Chapter 111: Hands Clasped (1)

My lord, I don't know if the carriage that Liu Zhen rode in that day is still in Yamen? ”

"After the incident, the Liu family sent someone to ask for it, and the official checked that there was no abnormality, so he allowed them to take it away." Zhang Youwei frowned, "However, this official has informed Liu Wengui that he cannot dispose of the carriage privately before the case is closed, and he cannot go out to use it." ”

Xiao Qinglang raised eyebrows with Xu Chu, if this is the case, then why did Liu Wengui take the carriage away in a hurry? Neither can you use it, and you can't dispose of it yourself, is it just to take it back to the house as an ornament?

At this time, although the two of them did not speak, they both thought about it in their hearts.

"In that case, I wonder if you can give us a convenience and let us visit Liu's house?" This was said by Xiao Qinglang, he had no intention of making a big deal about it, so he still wanted to secretly investigate for the time being.

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, and it just so happens that the official also wants to explore the details of the Liu family again. Well, why don't you go after lunch today? Zhang Youwei is actually unwilling to wait for a moment, but he also knows that the investigation of the case cannot be solved overnight. Now that Miss Chu has obtained a lot of clues for her autopsy, it has exceeded his expectations, and she can't be urged to continue running around with illness.

As for how to explain Xiao Qinglang's noble and outstanding temperament at that time, as well as Xu Chu's down-and-out generosity that is different from that of a countryman, he naturally has something to say. It's nothing more than the son-in-law and his wife, a classmate he met during the scientific expedition, who are now helping him investigate the case.

Speaking of which, Zhang Youwei seems to be pedantic and upright, but in fact he has a lot of thoughts. At the very least, after hearing the conclusion of Xu Chu's autopsy, after only a few breaths, he concluded that the Liu family must be different.

At this time, both Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu have a new understanding of Zhang Youwei, a well-known pedantic and old-fashioned person. From allowing women to conduct autopsies, to licensing autopsies, to using non-yamen officials to investigate cases, they don't look like honest and honest defenders.

What they thought was actually not wrong, earlier, Zhang Youwei was indeed reading to death. He also talked about the master's righteousness every day, but he had been in the small county town of Yunan County for a long time, and all he had to do all the year round were trivial things, and gradually the old-fashioned in his heart was exhausted.

It can be said that if he really guards the books every day to govern the county, and even the Diao people in the poor mountains and bad waters, I am afraid that he will not be able to persist for more than ten years.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu bowed their heads slightly when they got Zhang Youwei's words, and then took the toolbox and turned around and left the morgue. As for the filth on the ground behind them, and the people lying on the door frame outside the morgue who were constantly retching and even vomiting out their bitter gall, the two of them didn't have much energy to appease.

However, Xu Chu, who was dizzy, hesitated before leaving, and then comforted a few officials: "This kind of thing is born twice and matured, and you will get used to it when you see more in the future." Just like me, who has just had an autopsy, can happily drink a bowl of fragrant hot and sour beef offal soup......"

When Aunt Chu and Wei Guang, who came out close behind them, heard this, their faces changed, and their throats couldn't help but roll up and down a few times. And Xiao Qinglang glanced at her quite amusedly, and said with a smile: "You just drank some soup for breakfast, I'm afraid you'll be hungry at this time." Why don't you take advantage of the fact that you still have some free time to go out and eat a bowl of beef offal? ”

"When I was delivering hot water last night, I happened to inquire that there was a century-old beef grocery store in Yunan County. According to the subordinates, the offal is known for its rich soup, rich flavor, and fragrant teeth, and if you go late, you are afraid that you won't even be able to smell the taste. ”

Originally, Xu Chu didn't have any appetite because of the wind and cold, but looking at Xiao Qinglang's serious face, he described such tempting offal with a serious face, but it really hooked her gluttony. She swallowed a mouthful of spit, turned her head to look at Aunt Chu and invited, "Auntie want to go together?" It's so delicious, it's a shame if you miss it. ”

It didn't matter if she asked, the corners of Aunt Chu's mouth twitched a few times. I don't know whether to say that she has a big heart, or what to say about her, she has just dissected such an ulcerated and sticky corpse, and in the blink of an eye, she can really drink a bowl full of soup full of internal organs without changing her face?

Anyway, whoever wants to go, she will never go.

Not to mention Aunt Chu, just as she was responding to Xiao Qinglang with great interest, she heard a weak retching sound behind her. These two are probably the adults who came to toss them. All of a sudden, many people regretted that they had been passive and slacking off a few days ago.

Regarding the dejected appearance and thoughts of others, Xu Chu didn't pay much attention to it. In her opinion, even if she specializes in art, whether it is a county order or an official, she is a person who is related to the safety and vital interests of the people. Not to mention the autopsy, even if they encounter a rotting corpse or a damaged corpse beyond recognition, they should take it seriously, and they must not dodge because they are unlucky.

You must know that many unjust cases and wrongful cases in the Great Zhou Dynasty were due to the avoidance of corpses and autopsies by the yamen officials, which gave bad deeds the opportunity to cheat. It's like Qian Si'er using madder vinegar to cover up the scars of the corpse.

However, she also knew that she was meticulous about the autopsy, but now that it was the Great Zhou Dynasty, her words and thoughts were not enough to affect anyone. It's just that if one day, she can really compile her thoughts and thoughts into a book, as Mr. Song Ci said, the officials should be there in person.

Just when Xu Chu eased his mood and silently thought about those who didn't have it, he heard Xiao Qinglang's cold, clear and smiling voice suddenly sounded.

"It's rare to go out looking for food and you can still wander." When he opened his mouth, he was obviously teasing and joking, but it was far from the cold image he had always had in front of outsiders.

Xu Chu blinked and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm distracted, it's just that I'm thinking about how to eat more later, so that my son can spend more." ”

Xiao Qinglang seemed to be smiling, seeing that she deliberately looked at herself, wanting to show sincerity as much as possible, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Why do you think that this son has lost by taking you with him." ”

As he spoke, there was no longer any more of the fierce momentum he had when he first met, and the rest was soft and smiling.

When Xu Chu saw him say this, he shook his head again and again and denied it, "Childe, I lost this deal." In the past, if I took some private work, I could still save some private money, but now I have no monthly money with you, no reward, and even no extra money. In this way, is it not that I am losing? ”

"Are you changing the law to remind me that you still have private money in your purse?" Xiao Qinglang held his hands, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then today's beef offal soup, you can just ask for it." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he subconsciously covered his purse, and then said to Xiao Qinglang, who had already walked a few steps away: "I'm changing the law to remind you, it's time to send me monthly money......"

However, the only thing that responded to her was Wei Guang's gloating expression with a smile on his lips.

"As the people around Childe, we must learn to treat money as dung...... After a while, your brother Wei's meal money, you can simply settle it together. ”

As soon as Xu Chu was about to protest, he heard the noble boy in front of him, who had always been calm and calm, making people feel that he was as clear as the bright moon and dragon and phoenix, and let out a hearty laugh from afar. Obviously, he agreed with Wei Guang's words.

Helpless, Xu Chu could only pout, thinking about his purse, thinking that he should thank the master for rubbing his neck and the ointment he gave for free.

No one saw it, and Wei Yan, who was secretly following, almost dropped their jaws at this time, and no one knew that Wei Yan had already wanted to secretly share this important matter with his brothers who stayed in the palace in the capital. The prince of his own family, the spring heart is rippling, and he is still laughing outside......

But as soon as he thought of the prince's inexplicable smile, he felt a thrill in his heart, and then leaned over and continued to hide under the eaves, motionless like a tile.

When I arrived at the grocery store, the shop was already full of people, and just looking at the excitement of the meal before the meal, it was not difficult to think of the scene when it was noon later, and the store was overcrowded.

Because of the beef offal soup in winter, it is famous for its excellent taste. Therefore, in the previous year, whether it was returning to the hometown or coming to buy New Year's goods, more people would come here to settle down to open meat, or bring some home for the New Year.

And compared with other shops, the amount given by this store is very large, and if you meet the farmer, the owner will also let the guy scoop an extra spoonful of soup to add it. Don't think that this is a small favor, you must know that in the offal soup, the soup is the most important.

It is precisely because of this that both rich and poor families are very respectful of this store. Of course, the taste and ingredients are naturally first-class.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Xu Chu looked at the King of Jing'an, who was dressed in a white dragon fish suit, and walked through the crowd as steadily as walking through the corridor, without the slightest sense of messiness and crowding. It's as if everyone subconsciously gave way to him.

However, before she could sigh, "I'm afraid that it has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and the leaves don't stick to the body", she felt that she had been hit several times, and seeing that she was crooked, she was about to be squeezed and difficult to keep up with Xiao Qinglang. She regretted it a little, how could she be deceived by Xiao Qinglang's illusion of walking through the crowd easily?

"Not yet." Just as she was wailing in her heart, she was suddenly grabbed by someone's wrist. She suddenly looked up, and was greeted by a pair of dark eyes with a little tenderness.

Xu Chu couldn't tell how he felt at this time, as if he had indulged in that tenderness, and it seemed that his whole heart had settled down. She looked at Xiao Qinglang blankly, and then her eyes fell on her increasingly hot wrists, and her big hands with distinct knots were as pleasing to the eye as he was.

For the first time, she didn't shyly withdraw her hand, but let Xiao Qinglang lead her forward.

There is a private room in the backyard of the grocery store, and Xiao Qinglang is not worried about the problem of money, so he has already asked Wei Guang to make a decision with his buddies. At the moment, the three of them silently followed the group into the private room, and then Wei Guang, who didn't know where to put his eyes, Ma Yu'er said: "The subordinates are guarding outside the door. ”
