"Does Miss Qiao know Miss Xu Shi?" Qiao Shu held the teacup and said.

Hongdou shook his head: "I haven't seen Shangjia, I shouldn't know it!" ”

I don't know! Qiao Shu sighed and didn't continue to ask.

Miss Qiao is always better than him, even if there is any trouble, she can solve it. Just like the original home...... Qiao Shu's finger bones holding the teacup were white, Su Rili stayed in Guozijian and didn't go out, Hongdou had to mention "don't run around" every time he came to see him, not only that, but also asked the classmates around him if he was walking around.

His classmates who saw this move sighed that he "his family really values his studies", but he knew that it was not because of this. It's because of the Jiao family.

Miss Qiao must have instructed Hongdou before leaving, and Hongdou has always believed in Miss Qiao's words. Miss Qiao felt that he would run around and go to Jiao's house...... Qiao Shu's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly: Miss Qiao was really right, when he came back today, he stopped when he walked to the Heavenly Master Dao.

He didn't know why, but probably ...... After all, you still want to go in and have a look? Of course, in the end, he didn't do anything, and the Heavenly Master Dao Jiao family would not let a student of Guozijian enter the door for no reason. He was nowhere near the point of dizziness.

He could only look at it. With a frown, he sighed as he held his teacup: he couldn't do anything now.

At this moment, Hongdou suddenly let out a "huh", and then exclaimed: "Is Miss Xu Shi the sister of Xu Gongzi?" The most famous Xu in the capital is Xu Gongzi's Xu! ”

Qiao Shu glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Miss Xu Shi may have heard about Miss Qiao from Xu Gongzi!" ”

"Then what kind of nonsense did he say, all nonsense!" Hongdou showed great dissatisfaction with this, "When I see that Xu Gongzi again in the future, I must say it well, obviously my uncle is rare and our young lady ......"

The little girl's muttering sounded back and forth in her ears, and Qiao Shu held the teacup and looked at the falling snow outside.

Since Miss Qiao left, the snow in Chang'an has not stopped. These days, Chang'an City is a rare silence, and even His Majesty, who has always been diligent, has stopped several times in the early court.

Such silence makes people who are used to the excitement of Chang'an City a little unaccustomed. Therefore, we organized people to prepare to go to Lishan to see the snow in a few days.

As far as he could see, this would probably be the largest number of people watching the snow since the beginning of winter!

If there are too many people, there will be miscellaneous things, and the discord between the children of those powerful people is not something he can mix, and he can't afford to mix it. Qiao Shu put down the teacup in his hand and opened the bookcase on the table.

So, it's a good idea to take advantage of these days to review your homework.

As a man, it is naturally impossible to rely on Miss Qiao for a lifetime, and Miss Qiao will not support him for a lifetime. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, he studies hard, even if he may not be able to soar with reading in the future, at least he can find something to do with literacy and hyphenation.

The charcoal pot in the house was not warm or cold, Fang Xiuting's flipping book, and the nagging sound of red beans muttering while holding the soles of her shoes sounded a different kind of tranquility for some reason at this time.

He clenched his fists and looked down at the book in his hand.

……

The heavy iron door was pushed open, and a damp musty smell of dampness that had not seen the light of day immediately poured out from the cell.

Qiao Ran's instinctive footsteps paused, and he casually took out a handkerchief and covered it on the mouth and nose of Pei Qingqing, who was pinching his nose on the side.

This is the prison of Shanxi Road.

It's dark, it's damp, and before you even go inside, you can see moss in the corners of the walls on both sides of the walkway.

Messy and uncomfortable.

Qiao Ran's slightly furrowed brows quickly stretched.

Perhaps, this is the prison that people talk about. The prisons she has seen in her days are all under the rule of Zhen Shiyuan, whether it is Jinling Mansion or Dali Temple, and it is located in Jinling, Chang'an and other prosperous places, they are all cleaned very cleanly, and the prison of the Criminal Department, which she has rarely been to once, is also an important place in the Yamen of the capital, so naturally it will not be sloppy.

Shanxi Road was originally intended to be a troubled place for bandits, not a rich place, and the local officials had "problems".

Probably noticing her frowning, Zhou Shilin touched the saber on his waist and said, "It's all a prison under their own rule, and they also take care of the mess by themselves, and they can't complain." ”

Those who are imprisoned are all criminals, and although some of them may be minor evils, they are always criminals, and very few people will cry out for prisoners.

Shanxi Road officials did not care or deliberately did so, and no one said a word "no".

I didn't expect that this time, Zhou Shilin, who looked at the "honest", would come to such a hand, and he stayed in the prison under his rule for so long, and I don't know how those officials felt.

This is quite a bit of a taste of "treating others in their own way", Qiao Ran took Pei Qingqing to follow Zhou Shilin.

Although the prison is messy, the lights on both sides of the road are lit, so it's okay to look at it, but the wet breath can't be solved for a while.

On the way to the detention of Fu Yin, Zhou Shilin was enthusiastic to introduce to her the civil and military officials on both sides of the prison who were sitting on the stone bed without prison clothes, with no spirit and pale faces, and the officials whose names were mentioned, raised their eyes to look at them, and quickly lowered their heads. A look of sorrow.

This surnamed Zhou didn't treat them well, three meals a day were delicious and delicious, but after staying in this kind of place for a long time, it really made people's hearts go crazy.

"This is the guard general of Shanxi Road, commanding the two guards here on Shanxi Road," Zhou Shilin pointed to the man who was squatting on the stone bed in the prison door, holding a rice bowl to eat, and said, "Before Zhou came, the entire Shanxi Road soldiers and horses were commanded by him." ”

That was originally the biggest local military attache on Shanxi Road, but now this military attache looks very bad, his hair is messy like weeds, and his beard is stubble, and he looks like he looks like a beggar from where he came from when he looks down to eat.

However, because of his identity, Qiao Ran still took a second look.

Pei Qingqing rubbed her nose and said, "Sweet and sour pork ribs, pour the sauce over bibimbap." ”

She could smell the smell in this prison, and although she wasn't hungry at the moment, she still swallowed her saliva subconsciously.

I don't know if it was because of Pei Qingqing's voice, the man who was originally holding the rice bowl and bowing his head to eat suddenly looked up and looked here.

Although it was just a glance, Qiao Ran still paused.

Hidden in the messy hair is a pair of extremely sharp eyes.

"After all, I'm just a suspect, and I'm all for people to eat and drink." Zhou Shilin waved his hand unimpressed when he heard this, and said.

It's just that I remember to wash up or something, and I forget it once a few days if I don't remember it. After being locked up for more than half a month, it was the most fierce scolding at the beginning, and the officials who threatened to play His Majesty also stopped their voices, ate and slept silently, and waited for Zhou Shilin to release them.

"The Grand Overseer is thoughtful." Qiao Ran nodded and looked at Zhou Shilin.

Although some of Zhou Shilin's actions seem a little ridiculous, they are thick and detailed, and there is no ambiguity or anything in major matters. If you eat and drink well, you don't treat people harshly, but in places like this prison, after not seeing the light of day for a long time, burnout will become more and more obvious.

Zhou Shilin's arrest of people is not only dragging, but also grinding, grinding people's will, seeing that this way, it can be seen that it is quite effective to be so quiet in the prison.

Just thinking that it was "quite effective", I heard a roar from the prison ahead.

"Zhou Shilin, your uncle!"

Qiao Ran: "......"

Zhou Shilin plucked his ears with his little finger and said disapprerovitically: "This is what you want to see." With that, he led the way into a cell where the door had already been opened.

Qiao Ran followed in.

The sight suddenly became brighter, not that there was anything special about this prison and other prisons, in fact, all the prisons were the same, the prison on Shanxi Road obviously did not mean to treat the prisoners well, except for the stone windows in the corridor, the rest of the prisons were dim, only the faint candles on the walls barely saw things.

And this prison is more than other prisons are two huge torches on the wall, and the torches are lit at this time, illuminating the whole prison.

Qiao Ran looked around the prison before he looked at the people in the prison again, and what he saw was a dense iron chain, one end fixed to the stone wall, and the other end wrapped around the hands and feet of the person sitting on the stone bed.

Of course, Zhou Shilin did not "treat" him harshly, the length of the chain was very long, except that he could not leave the cell at will, he was not subject to any restrictions.

At this time, the person sitting on the stone bed was holding a bowl and scolding.

"Your uncle's Zhou Shilin, I want to report to Your Majesty! You're arresting people indiscriminately! ”

"You're already playing." Zhou Shilin coughed and pierced his words mercilessly, and then pointed to Qiao Ran on the side and said, "No, this is the official sent by His Majesty!" ”

Seeing this, the man holding the rice bowl and pulling the rice immediately let out a sneer: "You are stupid for me!" I heard that this time it was a person from the ministry.,It's a very young offspring.,These two girls who popped up out of nowhere are men? ”

Zhou Shilin said: "That young descendant disappeared before he even stepped into Shanxi Road. ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to be a little incredulous: "How ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shilin shook his hand and said, "I know what you want to ask, it's that I met an assassin, his carriage rolled down the cliff, and the bones have not been found yet......"

The hand holding the rice bowl shook visibly, and then I saw the man quickly bow his head and take a bite of rice, and said, "...... Blame the pitiful. ”

After eating this bite, he raised his head and glared at Zhou Shilin: "Then Your Majesty didn't send another official over?" ”

"Sent." Zhou Shilin's expression was blank, and he said, "Compared to the one in front of me who still has a glimmer of life, this one is dead." ”

The man grabbed the rice bowl, even if he didn't care anymore, he was a little shocked at this time: "How can it be ......?"

Zhou Shilin said: "I have been here for less than three days, and I was originally going to come to see you the next day, but unfortunately I was assassinated at night." After that, he didn't forget to glance at him, "Whoever wants to come to see you will have an accident, you don't have a problem!" ”

Hearing this, the man was furious: "I'm locked up here by you, what's the problem?" After a pause, he couldn't help but say again, "Then let the officials send someone ......."

Zhou Shilin pinched his ears with his little finger and interrupted his words: "The officials are either missing or dead, it can be seen that this case is in conflict with the officials, and the feng shui is not good, so Your Majesty has sent Lord Qiao from Dali Temple to take over your case." ”

What the hell, investigating a case still depends on feng shui? The man rolled his eyes, and only then did his gaze fall on the two girls standing over there who did not speak, and he was silent, and asked, "Is it the big one!" ”

Zhou Shilin snorted and nodded: "This is the most important Lord Qiao in Dali Temple today, don't you look at her young, but she has experience in handling cases, and she will definitely be able to handle this errand." ”

The man tugged at the corners of his mouth, with a subtle expression on his face, and after staring at Qiao Ran for a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiao Ran: "What grade is she in Dali Temple now?" ”

Zhou Shilin turned his head to Qiao Ran and said, "Lord Qian asked you something!" ”

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said seriously: "Seven products." ”

"That's the one who just entered Dali Temple," the man's face sank when he heard this, and he grabbed his rice bowl again and lowered his head to pick up the rice, and didn't forget to mutter, "What are you kidding!" "Send a new official for this kind of thing? That's a lot of life!

"You know!" Zhou Shilin scolded him unceremoniously, and then looked at Qiao Ran expectantly.

Is she going to be angry when she is so slighted? Is it about to show your hand again? For some reason, I inexplicably gave birth to a little anticipation in my heart.

Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, then turned his head and asked Zhou Shilin, "What about that puppet?" ”

Don't you ask this Fu Yin? Zhou Shilin frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man who was picking up rice, and suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked here.

"I want that." The girl said seriously.

So, don't care about Lord Qian? Although Zhou Shilin likes to see the prickly head in the prison, he didn't forget to remind her at this time: "That pretentious act has something to do with Master Qian, and may also be suspicious." ”

"That's right." The girl nodded, pointed to the Lord Qian on the stone bed, and said, "If it is really as the Great Governor said, then the maid who married Mrs. Qian's favor is Lord Qian's own person, then Lord Qian must be the one who is in charge." In this case, as long as you pay close attention to Mr. Qian, then there will be a real problem and you won't be able to turn over the flowers. ”

Capture the thief first to capture the king, and vice versa.

"Besides, now is the time to employ people, and there is really no way. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid that I will get Feng Qizuo from Chang'an, and I won't be able to conduct an autopsy. Qiao Ran said again, "Of course, when he said his, I will judge whether what he said is true or not." ”

That's right...... Zhou Shilin glanced at Qiao Ran, who was insisting, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"Then take that man out first," he said, "and the assassins who assassinated General Gu and Lord Zhao must be found first." ”

With this, Qiao Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out with Pei Qingqing, but at the moment when he was about to step out of the prison door, the Lord Qian who was sitting on the stone bed finally couldn't help but speak.

"You're not asking?"

The girl turned around and said calmly, "It's not your turn yet." ”
