"Because...... I need to search for materials for Hiromeshi. As soon as this remark came out, I couldn't help but praise my wit, "Without some exciting current affairs news, the newspaper will have no selling point, and without a selling point, there will be no money to make." ”

This is also a fact, girl, I followed the fat man and they went out for more than a month, "Guangmu Zhi" under the joint care of Leng Xiaoshu and Little Crab, the whole article is full of all kinds of stories of talented and beautiful women who sprinkle dog blood, the heroines are all similar to A Nuan, and the male protagonists are either witty scholars, or smart and brave little Zhengtai, very vulgar.

It's selling pretty well.

"That being the case," Pan Gongzi said, "Do you need me to help you get in touch with Ying Tianfu?" ”

Although I don't have a good impression of Tianfu, girl, this evil and haunted case is too terrifying, beyond the scope of my independent investigation, it is easy to get some news from Ying Tianfu, "Okay, good, then thank you Mr. Pan." ”

He raised his hand with a smile in his eyes and gave me another slap: "Between you and me, what else do you want to talk about?" The doting in his eyes was unmistakable.

I blushed instantly, but a trace of helplessness crossed my heart.

I have already seen clearly Mr. Pan's affection for me; I was also so eager to confirm whether Pan Gongzi was the Yunqi that crossed over.

But now, I can only bury this question in my heart with the deep affection that Mr. Pan mistakenly paid.

I don't want to be a woman who pedals two boats.

I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, carefully avoiding this ambiguous complex, and changed the topic: "The matter of the poisoning of the Marquis of Ping'an, can His Highness find out the culprit?" ”

Pan Gongzi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not yet." ”

I expressed the worry that had lingered in my heart for a long time: "I always feel that there is a mole around His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"How so?"

"You see, in the case of Qingli's death, I pretended to be a maid Chun Tao before I entered the city, and I was intercepted and killed by the dead soldiers under the second prince; In the case of the 3,000 battalions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found evidence and has not yet made a move, and the second prince has rushed to His Majesty to plead guilty and choose himself cleanly. ”

I tapped the teacup with my fingertips, "In the case of the Gaoyou Lake bandits, I instinctively took the evidence of the second prince's guilt to the truth, but the key witness, Ping'anhou, was poisoned to death on our boat, which once again allowed the second prince to escape. Linking these kinds of clues can only show that the prince has the eyeliner of the second prince by his side. ”

Hearing this, Pan Gongzi's face changed, and he asked solemnly: "So, who does Miss Leng think is this eyeliner?" ”

"I don't know!" This is also where I am confused, the fat man has always been cautious, and the maids and servants and guards around him are all people who have known him for many years, could it be that one of them was bewitched by the second prince and abandoned the light and turned to the dark?

Pan Gongzi pondered for a while: "This matter ...... I will remind His Highness to have a good look. ”

Mr. Pan can be described as a model of keeping his word, and two days later, a man dressed up as a catcher came to visit.

At that time, the girl was covering my face with a book of vulgar words, lying on the bamboo bench in the courtyard to enjoy my nap time, and was awakened by the man's inquiry to find "Leng Dagongzi", and secretly settled down, pretending to be shy and covering half of his face in the book, pinching his throat and saying: "The official is looking for my eldest brother, you wait a minute, I will call him." ”

Then he twisted his waist and walked into the house in a variety of ways, and changed into men's clothes at a lightning speed.

"I don't know what the official is looking for me?"

The man clasped his fists at me and said, "In Xiaying, Li Lei, the head of Tianfu, was recommended by the little prince, saying that the eldest son Leng was good at solving strange cases, and he came to the door to ask for advice." ”

Li lei? This name is very familiar, "Mrs. Zun's surname is Han?" ”

I asked casually, and then I secretly despised myself: Leng Xinyue, are you stupid or didn't wake up?

Unexpectedly, Li Lei's eyes immediately widened: "Yes! My lady's surname is indeed Han! After that, he took a step back in awe, looked me up and down carefully, and sighed: "No wonder the little prince said that the prince has a talent that penetrates the heavens and the earth, and he is deeply appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

I can only say yes to my shit luck.

"Dare to ask Li Zhutou, what is the progress of the case of the female ghost of Qinhuaihe?"

On the way to Ying Tianfu, I couldn't wait to ask.

"Let's let Leng Gongzi know first that there is not only one female ghost on the bank of the Qinhuai River on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but two, and the other was found in the dense forest on the other side of the river, and the body of a young man was also found at the same time, which was attacked and killed by the female ghost."

Obviously, Li Lei thought that I didn't know about the red basket, so I pushed the boat down the river, pretending to be surprised: "There are two? ”

"Yes, these two daughters are the kabuki in the hairpin hall on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the name of the flower boat is called Luqi, and the name of the forest is called Hongqi. I sent someone to investigate the origin of the two daughters, and found that they were originally a pair of cousins, formerly known as Fang Ruoyi and Fang Ruolan.

Fang Ruoyi, that is, the red basket, his father was originally an official of the Ministry of Rites, a year ago he was impeached by the supervision of the imperial history for taking bribes, and was sentenced to exile in northern Xinjiang, and his family was not classified as a lowly citizen, his daughter Fang Ruoyi, and his niece Fang Ruolan, who grew up in his parents, was sent to the Department of Teaching Workshop, and then sold to the hairpin hall. ”

It turned out that she was the daughter of an official family, no wonder she was able to keep one party innocent and not sell her body, "Regarding why these sisters went crazy on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhutou can find out the reason?" ”

"The green qi fell from the flower boat, and the body floated away with the river, and we couldn't find it. However, the corpse of the red basket was brought back by us, and the servants in the house carefully examined it, and there was no sign of poisoning......" Li Lei scratched his head with some embarrassment, "It is rumored in the market that he was possessed by evil spirits, but it is really very similar." ”

I rolled my eyes secretly, and had to continue asking, "What about the man who was killed, can he be identified?" ”

"Oh, that man's surname is Jin, he is a scholar, and he lives in Hui'an Fang. I went to his house to investigate, but I found out a secret. Li Lei's big copper bell-like eyes were burning with gossip light, "This Jin scholar is good with the dead red basket, and he also saved money in every possible way, wanting to redeem himself for the red basket!" ”

"Oh......" I feel a little disdainful about Li Lei being such a gossip as a head catcher, but I also figured out one thing from it: On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the reason why Jin Shusheng and Hongluo appeared in that forest was probably the same as me and Qin Lang, who went on a date.

The clinker was extremely happy and sad, the pink beauty suddenly went crazy and became a pink female ghost, Jin Shusheng, who had no power to restrain the chicken, was frightened, and was bitten on the neck by the red basket, and happened to bite off the major artery in the neck, and died of excessive blood loss, which is really sad.

It's just that why the green red basket went crazy is still unknown.

While thinking to myself, I followed Li Lei to Yingtianfu, but before I stepped into the door of the mansion, I saw a catcher rushing out of the door in a hurry: "Li catcher!" I'm looking for you! Something happened again! ”

Li Lei stared at him: "What's wrong?" ”

"Another crazy female ghost!"

Luofu, located on Taiping Street, is very grand because the Luo family has two generations of officials for father and son.

It's just that at this time, the gate of Luofu was closed, and it was as silent as death, and only a few cries and whimpering were heard occasionally from the deep courtyard, which looked particularly terrifying.

Li Lei knocked on the door of the mansion to reveal the identity of Ying Tianfu, and immediately saw a middle-aged woman in disheveled clothes and messy green silk, staggering out of the main hall with the support of the housekeeper-like person. ”

Li Lei and I looked at each other: Didn't you say a female ghost? How did you become a master?

Seeing that Mrs. Luo's mood was really broken, we had to soothe her with kind words and ask her to take her back to rest first, and the housekeeper of Luofu took us to investigate the scene.

"There are also female ghosts, and they are the fifth aunt of our family."

"It's the fifth aunt who is crazy, how can the master be gone?" Li Lei was puzzled.

The housekeeper sighed and made a sad gesture: "Master, I was scared to death by the fifth aunt." ”

Li Lei and I looked at each other unconsciously, "Tell me what happened in detail." ”

The housekeeper began his indescribable narration: "Yesterday, our eldest lady and aunt came back from Hangzhou to visit relatives, and the lord was very happy, so he ordered me to set up a family banquet and invited a small troupe to help the fun. Originally, the family was lively and beautiful, clinker, and the fifth aunt at the dinner party suddenly went crazy, chasing people all over the yard like crazy, and scared a large family......"

I interrupted: "Can you recall the details of the fifth aunt before and after she went crazy, did she come into contact with any special people, or did anything special happen?" ”

The housekeeper frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "No...... The fifth aunt is the most quiet on weekdays, and she rarely speaks in Shenjujian, and she sat under the lord and his wife at the family banquet last night, and she didn't make much noise when she listened to the play, so I didn't pay much attention to her at all. Later...... "The butler's eyes lit up," "Oh, there was a little mistake at the family banquet, a clumsy maid accidentally knocked over the lantern and ignited the vine next to it, so I quickly called someone to extinguish it."

I was teaching the stupid girl a lesson, and suddenly I heard a scream at the banquet, and when I looked back at the fifth aunt, her eyes were red and her face was hideous, and she looked like a ghost. ”

Family feasts, lanterns, fire ...... I silently diverged and related these seemingly unrelated events in my heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, there was no result, so I continued to ask: "What about your old man, Lord Luo, was attacked by the fifth aunt?" ”

"Not really." Speaking of his own master, the housekeeper first reddened his eyes, "The fifth aunt here is in a situation, and she first bites the fourth aunt sitting next to her, and the family over there quickly protects the lord and his wife, and the lord also tells the fifth aunt to catch but don't hurt her."
