Chapter 005: The Qian Family Seeks Talent

Fuyuan Inn sits on a three-storey building facing north and south. Surrounded by green trees, just like Shen Pinglun, it is quiet and elegant. This also made Qin Xuan have a better impression of Shen Pinglun. The inn is inhabited by some literati in the past, listening to Shen Pinglun said, the innkeeper Ma Yingshan is very fond of literati, and he did not hesitate to open this inn at the expense of gold and silver, and this matter spread throughout Xuzhou. Literati and elegant guests from all over Xuzhou often gather here, drinking and poetry, which is a major feature of Guangling.

Qin Xuan and the three of them lived on the second floor, and when they opened the window, they could see the backyard of a family. Jiamu is lush and shallots, refreshing and pleasant. When he had nothing to do, Qin Xuan recalled the Song family's poisoning case: he died of arsenic, but half a day later; Worship the son and brother to poison people, but why. Qin Xuan felt that this matter was unreasonable, a little strange, but he had no clue. "Uncle, what do you think of what you heard today, the Song family's poison case?"

"People in the world, for the sake of fame, profit, affection, and resentment, there are many things that harm others for various reasons, and it is not strange to see too much." Zhang Lao Xu was used to seeing the hot and cold world, and replied without being salty.

Qin Xuan frowned slightly. Could it be that I am thinking too much, and Qian Ruhai is the murderer? Xiao Rui'er on the side, in the end, has little experience, and said innocently: "Uncle, the sworn brother must have deep feelings, how can he commit murder?" Maybe Song Liang was unintentionally poisoned, or the lobster itself was poisonous. ”

Lobsters themselves are poisonous? That's right, didn't the news of later generations say that a woman died unintentionally after eating lobster and taking vitamin C. Isn't the lobster and vitamin C reaction exactly that arsenic? Song Liang is pregnant, if he is a boy, a sour and spicy girl, and the vitamin C content in sour fruits is high. It must be like this, Song Liang died of arsenic produced by lobster and vitamin C, and Qian Ruhai must be innocent. After figuring out the key, Qin Xuan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Uncle, I know, that Qian Ruhai is not a murderer. Or that there is no murderer, then Song Liang just died unintentionally. ”

"Oh? Died unintentionally? Zhang Lao said in surprise.

Qin Xuan lied that it was recorded in ancient books that lobsters and sour fruits would produce highly toxic arsenic. Zhang Lao was dumbfounded: "There are still such sayings? ”

"Well, it's a pity that such books are not known, otherwise the Song Liang family would not be like this."

"Zhihao, since you know the reason, why don't you go and help the Qian family clear their grievances, and it can be regarded as a good deed." Zhang Lao always has a kind heart, he saved Qin Xuan before, and this time he persuaded Qin Xuan to avenge others.

Although Qin Xuan is not as good as Zhang Lao Bodhisattva's heart, he also has a sense of justice. "If my uncle doesn't say it, I'll do it."

At noon the next day, Qin Xuan and the three of them were eating wine and food in the house, when they heard the voice of the second child in the shop outside the door. "Childe, then Miss Qian summoned all the talents in the store and said that she was looking for a virtuous person to ask for help, do you want to go down and listen to it?"

Oh? This Miss Qian must be for that drug case. Let's see that I showed my skills, put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied: "Got it!" I'll go later. ”

"Zhihao, since the young lady of the Qian family is looking for help, you must do your best." Zhang Lao wanted Qin Xuan to come forward to explain, and it was best for Miss Qian to come this time.

"Got it, uncle, I'll go downstairs."

Qin Xuan walked down the stairs and sat down at a table nearby. looked up at the so-called Miss Qian, dressed in a blue long skirt, covered with a layer of light yarn, with her sideburns and hair floating down, her jade face, bright eyes and bright teeth, sitting uprightly on the side. Qin Xuan was a little distracted, she was really an out-and-out beauty, and she did not show weakness compared to those stars in later generations.

Just as she was out of her mind, Miss Qian got up, bowed her head and squatted slightly to salute everyone, and said earnestly: "This time the Song family had an accident, my brother was suspected, and all kinds of evidence pointed directly to my brother. However, the brother has always been benevolent and righteous, filial to his mother internally, and kind to others externally, and gets along well with Song Yimin's eldest brother, so he will not be the one who poisoned him. "The words are full of affection, and the eyebrows are even more tearful." Today, Ruyu came here to seek talent on the order of her mother, if you can find out the truth and help your brother to redress her grievances, Ruyu will serve as a slave and a maid for a lifetime. ”

The literati whispered and exchanged ears, but no one stood up to answer. Seeing this, Qian Ruyu couldn't suppress the tears in her eyes, her whole body twitched, and she bit her lip to look at everyone. "You are all talented people who have read poetry and books to distinguish between right and wrong, don't you also think that my brother is the murderer? Could it be that no one can understand the truth and return the innocence of my brother? In addition to the excitement, two lines of crystal tears drooped.

"Miss Qian, I'm ashamed to say it, like Brother Hai's person, I have heard of it below, and I don't think it will be the one who poisoned it. What can I do, this investigation should be an official matter, and I have no right to interfere! However, I will inform my father in the future, and my father will definitely investigate the case carefully. "The one who spoke was a young man, with a brocade robe, a slender figure, shaved eyebrows, and a beautiful son.

Qian Ruyu's personal maid stepped forward, pointed at the young man, and burst out: "Okay, you Zhu Hongwen, don't intervene if you are incompetent, my young lady is seeking talent this time, you are obstructing it in every possible way, do you want to wait for my master to be killed, my young lady has no support, hello Kaicha covets my young lady." ”

Before the little maid could speak, Qian Ruyu behind her scolded: "Huan'er, Hugh is rude!" ”

"But ......" Huan'er lowered her head aggrievedly, her hands hanging in front of her, and kept rubbing.

Qian Ruyu stepped forward to apologize to Zhu Hongwen and said, "Master Zhu, please don't be surprised, Ruyu has no way to discipline you." ”

"Miss Qian is serious! I have always been infatuated with Miss Qian, if I can, how can I not lend a hand? Zhu Hongwen looked at Qian Ruyu with squinting eyes, and his greed was overflowing.

Qin Xuan, who was sitting on the side, was also very unkind to Zhu Hongwen, and suddenly said: "Miss Qian, I'm willing to give it a try!" ”

Hearing this, Qian Ruyu turned to Qin Xuan in surprise. The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified. Although the robe is a little shabby, it still can't hide the confident temperament, but the hair is a little weird. Qian Ruyu didn't care about the weird hair at the moment, she was just excited, and finally someone was willing to help. "This son, if he can save his brother, Ruyu's words will definitely count."

"It's not that I'm greedy for Miss's beauty, and it's not yet known whether I can help Brother Ling this time." Don't talk about it, don't do things, Qin Xuan still knows.

"Childe Gaofeng, I don't know what Childe is called?" Qian Ruyu said in her heart: If you speak in an orderly manner and look calm, you must be a talented person. In an instant, his affection for Qin Xuan doubled.

"Under Qin Xuan, Qin Zhihao!" Qin Xuan raised his hand and said without surprise.

"Since Gongzi Qin is willing to help the Qian family, it is better to go back to the house with Ruyu. Ruyu can also tell the matter in detail. ”

"It's okay, stay in the next Ming family, and then go with the young lady." In line with the idea of saving if you can save and going to the Qian family to eat and live for free, Qin Xuan agreed to come down.

After Qin Xuan and the others left, the talented people in the inn began to talk again.

"That weird Qin Xuan actually dares to meddle in the affairs of the yamen!"

"Hmph, that guy is delusional, the person who investigates the case has his own government, he Qin Xuan is something, but he just went to the Qian family to eat and drink!" Zhu Hongwen was angry about Qin Xuan's approach to Qian Ruyu, and even looked down on Qin Xuan, who was dressed in shabby.

The other literati were silent, and they all sneered at Zhu Hongwen in their hearts: It's not that your Lao Tzu is incompetent, nine out of ten cases are wronged, or why did the Qian family come to seek talent!

The Qian family has been in business for generations and has a lot of family resources. The Qian family's mansion, the high-walled compound, and the Zhumen on one side show the style of a mansion. Two majestic stone lions stand on both sides in front of the door, and there are two big characters "Qian Fu" on the plaque in the middle of the Zhu Gate, which are vigorous and powerful, and appear magnificent.

Walking through the gatehouse, the bluestone brick-paved passage goes straight to the main house, and the left and right wings are divided into things. Qian Ruyu directly led Qin Xuan and the three of them to the west wing. Xiao Rui'er had never seen such a mansion, looked around, dragged Qin Xuan and asked, "Uncle, this yard is so big and beautiful!" When will we have it? ”

Qin Xuan touched Xiao Rui'er's head, smiled and said, "When we get to Kyoto, we will set up a courtyard that is even more gorgeous and atmospheric than this." ”

Huan'er on the side listened to it and smiled. "Gongzi Qin is really ashamed, our Qian family's mansion costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Looking at the appearance of the childe, isn't it bragging! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he didn't get angry, he didn't care, he squatted down and looked at Xiao Rui'er and said, "Rui'er, uncle will teach you one more sentence: I'd rather bully the white bearded man, don't bully the young and poor, and there must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, and I don't believe in the pants and the hole." It means that it is better to look down on the white-headed old man who has no money than to look down on the poor young man, because the future of young people is limitless, and if young people work hard, sooner or later they will soar, and they will not always wear pants with holes all their lives. Remember, you can look at things and see less, and look at people not about rich and poor. ”

Huan'er heard the meaning of Qin Xuan's words, her face gradually became gloomy, and she glared at Qin Xuan with a pout. Qian Ruyu, who was originally going to reprimand Huan'er, kept chanting in her mouth: "I'd rather bully the white beard than the poor youth", "You can look at Weng Shao when you talk about things, and don't talk about the rich and poor when you look at people." The eyes that looked at Qin Xuan were a little more appreciative, and his confidence in Qin Xuan also increased a lot. "Qin Gongzi, I don't know how sure you are to get my brother out of trouble this time?"

"The ins and outs of the matter are not very clear, I'm afraid it is impossible to estimate!" Qin Xuan regained his gentle expression and said without hurrying. "But there are a few suspicious things to verify."

"Oh? I wonder what Childe thinks is suspicious? ”

"First of all, Brother Ling and Song Yimin were originally sworn brothers, and there was no motive for poisoning; Secondly, Song Yimin's lobster taking came suddenly, how could Brother Ling know it in advance; Moreover, Song Liang's poison died half a day after eating the lobster, which is contrary to the toxicity of arsenic. ”

After listening to Qin Xuan's methodical answer, Qian Ruyu still had a worried expression, and said gloomily: "I hope that my brother can turn evil into good luck this time!" ”

Seeing the melancholy look on Qian Ruyu's face, Qin Xuan comforted: "Miss Qian doesn't have to be like this, I believe that the person who was detained by the government this time is not Brother Ling. The chef of the Song family, the personal maid of the Song Liang family, the procurement office of the Zunfu and the person who sold the shrimp were also put in the cage. Counting, Brother Ling is the least suspicious. ”

"The son doesn't know, the Song Liang family's personal maid Xiaocui insisted that it was instructed by his brother, and the government also found a bag of arsenic in Xiaocui's room." Qian Ruyu listened to Qin Xuan's words, and expected that Qin Xuan would also know about the part of the market that was circulating about this matter, and hurriedly said.
