It's all said so clearly, what else can it be for?

Qiao Ran was silent: "Then this Yu is Huan is quite shameless." Without waiting for Xue Huai to speak, he continued: "It can be seen that the Yu family's style is really strict, and Yu is Huan is not full of money, otherwise he will go directly to drink flower wine to solve his temporary needs." ”

Xue Huai stared at her and didn't speak.

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "What?" Got me talking about something? ”

Is there a problem? Xue Huai shook his head, of course there was no problem. It's just this kind of thing, shouldn't ordinary people sigh at Yu is Huan's character? That's what she actually thought.

Not on hand.

Xue Huai's face was a little complicated, compared to him, Yu Shihuan had a lot of money on hand. But compared to Yu is Huan's flowers on weekdays, the best pen and ink pigment paper is expensive, and every time there is a good work, I have to go to Baisheng Lou and other places to eat, drink and talk about celebrating. There are also flower viewing in spring, river swimming in summer, mountain climbing in autumn, and snow in winter, which is far more than coming in. The Yu family is a scholarly family, although the family background is also acceptable, but in the end it can't be compared with Cui, Wang, Xie and other big families who have changed dynasties and have rich heritage, so it seems that Yu is Huan is afraid that his hands are also very tight.

She's right.

After a few turns in his mind, Xue Huai's eyes became more and more subtle when he looked at the first girl, and the color of inquiry in his eyes became more obvious.

The girl didn't see it, but crossed her arms and continued to wait for him to continue.

After a stalemate for a moment, Yu Shihuan was defeated and said again: "That couple found their daughter, so they naturally wanted to redeem it." Speaking of which, the girl was a good citizen, and she was abducted by a kidnapper, which was different from the ordinary sale of slavery. After going to the mansion, Lord Yin He hated this kind of thing, and he didn't go to find Yu Shihuan, but went directly to find Yu sacrificial wine. When the priest learned about it, he didn't even ask for the money he had bought the girl, so he returned the deed of sale to the couple. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Lord He is right to find Yu Sacrificial Wine." As far as Yu sacrificial wine is concerned, this girl is just an ordinary subordinate, and the subordinate slaves who are purchased do not need a few dollars, and Yu sacrificial wine is not bad for people, and the Yu family is also his final say, and it is only a matter of a sentence at best. But if you find Yu Shihuan, who gets along with that girl day and night, I'm afraid that there will be trouble, and if you get along day and night, Yu Shihuan's character may be difficult to be the same. With him close by, the girl must know a lot of Yu Shihuan's secrets. Speaking of this, the girl suddenly glanced at him and said, "Knowing too much is often not a good thing." ”

Xue Huai's face stiffened slightly: he also felt that there was some truth in this. But what do you say, what do you do with him?

"So, the next thing is that Yu Shihuan is still secretly harassing that girl from time to time?" Qiao Ran asked him rhetorically, "Then the couple found out, and the girl who was still hesitant to say it told Yu Shihuan what she had done by taking her with her." On the surface, benevolence and morality, but in fact selfishness and hypocrisy? ”

Xue Huai looked at her, as if he had acquiesced.

Qiao Ran said, "No. There are so many people who know about her being Yu Shihuan pretending to be a scholar, even you can know it, and it is impossible for He Taiping not to find out. As long as you think about this kind of thing, you can know what will happen to that girl, and the husband and wife are not stupid, how can they not have a seizure at the time, and then find it unpleasant later? ”

Xue Huaidao: "The husband and wife also knew what their daughter was doing when she was taken by Yu is Huan, but no one knew that she was abducted and trafficked at that time, and no one could say wrong what a son did to his subordinates." ”

In the eyes of the master, the miscellaneous slave is just an object for sale, and how many people can stop it from doing something to the object? This kind of thing can only knock out the teeth and swallow it in the stomach.

"They found out about the injuries on their daughter's body," Xue Huai said, his face became embarrassed, "It is said that Yu Shihuan has some strange habits. ”

He wanted to say it more clearly, but he thought that this Master Qiao was just a girl who had not yet reached the end of his life, and he was a man, and he might not understand the meaning without such strange habits. So after thinking about it, he tried to explain again: "If you don't understand, you can go to a few Qinglou women and ask, some prostitutes like to ask people to prepare whips, candles and other things to abuse women, and even like to be beaten." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Huai became more and more embarrassed, ordinary people are embarrassed to say it, but some people in the world are still happy to do it.

The girl didn't react much to this, only thought about it for a while, and then continued: "You mean that the husband and wife feel sorry for their daughter, so they are jealous of Yu Shihuan, and they learned some unsightly secrets of Yu Shihuan from their daughter, and they are ready to denounce Yu Shihuan, so they were killed and killed." ”

Xue Huai said: "It should be like this. ”

"What do you mean?" The girl's eyebrows furrowed, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Xue Huai was already holding back his anger when he was asked, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "How can I know so much?" I am not in the same company as them. ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "But you know a lot." ”

When Xue Huai heard this, his heart jumped. lest she want to treat him as a suspect again, she hurriedly explained: "At that time, Yu Shihuan and their group of people didn't like me," Speaking of this, his tone was a little low, "But no matter what, my surname is also Xue, and it is rumored that I am going to attack the knight, and they don't dare to go too far, they only verbally humiliate and make fun of me, and often call me in the name of Mr. Li, and then make fun of me in person." It was at that time that I heard them casually mention the fire on the Baqiao, but I interrupted them just by mentioning Yu Shihuan. I saw that they were sneaky, so I kept an eye on them and ran a few times to Baqiao Alley and heard about them. ”

Qiao Ran said: "It was the husband and wife and an old servant who died, what about the girl?" ”

"Neighbors say they drowned long before the fire." Xue Huai said: "After that, I didn't check again, after all, it's not from the government, and if something happens to an ordinary person, how many people care?" How about Yu Shihuan's group of people? ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "Kun Zhi has detained you for so long for the death of a small guy, do you say that it is important for an ordinary person to have an accident?" ”

Xue Huai was a little aggrieved: In the past, he himself lifted the bar with others like a thorn, but the ability of Master Qiao in front of him to lift the bar was even better than him, but he was suffocated, and he couldn't beat her yet.

The girl didn't see his grievances, but after a brief pause, she continued to ask: "I will go to the Chang'an Mansion to inquire about this matter, what about other than this matter?" But what else? ”

Xue Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "I said Master Qiao, there are a lot of insults and bullies you said earlier, but I know enough people who kill people and set fires, you really think that I am with them!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be stupid, and there was a little more unknown comfort in his tone, "If it was really together, I would have died in Que Lou now." ”

The girl had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, only looked at him and did not say anything.

Xue Huai sat on the stone bed, leaned his neck and shouted: "I told you everything I know, and there is nothing else." ”

The girl examined him for a moment, turned and walked out.

Seeing that she was about to leave without saying a word, Xue Huai was anxious, and hurriedly called out to stop her: "Hey, what about me?" ”

Qiao Ran glanced back at him strangely and said, "Naturally, you will continue to stay, otherwise you still want to go out?" ”

Xue Huai only felt a block in his chest.

The girl paused and laughed: "I'm just letting you out, do you dare to go out now?" ”

Xue Huai stopped talking: I'm afraid I don't know how I died when I go out now, and I still go out?

…… chamberlain

It's already time to get out of the prison, and there is still an hour before the rounding off, Qiao Ran went to Zhen Shiyuan to pick up Xiaobai.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhen Shiyuan squatting on the ground, holding an oiled paper bag in his hand and feeding Xiaobai.

Xiaobai only licked his paws to himself, and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Qiao Ran coughed, walked in, and shouted "Adult".

Zhen Shiyuan got up and wondered: "Why does it ignore me?" ”

Qiao Ran said, "I don't know. ”

Cats are creatures that have always been like this, taking care of themselves, and taking care of you when they are happy, but if they are not happy, they will not give you a look.

But what most people like is its tsundere look.

Zhen Shiyuan, who was completely rejected, handed the oiled paper bag in his hand to Qiao Ran, and said, "Let the people in the canteen cook the white water chicken, you can feed it!" ”

This cat is not close to him, Zhen Shiyuan worked hard, and had to give up.

Qiao Ran took the oil paper bag and squatted down, tore a piece of it and put it to Xiaobai's mouth, and when she saw it take it, she said, "Lord Zhen, I helped you avenge when I went to see Xue Huai just now." ”

What do you say...... Zhen Shiyuan coughed dryly, instinctively looked left and right, and said, "Don't say that, it's as if the official is stingy." ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said: "I used the way of others to treat his body, and after rectifying him, he obediently cooperated." ”

Is it to raise the bar with Xue Huai? Thinking of such scenes, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, but he still said with a serious face: "It's all for Your Majesty, in order to find out the truth, it is best for him to be willing to cooperate with nature, it doesn't matter what means you use." ”

Xiaobai had finished eating while speaking, Qiao Ran tore another piece and handed it to its mouth, and when she saw it open her mouth to take it, she continued: "This person is really a little clever as you say, and he hides it, and when he asks today, he really said something." ”

Zhen Shiyuan's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly when he heard this: "What's the matter?" "There are really things that Xue Huai didn't explain before.

"It was two years ago that Yu Shihuan and some people killed people and set fires." Qiao Ran said, "It's about an ordinary person, the government should have a record of the fire, tomorrow I will go to the government office, and ask Lord He to transfer the file to take a look at the specific process." ”

"That's a good thing!" Zhen Shiyuan sighed with emotion, then straightened up and squatted down again, looking at the little white eating happily, he couldn't help but say: "Why does it only eat what you feed and not what I feed?" ”

Talking about the case well, suddenly such a sentence came, Qiao Ran looked at Xiao Bai who meowed at her twice after eating and begging for chicken for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, probably I like it!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan pursed his lips and expressed dissatisfaction: "This cat is also superficial, he only likes good-looking, but he doesn't know that the old man was also handsome and extraordinary when he was young." ”

Qiao Ran looked at Zhen Shiyuan's face that had been sharpened by the pig-killing knife of the years, did not take this stubble, paused, and said: "This is indeed a good thing, but according to Xue Huai, Yu Shihuan has already wiped out that family." ”

Zhen Shiyuan looked at Xiaobai who was eating without blinking a pair of eyes, and said, "Maybe there are fish that have slipped through the net!" ”

Qiao Ran's action of feeding Xiaobai stopped, and after a pause, he spoke: "I don't think Que Lou's murder is like an ordinary person can do it. ”

Not only to kill people, but also to arrange the tower into eighteen hells. In modern times, she has not seen such a murderer with a sense of ritual, but it is assisted by various tools. Right now, in Dachu, can ordinary people really solve so many people and do this kind of thing?

Zhen Shiyuan was silent, and after a while, he glanced at her and said, "Do you think there is a problem?" ”

Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Such a reason is enough for Yu is to be tricked, but after killing so many people in Que Lou at once, I only think that this kind of hatred doesn't seem to be enough to support such a troublesome revenge." ”

Zhen Shiyuan pondered, and after a while, he said: "Xue Huai is not familiar with them after all, maybe there are other arson cases involved." You might as well go to Chang'an Mansion tomorrow to have a look, maybe you will have other gains. By the way, where did you come from, this cat? The old man also wanted to get one to raise. ”

It's the first time he's found this kind of soft ball-like little thing that meows cutely!

Qiao Ran said: "Second Prince Xu got it there." She said as she raised her hand to hold Xiaobai's face, and pointed to the blue eyes to Zhen Shiyuan, "According to Xu Hexiu, this cat was picked up by Xu Ergongzi on the road." ”

"Picked up?" Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but let out a soft snort, and couldn't help but sigh at those faint blue eyes, "Can this kind of cat of the same breed be picked up by the same state?" ”

Qiao Ran held Xiaobai's face and said: "I think the same way, among the six people who died in the punishment of skinning and copper pillars, Yu is happy to insult people, kill people and set fires, and bully the weak, and Xu Heming has not found anything else, but he has picked up a cat that seems to be from outside the Central Plains." ”

"What you're saying is suspicious." Zhen Shiyuan said, seeing the girl who was still holding Xiaobai and not letting it eat meat, he couldn't help but remind her: "It still wants to eat, don't hold it and don't let it eat!" ”

This cat is really different: the good eater is caught and does not let her eat, and only meows at her, but no matter how he eats and drinks, he just ignores him.

Zhen Shiyuan sighed: The same people don't have the same life!

Still sighing, the girl let go of Xiaobai, continued to feed, and spoke up again: "Qiao Shu seems to have no intersection with these people at present, so his evidence is available." He said that he had seen Zhu Zhicheng and Yu are discussing the matter of Que Lou in the middle of the night, and Xue Huai's confession when he was accused of killing Kun coincided with this. Therefore, can it be determined that it was actually Zhu Zhicheng, Yu Shihuan, who were watching the painting in the middle of the night, and Xu Heming, who asked Kunzhi to report false news, who cut off the bridge, originally planned to do one thing. ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "According to what you say, there is something they did that can confirm your speculation. ”

There was a bit of coolness in the girl's cold voice: "Trial kills." ”

Not bad, killing.

"So, if you speculate like this, the murderer is still among the corpses in the Que Tower." Zhen Shiyuan said, "Maybe they were going to do another thing but fell into the trap of the murderer." ”

Praying mantis catches cicadas, and it is not uncommon for yellow finches to be in the back.

"Your Excellency has a point." Qiao Ran said, "Now there is evidence to prove that Yu Shihuan, Xu Heming, and Zhu Zhicheng, who knew early on that the bridge would break, died of the punishment of skinning and copper pillars that could not commit suicide, so they are the ultimate murderers, and this cannot stand firmly." ”

The case is becoming more and more like a flower in a fog, and people can't see through it. Zhen Shiyuan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed with emotion: "This official is really getting more and more confused, and it is the first time he has encountered such a bizarre case for many years!" ”
