The Golden Hairpin

"What's the big business for you tomorrow? The prince wants to ask you specifically."

When Huang Zixian followed Zhou Ziqin to Daningfang, Zhou Ziqin asked her suspiciously.

"Oh, it's something at the court." Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't go. She thought silently in her heart.

Zhou Ziqin was quite envious, and said, "Chonggu, you are really amazing. There are really very few people who can get along well with King Kui."

Huang Zixian nodded and said, "Wang Kui is very talented and too capable. Working around him will naturally be under great pressure."

"That's right, at the beginning of this year, he did not go to the mountain to worship his mother for half a month. The imperial court was almost in chaos, and dozens of people were found in various yamen who could not stand him. In the end, the emperor had to make an order to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Huang Zixian, who had seen Li Shubai handle affairs in various yamen, was deeply impressed, silently nodded, thinking in her heart, living alone in the world should always have something to love, but Wang Kui seemed to know everything, and nothing seemed to be interested. . I don't know if this person lives in the world, what can arouse his interest?

Thinking left and right, it seemed that the only one who stayed with him for a long time was the little red fish. I don't know what important things are related to this little red fish? Even the current emperor has clearly stated that he can't intervene, it must be a great secret that can overwhelm the world.

However, a small red fish raised in a glass cup, a small life that can be easily pinched to death with two fingers, what secret can it hide?

She urged her horse to follow Zhou Ziqin, and suddenly remembered the man she saw in Tai Chi Palace that day.

Standing next to the man in the window, in the fish tank, there was a small red fish like blood. Although she was far away and couldn't see the shape, she always felt a little strange--

I always felt that Queen Wang deliberately called herself into the Tai Chi Palace, and there seemed to be some connection with this man who looked at her in the distance.

Langya Wang Family... Wang Yun.

Thinking of the situation when he met him last time, she felt that the situation she faced was more complicated and chaotic, and she was simply overwhelmed.

The things she has to deal with now are the unjust cases of her parents and family, the identity of the invisible people arrested by the four seas, the important task of ordering the Queen to help her return to the Daming Palace, and the headless case of Princess Tongchang...

Also, Yu Xuan, who reunited unexpectedly, and Wang Yun, who had already exposed her identity.

She felt her head ache deeply, sitting on the horse in a daze, and even the hand holding the horse's rein began to not listen.

But Zhou Ziqin stopped his horse suddenly and said, "Wang Yun."

She gave a "um", and subconsciously said: "Wang Yun is also a trouble..."

At this point, she suddenly woke up, Zhou Ziqin looked at her confusedly, while Wang Yun was riding a horse, slowly walking from the other side of the street.

The summer night was cool, and a transparent ink blue enveloped Chang'an. Wang Yun walked towards them. Before the ink blue sky, his expression was calm and gentle, still the big brother like a spring willow.

"Chang'an is about to curfew, where are the two going?"

His voice was gentle, as usual, with a hint of smile before his words. His eyes slid over Zhou Ziqin's body and fell on Huang Zixian's body, his smile deepened obviously, and the curvature of the corners of his lips also looked particularly beautiful.

Huang Zixia remembered what he said and what he did last time when they met. Looking at him at this time, his smile is as clear as the moonlight of Changan, she can't help but rise with a little resistance and fear, but she can't express it, she can only silently. Bow his head, avoiding his gaze.

Wang Yun urged the horse to come to her, lowered his head and asked her softly, "Are you going to investigate the case again?"

She bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.

Zhou Ziqin hurriedly said next to him: "The king Kui told us to go with him. The king still has a handwritten handwriting, you see..."

Wang Yun glanced at it and said with a smile: "If something like this happened in Daningfang, I'm afraid it will be unstable there. I'll go with you."

"Great, I know Brother Wang is the most enthusiastic." Zhou Ziqin said excitedly, "Chonggu, don't you think?"

Huang Zixia nodded.

Wang Yun walked side by side with her, seeming to accidentally mention: "Tomorrow will be a good day, Zhang Xingying will report to the Division."

Huang Zixia quickly said, "Thanks to the help of Prince Wang for this matter, I will be thankful for another day..."

Wang Yun smiled and said, "You can also come to our Beijing Defense Department tomorrow. Zhang Xingying will surely be like a fish in the water and have a smooth life."

"Okay, I like to go to your place to eat rice!" Zhou Ziqin immediately became energetic, and when he talked about eating, it was an excitement. The next one is Yushitai. Every time you have to preach and preach the imperial enlightenment, do you say that? The most difficult thing to swallow is the Dali Temple. The walls of the dining room are white painted, and they are all laws. Either beheaded or hanged. , Or exiled for three thousand miles! And the most favorite meal, of course, is your defense department, there are many young people, the tastes are also close, the acquaintances are more lively, and it is happier than eating at your own home! And ah, you guys The cook, I've seen her, the second-best craftsman woman in Beijing!"

Wang Yun smiled and said, "I don't know who is the first one?"

"Of course it is Brother Zhang's undocumented wife, she is simply a master chef!" Zhou Ziqin exaggeratedly exaggerated.

Wang Yun smiled and said: "Really or not, even the master chef in the restaurant for decades can't compare to a little girl?"

"This is not what I think alone. King Zhao and King E said so. Chonggu, what do you think?"

"Well, such as hibiscus flowers. Girl Adi will definitely take off the calyx one by one and remove the ruined petals. But the restaurant may ask people to prepare them first, and then grab a handful of petals and throw them in when they are used. There may be many petals. It's not new anymore. In this respect, it is naturally that Adi girl has done better."

Huang Zixia nodded in agreement, but at this moment, something flashed in her mind, and her whole body was suddenly stunned.

She suddenly remembered that when they were drinking hibiscus flower soup at Zhang Xingying's house that day, King E saw that strange painting. His strange expression at the time, until now, makes people feel that something is wrong.

But when she thought about the content of the painting, she felt even more shocked.

Three groups of graffiti are painted. The first group is the appearance of a person who was struck by lightning and burned to death; the second group is a person who died in a besieged iron cage...

Unbiased, almost exactly the same as the two murders in this case-

Is this just a coincidence?

And the third one, the person who was pecked to death by Luanfeng who descended from the air, what did it indicate?

Luanfeng...

In Huang Zixian's mind, for some reason, Princess Tongchang quickly emerged.

She stood on the high platform, telling her dreams. She said, Nan Qi Shu consort Pan Yu'er, came to ask for her nine-luan hairpin in her dream.

Nine Luan Chai...the people who died under the nine-luan Chai.

Huang Zixia sat on the horse back, only in a trance for a moment, but she already felt a burst of cold sweat from behind her, making her almost unable to sit upright.

"Chonggu, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yun's voice rang in her ears. Because of her shaky figure, he grabbed the rein of her horse and helped her stabilize the sand.

Huang Zixia calmed down, waved away his ominous associations, and said, "It's nothing... the naivety is a bit dark, and suddenly I can't see the road in front of me."

She raised her head. There was a low wall in front of her. Two faded lanterns were hung in front of the square with the words Daning written on them.

The three got off their horses at Daningfang, Zhou Ziqin saw Wang Yun also followed, and was a little surprised: "Brother Wang...doesn't need to patrol the workshops tonight?"

"In a place as big as Chang'an, if I were to go alone, wouldn't it be exhausted sooner or later?" Wang Yun smiled, "In fact, I usually go back after a few turns. I happened to meet you today. I haven't seen the public investigating the case yet, it's just an eye-opener."

"The corpse has been carried to Yizhuang a long time ago. What else is there to open up? Next time I have the opportunity, I will examine a corpse to show you." Zhou Ziqin said as he showed Li Shubai to the veterans in Shoufang. The written note took them to Sun Laizi’s house.

"The **** Sun Leizi was originally called Sun Fuchang. He was called Sun Leizi because he was covered with sores and dysentery. He had no brothers or sisters, and his family had few contacts with him. In addition, his parents passed away a few years ago and now live alone. In the dilapidated courtyard at the northwest corner of Daningfang."

Zhou Ziqin led them along the square wall. There was a row of narrow bungalows in the northwest corner.

Zhou Ziqin stretched out his hand and carefully peeled off the seal. Obviously he didn't do this once or twice. The entire seal was peeled off intact. He pushed the door open, and the room was closed for a long time. There was a musty odor mixed with rancid smell and various other messy smells, which made people feel nauseous.

Zhou Ziqin came prepared, had already taken out two cloth strips sprinkled with **** and garlic vinegar, gave Huang Zixia and Wang Yun one each, pinched his nose and said, "What kind of smell is this... It's still mixed with unspeakable discord, it is more stinky than smell!"

Wang Yunmeng was wearing that kind of cloth, and the expression on his face was also uncomfortable. Obviously he was not used to the smell, so he solved it and said, "I won't occupy your things, this is still for..."

Before he could finish his words, he stopped silently, hesitated for a moment, and returned Bu Meng. Across the cloth, he vaguely said: "Zi Qin, Chonggu, you are really not easy. The smell and the fragrance are indeed true. Something more unpleasant than mere smell."

Zhou Ziqin asked in surprise: "What fragrance?"

"Did you not smell it?" Wang Yun frowned slightly, even if he was covered with a cloth, he waved his hand in front of his nose twice unconsciously, "Ling Lingxiang."

Huang Zixian asked in amazement, "In this broken house... there is Lingxiang?" She covered her nose and mouth before entering the house, so she had never smelled it.

"Yes, Linglingxiang." He said with certainty. "Although it is very light and mixed with various odors, I have quite a lot of experience with Xiangdao and I will never make a mistake."

Zhou Ziqin frowned and said, "Ling Lingxiang is very precious, how could it appear in such a broken house?"

"It's very strange, but I shouldn't make a mistake." Wang Yun said affirmatively.
