Qiao Ran felt a little familiar with this name at first glance, but before she could think of where she had heard it, there was a knock on the door outside the door.

"Miss Joe, Miss Joe......"

Hongdou "kicked" and ran to open the door: "Tang Zhongyuan, what are you doing, my young lady is going to rest, and Ming'er has to hurry!" ”

Although Pei Qingqing said that a person named Liu Jize died outside, but people came to find Dali Siqing, that is, Lord Zhen, Ming'er still has to hurry, Miss is not resting well, how can she eat?

Tang Zhongyuan didn't bother to argue with her, just glanced past her and looked in. There was a screen separating it, and although no one could be seen, the shadow falling on the screen could be vaguely seen, and Miss Qiao seemed to have climbed down from the bed, and walked out of the screen after a short time.

"Red Bean, I'm afraid Ming'er won't be able to catch up." Qiao Ran patted Hongdou's shoulder as she spoke, and said, "I remember, that Liu Jize seems to be an adult in the team that patrolled the day before, and after Su Xun died, the people in that team respected him later." ”

Looking at the appearance of those people who came to find Zhen Shiyuan late at night, it is estimated that it is not the same name and surname, it should be him.

Pei Qingqing also got dressed and grabbed a purse of snacks and walked around, and when she passed the red beans that were stunned on the spot, she also pushed her.

"What are you doing stupidly?"

After being pushed like this, Hongdou came back to his senses: "Didn't their group leave two days earlier than us?" Why did this Liu Jize appear here and die? ”

Following Miss, she is also well-informed, but she won't scream like an ordinary maid. Birth, old age, sickness and death are also common things, so there is no need to make a fuss.

Hongdou couldn't help but stand on tiptoe as he spoke, wanting to look out over Tang Zhongyuan, who was blocking the door: "That...... Are they also here? ”

Could it be that this Li San Gongzi is so deeply in love with Miss that he still makes people wait for Miss at this rate?

Tang Zhongyuan coughed twice, interrupted her thoughts, and said, "Your former uncle is not here, but look at this, he will turn back in a few days." ”

Lord Liu Jize died here, how could their group continue to return to Beijing? Naturally, it is going to turn back.

Pei Qingqing threw a candied fruit into her mouth and pulled Qiao Ran's sleeve: "Go over and take a look!" ”

Tang Zhongyuan suddenly ran over and knocked on the door, without thinking about it, it must have been instructed by Zhen Shiyuan, and it was estimated that she was asked to go over to see the situation.

Qiao Ran told her "Don't make trouble", then pulled her to follow Tang Zhongyuan, turned back to Hongdou and said, "Hongdou, make some tea for me, and come back to drink it later." Also, with such a big movement, Qiao Shu should also wake up, you go and appease him and let him not run around. ”

Hongdou immediately patted his chest and said excitedly: "Miss, it's wrapped up in the slave." "As Miss's eldest maid, Miss goes out to run errands, and the affairs of this family can only be left to her.

In a few words, he coaxed the red bean into obedience, Tang Zhongyuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, and sighed that compared to Miss Qiao, he was really ashamed of himself!

There were already a lot of people standing at the door of Zhen Shiyuan's room, and it seemed that they were dressed as local officials in Luoyang, probably because they had seen Tang Zhongyuan before, and they didn't stop him from bringing people over, but although they didn't stop him, their eyes still fell on Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing from time to time.

This henchman of Lord Zhen left a trip to bring back a girl and a child, what is this for?

Someone couldn't help but mutter, "Why did you bring these two people over at this time?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan paused, pointed at Qiao Ran, and explained: "This is Miss Qiao, who is about to go to Beijing with my family, the first female official of Dali Temple. ”

Suddenly, more eyes fell on Qiao Ran's body.

This is that Miss Qiao, looking at Wen Wen quietly, this face also looks like a vase, it is inevitable to judge people by their appearance, they are vulgar people, and they are not exempt from vulgarity, good-looking is secondary, the key is that this Miss Qiao looks too small!

Such a person is actually the key person in solving the case of Su Xun's assassination and hairpin banquet? Just kidding! Really?

If it weren't for the fact that Lord Zhen in that room was too old, and this Miss Qiao looked about the same age as Lord Zhen's daughter, they would all have to doubt the relationship between this Miss Qiao and Lord Zhen.

And Miss Qiao just forget it, she is the "female official of Dali Temple", who is the girl who eats snacks next to her?

Sensing everyone's gaze on her, Pei Qingqing straightened her chest and hummed: "I am Miss Qiao's guard, and I protect Miss Qiao thoroughly." ”

Looking for a kid to be a bodyguard? This joke is bigger than the one just now.

Tang Zhongyuan was a little helpless, he didn't want to explain for a while, and he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply sped up, took three steps and made two steps, walked through the crowd to Zhen Shiyuan's door, and reported: "Miss Qiao is here." ”

Compared with the somewhat crowded local officials standing in the corridor outside, there were only two people in Zhen Shiyuan's room besides him. One is wearing the official robe of the Mansion Yin, it seems that it is the Luoyang Mansion Yin, and the other is a linen gray shirt, with a bamboo box on the side, standing at the bottom with a rickety figure, which should be the work of the Luoyang Mansion Ya.

It is a cheap job, a ninth-rate industry, not all of them are Feng Gongzuo, and those who have hard skills in their hands are hard enough, and they dare to throw their faces at adults after changing their official bodies. Most of the servants are like the ones in front of them, and they are only willing to do so in front of the adults, and they don't dare to raise their heads, and the previous works of the Jinling Mansion are the same.

Qiao Ran walked in with Pei Qingqing.

Originally, Zhen Shiyuan wanted to find the female official to come over, but Luoyang Mansion Yin was a little worried in his heart, and now that he saw that she not only came by herself, but also brought a child, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Dead person, what is the child doing here?" ”

Two officials died in a row in the team of the inspection on behalf of the sky, and Su Xunji was assassinated in Jinling before, and he was still laughing at Zhen Shiyuan's bad luck to get into such trouble, but the people were lucky and were successfully promoted through the trouble; There is only one Dali Temple, and Liu Jize died here in Luoyang, don't think about promotion, no one will make room for him, it's good not to cause trouble.

Thinking about it like this, how can he still be in a good mood? There was nowhere to be angry at the moment, and when she saw Pei Qingqing who appeared here, she couldn't help but complain.

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at him and said, "This kid's surname is Pei." ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin's face froze, and he didn't say anything more.

There was no one in the house except Zhen Shiyuan, Luoyang Mansion Yin and that servant, and I heard that Liu Jize, who had died, was not here.

However, Qiao Ran is not surprised, it is the middle of June, it is early summer, and the weather is very hot. On such a hot day, running around carrying the corpse will soon rot and stink, looking at the current situation, Liu Jize should have been placed in the ice cellar of the official mansion, and then heard that Zhen Shiyuan was passing here, so he ran over to ask for help.

After Qiao Ran raised her hand to salute, Zhen Shiyuan asked her to sit down on the chair on the side, and Pei Qingqing also sat aside.

"The people are here." Seeing this, Zhen Shiyuan spoke, "Say, when did you find out about Liu Jize's death?" ”

"About an hour ago." Luoyang Mansion Yin hurriedly said, "There was a 'bang' at the door of the mansion, and the official on duty at night was startled, and when he ran out to take a look, he saw Lord Liu falling to death at the door." ”

Stumble...... Fell to your death? Rao was prepared, but Qiao Ran was still shocked by this answer.
