Chapter 323: Temptation to help

Today, for some reason, Mo Huaqing actually came uninvited, so he sat in the lobby with Zhao Ming and talked and laughed. Su Jingye really stood in place, and Shi Zhengzhi, who arrived later, walked over and saw it, with the same expression as him, and he stood still and didn't dare to move.

And although Zhao Ming in the lobby seemed to be talking to Mo Huaqing very lively, he only felt that his heart was dripping blood deeply when he had to face such a dignified face all the time.

Mo Huaqing blocked his chin with a fan, pretending to laugh coquettishly twice, but he saw the discomfort on Zhao Ming's face in his heart, and couldn't help but snicker.

"This is not Lord Wang and Lord Shi, why are you two standing at the door, why don't you come in and sit down. Come on, hurry up and serve tea. Zhao Ming reluctantly laughed twice, and out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw the two people standing outside the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found reinforcements, and he hurriedly greeted them together.

Even worried that they would find an excuse to escape, he even asked his subordinates to prepare tea.

Hearing Zhao Ming's words of surprise, Mo Huaqing also followed the voice. Su Jingye and Shi Zhengzhi saw that they couldn't argue, and then the corners of their mouths twitched, and they came over and sat down side by side.

"I thought that people who do business like a girl hate dealing with officials the most, I don't know what Miss Mo took the initiative to come over today, what is the so-called thing?"

"The prince laughed, if a businessman does not deal well with officialdom, he is afraid that his business will not be able to do it for a long time, although I will rarely have the meaning of pretentiousness, but I am not exempt from vulgarity."

Mo Huaqing stood up and bowed down to the two people who were blaming each other. "I've seen the prince, Lord Shi."

"Why don't you see your younger sister?" Su Jingye nodded in response, and asked casually when he sat down. Mo Huaqing then sat down, covered his mouth and replied with a smile. "If I bring her here, I'm afraid that Lord Zhao will be even more uncomfortable."

"Where, where." Zhao Ming waved his hand generously, in fact, what he thought in his heart was that if you don't come, he will be more comfortable.

"I came here today to pay the tax on Liyuan's profits last month, and on the other hand, I heard that there seemed to be a person in the troupe in the yamen, so I thought about helping to watch it, so I didn't let someone replace it, I came over in person."

Mo Huaqing briefly explained her intention today, Shi Zhengzhi sounded a little wrong, taxes are usually managed by the household department, but there are also some people who have a good relationship with the yamen, and those who are sent to the yamen are not a big deal.

Therefore, Shi Zhengzhi did not specifically point it out, and still held the cup and tasted the fragrance of tea.

"Miss Mo is very well-informed. In this way, I really thank you Miss Mo for your thoughtfulness. The other two people in the hall were obviously not willing to speak, so Su Jingye had to come over to talk to him in person.

"It's just that there was a little accident yesterday, and the girl who came over used some heavy punishment, which must be a little scary, and I hope you won't be frightened."

"No," Mo Huaqing shook his head, and then his eyes widened very exaggeratedly as if he had just reacted. "How so, is this woman the murderer, or is her answer unsatisfactory to several adults?"

"It's all possible, but it's not even true." Su Jingye stretched out his right hand and made a downward pressure to make Mo Huaqing calm down, and then explained.

"It's just that we asked her a few questions, and she refused to provide clues after she knew that her friend might become a murderer, and it just so happened that she couldn't get rid of the suspicion herself, so we had to do that."

"I see, then the prince and the lord are really working very hard." Mo Huaqing sighed, and there was no lack of admiration in his tone, so that Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed when he heard it, and waved his hand embarrassedly.

"Then can you take the folk girl in to see that girl now, and the folk girl can help confirm whether she is from the Tiger Run troupe."

In fact, yesterday's words are not so important in confirming the relationship. However, Mo Huaqing took the initiative to stand up like this, Su Jingye and the two people next to him glanced at each other, and by the way, they should also take a look at what the current situation of Caiqiu is.

The prison in the yamen looks like the house outside is not badly built, but the inside is extremely dirty. The people here were not kept for long, and there was nothing left in each cell except for a cot and a toilet for sleeping.

"Why are all the cells here vacant, didn't there be a matter in the capital before, and a lot of people were imprisoned?" Mo Huaqing said, while his eyes kept looking at the cell inside, as if he was looking for someone.

However, due to Mo Huaqing's careful movements, coupled with the dim light in the prison, no one noticed it.

"Just talk about that matter casually here, don't mention it outside." Zhao Ming scolded in a low voice, "There is more than one building in the capital, but also Lord Shi and the Criminal Department?" ”

"As for the vacancy here, the prisoners will either be transferred to another place to close the gate, or they will be beheaded, so there is still so much need to be asked."

When the words landed, Mo Huaqing's figure actually staggered back, and it happened that Su Jingye was walking behind her, and when he saw this, he hurriedly reached out to help her.

"Why did Miss Mo react so much, could it be that the friends you know were also involved in that incident?"

"No, it's that Ming Nu didn't see it just now, and the ground slipped, thank you for your help." Mo Huaqing was busy changing the topic, but in fact, her eyes lowered and hid behind the fan were gloomy and terrifying.

"Here we are." Zhao Ming reminded everyone, and everyone followed the sound and saw a woman dressed in white but covered with blood lying on the bed in the cell. The woman slept soundly, and even with so many people watching at the same time, she didn't even mean to wake up.

Since Caiqiu's face was facing the door, Mo Huaqing stood outside the fence of the cell and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help frowning.

"How, do you recognize it?" Shi Zhengzhi also looked at it for a long time, the colored ball was lying on the bed board, half of his face was covered, he looked at it for a while, and almost didn't recognize the same person as yesterday, Mo Huaqing was determined.

"I recognize, her name is Yuan Yuan, and her stage name in the troupe is Caiqiu."

"Amazing, your eyes are so good." Zhao Ming couldn't help but admire, his voice echoed in Langfang, almost waking up the girl who was asleep inside.

Su Jingye's heart moved, watching the colored ball writhe a few times unconsciously, but fortunately he didn't wake up, so he hurriedly beckoned, "Okay, let's go, it's not easy to talk when you gather here." ”

"Although the folk girl does not have a very good memory, she still has a must to recognize her face, and the folk girl can be sure that it is her." After coming out, Mo Huaqing held the cup in one hand, as if he was frightened by the dark appearance in the cell, and he was a little distracted.

"It's just that she's a little girl, with such a punishment, will it be a little too severe?"

"There's no way, whoever tells her won't say anything, the people under this official have tried their best to control the degree." Zhao Ming sighed and shook his head.

"What are you going to do next, adults?" Mo Huaqing didn't hold on, and asked casually as if he was polite, but in fact he was inquiring about the movements of the yamen.

"I don't know yet, until I get new clues, I can only spend so much for the time being." Su Jingye didn't know if she heard her intentions, and agreed very casually.

Mo Huaqing asked to no avail, so he had to laugh awkwardly twice.

At this moment, everyone was sitting in the hall of the yamen without saying a word, and a woman carrying a food box came in at the door. The woman jumped up and down all the way, not worrying about the contents of her box being spilled.

"What are you all doing sitting here, is it because the investigation has encountered a bottleneck?" Sure enough, it was Jiang Liuyu who came in. Su Jingye hurriedly helped her take down the things in her hand, while Mo Huaqing looked at Jiang Liuyu's appearance with curiosity.

"It's not uncommon to find out how to investigate a case, but what are you doing here?" Su Jingye put the box on the table, and the wooden box was so heavy that he could barely carry it with one hand. "What's in here?"

"I'm also idle today, so I made some fried rice and brought it over, thinking that I would give you a taste, no matter how hard the work is, I still have to eat." Jiang Liuyu pressed Su Jingye's shoulder, pressed him into his seat and sat down, and when he turned around, he saw Mo Huaqing standing opposite.

"Who is this?"

"This is the steward of the pear orchard, Mo Huaqing Miss Mo, who gave us some clues before, and came to help testify today."

Zhao Ming agreed enthusiastically, and then quietly moved to the side of Su Jingye, very curious about what kind of thing he was carrying in the river.

"I see, that's a good thing. Since they are all here, let's come over and try them together. Jiang Liuyu nodded heavily, looking at Mo Huaqing's rough face, and her heart was hovering between whether she was a man or a woman.

And Zhao Ming clearly explained that it was a girl, and Jiang Liuyu was a high-quality person, fortunately, Fang Cai didn't ask so rudely, and now inviting others to come over for dinner can be regarded as a kind of apology.

With that, Xiaoyun helped take out the dishes and chopsticks from the box. Mo Huaqing was frightened by Jiang Liuyu's smiling face, only to feel that his body was creepy, goosebumps were all over the place, and he hurriedly waved his hand and declined.

"There's really no need, princess, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the pear orchard, it's still early, I'll go back first, let's use it slowly." It's rude. When the words landed, Mo Huaqing ran away as if he were running away.

"How did this go so fast, I'm not a flood beast, why do you feel like she's afraid of me?" Jiang Liuyu looked at his back as he left, and muttered, "I still want to ask her if she wants to drink soup?" ”
