Chapter 159: Resignation
Xiao Qian has been busy investigating the arson case for the past two days, according to the visit, the deceased Chi Liwen was a nerd, he knew how to read all day long, but his qualifications were mediocre, and he barely took the exam.
Chi Liwen's daughter-in-law is also a good person, quiet and delicate, rarely goes out, is a well-behaved woman, and the neighbors have a positive evaluation of her.
However, Chi Liwen has a strong mother who has quarreled with many neighbors.
But he and a group of brothers checked all the people who had been entangled with Chi Liwen's mother, and found nothing. The case is deadlocked.
On the way back to the mansion, Lu Zhaonan couldn't help but say: "I don't have a clue at all when I check and check, I can see that someone has been invited out of the mountain." ”
Xiao Qian glanced at him expressionlessly, too lazy to talk.
Who says no clue? After ruling out the possibility of vendetta murder and robbery, the most unlikely possibility is the truth.
"I said, Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this look? I don't seem to agree with what I'm saying. Lu Zhaonan Road.
"I know you're not convinced when I say that, someone is better than you, and you can't admit it." Lu Zhaonan continues to hit his friends, he can't be hit alone, right?
He thought that this case would be caught, but who knew that it would be so difficult, but he is still confused.
Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows disapprenorovingly, and when he saw a tavern in front of him, he said: "Everyone has been busy for most of the day, let's go to dinner first, I will treat you, but explain in advance that you are not allowed to drink." ”
It's not that he's stingy, the government has a rule that you are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty.
The group entered the tavern and sat down.
Lu Zhaonan ordered the food, and the food couldn't come up for a while, so everyone drank tea first.
Lu Zhaonan took a sip of the inferior tea made from broken tea leaves, and laughed bitterly at himself: "In the past, this kind of tea couldn't enter the mouth at all, but now it can still drink the fragrance of tea, it's a terrible thing to get used to." ”
Xiao Qian said lightly: "If you have been in the army, you will not have such a feeling, when you are marching and fighting, it is good to have rain to drink when you are thirsty, and to chew ice ballast." ”
"My father wants to throw me into the army every day for training, but my mother refuses, my father can't do it, and I can't do it." Lu Zhaonan sighed, he always heard Xiao Qian talk about what he had done in the army before, and he was itchy when he heard it, and he also wanted to feel the iron and blood in the army.
"If you have time to see more of the art of war, practice your fists and feet, you will go one day." Xiao Qian said.
The throne of Pingnan is hereditary, as long as King Pingnan does not rebel, Lu Zhaonan will inherit the throne sooner or later.
Lu Zhaonan wrinkled his nose: "My father is as strong as an ox, and he is still early to take over his shift!" ”
Lu Zhaonan sighed his helplessness, but Xiao Qian's attention was attracted by the conversation of a guest at a table on the side.
"Is it really that mysterious?"
"Isn't it? Do you think, didn't the marriage between Zhu Gongzi and Miss Lin of the Jin State Mansion finally fall through? Zhu Gongzi and even the Zhu family are disgraced, doesn't this confirm the saying that the husband and wife are in the palace? ”
"It seems that this is the case, so isn't the eldest lady of the Lin family unable to get married?"
"Who else dares to come to the door to ask for marriage, in case they end up as unlucky as the Zhu family...... Right? ”
"I heard that a while ago, the people who went to the Hou Mansion to talk about the matchmaker are about to break the threshold, and now the fragrant dumplings are going to turn into rotten eggs!"
Lu Zhaonan also heard it, and looked at his brother's face, his brother's face was a little ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, so tight that the joints were white, and he felt that he would jump up and beat people at any time.
Lu Zhaonan asked the person at the table: "The Miss Lin you are talking about is Miss Lin from the Ding'an Hou Mansion?" ”
The person at the table thought that Lu Zhaonan was as keen on gossip as they did, so he said, "Exactly." ”
"What's going on with the conjugal palace you are talking about?" Lu Zhaonan asked again.
"Haven't you heard of this official? It has been spread all over the capital, saying that the eldest lady of the Lin family has committed a crime in the husband and wife palace, and it is not appropriate to marry early, otherwise one will be ruined, and either the husband will die or the disaster will come. ”
With a "bang" sound, Xiao Qian slammed the table, and the peanuts in the bone plate on the table jumped out and rolled to the ground with a grunt.
Lu Zhaonan hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao, stop your anger." ”
Xiao Qian's face turned pale, and he got up and said, "I'll go first." ”
Lu Zhaonan knew that he was going to find Lin Yanyan: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”
"No, you don't." Xiao Qian strode away.
Lu Zhaonan turned his face and smiled at the stunned guests at the table: "He's not targeting you, he's in a hurry to investigate the case." ”
Only then did the guests at that table come back to their senses and continue to gossip.
Xiao Er came to serve the food: "Official, your braised pork, please use it slowly." ”
Lu Zhaonan looked at the braised pork, and suddenly remembered something, saying that Xiao Qian had a treat, but Xiao Qian left halfway, and he co-authored it again.
Yang Junjun was in the tearoom of Tongyuan Building at this time.
"Yan Yan, I dare to guarantee that my family will never spread the news, and I also asked Qian Yao a few of them, and they have repeatedly explained to their families that they are not allowed to spread the news."
Lin Yanyan looked at Jun Jun with an uneasy face apologetically, but she couldn't tell Jun that the news was spread by herself, just to understand the trouble of her relatives, otherwise Jun Jun would know that she had tricked them.
"Jun Xuan, can I still believe you? It's okay, just pass it on, after all, it's a fact, and I don't want to hurt people. ”
"However, this will be bad for you, do you know that on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubine Niangniang is going to banquet several young ladies from the prince's family and the minister's family, with the intention of choosing concubines for several princes, Qian Yao and Zhihan have received invitations, and you should have received it, but have you received it?"
Lin Yanyan was stunned, what? Is the palace going to choose a concubine for the prince? Does it include Xiao Qian?
Yang Junjun saw her shocked look, and knew that Lin Yanyan didn't receive it, and Lin Yanyan was lamenting the loss of such an opportunity.
"Now there is only one way to work, Yan Yan, my family has donated a large amount of sesame oil money to Lianhua Temple all the year round, my father has some friendship with Master Huijue, the abbot of Lotus Temple, Master Huijue's Buddhism is profound, I will go back and tell my father, let him go to Master Huijue, as long as Master Huijue is willing to help you speak, the rumors will be broken." Yang Junjun is an anxious man, and he is about to leave when he gets up.
"Jun, you don't have to." Lin Yanyan said busily.
She just wanted to solve the current trouble, but she didn't expect the palace to choose a concubine for the prince at this time, it seems that this is fate, and she and Xiao Qian still owe some fate.
"Yan Yan, this matter is not trivial, and you can't sit idly by." Yang Lujun felt guilty, she could guarantee that her family would not spread the word, but she couldn't guarantee that it was not spread by the family members of several other families, Yan Yan trusted them to tell the truth, and as a result, things turned out like this, and she was uneasy.
"Jun Xu, there is really no need, I said, I don't want to discuss my relatives now, I don't want to discuss with anyone."
As he was talking, Feng Hua knocked on the door and came in: "Miss, the Tenth Highness has come down to look for you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qian walked in.
