Qiao Ran glanced at Pei Qingqing, who was looking at her excitedly with blinking eyes, paused, and casually picked up the volume of "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush" in her hand, and after flipping through it, she said, "Then why is the new volume so different from the previous one?" ”

Zhao Dongjia smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just the owner of a bookstore, how he wants to write, I can't interfere!" ”

Because after signing the deed, it is moral!

Qiao Ran smiled, his eyes fell on his hanging arm again, and asked, "What's the matter with your hand?" ”

Zhao Dongjia looked down at his hanging arm, and his already bitter face became more and more bitter: "I was injured by firecrackers." ”

It wasn't a good thing to get hurt by firecrackers, and he didn't want to mention it.

However, the young female officer on the other side didn't know whether she didn't have the eyesight to see or didn't understand the world, so she didn't even open which pot to mention, and kept asking.

"When was it injured?"

Zhao Dongjia said: "A few days ago. ”

"What day was it the other day?"

"That's it...... It was snowing heavily, and on the day when a carriage slid out of the bridge and rolled into the river, an older official from your Dali Temple also came that day. Zhao Dongjia replied patiently.

The older official in his mouth obviously referred to Zhen Shiyuan, but he didn't mention his surname, and he didn't look like he knew that Zhen Shiyuan was Dali Siqing, so it can be said that this Zhao Dongjia didn't know Zhen Shiyuan, Dali Siqing.

Of course, there is no law of Dachu that stipulates that a bookstore owner must know who Dali Siqing is and what he looks like.

A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Ran's mind, and soon gathered these trivial and messy news into a conclusion: This Zhao Dongjia should have been at the scene when the accident happened that day, because he described Zhen Shiyuan with the word "older", obviously he saw it with his own eyes, but he didn't know Zhen Shiyuan's identity.

However, if you see it, you should not have approached, otherwise if you really gather around to watch the excitement, you can at least say a surname or something else when you listen to those official names.

In Zhao Dongjia's eyes, the girl in front of her just rolled her eyes, seemed to think about it for a while, and soon continued to ask.

"How did you get hurt on this hand?"

"Injured by firecrackers."

"Where's the firecracker?"

“…… Wang Linhan's there. Zhao Dongjia hesitated for a moment and replied again.

This time, there was a little more inquiry and vigilance in his eyes.

She...... I don't think I'm here to change the book!

"How did Wang Linhan's firecrackers hurt you?" Sure enough, the girl then asked.

Zhao Dongjia was silent for a moment, and said: "There are a few children on our street who are often naughty and noisy, and that day it was the child who lit a firecracker and accidentally injured me." ”

"Is there anyone else hurt besides you?" The girl paused, then asked.

Zhao Dongjia shook his head: "No." ”

"Can anyone see you injured by a firecracker?"

Zhao Dongjia looked up at her, and the look of inquiry and vigilance in his eyes became more and more obvious.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Since there isn't, it's hard to say that the kid lit the firecrackers and injured you, maybe you lit the firecrackers yourself." The girl said leisurely.

Zhao Dongjia's face stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he instinctively opened his mouth to argue: "My lord, I'm not a child, why are I going to light firecrackers?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "The firecracker belonged to Wang Linhan, and no one saw it at the time of the incident, so it can be seen that the firecracker was not placed in front of the public at the door, but in the backyard of his shop." My own backyard is not something that ordinary people can enter casually, I heard that you have a good relationship with Wang Linhan......"

"It's just a deed." Zhao Dongjia interrupted his words, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes when he looked at the girl.

In all fairness, the girl in front of her is very good-looking, even if she is wearing a serious, neat and old-fashioned official robe, it is difficult to hide her beauty.

People will always be a little more patient when they see good-looking people and things, not to mention that he has a good temper in the first place.

But that's the case, in the face of such aggressive questioning by girls, he still had a sense of irritability for no reason.

"We're not familiar with each other." Zhao Dongjia said, "That day passed just to discuss the newly handed in manuscript of "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush". ”

Because of the discussion on handing over the manuscript, others were at Wang Linhan's house at the time, and it was not normal for him to be injured by mistake?

"Where's the deed?" The girl didn't care about his reaction, but asked suddenly.

Zhao Dongjia was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked to the inner room with a cold face, and after a while, he brought out a deed, and then handed it to her and said, "Here, you can see for yourself!" ”

Qiao Ran took the deed and glanced at it, his eyes paused on the three words "Wang Linhan" in the corner of the deed, and then handed the deed to Pingzhuang behind him, and said, "Put it away." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Dongjia moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

To be honest, even a person with a good temper is a little annoyed by such an unrelenting question.

Seeing that the undepressed color between his eyebrows became more and more obvious, even Pei Qingqing and Pingzhuang on the side couldn't help but get nervous, if it weren't for the fact that he was still hanging his arms, I was really afraid that he would do it.

"Do you know Xue Huai?" The girl paused, then spoke again.

Zhao Dongjia's face stiffened for a moment, and when he realized something, he was about to speak, but he suddenly bumped into the girl's eyes.

The clear pupils reveal a little bit of understanding of the world.

"Looks like I know." The girl casually gave a conclusion.

At that moment, it was as if all his strength was drained at once, his feet were weak, and he saw that the person was about to fall, but he was held up by the official in time.

When he stood still and looked at the girl whose face was still calm, he subconsciously reached out and wiped it on his forehead, and then noticed that he was sweating all over his head.

This is not in Dali Temple, but in his Sande Bookstore, it seems to be a casual question, but I don't know why it makes people break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, his eyes looking at the girl had changed from his previous inquiry to horror.

Horror and vigilance filled his body.

It's no wonder that most of the people who are humane and take charge at a young age are not good at it, because it is impossible for this kind of person to get to that position by virtue of seniority.

The girl smiled, it was still so gentle and harmful, but the words that came out were ......

"His carriage overturned into the river, but you and Wang Linhan set off firecrackers in the shop, since you know each other, is this unreasonable, could it be that you hurt him ......" Pi Phi Reading Network

"No, I didn't!" Zhao Dongjia's instinctive voice interrupted her words.

When he realized what he had said, he looked up and met the girl's smiling face, and even the two who came with her were shocked.

The bystanders didn't react, let alone he, an insider.

"Did you not set off firecrackers or did you not harm anyone?" The girl had no intention of stopping there, and then asked.

Zhao Dongjia was completely paralyzed.

It was winter, but his back was already soaked with sweat.

"I didn't ...... No firecrackers were set off, and no harm was done. Zhao Dongjia stopped looking at the girl's eyes, lowered his eyelids, looked at the ground, and muttered, "No, my lord." ”

"Then how did you know Xue Huai?"

"I'm a bookstore, he will come to me to buy books, and he will meet ...... people who come and go" Zhao Dongjia, who suddenly realized that the wording in her mouth was "you", paused, then looked at the ground, and said in a flat tone, "I don't know if Xue Huai knows Wang Linhan, it's all on the same street, and he often comes, maybe he knows each other or not, I don't know." ”

Pei Qingqing, who was on the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, and muttered: "It's like an endorsement." ”

Qiao Ran chuckled when she heard this, rubbed the two balls on her head, and didn't speak.

It's really like an endorsement, and Zhao Dongjia didn't dare to look at her eyes anymore from the beginning, and it didn't seem to be credible if he looked at the ground to answer like this.

Qiao Ran rubbed the waist card in his hand, put it away, and didn't hold up the waist card to let him reply.

At this time, he is holding a waist card, I am afraid that this Zhao Dongjia will not tell the truth.

"That's bothering the owner," Qiao Ran said, taking Pei Qingqing's hand and walking out the door, "Let's go meet Wang Linhan, who sells cloth!" ”

Seeing that the owner breathed a sigh of relief, he slowly stood up from the ground with his arms propped up, and when he was about to go out, Qiao Ran suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked him, "By the way, there is one last question." ”

The owner's relaxed expression suddenly tightened, and then he squeezed out a dry smile and said, "Sir, you ask!" ”

"I heard that there has been a gap of almost half a year between the previous volume of your "Scholar's Divine Biography" and the new one, because it used to be published every two or three months, why did this one drag on for so long?"

Zhao Dongjia was stunned and said, "This adult is going to ask Wang Linhan, it's not me who wrote the book." If he drags on, I can't help him. ”

Qiao Ran nodded and chuckled when she heard this, and said, "I just think that the last volume of "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Brush" has been delayed for so long, and it doesn't hurt to be a little sooner or later, but it will be delayed until Tong Xue Huai is released from the prison of Dali Temple." ”

The expression on Zhao Dongjia's face was a little obscure, but when he noticed that she was looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and did not look at her.

Pei Qingqing, who looked at this quail-like move, couldn't help but stick out her tongue: It's better to say it directly, a clear-eyed person can know that he is weak-hearted at a glance.

"Don't think about it," the girl smiled as she stepped out the door, then looked back, "I'll just ask." ”

Feel free to ask...... Pingzhuang, who watched the whole thing from the sidelines, scratched his head.

It's scary.

No wonder the ancients said that "words can kill", and he really saw it.

However, I didn't understand what the relationship between this matter was, but now because I watched Lord Qiao's interrogation, I seemed to have some eyebrows.

Of course, he is just "vaguely" with some eyebrows, and the appearance of Zhao Dongjia is not like "some eyebrows".

Before leaving, Pingzhuang did not forget to look back at Zhao Dongjia.

It's really strange and pitiful to see him shivering with his head down, but when he meets someone like Master Qiao, it's better to make a move! Left and right, sooner or later, all she wants to know will be able to make up her mind.

Pingzhuang shook his head and left.

After the three of them left, Zhao Dongjia's legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground again.

She...... Do you know all about it?

I thought she was lying to herself, but when she left, that sentence made him confirm his guess.

It was too coincidental that the last volume of "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Brush" came out, and it happened that as soon as Xue Huai came out, this last volume came out.

It turned out that there was no unexpected result in their eyes, but in the eyes of the adults in Dali Temple, it was full of loopholes?

Zhao Dongjia smiled bitterly, looked at his arm, and sighed.

……

"Miss Qiao, so, what do you mean by your last sentence?" Pei Qingqing couldn't help but be curious, and after leaving Sande Bookstore for a while, he poked his little head left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he couldn't help but ask.

This is the way she can ask whenever she wants, and Pingzhuang is envious. Not only envy the child is to make a mistake, saying things that should not be said, Lord Qiao does not care, but also envy this strange and clever child is actually very liked by Lord Qiao.

This child can ask as much as she wants in front of her, not only because Lord Qiao will let her because of her age, but because he knows better that Lord Qiao spoils and likes herself, so he dares to ask such a question.

Changed him, he still didn't dare, thinking that the bookstore owner was scared like that, it was really scary to think about.

"I suspect that the people who wrote the last volume of 'The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Writings' were not the same person." Qiao Ran said.

Facing Pei Qingqing, she didn't go around in circles.

Pei Qingqing blinked and looked at her: "Not alone?" Why substitution...... Ah, I know, Miss Qiao, do you doubt that the first one was written by Xue Huai, and the last book was written by a different person? ”

This kind of ghostly and clever child is quite smart. Pingzhuang didn't turn his head and listened to the girl on the side explain.

The voice is soft, but it seems to have the ability to calm people's hearts. Let people follow her, and there will be no uneasiness.

It seems that Uncle Nine has a good vision.

"Xue Huai was locked up in prison at that time, and even the days he was released from prison were immeasurable." The girl nodded the little girl's forehead as she spoke, and said with a smile, "Then "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush" sells so well, if the market is in a hurry, and Xue Huai doesn't know if he can come out, it is not impossible for the owner to find someone to write for him." ”

Pei Qingqing heard an "oh", and after thinking seriously for a while, she twisted her eyebrows again, and she said, "But the deed is not Xue Huai's name." ”

She hadn't forgotten the deed that Miss Qiao had just asked this Pingzhuang to take away.

"Not bad." Qiao Ran nodded when she heard this, and then said, "It's not Xue Huai's name, but things like deeds can be forged or rewritten, besides, Xue Huai's situation is a bit special." ”

Xue Huai had all kinds of objects that had been made into pure gold in his hand but did not leak them, it was obvious that he was going to take the gold to do something, and he didn't want outsiders to know about it.

Thinking about his relationship with the Xue family, if he made a lot of money outside, it was possible to hide it from the Xue family, and even sign the deed without coming forward.

Therefore, even if the proprietor comes up with the deed, it cannot prove anything.

The coincidence of the timing of the publication of this "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Pen", as well as the very different contents of the two volumes, as well as the inexplicable sound of firecrackers that day, she couldn't help but doubt that these two people would have anything to do with Xue Huai's death.
