Gu Jin sat on a walk, went to see it, and heard the imperial doctor say that the pulse was stable, and it must be fine, so he was a little relieved, went out of the palace gate, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and felt one after another in his heart, all of which were the urge to smash things and scold people.

Ah Yue followed her out twice, the first time I heard her shrew scolding, and the second time Ah Yue was really drunk!

Ah Yue has grown so big, this is the first time she has been drunk, she rarely drinks alcohol, and the so-called drunkenness in the past is just one or two more drinks!

Feeling Gu Jin's irritability, from the breeze to the middle-aged waiter who was holding his breath.

Gu Jin returned to Ming'an Palace with an unsteady breath, sat on the couch in the side hall, rubbed his face vigorously, and vigorously suppressed the urge to smash things and curse.

Let's talk about it tomorrow, wait for Ah Yue to wake up, it's not too late to talk about this tomorrow!

He's in a grumpy state at the moment, and it's not appropriate to make any decisions.

……………………

The next day, after the morning court was dispersed, Gu Jin signaled Gu Xi and entered the Ming'an Palace together.

Without waiting to speak, Gu Jin saw a worried look of Princess Ning He standing under the corridor of the side hall.

"The wine is over? Does the headache hurt? Gu Xi saw Princess Ning He earlier, and asked with concern from a distance.

"I'm fine." Princess Ning He lifted her skirt and took a few steps to meet her, answering Gu Xi's words, but she looked at Gu Jin with a cautious face, "I didn't drink much yesterday, I was a little tired, so I fell asleep." ”

"Not only drunk, but also learned to talk nonsense." Gu Jin frowned.

"Not really." Princess Ning He's voice was even quieter.

"What was the drink yesterday? You've never been a drinker. Gu Xi asked, but he was also at a fork.

"It's said that it's Qingfeng Lou's peach blossom wine, like honey water, I thought, about, it's just a soup like wine." Ning and the princess said a few words of shortness of breath and weakness.

After she drank it, she was already dizzy, but she felt more and more that the peach blossom wine was so delicious.

"Yo!" Gu Xi's eyebrows raised, and he sighed first, "Qingfeng Lou's peach blossom wine is like honey, but the stamina is very big, you drink this wine, Miss Li didn't see it?" ”

"It was given to me by Miss Li, about, she doesn't know, she definitely doesn't know, she doesn't like to drink peach blossom wine, she drinks jade spirit." Ning He carefully covered up for Li Sangrou while aiming at Gu Jin.

"She knows for sure, and she loves to drink peach blossom wine.

Don't be afraid, if you're drunk, you'll be drunk, I've been drunk, my eldest brother has been drunk, it's nothing.

Does your head still hurt? It's still uncomfortable, isn't it? Gu Xi patted Gu Jin gently.

"It doesn't hurt or hurt." Princess Ning He looked at Gu Jin again.

"You see you scared Ah Yue." Gu Xi simply looked at Gu Jin and said straightforwardly.

"When you go out drinking, you can get drunk like that for the first time......"

"Isn't it the first time, that's the case, you'll know later, at least you know your own amount, right? Surely you won't get drunk like this in the future, will you? Gu Xi tinin and explained.

Princess Ning He nodded hurriedly.

"Ugh." Gu Jin wrinkled his eyebrows and sighed.

"Then Ah Yue, don't drink in the future, and don't go out more." Gu Xi turned around, and Chong Ning and the princess blinked.

"Well, I won't go out in the future, and I won't pay attention to Miss Li." Princess Ning and Princess hurriedly picked up Gu Xi's words.

"It's not that you won't be allowed to go out, and it's not that you won't be allowed to go out with Miss Li. Alas! Gu Jin sighed again.

"Look at you, since we came in, your face has never been sunny,

Look at what you scared Ah Yue into, Ah Yue has always been obedient, if you think something is wrong, confess, when did Ah Yue disobey? Gu Xi complained to Gu Jin.

"It's not because of Ah Yue." Gu Jin sighed again, "Alas, it's okay, let's not talk about this."

It's okay if you've been drunk once, as your third brother said, at least you know your own amount.

Remember, when you drink, you have to do what you can, and you have to do everything else you can.

We can't be like yesterday, drunk and unconscious, drunk and hurting our bodies, and it is easy to have accidents. Gu Jin looked at Princess Ning He and confessed solemnly.

Princess Ning He kept nodding.

"I drank just yesterday, what was the excitement at the literary meeting, I'm afraid I don't remember it, right?" Although Gu Jin still wanted to sigh, he held back and smiled.

"Remember, remember!" Ning and Princess Ding Dong laughed, she had to hurry up and show that she was really sober yesterday.

"Yesterday, Qu Shui Liuyu invited Zhou Laoshangshu to comment.

The seventh prince said that since the death of the little concubine beside Zhou Laoshangshu, Zhou Laoshangshu has never written good poems and words, saying that even his ability to comment on poetry and articles is much worse. Said he really shouldn't have invited him yesterday.

The seventh prince also said that he didn't say this, but his third brother.

The seventh prince also told us that he was not allowed to say these things outside, let alone say that it was his third brother, otherwise his third brother would have to beat him again. ”

Princess Ning spoke quickly, talking and laughing.

Gu Xi's eyebrows were raised when he heard this, and Gu Jin was a little stunned, what are these words? What is a little concubine?

"Also, Tian Shiyi said that Ma Dalang, who is Ma Hanlin's eldest grandson, said that he was actually very short, and said that Ma Dalang looked tall, and that was because Ma Dalang's shoes had such high soles!"

Princess Ning and Princess held her thumb and index finger hard, gesturing so high.

"The black horse said that Tian Shiyi was talking nonsense, saying that the soles of shoes were so high, it was not a stilt step, saying that it was difficult to step on stilts, and that you nobles would definitely not be able to step on it.

Tian Shiyi quarreled with the black horse, and the two made a bet, Tian Shiyi said that he was going to steal a pair of Ma Dalang's shoes, and if the soles were less than three inches, he would frog and jump ten times outside the Donghua Gate.

If it is higher than three inches, the black horse jumps ten times.

I bet on the dark horse, and Miss Li bet on Tian Shiyi. ”

The more Ning and Princess spoke, the more interested they became, and their eyes sparkled.

Gu Jin was dumbfounded, Gu Xi couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed.

"You drank too much yesterday, you shouldn't have gotten up so early today, go back and rest, and let the Imperial Doctor go to check your pulse in a while." Gu Xi hurriedly patted Princess Ning He, and smiled and motioned for her to go back and rest.

"Well, then I'll go back first. Third brother," Princess Ning agreed happily, turned around, gently pulled Gu Xi, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what a slingshot is?" ”

"Yes, how do you know this?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yesterday Miss Li smashed the butterfly with a small stone, and it was accurate, and she said that I could find a slingshot to practice, and it was easy. Would you like to have someone find me one? Princess Ning and Princess looked eager to try.

Gu Xi's two eyebrows were raised, and while pushing Princess Ning He out, he suppressed his voice and said: "I'll see if I can find it first, that thing is not easy to find, if you find it, let Zhihe send it to you, and teach you how to use it by the way." ”

"Good!" Ning and Princess Ning have a high tail voice, and they sound very pleasant.

Gu Xi stood under the porch, watched Princess Ning and Princess walk away, and turned back.

"I really have to think about it, is it appropriate for Ah Yue to go out with Li Da's family." Gu Jin rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and weakly.

"What's wrong? Ah Yue is so happy, I have never seen her so happy in so many years, and it is not a big deal, isn't it just that she drank a little more, which is not a big mistake. Gu Xi clearly objected.

Ah Yue's eyes were shining and she looked so happy, only when she was very young.

Gu Jin stopped talking, was silent for a long time, and sighed lowly, "You have to think about it, Ah Yue is so happy because of that wantonness." ”

Gu Xi's eyebrows raised, Gu Jin leaned back, and looked at Gu Xi, "Forget it, if you think it's suitable, it's suitable." It's just that if Ah Yue wants to be wanton, we have to do our best to move forward.

The second child's family affairs can't all be left to them, I still think that this rear position, Miss Shen is the most suitable, she is smart enough, she has to push her to a sufficient position, Yongping Hou is in the family, and there must be a smart enough person to lead it, so that it can look like you are evenly matched.

You personally arrange this matter, so that Shen He can understand enough: Shen Lady is the queen, and it is most beneficial for their Shen family, let them persuade Shen Niangniang, no matter what method they use. ”

"Good!" Gu Xi agreed neatly.

"Miss Shen......" Gu Jin looked at Gu Xi, halfway through her words, but didn't go on.

"What's wrong with Miss Shen?" Gu Xi waited for a while, and when he saw that Gu Jin only looked at him and didn't speak, he couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing." Gu Jin sighed as if she didn't have any, "You go to Master Li and tell her that Ah Yue is different from her, Ah Yue is the most ordinary woman in the world." Tell her that this sentence is what I asked you to remind her. ”

"Okay." Gu Xi responded simply.

Seeing Gu Xi walk out of the palace gate, Gu Jin sighed.

The person that Miss Shen wants to marry is not the second child, but his younger brother.

Approximately, Miss Shen has persuaded Shen Niangniang that if the two are happy, it can be fulfilled, but unfortunately, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.

Miss Shen still marries the second child, which is more beneficial to them and the overall situation.

……………………

From the Chinese New Year to April, the pair of Nie Pozi and Zou Wang became busier and busier.

The two people, from Jianle City to the four prefectures and 16 counties of Wuwei Prefecture, quickly took over the state capital and county from Wuwei Mansion to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Jianle City.

However, in two or three months, Zou Wang's temperament has changed greatly, he is modest and confident, and he has already bought two small servants to take with him, and he has been in and out of the official mansions of various chambers of commerce, and his manners are moderate and very decent.

Nie Pozi is changing in the other direction.

The person has lost a whole circle, but he looks much younger, the car is still the same car, and he has changed two big green mules that are not much shorter than horses, and he walks the mule to pull the cart, and when he doesn't go, he is either trotting or running.

Nie Pozi also walked all the way at a trot, and when people passed by, there was a gust of wind.

I can't help it, I'm too busy.

……………………

Just a few days after entering April, Li Sangrou received the first highest-level urgent letter from Shunfeng Express.

The letter was written by Zou Wang.

Sister-in-law Qi, the shopkeeper of the delivery shop in Linli County, Suzhou, died, and as soon as he arrived in Linli County, he felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this matter.

After reading the letter, Li Sangrou immediately ordered the black horse to go back and pack a few clothes, bring some dry food, and let the golden retriever go to invite Lu Hepeng, pick eight horses, and set off immediately to Linli County.

More than 600 miles from Jianle City to Linzhuo, Li Sangrou received the letter in the evening, and the group galloped all the way, and when they arrived in Bozhou, they put down the eight horses they brought with them, and then replaced them with eight healthy horses, and then hurried away.

As soon as the sky was white, Li Sangrou and his entourage rushed to the delivery shop of Fuli Mansion in Suzhou.

Zou Wang was not in the delivery shop, Li Sangrou and the four of them hurriedly washed, changed into clean clothes, ate something, and went straight to Linli County.

Before the rider arrived in Linjian County, Li Sangrou and others had already rushed to the delivery shop.

The hand-shop groom who came to replace him temporarily had just removed the door panel, was sweeping the floor, saw the black horse, hurriedly put down the broom and stepped forward, the person did not approach, first pointed to the direction of Qi's sister-in-law's house, "Zou Da shopkeeper is watching it at Qi's house, Ma Ye go and see, alas, it's really miserable." ”

The black horse and the golden retriever handed the horse to the groom, and the black horse rushed to the front in a few steps, leading everyone to Qi's sister-in-law's house.

Qi's sister-in-law's house is not close to the delivery shop, and the surroundings are remote and dirty.

Sister-in-law Qi's house hung a white cloth on the door, the miserable white lantern was still lit by candlelight, and a little girl in plain clothes at the door was burning paper money. Ma Ye is here! Ma Ye is here! ”

Zou Wang ran out of the courtyard gate.

"The big boss, Master Mao, Master Ma, Mr. Lu." Zou Wang saw it very quickly, looked at Li Sangrou, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but choked, "Big ...... Let's get inside first. ”

Li Sangrou strode into the courtyard.

The yard is dilapidated but clean, and there is a jujube tree at the entrance of the east wing, with green leaves and small jujubes.

In the dilapidated main house, the two doors have been removed, and in the center is a black lacquered coffin of excellent texture, and on the offering table in front of the coffin, white candles are lit, and flowers and fruits are offered.

In front of the coffin, on a large thick and soft cushion, a thin girl of six or seven years old, dressed in linen and filial piety, sat on the cushion like a wooden chicken.

Li Sangrou came in, squatted beside her first, called her, reached out to touch her, and picked her up, but she didn't realize it.

Li Sangrou burst into tears, gently put down the little girl, and motioned to the golden retriever, "Come over and talk to her." ”

Li Sangrou put on the incense, came out, and looked at Zou Wang, "What's the matter?" ”

"I received a letter around noon the day before yesterday, saying that the delivery shop in Linli was not open.

Coincidentally, I was in Fuli Mansion at the time, and I immediately rushed over, found here, and there was no one at home, so I asked the neighbors, saying that the day before, Qiao's sister-in-law took her daughter, and went to the shop at dawn, and never came back.

I was scared when I heard it.

There are not many letters in Linli County, ten and eight letters a day, and there are only a dozen or twenty letters a day, and there are not many sent out.

Sister-in-law Qiao told me that she didn't look for someone to deliver the letter first, and in the first half of the day, she received the morning newspaper and evening newspaper in the shop, and then sent it out, and then let her daughter Sister Guo look at the shop, and she finished delivering the letter in the city.

If there was a letter from outside the city, she would close the shop early in the second half of the day and take the fruit to deliver the letter.

There were not many letters outside the city, and they were not available every day.

I hurriedly went to the shop next door to ask, saying that it was Qiao's sister-in-law who was not closing the shop that day, and said hello to Aunt Liu, who sold roast chicken next to her, and asked her to leave half a roast chicken.

I immediately rushed to the delivery shop, checked the letter of that day, and there was only one outside the city, which was sent to the old man's house in Shui Town, and I immediately rushed to Shui Town, and before I entered Shui Town, I heard that there were dead people outside the town. ”

Zou Wang's throat choked for a while before he continued: "It's Sister-in-law Qiao, it's very miserable." At that time, I didn't see Sister Guo'er, Sister-in-law Qiao took Sister Guo out of the city together, so I hurried to look for it, Sister Guo was behind an old locust tree not far from Sister-in-law Qiao, and Sister-in-law Qiao's treacherous blanket was covered on her head.

When I found her, she was like this, and brought her back, and it has been like this until now.

How did Qiao's sister-in-law die, I'm afraid that she saw it, was scared, and lost her soul. ”

"Got the official?" Li Sangrou asked coldly.

"I reported, I made a few bends, had a little relationship with the county grain book, and sent ten taels of silver, and the county grain book took me to see Luo County Order.

Luo Xian Ling means that sister-in-law Qi, a woman, with her daughter, runs outside all day long, and it is a matter of time before she dies. Zou Wang's report directly understood.

"Luo Xian ordered this person to observe etiquette and Taoism, and he is extremely disgusted with women showing his head." Lu Hepeng answered.

The places where the Shunfeng Express line arrived, the officials everywhere, what their resumes were, and what their temperament was, he had already worked hard.

"Bai Liangshu also said so, I found Sister-in-law Qiao, came back with Sister Guo'er, and didn't dare to collect Sister-in-law Qiao's body first, and handed over the form first.

Luo Xianling didn't go to the scene, but only sent a small official to go over and see it with the pig killer in the east of the county.

I'll take Sister-in-law Qiao back first. ”

"Open the coffin, I want to see." Li Sangrou took a deep breath and motioned to the dark horse.

"I'm afraid that the big boss will take a look, and he hasn't nailed the coffin yet." Zou Wang was busy with the black horse and went into the house.

The golden retriever stood sideways in front of Sister Guo'er, Zou Wang and the black horse pushed open the heavy coffin lid one after the other, and Li Sangrou stepped on a stool and stretched out her head to look into the coffin.

Qiao's sister-in-law in the coffin is unrecognizable and almost inhuman.

Li Sangrou leaned in with half of her body, carefully lifted the shroud that could only be covered on it, and carefully looked at the tragic injuries on Qiao's sister-in-law.

She was beaten to death, and before she died, she was wantonly humiliated.

"I will definitely seek justice for you, that is, now, just these few days, you wait a while, see it, and then go to the dead.

Sister Guo, I raised it for you, don't worry. Li Sangrou's hand gently stroked Qiao's sister-in-law's face and said softly.
