Chapter 174 Inquiry 1

"In the days when you weren't there, he ran around, lest something happen to you." Qiao Sumo stopped.

Ji Xiang muttered to himself. "Why didn't he tell me." said how worried he was and how anxious, in fact, since they met, Chen Jie'an and himself talked the most about how the rhubarb at home teased Lao Niu, and his mother and Grandpa Liao quarreled at home...... I talked to her all night about the trivial matters at home, and I insisted on talking about the recent gossip in a calm tone.

"You, he's embarrassed to say, are you embarrassed to pretend not to see?" Aunt Qiao glanced at Ji Xiang, her face was white and tender, and she was vigorous and resolute, how could she be like a blank sheet of paper in this relationship.

Don't look at Qiao Sumo's gentle and gentle speech, a mouth is to see blood and seal her throat. There is no need for Chen Jie'an to say that other people's words and actions can see their importance to him. Qiao Sumo's words hurt Ji Xiang's heart, she actually knew it, but she just didn't want to admit that Chen Jie'an already had a love for her.

The sound of small footsteps came, and Mo Ning and Yuhuai had already changed their clothes and brought valuables with them. Chen Xie and Liao Yineng were also ready, and everyone looked at Qiao Sumo, who nodded and pulled Ji Xiang to lead the way.

On the way to the lobby, Ji Xiang deliberately avoided Chen Jiean's gaze. The system Zhang Fengfu knew the host's urine sex before, and he had already scolded in the space.

Fortunately, he still remembered to block the host's perception, otherwise Ji Xiang, who was already sad, would have started to scold manically.

Liao can follow behind, side by side with Chen Jiean. "Xie An, you honestly tell your uncle, are you having an awkward relationship with Ji Xiang."

What do you mean by that? Chen Jie'an doesn't understand women's minds, and Liao can know. But seeing him questioning in confusion, he was still a little worried. A man can live without eyes until now, either he doesn't care about his daughter-in-law, or this man is pure and fatal.

He patted Chen Jie'an on the shoulder and exhaled sympathetically. "It's good to do it yourself."

Chen Xie An turned back to Liao Yineng's gaze, and he glanced at Ji Xiang deeply.

Their conversation did not separate Ji Xiang, and after listening to their conversation, they also felt Chen Jiean's gaze. She couldn't help but hold Qiao Sumo tightly. It's not Xianggong's fault, obviously he has been talking about the task with Zhang Yufu in his mouth, once he accepts Chen Jie'an and likes his own setting, he always feels a little irritable.

"It's all here!" Ignoring Chen Jie'an, she deliberately walked elsewhere, at least three people away from the man. The previous official was sitting on a mahogany bench, his knife resting on the table, his hand resting on the hilt, and he did not let his guard down.

Ding Gouer hurriedly stepped forward, quite a little servile. "Back to the official, everyone has arrived. In addition to the guests, the back kitchen and me, there are eight of them, all in front of you. ”

Ji Xiang followed the official's eyes to look around, and the people who came to the cyclamen were basically wearing the same gray-green short clothes as Gou Er, wearing small brown hats, and the people in the back kitchen had a cloth stained with oil around their waists.

In addition to the people on Ji Xiang's side, she was also fortunate to meet the other eight people. Three women and five men, one woman is dressed in red, with white skin and long legs, and the tulle covers the shoulder blades, which is particularly enchanting.

Among them was a pink crewneck shirt, with moon-white gold rosemary, embroidered with small beasts playing in the middle, and two streamers running down the folds. She is not tall but not short, with a curtain on her face, wearing a fairy aura, and her phoenix eyes are squinting, which is ten thousand styles.

The one on the far right is a child, not really, Ji Xiang looked at it a few more times, the man had a woman's hair in a bun, and he saw a few strands of white hair on the top of his head, and two wooden hairpins. Dressed in small clothes, holding a wooden cane, his figure is not as slender as others.

This woman is supposed to be a dwarf.

The three women were named Huo Yao, Luo Zhi, and Yinlian in turn.

After registering these three people, the official came over to Ji Xiang with a notebook, and next to the woman in red was a man in Tsing Yi who repaired bamboo. He has a folding fan in his hand, which is unfolded but has no words or paintings. He has a bit of a complexion, especially when he purses his lips and smiles, and he is a gentleman.

This man's name is Yun Junzi, and he came to Hangzhou. The man standing with him had a jet-black round-necked robe, a cloud-patterned jade pendant, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a beautiful face. Ji Xiang was subconsciously stunned, and Yun Junzi turned his head to the side and saw it. With a quick blink of his left eye, he struck her with precision.

Between the lightning and flint, Ji Xiang, who was a woman, hurriedly withdrew his eyes. Looking at Chen Xie Saddle behind him with a weak heart, fortunately, this place was his blind spot, and it was impossible to know what happened just now.

The next few people, Ji Xiang didn't have the heart to look at them, he only scribbled their names.

They are Yi Yun, Lu Jia, Xian Yi and Jia Qi.

Soon the official sent to Ji Xiang's side, "What's your name?" ”

"Liao Qiaoshi, this is my husband." Qiao Sumo gave a look, and Liao Yineng stepped forward. "We heard that there is a doctor who is traveling here, so we came here."

"Oh, what's your name, what are you doing here." The official finished writing impatiently, and pointed at Ji Xiang again. Yuhuai caught up from behind, "This is my son-in-law Ji Xiang, the owner of Yulongfang." I'm here to see business. ”

Ji Xiang nodded, and the official let out a long sigh, and smiled a little more. "It turns out that you are the owner of Yulongfang, and I know that the first beauty in our Nan'an County is the signboard of Yulongfang. Your stuff is good, but it's a little more expensive. If only you could give me a discount......"

"Ahem, Xiaoliu, let you do the right thing and let you do what you want to do." Xiao Liuguan immediately said sorry to the official, and quickly pointed the finger at Chen Jiean.

"You...... You don't have to say it, murderer. He frowned, his eyes full of impatience. When Mo Ning heard this, his angry eyes turned red, and Engong's eldest brother was also what he could say.

As soon as she held the whip out, Xiao Liu didn't expect this woman to be so fierce, and she would do it every word she said.

When their heads saw this, they drew their swords. "Stop." Ji Xiang was afraid that the two parties would make trouble, so he immediately stepped forward to block it.

Mo Ning knew that Engong had great strength, and she didn't move again after being grabbed by the wrist, she looked at Ji Xiang aggrievedly. Xiaoliu was so frightened that he threw away the book, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so useless, and he was even more annoyed, the hand that took out the knife didn't stop, he just wanted to teach the troublemakers a lesson.

"Be careful." Mo Ning's eyes widened, and he screamed, which made Ji Xiang so frightened that he mixed his feet.

"Ahh

Liao Yineng, Qiao Sumo, and Yuhuai were worried that they didn't have time to make any moves.

The tip of the knife came, Ji Xiang turned sideways as if to save the beauty, only Chen Jie'an knew that she was not.

With a slight sinking of his eyes, Chen Jie'an's feet moved, and in an instant, the two switched positions. Ji Xiang landed safely between the man's arms, and his two fingers clamped the official's saber, and with a force, the blade was bent in two.

The official didn't expect that this murderer's martial arts skills were high enough to stop his own knife. Hold the handle with one hand, add another hand, as long as Chen Jie'an dares to stop, then he will abolish one hand.

It backfired, and the official's knife broke.

Chen Xie An was unscathed, he looked at Ji Xiang deeply, and finally helped her up, and finally stepped aside without nostalgia.

After standing firmly, Ji Xiang heard the drum in his chest. Xiaoliu got up from the ground, "Head, are you okay?" ”

The man shook his head, "It's okay. Yu Guang looked at Chen Xie An, who was like no one, and he put away the broken sword.

"Who are you, why do you want to beat up officials?"

He asked Mo Ning, the little girl with the whip had starlight in her eyes, she was very bold and was not frightened.

"My name is Mo Ning, as for why I beat him, shouldn't I ask him? What kind of murderer, not yet convicted? Mo Ning stared at Xiao Liu viciously.

Indeed, now they have no evidence that Chen Jie'an is the murderer of Yuxia. "Little girl, what are you, to speak for him like this."

"I don't know him." Mo Ning pointed at Chen Jie'an, "But I know his younger brother, that's my father-in-law." A righteous man who saved me from fire and water, so Brother Chen will not kill. ”

Oh?

The official snorted at the tip of his nose, "Then who is your father-in-law, is he not here." ”

Ji Xiang held his breath, afraid that Mo Ning would tell the truth. At the same time, her peeking gaze quickly fell on Chen Jie'an, and the man lowered his head, as if it was none of his business.

Mo Ning laughed wildly, not realizing that she was being tempted at all, and when she heard Uncle Liao's cough, she still remembered it with great concern. After the laughter, a finger pointed at Ji Xiang, "I warn you, it's best to let me and Engong go now, otherwise ......"

"How else? Unexpectedly, you are all in a gang. The official grimaced.

Soon, the woman in red on the other side spoke, "Now that we know that they are together, then we can go." ”

Yun Junzi also picked up the folding fan and smiled with Huo Yao. "Miss Huo Yao, you want to condemn others to death like this, could it be that Miss Yuxia's death has something to do with you."

Huo Yaoliu's eyebrows were upside down, and he snorted at the waist of Chongyun Junzi: "Don't spread rumors, Yuxia and I have been good sisters for more than ten years, it is possible to kill anyone, but she will never be." ”

The man bumped into Yi Yun, "Did you hear it, the woman's mouth is a deceitful ghost." Miss Huo Yao, it's a pity, Miss Yuxia can't hear what you say. ”

"You ......"

The two quarreled, and finally attracted the official to the past.

"Stop arguing." He put everyone in the moment, "Since you mentioned Yuxia, why did I come to martial law, I think you also know in your hearts." Yuxia of the Spring Bamboo Pavilion is dead, and the murderer has not been found. ”

Everyone's faces began to change, he admired it for a while, and continued: "My surname is Zhou, Zhou Li'an. It was the Nan'an County Yamen who caught the matter quickly and was ordered by the county lord to investigate the matter. ”

Granny Yinlian said impatiently, "Since we have a suspicion object, why should we be locked up by you." ”

Zhou Li'an put his hands behind his back, "You think that the people who have come to the cyclamen in the past few days are vegetarians, don't think that no one knows." Granny Yinlian, I would like to ask, the day before yesterday, where were you. ”

The mother-in-law flickered, and Zhou Li'an turned to Huo Yao again. She coped with it easily, "After the Hundred Flowers Fair, my mother sold me to a wealthy businessman. I'm not afraid of losing face, I'm abandoned, so I plan to come back and go to the Spring Bamboo Museum. However, it has only been a few years, and my status has been lost in the museum, and everyone looks at me unpleasantly. I couldn't get angry, so I stayed until the cyclamen came. Yuxia is my good sister, and I went to talk to her that day. I remember going at noon, waking her up, having dinner and leaving. ”

Luo Zhi is Huo Yao's maid, and she was staying downstairs that day, which can also confirm that Huo Yao did leave in a hurry at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yun Junzi Yi Yun and the two are the skirt guests of Yuxia of the Spring Bamboo Pavilion, and they came to Nan'an, mainly for the grand occasion of the Hundred Flowers Festival in July. The other three are all classmates and friends of Yun Junzi, and their purpose is the same.

On the day Yuxia died, they all had alibi.

Zhou Li'an hummed and looked at Ji Xiang. "Your eldest brother is less suspicious than them, do you want to know why?"

Ask me? Ji Xiang shook his head honestly, even Xiao Liu knew that the murderer was not a murderer.

"Because Yuxia was poisoned the night before, and finally died on the street. Although your eldest brother was seen with Yuxia, the time was not matched, plus ...... His martial arts are so strong, how can killing people be the most despicable poison? ”

It seems to be a little subjective, Ji Xiang is about to say something. Zhou Li'an's iron face was like touching the bottom of a black pot. "Miss Huo Yao, I want to ask Yuxia who died the day before yesterday, who you saw in the Spring Bamboo Pavilion yesterday!"
