Suspect in Jinling

At noon, when the sun was shining, Yufu’s car was parked majestically on the street, with a chrome-plated bridle, a black leather roof, and bright sheet metal, because it was sometimes used by female relatives, and there was a small bright yellow color on it. flower knot.

Kuang Jian stood at the gate of Yu Mansion, his black clothes were scorched hot by the sun, but he was as motionless as a mountain, as if he didn't notice, he just looked at the lintel of Yu Mansion with a fixed and complicated expression.

As a person who witnessed how Kuang Jian was kicked out by the Yu Mansion just now, Xiao Qi looked at his face and asked in a low voice anxiously: "Captor Kuang, isn't there another mansion on the trip list of the Tribute Court? Are you going there?"

But Kuang Jian didn't move, he maintained the same posture, frowning, looking very troubled.

Sometimes when there are too many cases, people will intuitively know whether they are close to the truth. Kuang Jian recalled the details of the conversation with Yuyue, and he can be sure that Yuyue lied: he must not have gone to the examination room, but he used his own The appearance of arguing about the marriage doesn’t look like he’s been to Mingfo Tower. There must be something missing. Kuang Jian quickly coiled clues in his mind, trying to connect the missing truth, but he tried hard to think a few things. Finger snapped, but still got nothing.At this point, the good-tempered Catcher Kuang also closed his eyes in annoyance, raised his head and complained:

"Why did the Yu Mansion give birth to such a powerful little girl?"

If she hadn't come out halfway, Yuyue would have been put down by now. Now that Yuyue is prepared, if she asks again, she might not be able to find out.

It is estimated that these two people have been standing at the entrance of Yufu for a long time. At the wonton stall at the entrance of Yufu, an old woman suddenly responded to Kuang Jian: "Hey, so to speak, isn't this little lady of Yufu just with you? It's different from other places!"

Seeing someone responding, Kuang Jian turned her head quickly: "What should I say?"

The aunt is over 40 years old, and she looks like the age who likes to inquire about the parents and relatives of hundreds of people.Kuang Jian walked over directly, sat at her booth and asked for two wontons first, the auntie smiled when she saw his handsome young man, immediately opened the wonton curtain and started heating the pot.

"Auntie is still setting up a stall here at night?" Kuang Jian asked proactively.

The aunt replied heartily: "I won't be here at night, I want to go home to take care of my grandson, and I will leave after noon!"

Kuang Jian was at a loss, knowing that it would be impossible to inquire with her about Yufu's trip last night, so she could only ask: "You said that this young lady in Yufu is different, why is it so different?"

The aunt let out a "ha!", and said loudly: "This young lady of the Yufu is so pushy, why should I say it? Haven't you heard of Xi?"

Kuang Jian's expression flashed with embarrassment, suspecting that the aunt had misunderstood his identity.

Fortunately, this aunt didn't really want to hear his answer, as if she was helping to introduce, she was serious and eloquent: "She never learned to be a female worker since she was a child, and loves painting. Master Yu invited many good and bad painters to teach. Always pretending to be his elder brother to go to school, when he was just this tall," the aunt compared, she should be about ten years old, "that little man was dressed in a boy's bun, his face was painted black, and he came out with a bag every morning Eating wontons, I always thought it was her brother! If she hadn't been debunked halfway through the provincial examination, no one would have known that she had gone to school for her brother for so long!"

The news was simply a shock.

Kuang Jian stared, "She goes to school for her brother? And takes the exam for her brother?"

"Yes!"

The aunt's expression was exaggerated: "I heard that she almost won the first prize!"

Kuang Jian paused.

In an instant, an extremely bold idea flashed in Kuang Jian's mind after the exam, the tribute court, Liu Lier's calligraphy and painting, and castration.

Kuang Jian asked: "Is this girl so talented?"

"Written talent?"

The aunt curled her lips: "It's useless for a girl to marry someone who is talented in literature! However, people in Yufu are often said that the sons and daughters are reversed. The elder brother is weak and weak like a girl, but the younger sister is lively and lively like a boy. Apart from her love of painting Painting, and also loves to play polo, I learned it for her brother when he was in school, he played wildly!"

Kuang Jian restrained her unrestrained thoughts, afraid of thinking too far, and asked back: "I heard that the son-in-law of Yufu is the son-in-law chosen by the Marquis of Fengcheng? How is his conduct in private?"

"Which one is the Marquis of Fengcheng? The old woman doesn't know, she's not from the east of the city!" The aunt made wontons out of the pot with quick hands and feet, and while holding a sea bowl for Kuang Jian and the other two, she kept saying, "But the old woman Looking at my brother's honesty, it's just that his knowledge is poor, not to mention his character! But when it comes to being in the limelight, he is definitely not as good as his younger sister, and it was four or five years ago that Xiao Nizi took the exam for him. In the three months after that, countless people came to propose marriage to Xiaonizi. It was really a hundred families. The young masters of the Li family, the young masters of the Pang family, the immediate superiors of Lord Yu in Jinling City, and even the matchmakers of Su Guogong outside Jinling all appeared. Go through the door, that door, tsk tsk tsk..."

Kuang Jian was very suspicious that the aunt regarded herself as the suitor of the young lady of the Yufu, and this talk was brought to her marriage with great enthusiasm, but hearing her talk so eloquently, Kuang Jian was really curious, Asked: "Then who hugged the beauty in the end?"

For such a powerful little girl, he wants to see who is lucky.

"Hey, you'll be mad if you say that!"

The old woman glanced at the small flag beside Kuang Jian, and suddenly she had nothing to say, she turned around swiftly, and went to tidy up the cutting board.

Kuang Jian: "???"

Xiao Kuang was puzzled for a while, thinking that the question and answer were not fluent?Ma'am, what is the meaning of this?

At this moment, the sound of beating horses suddenly came from outside the entrance of Yufu Street. Kuang Jian raised his eyes and saw Jiang Xingzheng, dressed in a bright and colorful flying fish brocade suit, coming at a galloping speed. Immediately stopped chopsticks, apologized to Kuang Jian, and ran over to salute, Kuang Jian watched the person who got off the horse talking, looked at her side frequently, thinking about Jiang Xingzheng's quick ear report, and here he is, The old woman on the side moved to his side at some point, and said leisurely: "That's the person, he is the one who talked about the marriage of the young lady of Yufu."

Kuang Jian was stunned for a moment: "You said...Jiang Xingzheng?"

The old woman pursed her lips in a strange way: "The Poyang Jiang family is a giant merchant. If you make a move, you will get a dowry gift of [-] yuan, and you can give it to the princess. Whoever is not tempted!... I have blinded the door of the Yufu for nothing, and I have nothing for you. I was blinded by the many matchmakers in the mansion at that time, and they couldn't choose a businessman with their eyes closed, but Lord Yu just picked the worst one among them! Good little girl, bang, marry a businessman's wife!"

Auntie knows too much news, and it's overwhelming to tell people one by one.

Not knowing how the little flag reported back to Jiang Baihu, Jiang Xingzheng got off his horse and strode towards Kuang Jian.

"Why is Catcher Kuang here?"

Kuang Jian looked up: "The Tribute Court found the travel list of Yu Mansion, I'll come here and ask."

"Is there a problem with the Yu Mansion?" Jiang Xingzheng looked down at Kuang Jian, his temples were unruffled, and his eyes were motionless.

Kuang Jian met that gaze with the same expression as usual: "Not yet, but Mr. Yufu said that if he wants to inquire again, he will have to get a warrant from the town government secretary before he will speak."

Jiang Xingzheng straightened the embroidered spring on his waist, coughed lightly, and rebuffed in a deep voice: "Don't bother, the town government secretary has already found out the suspect, and Fu Chunsheng, who took the exam in Beijing this year, is a major suspect. This case is hereby concluded, and what happens next Please don’t meddle in the headhunting.” After saying that, without waiting for Kuang Jian’s response, she swayed, walked across the streets and alleys, and entered the gate of Yufu.That Xiaoqi glanced at Kuang Jian apologetically, and then followed into Yufu.

"Hey!"

The old woman grunted, and looked dissatisfied at Jiang Xingzheng's overly rigid golden-orange cloud brocade flying fish suit: "The donated official is so majestic, it really is that he has wooed a noble family, and even his tone has changed !"

The sun was shining brightly, and when it turned to noon, it illuminated layers of scorching halos in the mid-air of Jiying Lane——

What Kuang Jian was thinking of was not Jiang Xingzheng's rudeness, but that this person had always kept his voice in a reserved voice, even when he was challenged by Tianfu at the beginning of the month, he had never shown such hostility. Why is he so nervous today?

Because of the fiancee?

Kuang Jian got up to settle the wontons, nodded slightly towards the aunt, and then walked quickly to the opposite direction of the street.

Hu Ye was castrated, he didn't think about it before, he just thought it was out of jealousy that his rivals killed each other, but now a thought that he never had before began to take shape: what kind of jealousy would make a man go so far as to castrate his own kind?What if the murderer wasn't a man?

The eunuch's assumption is too ridiculous, so could it be a woman?A woman who is a bit timid and behaves outrageously, a woman who is not satisfied with the marriage at home and likes a woman. She goes to school for her brother, can pretend to be a man vividly, and can also go in and out of the sixteenth floor. She is familiar with the Gongyuan area and understands the Gongyuan. To all the hidden alleys in Jiaofolou, she has a gender advantage. You don't need to hijack a prostitute if you like it. You just need to encourage her to escape. She is bold, literate, and has a noble status. She is favored by the patrol father and obedient Brother, and his fiancé who has a servant in the town government, even if he has an arrogant personality, he will not easily attract suspicion...

These are what a person should look like, unexpected and undefended.

Just after Kuang Jian left, Jiang Xingzheng came out of the Yufu with a gloomy expression on his face. The golden orange Yesa was thrown into the air by his big flying strides. He saddled the horse with gloomy eyes, as if As if making up his mind, he turned the horse's head ruthlessly, whipped it away, and Xiao Qi, with the mole on his eye, dared not make a sound, and ran with his horse's hooves at a high speed, until he ran out of Jiying Lane, and there was no one left.

Another cup of tea, in Huifu Lane in the west of the city, a pigeon fluttered to the window of Shaxiangyue planted with bluegrass. Grind it into powder: "Don't worry, the crisis has been resolved, and the case of the Zhenfu Division will be closed soon."
