talk about the case

The grandpa received the woman in the side hall, the woman bowed to the grandpa and lifted the pink veil, only to see that the mountains in spring were clear and the water in autumn was gloomy, and her face was shrouded in heavy clouds. .

She wept and said, "My lord, the little girl is Huang Lianlian, the youngest daughter of the Huang family of the Ministry of War. I hope you can save our family." Then she knelt down, and the lord quickly helped her up.

"Grandpa, it's very offending to disturb you late at night." She took out a letter and gave it to him, "This is a secret letter that my father asked me to give to him."

The grandfather hurriedly opened the secret letter, which read:

Ouyang Taigong kisses

Two months ago, a man in black sneaked into my house, held my son with a knife and threatened me to transport a batch of iron essence to the smelter for refining, but I had no choice but to agree on the surface.After all the formalities were completed, I wanted to send someone to inform you after he left, but he was intercepted and killed halfway, and even killed one of my wife's maids, hung him in the room, and wrote in big blood-red characters, Blood massacres Huang's family!I was terrified all day long, and dared not speak.Afterwards, I paid special attention to these iron spirits, and they were safe and sound, and I was too afraid to tell them, until last night, when the man in black came again, and my child hanged himself!Because the thief poisoned my child and wanted to threaten me to work for him again.

Grandfather, I hope you will try your best to catch the murderer and bring him to justice, and explain to my child that I will also admit my crime and be punished for my mistakes.

Huang Qixian

Huang Lianlian wept under her lapel, "I'm sorry that my younger brother passed away before he reached the crown."

The grandpa quickly read this letter and couldn't help but feel sad. The dead Huang's child was named Huang Shangyang. "Miss Huang, don't worry, I will uphold justice for the Huang family." Huang Lianlian nodded.

"In addition, what is the appearance and figure of the man in black?"

"My father said that he was wearing a mask, but he was tall and thin. I don't know if anyone in the family has been poisoned. I hope the grandfather will save us."

"It's getting dark, Miss, rest here first, and I'll make a long-term plan." A maid came and took Huang Lianlian to the guest room to rest.

The Grand Duke gave the letter to Yan Queqing to read, but Yan Queqing didn't know what happened, so he opened the letter inexplicably, and naturally read it with Xiuran next to him.

Li and Xun sat behind the two of them, watching their heads touching each other, sparks flashed in their eyes, oh oh oh, they made contact.

Only the calm Kun found out that his young master seemed to have read the letter with his husband.He bowed his head and thought.

After reading the letter, the two exchanged it with the grandfather, but Yan Queqing said, "Will that man in black be ugly?"

Taigong took the letter and handed it to Yuze, saying, "I'm not sure about this, so it's not too late. I'll go to Huang's Mansion and ask carefully."

Yan Queqing expressed that he wanted to go with him, so he and his grandfather disguised themselves as servants and went to Huang's mansion to find out more details.

The two left without disturbing the high-pitched hearts of the others. Only Xiuran laughed when he saw the bustling scene. After thinking about it, he followed Yan Queqing and the grandfather. He felt that the end of the case was more complicated than that The guards were much more fun hanging out.

Yan Queqing was changing Xiaosi's clothes, looking at Xiuran who was following, he was a little stunned, covered his two points, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't knock on the door."

Xiuran looked at Yan Queqing generously and said, "You're alright."

Yan Queqing sighed, he didn't light an oil lamp, he changed clothes very quickly with the help of the faint moonlight, and the door was open since everyone was outside, it wasn't a girl, they were all men anyway, forget it, put your hands down and take care of yourself change clothes.

Xiuran looked at Yan Queqing's half-naked body, and suddenly remembered what Xun said about Mr. Ruyu, and thought it was very appropriate. Looking at it, the white jade suddenly turned into a sackcloth. He turned around and went out to look at the moon. Today's The moonlight is darker.

Soon after the Taigong and Yan Queqing were ready, they set out for the Huang family.

When he arrived at the gate of Huang's mansion, the grandpa raised the handle and knocked lightly. Because it was relatively late, no one came to answer the door later.

The servants saw that the attitude of the two coarse clothes was not good, "It's late at night, who are you looking for!"

The grandfather said, "You told your master that Ouyang is visiting."

"Who are you?"

The Taigong glared at him anxiously, his eyes were wide open, black and white were distinct, the servants were horrified by the Taigong's aura, so they hurriedly reported to Huang Qixian, and Huang Qixian, who was wearing thin clothes, was pushed out in a wheelchair by the housekeeper.

"Quick, come in." Huang Qi was a little excited.

The two entered the room, and the butler carefully observed whether anyone was paying attention to this side. After everything was settled, he closed the door, prepared tea and went to guard the door.

Huang Qixian looked haggard, "Grandfather, I know I deserve what I did. I have lived for so many years, but my family members are innocent."

"First, I have read your letter. What is going on here?"

"Grandpa, I have never dared to contact you in private, but I have been inquiring about Qingtian Mansion. Zhao Qian is the helper of the man in black. I heard that Grandpa arrested him, so I dared to call Lian Er to inform you. Finally, I finally got you here."

"That's it. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. It's just why you said it so late. You must know that this person is vicious. Even if you listen to his orders, he will definitely not let you go in the future."

Huang Qi wiped away his tears first, "I know, but I have lost my legs, and I only want my children to be successful all my life. I, I dare not take risks. That person can come and go freely in the mansion. I don't want to wake up one day and find that my family is gone." It's gone." With that said, Huang Qi broke down in tears, Huang Shangyang's death hit him too hard.

After a while, he finally regained his composure and continued, "This kind of thing happened once the patriarch of the Artifact Refining Society died. I heard that there was a dwarf patriarch who was extremely ugly, and was called by the grandfather to ask if he was the suspect. I also privately checked the name of this person, Chou Ru, once the patriarch died, he bribed the elders to return to the Artifact Refining Association, grandpa, don’t you think this is too good.”

"You mean Ugly has something to do with the death of the patriarch."

"Hey, it has nothing to do with me." Huang Qixian said, "At first I thought the man in black was from the Artifact Refining Association, and wanted to use these iron essences to compete for merit, so I acted rashly when I got confused."

"Why."

"I always feel that he is very familiar with refining tools, and he is very clear about the materials inside and outside the words. It was not until the death of the two servants that I realized that this is a vicious person. But I am too useless, looking forward and backward, As a result of my child, he, he" Huang Qixian was a little out of breath and his face was purple, Yan Queqing immediately opened the door to find someone, the housekeeper hurried over and gave Huang Qixian the medicine, then he regained his composure, slowly The medicine worked and he fell asleep.

Seeing this, the grandpa and Yan Queqing had no choice but to leave first. They walked out of the gate 50 meters away. Yan Queqing and others didn't know it. , saying "Ouyang Shaoheng, you will die soon." Then he laughed ferociously.

Xiu Ran who was hiding at the side sensed it, but he couldn't see anyone, and the killing intent quickly disappeared, so he turned back to follow Yan Queqing disapprovingly.

The three of them discussed Huang Qixian's affairs on the way, but Yan Queqing was suspicious, and the grandfather was even more preoccupied. When they were about to reach Qingtian Mansion, an old beggar in shabby clothes called to Yan Queqing.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Qingqing?" The old beggar's red eyes were always streaming with tears, and his weather-beaten face was covered with wrinkles, just like shriveled apple peel.He tugged at his greasy, unkempt beard, coughed dryly, and said whimperingly.

"Xiao Hui, it's so late, what are you doing?" Xiao Hui is a well-known old beggar in Tiancheng, with rich experience, he has helped Yan Queqing a lot.

Yan Queqing suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiao Hui, have you been around the yamen recently?"

"That's right. A lot of rich people are here recently, begging on the street to make money." A few days ago, the princess got married and these beggars begged a lot of money.

Yan Queqing saw that there was something going on, and said, "Then did you see someone enter the government office in the early morning of the eighth day of this month?"

"Eighth day? Let me think about it, yo! My lord, you are lucky. I had a stomachache that night. I saw a tall and thin man walking into the mansion wearing a veil, and he came out quickly. You came to Qingtian Mansion so late, I took a closer look curiously."

Yan Queqing took out a piece of silver, "Continue."

The old beggar was overjoyed holding the silver. "Although he is wearing a mask, those high-ranking people are not doing things properly. They have not changed their clothes and accessories. They are all the same, and their height and body are the same. I can see clearly. That's someone from the Artifact Refining Association! Remember what it's called Ugly Monster." Yan Queqing and Xiuran looked at each other, and the grandfather was thoughtful.

After speaking, the old beggar hesitated, but Yan Queqing said, "Just tell me what you have."

"Actually, I've seen him in the old house on West Avenue, but his appearance has become - different."

Yan Queqing showed him the portrait of the mysterious man. The beggar glanced at it and said, "Like! It's just not so eerie. A very beautiful person, but he doesn't sleep at night, looking at a dilapidated house in a daze, Rich man's taste."

When everyone heard that it was Fei Gui's father's house, they fell silent.

"Xiao Qingqing, thank you for taking care of me." Xiao Hui took the money and left.

"Sir, that beggar said it." Seeing that the beggar's eyes were red, and there was a layer of gray shadow on the surface, he wondered if he could see clearly.

"His eyes don't look very good, but he is an expert in this area, and his vision is very accurate." Taigong and Xiuran looked at Yan Queqing, wishing to hear more about him, "The old beggar doesn't recognize people by their appearance, but by their clothes. , jewelry or other things. After all, beggars always ask for more money from rich people, so they naturally learn a way to identify rich people. Most rich people can’t change the old habit of showing off their wealth by doing bad things, even if When they change their clothes, they will also forget shoes, jewelry, hair crowns and other things, Xiao Hui will never forget after seeing it once.” He glanced at the grandpa’s hair crown, jade pendant, and delicate shoes that were different from the rough linen clothes .

Grandfather looked at himself 'full of flaws', stroked his beard and laughed, "I have seen it, I have seen it."

Yan Queqing went on to say, "So Chou Ru is not only the mysterious person and informer, but also the missing Fei Gui." I thought, no wonder Chou Ru would say that Xiuran's parents protected him, because he just didn't have the protection of his parents. Just encountered such a tragedy.

"West Street, isn't it his father's old house? Could it be that the old house is still preserved?" Grandpa hasn't been there since then, so he doesn't know what the house is like.

"Other people have lived in that house, I guess Chou Ru misses his family to see it." Yan Queqing guessed.

Xiuran asked, "How do you know, there are delicious food there."

Yan Queqing smiled, "There are Xiaolongbao and Golden Fried Dumplings there that are very famous, let's try them when we have time."

Xiuran nodded, and found that he had eaten a lot recently.There are a lot of elixir given by the master left, forget it, what Li said is right, the medicine is [-]% poisonous, anyway, those things are delicious.

The three of Yan Queqing went back to the government office on foot, "I never imagined that the former victims would become so cruel. Apart from poisoning, they also killed three innocent people."

"So Chouru's return to the Artifact Refining Society is also revenge on the dwarves. He was expelled at the beginning."

The grandfather felt a little regretful. If he had found the boy earlier at that time, would all the tragedies not have happened again.

Yan Queqing patted the grandfather on the shoulder, everything could not happen again.
