It is indeed a blessing to have an empathetic Shangfeng, Qiao Ran was walking on the street while eating the food handed over by Pei Qingqing.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turns cooler, and there are more and more pedestrians walking on the streets. Therefore, it is not surprising that Qiao Ran, who went out to investigate the case, would meet Pei Qingqing, who also sneaked out to buy food to enrich the snack purse she carried with her.

This is not the first time she has met Miss Qiao, so Pei Qingqing is not surprised at all, and warmly invites her to taste the candied candied fruit she just bought.

"Not bad." Qiao Ran didn't grab food with Pei Qingqing anymore, but asked her with a smile, "Why did you come here to buy candied fruit?" ”

Pei Qingqing pouted and said, "There is a new dim sum shop here, come and try it." ”

She pointed to a dim sum shop that had just opened not far ahead, and the master of the dim sum shop had good skills, but unfortunately he didn't have much money, and the shop was opened near the west of the city.

More than half of the people in this neighborhood are people who live a somewhat tight life, and they are naturally not so enthusiastic about such non-essential expenses other than three meals a day.

I don't know where she got such well-informed news, this place is close to the Lingqu River, so far away from where they live, and the dim sum shop has no name, and it is a shame that she got the news so quickly and rushed to buy it.

"If this is opened in the east of the city, the price will have to rise several times." Pei Qingqing's large and small pockets were already filled with the candied fruit she had just bought, but she still glanced at the dim sum shop in front of her with some reluctance.

I knew that the candied fruit here was so delicious, she should have brought a bag to pack it.

"When word of mouth spreads, the price will also rise." Qiao Ran said, "It's just slower." ”

As long as the dim sum made by the dim sum shop is delicious enough, it will spread, after all, there is a saying that "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley".

This principle should work elsewhere, such as what she is doing: investigating cases. A female official of Dali Temple who has repeatedly solved strange cases can finally spread her name all over Chang'an City.

Of course, it is enough to see this from the night of Princess Baling's accident, the Xiao Gong Guild brought her over.

Someone is already paying attention to her.

Even if the concern is malicious?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile. Just as they were about to say something, there was some noise in front of them, and several people pushed and shoved out of the jade shop next to the dim sum shop, and then walked towards them.

When she came out today, she deliberately changed into her regular clothes, after all, the official robe of Dali Temple, except for the aunt who sat on the bridge and chatted "ugly", others would immediately guess her identity as long as they saw it.

And today, she doesn't want to reveal her identity.

The group didn't know them, of course, and they passed by them while talking.

What "expensive" and "jade is worth this price" and the like floated into my ears in twos and threes.

It's probably a bargain for buying and selling jade, after all, the range of bargaining for such a valuable thing as jade is really not small.

Qiao Ran took Pei Qingqing and took two more steps, suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look as if he remembered someone for a moment.

"Miss Joe?" Pei Qingqing secretly threw a candied fruit into her mouth, looked at her line of sight, and saw that she was looking at the group of people who had just passed.

Qiao Ran didn't say anything else, just smiled and said to her, "It's nothing, you go home!" ”

"Are you really okay?" Pei Qingqing blinked, her gaze swept over the few people who passed by, and then asked her again, "Don't you need help?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head and said, "No, you go home first!" I still have some things. ”

She didn't plan to do anything alone now, she just wanted to go to the bridge and ask the group of big ladies who were chatting at the bridge all day long.

Pei Qingqing sighed, and then turned around and left.

After seeing her leave, Qiao Ran walked towards the vicinity of the Shanyuan Bridge, which was being repaired.

……

After eating at noon, there were still a few ladies sitting on the mazar chatting and gossiping while watching people build bridges.

"This bridge was first built five years ago......"

The little thing is said over and over again, and the ears of those who listen to it are almost calloused.

Passers-by who often pass by here can't help but cover their ears, as if they don't want to be poisoned anymore.

However, there are still people who don't believe in evil and actually stop.

The eldest lady who was talking about it looked at the girl who came to her, was stunned, and slapped her head and shouted, "You are the girl from yesterday!" ”

It's the ugly one who wore it yesterday! I changed my outfit today, although it doesn't look very good, but fortunately, the person is good-looking, and the clothes look a lot better.

Seeing that she took the initiative to stop, the eldest lady said curiously: "What are you going to ask again?" ”

Yesterday I asked where the good people lived, but what about today?

"I want to ask about five years ago." The girl was not so particular, leaning on the bridge pier stone on the side and looking at the ladies with a smile, "I heard that a person had an accident while repairing the bridge five years ago. ”

"yes!" Someone took the initiative to hand over the call, but there was no answer. The eldest lady paused, and then opened her mouth and said, "Five years ago, when the bridge was repaired, there was a Taoist priest who said that the bridge could be repaired, but before the bridge was repaired, something should be sent to the river god to avoid angering the river god." ”

The sacrifices were all out. Qiao Ran laughed and continued to ask her, "Then what did he say he was going to sacrifice?" ”

The eldest lady said: "It's gold." The Taoist priest said that the river god is a dragon body, and the dragon is wealthy, so he has to sacrifice a few boxes of gold to go down, and the river god can continue to build the bridge when he is happy. ”

Qiao Ran listened to it, seemed to be interested, and continued to ask: "Did you give it then?" ”

"Qian Dashan said that what the Yin and Yang Division has not mentioned can be accurate? Don't bother. The lady looked around mysteriously as she spoke, and then lowered her voice and said to her, "A few days after this, the son of Qian Dashan had an accident when he passed by the vicinity of the Shanyuan Bridge that he funded and repaired, so this really can't help but believe in evil!" ”

"I was kind enough to build a bridge, but I lost the life of my only son because of this incident, and it's pitiful." Qiao Ranying sighed kindly.

"Who's to say it isn't?" It's rare to meet someone who cooperates with her so much, the eldest lady sighed, "But in addition to the Qian family's father and son, the Taoist priest of Youfang is also quite pitiful." After the accident of Qian Dashanren's son, the Taoist priest of Youfang changed his face on the spot when he heard the news, and then went out of the city overnight, but he encountered an accident and was besieged by hungry wolves. Everyone said that he had leaked the secret of heaven and was punished by heaven. ”

Two people died before the bridge was built, but the bridge collapsed in only five years.

"Don't say any more, be careful to get the trouble out of your mouth!" Someone came over and drank the aunt who wanted to continue.

Qiao Ran turned around, and what caught his eye was a large scar, the old wounds snaked like earthworms on his face, and he could barely see the true face of this person.

At first glance, Qiao Ran was startled when she saw such a face.

"Leper head, don't come out and be scared!" The eldest lady who often sits here is not afraid of this person, and after snorting, she said to Qiao Ran, "This is the foreman who repairs the bridge, you don't see that he looks scary, but he has a good hand, so several good people specially invited him to build this bridge!" ”
