Chapter 114: The Case of Qixiang 12
"Don't worry." Qi Ming took out the list from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Modao, "The one who didn't recover the jar of incense is this Liu Mansion, and the address is here." He handed over another note.
Yan Mo took the note and said, "... Ning'an Street in the east of the city... It's the east of the city again! ”
King Xing and the crown prince came forward and looked at the list...
"I have to go to Liu's Mansion to inquire!" Get up indifferently...
"In what capacity are you going?" Qi Ming asked unhurriedly.
Yan Mo paused... Falling back to her seat, she looked at the wooden box containing the jar of incense in thought, and then put the lid on the box with one hand and said, "Just as I am the boss!" ”
Qi Ming: "? ”
Yan Mo saw Qi Ming's puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "But... I need an assistant. ”
When the prince heard this, he was interested, and bowed his head and said, "My subordinates are willing to go with the big boss!" ”
"......" Yan Mo frowned, "Brother Jin... You can't..."
"Subordinate," the prince said in disbelief, "subordinate... No way? ”
Yan Mo twisted his eyebrows and said embarrassedly: "You look like a good child, you can't be my assistant, besides... What I need is a follower...", she turned her gaze to King Xing, and Qi Ming and the crown prince's eyes followed at the same time...
"King? Be your follower?!! King Xing pointed to himself!
"Hmm." Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, nodded as a matter of course, and turned to Qi Ming and said, "I still need some props, take out all the incense that was used on me last time!" ”
Qi Ming: "......"
Because of yesterday's heavy rain, even if it was just past the afternoon, it was not particularly hot today. Yan Mo was still dressed in civilian clothes, Qi Yun helped tie her hair, and when she put the wooden box on her back, she was a trader who walked the rivers and lakes!
King Xing dressed up and took off his luxury, he reluctantly changed his clothes and appeared in front of everyone, saying in his heart, this is good, he has become a reckless man! ! A gangster!
"Hongu finally knows.... Why must it be the Nine Emperor Brothers! The prince approving, "Looking at it like this, it really looks like a follower!" ”
"Brother Prince!!" King Xing is very dissatisfied!
"How useless! Let's go! "Yan Mo is leading and preparing to go!
King Xing puffed out his cheeks and followed behind Yan Mo angrily...
Qi Yun and Lan Bo drove the carriage together, and in the alley two streets away from Ning'an Street, they stopped...
Yan Mo and Qi Yu each carried a wooden box, quietly got out of the carriage, walked out of the alley, and disappeared into the crowd on the avenue...
The two of them came to the door of Liu's mansion slowly, and nudged Qi Yu's followers with a gentle gesture!
Qi Yuan: "Do what?" ”
Yan Mo: "Shout! ”
"You! You let me..."Qi Yu was reluctant, and desperately lowered his voice and said dissatisfied, "Let me be a prince and sell on the street?!!!! ”
Yan Mo: "That's right! ”
Qi Yuan: "Why does the king listen to you?!! ”
Yan Mo smiled and said, "Your second emperor brother has told me!" Strange from..."
Qi Yu: "Impossible! ”
Yan Mo took a deep breath and shouted: "Qizi...."
"Don't Don't !!" Qi Yu hurriedly grabbed Yan Mo, "Wang... I know! ”
In desperation, Qi Yu had no choice but to clear his throat... The corners of his mouth slanted, and he said as he walked: "The sound of the wind, the sound of rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear." Famous incense, expensive incense, exotic incense, fragrant fragrance! He waved two fingers and said, "Scholarly and fragrant!" "Proper scissorhands!
"Yay~" Yan Mo always felt that something was missing, and let out a cry inexplicably!
Strange mechanical rotor: "......"
"......" Yan Mo replied, "You continue!" ”
"Fun, interest, quirks, fun contains." Qi Yu resumed the naughty young man's smile, and continued, "Secrets, sexual affairs, love affairs, everything cares!" After shouting, he cursed in private, "It's all tiger and wolf words!" The king is not yet an adult! ”
"Selling, what you want is to be down-to-earth!" Yan Mo took over the conversation, "All kinds of strange words and albums, strange treasures from all over the world, solve your boredom, release your sex, today's special, pay a priori later, authentic guarantee, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”
Sure enough, the gate of Liu's Mansion slowly opened, and the steward ran out of the door and stopped Yan Mo and the two who were about to leave.
Steward: "Please stay, two of you!" ”
Yan Mo smiled and said, "What does the guest officer want to buy?" ”
The steward: "My wife has recently been happy with incense, and the two of you will follow me into the house and show your goods to my wife." ”
"Huh! Okay! Yan Mo's face was full of smiles, learning from Qi Yun's usual appearance, and keeping up with the manager of the Liu Mansion.
Qi Yu shook his head helplessly behind him, holding the wooden box and following him...
In the hall of Liu's mansion, Yan Mo and Qi Yu stood on one side, waiting for Mrs. Liu's family, she observed the furnishings in the mansion and found that the furniture and ornaments in the corner were old, but the silk decorative cloth strips on the bright side were very new, covering the old furniture...
After a while, before the person arrived, a fragrance of medicinal flowers came to the nose! Yan Mo recognized this fragrance, it was a jar of incense!
The steward kept his distance and said respectfully, "Madam, these two are the vendors who are out selling today. ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Liu, who was about forty years old, dressed in gorgeous costumes and wearing gold objects full of wrists and buns, looked at her and said, "What do you have in that box?" ”
Yan Mo laughed twice and said: "Look at the lady's extravagance, the things in the next box, the rare treasures don't dare, but there must be something you like!" She opened the wooden box and looked at her.
Qi Yu also opened the wooden box on his body, turned it out layer by layer, and displayed the goods.
When Mrs. Liu saw that there was a jar of incense, she immediately said excitedly: "Isn't this the jar of incense that only existed in the market the day before yesterday?" How do you have that too? ”
"It turns out that Madame has already seen this incense!" Yan Mo pretended to be very surprised, and continued, "Don't hide it from Madame, Aoki Gongzi is the senior brother below, and these bottles of incense are also made by him..."
Mrs. Liu picked up the jar of incense and said happily: "Oh~ I see, I, I tried it the day before yesterday!" Unexpectedly, hehehehe~ This fragrant old man likes it very much, and you see! She raised her hand softly and nobly, motioning for the other party to sniff.
It seems that Jing Zhaoyin is not useless, at least the secrecy work is in place, Yan Mo thought so, and approached Liu Furao's hand... It was closer, and the scent of the nose made her a little dizzy...
Yan Mo hurriedly breathed and replied: "It smells very good, this fragrance is combined with the body fragrance of Fu Rao, it is called a wonderful life!" ”
"Hehehehe~" Mrs. Liu smiled shyly, and the gold bracelet jingled with her movements, "I am, after using the jar of incense, this skin texture is a lot more tender!" I used a whole jar of incense! Wiped it all over the body!! ”
"No wonder it's so fragrant that my nose is about to fall off...", he said indifferently, and continued to laugh, "If Madame likes it, there is a big bottle below!" She opened the compartment and took out a jade-colored porcelain vase.
Mrs. Liu picked up the jade bottle, opened it and sniffed it, "The big bottle is good!" Well... The smell is the same..."
"Madame, you might as well try it." Yan Mo made a gesture of please.
Mrs. Liu smiled a little thief, and used her chubby fingers to hook out a lot of balm and smear it on her body!
Qi Yu's facial features were completely twisted together, and he hurriedly breathed and isolated some of the aroma in case he fainted on the spot!
After Mrs. Liu tried it, she touched her delicate skin and said with a smile: "How to sell a large bottle?" ”
Yan Mo smiled and said: "Madame sincerely bought it, it was originally fifty taels and one bottle, but now I only charge forty-five taels, how about it?" If—" she opened the bottom layer of the box, took out another identical jade bottle and said, "You want both bottles, then a total of eighty taels!" ”
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, and when she was about to say yes, she saw Yan Mo raise her index finger and shake it...
"Uh-huh!" Yan Mo said two tones and continued, "It's not all, the empty bottles of the canned incense can still be offset, one offsets five taels!" ”
Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed, and suddenly she frowned and said, "Oops! I'll throw away the empty bottles! ”
"Oops!" Yan Mo pretended to be sorry and said, "Where did you throw it?" Hurry up and pick it up! ”
Mrs. Liu asked tentatively: "An empty bottle is only, can it still be worth five taels?" ”
Yan Mo: "Oops! Madame didn't know, it was a porcelain jar that my senior brother bought back from the Western Regions, and it was unique in the capital! ”
"Emerald!" Liu Furen opened his eyes and hurriedly called the personal girl, "Cui!" Where are the empty bottles of incense? ”
Cui ran into the hall and replied respectfully, "Throw out the back door." ”
Yan Mo frowned: "Those?" ”
"Cui bought me three cans! It's all used up!! Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, approached Yan Mo, and raised her slightly chubby three fingers and said, "Is it possible to offset fifteen taels of silver?!" ”
"Ahem!!" Yan Mo coughed lightly twice because of the fragrance, "That's that!" Why don't you let Cui take me to see it! Maybe it's still there! ”
Qing Yu only used half a bottle of incense, which can protect the corpse and slow down the decay, this lady used three bottles!! If it weren't for Yan Mo and Qi Yu's constant pranayama, I really don't know if the nose is still there... Three bottles, there are twelve bottles recovered, and five bottles of Fangfu, which happen to be together, it seems that last night the girl was next to one of these three bottles!
Mrs. Liu: "Cui, hurry! Take her to see it! ”
Yan Mo's eyes motioned to Qi Yu, telling him to stay where he was and wait, and then he and Cui went to the back door of Liu's mansion.
She went out to look while walking, it turned out that this was the alley where the crime occurred, this alley was very long, some meandering, indifferent to the eye, the back door of Liu's house was still more than 40 steps away from the murderer's abandoned body, because the winding of the alley, covering the drying road, you can only see the house in the distance, and you can't see the bottom of the alley.
After Yan Mo came back along the alley, Cui asked, "Did you find the girl?" ”
Yan Mo shook his head: "It seems that someone has picked it up... When did you throw the empty porcelain jar? ”
Cui: "Madame used up three bottles at once, and the slave maid threw them away at lunchtime." ”
Yan Mo thought to himself: I threw it away at lunchtime, and it reappeared in the middle of the night, and the content of the balm had been changed, and the time for half a day was very tight, not to mention that the murderer still had to dispose of the body, I am afraid that the murderer was a person who lived nearby...
"Girl, girl...", Cui Wei was embarrassed, "if the slave knew that the porcelain jar was so valuable, she would definitely not throw it away... Madam... Madame, she will punish the slave and maid..."
Yan Mo stared at the other party for a while, and then said, "Let's go, Cui, go back to the hall!" ”
Qi Yu was waiting in the hall, almost fainting, because the room was already full of aroma, and there seemed to be no fresh air at all... He finally knew why the steward had been guarding the door... Looking at the courtyard following the figure of the steward, he finally saw Yan Mo come back...
Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked, "How?" Can you find it? ”
Yan Mo grabbed his sleeve and said: "I found it, Mrs., don't worry, the empty porcelain jar has been recycled below, and I will give you another fifteen taels, a total of sixty-five taels, two large jars of incense!" She walked to the wooden box, pretended to fiddle with the jar of incense in her sleeve, picked up the jade bottle, closed the box, and turned around and said, "Madam, please put it away." ”
Mrs. Liu: "Steward, take the money!" ”
"Yes."
After the transaction was completed, Yan Mo and Qi Yu walked out of Liu's mansion...
Qi Yu: "Can there be a result?" ”
Yan Mo: "The jar of incense next to the girl's body last night was discarded by Liu Fu, and the remaining two, I suspect that they are on the murderer." ”
"That is, whoever has an empty bottle of incense is the murderer!" Qi Yu affirmed!
Yan Mo turned around and said, "Mmmm! ”
Qi Yuan: "But how do you find the empty bottle?" ”
Yan Mo: "This is the problem we have to solve next..."
"It's up to you to think about the problem, the king will accompany you today, it's very face-saving!" Qi Yu put on a noble posture and said, "Where did you get those balms?" ”
Yan Mo cast a look at the childish child and said, "I picked it from the twelve bottles of incense that were recovered." ”
"What?" Qi Yu shouted, then he looked around for a moment, and said in a low voice, "You resell other people's used spices?!" Unscrupulous merchants!! ”
Yan Mo: "Don't worry, I let Mr. Qi cook it through the porcelain jar, and let him check it well, make sure that it is non-toxic and harmless, and it will be put into the jade bottle after high temperature sterilization." ”
"Extinguishing?" Qi Yu furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What is Annihilation?" ”
"Sterilization is sterilization!" Yan Mo put on an expression that was too lazy to explain, and took the lead in the front...
"Hey, hey, hey, you should go this way back..."Qi Yu pointed behind him.
Yan Mo: "I want to see what residents are around. ”
The two of them walked around, and found that two or three street corners were Fangfu...
Yan Mo: "It's Fang Mansion again... It seems that these clues are all related to the Fang Mansion..."
"Meow Meow~"
"Huh?" Yan Mo and Qi Yu both looked up and found two or three figures hidden in the tall trees...
"Princess," one of the figures said in a low voice, "why are you here?" ”
"Ah~ It turned out to be an official errand!" Indifferently, he took down the wooden box and handed it to Qi Yu, and flew up the tree while no one was paying attention!
One of the boxes was heavy, and there was another one, and Qi Yuan had to put them in the shade of the tree, and then he glanced at the tree before he leaned on the trunk to rest...
Among the green leaves, Yan Mo hid behind the trunk of the tree to hide his bright robe, and said to the officials, "What did you find?" ”
Official mission: "So far, there has been no change in the Fang Mansion, except for the housekeepers and servants who regularly go out to purchase, the princess can rest assured, we will send someone to follow." ”
Yan Mo: "Procurement? Where do you go to buy? ”
Official: "Chengdong Vegetable Market." ”
Yan Mo nodded and said, "What about those ladies?" ”
The official and his companions looked at each other a few times, and said helplessly: "Since they returned to the Fang Mansion, the entire Fang Mansion has been their voice!" ”
Official Messenger No. 2: "It's either crying and screaming for pain or crying for dad and mom and crying!" Kill the ears! ”
Yan Mo felt it for a moment: "Why is it so quiet now?" ”
Official Messenger No. 3: "I'm tired of shouting... It's time to rest, too..."
Yan Mo remembered that the ladies of the Fang Mansion had all eaten croton, and this should be the time for the medicinal power to be exerted.
"By the way, can someone monitor that Liu Mansion?" Yan Mo asked in the direction of Liu's mansion.
"We have deployed people to monitor the alley where the crime occurred." The official replied.
Yan Mo: "When will you change the guard?" ”
Official: "It's dinner time." ”
"I see!" Yan Mowan quickly jumped off the tree and said to Qi Yu, "Go." ”
Qi Yuan: "Where are you going?" ”
Yan Mo: "Go home!" ”
At this time, Fang Liulang appeared at the gate, his steps were vain, his eyes were black, when he saw that several officials guarding the gate had not been withdrawn, he was slightly angry, and when he was about to close the door, he looked up and found a familiar figure...
"It's you..."Fang Liulang, who had lost his romantic aura, seemed to be possessed by a ghost, staring at Yan indifferently, muttering to himself, "How should this son get you... The descendants of the Yi'an Palace... Hehe... There's always a way...", he smiled wickedly...
