Chapter 348: Years
Chapter 167: The sneaky Xu Du
The reason why she paused in her voice was because of her weak heart, and secondly, because Xu Du glanced at her with strange eyes.
Xu Du's personality is actually quite good, he is gentle, and he can't speak very loudly.
At the beginning, because of Zheng Mao's experience, she felt that she was confused about everything, and it was not good to be honest, because when she found that Xu Du was not quite the same as everyone else, she went home that night and asked Cui Changling, what kind of background is this Xu Du, and will he be like Zheng Mao, the city government is quite deep.
What I learned from Cui Changling's mouth was that Xu Du was born in the Shu clan, his father and brother were in business, and his family background was very solid, but after all, he was in business, and no matter how much money he had, his status could not be raised.
However, it may also be because such a person is quite embarrassed to be in Beijing, so he raised a gentle Lang Jun like Xu Du.
Wang Xian really likes his character, too many people in this Tingwei Mansion are angry, making her feel uncomfortable, like Xu Du is very good.
But for now......
She smiled awkwardly: "Don't look at me like that, I won't tell you those false things-" Wang Xian changed the tone with a tail note, and his face became sad again, "I am a good gentleman of the Shi clan, but I don't do anything all my life, I eat and drink together, and I am also rich and noble, and now I am told to go to the autopsy...... Xu Du, you always deal with some dead people, don't you feel bad in your heart? β
"Dead people talk." Xu Du came out of the room, took the door with him, and threw out such a sentence coldly, but it was always a faint tone.
Wang Xian was startled, took two steps back, and almost didn't jump up: "What? β
Her voice was strong, but she actually scared Xu Du.
Xu Du patted her: "Look at what scares you." A corpse can tell me a lot of things, and there is nothing wrong with it. β
Wang Xian felt strange, Xu Du's family was rich, and he couldn't live, he had to make a living from this, so there would be no one who was born to deal with corpses, right?
She glanced at Xu Du's hand, when they met for the first time, she felt that Xu Dusheng's white and pure was very delicate, and even his hands were thin and long, even the kind of good-looking that even a girl envied when she saw it.
But now she feels that Xu Du's hands don't know how many dead people she has touched, and she just wants to hide away.
Xu Du looked at her coldly and moved back a few steps: "Didn't you say that once you are born and twice cooked?" What are you hiding? β
Her smile froze on her face.
Once born and twice cooked, it was for Xu Du, if she had a choice, she would not have been half a step close to the morgue at all!
It's strange to say, why is there a morgue in Tingwei's mansion?
She didn't know it before, and Zheng Mao probably felt a little unlucky, so he didn't take her to the morgue, if it wasn't for today's incident, she still wouldn't know.
When she thought about it like this, she called Xu Du in a loud voice: "Why is there a mortuary in the Tingwei Mansion?" β
"This is nothing unusual, like this case, isn't it just used? If it is useful, it should be there. As he spoke, he nudged Wang Xian with his hand, "I have something missing in my hand, I have to go out, you go back to yourself, they invited the body back, and it will be sent to the morgue, I will come back to find you, and then take you over." β
Hengzhu can't escape this catastrophe, Wang Xian doesn't say how frank she is, she can face this matter head-on, but from the day she entered the Tingwei Mansion, she knew that for a long time in the future, she would encounter all kinds of troubles, no matter what happened, she had to grit her teeth and hold on to it, so as not to live up to Cui Changling's recent intentions and care for her.
Xu Du said that she was going out at this time, she remembered Chen Quan's face, frowned, and simply grabbed him: "Where are you going?" For such a big matter, the adults have to go to Zhonglang's house urgently, don't delay it, and I will be scolded with you when I turn around. β
Xu Du shook off her hand and said, "When the adults ask, I'll tell him that I can't even bother you." β
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, and he didn't plan to pay attention to Wang Xian's half a word at all.
Wang Xian's left foot lifted slightly, and he stepped heavily on the floor tiles.
I didn't think it was the first few days ago, how do you think Xu Du is so sneaky today, what the hell is he doing?
β¦β¦
Xu Du came and went, but he didn't delay much, at least when he came back, the few who went to Zhonglang's mansion to invite corpses had just returned to the mansion.
Wang Xian didn't dare to really sit in his small courtyard and wait for Xu Du, the wind in this Tingwei's Mansion was not in the right direction, and he blew to Chen Quan's side, and everyone below was busy, and she, the Tingwei, was like no one else, hiding in her own small courtyard and pretending to be idle, and who was going to call Chen Quan to sue her when she turned around...... She didn't want to cause herself this trouble, she had been standing on the corridor connecting the lobby and the back hall, pacing back and forth, waiting for Xu Du to come back.
Xu Du came in from outside, and sure enough, he was carrying a bag of something.
Wang Xian pouted and greeted him: "What are you taking?" β
He rolled his eyes and rolled her back: "The autopsy is going to be used, and you want to learn this?" β
She shuddered immediately.
Who is going to learn this! Only Xu Du is a freak, he doesn't do it well, he prefers to do this!
She simply retreated, dodged again and again, and said in the southwest direction: "I've asked you to come back, and I'll follow you to the front and back doors." Flash"
Xu Du twitched the corner of his eyes and jumped twice: "You enter the door with him?" β
The dead enter the ghost door, how to enter the door with the front and back feet of the big living.
Wang Xian didn't pay too much attention when she said it, and said it casually, but she estimated that Xu Du often dealt with dead people, and heard Cui Changling say that Xu Du was a person who had a difficult murder case in these counties and towns around Jiankang, and he was very happy to rush over and go to the autopsy for others...... He is often the same, and probably more taboo.
She shook her shoulders, and for Xu Du's words that sounded very unkind, she rarely refute it, but just calmly urged: "You've also bought everything, it's time to get down to business, right?" Otherwise, the adults are back, and I really can't explain it. β
Xu Du pursed the corners of his lips and said nothing, looked down at the small bag in his hand, and pinched his fingers for a while in a place where Wang Xian couldn't see, before he slowly took a step towards the southwest.
Wang Xian followed him, in fact, her official quality was much higher than Xu Du, it made no sense for her to shrink behind, but thinking about the scene she was going to see later, she really didn't want to move forward, but ......
The two of them walked out about a stone's throw away, and she felt that Xu Du was inevitably too slow, but it seemed to be deliberate, otherwise Lang Jun, who was in his early twenties, would not have walked out of such a small distance when he strode away.
Wang Xian coughed: "Xu Du, why are you walking so slowly?" β
Chapter 168: Who is waiting?
Xu Du didn't look back, and asked her angrily: "Are you in a hurry to see Cao Erlangjun's body?" β
Yes, he choked back again.
Co-author Xu Du is not in a hurry at all?
That's right, Xu Du is probably a person with real skills, plus he has a strange background, and he can't delay Chen Quan, Chen Quan will never be embarrassed by him, plus he has a good temperament, and he has a generous shot, so he can eat in the Tingwei Mansion, what is he in a hurry? Anyway, even if he made a mistake, it would not be his turn to be scolded.
Wang Xian gritted his teeth: "This is a homicide." β
Xu Duxin said I know, but he is still walking slowly.
Wang Xian didn't want to do such a thing for the first time, he was too unconfident, and he was a little scared to put it bluntly, he would have run over alone a long time ago, and he would wait for Xu Du to take such a slow walk?
But there is no way, even Chen Quan said that she asked Xu Du to take her and guide her, what kind of majesty can she have?
The two of them walked out about half a distance away, Wang Xian heard a gust of wind behind him, who trotted over, and stepped on it heavily.
She was slightly stunned and looked back, and when she ran closer, she saw clearly that the face was Li Yuan on duty at the gate.
She simply stood on her feet with her hands behind her back, and when she saw him panicked, she asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" β
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ling Jun is here, just enter the lobby when you speak, and go quickly, adults." β
Cui Changling?
Wang Xian's eyes blinked a few times, and his long and curled eyelashes flickered like a small fan.
Why did Cui Changling come to Tingwei's Mansion at this time?
She was a little distracted, but Xu Du still pushed her: "My lord is not here, now you have the highest official rank in the Tingwei Mansion, Ling Jun is here, why don't you hurry up?" β
"But Cao Erlangjun ......" Wang Xian gritted his teeth, a little wavering, "The lord explained before leaving, and he will ask me when he comes back." β
Xu Du couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Ling Jun came over at this time, maybe it was for this case of General Zhonglang's family, even if the adults are here, don't dare to slack off, you go quickly, I'll come to the rest of the matter myself, you come to me again after you see Ling Jun, I'll just tell you carefully?" It can also make you can't talk back in front of adults, and besides, even if you can't go back, it's for a reason, adults come to ......"
He almost blurted out, but he snapped down.
The one in front of her is a little stupid, it is estimated that she has not woken up until this moment, she has Cui Changling, the Shangshu Ling, to mention it, he doesn't want to discuss the court Weiqing behind his back, although it is not a vain discussion......
Wang Xian hesitated again and again, but in the end he still stomped his feet and opened his legs in the direction of the lobby, leaving Xu Du standing there alone, staring at her back and looking at her back several times before he shook his head helplessly and went to the morgue without mentioning it.
When she saw Cui Changling, Cui Changling's face was not very good, and she felt that Xu Du's words might not be wrong, Cui Changling knew about this case and came for this case.
Even if you go to the Tingwei Mansion for official business, it is not as good as getting along privately at home.
Wang Xian met him with the official salute in a dignified manner, straightened up and replied solemnly: "Our lord went out and was not in the palace, Ling Jun came at this hour, is he looking for our lord?" β
"The murder case of the Duzhi Zhonglang General's family, there is nothing in Jiankang City that I don't know." Cui Changling raised his eyebrows to look at her, but his eyes softened, "Chen Quan went to the Zhonglang General's Mansion?" β
She said: "I got the letter earlier, and I was assigned to do an errand, so I went to Cao's mansion immediately, and I guess I should come back in a while......"
Wang Xian paused, lowered his head and counted the hours again, and sighed: "My lord has been gone for almost an hour." β
An hour, not long, not short, but enough for Chen Quan to listen to Cao Wenxiu explain the reason, and even if it is the distance back and forth between Tingwei's Mansion and Cao's Mansion, it should be time to come back.
"Where's Zheng Mao?"
"In the morning, the lord gave him other errands, saying that he had gone out of the city, and he was not there." Wang Xian's face flashed with embarrassment, and he was a little cramped, "It's just me right now...... The next official is here. β
If it is placed on weekdays, Cui Changling must have laughed and joked with her, it is different to be an official now, when I meet in the officialdom, I know that the following officials call themselves, not you and me who are so rude.
It's just todayβ
Cui Changling's eyelids didn't move much: "What errand did Chen Quan assign to you?" β
Wang Xian's words were all choked in his throat, and he didn't say it, and he didn't say it.
When I returned home, I couldn't complain about my grievances and grievances, but it didn't work out in the lobby of the Tingwei Mansion.
Everyone in Tingwei's Mansion knows that Chen Quan doesn't want to see her, and she may not really accept Chen Quan.
Not to mention how many people came to support her on the day she came in, not to mention how many people came to support her and save face, after so many days, Cui Changling, the Shangshu Ling, came to take her home every day, only she and Cui Changling knew that this was originally to prevent Xi Yanzhi, but in the eyes of outsiders, didn't it become an anti-Chen Quan?
They didn't even bother to do the work on the scene, how could Wang Xian be convinced by Chen Quan in his heart.
No matter how she responds to this now, it sounds like she is complaining, relying on her close relationship with Cui Changling, she openly sues her for going to the official, and Chen Quan's assignment is that she can't find anything wrong.
"Huh?" Cui Changling saw that she hadn't said anything, and his voice was deep, "What do you want?" β
"Pour ...... It's nothing, it's just that Cao Erlangjun's body was invited back to the Tingwei Mansion, and our lord ordered it, and asked the lower officials to follow Lord Xu to inspect it, and when he came back, he replied to him carefully, and it also saved him trouble, after all, the case is critical, and time cannot be delayed for a moment. She couldn't be fooled, so she had to say more and more softly, even if outsiders listened to it, they couldn't find much fault.
Sure enough, Cui Changling's face became more and more gloomy: "It's nothing?" β
Wang Xian clearly heard him sneer, but he didn't know who he was aiming for.
Cui Changling shouldn't be angry with her for this, Chen Quan has explained, what can she do, blindly shirk and don't listen? When you are on an errand under other people's hands, you can't help but listen to it.
While the two of them were talking, Chen Quan had already walked into the lobby with one foot.
He already knew that Cui Changling was at the gate of the mansion, so when he entered the door, he didn't see any surprise on his face, but calmly saw the courtesy: "I heard that Ling Jun was here at the door, and the lower officials knew that the case of Zhonglang Jiang's family was opened in the end." β
