The fire was burning very strongly, and Liluo felt a little warmer on her body, and she continued: "Well, although I can't deny the first possibility, it is difficult to convince the public to sentence people based on alibi evidence, speculation or human nature, so I want to find evidence for the second possibility." ”

"I re-examined the confessions of all the people involved in the case, and found that the owner of the store said that he had asked the guy to go out to buy alcohol because he had run out of alcohol that day. But the strange thing is that as early as two months ago, the guy who bought the wine was not him. Although this fellow is diligent and likable, he is usually very greedy and cheap, and likes to ask for kickbacks, and if I were the owner of this shop, I would definitely not give him such an important task as buying wine. Seeing that Ning Yi listened carefully, Liluo said.

"So, you shift your suspicion to the shopkeeper." Ning Yi cooled the kettle for boiling water for a while and gave it to Jiang Liluo.

"Yes." Riro knew his kindness, and did not refuse, and continued, "Later, I went to investigate the owner's money savings, and found that although this person has been running a restaurant for many years, he does not have much savings. Although this person has married, but his wife takes care of his mother in his hometown Tongzhou, the two have no children and no daughters, and they have made a fortune by relying on the help of relatives. ”

Ning Yi nodded in agreement.

"Later, the results of the investigation turned out to be true, the guy's wife and the owner of the store are also concubines, not only do they usually like to spend the boss's money, but also use it to help another concubine, after being discovered by the boss, he designed to kill people in anger." Liluo turned the fire with a stick and said calmly.

"So I guess that guy was deliberately sent out to buy alcohol by the store, and he was alone, so no one can prove his whereabouts." Ning Yi watched Liluo finish drinking the water, and felt a little happy in his heart.

"Well," Jiang Liluo replied, "the shopkeeper knows that the guy likes to take a little bribe, and he is afraid of being discovered, so when he goes out, he often doesn't bring anyone with him." Riloku said as she continued to stir the fire with her stick.

"You really have a sharp mind, will the jade rat take you as an apprentice?" Ning Yi took the kettle and suddenly boasted.

"In terms of wit and intelligence, I can't compare to you Ning Gongzi, the first time we met, you knew my identity, and you called me a little fox." Jiang Liluo remembered the first time she saw Ning Yi, in the garden of the Shen Mansion, he looked like an unserious and noble son.

"You like to wear white, like?" In the firelight, the two chatted like friends.

Ning Yi smiled: "Don't you think I look like a beautiful boy in white?" ”

"This sentence can't be what Ouyang Gongzi told you, right?"

"How do you know?"

"The tone is very similar to him!" After Liluo finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I've always had a question for you?" The atmosphere of speaking is getting better and better, and Riroku's heart seems to be opened.

"You say, I must know everything." Ning Yi glanced at Liluo and replied.

"You opened the Liuxian Building?" There was a hint of anticipation in Liluo's expression, "When I went for the first time, did you entertain you?" ”

Ning Yi smiled: "Did you guess it?" ”

Riroku's expression showed surprise, and she continued to ask, "The ranking is also what you came up with?" ”

Ning Yi nodded meaningfully and said, "Actually, I am in charge of food, and most of the people who open and manage stores are Changfeng. ”

Riluo nodded, and then asked, "Is that shopkeeper Duan Er?" ”

"You guessed it?"

"Really?"

"You big liar."

·······

The night wind gusted, as if at this moment, these two young people really opened their hearts.

Jingshi Chaotang, morning

Today, there is a special guest in the court, he is the prince of Khitan, named Yeluqu.

Above the court, obviously, the emperor and Yeluqu chatted very happily.

Although Yeluqu is said to be the prince of Liao, he has learned the etiquette and poetry of the Great Song Dynasty since he was a child, and he is not only good at writing, but also not inferior to the people of the Great Song Dynasty when he writes poetry.

In terms of appearance, he not only has the elegant air of a scholar, but also the heroism of a grassland man, and he is not very old, about twenty-five years old.

At this time, in addition to Jinglan, there were also the second prince Jingyuan and the third prince Jingyu.

This kind of opportunity, the emperor was deliberately observing Jing Lan's life, so he took the opportunity to let Jing Lan talk more about this prince. Jing Lan talked to the Yelu prince about the similarities and differences between the Han people and the steppe tribes, and the two talked very deeply, from food, clothing, housing and transportation on both sides to the comparison of totem worship and poetry culture, while the rest listened attentively.

Yeluqu had a novel point of view and was very good at talking, Jinglan asked curiously: "I wonder why Prince Yelu loves my Han culture so much?" ”

"Actually, this is related to my uncle, he once fell in love with a Song woman, but the two always had disagreements due to some differences in culture and lifestyle, and they didn't end up together." Yeluqu replied.

"Oh?" Jinglan seemed to be interested.

Yeluqu continued: "Later, he made up his mind to study the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and after this research, he found that the Han culture was profound and profound, and all I learned and made friends was given by my uncle because of me. ”

"I see." Jing Lan nodded and said, "If you have the chance, you want to have a discussion with Lord Yelu." ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to learn now, how about it?" Yeluqu put down his wine glass and looked at Jinglan with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to test him.

After hearing this, King Jingyu of Jin put down the wine glass in his hand and looked thoughtfully at the prince of the Liao Kingdom. Yeluqu took the initiative so much that Jing Yu was interested in the bottom of his heart, and he took a sip of wine alone, he really wanted to know if this Yeluqu was as friendly as he seemed to be.

Jinglan didn't expect that Yeluqu would actually agree to his invitation in person, and at this moment, as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he was not cowardly, so he asked unhurriedly: "I don't know what Yelu Gongzi wants to talk to?" ”

"Coming here today, Xiao Wang didn't make much preparations, how about poetry?" Yeluqu said confidently.

"Oh? I wonder what the two of you want to use as the theme of the poem? The emperor asked, he was obviously very interested in the exchange between the two.

Yeluqu replied respectfully: "Why don't we take this autumn wind as the theme, compose a poem, and discuss the current scene?" ”

Jing Lan looked up at the autumn wind outside the door, and the world was getting depressed, so he replied: "Okay, let's take the autumn wind as the theme!" ”

At this time, Jing Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Yeluqu: "Jing Yu dares to ask, the poetic battle has its own merits, how to decide whether to win or lose?" ”

"Xiao Wang came to learn today, not to win or lose, but to indulge in poetry and literature, just to have a fun life." Yeluqu looked at Jing Yu and replied.

"So, who will come first?" Jing Yu continued to ask.

"Since Xiao Wang is a guest, it is better to go first." With that, he got up from his seat, looked at the sky outside, and paced down the hall.

Looking at Yeluqu's thoughtful appearance, Jing Yu thoughtfully, a person who knows too much about the culture of the Great Song Dynasty is not necessarily a friend, and it is very likely to be a poisonous snake, he has always been wary of this person, Yeluqu has been to the Great Song Dynasty several times, and every time he comes, he has something to ask, and this person has a lot of requests for "people", which is enough to see that this person is thoughtful.

What he asks for should not be as simple as he seems to be.

After listening to the poems made by this person, Jing Yu became more and more convinced of his own judgment, this person has a big picture in the center of his heart, and he wrote in the poem: "Autumn seedlings are Su, happy and have works." The scorching sun turned into rain overnight, and the dream returned to the cool and cold clothes. Don't worry about the leaky bed in the house, the bed is wet, and the bank of the stream is deep. Thousands of miles of rice flowers should be beautiful, and the best sound of five more paulownia leaves. There is no field like I am still dancing, not to mention the heart of the field looking at the year. ”

The poem is very exquisite, and it describes the long drought and rain in autumn, and the harvest is happy, is there any hint of anything? I heard that the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom has been seriously ill recently, and I don't know if this Yelu prince has other plans when he comes to the Great Song Dynasty frequently. Jing Yu was already speculating in his heart.

After listening to the words made by Yeluqu, Jing Lan also made a song in the court, he was already full of nobility, and he read it out at the moment, which made people feel even more catchy, he read: "Xiao Xiao Wuye sends the cold sound, the autumn wind on the river moves the guests, and I know that there are children who provoke and promote weaving, and a light falls on the fence in the middle of the night." ”

When the ministers of the imperial court heard this, they said one after another: "Extreme seconds! Extreme seconds! In just a few sentences, he not only wrote the feeling of summer going to autumn, but also pointed out the great love in his chest.

After the chanting of the poems, the two wrote down the poems with a brush and presented them to each other.

After the banquet, Jing Yu accompanied Jing Lan to see Ye Luqu away, and whispered to him, "Prince, can you go and sit in your courtyard." ”

Jing Lan has always been very protective of Jing Yu, and he replied: "Only you don't think I'm cold there, you can come at any time." After speaking, he took Jing Yu's shoulders and walked towards the East Palace.

Jing Yuan, who was standing behind them, had a strange luster in his eyes, like jealousy and sneering.

Jing Lan personally made tea, and he said, "How is it, I'm cold here, right?" In the eyes of outsiders, the owner of the East Palace means endless power and infinite treasures, but Jing Yu knows in his heart that this is not what he yearns for, he likes the rivers and lakes, likes the government and the opposition, and likes freedom.

"Congratulations to the prince for finding the love of his heart, I haven't had a drink with you to celebrate when I returned to Beijing this time." It can be seen that Jing Yu's expression is happy at this moment, and he sincerely blesses Jing Lan in his heart.

The corners of Jing Lan's mouth unconsciously curved into a smile, during this time, he and Ning Yu came into contact, and the two had formed a lot of tacit understanding. Before identifying Ning Yu as the crown princess, he had always thought that this was a political game, but now it seems that what Taifu said is right, Ning Yu is indeed a more suitable candidate for the crown princess of the East Palace.

"Being able to marry Ning Yu in this life can be regarded as God's favor for me Jinglan." Jing Lan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jing Yu nodded.

"My marriage is decided, what about you? Could it be that you really want to marry someone from the Pei family? Jing Lan mentioned Jing Yu, he actually knew in his heart that Jing Yu didn't like Pei Jia, and Pei Guifei forcibly tied the two together, so he rarely saw Jing Yu have a heartfelt smile on his face.

Jing Yu smiled helplessly, he picked up the tea and said: "I have done a lot of things, and I have always wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Pei family, including my indulgence in the rivers and lakes, but now it seems that the results are quite small. Jing Yu continued: "I don't want to marry someone from the Pei family, I want to draw a line with them, but my mother is immersed in it, and it is difficult for her mind to be changed." ”

"You're worried that the people of the Pei family will play with fire and set themselves on fire." Jing Lan asked, between their brothers, they have always known everything.

Jing Yu nodded, he analyzed: "Pei Yi thinks very highly of himself, he originally wanted Pei Qixuan to report the Suzhou Salt Affairs case, but he didn't expect Jiang Chunhe to take the lead. This not only did not bring down the Shen Mansion, but it made Pei Qixuan feel more disgusted, and made the Shen family more vigilant against the Pei family. ”

"Although you are not in the court, you can see the affairs of the court very clearly." Jing Lan couldn't help but admire, "You didn't join forces with the Pei family to deal with me, this is the biggest help for my brother." ”

Jing Yu said: "I have always known that you are the best candidate for the emperor, so you must ascend to the throne of God and lead us to create a peaceful and prosperous world." As your brother, I will always support you. ”

These resounding words not only made Jing Lan's heart surge, but also extremely warm. Jinglan knew that his younger brother seemed to be indifferent, detached, and incomprehensible, but in fact, he had a pure heart in his chest. He nodded and said, "With your words, I will do my best!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Jing Lan remembered the matter of marriage, so he asked, "Then do you have a woman you like?" Do you need your brother's help? ”

Jing Yu shook his head when he heard it and said, "As a prince, how can emotional matters be so simple, and you know my temperament." For some reason, when Jing Yu talked about this topic, all he thought of was Jiang Liluo.

"Then don't talk about the identity of the prince, which girl do you have a heart for?" Jinglan filled Jingyu with tea.

"I've been thinking of a girl a lot lately, and I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about." Jing Yu's expression showed a rare shyness.

Seeing Jing Lan looking at him with great interest, Jing Yu replied: "She is very beautiful, very special, and she also likes rivers and lakes, likes to solve cases, she looks gentle to people, speaks softly, in fact, she has her own opinions, and she choked me in person, and I am also." Jing Yu was a little speechless and stopped.

"What else?" Jinglan asked.

"I also made her angry and cried, I never made a girl laugh, and I rarely saw a girl cry, but when she cried that time, my heart would really melt, and I was distressed and regretful." Jing Yu stammered a little, and didn't know how to sort out the wording for a while.

"You can't be talking about the Jiang girl, right?" Jing Lan asked with a smile.

Jing Yu looked up and said, "How do you know?" ”

"Our brothers are connected, I guessed it!" Jing Lan spoke to Jing Yu, using the tone and words of speech outside the palace, it sounded like they were not princes, but like brothers in folk life.

Jing Yu had no choice but to nod.

Jinglan comforted: "Although we are children of the royal family, we can't make our own decisions about marriage, but if you really meet the girl who makes your heart move, you should also be brave to pursue it, even if you marry someone else in the future, but at least you let that girl know your heart." ”
