Chapter 138 Eat a Walnut

When County Magistrate Liu heard that Jiang Xiyuan was leaving, he prepared a carriage and found a good handlebar.There were no expensive gifts in the car, but a lot of local specialties from Guanyang, such as walnuts and candied dates.

It's more scheming to do this.Jiang Xiyuan is not an official who came to the top after ten years of hard work. He is a son of a family who doesn't care about money at all. It doesn't sound good. If you gritted your teeth and spent a thousand taels of silver as a gift for him, they might still think of you vulgar.Maybe you have to question your motives, and check the origin of your property when you are free.

A cart full of souvenirs, not to mention the large quantity and low price, it also seems that the gift giver is a real person.County Magistrate Liu sent Jiang Xiyuan and his party to Wuliting outside Guanyang City, waved his hands and watched the carriage go away, and heaved a sigh of relief.

I don't know if this cart of souvenirs won Jiang Xiyuan's favor, but it must have won Xia Chu's favor.From another point of view, winning Xia Chu's favor is equivalent to winning Jiang Xiyuan's favor.Magistrate Liu was lucky.

At the beginning of Xia, he sent Changqing Kuaima to Xingzhou.Chang Qing took the order and left. She wanted to ask Jiang Xiyuan if he wanted to ride back to the capital by himself first, because she would be slower in a carriage.

Of course Jiang Xiyuan was unwilling, "I'm carrying precious jade ornaments, so I can't run fast."

At the beginning of Xia, I thought it was the same, more than 300 taels!It's more expensive than her house, so it's right to be careful.Xia Chu's riding skills were very poor, so she couldn't imagine what it meant to be good at riding.

Not to mention bringing a packaged jade ornament and rushing back to Beijing, even if Jiang Xiyuan ran back with a bowl of soup, it wouldn't spill out in Xijing, at most it would be cold.

After leaving Guanyang City for more than ten miles, Jiang Xiyuan got into the carriage under the pretext of listening to her talk about the case.His white horse followed, lonely and unhappy.

Just before Xiachu set off, he changed the medicine for his feet, and there was some bitter smell of medicine in the car.Jiang Xiyuan pulled out the bag and looked for it. He took out a pack of candied dates and put it in Xia Chu's hand. Xia Chu pinched one and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm medicine for my feet, and it's not bitter in my mouth. How about I'll just stuff a few in my boots."

Jiang Xiyuan curled his lips in disgust, "That's disgusting."

"Don't just talk about it, my lord, just don't imagine it." Xia Chu shrugged, "I won't apply this medicine after returning to Beijing. It smells bad and sticky, and my socks are dirty."

"How can the medicine in Guanyangcheng Small Medical Center compare to the jar I gave you. Tsk tsk, I think you should take it with you next time. You will get hurt if you don't keep it all."

Xia Chu lowered his eyes and smiled without saying a word, and ate another candied date.

Jiang Xiyuan found another bag of walnuts, and some special Guanyang cakes in the food box, and put them in front of Xia Chu, "Talk while eating."

"What?" Xia Chu froze for a moment, "Oh yes, the case, right?"

"You can say anything else if you want."

"I have nothing else to say." Xia Chu sat up straight, not noticing Jiang Xiyuan's gloomy expression, "We began to suspect Yu Wenping after investigating the suspicions of the two young masters of the Yu family."

"From the moment I found out that Cao Xuelian was pregnant, I should have suspected Yu Wenping."

"Hey, let's not say that now." Xia Chu said indifferently, "There were so many suspects at the time, firstly, he didn't have time to commit the crime, and secondly, he was not in Xijing at the time, so it was meaningless for me to suspect him at that time. And even later, there are still a few problems that cannot be explained clearly.”

"what is the problem?"

"Assuming he killed Cao Xuelian in anger because of her affair, when did he know about it? If he knew about it before, why didn't he kill him before? He won't calm down for a few days and then think about it and get angrier. , and then murdered in anger; if he knew about it in Guangji Tang, why was he in Guangji Tang? He was originally going to Xingzhou to collect medicine, right?"

Jiang Xiyuan nodded after listening, "Then it is obvious that the second point has been explained now. He bought Dendrobium officinale at Fulai Inn at a high price, and the price of Xingzhou's drought medicine is expected to rise, so he went back to Guangjitang to get the money gone."

"Well, after asking shopkeeper Tang of the Fulai Inn, his reason for returning to Guangji Hall was explained, and it is valid. But whether he has returned to Guangji Hall or not is another matter. Having a reason does not mean that he has done it. " Xia Chu smiled slyly, stopped and took out a walnut, looked around, picked up a small stool on the car, and was about to smash it.

Jiang Xiyuan hid for a moment, reached out and grabbed her wrist, "You are too scary, give it to me."

Xia Chu handed him the stool, and Jiang Xiyuan clicked, "Walnut!"

Xia Chu handed him the walnut again, but he didn't let go of Xia Chu's wrist, squeezed it, and pushed her sleeves away a little, "What is this?"

"Rope." Xia Chu pulled his hand back and covered his sleeves again.

"Why is there a rope tied to your hand? Let me take a look." Jiang Xiyuan wanted to look again, but Xia Chu avoided it and said, "Is there anything interesting, and it's not something rare, I just wear it for safety."

"Oh, that doesn't seem to be very effective. It's better to go to the temple and Taoist temple to find one later, so as not to hurt you all day long." Jiang Xiyuan smiled viciously, took the walnut handed over by Xia Chu, Put it in your hand and pinch it with your thumb, and the walnut will crack.

"Hey!" Xia Chu stared at the walnut in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then took out another one and put it in his hand, squeezed it down with all his strength, his face turned red, but the walnut was still the same round walnut.Jiang Xiyuan laughed loudly, took it again, and it shattered again with a click.

He put two walnuts into Xia Chu's hand, pointed to the pastry on the table, "Why don't you squeeze that one and try?"

Xia Chu gave him a white look, "Sir, are you the Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Can the skull be crushed?"

"I haven't pinched it. What is the Nine Yin White Bone Claw? It sounds like some kind of evil martial art."

"It's about the same. I read it from a miscellaneous book, so I guess it was made up." Xia Chu picked out the walnut meat in his hand while eating, and said, "But crushing walnuts is pretty good, my lord, you are really good at it! "

"Walnuts have seams, so they are easy to pinch." Jiang Xiyuan didn't know if he should be happy after hearing Xia Chu's words. He practiced martial arts since childhood, but Xia Chu looked up to him for pinching walnuts. His feelings are a bit complicated, "I just said Where are you?"

"what?"

"case."

"Oh, I just said that Yu Wenping has a reason to go back to Guangji Hall, but I have to confirm whether he has gone back. Chang Qing didn't go to Liujiabao, and even if he went, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything. If I were Yu Wenping, I would go back If Guangjitang kills someone and comes back, he will definitely tell his buddies not to say that he left. His buddies are working under him to make a living, and job is naturally the most important thing. And the words of the buddies are not as powerful as his own words."

"What did Yu Wenping say?"

"At Baicao Village that day, Xu Lu asked him why he had traveled so long from Guanyang City to Liujiabao. He first said that it was raining that day, and then explained that they were going to settle in Liujiabao."

Only then did Jiang Xiyuan smile, "He Zhe is such a joint, you are better than Chang Qing. This Yu Wenping can be regarded as a hundred secrets and a sparse one."

"It's not secret, he just took it for granted." Xia Chu thought for a while and smiled at Jiang Xiyuan: "My lord, I feel very lucky to meet you."

When Jiang Xiyuan heard this, his heart started beating uncontrollably again. He was very excited but didn't want to show it. He pretended to be calm and bent his lips into a smile, "Of course it's your luck to meet me."

"At first I took it for granted. It rained so much in Xijing on the first day of April, and it wasn't too far away from Gyeonggi, so it was normal for it to rain that day. None of us thought it was suspicious. If I hadn't sprained this time He must have lived with Changqing in the inn outside the city, so he would not have met you, and then there would have been no county magistrate Liu sending a letter to the Liangcheng police to assist in the investigation, so naturally there would be no current results. "

"Oh... so lucky." Jiang Xiyuan sighed secretly, feeling a little hurt in his heart.

"That's why Chang Qing likes to chat with people, otherwise the Liangcheng policeman wouldn't tell me whether it's raining or not. There's a lot of luck involved in it, Mr. Jiang, you just have a good life, so you didn't say anything!"

"You're welcome, I didn't mean to do this..." Jiang Xiyuan said quietly, turning his head away silently, trying to calm himself down.

Is he still alive?He even fell in love with a man, is he still alive?If he can't get over this feeling towards Xia Chu, his life will be miserable.

He, Jiang Xiyuan, claimed to be suave and suave, he was always good at flirting with flowers and grass, and he could easily catch a confidante. Could it be that he just fell into the hands of such a guy?Caring for her, sighing for her, feeling ups and downs because of her every frown, smile, and word?Speaking out will make people laugh to death.

Jiuxiang's face appeared in his mind, he half covered his face with a silk fan, and giggled, "My lord, how are you doing this? You said that if you do this, how can you embarrass those girls who are sad for you? He Zhe is not that girls are neither fragrant nor soft, it turns out that you prefer the taste of split peaches, hehehe."

"Master, you can't do this. If you are a man, you can go to Zhiyi Building and molested the little boy and book boy. No matter how you say it, Xia Chu is also your subordinate. You can't treat the mansion as your own backyard." Let others misunderstand my relationship with you later..." Liu Qi would probably say this.

As for the beginning of Xia, she probably wants to fight with herself, "Didn't you say that you are not broken sleeves, sir! You also told me not to like you narcissistically, what do you mean now? Are you kidding me? Is it fun? Let's go." open!"

Jiang Xiyuan sighed, tilted his head and leaned against the wall of the car, "What should I do..."

"What should I do?" Xia Chu was eating walnuts and couldn't help asking when he heard Jiang Xiyuan say such a sentence.

"What, what should I do?!" Jiang Xiyuan was startled, and looked at Xia Chu in a panic when he came back to his senses, "What?"

Xia Chu was inexplicable and said: "My lord, you said 'what to do', how do I know what to do?"

"How did you hear that?!"

Xia Chu looked at him like he was insane, "You said it, how could I hear it?"

"I said it?!"

Chu Xia nodded.

"What else did I say?" Jiang Xiyuan asked nervously.

Xia Chu laughed, looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows, leaned closer to him and said, "My lord, what are you thinking? Is there anything else you want to say? Tell me and listen."

Jiang Xiyuan's heart was beating so hard that his hands were about to tremble, his throat moved, and he swallowed, "You...do you still eat walnuts?"
