Chapter Twenty-Three: Accidentally Laughed Up

Wei Mansion, inside the Qingqiu Pavilion.

"Alas......"

In the room, there was a sigh of annoyance.

"What's wrong with the second miss, why are you sighing?" Hong Si took a bowl of hot jujube porridge and sent it to Shangguan Qingyue's table, "If the second miss is tired, take a break and then paint." ”

"Hongsi, why is it so difficult to draw?" Shangguan Qingyue once again angrily gathered up the work under his hand that he didn't know what it was, and threw it into the paper tube.

"No, the painting of the second lady before is one of the best in our Canglang!" Hong Si opened his eyes wide in disbelief and asked, "Back then, the old lady also invited the best calligraphy and painting gentleman to teach you and the eldest lady. ”

"Wei Xueyao can also draw?" Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant, Wei Xueyao wished that she would be destroyed, and it was impossible for her to go to her to help paint the portraits of those merchants.

Forget it, it's better to ask for others than for herself, it's better for her to work her own. But...... How can you draw the most realistic picture?

After a few sticks of incense.

"Second cousin, second cousin, how is the portrait you painted? Lord Wang and Lord Zhongli also came to see the portrait! ”

Outside the door, before anyone arrived, the sound was heard first. Wei Linfeng's loud voice made Shangguan Qingyue, who was about to fall asleep, wake up suddenly.

What, Prince Jing and Zhongli also came to see the portrait?

Before Shangguan Qingyue destroyed his works, but seeing that Wei Linfeng and the three of them had entered the room, Wei Linfeng unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and then turned to the table and grabbed the drawing paper-

"Hey, I haven't ...... yet"

"Poof!" Wei Linfeng was caught off guard, and almost all the tea in his mouth was sprayed, and even some of the water foam was sprayed on Shangguan Qingyue's body.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Second cousin, this ...... What did you draw? Pig's head? ”

But seeing the white rice paper, a cute face covered with a cloth towel that was indeed five points like a pig's head jumped on the paper.

"Wei Linfeng, it's too much!"

Shangguan Qingyue's face couldn't be darker, and on the other side, Zhongli Junqing, who was really hard, also laughed.

"Haha, girl, just now Linfeng is still boasting to me and the prince about coming to Haikou, why are you ...... now?"

"Laugh to death, forget it!" Hey, it's a shame. The bear child of the wind......

"Laugh again, believe it or not, I paint a portrait of you two every day, and then post it on the street to show the girls?" Shangguan Qingyue plucked his eyes fiercely, and smiled at Zhongli Junqing and Wei Linfeng, who didn't know the north and south of the world.

"Ahem...... That's fine. Qu Jinglan raised his hand and lightly covered the corners of his lips. It can be seen that he seems to be about to show signs of being unbearable, "However, in that courtyard today, the shopkeeper who often comes to the wonton shop was poisoned and killed, while the shopkeepers of several other merchants did not see the corpses, so the life and death are uncertain." ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Qingyue was surprised, didn't they escape the clutches after all?

"Then, the next step is to search the shops all over the city to see which shopkeeper is missing."

Zhongli Junqing finally stopped laughing, wiped the tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and said.

Shangguan Qingyue sighed, being ridiculed by the demon foxes, this feeling is really indescribable. However, what he said was the truth, so he also echoed, "The investigation is to investigate, but it is not appropriate to make a big show, after all, I have seen the people who pretended to be me and Linfeng, and I have also seen those merchants." If the wind is too loud, more people will inevitably be harmed. However, Qingyue has a reluctant request, that is, can I also go to the Criminal Department to inspect the bodies of the murdered merchants and Cheng Rou's father? ”

The main source of the circulation of these counterfeit money, not only in the business of the businessman, I am afraid that more in the inconspicuous small households, plus yesterday the suspect who pretended to be her and Wei Linfeng escaped, therefore, what can be seen and touched in front of you is only these two corpses, as a forensic doctor, it is the most direct way to re-sort out the clues from the dead.

In addition, if Cheng Rou, who is still imprisoned in the palace, is cured of his illness at the same time, and then obtain more effective information, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

"What, you? Want to see a corpse? Zhongli Junqing was so surprised that he plucked out his ears and approached Shangguan Qingyue's face like a monster, "Didn't I hear it right?" ”

"Go to ......" Shangguan Qingyue raised his hand and pushed Zhongli Junqing's handsome face away, which can be called a demon, "I'm serious. ”

Immediately facing Qu Jinglan, Shangguan Qingyue said seriously, "Lord Jing, I think you know very well, this case is by no means as simple as imagined, the living are difficult to judge, and the dead will never lie." ”

The four eyes were facing each other, and there was a moment of warmth. Qu Jinglan's faint eyes seemed to reveal an indescribable clarity.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Naturally!" Shangguan Qingyue patted his chest, then generously took Qu Jinglan's hand, and hooked his little finger with his little finger, "Qingyue will not disgrace his mission, Lord Jing, let's pull the hook ......"

Qu Jinglan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect her move. Hook? Is it a promise and a promise? Even though she had hugged herself twice before in full view of everyone, looking at her bright smile and the hint of softness and coolness between his fingers at this moment, somehow a certain part of his heart seemed to be gently touched......

"Hey, I said girl, you hook up with Lord Jing, why don't you hook up with Lord Ben?" Zhongli Junqing's face was full of unhappiness, and seeing that the two of them seemed to be in harmony, he quickly took Shangguan Qingyue's hand, "I want it too!" ”

"Demon fox, how old are you, what are you making a fuss about?" Shangguan Qingyue withdrew his hand amusedly.

"Lord Ben is the boss of the criminal department, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake......"

β€œ......”

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but be speechless, these days, there are so many strange flowers.

"As a rule, you should go to Cheng Rou for treatment tomorrow, but then go to the Criminal Department." Qu Jinglan spoke, Zhongli Junqing had no objection, and only touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

"Yes, Lord Xie." Shangguan Qingyue proudly raised his eyebrows at Zhongli Junqing, causing him to laugh dumbly.

finally sent away the two great gods, and it was already a matter of incense.

"Second cousin, I thought you just had amnesia and forgot something, but I never thought that you couldn't even remember painting at all......" When the two walked back, Wei Linfeng finally couldn't help but ask Shangguan Qingyue curiously.

"I'm sorry to say that your cousin is a dead man now." Shangguan Qingyue sneered lightly, and her tone was not lacking in self-deprecation.

"What's the matter, what kind of shame is this......" Wei Linfeng muttered quietly, but he didn't know that Shangguan Qingyue's face had gradually darkened.

"What did you say?"

"Ah, no, no, hehe...... The second cousin is the best. Wei Linfeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly rushed into the Qiwu Garden where he lived with his head in his hands.

"Smack!!"

As soon as he ran into the courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of broken porcelain from inside the house.

"What's wrong?"

Even Shangguan Qingyue was startled, and was about to go in together to check what was going on, when he heard Wei Xueyao's screaming voice......

"Lan Cuiping, don't think that if you have a marriage contract with Linfeng, you think you are a member of the Wei family! Don't forget, you haven't married yet, my Wei family can cancel the marriage contract at any time, you are a woman who has been teased for your marriage contract, what kind of face will you have to stay in the capital in the future? ”

Not to mention, at least these days in Canglang, Shangguan Qingyue is the first time to see Wei Xueyao so crazy that her voice breaks.

"Linfeng, yes, my girlfriends have come to the door."

Shangguan Qingyue and Wei Linfeng tiptoed to the side of the steps outside the door like thieves, pricking up their ears and listening carefully.

Facing Shangguan Qingyue's ridicule, Wei Linfeng was also very helpless, there was no way, it was all ordered by his grandfather before.

Lan Cuiping is the daughter of Lan Qingyun, the household servant, although the elder Wei Ran is twenty years older than Lan Qingyun, but because the two have the same political views in the court, naturally the two have become friends for the year.

When Wei Linfeng was twelve years old, he saw that Lan Cuiping was about the same age as him, so Wei Ran simply reached an agreement with Lan Qingyun and made a marriage contract for Wei Linfeng and Lan Cuiping.

Now Wei Linfeng and Lan Cuiping have grown up, Wei Linfeng's grandfather is the old man of the court, his father is stationed at the border all the year round, and he has made great contributions, and the emperor appointed Wei Linfeng as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but he is still young, and he can only take office after he is 16 years old.

In other words, this kid can be the youngest squire in the Blue Wolf Country at the age of sixteen, but he can be crowned an official and returned to an official, and he can only take office after getting married, which rule is this?

"Second cousin, otherwise, would you better go in and help me see the situation?" Wei Linfeng scratched his head, and pulled the corners of Shangguan Qingyue's clothes with annoyance.

"What? Your sister wants to eat me alive when she sees me, do you want to harm me? Shangguan Qingyue secretly glanced at the room, and said in a low voice, "Besides, Lan Cuiping is your fiancΓ©e, why don't you dare to see her, she looks very ugly?" ”

"No, no, no." Wei Linfeng hurriedly waved his hand and denied, "No, she's very good-looking, but I don't have that kind of ...... with her Feeling, well, that's it. Wei Linfeng was a little incoherent and didn't know how to describe it.

"He......" is still a cute child after all.

"Ah, you let go of me!" While the siblings were laughing, there was another shout from inside the house.

Quarrel after quarrel, and actually start to move?

Shangguan Qingyue and Wei Linfeng glanced at each other and motioned for him to break in together.

In the room, Wei Xueyao and Lan Cuiping were entangled at the moment. Wei Xueyao grabbed Lan Cuiping's collar with one hand and pulled Lan Cuiping's hair with the other. And Lan Cuiping pressed on Wei Xueyao's body, strangling Wei Xueyao's neck.

"Stop, y'all!"

Where can I take care of so much, Wei Linfeng hurriedly went up to grab Wei Xueyao, while Shangguan Qingyue pulled up Lan Cuiping, who was also out of breath.

"Listen to Linfeng, if you dare to marry this cheap woman in the future, don't call me sister!"
