The two of them were about to say goodbye, when they turned around and suddenly saw a long, gorgeously dressed woman standing at the entrance of the lobby. Ning Xianglou's receptionist hurriedly greeted her, approached her, and asked softly: "Are you causing something, Miaomiao girl, how can there be people in the public gate looking for you?"

The girl did not speak.

Tang Yu saw that Miaomiao was about twenty-four or five years old, with a gorgeous appearance, bright teeth and red lips, a tall and straight nose, and two big black and white eyes. A pair of jade pendants under his ears. Wearing a lotus-colored long skirt and a yellow silk belt, the symmetry of the chest and the slenderness of the waist are more visible. Her long, jet-black hair was tucked back and a delicate jasper hairpin was inserted on it.

After Miaomiao heard this, a pair of black beads couldn't help but glance over here.

This glimpse shocked Tang Yu's heart!

He fixed his mind, looked at it again, and was not surprised. Could it be that I was mistaken? Why did this wonderful look so similar to the girl who lived in a humble room she had met last time in the slum in the north of the city? If she had been given a gorgeous coat and changed into a cloth coat at this time, she would have been the same person as the woman?

Miao Miao came over, stood in front of her, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and said, "Two big brothers, you came to the door during the day to summon the little girl, but did I commit anything wrong?"

"We are looking for you to find out a little bit about the situation. Others stand aside for the time being. ”

Xiang Jincheng was tall and big, with a steel knife in his hand, a belt at his waist, and a heavy dantian standing there roaring, and the people in Ning Xianglou didn't dare to move when they heard it. Obediently exited the room.

Miao Miao didn't seem to be afraid, she talked and laughed as usual, and said, "What do you want to ask, you can say it." ”

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Tang Yu always couldn't get rid of this matter.

"Nope. ”

"Really?"

"Why should I lie to you. Miaomiao smiled, looked at Tang Yu with a pair of big shining eyes, and said: "My family is in northern Jiangsu, and there was a famine this spring, and everyone in my family starved to death. I was the only one who escaped......"

"We'll find out about it. Tang Yu kicked the brick floor aimlessly with his toes.

Xiang Jincheng couldn't hold it back, and said: "I ask you, you have to answer truthfully, if you lie, you will be severely punished." Where is that 'Variety' now?"

"Which 'variety'?" Miao Miao was slightly shy.

"He spent so much silver on you, a full five thousand taels, you don't remember!"

Miaomiao turned around, sat down on the stool, picked up the fan on the table, and fanned it leisurely. She stared at the two of them with a smile, and said, "The two official brothers, there are more sons and grandsons who spend money on me, is this not surprising? Which one of them came here is not a rich man, who is well-dressed and generous. 12,000 is just a small amount of money, even 30,000, it's not uncommon, it's just 5,000 taels, where do you let me go up and remember?"

"We're asking for a confession, be serious. Xiang Jincheng also sat down on a drum-shaped porcelain flower stool, waved his hand, and intercepted Miaomiao's high-minded talk: "Gossip less, go back and talk about the case......"

When she heard this, she suddenly laughed out loud.

Laughing wildly.

Xiang Jincheng sat there, his face embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Miao Miao laughed for a while, covered her mouth with a fan, and asked seriously: "Brother tolerance, can you tell the little girl that you have visited a brothel?"

"What are you talking about?"

Xiang Jincheng's face was purple and swollen, and even his neck became a little red, and he spoke: "We are dignified officials, and the people are fast, how can we do that kind of thing!"

"Is that true?"

"There can be fakes. ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved. Miao Miao smiled and said: "I have a sister named Cuicui, that is, the girl in the hall with a pointed chin, a little thin body, and freckles on her nose. dragged mud and water, and later made an IOU of 100 taels of silver, signed and drawn, and still has not repaid it - this matter has nothing to do with you, then I will let Cuicui cry out tomorrow with the arrears slip in response to the lawsuit of Tianfu......"

"I've been here twice, but it's all for investigating cases and maintaining law and order. ”

Xiang Jincheng's face turned pale, and he argued: "Because the official family has discipline and must strengthen secrecy, he can only be questioned separately...... I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense, keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I will arrest you immediately, and not only will you go to jail, but you will also have to pay a fine!

"Say it or not, what are you afraid of?" Miao Miao was lightly angry and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. ”

"It's not about nothing, it's about maintaining a positive image of the catchers. ”

Tang Yu stood for a long time and moved his body. Seeing that Xiang Jincheng was sweating on his forehead, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, stop talking here." Sister, the 'variety' we are looking for is a person who can carve jade, can copy and frame calligraphy and paintings, of course, he also has some other surprising skills, although my sister says that there are many people, but if you can have such skills, you must not leave a little impression, think about it carefully?"

"You're going to have to say no and it's over. ”

Miao Miao glanced at Tang Yu with a not unreproachful eye, and said lightly: "How do I know what his name is 'Baichang', he said that his surname is Jin and he is the owner of an antique shop?"

He pointed to the jade hairpin on his head again: "This hosta is still the ...... he gave me."

"What about others?"

"I stayed here for a while, and I left twenty days ago without saying goodbye. ”

"Where did this man who claimed to be surnamed Jin go? Did he say that?" Tang Yu complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, after he left, did he leave anything behind?"

Miao Miao raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "You guys wait." He got up and left his seat, and went up to the second floor. After a while, he returned, holding a blue cloth bag in his hand. She descended the stairs to the two of them and placed her bag on the table. "That's what he forgot, see for yourselves?"

Xiang Jincheng looked at the blue cloth bag and couldn't help asking, "What's inside?"

Miao Miao shook her head.

"I don't recognize either. ”

Tang Yu had a layer of doubts in his heart, and when he saw that Miaomiao's expression was sincere, not like lying, he stepped forward to untie the blue cloth bag. Inside the bag was a black and silky mass. Tang Yu picked it up, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Brother Xiang, come and take a look, this is very similar to the object we found in the 'Flower Rain Small Building' in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion?"

When Xiang Jincheng heard this, he also pinched one, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Leopard tendon, it's leopard tendon." Then he turned his head to look at Tang Yu, and showed a strange look: "In that deserted ancient house, here, this extremely elastic, tough, and inexplicable leopard tendon has been found, is this just a coincidence?"
