Rong Chen lowered his eyes, his expression still looked soft, he waved his hand gently, the guard understood his gesture and continued to protect Jiang Lao.

Soon after the dark guard left, a figure entered in Beishen courtyard.

Huaiqing walked in a hurry, coming back from the outside, the skirt was blown by the night wind, and it smelled of charcoal fire.

Rong Chen was writing when he knocked and entered the study.

Huaiqing looked at his back sitting on the armchair and whispered: "There are seven charred corpses in Shen's mansion. The emperor is afraid that they will feign death and exonerate. Maid, the two little servants, you can't go wrong with Mrs. Shen and her daughter."

Huaiqing's feet trembled when he thought of the scene where a living person was being swallowed by the fire. Looking at the lamp hanging outside, her eyes were not right.

Seeing a dead person always shakes my heart.

Before the case, Rong Ming's writing hand took a long time, but he didn't turn around, "Where are they?"

"they?"

"The seven dead bodies."

His voice was cold, and the wind was strong today, the sky was dark, and he draped on his shoulders. There were no fluctuations in his eyes. People died and lived indifferent.

"The maids were taken by their families." Huaiqing paused, "Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen are guilty of crimes alone. No one is willing to spend the money to lead them back. I heard that they were directly taken over by him. The civilian husband took it to the stone forest in the west of the city and was buried in mass."

"Go to the farmer who guards the stone forest and ask where the mother and daughter are."

When Huaiqing asked about the whereabouts of the dead bodies, Huaiqing was vaguely aware that something was wrong, and after hearing Rong's instructions, she finally shuddered uncontrollably.

Find out where and what you can do with the body.

He didn't dare to think carefully and didn't dare to ask more, he closed the door and went out, before closing the door, and glanced in.

Rong Lu was still writing before the case, and the ink drop on the tip of the pen dropped on the paper, slowly drenching it on the rice paper, his pupils seemed to melt away from the ink.

Perhaps he had seen Rong Chen holding a knife, but now that he was writing, Huai Qing was also inexplicably jealous.

Holding a knife is like holding a pen, and the actions are exactly the same.

Too gentle.

...

After Jiang Lao returned to the mansion, he asked some old mothers in the mansion and learned something about Xie Xiang.

Xie Xiang was not only a concubine in the Prince Xiang's Mansion, but also an only daughter. There was no concubine brother or sister, only a concubine brother.

Since Xie Xiang was born, her body and bones have been poor. The older she gets, the more illnesses she suffers. A few years ago, fortune tellers said that the word "xiang" in her name was too hard. It was changed to the word "xi" without leaving the house. Xie Xi is now in her twenty-eighth year, and it is the time to be in her boudoir.

Xie Xi is weak and does not leave the house. The only time she will go out is when she goes to Guangli Garden with her mother, Xu Xie's sister, Xu Lanying.

Guangli Garden opens every two days and is located on the east side of the Qinhuai River, on the same side as Jiang Lao’s shops.

Jiang Lao has often been in the shop these few days and sent an informant to Guangliyuan to inquire about it. Once he saw the Xie family come to the Liyuan to listen to the drama, he came to her and let her pass.

She knew that she had no strategic means, and could only start from such a small place, hoping to get something useful from Xie Xi and Xu Lanying.

Even if you can't get it, you should go to Guangli Garden and listen to a few plays to relieve your boredom.

It's not a loss.

She was staying in the shop that day, and the eyeliner arranged on the Liyuan side happened to come with Hu Tang, and Jiang Lao went to Guangliyuan with her.

On the stage, the sound of gongs and drums gradually started.

Hu Tang is not a man who can settle down and listen to the drama.

The troupe had only acted for half of the stage, and her eyelids went up, and she was stunned by the sound of gongs and drums on the stage. She shivered and became energetic, and bored her fingers around the tea cup.

She looked at Jiang Lao on the opposite side, and saw that her gaze was not on the stage. Following her gaze, she seemed to be looking at a table of mothers and daughters on the west side of the second floor.

There are three floors in Liyuan. There is a stage in the hall on the first floor. On the second floor and the third floor, there are all guests sitting around the railing table. They are on the third floor, occupying the best sight.

Hu Tang saw the mother and daughter sitting on the second floor.

"Isn't that Princess Xiang and Xie Xiang?"

"Xie Xi." Jiang Lao corrected.

Mother and daughter Xu Lanying watched the theater alone, and did not talk to others. Jiang Lao didn't see anything useful, so he turned to talk with Hu Tang.

"I'm used to reading it." Hu Tang murmured, and immediately after listening to Jiang Lao's words, he changed, "Xie Xi."

Jiang Lao smiled, and Hu Tang held her cheeks to look at her, "Why didn't you see your brother following today?"

"He was locked in the college and went to study."

Jiang Lao was a little worried about Jiang Jinxing.

Her father suddenly changed his laid-back temperament and began to act vigorously.

After talking with her grandfather half a month ago, her grandfather wrote an invitation the next day, and it was played to Emperor Zhaowu, who asked for the golden seal of knighthood, and passed the title to her father.

And her brother became

The eldest son in Bofu.

Thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at his every move, and he definitely couldn't mess around as usual.

Even though his younger brother was carrying a small burden on his back in the past few days, and crying in her room with tears, Jiang Lao had changed his heart to "see death without saving."

Learning is learned through hard work. He can't stand the suffering of today, so he has to suffer from the suffering of the future.

Fortunately, avoiding the whip of today, it is easy for a while, and the whip from tomorrow's life will only come more ruthlessly and less mercilessly.

When Hu Tang heard that Jiang Jinxing was locked into the school, he straightened back with some horror, "It's pitiful."

Jiang Lao looked at her shrunken appearance and thought about her presumptuous act of stealing Xiexi's booklet, and he could think of what she looked like in a girl's private school when she was a child. He couldn't help but curl his eyes and shook a small fan to cover her face. On the laugh.

Hu Tang seemed to know what she was thinking, "Don't look at me like that. I learned something in the school before. I grabbed Xie Xi's book once, but she was afraid when she saw me and offered it to me. ."

After the small group fan, Jiang Lao smiled more strongly, and softly responded "OK".

On the stage, the actors with heavy makeup were still singing.

A pair of resentful eyes stared at the actor's colorful costumes, his face gloomy.

The seventeenth prince, wearing a cyan brocade dress and a white velvet crown, sat on the table on the second floor on the same side as Jiang Lao. It happened to be the blind spot of Jiang Lao and Hu Tang's line of sight.

The person sent by the 17th prince came back and put his ears in his ears, "His Royal Highness, can't get close to her, someone is protecting her in secret."

The seventeenth prince slammed his fist on the table, shaking the tea in his cup.

According to the arrangement of his mother's queen, Rong Chen and Chen Congyun should have been married. From then on, under their control, no more wind and waves could be revealed.

Who knows the imperial decree given by his father to the marriage, but Jiang Lao pointed out the marriage to Rong Chen.

The granddaughter of Ning'an Bo’s family and Concubine Yun’s most dear granddaughter... Such a background is more than enough even if it is said to him. If it is said to be disabled...why?

His mother and queen didn't know what she was afraid of, but she actually agreed with this matter, so she didn't dispute it at all!

The seventeenth prince had a sullen face.

There was a little movement on the first floor.

The play singing on the stage was "Wu Gang's Fighting Gui". As soon as the actor who acted as Chang'e came out, she was pulled by the sleeves of a fancy dude and told her to be unable to dance or sing.

The **** next to the 17th prince looked down and looked at the bully’s behavior. His expression changed. He reminded the 17th prince: "There are so many people here. Here, you will be rewarded."

"Who's the son of the troublemaker?" The seventeenth prince tapped the tea cup, thinking about it.

It would be worthless to offend the people on his grandfather's side for the sake of this moment.

At this moment he hesitated, someone had already thrown the long whip on the dude bully, and his skin was spattered in an instant.

The bully changed his hand to pull the sleeve of "Chang'e" on the stage. He glanced back and saw a young girl. He didn't pay much attention to it. "Little girl, don't be nosy, what's the proper way?"

"Grandma aunt never knew what decency is." Hu Tang's whip rose again, "Are you going to let go? If you don't let go, I will send you to my father to feed Saibei's dog!"

Knowing Hu Tang's identity, the man didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and strayed away.

The Seventeenth Prince saw the storm calm down in a blink of an eye, his eyes darkened.

The **** next to him saw that his gaze was stopped on Hu Tang, and he did not move away. He said, "Your Majesty, don't look at her to look up to the scenery. This girl is too capricious and rude. Even if her father is General Hu, she is afraid to marry. stay home."

The eunuch's tone was full of words that he wanted him to learn from, and the seventeenth prince withdrew his sight, lowered his eyes, and his sight blocked by the shadow revealed full envy and eagerness.

Jiang Lao blinked, and Hu Tang disappeared in front of her. She trot down the stairs to the second floor. Hu Tang had already cleaned up the troubled bully, which made Jiang Lao not know that she should go down. Instead, he went straight back to the third floor and waited here at the corner of the second floor. Hu Tang quickly came to her with an unhappy look. He looked down at the whip in his hand and sighed, "Why is this person so unbeatable?"

Hu Tang's maid's face changed in fright, and she frowned and said, "Girl, be careful of your upper body."

Hu Tang didn't take it seriously, and walked upstairs without turning his head with the whip, "You will have fun once you live."

Jiang Lao took out some silver taels from the purse hanging on his body, and asked Ming Shao to go down to find out who the troublemaker was today, which meant that Hu Tang would clean up the mess.

Then he returned to his original seat on the third floor.

When I went back, there was an indigo figure beside the table.

Jiang Lao took a look and was surprised, "Miss Chen?"

Chen Congyun retracted his gaze, smiled faintly at her, and blessed his body.

On the contrary, Hu Tang is not here anymore.

Chen Congyun saw Jiang Lao looking for Hutang and said, "Girl Hu was found by the owner of Liyuan."

Jiang Lao nodded, and said in greeting, "Why is Miss Chen here?"

"I've always loved to come here to listen to dramas, but for the first time, I saw

Ginger girl. "

Jiang Lao nodded again and asked Chen Congyun to take his seat. Soon after Chen Congyun took his seat, he pointed to the second floor and said to Jiang Lao: "There, Princess Xiang and her daughter."

Jiang Lao raised his eyes, his eyes slightly wary.

Chen Congyun said: "Princess Xiang has only one daughter, but she has no children. When she first married to Prince Xiang's mansion, she was as glued as she was like Wang Xiang, but she didn't have a son. It’s not easy to get married. Princess Xiang has not had a good life these years."

Jiang Lao wondered why Chen Congyun said this to her, but he listened to it instead.

Chen Congyun's voice became even lower.

"Princess Xiang hates Guozhang Xu for marrying her to Prince Xiang's mansion, but let her sister enter the palace. In recent years, her relationship with Guozhang Xu has not been good. She is angry, and her body is getting worse and worse. "

"Why Miss Chen told me about this?" Jiang Lao couldn't help it anymore.

"You helped me last time." Chen Congyun looked grateful.

Jiang Lao shook his head, earnestly and sincerely, "Although I am helping you, I have done a good job myself."

Chen Congyun smiled, "No wonder Hu Tang, who doesn't look up to anyone, can play with you."

He was so obedient to make people want to have such a daughter in the future.

She smiled and said softly: "Tomorrow, I will take a break. My mother and I are going to Xiao Banpo for a walk. Would you like to join me? The Spring Festival there is the earliest, and you might be able to meet it."

Jiang Lao thought for a while and was silent for a while.

Seeing Jiang Lao hesitate, Chen Congyun lowered his eyes, "I have been restrained by my family since I was a child, and I have no other friends."

Jiang Lao's expression became a little guilty, "But...I have made an appointment with Hu Tang, and I will go to Sanqing Temple to offer incense tomorrow."

Xiao Banpo and Sanqing Temple are not only two places, they are separated in two directions from the south to the north of the city.

Hu Tang happened to be back here. She heard Jiang Lao's response to Chen Congyun's words, her expression was astonished, and she almost blurted out "When did she say it was good?"

Why doesn't she know?

But when he received Jiang Lao's eyes, he closed his mouth and nodded towards Chen Congyun, and somewhat domineeringly stopped Jiang Lao and Chen Congyun, "That's right."

In order to thank her for her rescue, the boss of Liyuan gave her a peacock feather fan that she used to sing.

Chen Congyun was a little regretful, "Then I won't bother much."

She took a few steps away and looked back, then sighed softly.

Jiang Lao and Rong Chen have made a kiss. If she can get closer to her, it may be beneficial to the third prince, her future husband.

Last time she was embarrassed and pitiful, Jiang Lao directly took her back to the Nuan Pavilion of Shuxiang Palace. In her crystal clear eyes, the sympathy and kindness from the heart can not deceive people, making her think she has the slightest heart. None, it will be very close.

She thought she had seen people through, she was a little selfish, and deliberately approached.

Unexpectedly, I missed it by myself.

Chen Congyun lowered her head with regret. She really likes Jiang Lao's temper that doesn't hurt others but doesn't give others the opportunity to hurt her own temper.

After she left, Hu Tang asked Jiang Lao, "Why didn't you agree to her?"

"I just don't want to."

Jiang Lao said quietly.

Her impression of Chen Congyun was not bad, and she even felt sorry for her, but their identities were indeed embarrassing.

She was accused of marriage to Rong Chen, and Chen Congyun promised the three princes in the future. Whether the relationship between Rong Wei and the three princes is close or far, their relationship can be far or near.

When she was in the academy, she never felt how good the relationship between the third prince and Rong Chen was.

Sometimes he even feels that Rong Chen's relationship with his third brother is not as good as with her. What she saw, when he saw his brothers, he always had a little fear in his eyes.

Jiang Lao knew that she didn't have enough experience and not enough scheming.

Since Chen Congyun said that her father used her as a **** since she was a child, she must have been instilled in many strategies since she was a child.

Asking her to compete with this kind of girl is like letting her compete with Hu Tang.

Whenever Chen Congyun wanted to lie to her, she was afraid she would not be able to tell.

It would be better to just cut off Chen Congyun's chance to lie to her.

Jiang Lao couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It's really not easy for someone like her to be less intelligent and courageous.

Hu Tang was happy, "You are not married, but you really put yourself in the position of the wife of the Ninth Prince."

Jiang Lao was drinking tea and choked a little.

Although she had never regarded marriage as a big matter, she had a subtle feeling when she was mentioned by Hu Tang.

Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog?

seems like it.

She herself was amused, "That's how it should be."

Hu Tang tried his lips, "Since you used me as an excuse to block Chen Congyun, then you can't go back, and you will accompany me to the Sanqing Temple tomorrow to offer incense."

Jiang Lao couldn't help her entanglement, so he had to agree.

The two went to the Sanqing Temple to offer incense, and it was noon when they came out of the main hall.

Hu Tanghuan

The fan with the peacock feathers she got yesterday was shining brightly and looked very beautiful.

Jiang Lao saw that the feathers on her fan were messed up by the wind, so he stretched out his hand to help her straighten it out.

Hu Tang smiled, happier, "Year, you like me so much."

Her eyes smiled into the last quarter of the moon, "Chen Congyun, her name, my mother is so bad in my ears that she is good in everything, and I am inferior to her in everything, but you did not walk with her, but you are not as good as her. I'm here together."

Jiang Lao was infected by her smile, and he also laughed. He was about to say something to her. Yu Guangzhong saw the person in a wheelchair waiting under the stairs, and he couldn't help but move his eyes in that direction.

People who hadn't seen her for more than a month after he decided to kiss, looked sadly at her and Hu Tang, and even looked eagerly and slightly blamed.
