Chapter 82: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye
Zhang Shanqing's words surprised Jian Xiaozhu: "No, how can there be a corpse in the river?" ”
After that, Jian Xiaozhu realized that her words sounded like something wrong, so she added: "I mean, did that assassin drown in the river?" ”
Zhang Shanqing shook his head: "This corpse seems to have been soaked in the river for many days, and we have handed it over to the six gates, so that the catchers there can deal with it quickly." ”
"That's right." Jian Xiaozhu said: "The Qinghe River is so big, maybe the assassin's body is also inside, but you can't find it all at once." ”
"Yes, but Ah Yi and I are too tired, so we will leave home to rest first, and leave the rest to the six doors to continue the search."
After that, Zhang Shanqing hurriedly left and went back to rest. After Jian Xiaozhu went out, he found a hidden corner, put the men's clothes he was carrying on the outside of his clothes, and put two pinches of mustache on himself, and went to the inn to visit Zhu Yan.
It's just that when Jian Xiaozhu went to the inn, he found that Zhu Yan was no longer there. The room in the inn had been cleaned up, and from the boss, Jian Xiaozhu learned that Zhu Yan had left here very early.
He ...... My lady, did you say anything when you left? ”
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Your wife said that after you quarreled, you left. She thought you wouldn't be back, so she went back to her parents' house first. By the way, your wife is probably angry, and wants me to bring you a message so that you don't go to her. However, if there are any problems between you and the couple, you can solve them well, after all, your wife is still pregnant......"
After leaving the inn, Jian Xiaozhu went to Tiewa's house again.
It's just that Zhu Yan is no longer there with Tiewa.
"Sister Yunzhu, has something happened?"
Afraid that Tiewa would be worried, Jian Xiaozhu said, "It's nothing. It's Zhu Gongzi that he left suddenly, and I don't know where he went. He should be fine though. ”
said so, but Jian Xiaozhu was still very worried about Zhu Yan in her heart. Remembering the "goodbye" that Zhu Yan said behind him when he was leaving yesterday, Jian Xiaozhu thought that maybe at that time, Zhu Yan had already decided to leave quietly.
"Alas, this guy with no conscience doesn't say a word when he leaves!"
Several days passed, and Zhu Yan was not heard from.
However, what made Jian Xiaozhu feel a little relieved was that he learned from Zhang Shanqing that the assassin had not been caught.
It's just that Jian Xiaozhu is relieved, but Murong Yi has suffered a lot because of it. In order to find the assassin, he had almost searched the Imperial City in the past few days. This made him exhausted, and he looked a lot haggard. So when Murong Yi passed by Zhang's Mansion and came to Zhang Shanqing to think about countermeasures, Jian Xiaozhu also cooked in person, and used modern cooking methods to cook a few dishes and snacks for him that were not available in this era, which made Murong Yi smile for a long time.
"Little bamboo, I didn't expect you to be so ingenious, this egg yolk chicken wings you made are really delicious." After that, Murong Yi sandwiched another piece of pork ribs and said, "I didn't expect the pork ribs and rice cakes to be so delicious together!" ”
"If you think it's delicious, eat more!"
While speaking, Jian Xiaozhu poured Murong Yi a glass of sweet wine. Originally, when Jian Xiaozhu was fine at home, he tried to make some wine. Although Jian Xiaozhu can vaguely remember the winemaking methods she had read in books before, it was just because she didn't know how to taste wine, and she couldn't drink the taste of wine. So she gave up making wine and made some ordinary dessert wines.
Fortunately, Murong Yi is not a person who can drink very much, so he likes this mild sweet wine very much. This made him say to Zhang Shanqing: "Shanqing, your sister is amazing!" ”
Zhang Shanqing was proud: "Of course, it's my sister after all!" ”
Murong Yi asked with a smile: "Xiao Zhuzi hasn't been married yet, right?" ”
Zhang Shanqing looked at Murong Yi: "What, you don't want to pay attention to the little bamboo, right?" ”
Zhang Shanqing's words made Murong Yi and Jian Xiaozhu stunned at the same time, Jian Xiaozhu twisted Zhang Shanqing's arm fiercely, causing Zhang Shanqing to scream: "Xiaozhuzi, you are too ruthless!" ”
"Tell you to talk nonsense!" Jian Xiaozhu glanced at Zhang Shanqing, and then asked, "Second brother, when will you go to Miss Liu's house to propose?" ”
Zhang Shanqing lowered his head shyly: "My father and I plan to go next week." ”
Murong Yi smiled and teased Zhang Shanqing: "It's so fast, you kid can't wait." ”
Zhang Shanqing glared at him, and then said, "I finally met a girl who made me feel very good, so I thought about marrying earlier." It's up to you to find the right person. ”
Murong Yi sighed: "I want to find that assassin earlier than the girl." ”
Hearing Murong Yi mention the assassin, Jian Xiaozhu immediately pricked up his ears. And Zhang Shanqing said with concern: "How is it, has there been any progress recently?" ”
Murong Yi shook his head: "There is no progress. We even suspect that the Assassin may have had more than one of his accomplices helping him escape. However, this person can still slip away under our noses, which must be a not simple character, so the imperial grandmother worries day and night, hoping that I will catch him as soon as possible. ”
Jian Xiaozhu asked, "Is the Empress Dowager recovering well?" ”
"Not so good. After all, the old man is old and frightened, and he will definitely not be able to return to normal anytime soon. ”
Zhang Shanqing frowned: "Alas, I don't understand, the Empress Dowager is an old lady, she stays in the Tourmaline Palace on weekdays to recuperate, what is this assassin trying to assassinate her!" ”
"I don't know. I've seen a lot of cases, and when the case is finally solved, the murderer's motives are hard to understand. For example, the corpse of the man with a stone tied to his foot that we fished out of the river a few days ago was identified by the clothes worn by the man at the six doors. ”
Zhang Shanqing became interested and asked, "Who is he?" ”
Murong Yi took a sip of sweet wine and replied: "He is a cook in Fumanlou, because of his strong cooking skills, he was poached by Guiyun Lou with a lot of money, which made the boss of Fumanlou very unhappy." ”
Zhang Shanqing: "So, this boss killed him out of revenge?" ”
Murong Yi shook his head: "Not really." That's why I said that murderers are sometimes unexpected. It wasn't the boss who killed this person, but another cook in the Fuman Building who usually seemed to have a good relationship with him. Because they were jealous that he was going to a better place and a better life, they killed him. ”
After listening to Murong Yi's story, Zhang Shanqing and Jian Xiaozhu sighed at the same time, only to sigh. Murong Yi got up and picked up his sword: "It's time for me to go." Little bamboo, when I have time, I'll take you to my house for dinner! ”
Thinking of the eight-treasure fish in King Ning's mansion, Jian Xiaozhu smiled: "I can go at any time." ”
Zhang Shanqing hit Jian Xiaozhu on the head with a chestnut: "You know how to eat!" Then he looked at Murong Yi and sighed: "You are a prince, you have to rack your brains every day to catch assassins, and it is also hard." ”
Murong Yi smiled bitterly: "No way, everyone thinks I'm a waste." If you don't behave well this time, maybe this prince won't be right! ”
Zhang Shanqing was worried: "It's not so serious, right?" ”
Murong Yi suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm joking." No matter what, I am the emperor's own brother. He won't remove me from the title of prince because I wasted wood. ”
With that, Murong Yi left Zhang's mansion with a relaxed face. Just looking at his back, Jian Xiaozhu was a little worried.
Although, Murong Yi looked tired. However, at this moment, Jian Xiaozhu could only pray, hoping that Murong Yi would never catch that assassin.
