Chapter 171: Both of them avoid suspicion

Master Huasan cried with joy!

The painting is real, with his private seal on it.

Hua Jingyao watched coldly, watching her father look at the painting with a look of a thousand miles away and finally finding it, she felt that she was superfluous, her father and the painting were a family.

"Dad, look carefully, is this really the one you lost?" Hua Jingyao confirmed again.

"Really, absolutely." Master Huasan's eyes seemed to be glued to the painting, and he was reluctant to leave.

Hua Jingyao sighed and said unrelentingly, "Then I'll go." ”

"Hmm." Her father didn't reply.

Hua Jingyao came out helplessly, and Feng Niangzi came over with a bowl of mung bean soup: "Girl, drink a bowl to cool off." ”

Hua Jingyao took it and drank it all, thanked Feng Niangzi, and took A, B, C, and Ding out of Zhelu Lane, not disturbing her father and the painting to complain about lovesickness.

Standing outside Zhelu Alley, Hua Jingyao suddenly found that she had nowhere to go.

Originally, she wanted to go to the Yongguo Mansion to find Shen Xiaoxing to ask for her guilt, but now that the paintings are back, what else is she going to do?

originally wanted to celebrate the loss of the painting with her father, but her father showed that he didn't have the time to take care of her.

Enter the palace to find the third princess? I just went there yesterday, after all, it's the palace, and I can't go there every day.

"What's going on with Shen Feng's case? Master Shen should have come back, right? Hua Jingyao asked.

"Master Shen has returned, and there is no progress in the case when he is funeral today." Shi Yi said.

Miss Hua raised her eyebrows slightly, it is certain that there is no progress in the case, Shen Xiao is an immortal old demon.

When I think of Shen Xiao, I think of the little fox, and her little fox is nowhere to be seen.

Hua Jingyao's mood suddenly became bad, and she said to A, B, C, and Ding: "Go to the other courtyard." ”

Zhelu Lane and Zhaoyang Xiaozhu are in the same Ganshi Bridge, not far away, since the last time they left, Hua Jingyao has not been there again.

"I got the little fox in that day under the mule cart."

Sting suddenly spoke, A, B and C glared at him together, will you die if you don't speak?

Sting touched his head, he didn't say anything wrong, why did he stare at him?

Because it was not far away, Hua Jingyao did not take the car, and the master and servant went to Zhaoyang Xiaozhu in a few ways.

"Miss Hua? It's really a Chinese girl! ”

There was a voice behind him, and several people turned around, looking for the sound, only to see two familiar heads sticking out of the window of a teahouse on the side of the road.

Zhang 12 Shao and Gong Liu.

Hua Jingyao nodded at them, and at this moment, another head was squeezed into the window, it was Luo Chengzuo.

"Miss Hua, Lao Qin is also here, he has a treat today."

As soon as Gong Liu's words fell, Hua Jingyao had already walked into the teahouse.

She hadn't forgotten that a few of them had to check Shen Xiao together, although they encountered a little setback, but they couldn't retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Qin Wei was really there, Hua Jingyao was a little strange, and asked, "Don't you need to go to the office?" ”

Without waiting for Qin Wei to speak, Gong Liu preemptively said, "Something happened to the Qin family's courtyard. ”

"Something?" Miss Huada's eyes widened and she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Wei said softly: "This morning, a corpse was found in a well in the other courtyard, and that corpse was not from the other courtyard. ”

"Corpses? Which annex? Miss Hua was taken aback, the Qin family has two courtyards in Ganshiqiao, one is adjacent to Zhaoyang Xiaozhu, and the other is on the back hill of Fengyang Academy, that is, next to the Zhang family's courtyard.

"It's the one next to your house." Gong Liu hurriedly said.

Miss Hua was originally going to Zhaoyang Xiaozhu, but now she heard that the courtyard where the body was found was the one adjacent to Zhaoyang Xiaozhu, she suddenly became interested, and said to Qin Wei very unkindly: "Since the body was found in your courtyard, so you want to avoid suspicion and simply drink tea here?" ”

Qin Wei nodded with a smile, pointed at Luo Yanzuo and said, "He also wants to avoid suspicion." ”

"Why?" Miss Hua asked curiously.

Luo Qian was helpless and said, "Because the deceased is a relative of my family." ”

"What?" Miss Huada's mouth opened wide again, is this a coincidence or a coincidence?

She recalled that there seemed to be no such case in the entire ten volumes of "Luo Yingjun's Detective Record", but there were three cases of deep corpses in the well, but it seemed to be different from this.

"Relatives of the Locke family? Close relative? Distant relative? Miss Hua asked.

"Close relative, it's my cousin Nie Yuanshen." Luo said.

Hua Jingyao gasped, no wonder Luo Yingjun didn't write this case into the book, the deceased was Nie Yuanshen, of course it couldn't be written.

Nie Yuanshen, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, the younger brother of Ping'an Hou, the son-in-law of Qingwangfu, the guest of honor of Minghui County, and the nephew of the old lady of Jianming Bofu, and the cousin of Luo Chengzuo.

This is indeed a close relative of the Locke family, a very close relative.

And this person's identity is both a noble and a royal prince, and an official of the imperial court, and his case is indeed not suitable for writing into a book for the world to see.

Hua Jingyao looked at Qin Wei again and asked, "So now this case is personally supervised by Li Fu Yin?" ”

"No, it's the eldest prince doing it." Qin Wei said.

Hua Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief, since it was the eldest prince who handled the case, she could follow and watch the excitement, but if it was changed to Li Fu Yin, she could only listen to the result.

She put on a smirk, poured a cup of tea for Qin Wei with her own hands, and said, "Lord Qin, let's talk about it." ”

Qin Wei's face was helpless, anyone who encountered this kind of thing could only be helpless. The body was found in his own home, and he had to drink tea here because of this case.

"This morning, the men from the big kitchen went to fetch water, and found that there were people in the well, and when they were fished up, no one knew them. In the end, it was Xiao Chang who recognized that this person was Nie Yuanshen. ”

"Steward Xiao Chang has seen Nie Yuanshen before?" Hua Jingyao asked.

Qin Wei said: "The Chang family was originally Mrs. Luo's companion room, and she has long been out of the country, and there are two talents among the descendants, but there will be people in the Qin family in every generation of the Chang family to do things, and the little Chang steward entered the house at the age of twelve, and has always been in Jiuzhi Hutong, and only came to the other courtyard to do the steward the year before last, he has followed our brothers in and out since he was a child, and most of the houses in the capital can be familiar. ”

Hua Jingyao asked again: "What is the relationship between Nie Yuanshen and your family, or what is the relationship between the Ping'an Marquis Mansion and you?" ”

Hua Jingyao didn't ask the Qingwang Mansion, because what was the relationship between the Qingwang Mansion and the Qin family, the entire capital knew about it.

Back then, Emperor Dezong and his sister, that is, the old princess who had been the wife of the Qin family, were rescued by the Qingwang Mansion.

Now the family in the palace, together with the Qin family's concubines, are all descendants of the old princess.

Qin Wei shook his head: "At least in my memory, our family has no friendship with the Ping'an Hou Mansion, and it is not a good family, and the New Year's gifts are also given on New Year's holidays because of the relationship between the Luo family." ”

The Qin family and the Luo family are good friends, while the Nie family of the Ping'an Hou Mansion is the in-laws of the Luo family.

Hua Jingyao looked at Luo Chengzuo again and said, "Luo Chengzuo, please mourn for you." ”

Luo Yanzuo waved his hand, grinned, and suddenly turned into a flowering steamed bun: "Although he and I are cousins, we don't have any friendship." ”

What does he have to mourn, he and Nie Yuanshen are not familiar with each other.

In the eyes of the people of the Ping'an Hou Mansion, the Jianming Bofu family is all unreliable, and there is no one who is angry, and it is a shame for people to deal with them.

"One year, I followed my two brothers to the Ping'an Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and it happened that the palace rewarded a bunch of things, I was still young at the time, pointed to one of the lamps and said that I also have this lamp, but I was disliked, my family bought the lamp myself, and the lamp was rewarded by the saint, which was different. Later, I did a job, during the Chinese New Year, a few children of their family saw me and avoided it, I stupidly took the New Year's money to others, and people didn't want it, saying that the adults in the family said that they must study hard, otherwise they will have to do it like me. ”

Hua Jingyao felt a little sorry for Luo Yingjun, she really didn't expect Luo Yingjun to have such a tragic past.

"And then?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"There's no later, people dislike me so much, if I still have to be cheeky and come in front of others, isn't that just faceless? Since then, I have not been on the gate of the Ping'an Hou Mansion during the New Year's holidays, and their family came to greet my mother, and I did not go over to accompany the guests. Luo said with a smile, he had already seen it.

"So, you and Nie Yuanshen don't have a friendship anymore?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

Luo Yanzuo shook his head into a rattle: "People are guests of honor, and they are Shaoqing, and I am just a small servant, I don't even have a fortune, and I am not in the same circle as others at all, so what friendship can I have." ”

Gong Liu, who was on the side, laughed when he heard this: "How can there be no friendship, don't you and Nie Yuanshen have a friendship now?" You gave him an autopsy in the morning, hahaha! ”

Qin Wei coughed dryly, and said with a straight face: "The dead are big, don't laugh." ”

Gong Liu stuck out his tongue and said, "What a big official!" ”

Hua Jingyao asked, "Since Nie Yuanshen and the Qin family don't have a relationship, then why did he die in that well?" By the way, did he drown or was he thrown into a well after his death? ”

In the last sentence, Miss Hua asked Luo Cheng to make it.

Luo Cheng said: "He was thrown in after death, his tendons and tendons were all broken, there were many external injuries on his body, he suffered a lot before his death, and the cause of death was a broken neck, which should have been vigorously choked." “

Miss Hua was shocked again: "He died so miserably? ”

Although the body was not dismembered, the death was tragic enough.

Luo Yanzuo sighed and said: "The people of the Nie family are just the opposite of our family, their family is especially good at educating children, so they can all be literate and martial, Nie Yuanshen is good at arching and riding horses, and he is not a weak scholar who is powerless." ”

A person with good martial arts skills, but someone picks off his tendons and tendons, then the people who kill him are either many people, or their martial arts are far higher than him.

"What about the rest, what did you find?" In this sentence, Miss Hua asked the four people in front of her.

Qin Wei and Luo Yanzuo smiled bitterly together: "There is nothing else, Li Fu Yin learned that the deceased was Nie Yuanshen, so he let us avoid suspicion, and then we came here to drink tea, and then we met you, Miss Hua." ”

Hua Jingyao thought for a while and asked, "Then do you want to know who killed Nie Yuanshen, and why is his body in the Qin family?" ”

Isn't this nonsense? Of course I want to know, and I have to know.

Seeing that the two did not answer directly, Hua Jingyao asked Qin Wei again: "Can you guarantee that the murderer is not the Qin family?" ”

Qin Wei was very helpless, so he had to say, "Of course not." ”

"You two want to avoid suspicion, I don't need to, Lord Qin, can you invite me to your courtyard as a guest?" Hua Jingyao asked.

Qin Wei couldn't guess what Miss Hua was thinking, he said: "Of course you can, but I think Miss Hua had better go and meet the eldest prince first, the eldest prince may have already found clues." ”

At this time, the eldest prince should have returned to Shuntian Mansion.

"I'd like to go see that well first." Miss Huada said.

After about a stick of incense, Miss Hua was already standing in front of the well.

Luo said: "There are many footprints on the side of the well, there is no way, this well is not dry, and there are people coming to fetch water every day." ”

There was indeed no clue by the well, Luo Cheng had checked, and later the eldest prince brought Yin Zhutou over, and they also checked.

The last one who came here yesterday to fetch water was the one who found the body today, he was from the big kitchen, and he came to fetch water every day.

For the past two days, there was no master living in the courtyard, and therefore no one asked for hot water for bathing at night, but the man still came to fetch water before dinner, and he did not come after dinner.

The guards of the other courtyard did not find any suspicious people, although there was no master living here, but they still patrolled as usual at night, and the guards were divided into two shifts, each shift of ten people, patrolling around the courtyard, and they did not find anything wrong.

In other words, so far, no clues have been found in the Qin family's courtyard.

"Let's go, let's go to Shuntianfu." Miss Huada said.

She is worried that she has nowhere to go, nothing to do, and look, isn't there now?

Qin Wei and Luo Yanzuo wanted to avoid suspicion, so they couldn't follow up Shuntian Mansion in the bright light, the two of them sat in Jiangnan Chunli and waited, while Hua Jingyao and Gong Liuzhang Twelve Shao entered Shuntian Mansion together.

They had come to visit the Great Prince.

Of course, when he heard that they were coming, the eldest prince could think of what they were doing with his toes.

He was very happy in his heart, he had no clue about this case, and his cousin came to help.

After a few words, the two sides cut to the chase. Hua Jingyao got straight to the point and asked, "Cousin, what did the Nie family find out over there?" Nie Yuanshen is such a big living person, don't they know that he hasn't returned all night? ”

The eldest prince said: "I have already checked, I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked, it turned out that Nie Yuanshen had been missing for seven days." The Ping'an Marquis Mansion has been quietly looking for someone, and he also asked the Taifu Temple for leave, saying that Nie Yuanshen was sick. ”

Hua Jing Yaoqi said: "Nie Yuanshen's disappearance is such a big thing, why didn't the Ping'an Marquis Mansion report to the official?" Could it be that they knew where Nie Yuanshen had gone when they first started? ”

The eldest prince smiled: "You guessed it, Nie Yuanshen quarreled with the county lord of Minghui, the county lord of Minghui blasted Nie Yuanshen out, and Nie Yuanshen said to the county lord of Minghui that if she didn't kneel and beg him, he wouldn't come back." ”

Hua Jingyao was speechless, is there really such a thing? Hua Jingyao was speechless, is there really such a thing?
