The moment Gao Qing saw this summer and the others, she had already thought about how Gao Qing would report this to Lu Yi, and how she should explain it to Lu Yi, she thought about it, and she felt that she was perfect, with a relaxed smile on her face. .
He probably thought that they were unranked officials, so Gao Qing didn't plan to come in and greet them. He only looked at Xie Xiao a few times, and then walked to the private room on the other side while talking and talking with others.
Yang Yue frowned, just as he was about to speak, he had already comforted him this summer: "It's okay, I know how to report back to Mr. Lu, so I can keep him from picking the wrong thing."
Xie Xiao didn't like Jin Yiwei, rolled his eyes outwards, and urged the shop assistant to bring the dishes to the table quickly.
Several famous dishes in Qifen Pavilion are indeed well-deserved. Among them, the steamed pork with spring bamboo shoots mentioned by Yang Yue is full of praise this summer, and thinking that after returning to Beijing, there will be no such good fortune, and eating and melancholy.
Yang Yue changed his usual interest in dishes, bowed his head and ate and drank, and didn't even talk much.
Xie Xiao looked straight and shook his head, walked around the table, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why does a man have no wife, he is just a woman, why do you have to make such a sad gesture."
"Brother, what you said is not to your liking." Jin Xia frowned dissatisfiedly, "What is a woman! What's wrong with a woman? Why is it not worth your men's love and affection. Think about it, without your mother, You don't even know where to reincarnate? Without Sister Shangguan, can you wander freely outside for three years
Xie Xiao was speechless, staring at her for a moment before saying, "Girl, are you drunk?"
This summer, I hiccupped and firmly denied it soberly: "How is it possible, my lord, when I hit the ground, I didn't drink too much."
"Don't say I didn't remind you, this wine is weak and has great stamina."
"It's all right... Why can't Sister Shangguan come yet?" This summer, he got up and looked out the window. On the gurgling river, incense boats and boats came and went. One of the painting boats was docked not far away, and a man wearing agarwood and silk clothes hugged a woman and was half-hidden in the layers of gauze, and the man's face could not be seen. The woman's face was faintly visible, her eyes were closed and she leaned on the man's shoulder, with a bit of sadness and pain on her face. The two cuddled quietly, not moving, only swaying gently with the hull.
Life is full of love and infatuation, and this hate has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. This summer, he turned his head to look at Yang Yue, who was holding up his wine cup and drank it, sighed silently, and turned his head again.
Out of her catching instinct, she could see that the man holding the woman's arm was a little weird, and she didn't know if he was injured. Just as she was leaning over and squinting to take a closer look, she heard a "thump" behind her, and Yang Yue fell headlong on the table. , unconscious.
The crescent moon with slender eyebrows hung diagonally in the sky, Xie Xiao resigned and walked on the flagstone road with Yang Yue on his back, thinking that next time he would not be able to drink this man again. This summer, he swayed behind him with two small packets of preserved fruit. The boss was going to treat his leg injury tomorrow. It was estimated that decoction would be indispensable in the next few days, so he packed the preserved fruit to moisten his mouth.
There is always a trace of concern in her heart. It seems that there is nothing to do today. She frowned and thought hard, but her head was dizzy, and she couldn't remember what she had forgotten. She went back to the official post all the way, settled Yang Yue, said goodbye to Xie Xiao, washed herself and went to bed.
Before falling asleep, she thought in a daze: "This wine is good, you can secretly prepare two jars for Dad with your mother on your back..."
This sleep was not stable. In the middle of the night, through the window screen, the sound of the rain came in with the spring chill. She turned over, suddenly woke up, and finally remembered what she had forgotten!
Oops!
He sat up in a jiffy, put on his robe and soap boots, and casually pulled up his hair. He didn't even have time to get the rain gear, so he ran straight to Zhou Xianji's small building this summer. The moon was black and the wind was high. She skillfully climbed over the wall to pick the lock and climbed up the small building. She was relieved to see that Lu Yi was not upstairs, and there was nothing unusual.
Did he forget about it too
Hearing the sound of clappers outside, it was already five watch, the shadows of the trees and the sound of the rain were cold, making this small building extremely desolate. This summer tired yawned, took out the flint in his arms, and lit the lamp.
I carefully recalled what Xia Lu Yi said: "... turn on the lights, then open the windows..."
- So she opened the two windows on the northwest side, and the wind came through the rain, she shrank her neck and avoided it.
"...it's the same as the night Zhou Xian hanged himself..."
- She looked up at the beam, she was a little embarrassed, she couldn't hang herself up. Turning her head and looking around, she saw that there was a pot of orchids on the table, so she made a looper for the flower pot with a piece of cloth, was wrapping it on the edge of the pot, and then hung the flower pot on the beam.
"...Then you wait inside. After the cock has croaked three times, you can blow the lamp downstairs."
-chicken? Does anyone around here raise chickens? If you can't hear the rooster crowing, you have to stay upstairs to celebrate the New Year? Very worried this summer.
Xie Xiao said it was true that the drink had a lot of stamina. It was especially unpleasant to drink overnight. She was dizzy and thirsty, and she couldn't find water to drink after turning around.
"Meow, meow..."
"I was thinking of you." This summer, he hugged the fat cat affectionately and put his arms around him to keep warm, "I want to ask you, are there any chickens nearby? Are there any? Are there any? They won't be eaten by you. right?"
"Meow, meow..."
The rain made the sycamore leaves rustling. I glanced out the window at random this summer, and was suddenly stunned. At this time, there are only a handful of people who are still lighting their lamps. Looking out from the window on the northwest side, it is a coincidence that one is still lit. lamp.
Coincidentally, it is also a small building.
In the blink of an eye, the map she saw on Lu Yi's desk appeared in her mind: The place where Zhai Lanye lived before was right on the northwest side of this room!
Could it be that…
This summer, I left the fat cat, took out a brass single-lens tube from my arms, held it in front of my eyes, and adjusted the focus—
On the other side of the lens barrel, the window of the small building was also open, and a tall and straight figure leaned against the window, looking a little impatient.
Suddenly, my hair felt a little numb this summer.
After such a long distance, this Xia could just understand Lu Yi's gestures, even though she was annoyed to death.
She came out in a hurry. She didn't bring rain gear at all, so she folded a canna leaf and put it on her head to block the rain. As soon as he took two steps, he heard Ah Hu meowing under the porch.
She looked back at it: "I have nothing to eat."
Ah Hu continued to call, his tail swaying softly, his eyes looking both hopeful and wronged.
"Okay, okay, come with me," Jin Xia's heart softened for the most part, and he turned back and picked it up, "I'll let you have a taste when there's something delicious."
Going to Zhai Lanye's house, he said that it was not near, and he said that it was not far. This summer, he had only walked about halfway, and when he turned around a rain lane covered with bluestone slabs, he saw a green bamboo tarpaulin umbrella coming towards him.
The person under the umbrella, with a slender stature and handsome eyebrows, is Lu Yi.
This summer was slightly stunned, and hurried forward to meet him, and said politely: "I am late for my humble position, please forgive me."
Looking at each other, Lu Yi was silent for a moment before he said, "...I heard that you had a good meal at Qifen Pavilion last night, and you also drank a lot of wine?"
Sure enough, this Gao Qing is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He expected that he would report this matter to Lu Yi, but fortunately, how to deal with it, I thought of it early this summer, and immediately made a sad expression: "You also know that the boss was right in the past. Wu An's gang leader is kind. Yesterday we inquired about Zhai Lanye's new residence. The young gang leader of his family was very enthusiastic. He had to invite us to the Qifen Pavilion for dinner, otherwise his father would blame him for being ignorant. If you don't eat, you won't give him face. Dayang and I thought about getting to know him better. It will be convenient for you to do things for you in the future, so we had to go out. You didn't see that Dayang went in vertically and came out horizontally. It's better than Dayang, but he's still dizzy now."
"So, you are reluctant to go because of me?" Lu Yi listened to her long speech patiently, "I have to thank you?"
"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, the humble position shares the worries of the adults, and the things that are within the divisions." This summer, accompanied by a smile, "Look, my lord, the humble position is brave and loyal, isn't that two taels of silver..."
As soon as he heard the word "silver", Lu Yi turned around and continued: "No hurry, we will discuss this matter another day... You are in the small building, can you get the clue?"
"I feel that when Zhou Xian hanged himself, he must have hated Zhai Lanye very much."
"Oh?"
The rain fell on the tarpaulin umbrella, and Lu Yi walked slowly with the umbrella in hand.
"I'm just speculating," this summer, she was still wearing canna leaves on her head to keep out the rain, and the fat cat squatted on her shoulders honestly, "if a man truly loves a woman, how can he bear to let her see his death. Deliberately wanting her to see herself hanged herself would probably be out of favor with the concubine of a big family, deliberately hanging herself in the hall, so disgusting that the old man and his wife had to ask someone to do a ritual."
This analogy is really awkward. Lu Yi was silent and asked, "Do you think Zhou Xian hanged himself because Zhai Lanye had another love?"
"It's hard to say why, but based on my years of experience in handling cases, I think he must have resentment when he died." She frowned slightly, "It's really unkind to let a beloved woman see her hanged all night."
The raindrops made the banana leaves above her head rattle, which was very pleasant. Lu Yi turned his head and saw the raindrops dripping down the banana leaves into her sleeves.
This summer, she continued to say: "Since then, Zhai Lanye moved out of this house, so it seems that she really has lingering fears about this matter..." She looked up at the green bamboo oil cloth umbrella that Lu Yi moved over her head, and couldn't help feeling a little moved. , This Lord Jinyiwei finally has a bit of a human touch.
"This cat is afraid of water, and it is very distressing when it gets in the rain."
Lu Yi said lightly. The fat cat looked at Lu Yi sadly and agreed.
"..." Jinxia took the cat down, wiped the water droplets on the tip of its tail with his sleeve, and put the cat into his arms, unable to help but aggrieved, "Sir, you don't think I'm too Is it distressing?"
He ignored her and moved on.
The umbrella still covered her, and half of his own shirt was wet from the rain.
After walking for a short distance, I suddenly remembered another thing this summer: "Sir, why did you ask me to stay in the small building before and go downstairs after the cock crows three times?" Even if Lu Yi wanted to try that night, Zhai Lanye had seen it. What, you don't have to let yourself stay all night.
"Oh..." Lu Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's right, last time you said that Zhou Xian was wrongly killed, I'm afraid that the small upstairs is not clean, and I miss you in good spirits, stay for a while, the general manager of Zhenyizhen It's good."
"You..." This summer is about to cry without tears, "Sir, are you kidding me?"
"In your eyes, I am this kind of person?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
This summer, I was choked for a while, and said sternly: "Of course not, I can fully understand that the adults are doing this to train me."
"It's okay if you think so."
Lu Yishi Shiran continued to move forward.
