Chapter 1208: Mediocrity
In this world, there is one thing that money absolutely can't buy, and that's from talent.
But now this Liang Bo said that Xiao Yuncai's talents were all made up of money, which made Hua Lang and the others very puzzled, thinking, could it be because this Liang Bo hates that Xiao Yuncai, so he slandered Xiao Yuncai like this?
Hua Lang didn't mind asking about it.
"What does Liang Gongzi mean?"
Liang Bo snorted coldly and said: "That Xiao Yuncai, the family is extremely rich, so in order to pretend to be a talented person, he raised more than a dozen scholars at home, and every time he said those poems and other things, they were all made by the people behind him, and none of them were written by him." ”
Spending money to buy poems is not very common, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then smiled: "How can Liang Gongzi know so much about this?" ”
Liang Bo smiled coldly: "I am no worse than anyone in Da Liao, then Xiao Yun doesn't know how to do it, and he wants to ask me to be his staff, so I will know." ”
After asking these questions from Liang Bo's mouth, Hua Lang nodded, and then led the people away, he couldn't ask anything from Liang Bo, he decided to meet that Xiao Yuncai, to see if he was really a person who paid for poetry as Liang Bo said.
Before going to meet Xiao Yuncai, Hualang and they first learned about Xiao Yuncai's family background, Xiao Yuncai's family is in business, doing very big, and the family business is also very large, it can be said to be one of the best in Shangjing, and this Xiao Yuncai is a talent, in the eyes of outsiders, his father Xiao Qingyun is very fond of him, thinking that his son will become an important minister in their Liao court.
After understanding these, Hua Lang and they rushed to Xiao Mansion, it was a very large mansion, Hua Lang and others reported their names, and were immediately welcomed into the living room, although the Xiao family is a Liao person, but their furnishings are antique, quite Han habits and taste.
A few people sat in the living room for a while, and after a while, Xiao Yuncai greeted him, and after he saw Hua Lang, he smiled again and again: "Playboy, I have heard of your talent even in Liaoguo, and it is really my third honor to see it today." ”
Xiao Yuncai is indeed a talent, his face is very exquisite, and his smile is also very charming, which makes people unable to give birth to a trace of disgust at all, at this time, Hua Lang smiled again and again: "Awards, awards, but today, I didn't talk to Xiao Gongzi about poetry and talent, but a murder happened in the capital recently, and Lord Hu Weiqing Hu entrusted me to investigate, so ......"
Before Hua Lang's words were finished, Xiao Yuncai hurriedly interjected: "It's about the case of the murder of the county lord of Yeludie, right?" I've heard about this case, alas, the death of the lord of Yeludie County is really wronged, why was he killed and thrown into the well, tsk! ”
Xiao Yuncai seemed to be very sorry when he said it, but his expression was a little indifferent, as if he was not a little sad about the killing of the county lord of Yeludie.
There are a lot of affectionate people in the world, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that Yelu Die County is mainly married to Xiao Gongzi, but is this so?" ”
Xiao Yuncai nodded: "My father and Prince Nayu Yelu Nanfeng did discuss it like this, his family is powerful, our family is rich, and my father and Yelu Nanfeng have known each other for a long time, so it is okay to become in-laws, but I know that the Lord of Yelu Butterfly has something else in his heart, and he is in the next ...... I don't hide it, I already have a lover in my heart, so I don't approve of this family business, if Yeludie doesn't withdraw from the marriage, I will also withdraw from the marriage before I get married. ”
The corners of Hua Lang's mouth twitched slightly: "If you want to withdraw from the marriage, I'm afraid Ling Zun won't agree, right?" ”
"This is natural, my father is not short of money now, what he lacks is power, and being able to marry Prince Yu's family is my father's greatest wish, but I believe that with my talent, even if I don't marry Yelu Die, I can still win power for my Xiao family, so if I come to persuade my father, he will definitely agree to withdraw from the marriage."
This Xiao Yuncai's eloquence is quite good, Hua Lang smiled indifferently after hearing it, and said: "What Xiao Gongzi said is good, but if you withdraw from the marriage, then Prince Yu Yelu Nanfeng is afraid that he will not spare your Xiao family, right?" ”
"This ...... I didn't expect that, but it didn't matter, anyway, Yeludie was dead, and he couldn't doubt me. ”
The corners of Hua Lang's mouth moved slightly: "Maybe I really suspect you, has Xiao Gongzi forgotten what I do?" ”
Xiao Yuncai was taken aback, then patted his head, and said: "Oh, forget this, the playboy is not only good at learning, but also the ability to solve the case, which is second to none, forget, forget, the playboy came to my Xiao Mansion today, and he suspects me, right?" ”
Hua Lang didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "That's right, you also said just now, you have someone you like, and you don't want to marry that Yelu Die at all, so the only way to do both is to kill Yelu Die, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Yuncai slowly fell silent, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled: "What the playboy said is right, I am indeed a suspicious person, but I can swear, I didn't kill Yeludie, even if I don't want to marry her, I definitely don't mean to kill him, I have also seen Yeludie, beautiful as a flower, lovable, if I didn't already have someone else in my heart, I really can't bear to give up Yeludie." ”
"I don't know who Xiao Gongzi's lover is?"
"Her family is also in business, she is a Han Chinese, she gives me a feeling of a small jasper, her talent is almost no less than mine, if she is not a woman, I am afraid that the reputation in the entire Shangjing City will be louder than mine."
This Xiao Yuncai didn't hide anything when he spoke, giving people a very friendly feeling, and people couldn't bear to take him as a murderer, Hua Lang knew very well that this was the charm that a man had, and this kind of charm was not something that everyone could have.
However, as a detective, many things can't be done just by feeling.
So after some thought, Hua Lang asked, "Did you meet before Lord Yeludie was killed?" ”
"Yes, the day before he was killed, she came to me and said that he didn't want to marry me, and I told her that I didn't like her either, although she was the county lord, but I wasn't a person who was humiliated like this casually, so I fought back against him very hard, when she left, she was very angry, this kind of woman, I really don't understand them, since I don't like me, I'm not ready to marry her, isn't everyone happy, and finally he suddenly got angry inexplicably, really."
