"Anyway, this case is not over." The girl looked at the sky outside as she spoke, and said, "It's time, my lord, let's talk about the rest tomorrow!" ”

After finding the real murderer of Xue Huai, she breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xue Huai's death was not caused by that "copper plate", it would be a good thing for her.

Looking at the girl's relieved expression, Zhen Shiyuan's face was a little delicate: looking at this expression, coupled with the fact that she was still worried about the lower value, it was enough that she was quite confident about this case.

Thinking like this, I saw the girl take off the official hat on her head and put it aside, and then reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head, and her black hair spread out like a waterfall.

She made a "comb" with her five fingers and began to comb her hair along her scalp.

Yo, it's all worth it, and I'm actually dressed up.

Zhen Shiyuan thought about it for a while, and blurted out: "I want to see Zhang Tianshi in a while?" ”

The girl snorted, there seemed to be a little more smile between her eyebrows, but her tone was still calm, not like the shyness of ordinary girls when their minds were pierced, she smiled and replied: "Yes, I have something to look for him in a while." ”

This answer is not surprising at all.

Even if she is a girl who is naturally beautiful and dares to face the sky, she still has to dress up a little before meeting her sweetheart.

Zhen Shiyuan looked at her for a moment, then shook his head and walked out.

It's already unitary now, and he naturally can't interfere in the private affairs of his subordinates.

After re-grooming her hair, and putting a hosta on her head under Pei Qingqing's "guidance", Qiao Ran left the yamen with Pei Qingqing.

"You said you were going to see Zhang Xie earlier!" Before leaving, Pei Qingqing did not forget to "chatter", "I'll go back and get you the skirt made by Sister Hongdou." ”

But even so, Pei Qingqing was not "reluctant", after all, it is also very important to wait for walnut crisp.

Qiao Ran reached out to help her wipe the walnut crisp that had not been wiped clean at the corner of her mouth.

Pei Qingqing smiled "grin": How do you say that sentence? There is a shih h hiff in the eyes of a lover, anyway, no matter what clothes Miss Qiao wears, Zhang Xie thinks it looks good.

"Shall we go to Baishenglou to find him in a while, or will we go to Zhang's house to wait for him?" After a pause, Pei Qingqing asked again.

Speaking of the three words "Baishenglou", it makes people drool, but it is a pity that it costs a lot of money to go to a trip, and her change is to buy snacks, but it can't be spent on Baishenglou.

Compared with other different dim sum, Yum Lou is obviously expensive and not cost-effective.

However, as long as there is an appointment with Miss Qiao, Zhang Xie will definitely be in Baisheng Building. He did a good job of this, at least he knew how to spend money for his future daughter-in-law.

But today is destined to disappoint Pei Qingqing, Qiao Ran reached out and touched the little ball on her head, and said to her, "Go to the Heavenly Master Dao Zhang's house today to wait for him." ”

Pei Qingqing let out an "oh", her little face was a little depressed, but she soon became happy again.

From the Yamen of Dali Temple to the Heavenly Master Road, you have to pass through the Yellow Heavenly Road!

At present, when the lights are on and when I walk to Huangtian Road, the night market has already opened, and I can still play by the way and go over again.

After playing with the night market's fire-breathing and ring-staking things, Pei Qingqing followed Qiao Ran to the front of the Heavenly Master Dao with a bunch of mud dolls obtained from the ring.

Although they left the Yamen of Dali Temple early, because they played all the way, it was not too early to reach the Heavenly Master Dao at this time.

Look at the shadows on the ground, it's time to go.

Thinking of the work he delayed, Pei Qingqing couldn't help but stick out her tongue, a little guilty, but this guilt soon disappeared. This is not because she is playing delayed kung fu, but because she is creating opportunities for Zhang Xie in office! How can she Pei Qingqing's play be called play?

Of course, Qiao Ran didn't pay attention to this little thing at all.

She just stood at the Tianshi Daokou, and was about to walk in, when she suddenly heard a "crunch", and the door of Jiao's house, which was closest to the crossing, opened, and with a burst of noisy footsteps, a soft sedan chair was lifted out of the door.

Before Pei Qingqing could react, she felt that the person was picked up all of a sudden, and then she was pushed into the shadows on the side with Miss Qiao, and a voice came from behind her.

"Don't make a sound!"

It's Zhang Jie's voice.

Pei Qingqing's clenched fist loosened, and she turned her head to look, but saw that Zhang Xie was wearing a night suit at this time, and made a boo gesture at them.

Even though most of his face was covered, they were familiar enough to recognize him just by looking at his eyes.

Pei Qingqing hugged the mud doll and frowned at Zhang Jie: Scoop her into the shadows and put her on the ground, but the hand that surrounded Miss Qiao and didn't let go, and even the hand that reached out to cover Miss Qiao's lips didn't let go.

As if he was afraid that Miss Qiao wouldn't recognize him, he pulled the face towel down and whispered to Miss Qiao: "It's me!" Then he let go of the hand covering Miss Qiao's lips, but the hand around her waist still did not let go.

Pei Qingqing watched silently for a while, and decided to pretend not to know and not to remind Miss Qiao.

It's rare for Zhang Xie to play so well, so don't interrupt his good performance.

To Zhang Jie, who was dressed in night clothes, Qiao Ran nodded and hummed.

Her nose was already brighter than usual, and as soon as he got closer, the familiar scent of sandalwood poured into her nose.

Zhang Xie let go of her at this time, then looked at her with a little smile in his eyes, and asked, "Come to me?" ”

Qiao Ran's face turned red, I don't know if it was an illusion, at this moment, the three of them were crowded in this cramped corner, listening to his slightly raised tail note, I always felt that his voice was no longer as clear as before and became a kind of indescribable confusion.

Her breathing seemed to become rapid at this moment, and the next moment, she was carried into the shadows by him again.

The soft sedan chair also appeared in the field of vision again at this time, and the car door shook slightly, and the figure inside could not be seen clearly, but one of the skirts could be vaguely seen.

The vivid red color is extremely beautiful in the dark night.

The sedan chair bearers are obviously all good hands, and they also have a little martial arts, and they can hardly hear the footsteps when they walk lightly.

After the soft sedan car left, he noticed that the hand around him was loose, Qiao Ran turned his head to look at Zhang Jie: "You...... What were you doing before we came? Did you go to Jiao's house? ”

Zhang Xie nodded, a pair of pupils brightened amazingly in the night, and he said, "I went to Jiao's house to be a gentleman on Liang. ”

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be dressed like this, Qiao Ranwan'er paused, and asked him again: "Who is in the sedan chair?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xie subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and then looked at her with a smile and said, "I thought you would ask me if the sedan chair was Miss Yuan." ”

"It shouldn't be her." Unexpectedly, Qiao Ran almost didn't want to think about it, so she shook her head and denied it, she said, "Yuan Jiaojiao likes light plain colors, and the corner exposed in the sedan chair is red, which is too gorgeous, unlike Yuan Jiaojiao." ”

Although it was not the first time he knew about it, every time he looked at her, he would be pleasantly surprised to guess something he hadn't said yet.

"It's really not Yuan Jiaojiao inside." Zhang Xie said, "It's Princess Zhennan." ”

As soon as the name King Zhennan came out, Qiao Ran was stunned for no other reason, it was really because the three words "King Zhennan" had never been heard of before compared to the likes of King Xiu who often heard in Beijing.

In Qiao Ran's ears, who was not familiar with the capital clan, it was the first time he knew that Da Chu still had a "Zhennan King".

Seeing the look of doubt on the girl's face, Zhang Xie smiled and said softly: "It's not strange that you don't know King Zhennan, because he didn't stay in the capital like King Xiu during his lifetime. ”

Qiao Ran didn't miss the word "before death" in his words, and was a little surprised when he heard the words: "King Zhennan is dead?" ”

"I've been dead for years." Zhang Xie said lightly.

This is another little-known past of the Great Chu Sect.

"When Emperor Taizong conquered the country, he rewarded the ministers and naturally did not forget his own Li clansmen, he had a younger brother who had a very good relationship with him, and he was also accompanied when he fought the world." Zhang Xie said, chuckled, and then shook his head, "Actually, Taizong's own brother is also good, but at that time, although Taizong's own brother also has some ability, it is not enough to see in the troubled times when heroes and heroes are numerous." Because of this, the people don't have much ink about him, and even the storytellers in the teahouse don't bother to say it, because there is really nothing wonderful to say. ”

Qiao Ran let out an "oh" and said, "That's for that Taizong's brother...... Is this also an inopportune time? ”

Zhang Xie only laughed twice, was noncommittal, paused and continued.

However, although his own brother is not outstanding, he is very loyal to his brother, and he is also by Emperor Taizong's side when he is most dangerous. After conquering the world, Emperor Taizong made his loyal brother the king of Zhennan, and the fief was in Lingnan. ”

Qiao Ran didn't interrupt him.

Zhang explained the events of the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, after the change of emperors in the later generations of Great Chu, the fief of the king of Zhennan may have changed a long time ago, otherwise how could there be a rebellion of Chen Shan, whose fief was in Lingnan?

It can be said that at least at that time, most of Lingnan was no longer the fief of King Zhennan.

"The Zhennan Wang lineage was involved in the seizure of the heir a few dynasties ago, but the result was on the wrong team, and the new emperor on the throne therefore liquidated the Zhennan Wang lineage, and finally forced the then Zhennan Wang Shizi to personally stab his biological father, and finally hugged the Zhennan Wang lineage, but there was only one city left in the fief." Zhang explained this, thought about it, stretched his fingers and compared, and said, "That city is only about half the size of Yuhang." ”

Qiao Ran let out an "oh" and suddenly realized: the scope of a prince's jurisdiction is smaller than that of the county order of a wealthy county. The king of the south of this town can be said to have fallen a long time ago.

"The previous King of Zhennan has been dead for several years," Zhang Xie sighed, and said, "The little prince also died young, and it can be said that the current King of Zhennan has lost his vein." ”

Qiao Ran reached out to help Pei Qingqing, who was eavesdropping while eating walnut cake, wiped the corners of her mouth, and waited for Zhang Xie to continue.

"Therefore, the fief of the king of Zhennan will return to His Majesty as soon as the princess of Zhennan leaves." A trace of pity flashed in Zhang Jie's eyes when he said this, "Without the King of Zhennan and the princess of Xiaoshizi, Princess Zhennan has no hope, and there are few people in Chang'an City who really treat her as a princess." ”

Qiao Ran had been listening thoughtfully, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say loudly: "The dilapidated posture of this Zhennan Wangfu shows that the princess of Zhennan must not be from a high background. I don't think His Majesty the Zhennan Mansion will see it as a threat, so he shouldn't force the princess to return to Beijing and watch it right under his nose. But now she is in the capital, well, I think a woman who has no husband and son will most likely choose to go back to her parents' home, is it possible that Princess Zhennan's maiden home is not in the capital? ”

This speculation is still as leaky as ever.

After the girl said this, she blinked her eyes and looked at him, her eyes burning and amazingly bright. Every time she finished reasoning, she had such an expression, as if there was a galaxy in her eyes.

People only show such expressions when they meet what they really like to do, and he knows from before that she really likes to investigate cases in Dali Temple.

"Not bad." Facing the pair of eyes with a galaxy in her mouth, Zhang Xie nodded to confirm her guess, "Princess Zhennan, her surname is Yu." ”

Yu! A subtle look flashed on the girl's face: This surname is not a big surname, in the whole capital, she happened to know that there was a family surnamed Yu, and this family was involved with her not long ago because of some things.

Yu is Huan.

"Princess Zhennan is Yu Shihuan's father's sister and Yu Shihuan's aunt." Zhang Xie said, his eyes swept over gently, "I said earlier that Your Majesty intends to add assistants to your opponent, so after I told you to come back, I began to stare at the movements of Jiao and Yuan." Of course, because of the proximity of his residence, it was not difficult for him to keep an eye on it, and he quickly noticed the movement next door.

"She came this time to hear that she dreamed of the deceased King Zhennan and Xiao Shizi, so she came to the Jiao family and asked the Jiao family to help ask her what a surviving person could do." Zhang Xie said seriously, but when he looked up, he saw the girl's extremely strange eyes.

Facing his gaze, the girl looked at him with a serious expression that seemed a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask him, "Can you Heavenly Master still ask this?" ”

"I can't do it at home if I don't have the ability." Zhang Xie still replied with that serious expression, "Maybe the Jiao family can!" ”

After Qiao Ran was silent when she heard this, she asked again, "Aren't you going to be Liang Shangjun?" Did you hear what the Jiao family wanted him to do? ”

Zhang explained: "The Jiao family asked her to burn more paper money for the late King Zhennan and Xiao Shizi, saying that the money was not enough to spend. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xie didn't look like a joke, Qiao Ran's expression was a little indifferent: "...... Oh, that's pretty good, with money, King Zhennan and Xiao Shizi can do a lot of things. ”

Zhang Xie glanced at her at this time, and then suddenly laughed.

Facing the stunned expression that the girl rarely sees, he couldn't help but reach out and rub the broken hair on the top of her head, and then said: "What I just said is all to tease you, and this is not what the princess asked at all." ”

Pei Qingqing was already stunned on the side: if it weren't for Zhang Xie in front of her, whether it was height, voice or anything else, she felt extremely familiar, she would have doubted whether this was fake.

Awesome! Zhang Xie actually learned to tease Miss Qiao, don't be impressed for three days!
