In the tea set on the table, one of the four teacups was turned upside down, as if she was about to pour tea for someone, but before she could pour it, she was interrupted by my arrival. At that time, Jin Niang quickly made a small movement, she put the teacup back, turned over another cup, and poured me a cup of tea.

Who was she going to pour that cup of tea for? I was visiting out of the blue that day, how did she know I was coming? Why are you waiting for me with hot tea? So that hot tea is definitely not for me.

I felt a little cold in my back: "I had an indescribable feeling - I always felt that there was another person in the room besides me and her. ”

"Another person? Who? ”

"I don't know, it's just a feeling, I feel like someone is staring at us, and that feeling is a little hairy when I think about it now. - Does Lord Shangguan believe in my dreams? I've never dared to tell people about this dream, I'm afraid they'll think I'm crazy. ”

"Did Miss Yan do this dream before hearing the news of Jin Niang's death?" Shangguan Yan asked me in a deep voice.

"Before, of course. Otherwise, you will say that I have been thinking about it day and night, so I was so scared when I heard the news of Jin Niang's death - I think I dreamed of Jin Niang's death? ”

"How can there be such a thing as killing people in dreams, Miss Yan's eyes are weak, so it's better not to think too much. The matter of the death case is in charge of the yamen, and there will definitely be a result. Shangguan Yan said pertinently.

"En......" I remembered the work of Cao Nan that I heard today, and took the opportunity to say, "I heard that Lord Shangguan invited Cao Zhutou to serve as the head of the government, and he has retired from the government for many years, and he even agreed to help the yamen again, which is indeed rare." ”

Shangguan Yan: "Miss Yan knows Mr. Cao?" ”

"I don't know each other, I just know that there is such a person. My father was also a head catcher in Yazhong, and after his disappearance, the head catcher's seat was vacant for a long time until Cao Zhutou came. I wanted to visit him several times to ask about my father, but Cao Zhutou had a strange personality and refused to see him, so I never looked for him again. ”

Shangguan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, why did he breathe a sigh of relief?

"Lord Shangguan, can you do me a favor—"

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Zheng Jewel is back!

"What's the busy?"

"I think there's something strange in my yard, and it's the dregs I'm taking right now—" I quickly shoved the slag wrapped in cloth hidden in my sleeve into his hand, "Don't let anyone know—"

Shangguan Yan was caught off guard by me.

"Shangguan Gongzi is still there? Do you want to stay for a light meal together? Zheng Zhuzhu had already come in, and I quickly took a few steps back.

Shangguan Yan coughed dryly and said, "I made an appointment with Mr. Cao to talk about something, so I won't bother."

"Then I won't keep you. Shangguan Gongzi is tired from running around, and he doesn't think he has time to sit down and eat well, this is a freshly baked shrimp dumpling in the toast building, you can take it with you on the road to eat. "Zheng Jewel thinks about everything very carefully.

"I'm tired. Thank you and farewell. "Shangguan Yan is gone.

It's hard work—

It's hard work—

So familiar!

I shuddered!

Isn't this voice said by the man Zheng Zhuzhu had a secret meeting in the back alley in the morning? The same voice, the same tone, I just found out now!

Zheng Jewel's secret meeting is Shangguan Yan?!

My whole portrait was struck by lightning, and my whole heart was about to crack, and I actually gave him the dregs, hoping that he would help me find out if the dregs had been tampered with—

How could Zheng Jewel have a personal relationship with the newly transferred county official?

No wonder, I should have noticed it just now! Zheng Zhuzhu is such a person who knows etiquette, why doesn't she call Shangguan Yan but Shangguan Gongzi? Could it be that they have a private relationship to be closer?

Zheng Zhuzhu said: "Are you tired? I'll put the food in the kitchen hot first, and if you're tired, go back to your room and rest. ”

I stiffened back to my room. Pushing open the window at the end of the bed, it was very close to the back alley, and some sounds could be faintly heard.

Really......

Zheng Jewel did not go back to the kitchen as she said, but quietly walked to the back alley. Someone was waiting for her in the back alley.

"Fang just ......" Shangguan Yan opened his mouth hesitantly.

A voice suddenly exploded in the alley, interrupting the conversation they were about to start: "Tell me about you, things are scattered everywhere, and now they are gone, don't think that if the thing is broken, no one wants it, so don't you want people to steal it back as firewood?" ”

Han San's laughing voice.

Shangguan Yan walked quickly from the horizontal alley into the main alley.

Han Sanxiao, who was entering the alley, obviously saw Shangguan Yan and said loudly, "Yo, isn't this Lord Shangguan?" Rare guest, how can I see your old man here here, and the tent wall is shining! ”

Sycophants.

Shangguan Yan didn't say anything yet, Han San smiled and said, "My lord, are you going to go in, or are you just coming out?" Come on, why mention such a big basket, politely. ”

Shangguan Yan still didn't answer.

Han Sanxiao continued to ask for non-stop, maybe he thought that Shangguan Yan was carrying a basket to come to see me: "I really have a heart, my lord, I love the people like a son." By the way, it happened to happen, and I just happened to be able to react with the adults. My lord, Song Lingjian's longbow is gone in the yard, and I don't know who is bored to play with it, although it is not a valuable thing, this is not a matter of self-importance, it is inevitable that people will be furious, Zixu has always been peaceful and innocent, and has a good habit of not closing the door at night, this time I don't know why, please ...... it."

Song Ling's longbow was lost? When did it happen?

"And where was the bow lost?" Shangguan Yan asked.

"It's not in her yard. I don't usually see her take it away, but something finally happened. Han San laughed and was schadenfreude, his voice drifted towards Song Lingjian's yard, and the footsteps followed her inside, listening to the footsteps, there were four people in total. In addition to Shangguan Yan, it is him, Song Lingjian, and there is a sea drifter who should have been silent.

When I entered the courtyard, their voices were muffled, but fortunately no one closed the courtyard door, so I could still hear them vaguely.

Han Sanxiao's voice was clearer, I could hear it clearly, he coughed two voices, and opened the topic: "It's not too early, it seems that I will miss the hot dish again." That's right, Lord Shangguan, as a local official, should have some understanding of the things here by now. It was a peaceful place before you came, but I don't know if it was a coincidence or too coincidental, but so many things happened when you came after we left. Lord Shangguan should also have a lot of questions, but he doesn't know why he hasn't spoken to us for a long time. In fact, we have always been ruthless in public-private cooperation, as long as you ask, we will know everything. ”

Shangguan Yan was still polite, and smiled softly: "Before the evidence of the case is complete, I don't dare to judge it." Moreover, the murder occurred after a few people left the town, so they did not think of disturbing a few people. ”

"It's not a murder of a dead woman." Song Lingjian said coldly.

"What is Miss Song referring to?"

Han San smiled and said, "In addition to the death case, there are naturally many things. Lord Shangguan's eyes are bright, don't pretend to be deaf with us. ”

Shangguan Yan didn't know if he didn't understand, or if he didn't want to explain, so he didn't answer.

After being quiet, Han Sanxiao's voice became a little serious: "We are all straight people, and we can't see things around the bush." We don't care about anything in the town, but the thing at the bottom of this alley is the business of these two families, and there is no distinction between people and ghosts, so we can't see it. ”

Shangguan Yan smiled understandingly: "Since the two of you have Spring and Autumn in your hearts, you will explain it straight to the point, and you will not have to worry about it in the next few times, no matter what the method is, it is all for the peace here." ”

Han San smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Well, how many of us will sum it up?" - Drifter, close the door, lest the wind leak out, it won't be fun. ”

There was a squeak, and someone closed the door to the courtyard, but it was just a door, and I really couldn't hear their conversation at all.

After a while, the door opened again with a creak, and someone walked out of the courtyard, listening to the footsteps were gentle and brisk, it should be Shangguan Yan's.

There were three people left in the courtyard, and after a moment of silence, Hai Piao said in a worried tone: "This is not good." ”

Han San smiled: "Then you want a good one?" ”

"It's going to hurt Sister Fei." The sea drift can't bear to say.

My heart tightened, what did they do to discuss, is it related to me?

Han San smiled and sighed, "It doesn't hurt or not, it's like this." We had no other choice. Sooner or later, the yamen will intervene in this matter, and sooner or later it will be the same. ”

Hai Piao asked, "Where is Ling's bow?" ”

Han San smiled: "Maybe I'm bored and go out to play, I'll come back by myself tomorrow." ”

Hai Piao said: "Bow with feet? ”

Han San smiled and said, "There are actually people who are not afraid of death to hit the idea on your head, I respect him as a good man." ”

"Get out." Song ordered the arrow to evict the guest.

Haipiao said: "I went to see Sister Fei." ”

"Wait." Song Ling's arrow road.

Hai Piao said: "What's wrong?" ”

Song Lingjian said with a gentle smile in her voice, which made me feel very strange, this time, this incident, and after the longbow was stolen, she actually smiled so softly, and replied to Hai Piao: "Let her rest well tonight, and we will go together tomorrow." ”

Haipiao didn't grind, most of the time, he was very obedient: "Okay." Then I'll rest first. There were footsteps and the sound of the door opening.

Han San smiled and said strangely: "What's wrong with this guy, he slept so early today?" It doesn't seem to be right, is there a sequelae of the poison? ”

"It must have been the sea breeze and the cold of the sea in his illness, and he was affected by the poison of the faith. After a while, you can just have a few idle needles. Song Lingjian was faint.

"Illness starts from shallow Chinese medicine, what does it mean to be idle for a while? It's like when you've been busy. Han San said with a disdainful smile.

"You can't see when I'm busy."

"When you can't see it, you can be as busy as you say."

Song Lingjian said: "The door is in front, don't roll in the wrong direction." ”

Han San smiled: "Who is rare to treat you like this." I'm going to look for food next door, will you come? "Although the quarrel has not stopped, what should be concerned is still to be cared about.
