Chapter 158: Trapping (2-in-1)
"Why did the girl come out?"
When Ah Qiao saw Cheng Qi coming out, he hurriedly took out the wooden ladder and put it next to the carriage, and went over to help her.
Cheng Qi had just finished tearing up with Han Yi, he was not in a very happy mood, waved his hand and refused Ah Qiao's kindness, lifted his skirt and stepped on the wooden ladder to lift the curtain, suddenly stunned, and subconsciously said: "Why are you here?" ”
Cheng Yan was sitting in the car, he hugged his arms majestically, his posture was very domineering, and he glanced at him, and his handsome face was full of coldness: "Why can't I be here." ”
Cheng Qi didn't bother, sat next to him and knocked on his knee.
"What are you doing with your legs apart?" She pressed her knee against the man's knee, "It's already small in this carriage, and you're too careless, and the space left for me is too small." ”
Cheng Yan didn't speak, but he honestly put his legs away.
"I already know about Lin Zhimo." The man suddenly said, "Are you alright?" ”
Cheng Qi was a little amazed at the speed of the spread of the news, and ordered Ah Qiao to drive away, turning back to Cheng Yan and saying, "It's Lin Zhimo who died, how can I have something, what have you heard here." ”
Cheng Yan looked at her, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Last night, the scroll he placed was glowing and burning again, and when he opened it, sure enough, Cheng Qi was in danger again, but the strange thing was that the new handwriting disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the crisis ended in an instant.
When he was in Tinglan Water Pavilion, he could still sneak in to take a look at the situation, but the Vermilion Bird Tower was very tightly guarded, and he couldn't do it lightly, if he was discovered, it would not only destroy himself, but also Cheng Qi, but also the reputation of all the show girls in the entire Vermilion Bird Tower.
Fortunately, the crisis was solved, so he tossed and turned all night, but when he woke up early in the morning, he unexpectedly learned that a show girl had died in the Suzaku Building.
Cheng Yan remembered that his head was about to blow up at that time, and he grabbed Xin Yi's collar and shook it all around, only to learn with peace of mind that the person was not Cheng Qi, but the niece of the Dali Temple in Beijing, Lin Zhimo.
Cheng Yan didn't know who this unlucky person was, and she didn't want to know, in her eyes, Cheng Qi was fine.
"Lin Zhimo is so dignified, how could he die sideways."
Cheng Yan asked: "I heard that you died last night, so it's strange that you slept soundly, but you didn't find out?" ”
"It's not that we slept soundly..."
Cheng Qi thought about it and didn't know how to tell Cheng Yan, after all, the doubts about whether the person's true identity was a traverser were still in her heart, so as a criminal policeman, she was subconsciously cautious and simply stopped talking.
Cheng Yan on the other side was still waiting for her to finish, but after waiting for a few seconds, the man turned his head with a cold expression, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"There's not much to say." Cheng Qi pressed the joints of his fingers boringly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common, maybe this Lin Zhimo has some hidden disease, he died suddenly last night, Aunt Yun just rolled her up and sent her home, don't you always tell me to pay attention to cultivation." ”
Cheng Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he only felt inexplicable: "So what?" ”
"So..."Cheng Qi's expression was weirdly cute, "So a qualified lady can't inquire about these news, let alone inquire, and can't even look at it... Ahhh ”
Before she finished speaking, Cheng Yan impatiently reached over, grabbed her left index finger, the person didn't notice, grinned in pain, and blurted out: "... It's not that we sleep soundly, it's... It's the murderer who uses poison to be clever! ”
Ah Qiao, who was outside the curtain of the car, heard Cheng Qi's shout, glanced back, and wanted to ask, but he knew that this pair of brothers and sisters who had built a shelf the day after tomorrow had always been weird, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk quietly.
And in the carriage, Cheng Yan, who got what he wanted, let go of his hand with a satisfied face.
"Sure enough, the little tree can't go straight if it's not repaired." After he finished speaking in a low voice, he skillfully pulled out the handkerchief tucked on Cheng Qi's chest, and wiped his hands carefully, as if he disliked Cheng Qi very much.
"Are my hands that dirty?" Cheng Qi looked aggrieved, looked down at the red stains between his fingers, and rubbed them for a few seconds before saying, "It hurts me to death." ”
Cheng Yan casually threw the handkerchief back and forcibly broke the topic back again: "Use poison wisely? In other words, is it certain that Lin Zhimo was poisoned? ”
Cheng Qi couldn't help it, so he nodded.
"Then what do you mean by being clever?" Cheng Yan asked again.
So far, Cheng Qi didn't want to be on guard, so he simply dragged it out and said: "Last night, Duan Guifei rewarded the demonstration of cold porridge from Shangjing, and we drank it, and Aunt Yun was worried that we would have a stomachache after using the cold porridge, so she served the tea. ”
“… It's that Han Yi. She said, a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with some autumn and winter coldness, "She wanted to kill me with that cup of tea, but I didn't drink it, Lin Zhimo did." ”
After Cheng Yan listened, his expression and psychology did not fluctuate, but he now understood why the handwriting on the scroll last night was fleeting.
"I saw her death." Cheng Qi said, "From the outside, it doesn't look like poisoning at all, it's like a sudden hidden illness and death." Covering his face and sighing, he said helplessly, "This concubine is really powerful." ”
"Duan Guifei?"
Cheng Yan's head turned quickly, "You mean, it was Duan Guifei who instructed Han Yi to do it?" ”
Cheng Qi nodded, his thin figure shrunk into a ball, looking very tired.
Cheng Yan's pupils trembled slightly, he was always targeted like this, he couldn't breathe when he was surrounded by killing machines, and people would be tired.
He wanted to reach out and pat the girl in front of him on the shoulder, but as soon as he stretched over, Cheng Qi suddenly raised his head.
And so.
His hand slapped Cheng Qi's face directly.
…
…
A few seconds later, Cheng Qi's voice broke the embarrassment.
"You... Is there something wrong? She said.
Cheng Yan was also stunned, swallowed slightly, stretched out his hand back, and then said to Cheng Qi seriously: "I applied a new cream today, you smell... What do you think? ”
"It's fine."
Cheng Qi didn't pay much attention to it, and glanced at him: "Next time, you don't have to be so close." He knocked on the car board and said loudly, "Ah Qiao, haven't you entered the city yet?" ”
"It's still early, girl!" The man replied from outside the curtain.
"What are you anxious about?" Cheng Yan looked at her, "But something?" ”
Cheng Qi shook his head and instructed Ah Qiao: "Later, I will go to our family's Jixin Pharmacy first, you and Cheng Yan will go back to the Gongfu Mansion, and I will go back by myself when the time comes." ”
Ah Qiao had no objection and responded.
But Cheng Yan objected and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Are you feeling unwell? ”
"Nope." "I'll ask about the goldenrod petals." ”
"Didn't I hand it over to the third child?"
"Ask more and you're not missing a piece of meat."
Cheng Qi rubbed his neck: "Besides, I have other things to do." ”
Cheng Yan knew that she had an idea, so she didn't speak.
The carriage swayed into Liangcheng and stopped in front of the Jixin Pharmacy, Cheng Qi was helped out of the car by Ah Qiao, beckoned Cheng Yan inside through the window of Xiaoxuan, and entered the pharmacy with neat steps.
Ah Qiao saw Cheng Qi go in and sat back in front of the carriage with a smile on his face.
Cheng Yan saw it and said coldly: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at our girl." Aqiao is not shy about it.
When Cheng Yan heard this, his face faded a little cold, and he showed a flat smile: "You also think that she is unruly and indecent, and she walks and talks like a man, don't you?" ”
As soon as Ah Qiao heard this, he fell off the car board, grabbed the reins again and again to sit down, turned around and stared at Cheng Yan very unhappily through the car curtain, and muttered: "What nonsense is the young master talking about, how dare the slave think about our girl like this, the slave is happy, and he laughs when he is happy." ”
"What's so nice to see that she's unruly." Cheng Yan is still puzzled.
Ah Qiao didn't want to explain, but he didn't dare not explain.
"Our girls are beautiful and kind-hearted, and other people's girls are stepping on the back of the coachman, and she refuses, not to mention, the girl is healed from her illness in this line, and the person is also cheerful, not as sick as before, even if there are no rules, it is a good thing."
The more Aqiao spoke, the more he felt beautiful in his heart.
Cheng Yan in the car touched his chin and smiled unconsciously.
"Hurry up and get on your way, there's a lot to talk about."
…
…
After Cheng Qi entered the Jixin Pharmacy, Xiao Tong, a guy who was weighing medicine, looked over and hurriedly greeted him a few steps: "The girl is here." ”
Cheng Qi glanced at the rest of the people in the hall who were seeing a doctor, and when those people saw her, their eyes showed a lot of emotions, some were afraid, some were envious, some were jealous, and more were strangers and gaps.
They wanted to get up and salute Cheng Qi, but she hurriedly waved her hand and refused, walked to the back room, and asked Xiao Tong to finish the work in her hand and go over to serve her.
Xiao Tong responded, Cheng Qi walked quickly to the back room, swept around, and found that Zhou Lao Langzhong was not there, so he went to the medicine cabinet and searched for it, a pair of eyes scanned quickly, and finally fixed on a drawer.
- Red ointment.
Cheng Qi opened the drawer and took out the two porcelain bottles inside, which were respectively pasted with red paper, one of which said "Red Avoidance Ointment", which is the ointment that can make the Shougong Sand on the arm disappear for a moment.
The other bottle is labeled with a red cream, as the name suggests, it can make the Shougong Sand that disappeared after the break reappear for a moment.
The last time I came to see these two bottles of medicine, the name of Fuhong Paste had not yet been taken, Cheng Qi weighed it, it seems that the effectiveness of these two bottles of medicine Zhou Lao Langzhong has been tested, and now it is a finished product.
But she didn't need this red cream, so she went back to the drawer and put the bottle of red cream into her arms.
Han Yi, don't you want to decide the winner in one game?
Then don't blame my men for being merciful.
Cheng Qi scolded twice, put away the red ointment, the curtain on half of his body was opened, and the guy Xiao Tong came in from the outer hall, and asked while wiping his hands: "Why is the girl here?" But what's wrong with the body? ”
"Zhou Lao Langzhong is not here?" Cheng Qi turned around and answered without shock.
"The teacher went out to see a doctor."
Xiao Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead again, he had only recently started to go to the court, and he was very nervous: "If the girl has any orders, just ask me to do it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for the girl." ”
Cheng Qi is not sure: "Has Cheng Dai been here for the past two days?" ”
Xiao Tong nodded directly and said, "Here, Young Master Taiheng came at noon yesterday." ”
Cheng Qi's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that this kid's efficiency was quite high: "What is he doing here?" ”
"Girl, don't worry, Young Master Taiheng is very happy, and he is not here to see a doctor." Xiao Tong recalled, "Young Master Taiheng came yesterday... Gave me a soaked petal and let me see if it was goldenrod. ”
"Is that what the hell is that?" Cheng Qi's eyes were cautious for a moment.
Xiao Tong was stunned by her for a moment, and then said, "Yes, that look is a golden flower." ”
Cheng Qi's heart sank suddenly.
Holly really has a problem.
Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Tong asked a few words before the man said, "It's nothing." "Stopped, didn't you say last time that the goldenrod soaked in water cures cough and abdominal pain, the green daisy in my hospital has this disease, you can wrap some for me." ”
Xiao Tong didn't suspect it, and wrapped up Cheng Qi.
The man took it and was about to go out to return to the Gongfu, when he remembered one thing again in a daze, and said, "Xiao Tong, if I'm not mistaken, your hometown is in Queensland, right?" ”
Xiao Tong nodded.
"Then you Queensland," Cheng Qi asked, "are there any representative snacks?" ”
Xiao Tong didn't think about it: "That must be mung bean cake." As soon as he talked about this, he immediately said that "when it comes to mung bean cake, it must be the best in Queensland, and the emphasis is..."
"That's enough."
Cheng Qi neatly stopped his words and turned to leave.
Xiao Tong scratched his nose and reluctantly went to see a doctor.
"The children in this long house are so strange." He wondered from within.
…
…
After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Cheng Qi had just entered the mansion gate, and saw Cheng Shu coming towards him, the man rarely quickened his pace, came over and took her hand, and said with concern: "Grandma, I know everything about the Vermilion Bird Tower, you are fine, don't frighten you." ”
Cheng Qi shook his head, comforted her a few times, looked down and saw that she was wearing a jade bracelet on her delicate wrist, her eyes were slightly deep, and she asked lightly: "Sister Yu'er, why don't you see the gold bracelet you wore as a concubine?" ”
Cheng Shu was stunned, and then smiled lightly: "That's a reward from the concubine, how can you easily take it out and wear it." ”
Cheng Qi raised his head, withdrew his hand, and asked, "Sister Yu'er, this bracelet... You are the only one. ”
Cheng Shu didn't know why Cheng Qi suddenly said this, and touched his lip flap, not knowing how to say it.
"Miss Qi!"
Coincidentally, Sister-in-law Zhang came running from not far away and broke this weird atmosphere.
"Miss Qi, the old lady knows that you are back, and asked me to come over and ask you to come to the Wuyuan to be obedient." Sister-in-law Zhang asked Cheng Shu again, "Miss Yu'er wants to go over together?" ”
Cheng Shu immediately said: "No need, I have something to leave the house, you can go." ”
Cheng Qi nodded and left with Sister-in-law Zhang.
Cheng Shu stood at the gate of the mansion again, frowned for the first time, and then lifted her skirt and left the mansion.
…
…
On the way to the Wuyuan, Cheng Qi asked, "Is there any movement over there in Holly?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang was cautious like an agent: "The girl asked me to watch, naturally I didn't dare to make a mistake, but yesterday at noon, Young Master Taiheng came back and said... The goldenrod thing. He hesitated for a few seconds, "Girl, that's not right with Holly." ”
"I know."
Cheng Qi took out the bag of dried goldenrod from his sleeve and handed it to her, instructing: "After soaking this in water, the remaining petals should be carefully processed, and then knead the water into the mung bean cake, Holly's hometown is from Queensland, she will definitely eat it." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang turned out to understand what Cheng Qi did in the blink of an eye, so she said: "What does the girl mean, are you going to tell our lady about Holly?" ”
Cheng Qi nodded: "If my mother knew, she would definitely be sad and frightened." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang felt that she was reasonable, and nodded sincerely: "Okay, the girl has this filial piety, I will definitely do it." ”
