Chapter 373: Easy to be the last word
Xie Jingyi took the letter and looked at it carefully, the envelope was yellowed, and there was a little confetti on it, and when he took it to his nose and smelled it, there was a strange citrus smell.
"When did you get the citrus-flavored paper?"
As she spoke, she took the letter and shone it in front of the candlestick, and made sure that there was no sign of it being opened.
Shopkeeper Zhao scratched his head, "I can't remember the specifics, but every time I come out with a new one, I will write it down in the booklet and put it in the dark grid next to Ah Yao's tablet." ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, "You remember to check, be careful." ”
It's not that Xie Jingyi is naturally suspicious, this matter is too coincidental, Zhao's shopkeeper's eldest nephew is indeed lazy by nature, sitting in the paper shop and guarding the store, and always napping and not doing anything, and forgetting the letter casually, which is reasonable.
But his father, Zhao Qingjiang, was also the one who appeared at the scene that night.
If three years ago, Zhao's shopkeeper hadn't made a citrus-flavored paper at all, then his eldest nephew was lying, and if it had it a long time ago, then he was also lying. Because where he can put it at his fingertips, the papers piled up must be the latest at the moment, or the best paper to sell.
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded, kept staring at the letter, but this time he didn't shout excitedly: XXX is impossible, he is credible, this kind of thing.
Xie Jingyi gently tore open the letter, took it out and looked at it, the paper inside was already yellowed, "Is it a word that is easy to do?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao glanced at it and nodded, "There's nothing wrong." ”
Xie Jingyi took a serious look at it.
"My brother lacks relatives, in order to travel far away at sea in the future, the future is difficult and dangerous, and there are many auspicious ones. For the sake of guilt, if you don't die once in your life, it is really difficult to let go. ”
"If I don't have a return date this time, my wife will present this letter to my brother as my last words; If he can return safely, he will set foot in the capital again, personally go to Ayao's grave to ask for guilt, and then seek the imperial examination. ”
"That sunrise Gong, in order to pass through the courtyard of Caidie, I saw that the door was empty, and there was no one around, so I wanted to call Ayao back, but when I hesitated, I saw a person entering. Wearing a mantle and hood, he can't see his face. ”
"I thought it was weird, but I didn't step forward, so I didn't mention it. When I came out of Gong's room, I saw a note in front of the door, with my parents' names written on it. After Ayao had an accident, in order to think about it again and again, he went to Kaifeng Mansion to find the official Liu Feng to secretly report the matter. ”
But the next day, in the hall, there was no mention of half a sentence, and when I returned home that day, I met a pair of dead birds on the way. Because he was as timid as a mouse and unworthy of being a man, he never mentioned Ah Yao again. When Ah Yao has been innocent of his suicide, it will be too late to regret it. ”
"I have been studying hard for more than ten years for the cold window, and I think I am a righteous gentleman, but I do this villain's thing, what kind of face do you have, and what confidence do you have to be an official? is to leave Kyoto, see Ayao again without face, and goodbye to the missing brother. ”
In the absence of this letter, he is dead, and there is no need to mourn. The family has been arranged, and there is only one wish, please ask Ah Yao to ask for guilt on his behalf. Brother is easy to do, don't read it. ”
Xie Jingyi spoke quickly, and quickly finished reading the letter.
She folded the letter, and looked at the envelope again, only to see that there was still a small note inside, and the words on it were a little blurred, but she could vaguely see that it was the names of two people.
This piece of paper should be the note that Gou Yiwei picked up at the door of Gong's room to threaten him.
Xie Jingyi thought about it, carefully stuffed the note and letter into the envelope, and handed it to the shopkeeper Zhao, "Take this, go to Dali Temple, and you can justifiably reopen the old case." ”
"What we thought before was right, that night, it was indeed not only Song Yao who entered Mrs. Caidie's room, but also the people next to him. There must be something wrong with that person, so Gou Yiwei will be threatened. There is also the official Liu Feng, this person is still serving in Kaifeng Mansion. I met him not long ago. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao's hand trembled, his face was solemn, but he didn't cry again.
"I see. Everyone is close to each other, Ah Wei is the only child in the family, and he has a close relationship with his parents, so he can't be blamed for this choice. At that time, we were all young and had no foresight...... Ah punished himself for him, and he didn't take the imperial examination in his life......"
Xie Jingyi didn't comment on this, she looked out the window and yawned, "It's not too early, let's go back first." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded, walked towards the door, walked for a long time, saw Guan Huizhi not moving, and turned his head again, "Brother Guan?" Gone? If you don't leave, I won't be able to go up the beam, and I won't be able to climb over the wall! ”
Guan Huizhi came back to his senses, and stared at the shopkeeper Zhao with the eyes of a wild wolf when he saw the little white rabbit, "When you were young, you were really stunning in the capital?" ”
The old face of the shopkeeper Zhao turned red, "Although it has been blown a little, it is indeed a beautiful little Langjun, walking on the road, there are little ladies throwing flowers and fruits at me." ”
The corners of Xie Jingyi's mouth twitched when she heard this, speaking of which, she had always been very puzzled, just throw flowers, what's the matter with throwing melons and fruits? Aren't you afraid that people will take it with your face and drop a persimmon flesh watermelon pulp?
If you throw an apple, good guy, Pan An will have to be beaten into Pan An.
Guan Huizhi's eyes brightened, she stretched out her hand and patted Zhao's shopkeeper's stomach, "From Ming'er, you don't eat meat anymore, and you should eat less rice." If you are hungry, nibble on radishes and boil cabbage in water. Every day before dawn, I go to walk Ah Huang, don't use walking, use running. ”
She said, looking at the shopkeeper Zhao sadly, "How can you bear it in your heart, how can you bear it in your heart!" Zhao is lacking, what is missing, is the heart! The most undesirable thing for me is that others spoil their beauty! ”
"Wu Wuhu left and right out of Beijing, and no one accompanied me for morning exercises, so I will go to look for you in the future. If you dare not listen, I will whip you!" Draw until you're skinny Pan'an! ”
Shopkeeper Zhao took a few steps back, "Can I call you grandpa?" If you don't eat meat and gnaw on turnips, then I might as well die! ”
Guan Huizhi raised a finger, "Just slim down and let me take a look, let me take a look at Zhao Que's little beauty, and then I won't care about you!" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhao was unmoved, Guan Huizhi immediately said, "Song Yao's matter, there must be a powerful person behind it, and you can't be a little shopkeeper." But I can, just in case, I said in case, the murderer can't be caught, I'll Guan Huizhi click him for you, how about it? ”
Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and looked at Xie Jingyi, "With Xie San here, you must be able to catch it." ”
Guan Huizhi jumped three feet high, "Ah Yi, look, look at this sycophant!" ”
Xie Jingyi laughed, "You lived for Ayao before, and after this case is over, live for yourself, Uncle Zhao." No matter how fat you are, no matter how fat you are, our coffin won't be able to fit you, you sit on this end, I will sit on that end, and it can become a seesaw. ”
"On the beam, as soon as Brother Guan lets go, you can smash a hole in the roof. How can you confuse those grandmothers and aunts in the future? ”
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at his stomach, looked at the two people in front of him, and sighed with emotion in his heart, "Okay." ”
