After returning home, Lin Jinxiu told Huai Yanqing the content of his investigation today.

"It seems that things are going well on the shopkeeper's side." Huai Yanqing put a paper bag in his hand in front of Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu reached out to take it and found that it was actually half a bag of heavy dragon whisker crisp.

"Did you send my brother to buy it again?" Lin Jinxiu smiled and took out a ball of dragon whisker crisp and put it in his mouth, waiting for it to melt sweetly in his mouth.

"I'll do it myself." Huai Yanqing sat next to Lin Jinxiu and watched her dangling her legs like a child eating candy.

Hearing that Huai Yanqing was going by herself, Lin Jinxiu raised her eyebrows slightly: "The prince went to the street to buy food by himself?" ”

"Isn't this king originally here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Huai Yanqing seemed to be addicted to being a prince, and what he said was the title of "this king".

However, he said that this self-claim was not very inconsistent, and Lin Jinxiu often laughed twice when he heard it.

During this time, the two of them were very busy, unlike when they stayed together all the time in the splendid world.

Like a modern office worker, two people have their own jobs during the day and have their own time until the evening, which makes the relationship between the two people seem precious.

Qin Shuyao, who understands the person, will not bother them at all at this time, anyway, it is no problem for exchanging information with Lin Jinxiu and being relayed by Huai Yanqing on his behalf.

"Mother, mother...... Father......! Lele was already able to run steadily, and the words that came out of his mouth were much clearer.

In Uncle Chen's correct teaching, Xiao Lele can also correctly pronounce the two sounds of "father" and "mother", but he has not forgotten his parents who have learned it.

This child is naturally intelligent, knows when to laugh, when to cry, and knows how to make the adults around him happy, and seems to know very well who he should rely on the most, who is the best person for him.

Seeing Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing sitting together, Lele, who had been waiting all day, finally looked forward to their return, opened his little arms and rushed towards the two of them, and immediately hugged Lin Jinxiu's legs.

Lele has grown up, and the emotions on his face are richer.

There were joys, sorrows, and sorrows in his eyes, and there were things he liked, which was more likable than the original small ball.

"Come, baby!" Lin Jinxiu picked up Lele and put it on his lap.

Although Lin Jinxiu is not the child's mother in her core, she has no lot of love for this child.

Although she is mature and calm, she is still a gentle person all in all.

Whether it is Xiao Lele or the people around her, as long as they are on her side, she will treat them with the greatest kindness.

Xiao Lele sat on Lin Jinxiu's lap, but his hands were not idle, he had to grab Huai Yanqing's clothes, and the dependence on the two of them would be understood by a clear-eyed person at a glance.

"Mother, Huahua!" Lele took out a small flower that had been crumpled from his pocket, pink petals, hanging on the green stems and leaves, looking miserable.

Obviously, this little baby had already picked this flower and put it in her pocket but did not protect it, but she was eager to wait for her mother to come back and give her Huahua.

Lin Jinxiu naturally would not refute the child's happiness: "Thank you Lele, Huahua is for my mother." ”

As she spoke, she pinned the small flower that had become a ball above Huai Yanqing's ear, and then said to Lele: "Look how good your godfather looks like this." ”

Huai Yanqing couldn't cry or laugh, but seeing the child's happy clapping, he didn't take the flower down.

The two took Lele to greet each other for a while, exchanging information on each other

Lin Jinxiu told Huai Yanqing about Chen Hongyi, which caused Huai Yanqing's head to be full of question marks.

"Either a poor guy driven crazy by his family, or a hot-headed bastard."

This is Huai Yanqing's final summary, but he also agreed to help Lin Jinxiu collect information about Chen Hongyi, after all, he is a strong opponent for Lin Jinxiu in the next competition.

When the two were in a hurry to chat, Xiao Lele sat on Lin Jinxiu's lap, quietly playing with the little stone that he didn't know where to find it, occasionally changing his posture slightly, and he was very well-behaved.

"Go to bed early." The two talked until the night was thick and it was time to rest.

Huai Yanqing reached out and took Lele out of Lin Jinxiu's arms and sent her to her room.

Lele was already asleep, with long eyelashes and a fleshy little face, tilting his head, opening his mouth, and smacking twice from time to time.

"Look at this stupidity." Lin Jinxiu couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little guy's face, the meat was soft and tender, Lin Jinxiu didn't dare to use force, and gently pinched it, and the feel was not much different from jelly.

Huai Yanqing put his hand around the back of Lele's head: "Yes, stupid, just like his mother." ”

Lin Jinxiu: ????

"Yanqing, you haven't been beaten for three days, it's been three days."

Huai Yanqing hugged Lele and ran out.

The next day, Lin Jinxiu went to learn art, Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao, two men, went to the county government to handle the case, went out and walked in the carriage, and put Lin Jinxiu down at the corner, and the carriage rushed in the direction of the yamen.

Lin Jinxiu greeted the two of them before carrying a cloth bag similar to a canvas bag that she had sewn on her back and walked towards the academy, but she didn't notice that since she got out of the carriage, there was a gaze that had been staring at him.

……

In the yamen, Qin Shuyao is making the "final" handling of the case.

All the clerical masters have been sorted out, and they have also informed Master Yan that they have found the murderer of his son.

Seeing Master Yan snorting and thanking him with tears, Qin Shuyao and Huai Yanqing glanced at each other, and always felt very strange.

Although Master Yan's reaction is understandable, it is ......

In such a prominent family, it stands to reason that the heir of the family died at the hands of an ordinary squire, and it is always a little angry.

"Master Yan doesn't seem to be angry at all." Qin Shuyao said to Huai Yanqing after Master Yan left.

Huai Yanqing naturally noticed this matter, and looking at the direction in which Master Yan left, he nodded lightly:

"Although Master Yan has been saying how much he loves his son, and he told Da Si Nong as soon as his son had an accident, but ......"

I always feel that there is something in Master Yan that they have ignored.

"Is there anyone else around Master Yan?" Huai Yanqing asked Qin Shuyao.

Qin Shuyao replied: "There is also Yan Shao's cousin, Yan Rufeng. ”

"Yan Shao's cousin's parents died when he was a child, and he has been living by Yan Shao's side since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good, after hearing that Yan Shao died, he locked himself in the door, and it seems that he hasn't gone out for many days."

The brothers who have lived together since childhood suddenly died inexplicably, and it is also deserving to be sad.

Huai Yanqing nodded in understanding, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the back hall: "Have you made the necessary preparations tonight?" ”

Qin Shuyao asked rhetorically, "Prepare?" What preparation? ”

The corners of Huai Yanqing's mouth twitched: "Didn't you say that you wanted to surprise her?" ”

"The prince is really interested." Qin Shuyao was happy, "It's been prepared for a long time, just wait for the prince to give an order." ”

"But it's not kind for the prince to throw me here."

Qin Shuyao's reaction to pretending to be stupid means that the wall has ears, Huai Yanqing is not stupid, and directly shifted the topic to another place, anyway, he is also an idle prince, and it is understandable to say this now.

As for the truth of the matter, only the two of them know.

Tonight is where the next plan begins.

Yesterday, Huai Yanqing had already given Lin Jinxiu a check, and in the evening, he remembered to help them pick up the people who came to the Qin Mansion with Uncle Chen, and then help him bandage his wounds, and ask for something by the way.

Lin Jinxiu didn't hesitate to respond directly, she did things with Huai Yanqing, and they were relieved.

Throughout the day, Qin Shuyao wrote a letter of report to the imperial court in the capital, reporting the false appearance of the matter, and Huai Yanqing also wrote a letter in his own name, wrote the truth, and sent one of his secret guards to send it out.

A few days later, when the people in the capital received the news that the case had been solved, they all comforted Da Si Nong, saying that there was no way for this kind of thing to happen at home, but to mourn and change, and the emperor also praised Qin Shuyao's punctuality.

However, just after retreating, after the man in the black and gold dragon robe walked back to his imperial study, a thin and unsmiling secret guard came down from the beam of the room, and put a letter in his hand on the table of the man in the dragon robe.

After the letter was put down, the Dark Guard disappeared again without a sound, returning to where he was supposed to be.

The man sitting at the desk stretched out his hand and waved away the maid beside him, opened the envelope, and looked at it, and the already somewhat tall eyebrows began to slowly lock.

"I'm glad you're here." There was no one around, and the man, after igniting the letter on the candlestick, threw it into the brazier, and slowly watched it turn to ashes.

"I hope you won't let me down."

……

Huai Yanqing, who sent the letter, had no more scruples, anyway, after reporting the truth of the matter, the two of them seemed to have a backer behind them, and they were no longer as trembling as before.

It wasn't until midnight that the two swaggered back to the Qin Mansion, but in fact, the two had already changed their clothes and turned around and returned to the mansion.

The door of the prison was wide open, and the guards inside had already untied the shackles on their hands and put them on their own hands.

Seeing Qin Shuyao and the others appear, he smiled slightly: "I thought that Lord Qin's words didn't count, and he planned to sacrifice me." ”

Qin Shuyao was dressed in black, with a serious expression: "This official never lies. ”

As he spoke, the attendant set off at the same time as Qin Shuyao, one of them opened the cage, and the other took his wrist out of the shackles, and left a very obvious lock-picking tool on the ground.

Originally, he had opened the lock himself, but he didn't need to disguise it anymore.

That person was not lightly injured, obviously he had endured a lot of torture in the past two days, and now he was hanging on Qin Shuyao's body, his eyes were full of hatred.

"My lord, you must help me find the real culprit." He lowered his voice and said to Qin Shuyao, "As long as you can wash away your grievances for me, even if you are a cow or a horse villain, you are willing!" ”
