26. Seeing that winter is approaching, the wedding date of Zhang Shilun and Miss Shen is imminent, and Zhang's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

On this day, thinking of picking out some congratulatory gifts for Zhang Shilun, Qu Gao called Zhong Lijun and went around Dongshi.

After picking out the gift, I happened to pass by Changle Fang, I haven't seen Zhu Yan for some days, the two entered the door, but I heard the girl tell Zhu Yan that she had gone to Changsha for more than a month, it is said that there is something that she must go to in person, Qu Gao thought to himself: This sister-in-law will not stretch out her hand to Changsha again, right?

Just as he was about to go home, he suddenly saw Shen Yi drinking alone, Qu Gao was overjoyed, and stepped forward to greet him: "Ah Yi is drinking, why don't you call him brother?"

As soon as Shen Yi saw Qu Gao, he looked flustered and terrified, but he had always dared to speak, seeing that there was no one around, Zhong Lijun should have been Qu Gaoxin's benefactor, puffed up, and asked Qu Gao: "Brother Qu, did Ah Yi ask Qu Gao for help a few months ago and ask Brother Qu to help dissolve my marriage contract with the Lu family?" Qu Gao nodded "um", and Shen Yi said again: "I remember that Brother Qu also asked me about Lu Lijian, yes or no?" Qu Gao knew that he was suspicious and nodded again.

"Sect Master Lu was assassinated, my marriage contract with Lu A-Ning was canceled, and Lu Lijian also disappeared, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that this matter should be related to Brother Qu. Shen Yi said cautiously, he actually believed in his heart that it was Qu Gao's doing, ordinary people did not have the courage to assassinate the sect master of a clan, and Lu Ning had insulted Qu Gao, with Shen Yi's understanding of Qu Gao, he would take revenge. But when he said it directly, he was afraid that Qu Gao would deal with him together, so he took a step back and said.

Qu Gao couldn't see through his careful thoughts, but Lu Wending didn't die at his hands, Qu Gao just snatched Lu Li's sword with Wang Shou. He knew that Shen Yi was weak, so he pretended to shout: "Qu Gao is a dignified husband, dare to be a man, Lu Wending's death has nothing to do with me, Ah Yi is talking nonsense!" After saying that, he got up angrily and left.

After getting into the carriage, Zhong Lijun drove in front, and when he passed by a deserted path, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, when I investigated this case a month ago, I found several clues, all of which showed that this case was committed by my uncle. Then he said: "But my uncle said no, then Jun'er must have made a mistake." ”

Qu Gao asked in the car, "Can you report these clues to General Li He?"

"No, I didn't. Zhongli Jun said.

This Zhong Lijun, who is usually dull and carved wood, followed Qu Yanping to learn a useless righteousness, originally thought that he didn't know how to be flexible. Qu Gao smiled and said: "Since you found out that I did it, why didn't you report it to General Li He, bending the law for personal gain, and forgetting your father's usual teachings?"

Zhong Lijun replied calmly: "Etiquette and morality are used to restrain others, not to restrain one's own people. Jun'er didn't dare to forget her uncle's teachings. ”

"How did it end?"

"Taishou hastily closed the case and ordered no more investigations, Jun'er thought that Taishou was to protect his uncle, but now it seems that it is not. Zhongli Jun sighed. Qu Gao listened and chuckled: "How could Taishou offend the Lu clan for me. ”

Out of the alley, there were more and more people, and both of them stopped talking, Zhong Lijun secretly pondered Qu Gao's words, Taishou would not offend the Lu clan for him, so who else would it be for? The Lu clan was already a high-grade scholar clan in Xiangyang City, could it be that the perpetrator had a stronger power background than that? Suddenly, I thought that in the testimony of the little er, there was also a person, an extremely handsome son. The son who is familiar with Qu Gao and can be in front of Qu Gao without losing his color is, the head of the jade-faced king!

If it was him, Taishou would indeed have a reason to do so.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhong Lijun's heart knot for months was finally untied, he thought that it was Qu Gao's doing, although he had been hiding it, but his heart was always chaotic and complicated, and he always felt ashamed to be a soldier when he faced that military uniform every morning. He was extremely disgusted with those filthy officials and tyrants, but he also did such a cover-up, and as a soldier, he felt ashamed.

He thought that Qu Gao would take the initiative to find him to understand the case, and then ask Qu Gao for clarification, but Qu Gao has been accompanying Zhang in the house every day for more than a month, not only not going out, but also not inquiring about the progress of the case, as if this matter has nothing to do with him. Now that he learned that it really had nothing to do with Qu Gao, Zhong Lijun relieved his heart, and secretly regretted it: Uncle treated me very well, why should I doubt him? Even if he killed someone, so what? Help him hide it, where do you have so many thoughts?

Back home, Zhang was chatting with a gentle girl, the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, seeing Qu Gao come back, got up and looked, her face flushed, and her shy face showed affection, and Ying Ying said: "Concubine Cui's Azhi, I have seen Lang Jun." Qu Gao nodded and replied lightly: "You talk, I'll go to the house first." ”

Before he took a few steps, Zhang followed and asked, "What does the master think of the Cui family?" Qu Gao replied casually: "The manners are decent, the appearance is not bad, and she has the demeanor of a family girl, but the clothes are plain, and the door of the house should not be too high." Qu Gao said this, not because of Cui's intention, but only out of etiquette and praise. But Zhang's didn't sound like that, her delicate little face showed a red smile, and said: "It's good that the husband can see it, this is the new maid in the house this year, I saw that she was good-looking, so I asked my father for it, thinking of taking a concubine for the husband." ”

Qu Gao was stunned, Zhang's family wanted to take a concubine for himself? Then he reacted, and said lightly with a cold face: "Nonsense! You are about to give birth, how can I have the heart to take a concubine!" Zhang raised Qu Gao's arms, lowered his eyebrows, and muttered shyly: "Shiqi knows that the husband treats me very well, and also knows that the husband is a big husband, but now that Shiqi is pregnant, she can't wait for her husband, and she doesn't want her husband to linger in a place like Changle Fang all day long. ”

Qu Gao knows Zhang's thoughts, it is common for a family like hers to have a group of wives and concubines, but in Qu Gao's consciousness, marriage should be from the beginning, just like his parents, who have been together for most of their lives, and their feelings are still happy. He doesn't like a big family like the Zhang family, his brothers and sisters are not born to the same mother, and they rarely interact with each other on weekdays.

Gently hugging Zhang's family, Qu Gao's eyes flowed, and he said slowly: "Shiqi Mo is making trouble again, Qu Gao is enough to have you alone in this life." As for Changle Fang, Shiqi was misunderstood, but it was just a place to drink. Listening to these words, which were as soft as water, Zhang's heart suddenly felt warm, and she habitually buried her head in Qu Gao's thick and strong chest, and smiled happily.

The two of them talked to me for a while, and Zhang suddenly pulled out and exclaimed, "Then how is the Cui family settled?" Qu Gao asked, "What did you say to her?" Zhang said: "I haven't explained anything yet, I want to wait for the husband to meet and be satisfied." The corners of Qu Gao's mouth raised, and he looked back at the pretty figure under the corridor who was pacing restlessly, and said with a smile: "Jun'er is almost sixteen years old!"
