Qing Lie said in a low voice: "This person is the one who came to Suzhou with the Yun family's local branch shopkeeper in Hunan a few years ago, and he is the servant of the big shopkeeper surnamed Sun on the surface. After the shopkeeper returned to Shaanxi, he stayed in the Sun family's old house in Suzhou to take care of his family's affairs. ”

Zhang Meishou thought along with his words.

At the end of the year, many large businesses will convene branch managers from all over the country to carefully sort out the profit and loss of the accounts of the whole year and discuss important business matters.

This person came to Suzhou with the semicolon shopkeeper at that time, which can be described as not attracting attention at all.

It is not unusual to be left in the old mansion to take care of trivial matters.

However, Hunan ......

Coincidentally, Xiangxi belongs to the Hunan boundary.

And Hunan is the jurisdiction of Gu Fengzhi, the governor of Huguang.

This alone is indeed worth investigating.

She looked at Qingyeol.

There must be other anomalies in the suspicions.

Sure enough, I heard Qinglie say: "However, after investigation, this person secretly often goes in and out of gambling houses and fireworks, and he is generous - and he goes there in disguise, which is completely different from the dress of the servants in the daytime. ”

Of course, this alone does not mean much.

Regardless of whether the way is right or not, it may be that people have a way to make money.

Or they don't want to attract attention, for fear of being scolded by the master, so they disguise themselves slightly.

Qinglie continued: "Today, his subordinates personally followed him for a while, and it was not until he returned to the old house of the Sun family that he really discovered something strange - this person is in the Sun family, there is a single courtyard, and he does not live with other subordinates, and there is a family member in the courtyard to serve him. That family is a person who practices martial arts, if it weren't for the extra caution of his subordinates, he was afraid that he would be detected. ”

Thinking about it, he is used to doing such secret errands, if he is replaced by Qingyu and them, I am afraid that the other party will find traces on the spot, so as to startle the snake.

It is not unreasonable for His Royal Highness to send him to escort Miss Zhang to Suzhou.

Zhang Meishou didn't notice that the other party felt good about himself, and when he was about to ask the middle-aged man's appearance, he saw Qinglie take out something from his sleeve.

"This is a rough picture of the other party drawn by the subordinates, please take a look at the girl."

He offered it with both hands.

Zhang Meishou took it and unfolded it.

The portrait painted on the paper shows that he is a middle-aged man with upright facial features and some thin and sunken cheeks.

"Good at drawing, did you learn to draw?"

Zhang Meishou asked casually while rolling up the portrait.

"The girl praised it, it's just a hobby to pass the time when she has nothing to do."

Thinking of the portrait that Cotton had painted, Ah Li on the side looked out the window silently.

The cotton guarding under the window turned his head to meet her, as if he had been checked.

I saw a hint of hatred on Ah Li's face, her lips moved lightly, and she silently spit out a word-learn.

As a big girl, she doesn't want to lose to the maids next to her everywhere, and her man naturally can't lose to other entourage.

Cotton silently turned her head.

It's easy to be an entourage, but it's hard to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Girl, do you want to control the person first, or bring it to see the girl." Seeing that Zhang Meishou didn't speak for a while, Qinglie took the initiative to ask.

"Although your martial arts are set above him, this person may be very good at poisoning, and he must not fight with him rashly."

There are some poisons in this world that attack very quickly, and even if she wants to, it will be too late to save her.

Qing Lie died in his last life for secretly investigating the Bai family's case, and this time Zhu Youzhu saved the person and handed it over to her, so she couldn't ask him to take this risk.

"For now, I just need to stare secretly, and then I can find out the other party's identity first, and then try to lure the person out."

Qinglie heard that he should say "yes".

"It's never advisable to fight in close quarters, but there is one thing that needs to be done by you."

"The girl just commands."

"When it's time for him to go out, sneak into the bedroom and get a few hairs."

“？”

Qingyeol had confusion in his eyes.

But it wasn't his turn to ask more about the reason, so he just did it.

After Qinglie retreated, Zhang Meishou said to Ah Li: "Go and ask the Tian family to come over." ”

This portrait is very vivid and expressive.

She didn't recognize the people on it.

And if Tian recognizes it, it can prove that he has not found the wrong person.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Tian came with Ah Li.

"Girl."

"Let's see."

Zhang Meishou pointed to the portrait on the table.

Tian had already heard Ah Li explain the situation on the way, and now he stepped forward without hesitation and unfolded the portrait to look at it.

With just one glance, his complexion has changed dramatically.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, he made sure that it was the person in his memory, and he couldn't help but muttered in shock: "How could it be him......"

Zhang Meishou suddenly had hope in his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Is he a member of the Nan family?" ”

It took Tian a while to nod.

"Yes."

Her gaze was still glued to the portrait, and she said, "This is my uncle from the family." ”

"Uncle?" Zhang Meishou was a little puzzled for a while.

Tian explained in a low voice: "Because we want to select the most talented concubines of each generation to inherit the Gu arts, the Nan family is a little different from other families, and it is often necessary to recruit a concubine - my father is the son-in-law of the Nan family, and the person in this painting is my mother's half-brother. ”

It's just that when she was young, her father fell ill and died, and the person who replaced her father's teaching was her grandfather, who was the last head of the family before the collapse of the Nan family.

Zhang Meishou realized this.

It turns out that the Nan family is equivalent to the maternal grandfather of the Tian family.

So even if this uncle is a concubine, he is also a real descendant of the Nan family.

Her heart was completely settled.

In this way, my aunt's Gu will be solved nine times out of ten!

Tian stood at the table and looked at the portrait, caught in great confusion, unable to recover for a long time.

…… Why uncle?

In her memory, one of the few people around her who was willing to spoil her and talk to her when she was a child was this little uncle.

Is there something she doesn't know about?

……

The night is getting deeper, and the thin clouds in the night are like a floating veil, gently brushing the bright crescent moon.

Jinqing is inside, and the Song sisters have rested.

When the lights were turned off, one tile and one wood seemed very quiet under the light moonlight, and only one or two insect chirpings could be faintly heard from the corner of the wall.

In the bedroom where Song Jinniang lived, a figure appeared.

The embroidered shoes were soft and hardly made a sound when they stepped on the ground, and the maid who was guarding the outer room slept soundly and did not notice anything.

The figure walked to the ice cellar with very light steps, took out the key and opened the door.

It was bitterly cold in the ice cellar, and in order not to make a sound, she didn't even wear a coat, only a middle coat, and her teeth were shivering with cold.

She fumbled and lit half of the candle she had prepared, and in an instant, the light and shadow flickered, and a cool breeze blew behind her.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she turned her head suddenly.
