In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, Qin Shuyao had privately investigated all the families in the entire state capital, and they all memorized them in his head, and he almost came to him when he needed it.

"I think we need to check if Yan Shao has had any conflicts with the people of the Jing family recently." Huai Yanqing proposed, "Whether it is the conflict between Yan Shao himself or the business conflict between the Yan family and the Jing family, it must be investigated." ”

The first thing is to investigate the Jing family in secret, but not let other people see it, which is a bit difficult in itself.

But fortunately, there are still Gu Zhongjing and Zhao Kang in the mansion to help.

Qin Shuyao sent Gu Zhongjing to Zhao Zhutou, saying that the governor wanted Zhao Kang to help with the errand, and asked him to place Zhao Kang's patrol route near the northwest of the city.

And this northwest neighborhood happened to be the boundary of the Jing family, Gu Zhongjing saw Zhao Kang and quietly explained the matter to him, but he also gave him a bag of money openly.

After Gu Zhongjing left, the catchers next to him all came over, looked at him and asked, "Brother Kang, what did Lord Qin send you to do?" ”

"Running errands." Zhao Kang replied, "I said that the prince just missed the dragon beard cake in the northwest of the city a little bit and wanted me to help buy it back." ”

The catcher next to him was a little curious: "Then why don't you send your own attendants, you want to send Brother Kang?" ”

"At that time, in Celadon County, I had been helping Lord Qin buy things." Zhao Kang began to make excuses casually and put this matter in the past.

"We know each other well, Lord Qin is reluctant to help him run errands when he is on duty."

By the way, he said Qin Shuyao's good words in front of them, and Zhao Kang can also be said to be very scheming.

Soon, the time for patrol came, Zhao Kang was equipped with a knife, and followed the large army out of the door, today's task was ostensibly patrolling, but he had a hidden mission.

Soon, they arrived in the northwest of the city, one person and one block, and their colleagues were very kind to leave the street with the dragon beard crisp shop to Zhao Kang, but they scattered in all directions.

Zhao Kangjiang looked around and found that everyone had dispersed, so he walked to the street.

Why is it a dragon beard crisp, this is a location that Qin Shuyao deliberately picked.

Because this dragon beard cake is very famous in the entire state capital, and its location is right near the gate of the Jing family's house.

There are many people here, and there is always a lot of news coming out of the crowd, and it is precisely because of being outside the Jing family that discussing the affairs of the Jing family has become the norm for customers here.

Qin Shuyao is also very aware of the various things under his jurisdiction.

Zhao Kang first quickly patrolled the street, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he went to line up at the stall of the dragon beard.

Although he was wearing an official uniform, he didn't care if anyone would gossip, anyway, he was just helping the prince bring something by the way.

When the boss of the dragon beard cake stall saw Zhao Kang, he came down and talked attentively: "Official, do you want to buy dragon beard cake?" ”

Zhao Kang didn't smile, but his expression was quite gentle: "Yes, buy dragon whisker cakes in the next generation of the state pastor."

"Official, just say it, and the grass people will give it to you!" When the boss heard that he bought it for Lord Zhoumu, he looked at Zhao Kang very flatteringly.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Kang raised his chin slightly, signaling the boss to go back to work, "Come first, come first, don't be in a hurry." ”

Seeing Zhao Kang so fair, the people around him were also quietly discussing:

"It's really worthy of being a person under Lord Qin."

"Yes, I've heard others say that they often encounter things like officials cutting in line and eating overlord meals, but this situation never appears under Lord Qin."

"Last time, there was a catcher who was overbearing in the name of Lord Qin, and was sued by a little girl in court, and the catcher was dismissed by Lord Qin in court, saying that the state government does not need such a catch!"

The sounds of praise around him were endless, but Zhao Kang was unmoved, he stood in place like a green pine, motionless like a mountain.

However, although Zhao Kang didn't move, he had already erected his ears at this time, absorbing all the information needed around him into his mind.

At the beginning of the tea time, everyone was nothing more than praising Lord Qin and the security of the state capital, and after a while, everyone's topic returned to the usual ones.

Maybe because of Zhao Kang's existence, their voices are much quieter, but for Zhao Kang, it is actually very easy to hear them speak.

There is too much trivial information, and Zhao Kang listens to it and sifts through it.

Two of the pieces of news caught Zhao Kang's attention.

There were two men who looked like two attendants, dressed in very ordinary cloth clothes, lined up in the dragon beard crisp line.

But the two of them didn't talk about things like two ordinary squires could know.

"I heard my young lady say today, the daughter of the salt merchant three streets away is surnamed Zhuang, and she obviously has a sweetheart, but she was forcibly married home as a concubine by Yan Shao of the Yan family, and she was so angry that she cried at home every day."

"Yan Shao? Is it the Yan Shao who died in the Tongque Terrace? ”

Tongquetai is a place to find flowers and willows, and it is impossible to hide anything that happens in Tongquetai, and someone will always reveal it.

Therefore, Yan Shao's death in Tongquetai is something that almost the entire state capital knows.

"That's right, it's the Yan Shao who died in Tongquetai! A month ago, the son-in-law who was not the Jing family also had a fight with Yan Shao, and it was said that it was still for a woman! ”

The son of the Jing family.

Although they have been talking about some things about the love of their children, they actually mentioned the conflict between the prince of the Jing family and Yan Shao, which may be of great help to Lord Qin and what they have investigated.

"According to what my young master said, Yan Shao deserves to die, doesn't it mean that your young lady has also been harassed by him?"

"That's right, I stepped forward to block it, and I was slapped twice by Yan Shao, which was very painful."

When he heard this, Zhao Kang had already come to the front of the stall, and the dragon whisker cake he wanted to order had already been made.

Because he is a fast catcher, he is the one who calls the official, so the boss of the dragon beard secretly filled the official with a little more, Zhao Kang didn't find out, just picked up the bag and said thank you to the boss, and turned to leave.

This Yan Shao is really a romantic person, but such an adjective is not a compliment.

This person is actually a person who only cares about his own preferences, regardless of identity, and likes to hurt women from good families, this is the kind of person that Zhao Kang despises the most.

The time was almost up, Zhao Kang returned to the team, and reported the patrol results as a result that everything was normal, and the dragon beard cake that Qin Shuyao brought had already been completed.

However, Zhao Kang thought that he hadn't heard enough news today, and if Lord Qin needed it in the future, it would be better for him to inquire a little more.

After Zhao Kang, who returned to the mansion, said hello to the captain, he personally went to Qin Shuyao with a paper bag.

Dangdang, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Qin Shuyao said please come in from inside.

"My lord, I'm back." Zhao Kang walked in and closed the door, and saw Qin Shuyao and Huai Yanqing, two young people, discussing something together, with food next to them, but it was obviously cold.

"Brother Zhao, I'm back." This Brother Zhao was called by them along with Lin Jinxiu, which can be regarded as being close to Zhao Kang and expressing closeness to Zhao Kang.

Zhao Kang put the bag in his hand on the desk, Huai Yanqing stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, it was a dragon beard crisp, snow-white and snow-white, and it was stained with powdered sugar, which was delicious to look at.

"Sure enough, it's the famous dragon whisker cake in the state capital." Huai Yanqing sighed, "I don't know if the shopkeeper will do it." ”

"The difficulty of the dragon whisker cake is very high, if you want to eat it, you can propose it to Miss Lin and see if she wants to learn it for you." Qin Shuyao took the dragon beard cake out of the paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhao Kang looked at the meal next to him that had become cold and said, "If you let Sister Xiu'er know that you haven't eaten at noon, you may be told by her." ”

"Brother Zhao." Speaking of eating, Qin Shuyao and Huai Yanqing both looked embarrassed, "You know, after getting used to eating the food made by Miss Lin, other dishes can only be said to be horse food." ”

Huai Yanqing also deliberately added: "And the dishes made by the chefs in this mansion are really unpalatable......

Zhao Kang smiled, he didn't expect Lin Jinxiu's constantly improving cooking skills to actually raise the mouths of both of them.

But he is not qualified to say this, because Lin Jinxiu always remembered their father and son after going out to learn art, and now Yu'er waits to eat Lin Jinxiu's meals every day after coming home from school.

Don't mention the food, it's sad to mention it.

Ay......

The three men began to turn the conversation to the case under investigation.

Zhao Kang didn't want to stay in Qin Shuyao's study for long, and after telling the news he heard, he left, and Qin Shuyao also gave him a few pieces of dragon whisker crisp and asked him to bring to his fast catching partners.

After Zhao Kang went out, Qin Shuyao looked at Huai Yanqing and said, "Originally, I thought that it should be a business person who attacked Yan Shao, but now it seems that his character is really not good." ”

Originally, Qin Shuyao's method of investigating Yan Shao's interpersonal relationship was mainly to ask his friends or people who had a relationship with him, but because everyone didn't want to have anything to do with the case, what they said was very pertinent, and the testimony did not involve Yan Shao's own preferences too much.

"The Yan family didn't tell me that he still had a marriage contract." Qin Shuyao shook his head, "It may be that the master of the Yan family doesn't want to admit this daughter-in-law." ”

"Do you know anything about the salt merchant surnamed Zhuang?" Huai Yanqing asked.

Qin Shuyao shook his head: "Because these small businesses can easily be investigated, I didn't deliberately remember anything about them. ”

It's no wonder that Master Yan doesn't look down on it, although the Yan family is in the cloth business, but in fact, there are still people in the family who are officials, and the salt merchant is just a small businessman.

Shinong industry and commerce are not false.

"Presumably, the young lady surnamed Zhuang is good-looking, so she was targeted by Yan Shao." Huai Yanqing judged, "First of all, you have to determine that girl's attitude towards Yan Shao. ”

"If that girl likes Yan Shao, it's probably not her, but if she hates Yan Shao very much, maybe she will have to be regarded as one of the suspects for the time being."

But now there is a question, who would be the right person to talk to this girl?

If Huai Yanqing and them were to talk, it might be counterproductive.
