Lack of sleep has become a habit, and Changying doesn't pay much attention to it.

She blamed the night's unsteadiness on the events of the day. In the end, it happened a little suddenly, and it was bloodier than expected.

"Huang Ji is back."

When Zi Yan came with a book, his voice was very soft.

As soon as she finished talking here, Huang Ji opened the curtain and walked in: "Cheng Xiao just said that Du gradually went to the study, I don't know what to say, in short, Du gradually came out after a long time." After standing in the small garden for a long time just now, Du gradually went back to the room. ”

Changying thought for a moment and asked him, "That's it?" ”

Huang Ji coughed, and then said: "The six people who were brought in as puppets are indeed innocent and implicated, they are all honest poor families, and I don't know how to get involved in such a disaster."

"The subordinates have been sent to the doctor for treatment according to your orders, although they may not be cured as much as before they were injured, and walking should not be a problem after all."

Changying's fingers tapped on the table a few times, and then asked, "Is the money enough?" ”

"The money for medical treatment is enough, but I see that they are laborers in the family, and for this injury, my wife and children have to drink the northwest wind, so I took out a few taels for them to chew."

Changying nodded: "Go back and report the money, and ask Zi Yan for it." ”

After saying that, she thought about it, gathered her robe, and stepped out of the door to bask in the moonlight.

Huang Ji looked at her back and asked Zi Yan suddenly: "Why hasn't it stopped yet?" ”

"Still asking!" Zi Yan glanced at him: "I've been with the girl for so long, what does she think, don't you know?"

"This time, I came for meritorious service, but it took so long, and people not only ran away, but also died, isn't this disturbing?

"I can almost think of how Su Xinrong and the others turned around and sneered at us."

She has followed Changying since she was sensible, what is her girl's mind, how can she not know.

Huang Ji scratched the back of his head and sighed, "It's all my fault." It didn't work out. ”

Zi Yan snorted lightly in his nose to clean up the cup, and glanced at him again: "The girl doesn't blame you, strictly speaking, I can't blame you for this."

"But I think Su Xinrong's ridicule or not is secondary, anyway, our girl doesn't take her seriously. The main thing is that this matter has to be solved, and we only have about ten days left. ”

Huang Ji scratched his head again: "Then what can I do?" I won't do this to coax the girl's house! ”

Zi Yan laughed angrily: "Even if you want to coax, it's not your turn to coax, right?" Well, when I went to the street with the girl a few days ago, the girl stared at a gambling house called 'Hopewell' in the city.

"It was opened by the Zhenhai Gang, it seems to be a little boring, and then the girl ignored it, but you don't have to keep an eye on any bandits anyway, just go there to gangsters? It's also better than staring at Du gradually in the house. ”

Huang Jimao suddenly opened.

……

Changying blew the wind in the yard, and although she came back and lay down, she was not necessarily sure, but she finally fell asleep.

When he got up in the morning, Zi Yan said that Shaoqing had gone to check Fang Tong's whereabouts.

Fang Tong has not shown up yet, she is vaguely uneasy, but Shaoqing and they have already searched all the places where Yin He may have been, Cheng Xiao has instructed someone to go out recently, and there is no trace of Fang Tong in the places where those people have been.

This made people wonder, so she told Shaoqing at dinner last night, telling him to be sure to hurry up and act more secretively.

Huang Jilai asked if she wanted to keep an eye on the gambling house, but now she hadn't figured out which direction to turn around, so she let him take a look.

In addition, she was still thinking about Cheng Xiao, the man in black was dead, it seemed that she had no reason to stay, Cheng Xiao had long been eager to send her away as a plague god, and probably wouldn't be impatient with her to live down.

But it was still the same sentence, Fang Tong didn't show up, although the people in black were dead, the case had not yet been solved, and there were still some days before her half-moon period, and she also had a reason to stay.

If Cheng Xiao really wanted to drive her, it would not be so easy.

After breakfast, she slipped out of the Fang family's courtyard. Seeing that there was no one, he stepped on the trunk and went up the tree.

Mrs. Fang was sitting under the window, and Fang Tong's eight-year-old son was teasing the crickets.

The courtyard was quiet, and even the servants who were drying were light-footed.

Other than that, there are no anomalies.

She got off the tree and returned to the room, always showing Mrs. Fang's absent-minded face.

Fang Tong didn't go to a neighboring county, and it was possible that his whereabouts were unknown, did Mrs. Fang know?

She picked up the tea, and just took a sip, Zi Yan pushed the door and came in: "Fang Tong is dead!" ”

Chang Yingyi raised his head suddenly, and two drops of the tea splashed fell on the back of his hand, warm and cool.

……

When Du gradually received the news of Fang Tong's death, he was just about to go out.

He held his breath for a moment under the threshold, and strode towards the storeroom.

The body was found in the treasury of the Zhizhou Mansion, and when they arrived, Cheng Xiao and they were already there, Cheng Xiao was standing under the corridor with red eyes, and he comforted Mrs. Fang, who was crying until she was almost hoarse, with Mrs. Cheng.

And Fang Tong's body was already parked on the unloaded door panel in the hall, covered with a white cloth, the exposed skin of his face was purple and black, and there were some blood stains on the corners of his mouth. The yamen is looking at it.

"What's going on?"

There was another voice outside the door, he didn't look back, knowing that it was Shen Changying, so he walked straight to the side of the house.

Cheng Xiao arched his hand and sighed: "A few days ago, I sent Zhimu to Anji on an errand, but I didn't see anyone come back for two or three days, so I sent someone to Anji County to inquire, and the other party said in the yamen that I hadn't seen him at all, don't you say it's strange?"

"When I came back, I searched around, but this morning, when Master went to the storeroom, he found his body!"

Speaking of this, he wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed again, "Over the years, I have worked with him to manage Changxing, I only think that I escaped death that night, and then it will be a catastrophe and a blessing before I die."

"I didn't want to get away with it, and the murderer was found dead, but he- why do you think he can't figure it out?"

Changying stared at him: "What do you mean, Lord Fang died by suicide?" ”

"The doors and windows in the warehouse are locked, and there are bottles of poison on the ground, is it not suicide, but murder?" Cheng Xiao raised his eyes.

Changying stared at the busy work, as well as Mrs. Fang and the children who were crying hoarsely, and did not say a word.

Shaoqing tugged at her sleeve.

She glanced at him and walked out the door.

The clouds outside the courtyard gate were heavy and pressed in the air, which made people feel a little uncontrollable.

Shaoqing followed: "This matter is fraudulent!" I just went to see it quietly, and there was a record in the treasury record that the official went inside the day before yesterday to take things! ”

Fang Tong has been "away from the ya" for three days, according to Cheng Xiao's statement, Fang Tong should have "committed suicide in fear of crime" on the day he "left the ya", and the appearance of the corpse just now did not look like he had just died, which means that the corpse should have been in the warehouse for at least three days.

But there is a record in the treasury that the official once went inside to take things, so Cheng Xiao is lying?
