A-Niang is a knife mouth tofu heart, to put it bluntly, she feels sorry for me, worried about me, touched this, and is afraid that it will not be good? Of course, it was quickly settled by me.

It's just Wang Jiajia, but he can't use the same tactics, after all, a son can be coquettish to his mother, how can a big man use this trick against a girl?

"Brother Jianghu, you eat slowly." Wang Jiajia was already distressed when she saw me gobbling up and not allowing me to speak.

I put down the bowl and touched my mouth full of oil, which was very pleasant: "It's delicious!" ”

Wang Jiajia took out a handkerchief and wiped my mouth: "That is, I collected some leftovers in the back kitchen and cooked them at will." Brother Jianghu, how many days are we going to stay here? When I get home, I'll make you something delicious. ”

How many days? It's a really hard question for me. I really don't know what he's going to do to my family until I find him. At least there is Fauber to take care of them here, which is better than being at home.

Lying in a room with Ah Wu, he was in a daze and said inaudible dream words, sometimes accompanied by happy laughter, I don't know if he dreamed of the beautiful thing of getting married.

I'm still not used to squeezing into the same bed with others, and I'm still a man, but if I open another room, I'll have to pay another hundred dollars, so I can bear with it. Last night's door panel was really panicked, although the bed was not spacious, but at least the cushion was thick, and the two of them were squeezed and warm, I just hope he dreamed, but don't think of me as a bride.

Xiangzhu, Lei Thorn History, Huang Shopkeeper......

Hey, the more rational it is, the more chaotic it becomes! Li Jianghu, Li Jianghu, you say, what are you doing here? You're a poor boy selling tofu, when will it be your turn to worry about this?

Xiao Mu! You're a Chincha! Where the hell have you been these days? These are all things you should be worried about!

What kind of world?

Fortunately, it was easy to survive until the sky was bright, so I took advantage of the lack of people on the street and ran to the Thorn Mansion. In the East Courtyard, Xiao Mu is still not there.

"Li Jianghu? Are you looking for a chincha? ”

I was startled when I heard someone ask, but when I looked closely, it was Qin Yong.

"Oh, Qin Catcher. Early! ”

"I was on duty last night, and I was just replaced by Cao Hua."

"I don't know...... Forehead...... Did you get a catch last night? ”

I asked cautiously, but judging by his expression, I knew that the plan had fallen through again. The owner said that he knew that they deliberately claimed that Lin Sheng was not dead and wanted to design a trap, so how could they still take the bait?

Sure enough, Qin Yong shook his head in disappointment: "There is no movement, I don't know if they decided that Lin Sheng couldn't wake up, or if they knew that we had an ambush, so they didn't make a move." ”

"Oh, Chincha...... Haven't come back yet? ”

"Nope. Last night, Wu Changshi suggested that Meng Sima send a letter to Yiling, but Meng Sima suspected that Qin Cha was not in Yiling at all. ”

I was confused: "So where is he?" ”

"Meng Sima said that he might be in Xiangzhou City and watch us sing."

"Huh? Watching a play? I couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What's so nice about this?" ”

Qin Yong smiled bitterly: "Look at us catching thieves!" The Qincha once told us that it was impossible for him to be a Qincha in Xiangzhou for the rest of his life, and he would leave in March. At that time, everything in Xiangzhou will have to rely on us, because we are the masters of Xiangzhou! ”

"This ...... This is all such a big deal, he ......, "I'm speechless, I've never seen anyone as an official like him."

"Okay, let's go, Meng Sima is asking me to find you. I have to go home. Qin Yong pointed towards the main entrance, took two steps and stopped: "Oh, by the way, if my mother said something unpleasant to you before, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

"Oh, I wish my aunt...... Are you okay? ”

"Except for the bad talk, everything else is fine, and the eldest aunt comes over every day to accompany her to relieve her boredom."

"Oh, that's good."

I won't comfort anyone, and by the time I smirk, Qin Yong has already gone far. The eldest aunt in his mouth should be referring to his cousin Long Yuhan's mother, who remembered that when he was injured in the past and sent to her house for treatment, he saw a very kind woman.

Qin Yong should also be a kind person, although he looks ordinary, he is honest and cheerful, otherwise Mu Niangzi would not have liked him before.

When I used to go to the Jianghu Inn to deliver tofu, he was getting along with Mu Niangzi, the family built a house, lived in the inn, and a few times I met him, he would take the initiative to give way to me, and sometimes he would take a hand to help me unload the wooden barrel......

Hey, it's a pity that he was mixed up by his mother, not only did he break up with Mu Niangzi, but his hopes of being an official were also shattered, and now even his personality has become withdrawn.

I sighed and was taken by the official to Meng Sima's study. Meng Sima is writing, no, it should be called practicing calligraphy. I saw that he was concentrating on copying a word, and the faint fragrance of ink came, refreshing people's hearts.

Pine smoke ink!

I couldn't help but get closer, and as soon as I took a look, I almost pronounced ——— "Tranquility and Far-reaching"!

When I saw the stamp, I couldn't believe my eyes, yes, this is too familiar to me, Fauber originally wanted to sell it to me, but it was decisively bought by a man in a gray short cloth shirt for a tael of silver.

I began to think that Mu Niangzi was afraid that no one wanted Li Dongsheng's words, so I secretly asked people to buy them, until the second time I saw the Xiangzhu, he showed Lin Sheng a painting scroll, Lin Sheng read out "Tranquility Zhiyuan", and the Xiangzhu said that it was written by Li Dongsheng......

At that time, I had questions about why Li Dongsheng's words came into the hands of the Xiangzhu, but I didn't dare to ask more, and I didn't even see clearly whether the painting scroll in the Xiangzhu's hand was "quiet and far-reaching".

And this lettering ...... Now it's actually in Meng Sima's study!

"Li Jianghu, are you here?"

"Meet Sima!" I felt rude and quickly waved my hands.

Meng Sima was not to blame, he put down his pen and showed me the words he had just written: "How, how does it compare with Li Dongjia's painting?" ”

I looked at the two similar words, and remembered what Li Huichun once said: "This is ...... Regular script? ”

Meng Sima showed a hint of surprise on his face: "You know calligraphy? ”

"No, no, no, I happened to hear someone say it. This ...... How is it here? ”

Meng Sima smiled slightly, turned around and picked up several scrolls from the bookshelf, and unfolded them.

I was even more shocked: "This ...... These are Li Dongsheng's words! ”

"Yes! It cost me a lot of money! Meng Sima said, looking a little distressed.

I, including Fu Bo, thought that the words that Li Dongsheng couldn't sell were secretly bought by Mu Niangzi, but I didn't expect that the person who bought the words was actually Meng Sima.

"See, are all the things you're looking for here?"

What am I looking for? I sniffed and looked at the inkstone on the table, "What am I looking for?" ”

"Okay, it's just the two of us here, so don't pretend. The team came to report last night, saying that you suspect that the shopkeeper of Huang's pastry shop is the owner? ”

Fu Bo is really talkative, I just asked the shopkeeper Huang more, and he actually reported it!

I glanced at his ink again: "This is pine smoke ink?" ”

"Yes."

I said: "When I met with Lord Xiang yesterday, I smelled this ink fragrance on his body, and it happened that the shopkeeper Huang bought a couplet from Li Dongsheng and put it in his sleeve, I suspect it is the smell of pine smoke ink." Therefore, I boldly guessed whether it was the shopkeeper Huang who secretly went to Maocaolong to meet me while entertaining guests, so as to create evidence of his alibi. However, Ah Wu and Shi both confirmed that the shopkeeper Huang had not left. ”

Meng Sima frowned again: "Haven't left?" The guys from the two inns, there were many guests yesterday, they were so busy that they were dizzy, and you didn't specifically explain to let them keep an eye on the shopkeeper Huang, how can they guarantee it? ”

"This ......" The suspicion I had just faded was hooked again: "What Sima said is very true, last night the shopkeeper Huang invited three tables of guests, and ate wine in three private rooms on the second floor, without special instructions, Ah Wu They are all waiting on the first floor or at the staircase, and they will not go to the room to disturb, as long as the shopkeeper Huang does not go downstairs from the stairs, they think he is still in the room."

Even if his guests are enjoying drinking and eating, they will not keep their eyes on the yellow shopkeeper, because there are still beautiful women playing music at the scene, and they are all busy watching the beautiful women. Even if the shopkeeper left halfway, they would only go to other private rooms to toast other guests, and if they asked for a confession, they would also testify that he never left. ”

"Good!" Meng Sima slapped me on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Qin Cha is really accurate to see people, he chose you as the captain of the team at that time, I also questioned it, I think you are such an ordinary businessman who sells tofu, how can you take on a big responsibility, I didn't expect you to be thoughtful and smart." ”

"I ...... Hehe, Sima praised, Li didn't dare to be ashamed. I smiled embarrassedly, I was really embarrassed to be praised, if it wasn't for Meng Sima's question just now, I would have almost denied my reasoning, hey, I still have shortcomings and self-confidence sometimes.

Meng Sima pointed to the poems of Li Bai and said: "These characters were hung in the inn for several days and were not sold, so I asked someone to buy them." And this 'quiet and far-reaching' painting was given to me by Thorn Shi on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"What? Sent by Thunderthorn History? I carefully recalled the person who boldly handed out a tael of silver to buy the calligraphy and painting that day: "That day, it was the Thunder Thorn Shi who sent someone to buy this calligraphy?" ”

"No, Thorn Shi said, he picked it up in his yard? He saw that I had several paintings of Li Dongjia's characters in my collection, so he gave them to me. ”

I was at a loss again: "Picked up?" When did you pick it up? ”

Meng Sima looked solemn: "On the twenty-ninth night of the lunar month!" Oh, that is, the day when Li Dongjia was wrongfully cut off Aunt Zhu's tongue! ”

I also recall the events of that day, which was the last time I saw Xiao Mu.

"Li Dongsheng was wronged that day, and Fu Bo asked me to come to Qincha for help, but he was not there." I said.

"I'm not here either, someone sent a message early in the morning, saying that the county order of Baokang County was a matter of human life, and the assassin was very angry and ordered me to find out. I went to find out that it was just a misinformation, and the messenger was nowhere to be found.

I came back to report the matter to Thorn Shi, who said that it was possible that someone was dissatisfied with the Baokang County Decree and deliberately led us to a surprise inspection. And that was the end of it.

Now that I think about it, it is estimated that the person who passed the message was a meticulous work, and the purpose was to deliberately take me away and leave the Li Dong family alone. Because I learned afterwards that Mu Niangzi went to Yunyin Nunnery that day, Li Huichun did not return from the consultation, and I was not there, if it wasn't for Qin Cha's sudden appearance, I was afraid that Li Dongjia might have killed Xu County Order with a knife at that time. ”

I calmly listened to Meng Sima say this, this matter has passed, and it is useless to analyze it more, what I am concerned about now is how Li Dongsheng's words can appear in the courtyard of the Lei Thorn Historian's house.

Meng Sima seemed to see through my thoughts, and picked up "Tranquility Zhiyuan" again: "Have you seen this character in the Jianghu Inn?" ”
