It is not easy to find this kind of person in the rivers and lakes who sees the head and the tail of the dragon, but Zhang Xie should have a way to find him.

Just as she has many secrets of her own, so does Zhang Jie. If this is not the case, how can an orphan of the Zhang family who has lost his backing be able to stand in Chang'an City, which is surrounded by wolves?

A person shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family always has to do much more than an ordinary child of the family.

It was useless for them to say more about Xinlou here, so after a pause, Qiao Ran opened his mouth and talked about today's Lishan line.

"That old man looks like a fairy drawn by Danqing painters without making a sound," After describing the old man's appearance in detail, Qiao Ran frowned slightly, "There are no moles or spots on the face, and there are no side features, so it is better to draw it." "But she is not good at drawing, let alone painting people, even drawing cats and dogs, Pei Qingqing is better than her.

And in the end, this matter is a private matter, if you really go to Dali Temple to trouble the little officials who paint portraits, one seems to be unreasonable, and the other will inevitably attract Zhen Shiyuan's questioning. Recently, Zhen Shiyuan has been busy with the affairs of Yuanheng Qianzhuang, and there is really no need to trouble him because of these things. So...... Well, Zhang Jie's portrait painting is good or not, at least he can recognize the person in the painting.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Zhang Xie immediately responded and said, "Leave this matter to me." ”

Qiao Ran hummed, and said what the old man said later, and then said, "...... In short, except for Pei Qingqing, these people have been told by him. I'm okay, Hongdou, Doctor Feng and Tang Zhongyuan are not in a good mood, I thought about it, so I disguised myself and stole it...... Oh, I borrowed Tang Zhongyuan's clothes hanging in the yard and came out to look for you. ”

Zhang Xie looked at the slightly ill-fitting clothes on her body, paused, and asked her, "Didn't Pei Qingqing find out?" ”

"She drank too much sugar ball pheasant soup and ate a bad stomach, and when I came out, she was still calling in the thatched house!" The girl said with a hint of color on her face, and Su Rili's calm appearance had a little more of the aura of the little daughter, "I found that only Xiaobai came out, but I helped it smooth its hair, and it didn't make a sound." ”

Thinking of her physique, which is quite popular with animals, Zhang Xie couldn't help laughing twice, and after a pause, his eyes fell on her face that was still beautiful even though she was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, and said: "I'll give you two pigeons, you keep them at home, and if you want to find me in the future, you don't have to come out alone in the middle of the night, and I will come back when I see pigeons." ”

This sounds good, Qiao Ran thought about it, said yes, and then said: "I will tell Hongdou and Pei Qingqing to let them stop the idea of beating pigeons." ”

Zhang Xie laughed again, and a hint of softness flashed in his eyes when he looked over: "I think what you need to tell most is not Hongdou or Pei Qingqing, but that Xiaobai." ”

It is the nature of cats to catch birds, and they were really caught by the white cat, I am afraid that there is no second cat in the whole family except Pei Qingqing who can catch pigeons.

Qiao Ran held back a smile and said "yes" in a low voice, almost forgetting this stubble, it seems that she is going to let Pei Qingqing take a good look at Xiaobai when she goes back.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about these things for the time being, everything is still with me." The girl's slightly frowning eyebrows always made him have an urge to reach out to smooth her, in fact, he did the same, the warm touch of the tentacles made him feel a little hot at his fingertips, took a deep breath, he withdrew his hand, looked at her, and said: "Since I saw you, I won't go in, you go home!" ”

Qiao Ran nodded: She was also going to look for him when she came out, but since she found him, there was indeed no need to go again.

Turning around and taking two steps, the girl stopped.

Zhang Xie stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at her, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

The girl shook her head and said to him, "You can go back too, it's late." ”

She was only a few steps away from home, but it was still far from this alley to the Heavenly Master Dao. Of course, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are officers and soldiers patrolling all night, Zhang Xie has a special identity, and he is not without the ability to protect himself, so he is not afraid to walk alone at night, but it is also very late now. The group of men in Dali Temple shouted all day long that it was unsafe for men to go out alone, Qiao Ran felt that most of them looked very safe, and only Zhang Xie was really rare. Even if she is stripped of the idea of "Xi Shi in the eyes of her lover", anyone else thinks the same.

Zhang Xie nodded and said "yes", but he still didn't move, knowing: "I'll go back when I see you enter the door." ”

The girl didn't say anything else, but quickened her pace, and after a few dozen paces she stood still at the door, waved her hand at him, and strode into the door.

In the night breeze, Hongdou exclaimed, "Miss, where have you been" and Tang Zhongyuan's muttered "I said why the clothes are gone" The voice came, and the girl's low reassuring voice and one or two meows made Zhang Xie chuckle twice, turned around and was about to leave, when at this moment, a soft sedan chair appeared in the field of vision at the end of the road.

The dazzling red color was a little dazzling in the night, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes that were still smiling before, and he didn't move under his feet, watching the soft sedan chair slowly come this way.

I haven't seen this soft sedan chair in the night of Chang'an City for a long time. Zhang Xie narrowed his eyes

I've heard that this person is back, but I haven't seen him, but I didn't expect to see him tonight.

……

……

The next day was a good day, and the red beans who got up early to cook couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the girl standing in the courtyard in a Dali Temple official robe, and then hurriedly went into the kitchen.

I almost forgot that Miss's false accusation was yesterday, and today I am going to go to the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Approaching the end of the year, Dali Temple did not make any new cases, but there are still a lot of trivial things, such as the New Year's Dinner, a year of official assessment or something, are all small things with sesame seeds, but it is extremely time-consuming to be busy, and unconsciously a day is busy.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and when I walked into Dali Temple, it was no different from before the leave, and I learned that Zhen Shiyuan took Xu Hexiu out early in the morning, so Qiao Ran was ready to go to the warehouse to borrow a few files to pass the time, and by the way, he went into the house where Zhen Shiyuan worked and rubbed the charcoal basin in the house.

Of course, there are a lot of charcoal basins in the lobby, but because they are empty and crowded, they are far less comfortable than the house where Zhen Shiyuan works, especially when this Shangfeng is not there, it is a good time to touch the fish.

I said hello to a few officials who had a good relationship, and when I was about to go out to the treasury through the middle hall, two small officials who dealt with the chores of Dali Temple came over and said to her with a smile: "The day of the New Year's dinner in Dali Temple is set, just five days later, the location is in Baisheng Building, and our adults will charter the venue!" ”

It can be seen with the naked eye that when the three words of Baishenglou are mentioned, the eyes of the two officials have begun to shine, and finally when the word "charter" is exported, one of them swallowed his saliva suspiciously.

Qiao Ran sighed in his heart, the man in Dali Temple really had an extraordinary yearning for food as always, so he said yes, and then went to the warehouse.

When she arrived at the warehouse, the little official who managed the warehouse said, "Lord Qiao", and stood on the wooden ladder, pointed to the record book on the table, and said to her: "Lord Qiao wants to borrow any files, just write them down, I will be busy sorting out the warehouse, so I won't help you find it." As he spoke, he held a feather duster in one hand and a cloth in the other, and continued to step on the wooden ladder and began to clean.

At the end of the year, many books are covered with dust, and they need to be cleaned.

As for Lord Qiao, he is also a frequent visitor, they are very relieved, anyway, where does Lord Qiao, who has the ability to never forget, need to steal the file? What dossier didn't become hers after she read it once? Therefore, there is no need to count Master Qiao in the matter of stealing the dossier. And looking for the file, it's a little embarrassing to say, with Lord Qiao's eyes, sometimes they forget the location of the file, Lord Qiao can remember it!

So for Master Joe, they are very relieved.

Qiao Ran responded, and did not disappoint them, walked through the warehouse, took away a few files, and then went to the record book to start recording, only to pick up the pen, scan the record in front of her, she was stunned, her eyes fell on one of the names did not move away, she didn't even turn around, so she asked the little official who cleaned the warehouse behind her: "Is Xie Chengze back on duty?" ”

In the previous case, Xie Chengze was arrested for several days, and Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her grandson so she asked him to raise it at home, and then came back to the Yamen of Dali Temple to do things after the New Year, and I heard that Xie Chengze did not object.

Therefore, I haven't seen Xie Chengze in the yamen of Dali Temple for a long time, so that Xu Hexiu, who likes to talk to Xie Chengze the most, has no object to confide in his "heart", and he is looking for people to talk to, which can make many officials in the lobby who are busy sorting out the things at hand miserable. I mentioned this stubble several times when I was eating in the canteen at noon, and I admired Lord Xie's ability, it was hard to be surprised by Lord Xu, who was really a disciple of the Xie family, and his connotation and cultivation were all first-rate in the world.

Qiao Ran remembered very well that he didn't see Xie Chengze in the middle of the office hall today, his seat was still empty, and the sundries that Xu Hexiu had secretly put up in front of the table had not yet moved.

The little clerk in the storeroom, who was stepping on the wooden ladder to dust the bookshelf, seemed to be startled by her sudden mention of the name, and then slapped his head suddenly, "Oh", and said, "Yes! Master Xie came over early today, but it was not a dossier that he borrowed, but some miscellaneous books that were not very important in the warehouse. ”

It is true that most of the treasury in Dali Temple is full of files, and there are also people, such as the Lord Qiao in front of him, who can read the files with relish as a book. But for most people, if they come to the treasury not to investigate the case and read the files, they are borrowing some important books that the Dali Temple has piled up in the treasury of Dali Temple at that time.

These books have nothing to do with solving cases at the moment, but several Dali Siqing, who are famous for their discernment and judgment, have said that it is impossible to speculate on the future at this time, so some popular wild histories, scripts or some important books are also crucial "files", which may be helpful for future generations to read old cases.

After this rule was set, the successive Dali Siqing have always adhered to this rule and have not changed. For example, Zhen Shiyuan put the "Scholar's Divine Biography" in the previous Xue Huai case into the warehouse, and in addition, the one who was "lucky" to be selected into the warehouse was Miss Xu Shi's masterpiece.

Being able to be stored in the treasury of Dali Temple in this way is really "flattering" for Qiao Ran.

She looked at the books borrowed by Xie Chengze, several of them were about the "wild history" of the previous emperors of Great Chu, of course, this "wild history" in addition to describing some of the emperor's daily life and words and deeds quirks that were not recorded in the official history, the most important part is mostly related to the emperor's "fragrant-glamorous" affairs.

Seeing that there were a lot of such books stored in the treasury of Dali Temple, Qiao Ran also asked Zhen Shiyuan, but Zhen Shiyuan gave her a look and said calmly: "Dali Temple Qing is also a person, always looking at the murder case or something, and after watching it for a long time, it can't help but be tired, it seems that this kind of thing happens to make people relax and relax." It means that after holding it for a long time, you can also read these books as a book.

Of course, Zhen Shiyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, is as painful as his predecessors. I didn't expect Xie Chengze to like such a book! Qiao Ran swept through the titles of these books and landed on the last one - "The Record of the Female Officials of Dali Temple".

This is the book that Miss Xu Shi wrote about her and Zhang Jie.

Actually, it wasn't originally called this name.,Those few books that aren't this name are still at home now! Later, Zhen Shiyuan came back from the court one day, and he didn't know which idle panicked colleague "clicked", and felt that Miss Xu Shi's words are so popular now, which is a good thing for Dali Temple, at least it may attract some talented people who are interested in investigating and investigating cases to find a way to enter Dali Temple.

As the secretary of Dali Temple, the more capable people in the yamen, the better.

Because of this thought, he felt that the name of the original book was not "stable" enough, so he specially found Miss Xu Shi and asked her to change the book to the current one. However, if you change the soup or the medicine, the content has not changed at all.

probably felt that Qiao Ran had been looking down at the record book for a long time, and the little official who had cleaned the bookshelf on the first floor thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I also like to read those wild histories, and some of them are even more fragrant than those in the book-Yan, oh, no, it is uninhibited." ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him: this is really a careless moment to say the truth out of his mouth.

"It's normal for Lord Xie to like this, after all, recuperation is always boring." The little official said with a smile, "But he also borrowed the book that wrote your words, I think it's because of Miss Xu Shi's relationship!" ”

After all, Miss Xu Shi's move to scatter all her family wealth for her "fiancé" was revealed by someone, and since then, many men in Chang'an City have been "envious", and they have complained to their wives when they went back, and then, unexpectedly, they were beaten badly, the reason is "Look at what kind of appearance and what kind of ability of the son of the Xie family, you look at you like that, and you are embarrassed to ask the old lady to scatter all the family wealth"?

I heard that because of this, there were a few days when I went to the Chang'an Mansion to report to the official that it was almost overcrowded, and it was not until these two days that it got better.

There is such a person who envies his fiancée who values love and righteousness, and he always has to care more! The little official thought to himself.
