Warm fragrance cloud around

Lin Junnuan was a little caught off guard by the development of the matter.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ahua asked someone to send her the news that the officers and soldiers had completely sealed off Mo Shubai's residence. It is said that key evidence of the case was found in his house, and he was undoubtedly the real culprit in a series of murders.

The case was solved so easily, Lin Junnuan always felt that something was wrong, tangled back and forth in the room for a while, but finally couldn't sit still, changed into men's clothes and went straight to Dali Temple.

This time, he failed to "encounter" Cheng Shaoqing again.The guards in front of the gate of Dali Temple today are very strict. Lin Junnuan said whatever he said, but the officers and soldiers guarding the gate remained motionless, neither willing to let her in nor pass the news on her behalf.

Now Lin Junnuan felt the huge gap between officials and people, as long as Cheng Shaoqing made up his mind not to see her, she couldn't even get close to him.

Didn't she just bump into him and cry? As for being so stingy!Lin Junnuan was full of complaints, wishing to leave immediately without looking back, but thinking of the truth of the case was still itchy.

Thinking back seriously, apart from her identity as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she doesn't seem to know much about Cheng Jiangyun, and she didn't even think about getting someone to inquire about it, so she followed him here and there to investigate the case in a daze. Why was she so negligent? ?

Lin Junnuan attributed all this to her persistence in solving mysteries and pursuing the truth, so that she let down her vigilance in front of Cheng Jiangyun.

It's not too late to start understanding now, it's time to rely on "local snake" Iowa.

Lin Junnuan gave up on being soft and hard on the gatekeeper, turned around and walked towards Ahua's house, and when her figure disappeared in front of the gate of Dali Temple, Cheng Jiangyun appeared outside the gate with a servant.

"Master, why didn't you see Mr. Lin?" the boy Guanqi asked in confusion.

Cheng Jiangyun's voice was low and hoarse: "She talks too much." Besides, I couldn't answer any of her questions.

"The little guy thinks Mr. Lin is very smart, and he can grasp the key points every time."

Cheng Jiangyun looked deserted.

"This case is also thanks to Mr. Lin."

Cheng Jiangyun was noncommittal.

"Now that the case has been clarified, Mr. Lin must be very curious about the truth. Shouldn't the master tell him?"

Cheng Jiangyun said lightly: "No need."

"Then, what are we doing here now?" Guanqi looked up at the sky.

Cheng Jiangyun glanced at him sideways: "Guanqi, do you still remember the origin of your name?"

Of course I remembered, the corners of Guanqi's mouth couldn't help twitching.

He was chosen as Cheng Jiangyun's accompanying student since he was a child. At that time, his child's temperament was not lost, and he couldn't stop talking all day long. His master Cheng Jiangyun was quiet and quiet. After getting along for a day, he was given the title of "watching chess" The name is derived from "watching chess without speaking", which means to let him talk less.

Okay, don't say it, don't say it.Guanqi pursed his lips, and took a half step back, trying to stand in the blind spot of Cheng Jiangyun's eyes.

The master doesn't seem to be in a good mood, so he should stay away.

"Cheng Shaoqing?" Hearing Lin Junnuan's question, A Hua nodded without thinking, "Of course I know, this is a very popular person in the capital."

Lin Junnuan couldn't help touching her nose in embarrassment, but she was ignorant.She always only pays attention to the things she is interested in, but rarely pays attention to the famous people in the capital.

"Cheng Shaoqing's background is not small. He is not only the eldest son of Jianyuan Houfu, but also the grandson of Lu Taishi. He entered the court at the age of 16 to serve the emperor. He was appointed as the young minister of Dali Temple just after reaching the crown last year. There are many rumors about Cheng Shaoqing , what aspect do you want to hear, my lord?"

"Tell me all about it, I'll listen to it."

Anyway, since I can't see him now, it's okay to listen to people gossip about him. Lin Junnuan changed his posture and leaned on the armchair, his eyes were shining, but he seemed to be listening attentively.

"About Cheng Shaoqing, the most popular rumor in the capital is the change of son in the Jianyuan Houfu. Cheng Shaoqing's biological mother passed away more than ten years ago, and later Mrs. Hou gave birth to a pair of twins. It is said that the Hou has never liked it. Cheng Shaoqing intends to change the second son to be the eldest son, but Cheng Shaoqing has the support of Grand Master Lu and the emperor behind him, so he has no choice but to let it go."

Hey, it turns out that the poor little man from a big house has developed such a cold temper, Lin Junnuan sighed softly: "What else?"

"Cheng Shaoqing is outstanding in appearance, talented and virtuous, and has always been the object of love for women in the capital. However, there have never been rumors of a marriage proposal, so... many people speculate that Cheng Shaoqing may be a broken sleeve..."

It's hard to say, Lin Junnuan recalled Cheng Jiangyun's loss of control when facing Mo Shubai, and the tears that caught him off guard, maybe it was not groundless?

"Any more?"

A Hua lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying: "There are still some gossips that have no basis and no basis. If they can't be taken as true, I won't say them out to spoil your ears."

"It's okay," Lin Junnuan waved his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile on his eyes, "Let's hear it, I'm very curious."

Ahua frowned slightly, and after some consideration, he said: "I heard that Mrs. Jianyuanhou intends to ration her niece from her natal family to Cheng Shaoqing. This woman is as strong as a tiger, with a face as black as charcoal, and she looks quite indescribable..."

Uh...Lin Junnuan imagined the scene for a while, and couldn't help shaking her shoulders uncomfortably. A handsome man should be matched with a beautiful woman, and absolutely not with a flowery and reckless woman. Outrageous idea, definitely a rumour, a rumour.

"next."

"There are also people who say that before the former Madam Marquis married into the Hou Mansion, she had a relationship with the current Majesty. The reason why the Majesty reused Cheng Shaoqing was because of his biological mother."

Even the emperor's gossip dared to make up, it seems that the world is too peaceful now, no matter it is true or not, it doesn't matter if this kind of talk is said in private, if it is made public, I am afraid that a large number of people will be implicated, Lin Junnuan sucks Sniffing, motioned for Ah Hua to continue talking.

"There used to be a young lady in Jianyuanhou's mansion, who was Cheng Shaoqing's sister-in-law, but she passed away ten years ago. Rumors say that it was Mrs. Hou who killed her. Lord Hou also knew about it, but he never pursued it. "

This rumor is worthy of his pitiful image, but its credibility is doubtful. If it is really confirmed that Mrs. Hou committed the murder, even if Lord Hou does not pursue it, there is still Grand Master Lu, how could she be allowed to continue jumping around.

Lin Junnuan leaned on the seat and stretched: "Are there any other rumors?"

Ahua shook his head subconsciously, but looked at her thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Lin Junnuan sat up straight in a daze, "Is there something on my face?"

"It's nothing." A Hua withdrew his gaze and lowered his head: "The little one is just a little curious. This seems to be the first time that the young master is interested in others."

"Is there?" Lin Junnuan tilted his head and denied, "I asked you to inquire about many people before."

"In the final analysis, they are all key figures in a certain incident, but Cheng Shaoqing is not the case."

Lin Junnuan squinted her eyes and thought about it for a while, it seems that this is indeed the case, but what does this mean, "The essence is still the same, following Cheng Shaoqing, son, I have more cases to investigate."

Don't be ashamed, if she compares herself to Sherlock Holmes, then Cheng Jiangyun should be the Watson character who guides her to investigate the case, yes, there is nothing else.

***

Cheng Jiangyun avoided seeing people, and someone would drive him away if he stayed in front of Dali Temple for a long time. Lin Junnuan had no choice but to change into an inconspicuous attire, and went to sit in front of Jianyuanhou's mansion.

It has to be said that Cheng Shaoqing is still very competent as a civil servant. It wasn't until the moon was on top of the trees and the sky was full of stars that Lin Junnuan saw him returning home with a tired face, without any entourage by his side.

Lin Junnuan stood up from the bushes by the side of the road, rubbed her numb legs, and was about to step forward to stop someone, but her legs were so stiff that she couldn't control herself, she accidentally stepped on the ground, and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time to stop screaming.

But this noise was enough to attract Cheng Jiangyun's attention. Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps ahead, Lin Junnuan just wanted to bury his face in the ground. He was so stupid o(╥﹏╥)o.

Cheng Jiangyun was always vigilant, regardless of whether the other party was lying on the ground or not, he tapped Lin Junnuan's wrist twice with a knife, quickly clamped her hands with one palm, and bound her chest with the other hand from the front. neck.

"Ah, stop, it's me!!"

Lin Junnuan repeatedly cried out in pain. Cheng Jiangyun finally saw her face clearly under the moonlight, and immediately let go of her hands as if they were on fire, stood up straight and took a few steps back, and said coldly: "Why are you here? ?”

Lin Junnuan turned over and sat on the ground, while rubbing his wrist that hurt from being knocked, he rolled his eyes angrily: "Cheng Shaoqing refused to see me, so I had to come to look for it by myself, I didn't expect to receive such a gift, thank you so much Already!"

Cheng Jiangyun's eyes glanced at the ground uncomfortably. If he looked closer, he could still find the tips of his ears slightly red. Unfortunately, the moonlight was too dim at this time, and Lin Junnuan didn't notice anything unusual.

"What do you want to see me?" The voice was still cold, and it sounded irritating.

Lin Junnuan took a few deep breaths slowly, and secretly persuaded herself not to argue with him. After a while, she calmed down and asked, "The case of Hua Niang and others has been solved?"

"Ah."

"The real culprit is Mo Shubai?"

"Ah."

"Where's the evidence?"

"The hairpins of the two deceased were found in the murderer's home."

"What about motivation?"

Cheng Jiangyun sullenly did not answer.

"Killing for love? Killing for revenge? Killing for money? Killing for sex? Which one is it?"

Cheng Jiangyun pursed his lips and said in a low voice after a long time: "The murderer didn't explain anything and is still investigating."

"That means the motive is unknown."

Lin Junnuan snapped his fingers, moved closer to Cheng Jiangyun, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I found something, do you want to know?"

Cheng Jiangyun looked at her silently, as if not interested.

"I'm serious, it's a very important clue!" Lin Junnuan couldn't help raising her voice.

"Do you still remember, the shopkeeper of Danqing Pavilion said that Mo Shubai would get drunk every month, and the time should be ten 56. I also found out that Huaniang would lock herself in the room every full moon night Here, I never dared to go out, during this time I must..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jiangyun suddenly grabbed her skirt, his eyes stared as if he wanted to eat someone: "What did you say?!"

"The treasurer of Danqing Pavilion..."

"The last sentence!"

"Hua Niang will be locked in the house every full moon night...is there any problem?"

Lin Junnuan looked at the person in front of her in bewilderment, but saw that Cheng Shaoqing was unbelievable at first, her angry eyes gradually turned red, and finally let go of her hand weakly, leaning her head against her shoulder, and muttered to herself absently with.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, is it really him?! How is it possible..."

After being at a loss for a moment, Lin Junnuan stood up slightly, and slowly patted Cheng Jiangyun's back with his right hand.The hot wet touch on his shoulder told her clearly that his sadness was not an illusion.
