I can't really find fault with this statement.

Pei Xizhi walked in with Qiao Ran.

"Lord Zhen." The two of them saluted.

Zhen Shiyuan had a headache and helped his forehead: That's it, what kind of tantrum with the juniors. He has also been troubled by the incidents of Jinling City these days. This Miss Qiao looks like a woman, but she also has some ability, he hasn't forgotten that the old things of the Qiao family were found out by her.

"You two came late, I don't know yet." Zhen Shiyuan figured it out, so he didn't bother with it, as soon as he got older, chores were enough of a headache, so why bother screwing up on a little thing?

"When he found Feng Yuan, he had grease powder on his face and hairpins." Zhen Shiyuan pointed to the flower on Feng Yuan's head, "It should be the best fat powder, and the official has asked the makeup lady to identify it, and I think I will be able to lock the murderer soon." ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Qiao Ran said.

Wise? Zhen Shiyuan coughed twice, glanced at the seal that was squatting on the ground and flipping Feng Yuan's corpse: It was this work that found this. However, knowing people well and not going their own way is also called wisdom!

"It's unlikely to be a coincidence that Jiang Shanchang and Feng Yuan had an accident one after another," Zhen Shiyuan paused and said, "So this official has sent someone to protect the other four gentlemen, and this matter may be related to the hairpin banquet." ”

"Maybe it's not this year's hairpin banquet, but the last one, because Jiang Shanchang committed suicide." If they were all killed, maybe the other party wanted to obstruct the progress of the hairpin banquet, but Jiang Shanchang's suicide made things confusing, Qiao Ran thought about it and asked, "What happened at the hairpin banquet ten years ago?" ”

The hairpin banquet comes once every ten years, except for Jiang Xiao is a local of Jinling, the rest are from Chang'an, Yanjing, Luoyang, these places, if something really happened at the hairpin banquet ten years ago, it is only this time to wait for these people to gather again.

After Qiao Ran said this, she felt that there was silence around her, and after a pause, she looked at everyone: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with me? ”

"No, it's not." It was Pei Xizhi who came back to his senses first, his face was a little strange, "It's not that it's inappropriate, but although Miss Qiao's statement is fresh, it's not impossible to think about it." ”

Fresh in her thoughts? Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: This is Da Chu, not the era she used to be. In the era of advanced communications, even if she had only been there for 20 years, what she had seen and heard in those 20 years was that many veterans who had been immersed in this way all year round may not have seen or heard as much as she had seen.

"If something happened at the hairpin banquet ten years ago, so that some people hate several gentlemen and want to take the opportunity to seek revenge, until a few people reunite, there will only be a hairpin banquet ten years later." Qiao Ran paused as she spoke, and looked at Zhen Shiyuan, "Since Lord Zhen wants to check the hairpin banquet, you might as well check the one ten years ago and the one now." ”

Zhen Shiyuan nodded: "There is some truth." ”

I can only know these for a while, Feng Yuan's corpse is naturally impossible to stay on this painting boat, the weather is hot, and it won't take long for the corpse to change, emitting a rancid smell, so I can only transport it to the government office first and borrow the ice cave to preserve it.

The matter of the makeup lady may not come in a moment, and after staying in the painting boat for a while, Qiao Ren and Pei Xizhi resigned first. When he got off the painting boat, Qiao Ran walked straight to Tang Zhongyuan.

is also an acquaintance, knowing that she will not come to him for no reason, Tang Zhongyuan coughed and got straight to the point: "Miss Qiao, what's the matter?" ”

"I want to meet that Zhao Wen." Qiao Ran said.

"Why do you want to see Zhao Wen?" On the way to the mansion, Pei Xizhi was a little puzzled, he remembered that this Zhao Wen was the "cheap uncle" of the old man Qiao, after the death of that Jiao Niangzi, this Zhao Wen was locked up in the prison of the mansion, although there is no evidence that he knew about poisoning people, but it is obviously impossible to say that it doesn't matter. In the meantime, Master Qiao used the silver again and dredged up the relationship, if there is no accident, this Zhao Wen will be locked up in prison for the rest of his life.

After Jiao Niangzi's accident, Qiao Ran also asked Tang Zhongyuan about Zhao Wen's news: It is said that this Zhao Wen is not noisy or noisy, he just reads poems and looks at the scenery in a daze every day, which makes the cell boss breathe a sigh of relief. It is much better for a prisoner who is not noisy than a prisoner who is tossing around.

"Because of that poem." Qiao Ran didn't hide it from Pei Xizhi, and said everything she knew, "The sentence 'Flowing water and flowers go in spring, heaven and earth' is a poem that Zhao Wen has been chanting, I can't do anything right now, I might as well go and see it." ”

"This poetry is really too common," Pei Xizhi was silent for a moment, and said, "This Zhao Wen should have nothing to do with the mountain chief!" ”

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "It's not nothing."

Facing Pei Xizhi's shocked look, she smiled again: "Zhao Wen consulted Jiang Shanchang about his paintings, and Jiang Shanchang criticized him for having more than one craftsmanship and insufficient aura. ”

But it is not surprising that many people in the entire Jiangnan Mansion have asked Jiang Shanchang for paintings. There are even more literati who lack this kind of aura.

"It's all about painting, just ask!" Qiao Ran said.

Pei Xizhi nodded.

When approaching the prison of the government office, seeing the first few officials who stayed behind in the government in front of him were in a hurry, Qiao Ran suddenly had a bad feeling.

When they rushed over, before they could ask questions, they saw the old Zhou Tou guarding the prison door hurrying over to report to Tang Zhongyuan: "Something happened, a suspect in the prison was robbed." ”

Qiao Ran's face changed suddenly, and without waiting for Tang Zhongyuan to speak, he took the first step to speak: "Which prisoner?" ”

Old Zhou Tou also recognized Qiao Ran, and immediately said: "Miss Qiao should also know that it is the one who is crazy about chanting poems all day long." ”

It's Zhao Wen!

Pei Xizhi's face changed greatly: he said that this Zhao Wen may have nothing to do with this matter, and the next moment Zhao Wen was robbed. If you don't rob sooner or later, it's just that at this time, if Zhao Wen has nothing to do with this matter, then there will be a ghost.

Unexpectedly, the clue appeared around them early in the morning, but at this time, it was robbed one step ahead of time by someone who was most likely a murderer.

"I'll go back and ask my grandfather for help," Pei Xi said, "My Pei family also has some ways in Jiangnan Mansion, and it shouldn't be a problem to find someone." ”

Zhao Wen...... Maybe you don't have to bother the Pei family," Qiao Ran stopped him, his eyes swept over him and looked behind him, "Someone is more anxious than us." ”

A golden sedan chair stopped in front of him, and Master Qiao walked out of the sedan chair with a calm face.

"The one surnamed Zhao was robbed?" Master Qiao rushed over with his servants.

This menacing appearance made the faces of the few officials present change slightly: as if they remembered the scene of that day when the Qiao family and the Fang family led each other's servants to almost gather at the gate of the mansion to fight.

"There must be accomplices!" Master Qiao's voice rang out, "I've spent money on that slut all these years, and I don't know how much money I've spent. No wonder the number is not right until now, isn't this the government? I want to sue the official and sue Zhao Wen for embezzling my family's money! ”

I'll go! Pei Xi's anger almost didn't go down: everyone is busy at the moment, what is this Master Qiao coming to join in?
