Chapter 108 Sneak into the Night with the Wind

Qingfeng Baozi Shop in Jingguo is the only one without a semicolon. Xia Chu thinks the buns here taste much better than BJ’s Qingfeng Baozi Shop. A cage of flowers.

Some people say that the macarons that are so sweet to death are called girl’s crispy breasts. Xia Chu was not willing to eat them in modern times, but when she saw this bun for the first time, she felt that the other name of macarons was too much. It doesn't live up to its name.

With this association, when Jiang Xiyuan was eating steamed buns, Xia Chu sat opposite him and laughed, and asked her, but she shook her head and refused to say.

If you tell him the nickname he gave Qingfeng Baozi, Jiang Xiyuan will definitely beat him.Chu Xia thought.

After happily eating three meat buns, Xia Chu was not so hungry, so he told Jiang Xiyuan about the clues that Xu Lu and the others investigated today.

"Nine times out of ten, that child is Yu Shiji." Jiang Xiyuan said after listening.

"Why not Yu Shirong's?" Xia Chu asked him.

"Why don't you ask if it's Xiangbo's?"

"Then why don't you suspect that it belongs to Doctor Liu?"

"Then I still say it belongs to Tang Kui!"

The two looked at each other, took a breath quietly, and shook their heads.Xia Chu said: "Don't be like this, we are quite disrespectful to the deceased."

"Anyway, that child is not Yu Wenping's." Jiang Xiyuan said indifferently, "I agree with you on this point. The reason why I suspect Yu Shiji is my reason."

"Tell me about it." Xia Chu picked up another bun, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Now, Yu Shiji has started to take over the business of Baicaozhuang. In the past two years, Yu Shiji has been responsible for most of the medicine purchases, but he didn't go this time. And Yu Wenping's departure just gave Cao Xuelian time to conceive. "

"Yu Shiji didn't go because his wife gave birth."

"Even if there is no wife to give birth, he can definitely find other reasons. Besides, what's the use of a woman giving birth to him and staying alone with a man?" Jiang Xiyuan thought for a while and said, "Didn't you just say that Yu Shiji said something about children crying at night? ? This matter is very annoying, ordinarily he should be more willing to leave."

Xia Chu glanced at him, "When a woman gives birth, shouldn't her husband stay and take care of her?"

"There are servants and maids at home, what's the use of him?"

"Can it be the same? What the husband gives is not life care, but emotional comfort. After all, the child has a share of the husband!"

"A man naturally puts his career first. What's the point of warming the kang around his wife and children? Even if you are a farmer, you have to carry a hoe to work in the field. Otherwise, your wife will take care of you. What will the whole family eat? Don't you think that when you have a child in the future, you will be single-minded? Around the children? Don't care about the government affairs? Don't you want the monthly money?"

"What does it have to do with me! I'm still far away." Xia Chu blushed slightly, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and then smiled inexplicably: "If I have a child in the future, I will definitely accompany you. necessary!"

Jiang Xiyuan looked at Xia Chu, and imagined that she was holding the child in one hand and her wife in the other, feeling a little uncomfortable.In an instant, he became even more uncomfortable because of this discomfort, and said with a dark face: "It's too far away."

"Yeah... that's too far away." Xia Chu wiped his mouth, "Let's talk about the case."

"I'm done. Tell me your opinion. I haven't met Yu Shirong, so I don't understand it. Why do you doubt him?"

Xia Chu thought for a while, "To be honest, I didn't directly doubt whether the child belonged to him, but I thought his attitude was very strange. He seemed to be trying his best to distance himself from his relationship with Cao Xuelian, which made people feel uncomfortable. Doubtful. Another point, Cao Xuelian died in Guangji Hall, which means that the relationship between Shiji and Guangji Hall is too close, and it is too easy to be suspected."

"We have analyzed before that this murder should be a murder of passion, so where Cao Xuelian was killed, the murderer did not plan carefully. It is not surprising where she died."

"It makes sense to say that. As a murderer, it's true that you don't choose a location for a passionate murder, but where Cao Xuelian will appear is debatable." Xia Chu nodded, "According to normal logic, she went to Qing Ren Tang to get it. The next step is to take the medicine quickly, could it be that she went to Guangjitang to take the medicine?"

Jiang Xiyuan snapped his fingers, "It's possible! What do you think Baicaozhuang does? The medicinal material business must be very sensitive to medicines. If someone saw her decocting medicine at home, it would be difficult for her to ask." Prevarication. So this medicine cannot be taken at home."

"Then it's over if she goes to her natal family to eat." Xia Chu disagreed, "Her natal family doesn't know much about medicinal materials, so take a step back and say, even if they find out, can they kill relatives righteously?"

"It's you who guessed that way, and you're the one who objected." Jiang Xiyuan took a sip of tea and felt that it was terribly unpleasant, so he beckoned over to ask the clerk at the bun shop to pay the bill.

Xia Chu stopped him, took out some money and put it on the table, "I'll treat you to this meal. I originally wanted to treat you to my lord for my birthday tomorrow, but you suddenly want to leave Beijing..."

"Just a steamed bun?!"

Xia Chu laughed, "Birthday is too early but not too late. I'll treat you better when you come back, but it's not counted as birthday. This steamed stuffed bun counts as birthday meal, and I'm the only one here! Come on, my lord, hurry up and wish me happy Birthday!"

Jiang Xiyuan looked at her for a moment, then bent his lips and smiled, "Well, happy birthday."

The two came out of the steamed stuffed bun shop, Jiang Xiyuan led his white horse, and the two walked towards home together.In Jiang Xiyuan's plan, he should refuse to have dinner with Xia Chu, but because Xia Chu wanted to discuss the case, he reluctantly went with him.

After dinner, Jiang Xiyuan wanted to get on the horse in style, saying that he had to get up early tomorrow, so he was a step ahead.But he ate so much that he wanted to take a walk.Xia Chu's home is in the same direction as his, so we can't say that we are going our separate ways, so we have to go together.

There is really no way.

Jiang Xiyuan walked beside Xia Chu, and the side of her body that was close to her seemed to have a nose and eyes. Every time Xia Chu accidentally touched his sleeve and brushed against the back of his hand, he could clearly feel it.

He was afraid that she would touch him, and wanted her to be closer to him.

At the intersection of Xia Chu's house, Xia Chu waved him goodbye, "My lord, have a smooth journey tomorrow, come back early."

Jiang Xiyuan nodded with a smile, watched Xia Chu disappear into the night without looking back, sighed in disappointment, and pulled the white horse away.

The city of Xijing fell silent on this early summer night. There were tender leaves and little flowers on the treetops and branches, and the fragrance was wrapped in the wind and wandered happily in the empty streets.

Xia Chu opened half the window, let the wind into the room, and fell into a deep sleep.Jiang Xiyuan also opened half of the window, but he was still in a daze, and the troubles in his heart couldn't be resolved or disturbed like a thick night.

In the palace, a light breeze blew into the room, causing the shadow of the candle to sway slightly. An Liang yawned big, then quickly covered his mouth, and looked at his master worriedly, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

Su Zhen ignored him, and still immersed himself in reviewing papers.An Liang had no choice but to back out lightly, standing by the door and continuing to wait.

Min Feng appeared out of nowhere, stood beside An Liang without saying a word, and looked up at the sky with him.An Liang was startled as soon as he turned his head, "Hey! You made a noise! ​​How is it? Mr. Jiang will definitely leave Beijing tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Hmm..." An Liang curled his lips at him, "Speaking a few more words will tire you! The emperor just said that you should go and check tomorrow morning, and be sure to watch Mr. Jiang leave the city. Don't turn around and run into... He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "I'm done playing."

"it is good."

Another word!An Liang rolled his eyes helplessly, turned his head and saw a little eunuch hurriedly walking towards this side with a brocade box in his hands, so he hurriedly greeted him, "Aiyo! You are here, the emperor asked just now."

"Eunuch An, please don't talk about it. Master Ni has been tossed about this matter enough, and he committed a backache after putting down his pen, and he will be escorted home." The little eunuch carefully handed the brocade box into An Liang's hands Come on, accompanied him with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you have to help me with a few words of kindness, we have really tried our best."

An Liang patted the little eunuch, "Don't worry, I understand, this matter..." He smiled, "It's hard for you."

"Okay, okay, you can rest assured with Mr. An's words."

"You go and tell me about this matter. If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful to cut your tongues."

The little eunuch nodded quickly, bowed and ran away.Min Feng watched from the side, and couldn't help smiling: "Eunuch An is so majestic."

An Liang glanced at him, "Hey! You talk too much when you run on me!"

Min Feng shook his head, "The emperor is going to call you."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Su Zhen yell An Liang from inside.An Liang responded, and looked at Min Feng in surprise, "God-man!"

"I heard the sound of a pen being put down."

An Liang walked in with the brocade box in his hands, while Su Zhen stood up from behind the desk and stretched his arms, "Done?"

"All right."

"open to take a look."

Su Zhen sat on the couch, took a sip of warm tea, watched An Liang take out a roll of paper from the brocade box, and unfolded it in front of him.

"The slave feels that this one is the most similar."

Su Zhen took a look and gave a reluctant evaluation.An Liang smiled and said: "If you want to say, the emperor's own handwriting is the most similar to Mr. Xia."

"Naturally, you can remember it clearly after you have seen it a lot." Su Zhen walked to the painting and looked at it carefully again, "I remember that Mr. Xia's nose and mouth are similar to his father's, and his eyes are more like his mother's. The little girl's drawing looks like it. However, the clothes are completely wrong."

"The servant heard that Ni Yuanjian suffered from back pain when he put down his brush, and he can't even get out of bed now. The servant feels that he has never even seen it. He only refers to the portrait of Mr. Xia and the description of the servant, and it is realistic to paint like this. It's not easy."

Su Zhen nodded, "Forget it, I hope he can recognize it."
