Chapter 289: Two Unsolved Cases
When Qian Xianling heard the words of the first two people, his face couldn't help but become solemn. That Feng Chengzuo is the only one that can be used in the county after Han Lao's work, if there is really something wrong with the corpse he examines, or he deliberately covers up the fraud. After this case, as a local parent official, he must be re-examining all the cases that have been investigated by Feng Yan.
"Okay, you will arrange this matter with the yamen first, and tomorrow morning, this king will take Miss Xu there."
Open the coffin for an autopsy, no matter when, there is always a set of processes. Even Xiao Qinglang had to ask the Liu family to sign the documents first, just like he did last time he checked Liu Jinshan's corpse. Without the approval of the Liu family, I am afraid that there will be some trouble.
Qian County Ling also knew the truth, and immediately did not stay longer, but after a salute, he ordered two officials to wait here for the prince to send, and then took people away.
asked people to send away Qian County's order, Xiao Qinglang also put away the files and autopsy sheets on the table, and then took Xu Chu out for dinner.
At this time, it was already past noon, and the Qian County Order had delayed a lot of effort, so that Xu Chu was already hungry. In this way, she was not hypocritical, rubbed her hungry stomach and said, "Don't you eat at the post station?" ”
Xiao Qinglang smiled faintly, glanced at her and said, "There are four famous foods in Qingyuan County, Xiao Chu has heard of it?" ”
He already looks outstanding, and with such a breezy smile, he is as warm as water, chic and handsome. Such a graceful and suave son, with noble manners and elegant speech, should be a personable and talkative, but at this time, it is a local snack when he opens his mouth. If others hear it, they will inevitably be ridiculed.
However, Xu Chu didn't think that he would ruin the scenery when he mentioned this, and after solving the problem of food and clothing, she felt that her tongue was becoming more and more picky. In the past, she always thought that she had never been particular about eating, but now she found that it was not because she didn't like it at the beginning, but because her livelihood forced her not to pay attention to it.
Now, she also has silver in her hand, and she has already negotiated with Xiao Qinglang. She helped him conduct an autopsy, investigated the case, and he ate and lodging it, and recorded some rewards according to the size of the case, which will be settled together after entering Beijing.
Although the two of them have the same heart and confess to each other in one place. But as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, and before getting married, it is natural to distinguish more clearly. Besides, even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about her father's future, and as a daughter, she must save pension money for her father.
She shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and then turned her face to look at Xiao Qinglang with a blank eye.
Xiao Qinglang smiled faintly at her gaze, but he no longer sold Guanzi, and while walking out with her, he said, "Thin skin, thick meat, fragrant meatloaf." Golden crispy pickled flower rose cake. Then there are stewed hangers with soup and vegetables, plus a pot of fragrant farmhouse that you never get tired of eating. These four things, both meat and vegetables, salty, sweet and spicy, are the best taste of the guest house. It is said that returning to the guest house is also named because the merchants are willing to take a detour here to eat again. ”
After all the way, Xu Chu naturally kept secreting saliva in his mouth when he heard so many delicious foods. However, compared to the expectation of those foods, she was more curious about why Xiao Qinglang knew so much about the food of various places, and even knew it well.
So, she glanced at Xiao Qinglang suspiciously, and asked with a sigh, "Could it be that the prince has been here or studied the food journals of various places?" ”
Otherwise, how could he know so much about the food in such a remote county?
In Xu Chu's impression, it seems that from the first time he met him to the present, although he has listed many delicacies, he is really about to go to the dinner table, and he is not interested in those foods and does not have much preference.
If you want to say that the most enjoyable time he ate, it was probably in the case of the violent death of the young lady of the Qian family, who snatched his bowl of noodles from a noodle stall not far from the Qian Mansion.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qinglang again.
Xiao Qinglang was angry and funny by her, thinking that he took time out of his busy schedule to secretly study the delicacies of various places, is it a joke? If it weren't for the sake of raising her mouth and making her happy as he liked, why would he have to work so hard.
Although she has never been picky about the food in her mouth, Xiao Qinglang was still keenly aware of her love for food when she mentioned many famous dishes in the capital. Or, he had already remembered that when he proposed to take her to eat the Buddha's Hand Golden Scroll after returning to Beijing, she didn't hesitate to say yes.
Sometimes, even he didn't realize that her influence on himself had become ingrained and seeped into his blood. As long as she said it, even if it was just a whim, it could make him prepare with joy.
Xiao Qinglang's smiling eyes became more and more gentle, and he said with a comfortable and happy expression, "At this time, you are still teasing me, be careful when you go to dinner for a while, let you have a treat." ”
Xu Chu blinked and said with a smile, "I'll treat you, I'll treat you, and now I've made a lot of money with my son." ”
Regardless of the reward he did not settle for himself, that is, in the Qian family case and the Five Elements case, the silver she got was enough to catch up with the income from the non-stop collection of autopsies and corpses in the past year. Therefore, if you want to say that she is wealthy, she thinks she can also call it a good one.
At this time, the two of them have already arrived, and she naturally no longer calls Xiao Qinglang as the prince.
The two walked side by side, one was quite handsome, and the delicate brocade robe set off him more and more upright and noble, even though he just lowered his eyebrows and talked with Xu Chu next to him with a smile, but it also made people feel good.
As the largest restaurant in the county, the Hui guest house is naturally exquisite and gorgeous, and the two-story pavilion is very conspicuous on the street with two strings of huge red lanterns and the word Huike.
Walking further inside, I saw that the hall was full of people, and it was extremely lively. Looking further inside, it is a luxurious and atmospheric platform, which looks like it is used by artists to set off the atmosphere.
When the two entered the guest house, the shopkeeper led the two into the box with a smile on his face.
He has always looked at people with a very accurate gaze, although both of them are in regular clothes. However, the dark lines of the moonlight circulating on the fabric, as well as the temperament of the Lanzhi jade tree, are enough to show that the two of them must be from a rich and noble family.
According to his guess, the woman must be the man's sweetheart, so he was carefully cared for and gentle. Thinking of this, he naturally didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Childe, girl, what do you want to eat?" ”
Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows, "Fragrant meatloaf, rose cake, stewed hanger and a pot of incense." If there is one, you can introduce it yourself. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly wrote it down, and then complimented him before saying, "The store has a new lotus crisp, the food is crispy and pine, sweet, and has a unique flavor, which is very popular with the ladies and ladies of each family." Why don't you give this girl a taste? ”
Xu Chu saw that Xiao Qinglang really wanted to ask for more, and immediately smiled and said, "Just the two of us, and then Brother Wei, we can't finish this table." Besides, I don't like sweets very much, so if I want that lotus crisp, I might as well have a plate of spicy lo-mei. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and introduced a few spicy dishes, which also fit Xu Chu's thoughts.
Outside is bustling with people, the hustle and bustle, and all kinds of cries and cries come and go. The two of them could see the bustling scene with a little probe. Looking inside, you can see the storyteller on the first floor foaming at the legendary story, and when the story is over, I see several performers playing with spears, which also attracts a burst of applause.
In summer, the hot wind blows through the ice and pours in, which is quite charming. Under such circumstances, even a person like Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but lean on the back of the chair and drink tea comfortably.
Xu Chu leaned crookedly on the back of the pear blossom wood chair, twisted the chilled fruit and nibbled on it in small bites, and looked at the astonishing and very lively juggling downstairs by the way. When the juggling changed to a babbling opera, she withdrew her eyes boredly.
She is not proficient in opera, and naturally she doesn't like it, so it's a bit boring to listen to at this time.
After eating the fruit in her hand, she looked at Xiao Qinglang and said with a smile, "Childe, if Childe resigns from official business in the future, in addition to earning money from the book, he should also be able to have some gourmet geography." I've grown up so old that I've only seen gourmets, but I've never seen anyone record the flavors of various places into a book for others to refer to. ”
Xiao Qinglang listened to her words with banter, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "That relationship is good, and when the time comes, I will have many ways to save money and support Xu Yanzuo with you." ”
He smiled meaningfully, and the light under his eyes moved slightly, which made Xu Chu's face suddenly redden, and he didn't catch the stubble for a long time.
It wasn't until she casually took the tea handed by Xiao Qinglang and poured it down that she felt that her hot cheeks felt a little more comfortable.
But at this moment, Xiao Qinglang was in a good mood and said, "Hey, I almost forgot, this cup of tea is what I just drunk."
As soon as Xu Chu looked up, he saw that there was no tea cup in front of him. Then, she was still pretending to be calm, coughed violently, and only patted her chest to give herself relief.
Xiao Qinglang saw that she was choking, and he stopped joking, and hurriedly stepped forward to help. He has always been calm and calm, his face was also a little anxious, and even a little annoyed, he saw that Xu Chu's tears fell out, and hurriedly said, "I'm playing with you, my teacup is on the side of the teapot." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the teapot on the table forward slightly, revealing the teapot that happened to be blocked by the teapot.
After helping the person to sit upright, he asked, "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”
Xu Chu rolled his eyes speechlessly, covered his chest and complained, "Childe, where is your jade tree in the wind?" Where's your scenery? Where's your dragon and phoenix? And what about your jade-faced Yama's nobility and arrogance? ”
Seeing that his face was full of anxiety, he said again, "It's much better, it's just a choke, and it's not in the way." However, Childe is getting more and more now."
Speaking of which, she suddenly got a little stuck, and she couldn't come up with adjectives after thinking about it for a long time. But after a while, the sentence that Mingzhu once said popped up in his mind.
At the time, she was still a little puzzled, but now she knows it.
Xiao Qinglang saw that she was still in the mood to tease, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
