Chapter 17: An Unexpected Harvest
"Third young master, the banquet has been prepared, the eldest young master asked me to come over and inform you, if you are in good health, you will come to the main hall."
Zhuo Ran drank the happy water, and his head turned quickly. It seems that it was a banquet set up by Wang Ran to entertain Zuo Qingfeng's guy.
It's a bit of a hassle, but it's just a good time to sort out the clues I've collected today. However, looking at the empty Coke can, Zhuo Ran was a little worried, if this industrial product appeared in ancient times, it would also be a troublesome matter.
'Ding, in order to protect the current balance of the universe, the system will automatically recycle the discarded items! ’
For the first time at this moment, Zhuo Ran felt that this broken system was a bit useful. The system was recovered so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the Coke can was gone.
After taking a bath, he immediately felt refreshed, and after a few hours of rest, Zhuo Ran was full of energy at the moment. Change into the new clothes that the maidservant had prepared. Not to mention, the costumes of the Tang Dynasty are really good-looking.
The white printed lining inside, a red rope is tied around the waist, and finally a blue embroidered robe is draped, not to mention, it is really a bit of a jade tree in the wind.
However, the hair was difficult to manage, so I had to open the door of the house and let the maid help take care of it. Sure enough, the servant girl is a professional, and the purple braided rope pulls the long hair into a bun, and the excess hair is draped behind the head, and finally a silver hairpin is used to fix it. This hairstyle is done.
But this ancient bronze mirror is blurry, and Zhuo Ran can't see what the effect is. When you are free, go to the system and buy a mercury mirror to take a look, you don't have to think that you must be handsome.
The family outside the house was still waiting, and Zhuo Ran finished smearing the medicine powder left by Dr. Li at this moment, and followed.
In ancient times, there were still many inconvenient places, the most uncomfortable of which was the lighting, and the huge palace could only see the light of a few stone lamps on the side of the road. The rest of the place was pitch black, and the sound of the breeze scraping the leaves was like the cry of wild ghosts. This atmosphere makes people feel quite uncomfortable.
Ding Zhuoran, the family who led the way in front, knew that he was actually a scholar who grew up with Wang Ran since he was a child. was born as an orphan and was taken in by Master Wang, who accompanied Wang Ran of the same age and became a scholar.
The scholar stone walked very slowly in front of him with a lantern, and Zhuo Ran lowered his head to think about something, and inevitably bumped into it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Third Young Master..."
Stone hurriedly turned around and apologized. Looking at his frightened appearance, he was usually bullied by Wang Zhuoran in this world.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can lead the way."
Zhuo Ran was also helpless, but the stone did not move, his eyes were a little fluttering, and he seemed to have something to say.
"If there is something, just say it, my eldest brother is still waiting for me." Zhuo Ran raised his eyebrows, this scholar usually takes a detour when he sees him, but now he actually has something to say to himself?
"Uh..., Third Young Master, I know some things, I don't know whether to nag you or not..."
"It's okay, just say it."
Zhuo Ran signaled ahead, which was the main hall of the palace, and it was brightly lit at the moment.
Hearing that Zhuo Ran intended to listen, the stone only hesitated slightly, and then spoke.
"It's about Miss Su who died in our Wang family."
When Zhuo Ran heard this, he raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of what this stone was going to say, which may not be simple.
"In the past six months, a little maid has been coming to the eldest young master's literary hall to buy the eldest young master's calligraphy and paintings. Because of the calligraphy and painting of the eldest young master, eh, you also understand the third young master, and no one can look at it at all.
So the villain was very curious, so he went to inquire when he had time, but he didn't think that this person was actually the personal maid of Su Qian, the young lady of the Su family.
There was nothing to say about this earlier, but until the third young master was arrested in the official yamen because Su Qian was killed the day before yesterday, I felt that there might be something strange in this.
However, the villain is stupid, and he doesn't know if he should say this, but it is rare to be alone with the third young master today, and the villain still has the courage to say it. ”
After listening to the stone's narration, Wang Zhuoran first had doubts in his heart, and then became excited. One of the doubts in this case is that the Su family and the Wang family do not have any intersection, but the Su family hates him Wang Zhuoran to the core.
And what this stone said may not seem very important, but it is likely to become the key information to reveal the facts of the case.
"Third Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Wang Zhuoran, who was smiling, the stone was a little overwhelmed. The third young master on weekdays doesn't look like this, he should have rolled up his sleeves and scolded him.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, you've done a good job in this matter, and when Young Master Ben comes out, I'll treat you well!"
After listening to Zhuo Ran's words, Shi shrank his neck, the last time the third young master said that he would treat him, he was hung on a tree and whipped. If the eldest young master hadn't come to save him, it is estimated that he would have been crippled a long time ago.
'Ding, the system prompts, the side quest is completed, and the merit points are +60. ’
The prompt sound of the system also confirmed Zhuo Ran's speculation in his heart that this clue is indeed related to this case.
When the door was opened, the crowd was seated. There were four people at the round table, and the drinks and dishes on the table were also sumptuous. After Zhuo Ran came in, he sat next to Wang Ran.
Zuo Qingfeng was a guest of honor, sitting on the upper edge, and sitting with him were Lingxi and Lin Zhao.
"How's your body?" These are the words that Wang Ran cares about.
Zhuo Ran waved his hand, signaling that it was okay. Just asked Zuo Qingfeng.
"Brother Qingfeng, have you found anything behind the courtyard wall?"
At this time, since Zhuo Ran came, it could be regarded as a banquet, Zuo Qingfeng was not a restrained person, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Yes, in addition to the broken grass branches, a mark similar to a ship landing was found on the shore."
When Zhuo Ran heard this, he also took a sip of wine by himself, and now all the clues can be smoothly connected. However, it was also expected that it could progress so quickly, after all, the ancient people did not have any awareness of anti-reconnaissance.
Everyone was drinking wine and greetings, and Wang Zhuoran was writing what happened in his mind at the moment.
The murderer hijacked the unconscious Su Qian, walked the waterway through the boat, and took advantage of the darkness to climb over the wall and pick the door lock, which was to put Su Qian in Wang Zhuoran's house, and soon killed her. Taking advantage of the conflict between Wang Zhuoran and the Su Fu family, he escaped through the window, got on a small boat and left quietly.
"Hey, Lingxi, you can't drink this, you're still so young, if Your Majesty..., the lord knows that I take you to drink, and he will definitely not be able to spare me."
Zhuo Ran raised his eyes and saw that it was the strange spirit of the Lingxi, and he was very curious about the wine that everyone drank. But when he was about to take a sip secretly, he was caught by Zuo Qingfeng.
"Hmph, why can't I drink it?" Lingxi's little mouth was bulging, and she was very angry.
Sure enough, even if the beauty looks angry, it is very cute, Zhuo Ran looked at Lingxi, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. is such a natural beauty, but those bewitching and cheap goods in the world can't be compared.
Lingxi stared at the wine jug, with some envy in his eyes, which made Zhuo Ran feel a little distressed. But then came a flash of inspiration.
'System, get me another bottle of Coke.' ’
'Ding, the payment is successful, and 3 merit points will be deducted. ’
Suddenly, in Zhuo Ran's sleeve, a can of Coke appeared.
"Ahem, Miss Lingxi, this kid's family drinks alcohol, but it's not good for your health."
Listening to Wang Zhuoran's words on the other side of the table, Lingxi became even more angry. This Zuo Qingfeng is enough to make her uncomfortable, and this Wang Zhuoran is an outsider who still cares about her, how can this not make her angry?
"What's the matter with you? Hum! ”
"Hey, don't be angry, girl, I have something better than wine!"
This sentence immediately aroused Lingxi's interest, after all, she is still young and is too easy to be fooled, not to mention the strongest king in the flickering world, Wang Zhuoran?
And at this moment, Zhuo Ran sneered endlessly in his heart, no one can resist the taste of fat house happy water! This strategy sweetheart says to start with the stomach. This Datang is only the happy water of his Wang Zhuoran family, if you can trap this girl, hehe, look where you are still running!
'Phew, filthy. ’
