I want to do research even if I have no money

Back at the scene of the Ningxiang Pavilion crime, the literati in blue asked Situ Lan to watch over him, but he went to investigate the scene again.

In fact, he didn't like Situ Lan, so he could imprison Situ Lan as a suspect who "behaved suspiciously and disturbed the scene". Now that the fifth prince is about to enter the court to listen to the government, it is really inappropriate for these scandals to occur.

So in the end, the literati in blue could only let him go.

"My lord, look at this scratch," the subordinate's voice pulled the blue-clothed literati back from his thoughts, "This is caused by firearms, ordinary weapons can't make such a mark."

"The depth of this mark almost cuts off the wall, and the incision is neat... Looking at the blood on it, it should be that the deceased was standing in front of the wall. The murderer cut off the body of the deceased with a fire mechanism, so the blood splashed on the wall. Only then will there be such traces.”

The blue-clothed literati touched the cracks on the wall with a sharp weapon. A fire mechanism that can cause such scratches must have made a lot of noise when it was activated, and the people around didn't hear it?

"No, according to what the old bustard said, every time the deceased came here before he died, he would clear the place and take the whole floor. There used to be guards guarding it, but recently they didn't let the guards follow in. Last night, there was a singing and dancing performance on the first floor here, saying It’s a rich businessman celebrating his birthday, and it’s very lively, and the noise might have covered up this place.”

The literati in blue: "Who is the rich businessman? Have you checked?"

"I've checked, my surname is Lu, and he's also a frequent visitor here. He celebrates his birthday here every year. There's no doubt about it."

"My lord! My subordinates have asked all the fire mechanism shops in the capital, and they all said that they have never heard of such fire mechanism appliances, and no fire mechanism master has admitted to making them."

The literati in blue looked around. The whole room was almost stained red with blood. The white walls were covered with blood, and there was also blood on the bed. It was also the first time to see such a bloody scene.

"Have you found the luthier and her maid?" the literati in blue asked.

"Not yet," the subordinate replied, "I'm afraid the corpses will be destroyed too?"

"Issuing an order to block all exits from the capital, we must strictly check all people who leave the city, especially those who have experience in making fire mechanism equipment, fire mechanism masters, and traders..." The literati in blue said, "Also, regardless of life or death, find the The famous luthier and her maid!"

The news that the new garden of Chengning Villa will be completed early next year and open to tourists soon spread throughout Yangzhou Prefecture through the guards of the depth of field. The expectation of the garden is raised to the top.

But Depth of Field, who silently contributed strategies and manpower to this end, was lying on the bed because of the cold and fever.Not far away, a white puppy was whining and whining towards him, trying to break through the shackles and run to the side of Jing Shen.

Jing Chun grabbed the back of the puppy's neck with one hand, and rested his forehead with the other, "What's wrong with this puppy? It makes me feel like I'm going to kill you... I've never seen such a small dog who still protects its master."

"Cough cough...you cough cough cough...don't grab so hard! cough cough cough...be careful you hurt it..." Jing Shen struggled to get up on the bed, and was watched by Bai He, a powerful doctor and audience I pressed it back.

"I know, I can do it well, I can't hurt it...don't get up, just rest." Jing Chun directly hugged the puppy with one hand, "let this puppy go to my side first, so as not to be caught You're infected."

After Jing Chun finished speaking, he looked down at the puppy with black eyes open in his hand. The puppy was brought back by Jingshen after only one full moon, saying that he would bring him back to Beijing in the future.

Jing Chun himself didn't have any idea about it. There were more cats and dogs in the palace, and there were foxes and hedgehogs. He was no stranger to it.Only this little dog looks like nothing at first glance, but when you look closely, you find that its eyes and expressions are exactly like the little master of Chengning Villa.

In particular, the little black hair under the left eye of the puppy is simply the finishing touch. It is exactly the same as the tear mole under Situ Meng's left eye. No matter how awkward he looks, he always has an illusion, as if his younger brother brought the owner of the manor with him. It's like being home and raising...

Of course, it was impossible for him to say this idea.Anyway, they are going back to the capital soon, when the mountains will be high and the rivers will be long, in another three or two years, his younger brother will definitely forget about Situ Meng.

A few days ago, they received a letter from their mother and concubine in the capital, in which they were asked to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and they had already made arrangements, and they were about to bid farewell to this place in these two days.

Originally, he and his younger brother Jing Shen came to Ningshan County for the purpose of praying for the queen mother who was seriously ill and comatose. Prince Jing Chun.

However, Ji Wanjun refused to come out of the mountain, and made a promise: not only the second prince's faction, no matter who it is, even if the current emperor himself came, he would not come out, let alone assist anyone.

Although he didn't get Ji Wanjun's support, he also got his promise to help no one. The task was half completed, and the queen mother had already woken up, so it would be meaningless to stay here——

If he leaves for too long, the net laid by Jingzhong will become looser and looser. At that time, all his family members will run away, and he really doesn't have to go back.

Jing Shen was very surprised when he heard the news that he was going back to Beijing early in the morning. He struggled to get out of bed, "I want to go out... cough cough cough... I... I want to say goodbye to the annoying ghost!"

Jing Chun gave the viewer a look, and the viewer tapped the acupuncture points on Jingshen's body, Jingshen was completely frozen, and was carefully laid flat on the bed by his brother, and covered with a quilt.

Jing Shen couldn't move his body, but he could still speak, "Let me out...I want to see him! Brother! Please!"

"Don't beg me, who was the one who went to the beach to play in the water in the cold weather, and came back with a cold and fever? Let you do it! Regret it!" Jing Chun folded his hands and sat by the bed, saying don't look at it. Me, I'm cold-blooded and heartless.

Jing Shen used a crying voice, "Brother, I was wrong... cough cough cough cough... just let me meet him and say goodbye to him..."

Jing Chun looked down at his sick and "weak" younger brother, but his heart softened, "It's impossible to let you go out. You have already suffered from the cold and can no longer blow the wind. But I can go say goodbye to him for you, is that okay?"

Jing Shen didn't speak, and Jing Shen's eyes were full of tears.

Jing Chun sighed, "Don't pretend to be wronged, tell me, what are the conditions?"

"He is my only friend. Since I can't say goodbye in person, then we will write letters to communicate in the future, and we will use the royal secret express channel, the kind received on the day the letter is sent."

"..." Jing Chun suddenly felt that he had dug a hole for himself, but the hole had already been dug, so he could only jump down, "Yes."

"It's so boring in the palace. Brother, you're going to get married after you go back, and I'm the only one left...I want to bring all the scriptures written by Sun Xiucai back to the palace to relieve the boredom."

"can."

"Mengmeng is still young and tired of traveling and traveling, and I don't know if he will get motion sickness. I want to install a special seat in the car so that Mengmeng can sit comfortably and lie down comfortably."

"...Yes." Jing Chun didn't know if the puppy could feel at ease, anyway, his heart is not so at ease now.

Jing Chun and Gong Juren went to Chengning Villa together, Situ Meng went out, and the person who received them was replaced by Situ Li.Situ Li used to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and worked with the Second Prince for a period of time, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.

Both of them are smart people, and they directly opened the skylight to speak brightly.Jing Chun said that the mission of the two brothers to Ningshan County has been completed, and now they are going back to Beijing, let him tell Situ Meng.

Situ Li nodded to express his understanding.

When Jing Chun and Gong Juren were about to leave, Situ Li suddenly asked, "Do you want to tell Menger when you left?"

"No need." Jing Chun said.

The next day, Situ Meng slept until he woke up naturally as usual, and when he got up and had breakfast, he learned from his uncle that Hei Niuer had left Ningshan County and returned to the capital.

"This...has he left?" Jing Shen stopped his chopsticks and looked at his uncle expectantly, hoping to hear negative news from him.

"At this time, I'm afraid we have already arrived in Yangzhou." Situ Li said calmly after taking a sip of the hot porridge.

"I'm full, you go ahead! I...I have to go out first."

As Situ Meng said, he ran to the stables, pulled a horse casually, rode out of the villa, and chased after him along the official road.

Jing Shen sits on the train locomotive, the window is foggy and the sun has not yet fully risen, he hugs Mengmeng and looks at the station, always feeling that Situ Meng will appear in the next moment.

However, until the train locomotive started, the station was still empty.

Situ Meng rode on the official road for a long time, until the horse was tired and stopped, then he dismounted from the horse, looked at the direction of the capital from a distance, and said silently: "I wish you all the best."

Situ Meng pulled his horse and walked slowly back to the villa until it was getting dark. Situ Li was worried and chased him out to find him.

"Uncle." Situ Meng raised his eyes. He drank half a bowl of porridge all day today, and he has no energy left after riding a horse for so long.

"Let's go back." Situ Li picked up his nephew and put him on his horse, tied the reins of the two horses together, half ran and half walked, and returned to the villa before the night was completely dark.

"Master, where have you been today? Master Zeng from Yangzhou Mansion asked you to order a locust killer...Why does the young master look so bad?!"

Situ Li: "It's okay, let the kitchen make a bowl of ginger soup, and when it's done, take it to Meng'er's room."

"Oh... well, I'll go now!"

Situ suffered some wind and cold, and lay in bed for two days. On the third day, he opened his eyes, and the sunlight came in through the paper window, and the whole room was warm.

He touched his forehead, the fever had subsided, and he got out of bed.He didn't call the servants. After getting dressed, he fetched water to wash himself, arranged the bedding, opened the door, and the long-lost sunlight shone on him. He stretched himself, took a few deep breaths, and sighed. He took a deep breath, smiled and said to himself: "Come on!"

Everything in the manor was operating as usual, and the tenants and scattered farmers continued to farm; several households of scattered farmers signed fixed tenant contracts and became official tenants of Chengning Villa; The work that should be done; Sun Xiucai continued to write story books in his spare time; Na Chuanshu chef and his young apprentice were still researching new dishes in the kitchen; the workers who built the garden continued to build; the system in the bronze mirror continued to issue new tasks ...

The presence or absence of the black girl seems to have no effect on the manor.
