Yu Chi Qingqiao drank the cup of flower tea that was only half left, and then poured himself a cup of overflowing as if he was deliberate, and then smiled at Liu Ya kindly, "I'm afraid that you will always be concerned about the serial cases that once asked you to bother to help, following the clues you gave, we found new progress, and now Lao Kang has just returned, and the owner of the door has also asked him to participate in the investigation, and he is looking through the previous records." ”

Liu Ya waited for a long time and didn't wait for him to talk about the new development, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhiyu, who was sitting on the side drinking tea like an immortal cultivator, "Isn't my cousin a good student?"

"Nope. Jiang Zhiyu didn't raise his eyelids, and he didn't want to deny it.

Yu Chi Qingqiao, who was indeed counted by good students, "......"

Liu Ya looked at Yu Chi Qingqiao with a funny look of convulsions that wanted to accuse Jiang Zhiyu but didn't dare to accuse, and pulled Jiang Zhiyu's arm flatteringly, "Cousin, don't blame Wei Chi for catching fast, I volunteered to help him, I am your sister, if you don't want to do it, where would he dare to force me to half a point?" Besides, the medicine I prepared myself is excellent, and if I eat it and stay up all night, there is no damage, if it weren't for Ruan Youyi's out, there would definitely be no accidents, and now that there is new progress in the case, you don't allow him to tell me, doesn't it make me even more anxious and think about it?"

Jiang Zhiyu didn't have a problem with her after all, so he had to pinch her rosy cheeks with love and hate, "Just listen to it as a story." ”

Liu Ya hurriedly motioned to Yu Chi Qingqiao to talk about the new progress of the case.

"Princess Mo Xie should still remember the case you once detected, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xingyi's mansion, Ximen Qian, was murdered by Hao Ren! According to the name of the herb you provided, we have inquired about the medicinal herb shops in the city, and found that the person who bought those herbs was Ximen Qian's personal maid Qiao'er at that time, after Ximen Qian's death, Qiao'er went to serve by the female deceased Ximen Shan in the second case of the series, but after Ximen Shan's accident, Qiao'er disappeared. Yu Chi Qingqiao put down the tea and continued slowly:

"The suspicious thing is the military department Shangshu Mansion of the first case of the series and the Chang Wei General Mansion of the third case of the series, there are also maids who mysteriously disappeared after such an accident, they are all close to the female deceased, and then we used this as a clue to find out that the three female deceased had gone to a famous opera garden called 'Geluofang' three months ago to listen to the play——"

"Hmm, what kind of play?" said Willow Bud, who almost burst out laughing.

"Geluofang, the song of song and dance, the dill of smoke. Wei Chiqing Qiao said, "Haven't you heard of it? ”

Liu Ya was very melancholy, "As soon as I came to Beijing, I set up a case of killing the door in Yinshao Village, and once I got rid of the suspicion, it became the test of the six doors, and I don't know if I was unlucky or they were unlucky. ”

Yu Chi Qingqiao hurriedly got up and gave her a deep sigh, "You have worked hard. ”

Liu Ya was amused by his serious appearance, "Okay, okay, let's get back to the point." ”

"Geluofang is a noble business, there are small halls and private rooms in the main hall, different halls and boxes have different fees, there are all kinds of ancient and modern dramas, and some of them are arranged by the shopkeeper himself, the shopkeeper has also carefully investigated, he is a showman, his family background is average, he is from the miscellaneous boiled into a shopkeeper, and the rest of the flow of people is still in the screening stage. Yu Chi Qingqiao sat down again and said:

"This place is the territory of the Xi family, in the early years, Fan Datong's team ran to tease the little girl, and then the good son of the family set up a dead rule, whoever causes trouble will never be allowed to step in, but it has been supported by a group of nobles who like to wander around in that elegant place, called Fan Datong They have no way to make trouble anymore, so over the years, more and more girls like to go to the play to play. ”

Liu Ya secretly felt that the Xi family was also quite unlucky, the matter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was involved last time, and this time the serial case was involved again, she thought for a while and said, "Have you found out what is the connection between the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and the Mansion of the Marquis of Xingyi and the Mansion of General Chang Wei?"

"I have asked General Chang Wei several times or directly, but he always talks about him left and right, and then he is impatient and simply denies it, and other relevant records that can be found have not found any problems, but General Chang Wei's wife has frequently entered and exited the temple to pray for God and Buddha since her daughter suffered an accident, and now she lives in the temple, and she does not go home once in a few days. He said helplessly, "The Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and the Xingyi Marquis Mansion are still eating behind closed doors, and the matter of the maid is still the news that I finally bought it back from my own private treasury." ”

Jiang Zhiyu suddenly knocked on the table paradoxically.

Liu Ya, who had a deep groan, and Yu Chi Qingqiao, who was depressed, looked at him suspiciously.

"I have heard the old Lu Guogong say that the military department Shangshu and the Marquis of Xingyi and General Chang Wei have all been in the military camp of the Zhenguo Gong, but it seems that the days are not long, and it is before they mixed up, if I didn't overhear the old Lu Guogong joke that General Chang Wei fell into the quagmire and did not grow crooked, I am afraid that I don't know the past. Jiang Zhiyu drank the tea ceremony thoughtfully.

Yu Chi Qingqiao's eyes widened in surprise and joy, and Liu Ya said strangely, "What do you mean 'there is no crookedness in the quagmire'?"

"The barracks, there are always some old and smelly problems, along the way to the Qinglou restaurant to eat white food, plunder the materials of the surrounding houses, etc., and rob the women to serve as the military women's branch, it is not unprecedented, before the law has perfected the management of the barracks, there is a concentration camp for hooligans, especially the Fan family army is the most evil. Jiang Zhiyu said quietly, "The Fan family was very indulgent to them in private in order to make the soldiers fight for their lives on the battlefield, and those old and stinky problems derived from their loopholes were not gradually improved until the clear management regulations drafted by the Taifu and dozens of cabinet elders and the three justices before the death of the first emperor were introduced by His Majesty. ”

He bit down on three words gradually.

Liu Ya was stunned, but the first emperor did not expect that the girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, who was still heavily armed at that time, would become the queen, and Emperor Jiayi knew that 50% of the draft was implemented for the Zhenguo Mansion, and even launched it, was it really not an attempt to weaken the power of the Zhenguo Mansion?

"It's not easy to investigate this matter, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll thank you after the case is over-" After finishing speaking, Yu Chi Qingqiao slipped away.

Liu Ya was still amazed at his disappearing figure in an instant, so he listened to Jiang Zhiyu's Qin Lang voice that had been decorated with warm tea and said in a low voice, "Do you know that Ye Wang's biological mother, the Ning family, a famous military marquis for several generations, was 'indirectly' destroyed in the hands of Master Fu, who had just become the secretary of the military department, a 'mistaken belief in slander', and at that time, it was confirmed to him that the slandered imperial history had been corrected by the Nine Clans. ”

Although it was confirmed that he was only deceived, he still hanged himself in front of Concubine Ning's grave. ”

Liu Ya's heart trembled suddenly, as if a bone-eating coolness came up from the soles of his feet, and when he wanted to ask something, Jiang Zhiyu had already returned to his usual lazy appearance and yawned, "Oh, I squinted my eyes and got up before I woke up today, I have to go back to my room to make up for sleep, and call me for dinner." Before the words fell, he walked away freely!

"......" The messy Liu Ya was almost made auditory hallucinations by his appearance that nothing had happened!

**

At the same time, in the garden where Xinlan Court and Hsinchu Court are connected.

When Liu Yin finally suppressed her crazy heartbeat, she saw Xue Jinxiu sitting leisurely in the pavilion enjoying the flowers surrounded by the maids, a noble lady who was leisurely, thinking that she was going to give alms to the son of the soldier in a few days, and couldn't help but smile proudly:

"Hey, isn't this Cousin Splendid!"

Xue Jinxiu, who had just carried the pastry, raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "In the same year and month, don't go to my cousin." ”

"But it's a fact that you were born ten days later than me, and I won you from the mother's womb~"

"You're the one who gets old in the future, you like to win so much, don't you? Maybe it's you who went to report to King Yama first!"

"You!" Liu Yin grinned at her harsh and bared her teeth, "If you are in a good mood, you will not worry about this evil woman, just now my cousin took me to her and personally introduced the son of the Ministry of War to me, the real famous family is different from those fakes who try to fish in troubled waters, they are polite in speech and manners, and they also warmly invite me to be kind and charitable in a few days!"

Xue Jinxiu sneered disdainfully, "But the son of the Shilang Mansion, are you so happy?" Also, you came late and missed the banquet of the Lu Guogong Mansion, so you don't know that there are many nobles in Shangjing who can step on the head of the Shilang Mansion, please me, maybe I am willing to introduce (Shi) Shao (She) a few sons and daughters of the Shangshu Mansion Bofu Hou Mansion You know!"

"Bah, you want to climb the high branches, don't drag me into that shameless place! Who doesn't know that you just borrowed your cousin's east wind to attend the noble banquet, and what kind of arrogance you put in front of me? Just because you pretend to be like this, do you also want to make those princes and grandchildren look at you differently? I don't really see what kind of thing you are! My mother said, the noble family in Beijing is very good, look at the Jiang family is not willing to play with you, you will know that you must be a person who can't carry the table, you are a pheasant and want to stick a phoenix hair!"

Xue Jinxiu, who was poked into several sensitive death points steadily and accurately, glared at Liu Yin hatefully, "What kind of thing is the Jiang family! They don't want to play with me, and I'm not uncommon to have an intersection with them! You wait, I will marry a wishful man who tells you to kneel and talk to me in the future, so that the Jiang family also needs to curtsy!"

"Oh, the children of the two-legged Xungui family are everywhere, but the children of the Xungui family who are blind with two legs have never seen it!"

"You, you, you—"

Seeing that Xue Jinxiu and Liu Yin were about to fight with their teeth and claws, the maids were busy singing double reeds to extinguish the fire, and even coaxed and mopped the floor to pull Liu Yin away outside the pavilion.

Xue Jinxiu angrily swept away the innocent pastries and tea on the stone table, Liu Ya and Liu Yin, the two cousins, she was really disgusted, one pretended to be good all day long and pressed on her head, and the other was always full of feces and water to find her unhappy, obviously they were all businessmen, but they always looked down on her, as if she was inferior to them!

Damn it!

She stared at the hateful gaze of the pastries on the ground, and gradually became vicious.

**

Liu Ya thought about it and combed through the various deeds in her mind, and there were really thousands of little ants climbing and gnawing in her heart, so she couldn't help but run to Jiang Zhiyu's wing and squatted on the side of the bed to look at him who was really sleeping.

Jiang Zhiyu looks like his grandmother, his delicate and delicate facial features hang on his soft face, he is very good-looking, he always has a little bit of a ruffian when he is awake, but now he is like a sleeping moon elf when he is asleep, his long and thick eyelashes are cast on his white eye sockets like a fan, drawing thin shadows that flicker and dark, and the melodious and shallow breathing sound rises and falls smoothly.

When Liu Ya was still thinking about how to grind and soak, she suddenly felt that her arm was grabbed by a familiar big palm, and before she could react, she was pressed into a warm embrace, and the person who should have been sleeping was looking at her with a smile and eyes that seemed to have ten thousand kinds of brilliance shining in an instant, "You and I are not children anymore, Ya Ya's cousin, brother, and second brother are all brothers, should be changed?"

Liu Ya was so startled that the three souls and seven spirits slipped out in unison, trying to jump Di and calm down.

Jiang Zhiyu raised his eyebrows amusedly, "What kind of expression do you have?"

Liu Ya smashed her mouth with difficulty, "It's just unbelievable." "It felt like I'd been spilled with dog blood.

"Who doesn't have a few little cousins, if they don't like you, how can they be alone by your side?"

"......" seems to be true.

Jiang Zhiyu watched her shrink into a distressed and tangled little appearance, and as soon as the palm of her wrist was closed, he lay down sideways, supported his forehead with one hand, and swept her face to himself with the other hand, the tip of his index finger gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, and slowly swept her eyebrows, and laughed profusely.

Liu Ya's heart froze instantly, and she looked at him in a daze.

"Do you dare to provoke a man indiscriminately next time?" Jiang Zhiyu pinched the little fleshy face she had raised recently.

Liu Ya's little heart, which was tangled in her throat, fell back to its place, glaring at her cousin sadly and sadly, and sighed, "You scared me to death." ”

"Hmm, do I like you to be so scary?" Jiang Zhiyu's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Liu Ya hurriedly rubbed her cheeks and smiled flatteringly and pleadingly, "No, no, no, it's a great honor to be liked by my cousin." ”

"Do you want this great honor, then?"

"I just want to have a little bit of light on my future cousin. ”

"I hurt you in vain, but you dislike me and want to push me to other women. Jiang Zhiyu made the abandoned little daughter-in-law sad.

Liu Ya sat up on her legs that were still hanging on the side of the bed, "But cousin doesn't want to get married?" You are already double ten, not to mention the concubine, even if you have half a room, your aunt worries about it all day long!"

"Otherwise, you can solve your aunt's problems and marry me. He threw a sparkling wink at her.

"Cousin is still joking with me, isn't he?" Liu Ya made a serious face.

Jiang Zhiyu lowered his eyes to hide the thick self-deprecation in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he still looked like a ruffian, lying down lazily with his hands on his hands, and said as if surrendering, "Okay, okay, I won't trouble you." ”

Then he closed his eyes leisurely with an expression of wanting to continue sleeping, and said lightly, "King Ye's matter, you should go and ask him!"

"Cousin knows why he doesn't want to tell me?" Liu Ya resisted the urge to open his eyelids and pouted in frustration.

"I'm in a bad mood today. ”

Liu Ya said tentatively, "Were you bullied by a boss in the ya?"

"It's not. ”

"It's because I can't marry a daughter-in-law—"

"It's not that I can't get married, it's that I have no plans to marry a wife for the time being. ”

"Then why is my cousin in a bad mood today?"

"......" is not because of you!

Jiang Zhiyu felt that he was simply constantly using his life to interpret what is called cocooning and self-restraint, he sighed deeply several times, and remembered the oath he had made with the Du family brothers when he was a child. has always been Liu Ya's brother's agreement, almost so aggrieved that he suffocated a mouthful of thick old black blood, he became the companion of the King of Jin and had to stay in Beijing, and used this agreement to restrict the Du family brothers, but he didn't think that they would live as brothers in Liu Ya's heart, so that she never considered liking them from the perspective of love in the long years of growing up, and every time she was tempted, she was shocked by her overwhelm, and finally it could only end with a joke for the time being.

Although he was cowardly, he was even more afraid that she would avoid him from now on, and then gradually become estranged from him.

He leaned sideways to face the wall, "Yaya, cousin is really sleepy. ”

Liu Ya knew that if he didn't want to say it, no matter how hard she grinded and soaked it, it was useless, so she had to help him cover the quilt and leave.

**

The brilliant glow mischievously climbed the slightly open window cracks, and sprinkled into the study that was warmed by several braziers, Liu Ya lay on the chaise longue and looked at the books brought back from the West Desert, and fell asleep after looking at it.

When Yuzhu came in with a thick stack of letters, she gently helped her tuck the small quilt that only covered her stomach to her shoulders, perhaps because she didn't sleep soundly, and woke up at once.

Liu Ya rubbed her eyes and said, "Haven't they come back yet?"

"If you haven't returned, Miss can sleep a little longer. ”

Liu Ya shook her head and said, "Does my brother have a letter?"

"That's it. Yuzhu handed her the first letter of the stack in his arms, and his eyes flashed with pleasure.

Liu Ya opened it with a smile and took a look, "Brother is coming to Beijing?" After scanning the content at a glance and ten lines, she snickered and said, "Don't leak this news~"

"Yes. ”

She turned over some more important letters, and the rest were summarized and informed by Yuzhu, and only after the report was completed, she instructed: "If you are looking for a familiar way, it is good to pick a location in each market, and come back from the storefront of the Liu family's shop, the price is more expensive, I will keep it for other uses." ”

"Okay. ”

"As for those moth-loving ones, just keep watching. She wanted to see what new tricks they could play.

**

After the sky was ruthlessly engulfed by the last rays of light, Jiang Zhihua and the others came back with large bags of things.

Liu Ya and Jiang Zhiyu, who had eaten a bowl of porridge early to fill their stomachs, were already sitting at the dinner table waiting for them to take their seats, but after Liu Ya beckoned them to eat quickly, the eyes that were hanging down and planning to eat a dish were raised, and for a moment they looked at Jiang Zhihua and Mo Qiutong's faces with delicate makeup and frowned:

"I remember when you went out, you didn't wear that much makeup. ”

Jiang Zhihua's flickering eyes hung down weakly, "We went to the market to look for new gadgets and tried on new makeup when we passed by the rouge shop. ”

Liu Yahu looked at Mo Qiutong suspiciously, she hurriedly nodded in agreement, the thick powder on her face fell off a layer of powder, and then glanced at Mo Kaichan, as if he wanted to escape something, he almost buried his face in the small rice bowl and pulled desperately, making the bowl make a crisp sound of forced rubbing.

...... "How!Look!you!How!?!Why!?!!?!

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't bear to hold his forehead directly, "Knowing the painting, the old rules, frank (have) white (things) from (brother) wide (carrying), resisting (self) refusing (living) from (self) strict (extinguishing)." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhihua, who lowered his head, quietly exchanged a small look for the same party with Mo Qiutong, who also lowered his head, and then Jiang Zhihua drooped his shoulders and said, "That's what I said." After finishing the words, he took a deep breath before continuing, "When we went to Taohuatan, a few little sisters were already talking and laughing with some other nobles, and after joining, we learned that they were talking about King Ye and Ruan Youyi, very mixed little rumors, some said that they kissed their mouths, and some said that they often had trysts in the pool, some of the words were very ugly, we thought that they would leave the place of right and wrong with He Nerd and He Xiaomei, who happened to come. ”

But at this time, Qiu Liying rushed over like crazy and slapped a little sister's face, leaving a shocking bloodstain, He Xiaomei was afraid of seeing blood, and if she was afraid, something would happen, and the whole convulsions fell to the ground, Kai Chan hurriedly reached out to bite her to prevent her from self-harm, at that time Qiu Tong was standing on the other side of He Xiaomei, Qiu Tong wanted to help her when the accident happened, but the panicked He Xiaomei hurt her cheek, and left two marks, I was anxious and angry and wanted to find Qiu Liying's theory, how she pointed at my nose and scolded me for spreading rumors and slandering her cousin, and waved her hand and fanned me, I hid quickly, but Qiu Liying learned some strange tricks from somewhere, and the nails of the other hand were pulled one after anotherWhen He Nerd dragged me away, she still asked her to hurt my face. ”

"Many girls reacted, seeing Qiu Liying so fierce, they were all scared to cry and scream, scream and scream, and make a mess, but we have a little sister from the General's Mansion, and when she went up, she scuffled with Qiu Liying, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, Qiu Liying is not her opponent at all, and when she was beaten and her nose and face were swollen worse than us, I was angry, and I wanted to pull them away in a meaningful way, how did I expect King Ye and Ruan Youyi to come. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhihua snorted heavily, "Qiu Liying, who was arrogant before, turned into tears in an instant, crying and pointing at us to bully her, so many people present were clubbing, her fingers pointed at me and said that I slandered Ruan Youyi, where could I hold back the anger in my heart, and said something ugly, and then Ruan Youyi cried. ”

"She also sobbed and said, 'I know that you misunderstood the events at the banquet in the Lu Guogong Mansion to avenge your cousin like this', she clearly and secretly means that I spread her rumors for the sake of you, I am sorry, this dumb loss, I am not happy to fulfill their pair of poisonous flowers from the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"I said, 'Come on, what kind of thing are you, is it worth my effort to be so concerned, the wind and rain in the city have nothing to do with my minister's mansion, no matter how much dirty water you splash, you can't pollute us for half a point, if you have time, take care of your mad dog-like cousin, her 'bite' injury, I will care to the end', and then left, we waited in the Lu Guogong Mansion He Xiaomei's condition was stable, and the imperial doctor saw the market where the injured party went, and came back with an embarrassed face for fear that Yaya and his brother would worry, so he went to the rouge shop to change his makeup, trying to cover the traces on his face. ”
