The rumbling sound sounded suddenly, and the old man rolled down from the carriage, looking at the sky vigilantly, and after listening for a while, he realized that the sound was not coming from the sky.

Turning his head, it turned out that not far ahead, there was a woman beating the big drum in front of the yamen hard, and what I heard just now was not thunder, but the sound of the drum.

He breathed a sigh of relief, jumped back into the carriage, and said, "It turns out that someone is beating the drum and scared me to death......

The hall drum is a big drum standing in front of the yamen, which has two functions, one is that when the county official is promoted to the hall, he beats the drum to gather the crowd and gathers the officials scattered in various places in the yamen, and the other is to let the people who have grievances beat the drum and cry out their grievances, Li Yi lifted the curtain and took a look, the woman who was beating the drum just now has been welcomed in by the yamen, and he didn't care, he put down the curtain, looked at the old man and asked: "What you just said is serious?" ”

"It's not a way to go on like this." Lao Fang sighed and said, "There should always be a result in this matter......"

Li Yi hung the curtain aside, and asked suspiciously, "How did you and Xiaohong meet?" ”

Lao Fang leaned on the carriage, looked at the sky, smiled on his face, and said, "Probably a year before my uncle went up the mountain......

Li Yi thought at first that Lao Fang was just a simple and straightforward man who didn't have much thought, but later found out that his thoughts, especially for feelings, were extremely delicate, and under his honest appearance, there was a sullen soul hidden.

His acquaintance with Xiaohong is nothing more than an old-fashioned plot of a bear saving beauty, and then he met in the Jade Courtyard by chance, and he became familiar with it after coming and going, and the exchange between the Jade Courtyard and the courtyard wall gradually developed to the point where it is today.

According to what Lao Fang said, it can't be said to any extent, for now, the two are a pure relationship between men and women who only hold small hands.

Between him and the sister-in-law of the Fang family, it should be family affection, Xiaohong is probably the love of Lao Fang, as for how to make the two perfectly integrated------ if he knows, he doesn't have to run two ends every day.

His own affairs are still a mess, and Lao Fang's family affairs can't help much, Li Yi can only shake his head and say, "This matter, let's think about it in the long run......"

"yes, let's take the long view." The old man nodded and said, "Miss Drunken Mo has already achieved a positive result, Second Miss, Miss Ruoqing, Eldest Princess, Miss Lin, even Aunt Xiaohuan has not yet received the house, and the little princess is afraid that there is only Uncle in her heart, and this one by one, you must also think about it in the long run......"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "That's it, I'll let Ruyi go over and talk to the sister-in-law of the Fang family, just say that you want to welcome another hostess back, as the eldest woman of the Fang family, she should be generous, don't obstruct ......, Ruyi's words, she will definitely listen to some, how about it, it's interesting enough, right?" ”

The old man waved his hand again and again, "Forget it, I'll just solve this kind of trivial matter by myself, or don't bother the eldest lady......"

The carriage gradually moved away, and among the yamen, a catcher sent the woman out, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Girl, this case, from beginning to end, is in charge of Jingzhao Yamen, you go there and ask." ”

The woman's face was pale and bloodless, but she still nodded and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

The catcher looked at her, his face showed an unbearable look, and said: "Girl, let me remind you, when you go to the Jingzhao Yamen, don't beat the drum in front ......of this gate."

……

"Chu Ping, Cui Xixin......"

Li Yi crumpled the note in his hand and threw it into the stove.

When the court committed the murder case that day, Cui Xixin and the little prince of the Chu family were also in the Miaoyin Pavilion, and it is said that they were almost implicated, which is one of the reasons why the Jingzhao Yin Mansion attaches so much importance to this case.

He has never underestimated the Chu family, and he has been paying attention to it, but this matter has been handled by the Jingzhao Mansion from beginning to end, and Zeng Shichun has not sent any news there, so there should be no problem.

He roasted his hands by the fire, then picked up his pen and wrote on the rice paper spread out on the table.

Miss Liu Er said that the "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi" he wrote on the lantern that day was too sloppy, and there were many words in it that she didn't recognize, and it was not a qualified gift, so she asked him to write it again.

It's too normal for Miss Liu Er to not recognize it, she knows a few words herself, and the situation is different that day, in order to seek speed, he uses a kind of calligraphy between cursive and calligraphy, and anyone with a little calligraphy background can know it, but in the eyes of an illiterate person like her, it is naturally scribbled and can't see clearly......

But who made her Miss Liu, the second miss let her write in block letters, how big is it......

Li Yi wrote it, and after she checked it, she nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yi reminded her: "Don't forget, you still owe me something." ”

"What's that?" Miss Liu Er frowned and asked.

According to the rules of the Lantern Festival, the lantern and the sachet are to be exchanged in the end, Miss Liu Er took his lamp, so naturally she wanted to give him a sachet, which was the rule of the game.

"Take my lamp, you have to give me something, the ...... that you women wear closely," Li Yi reminded again.

Miss Liu Er's brows furrowed even more: "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Yi pointed to her chest, "You haven't guessed yet?" In the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, in that garden, those women stuffed the ...... into my arms."

Miss Liu Er finally understood that the belly pocket that was stuffed into his arms was thrown away by her own hands, looked up at him, and asked coldly, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Yi looked at his expression and said in surprise: "No, it's not a valuable thing, and you are not willing to do it, otherwise you return the lamp to me, and I don't want that thing......"

"You come in, I'll give it to you." Miss Liu Er thought for a while, clasped her hands, walked into her room, and said, "Remember to close the door." ”

It's just a sachet, mysterious, and you have to close the door, and it's not a shady thing, Li Yi shook his head and followed her in......

Jingzhao Mansion Ya, Yamen.

"How many times have I said it, the body has not been claimed, and it has long been buried in the mass grave, as for where it was buried, the black light is blind, how do I know?" A catcher waved his hand impatiently, and said: "The government is already making every effort to arrest him, and the sea fishing documents have already been sent, as long as the thief is still in Kyoto, it will be impossible to escape, you can rest assured, as soon as there is news of the prisoner, we will immediately send someone to inform you." ”

The woman's voice was soft: "Even in the hot summer, unclaimed corpses should be kept for at least three days, not to mention, it's winter, and it will be at least seven days later......"

"For the New Year, I have examined the body, and there is nothing suspicious about this case, just wait for the arrest of the Naqin criminal, where is there a place for you to collect it, what should be told to you, I have already told you, I warn you, don't make trouble here again, one more time, we are welcome!" When he spoke again, his tone had changed to anger.

The woman knelt in front of the yamen with a sad voice: "I just want to know, how did my sister die......"

On the street, passers-by gradually surrounded them, looking at the woman with puzzled eyes, looking at the gate of the government office, and pointing.

……

"When will she have another sister!"

In the back hall of the mansion, Cui Qingming slapped the table and said with an angry face.

Zeng Shichun took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "Although it is unexpected, there are some more variables, but it may not be a good thing, if even her family believes that the woman died at the hands of that Qin criminal, then there will be no more changes in this case in the future." ”

"I'm afraid that something will happen now......" Cui Qingming narrowed his eyes and muttered.

Hearing the killing intent in Cui Qingming's words, Zeng Shichun glanced up at him, stood up and said, "This woman, you can't move." ”

Cui Qingming smiled and said, "Brother Zeng doesn't need to be reminded, I naturally know that if something happens to this woman again, I'm afraid it will really attract the attention of people with a heart." ”

Zeng Shichun nodded and said no more.

The two talked about some things again, Cui Qingming went out from the back door of the mansion, and when he stepped into the carriage, his body paused slightly, turned his head, looked at a guard in front of the carriage, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked towards the void.

In the palace, in front of the dinner table, a woman heard a rumbling sound outside, put down the dishes and chopsticks heavily, and said dissatisfied: "What's going on outside, it's endless, right?" ”

A servant came in from outside and said with a bitter face: "My lord, that woman didn't listen to the advice at all, and began to beat the hall again......

Zeng Shichun put down his chopsticks, his face sank, and said: "Jingzhao Mansion, is it a place where she is messing around, come here, take down the woman, cane twenty, and put her in prison for the time being......"

The catcher was stunned, and said with some disbelief: "My lord, this, this punishment, isn't it a bit heavy......

Zeng Shichun waved his hand: "It's okay, the government is majestic, no provocation is allowed, heavy punishment has a warning effect, just pay attention to proportion." ”

The catcher didn't say more, bowed down and said, "Subordinates obey!" ”
