Cheng Qing was worried about the gradually developing body curves, so the strange old man sent her a box of fake Adam's apple and told her how to use it.

Soak it in glutinous rice for an hour after grinding it into rice milk, the false Adam's apple will become soft, and it only takes an hour to dry it after sticking to the skin.

These Adam's apples are thick and thin, and the thinnest is a little bulge, from thin to thick, and slowly replaced, so that outsiders will not see the flaws.

This gift was simply sent to Cheng Qing's heart.

"If I hadn't personally helped Ling to return to his hometown, and the imperial court had tested my father's legacy in order to investigate the Hetai Mansion corruption case, I would have suspected that you were my father, so I was so kind to me......"

doesn't ask for anything in return, always send her warmth, and only my father would treat her like this!

Cheng Qing sighed, and the strange old man's face sank: "My surname is Li, your surname is Cheng, my age is your grandfather, you want to recognize me as a father, I don't dare to respond!" ”

Blame the old man's surname Li?

Cheng Qing was overjoyed, and immediately climbed up the pole, "Then I will call you Grandpa Li in the future, listen to your tone, I also know my father?" Coincidentally, I recently met an old friend of my late father in Wuhe County, that person's name is He Wangchun, a person from Mengcheng, I don't know if Grandpa Li knows him. ”

Cheng Qing's thick skin made Old Man Li speechless.

Just now, I was still grateful for his 'gift', and immediately inquired into the truth again, suspecting that he and He Wangchun knew each other.

Old man Li is not a good-natured person, and he will leave immediately.

Cheng Qing kept him again and again, and Old Man Li sneered: "What are you doing when you leave me down, but when someone else finds out, you can't tell what you want." Cheng Si, this Huainan is going to be in chaos, you take care of yourself, you are reckless everywhere and are used as guns, there is a danger for others to rush ahead, the few doctors you brought from the capital are so-so, when the epidemic really broke out, only a few of them can't stop it! ”

"Do you care about me?"

"Heh, I'm afraid that you will die too early and waste the life that the old man has given you!"

After speaking, Old Man Li threw up his sleeves and left.

The old man walked quietly and acted quickly, and Cheng Qing chased him into the yard and disappeared.

There was still a sweet fragrance left in the courtyard, which should be the medicine that made Wu Er and the others lose their vigilance.

There are even strange poisons, how can there be no drugs, but this kind of thing is in the hands of a few people, and it is not known to ordinary people.

Cheng Qing pinched a fake Adam's apple and stood quietly in the courtyard for a while.

Old man Li was discovered, why was she so full of mouth that she couldn't tell?

She asked Old Man Li if he was doing something for the scarf thief, and Old Man Li denied it.

But Old Man Li did not deny that he was on the opposite side of the imperial court.

Think about it, there are criss-crossing secret passages under the capital, if it is not against the imperial court, there is a street that does not go, what kind of secret passage do you take?

Moreover, Old Man Li did not deny knowing her father Cheng Zhiyuan, nor did he deny knowing He Wangchun...... He Wangchun and Old Man Li came to Wuhe County one after the other, and the two still know each other, Old Man Li said that he would not do anything for the scarf thief, so what about He Wangchun? !

With these "old friends", Cheng Qing now feels that his father Cheng Zhiyuan is not an ordinary person, but he died too early and brought too many secrets to the coffin - if her father is very good, why should he be a petty official for many years?

What I can't understand the most is that Cheng Zhiyuan gave up continuing the scientific expedition back then, stopped at lifting people, and left Nanyi County in a hurry.

If it's just a separation, it won't be hit so hard, right?

Although he did not take away the family property from the second room, the Qi family still had so much dowry, and later after the death of the Qi family, the Qi family helped keep the Qi family's dowry for many years, and was sentenced to be returned to the eldest sister Cheng Hui by Li Zhixian of Nanyi County, which was converted into 5,000 taels of silver.

has a dowry worth thousands of taels of silver, even if her father and the Qi family sit and eat, it is enough to last until her father participates in the examination!

Don't say why you don't spend your wife's dowry silver, in this era, the husband is honored and the wife is expensive, as long as you win the Jinshi, why worry about not making up for the deficit of the Qi family's dowry...... Therefore, the reason why her father stopped at lifting people and did not continue the scientific examination, the more she thought about it, the more she could not withstand scrutiny.

Cheng Qing used to be too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't want to pursue these past events, but now Old Man Li and He Wangchun, these "old friends" have popped up one after another, haunting her, I don't know what the purpose is, if Cheng Qing doesn't investigate, how big it will be!

It was Master Cheng who presided over the division of the second room back then, and he had been dead for several years, Cheng Qing had no psychic sorcery and could not communicate with the deceased, so he obviously had no way to ask Master Cheng.

If the fifth master knew something, he would definitely be willing to tell her.

However, the fifth master was not the patriarch back then, so he may not know the inside story.

Cheng Zhixu?

He was only a teenager back then, a little fart child, how could he let him know about the affairs of adults.

Her father's original partner Qi also died early, and he didn't have much contact with the Qi family.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is only one "Old Lady Zhu" who is the party?

I have to find a way to get some truth out of Old Madam Zhu.

Maybe if you figure out why her father left Nanyi and didn't continue to participate in the scientific expedition, you will know why He Wangchun and Old Man Li appeared by her side, and who caused the poison in her.

Alas, I heard that Mrs. Zhu is not in good health, and I don't know if Mrs. Zhu will still be alive when she returns to the capital.

It's boring to have such a big temperament, you can live a long time with a wide heart, the next time you see Mrs. Zhu, you must tell Mrs. Zhu about the way to maintain longevity!

Cheng Qing tossed and turned, and it was time to get up after sleeping for a while.

She washed her face and went to find Yu San without even eating breakfast, she couldn't say anything about Old Man Li, but if Old Man Li and He Wangchun knew each other, Old Man Li could not alarm others to see Cheng Qing, and He Wangchun could also pass on the news to the outside without alarming the secret agent of Jinyiwei.

Cheng Qing asked He Wangchun if there was anything strange over there, and Yu San said lazily, "There are people in Jinyi who are staring, what are you worried about?" ”

"Can the people of the brocade guard not blink for twelve hours? If you ask them, I always feel that something is wrong, especially last night! ”

Cheng Qing's seriousness infected Yu Sandu.

Yu San called the two spies who were staring at He Wangchun and asked, and the two said that there was nothing abnormal last night, and if they had to say anything, it was that the two of them took a nap.

"My lord, I don't have half a cup of tea, He Wangchun is honest in the house......"

The voices of the two spies grew quieter and quieter.

They themselves sensed something was wrong.

It's not strange for one person to take a nap, it's no wonder if two people are napping together, but they are trained spies and will not make such a low-level mistake.

Yu San was so angry that he wanted to use a knife to cut the two wastes, but Cheng Qing stopped him: "You won't take a nap for no reason, if you are drugged, it will definitely leave traces, think about it carefully." ”

Vestige?

was reminded by Cheng Qingyi, and the two spies thought about it carefully, as if they had smelled a vague aroma, sweet and slightly cool.

“…… Like pear blossoms. ”

I was in a trance last night, and I didn't even think it was strange, but now that I think about it, smelling the fragrance of pear blossoms in the autumn night, it's really indescribably weird!
