Du gradually stroked the back of his hand that was cooled by the spring cold, and straightened his body: "If you catch them, the people belong to you, and the things in Cheng Xiao's hands belong to me." ”

"What is the thing in Cheng Xiao's hand?" Shen Changying turned his head: "The gradual guard doesn't seem to have answered me yet, you don't expect me to do anything with you in a daze?" ”

She doesn't like to be taken advantage of, and she won't let people take advantage of her.

"It's something mentioned in Chen Tingchen's blood book." Du gradually seemed to see that she was impatient, but she became happy, "To be precise, it is a criminal evidence recorded in the form of a ledger. ”

The long tassel looked up.

He looked over calmly: "I believe you know Chen Tingchen's case. When he died, he left a blood letter, which mentioned that someone in the court intended to disturb the court, Chen Tingchen said before his death that the evidence against this person fell in Jiangnan Province, and the court followed the vine and touched the melon, and three months ago targeted Cheng Xiao, who was related to Su Yuan, the servant of the ministry.

"My task is to get this account book and hand it over to the imperial court."

Changying was really stunned for a moment.

How wide the impact of Chen Tingchen's case is, perhaps she knows better than anyone else from her previous life.

Although this case was eventually characterized as an "unsolved case", in the next few years, every official who fell would have something to do with the case, or even their ...... So there are some things that don't stand up to deep thought.

Du Yan's statement sounds like there is no loophole, and what Cheng Xiao holds must be an important matter related to the government.

And Chen Tingchen's death is quite suspenseful, Cheng Xiao's eldest daughter Cheng Mei still lives in Jingshi Luo Mansion, although Cheng Xiao is far away in Jiangnan Province, but when it comes to his relationship with Luo Yuan, it is not surprising that he will be implicated.

But she really never associated the cases of Cheng Xiao and Chen Tingchen.

She looked at him again, "And who are you?" ”

When she was thinking about it, Du gradually was also distracted by the night.

Hearing her ask, his eyes flashed slightly, and after a pause, he suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms.

The jade pendant is not big, the style is decent, but it is atmospheric. Look closely at the edge of the edge there is a small gap, but only half of the rope at one end is left, as if it has been cut off by a sharp object.

"Familiar?" He asked.

The long tassel was taken in his hand and looked carefully.

Du Gradually's gaze fell on her face impartially, and some obscure light was moving under her eyes.

"I haven't seen it." She said.

Du gradually frowned: "Are you sure?" ”

The corners of Shen Changying's mouth twitched: "The jade of Jingshi Baoyu Village is indeed not cheap. But gradually guarding this piece in my hand, forgive me for being lonely. ”

Du gradually lowered his eyes and took the jade back, looked at it twice, and turned the jade over again.

A few words are engraved on the back of the jade. The light is not bright, but the carving is exquisite, and it is quite deep, and it is not difficult to touch it while looking at it.

After reading it, Changying's expression froze: "Are you from the Guangwei Hou Mansion?" ”

How can she not be familiar with the Fu family of Guangwei Houfu?

Today, there is a prestigious noble "Shuangying" in the court, and one of the Shuangying is Fu Rong, the son of Guangwei Hou.

Fu Rong was brilliant when he was young, and he became a popular young nobleman in the world of Daning with his talent in both civil and military affairs, his beautiful character, and his temperament and appearance like a pine and cypress, and he also became one of the young nobles who were valued by the emperor.

If the people who are outstanding in the city and their skills are from the Guangwei Hou Mansion, it is reasonable.

Because the Guangwei Marquis Mansion is not only valued by the emperor now, but also the blessings have been extended later.

Judging from the current situation of confrontation between imperial power and relatives, it is logical for the emperor's people to check Cheng Xiao, who has a background.

But she knew all the people in the Fu family, but she had never seen him.

The dawn sky illuminated Du Yan's expression a little unpredictable. "You are very impressed with the Fu family."

Changying smiled, noncommittal.

She has lived in Jingshi since she was a child, where can she not know these noble children in the city?

Du gradually retracted his gaze, reached out to take the jade pendant, held it in his hand and looked at it again: "Has General Shen suffered any serious head injuries in recent years?" ”

Chang Ying paused slightly, and raised his lips: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Du gradually rubbed this jade pendant for a long time, and then lowered his eyebrows and chuckled: "It's not interesting." I think you're just an old friend. ”

Changying disagreed. This kind of vulgar tricks of hooking up with people are endless.

It is really sad to think that he has already married, and I can't help but sympathize with his wife, to have such a shameful man who likes to hook up with women everywhere, and has to show in advance that he is married and pretends to be physically and mentally strong.

Thinking that she actually wanted to be in the company of such a person, she suddenly restrained her expression.

However, she will not let this affect her judgment of the right thing.

She thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to put on a crotch." But I wonder what you're going to do next? I have cooperated with you, how can you make me able to make meritorious contributions?

"I think they wouldn't be so stupid tonight and waiting for me a second time before I left. And Cheng Xiao will also deal with that account book ten out of ten. ”

To put it simply, his intentions are good, but it is not so easy to do.

"What we should do now is to dispel Cheng Xiao's suspicions first." Du gradually stepped down the stone steps, "This failure, Cheng Xiao will be like a frightened bird, he will doubt me from the defense of the mansion, and he will also doubt you since your appearance."

"We covered each other to continue to settle down in the mansion, while I came to find the ledger.

"You can stay in the name of tracking down the bandits, and if you have a clue, you can go and catch the thief, and I can provide help if you need it.

"If you can't catch up, I can give you half of the credit for collecting evidence, so that you can also make a note in the credit book.

"But there is one thing, when you are acting in the house, you and your people must cooperate with me."

He still has half a month at most, and it is inconvenient for a person to act in the mansion, and getting his companions in is tantamount to startling the snake, since she also has her purpose, then covering each other is obviously the best choice.

"Why half a month?" Changying asked.

"Because I have received the news that the master behind Cheng Xiao has sent someone to Changxing in Beijing to calculate the distance, which is about half a month."

"If you know someone is coming, why don't you wait until he's gone?"

"Cheng Xiao won't necessarily hand it over to him directly." Du gradually said, "In the past, no one has ever intercepted the letters that he circulated with Jingshi. Otherwise, do you think he would still be alive until now? ”

Chang Ying was speechless.

She finally understood why Cheng Xiao, who came back to her house at the Flower Dynasty Festival yesterday, was so obviously guarded, it seems that her hunch is right, Cheng Xiao's premonition against her is not that she came to fight the autumn wind, but that she also came with some kind of purpose.

She glanced at Du Gradual, and suddenly said, "Tell me such a big secret, and gradually guard me is not afraid to publicize it?" ”

"I'm afraid." Du gradually glanced at her, "It's just that if I don't say it, will you promise me?" ”
