"What? He's dead? Leisurely with a face full of disbelief, she didn't understand how people could say that they would die if they stayed in the government prison.

"Hmm." Qin Haoran nodded, and told the other people the news he had just gotten, "I heard from the official who told me that he died of poison in prison. ”

"Poisoning?" Mu Lan was skeptical about this, "Can you be sure that they took the poison themselves?" Or was it persecuted? ”

"It can be determined that he took the poison himself, and the official said that there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and there was no trace of struggle on the prisoners." Qin Yanran responded.

So you rule out the possibility of him being killed?

Leisurely frowned tightly, there was a breath in his heart that he couldn't go up or down, and he was very depressed in his heart.

"Alas! Finally, there was a little progress, and I could hit that side, but I didn't expect them to get rid of it so easily. Muzen said with a lament.

Mu Yan nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "We have ignored one point from beginning to end, and that is the relationship between the prefect and the Qin Mansion. ”

Everyone was stunned. yes, how did they forget that?

"Do they have anything to do with each other?" Shang Moqi came to the Southern Imperial Mansion later, so he didn't know the situation over there very well.

Leisurely glanced at him, and replied in a sullen tone: "Now Lord Xu, the prefect of the Southern Imperial Mansion, is in-law with Qin Huaihu, and Qin Huaihu's eldest daughter Xu is married to Lord Xu's second son. ”

Shang Moqi nodded knowingly and said, "I see, no wonder those people died!" It turns out that there is this Lord Xu to help! ”

Shang Moqi then thought about it again, and asked puzzledly: "Since we know that this Lord Xu has a connection with Qin Huaihu, why don't we go to the higher level of the yamen to report them?" ”

Leisurely and angrily glanced at him, "There is no evidence!" "If those robbers didn't die, they could be used as witnesses to say that Qin Huaihu was the messenger; But now, everyone is dead, even if they say that they will break the sky, they may not be able to convict Qin Huaihu of a crime.

Shang Moqi was dumbfounded, he had forgotten about it, no wonder You'er looked at him with idiotic eyes.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, we can only let this matter go for a while." Qin Xianran was still relatively open-minded, and seeing that several of them were depressed, he could only speak out to comfort him, "Fortunately, we gave a powerful blow over there this time, I think they will be honest for a while." It's not too early at this time, let's hurry up and finish everything in hand, and strive to go home for the New Year in a few days in the morning. ”

Listening to him mention the time of the New Year, they adjusted their depressed mood and put all their energy into the work in hand. They don't want to go home and be busy with work.

======

In the early morning of the twentieth day of the lunar month, the group finally embarked on the journey back to Nancang County. After traveling day and night, I hurried and hurried, and finally returned home on the morning of the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

On the side of the Qin family in Nancang, Qin's father and Qin's mother waited at the gate early with a large family; After seeing the several carriages coming from a distance, they all stepped down the steps excitedly, smiling and greeting the leisurely people.

"Daddy--" Youran jumped out of the carriage first, and ran in front of Qin's father and Qin's mother in a few steps, hugging them.

This is the longest time she has been away from Qin's father and mother since she came here, and it really made her experience the feeling of missing her relatives.

"Hehe, how old is this, and he is still like such a child, so that people can see the jokes." Although Qin's mother said leisurely in her mouth, her tone was full of doting.

Leisurely raised his head from his mother's arms, and replied nonchalantly: "What's that?" In the eyes of her mother, no matter how old You'er grows, she is a child; Since it is a child, it has the right to be coquettish with its mother. After speaking, he pricked his head back into Qin's mother's arms, this time he was really coquettish.

Mother Qin stroked her long hair with a smile, her eyes were full of happiness and doting: "Okay, okay, my mother can't say you, okay!" ”

"Hahaha...... 'The girl will always be the little padded jacket of the mother' is really right, we don't have this treatment as fathers." Seeing that their mother and daughter were so affectionate, Father Qin said with very hot eyes.

Leisurely turned his head to look at Father Qin, and saw him pretending to be sad, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. So she let go of Qin's mother, threw herself into Qin's father's arms instead, and said with a smile: "What did Daddy say?" Then it should be said, 'The daughter is still the little lover of the father's last life'! ”

Father Qin was stunned when he heard this, and after being stunned for a long time, he laughed out loud: "Hahahaha...... That's right, my family You'er is smart and clever, and he said his father speechless in a few words. ”

"Hey, where do I have?" Leisurely and mischievously stuck out his little tongue and didn't admit it.

"Hehe......" Everyone was amused by her appearance.

"Dad, mother." Qin Haoran walked over and saluted Qin's father and Qin's mother.

Qin's mother nodded with a smile, she hadn't seen her eldest son for a while, and found that he had grown a lot taller; This appearance is becoming more and more handsome and extraordinary, "You're working hard this time, right? Let's go into the house, my mother has prepared a lot of delicious food for you, you can use some, and then go back to the courtyard to rest. ”

"Yes." Qin Haoran replied with a smile.

While they finished speaking, Mu Yan's mother and son also finished their warm words. So, everyone walked into the house laughing and laughing.

After half a day of rest and adjustment, the fatigue caused by leisurely walking finally disappeared. In the afternoon, she came to the main courtyard with evening clouds and evening snow, and said something to her mother and relatives by the way.

As soon as she entered the house, she was hugged by Qin Siran, a little girl. At the same time, a voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley sounded: "Eldest sister, you are finally back, you are not here during this time, you miss me." ”

smiled leisurely and lowered her head, looking at Qin Siran, who was a head shorter than her; Jiao glanced at her and said, "At the end of this year, you really dare to say anything, and your mouth is getting more and more unobstructed." Be careful that after being heard by my mother, I will lecture you again. Also, since you think of me so much, why didn't you come to the door to greet me in the morning? ”

"Ah, hehe...... Qin Siran scratched his head embarrassedly, and replied in a low voice: "I read the script too late last night, and I accidentally overslept; No, I came to my mother's place as soon as I woke up, and I knew that my eldest sister would definitely come. As she spoke, she straightened her little chest, and she was still very confident in her intelligence.

Leisurely sneered, and doted on her forehead, "You! ”

"Hehe...... Qin Siran touched the place where his sister had pointed and smirked, then took his leisurely hand and said, "Sister, let's go into the house quickly!" Mother must be waiting for you! ”

The two sisters walked into the main hall with a smile and a smile, and saw Mother Qin and Aunt Qin sitting on the chairs in the right place, discussing something; Mu Lan sat on the side and listened with a smile.

"Mother, aunt, cousin, what are you talking about?" As soon as Qin Siran approached, he asked out loud.

"Mother, aunt, cousin." Greet with a leisurely and respectful salute.

As soon as Qin's mother turned her head, she saw her two slim daughters, and her smile instantly brightened a little: "You'er, Si'er, you're here." ”

"Hmm." nodded with a leisurely smile, sat down next to Mu Lan's side, and asked Qin Siran what he had just asked again: "Mother, what were you discussing just now?" "Speaking so vigorously, she didn't even notice that she and Si'er came into the house?

"Oh, didn't say anything, isn't it Xiao Nian today? Your aunt and I are discussing the menu for the evening! Qin Mu's eyes lit up when she said this, and she looked at Youran and said, "You'er, you came just in time, how about you take a look at this menu?" ”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Youran, only to see that it was written: braised pork, braised fish, roast chicken, smoked duck, Sixi meatballs, plum cabbage button meat, braised prawns, steamed crabs.

"Your mother and I just ordered these main dishes, and we haven't discussed the other cold dishes and stir-fried dishes yet." Aunt Qin saw that she was looking at it seriously, and added in a soft voice.

Hearing this, Mother Qin nodded, and when she saw this, she asked, "How is it?" Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

"Yes." Leisurely put down the paper, turned his head to look at Qin's mother, and said, "This braised pork and braised fish are all braised dishes, and some are repetitive." Why don't you replace the fish with squirrel fish? ”

"Okay, just change it to a squirrel fish. You wait, I'll make a note of it. Qin's mother thought about it, felt that what her daughter said made sense, and as she spoke, she turned around and picked up the pen and paper that had been placed on the tea table beside her, and began to write, "Okay, You'er, you can continue!" ”

"Replacing the roast chicken with tea tree mushroom roast chicken, this dish tastes better than pure roast chicken; Let's replace the smoked duck with roast duck! I can make this dish, and it just so happens that I have a unique recipe here. "Roast duck in this era is similar to smoked duck, so I leisurely want to make them Peking duck to taste," The remaining dishes don't need to be changed, so that the eight main dishes are completed. As for stir-frying, come to Kung Pao Chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, pine nut corn, bergamot eggplant, minced meat and garlic sprouts, spicy squid whiskers, golden jade eight belts, and three fresh stewed seeds! ”

"yes, okay." Qin Mu nodded in response as she recorded. These stir-fried dishes are all loved by her family, and she originally wanted to make these dishes.

"Sweet and sour tenderloin, pine nut corn are all my brother's favorite dishes! It's a pity that he is not at home, and he has no mouth to enjoy. Qin Siran held his chin in his hand and muttered.

Qin Siran and Qin Enran are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they have been together since they were in their mother's womb, and this is the first time they have separated! So don't look at Qin Enran when he was at home, Qin Siran always bullied him, at this critical moment, it was Qin Siran who missed Qin Enran the most.

Mother Qin paused for a moment, raised her head and said to them, "If you want to say that this is almost the New Year, the academy should be on holiday soon, right?" ”

After taking a leisurely sip of tea, moistening his throat, he replied, "It should be almost." Why don't I go to the fifth grandfather with my brother tomorrow and bring the little brother back? By the way, I gave some New Year's gifts to the fifth grandfather. ”

"Okay, just do what You'er says!" Mother Qin thought about it, then nodded and agreed.

"Mother, I'll go too, okay?" Qin Siran looked at Qin's mother and asked.

"Hehe, okay!" Qin Mu nodded in agreement, "This time, you guys should go!" If En'er hasn't come to the holiday yet, you can play with your fifth grandfather for two days and come back together. ”

"Good!"
