't plan to go to Changping County, but he suddenly changed his mind, isn't it because Miss Qing is going to Changping County to Shemi Grain today, so she escorted her all the way and was inseparable......

"......" Jiang Rin's demeanor almost collapsed.

Bai Jingze gave full play to his ability to observe words and feelings, and then showed a touched expression: "Could it be that Brother Jiang really put down his busy official duties and came to accompany me for the sake of me?" ”

Jiang Rin moved his gaze to look at Bai Jingze, and then flicked the horsewhip and whipped it on Bai Jingze's horse's buttocks. The horse was startled, spread its hooves, and in a moment ran away with the screaming Bai Jingze.

An hour passed, and the shadow of the small temple was already seen in front of her, but the old lady decided to go to the city first to finish the matter and then go to the Bodhisattva to return to the court, so she told the coachman to go to the county seat first.

The Qing Mansion is used to keeping a low profile, and the custom-made carriages are mainly comfortable and not flashy, so the entry into the city does not attract much attention. The old lady did not plan to make a public announcement about the matter of giving up money and food, and directly arranged it by Lord Liu of the county yamen. This is a good thing for Changping County, and it is also a good thing for Lord Liu, so as soon as the group arrived in Changping County, they were warmly taken to the house by Lord Liu's wife Yang to rest.

Qingru Xu remembered the matter of the Zhao family's tofu shop, and wanted to go to see the rice grain, so she begged the old lady to let her out, but Jiang Rin was there, and the old lady looked at her granddaughter meaningfully and didn't stop her.

Qing Ruxu changed into men's clothes and walked out of Liu's mansion, and when she saw Jiang Rin waiting for her outside, she asked, "Where is Bai Jingze?" She didn't expect Jiang Rin to come to deal with the Zhao family's case, she didn't know if Jiang Rin also intervened in her previous life, because she didn't even know about this case in her previous life.

"He was afraid that 'Little Brother Song' would be in a hurry, so he went over first."

Qing Ruxu glared at him: "You already knew!" ”

Jiang Rin pretended to be stupid: "What do you know?" ”

Qing Ruxu snorted lightly and turned her head to ignore him: "Shizhou, you go and inquire in which direction the Zhao family's tofu shop is." ”

"I've already inquired, just turn left on the road in front of me and turn into the second alley." Although Xiong Yishan has a rough appearance, he has a soft heart and is nosy, and when he saw that Qing Ruxu instructed the maid to inquire, he immediately reminded him.

Shizhou was dressed as a little girl, thinking of the last time this person called her "little girl" without disguise, he was angry, and glanced at him fiercely: "Nosy!" ”

Xiong Yishan was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked Liang Chen, "What's the matter?" ”

Liang Chen muttered in a low voice: "Nosy......"

While speaking, Qing Ruxu took the first step to turn a corner, and from afar she saw Bai Jingze, who was wearing a dazzling oil green, stretching out his arms and greeting her at the intersection of the Zhao family's tofu shop: "Little Brother Song, here and here!" ”

Then he saw Jiang Rin turning behind Qing Ruxu, "Huh? You came together? Did you know each other before? ”

"I don't know."

"I don't know."

Qing Ruxu said that she didn't know each other, and she subconsciously wanted to hide the relationship between the two. Jiang Rin said that he didn't know, but he didn't want Bai Jingze to know that "Little Brother Song" was Qingruxu.

However, it was obviously the same answer, but I didn't know why, and there was a sudden thick embarrassment in the atmosphere.

Bai Jingze looked at Jiang Rin, and then at Qing Ruxu, and took the initiative to find a reason for the two: "Oh! I see, you must have met before, but you weren't familiar with each other, I'm right! Hahaha...... Ha ......" He laughed dryly, turned his head to look at the seal posted on the door of the Zhao family's tofu shop, and changed the topic: "Brother Jiang, what should I do about this." ”

Jiang Rin directly stretched out his hand, tore off the two seals that crossed and handed them to Liang Chen, "Go in!" ”

Two wooden doors creaked, and a group of merfolk entered the courtyard.

Everyone entered the inside, only to send out that this façade is actually the backyard of the Zhao family's house rebuilt, the yard is empty and looks very deserted, a few clumps of camellia in the corner of the wall are scattered and broken, the flowers hang weakly on the broken rhizomes, and the original rose red has turned into a wilted purple black.

"The well over there is the well where the corpses were fished out, right?" Xiong Yishan closed the door behind everyone and pointed to the well to the west and lowered his voice.

Lan Zhou shuddered when he heard this, and hugged Shizhou's arm. Qing Ruxu looked over there and saw that the mouth of the well was bare, and the stone cracks were wet and a little moss. She leaned towards the well, which was empty, except for the faint waves of water reflecting her face.

Liang Chen walked to the front of the house and pushed the doors open one by one.

Because no one walked around for a few days, the air in the room had been stagnant for a long time, and as soon as the door was opened, the air began to flow, and the dust suddenly flew wildly under the urging of the air current, and it was especially obvious when the light shone into the room.

Because the Zhao family's tofu shop is the façade of the Zhao family's third courtyard, the materials and tools used to make tofu are placed in the several houses that are opened. There was only one small room with tables, chairs, beds and stools for living, and the furnishings were very simple, and there were some men's and women's clothes mixed together, as if they were ready to be washed.

Obviously, this is a house where people live, and it should be where Liu Dabao and the Qin family live. And the rope that the yellow bird hanged himself was hanging from the beam of this room at this time.

Liang Chen stood at the door of a side room, waving his hand in front of his face to block the dust that wanted to fly into his mouth and nose, and pointed to the knotted rope on the beam with the other hand. "Presumably the oriole is hanging here."

Bai Jingze was a little puzzled: "Ordinary people want to commit suicide, they will subconsciously find a safe and familiar environment, so when most people commit suicide, they will choose their own bedroom." And there are many unbearable rumors about the Qin family and Huang Li's husband, even if Huang Li's heart is like ashes, he will subconsciously avoid the place where the Qin family lives, how can he hang himself here? ”

Liang Chen was surprised: "Bai Shizi is saying that Huang Li was strangled to death, and then disguised as hanging?" ”

Bai Jingze nodded, moved his steps, walked around the room, and said, "There is a possibility." Just ask me to confirm this guess. ”

Liang Chen touched his chin and concluded: "If that's the case, this person who strangled Huang Li to death and pretended to hang himself is obviously not very smart. Huang Li's husband was also stabbed to death with a sharp weapon and thrown into the well, and it seems that both husband and wife were murdered to death. ”

There were only a few items in the chamber, and there was nothing of note except for the ropes on the beams, so the group withdrew from the room and searched the other rooms for anything suspicious. But the other rooms were just a mess of the tools and materials for making tofu, and nothing was found.

Qing Ruxu walked to the corner of the courtyard, stroked the damaged camellias, saw that the branches and leaves were trampled on, and said: "It is caused by man, there should have been a dispute in this yard." ”

Bai Jingze gently tapped his palm with a folding fan and said, "Either Huang Sanyuan is lying, or someone has a quarrel after he left the Zhao family." ”

Xiong Yishan said angrily: "Could it be that after Huang Sanyuan left, the Qin family killed Huang Li and his wife in a fit of anger, and then felt that it was impossible to escape, so he jumped into the well." ”

Liang Chen shook his head: "She is a woman, and she is pregnant, how can she kill Huang Li and his wife?" ”

Qing Ruxu said: "It's really a bit unreasonable, assuming that Zhao Qian and the Qin family really have a relationship, then the three of them quarrel, who will Zhao Qian help?" ”

Shizhou said: "Since he has already had an affair with the Qin family, he must have turned his elbow outward, I guess he is helping the Qin family." ”

Qing Ruxu said: "Since Zhao Qian helped the Qin family, then after they murdered Huang Li together, there was no conflict between the two, and they should find a way to escape together, why are they all dead?" ”

"That'...... Zhao Qian chose to help his wife Huang Li? Lan Zhou guessed: "After all, it is possible that they have been married for many years." ”

Qing Ruxu said again: "If Zhao Qian helps Huang Li throw the Qin family into the well, then even if the husband and wife can't get rid of their previous suspicions, they won't kill each other." ”

Bai Jingze's eyes lit up: "So? ”

"So I guess it was one of the Huang Li and the Qin clan who killed Zhao Qian by mistake, and Zhao Qian died, and there was an inevitable conflict between the two women."

Everyone thought about it and nodded in agreement, while Jiang Rin stood there and didn't interject.

His eyes kept falling on Qing Ruxu, who was thinking carefully about the case. She was squatting beside the flowers at this time, the sun and the withered flowers showed an illusory and messy halo around her, reflecting the long and narrow eyes very clearly, and the fair skin seemed to be penetrated by the light, thin, with a slight pink, just like the petals that fell on her hair that day in the mountains behind the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, thin and light, and pitiful.

After being recognized by everyone, her expression showed a little bit of a little girl's pride and excitement.

Jiang Rin slightly hooked the corners of his lips and said, "According to the dossier, the three people died at different times. Zhao Qian was stabbed in the vest with a sharp weapon on the night of the seventh day of the fifth lunar month and died. The time of death of Huang Li and Qin was very similar, in the early morning of the next day. Therefore, Brother Song's speculation is very reasonable. ”

Qing Ruxu didn't expect Jiang Rin to say something to confirm her guess, and then realized that what she had just said, he should have thought of it a long time ago, so he turned his head and snorted at him in a low voice.

The smile in Jiang Rin's eyes flowed, but his voice was still flat and cold: "However, there is still a little doubt. ”

"What?" Qing Ruxu's eyes blinked, and she subconsciously felt angry that she had inadvertently praised Jiang Rin, lowered her head and snorted again.

Jiang Rin looked at her annoyed expression, suppressed the smile in her eyes, and said to everyone: "According to Fang Cai's assumption, it should be the Qin clan who strangled Huang Li, and then committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. But one thing still doesn't make sense, since the Qin family is already planning to commit suicide, why do they want to fake the illusion that Huang Li committed suicide? Hang her on the beams? ”

Everyone was stunned, that's right, since the Qin clan didn't want to live anymore, why bother......
