Chapter 219: Suspicion Grows

Is that Xiao Shi someone from Xiao Hua? It was Shuangniang who gave birth to Zhang Qiu, and then abandoned him and disappeared. And it was at this time that Zhang Xiao took the opportunity to adopt Xiao Hua's son. ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was still meditating, and immediately got up and said, "After this case is concluded, I will write a letter for you to take back to Beijing." When the time comes, you just have to bring my handwritten book to the door and ask for the file. ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Chu and said, "Let's go to dinner first, they all say that Jinzhou City chrysanthemum wine can be described as a must." Today, we have a taste of it. ”

When passing by Zhang Xiao's winery, Xiao Qinglang took Xu Chu to get out of the car and get half a catty of wine. But maybe the two of them don't know much about alcohol, so they delayed for a while. Zhang Xiaoshi, who also lost money, was still busy working in the winery, and he was busy introducing it for a long time before he helped the two of them find a light chrysanthemum brew.

After returning to the carriage, Xiao Mingzhu, who was bored but was thrown on the carriage, kicked his legs and asked, "Third uncle, isn't it just to buy wine, why does it take so long?" ”

Xiao Qinglang glanced at her heartlessly, and said casually, "Zhang Xiao's doesn't know how to drink." Although she said a lot and made no mistakes, she was very cunning. It can only be said that her words cater to the preferences of the people who buy wine, which makes people feel a little good. ”

In other words, she is good at figuring out people's hearts. That's why I'm good at selling alcohol, but I'm not quite proficient in it.

After eating, several people were not in a hurry to go back. Xiao Mingzhu pestered Xu Chu to help her solve her doubts, so, under her questioning, a complex and tortuous story slowly unfolded.

And Xiao Qinglang leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and the people who were silently contemplating were disturbed by Mingzhu's exclamations and gasps from time to time. However, compared to the babbling Mingzhu, Xu Chu, who has always been calm and calm, can always hold his gaze tightly.

"This, this, this...... The third uncle didn't dare to make it up like this when he wrote a book. Hearing Xu Chu's conjectured conclusion, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but gasp.

Just talking about stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, Li Dai Tao, zombies, and golden cicadas shedding their shells, this is all light. Hiding from the sky and the sea, it is estimated that it cannot represent the unbelievable nature of this matter.

"It's mostly speculation now, and the truth will only be revealed tonight."

Xu Chu raised his head and met Xiao Qinglang's cold eyes. Suddenly, the sadness in her heart slowly faded.

For the first time, Xu Chu suddenly noticed the change in himself. It seems that since following him all the way, my heart has slowly lived. She is no longer a post-mortem machine, and she no longer even cares about silver rewards for the trouble of making a living. Whether it is an autopsy or an investigation, she finally begins to follow her heart, and even has pity and sympathy.

This feeling is like when she first entered the society in her previous life, she was full of enthusiasm and wanted to ask for her life for the people, and wanted to support justice and expel evil.

How long has it been since she realized her current state of mind? It's like a stagnant water that suddenly begins to ripple. She knows that the ripples and enthusiasm she has gradually developed are not because of the tenderness that comes from her heart-to-heart agreement with Xiao Qinglang. Rather, it was an emotion that she almost forgot about herself.

It is precisely because of this that she is grateful for the closeness between Xiao Qinglang and Xiao Mingzhu, and is moved that the two have never looked at her differently, and she is even more glad that she can find a lover who is also a teacher and a friend.

The sky is getting late, and in the heavy twilight, Jinzhou City is lively again after the rain break. During the Lantern Festival, the state city celebrates for three days, and the city gate will be closed every night when it is ugly.

Under Xiao Qinglang's operation, it was not until the beginning of the lanterns that Song Derong rushed back from outside the city full of fatigue and dust. But before he could return to the house, he ran into Xiao Qinglang's carriage halfway.

"Your Excellency, are you going back to the house?" Xiao Qinglang is used to a gentle look to outsiders, although he does not have a solemn coldness, but he may not be a little real.

At this time, he had already changed into a brocade robe made of azure silk, and he looked particularly handsome and elegant under the lights, but he responded to the suave words of outsiders.

Song Derong was still frowning, but when he heard the sound from outside, his face was slightly better. Xu thought of the fact that Hua Wu's illness was mentioned in the letter he had just received from Rong Gong, and he simply ordered the coachman to stop the carriage on the side of the road to talk.

After the carriage stopped, he pushed Wei Shang away and asked gently, "Where is Gongzi Zhou going?" ”

Xiao Qinglang arched his hand, "I was about to go to find the adult, and the truth that has been bothering the adult for a long time tonight is about to surface." I selfishly thought that if this matter was to be properly operated, even if it was a scandal, it would be beneficial and harmless to adults. ”

As soon as these words came out, the coachman and the official looked away and did not dare to explore more.

Song Derong frowned and groaned for a moment, seeing that Xiao Qinglang's expression remained unchanged, not like a joke, he immediately waved his hand to let people get into the carriage and say in detail.

"You bothered so much, this official should reward you." Song Derong's expression was dark and uncertain, and he squinted at him meaningfully.

Xiao Qinglang remained silent, and his narrow eyes were slightly cold, and said: "That girl from the Liu family calculated with her beauty last night, and made people insult Xiao Chu. And this morning, Lord Liu even secretly sent someone to find out where he was going, what did you think his purpose was? ”

Song Derong frowned and was silent, obviously thinking about the truth of his words.

Xiao Qinglang knew that he was suspicious, so he simply took out something from his arms and threw it on the table, and said coldly: "If it weren't for the caution of the people who followed him, I was afraid that he would have to ask for his way." ”

Song Derong moved his gaze to the object, but saw that it was a waist plate with the seal of Liu Fu, and he didn't know what kind of medicinal powder it was on the side of the waist card. However, in the end, he is also a person who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he has seen a lot of dirty and dirty methods. What's more, as Liu Morang's opponent, he naturally knows him very well. And Zhang Fu'er, who was favored by the Liu family and his wife, naturally heard of it, even if he didn't eat the fireworks in front of people, he actually had a lot of means and scheming.

Thinking about it like this, it is no longer strange that he is following Xiao Qinglang from the Liu family, and even intends to use means on him.

In fact, Xiao Qinglang's actions are not groundless. It's just that it happened suddenly, and when the secret guard held the person down for questioning, the person made it clear that he was from Liu's mansion and invited him to Chonghe at night with Zhang Fu'er's words.

At that time, the man's demeanor and words were very ambiguous, which was really disgusting. It is precisely because of this that he never revealed half a point to Xu Chu. After all, after obviously declaring sovereignty, it is not very glorious to be able to attract the wind of the movie disc.

He didn't want to be like the two brothers, because the woman next to him suddenly flattered, and annoyed his sweetheart, and almost missed the good relationship. Even if the misunderstanding was cleared up afterwards, the road for the two to chase them was much bumpy.

Of course, Xiao Chu's heart is different from that of ordinary women, so it shouldn't be like that. But just in case, it's better to rot in your stomach.

However, Zhang Fu'er made such a fuss, which made him feel more and more that an upright woman like Xiao Chu was beautiful. Even if it is not three from four virtues, virtuous and virtuous, it will not give birth to so many crooked thoughts.

When Xiao Qinglang's thoughts came here, his expression became more and more sincere.

"Adults should know that although there is no merit in the lower body, it is not something that others can despise at will. The so-called precautionary measures, before being oppressed by Lord Liu with power, he naturally hoped to find a reliable backer. And now only Lord Song is the only one in Jinzhou City, who can compete with the Liu family, and even suppress him. ”

He said it indifferently, but the disgust and disgust in his eyes couldn't be faked. This made Song Derong gradually believe more in his heart.

The identities of Zhou Yunlang and Miss Xiao Chu are not abnormal, and even the household department has already recorded them. Not to mention the name of Xiao Chu's girl's female household, it is already rare. Let's just say that Zhou Yunlang has been acting in the capital for a long time and is slightly famous.

And it is well known from all over the week that Hua Wuzhi is the son of the flower phase, and he has no heart to be an official, and he is bent on mixing among the market vendors. Therefore, it is reasonable for him to know Zhou Yunlang, who is also a wealthy businessman.

What's more, Zhou Yunlang was also a national teacher, and his status was different from that of ordinary wealthy businessmen.

It can be said that such an identity is the most credible when it is highly regarded by Hua Wuzhi and even becomes a close friend.

Thinking of this, Song Derong's suspicions were gradually dispelled. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The girls of the Liu family have always been top-notch. After a pause, he frowned again, "It's just that the official of the girl's family is not good at interfering, you also remind Miss Xiao Chu to be careful, that Zhang Fu'er actually has a perverse temperament, and she will be retribution." You lost her face last night, and she won't give up. ”

The anger in Xiao Qinglang's eyes darkened slightly, he nodded and suppressed the sullenness in his heart and said, "Thank you for reminding me, it's just that I have always believed in the first strike." As long as the adults are willing, just give an order, and serve the adults in the next wish. There is no doubt about the financial resources of Qishan Academy, but the Zhou family can stand tall in the capital, and it is not entirely silver...... As long as the affairs of Jinzhou City are handled properly, the Beijing officials who visited secretly will have an understanding of the adults Geng Zhigang. In addition, the Zhou family dredged up relations in the capital for the adults, and let the civil officials headed by Hua Xiangye wave the flag to cheer for the adults, and the adults will definitely be able to go to the next level. ”

Song Derong, who was still a little anxious before, heard this, and finally evacuated his depression. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible, it's a pity that it's ......."

It's a pity that as the son of a merchant, he has no fame and cannot enter the court as an official. Otherwise, he will definitely encircle people under his banner and become his staff.

It's not that it can't be encircled now, it's just that Zhou Yunlang is not from a poor family in the end, and he is afraid that letting him enter the Song Mansion without official or position will backfire. Just like the Liu family, let him think that he was contemptuous and belittled him.

However, when I thought of Liu Mo, the old fox actually missed such a talent because of his niece. If I knew it in the future, I don't know if the old fox would regret it or not.
