The sound of the violin on the upstairs was a while, and then there was silence for a while. Yang Yue was sad when there was the sound of the piano, and he was even more sad when there was no sound of the piano. It was really pitiful to watch him this summer.

It is estimated that after half an hour, the rain has subsided, and Lu Yi just returned from the building boat. He seems to be in a good mood. Come into the cabin.

The two ships gradually separated, and Yang Yue reluctantly watched the building ship leave before entering the cabin slowly.

Lu Yi sat down with his robe up, and when everyone came in, he said, "Let's talk about it, can you find any clues in this girl Zhai?"

Gao Qing was stunned. He only spent half a cup of tea on the building boat. He never questioned or looked around. He really couldn't tell any clues. Besides, Lu Yi was quite fond of Zhai Lanye, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, forgive me. , I haven't found out about it, and from her speech and behavior, this girl Zhai seems to be ignorant of the river repair."

Lu Yi nodded, his eyes turned to Jin Xia and Yang Yue: "You?"

Yang Yue shook his head, he didn't even want to say a word right now.

This summer kindly reminded him: "Sir, you stayed with her for half an hour, and you should know more than us when it comes to clues."

"So..." Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want me to report to you now?"

"…I dare not to be in a humble position."

Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, indicating that his patience was limited.

This summer, I had to slowly say: "There are not many clues, but I can only see that Miss Zhai is quite nostalgic and treats the maids very well. She lives very close to the pier, so she should be by the lake. Yu sneaked out of the past, and suffered a bit of cold. Also, with all due respect, Miss Zhai is mostly restrained by others, and she has to welcome dignitaries and dignitaries, she should have other plans for adults."

Lu Yi was not annoyed, and said lightly, "How do you say this?"

"Her family has no shortage of money, but she wants her to swim in the lake with her illness. What is it that she has no plans for adults?" asked him this summer.

Gao Qing snorted and said, "It's just an occasional cold, it's not a big deal."

Glancing at him this summer: "Occasionally feeling the cold is nothing to ordinary people, but her congenital heart is damaged, and the cold is very painful for her."

"She's congenitally damaged? How do you know?" Gao Qing was puzzled.

"Every time she coughs, her heart is affected. It's different from a common cold cough. Can't you see it?"

"Then she lives very close to the pier, how can you tell?" Gao Qing asked again.

"... I really envy you, you don't need to think too much, as long as you know torture." This Xia muttered a few words before explaining, "Miss Zhai's shoes and socks are very clean, but there are mud spots on her maid's shoes, So they took a sedan chair before getting on the boat. If the distance was long, they would take a carriage. There were five or six scratches on the upper of Miss Zhai's shoes, which was obviously caused by the careless servant girl scraping off a lot of mud. A delicate and weak girl, such a large number of mud spots can only be contaminated when going out on a cloudy and rainy day, she did not take a sedan chair or a carriage, so she went out quietly."

Gao Qing was stunned for a long time before he said, "... Marrying her will cost two thousand taels of silver. This is obviously because the family wants to use her to make money. How can you say that there is no shortage of money to support the family."

This summer looked at him helplessly: "Brother, the red musk bead curtain hanging on the boat costs more than 2,000 taels, not to mention the square qin she plays."

Gao Qing was speechless, so he nodded as if he understood.

Lu Yi couldn't see any emotion on his face. He tapped the armrest of the armchair a few times with his fingers, and said, "So, what do you think she wants to do with me?"

This summer shrugged: "It's hard to say, her support family is the prefect's brother-in-law, and he should be comfortable enough in Yangzhou. Sir, you are from Beijing, and you have a good baby, maybe he wants to go to Drilling in the capital."

Lu Yi looked at Gao Qing: "Go and find out this brother-in-law, when did he adopt Miss Zhai, who are Miss Zhai's biological parents, who she has been in contact with, and the real estate in his name."

"Understandable."

As the boat sailed slowly back home, Yang Yue still had no energy. He tried to tease him from time to time this summer, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. She said ten sentences, and at most he said "ummm" twice. After a while, seeing that the ship was about to land, she sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "If you are like this, the boss will definitely be suspicious when you see it. You should pretend to be more energetic."

After Yang Yue heard this, he rubbed his face violently with his hand, with such force that his rough face was rubbed red.

"I don't want to, what's the use of thinking!" He said fiercely.

Although he said that he didn't want to, but there were still iron bumps between his eyebrows, it was obvious that he was wrong.

It's hard to say anything this summer, so I just follow him: "That's right, let's think about the serious business. What are we going to eat? The boss will be injured in two days. Should you give him some repairs first? Here I am. Although the money is not enough, we can go to the woods outside the city to hunt pheasants and ducks or something. If we are lucky, we might be able to hunt hares..."

The boat slowly docked, and Lu Yi did not give any other orders, and the group went straight back to the official post. Yang Yue told Yang Chengwan what happened on the boat, what kind of person Yang Chengwan was, and how could Yang Yue hide the strangeness he inadvertently revealed every time he said the word "Girl Zhai".

"Is it because of that woman that you look so reluctant?" He looked at Yang Yue and asked lightly.

Yang Yue was stunned, he didn't expect to be seen through by his father so quickly, and he didn't know how to respond.

Jin Xia hurriedly interjected: "Boss, you didn't see it, that girl Zhai was born so beautiful, Dayang just looked at her more. Mr. Lu, when he saw her, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't say two words. Just touch her hand in a word, she is simply a hungry ghost!"

"Xia'er..." Yang Chengwan frowned.

"Really, don't look at him pretending to be sane in the past, and when you see Sister Shangguan, she will close the door and talk, and it's less than half a column of incense, we heard movement inside, and once you go in, guess what... His hand They all hugged Shangguan's sister's waist! It's just a slut."

She was talking lively inside, but she didn't know that Lu Yi was standing outside the window. He had something to give, and he didn't want to hear this, so he turned his head to think for a moment, didn't go in and reprimanded her, but turned around and left. This summer, I only heard footsteps walking by outside. I thought it was a handyman in the official post, but I didn't think much about it.

After half a cup of tea time, Gao Qing came over, called Jinxia out and asked, "Lord Lu has something to ask, the total cost of renting a boat today is two taels, plus the tea and snacks on board, it's three dollars, he has already I'm making an advance for you for the time being, when are you going to pay back the money?"

Standing on the ground this summer, the whole person was petrified from head to toe. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "This ship, this ship... Didn't Mr. Lu want to rent it himself? Why do we have to pay now? ?"

"I don't know about this, I'm just asking questions for the adults."

For other things, the money alone is worrying. It costs two or three dollars just to rent a boat. This is not a small amount. She turned around anxiously, feeling that this was a bit unfair, and decided to talk to Lu Yi.

The door was closed, she hesitated for a moment, did not dare to push the door, but stood outside the door properly, knocked on the door properly, and spoke properly.

"Lord Lu, I have something I want to report to you, I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

"...Come in." The inside said lightly.

This summer, I rubbed my cheeks with my hands, moved my chin, and then suddenly pulled out a smiling face like a spring flower, and walked in.

Inside, Lu Yi has changed into his usual robes, half-old Yuebai is straight, tied loosely with blue silk sash, and is standing in front of the book desk and looking down at something...

"Lord Lu?" asked this summer tentatively.

"and many more."

Lu Yi didn't even raise his eyes, and stared at the case attentively.

This summer, I had to shut my mouth and wait obediently. The room was quiet, and only the sound of Lu Yi's fingers rubbing on the paper could be heard. She followed the sound carefully, and he was looking at a map with crisscrossing streets, so it should be a map of a certain town.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Yi didn't look up. Standing dry this summer, he didn't feel his legs were sore, but the smile on his face was really unbearable.

After a full cup of tea, Lu Yi raised his head, glanced at her, and smiled at her this summer.

"What's the matter?" He lowered his head again, straightened his sleeves, and asked casually.

"Master Lu, just now Gao Qing came to ask me when I will pay back the two or three dollars I rented for the boat. I think it was the Lord's idea to rent the incense boat. Why would you want us to pay back the money? He must have misunderstood." This summer said with a smile.

Lu Yi raised his eyes, looked at her and said calmly, "He heard it right."

"... This..." Half of this summer's smiling face collapsed, and the other half still persisted stubbornly, "Sir, this, this is not suitable..."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Lu Yi turned out after the book case, "You came to ask me to borrow money and said you wanted to rent a boat to investigate the case?"

"...Yes, that's right, but I didn't say that I wanted to rent the incense boat. The incense boat is so expensive, and I can't pay for it with Master Liu." This Xia reluctantly accompanies the smiling face, "Actually, the incense boat is rented by you, and Miss Zhai wants to meet her. It's also you, is this boat... "

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lu Yi: "Let's justify, come to Jiangnan to handle this case, and I will assist you. Whether you rent a boat or see Miss Zhai, I will assist you in handling the case at Six Doors. I also sat down, Miss Zhai, you have also met, you have the clues to the case, you have eaten most of the cakes, but I have to pay for the shipping fee, how can there be such a reason."

Now this summer's face has completely stepped down.

"...I, I just ate a few pieces..."

Lu Yi looked at her and said slowly, "Be kind."

Who is being dishonest? !
