Xiao Mingzhu looked at the words on the codex, and at this time, he couldn't be surprised that the handwriting was very similar to his third uncle's, so he just looked through it carefully. After a while, she exclaimed, "The day Old Madam Song was frightened and fell into the water, it happened to be the sixteenth day of the lunar month!" ”

Xu Chu nodded and continued to explain: "Besides, let's not talk about whether Old Madam Song's accident has anything to do with this day. Just said that there was a problem with his birthday, according to the file of Zhang San and Zhang Xiao's family, the two of them got married on April 26, and Zhang Xiao's household post also fell on Zhang's family immediately. However, if you get married in April, even if Zhang Xiao's is pregnant that month, the pregnancy in October should be the arrival of the first month or even the end of February. Compared with normal childbirth, Zhang Qiu was born nearly two or three months earlier. ”

"yes, maybe it's an unmarried pregnancy? Or is it that Zhang Sheng trampled on Zhang Xiao's family, and Zhang Xiao's family had no choice but to marry? Xiao Mingzhu thought of the cases she had heard about in the Three Law Divisions before, and it seemed that there were several households like this.

Xu Chu shook his head, took out Zhang San's file, and showed a few letters recorded by the guards to Xiao Mingzhu for her to read.

Although Zhang San has a reputation for being a thousand, he does not have the reputation of molesting women and women among the neighbors and gamblers. Even, even if he wins, he rarely follows other gamblers to Hualou to have fun. Such a person is either really clean and self-conscious. Either that, I don't like women. Xu Chu took back the letter and file, shook his head and said, "The person sent by Gongzi to check on him replied that his gambling money was rarely taken home, and even if he won nine out of ten bets at the beginning, he never saw him buy a penny and a half of things for his family. On the contrary, he often forced Zhang Xiao's to give him money, and the family of three quarreled not once or twice. ”

"So where did his money go? Even if the casino later found out that he was skillful and rarely let him go, then he should have some money. Since he doesn't spend it for his family, he still needs to ask Zhang Xiao's for his living expenses, and he doesn't have any other expenses, so what about his money? ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was thoughtful, and there were words in her words, so he naturally understood what she meant. He smiled and nodded, took out the last letter sent, hooked his lips and said, "Xiao Chu is really smart, he does have a habit of breaking sleeves." ”

Xu Chu suddenly stretched his brows, so it was right.

So, whose child is Zhang Qiu? Whether it is related to the case of the Song family, although Zhang Xiao's and Xiao Hua have nothing to do with the records in the dossier, they still need to send someone to his mother's house to check on it.

In addition, what does Aunt Yang, who died unexpectedly and knows how to make wine, have to do with Zhang Xiao, who has a lot of insight into wine?

Now, it seems that the clue is gradually revealed, but it still seems to be a fog.

Xiao Qinglang put the baked pebbles back into the stove, and then carefully covered them and handed them to Xu Chu.

It just so happened that Xiao Mingzhu glanced up, suddenly his eyes widened, and then swallowed the snack in his mouth, and said with a slurred speech full of consternation: "Third uncle, you actually gave Sister Chu a warm hand with Zhang Mingqi's engraved sleeve stove?" ”

Xu Chu frowned slightly, looked at the handstove that had been hugged by him all morning, and then looked at Xiao Qinglang, who was calm and calm, and Xiao Mingzhu, who had a strange expression, was a little stunned for a while.

The lid with hollow signs of flowers and birds, and the carved hearth arm pattern case with fine silk paintings, does not look like an ordinary product. However, even if it is made by palace craftsmen, or even carefully created by palace craftsmen, it should not make Mingzhu show such a look.

As for Zhang Mingqi, Xu Chu really didn't know the name and origin of this person.

Xiao Mingzhu saw that Xu Chu seemed to be a little puzzled, so she hurriedly swallowed a sip of tea and swallowed the broken heart in her throat. Then he said: "Sister Chu has ever heard of a sentence, 'Famous in the government and the opposition, there is no doubt after the signal is transmitted'? ”

Xu Chu frowned and said it silently in his heart, although he knew the meaning, he really hadn't heard of it.

Xiao Mingzhu saw that although she guessed the reason, she still looked calm, and hurriedly continued to explain: "The hand stove in the world is the most made by Zhang Mingqi, and the hand stove made by him is uniform in thickness and exquisite. The whole hand stove does not need to be inlaid and welded, and it is all made of hammer beating little by little. Moreover, the carved pattern on the lid of the furnace can't stand the beating, but in fact, you can't step on it with your feet. What is even more surprising is that no matter how hot the charcoal fire and pebbles in the hand stove are, they will not be hot to the touch, but only feel warm. And if the charcoal fire and pebbles are not warm enough, they will not suddenly become cold, but will maintain a warm warmth for a period of time, which is enough for people to keep warm. ”

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but speak, "It's a pity that the masters in the world have a bit of a strange temper, not to mention that he was a person from a hundred years ago, and there are not many hand stoves that have been handed down." Like this one that the third uncle prepared for you, even if it is my father, he is only willing to use it for my mother, and he is not willing to use it for my poor little child at all............"

As she spoke, she began to sell her good again. provoked Xiao Qinglang to snort coldly, squinted at her and said: "How do I remember that the year before last, you and your third cousin were angry, and after breaking the hand stove she used, you compensated her three Zhang Mingqi hand stoves with a wave of your little hand?" Since you are so pitiful, why don't I repair a book and have your uncle order his daughter to return the remaining two to you? ”

When Xiao Mingzhu heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand again and again, "Then she can't squeeze me to death, third uncle, you can't tear down your niece's ............ like this"

Xu was worried that Xiao Qinglang would mention this matter again, so she directly patted the dim sum foam on her hand, and then opened Weishang to let the carriage stop for a while, and then got out of the carriage and asked the guards for horses to ride.

Her temperament is innocent, and such a fuss made Xu Chu swallow the words that he was about to say again.

Xiao Qinglang said indifferently: "It's just a hand stove, and I've already had people polish it, if it weren't for Mingzhu growing up in the palace and getting used to seeing these objects, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to recognize the origin of this hand stove." So you can use it without worrying about what will leak from this hand stove. ”

Xu Chu swallowed a mouthful of spit, took the warm hand stove, and sighed in his heart. I don't know if this is the so-called domineering president fan, or should he be said to be a loser?

After all, the former hand stove worth thousands of gold, he said that he would polish it, and he would give it away............

Even if she doesn't understand the value of antiquities, she knows that the value of destroyed objects must be greatly reduced.

Xiao Qinglang saw that her eyes kept glancing at herself, and with a little guess, he guessed what she was thinking. Immediately, the movement in his hand froze, and he coughed lightly and forcibly changed the topic and said: "I have already asked people to visit Zhang Xiao's hometown, and I will get the news in less than three or two days." ”

When it comes to business, Xu Chu is not entangled in the sweetness in his heart. She nodded yes, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Doctor Zhou is from the capital, even if it takes at least six or seven days to travel day and night." And yesterday I mentioned to you about looking for the famous doctor invited by Song Derong, and today he went to another hospital? ”

Xiao Qinglang lightly put away the scattered files, and said calmly: "When I first went to the Song Mansion to see Song Derong, I once knocked on the side if I wanted to meet Old Lady Song and Old Lady Song. At that time, Song Derong mentioned one or two sentences about the Song family, and of course he also talked about Mr. Zhou, a famous doctor in the capital that he had invited. ”

He paused, raised his eyes slightly, leaned back in his chair with a bit of laziness, and said with a smile: "Maybe I have withdrawn myself from this case from the beginning and only focused on the rebellion, so I can see more details than others." At that time, I just thought that inviting Dr. Zhou to come was to study the medical skills of Aunt Chu, and secondly, I could also get a head start. ”

Now Xu Chu has long lost the sense of loss when she was in Liulin Village, she glanced at him, reached out and poked his fingers covering the file, and said: "Although it is not prescient, I can't match that intuition and insight." ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that her eyes were bright and there was no resentment, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that I've seen too much and I'm used to it." ”

For as long as he can remember, he has been accompanied by various crime files. Even, the princes and the sons of princes and ministers on the side will enter the Lushan Academy to listen to the lectures of Confucianism, but he went to the various departments of the Three Law Divisions and the study rooms of the Dali Temples.

Especially before the first emperor asked him to leave the palace to build a mansion, he also asked people to send 400 files of the three law divisions to his palace, so that he could find out six of the cases with grievances only from the files.

"In the year I tied my hair, I found six wrongful convictions and three cases suspected of slipping through the net from 400 files in three days." He stretched his eyebrows, and said with a bit of nostalgia and emotion, "Maybe I was born with Xiao Chu, if I hadn't endured the boredom at the beginning, I'm afraid it would be difficult to meet you today." ”

Even if she encounters it, she may be prejudiced like others and feel that she is full of bad luck.

Xu Chu's fingers slowly rubbed on the hand stove for a moment, looking at his rare lazy and comfortable expression, he felt a lot of pity in his heart.

When he tied his hair, he was only fifteen years old. If it is put in the previous life, it is only the age of junior high school, don't say that you look for flaws in the dossier, just say that you have to read the hundreds of dossiers, how patient do you have?

Although she had never encountered that scene, she could also understand his predicament at that time. But whenever his heart is shaken slightly, he will become impetuous, and then he will be disgusted with the investigation of the case.

What's more, the only one who can make the prince like this is the first emperor. Although she didn't understand the inside story of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she could also think of how much pressure Xiao Qinglang was under at that time.

The bustling shouting outside the carriage gradually faded, and only the smiling figure in the light and shadow made her moved.

She hesitated, then simply attached her palm to the back of his. A pair of eyes, with love and comfort, indescribably touching.

Xiao Qinglang felt a warmth on the back of his hand, his heart palpitated, and he raised his head and chuckled.
