Because he had already found what he was looking for, on the way back, he called Pingzhuang by the way, so that he didn't have to continue to check.

Pingzhuang, who was sweating on a heavy wind and running, looked at Qiao Ran and Tang Zhongyuan, who were refreshing in front of him, and was puzzled: "You guys are too lucky, right, just found one?" I've almost run through a few pharmacies. ”

Qiao Ran replied casually, looking down at the words in the account book in his hand: a beautiful handwriting is particularly outstanding among the signatures.

In her inference, it should be Yu Shihuan and others who buy spices that fascinate people, and for Yu Shihuan and others who pay attention to everything and do not understand ordinary things, the convenience of buying things is naturally the most important, otherwise where did Huiyuanfang's business come from?

Therefore, taking the lead in returning to Yuanfang is both luck and a little bit of inference.

Of course, the answer did not disappoint her, such a beautiful book is obviously quite a bit of skill, coincidentally, she saw Yu Shihuan's painting in the middle of the night yesterday, and naturally did not miss his signature on the painting.

Such a flowing handwriting is rough and rough, and at first glance, it seems to be written by a person, and it seems to be confirmed that it was Yu Shihuan and others who brought things up the mountain.

As for why you should bring such a thing up the mountain...... Qiao Ran snorted lightly: Didn't the shopkeeper of Huiyuanfang already say it? Sometimes, when the literati ran out of inspiration, they would use these things to do something unseemly.

And to break the bridge, I think that Yu Shihuan and others are preparing to gather everyone in the heavenly palace, hoping to make one or two masterpieces of creation.

If she doesn't do this kind of thing, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand, nor does it mean that she doesn't know. After all, places like the Speculative Hall and the Chongwen Hall are staged every day.

And this reason can be explained even in front of people.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether there is this reason in this case, the account books of Huiyuanfang have been able to prove that Yu Shihuan and others brought a large amount of spices, but the original things for fun were used by Hu Yuanzi to kill people, and it was not others who arranged the secret room, it was Yu Shihuan and others.

The victim secretly helped the murderer, who committed suicide in the end, leaving them with a foggy crime scene.

But fortunately, the available evidence can still deduce the original story.

There is Xue Huai's testimony in hand, which should be able to be explained.

But these are just corroborations, and what really supports her inference is still that person, the woman who killed Kun Zhi and was deduced by her as a fine work.

Originally, the matter went to this point, but it was a needle in a haystack, but because of Xie Chengze, who suddenly disappeared, it didn't seem that he had no clue to find the woman.

I really didn't expect this case to be pushed back and forth, and in the end, it was pushed to find Xie Chengze.

So, is this a different path? Qiao Ran said self-deprecatingly.

Seeing that the girl suddenly stopped talking, after waiting for a while, Pingzhuang couldn't help but urge her: "Master Qiao, then I found the evidence, where should I wait now?" Go back to Dali Temple? ”

Qiao Ran thought about it, shook her head and said, "No, go to Xie's house." ”

What she is looking for now is Xie Chengze, so naturally she will go to Xie's house again.

In this regard, Pingzhuang was very puzzled: "Didn't you go to Xie's house yesterday?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "Yesterday I went to see dead things, and today I want to see living things." ”

The girl said and looked up at the sun.

It's not noon yet, it's not like I went to Xie's house in the middle of the night yesterday, and I went to visit Xie's house at this time, and I thought I could see Mr. Xie's family.

After all, the only son is still locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, and whether Master Xie is willing or not, he always has to give face to Dali Temple.

……

At noon, the yamen of Dali Temple was empty, Zhen Shiyuan came out of the canteen with a lunch box, and when he saw the girl sitting in the hall, he couldn't help sighing, and stepped forward to persuade: "Miss Xu Shi, if you have to wait for the news of Lord Xie, it's the same if you go back and wait." With Lord Xiao Xu here, the news I received in Dali Temple may not be much faster than yours. ”

Having heard a few officials who stayed in the yamen come in and said that Miss Xu Shi was here and sitting in the lobby, he guessed that most of them were related to Xie Chengze.

It was a pair of pro-male talents, talented women, and quite good family backgrounds and childhood sweethearts, but now Xie Chengze has an accident, if Miss Xu Shi doesn't say anything, it's weird!

"Thank you, Lord Zhen." Miss Xu Shi, who was sitting in Xu Hexiu's seat, got up and bowed to him, and said, "However, although I came here to wait for news from Chengze, it is not the main thing, I am here for Lord Qiao," the girl said and paused, as if it was also a little strange, "They said that Lord Qiao went out to investigate the case, so let me wait here." ”

I'm actually looking for that girl! Zhen Shiyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, thought about it, and said, "Then why don't you stay here and wait, she has always done things very quickly, and she will come back when she finishes it." ”

Miss Xu Shi laughed when she heard this, and said, "I heard my cousin say that Master Qiao is vigorous and resolute, and he is very cool. ”

Zhen Shiyuan nodded, and said again, "If you are hungry, you can go to the canteen", and then turned around and went back to the office room.

He really has nothing to say to these young girls, and as for the girl surnamed Qiao, she is an exception, as long as she talks about the case, she can talk to anyone.

I don't know how she went to check.

……

Pingzhuang didn't believe those colleagues who laughed at Master Qiao's "Wang case", even if they went to find evidence together, he ran to a few pharmacies and found nothing, she went to the first one and directly found what she wanted, which can only be attributed to occasional luck.

But right now, he saw it clearly, she just said on the front foot that she wanted to see if Master Xie was there, and on the back foot, she saw an old man who came out of the door of the Xie family's mansion and was about to go out.

Seeing the child holding the "sign" in front of him, he asked with a smile: "This master of the Xie family, is the old man Xie here?" ”

The old man of the Xie family changed his face slightly at the sign, and then said "I am" in a deep voice, Pingzhuang was completely stunned.

That's really ...... What are you looking for?

It's just a dead thing, but the living can come to the door by themselves.

"Dali Temple Qiao Ran." The girl was not surprised at all, and raised her hand slightly towards the old man of the Xie family, which was considered a salute.

Master Xie raised his hand and returned the salute: "I have admired Lord Qiao's name for a long time, but I don't know what happened to the door today?" ”

The girl smiled, her peach blossom eyes crooked, and she opened her mouth to spit out two words.

"Guess!"

Hearing these two words, Master Xie almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

What does he call guessing? He has lived most of his life, and it is the first time he has met a dignified court official who asked him to guess.

It's just that the other party is committing murder, even so, he still has to give her face.

So, Master Xie made a straight face and said, "I guess Master Qiao is here for the dog." ”

Although Dali Temple does not treat prisoners harshly, compared to other yamen, the wind evaluation is good, but it has been closed for so long, and he feels distressed when he thinks of what Yi'er suffered in prison.

This time, the other party suddenly came to the door, and he naturally thought about it at once.

The girl smiled, opened her mouth and said, "Guess again!" ”

Master Xie's face stiffened slightly.

For a moment, there was an inexplicable feeling, as if the person standing in front of him was not a serious Dali Temple official, but an ignorant child. If Zhen Shiyuan is like that, how dare he guess like this?

Pingzhuang was almost unrestrained when the girl opened her mouth "guess", but fortunately, after a few days of assault, he is no longer what it used to be, even if the person in front of him said how shocking the world, it is also his own peak, a qualified Dali Temple official must learn to treat himself as blind in a timely manner.

"What's that for?" Master Xie smiled dryly, "It's really impossible for people to guess." ”

When the girl heard this, she glanced at him casually and said, "You don't know that your nephew has an accident?" ”

Master Xie's face was a little ugly: there was only one son under his name, but there were a bunch of nephews, descendants, concubines, and even side branches, and he couldn't count them, how could he know which one had an accident?

The girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his reaction, and raised her voice: "Even Old Lady Xie knows about Xie Chengze's disappearance, Master Xie, don't you know?" ”

Master Xie's face was a little ugly when he heard this, but in the end, he still smiled dryly: "I was delayed yesterday for some things, and I was not in the house, and I didn't come back until this morning." ”

The girl lazily answered, stretched out her hand and fanned in front of her, and said, "Oh, I've walked all the way, and I'm tired and thirsty." ”

I've seen someone who takes the initiative to "eat", so active, Rao is the first time Master Xie has seen it, but since the other party has opened his mouth, his Xie family also wants face, so Master Xie said: "If Master Qiao doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat in the house." ”

"Thank you very much." The girl said and pointed to Tang Zhongyuan and Pingzhuang behind her, and said unceremoniously, "I'm with my two officials, and Master Xie can just add a few more dishes." ”

Pingzhuang lowered his eyes, learning from Tang Zhongyuan to look down at his toes and turn a blind eye.

It turns out that it is not entirely bad to follow out to run errands, at least there will be no shortage of food. I used to eat the food of Nanji Shop, but while eating, Nanji Shop was "eaten" by her, and now it is the turn to eat the Xie family, no, to be precise, it is not the Xie family, it is the food of the Xie family's room.

After all, how can Zhong Ming Ding Food House really only add a few more dishes? Pingzhuang and Tang Zhongyuan were arranged at the side table and bowed their heads to eat.

The main seat was empty, and there was "Ru I come in person" on the chair, and under the gaze of "Your Majesty", Lord Qiao, Lord Xie, and Mrs. Xie who was called out sat on the main seat and greeted each other while eating.

"Master Xie is so polite, just add two more dishes." The girl touched her stomach and blushed, "I'm a little hungry after running all morning, I'm really embarrassed." ”

If I was really embarrassed, I wouldn't ask for it.

Mrs. Xie smiled and didn't answer, with Master Xie present, she didn't need to say much as a woman. Not to mention...... The corner of Mrs. Xie's eyes swept over the "Ru I am here" placed on the main seat, and it is better to say less at this time.

Master Xie returned a polite word, only moved a few chopsticks, then stopped, and then bowed his head to drink.

When the girl had almost eaten, she put down her chopsticks, held the teacup, and said with a smile: "The news of Lord Xie's accident came down yesterday, and Mrs. Xie has already asked people to help search in the city, I came to ask if there is any news about Lord Xie." ”

When Master Xie heard this, he said lightly: "The family has not heard the news of Cheng Ze's return. ”

The girl turned the tea cup in her hand, paused slightly on Master Xie's indifferent face, and suddenly said: "Yesterday, the city was almost all over, where did Master Xie go, didn't you hear the movement in the city?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mr. Xie's face: "I went out to visit friends and drank a few more drinks." ”

The girl's eyes fell on the red mark on his neck, and she seemed to smile: "The eldest master is an elegant person." ”

In the corner of her eye, Mrs. Xie's face was pale and very ugly.

Qiao Ran accepted it when she saw it, got up with a smile and said: "Old lady Xie allows me to enter and leave his yard at any time before I find Lord Xie, I will take someone to see it again, thank you for your hospitality today, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely invite this meal back." ”

Master Xie said coldly, "No need", Qiao Ran didn't care about his action of not getting up to send him off, picked up the sign, and walked out of the courtyard of the Xie family's room with Tang Zhongyuan and Pingzhuang, who were full of food and drink.

The front foot stepped out of the courtyard door, and the back foot heard a chaotic noise from the courtyard, as if something was being overturned.

Pingzhuang, who had been holding back a meal, couldn't help it anymore, and as soon as he got out of the hospital, he let out a long breath and said, "Master Qiao, what the city turned like this yesterday even ordinary people know, this Master Xie actually doesn't know!" Looking at the red marks on his neck again, he knew that he was with a woman, and he was drunk and gentle, and he didn't even notice the movement outside. ”

Qiao Ran snorted and said, "The Qinglou brothel that can be Tibetan was also turned over yesterday, but Master Xie didn't know, I thought it was to raise the outer room, and I am afraid that the two in the courtyard are going to fight." ”

When Pingzhuang heard this, he glanced at her and disagreed: "Lord Qiao, it's not good to ruin people's marriages!" ”

When the girl heard this, she just lazily replied: "Don't worry, this marriage can't be ruined." ”

The relationship between Master Xie and Mrs. Xie is not something that can be ruined by a small fight.

However, it is rumored that Master Xie Chengze, who was able to go to Jinling to find the lost Xie Chengze for more than half a month, was too indifferent to Xie Chengze's disappearance! The indifference is a little counterintuitive.

"I just told the truth," the girl said and walked towards Xie Chengze's courtyard with the two of them in her hands, "Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie are really strange about Xie Chengze's disappearance, if the two of them are good, how can they be willing to tell the truth to the outside world?" "At this time, it is better to provoke Mrs. Xie, after all, the only son of these two, Xie Yi, is currently in prison, and I don't know if I can release it.

I don't know how many years Master Xie's outer room has been raised, and I think that Mrs. Xie is also very afraid that Master Xie will suddenly bring her a "surprise".

There are those who "like to be a father", and there are those who "like to be a mother".

The marriage between the two can't be ruined, but if Xie Yi is abolished, Mrs. Xie, a "cheap girl", has to do it if she doesn't do it. After all, nephews are always inferior to their own sons!
