female catcher

Chapter 134
Jiang Xiyuan walked slowly with Xia Chu's arm, and Xia Chu reported the progress of the case during his absence, mainly about the two brothers of the Yu family, and the reason why she came to Jingzhao County to investigate Yu Wenping this time.Jiang Xiyuan just nodded after listening.

"Does your lord have any ideas?" Xia Chu asked him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xiyuan asked, "You have almost asked all of Yu's family. I remember that Yu Wenping had a concubine. Why didn't you mention it? Is she not a suspect?"

"Lan Yan'er?" Xia Chu puffed her mouth, shook her head and said, "It's too unfeminine to chop someone with an axe, so I didn't ask her."

"What if it's a woman disguised as a man? There are shrews."

"Haha. How could you dress up as a man?" Xia Chugan trembled twice, and smiled exaggeratedly. After receiving Jiang Xiyuan's inexplicable gaze, he restrained himself and said seriously, "It doesn't matter if it's a woman disguised as a man or not." , I have thought about this issue and think that Lan Yan'er has no reason to kill her."

"The concubine's room killed the mistress, um, for example, such a thing happened in the former Taifu Yin's family."

"I've never heard of any concubine who killed the mistress with an ax." Xia Chu shrugged, "Of course, how to kill is not important, what matters is what Lan Yan'er killed Cao Xuelian for? Cao Xuelian and Yu Shiji If there is an affair, she just needs to expose this matter. My lord, it is generally not because of the woman herself that a woman kills another woman, but mostly because of the man. If a woman can use a man to get rid of another woman, why would a woman still kill another woman? Do you want to do it yourself?"

Jiang Xiyuan digested it for a while, and said, "Say it again."

"Both Yu Shirong and Xiangbo know about Cao Xuelian and Yu Shiji. Lan Yan'er is at home every day, so can't she see any clues? If she wants to compete for the position of mistress, the most economical way for her is to put this Tell Yu Wenping about it, how nice it is for the mistress and the eldest son to die together, why kill people? The cost is too high."

"Then what if she just doesn't know?"

"Look, the door was open when the man in gray came in, that is to say, Cao Xuelian and Yu Shirong were still there at the time. If the man in gray was Lan Yan'er, even if she didn't know it before, she knew it then. Then The question then comes back to the cost of killing that we just mentioned. Moreover, it was her own son who threatened Cao Xuelian, and she killed her quietly, so her son can't tell the truth?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xiyuan nodded, "That's right, if Cui Dahua hadn't accidentally seen that person, it would have been really hard for Yu Shirong to explain clearly."

"That's right. Of course, there are no absolutes. For example, Lan Yan'er is tall and strong, so it might be hard to tell if she is wearing men's clothes. What if she killed Cao Xuelian because of a lack of brain?"

"Tall and strong..." Jiang Xiyuan laughed after hearing this, "It's no wonder Yu Wenping wants to continue after the original partner passed away."

"Talking about the case, what are you thinking about, my lord?" Xia Chu glanced at him dissatisfied, "Yes, there is also the issue of the sequel. There must be a reason why Yu Wenping didn't promote her to the wife after the original wife passed away. Then if Cao Xuelian dies, she will still not be the wife, and it is impossible to kill the mistress."

"Why didn't you interrogate Lan Yan'er?"

"I think her suspicions are ranked behind Yu Wenping. If there is nothing to gain from this trip, I will find Lan Yaner when I go back. If Lan Yaner is fine..."

"how?"

"Then I have a big problem! Is there a dead end? Maybe I have to check everything again." Xia Chu pouted, "Will your lord deduct my monthly payment?"

"It's possible." Jiang Xiyuan said with a smile, then looked up and looked around, "Where is your room?"

"It's over there in the guest room." Xia Chu also looked around for a few moments, then paused, "My lord, don't you know what's going on?"

"I've never been to Guan Yang's yamen, how do I know. They arranged a guest room for you, why didn't you ask where it is?"

"I'm going back to the guest room with Chang Qing. Chang Qing asked, why should I ask again? If it wasn't for your lord, you insisted on helping me, I guess I would have fallen asleep early." Xia Chu sighed, and muttered again: " It’s not like knocking your knees.”

"Also!" Jiang Xiyuan glared at her, "Just now you apologized to me and said that you should show me more respect. It's only been a while, but it's happening again!"

"Then..., my lord, you said that you helped me wander around for a long time before you said you didn't know each other. How can I respect you for doing this?"

"You don't even know about your own room, so don't talk about me."

Xia Chu was overjoyed, and teased, "Master, do you know the room I live in?"

Jiang Xiyuan was choked by Xia Chu's choking. He stood there and thought about it. He pressed Xia Chu's shoulder and sat her down on a flat Shoushan stone beside the flower garden. "You wait for me here honestly. I'll ask."

Jiang Xiyuan quickly left and returned, followed by a policeman from Guan Yang.Officer Guan Yang quickly took them to the room where Xia Chu lived. Jiang Xiyuan went into the room and looked around and found that the conditions were not bad, so he asked her to rest early, and told her to think about changing her wound medicine before going to bed.

Xia Chu perfunctorily agreed, and as soon as Jiang Xiyuan left, he fell on the bed and fell asleep directly.

When Jiang Xiyuan left, he looked back. Although he couldn't see Xia Chu, he knew she was there, and his heart throbbed again.

He knew that his plan of "staying away from the troubles in early summer" had failed. Since he realized this problem, he seemed to have fallen into a quicksand pit, and the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

After being away for so many days, my love and concern for Chu Xia continued unabated, and my troubles became more severe.

At this moment, he felt that he was really wrong, and it was okay to be stupid.At that time, he was already tempted, but he still had to artificially distance himself, adding thoughts to this tempting.This is obviously a trick he used to deal with girls in the past!There is Zhang, there is relaxation, it is hot and cold, and if you want to catch it, you will always let it go.

Now that the tip of the knife is pointing inward, he really deserves it for poking himself.

Are the sleeves really broken like that?If Xia Chu found out, would he laugh out loud?Thinking of what he said to her before, Jiang Xiyuan felt his face hurt.

He sighed with his hands behind his back, and Guan Yang, who was walking in front, nervously asked him if there was anything he didn't take good care of.He waved his hand, reached for the lantern in the catcher's hand, asked the location of his residence, and sent him away.

Jiang Xiyuan walked slowly with the lamp in his hand, trying to sort out his thoughts, trying to find a few reasons to explain his emotions, to see if he might have misunderstood himself.But when he found one, he vetoed one, until he got to the place where he lived, but there was no result, but the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became.

Lying on the bed at night, he had a few more dreams. In the dream, he hugged Xia Chu, and Xia Chu hugged his neck and kissed his cheek. Before he could get excited, Xia Chu backed away with a smile. In a flash, his face turned into Liu Qi's dark face. Liu Qi nestled in his arms and asked him shyly, "Master, why didn't you tell me earlier that you like men?"

Jiang Xiyuan woke up from the dream, looked at the window, and found that the window paper was still dark gray, and it was still dark.He froze for a while, then lay down suddenly, covering his face with the quilt.

Xia Chu slept well that night, and because he rested so well, he felt all the bumps yesterday, his waist, legs, and arms were all sore, but the pain in his ankles was no longer evident.

After tidying up the personal hygiene, Xia Chu opened the door and saw Chang Qing sitting on the steps in front of her door. She got a cucumber from somewhere and was enjoying it.

"Where's my breakfast?" Xia Chu asked him.

Chang Qing turned around, pointed to a room, lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency is in that room, and breakfast is also there."

"What are you doing here?"

"It's too embarrassing for me to stare at the big-eyed and small-eyed adults." Chang Qing stood up and patted his pants, "Boss, you can really sleep. I'm so hungry, I went to the back vegetable garden to steal a cucumber. Let's go." Come on, hurry up and eat, the shopkeeper of the Fulai Inn may bring it back in a while."

Hearing this, Xia Chu hurriedly limped and injured his foot, enduring the pain all over his body and went to the room where Chang Qingzhi was.

Jiang Xiyuan heard the movement the moment he opened the door in early Xia, and he did a lot of psychological training for himself to calm himself down.Maybe it went a little too far, so the serious expression is as cold as ice.As a result, when he saw Chu Xia's walking posture, his serious face cracked completely, and his smile completely lost his image.

"Don't laugh! Eat!" Xia Chu sat upright on the stool, knocking his chopsticks angrily.

"Does your foot still hurt?"

"A little more."

"Does your knee still hurt?"

Xia Chu rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you hurting all over?"

"My lord, are you finished!"

Jiang Xiyuan laughed out loud, and felt in a particularly good mood for a moment.He picked up a few chopsticks of food and put them on the plate in front of her, and said in a slow voice: "Eat whatever you want, and I will take you to eat something good at noon."

"Huh? Is there anything special about this?"

"Gourd Banquet." Jiang Xiyuan raised his eyebrows at her, "Have you never heard of it?"

Xia Chu frowned slightly while drinking porridge and eating vegetables, "Gourd banquet? What is it? Medicine?"

Jiang Xiyuan laughed again.Chang Qing next to him was holding a porridge bowl, trying hard to hide his sense of existence, looking at Jiang Xiyuan through the edge of the bowl with eyes rolling around, thinking that Master Jiang's smile is really low.

After breakfast, Guan Yang came over to find Chang Qing, said that the letter from County Magistrate Liu had been written, and asked him if he wanted to leave for Liujiabao now.Xia Chu asked him a few words and let him go.

Before the hour, the shopkeeper of Fulai Inn and a store clerk came.It is estimated that Guan Yang's arrester didn't say why they were looking for them, so both of them flinched a little. They entered the door and glanced at Xia Chu, and then quickly knelt down when they saw Jiang Xiyuan.

Xia Chu rubbed his nose, and took a look at Jiang Xiyuan, feeling that what Chang Qing said was true, it seemed that what she lacked in prestige was not even a little bit.

The shopkeeper of the Fulai Inn is named Tang, a fat man in his 40s.Xia Chu asked him if he knew Yu Wenping from Baicao Village in Xijing, but before he could say anything, sweat broke out on his forehead.
