Chapter 372 The lower officials are polite
By the way, there's another suspicion that I almost forgot to mention. Xie Jingyi walked to the door of the cellar and turned back and said.
That's why, that night, Song Yao was knocked unconscious, and Mrs. Caidie was strangled to death, without making any abnormal sounds. That night, there were so many people living in the garden that it was impossible not to hear them at all. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the lantern in his hand, "No wonder you asked me if I had a strange smell." One possibility is that the two people who were stunned by the murderer, after entering the door, did something wrong to Mrs. Caidie, and then killed her; So there is no sound; ”
"Second, the murderer and Mrs. Caidie are old acquaintances, he knocked out Ah Yao, and Mrs. Caidie not only did not scream, but did something with him. I don't know what the reason is, I was killed. The murderer blamed Ah Yao. ”
"But I really can't figure out why it's Ah Yao."
Xie Jingyi sighed softly, "Let's go!" If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, check it, see it with your eyes, listen with your ears, and you'll know it naturally. ”
"Thank you." Shopkeeper Zhao's voice was a little choked.
Xie Jingyi cleared his throat and raised his chin, "Okay, okay, who called me Third Uncle Xie, I have to cover your little brother!" These days, it's not easy to be a big brother! ”
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at her arrogantly, like a bully, and couldn't help but smile, and his voice was a little louder, "Thank you." ”
Xie Jingyi waved his hand and went out.
Obviously, they often meet, but Xie Jingyi feels as if he hasn't seen Chai Er for a long time.
"Can the Imperial Observatory always drink tea in the teahouse so leisurely?" Xie Jingyi stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth.
Chai Youchen listened to what Xie Jingyi said about Gou Shanzhong's appeal, let Chai Gui go out, held the tea cup thoughtfully, heard Xie Jingyi's words, raised his head, and wiped the corners of Xie Jingyi's mouth with a handkerchief.
Xie Jingyi shrank his neck, snatched the handkerchief, and wiped it a few times by himself.
"How do you do it!"
Chai Youchen smiled, "I can't see it, Shopkeeper Zhao is not a good kind when he looks at it on weekdays, but he used to be so cowardly." If Xie San is a man, then I will ...... too."
"What?" Xie Jingyi asked curiously.
"Marry as you go!" Chai Youchen said, took out another handkerchief, and wiped the dim sum residue on Xie Jingyi's hand.
Xie Jingyi snorted, "It's better to say than to sing." also laughed at Zhao's shopkeeper's cowardice, and I didn't know that some people, alas, never dared to say a word in their lives. Got a few copper children that no one knew......"
Chai Youchen's face darkened, gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to mention the past!" ”
"If you don't mention black history, what do you mention?" Xie Jingyi said, clapped his hands, confirmed that there was no slag on his hands, swept his eyes to the table, took a bowl of smoothie and ate it, this will not fall off the slag.
"Now that the opponent's black history has been sent to us, if we don't kill her, we will lose."
Chai Youchen was not surprised, "The other party is not a person who sits still, don't take it lightly." The official family intends to accept Gou Shanzhong, and you have done this well. ”
Xie Jingyi looked at Chai Youchen in disbelief, "What's that?" Am I done? Isn't this the task given to you by the government? I was kind enough to help, and I even gave me orders. ”
Xie Jingyi said, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he laughed.
Chai Youchen had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Well, speaking of which, my grade is higher than yours! Chai Youchen, don't you salute when you see Shangfeng? ”
Sure enough, it came!
Chai Youchen cleared his throat, even if he knew that he would be the marquis in the future, but now his grade was indeed inferior to Xie Jingyi! Whoever called Black Feather Guard is just such a kitten with three or two, and the promotion is fast! Unlike their civil officials, no matter how much they are promoted, they have to stay up for years!
Xie Jingyi couldn't help laughing when he saw Chai Youchen struggling.
"Hurry, hurry! Don't say anything in moderation, I don't know these four words! Let me be awe-inspiring! ”
Chai Youchen rubbed Xie Jingyi's head helplessly, "Thank you, Shangguan, Xiaguan Chai Er is polite!" ”
Xie Jingyi immediately stood up, "What should I do, I feel that I have reached the peak of my life and am complete!" ”
"It's not promising!"
"Hahaha, no matter what you say, I'll treat you as sour!"
Chai Youchen's eyes moved slightly, "Why don't we make a bet." ”
Xie Jingyi was really sucked into his spirit, "Bet on what?" How to bet? ”
"Let's bet, who is the murderer!"
Xie Jingyi cut off, "Is this still a gamble?" No betting, no betting, we all have the same answer. Or, bet on the bizarre thing that will happen next! ”
Chai Youchen laughed, "I guess someone came to confess." ”
Xie Jingyi's expression collapsed, and he waved his hand speechlessly, "Forget it, betting with you is the same as my left hand and right hand betting, it is extremely boring." It's better to gamble with the shopkeeper Zhao, and I will win money when I go back. The few times I lost, I was afraid that he would keep losing, so he didn't bet with me anymore! ”
Chai Youchen's original intention was to divert her attention, but now that he has retired, he no longer holds on to betting.
"By the way, when I entered the palace today, Mama Fang beside your second sister sent me a message, wanting you to find some pearls for her. Say it doesn't need to be big, but it should be round enough. ”
Xie Jingyi was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Got it." Is my second sister okay? ”
Chai Youchen nodded, "Don't worry." ”
Xie Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It just so happened that I got a new batch of Nanzhu in my shop, and I was going to sew a bead robe, so I happened to be with her." I will give it to you in two days. ”
The two talked again, and the sun gradually turned west, and Chai Gui returned from his errands, set up a carriage, and sent the two back. As soon as he entered the door, Zhai Shi had to interrogate him again.
Finally quieted down late at night, Xie Jingyi just wanted to draw a picture of the night, but was swept away by the two figures squatting on the roof.
She rolled her eyes, beckoned, and the two figures jumped down with a whoosh, and went straight into the house.
Guan Huizhi let go of his hand and rubbed his elbow, "Can you eat less?" If I do this again, I won't even be able to lift it! The stone locks in our house are not as heavy as yours! ”
She said, grabbing Xie Jingyi's arm, "Why haven't you been looking for me for so long, Uncle Zhao is still bragging, saying that he used to be brilliant in the capital, do you dare to believe it?" If he is better looking than Zhai Qingxiu, I, Guan Huizhi, will immediately take Geng post and marry him. ”
Xie Jingyi patted Guan Huizhi's hand indescribably, "Before him, he was indeed like Pan An!" Although I also have an eye! ”
Guan Huizhi was stunned, circled around the shopkeeper Zhao, and patted his big belly again, "I didn't say anything before!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao snapped and slapped Guan Huizhi's hand, "Okay!" Yellow-haired girl, it's almost the same as being a girl for me! ”
As he spoke, his hands trembled, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xie Jingyi, "I also said that I was going to look for Huang Juan, and when I went back, my eldest nephew gave me this, which is Yi Wei's suicide note." The dog thing was received three years ago, stuffed into a pile of paper, and forgot to give it to me. I don't dare to read it, read it to me! ”
