After eating in the canteen of Dali Temple, Zhen Shiyuan blasted Qiao Ran, Pei Qingqing and Xu Hexiu out.

"Get on track!" Pointing to their noses and nodding, Zhen Shiyuan said, behind every shining young junior stood such a bitter peak.

Xu Hexiu, who was blasted out of the yamen of Dali Temple, held his waist, and looked at Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing, who were also blasted out on the side.

Facing his gaze, Pei Qingqing kindly reminded him: "Let's go to the Ministry of Officials, and we will go a different way from you." ”

She heard it, it was the Ministry of Industry that Master Zhen asked him to go!

What he said was so reasonable that it was impossible to refute it, Xu He Xiu was silent, turned his head expressionlessly, and then leaned on his waist to call a carriage.

I don't know why this lonely back looks inexplicably "desolate".

"Look at us like he's bullying." Pei Qingqing pursed her lips, reflected seriously, and felt that she was not wrong, so she happily came to pull Qiao Ran's hand again, and said happily: "Miss Qiao, let's go, go to the Ministry of Officials to have a look." ”

Speaking of which, she hasn't been to this official yamen yet!

Qiao Ran glanced at the full snacks on her waist, and was led by her hand to the ministry.

This "temporary guard" is at a time when the excitement is high.

But children, it's all like this.

Qiao Ran shook her head with a smile and walked down the street with Pei Qingqing.

Because the yamen of the ministry was not far away, the two did not call a carriage and chose to walk. When passing by the roadside snack shop, a sweet and greasy plum blossom candy cake smell poured into his nose, Pei Qingqing couldn't help but slow down, and a pair of eyes looked straight at the shop, seeing that he couldn't walk.

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing when she saw this, so she simply stopped and pulled her towards the snack shop.

This plum blossom candy shop is newly opened, and it is not well-known, because there was no one in the shop when they entered.

There were two small square tables on the side of the small shop, and she and Pei Qingqing sat down at the small table outside, talking while eating.

"I think this sugar cake tastes better with milk." For dim sum, Pei Qingqing thinks he is an expert in this area, so he made an evaluation after taking a bite.

Qiao Ran picked up a piece and took a bite, without dipping it in the sugar dish given by the store, and somewhat agreed with Pei Qingqing's statement.

But he is disgusted in his mouth, and his demeanor is still very honest.

When Pei Qingqing wanted to get the fourth piece of sugar cake, the sunlight shining on the table was replaced by a shadow.

Sitting at the table outside is a rare bit of light, Pei Qingqing's face wrinkled, and she instinctively turned her head, but she heard Qiao Ran beside her already speak before she turned her head.

"You're here?"

There was a subtle smile in his voice.

There are not many people who can ask Miss Qiao to speak in such a tone, Pei Qingqing looked at Zhang Xie who was standing at the door with a small face, standing against the light.

Zhang Xie stood at the door for a while, then stepped over the door and walked in, and naturally sat down on the side between her and Miss Qiao, and then spoke: "I heard Lord Zhen say that you are going to the Ministry of Officials, so I came here." On the way, I saw this newly opened sugar cake shop again," Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Pei Qingqing for a moment, and then turned back to Qiao Ran's body, he said, "She will definitely not be able to walk when she sees it, you spoil her so much, you will definitely accompany her to sit here." ”

He was right! Pei Qingqing grimaced at him, moved his buttocks, and waved his hand to drive people away: "I still have to eat for a while, you two go outside and wait for me!" ”

After saying this, she threw Zhang Xie a look and asked him to take Miss Qiao out quickly.

She's helped him get to this, he should understand.

Fortunately, the two around her did not disappoint her, Qiao Ran listened, only chuckled and rubbed the dumplings above her head, and then got up and said to Zhang Jie: "In this case, let's go outside and wait, let Qingqing eat slowly in the house for a while." ”

Zhang Xie just mentioned "Lord Zhen", which shows that she went to Dali Temple to find her. With her understanding of Zhang Jie, she came all the way from Dali Temple, and she must have something to say to her.

The two of them got out of the candy shop, walked to the side of the alley and stopped.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Xie said, "I came to find you and have something to say to you." ”

Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment, then asked him: "Is it related to yesterday's incident?" ”

Zhang Xie couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: What the Great Heavenly Master said was really right, she may have already guessed after hearing Zhen Shiyuan say what he had heard about the early dynasty.

However, we still have to tell the details of what happened.

"Just now, I saw two officials in the Baisheng Building who were taken away." Zhang Xie said, his face was dark for a moment, "Those two officials are the ones who went back to report Ran Wen after witnessing someone making trouble in Baisheng Tower yesterday. ”

The girl listened attentively and did not interrupt him.

"However, at that time, the two did not return to the ministry immediately, but went to the "Sande Bookstore" and other newly arrived "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Brush", and waited until almost before the end of duty." Zhang Xie said.

The focus is on the time period of "fast value", calculate the time when the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials encountered an accident yesterday, even if Ran Wen, who received the news, understood on the spot, and asked Li Zhao to rush over to help, the time was not enough.

Therefore, the previous claim of retaliation because of the Que Lou case is simply not valid.

Qiao Ran naturally understood this: "It doesn't make sense for Lord Ran to go around so big." She said with a hint of interest flashing in her eyes, and seemed to feel a little funny, "How can I, a little woman, how can I actually let Lord Ran call the entire ministry to perform this play in front of me?" ”

Although it is a question, the answer to this is actually clear to the two of them: there is probably only one person in the world who can make Lord Ran do this.

"It's Your Majesty!" The girl rubbed her eyebrows, seemingly helpless.

If it weren't for His Majesty's acquiescence, how could a minister of the ministry make a big fuss about the restaurant making trouble at the court meeting?

So, why did Your Majesty do this? This kind of detour is nothing more than to make her think that it is those troublemakers who attack her, so that she will be jealous and even provoked.

She is just an ordinary case, how could she cause such a disaster if she did her duty as an official of Dali Temple? If the family members behind the perpetrators of every case are like this, then should the officials of Dali Temple go out?

The whole thing seems to be behind the whole thing, and maybe even her taking over the case seems to be intentional.

And who else in this world can do all this but Your Majesty?

Thinking of the golden scales that were offered by red beans on the long platform at home, a trace of clarity flashed in Qiao Ran's eyes.

She probably understood.

After all, it was once the product of a business marriage, and balancing the forces of all parties was a truth she had understood since she was a child.

Of course, the world in Her Majesty's hands is much bigger and more complicated than the commercial alliance she has to face, but some truths are always simple and applicable.

The expression on the girl's face changed from surprise to helplessness, and finally relief.

Zhang explained: "Originally, I was still thinking about how to persuade you, but it seems that you understand much better than me. ”

Qiao Ran's relieved and calm eyebrows stretched, and she bent her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Now that she has figured this out, all she has to do is take the initiative to jump into this game. If she doesn't jump this time, the opponent who will be set up for her next time by His Majesty may be even more powerful, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to enter the game.

At least this time, she also has some calculations in her heart.

After all, compared to this kind of people who will make trouble in restaurants, if it is a powerful one, such as ...... That's what Old Lady Xie is, that's the real headache.

The reason for yesterday's assassination is clear, then...... What about the copper plates?

Thinking of this, she inexplicably had some doubts.

The copper plate was given by Lord Ran, and this time His Majesty's people suddenly made a move, and it was also Lord Ran's situation, so can it be said that His Majesty has great trust in Lord Ran?

What about this copper plate...... Her eyebrows jumped, and she only hoped that Xue Huai's death would not be related to His Majesty.

"You say," the girl hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked Zhang Jie, "Do I still want to take that copper plate to Lord Ran?" ”

"If Xue Huai died because of that copper plate, I don't think you should make this trip." Zhang Xie said.

He hurried after her to prevent her from going to the ministry.

"If this copper plate is so important that Xue Huai died for it, then it is inevitable that someone else will die for it." Even the two copper plates on her body were given by Ran Wen.

After all, even if the same thing appears at different times and in the hands of different people, the results may be different.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xie sighed and said to the girl: "I naturally believe that Lord Ran is not a person who is extremely evil, but sometimes, in the eyes of those of them, the overall situation is more important. ”

Qiao Ran was silent.

The girl's face was rarely a little more complicated.

The tip of Zhang Jie's heart seemed to be stabbed, and a dull pain spread from the tip of his heart unconsciously: many times in this world, you can't do what you want.

Even he was the same.

"I understand." Qiao Ran has no intention of clinging to this, but ...... She still wanted to test an answer without alarming them.

To verify that this matter can actually be done in the opposite way, if Xue Huai died of murder, then there are only a few possible speculations, if the rest of the results are excluded, the last remaining results are naturally the possible results.

So, now she has to do the opposite, if Xue Huai's death has nothing to do with it, then where will the injury on his forehead come from?

It's just that since she has "taken the initiative" to jump into the game, it doesn't seem good to be too active in investigating Xue Huai's case, Qiao Ran didn't go to the Ministry of Officials again, and went back to Dali Temple instead.

In the face of Zhen Shiyuan's inquiry, she only said that this matter had nothing to do with copper plates.

This argument is obviously not enough to convince Zhen Shiyuan, but Zhen Shiyuan, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, has opened his imagination when he sees the girl's silent expression.

Maybe it was Ran Wen that the old fox said something or maybe the matter also implicated the people they couldn't move or something, in short, since she said it had nothing to do, it had nothing to do with it!

Although this girl is young, she has never dropped the chain.

Zhen Shiyuan's fingers fell on the file of Xue Huai's case, which had only been written a few times, and lightly buckled, and after only a little hesitation, he rolled up the file and handed it to her, saying, "It's not a big deal, this case will be handed over to you to be responsible!" Whether it was an accident or something else always has to be explained, isn't it? ”

Qiao Ran nodded, took the file that had only been written a few times, got up and said to Zhen Shiyuan: "I remember that when Xue Huai was investigated in the Que Lou case before, I also brought back a lot of physical evidence about Xue Huai, I want to go and see it." ”

Zhen Shiyuan untied the waist card on his waist and handed it to her.

Qiao Ran took it, turned around and walked out the door, and Pei Qingqing hurriedly followed when she saw this.

She's a "temporary guard"! Although Miss Qiao said that she would not need it tomorrow, the sun has not set today, and she has to follow Miss Qiao.

Qiao Ran went all the way into the warehouse with the little tail behind him.

When the little official who was in charge of the treasury heard her mention the physical evidence she wanted to see Xue Huai, he only said, "Master Qiao, wait a minute", and after a while, he took out a large bag of things from the warehouse and said, "It's also a coincidence." Xue Huai was in a hurry, these things hadn't been packed up at that time, and he was originally going to send them back to him the next day, but he didn't expect ...... Huh! ”

Unexpectedly, something happened to Xue Huai this time, and he didn't have time to return this big bag of packed things to him.

However, because of this, if Lord Qiao wants to come to the physical evidence, he doesn't need to clean it up, just bring it up directly.

Qiao Ran took it and thanked him, and said, "I won't take the things away, so let's see if it's feasible here?" ”

Hearing this, the little official hurriedly went to get two ponies and came over to let her sit down with Pei Qingqing.

Seeing that Pei Qingqing was cute, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to her.

Pei Qingqing took the melon seeds and thanked her, feeling more and more that the officials of Dali Temple had eaten more, and they were still very good.

Qiao Ran opened the package on the side, and there were a lot of bottles and cans containing pigments, as well as some utensils such as the Four Treasures of the Study, which was nothing special.

Qiao Ran casually took a few bottles and jars and opened them and looked at them: These things, as a student like Xue Huai who likes Danqing, it is very reasonable to carry them with him, and it is not strange.

The caretaker, who was dozing at the door of the storeroom, sat on the chair for a while, seemed to feel a little embarrassed, got up and said, "Lord Qiao, do you want to help?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head, grabbed the pen in her hand, and said, "There's nothing to help......

Before he finished speaking, he heard Pei Qingqing beside him "huh".

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ran turned her head to look at her.

Pei Qingqing shook her head, looked down at the ink inkstone in her hand, and then her eyebrows twisted into a ball, and after a pause, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss Qiao, this ink inkstone feels a little wrong." ”

Of course, this is not that she Pei Qingqing has little strength, but that she intuitively feels that this weight is wrong.

People who practice martial arts are always more sensitive to the weight in their hands than ordinary people, and she has also touched things like ink inkstone, but the weight in her hand is not quite right.

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, took the ink inkstone in her hand, and after looking at it for a while, the little official who stretched his neck and looked at it curiously suddenly said "oh", and said, "Master Qiao, can you show me the ink inkstone?" ”

Qiao Ran snorted and handed him the inkstone. After the little official took the ink inkstone, he looked at it for a while, then shook it in his hand, and after squinting at the ink inkstone for a while, he suddenly slammed it to the ground.

This smash made Pei Qingqing couldn't help but cover her mouth, really afraid that she would accidentally scream.

Fortunately, this little official didn't know that Xue Huai's death was not an accident, otherwise he wouldn't dare to smash such physical evidence.

Only Miss Qiao has the guts, knowing that this is physical evidence, and dares to watch this little official smash it!

The little official looked at the scraps of the ink stone that was knocked off, wiped it with his sleeve, and then excitedly pointed out the corner of the exposed ink stone to her, and said, "Lord Qiao, look!" ”

On weekdays, I take care of these miscellaneous physical evidence, and I have bought a lot, and I have seen a lot of "other things" in it.

The corner of this inkstone is yellow and clear, and depending on the color and the weight of the hand, it is very likely to be made of gold.

According to his many years of experience in taking care of physical evidence, if there is such a piece of physical evidence that "has a thousand years inside", most of the others are not simple.

His gaze fell again on the rest of the debris scattered on the ground, and then he reached out and picked up the inky pen holder.

This amount ...... Something seems wrong!

Don't...... Also made of gold?

If this is the case, there are several inkstones in this pile of evidence, plus these pen holders...... When did that Xue Huai become so rich?
