Early in the morning, Brother Lian woke up on time, the cold showed no signs of relief, she got up and poured a large glass of water into her stomach, and went out to let Da Hei call Guan Tongsheng to come over for breakfast.

Lian Li came over with cold medicine to urge her to drink it, and when he saw Guan Tongsheng coming in, he asked him with a smile if he also drank a bowl to prevent it first, and Lian Di was speechless.

The breakfast was very light, Guan Tongsheng drank white porridge with a bitter face, and his brother asked him, "Did you go to Ye Yanshan last night?"

"Go, he did stay in the original inn, but the shopkeeper said that he went out, I waited for him for a long time last night, and I couldn't come back first. ”

Brother Lian sighed, this guy is really desperate, he always runs out in the middle of the night, don't find out the truth, it's bad if he is discovered by the minister first.

After breakfast, Brother Lian and Guan Tongsheng went out and went around to the Ping'an Inn, the young man said that Ye Yanshan had not come back all night, and the two were even more worried. When I arrived at the Criminal Department, I sat down and just thought about reasoning, when Lord Yin Liang of Jingzhao Mansion hurriedly ran in.

"Guan Langzhong, a vicious murder occurred in Good Neighbor County. ”

Guan Tongsheng said strangely: "Why did you tell me about the death case in the neighbor county?"

"The deceased was stabbed four times, and the fatal wound was also in the neck, exactly the same as Zhang Mao's, and two copper coins were left at the scene. ”

"Who died?"

"It's a tall and thin man, not a native of Good Neighbor County, and his neighbors don't know him. ”

When Brother Lian heard that he was thin and tall, he jumped up and patted Guan Tongsheng's shoulder, "Let's go, go to Good Neighbor County." ”

Lian Di and Guan Tongsheng galloped all the way, because the road was not very good, they didn't arrive until noon, and the catcher from the neighbor county took the two to a house, and the catcher quickly walked to the door and pointed inside, saying: "The dead are inside, and the villain won't go in, it's too bloody." ”

The two pushed open the courtyard gate, a simple small courtyard, the ground was stained with blood, and there were many messy footprints. Look at this blood volume, it is the total blood volume of an adult. Brother Lian saw that the door of the house was open, and walked straight in, and in the middle of the room, two tables of eight immortals were put together, and there was a person lying on it, mixed with blood, his legs were too long and he was on the back of the Taishi's chair next to him, his face was facing the wall, and he was motionless.

Brother Lian suddenly felt a little weak, how could the pale blue muslin robe be so familiar, she rushed over in a few steps, and reached out to break the corpse's face.

Guan Tongsheng came over to see him and exclaimed, "Brother Ye!"

Brother Lian was blindfolded, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and shook wildly, "Ye Yanshan, why are you here? How can you die? You get up!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" asked a man from the room, wearing a mask, pointing at the two.

Guan Tongsheng hurriedly introduced himself, and the man said: "The corpse is in this room, not the one on the table." ”

When Brother Lian heard this, he turned his head to look at Ye Yanshan, saw him open his eyes in a daze, and said, "It's so noisy." ”

Brother Lian turned from sadness to joy, and he was angry for a while, grabbed his clothes and shouted: "You have nothing to sleep here, and you are still covered in blood, is it scary and fun?"

Ye Yanshan obviously didn't wake up, pushed Brother Lian, and said with a cloudy nose: "I didn't sleep last night, let me sleep for a while." ”

Guan Tongsheng said: "You also have a cold?"

Ye Yanshan sighed, turned over, curled up on the table and closed his eyes again. Brother Lian remembered that she was huddled with him the night before, so close, although her cold symptoms had not yet been revealed at that time, but the spread of the cold virus did not follow the routine.

She pulled Guan Tongsheng into the next room, a slender male corpse was stripped naked and placed on the floor in the room, with a white cloth covering his waist, and there were many bruises on the corpse's body, two wounds on the front chest and one on the neck, the position was almost the same as Zhang Mao's wound, and it was estimated that there was another one on the back.

The person wearing the mask just now was a servant of Jingzhao Mansion, and Brother Lian asked him, "How did the person die?"

"The deceased was beaten and tortured by a hard object before his death, and the murderer was very familiar with the structure of the human body, so he picked on the vulnerable parts and attacked, and the neighbors said that the screams lasted for a pillar of incense. Probably because of enough torture, he cut the deceased four times, fatally wounded in the neck, just cut the blood vessels in the neck, but did not cut it, and then hung the person upside down on a tree in the courtyard, bleeding to death. ”

Guan Tongsheng smacked his tongue and said, "What kind of hatred and what kind of grudge?

"This person is Jiang Zhi. Ye Yanshan didn't know when he stood by the door, and said in a dull nasal voice of a patient with a severe cold, "This is the hiding place that Zhang Mao found for himself, but he didn't expect that he didn't use it, Jiang Zhi used it, but he still didn't hide it, and he was found." ”

Brother Lian asked, "Why are you here?"

The two cold patients subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and found that they were wearing masks, so they quickly took one for Guan Tongsheng and motioned him to put it on.

Ye Yanshan said: "I caught Li Twelve yesterday afternoon, he eavesdropped on every conversation between Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhi, and I used some means to get him to tell me everything. Jiang Zhi hid, I also came to try my luck, came overnight, but I got lost on the road, and the person was not very comfortable, when I arrived, the person was already hanging from the tree, dead, and the copper coin was there. He pointed to the coffee table, where two copper coins were placed side by side like last time.

"How do you know that he is Jiang Zhi?"

Ye Yanshan walked to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet, took out an identity document from a package, and took it from his younger brother, and saw that it read: Jiang Zhi, the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion in the Ministry of Works.

This man's appearance is also consistent with Li Twelve's description. ”

"What else did Li Twelve say?"

Ye Yanshan said secretly: "A lot. ”

Brother Lian had to admire in his heart, he found more than her.

"I know the county man of Good Neighbor County, and after discovering these two copper coins, I asked him to hurry up and inform Lord Liang, and let Lord Liang tell you that the copper coin hero committed the crime again. ”

Brother Lian asked, "What is your conclusion after the autopsy?"

"The same murder weapon, the same fatal wounds, the same method of killing, and the same size of footprints, it is determined that the same murderer committed it. Ye Yanshan walked to the corpse, looked at the corpse and said, "It's just that this time it's not five knives, but four knives, I can't be sure what these two numbers mean." ”

Brother Lian looked at his tall back, this is a god-like teammate, she turned her head to Guan Tongsheng and said, "Let the Good Neighbor County Ya find someone to transport the body back to Jingzhao Mansion, and let someone from Jiang Mansion confirm the body." ”

"Okay," Guan Tongsheng said, "what are we going to do next?"

She turned her head to look at Ye Yanshan, "Listen to Brother Ye's arrangement for what to do next." ”

Qi Yeshan turned his head to meet her bright eyes, the two looked at each other and smiled, relieving the mustard in their hearts, "Go back to Beijing first, and we will discuss it slowly." ”

Brother Lian looked at him and smiled, and felt that he was two points more handsome, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

The three of them had lunch in Good Neighbor County, found a piece of clothing for Ye Yanshan, changed the bloody clothes on their bodies, and rode back to the capital.

Ye Yanshan began to doze off after sitting on the horse for a while, his body swayed forward and backward, and he was afraid that Brother Lian would fall off the horse. She stretched out her finger to poke him awake, and he forced himself to open his eyes, and after a while he closed his eyes again, and his head was pecking at the rice little by little.

Brother Lian woke him up again, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at her pitifully, she sighed, jumped on his horse, sat down in front of him, and said to him, "You can sleep peacefully by me." ”

Ye Yanshan unceremoniously put his chin on her shoulder, rubbed it, found the most comfortable place, stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around her waist, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye, and Brother Lian felt that the big head on his shoulder was instantly a little heavier.

He was really tired, and Brother Lian thought a little distressed, but no matter how distressed he was, he didn't forget to ask Guan Tongsheng for a handkerchief to put on his chin, who knows if a person with a cold will drool and snot when he falls asleep, rubbing her body.

Walking slowly all the way, it was nearly evening when they arrived in the capital, until the three of them entered the Xinningbo Mansion, Ye Yanshan was still asleep, and even his brother asked Da Hei to carry him directly to the courtyard where he lived before, "Throw him on the bed and let him sleep." Before walking out of the courtyard gate, he turned around and shouted at the top of his voice: "Cover him with the quilt!"

Even the Li family saw the two come back so closely, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, although Ye Yanshan is just a small county, but he is also an official who eats the emperor's grain, and he is also tall and handsome, knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and her family Atie looks quite compatible, Daxing County is 40 kilometers away from the capital, and the distance is not far and not close.

The more Li thought about it, the more excited he became, but he didn't know if this son-in-law was already married. She instructed Hang'er to call Brother Lian and Guan Tongsheng to her courtyard, stared at Brother Lian drinking medicine, set up dinner, and watched the two young people eat sweetly, and her heart was happy.

"Brother, Ye Gongzi doesn't know if he's awake, his mother has prepared food for him, and you can send it to him later." ”

"He couldn't wake up for a while, so I didn't care about him. ”

"How can he not care? He came out to do things, he was tired and sick, if his mother knew, wouldn't she be distressed to death?"

"He's a big man, not so arrogant. ”

"That'...... Did his family tell him about his family?"

Brother Lian glanced at Lian Li, this turn was too obvious, "How do I know?"

"I haven't said kiss," Guan Tongsheng answered, "He said it last time." ”

Lian Di said: "I haven't said kiss, where did that sachet come from? There must be a woman who likes him, since he has received someone else's sachet, even if he has not decided to marry, he must have some good impression of that woman." ”

Lian Li said: "As long as the family is not hired, nothing else can be done." It's normal for a big man to be adored and have two or three confidantes. ”

Guan Tongsheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, Qingluo also gave me a sachet, I have no personal feelings for her, I only love the song she sings, it is really beautiful." ”

Lian Li said: "That's it, you have nothing to ask clearly, he is a good match for your fellow sister." ”

Brother Lian choked on a mouthful of soup and coughed violently.

Guan Tongsheng was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Fifth Miss is back?"

Even Li Shi hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that her relatives have to hurry up to tell her that she can take her back to marry, and she is not young." ”

Guan Tongsheng said: "Madame don't have to be anxious, I am willing to marry Miss Five, just wait for Miss Five to nod, I will ask my mother to find a matchmaker to propose marriage." ”

Even the Li family was overjoyed when they heard it, they didn't expect her family Arti to have such good marriage luck, whether it was Ye Chengshan or Guan Tongsheng, they were all top candidates. Guan Tongsheng's family is wealthy, and he is a champion again, and now he has a good future in front of him. Ah, this comparison, Guan Gongzi is better than Ye Gongzi.

She turned her head to look at Brother Lian, squeezed her eyes, coughed and said, "Brother, your sister's family affairs, you can quickly help her book it." ”

Brother Lian calmed his cough, and saw Guan Tongsheng's face full of joy, obviously seeing Lian Li's love for him, he was quite proud. For Guan Tongsheng, it is really difficult for her to give birth to love, and she can't help but want to hit him.

Just thinking that Brother Wen walked in after Da Hei and asked a few people to say goodbye, Brother Wen said to Guan Tongsheng: "Young master, the old lady has a sudden heart attack, and the master asked you to go back to serve the illness." ”

Guan Tongsheng was taken aback when he heard this, and his brother got up and said, "Let's go, I'll send you." ”

The two walked towards the gate, and Guan Tongsheng said to Brother Lian: "Your mother likes me very much, and Miss Five, you must also help me say good things." ”

Brother Lian whispered to Guan Shudu, "Do you believe in my judgment of people and things?"

"Of course I do. ”

"Then you just listen to me, Miss Fifth is not suitable for you, but my cousin is suitable for you, you can meet your cousin first, you have heard her piano and understood it, this is called a bosom friend is hard to find." ”

Guan Tongsheng was stunned when he heard it, wanted to refute but didn't know what to say, and finally thought about it, but still insisted: "In my heart, Miss Fifth is almost the same as you, I like this, don't persuade me, you promised me that the case would end and let me see Miss Five, you must do it." ”

Brother Lian looked at him helplessly, "Hurry up and go back to see your mother." ”

When he arrived at the gate, Guan Tongsheng said: "I will arrive at Jingzhao Mansion on time tomorrow morning, and the matter of the case must be grasped quickly." ”

Brother Lian replied, "Yes, Master Guan." ”

Brother Lian returned to Lian Li's courtyard, and Lian Li came over and asked her reluctantly: "Guan Gongzi and Ye Gongzi are both good, which one do you like?"

Even the younger brother chirped and said, "They are all ...... Not bad, isn't it? "On the family of the two families, it is indeed suitable, and the two of them have their own strengths, but Brother Lian doesn't know how to tell Lian Li about Yan Kong, she is afraid that if she says that she wants to find a super handsome guy, Lian Li will definitely scold her bloody.

In fact, she is really wrong to blame Lian Li, she will not scold her for being bloody, but will scold her for showering blood!

She will definitely say, you see that you want to have no breasts, no buttocks, a bamboo pole as dry as an old lady, at most your facial features are a little more delicate, but you are not a big beauty. Now you don't look like a woman when you talk, walk, and eat, you look like a man from head to toe, how do you make handsome guys look at you? Besides, why are men looking for such handsome people, can they eat? Can they be used as silver messengers?

Brother Lian picked up a bowl of soup and did it first as a respect, and even Li would never say those words, because that was the idea that had always existed in her own heart.

I've been a man for a long time, and I've long fallen in love with this freedom. If the husband she is looking for can't stand a man like her, what should she do with all kinds of accusations and demands?

Every time she thinks of this, she is extremely reluctant to be a woman in this era. But at the same time, she couldn't help but want to find someone who could accommodate her and walk with her. Will she really be able to find a soulmate?

Even Li looked at her and asked, "Can't they either?"

Brother Lian said, "It's still ...... Okay. ”

Lian Li suddenly said excitedly: "Guan Gongzi has made it clear, my mother will help you find out Ye Gongzi's tone?"

Brother Lian hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'll do it myself, mother, you don't have to worry about it." ”

*

In the study room of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Yixin sat on the Taishi chair, his hands were clenched, and Jiang Yu, who had just returned from Jingzhao Mansion, said: "It's Steward Jiang, and his death is very miserable." ”

Jiang Yixin's eyes closed, and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart. Jiang Zhi is an old slave of his family, and the whole family is doing things in the Jiang family, after Zhang Mao's accident, the minister suddenly sent someone to say the next day, asking Jiang Zhi to hide, and all the things they were doing were suspended.

He didn't think it was a serious matter, because they had the good king behind them. King Xian is the master he identified after following the prime minister, and the name of King Xian has long been famous all over the world in these years, and his good name is widely spread. In the hearts of these old courtiers, it was only a matter of time before the little emperor on the dragon chair was replaced.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the virtuous king wins the hearts of the people, so he chose this camp without hesitation and did a lot of secret work in it.

Perhaps, he was still too naïve, Zhang Mao's death had already made Kwon Xiang smell danger, and he didn't begin to feel fear until this moment.
