I looked at Chu Nian with bright eyes, and asked very humbly: "Childe, do you see that you are tired of something, give me some advice?" ”

Chu Nian suddenly smiled gently and patted me on the shoulder, but only shook the sentence: "Hungry, eat." ”

Full of anticipation, in exchange for such a sentence, as soon as the hand was forced, the brush was broken by me.

Seeing that the transcript he had compiled was quite complete, he simply dropped his pen and went to wash his hands and eat.

Tang Li was not surprised, he was just about to come over with a steamed bun in his mouth, and accidentally saw the case record I had sorted out, picked it up and read it carefully, revealing admiration, "The details of the case are so finely written, this is the content of the two of you interrogating Yi Qinghuan this morning?" ”

I was really hungry, so I grabbed the steamed bun and took a big bite, and said unconsciously, "These are not enough, I have to check what Yi Qinghuan said in the afternoon." By the way, did you ask Su Qian's subordinates? ”

Tang Li handed the manuscript I wrote to Chu Nian, and took a bite of pickles to eat, "Asked, Su Qian didn't lie, there was indeed an injured man who appeared at his door yesterday, and he also invited a doctor, and he also checked the doctor, it's true." ”

I hung the steamed bun and hugged his fist to express my admiration.

"By the way, I forgot to ask the guy from Drunken Wind Building when I came back today, and I have to find time to go tomorrow. It's all to blame for that Nian Zhongjun, but when I mentioned Yi Qinghuan's father to him, he took the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet and ran away, so that I forgot about this stubble. ”

"It's not just the guys from Zuifeng Building, on the way to Zuifeng Lou today, my subordinates also heard that Jiang Qingping and Jiang Zhong actually have a disagreement, this Jiang Zhong is becoming more and more greedy, maybe Jiang Qingping wants to get rid of Jiang Zhong and blame Yi Qinghuan, and plans to use Yi Qinghuan to get rid of Master Su who he wants to kill the most. In this way, you can not only get rid of the disobedient subordinates, but also blame the trouble, killing two birds with one stone. Tang Li actively participated in the discussion.

"Is this line credible?" I asked seriously.

Tang Li nodded affirmatively, "Talking about this is to deliver food to the Su family all year round, his relatives are soldiers under Jiang Qingping, they are pro-soldiers, and they have talked to him about this matter after drinking too much at one time, and their subordinates feel that this line is worth checking." ”

I called this steamed bun and nodded in agreement, "It's necessary, it's necessary, since it's a pro-soldier, you must know a lot of ulterior secrets." ”

I listened carefully, and suddenly found that there were many more clues to remember in this conversation, and I was just about to write it down but was stopped by Chu Nian, "My lord, can we stop eating and then do things?" Jiang Qingping's line has not yet been verified, and writing it down only adds to his doubts. ”

Like, too.

So, I sat down very obediently and finished eating, peeking at Chu Nian, who was chewing slowly.

I didn't dare to move if he didn't speak, so I looked at him so aggrieved.

Chu Nian was extremely uncomfortable, and finally put down his chopsticks and glanced at me, "I will personally check Jiang Qingping's line, in the afternoon, I don't know what arrangements the adults have?" ”

I did a good job and reported seriously: "Since Gongzi wants to investigate Jiang Qingping, then I will divide the soldiers into two ways, bother Tang to leave to investigate the news related to the deceased, I will investigate Yi Qinghuan's sisters, and by the way, verify what she said in the morning." ”

Chu Nian shook his head, "Tang Li will act with you, and the background of the deceased will also be up to me." ”

I know Chu Nian's strength, and he will definitely not miss anything when he comes to do this, but he always feels that others are lonely, so he tried to suggest: "Childe, if you don't let Tang Li follow and protect you, there is nothing wrong with the dancing girl, I can handle it alone." ”

Chu Nian looked at me and Tang Li very seriously, "I'm just a miscellaneous servant now, as long as I keep a low profile, I won't attract attention." It's the two of you, try not to go alone when you're out and about, especially at night. Don't forget the purpose of our trip, Lord Zhou's disappearance in Licheng is already the best wake-up call, and this Licheng is by no means as calm as it seems. There are dark tides and crises, and you two must not be careless. ”

Alas, the arms can't twist the thighs, who makes the family the boss and we are soldiers?

After splitting up, I turned back to see Chu Nian's departing back with anxiety, his figure shuttled through the flow of people, and after a while, there was no shadow.

"Don't worry, my lord's skills are the best in purgatory, and the other three supervisors are far inferior in terms of kung fu, he has handled a lot of cases this year, and it is difficult for him to investigate such a trivial matter." Tang Li comforted from the side, but he was full of confidence in Chu Nian.

I smiled and didn't say anything, but my heart was still up and down, Chu Nian was right, this Licheng seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, otherwise how could the dignified Xuanwu Inspector Zhou Jian disappear silently? Zhou Jian is an old man in purgatory, and he is not inferior to Qinglong supervising Zheng Baiye in terms of shrewdness, but so what? The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and in the end it is not planted?

"By the way, you forgot that there is Arnold?"

"Yes, and Arnold, he was sent by the old marquis to secretly protect his son." It's a good thing to keep it into, so I'm a lot more sure.

But when I thought of Arnold, I also remembered his warning to me, there have been too many things in the past two days, I have forgotten the most important thing to me, find a time to probe Chu Nian's tone, and see where the old marquis will lock Qin Xiao up?

I am willing to follow Chu Nian to do things, but I will never allow anyone to beat my brother's attention and use him to threaten me to do things.

When I came to a courtyard called Yunjiaofang in the east of the city, I looked at the huge and quiet house in front of me, the environment was good, but the four guards guarding the door at the door were very disobedient.

I shook the folding fan in my hand and looked at the four guards with a meaty face, and my good mood was halved, "Why are there still four guards guarding the gate?" Is it necessary? And not in jail? ”

Tang Li Zhengse said: "After the adults also know that the dancing girls are all criminal ministers, even if they are officials, they naturally can't be as comfortable as usual. ”

Although I also knew that what Tang Li said was right, when I thought of the girls locked up in this huge courtyard as if they were in prison, I felt an indescribable sense of guilt in my heart.

Sometimes I have to say that having a hard backstage is really important.

I am also an ancestor who has accumulated virtue, and I can meet such a nostalgic friend as Chu Nian to escape the catastrophe in front of me.

Well, it is necessary to go to Fahua Temple and set up a longevity card for him as a thank you.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Tang Li saw me poking at the door and didn't move, so he reminded me.

I shook my head, "It's okay, I just think it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that such a good opportunity!" I closed the folding fan and knocked on my palm, which was very regretful, "You don't know, our son used to be the most popular among girls, and the girl who hated to marry could line up from his house to Xihuamen." But now, you look at his rigid ice face, a look that can scare people to death in the past, and I don't know what stimulated him to become like this. I just think it's the best, and I should leave such a good opportunity to him. ”

"I don't think he will come if you give it to him." Tang Li said very firmly.

It piqued my curiosity, "Why?" I'm doing this for his good, you see the way he looks at women now, who would dare to marry him if he continues like this"

"In fact, there are not a few matchmakers who come to propose marriage, but they are all rejected by the son, which makes the old marquis angry." Tang Li couldn't help but gossip.

His words reminded me of what Chu Nian had said to me, he has things to do and people to protect, it seems that he really has a woman he likes, but it doesn't fit the eyes of the old marquis.

In this way, Chu Nian's snubbing of other girls is actually self-conscious!

It's just that although I am lucky to be taken to heart like this by Chu Nian, the threshold of the Hou Mansion is so high, it is not so close, alas, ask for more blessings!

Showing his waist card, he generously walked in with Tang Li.

It's past noon, and it's quiet in the yard, so it's supposed to be a lunch break, but occasionally you can hear a pleasant flute sound in the distance, probably someone is secretly practicing, working hard for the future that doesn't know when it will come.

I stopped and was attracted by the melodious sound of the flute, and curiously pointed to the bamboo forest in the depths of the corridor in the distance and asked the guard leading the way, "Where is the front?" ”

"My lord, that's an open-air venue where the girls practice their dancing on weekdays."

"You don't have to follow, let's go and see."

Tang Li followed behind me and whispered, "Why did the adults break him up?" ”

"Don't you think this guard looks familiar?"

Hearing me say this, Tang Li furrowed his brows and recalled seriously: "It seems that I saw it at the banquet yesterday." Will it be someone who will escort the dancing girl? ”

I shook my head uncertainly and said, "Possibly, but I saw another scene." ”

Tang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did the adults see?" ”

"He once appeared when Jiang Qingping left the table, and he simply whispered a few words and went downstairs, and it seemed that he was very trusted by Jiang Qingping."

Tang Li was shocked, "So, Jiang Qingping has the intention to swallow Yunjiaofang privately?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, "Who knows, if there is one of them, there will be someone else, and I have to find a way to avoid the eyes and ears of these people." ”

Passing through the cloister and going deep into the bamboo forest, I saw a large open-air platform, and the people on the platform danced like butterflies, playing, delicate and lovely.

Offstage, the two girls dressed very casually, but they were very happy to play the bamboo flute, and the music was also very lively, and they cooperated with the people on the stage very tacitly.

At this time, Tang Li took out two portraits and handed them to me, "My lord, the woman in blue is named Ling Pei'er, and the woman in yellow is called Wen Ya." ”

Ling Pei'er I saw it yesterday, and I just looked at it from a distance, and her face was sickly at that time, and she was so energetic after not seeing her for a day, which was a bit interesting.

"The two Rakie below will also check." Because I found out that one of the girls who played the wind also spoke, and that was the slightly timid girl.

"Yes."

The melodious and beautiful flute sound under the stage gradually stopped, and the graceful dance on the stage also stopped, such a dynamic dance music is much better than yesterday's only charming and soulless dance, and I can't help but clap my hands and applaud after appreciating.

The sound startled the four people on the stage, and another girl playing the flute looked around vigilantly and shouted, "Who? Who dares to come here to peep? ”
