Yan Niang looked at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry, and her eyebrows frowned slightly: Zhong Zhiqing's case has now been transferred to Dali Temple for handling, why did Xin'an Mansion overstep its bounds and rush to find out Zhong Zhiqing's escaped subordinates?
Although that person tied up Cheng Muyou's father and son on the boat, with Cheng Muyou's temperament, it was impossible for him to be pretended for personal reasons, so he had to be arrested in order to vent his personal anger.
Thinking of this, the doubts in her heart that had not dissipated surged up again: If Zhong Zhiqing wanted to destroy the evidence of the crime, he could kill Du Zhiyong, so why did he take another step to rob Cheng's father and son?
The reason why he did this must not only be because of the salt ship, there should be other reasons, and the reason why Cheng Muyou wants to find his subordinates now must be for the same reason.
Only, what is it exactly?
Thinking of this, Yan Niang walked quickly towards Jihong Embroidery Village, came to the dining table, gently touched Xun'er's head, and then grabbed the right ear that was still feasting, and pulled it under the grape trellis.
"Girl, if there's anything to do, I'll talk about it after I'm done."
The right ear hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and complained to Yan Niang dissatisfied.
"When you're done eating, you'll be over the three hills."
Yan Niang said as she threw the square handkerchief into her right ear arms, "Wipe your mouth clean and help me find someone." ” "Now?"
"Now."
"Who's that man?"
"Zhong Zhiqing's subordinates, but hurry up, don't be preempted by Shi Jin."
One day half a month later, the autumn was high and cool, Xun'er stood in the courtyard of Xin'an Mansion, with one hand behind him, making an old pedant, shaking his head and reciting a poem: "One heavy mountain, two heavy mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, and the acacia maple leaf is dan; Chrysanthemums bloom, chrysanthemums are remnant, goose flies are not returned, and a curtain of wind and moon is idle. ” Seeing that he read such a poem so correctly, Cheng Muyou couldn't help but say, "Does the gentleman in the academy still teach you this?"
” Xun'er stopped and turned to look at her father, "This is not what my husband taught me, I just listened to Yan Niang's occasional recitation, and I remembered it in my heart."
She also said that she knew the person who wrote the lyrics. ” Cheng Mu Youqi said, "Miss Yan said that she knows Li Yu?
” Xun'er nodded, "Yes, she said that everyone else said that Li Yu was a cowardly and incompetent person, who only knew poetry and music, and didn't know anything about governing the country, but she actually misunderstood him."
Yan Niang said that although Li Yu was the king of the dead country, he had a tenacious personality, and he had recruited soldiers and resisted with all his might, but in the end, due to the disparity between strength and weakness, the army was defeated like a mountain, which was much stronger than Meng Chang in Nashu. ” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou was surprised at first, then thought about it, and laughed self-deprecatingly: What kind of person is she, even if she says that she knows Emperor Qin and Han Wu, he will not be strange now.
Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, the father and son were talking, suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the door, not long after, I saw Jiang Xixi with Yan Niang walked in, both of them had smiles on their faces, in the afterglow, it looked extraordinarily gorgeous.
"My lord, Miss Yan has sent something to Xun'er."
Seeing that the father and son were both there, Jiang Xixi smiled and rushed to Cheng Muyou to clarify the purpose of Yan Niang's visit.
Cheng Muyou raised his eyebrows, "Send something?"
Recently, this kid has been going to Xiuzhuang more and more times to eat, how embarrassed Cheng is to ask for the girl's things again. ” Yan Niang glanced at him, "I gave it to Xun'er, not to you, how can an adult refuse for someone?"
Speaking of this, she took out a sachet from her cuff and stuffed it into Xun'er's hand, "Oh, see if you like it?"
” Xun'er saw that the sachet was very delicate, so she happily held it in the palm of her hand and sniffed it, "It smells good, what does Yan Niang put in here?"
” Yan Niang smiled at him, "It's nothing more than some magnolia incense, which can be scared of the wind and cold, promote the lungs and nose, and it is the most suitable to wear in autumn." ” Jiang Xixi took the sachet over, "The girl is really careful, the adults and I didn't expect it, the girl actually thought of it," Speaking of this, she glanced at Cheng Muyou meaningfully, "Xun'er is really a blessing, he can be next to the girl, if in the future, his relationship with the girl can be closer, then" Having said this, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, Shi Fei hurriedly walked in from the outside with sweat on his face, and saw that Yan Niang was also there, so he forcibly suppressed the tension on his face, and only walked quickly to Cheng Muyou's side, muttering something in a low voice.
Seeing this scene, Yan Niang bowed knowingly, "My lord still has important things to do, then I will leave first," After speaking, she looked at Xun'er again, "The crab in the fish pond is fat, and Ming'er's right ear is going to be remade with a clam stick, can you remember to come here." ” Xun'er nodded excitedly, took Yan Niang's hand and walked out, and said in a mixed voice, "I'll send Yan Niang out, I'll send Yan Niang out." ” Seeing the backs of the two disappear at the end of the corridor, Cheng Muyou suddenly put away the smile on his face, turned to look at Shi Fei, lowered his voice and asked, "You just said that Zhong Zhiqing's subordinate has been found?"
” Shi Fei nodded heavily, "It's good that the person has found it, but the subordinates have found a corpse, and it has long been stinky, and it should have been dead for half a month." ” "Dead?"
Jiang Xixi couldn't hold back and blurted out these two words, "How did he die?"
” Shi Fei's face was quite embarrassed, "When I found him, his body was already rotten and blackened, and there were no obvious injuries on his body, so I couldn't see the cause of death."
But one thing is certain, that he was neither poisoned nor hanged, for in either case the appearance of the body would have been revealed. ” "It wasn't strangulation, it wasn't poisoning, and there were no external injuries," Jiang Xixi touched his chin and muttered softly, "My lord, what exactly was he injured by?"
” Cheng Muyou's eyes were far away, and there was a look on his face that others couldn't see, "It's not important, what matters is who killed him?"
What was the purpose of his killers?
” Speaking of this, he looked at the two of them who were contemplating and said softly, "You two go first, I still have some things to deal with." ” Shi Fei and Jiang Xi were stunned for a moment, hurriedly rushed to Cheng Mu to salute, and walked out of the courtyard one after the other.
When he got outside, Jiang Xixi pinched his chin and said to himself, "Until now, I haven't figured out why the adults have to find that person, and only let a few of us go to find someone, so that no one else knows, so mysterious and secretive, it always makes me feel that this matter is not simple." ” Shi Fei patted her on the shoulder, and laughed twice, "If you don't understand, don't think about it, anyway, we will do what the adults order, and the rest, even if you guess it, don't mention it to others, it will cause more accidents." ” Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, "Incident?
What will happen?
” Shi Fei sighed lightly, shook his head at Jiang Xixi and smiled, and walked towards the corridor without saying a word.
