Chapter 269: Doubts
Everyone in this world has their own worries, and it doesn't matter if they are hidden in their hearts and not discovered, if they are forcibly removed by uninformed people, it will only hurt and become a blur of flesh and blood.
Su Jingye glanced at Zhao Ming, and couldn't help complaining that he was too eyesightly, but he had no position, and he didn't have a reason to say anything about him, so he just looked at it and pointed to the case next to the plum blossom.
"Lord Zhao, look here."
Shunzhi Su Jingye looked in the direction of his fingers, Zhao Ming also stretched out two fingers to touch the table, and when he withdrew his hand, he found that the tips of his fingers were smeared with a thick layer of dust, and there were even faint knots of spider webs.
"It's not that people come to clean every day, why is it so early? It seems that the people in this drunken building are just ruined by the outside, and they know that few people set foot here, so they simply don't come to clean up. ”
"This king wants to ask Lord Zhao to pay more attention to the two incense sticks on it, where is Lord Zhao going?"
Su Jingye gritted his back molars, almost squeezing out these words from between his teeth, and when he heard Zhao Ming say the last two sentences, he couldn't help but put away all his dissatisfaction.
"How did Lord Zhao know that very few people came to set foot here?"
Zhao Ming blinked his eyes in puzzlement, as if he didn't understand why he would ask such a thing, so he said with a smile.
"This is also a problem that can be seen obviously, even if there is so much dust on it, there are even cobwebs on it, if someone comes, the spiders will be too scared to build webs in such an obvious place."
"What's more, Lord Wang, please look here." Zhao Ming said, leading Su Jingye to take a few steps in his direction, and behind the center of the bead curtain in this small compartment, there was also a low long table and soft stool, which seemed to be convenient for people who came to play the piano to sit temporarily.
"If it is said that no one is watching on the case, it is reasonable that dust will accumulate, then this small table is always undeniable."
Zhao Ming didn't sacrifice his fingers this time, but only took the corner of the white handkerchief that Su Jingye had just wrapped in crumbs and dirt, and wiped it on this table, and another heavy layer of ash was stained on it.
The movements were so smooth and fast that Su Jingye didn't even have the time to stop, he looked at the black on the corner of the handkerchief, and his heart was even more painful and almost wanted to drop blood.
Originally, it was already very distressing to wrap mud, but thinking that the soil was dry and easy to wash, Su Jingye forced himself not to pay much attention to it, and now it was stained with such a heavy dust, but he was afraid that his hands would really be scrapped.
"Didn't Wu Sanniang say that this kind of room is specially used to chat with those hypocrites? The business of Zuisheng Building is the best business in the whole Yanliu Lane, maybe there is still a surplus of rooms on the third floor in this area, and even the wing rooms that have not been used for so long? ”
When the words landed, Zhao Ming deliberately glanced at the two twins sitting outside. The two children's black eyes, which were as calm as stagnant water, looked at this side at the same time, looking at Zhao Ming's nervousness.
Zhao Ming swallowed his saliva, barely calming down his mood, he immediately turned to look at Su Jingye, and lowered his voice.
"It seems that this Zuishenglou and Wu Sanniang still have a lot of things to hide from us."
Su Jingye didn't know what he was afraid of, and he didn't know why he came to such a conclusion, but just looking at the twins from his direction made people feel uncomfortable.
In the cubicle here, next to the plum blossom, there is a case book half the height of the Taoist, and apart from two or three small antique utensils, there is only one incense burner in the center of the town.
There is also a picture scroll of a nine-colored deer hanging directly above the incense burner, and it seems that the incense below is dedicated to the nine-colored deer.
Su Jingye deliberately took a few more glances just now, there was no one who paid off on this color road, and he just judged that this person's painting skills were good just from this chemical industry.
Judging from the incense ashes in this furnace and the incense sticks that have not been completely burned, they are not the same as the incense sticks in the plum blossom bonsai.
The main function of incense sticks is to worship the ancestors, or to burn in the large incense burner to beautify the smell of the air, but it is rare that there will be three or two varieties for other purposes.
As long as you add a little drug, you can do whatever you want next.
It's just that these are just speculations, and he can't draw conclusions based on this, and Su Jingye doesn't know much about spices, so it seems that he can only find someone who understands incense to ask for advice in the future.
Regarding Zhao Ming's sudden one-sided opinion on Zuishenglou, Su Jingye has some aspects that can be used as evidence.
In addition to the flower building that was originally used for fun, spices used for it appeared inexplicably, and under the window near the corridor to the right of this press table, there was also a half-person high table.
There was nothing on the desk, Su Jingye walked over to take a look, and it was obvious that he found a person's footprints on the desk.
Looking at the outline, such a large sole of foot seems to be only owned by a man, but unfortunately this footprint is only half of it, so it cannot be ruled out that the woman deliberately wore a man's cloth boots to confuse the human eye.
Looking at the direction of the footprints, Su Jingye, who obviously came in from outside the corridor, pushed open the window for ventilation, and also found some debris of loess in the same direction of the window sill.
In this way, it cannot be ruled out that there is no connection between Sanniang's drunken building and this murder.
Thinking about this, Su Jingye deliberately pulled Zhao Ming's sleeve and showed him all his discoveries and eyes.
Zhao Ming understood, pretended not to find anything, opened the bead curtain, and planned to bring the booklet he put on the table to make a record, at this time, Wu Sanniang also led four or five beautiful girls who had just woken up.
"Didn't the prince and the lord ask me a few questions from the girl in the building? Now I have brought them here, but they have not rested well, except for asking them to entertain guests, and the prince and the lord can mention any problems. ”
Let's say it, the girls standing behind Wu Sanniang couldn't help laughing. This is also Wu Sanniang's usual words as the old bustard of Hualou, but in front of the two children, he did not restrain himself, so he directly made the two of them blacken their faces.
"This king and Lord Zhao are here, but for official business, Sanniang has already known about this matter, so Sanniang can rest assured." Su Jingye said, and looked at the two children who made Zhao Ming creepy again.
"There is another thing, these two people look young, according to the law of our dynasty, they must not be allowed to participate in the business done by Sanniang, and please grasp Sanniang well."
Hearing this, both drunken and dreamy were both eye-catching at the same time. Wu Sanniang didn't have any unhappy look on her face, but she was unexpectedly calm and inexplicable.
She pulled out the handkerchief in her arms, wiped the tip of her nose meaninglessly, and walked to the middle of the twins, put her hands on their shoulders, and responded with a faint smile.
"Although the slave family's business is not visible, it is also law-abiding, although the prince and the lord can rest assured. Otherwise, the slave family would not dare to ask them to come over and serve tea so blatantly,"
"But it's not too early now, the prince and the adults still have something to ask our girl, and they have to start preparing the lunch meal below, the kitchen is short of manpower, so the slave family asked the two of them to go down to help, the prince will not allow this matter, right?"
Wu Sanniang smiled at the corner of her mouth, but no matter how you look at it, her smile makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Su Jingye had nothing to say, he could just nod. "This matter is natural, they are the people in your building, how to arrange it, it is all up to Sanniang."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one noticed this side while the two of them were talking, Zhao Ming hurriedly walked to the table and protected the test baby he had intervened in in the crook of his hand.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Wu Sanniang thanked her, and gently patted the back of the two children's heads and told them to go down. And Zhao Ming's obvious action was also seen by him, he stood aside with a handkerchief, and dismantled his platform mercilessly.
"Lord Zhao, don't hide this thing like a baby, the girl in our building is not an unqualified person, how can she come over at will to take a peek, and please relax Lord Zhao."
"There are fewer and fewer people who pay attention to the connotation now, and more of them still like to go to the back building to sleep, so there are only a few girls who really stayed in the room for a long time last night, and it is a little unexpected to call the slave family."
Wu Sanniang stood aside and explained, but she didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, Su Jingye was inconvenient to say it bluntly, so she didn't look away, Zhao Ming, pretending to cough lightly twice, wanted to remind her to leave, but Wu Sanniang just didn't see it.
"The girls in our family are very shy, and they are usually just ordinary people who talk to each other alone, but today they are the two high-ranking officials of the prince and the adult, so how can they stand it? is still watching from the side, and their hearts are more self-conscious. ”
As soon as these words came out, several girls on the side nodded one after another, saying that Zhao Ming had nothing to refuse, so he had to go on like this.
"This matter is harmless, this prince just has a few questions to ask a few girls, and the girls can go back on their own after asking, don't be nervous."
Su Jingye cleared his throat and pretended not to care in front of Zhao Ming, telling him to have time to record some of Fang Cai's discoveries.
No matter how much he chatted with Wu Sanniang before, when there was no complete evidence to prove Zuishenglou's innocence, Su Jingye still had to keep an appropriate distance from him.
Wu Sanniang glanced at her eyes and noticed the small movements between the two of them, but she only smiled slightly and did not react otherwise.
"May I ask you, girls, have any of you ever entered this room? Or was it around the place yesterday when you were entertaining? Do you hear any unusual sounds? ”
