"Master Hua really can't solve the case. If you let Brother Nan go, you will let him go, and you won't find anyone to follow. Yesterday morning," Gao Xinli picked up a walnut, put it in the palm of his hand, turned his hand, and blew again. Spreading his hands, "It's gone!" The walnuts in his hand were also gone.

gone?An Shaohua asked: "Has no one seen where he went?"

Gao Xinli shook his head.An Shaohua lowered her head in thought.Gu Cheng ate too much and said that he would go for a walk.An Shaohua arranged for him to turn around and go back to rest early. They didn't know when they would be able to rest while working on the case, so they didn't have to wait for him.

As Gu Li walked slowly in the Lu family's courtyard, he felt more and more that Master Lu was not like an ordinary merchant.The garden design of the entire Lu family is simply professional-level, and it is said that it was all thought up by Master Lu himself.

This step and scene are really not something that can be made by just thinking about it.Gu Cheng lost his way while walking, but he was not in a hurry. He walked slowly and looked carefully. The more he watched, the happier he was, and the more he looked, the more he liked it.He liked these gardens before traveling, and he was usually busy with work, either rehearsals or performances.Every time between performances, if you have enough time, you can go to Suzhou, and if you have short time, you can go to the Summer Palace.This Lu Mansion is considered to be the top one among the Chinese gardens that Gu Cheng has seen.

Seeing that there was a magnificent courtyard in front of him, Gu Cheng thought of taking a shortcut and walked through a clump of bamboos.

Bamboo house, bamboo eaves, bamboo fence, a small courtyard.For fear of disturbing the rest of others, Gu Cheng deliberately took a light step.

"Third brother, I can't sleep."

"Stop pretending! When you walk away from home, you say you love the bed, what's the result? What's the result? You slept like a dead pig last night, and you fucking wet the bed! You're fifteen, not five Not 85 either!"

"Third Brother, I..."

"Okay, okay, shut up!"

Hearing someone running towards the door with their shoes on, Gu Li quickly hid behind the wall.Whether it is intentional or not, it is better to pretend not to know when hearing this kind of privacy.

"Seventh Young Master." It was a strange voice.

"Brother Wang."

"Seventh Young Master, you don't need to be like this. Everyone ate too much wine and drank a lot of hangover soup yesterday, this... is inevitable."

"Thank you, Brother Wang." His voice was choked with sobs.Gu Cheng pursed his lips, as an adult, it's okay to wet the bed, cry——this is really inappropriate.

"You really don't have to, Seventh Young Master. As far as I know, you are not the only one, um, that kind of person. Yesterday was probably drunk, and you fell asleep after drinking too much."

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your explanation. I didn't drink at all yesterday."

"Uh...maybe..."

"Brother Wang, I used to choose a bed, so I put it off until the day before yesterday. I just wanted to spend less time outside. My third brother is very upset about this."

From Yonganjing to Cangzhou, if you take a boat from Anshui River, you will arrive in one or two hours.But if you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take four or five days, or go north to pass on a bridge in Yunwu Mountain, or go south by way of Liangzhou.The young man who grew up in Yong'an Jing had a rare chance to come out, so he naturally wanted to travel around the mountains and rivers.The corner of Gu Cheng's mouth twitched. Once upon a time, he also liked to have fun. To use what Song Yinchu said before, that is: he doesn't like reading, but likes dogs, horses, music, and beautiful clothes.

Young is always good.

"We came here on the first day of the young master Lu's marriage. There are always people walking around in his house at night. I almost didn't sleep all night. I played a little crazy yesterday. I fell asleep and my mouth was dry, and I was too embarrassed to call the servant girl to take care of me. There happened to be some hangover soup, so I drank it. Who knew that I fell asleep..." Before the words stopped, there was the sound of sobbing.

"Seventh Young Master, when I say this, I think of a strange thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Wang has always been most afraid of soup and medicine, but the master of the Lu family is careful and can't bear to refuse. So, I gave my young man to drink the hangover soup. As a result, I slept until midnight last night with a dry mouth and cough, and that stupid thing kicked me. I didn't wake up for several feet."

"Oh." The Seventh Young Master obviously didn't expect Wang Gongzi to say such a nonsensical thing, thinking that the other party was trying to give himself a step up, so the Seventh Young Master also responded.Hearing that they were walking towards the yard, Gu Cheng left quietly.When he faintly heard the seventh son behind him, "Brother Wang, this...can't be!"

What will it be?Gu Cheng thought about it all the way.When he was about to reach the gate of Yangyang courtyard, he ran into Zhao Baihu head-on.Zhao Baihu changed into a moon-white gown, which was different from the one Gu Cheng was wearing now.Gu Cheng thought to himself, it's not scary to bump into your shirt, it's embarrassing for anyone who is ugly.Zhao Baihu obviously didn't think so. When he saw Gu Li approaching, he greeted him happily.

Gu Cheng had no choice but to stand down and chat with him.

He rambled a lot, looking for something to talk about, the topic was like a fish out of water, just opening his mouth, he was about to die.

Xianchun happened to come out and saw Gu Cheng and Zhao Baihu at the door, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.Zhao Baihu gave half of the way to Gu Cheng, but still blocked half of it.A lotus flower and two lotus pods were given to Gu Cheng in a place that Xianchun couldn't see.Gu Cheng was at a loss, thinking of the way Zhao Baihu looked at him yesterday, and looking at his current performance, he understood most of it.Although I was disgusted in my heart, there was no reason to have a bad relationship with the Zhao family brothers in the Cangzhou territory. In addition, this thing was not unacceptable, so after thinking about it, I still accepted it.

When Gu Cheng went back, Jing He had just fallen asleep.Gu Cheng also fell asleep.This sleep until it is almost dark.

At dinner time, Gu Li went to find An Shaohua again.An Shaohua, Gao Xinli, and Mao Zhou were looking through the autopsy and inquest books.Gao Xinli said quietly, "I always feel that there is a very important thing that we didn't write in."

An Shaohua looked at the inspection grid in his hand, "There should be no mistakes."

"I can't tell, I always feel that something is missing."

"I looked at what they wrote, and it's all there."

"My lords, don't argue. It's not too late. We'll know when we go at dawn."

On the way to the study, An Shaohua took Gu Li's hand and asked him if he slept soundly at noon, and whether Jing He was good or not... The two kept their heads together and whispered, Gao Xinli walked behind them, and he felt very uncomfortable watching him. good.Looking at my empty hands, I suddenly missed my wife at home.

"Master Gao." Mao Zhou called him.

It turned out that a floating corpse was found in the boundary of Yong'an River and Cangzhou. Mao Zhou wanted to ask him if he could let the assistant from the Ministry of Punishment take the assistant from Cangzhou to see it, and teach him something by the way.Gao Xinli nodded, and the two assistants went together.

After entering the study room, a few people walked up and down in the study room, looking around, and after reading too much, they felt that such things were strange, and everything seemed to be a clue.

"Weiqing, what was the first thing you saw when you entered here?" Gu Cheng asked.At this time, trust your intuition, maybe there will be some surprises.

"Of course it's the double-sided embroidered screen." An Shaohua pointed to Gu Cong, "This embroidered screen, if it's finished, it's not priceless, but it's not something that can be used by idlers. Let's talk about the embroidery workers first. Double-sided embroidered skill……"

After listening to him for a long time, Gu Cheng seemed to understand but half understood.In short, few people know this craft, so double-sided embroidery is very expensive.So what?The Lu family is not short of money!

"Didn't the eldest brother just bring back one not long ago?"

"Brother, that's..." Before he finished speaking, An Shaohua suddenly walked towards the embroidery screen in three steps at a time. Gao Xinli and Mao Zhou also followed after seeing this.

The screen is as tall as a person, and if it is correct, it should be Songhe Yannian on one side, and the Antarctic fairy on the other side, so it is also a birthday celebration.There are not many screens for double-sided birthday celebrations.But one year in the early years, it was the queen mother's birthday, and the successor was not the successor at that time. The Zheng family bought a large Fushou Shuang full screen from Yong'an Jinghua Jianjin to present to the queen mother.

Huajianjin.

Lu Huanlang!

"Hua Jian Jin." An Shaohua looked at Gao Xinli and said word by word.

Gao Xinli didn't react at first, and asked, "What? What's wrong?"

On the contrary, although Mao Zhou was the magistrate of Cangzhou at this time, he also heard about Hua Jianjin's accident.

"Huajianjin is originally from Jingli..." Mao Zhou saw that Gao Xinli didn't know, and Gao Xinli listened carefully.Huajianjin started out with silk and satin, and later began to do silk business.His family name is Lu, and his ancestral home is Liangzhou.Later, Hua Jianjin's young master married the only daughter of an embroidery dealer.This young lady is rumored to be invincible with one hand and two faces.The patterns on both sides are different, but no rust can be seen.Some people even bought it back then and took it apart for a look. After taking it apart, none of them could embroider it back.

Later, the embroidery products sold by the Lu family violated the regulations, and the head of the Lu family at that time was sentenced to death, and the Lu family confiscated their property.The master of the Lu family was not in good health at first, and it rained on the day the house was raided, so he left within a few days.The young master of the Lu family was beheaded, and the young mistress was hanged.Master Sun's whereabouts are unknown.

The young master Sun of the Lu family is called Huan Lang.Young Master Sun was one or two years old when the Lu family had an accident, so he was about as old as Lu Zhongyuan.

Thinking of what Lu Zhongyuan told him about his childhood, An Shaohua had a faint guess in his heart.

"Fushou double full screen! I remembered!" Gu Ling suddenly raised his forehead.

"Liu Guang, what's the matter?" An Shaohua came over, grabbed Gu Cheng's hand and asked him.

"Yesterday, I saw Qiao Ran and Master Lu going to a secluded place, and I vaguely heard them saying things like '17 years ago', 'Fushou Double Full Screen', and 'Increasing progress'."

These words confirmed the speculation just now, and now many things make sense.But the most important thing is that 17 years ago, Lu Huanlang's grandfather died the same day he ransacked the house, and Lu Huanlang's mother and father also died after the judgment.If this Huan Lang is the young master Sun who disappeared from the Lu family back then, then who is Lu Quan?

But who should I ask these words?Who can I ask?

Of course, I have to ask Lu Xiamiao about the Lu family. 17 years ago, Lu Xiamiao was about ten years old, so it's time to remember things.

He ordered people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to go to Yong'an to investigate the matter of Hua Jianjin back then. Gao Xinli walked back and said, "Apart from the Lu family, who else can I ask?"

"Qiao Ran?" An Shaohua unconsciously pinched the void with his index finger, "Qiao Ran has something to say this morning, maybe it's this."

"More than that." Gao Xinli said, "This Qiao Ran should know quite a lot. It's because this person is too cunning. If he doesn't get away with it, it's really annoying."

"Master, master! Something has happened!" A prefect yamen servant crawled in without hesitation. If Gu Teng hadn't reacted quickly and opened the door for him, I'm afraid he would have rushed in directly, regardless of whether they were tied or not.

"What's the panic?"

"Young master of the Qiao family, Qiao Ran, is dead!"
