Chapter 16: Xulai Township
Leave Zang's house. On the street, the moonlight is half-shining, and the surface of the lake reflects the weeping willows on the shore.
"Anonymous letter." Zhang Qining stretched out a hand.
"What?" Zhan Sui Yu pretended not to know.
Zhang Qining: "Liao Zicheng is the head catcher of Suzhou Mansion, but he can't see him when he investigates the case, isn't it strange?" And before you went to Zangfu, you met him and just talked, didn't you? ”
Zhan Suiyu smiled: "The eyes are good." So? What happened to anonymous letters? ”
"If Gongzi Zhan has to explain everything clearly to the girl's family, you are too a failure as a man." Zhang Qining stretched out his hand to him, "I did you a favor, and I can be regarded as involved in this matter." Curious, can't you? ”
Zhan Suiyu put her hand on her hand, palmed it against her palm, and then held it.
"What are you doing?"
Zhan Sui Yu's merry peach blossom eyes looked at her with a smile, "The girls have taken the initiative to reach out, what else can I do without seeing it?" That being a man is too much of a failure. ”
Zhang Qining struggled twice and didn't break away, so he simply gave up. "Zhan Suiyu, I just want to ask you for an anonymous letter."
"You're always interested in things that don't matter."
"It doesn't matter? So what's important? People have so many days to live in their lives, but there are not so many things to do about themselves, do they? ”
"Absolutely. For example..."Zhan Sui Yu was helpless: "You can be nervous now, be shy, and then-"
Zhang Qining: "And what?" ”
"Then listen to me tell you about the contents of the anonymous letter."
"Aren't you tired of going around in such a big circle? I can see for myself. ”
"The letter said that Zang Mansion began to die one after another three or four years ago, and the death was the same as tonight's, they were all strangled to death."
Why did he suddenly start talking to himself? Zhang Qining could only listen to it, but after listening to it, he felt that something was wrong.
"That guy knows he's going to die tonight?"
Zhan Suiyu: "It wasn't written in the letter, it should be a coincidence." ”
Zhang Qining: "The letter was sent before the crime, and then there was a murder in Zang Mansion, which was too coincidental in terms of timing. Don't you suspect that it was the messenger who shouted to catch the thief? ”
"A thief shouts to catch a thief? Who is the thief? And this letter was not delivered tonight, a few days earlier. ”
"Could it have been premeditated?"
"It's possible. The messenger should know something. The letter said that the place where Zang Fu disposed of the body after the death was confirmed, and Liao Zhutou reported it to be true after verification. I hope that the Zang family will settle down recently, don't let people fish in troubled waters, I will let people stare at me. ”
"So you used the topic to seal Zang Mansion in disguise, because of what was said in the letter?"
"If the family in the house dies, the family can be asked to collect the funeral, but the people in Zang Mansion have dealt with it at their own expense. If he really was so sympathetic to his subordinates, he would have reported to the police at the time of the crime. The Zang family didn't want this matter to come to the fore, and the government would definitely go to investigate the Zang family when the letter was handed over, and the most unfavorable one was the Zang family.
The whole article said that the Zang family asked people to bury the corpse, but it was not mentioned that the Zang family killed the person. How could he be okay if he knew so much? If the person was killed by the Zang family, why didn't he say it directly in the letter? It may not be the Zang family who killed people, but it can't be separated from the relationship.
From the perspective of the description of the incident, it is very likely that the other party is a person in Zang's mansion, and this kind of content is either written by himself or written by someone he trusts very much. The paper used is common ordinary paper, and from the wording, you should have read the book for a few years, plus it has something to do with Zangfu. I have already asked Liao Zhutou to investigate, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”
"Cover your ears and steal the bell, stupid." Zhang Qining sighed.
Zhan Suiyu was curious for a moment, "Then if it were you, what would you do?" ”
Zhang Qining didn't think about it for long, and said directly: "If you want me, I will directly throw the corpse in front of the gate of Zang Mansion." ”
What, what?
Zhan Suiyu was sure that there was nothing wrong with her ears, and she continued: "Since that person knows the contents of the letter, it means that he is either a participant in the Zang family's disposal of the corpse, or a bystander.
No matter which one it is, when another person dies, no matter who it is, I have access to the corpse, and it is very easy to transport the corpse away without knowing it, or dig it up and transport it away.
Since Zang Fu arranged for someone to bury the corpse, he would inevitably think of an excuse to cover up the fact of transporting the corpse. As an insider, of course, he can take advantage of this in turn, transport the body back, and put it at the gate of Zang Mansion when there is no one. Even if someone finds out, it can push the matter back to Zang Fu's head, after all, there are several such corpses that can be used as evidence, isn't it?
No matter which one it is, it will cause a lot of commotion, and when it reaches the ears of the government, it will inevitably force the government to investigate. Whether the official is honest or impartial, he must intervene in it, which is a double insurance, and it is much more reliable than an anonymous letter that I don't know if it will be useful.
Again, today's Suzhou Mansion Yin Qin Xiwen is a civil official from a clean stream, and he is an official and fair, and he will never do things hastily. That's why it's the most effective. It's best not to be discovered, if someone is found out as an insider, according to Lord Qin's temperament, he will definitely save my life, and he will not hand me over to Zang Fu.
It not only achieved its goal, but also saved his life, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Seeing that Zhan Suiyu didn't speak, Zhang Qining suddenly reacted to what he had just said to him, looked stunned, and pulled his hand out of his hand. She observed Zhan Suiyu's expression, and she couldn't see any clues except for surprise.
"Throwing corpses, digging graves, digging graves, shortcuts to achieve goals in this world often lack moral constraints."
"Are you someone who likes to take shortcuts?" Zhan Suiyu asked.
"Not very much. Because the premise of taking such shortcuts is often more troublesome. Zhang Qining barely thought about it.
Not very much means that it is necessary and will not refuse. Zhan Suiyu's eyes flashed, and then he stretched out his hand towards her.
"You, what do you do?"
He said, "Hands." ”
"Why give it to you?"
"Everything that goes to Ben Gongzi's hands is mine, who allowed you to take it back. Put it back. ”
“......”
Seeing Zhan Sui Yu's comfortable appearance holding her hand, how did Zhang Qining think that he was using himself as a hand stove?
Zhan Suiyu sent her back to the Spring Breeze Triumphant Restaurant.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shi Niang leaning on the wooden board with a playful look, holding a long-rod pipe with a black body and gold pattern in her hand and knocking on the table.
"Yo, sent back? It's been an hour, and I thought you-"
Zhan Sui Yu glanced at her, and saw You Shi Niang sitting there spitting clouds. I don't know what she's smoking, it doesn't taste like smoke, but it smells of flowers and herbs.
"Why don't you come back?" He said.
Shi Niang secretly rubbed and smiled: "If you don't come back, there are a lot of things you can do." ”
Her tone was too ambiguous, and Zhang Qining raised her forehead and said, "What else can you put in your old and unserious mind?" ”
Shi Niang snorted, "It's all fake." It's all here, so let's be together. ”
"Where to go? Old fox, you're okay again. ”
You Shi Niang took a long puff of her pipe and exhaled a puff of white air. The surrounding was followed by a sea of clouds, and Zhan Suiyu only felt that he was driving the clouds and mist, and after a while, the spring breeze became a different scene in the restaurant.
"Why did you bring two dolls?" A young man dressed as a scholar in Tsing Yi sat cross-legged on the branch of a giant tree more than ten meters high and more than ten meters wide, and before he remembered to introduce himself, he fell from the tree. In the process from top to bottom, they have fallen and carried a lot of peach blossoms.
"In Xia Tsing Yi, he is the master of Xulai Township here."
Shi Niang walked over and waved one hand, and several bottles of wine fell neatly to the ground.
Shi Niang's own wine is easier to get drunk than those ordinary products, and a sip like Zhang Qining's is already shaky just by smelling the aroma of the wine.
"Wild and floating Zheng drink, mountain wine and pottery towels. But let a thousand days get drunk, what a pity for two or three springs. ”
She smirked as she closed her eyes and chanted poetry, and stretched out her hand to draw rhythmically in circles in the air. Zhan Sui Yu was a little puzzled.
"She's so bad at drinking?"
"Shi Niang's brewing forgets worries, and the gods can forget their sorrows when they drink it. This girl has a heavy mind and has been suppressed for too long, but she doesn't know that it only takes a small opportunity to ignite. Tsing Yi said. Squinting his eyes, I saw him scratching his head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't have to hide my mouth, just talk about it." Childe, don't be surprised. ”
"Hmm..." Zhang Qining opened his eyes anxiously, and what caught his eye was a handsome Langjun falling from the sky in the peach blossom rain. She put her arms around Zhan Suiyu's shoulders, rested her chin on it, and smiled at Tsing Yi: "Where did Lang Jun come from?" It's so handsome. ”
The corners of Zhan Suiyu's eyes twitched, and this was full of flirtatious tone.
"Zhang Qining, you stand up for me!"
He pushed Zhang Qining, but who knew that not only did he not throw her off his body, but also gave her a chance.
Zhang Qining walked around in front of him and picked up his chin, laughing in disgust. "How can there be another one? looks good-looking, like Zhan Sui Yu. ”
"Poof." Shi Niang couldn't hold back when she saw this, and squirted out a mouthful of wine. "Poofha, this girl is so drunk that I like it!" stared at it with great interest, "It's rare, this girl is really a rare good embryo, it's worth training." ”
"Shut up!" Zhan Suiyu turned her head, finally pulled Zhang Qining away, a layer of pink burned on her ears, she held her shoulder and shook it, and shouted: "Zhang Qining, put your brain back!" ”
Zhang Qining's eyes blinked, "Are you angry?" ”
She stepped forward and hugged his neck, rubbing it in his arms flatteringly, and the light fragrance on her body rushed to Zhan Suiyu, making his body stiff and not daring to move. "Don't be angry. You are a beauty, I will spoil you, obediently. ”
Zhan Suiyu's entire face darkened. Shi Niang on the side was already laughing so much that she couldn't help but convuls, and even Tsing Yi couldn't bear to look away.
Shi Niang couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhan Gongzi - poof." Do you need us to move our seats? ”
"Get out."
Zhang Qining wrapped his arms around Zhan Suiyu's neck and continued to flirt, and he was called a skilled person when he got started. Where did she learn all these things? Who did you learn from? After careful investigation, Zhan Suiyu's whole face was not good.
"Lin Zhao, what are you thinking?" Zhang Qining leaned into her ear, and Lan Xi spat lightly.
Zhan Suiyu didn't stand firmly, took a step back, propped his hands back on the ground, looked at Zhang Qining in horror, and even his expression froze for a moment. "What are you calling me?"
"Your words, stupid and stupid." Zhang Qining nodded his nose and stuck his tongue out at him like a three-year-old child. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and suddenly thought of something, and said endlessly: "I will use my tongue to kill my brain, do you want to see it?" ”
"Stop, don't lean over!" Zhan Suiyu pressed her head against her to prevent her from approaching.
"Poofhaha!" Shi Niang couldn't bear it anymore, and rolled directly on the ground covered with peach blossom petals. "This girl is a genius!"
"You..." Zhan Suiyu's eyes darkened in obscurity, and he didn't care that Zhang Qining was still holding his neck, so he picked up the person horizontally and walked around the back of the tree.
Shi Niang said unremarkably: "Yo, Zhan Gongzi, I was flipped up." Congratulations! ”
Tsing Yi put one hand behind his back, and said with some worry: "This... Does it really matter? ”
Shi Niang waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's not uncommon for Zhan Sui Yu to do things that take advantage of people's danger." I just feel a little embarrassed and don't want to be seen by us. ”
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be. I often hear Chen Xiu complain after drinking: Who pretended to be a public servant and secretly yin the prisoners last time. Last time, who politely pushed off the business trip and went to live happily by himself. And last time...
Shi Niang shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay." Besides, didn't you see the two of them moving in the red luan, and the marriage line was tightly twisted into one? ”
Tsing Yi nodded: "I see." ”
"Then borrow two auspicious words."
"Who?!"
Everyone was on alert, and Shi Niang looked at the man in the Xuan Zhu costume on the side and elegantly raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine, revealing the innate nobility that he couldn't learn from beginning to end.
"You are..."
This is Xulai Township in Tsing Yi, and others can't get in, so who is he? Tsing Yi recognized him and smiled respectfully: "I haven't seen him for three hundred years, and Your Majesty's demeanor is still the same." ”
Shi Niang: "Do you know him?" ”
The light imperial robe of Xuan Zhu was on his body, and the crown of red gold filigree tied the black hair, just sitting there was so beautiful that it was incomprehensible.
"Your Majesty? What generation of emperor are you? ”
He tasted the wine and was silent, and Tsing Yi replied for him: "Three hundred years ago, the last king of the Li Dynasty. Abolish the emperor, Xiao Chulan. ”
The atmosphere was suddenly awkward. The abolished emperor is still the king of the dead country, and he can still sit here so calmly.
Shi Niang was curious, "You have the breath of Zhan Sui Yu on your body, did you run out of him?" He's your reincarnation. ”
Xiao Chulan smiled, the answer was already obvious.
Shi Niang continued: "How did you and Tsing Yi meet? ”
Xiao Chulan raised his eyes: "I, I don't know him." ”
"What?"
Tsing Yi didn't seem to care. "Mortals entering and leaving Xulai Township are a dream. Remembering is fate, forgetting is also fate. With that, he looked in Zhang Qining's direction and smiled silently.
