"I didn't expect that Mrs. Taishou knows quite a lot." Seeing that they were fighting hotly, King Huai also made up for it, "Even the characteristics and habits of this wild man are known." ”

Chang Le smiled: "I just know a little bit of skin." ”

"It's really a blessing for Zhong Yan to be virtuous and knowledgeable by his wife!" Jiang Congshan did not hesitate to praise him, and glanced at Zhang Changxiu when he came, and secretly blamed him for bullying such a good lady before.

For this, Chang Le just smiled and didn't speak. She didn't want to be Zhang Changxiu's lucky star at all.

Zhang Changxiu was also amazed by Chang Le's words and deeds today, and he was also a little happy to hear her being praised. Although there is a heart close, you can think of Chang Le's alienation, and still stay where you are.

"Liu San, take Mrs. and Pidan'er back to the back office first, and let the doctor check the injury. Now the appearance of the murderer has also been drawn, and the suspicion of the Governor's Mansion has been cleared. Next, I asked the Lieutenant to send someone to catch the murderer together. ”

Jiang Congshan glanced at the public court, King Huai's personal guards were still there, and hurriedly added: "I wonder if King Huai can send his personal guards to participate in this murder incident?" I am afraid that the people still have a grudge against the Governor's Mansion, and it will be troublesome if there is another accident. ”

King Huai smiled indifferently: "Yes." However, this aimless search is probably too much of a waste of time. ”

"What does King Huai mean?" Jiang Congshan asked.

King Huai was silent, looking at Zhang Changxiu with a smile, waiting for his answer.

"Now that it has been determined that the murderer is an ape, we should expand the scope of the search and focus on the mountains and forests outside the city." Zhang Changxiu said.

Jiang Congshan nodded knowingly.

King Huai looked at Chang Le, who had not left yet, and said with peach blossom eyes: "Mrs. Taishou knows a lot, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to talk to Mrs. in the future and increase my knowledge?" ”

Chang Le knew that King Huai was looking for an opportunity for them to meet openly, so he naturally said it to Zhang Changxiu. Immediately turned his head and asked Zhang Changxiu with his eyes.

Zhang Changxiu said expressionlessly: "King Huai raises love, but Neiko has shallow cognition, and it is difficult to be favored by King Huai." ”

was clearly refusing, Chang Le rolled his eyes. Anyway, he just wanted to trap her in the pot yard and couldn't go anywhere. People don't have much ability, and the desire to control is quite strong.

"Too much is too modest." King Huai replied meaninglessly, and said no more, "Since the matter has been resolved, there is still a lot of work, and the murderer will be arrested as soon as possible." The history of Li Jun, the history of Jiang Thorn, do you want to go together? ”

"King Huai goes first, and the lower officials have to stay in the yamen. Mrs. Taishou was injured, and the subordinate had to take care of the beggar child. Li Zhuo said, but he was complaining about Zhang Changxiu.

Because, this was pushed to him by Zhang Changxiu.

King Huai raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "I heard that Li Junshi and Mrs. Taishou set up a school in the yamen to raise beggars. This king has nothing to do, maybe go and see? ”

Chang Le stood quietly, secretly scolding King Huai for being idle all day long, which made people jealous.

"In the place of the Yamen, I have to ask Zhang Taishou." Li Zhuo threw the words to Zhang Changxiu.

This time, King Huai's identity is legitimate, and there is nothing to do, so Zhang Changxiu naturally can't refuse anymore.

"If King Huai wants to see it, he can go there at any time. However, the lower officials are entangled in official business, so they can only ask Li Junshi to accompany him. ”

Hearing that something was thrown over, Li Zhuo threw it out without hesitation: "The lower officials are only disciplining the book, and the responsibility for the entire beggar boy is on Mrs. Taishou." If King Huai wants to know more, he may have to ask Mrs. Taishou. ”

went around in a circle, and then went around to Chang Le. This matter is a business matter, and it should be accompanied by Chang Le. Zhang Changxiu was faintly unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Chang Le looked at King Huai's romantic look that had achieved his wishes, and he was a little tired. She doesn't really want to hang out with people, it's just a waste of time and energy. Of course, if she was given money, it would be different, she could barely take King Huai around.

"Then there's Mrs. Lao Taishou." King Huai didn't wait for Changle to answer, but thanked her first, not giving her the possibility of refusal.

For the sake of being a collaborator, for the sake of long-term interests, Chang Le reluctantly responded. However, they are all her own people, and she doesn't have to be in a hurry to be polite, and decides to focus on herself.

"Wait until I go to change the medicine and then take King Huai to see it."

Huaiwang's peach blossom eyes narrowed a little, still smiling, but with more concern: "Don't worry, Madame's body is important." When Madame's health is better, it's not too late to go. Today, let Li Junshi take the king to take a look at it at will. ”

"Yes." Li Junshi immediately responded.

Changle can't be bored. I promised to say yes, and I wasn't too tired, so I didn't care: "If you don't move your arms, it's not a big deal." ”

"Then it's hard work." Seeing that she insisted, King Huai did not refuse.

Seeing this, Zhang Changxiu said, "Liu San, serve King Huai well and take good care of his wife." ”

"Yes."

Liu San felt that he was really tired, and he wanted to suggest that Taishou send some more yamen in, and don't always use him alone.

……

Chang Le changed the dressing in the inner room of the back house, and King Huai and Li Junshi sat and waited for tea in the outhouse.

Li Junshi originally wanted to take King Huai to the East Courtyard first, but King Huai said that he would wait for Chang Le to go with him, so he could only follow.

"Mrs. Taishou was injured by the captain?" King Huai asked casually.

"Du Wei was angry and beat the preserved eggs, and Mrs. Taishou protected it in time and received a whip instead."

Li Zhuo nodded, thinking of the scene at that time, he felt Changle and brave. secretly sighed that Zhang Changxiu did marry a good wife, but Zhang Changxiu did not know how to cherish it.

He has always been so uncherished, and what others do everything they can not hope for will become worthless in his hands. Whether it was the leader of the year, the current Taishou position, or such a good wife......

Since he Zhang Changxiu doesn't know how to cherish it, how can he deserve it?

"I see." King Huai was clear, but something strange rose in his heart, staring at the thick curtain separating the inner and outer rooms. After a long time, I looked back and took a sip of the teacup.

"It's a strange woman."

Hearing King Huai's admiration, Li Zhuo also said melancholy: "Yes, such a good wife is rare in the world." can be too guarded, but he spoiled a concubine from Hualou. I heard that the little concubine was pregnant recently, and Mrs. Taishou is still holding banquets everywhere. Regardless of previous suspicions, it is really generous. ”

King Huai's eyes sank, put the cup on the table, and smiled back at Li Zhuo: "Li Junshi is also very concerned about Zhang Taishou. ”

Li Zhuo remained silent and smiled slightly: "After all, they are colleagues, and they help each other, so they always need to know more." ”

"Reasonable." King Huai nodded plausibly.

It was only half a cup of tea time, the mother-in-law opened the thick curtain, and Chang Le leaned out and came out of the inner room, his face a degree whiter. The little hawthorn followed, holding a cloak.

Seeing that Chang Le's complexion was not good, King Huai glanced at the sky outside that was getting darker and the temperature had dropped a lot, so he was a little worried about her body.

"This king sees, Mrs. Taishou is still resting today."

Chang Le waved his right hand and smiled nonchalantly: "It's also uncomfortable to lie down, it's good to go around." ”

"Okay, if you feel unwell, come back." King Huai reminded her to be in moderation.

Chang Le nodded in response.

The mother-in-law tied the cloak to Chang Le, sent them out and went back to the kitchen to do things.

King Huai walked in the middle, Chang Le and Li Junshi accompanied him in the back half of the step, and Liu San and Xiao Hawthorn followed behind.

Not long after leaving, King Huai had already left side by side with Chang Le.

"It seems that Mrs. Taishou has committed a crime this year, and she should go to the temple to pray for blessings and burn incense, and pray for illness and disaster." King Huai teased.

Not to mention the rumors I heard before, when I first saw her, the scar on her head was clearly visible; Later, it was a cold wind, a high fever, and now a whip. The piles add up, and the number of injuries is too much, which is distressing.

Chang Le reviewed his medical history, and also felt that he was too pitiful, sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "Maybe the feng shui at home is not good, maybe it would be good to change places." ”

King Huai said: "What, let Taishou move to a house?" ”

Seeing that he asked knowingly, Chang Le didn't bother to pay attention to it, and said casually: "It's good to live in the yamen." ”

"Although the yamen is a place of innocence, it is too solemn, it will inevitably make people feel that there are deep grievances here, are you not afraid?" King Huai meant something. refers to the fact that she was so frightened that she didn't dare to walk at night because of the castle tower.

Chang Le was reminded of his bad memories. blinked his eyes, and finally couldn't help but scold: "King Huai really can't open any pot." ”

"It's natural, and you have to get to the point." King Huai didn't take her bad attitude to heart, and then said curiously, "Today, what does Mrs. Taishou mean by high and low? The murderer is more like an ape, that is, low-level, and the savage is more like a human, that is, high-level, is there any necessary connection between ape, savage and human? ”

Chang Le frowned and looked at him like a fool: "People are high-level animals!" ”

King Huai was even more puzzled, and even Li Junshi looked at him suspiciously.

Chang Le suddenly understood that what she said was not common sense that everyone knew to people in this era, but a deviant remark.

Thinking that interpreting it according to Darwin's theory of evolution would be a challenge to religious theological consciousness, Chang Le hesitated.

She was afraid that she would be burned by religious people.

Although, the religious consciousness of the ancients was not very widespread, the belief in gods and spirits was deep-rooted. Suddenly, she said that there was no God, emphasizing man himself, not to mention whether the people could accept it or not, and the king who ruled the world by "obeying the mandate of heaven" could not spare her.

"What does Mrs. Taishou mean that humans are also animals? How can man be grouped with inferior animals? Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Li Zhuo couldn't help but raise his objection first.

King Huai agreed.

Chang Le scratched his head and argued forcefully: "So, savages are smarter like people, and murderers like animals are different from us people, and they are lower." ”

Although this is very unconvincing, it is also a reason, and King Huai and Li Zhuo also believe it. King Huai thought that Chang Le had other ideas, but he couldn't say it for some reason.

"Where did Mrs. Taishou learn about the characteristics and habits of savages and apes?"

King Huai was still persistently asking, and Chang Le wanted to blurt out an excuse.

They were just images of the two stages of the evolution of ape-man into man, and she had roughly learned about it from sixteen years of education.

However, there are more problems with this explanation.

"The gods are telling me about their dreams."

When King Huai heard this, he felt even more absurd, and it was not as reliable as what she said before.
