My lord, quickly let people prepare licorice and brown sugar, ......" Xu Chu quickly walked to Xiao Qinglang's side, wanting to see Liu Jiaxing. However, Liu Jiaxing was bent on dying at this time, how could he do what she wanted? He coughed dryly, shook his head and said, "When I lived, I suffered a lot, and I suffered an injustice but refused to harm Qiu Niang for myself." Who knew that in the end, it still hurt her...... I thought that we could return to our hometown by selling ourselves into slavery, and after going through so much, my mother's heart knot should be untied, who knows...... Ahem......"

"If there is an afterlife, I would rather go up the mountain and down to the ground than ...... again"

Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned red, and his whole person was also gasping for breath as if he was being restrained. But after a while, people will no longer have life.

And his last sentence of no will never be said again.

Xu Chu watched all this silently, thinking about Liu Jiaxing's kindness and Zhang's mother's paranoia, but he didn't know who she punished for taking revenge.

After taking the Zobulu, if he would wake up so easily like Zhang's, I am afraid that he would not be called a ghost ginseng. Presumably, Zhang's had a premonition, and he had no desire to survive......

After a burst of screaming and scolding, the yamen calmed down again. Xiao Qinglang hesitated for a moment, quietly shook Xu Chu's slightly trembling fingertips, and looked at Huang Xianling calmly and said, "This case is over." However, Yu Fugui insulted Zhang's corpse and faked the wound, and it was difficult to escape responsibility. ”

He did not reveal his identity quietly, but Haoran's righteousness and noble and cold temperament also shocked a group of people. made Huang County Ling nod again and again, and then fell into the case according to his words.

Because the fire in Jinyinfang was started because of Zhang's mother, in the end, Huang County ordered the detainees to be released. However, Zhang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, attempted to kill and should be sentenced according to the law. During the trial this time, Zhang Xiucai did not come to the front, but I don't know if it was because of shame or other reasons.

I heard that in the end, after Zhang Xiucai learned the truth, he quit his job as a private school teacher, and only rarely showed up in the house. Probably, he really began to repent.

Afterwards, he took the initiative to come to see Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, the once respected private school gentleman, at this time his back was a little thin and weak, and his eyes were gray, like a walking corpse.

"Childe, girl, although I don't know the identities of the two, I also understand that the two are not very human." His face was haggard, and he was weak to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't allow Chu to interject, so he just said to himself, "Back then, I not only found out that Yu Fugui snake and scorpion had a vicious face, but I also met him secretly meeting a well-dressed man, and he called that man an adult. Then, within two months, he suddenly began to get lucky as a small craftsman. I think you're probably interested in that......"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of drawing paper from his sleeve, "This is what I have drawn from memory in the past few days, but it has been too long and some details are really hard to remember." ”

The facial features of the man in the painting are blurred, but the general body shape and clothing are relatively clear.

After sending Zhang Xiucai away, Xiao Qinglang re-unfolded the drawing paper, pursed his lips and said: "It is a style that flourished in Beijing seven or eight years ago, because this style is mostly worn by powerful people, so it has not been circulated." After a pause, he wondered again, "This figure...... Somewhat familiar......"

There are not many people who can wear such a style of brocade clothes in the court, and who can leave the capital at will without being noticed. What's more, the powerful are easy to check, but the people in the meritorious family are difficult to check, especially the descendants of the descendants are easy to touch.

"Let's rest for two days, and hurry early the day after tomorrow." In the end, Xiao Qinglang put away the drawing paper, and at the same time restrained the doubts in his heart. "It's the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month today, and I hope I can rush to Jinzhou City before the New Year."

In the next few days, in addition to sorting out the cases along the way, the two spent most of the rest of their time looking for snacks in the streets and alleys of the market.

Originally, Xiao Qinglang was not very interested, but as Xu Chu's mood became more and more cheerful, he had a little more expectation and joy when he went out. The dignified prince, from roasted chestnuts to cooking cakes, simply ate it all over with Xu Chu.

Now, even if Xu Chu doesn't open his mouth, he can naturally tell Wei Guang to go to East Street to buy frozen pears and West Street to buy fried pancakes...... Even on the third day, he prepared a lot of melon seeds and sugar melons in the carriage that he had never deigned to touch.

got into the carriage, Xiao Qinglang pushed the food box to Xu Chu, and saw that she showed a little surprise and comfort, her thin lips couldn't help but hook slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes looked more and more handsome with a smile.

Avoiding the bustling street market all the way, several people left in a carriage, and did not give Huang Xian Ling any opportunity to invite them out to eat and drink.

Halfway through, Wei Guang whispered, "Childe, news has just come that the Criminal Department has sent someone to Jinyinfang. ”

Xiao Qinglang nodded, looked at Xu Chu and explained: "I have already sent someone to investigate Jinyinfang and combine it with the copper mine case. As for the medicine involved in this case, news came from the capital that the Imperial Household Hospital was well preserved and not exposed. ”

"Then only the merchants from the Western Regions are left, and the officials of Honglu Temple who have received envoys from the Western Regions?"

"Contacting the crane top red that appeared before, I guess that it is more likely that the officials in the capital who received visitors from the Western Regions are more likely." Xiao Qinglang said, seeing Xu Chu's frowning and couldn't help but smile, "This can be regarded as an eyebrow, that person's handwriting has been buried for so many years, and now it has been broken by us one by one, it is he who should be anxious." ”

In addition to these harvests, traces of his father were also found, although his whereabouts are still unknown, but at least he is still alive. Compared with the panic when he was at the Furong Inn, Xu Chu's heart at this time was much more steady.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the rest of the depression that was lingering in their hearts dissipated. As he said, there are others who should be in a hurry.

The faint warm sun leaked down, the tea fragrance was light and the charm was long, and the warmth in the carriage made Xu Chu sigh.

"Is it Songyang Silver Monkey Tea?" Xu Chu raised his eyebrows.

"Well, after Zhang's case, I asked people to buy some with a lot of money." Xiao Qinglang added tea for Xu Chu, and then squinted and leaned on the back of the chair, letting the faintly leaking sunlight hit him.

The black dark pattern brocade robe glowed with silver in the sun, precious but not luxurious, but more durable than ordinary rich and noble people.

At this time, Xu Chu had to sigh with emotion that God was unfair, so much love for the man in front of him, a calm mind, a calm and noble temperament, and the power that others envied...... Of course, she also believes that even if this man is only wearing a coarse cloth robe, he should stand out from the crowd.

Hey, in an era of not looking at faces, she is still not exempt from vulgarity.

She was thinking about it in a mess, her hand had unconsciously put the snack she had touched into her mouth, and she was just about to swallow it when she suddenly wrinkled her handsome face. Then she took the teacup and poured a sip of warm and fragrant tea, but as the hot water entered her mouth, the taste in her mouth became more and more complicated, and even her throat was about to smoke.

Xiao Qinglang raised her eyebrows and looked over, and found that she actually threw a whole small sour plum for seasoning into her mouth, and chewed it alive and swallowed it. That small sour plum is a special product recommended by Huang Dashan several times, and it is said that putting more honey to soak in water can nourish people. At that time, he thought about Xu Chu's thin body and how easy it was to get angry and lose his appetite when investigating the case, so he prepared a pack. Who would have thought that she would chew it directly......

Thinking that he had tried to drink it once before, Xiao Qinglang felt itchy at the root of his teeth.

He shook his head helplessly, leaned over slightly and took a pack of maltose melons from the lower layer of the food box, and then took one and handed it to Xu Chu's mouth.

Xu Chu instinctively opened her mouth, and the tip of her tongue swept over the round sugar melon, but the sweet and sweet taste with the malt fragrance melted in her mouth, and then spread to her limbs, making her breathe a sigh of relief.

also lost her heart, and lazily leaned on the back of the chair to thank Xiao Qinglang. But I don't know how Xiao Qinglang's heart beats because of the bewildering appearance just now, and even he, who has always been calm and calm, doesn't know where to put his eyes at this time.

In the end, he could only look at the official document in his hand, but the tips of his ears became more and more ruddy to reveal his thoughts. These days are really hard and difficult, Xu Chu has not experienced the gentleness of any ladies or small jasper in the past few days, and he has never learned to smile without showing his teeth, so there are some heroic and heroic qualities that are rare for ancient women. Naturally, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her actions, not to mention, she didn't deliberately please Xiao Qinglang, did she?

However, the moisturization of the sugar melon sticks to the lips and teeth, bright and full, and it is more and more beautiful with red lips and white teeth. In addition, when Xiao Qinglang fed, the tip of the pink and warm tongue skimmed over his fingers, soft and wet, which made his heart ripple constantly.

Somehow, a sentence suddenly popped up in Xiao Qinglang's mind, "It's good if the water ripples are clear". He was stunned for a moment, and then coughed uncomfortably, how could the good verses be crooked by himself? If you let the flower know, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry and jump to my feet.

Because they were in a hurry, neither of them rested in the village they passed by at noon. Xiao Qinglang said that the backlog of official documents and files that had accumulated for many days would not be able to finish reading for a while. On the contrary, Xu Chu, after re-reading his codex, was a little idle. After all, in the past, she used to focus on her livelihood, and in order to make a living, she kept conducting autopsy and investigating cases, but she didn't have time to think about her personal preferences.

It was bitterly cold outside, but it was warm inside the carriage, and after eating enough, she was a little sleepy. She glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and saw that he was still silent and didn't pay attention, so she simply leaned her head back on the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest.

The light and shadow flowed, the carriage swayed, and with only half a cup of tea, Xu Chu looked drowsy.
