Volume 1: Husband Chapter 31 Wangjianglou Tells the Case (II)
When the rainy season comes, it rains on three out of five days, and the sky is always dark and dark. Today's rain is also quite imposing, like a heavenly river pouring down. Occasional lightning flashes reflected Bai Jingze's eyes even more vividly. He looked around and saw the eager eyes of everyone, and then he spoke again with satisfaction:
"Zhao's tofu shop is well-known in Changping County, and Huang Li and her husband Zhao Qian are also very rich. His helper Liu Dabao and his wife Qin live in the Zhao family all year round. Living under the same roof, looking down and not looking up, coming and going, Zhao Qian and Qin's very close words spread far and wide, and even the neighbors gossiped. Liu Dabao often heard someone chewing on the root of his tongue behind his back, but he could only swallow his anger when he begged for a living in Zhao's house. β
Therefore, Liu Dabao suddenly fell ill and died, and everyone felt that things were different, and of course they thought of the gossip between Zhao Qian and the Qin family on weekdays. guessed that it was the Qin family and Zhao Qian who conspired to poison Liu Dabao to death! Even Liu's mother, who hurried to hear the news, reported to the government and asked for an autopsy! β
Bai Jingze let out a long breath and smiled: "But is this really the truth of the matter?" β
Everyone knew that he was about to end this storytelling, and they all showed itchy and regretful looks.
Bai Jingze did not say an appetizing sentence after the storyteller was like other storytellers, "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition", but smiled slightly and raised his voice: "This story is pure fiction, if there are similarities, it is pure coincidence!" β
Qing Ruxu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and he thought of it. But with this sentence, it saved him a lot of trouble. After all, the story he told was widely spread, and if someone really used it to make a fuss, it would not end well. So the phrase "pure fiction" is really wonderful!
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Of course, I'll go home first." Qing Ruxu looked at Lan Zhou with a smile: "What, do you want to help the government investigate the case?" β
Lan Zhou's cheeks were red, she had been sulking all the time, she would listen to Bai Jingze's story, but she could listen to it, so she was a little embarrassed: "The slave just thinks that this thing is very strange, that Du Wenxian, how can he never kill his childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©e, there is no reason?" β
"Yes, if Du Wenxian climbs into a rich and noble family, he will have a motive, but the problem is that there is nothing, Du Wenxian is clean and self-conscious, and there are no such messy things at all."
"What are you going to do with that girl?"
"Let's go back to the house first, it's been a long time since I came out today. Go back and think about it before you make plans. β
"It's raining so hard outside, I'm afraid that the umbrella can't cover it, and the girl will get wet before she gets into the carriage when she goes out."
Lan Zhou was a little worried, the girl was weak, unlike others, a little rain and a wind was just a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold. If she is sick, it is very scary, not to mention that the whole house will be alarmed, even the Song family will also be visited, and she can't wait to stare at Qing Ruxu with a good eye until she recovers.
Qing Ruxu actually forgot about this, "Then let's wait here for a while, and then leave when the rain is lighter." β
The guests in the tea shop left one after another, leaving only the sporadic three casual customers chatting, and occasionally almost words drifted to their ears, talking about Du Wenxian's case. Bai Jingze looked around, and suddenly saw an unfamiliar face, he had nothing to do at this time, and he had always been a self-acquaintance, so he didn't think much about it, raised his legs and went up to the second floor, and sat opposite Qing Ruxu. "This little brother looks at the eyes, is the head back?"
If it was someone else, Qing Ruxu would definitely turn around and leave, but this person was Bai Jingze, so there was no need.
She knows the temperament of this product too well, when her nerves are thick, she can't see a black worm in the white rice, and when she is careful, she can find things that others can't find. There is nothing wrong with this person, it is noisy, even if you meet an ant that falls into a blister on the road, you can talk to others about saving your life for a long time.
In short, there are only two words that can sum up Bai Jingze.
Wonderful!
Therefore, Qing Ruxu is not worried about what he has for himself, he is afraid that he has not even found out that he is a girl, in his eyes, people are not good-looking or not, and it does not distinguish between useful and useless, he only looks at whether you have a story that can be excavated, or whether you like the story he tells. Aside from being a little silly, he's a good guy.
And at this time, Bai Jingze came to her, just to find a living creature and want to release the words in his stomach!
Qing Ruxu gave the vigilant Lan Zhou and Shizhou a look, so that they could calm down for a while, and she looked at Bai Jingze with a smile and replied: "Mr. Bai is so eloquent, I admire him!" β
Bai Jingze's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to introduce Qing Ruxu as a confidant: "Thank you brother Tai for your praise, dare to ask your surname?" β
"Don't have your surname Song."
"It turned out to be Little Brother Song!" Bai Jingze was very happy to see that Qing Ruxu was willing to talk to him, arched his hand, and said: "My story today, can Brother Song hear it clearly?" β
"Mr. Bai's eloquence is wonderful, and his tongue is full of lotus flowers, and he can hear it very clearly, but there are still many details that I don't know."
Bai Jingze's eyes lit up again: "It seems that Brother Song is not only interested in the story, but also in the case!" β
Qing Ruxu turned his words in his heart and said, "Of course I'm interested, if I can, I want to go to the Zhao family's tofu shop to see it in person." β
Bai Jingze's eyes widened, and he was full of words "What the hero sees is slightly the same". "I also have this plan, the murderer has not been caught, and I can't see the full picture of this case, which really makes me itch unbearably, if I wait for the government to judge the case, I don't know when I will have to wait. I haven't had the heart to tell a story for the past two days! Why don't you ......" Bai Jingze asked tentatively: "Junior Brother Song is willing to go with him to investigate?" β
"But the Zhao family's tofu shop, I'm afraid it has been seized by the government, right? It's not easy to get in. β
"You don't have to worry about this, I have a brother who is in charge of this, I will ask him to help, it will be no problem."
"Really?" Qingru Xu smiled very friendly, she was so focused on the case that she didn't realize who the "brother" in Bai Jingze's mouth was: "Since this is the case, then it will trouble Brother Bai!" β
The two made an appointment, and the rain outside was light. Qing Ruxu got up to say goodbye, Bai Jingze even showed a reluctant look, Qing Ruxu nodded at him and went home happily.
Bai Jingze watched the kind-faced little brother leave, and he shook off the fan with a sigh and went to his brother's residence.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Liang Chen and Xiong Yishan reported the incident at the gate of the city to Jiang Rin today, Jiang Rin has been silent.
Xiong Yishan was worried that he had done something wrong, and kept squeezing his eyes at Liang Chen.
Liang Chen was uncomfortable by his eyebrows, and simply said loudly: "Childe, or ...... Tomorrow two people will follow Miss Qing? β
"Not necessarily." Jiang Rin put down the pen in his hand and said very plainly: "It's not a big deal. Even if I know that it doesn't matter if I send someone to follow her, I hope that she will come to me for a theory, and then I will ask the reason. β
"Why? Isn't it because of her cousin surnamed Song? Xiong Yishan stood five steps away and interjected in a muffled voice.
"Oh? Do you know quite a bit? Jiang Rin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xiong Yishan laughed and stepped forward and was about to speak, when he saw Liang Chen giving him a look, he realized that the son was not praising him, and hurriedly retreated: "My subordinates don't know ......."
Jiang Rin glanced at them with a smile: "Okay, go and get busy with you." β
Xiong Yishan didn't know Jiang Rin's thoughts, and immediately smiled, Childe was so kind today, he didn't even blame him. Liang Chen smelled a hint of strangeness: "Childe...... You don't have a competent person on your side, and your subordinates are not at ease, so let your subordinates follow you. β
Jiang Rin shook her head, "If Miss Qing knew that I sent someone to follow her, she would definitely not be polite, and if she changed two people, she might not be able to resist her tossing." β
The corners of Liang Chen's mouth twitched, and he listened to Jiang Rin continue: "Although the Imperial City Division cannot be reused for a long time, the water inside is still very deep, if I have people with me, it is easy to arouse the defense of others, and it is easier to find out the situation inside." β
When Liang Chen heard him say this, he was speechless, and dragged Xiong Yishan to leave. As a result, Bai Jingze's loud voice outside the door directly penetrated Jiang Rin's courtyard, "Brother Jiang! β
Xiong Yishan pulled two caterpillar-like thick eyebrows, and said, "Why is he here again!" Childe, why don't you get rid of him for you? β
Since Jiang Rin saved Bai Jingze's life, he is like a fart, firmly staring at Jiang Rin, and he has to come to Jiang Rin every once in a while to talk to cultivate feelings. Jiang Rin looked at the various news collected in his hand, and said casually: "Let him come in." β
"Oh......" Xiong Yishan agreed, and went out to open the door.
"Old Bear!" As soon as Bai Jingze saw Xiong Yishan, he punched him with a smile, but Xiong Yishan didn't move at all, but he rebounded himself and took two steps back.
The bear rolled his eyes like a bear with his face turned to the sky, Bai Jingze didn't care, and entered the study with a loud voice: "Brother Jiang!" If you want me to say that you should simply move to live with me, why do you want to live in this official house, not to mention the small place, and it is dilapidated, you see that the cracks in the stones in the yard are moss! If you don't want to live with me, I'll buy you another house. β
"I don't think there's anything wrong here." Jiang Rin just glanced up at him, and continued to look down at the official document in his hand.
Bai Jingze didn't feel that he was being treated coldly at all, and continued: "Brother Jiang, you said that you are a first-class and third-class Tanhualang, why do you want to serve in the Imperial City Division? Although the six grades are one grade higher than the editor, but that place is colder than the cold palace, what future can it have? If you enter the Hanlin Academy and stay in that noble place for a few years, with your ability, you may be able to enter the six departments and become a waiter in three or five years! β
Jiang Rin glanced up at him, "Oh? Do you think Rokubu is a good place? β
"That's not ......" Bai Jingze obviously doesn't like the twists and turns in the officialdom, otherwise he wouldn't stay in Wangjiang Tower all day. To be honest, the six parts are really not interesting, and they are very boring...... But the reputation of the Imperial City Division is too stinky......"
