"Haven't you been in Kaifeng Mansion recently, and I didn't see anyone when I passed by your house last time, this is because your master went out to do good deeds again and brought you with him." Fang Yuan thought about it, this seemed to be the first time Liu Zhuxue had been alone at home. The rules of the Liu family are big, and Liu Zhiyuan is quite strict with her, and this kind of behavior is not allowed. At most, he made some concessions in the matter of Dingyuan Shitai.
"Cousin, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Liu Zhuxue went straight to the point, otherwise Fang Yuan's slow temperament would not have been on the subject until dark. Gu Changming's side couldn't afford to wait, "Someone in Kaifeng Mansion was killed, and it was a foreigner named Gao Yunge. I wanted to know what the witnesses had to say about the situation, and where the bodies were parked, and if they could let me take a look. ”
Fang Yuan's face turned white with fright: "Cousin, are you going to see a man's corpse?" ”
"Yes, I want to confirm if this Gao Yunge is the person my friend knows." Liu Zhuxue didn't want to waste time at all, and left from Gu Dai and the others, her heart was always hanging, "And how is my father doing recently?" She rushed back from Quyang County, and on the way she figured out that the so-called news that her father was in poor health may have been deliberately brought home.
After being away for many days, Liu Zhuxue was still a little homesick. If her father was willing to relax and discuss because of her running away from home, she didn't want to have a home that she couldn't return to.
Fang Yuan was even more surprised: "Cousin, haven't you ever returned home when you went back to Kaifeng Mansion?" My uncle should be in good health, and I haven't heard any news. But there are some things that are not good, I am in Guozijian, and my uncle is Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion, and there is not much intersection between the two families. Maybe my uncle is really sick, and I can't find out in time. Cousin, you didn't come home but came to me to see the corpse of a man......"
Liu Zhuxue heard Fang Yuanyuan's endless mouth, and thought of Gu Changming's concise style, and became more and more headache: "Cousin, you just say if you can help." "Although he is a nerd, in fact, Fang Yuanyuan's official character is very good, and the relationship between his colleagues is also good, if he agrees, it will not be difficult.
"You wait for me to finish speaking, whether the friend you are talking about is a man or a woman, why didn't he go to see the corpse himself, and asked you to take the risk of a big girl. What kind of friend is this, don't make friends. Fang Yuan had an attitude of wanting to have a good talk with Liu Zhuxue.
Liu Zhuxue was very simple, who wouldn't know how to play the temper of the eldest lady, so she immediately stood up and said: "Since Brother 123 feels embarrassed, I will think of other ways to say goodbye." ”
When everyone walked to the door, Fang Yuan realized that his cousin was angry, and he was still very angry. If he didn't help today, he probably wouldn't be able to see his cousin in the future, so he hurriedly chased after him and stopped him, "Cousin, I didn't say I wouldn't help." I just want to ask clearly, I'm worried that you've been cheated by bad guys. Cousin, cousin. Fang Yuan followed behind Liu Zhuxue in a loud voice, and the voice was getting smaller and smaller.
Liu Zhuxue used the agitation method, otherwise my cousin would probably weigh the pros and cons and think about it for three days and three nights. She learned Gu Changming's usual expression, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, and she seemed to know everything well: "Cousin, then you are willing to help me." ”
"Yes, I'll go out and find a way, you wait for me, you wait and don't go away." Fang Yuan called Qingzhu over and asked her to serve Miss Hao, and asked the cook to make a few more snacks that Miss Biao likes to eat.
Liu Zhuxue suddenly walked around to his side: "You are not allowed to run to tell my father the news that I am back." ”
Fang Yuan looked at her, shook his head and said, "If you don't allow me to say it, I won't say it." ”
"Cousin, be careful." Liu Zhuxue knew too well that he was timid, and it should be very difficult for him to let a man who was as bold as a rabbit go to investigate the homicide and go to see the corpse.
"I'm going to inquire from government connections, there will be no danger, and it's not for me to arrest the real culprit." Fang Yuanyuan told the carriage in the house to come and pick up people and go out, and he reluctantly glanced at Liu Zhuxue before getting into the car.
Liu Zhuxue is a very patient person, and when she was a child, the female red needlework was excellent. It's rare to have such a restless time, and even Qingzhu couldn't help but ask five or six times at this hour: "Miss Biao, the eldest prince has to go to several places when he goes out, and he hasn't come back so soon." If you are tired, there is a soft couch next door, you can lean on it first. Whatever you want to eat, just say it, let the cook do it. ”
"If you can't eat anything, take it all." Liu Zhuxue thought that if Fang Yuanyuan's path worked later, what she would have to face was the corpse of the murdered hands, or it would be better to leave her stomach empty.
"Miss Cousin looks like she has been out of the house once, and everyone is tanned." Qingzhu has been serving by Fang Yuanyuan's side for seven or eight years, and he knows that Liu Zhuxue has a good temper, and he is also kind to the people below, "Gongzi also said once a few days ago, saying that Liufu is still closed to guests, is there a relationship between relatives. ”
"There are some things in my family, and it will be convenient to say them when they are dealt with." Just like the reason why Liu Zhuzhu ran away from home, although Gu Changming guessed one or two, he still couldn't get a peek into everything. There are some things that others don't believe when they say it, even she doesn't believe it.
Qingzhu saw that Liu Zhuxue needed a quiet environment, put away the tea set and saucer on the table, and then closed the door for her lightly.
Fang Mansion and Liu Mansion are very similar in some places, they don't like to use too many maids, and most of the time the master is not at home, quietly. Liu Zhuxue rode in a carriage all the way, and as soon as she entered Kaifeng Mansion, she was surrounded and suppressed by officials, and she ran out of breath both times. At this moment, after making sure that Fang Fu was safe, fatigue slowly rose up and wrapped her in it.
When Fang Yuan came back, Qingzhu was waiting outside the house: "Childe, Miss Cousin seems to be asleep." I'm going to wake her up. ”
"If she wants to sleep, don't disturb her, let her sleep more." Fang Yuan didn't know how to face Liu Zhuxue for a while, he went to find two colleagues and asked what Gao Yunge was, and he was almost dragged to the corner to stuff the sack without covering his mouth. said that the case was taken over by Liu Shaoyin himself, and said that the murderer would be arrested within three days. also said that the murderer was very big, Fang Yuan wanted to ask how big it was, but people refused to say anything.
As for wanting to see the corpse, Fang Yuan didn't dare to ask at all, the other party had already looked at him with a very strange look, what did a prisoner of the National Prison do if he cared so much about the murder case, it was better to go home and study hard.
So Fang Yuan came back in a gray way, and he didn't know how to explain the ins and outs to his cousin. He heard Qingzhu say that his cousin was asleep, and he wished he could sleep until tomorrow. Thinking about it, if my uncle knew that he was harboring his cousin, would he be furious. He has been in awe of his uncle since he was a child, and growing up is no exception.
Where can Liu Zhuxue really fall asleep, but she closed her eyes and recuperated her mind and turned around the Emei faction's mental method in her body a few times, and the unique mental method originally had the effect of carefully nourishing her mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she heard Fang Yuan and Qingzhu talking in a whisper, and she didn't escape her ears at all.
She got up slowly, straightened her hair, smoothed her skirt and walked out to open the door: "Cousin, didn't you hear anything?" ”
If he had gotten the exact news, Fang Yuan would not have such a depressed expression: "Cousin, I only heard that the murderer has a very big background, and his martial arts are very good, and he can't catch people if he sends them out." His gaze fell, looking at Liu Zhuxue's snow-melting sword, and then thinking of the details that she had asked him to help hide if she didn't return home. There were some things that he really didn't dare to say.
"What about the corpse, can't you see it too?" Liu Zhuxue still firmly remembered the characteristics of Gao Yunge that Gu Changming told her, as long as she looked at it, she could determine a lot of truths.
"I can't ask anymore, if I ask again, I'll be arrested." Fang Yuan was in a hurry, and his courage also increased, and he took a big step forward and directly grabbed Liu Zhuxue's wrist, "Cousin, you tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you. You have nothing to do with that murderer either. ”
Liu Zhuxue didn't think about it, and said according to his words: "I have nothing to do with the murderer, I was just entrusted by someone to inquire." Gu Changming is definitely not a murderer, so she doesn't know the real murderer at all.
"What about the person you inquire, could it be a bad person?" Fang Yuan didn't notice that he was still holding his cousin's hand, but the soft and pink skin in his palm was the most real existence.
Liu Zhuxue inadvertently pulled out her wrist, Fang Yuan was probably anxious and in a hurry, her palms were sweaty, and when she grabbed her wrist, it was also wet and very uncomfortable.
"No, the man has been with me all the time, and he's a very nice person." Liu Zhuxue saw that Fang Yuan couldn't ask anything, so she got up and said goodbye, she couldn't waste too much time.
Fang Yuan was shocked by what she said just now, she had been with her all the time, who that person would be! Liu Zhuxue walked out, and his legs seemed to be uncontrollable, and he also walked out.
"Cousin, don't send it, I'll go back in a few days. Just hide it for me. Liu Zhuxue shook her head with a smile when she saw her soul not giving up. Thinking too well about the result in front of Gu Dai and the others, my cousin has done his best, a scholar should not expect to be able to track down a homicide, and the other party seems to be too difficult.
"Cousin." Fang Yuan saw Liu Zhuxue walking out of the courtyard gate, and hurriedly called out to her, "No matter what conflicts there are between you and your uncle, if you really want to investigate this case, it is more appropriate to go back and ask your uncle." The father and daughter have no overnight feuds, and although the uncle has a straightforward and strict personality, he has always been very good to you. ”
Liu Zhuxue turned around and smiled at Fang Yuanyanran, "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I'll think about it again." The delicate fingers of spring onions crossed the lips and made a silent motion, "Remember to keep it a secret for me." ”
On the way back, Liu Zhuxue was also very cautious and cautious, paying attention to whether there was a tail behind her all the way. If my father only had this means, how could he sit firmly in the official position of Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion?
Just before Liu Zhuxue returned to Hu Wenxi's courtyard, she didn't wait for her to raise her hand and knock on the door. The courtyard door quickly opened, and a hand reached out and dragged her whole body in.
