Chu Cheng was able to do it, and she was in a very happy mood.

She pointed to the pear soup in the food box: "Drink it, it tastes good this time." ”

Lin Boqin opened the lid of the food box and couldn't help but hesitate: "Sweet? ”

"Sweet and delicious."

"I don't like sweets."

"How's that going to work?" Chu Cheng took a sip of the bowl with a satisfied expression, "I like sweetness, you must like it too." ”

Lin Boqin said with a dark face: "It's quite unreasonable. ”

Chu Cheng put the bowl down and said unhappily: "I think you are just worried about the delicious food that Ye Fangxuan made for you." ”

“…… What are you talking about her for? ”

"Lin Boqin, although I have three chapters of the law with you, the well water does not interfere with the river water. But if you want to marry Ye Fangxuan, I don't agree. Maybe the first impression was too bad, Chu Ji couldn't see this person dangling in front of her.

Lin Boqin couldn't figure out Chu Cheng's temper.

He said lightly: "I won't marry Ye Fangxuan, don't worry about this." ”

Chu Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

She clapped her hands, jumped down from the desk, approached Lin Boqin, and asked, "Is there any clue to the recent case of the flower thief?" ”

Lin Boqin frowned and shook his head.

"It looks like I'm at a loss."

"It's not like it's going to be at a loss."

Lin Boqin muttered: "In the morning, Yang La brought back a document from Qin'an County, and someone witnessed the general appearance of the flower thief. ”

"Roughly?"

"Yes." Lin Boqin handed over a portrait, "The murderer has his face covered, and he doesn't know what he looks like." The only thing that could be compared was a bleeding tooth mark on his wrist. Now all counties in Wangzhou are making every effort to search for the suspect with tooth marks on his wrist, and as long as he does not leave Wangzhou, there is hope of solving the case. ”

Chu Cheng glanced at the tooth marks painted on the portrait, which were on the murderer's left hand.

She said, "This tooth mark may have been left by a murdered woman. ”

"That's what I guessed, too."

After Lin Boqin finished saying this, he looked at Chu Cheng and thought, "Li Siniang, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”

Chu Cheng glared at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Boqin said seriously: "If it is not necessary, you don't need to come to the county office often. Qingyuan County Ya did not put the family members across the courtyard, it is a serious place, you come over every three or five times, teach others to look, and when I am the county order, I am good at leisure and bad work, regardless of the livelihood of the people in the territory. ”

"You have so many big truths." Chu Cheng stared at him angrily, "I've seen countless county magistrates in the local area, all of them are looking for fun all day long?" What's more, I just came over to bring you sweet soup, a kind intention, and you still don't appreciate it? ”

Lin Boqin was solemn and argued with her: "It is precisely because there are too many officials like that and there are too few officials like me that Dayuan will decay from the roots." You look at the frontier in the south and the north and the west and the east of the country, all of them are eyeing each other, if the war starts, what is the outcome of the war? Since ancient times, it has been said that I was born in sorrow and died in peace, and this is also the truth for me as an official, do I need to reiterate it? ”

Chu Cheng used to study in Guozijian, and none of the Taifu who taught dared to say this about her, but since she met Lin Boqin, she seems to have been trained often.

And every time I can't find a reason to refute it.

It is an indisputable fact that Dayuan is corrupt. Chu Cheng's father was also worried about this, but internal and external troubles, and disputes between the government and the opposition, made her father have no time to care about other things, and only thought about how to stabilize the imperial power. In order to stabilize his imperial power, he did not hesitate to let his favorite daughter marry Chen Yu'an, but who asked her if she was willing?

Thinking of this, Chu Hui's expression instantly fell lonely.

She lowered her head, a strand of hair hanging down from her forehead, and put it on the long curly eyelashes of her left eye, and she didn't say a word, which was pitiful.

When Lin Boqin saw her like this, he thought that he had said a lot of words.

Looking back, I obviously didn't say anything.

In the end, he was defeated first, and his tone was helpless: "That's it, Fang Cai's tone is too heavy, don't go to the bottom of your heart." ”

Chu Cheng was not angry with him, but it can be seen that he is in an inexplicably better mood.

She tilted her head slightly, not letting Lin Boqin see her smug little expression.

"How could I go to the bottom of my heart? As long as my husband doesn't disappoint me, drink this bowl of pear soup. With that, she handed over the soup bowl.

Lin Boqin hesitated.

Chu Shenliu frowned slightly, and covered her heart with her left hand: "It seems that my husband doesn't want to apologize to me at all." ”

Her eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, looking towards people, her heart was rippling.

Knowing that he was uneasy and kind, but the ghost made the gods worse, Lin Boqin took the soup bowl and drank it all with a frowning brow as if he were drinking medicine. When he realized what he had done, Lin Boqin's face was very bad, and he even thought of a word to describe his ridiculous behavior - Se Ling Zhi was dizzy!

No wonder she was able to marry three husbands in a row......

Lin Boqin's eyes darkened, and he pushed the empty bowl far to the side.

At this moment, Hu Yu came to report outside the door: "My lord, Song Zhihe said that he remembered a clue and wanted to tell him in person." ”

Chu Ji didn't notice Lin Boqin's expression, but said happily: "Hurry up, let's go over and listen together." ”

"You go back first." Lin Boqin's face was calm.

Chu Cheng was confused, the two were talking happily just now, why did this person change his face again in the blink of an eye? She said bluntly: "Lin Boqin, what's the matter with you? Turning a face is faster than turning a book? ”

Lin Boqin frowned and was displeased: "Did you turn around and forget what I said just now?" ”

"What did you just say? Oh, come to think of it, you just said that your tone was too heavy, and apologize to me. ”

“…… Not that! ”

"Then I don't know." Chu Cheng took out her trick again, and dragged Lin Boqin's sleeve to the torture room, "Let's go, don't delay the trial, people's lives are at stake, Lord Lin-"

Hu Yu watched Chu Cheng pull Lin Boqin away, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

This is too mysterious!

They have always adhered to etiquette and religion, and Lord Lin, who has been upright in words and deeds, was dragged away by his wife in broad daylight. And he was obviously very angry, but he endured it patiently and didn't turn his face.

Hu Yu reacted and hurriedly followed.

Lin Boqin had no choice at all with Chu Cheng, who was cheating, and when he arrived at the detention center, he straightened his official uniform, and glared at Chu Cheng again: "You really have no rules at all." ”

Chu Cheng slandered, if she took out the set of rules in the palace, I am afraid that Lin Boqin would be scared to death.

Song Zhihe was even more haggard than last time.

There were two blue under his eyes, and it seemed that he hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, and when he saw Lin Boqin, he hurriedly ran over, almost prostrate and unstable.

"Lord Lin! Lord Lin! I think of one thing and I must tell you! Song Zhihe was very excited, "Although I don't remember the appearance of the coachman, I saw a tooth mark on his left wrist!" By the way, the color of the tooth mark is still very fresh, and it should have been injured not long ago! ”

Chu Ji was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Lin Boqin: "This is the same as what the witnesses in Qin'an County saw!" ”

Lin Boqin was obviously also shocked, he was still calm, and asked, "Why didn't you mention this matter a few days ago?" ”

"I—I was so immersed in the grief of Jiaojiao's death that I was hot-headed, and I really didn't think about it...... After being in the detention center for so long, I tried hard to think about it, and finally thought of this. But I don't know, does this help adults solve crimes? ”

Lin Boqin glanced at him coldly: "Maybe." ”

Chu Cheng couldn't help but feel funny, there is, there is, there is no, there is not, maybe there is an answer to what the hell.

"At least now it's certain that Song Zhihe wasn't the one who killed Du Jiaojiao." Chu Cheng turned his head to look at Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin was unable to convict Song Zhihe, and was routinely detained for up to half a month, after which he was to be released.

What's more, Song Zhihe accurately stated the characteristics of the murderer, and there was no need to detain him again.

Thinking of this, Lin Boqin said: "When the book of God comes back, I will ask him to write a document to release you." It's dark today, and I'm afraid you'll have to grieve for another night. ”

Song Zhihe couldn't help choking: "I don't have anything, as long as I can find the murderer who killed Jiaojiao, even if I live in this detention center for a lifetime, I am willing." ”

Lin Boqin glanced at him and did not speak.

On the way back, Chu Cheng couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "This Song Zhihe has a deep affection for Du Jiaojiao. ”

When Lin Boqin heard this, he didn't show his face, and there seemed to be a dark cloud between his eyebrows.

"Really?"

Chu Cheng heard that his tone was wrong, and looked up at him: "Don't you think?" ”

"I don't know."

Lin Boqin told the truth, he had never loved anyone or anything in his life, and he was ambiguous about emotional matters.

For some reason, he said casually: "You should be very touched, after all, you have married three husbands, and there is always one who has such a deep affection for you." ”

“……？”

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "Lin Boqin, you look polite and gentle, why don't you like to speak?" ”

Lin Boqin was stunned.

Yes, how could he say such a thing, and he would be ashamed of the books of the sages he read.

Lin Boqin paused, frowned, and before he could say sorry, he heard Chu Cheng say the next sentence, "That's right, those three husbands are very affectionate to me, and you are the worst for me!" He turned away in a huff.

***

For several days, Lin Boqin did not return home, and there was no progress in the case of the flower thief.

Chu Cheng had an unpleasant quarrel with Lin Boqin that day, and he didn't bother to go to the county office to find him. It just so happened that Wen Lanxin's husband went to other places to do silk business, and Wen Lanxin was also idle and bored, and the two families lived close to each other, so they stuck together all day long.

On this day, Chu Cheng sat in the backyard of the Deng family, watching Wen Lanxin embroider mandarin ducks.

The afternoon heat has dissipated, and the sun is pouring in from the shade of the trees. Chu Ji propped her elbows on the stone table, and couldn't help but doze off little by little.

Wen Lanxin finished embroidering a flower, bit off the silk thread, and when she saw Chu Hui's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh: "Siniang, if you are sleepy, go to my room and take a nap for a while." ”

Chu Cheng woke up and waved her hand hurriedly: "No, no, it's just that I didn't rest well last night." ”

Wen Lan subconsciously asked, "Is Lord Lin back?" ”

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant, and said with a black line: "No, he has been staying in the yamen all these days." ”

Wen Lan nodded thoughtfully: "I heard from my aunt that my cousin didn't go home either, and it seems that the murder case in Honghu can't be solved for a while." She estimated that she had heard a lot of rumors about flower thieves recently, and in the face of Chu Hui, she reminded her for the first time, "Siniang, you usually don't go out much, and people have been panicking lately." ”

Chu Hui's heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "Presumably, the flower thief didn't dare to come to the county seat to be presumptuous." ”

"That's the best."

Wen Lanxin put down the needle, looking worried.
