Chapter 11: A Visit to Zhang Chengzuo

The owner of the rice shop also has no daughter-in-law, and has some unclean relationship with the young daughter-in-law in the shop next door, and he is also an indecent man on weekdays.

Among the three men who died this time, only the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a wife and concubine.

One is the owner of the rouge factory, the other is an official in the imperial court, and the other is a rice seller. These three people, no matter how they think, shouldn't have intersections!

Meng Yuyun always felt that there was something she hadn't thought clearly, and her intuition told her that this place she hadn't figured out might be the key to unlocking this mystery.

She told Zhang Chengzuo about this, and Zhang Baizuo felt that what she said made some sense, and also helped to try to recall in his mind whether the three people had anything in common, but he couldn't remember it.

It's a pity that before Meng Yuyun could figure it out, the tragic death of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the panic of Chang'an people, this case had already attracted the emperor's great attention.

In order to calm people's hearts, the emperor specially decreed and ordered Shaoqing of Dali Temple to investigate the case.

Meng Yuyun was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and Dali Temple's intervention in this matter meant that it was impossible for her to come into contact with those corpses again. No matter how Lu Shang is, he is just a head catcher, and he can only help in the yamen.

At night, there was another distinguished guest in the palace of Zhennan Wangfu.

Qin Jing'an looked at the girl opposite who was sitting with her legs split apart with a smile, "Zou Meiren, you are also a famous family, why haven't you learned half of everyone's beautiful style at all?" ”

"It's still everyone's show! If my father heard you say that, he would have beaten you! "Zou Ran is the youngest daughter of the General's Mansion, and she has an extremely free and easy temperament, and she has been raised as a boy since she was a child.

Qin Jing'an also remembered the way Old Man Zou slammed his fists, and couldn't help but shudder, he hurriedly changed the topic: "Come back this time, how long will you stay?"

"A few months!" Zou Ran was a little helpless, the old emperor's patience with the General's Mansion was becoming more and more exhausted, and now he kept her in Chang'an, obviously to be a hostage.

"......" Qin Jingan was silent.

"I heard, you have a crush on a little girl?" Zou Ran's scrutinizing gaze lingered on him.

Qin Jingan didn't have to think about it, he knew that it was Tang Qingyou's second fool who said it, he held his forehead funny, "He said nonsense, don't you still know me?" ”

Zou Ran didn't reply, she looked Qin Jing'an up and down, and became more and more sure of the fact that this person was Hongluan's heartbeat. The smile on her face faded, and she raised her eyebrows charmingly.

"Try not to let my sister know about this." The sister of her own family, she knows her temperament the best, and she regards Qin Jingan as more important than her life.

Qin Jingan hooked his lips and didn't care much: "What if you know?" It's just a little girl, and to me, it doesn't matter. ”

Zou Ran shook his head with a smile, Qin Jing'an, this person, usually has the overall situation in his hands, and he looks dashing. There were also a lot of wild bees and butterflies that pounced on him, but he refused to give him even a little pity except for taking advantage of others.

At the same time, a few lights were quietly lit in the backyard of the green building, and the warm yellow halo was in stark contrast to the fire in the front yard. Meng Yuyun sat at the head of the backyard wall, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze, her legs swaying, waving in the air.

"Little girl, you still learn to pretend to be deep as an adult!" She stood under the wall with a smile on her face, her head raised, and the soft lines of her side jaw made her look gentle and watery.

Meng Yuyun stretched out her hand at the woman who was not much older than herself, and her thin and small palm was like a chicken's paw. She didn't know what to think, her mind was blank when she looked at that hand, as if she was being pulled by fate, and she also stretched out her hand to the girl on the wall.

"A night like this is really like the night I was sold." The smile on her face didn't slacken at all, "You know what? When I was sold, I was even younger than you! ”

Meng Yuwan lowered his eyebrows, "At that time, you were very scared, right?" ”

"Isn't it? A little girl, in this kind of place, can you not be afraid? Guan Hua laughed at herself, "As the days went by, I forgot my original name." ”

"You're a lot like my sister." Meng Yuyun turned her head to stare at the flowers, "You are all very good to me. ”

"Your sister...... Is something wrong? Huahua asked tentatively.

"She's dead."

Meng Yuyun has been nervous these days, and the fire burned everything she had, and also burned the traces left by those people in black.

Wanhua didn't know what to say, so she could only sit quietly with Meng Yuyun, the bright moonlight fell on Meng Yuyun's face, and her distinct cheeks made her look a little weird.

The two girls on the wall snuggled up to each other, and their shadows were stretched long, long by the moonlight. Like stunning twin flowers, each blooming with their own beauty.

Meng Yuyun asked for a pair of scissors, the hair covering half of her face was too much of a hindrance, the hair rubbed against the rusty scissors, and the black hair fell to the ground, fluttering lightly without a sound.

She looked at herself in the rhombic glasses, half of the fine bangs looming to cover the scar, and her hand slowly raised. Meng Yuyun stroked her ruined face and whispered, "Sister, I don't hurt anymore, and you don't hurt either, right?"

There was silence in the room, and no one answered.

Zhang Yanzuo's home is in a small alley, the house looks a little old, the door is not closed, Meng Yuyun knocked on the door, shouted twice and no one came out.

There was a big yellow dog tied to an iron chain in the yard, and when it saw Meng Yuyun standing at the door, he didn't bark, so he slept on his stomach, and from time to time a pair of eyes opened a slit to look at the two eyes.

Meng Yuyun thought it was very interesting, and sneered at it twice with a smile. When the yellow dog heard this, he became more and more disinterested in dealing with Meng Yuyun, turned his head, moved his body, and lay on his stomach in a different direction.

She didn't give up and kept lowering her body and screaming, so that others could see that there was something wrong with this girl's mind.

"Meng Anan, what are you doing here?"

Qin Jing'an didn't know when he stood behind her, and the sudden sound frightened the little girl. He stared at Meng Yuyun with a calm pair of eyes, and his words were a little ridiculous, but a trace of killing intent quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Qin ...... Qin Gongzi. Meng Yuyun was surprised, she and the person in front of her, the number of encounters was too much.

"I'm asking you!" Qin Jingan nodded the little girl's forehead with a smile.

Meng Yuguan looked at the room with some hesitation, most people in the world looked down on her work, if she said that she was here to learn art, would she be ridiculed?

That's it.

Meng Yuguan lowered her head, not wanting to look at the expression on Qin Jingan's face, she replied in a muffled voice: "I came to see an elder, I want him to accept me as an apprentice."

Qin Jing'an raised his eyebrows, he looked into the room, "You came to find Zhang Chengzuo?" ”

"Hmm!" Meng Yuyun was a little nervous, she bit her lip and grabbed the corner of her clothes uneasily, "Will you look down on me?" ”

Qin Jingan was stunned by this question, and he laughed out loud, and he pushed open the door with ease. The big yellow dog in the house saw someone coming in, and he was still lying on his stomach.

Qin Jingan smiled at Meng Yuguan, swaggered up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea into his mouth.

Meng Yuguan: "......"

Glaring at the man wordlessly, he turned his head and began to take care of Qin Jing'an, although Meng Yuguan also felt that it was not good to break into a private house, but it was her benefactor who did it.

Qin Jing'an stared at the trembling body at the door, playing with the teacup with some amusement, recalling Zou Ran's words in his mind, he couldn't help but shake his head, how could he fall in love with such a little girl?

When Zhang Chengzuo came back, he happened to see such a scene.

The girl squatted at the door and trained the ants to climb the branches with branches, as for the demon in red, she moved a chair, sat comfortably at the door and watched the little girl tease the ants, and from time to time reached out to poke the ants down.

The golden sunlight gilded the two of them with a misty halo, let's call Qin someone, a young man, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and a pair of eyebrows and eyes like a clean-colored landscape painting.

"Hey! Little bunny, what are you two doing? Zhang Yanzuo didn't want to spoil such a harmonious and beautiful scene, but it really blocked his way home, so he had to destroy it.

"Little old man, yo! Fishing again? Qin Jing'an changed his previous gentle appearance, he jumped up and climbed Zhang Yanzuo's shoulder with one hand, and grabbed the fish basket with the other.

"Stinky boy, no big or small!" Zhang Cheng scolded like this, and he couldn't help but show his love for this kid in his eyes.

Meng Yuwan squatted in the corner and watched the two of them joking, knowing these two together? She still squatted at the door for a long time, for fear of leaving an impolite impression.

Qin Jingan winked at her, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a narrow smile, "This is Meng Ayan, I invited you, show this little girl your good ability to make fish today?" ”

Zhang Yanzuo stared at her deeply, "Let's enter the house!" ”

Qin Jing'an saw that he was used to being here casually, ran to the kitchen and took two bunches of grapes, threw one bunch to Meng Yuguan, and pinched one bunch to eat.

Meng Yuguan thought about whether she should go into the kitchen to help out, although she didn't know how to do it, but it was still okay to help cut a chili garlic, and just wanted to go in the direction of the kitchen, she was stopped.

"That old man likes to cook, you don't have to worry about it."

Meng Yuyun replied in a daze, she squatted down beside the big yellow dog with a blank face, and tore off a grape and threw it into her mouth.

Qin Jingan just watched and didn't say anything.

Zhang Yanzuo only stir-fried three dishes, all of which were home-cooked dishes, and one of them was the most delicious boiled fish. While eating, Qin Jingan found fault with it, saying that there were too many fish bones.

Zhang Qizuo didn't give face, and choked back directly.

Meng Yuyun was a little uneasy in her heart, she wanted to behave better, so she deliberately quietly picked up the fish bones, she looked at Qin Jing'an, who had many thorns on the side, and her mind was empty for some reason.

Hearing Qin Jing'an complain again, she picked up the prickly meat from her bowl and put it into Qin Jing'an's bowl.
