Huo Qingxiu said, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to Xie Jingyi.

Xie Jingyi took it and took a look, there was a black feather lying miserably inside, which was just a little richer than the previous one, and the fluff had fallen off, showing everywhere, this hair should belong to an insignificant little person.

In addition to the black feather, there was a thin piece of paper, although it was thin, but the red ink clay could almost penetrate the back of the paper. More than feathers, that's the key.

Xie Jingyi opened it and took a look, and immediately became happy, she went from the bottom of the rank from the nine-rank petty official to a one-level rise to a nine-grade sesame official.

Compared with ordinary officials, there is a fixed promotion assessment every year, and it is still much easier for Black Feather Wei to be promoted.

She thought about it and glanced at Shopkeeper Zhao, who nodded happily.

He has been in the Black Feather Guard for many years, Xie Jingyi doesn't know what rank he is, and why he works under Huo Qingxiu.

Huo Qingxiu paused, "The last mission was my fault, it was supposed to be a big achievement, but I messed it up." I'm really sorry for the two. ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at Xie Jingyi and Zhao's shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Zhao was suddenly at a loss, hurriedly rushed over, and helped Huo Qingxiu up, "What are you doing?" What followed was something no one could have predicted. Who knows, that assassin is so cruel, not to mention himself, but also slandering people! Or maybe it's the ......"

"All in all, it's no wonder you. Thank you, thank you, I'm right! ”

Xie Jingyi glanced at Huo Qingxiu, "That's right." ”

Huo Qingxiu raised his head, glanced at Xie Jingyi, and pursed his lips when he saw that her expression was as usual.

Shopkeeper Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, he was just a businessman, and he didn't think about what he wanted to be a big official, he had been in the Black Feather Guard for many years, and he was still a small person at the bottom.

People are older, and their mentality is a lot calmer, but the two in front of them are still young, especially Xie Jingyi, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, from that day she looked for Huo Qingxiu, not to mention that she wanted to check his grandfather's house, he knew that this was a ruthless character who was not easy to mess with.

If she had just gotten up, it wouldn't have ended well.

Xie Jingyi pinched the dim sum on the table and took a bite, "So, what is the new task?" ”

"Have you heard of Du Niangzi? Known as Lady Fleur. Huo Qingxiu withdrew his gaze on Xie Jingyi and asked.

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded, "In the past two years, the most popular person in the palace is none other than this Mrs. Furong." As his name suggests, this Du Furong person was born very rich and glorious, with the appearance of Concubine Yang. When the official family was still a prince, I once met her at a flower party. ”

"When she reaches the age of sixteen, she will be admitted to the palace. Du Furong's father was born in Jinshi and used to be a Taifu. It is said that the Queen Mother also likes Mrs. Furong very much, saying that she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a good appearance. But in my opinion, it's just nonsense. ”

When Xie Jingyi heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper Zhao with great interest.

It's really interesting to say, the two people opposite, the one with a high official position, the one who is afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, and the one with a low official position, but they are full of courage and dare to say anything.

"Where does this start?"

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, "Xie San, don't laugh at me, I said this, it's a big axe in front of Luban's door." However, the current queen is from the queen mother's family. What's the matter, the middle palace has to come out of the son-in-law, and it is the turn to get it...... cough cough cough ......"

Xie Jingyi bowed slightly, and what Shopkeeper Zhao said was not rough.

The official family is not the queen mother's son, and the age difference between the two is too big, the queen mother can simply be the grandmother of the official family, how can the two talk about deep friendship. So it is logical that the queen mother chose her own niece and gave her official family as a wife.

Du Furong has a good background and is favored, she is a strong competitor of the queen, how can the queen mother like her?

"So what? What does our task have to do with Du Niangzi? Xie Jingyi asked curiously.

"Du Niangzi has a brother named Du Qi. Last night, in Du Qi's courtyard, a little lady died, Du Qi was so frightened that he screamed and was discovered by the patrolling Praetorian Guards. ”

Xie Jingyi frowned, the case of death should be directly attributed to Kaifeng Mansion for review, why not throw it to Hei Yuwei, there must be something unspeakable in this.

"That little lady, named Xu Zixin, is the daughter of the county commander of Changping County in the suburbs of Beijing, and when she died, she was lying on the bed. Du Qitui said that he didn't know Xu Zixin. But the Praetorian Guards found out that the previous owner of Du Qi's annex was Xu Zixin's father. ”

"In fact, just three days ago, a watchman passed by and found that the little maid next to Du Qi had transported things to bury, and later dug up the body of another little lady."

"Wait...... What do you say is the name of the deceased? Xie Jingyi was pondering the facts of the case and suddenly asked.

Huo Qingxiu looked surprised when he saw her, "Do you know Xu Zixin?" ”

Xie Jingyi neither nodded nor shook his head, "I don't know, it's the same person." But the daughter of the former Hangzhou general judge is called Xu Zixin, and it is rumored that he was transferred to the capital because he took the path of Du Niangzi. ”

"Then it's very likely. Since you know each other, it's even better. Originally, this case was tried by Kaifeng Mansion, but because the deceased had a lot of charms on him, it was very weird. Because she was worried about causing panic among the people, the suspected culprit was Du Niangzi's only brother, and she begged hard, and the case was taken over by Hei Yuwei. ”

Xie Jingyi sighed.

Xu Zixin is indeed very arrogant, and he doesn't like Xie Jingyi. But it is really embarrassing that she ended up in such a field.

What's even more speechless is that Black Feather Guard cares about everything! Do you have to take care of the murder case? In my previous life, I was the housekeeper of an official family, but I thought that being an official would be different in this life, but I didn't expect that it was the same as in my previous life.

No matter how big or small, you have to take care of everything! I'm afraid that even the palace concubine is bald, they have to go out to find a cure for baldness!

"This matter is urgent, Xie San, you go to check Xu Zixin, Zhao's shopkeeper to check whether the Du family has any more properties in the past two years, such as the courtyard owned by Du Qi; I'm going to find out what kind of enemy Du Qi has. That's it. ”

Xie Jingyi picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, "I said, shouldn't the Black Feather Guard be just the three of us except for the Great Commander?" ”

Huo Qingxiu's face flushed, and he said hesitantly, "That'...... How is that possible? ”

Xie Jingyi glanced at him suspiciously, and waved his hand, "Other people, there must be other things to do." The official family has a lot of opportunities......"

Xie Jingyi was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, so he bowed and was about to withdraw.

Huo Qingxiu took three steps and made two steps, chased after him, and said with a red face, "Have you seen Huizhi recently?" I asked someone to post for her, and she ignored me. ”

Xie Jingyi looked at Huo Qingxiu from head to toe, and then remembered Wu Wuhu, "If you don't plan to marry someone else, it's better not to call her name." ”
