Chapter 42: Two Great Talents

Last night, Shi Ansheng drank flower wine with two other scholars in the Langyu Building, admiring his fake painting that he bought for 1,000 taels of silver.

After Jian Qing and Wang Hu came out of the Shi family, they went to the house of the two scholars.

These two scholars testified against Shi Ansheng, and they were indeed with Shi Ansheng, and there were three Qinglou women to accompany them. It wasn't until Li Shi was poisoned that they came down to watch the excitement before they left with a smile.

"What was Shi Ansheng's expression at that time?" Jian Qing asked a scholar named Li Ming, he is a poor talent, fortunately he still has a faΓ§ade at home, he used to do silk business, but the scholar does not understand the economy, and the business is becoming more and more difficult. Li Ming felt that doing business was insulting to Sven, so he stopped business.

Now this Xiucai is sitting at home, and Jian Qing's younger brother Jian Che is Li Ming's student.

Involved in a murder case for no reason, although the people from the yamen came just to ask for some information, Li Ming took the dignity of a scholar very seriously, his eyes were not eyes, his nose was not his nose, and he served tea three times and twice, implying that he was sending off guests, but when he saw Jian Qing and the two of them sitting still, he didn't know how many times he scolded these two scoundrels who didn't know how many times.

"Expressions? I don't remember! Li Ming used the lid of the tea bowl to skim the broken tea crumbs and tea stems that could not sink to the bottom of the cup, although it was inferior tea, he drank the posture of West Lake Longjing for him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Benxiu is a scholar, he makes friends on weekdays, there is no white clothes in contact, don't look at incivility, don't smell incivility, you can ask about this matter, don't mention it in front of me." ”

Wang Hu still respects these readers on weekdays, but today he saw that Jian Qing made Shi Ansheng stunned, and he didn't think that the readers had any ability.

He slammed the iron ruler on the ground and slammed it, "Who dropped any bookbag with you?" Less nonsense, whatever we ask you, you just say it! ”

Li Ming was so frightened by Wang Hu that he didn't dare to serve tea anymore, although he was still unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything with a sour and rancid taste.

"Let me ask again, what is Shi Ansheng's expression when he sees Li Shi die?"

"Schadenfreude, I heard Shi Ansheng say with my own ears that Li Shi deserved it, and if you look at it, do you dare to rob the girl in the Jade Mansion with him in the future."

Isn't it Shi Ansheng? Jian Qing wondered in his heart, if it was Shi Ansheng, even if he was really a second fool, he would not say such a thing at that time, wouldn't it make people suspect that he did it?

Of course, this kind of thing can only be said frankly when it is not about oneself.

Wang Hu is different, Li Ming's words seem to confirm what they had guessed before, sure enough, Shi Ansheng poisoned Li Shi, seeing that Li Shi was dead and he had succeeded, he was so happy that he forgot about it.

Another scholar is called Zhou Jinian, it is said that he helps Shi Ansheng write homework on weekdays, and when Mr. is assessed in class, it is also Zhou Jinian who hands him a note. This is also why Zhou Jinian is a widow and a widowed sister-in-law spinning and weaving for him to study, and he can still enter and leave the Qinglou.

Zhou Jianian has a nephew named Zhou Xuanjin, who is the same size as Jian Che, who lives in a row on the left back street, and is also a tenant, and the two children often play together.

When Jian Qing went, Jian Che happened to be there, and when he saw his brother, he hurriedly ran over and took Jian Qing's hand, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

After greeting the people of the Zhou family, Jian Qing was welcomed to his study and bedroom by Zhou Jinian, and Zhou Jinian's sister-in-law Zhou Liu borrowed two chairs to give up their seats to Jian Qing and the others.

"Last night, Zhou Xiucai and Shi Ansheng, Shi Gongzi, as well as Li Ming and Li Xiucai, were drinking together in the Jade Building? What time did you enter the Jade Tower and what time did you come out? ”

Zhou Jinian's face was slightly red, "Yesterday afternoon, Mr. asked one of us to make an article, the title is 'Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War', before that, I had written an article, let Shi Gongzi copy it in advance, he got a good comment from Mr., and was happy for a while, and invited me and Li Ming to go to the Jade Building to eat wine." ”

Zhou Liu came in to bring tea to Jian Qing and the others, a large bowl of coarse porcelain, with a few dried lotus leaves, but the fragrance was fragrant, Jian Qing took a few sips of it, and thanked, "It's delicious." ”

"It's delicious!" Zhou Liu threw two glances at Zhou Jinian, wiped his hands on his apron twice before going out.

"We went in at the end of Shen Shi, and I heard that there was an accident in the East Flower Hall in the middle of the unit, so I took a look at it and felt very disappointed, so I came out and went home." Zhou Jinian thought for a while, "When I got home, it wasn't until the end of the unitary hour. ”

"Seeing Li Shi dead, what is Shi Ansheng's expression?" Jian Qing asked.

"Shi Gongzi has always been like that, he doesn't care about anything. As far as he is concerned, as long as he can handle the article, there will be no big deal in the world. At that time, he took a look, Li Shiqi bleed to death, and I saw that there was an unbearable look on his face. ”

"How can there be unbearable color, isn't Shi Ansheng ......"

Jian Qing held down Wang Hu, intercepted what he was about to say later, and got up to say goodbye, "Thank you Zhou Xiucai, I wish you the best in the coming year!" ”

"Borrow the good words of the little brother!"

Zhou Jinian sent Jian Qing and the others to the door. When Jian Che saw that his brother was going back, he jumped up and ran beside his brother and asked, "Is my brother going home?" I'm going home with my brother? ”

Although the hour was not early, Jian Qing still had no ideas, and was about to go to Li Shi's house to have a look, so he asked, "Have you finished writing all the big characters to be written today?" ”

"When I'm done, my dad rewarded me with a book today."

"What book?"

"The Book of Songs, I already know how to memorize a chapter, does my brother want me to memorize it?"

"Yes, but, I'll go back later in the evening, and you can recite it to me."

Jian Qing sent his younger brother to the door of the house and watched him go back to the house, and then he and Wang Hu came from the side of the Yulou and went to the street.

The security hall is opposite the jade building, and there are two houses separated from the Xinglai Inn. When Jian Qing and the others passed, they happened to see Li Shi's wife, who was supported by her mother-in-law, got into a sedan chair and left. Jian Qing's heart moved, and he raised his feet and entered the security hall, it was already late at this time, and there were not many people who came to see the doctor and grab medicine.

The doctor sitting in the hall was about seventy years old, wearing a small hat, short clothes, and a long beard, and was a little surprised when he saw Jian Qing and the others coming in, and greeted, "What's the matter with the two poor masters?" ”

Obviously, it wasn't a visit.

Jian Qing sat down on the stool where the patient often sits, "The woman who just went out, but Li Shi is the widow of Li Bantou?" ”

"Exactly!"

"We are investigating the case, and we also ask the doctor to tell me bluntly, I don't know why Li Bantou's widow came here? Is she sick? ”

"Not really!" The doctor touched his beard, "The woman is pregnant, and she came to see the doctor and asked if the fetus in her womb was male or female. ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to diagnose, right?" Jian Qing didn't care much about whether Li Zhang's was pregnant with a man or a woman, and asked, "I don't know how old the child in Li Zhang's belly is?" I heard that it's been more than eight months? ”

"It's full-term!"

Full term is more than nine months. Before, Li Shi's mother-in-law said that it had been more than eight months, and Jian Qing's mind came to the nostalgia of Li Zhang's family, although she had never even talked about her boyfriend, but as a forensic doctor in her previous life, she could still see that the child was not in the basin.
