Chapter 121: The Old Case of the Qu Family
Xie Xuan looked at her back and laughed lowly, "It's not morning glory that I like, it's ......"
"Childe, Lord He is here with a banquet." Ruolan glanced at the carriage not far from Qu Mansion and reminded calmly.
Qingxue looked at her coldly.
Ruolan was calm.
Xie Xuan swallowed the second half of his sentence, glanced at the few carriages that were rushing here, and commanded lightly: "This king is tired." ”
With a simple sentence, He Yunhu, who hurried over with his wife, daughter, several subordinates who accompanied him, the elderly, and a bunch of famous singers and dancers, was closed again. Because he didn't know when Xie Xuan was not tired, he didn't dare to leave at all.
and so on.
I waited until it was dark.
After lunch, after washing and changing clothes, Xie Xuan, who had slept well, asked Nanling to invite him to the foot of the mountain.
Naturally, the banquet is inedible.
He Yunhu hurriedly asked people to go to the foot of the mountain to clean up a courtyard, and sent someone to come to Fu Restaurant to bring their entire back kitchen over and let them cook it.
Xie Xuan watched him busy and didn't stop him.
Only when the dishes were served one after another, the waiter and Wenmo stepped forward to stop them and said, "Our son doesn't eat out." ”
"It's because Weichen is not thoughtful, the prince's status is noble, so you have to be careful and careful." He Yunhu laughed, and after quickly making amends, he asked people to withdraw the banquet.
Originally, after coming up at the banquet, he was going to take advantage of the situation to recruit Mrs. He and He Qiluo, obviously to relieve Chen Chaoyan's boredom, but in fact, he introduced him to Xie Xuan, but now he doesn't dare.
After proposing to invite a famous singer and dancer to perform on the stage to help the wine and was refused, although he was unwilling, He Yunhu had to mention the matter of the Qu family: "The prince came to Dongyin County, but he came for the old case of the Qu family? ”
Xie Xuan rolled his eyes slightly, "Why do you say that?" ”
Seeing that he finally answered, He Yunhu quietly relieved himself while secretly sighing that it was not true. Then, he quickly adjusted his mood and said more and more respectfully: "When Wei Chen was an official in Lingnan Province earlier, he had already heard about the old case of the Qu family. After coming to Dongyin County at the beginning of last year, the case was also re-examined for the first time. It's a pity that for many years, Ren Weichen tried his best to find out any new clues. In the first half of the year, the wind and rain in Dongyin County were smooth and the people were healthy, and the county government rarely encountered a free day, so Weichen turned over the Qu family's case and checked it again, but it was still fruitless. ”
"Some time ago, after I was fortunate enough to hear about Miss Chen's thunderous means of solving the case, I was about to go to ask for advice with the case, and I heard the news that the prince was coming to this side."
After euphemistically talking about his achievements, He Yunhu paused slightly, and saw that Xie Xuan was not impatient, so he continued: "In the early years, Dongyin County was the bottom of the thirteen counties in Qianzhong Dao, whether it was taxes or people. It was during the period when Mrs. Qu was recuperating that she still worked tirelessly to plan, and she gradually got to where she is today. Mrs. Qu was originally a member of the Ministry of Industry and Water, but because of his physical illness, he temporarily resigned and returned to Dongyin County. Originally, after he recovered, he should have returned to the capital to resume his duties, but he didn't want to get sick yet, so those two cases happened......"
Turning his head to look at the Qu Mansion that was brightly lit in the past, but now there are only sporadic points of light, He Yunhu took two long breaths, waved his hands and said: "Old lady Qu's contribution to Dongyin County is obvious to all, and Weichen implores the prince to give an order to let Miss Chen start and re-investigate this case!" ”
Xie Xuan looked at him, and did not point out all the harshness he had towards Qu An in the past, "Lord He also thinks that there is another mystery in the case of Qu Wensheng and Qu Qiyuan's father and son?" ”
He Yunhu lowered his eyes and said, "Weichen does think that there is another mystery. ”
Xie Xuan said with great interest: "Let's talk about it." ”
Judging from the case file and the situation found out when Weichen re-examined the case, Qu Wensheng is honest and benevolent, and there is only one wife and one concubine in the family, and he is also harmonious and beautiful. Although the reputation of the old lady Qu is famous, he has never relied on this to make things difficult for others. Although the widow of the Zhou family has a bit of beauty, she is far from Mrs. Zhiqu. Qu Wensheng has no reason to sacrifice the pearl to grab the fish's eye, and commit a murder for this. He Yunhu was obviously prepared, "Let's talk about Qu Qiyuan, a year before his father Qu Wensheng's accident, he had already achieved a good result of the 197th place in the top three. After Qu Wensheng's accident, he was also determined to go to Luyang County to take over the record and join the military, and he would never hang himself a month before taking over, and he still chose a secret place like the two mountains and deep valleys of the Changze Mountains. ”
Xie Xuan nodded, "Listening to you, there are indeed a lot of doubts." It's a pity that the evidence is conclusive, and if you want to overturn the case, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
He Yunhu took the opportunity to say: "Miss Chen is like a god in judging the case, and she will definitely be able to return the Qu family to a clean slate!" ”
Xie Xuan didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but only asked, "The case file was brought?" ”
"Brought!" He Yunhu thought that he had hidden it very well, and he covered up the calculations in his eyes, and said to Shi Feng, the county magistrate on the side, "Don't hurry up and submit the case file." ”
Shi Feng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, waved his hands and said, "The case file is here, and it is with Miss." ”
"Nonsense!" He Yunhu snorted, and after a quick glance at Xie Xuan, he quickly called out, "Don't hurry up and let Miss bring the case file!" ”
Xie Xuan picked up his wine glass, lowered his eyes to hide mockery, and still didn't stop it.
Suddenly.
He Qiluo, who was dressed in a green shirt with a group pattern, a silk silk and a red dress with a folded branch pattern, combed a double bun, smeared with a hibiscus face, and wore a silver bead flower tree hairpin and a gold jeweled necklace, walked in delicately and softly with the case file. After glancing at Xie Xuan shyly and timidly, he handed over the case file with a scarlet face, "Dad, the case file you want." ”
He Yunhu took the case file, and after secretly glancing at Xie Xuan, he said in a low voice: "Have you forgotten the rules that you were taught on weekdays?" Why did you see the prince and still not see the courtesy? ”
He Qiluo bit his lip lightly, stepped forward with a blushing face, and said lightly with his hands: "The courtier has seen the prince." ”
Xie Xuan lifted his eyes and looked at her with a flirtatious expression.
He Qiluo bit her lip, and after not seeing him for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked over. The moment he met his gaze, the blood color instantly stained his cheeks, and then he quickly lowered his head, his voice was so soft that it seemed to be dripping, and he called softly: "Lord Wang." ”
Xie Xuan let out a 'heh' meaninglessly.
"Alright, let's go down." He Yunhu couldn't fathom his thoughts, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart. pretended to rush people with his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on him, wanting to see if he would keep people.
He Qiluo didn't want to leave, and looked at Xie Xuan with eyes half obsessed and half aggrieved.
Xie Xuan played with the wine glass and did not speak.
He Yunhu exclaimed tentatively, "Lord Wang? ”
Xie Xuan looked at him and asked casually, "Lord He is the one who is taking the wind and washing the dust for this king, but he still has his own daughter, what do you mean?" ”
He Yunhu quickly explained: "The insiders also came over, originally planning to accompany Miss Chen to relieve her boredom, but Miss Chen did not attend. ”
Xie Xuan hooked his lips, "Really?" ”
He Yunhu didn't dare to keep He Qiluo anymore, and after asking Shi Feng to take her away, he hurriedly handed over the case file and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to hide the prince." ”
The waiter checked the case file and made sure that it was all right, before closing it and handing it to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan took it, looked through it, and asked, "Is there anything else to Master He?" ”
"Wechen retired." He Yunhu waved his hands in amusement, took three steps back, turned around and led everyone away.
After two cups of tea.
After reading the case file, Xie Xuan asked, "Miss Chen has rested?" ”
The waiter nodded, "I'll rest after lunch, I'm afraid I won't wake up in two days." ”
"Two ......days," Xie Xuan got up, glanced at the night outside, and said, "Then wait for her for two days." It just so happens that this king also wants to enjoy the good scenery of Dongyin County. ”
Like every continuous carriage ride before, Chen Chaoyan slept for two days before he woke up.
In the past two days, Xie Xuan, under the leadership of He Yunhu, visited the high mountains and temples, streams, rivers and lakes in Dongyin County.
He Qiluo also took the young ladies of various families, and on the pretext of accompanying Chen Chaoyan to enjoy the fun, he came to the Quzhai Mountainside Courtyard seven or eight times. Although without exception, all of them returned in vain, but He Qiluo did not give up.
Therefore, Chen Chaoyan woke up near noon, washed up, had lunch, and was just about to take a walk in Pingba in front, and by the way, she understood the purpose of Xie Xuan's residence here, so she came again.
Hearing the news, Chen Chaoyan was puzzled: "Miss He...... He-sama's daughter? What is she looking for me to do? ”
Tsukimi quickly told her about the past two days.
After hearing this, Chen Chaoyan glanced at Xie Xuan's courtyard with a smile and said, "It turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." If that is the case, then invite her in. ”
The moon does not move.
Chen Chaoyan looked at her and teased: "What's the matter, that Miss He is not good-looking?" ”
"It's not pretty." Tsukimi said with a cold face.
"Looks like you don't like her." Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but be curious, "Then I want to see her even more." ”
Yuejian stopped her angrily, "Isn't Miss Chen afraid of luring wolves into the room?" ”
"Wolves?" Chen Chaoyan put his hands on her shoulders, pushed her aside, and said as he walked out, "She is not the only one who covets the fat sheep of your son. If I hide like this, I won't have to go out for the rest of my life. ”
There seems to be some truth to that. Yuejian immediately swept away her dissatisfaction and quickly caught up with her, "No matter what kind of wolf or sheep, Miss Chen is really not afraid that her son will be snatched away by others?" ”
"Why be afraid?" Chen Chaoyan asked.
"Aren't you afraid?" Yuejian didn't believe it, and said more intentionally, "There are a lot of young ladies who like our son." ”
"So what?" Chen Chaoyan's face was calm, and his voice was quiet, "Your son grew up in the capital since he was a child, what kind of flowers and plants have you never seen, but didn't he choose me in the end?" ”
Tsukimi blurted out, "That's because ......"
"That's because I will autopsy and solve cases," Chen Chaoyan continued her words with a good time, "and other young ladies can only play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and songs." ”
Yuejian pursed his lips and said deliberately: "Other young ladies are still good-looking." ”
Chen Chaoyan glanced at her, "It's good-looking, but it can't be eaten as a meal." ”
Tsukimi was unconvinced: "But I can ......"
"But pleasing to the eye?" Chen Chaoyan took her words again, and after seeing her nodding, he couldn't help but hook his lips and smiled, "It's not simple, when I pass the door, I will give your son dozens of beautiful concubines." ”
Yuejian was a little angry, "You ......" don't care about our son at all?
"I'm fine, thank you." Chen Chaoyan was extremely friendly and took her words again.
Tsukimi was so angry that he ignored her.
Chen Chaoyan was amused and chuckled.
