"Fourth!" Shangguanxi finally spoke up and stopped him. After all, it's not fun to offend Jin Yiwei, let alone Lu Yi.

At the same time, Yang Chengwan limped out of the restaurant and went straight to the bearded man with a gentle smile on his face, looking at him up and down: "You, is it Xiao Xiao?"

Beard was stunned, staring at the old man in front of him inexplicably.

"You looked like your mother when you were young, but now you have a beard, but you look a lot like your father," Yang Chengwan smiled, "Is your father still in good shape?"

Beard, Xie Baili's son Xie Xiao, looked at him in confusion: "You, how do you know that I look like my mother?"

"Senior, who are you?"

Shangguanxi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Chengwan said warmly, "My surname is Yang, and your father recognized him when he was still a bodyguard. You probably don't remember me anymore."

"You are Uncle Yang... Find Uncle Yang of the Jade Buddha for daddy!" Xie Xiao looked at Yang Chengwan's leg again, suddenly realized, and gave a solemn salute: "Please forgive my nephew, I remember that daddy once took me to the capital to visit You. When I was a child, I often heard from my father that it was thanks to you back then, otherwise my father’s life would not have been saved. Uncle Yang, please accept my little nephew!”

As the leader of the young gang, it doesn't matter this worship, even Shangguan Xi next to him, and the surrounding gang members all saluted Yang Chengwan in unison.

Lu Yi thought silently in his heart: I don't know what happened to the Jade Buddha, and how did Yang Chengwan save Xie Baili, so that Xie Xiao respected him so much? Did this happen when Yang Chengwan was serving as Jin Yiwei? Or after he entered the six doors

In the city of Yangzhou, the official post and the back kitchen.

Magnolia flowers, gardenia flowers and hosta flowers, the petals were torn off one by one, wrapped in batter adjusted with licorice water, deep fried in oil, and finally placed on a bamboo plate, it is a fragrant, refreshing and crispy dish Tasty little bits.

The Mingqian tea on the other side of the stove has also been boiled, bubbling with fish-eye blisters.

Yang Yue took the tray, put the teapot and small dots in, and brought it to the backyard of the official station. In the backyard pavilion, Lu Yi was looking at the autopsy checklist Yang Chengwan had just finished; Yang Chengwan was sitting and waiting; and Jin Xia was playing with the sachet he had picked up, and took a knife to the sachet. The thread was opened, and it was turned upside down from the inside out.

She smelled the fragrance, jumped up, looked at the golden dish on the plate, and said with joy, "It's done so soon!"

"Dad, please use the experience." Yang Yue said and kicked Jin Xia, "... Young master, I can't find you even if I set fire to it, pour the tea!"

"Don't forget that I helped you pick more than half of these flowers." This summer, he kicked back and helped him pour tea for everyone.

On their way back from the outskirts of the city, Yang Yue saw that there were a lot of flowers blooming on both sides of the road, delicate, white and fragrant, so he dragged a lot of picking this summer, and came back to make small fried snacks.

Lu Yi looked at Bi's autopsy grid, raised his chopsticks and tasted a slice. The entrance was crispy, and the mouth was full of fragrance when he chewed it carefully. He smiled and said, "Linglang is very thoughtful, senior is very lucky!"

Yang Chengwan took the tea cup that was handed over this summer: "The dog is good for these non-professional things, making adults laugh... Xia'er, talk about the sachet, do you have any clues?"

"Hmm, um..." This summer, looking at the crispy petals, he had to sit down again, picked up the sachet, and said solemnly: "This sachet has fine stitches, and the stitches are used in flat embroidery, color embroidery, and carved embroidery. The carving and embroidery is the most difficult and the most unique, and the person must be skilled in female workers. After taking it apart, in addition to the orchid petals, there is also this!"

A small strand of blue silk that was thinly wound with red thread was held at her fingertips.

"The hair oil used above has Qingdai added, which has the effect of dyeing the hair. This girl, I mean 90% of the time is a girl's family..." She paused, feeling rather melancholy, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with me, but I don't think so. I hope others can see it. As for this fabric, it is Ding Niangzi cloth, which is originally from Jiangnan, so it is not unusual."

"Could this sachet be left by someone else?" Yang Yue asked, "It just happened to be picked up by us."

"Judging from the color, the sachet will not be buried in the soil for more than five days; if it has rained before, it will not be more than three days, and Zhou Xian was buried seven days ago. What's more, Zhou Xian has died. The middle clothes she is wearing also happen to be lotus-colored lady's cloth. I saw the stitching, and it was made by the same person as this sachet." This summer tilted her head and praised, "... This girl's embroidery is really good. , and the clothes are well done."

"Maybe she looks good," Yang Yue took a sip of tea, "So Zhou Xian has deliberately not brought his family."

Yang Chengwan instructed: "You pay more attention and be sure to find this person. She is so close to Zhou Xian, she should have clues."

"understood."

This summer, I hurriedly responded, raising my chopsticks to pick up the fried petals, and lost several petals in a row.

Lu Yi leaned over and took the small strand of hair, looked closely, the hair was thin and yellow, and the ends of the hair were often split. It could indeed be speculated that its owner was not in good health. He glanced at Jin Xia, who was eating and chewing heavily. During the autopsy, he felt that she was reluctant, but he did not expect her to observe the corpse's clothes in such detail.

"Senior, forgive me for taking the liberty to ask about something else." Lu Yi said.

"Experience adults please tell me."

"I don't know what is the relationship between the senior and the leader of the Wu'an Gang, Xie Baili? Why did Xie Xiao give this gift to the senior?"

Lu Yishang remembered today's scene, Xie Xiao and other rebellious people were willing to kneel on one knee to Yang Chengwan, presumably Yang Chengwan had some great kindness to the Xie family.

Yang Chengwan smiled slightly and said: "More than 20 years ago, Xie Baili was just a little escort who escorted a Jade Buddha for others. The Jade Buddha was very valuable, but he didn't want to lose it in the capital. I found the Jade Buddha, which relieved his anxiety."

"More than 20 years ago..." Lu Yi asked, "Senior was Jin Yiwei back then, right?"

Yang Chengwan nodded, but Jin Xia and Yang Yue next to him were surprised.

"Boss, have you been a Jinyiwei? Then why are you now..."

"Dad, you..."

Raising his hand slightly, Yang Chengwan stopped the two of them from asking any further questions, and said succinctly, "Shut up!"

The two had to be silent at the same time.

To be honest, Lu Yi was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that even Yang Yue didn't know. This former Jinyiwei has thousands of households. For some reason, it seems that he wants to completely dust off this past, and he does not want to mention it again.

"Senior has been in the capital all these years... Xie Baili didn't know?"

Xie Baili is already the leader of the gang, and the Wu'an gang is quite powerful in the Jiangnan area. If you know that Yang Chengwan is down, it stands to reason that he will not fail to lend a helping hand.

Yang Chengwan smiled lightly: "He did invite each other, but I'm used to eating rice noodles from the north and don't want to move."

Hearing this, Yang Yue and Yang Yue exchanged glances this summer, but still did not dare to speak.

Thinking that he has his own backbone and is unwilling to go to Xie Baili, Lu Yi did not ask any more questions and changed the subject: "This time Zhou Xian has asked Wu An to escort the river repair money, what is the purpose? Next, You have to deal with them, but the young gang leader has a really irritable temper, does the senior know him?"

"I haven't met them very often, so I can't talk about getting to know them. I only heard that three years ago, Xie Baili wanted him to take over as the leader of the gang after Xie Xiao got married, but Xie Xiao left home for some unknown reason. Running away makes Xie Baili very angry."

"Who did he marry?" asked this summer curiously.

"It's the Shangguan Hall Master you saw today, Shangguan Xi." Yang Chengwan continued, "Her father Shangguan Yuanlong and Xie Baili are brothers. Seeing that she and Xie Xiao-shi went out of the same family, they were childhood sweethearts, so they ordered a marriage for the two of them. After Xie Xiao ran away from home, Shangguanxi broke off the marriage to Xie Baili in person. Some people said that she broke off the marriage so as not to let Xie Xiao bear the reputation of running away from marriage, and some people said that she had another crush. "

"Three years ago..." Lu Yi recalled Zhou Siyu's words, "It was the year she chose Dongjia Water Village in Jiangning."

"The selection of Dong's Water Village was after the divorce, and later she took over as Hall Master Zhuque."

This summer, holding her cheeks, she recalled: "I think she is good enough to Xie Xiao, and she is a little helper. By the way, why does she call him 'the fourth' when she is in a hurry?"

"The two of them are from the same family. In terms of seniority, Xie Xiao is the fourth oldest. She is his second senior sister."
