Bai Haohong took Li Fengling's testimony and painting and looked at it, and said politely: "Miss Li's words are like floating clouds and pretentious; The painting is lifelike and wonderful. Admire, admire. ”

Li Fengling smiled when he heard this, but unexpectedly, Bai Haohong continued: "However, our yamen is talking about efficiency!" Doing something that is not necessary is a waste of time. ”

Hearing this, Li Fengling's smile immediately froze on his face, and he heard Bai Haohong continue: "I'm sorry, Miss Li, I still have something urgent, if Miss Li has no other clues to tell, I will send Wang Xi to send Miss Li home." ”

Li Fengling heard Bai Haohong say this, so he had to get up and say goodbye in disappointment.

After Li Fengling's master and servant left, Bai Haohong returned to his head-catching room, and Zhan Peng asked, "Brother Xian, what did the daughter of the Prime Minister say?" ”

Bai Haohong handed what Li Fengling had written to Zhan Peng, and said, "What can be said in a few words, I have been talking about it for a long time!" Said it was coming tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it. ”

After Zhan Peng saw it, he couldn't help but admire: "She is worthy of being a talented girl!" Her handwriting and painting are so beautiful! Then, Zhan Peng asked again: "By the way, Brother Xian, what are you looking at in your spare time?" Once, I glanced at it, and that word is so ugly, and you can read it. ”

"It's a novel written by Liz, and the content is quite exciting."

"Liz wrote?" Zhan Peng asked with some surprise.

Bai Haohong and Zhanpeng were like brothers and sisters, and felt that there was no need to hide it from Zhanpeng, so he whispered about Lizi's origin.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely."

"It's no wonder that Liz speaks and behaves differently. Brother Xian, don't tell Zhan Xue these things, she didn't keep the door open, in case she leaked her mouth, it would hurt Lizi. ”

Bai Haohong nodded and said, "I know." ”

After Li Fengling returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately sat down in front of the mirror, and sighed in self-pity at the mirror: "I'm so beautiful, why can't I impress the white guards?" ”

Yahuan Cuicui persuaded on the side: "Girl, this shows that the adult is not lustful, which is a good thing." ”

"Do you think the White Guards have a crush on me?"

"There is no one in the world who does not appreciate the talent of a girl."

"However, I feel that the White Guards are cold to me."

Cuicui thought for a while and said, "Maybe Lord Bai loves the girl in his heart, and he is afraid that he will be seen in his mind, so he is embarrassed, so he deliberately snubbed the girl." ”

When Li Fengling heard this, he turned his worries into joy and began to think about tomorrow's plan of action.

The next day, Li Fengling dressed up carefully again, let Cuicui take the piano, and came to Dali Temple to find Bai Haohong. After Li Fengling asked Cuicui to set up the piano, he said to Bai Haohong: "I went back yesterday and remembered some details, that day, Xiang Yamin was playing the piano, and she was playing a new song composed by the musicians of Taishifu, I will play it for you." ”

Bai Haohong said politely: "Playing the piano has nothing to do with this case, can Miss Li directly talk about things related to the case?" ”

Li Fengling expected Bai Haohong to say this, and she replied with a prepared excuse: "You don't know, Bai Guard, when Xiang Yamin played the piano that day, Xiang Gan came to her and whispered something to Xiang Yamin, and I can only remember what they said when I play that tune." Li Fengling added: "I only listened to that song once, and I didn't play it well, so please forgive Bai Guard." ”

Li Fengling said, and without waiting for Bai Haohong to agree, he bounced up. In fact, this piece is often played by Xiang Yamin, and Li Fengling has heard it many times and practiced it many times. After playing the song, Li Fengling looked at Bai Haohong, looking forward to his praise.

Bai Haohong said secretly: "Last time, I politely praised her for her good handwriting and painting, and she was so energetic, and today she actually came to the yamen to play the piano!" It seems that kind words cannot be said casually. So, Bai Haohong immediately asked, "What did Xiang Yamin and Xiang Gan say?" Remembered? ”

Although Li Fengling was a little disappointed, she still said in a very gentle voice: "I can't hear what Xiang Gan said, but Xiang Yamin dropped the tea bowl at that time, and then scolded: 'Just such a poor bastard, and still owe such gambling debts!'" Let him die! ’”

"Miss Li usually pays attention to Xiang Yamin's words and deeds."

"Yes, White Guard, you should also know that her father's reputation is not very good, and he really can't compliment those things he does, how good can she be? Of course I had to keep an eye on her in case she did something bad. ”

"So, did Xiang Yamin do something bad?"

"It has not been discovered yet, but Xiang Yamin has a motive for committing the crime. Xiang Yamin is very domineering in the poetry club, and she is better than others in everything, even choosing a husband. Her father caught a champion for her, and she showed off in the poetry club every day, and later learned that the champion was that kind of virtue, and everyone laughed at her behind her back. I heard that Xiang Yamin was so angry that she quarreled with her father every day to get out of the marriage. Of course, Master Xiang couldn't agree, the champion he snatched was going to withdraw from the marriage, which would make the world laugh. ”

Li Fengling was very happy to see that Bai Haohong was listening carefully, and she continued to analyze: "Master Xiang can't withdraw from the marriage, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry that kind of person, so he sent Xiang Gan to kill the champion." Bai Guard, do you think my analysis is reasonable? Li Fengling looked at Bai Haohong with expectant eyes, hoping to be appreciated.

Bai Haohong replied: "The people in the streets and alleys of the capital think like this. Does Miss Li have any other clues? ”

Li Fengling was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said, "Let me think about it." ”

At this time, Bai Haohong heard the voices of Gao Hong and Ma Sheng from a distance, he hurriedly called Wang Xi over, and said to Li Fengling: "Miss Li, I have something urgent to do, if you think of something, tell Wang Zhukuai quickly, and he will tell me." After speaking, without waiting for Li Fengling to answer, Bai Haohong walked out of the tea room quickly.

Li Fengling looked at Bai Haohong's distant figure with extreme disappointment, and secretly thought sadly: "It seems that Bai Guard and I met by fate and did not stay together. Should I give up? Or do you want to make another effort? ”

Bai Haohong walked out of the tea room, caught up with Gao Hong and Ma Sheng, and said: "The two brothers have worked hard, is this trip to Maru County smooth?" ”

Gao Hong replied: "Xiang Gan was escorted back to the capital and has now been imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, but the witness Zhang Yuanwai's family was brutally killed near Nanjiang Village. ”

Ma Sheng added: "The people from the Dapeng Martial Arts Hall happened to pass by Nanjiang Village and reported the case after finding four bodies, and it was found that the four deceased were Zhang Yuanwai and his wife, as well as his family's concubine and nursing home. ”

After Bai Haohong heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Gao Hong muttered: "I really don't know, what are they doing in Nanjiang Village?" ”

Ma Sheng replied: "I guess they ran away to avoid the old thief, but I didn't expect to be killed on the way to escape. Nanjiang Village is relatively remote and is a good place to start. ”

Bai Haohong asked, "Have you found evidence that Xiang Lao Thief killed his mouth?" ”

Ma Sheng said: "We met Xiang Lao's personal guard in Maru County, and he said: 'Zhang Yuanwai came here to protect the witness, but Zhang Yuanwai was not found. I don't believe his nonsense! It's clearly here to extinguish the mouth! ”
