Chapter 206: Rendezvous
Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, his face was happy, could it be that the prince of An Yihou had news, he immediately put down the book in his hand and instructed the little servant: "Let people prepare horses, I want to go out." ”
Xie Yuan didn't delay for a moment, and soon walked out of the door of King Jian's mansion, all the way to the restaurant that Xu Qing'an said, and finally found the Tianxiang Building in the downtown area, and found a small servant standing at the door waiting for him.
"Second Master Xie," Meng Lingyun saluted forward, "The prince asked the little one to wait for you here." ”
Xie Yuan nodded and bent down to dismount: "Where is the prince." With that, he walked towards the restaurant.
Meng Lingyun stepped forward and said, "The prince is not in the restaurant. ”
Xie Yuan was stunned, and the prince of An Yihou asked him to come, but he was not here: "Is there something delayed?" It's all because I'm in a hurry. ”
"No," Meng Lingyun said in a proper manner, "My family didn't want to come over, the prince felt that it was too noisy here, so please move to the side." ”
Xie Yuan didn't expect things to change again, what was the prince of Anyi Hou doing.
"Where are you going?" Xie Yuan asked.
Meng Lingyun said: "Second Master Xie, please come with the little one." ”
Xie Yuan hesitated slightly, but immediately followed Meng Lingyun's footsteps, as long as he could find the clues now, the rest was not important, and besides, the prince of An Yihou didn't look like a cunning person.
But soon Xie Yuan regretted it a little.
Meng Lingyun took him to the Bishui River, where a flower boat slowly approached him, and then someone beckoned him to get on the boat.
The breeze on the river stirred the curtain hanging outside the cabin, and a sweet aroma wafted faintly.
Xie Yuan frowned, and was about to turn his head to leave subconsciously, but a woman in a pink dress stopped him: "Look at Gongzi like this, as if we are going to eat people." ”
Xie Yuan's ears immediately turned red.
Meng Lingyun stepped forward to stop Xie Yuan: "Second Master Xie, my family is waiting for you in a boat in the river, aren't you going?" ”
To say that Xie Yuan didn't have doubts before, but now he is vigilant, why did the prince of An Yihou arrange it like this? Again and again, the problem seems to be tormenting him.
Xie Yuan looked at Meng Lingyun: "Where is the prince?" ”
Meng Lingyun said: "You will know when you get on the boat." With that, he looked around.
Xie Yuan's heart lit up, and he suddenly understood that An Yihou Shizi was afraid that there would be eyes and ears around him because he didn't believe that he was still guarding against others.
Thinking about this, he had to go no matter what, and listen to what the prince of An Yihou had to say.
Xie Yuan made up his mind and clasped his hands slightly, turned around and walked towards the flower boat, this was the first time he had come to this kind of place, and the smell of fat powder and the laughter of women made him unspeakably tormented.
"Childe, go sit in the cabin!"
Someone came to invite him, but Xie Yuan stubbornly stood at the bow of the boat.
"Childe, this is the first time you've been here, right? It's inevitable to be seen by outsiders here. Hua Niang seemed to be very considerate, smiling and teasing Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan didn't look over: "You go and entertain the others." "He's not afraid of being seen, and as long as he's done nothing, he doesn't care what others think of him.
"You're the only guest on this ship!" The flower girl laughed again.
Xie Yuan didn't move with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't hear it at all, the cyan robe fluttered gently in the wind, he just held his breath and concentrated, and didn't notice that not far from the flower boat, there was a small boat parked there, and the girl in the boat opened the curtain and looked at him.
Xu Qinghuan asked Uncle Lei: "Didn't Second Master Xie bring anyone else?" ”
Uncle Lei said: "No, but there are a pair of eyes staring at him, seeing that he came here, those eyes are hiding in the dark, just when Second Master Xie looked around, those eyes were probably discovered by Second Master Xie and hidden more hidden." ”
From this point of view, Xie Yuan didn't have too much suspicion, Xu Qinghuan said: "Xie Yuan has already found out that his brother has doubts about him, and they should be able to explain it when they meet in a while." ”
Uncle Lei nodded: "The eldest lady has arranged everything, presumably there will be no mistakes on the side of the prince." ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at the cabin: "Those eyes outside are going to make you hard." ”
Uncle Lei's expression was calm: "Don't worry, eldest lady, as long as I see it, he won't be able to escape." ”
Xie Yuan's flower boat is getting farther and farther away, Xu Qinghuan calculates the current hour, Song Chengxuan should have left, generally some friends want to travel far away, relatives and friends should go to see each other.
Zhang Zhenren's stay in Beijing is very helpful for her to investigate the case, even if she sees this, she should go and thank her.
It's just that their relationship with Song Chengxuan is a little delicate, and Song Chengxuan's temper is very cold, and he probably doesn't want them to appear in front of him when he leaves.
Xu Qinghuan thought about it again and again: "Find a place for the boat to dock!" "It makes sense that she still wants to go.
……
When the boat reached the middle of the river, a small boat approached.
The boatman set up the plank, and Meng Lingyun came to invite Xie Yuan: "Second Master Xie, please, our prince is waiting for you on the boat." ”
This time Xie Yuan saw Xu Qingan's figure, and without hesitation, Xie Yuan strode over.
"Brother Xie," Xu Qingan poured tea and placed it in front of Xie Yuan, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Xie Yuan looked at Xu Qing'an: "What is the purpose of the prince's move, don't you believe me in such a toss?" In that case, why did you bring me here? ”
Xu Qingan couldn't help but smile: "What Second Master Xie said is right, now I can't tell whether what Second Master Xie said to me before is true or false." ”
Xie Yuan frowned: "Why does the prince have such doubts? ”
"It's very simple," Xu Qing'an said, "Mrs. Xie suddenly died of illness in the Xie family, it stands to reason that the Xie family should invite the second master to come and check, according to what the second master said, the yamen didn't see anything strange, but was noticed by the second master, which is too strange." ”
Xie Yuan recalled the situation at the time: "That's because my sister-in-law has been ill for a long time before, and the pill is not a strong poison, so the family didn't think much about it." ”
Xu Qingan nodded: "Zhang Zhenren knows that he used this poison to kill Mrs. Xie, it can be seen that he is scheming, he should have a grudge against Mrs. Xie, otherwise it will not be like this, Zhang Zhenren is also powerful, not only confusing Mrs. Xie, but also making the Xie family believe in it, so that Mrs. Xie can take the pills given by Zhang Zhenren on time every day."
Mrs. Xie's condition not only did not improve, but she eventually died, and the Xie family did not suspect Zhang Zhenren, but devoted themselves to organizing the funeral for Mrs. Xie.
Second Master Xie, do you say that Zhang Zhenren is too powerful, or the Xie family is too careless. ”
Xie Yuan never thought about these problems, because in his heart, the sister-in-law and the eldest brother had a very strong relationship, and the Xie family members were also full of praise for the sister-in-law.
Even if the sister-in-law was killed, it should be an outsider who harmed her, how could there be a problem in this family.
But now that Xu Qing'an asked these words, Xie Yuan couldn't refute: "How is it possible." According to Xu Qing'an, the Xie family, who organized the funeral for his sister-in-law, was more suspicious than Zhang Zhenren.
Xie Yuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he clenched his hands tightly, and his palms couldn't help but start to tremble.
"Second Master Xie, do you know where this is?" Xu Qing'an said, "Second Master Sun entered Beijing and wanted to secretly transport to the imperial court, but finally died here, and the case took several twists and turns to find out the real culprit, and many times the truth is so unexpected. ”
Xie Yuan was silent, and his face became more and more dark.
Xu Qing'an said: "Did Mrs. Xie say anything to Second Master Xie?" Did Second Master Xie's sudden trip to Changzhou have anything to do with that incident? If you are concerned about ...... Then Second Master Xie should also be careful. ”
Xie Yuan's eyes widened, Xu Qingan meant that the person who killed his sister-in-law would also attack him.
……
Xu Qinghuan's carriage arrived outside the city, and there was no shadow of Song Chengxuan on the official road.
It's not too late now, so it can be seen that Song Chengxuan didn't give people a chance to send him off.
The little guy outside said, "Miss, are we still going forward?" ”
Xu Qinghuan thought about it, the pavilion not far in front of her was a place for everyone to send off, and if she didn't see anyone there, she could go back.
