[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Staying in an inn is not an option, besides, they didn't just pass by when they came to Yangcheng, they came here for a case, and they might find something by walking around the street.

As soon as he stepped out of the inn, the street was even more lively at the moment, Gongsun Ce listened attentively, and couldn't help but said: "This Yangcheng is so lively, if you want to come to Fu Zhifu to govern the people well, you can have peace here."

"Do you want to obtain meritorious service and serve the country?"

"I thought about it, but now it's impossible."

Gongsun Ce knew very well that he was talented and capable, and it was not difficult to obtain fame, but now that he couldn't even read a book, how would he answer on the test paper?It's not that he's not angry, it's not that he's not annoyed, it's just that he is surrounded by Huamanlou most of the time, which makes him unable to get angry.

Even occasional anger can be calmed down quickly.

"Where's Bao Zheng? You..."

"He is the person in front of the emperor, so it's no problem to make a fortune in the future. Originally, he was going to be granted the title of a great scholar. If he didn't do it himself, he followed us back to Luzhou. However, after the case in the capital, there must be other arrangements. .” Gongsun Ce felt a sense of sympathy for Bao Zheng, because he believed that Bao Zheng, like him, only wanted the truth.

No truth should be concealed.

After hearing this, Hua Manlou said, "En. If you go over there, something seems to have happened."

Gongsun Ce was startled, and smiled, "Why do you need to avoid this topic for me, no matter how stingy I am, Gongsun Ce will not tolerate this."

"You don't need to avoid it. If you know it, there's no need to talk about it. There's really something going on over there, why don't you join in the fun? Maybe you'll find something." Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Maybe it will help the case."

The streets of Yangcheng are so lively, maybe something really happened.

After Gongsun Ce nodded, he realized that Huamanlou couldn't see him, so he replied, "Well, go and have a look." He frowned slightly - no matter who Huamanlou was with, people would forget that he was blind this matter.

Gently shaking his head, Gongsun Ce followed the sound with his bamboo stick, but he had a hunch in his heart that the excitement here might have something to do with what they wanted to know.

"My little brother, what are you doing?"

"Oh, you don't know, I just came here, let me tell you, this... the prefect's family is dead."

"what?"

"Who died?"

Hua Manlou and Gongsun Ce asked at the same time, and the man froze for a moment, "Who else is the prefect young master, Mr. Fu, who committed suicide--eh? So you couldn't see it. No wonder, this is the gate of the county government office. The corpse Just brought it back."

Fu Xin is dead?

Gongsun Ce's heart sank, he didn't expect the premonition to be so strong, but he also didn't expect that he died before he even saw Fu Xin.

Just as he was about to ask about other things, he suddenly heard a woman crying, and someone walked by and broke into the county office.

Mrs. Fu threw herself beside the corpse, weeping uncontrollably.

"Hey, it's a pity to die. A good person just disappeared like this."

"Do you know where the corpse was brought back from?" Gongsun Ce asked, and thought for a while: "The county magistrate who was originally engaged to Mr. Fu also lives here?"

"Yes, here."

"Brother, please tell us what's going on. We don't need to lead the way. My friends around me can find the way."

The man looked at the two of them strangely, and when he saw Huamanlou, he smiled and said nothing, and just beat his palms with his fan out of habit. "Just go out two streets ahead, you can hear the sound of blacksmiths and then turn right, the first one in the alley you enter there is."

Gongsun Ce nodded and thanked: "Thank you."

As the two walked over there, the crying behind them gradually faded away.

Hua Manlou carefully discerned the voice, and asked, "Fu Xin's death doesn't seem like an accident. If you want to die, it won't be caused by your marriage being dismissed, but rather..."

"It's related to Gong Yun's death." After Gongsun Ce thought for a while, he continued, "He expected that we might look for him? We stayed in Yiye Town for a few days. If there is a connection between Yun's death, then he knows that we will find him, so he chooses to die to escape, to cover up something."

What is it covering up?Gongsun Ce had the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to say it.

Hearing that Hua Manlou didn't speak, but after answering, he suddenly pulled Gongsun Ce's wrist to the side: "There is a carriage, and, just turn a few steps forward here." After the voice fell, Gongsun Ce's wrist The force on it also disappeared.

The two turned around and walked into the alley. There was an old servant cleaning the fallen leaves at the door. Seeing that the two men were neatly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, they were stunned and asked, "You two... are you here to find my master?"

"No, come to see your lady."

After Hua Manlou finished speaking, the old servant was stunned.

Curly white smoke floated from the teacups, and the whole flower hall was elegant and refreshing, with calligraphy and paintings hanging, and the tables, chairs and stools all exuded a faint fragrance.

"The two sons came to me because of his business?"

"The girl lives here alone?"

"That's not the case. It's just that my father is away on business, and my mother has something to go back to my hometown. I stayed here because my marriage was delayed." , I don’t know how to call the two young masters?”

Gongsun Ce said: "My servant, Gongsun Ce, this is Huamanlou."

"Gongsun Ce...a very familiar name."

Gongsun Ce was startled, and cleared his throat uncomfortably, "Does the girl know about the Yiye Town case?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

Hua Manlou frowned subconsciously, and clenched the fan in his hand.

Sun Xiuning said indifferently: "I know, it's just a dead person. It's not surprising that a murder case happened in this town. The two young masters came here to ask me. Why don't you go and investigate the case with the policeman? I'm raised alone in a deep boudoir." How can the little girl know anything."

Neither of them expected Sun Xiuning to have such an attitude, but Gongsun Ce said, "But you know Fu Xin, don't you? Fu Xin died just now and committed suicide."

"He's weak, what does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you engaged to him?"

Sun Xiuning smiled, "Mr. Gongsun doesn't seem to know much about men and women. I am only engaged to him, not married. Should I be a filial piety for him? He has bad conduct and bad style. I won't treat his The revelation of the deeds is already showing mercy, what else do you want me to do?"

The harsh tone made both of them puzzled. This woman spoke so ruthlessly.

Misconduct?Bad style?It's different from what others said.

Hua Manlou was about to say something, but Gongsun Ce must have been in awe, and had already spoken first, "Then why did you break off the engagement with him? He has bad conduct and bad style? But I heard that he is a well-known talent in Yangcheng. What the lady said is different, is there another hidden story about the divorce, or did Miss Sun discover something ulterior and cannot be tolerated?"

"Gongsun Ce, I have been patient again and again, but you are aggressive. It is too much. You are not welcome in my house, please leave!"

"Fu Xin's death is what you want?" Gongsun Ce's tone suddenly changed, "Is Miss Sun really trying to force Fu Xin to die?"

The voice fell, and no one spoke.

After a long time, when they all thought that Sun Xiuning would not speak again, Sun Xiuning collapsed and sat down on the chair, crying: "He doesn't like me! He likes men, how do you want me to say it? How can I tell my family members and his parents!"

'Bang—'The sound of the box falling to the ground sounded outside the hall.
