Queen's Detective

Wang Min knelt in the mourning hall, dressed in filial piety.He stared blankly at the black coffin in front of him, and knelt for a long time without changing his posture.Wang Wan squatted beside her burning paper money, staring at the flames with her big eyes, not knowing what happened at home in her little head.

The coffin had just been brought back by the people from Jingzhao Mansion after the autopsy. Wang Min only took a look inside, and ordered people to quickly set up the mourning hall.Now Uncle Zhong is bedridden, because of what he has done, it is not appropriate to meddle in the affairs of the family anymore, so all the burdens are on Wang Min's shoulders.

Fortunately, the young master is already able to take charge of himself, the servants in the mansion thought so.

However, Wang Wan knew that her brother was very sad and sad, so she wanted to stay by his side and be an obedient daughter.

At night, Wang Min wanted to keep watch for Wang Jingchuan, and Wang Wan's small body was nestled by his side, unwilling to leave.Yan Sanbai came out of the quiet hall, and walked into the mourning hall with food, seeing the backs of the big and the small in the candlelight, he couldn't help but sighed.

"It's okay to watch the spirit, but you still have to eat?" Yan Sanbai put the food in front of them, with a gentle tone, "Your father has a spirit in heaven, so I think he doesn't want to see his children starve in front of his spirit."

Wang Min looked up at him, his eyes finally regained some light, he opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat was also very dry, "Brother Yan..."

"Big brother." Wang Wan also called out.

Wang Wan stared at the delicious food with her big dark eyes, and touched her stomach with her small hands.But she looked up at her brother again, he didn't move, and she didn't move either.

Yan Sanbai patted her head, and said to Wang Min: "You don't want to eat, but your sister will?"

Wang Min looked at his little sister with pity, and then nodded.

The two brothers and sisters began to eat with big mouthfuls. Wang Min ate plain rice without adding any vegetables. He chewed very hard, and he didn't know who he was competing with.Wang Wan was not much better either, she was not very good at using chopsticks, and the rice grains fell out of her mouth, presumably she was extremely hungry.

Yan Sanbai looked distressed, so he sat down on the futon next to him, picked up the extra pair of chopsticks, and picked up vegetables for them.

Looking at the meat that suddenly appeared in the bowl, Wang Min's movements finally slowed down, his eyes were slightly red.

"Thank you big brother." The innocent child's voice suddenly sounded, and Wang Min turned his head to see the lovely smile on his younger sister's face, and the spine that was about to collapse suddenly straightened a lot.

Wang Min nodded to Yan Sanbai, Yan Sanbai shook his head, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the rice grains from the corner of Wang Wan's mouth.

After eating, Wang Wan felt a little sleepy.She was also very close to Yan Sanbai, so Yan Sanbai hugged her into his arms so that she could lie down more comfortably without catching cold.Wang Wan rested her head on his chest and soon fell asleep.

At this time, Wang Min suddenly asked: "Brother Yan, do you... have something to tell me?"

Yan Sanbai nodded, the candle flickered, and saw the two whispering to each other, Wang Min frowned, surprised, and resented, and stayed almost midnight before Yan Sanbai came out of the mourning hall with Wang Wan in his arms.

On the way, I happened to meet Lu Lingge.

Lu Lingge was also wearing mourning clothes, seeing Yan Sanbai hugging Wang Wan, he couldn't help cupping his fists and saying 'thank you'.

He was going to guard his senior brother for the rest of the night, and Yan Sanbai was just an outsider, so it was difficult for him to have a heart.The two didn't say much, and left separately.

At noon the next day, everything was safe and sound.

Wang Jingchuan's body was still quietly parked in the mourning hall, and the bells in front of Zhongbo's gate no longer rang, and Wang Qi and Lu Boyuan were still carried by Guan Qingci, wandering around Chang'an City, complaining endlessly.The black cat walked gracefully, as usual, patrolling its territory on the courtyard wall.

However—an exclamation broke the silence.

"Come on people!"

"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong committed suicide by taking poison!"

Uncle Zhong's death was very tragic, his face was pale and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but with his eyes closed, he seemed to have died peacefully.

Yan Sanbai turned his head helplessly, taking precautions, but he couldn't prevent him from wanting to die.

Wang Min was also silent, as if he had been greatly shocked, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "Preparing for the funeral, I will arrange the funeral of my father and Uncle Zhong together."

Lu Lingge stood outside and didn't go in. When he went in, he looked sad. Uncle Zhong also watched him grow up.In the current situation, I don't know who to blame.

Now that Uncle Zhong is dead, including Quanfu of Jibaotang, three people have died in this case, and the impact is not small.Even if Yan Sanbai had those two tokens, he couldn't delay.Moreover, once Uncle Zhong died, his testimony became a death certificate, and Lu Shuangxing could hardly escape suspicion.

Wang Min didn't want to procrastinate any longer, "Brother Yan, please close the case quickly, so as to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."

"This...maybe there is something else hidden?" Lu Lingge hesitated, and persuaded.

Wang Min clenched her fists tightly, losing control of her emotions, "My father is dead, who else could be the murderer besides Lu Shuangxing? Only he will come back, right?"

Lu Lingge sighed, and finally stopped talking.

Yan Sanbai pondered for a while, and said: "If you insist, I can indeed convict Lu Shuangxing. But, what about the case where the old head was killed more than ten years ago? If Master Wang really killed the old head, then Lu Shuangxing Killing Master Wang was just for revenge, if you kill him now, when will you repay your injustice?"

A gleam of pain flashed in Wang Min's eyes, "But the revenge of killing my father is irresistible, how can I not avenge it?"

Yan Sanbai was silent for a moment, then backed down, "Then I will go to Dali Temple now, and interrogate him again at the end."

Yan Sanbai left Wang's mansion, and Ling Ding came out with him. He was sent by the prince to help Yan Sanbai, not to help Wang's mansion.

Yan Sanbai saw Lu Shuangxing again, he still went alone this time, no one knew what he talked with Lu Shuangxing inside, only knew that when he came out, he sighed and called Guan Qingci.

"This case can be closed, Lord Guan, please prepare the paperwork." The testimony of Guigui Laixi and Zhong Bo is solid evidence, and now there is no evidence to prove Lu Shuangxing's innocence, no matter how much Lu Shuangxing quibbles, no one will believe him .It's just that even though it's a matter of Jianghu, the case happened at the feet of the emperor after all, so we still have to leave a document in Dali Temple for record.

The case was presided over by Yan Sanbai, and Guan Qingci could not find a reason to refute this conclusion, so he could only obey.

Lone Ding is a clever one, seeing that the matter has come to an end, he hurried to the palace to report to his master.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan was not too surprised when he heard it, but just stuffed a fruit in his mouth, Danfeng narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, it's kind of interesting. Lingding, let's go."

Ling Ding was puzzled, "My lord, you have just returned to the palace, where are you going?"

"Going out of the palace, um, maybe I have to go out of the city." Li Yan said that he was about to leave.

Ling Ding was in a hurry, "Oh my lord! The queen mother will come looking for someone again later!"

"Hush—" Li Yan turned his head, put his index finger on his lips and winked at him, "Let's go secretly."

The next day, that is, the fourth day after Wang Jingchuan was killed, Wang Min attended the funeral for his father and old servant Zhongbo.Uncle Zhong was buried in the ground for peace, but when he arrived at Wang Jingchuan's place, Wang Min refused to allow him to be buried, and lit the firewood himself to cremate his father.

Facing the eyes of the flames, the boy kneeling on the ground took out another object from his arms and threw it into the fire to be buried with his father—it was the condemnation document with Yan Sanbai's seal on it.

He knelt on the ground to collect the ashes, turned around and said to Lu Lingge who was always by his side, "Master, my father once said that if he dies, he will bring his ashes back to the back mountain of Hepai and bury him with Grand Master Let's get together, please agree to Master." Lu Lingge patted him on the shoulder, "Of course, so Master won't be too lonely."

Wang Min paused, and then said, "Nephew, I have another merciless request."

"But it doesn't matter."

Wang Min looked at Yan Sanbai, who nodded, so he said: "I begged Brother Yan, I want to bring Lu Shuangxing back to the He Sect, and avenge him at my father's grave."

"This..." Lu Lingge said: "Senior brother Lu is highly skilled in martial arts, and he can be temporarily locked up in the black iron cell. If it's another place..."

Yan Sanbai said: "Master Lu, don't worry, I will go with you at that time."

Lu Lingge's eyes darkened slightly, then she nodded, "That's good."

The funeral process took a long time, but the Wang family didn't have any relatives in Chang'an City, so the follow-up was nothing serious.Wang Min arranged the affairs at home, and set off with Lu Lingge and his two disciples half an hour before the city gate closed.

Yan Sanbai set off from Dali Temple with Lu Shuangxing, and Guan Qingci sent Zhang Yan to accompany him, so that he could take care of him.

Lu Shuangxing sat on the horseback with shackles on his hands, shaking with the bumps of the horseback.However, he looked calm, and when he left the city gate, he took a breath of fresh air outside the city, looking very comfortable.

But there are still some fly in the ointment.

"Brother from Dali Temple, can you give me a cigarette?"

It was the first time Zhang Yan saw a sentenced prisoner so leisurely, "Come on, you have been acupunctured, so why don't you want me to serve you?"

"Tsk, your Dali Temple is really unreasonable."

Zhang Yan asked back: "How can you handle the case impartially when you are close to favor?"

Lu Shuangxing couldn't help but looked at him with admiration, "That makes sense."

At this moment, Lu Shuangxing's nose twitched, "It smells like roasted sweet potatoes."

In fact, he didn't need to say it, Yan Sanbai and Wang Min in front also smelled it.Yan Sanbai rubbed his stomach, feeling a little strange—why does this roasted sweet potato feel familiar?

Yan Sanbai couldn't help but take a look from a distance, and suddenly realized—ah, it's Shiliting!

Looking from a distance, I saw two people wearing bamboo hats sitting in the pavilion, one in red and one in green.The two lit a bonfire, stringed two sweet potatoes on a bamboo pole, and baked them repeatedly on the fire. Curls of smoke and fragrance wafted down the official road.

Yan Sanbai rode his horse over, but before he could speak, the man in red suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile through the gauze curtain on the bamboo hat, "Where do you want to go, my lord?"

"Diancang Mountain."

"Can you take me for a ride?"

"Why?"

The man chuckled, "There are many wonderful guests in the Ten Mile Pavilion, and I see that the young master is also a wonderful person, why don't you be my company?"

Yan Sanbai smiled, "Walking together also requires fate, my son is covering the gauze curtain, how do I know if you are my match?"

Wang Min, Lu Lingge and the others also rode over and felt confused when they saw Yan Sanbai strike up a conversation with a passerby.This conversation seems to be a hidden mystery.

At this time, I saw that person opened the gauze curtain with a folding fan, revealing a handsome and familiar face.

"How? Is it still in your eye?" The man asked with a smile.

Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, it was acquiescence.Facing the person in front of him, who would dare to say no?

"The King of Luoyang!" Lu Lingge was surprised, and the others were also quite surprised. Wasn't the King of Luoyang recalled to the palace?Why did it appear here again.

Just looking at Yan Sanbai's expression, he seemed to have recognized him a long time ago.

In addition to the bamboo hat, Li Yan patted the soot on his clothes, stood up, "Mr. Wang, Master Lu, this king wants to go to Cangshan Mountain together, is it okay?"

Wang Min nodded quickly, "Of course."

Lu Lingge pursed her lips, and couldn't tell whether she was welcome or not.

Li Yan was very satisfied, and casually took a roasted sweet potato and handed it to Wang Min, "For you to eat."

Wang Min froze for a moment before taking it.Not flattered, but... the mighty king of Luoyang, why did you give him a roasted sweet potato?

At this moment, Lone Ding brought their horse over, and Li Yan got on the horse, and while standing side by side with Yan Sanbai, he took out a roasted sweet potato and handed it over as if by magic, "A greeting gift for traveling together."

Ling Ding turned out a pair of dead fish eyes in the back——My lord, I feel ashamed of you, and you gave me the roasted sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato, see also sweet potato.

Yan Sanbai took it and saw a round hole in the center of the sweet potato, and then he understood why the roasted sweet potato had holes in it the first time he saw it at Shiliting.

I dare to say that the sweet potatoes were really skewered and roasted on the branches. Li Yan really has a leisurely heart. Seeing that the hole is so round, it must have used his internal strength.

But the fragrance is really fragrant, the fragrance is drilled out of the small hole, no wonder it can spread so far.

Yan Sanbai slowly peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, saw the golden-yellow flesh, tasted it, the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth, and the temperature was just right.

He smiled slightly at Li Yan, and accepted the meeting gift for the time being.
