"Knock knock."

Someone was knocking on the door.

Shen Xiao went to open the door, and bumped into Chang Xi head-on.

"Oh no, miss!"

Before anyone could explain clearly, he saw the blue-clothed catcher with a knife hurry, bypassing Chang Xi and stepping in.

His eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Zhao Qingmiao and Shen Xiao in the room, raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand outward.

"Miss Zhao, please come with us to the yamen, there is a murder case that has something to do with you, and the prefect wants to ask you."

～

When Wang heard that the restaurant's business had improved greatly in the past few days, he wanted to come over and take a look. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of Wang Ji, I saw that the people around me were all coming to see the excitement.

"Look, who's been caught?"

"Isn't the case of Governor Tong's investigation of Jin Chiliang's death all rumored, Jin Chiliang met with Miss Zhao Er before his death......"

Wang's eyebrows were raised, and he secretly said that this matter was broken. She pulled a square handkerchief to cover her mouth, and saw the head catcher come out, followed by Zhao Qingmiao with an indifferent face, and the two servants on the left and right did not take shackles and shackles.

"Bad and slow."

A woman in a golden hairpin skirt appeared in front of her to block it, and the headcatcher had to stop. "Who are you? Obstruction of errands is a crime. ”

Wang felt that since he came, there was no reason not to show his face and show off the prestige of the owner.

She blessed her body, and asked with a light smile: "May I ask the poor master, what happened to my niece?" ”

It turned out that the head of the Wang family came, and the people whispered for a while.

The head catcher pulled the corners of his mouth idly, and lifted the handle of the wide knife at his waist.

"We are acting on orders, if you are interested, you can go to the yamen to inquire."

Wang Shi rolled his eyes, looked at Zhao Qingmiao with some sympathy, and was about to turn sideways to give way.

—But in an instant.

"Ah, who stole my money bag? Isn't it you! "Citizen A grabbed Citizen B's arm.

"Nonsense, he is also standing next to you, why don't you talk about him!" Citizen B began to struggle.

"My purse is gone! Catch the thief! The people in front of him also shouted.

Catch fast and immediately have a big head: Which one who kills a thousand knives and has no brains dares to steal under my nose?!

The crowd was crowded, you grabbed me by the shoulder, I stepped on your heel, coaxed, and all pushed towards the catcher.

Now, it's all messed up.

......

The adults sitting in the hall looked at the bunch of people in the hall with a confused face, men, women and children, pointing at each other and making noise.

He gasped and slapped the wood, and everyone fell silent.

Master Tong moved his eyes and stared at the catcher: What's going on? I asked you to ask Miss Zhao to ask a question, you brought me so many people? You take care of the food!

As soon as he met his gaze, he felt that Master Tong was imposing, so he quickly lowered his head and explained: "My lord, my subordinates originally took Miss Zhao back to the yamen, and suddenly there was a thief among the people, so I ......."

- Okay, should you praise you for not doing your job or being faithful?

Master Tong swallowed speechlessly and nodded towards the master.

The master understood and said to the bottom: "Those who have nothing to do with this case can leave." The thief was taken to prison. ”

The crowd shouted "Lord Qingtian is wise~", and the smoke dispersed.

Under the hall, only Zhao Qingmiao, Chang Xi, Shen Xiao, and the Wang family who planned to leave took the opportunity were left.

Coincidentally, Zhao Qingmiao glanced at the door and saluted the hall: "My lord, I don't know why I want to ask the little girl to come?" ”

Child's gaze returned.

Wang's back stiffened, and it was not going to go, nor was it not if he didn't go.

She turned around, slowly moved behind the three of them, looked at the back of Zhao Qingmiao's head with a complaint in her heart, and said secretly: Little hoof has no conscience, he really hates me, and wants to take revenge on me, hum!

The boy stood up and said with a kind face: "It's not a trial, let's go to the side hall to talk about it." ”

Everyone moved to the side hall.

To say that Master Tong and Zhao Yanjiu, the elder brother of the Zhao family, have known each other for a long time, it is the relationship between having drunk a few glasses of wine in Fengyue Building. But it does not prevent him from investigating the case impartially.

Master Tong thought about it in his heart, carefully picked up Zhao Qingmiao's expression, and said tentatively: "Jin Chiliang died last night, does Miss Zhao know?" ”

It turned out to be doubting himself. Zhao Qingmiao's heart was surging, but the surface was light and light. She made up her mind and responded unhurriedly.

"Yes, I have heard of it. Jin Gongzi had come to Wang Ji Restaurant before, had a meal, and never seen him since. ”

Zhao Qingmiao seemed to suddenly remember, and glanced back at the Wang family, "Isn't it, uncle." ”

Wang didn't want her to wait here, thinking that she really had nothing to do. I had to reply with a smile: "Yes, yes." Jin Gongzi was introduced to Qing'er by me, and it was a pity that he missed a marriage, but today, the two of them are fortunately not successful. ”

"Well, that's right." Tong took a sip of tea. In fact, he just listened to the words of the little guy and called people to ask him as usual. This man is here, and there is nothing suspicious.

With the relationship between the two of them, Zhao Qingmiao will not kill people.

But thinking of the case, there were many doubts, and Master Tong cautiously asked a few more words, and then sent someone to send them away.

Out of the yamen, the Wang family innocently accompanied him, and snorted unhappily: "This matter is not small, Qing'er, your reputation in the future will really be bad." ”

Zhao Qingmiao was silent. She listened to Wang's words, her left ear went in and out of her right ear, and she never took it to heart.

It was Shen Xiao, his thin lips moved, and there was a faint cold color between his eyebrows.

Not far away, a gray sedan chair came in a hurry. The green curtain was opened, and Zhao Yanjiu came down.

"What's going on? I heard that the official sent you away, and I was scared to sweat! ”

The elder brother looked nervous, pulled Zhao Qingmiao to look left and right, and only after confirming that he had not been tortured in the slightest way did he put his mind at ease.

"It's fine, just asked a few words. As soon as this Jin Chiliang died, he implicated the innocent. Zhao Qingmiao's tone was light.

Seeing that their brother and sister were chatting happily, Wang only left him out in the cold, and then coughed and reminded: "Yan Jiu is here." ”

Zhao Yanjiu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see my aunt here, this Tong is really an adult, how did you invite your aunt over." Why don't I tell my uncle to do so? ”

Wang thought to himself, Wang Shouyi knew nothing, but it couldn't reach the ears of the old man. Then he rolled his eyes and said, "No need, just borrow your sedan chair and send me back." ”

Wang was really unkind, and sat directly in the sedan chair after speaking.

Chang Xi was just about to complain for his master, but was interrupted by Zhao Qingmiao.

"Brother, it's been a long time since our brother and sister have walked away together." It was going to walk back.

Zhao Yanjiu smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair dotingly, "Cheng, let's go." ”

On the opposite side, around the corner of the alley where few people paid attention, there was a man who was secretly staring at them, and after a while, he also turned around and left.

When Shen Xiaoruo's perceptive gaze chased over, he could only see a figure that was gradually moving away, and he walked unhappily with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

......

"My lord, the Jin family is up and down, and the household registration lists of distant relatives and neighbors are all here." The master came in with a bunch of brochures and carefully placed them on the warping table.

Tong glanced at the stack of tall booklets and sighed: "It seems that I have to work all night." ”
