There was no huge team, and the group of five people felt very relaxed. 【Fengyun Reading Network. No one urged or reminded me fast or slow, everything went according to my heart, and a few people discussed it, but it was also comfortable.

"The way we are now reminds me of the first time I met a few people." Zhang Pengrong was smiling, and his mind was full of memories from many years ago. Back then, I met them in the painting studio, and I became acquainted with them because of the fake painting case, if it weren't for this coincidence, he would not have been as famous as he is today.

Xuan Ye also smiled and said, "Yes, this is a bit like that time, but Ziqing was replaced by Rong Ruo." ”

"But I haven't had a chance to ask, why is Brother Cao not on this trip?" Zhang Pengrong asked curiously.

Xuan Ye talked about the death of Cao Ziqing's father, and said: "When we get to Jiangning, we will naturally be able to meet him." Now he is also inheriting his father's business, and temporarily handed over all the things woven by Jiangning to him to take care of. ”

Hearing Xuan Ye and Zhang Pengrong mention Cao Ziqing, Mu Hui was in a cold sweat, and her heart was sour. She looked at Chun Xi, smiling at the other side, but her eyes were looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"There's a fork in the road ahead, I'm going to ask for directions, and a few of you will wait here for a while." Nalan Rongruo led the horse and inquired about an old man doing small business at the intersection next to him, while Xuan Ye and the others stood in the shade of the tree waiting for him.

"We've been like this for two days, and along the way, we can see interesting things about the humanities, and we can really understand the people's feelings, and this trip is also cost-effective." Xuan Ye was in a good mood today, and felt that it was very interesting to see anything around him.

"Third master, this is just the beginning, don't be too happy." Seeing him like this, Chunxi couldn't help but pour cold water: "Don't forget, the scene we saw yesterday, maybe if we go on again, we will encounter something we haven't seen before." ”

"You squeezed me." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, looking at her very dotingly.

Between the two of them laughing, Nalan Rongruo had already walked back from the intersection. Seeing that he was about to join them, a woman suddenly rushed out from across the road, stumbling and almost knocking down Nalan Rongruo, but fortunately he dodged in time and stretched out his hand to pull, so that people would not be able to stop their strength and fall to the ground.

But the man's strength was so great that he broke free as soon as he stood firm, and ran in the other direction. Before Nalan Rongruo came back to his senses, a large group of people chased in the direction of that person, and judging by his clothes, he should be an errand in the yamen.

Nalan Rongruo glanced at it curiously, then withdrew his gaze and returned to Xuan Ye's side.

"There is a beauty in her arms, how can she let the family run away." Zhang Pengrong quipped.

When Nalan Rongruo heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said with a smile: "I already have a wife room below, don't make such a naughty joke." ”

Zhang Pengrong was very surprised, and asked with a smile, "It seems that there are a lot of things I don't know, it seems that I have missed a lot of things in the past few years." ”

Nalan Rongruo patted him on the shoulder and told him about himself and Fu'er. Just as he was talking about the highlights, he saw that the woman who bumped into Nalan Rongruo just now had been escorted back by the servants, and just looked at the past, this person was really a little beautiful.

Chunxi was still flirting with Xuan Ye, but Mu Hui pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, that woman looks very much like a person." ”

Hearing this, she looked in the direction she was pointing, and what Mu Hui said was the person who was getting closer and closer to being held by the servants. When she passed in front of her eyes, she finally understood who Mu Hui was like a person.

"Third master, this person is handsome, I don't know what mistakes he made, he will be caught back at this time, I'm afraid he will pass the hall, let's go and see the excitement?" Chun Xi turned around and said to Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye didn't understand why Chun Xi was suddenly interested in a stranger, but he also wanted to see if the magistrate's judgment here was fair, so he readily agreed. Several men followed the officer not far from the yamen.

As Chunxi guessed, it was really about to be interrogated in court shortly after he was brought back, so several people mixed in the crowd outside the yamen and followed him to watch the county magistrate decide the case.

This is a seemingly simple case, the woman who was escorted back is called Li Yu, a widow, because she stole a gold bottle from the Xie family next door, and was sued by the Xie family master to the yamen, when the servant went to her house to get people, she refused to admit her guilt and did not say anything, and tried to escape in vain. However, he was still chased and captured.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think of this case?" Xuan Ye turned sideways and whispered to Zhang Pengrong, who was standing next to him.

Zhang Pengrong knew that Xuan Ye wanted to test him, and he said confidently: "This is an unjust case. ”

"Oh? Brother Zhang understood it at a glance? Xuan Ye felt very relieved.

Zhang Pengrong looked at the plaintiff and the defendant kneeling in the hall and said: "I just heard this county decree that the old man of the Xie family is a businessman and has many treasures in the family, although this gold bottle is not the most expensive one, it is also a rare thing. But I see that this old man of the Xie family is just an empty person, he looks luxuriously dressed, but his shoes are almost worn out. Isn't it strange that someone who can afford to wear such clothes doesn't buy himself a new pair of shoes? ”

As soon as Xuan Ye heard this, he immediately saw the soles of the Xie family's feet exposed because he was kneeling on the ground. It looks like it's about to break, and it should be good to wear on your feet now. Xuan Ye motioned for Zhang Pengrong to continue, and then heard Zhang Pengrong say again: "In comparison, although that Widow Li is dressed simply, she is clean and tidy, and she also wears a ring on her right hand, which should be worth a lot of money. And the golden hairpin on her head, perhaps more valuable than the golden bottle, what reason did she have to steal it? ”

Mu Hui looked back at Zhang Pengrong with a smile and said, "Zhang Gongzi has good eyesight, and women's jewelry objects are very proficient." ”

Zhang Pengrong smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "I married a daughter-in-law last year, and I didn't have anything good to give her, so I went to the shop many times during the Chinese New Year, and I chose it for a long time before I gave her a good gift." I have also heard a lot from those buyers and sellers, and I understand a little bit. ”

"It seems that Brother Zhang also has a lot of things to hide from us." Nalan Rongruo quipped.

"However, the third master's vision is not bad, he should have already seen that there was a problem with the judgment of this case, otherwise he would not have asked me." Zhang Pengrong immediately changed the topic, allowing everyone's thoughts to return to the case being tried in front of them.

Xuan Ye smiled: "I'm not as careful as you, and I have seen so much." I just recognized that the golden vase was an object in the palace. ”

As soon as Xuan Ye said this, the eyes of the four people looked at him, and Xuan Ye immediately explained: "Many years ago, I gave away one such gold bottle, but it has already been lost, and I don't know why it appeared here, and it was involved in an unjust case. ”

When Chun Xi heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, it is better for us to settle this unjust case, and then ask the widow Li, won't everything be clear?" ”

Xuan Ye also had this intention, and when he saw Chun Xi say this, he immediately said to Zhang Pengrong: "Are you confident that you can bring people out smoothly?" ”

Zhang Pengrong said: "Don't worry. ”

"Alright, we'll wait for you in the tea shed opposite." Xuan Ye pulled Chun Xi and left, and Mu Hui and Nalan Rongruo immediately followed.

Zhang Pengrong looked at them helplessly, sighed and turned around and walked towards the lobby.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Pengrong had already taken the Widow Li out and joined Xuan Ye in the tea shed. Widow Li was still holding the golden bottle in her hand, and she kept thanking Zhang Pengrong in her mouth.

"How did you do that?" Mu Hui asked with a smile.

"Secret." Zhang Pengrong smiled mysteriously: "The person is brought out, and the task is completed, as for the process, you haven't been able to see it, so naturally you are not interested in watching it." Then why should I bother to say it to you again? ”

Mu Hui was angry, and after Zhang Pengrong was stretching out his hand to pour tea, he poured it into his cup, and filled it with tea for Xuan Ye and them one by one, and finally when it was Zhang Pengrong's turn, he shouted: "Oh, no." ”

Zhang Pengrong glanced at her speechlessly, and when he saw the other party's expression of what can you do to me, he was immediately defeated, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, make another pot of hot tea." ”

Looking at the actions of these two people, Chunxi couldn't help laughing, and turned her head to see Widow Li still holding the golden bottle tightly, looking at them tremblingly. To be precise, she was looking at Xuan Ye.

She was staring at Xuan Ye, but a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt, not daring to say a word.

"Sit down." Chun Xi shouted at her, and carefully looked at her face, and the trace of doubt in her heart deepened.

"I don't know if you know a girl named Shiyu." As soon as Widow Li sat down, Chun Xi asked.

Hearing the name of the poem, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chunxi vigilantly. When Xuan Ye heard her ask, he also looked at it curiously, and then asked, "Poetry?" How do you know poetry? ”

"Doesn't the third master think that she looks very similar to Yan Wan?" Chun Xi looked at Xuan Ye.

Only then did Xuan Ye seriously look at the person sitting opposite, he couldn't remember the person in his memory, but the one in front of him did look a little similar to Yan Wan. But looking at her appearance, she should be older than Yan Wan.

"What does that have to do with Yan Wan?" Xuan Ye asked in astonishment.

"Yan Wan once had a sister, who was the personal maid of the third master's wife." Chunxi directly singled out and said that she couldn't be sure if the person in front of her was or not, after all, Chunxi had never seen real poetry. The image of her is entirely because of Yan Wan's description.

Xuan Ye naturally understood that the wife in Chunxi's mouth was Empress Renxiao, and it had been ten years since the queen died, and there were many palace maids in Kunning Palace in the past. Empress Renxiao had also changed her personal maid several times before she died, and Xuan Ye only remembered a few names so far. As for his appearance, he was a little uncertain.

Looking at the woman sitting opposite again, Xuan Ye's doubts deepened. His gaze fell on the golden bottle in the other party's hand, and he remembered that it was sent by him to Kunning Palace and personally handed over to Empress Renxiao. At that time, he and Renxiao liked this gold bottle very much, and felt that the patterns painted on this bottle were auspicious and the workmanship was fine. But after Renxiao's death, the golden bottle disappeared.

Now, there is a palace maid who is suspected to be next to Renxiao, holding this golden bottle.
