I haven't figured out the reason why Boya Zhai hurriedly changed hands to Xie Yingmai back then, but the person who was ordered to find Li Yanjing came back with a solemn face, and it was Ji Rong who went to "please" Li Yanjing, he arched his hand when he arrived at Zhuo Zhaojie, and without waiting for Xie Yingmai to think about whether he needed to avoid it, he couldn't wait to speak: "The son of the world, the 'woman', everyone Li is gone!" ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie and Xie Yingmai were stunned when they heard this!

Zhuo Zhaojie asked in surprise: "Why can't you see the law?" ”

Ji Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Now even the people in the Li Mansion can't tell where the Li family has gone, and the posts sent to the Li Mansion to invite the Li family in the past few days have been piled up two or three inches high." The people up and down Li Mansion are also anxious, and they plan to report to the official if they don't see Li in two days! ”

Xie Yingmai was surprised: "So everyone Li hasn't seen anyone for a few days?" Haven't you reported it yet? ”

"Xie Niangzi doesn't know." Ji Rong explained, "I heard from the people in the Li Mansion that the Li family has never married a wife so far...... He was originally from a teaching workshop, although he left his nationality after becoming famous. Now pointing to the pipa skills of many little ladies in Chang'an City, the prince's royal banquet can also be in and out, but the serious prince's family refuses to marry the little lady to him, and the idle lady Li everyone can't look down on it. So it has dragged on until now, and the Li family lives alone in the end. But Li everyone...... Listening to the tone of those subordinates, there are also a few people who are particularly 'friendly' in the checks all over Chang'an City...... Therefore, the subordinates suspected that the Li family was delayed with these people because of the matter, and they were afraid that if they reported to the official, they would lose the face of the Li family. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie and Xie Yingmai glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Didn't the next person go to those places to find it?" ”

Ji Rong said with some embarrassment: "Listen to those subordinates...... Among the people who are 'friendly' with the Li family, there seem to be a few leaders...... They are all guests of the princes and nobles, and in the end, the background of the Li family is placed there, and they are afraid of causing trouble, so they ...... Who are they, Li and everyone have never told the people in the house. Even the old housekeeper who has been with Li for more than ten years doesn't know. ”

…… Although Li Yanjing is a pipa national player, in the eyes of serious nobles, he is just a lowly trickster who can play the pipa.

The head of the line in the hook column, that is how many years of bustard's mother's 'fine' heart has been trained, and it has been selected layer by layer to support the field. Although he is in a cheap place, he will be more pretentious than the other - otherwise where does the value come from? These people are the most particular about the 'door' court, and they are extremely reserved. Since he has reached the level of a prince, when he comes to Li Yanjing, even if he comes and goes, he is in the name of asking for advice on the pipa - it is also an open and honest consultation, so as not to let the rumors spread.

Otherwise, the benefactors holding them knew that they had smashed out of the gold mountains and silver seas, but there was a person whose identity was not as good as their own among the guests who entered the curtain, and they couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even those with a bad temper hit Li Yanjing's 'door' directly. Originally, the place of the Teaching Workshop Division relied on the dignitaries to eat, and more things were better than less - anyway, they kept it from people in private, and few people would be so concerned about a fireworks' and 'girl' that they tried their best to find out if any of the people she was dealing with had insulted their identity.

Zhuo Zhaojie and Xie Yingmai frowned when they heard this, and said, "What about the other side?" ”

Ji Rong said embarrassedly: "The little ones on the side can't inquire." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pondered for a moment and ordered: "You go again, go to my fifth sister, tell her about the matter, and ask for news from Uncle Juyang." ”

"Taichang Siqing?" Xie Yingmai followed Chief Qu, and now he has a general understanding of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Zhuo Zhaoqiong and Zhuo Zhaojie are sisters-in-law, and they are also Ruan Yunshu's cousins, so of course, these relatives can't be 'wrong'. This will Xie Yingmai nodded, "If Li Yanjing is really hiding in the hook fence, which hook fence he often goes to, others don't know, Taichang Siqing may have some news." ”

Taichang Siqing is directly under the jurisdiction of the teaching workshop, and the movement in the workshop, Ju Yangbo, the chief official, is always a little measured.

Juyang Bofu is in Changmingfang, the boundary of the extreme south, and it is almost close to the Anbei 'gate', but Xingningfang is in the northeast of the city. Even if Ji Rong goes on horseback, it will be convenient to come and go, and when he comes and goes, it will definitely be a matter of late afternoon.

Xie Yingmai is worried that Wu's is pregnant again, and wants to go back to take care of it, but she is afraid that there will be something unclean about taking over Boya Zhai, even if Boya Zhai is no longer in her hands, she is afraid that one day the incident will happen. I wanted to go back and ask Manager Qu as soon as possible, so after asking Ji Rong, I chatted casually, excused Zhuo Zhaojie's stay, and left.

After she left, Zhuo Zhaojie had no choice but to discuss with Ning Shaobi: "The fourteenth aunt really has something to say, she only came yesterday, and Li Yanjing had an accident today...... No, since I haven't seen Li Yanjing for a few days, something may have happened a few days earlier. It's really strange, how did the fourteenth aunt find out? What did she find? ”

Ning Shaobi snorted slightly, and said, "Just now, Su Bo came here and said something he inquired about the Qin Wangfu. ”

Although Zhuo Zhaojie was explained by Ning Shaobi, he hated Su Shi as much as Ning Shaobi when he was injured, he still frowned slightly when he heard this, and then continued to ask: "What is it?" ”

"The Sixteen Princes' Mansion is close to the city wall like our Xingning Fang, and there is the Longshou Canal outside." Ning Shaobi first talked about the topography of the two squares, "We have a stream of water from the Longshou Canal in Xingning Fang, and the water on my grandmother's side and our house is all living water, which is thanks to this Longshou Canal." However, it is not that there is no water source in the house of the Sixteen Kings, it is just a culvert. ”

"About five days ago, the Qin Wangfu repaired a 'flower' garden, as if the pond mud had been paid off. It's just that the craftsmen who went to work in the house disappeared inexplicably. Ning Shaobi pointed to the tea on the table, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly poured a light and handed it to him, Ning Shaobi took a sip and continued, "Li Yanjing...... I guess it's in Longshou Canal! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was dumbfounded and said, "You mean ......?"

"I'm afraid that something close to him rushed into the Qin Wangfu, so that the Qin Wangfu looked at the clues. After all, Li Yanjing is still quite famous in Chang'an, and his belongings are inevitably familiar to some people - speaking of which, the fourteenth aunt also learned pipa from him. Ning Shaobi 'rubbed' her eyebrows, handed the tea bowl back to Zhuo Zhaojie, and said calmly, "The fourteenth aunt probably thinks that sealing the craftsman's mouth may not be able to leak a drop of water, and in turn dragging the Qin Wangfu into the water, Suo 'sex' came over to hint at us first." ”

"But why did she come looking for us?" Zhuo Zhaojie said incredulously, "Li Yanjing...... This person's disciple is full of Chang'an, and he didn't confiscate me back then! Speaking of which, we have nothing to do with him, why does the Fourteenth Aunt want to talk about this matter like this? ”

Ning Shaobi rubbed her eyebrows for a moment, and suddenly said: "Theoretically speaking, how did the Xie family take down Boya Zhai, there shouldn't be many people who know and pay attention to this matter." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Yes, but what I suspect is why the fourteenth aunt came to imply that our Li Yanjing was killed?" Whether this person was killed or not, it doesn't seem to have much to do with us, right? ”

"Even if it has something to do with us, there's no need to mention Xie again—unless she means that Xie can't get out of the relationship, or she wants to remind Xie more." Ning Shaobi said calmly, "After all, according to you, the topic of the day was led from Li Yanjing to the Xie family. Originally, how could the fourteenth aunt know such a person as Xie? ”

"In that case...... Zhuo Zhaojie frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly his face changed, and said, "What do you mean...... Chen Luojia?! ”

Ning Shaobi nodded: "It has something to do with Li Yanjing and the Xie family, and you must personally hint at us - and repeatedly mentioned the pipa, wasn't it because you were involved in Chen Luojia's incident in the first place because you learned the pipa from the Xie family?" ”

"Chen Luojia didn't die two years ago! She...... Could it be that Li Yanjing hid her? Zhuo Zhaojie covered his mouth and whispered, "This 'female' thief...... Who the hell is she? It's just that if he had been protected by Li Yanjing and escaped the catastrophe at that time, with Chen Luojia's scheming city and martial arts, he shouldn't have let Li Yanjing die like this! ”

"The 'female' thief and the 'Gate' senior brother don't care if they die in front of their eyes, let alone Li Yanjing?" Ning Shaobi shook her head and said, "I've already asked Su Bo to track it down." You have been paying attention to the 'door' in the past few days, and there are lazy 'waiters' who are beating and knocking more. ”

Zhuo Zhao nodded: "I know that the 'female' thief is 'insidious'...... I will ask Aunt Mao to recognize all the people in the backyard! ”

Ning Shaobi's speculation was confirmed the next day - in the afternoon of the next day, the streets and alleys of Chang'an were spread, and the Taoist Li Yanpolice was found floating in the Longshou Canal outside the city, and the body was decomposed, according to the current climate, how could it be five or six days. If it weren't for the fact that Li Yanjing had a few early scars on his arms, and the things he had with him were recognized by the old housekeeper who had followed him for more than ten years, no one would be able to associate the unrecognizable corpse with the elegant Li Yanjing before his death.

In the evening of the same day, in the name of sending some nourishing 'medicine' products, the Qin Wangfu pressed a 'jade' wrench in the dim sum box.

Ning Shaobi stared at the wrench for a moment, and said lightly: "It seems that this is a year when the sage summoned Li Yanjing to perform under the Dan Pier, and it was specially given to him." Although the wrench finger is not priceless, because it is a gift from the emperor, Li Yanjing has never left since then. It should be that Li Yanjing fell into the water while struggling, but the water was brought into the 'flower' garden of the Qin Wangfu, and was found just when he was cleaning up the pond mud. ”

After a pause, he said again, "But things may not be so coincidental, Li Yanjing died five or six days ago, and the Qin Wangfu cleaned up the 'flower' garden five days ago." If the Qin Wangfu knew something else or ran into the scene of Li Yanjing's death, but didn't want to be known, it was not impossible to deliberately seize Chenguang and clean up the 'flower' garden as a cover-up. After all, now is the time for the lotus leaves in the pond to roll up, who didn't Qingtang pick the late autumn and cold winter, or before the "sex" to open the "spring", and toss it at the end of the "spring" and the beginning of summer? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "Could it be that they saw Chen Luojia?" But don't you want to offend the prince and the king of Yanchang? ”

"Quite possibly." Ning Shaobi groaned and said, "In fact, Chen Luojia disappeared two years ago, and the queen mother once personally asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for someone. However, the prince insisted that Chen Luojia had disappeared...... The queen mother was very angry about this, although not many people knew about this matter, but Concubine Zhou expected to have heard the rumors. Even if the Qin Wangfu saw Chen Luojia in person, they really didn't dare to report it like this, otherwise they would offend His Royal Highness the Prince, and they would not have a good time in the future. ”

"So what do we do?" Zhuo Zhaojie held his cheeks, "It is said that it should be reported to the queen mother to know, and this scourge will be removed from the cleanest." But in doing so, Niangniang had to find out the source of the news, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would know, and he would definitely anger the Qin Palace. The fourteenth aunt specially sent this wrench, isn't it okay to drag them into the water like this? ”

Ning Shaobi said with a smile: "It's not easy for us to drag them into the water!" Although this wrench was taken out of the dim sum box sent by King Qin's mansion, but now that it has been taken out, it will not agree if you ask it...... You said that it was sent by the fourteenth aunt, if the fourteenth aunt doesn't recognize it, what can we do? ”

“…… So what now? ”

Ning Shaobi pondered for a moment, and said: "Let Su Bo check first, it is impossible for the saint and the queen mother not to pay attention, although two years have passed, but Chen Luojia did not find out back then, but a few official daughters have taken the crime, and they have always fallen into the face of the queen's mother, this matter has been forgotten in the market, and the mother may not forget." ”
