Volume 1 Spoiling Chapter 40 An Unexpected Encounter
When I woke up the next day, I was full of spring breeze and happily went to Xiaozhuang to say goodbye. was pulled by Xiaozhuang to soak in the same spring. Even the queen mother did not have the treatment, but she was taken away by Chunxi again, and this time I don't know how many people were envious and jealous.
After soaking in the spring water and having a meal, the Empress Dowager invited Chunxi to play a game of chess.
"Don't deliberately lose to the mourners." Xiaozhuang spoke, and Chunxi didn't dare to make small moves. In fact, with Xiaozhuang's chess skills, Chun Xi couldn't win at all, let alone deliberately lose. She said this just because she wanted to play chess with all her might.
Chunxi likes to play chess with her very much, because Xiaozhuang's chess skills are very exquisite, and she has benefited a lot from a game of chess. Recently, I have been playing chess with her, and my chess skills have also improved a lot.
Looking at the layout of Xiaozhuang, Chunxi suddenly remembered a person. I don't know if the person is okay now, more than half a year has passed, but she is not one step closer to the dream in her heart.
"What are you thinking?" Xiaozhuang saw that she was distracted, and reached out and knocked on her forehead.
Chunxi came back to his senses, and did not hide it, and said truthfully: "Looking at the layout of the old ancestor, Chunxi remembered a friend. ”
Xiaozhuang was a little surprised, his layout today is not something that ordinary people can understand: "Oh? What kind of friends are they? ”
"She is a girl who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing." Thinking about Han Ji, Chun Xi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Talking about her, it's a kind of pride.
"Really?" When Xiaozhuang heard this, he was also interested: "You have a good talk with the mourning family, what is this girl's ability." ”
Seeing that she was full of interest, Chun Xi also became happy, and talked to her about all kinds of rumors about Han Ji. He said his acquaintance with Han Ji and his sworn worship without reservation. It's like you haven't met someone for a long time, so you can have a good chat.
When it came to Han Ji, her mouth couldn't stop. It seems that no matter how you say it, no matter what language you use, you can't tell Han Ji's skills well. At this time, she realized that no matter how eloquent she was familiar with the books and texts, she would not be able to find suitable sentences when using Han Ji.
After listening to this, Xiaozhuang couldn't help but praise: "Is there really such a beautiful person in this world?" She's not far from here, isn't she? ”
"yes." Chunxi nodded, but wondered again. Seeing the appearance of the old ancestor, it seems that he is very interested in Han Ji.
"Then the mourning family sent someone to invite them, and the mourning family was very curious about this woman." Listening to the place where he is not far away, Xiaozhuang is a joy again.
Chunxi thought of Han Ji's temperament, she has always been casual, only those who like to see can see, and those who don't like it may not even see her figure: "Ancestor, but talented and beautiful women are not what you want to see." ”
"As the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, how can you not see a people's daughter?" When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was very dissatisfied.
Chun Xi smiled and said: "Ancestor, this list of talented people has a perverse temperament. Chunxi also heard that many princes and nobles wanted to see her, but they couldn't see her at all costs. She pays attention to fate and talent. If the ancestor rashly sent someone to invite him, I am afraid he would not be able to invite him. If the people who sent her knew that she was so unappreciative, they would have to forcibly bring her back. Does the Ancestor want to see this situation? ”
"That's right. Since she is good friends with you, it is better for you to go there yourself. Luckily? Xiaozhuang said again.
I wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager to dispel her thoughts, but I didn't know that this statement would make me have many errands. If you think about it, maybe I haven't seen her for a long time, and this is also a good thing. Moreover, the case of Brother Lan Xin is in Fangshan, and Zhang Pengrong is being ordered to investigate the case. She might as well take this opportunity to take Lan Xin to find out. Thinking about this, I also responded.
Xiaozhuang sent someone to escort him, and he couldn't wait to ask Xuan Ye what he meant, so Chun Xi took Lan Xin out of Tangquan Palace and went to Fangshan.
Hearing this, there is no one happier than Lan Xin. It's just that Chun Xi was a little uneasy along the way, and he just brought a word to Xuan Ye, and I don't know if he was angry.
Since entering the palace, it has been difficult to leave the palace. Last time, because of the fake painting case, I was pulled out by Xuan Ye a few times. It was the first time that he had been ordered to come out alone. Thinking of seeing her, Chunxi was not very happy in her heart.
It's just that she never thought that she had just arrived in Fangshan, and there would be a change.
For convenience, Chunxi only dresses up as an ordinary businesswoman, and everyone who accompanies her along the way also dresses up as a housekeeper. With the generous gifts prepared by Xiaozhuang, he didn't talk to people much along the way.
When I entered Fangshan County, I found an inn nearby to stay. She had just finished taking a sip of tea when she heard a noise outside the door. Lan Xin opened the door to look, only to see that the guard in front of the door was blocking a woman.
"What's the matter?" Lan Xin asked.
"This woman has to see Madame."
"Who?" Lan Xin only saw the back of the woman, a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and shouted happily: "Sister Mu." ”
Hearing Lan Xin's shout, the woman who was arguing with the guards turned around and was Mu Hui who came in disguise. When Chunxi heard Lan Xin's words, she also walked to the door, and she was also happy to see Mu Hui.
"Mu Hui, why are you here?" Chunxi walked out of the door and pulled Mu Hui to enter the door, but was stopped by Mu Hui.
"Ma'am, there are others." Following Mu Hui's eyes, it turned out that Cao Ziqing and Zhang Pengrong were standing on the stairs not far away.
Chun Xi was overjoyed: "Quick, come in and tell me what's going on?" ”
was pulled into the door by Chunxi, in front of the table of the Eight Immortals, one person sat on one side, and Lan Xin served the hot tea that Xiao Er had just served.
"Why are you in Fangshan?" Her face was full of questions.
Mu Hui said unhurriedly: "Before Mrs. left Beijing, Lord Cao and I came to Fangshan to meet with Lord Zhang on the order of the emperor and help Lord Zhang investigate the case. ”
"Lan Xin, thank you." When Lan Xin heard this, she was about to kneel, but was pulled by Mu Hui.
"Lan Xin, I really regard you as my sister, you have something to ask for at home, how can I sit idly by." Thinking of Mu Hui's words that day, she also felt that her attitude at that time was not good. Fortunately, the little lord left her in the palace, but she was blessed by misfortune, and after a while, Wei Yangji came over to pass the decree and asked her to immediately go to Fangshan with Cao Ziqing out of Beijing. This happens to be a good way to apologize, and I can't wait to come out.
Zhang Pengrong also said: "It turns out that Miss Lanxin is the family member of this case." ”
"What did you find then?" Chun Xi understood what they were coming from and asked eagerly.
"After a few days, we found out that this case is quite complicated. By the time we arrived, Mr. Zhang had already identified the real culprit of the first homicide. Cao Ziqing said.
"Oh?" She was overjoyed and smiled at Lan Xin.
However, Jing's case has never been answered. After we returned to Beijing, we went to the prison cell of the Criminal Department to check in person, but we couldn't find the slightest clue, as if this person was really murdered by Jing E. ”
Chun Xi was puzzled: "Is it that Jing was wronged, saying that he murdered his cousin?" Since the real culprit in the first case is not Jing E's cousin, then Jing E's crime of covering up is naturally gone. How could he kill his cousin to get away with it, it's too strange. ”
"That's right. We all know that Jing Tuo was wronged, but there is no proof that Jing Tuo is not a murderer. Mu Hui said again.
"Does the Criminal Department have evidence to prove that the murderer is my brother?" Lan Xin asked eagerly.
"Yes." Zhang Pengrong said: "Your cousin was strangled to death, and the rope that strangled him was Jing's belt. And Jing Yi is in the same cell with him, if there is no killer, then how can he not know who the murderer is? And survived alone? This is the evidence of the Criminal Department. ”
"But that's just speculation." Lan Xin was astringent, she really didn't know what the people in this criminal department thought, obviously there was no motive to kill, how could she be a murderer.
"That belt is ironclad evidence, and we don't have any evidence to break it." Cao Ziqingdao.
"We just want to start over with the first case." Mu Hui said again.
"No wonder you're here." It's clear.
"We arrived last night, and as soon as we arrived, we received a message from the flying pigeon, saying that Madame was coming." Cao Ziqing said: "The third master said in the letter that he also set off. ”
"But he's in the palace, how can he ......" Hearing that Xuan Ye was coming, Chun Xi was bittersweet. How could he leave his ancestors behind and come to Fangzhou at this time.
"I guess I snuck out." Cao Ziqing said affirmatively.
Stunned for a moment, sneaking out? Worried about her?
"Why did Madame come to Fangzhou?" Mu Hui diverted the topic, afraid that she would think nonsense.
"I came to invite Han Ji on the order of the Empress Dowager." Ulva said.
"Miss Han?" Mu Hui was overjoyed. Could it be that the Empress Dowager also learned about Han Ji's reputation?
"Han Ji? But the rumored strange woman? When Zhang Pengrong heard this, he was also surprised. He also knew a little about this Han Ji. Now you can hear her name Han Ji everywhere in Beijing.
"yes." Chun Xi nodded. Looking at Zhang Pengrong's appearance, I think that in the past half a year, Han Ji's name has been more prosperous than before.
"If it weren't for the case being investigated, I would really want to go with my wife to meet this woman." Zhang Pengrong said regretfully.
"Master Zhang is happy." Lan Xin's heart was full of gratitude. It's a shame to be tired of so many people running for her brother.
Zhang Pengrong didn't care: "Look at the girl's words, this is a matter of the next part, not to mention the emperor's personal order." In fact, this case is quite challenging. ”
"The matter of this case is still bothering Lord Zhang." Chun Xi said: "As for Lord Zhang in the future, if you want to see Han Ji, I can arrange it for your lord." ”
Zhang Pengrong nodded in response: "Then I will thank Mrs. here first." With the promise of Chunxi, Zhang Pengrong also felt that the fatigue of so many days was worth it. How many people in the capital want to see Han Ji, but today Chunxi went to invite, and the promise was that things would definitely come true. Why not have a good time.
After chatting for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.
