I didn't close my eyes after two days of busy work, but fortunately, Lord Qiao "played well" as always, and found Xiao Xie in time, and the officials of Dali Temple and Taiwei Xie's subordinates finally breathed a sigh of relief and could go back to rest.

Qiao Ran also went home accompanied by Zhang Jie, and when she walked to the mouth of the alley, her face was a little wet, she instinctively raised her head, and the ice particles hitting her face carried the coolness of winter.

Since returning to Chang'an, many days of fine weather ended tonight.

Is it going to snow again?

Tang Zhongyuan, who was following the two of them, couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Master Xie has found it." ”

Otherwise, it will always be more difficult to find someone outside on a rainy and snowy day than on weekdays.

"Let's go back quickly!" Zhang Xie tied the cloak on his body to the girl, looking at the girl's bright eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little, "Don't get cold." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, and walked in with Tang Zhongyuan, the house was only a few steps away from the alley, and the knocker was buttoned, and after a while, he heard the muttering of red beans and Pei Qingqing's loud shouting, which was mixed with a few meows.

The door was closed, the voice gradually faded away, and the person should have entered the house, Zhang Xie withdrew the smile on his face, looked up, and the snow particles hit his face with an indescribable coolness.

His mind had never been as clear as it was at this moment, and he took a few steps in the direction of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and suddenly paused at his feet, and turned to the annex of Lord Xie of the Vermilion Bird Workshop.

……

In the house, Qiao Ran soaked in the bathtub and listened to Fang Xiuting, Pei Qingqing and Hongdou chatting and talking with melon seeds outside the screen.

"Sister Hongdou, you still don't understand!" Pei Qingqing said loudly, "It's just that someone pretended to be Xie Chengze and did something bad, and now that person has found it, Xie Chengze has also found it." ”

Hongdou let out an "oh" and said, "I said why Miss and Tang Zhongyuan have been so busy in the past two days, it turns out that they are looking for someone." Saying that, he couldn't help but say stupidly, "It seems that Chang'an is not very safe, and even Gongzi Xie will be tied up." ”

"That's right." As soon as he finished saying this, he heard Pei Qingqing echo, and he could see the little head nodding through the screen, "If it was me like this, I must have cleaned up the other party a long time ago." "The men in this world are still too weak!

Fang Xiuting interjected at this time: "Which one wants to pretend to be you to do bad things?" "It's not an official or something, what can you do pretending to be her? Do you steal candy to eat?

Pei Qingqing snorted twice and said, "I'm also amazing." By the way, when Xie Chengze gets better in two days, I still have to go to see him! The little girl said, her tone not without pride, "I have also prepared a gift." ”

"What kind of children still learn from adults?" Hongdou and Fang Xiuting couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard it.

Fang Xiuting said: "Then Gongzi Xie is not rare for your gifts. ”

Hongdou also said: "You just have to go, who cares about you?" ”

"That's not good, I'm half an adult." Pei Qingqing patted her chest as she spoke, and the person left the stool with a bone, ran to the shelf on the side, and after a long time, he took off the gift he had prepared and showed it to them, and said, "This is the gift I prepared for Xie Chengze when I went to see him." ”

He is not very old, but he is very particular.

Hongdou and Fang Xiuting looked at the small box and said strangely: "What have you prepared?" ”

Pei Qingqing proudly opened the box, pointed it out to them, and said, "I prepared food and fun for him." ”

Eating and playing, when Gongzi Xie is as big as her! Fang Xiuting pulled the corners of her mouth, yawned, got up and walked out: "It's good if you're happy, I'll go to sleep." ”

It's good to have this mind, who cares about children in general.

Eating a pack of green plums and playing with a rattle, taking these two things to visit Gongzi Xie is almost laughing to death.

After Fang Xiuting left, Hongdou couldn't help but say, "If you really don't know how to prepare a gift, I'll help you prepare it!" How old is Gongzi Xie, and he still plays rattle? Also, you love snacks as much as you do! ”

Pei Qingqing said: "I bought this plum yesterday, it's too sour, I don't like it, so I gave it to Xie Chengze, so as not to waste it." ”

Hongdou tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, took out the plum and said, "You are also embarrassed to give what you don't like to Gongzi Xie." And this rattle is also taken away, how old is Gongzi Xie, and he still plays this? Even if they are married now, this child will not be able to get it right away. Don't make a fuss, you can't give this gift. ”

Unexpectedly, Pei Qingqing snorted when he heard this, and said proudly: "You don't understand this, Xie Chengze likes rattles, once I saw him sitting alone and shaking a rattle for a day!" ”

Miss Qiao said that gifts should be given to people's favorites, and Xie Chengze's favorite is a rattle, so she naturally wants to give this.

Hongdou didn't seem to know what to say for a while, paused, and couldn't help but say: "I haven't heard of giving a rattle to an adult, and Gongzi Xie may play the rattle on a whim, and he can't do it." ”

Pei Qingqing stuck out her tongue at her, closed her small box, and said proudly: "You don't understand this." Don't look at those sons, there are a lot of people who like strange things behind their backs. For example, Xie Gongzi likes to shake rattles, Zhang Xie likes origami, and I heard that there were people who liked rag dolls before! ”

She can see a lot more, wouldn't an adult like her father steal her snacks to eat?

Hongdou saw that she put the box away, and was really ready to take the rattle to give a gift, and was about to persuade her, but she heard Qiao Ran's voice sound.

"The gift is light and affectionate, it's always her heart, just let her send it!"

Qiao Ran walked out from behind the screen, walked to the table and sat down, looked at the bag of green plums, pondered for a moment, and thoughtfully: "Indeed, you can't forget to bring gifts when visiting patients." ”

She still needs to confirm whether the living one is the real Xie Chengze.

……

The night was dark, and when I rushed to the annex of Master Xie Suzaku Fang with the lantern on the road stick, the people had already withdrawn.

Even the outer room where the original residence in the garden was lived, the illegitimate son and a few maidservants were taken away, and the Xie family's room had to have a lot of chickens and dogs tonight.

Zhang Xie stood outside the orchid garden, watching the road sticks being pushed back and forth, the orchid garden was full of human footprints, and the lanterns were burned to ashes on the ground.

The site has long been destroyed in a mess.

This is not the scene of the crime, and even she didn't say anything about protecting it, and in fact there was no way to protect it. The two murderers who died committed suicide, but the important thing is the living Xie Chengze and the injured Master Xie.

Snow particles fell from the sky one after another, and it was foreseeable that after this heavy snowfall, the scene would be completely destroyed.

Zhang Xie stood by the orchid garden for a moment and walked towards the cellar.

The entrance to the cellar was still open, but the torches inside had long since been extinguished.

He took the purse from his waist, poured out a Night Pearl from the purse, and walked to the cellar under the blue light of the Night Pearl.

In fact, under the light of the torches, he had already seen the cellar once. A thousand books

There are all kinds of hoes and utensils for planting orchids in the cellar, and the hemp rope in the corner that is cut by a sharp blade is the one that tied Cheng Ze before, and the rest is nothing special.

After looking around, Zhang Xie left the cellar.

Actually, she has already seen it once, there should be no other problems, and the rest, as long as it is confirmed that it is Cheng Ze who is alive, it is enough.

Zhang Xie stood in place, letting the snow particles fall on his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The friend who has known him for many years has been impersonated for so long, and he didn't even notice it at all, I really don't know if his reaction was too slow, or the other party's methods were really superb.

The wind shook the flowers and trees, the crash crackled and the white light flashed in the sky, the thunder tore through the sky, and the ice particles turned to rain and drifted down, watering the people standing by the flower beds.

……

……

At first, it was ice particles, and I thought it was snowing, but it started to rain in the second half of the night.

Early in the morning, the rain that slapped the window rock crackled, and Pei Qingqing, who loved to sleep lazy, did not hold the quilt and lie on the bed as in the past, but sat by the window and watched the heavy rain with two deviated "balls" on his head.

As soon as I entered the door with the red beans for washing hot water, I saw the girls who were noisy in the past, such a scene of watching the rain quietly.

The girl's Yuxue is cute, and she really feels like a person in the painting with her cheeks staring at it like this. Of course, the premise is to ignore the two messy "balls" on her head.

Hearing the sound of her entering the door, the girl turned around, and as soon as she spoke, she immediately "destroyed" the artistic conception of the painting.

"On this rainy day, it's troublesome to go out, and I'm running out of snacks."

Just know how to eat! Hongdou rolled his eyelids, brought the hot water to the table, and said, "Miss, the water is here." ”

After washing up and having breakfast, the young lady was going to Dali Temple on an errand.

You can't stop going out because it's raining.

Qiao Ran listened to the nagging of red beans while washing.

"They are all saying that the winter in Chang'an this year is not cold, I originally thought it was talking about fun, but I didn't expect it to be true." Hongdou looked at the crackling rain outside and sighed, "It's not snow, it's rain, which shows that it's really not cold this day." ”

Qiao Ran replied casually, looked outside, and said, "Qin Tianjian's weather is sunny and rainy, and the snow is not accurate. ”

"That's nothing to do with my uncle." Hongdou didn't care about this, "Anyway, Qin Tianjian's prediction has always been like this, Your Majesty will never attack Qin Tianjian because of this little thing." ”

That's right!

After breakfast, when Qiao Ran and Tang Zhongyuan went to the yamen of Dali Temple, there were not many people in the yamen.

A few early ones also yawned and chatted: "In such a rainy day, it is not easy to walk on the road, and there are many lates, but Lord Zhen came early today." ”

Qiao Ran said hello to his colleagues with a smile, and went straight to the house of Dali Temple to see Zhen Shiyuan.

When I opened the door of the house, I smelled the familiar smell of soup.

"Nam Kee's ravioli." Qiao Ran stepped forward as she spoke, and pulled away the book on the table that was blocking Zhen Shiyuan, and said, "Lord Zhen, are you treating that little flower's uncle and aunt as the cook in the kitchen?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan coughed embarrassedly and said: "Those two indirectly played Gu on Xiaohua, although they were seduced, but after knowing the incident, they not only did not take the initiative to inform them, but they were ready to run away." Originally, those who didn't know were innocent, but this run was a great crime. However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and they were supposed to be demoted to hard labor, so the official operated and brought these two people to the back kitchen to help. ”

In other words, Nanji will become the kitchen of Dali Temple in the future.

I'm going to enjoy it! Qiao Ran chuckled and asked, "What about Xiaohua?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Naturally, she is gone, she is always looking for a husband or something here, and the officials of my Dali Temple are all in danger, what are you going to do with it?" "The prisoners in prison also have to eat, after all, shouldn't they be counted on the head of Dali Temple?

It's really not a good family to know the price of firewood and rice, and when it comes to the New Year's report, he Dali Temple Yamen spends so much money on food, isn't it going to be used as a cooking bucket?

Qiao Ran's focus was obviously not on eating, and she was surprised when she heard this: "She is willing to go!" "I thought Xiaohua hadn't seen enough!

"Because someone sacrificed himself to get along with Xiaohua!" It happened that Pingzhuang, who was passing by, leaned in from outside the door, and heard the two of them talking about Xiaohua, so he said casually, "Hu Liang's kid and Xiaohua are getting better." ”

Thinking of this, Pingzhuang's expression was a little subtle. When he was worried about Xiaohua, Hu Liang said that he "didn't know how to be blessed in the blessing", he thought it was polite, but he didn't expect that the kid really fell in love with Xiaohua.

It's okay that these two people look at each other right, and he's safe. Pingzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, sniffed his nose, and went to the dining hall.

Lord Zhen transferred Xiaohua's uncle and aunt to the canteen of Dali Temple, which is a great thing.

After Pingzhuang left, Qiao Ran asked Zhen Shiyuan: "Xu Hexiu went back?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Yesterday, when we brought people back to Dali Temple, Xu Hexiu woke up. I heard that after finding Xie Chengze, he fell asleep at that time, and he should have been tired, so I asked someone to send him back to Xu's house. ”

Saying that, Zhen Shi looked at her from afar and moved up: "The Criminal Department picked up Yingge early this morning, you are fast!" ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you want to be fast, my lord?" The girl said with a slightly stunned expression, "It's okay for those people's bodies to stay in the Que Tower, they must be buried in the ground, so naturally the sooner the better." ”

This case has been closed since then, as for whether you can ask the mastermind behind the scenes from Yingge's mouth, it is a matter for the Criminal Department.

Naturally, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the criminal department. Zhen Shiyuan pushed aside the bowl of wontons he had eaten in his hand and said, "Also, there is news from the Xie family's room, saying that the Xie family wants to recognize the illegitimate child." ”

It really made her expect, Zhen Shiyuan's expression flashed a trace of surprise: "It stands to reason that the Xie family has no shortage of heirs." ”

Qiao Ran snorted lightly: "The Xie family is not lacking, and Master Xie is lacking!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Would a person like Taiwei Xie still care about an illegitimate son of Master Xie?" ”

In this regard, the girl only smiled and said, "I said, this is a great opportunity for that outer room." Of course, Taiwei Xie would not care about one or two unsuccessful children, otherwise he would not have let people hand over Xie Yi before, and let us act impartially. ”

"Speaking of this matter, Xie Yi is also unlucky, before this matter, Taiwei Xie had already sent the grandson of the long house to prison without family affection, and now there is a son left, if he cares about what his concubine does not let him recognize back, wouldn't it be too ruthless to make Master Xie go to the end?"

"Besides, people have comparisons, compared to each other, Xie Yi is involved in a lawsuit for human life, but this kid has done nothing wrong, Taiwei Xie can't do things perfectly, he has already been tough and took away a son of Master Xie once, and now he naturally has to loosen up, relax one by one, Fang Wei is the right way!" The girl glanced at Zhen Shiyuan as she spoke, "When Mrs. Xie personally informs Xie Yi of the matter of Master Xie, the adult's case may also have progressed." ”
