Queen's Detective

After Li Yan ruthlessly vetoed his single guess again, he was actually angry.But Li Yan is his master, he can't break ground on this old man, he can only slander him as always, and then try his best to ignore him and get close to the hero he admires.

Yan Sanbai would explain to him patiently, the words contained teaching meaning - he seemed to see that Lone Ding likes to investigate cases, so he was teaching him intentionally or unintentionally.

Ling Ding felt more and more that Yan Sanbai's image was taller.

Ling Ding is actually very smart, and many things can be understood at one point, Li Yan is only occasionally poisonous.

Yan Sanbai could tell that none of the long-term attendants around King Luoyang was simple.A Lone who can often sit at the same table with the prince, and Amon who is like a smiling Buddha, and maybe there are others Yan Sanbai has not seen yet, the key is that they are all very good at martial arts.

This night Yan Sanbai slept soundly, because Li Yan had a wound on the back of his hand, so he wanted to make the city peaceful, so Amon didn't return all night, under the black shadow of Chang'an City, many cockroaches were killed Swept out, finally attributed to silence.

But Ling Ding seemed to ignore these matters completely, and followed Yan Sanbai to investigate the case wholeheartedly.

Because the clues were broken, Yan Sanbai decided to sort out the case from the beginning. It is one thing to find out whether the case of Li Qian and Cheng Rui has anything to do with Qin Sang. point of view to find clues.

This is a stupid method, but it is also the most basic and effective method. In a word, it is - check!

Don't let go of any clues, and check everything about everyone and everything that Li Qian and Cheng Rui have come into contact with.In fact, the people in the yamen had already checked it before, but because of the time problem, they only roughly filtered it, and this time it was more detailed.

Because Li Yan was going back to Chang'an, the case had to be solved within three days from now, and there was not enough time.But Ding went out for a day with Yan Sanbai alone, but found nothing.

Although Li Qian and Cheng Rui are both scholars, they are not classmates. Although there are occasional intersections due to various poems on weekdays, as everyone remembers, Li Qian is an honest person, while Cheng Rui is Self-proclaimed romantic, the two are not even friends.

One after another clues were announced to end without a problem, and each one might be denied, and everyone became a little anxious.

And when they returned to the palace under the sunset, the anxiety in the brows of Ling Ding was immediately replaced by consternation.

Many people gathered in front of the palace, and the concierge Po Ye was talking to them, more and more people gathered.And many people here know each other individually, they are the neighbors of Sibei Street, and Sibei Street is the street where Yuanfeng Steamed Bun Shop is located.He looked around, and sure enough, he saw the owner of the bun shop, Yuan Yiqing's father, Yuan Zhi in the crowd.

"What's going on?" Ling Ding was puzzled.

"Go and have a look and you'll know." Yan Sanbai said calmly, and walked to the gate of the palace.

Yan Sanbai was so obvious that he was discovered almost immediately.

"Hero Yan, Hero Yan is here!"

"Master Yan, hello!"

The neighbors greeted him one after another, very enthusiastically, and Yan Sanbai took advantage of the opportunity to ask what they were doing here, and at this moment, Yuan Zhi stood out from the crowd and explained: "Master Yan, don't be surprised, they are all old men, please let me know." came."

In fact, Yan Sanbai already had guesses in his heart, but he still asked, "Why is Yuan Weng?"

"Hey..." Yuan Zhi sighed, "It's not because of my family's Yi Qing, it's rare that he and Xiaoyue fall in love with each other, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, Yi Qing has already confessed the cause and effect to me, Miss Xiaoyue It's also a hard life, so I just want to beg my lord for mercy, can you give me a lighter sentence?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Xiaoyue is also protecting herself. If she doesn't resist, then she will die. I can't blame her..."

Everyone chattered, these people came here to intercede for Xiaoyue.

It is the sunset at this time, and when the sunset returns to the mountains, people also return home.There were many passers-by coming and going, and seeing the scene here, and it was at the gate of the Luoyang Prince's Mansion, they couldn't help coming over curiously to ask what was going on.

The story of Xiaoyue and Qin Sang spread quickly, like a stone thrown into the blue waves, and the water halo spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.More and more people echoed and pleaded for Xiaoyue.

Under such circumstances, people are always willing to show their good side, especially if this is a sad and helpless story.And this is a request from Yuan Zhi. Although he is just a bun shop owner, most people in Luoyang know him and agree with him because the buns he makes are delicious. Because he was always delivering steamed buns to Lingjue Temple unshakably, such a person must have accumulated a lot of merit.

Everyone thought of Erlang from the Yuan family again, and thought that this could be a good talk, but now the two of them are facing the possibility of being separated forever, so they feel even more embarrassed, and some people even have red eyes.

"Master Yan, please tell the prince, please forgive me!" Yuan Zhi pulled Yan Sanbai's hand and sincerely begged.

Different from Li Yan's impression in the hearts of civil and military officials, he has always been a very talkative prince in the hearts of Luoyang City people, and he has no airs.Yan Sanbai is so kind-hearted, he must also have a kind heart, so Yuan Zhi really held some hope in his heart.

Yan San did not change his face, and comforted Yuan Zhi with his usual smile, "Yuanweng, don't worry, the case is still under investigation, and the conclusion will not be reached so quickly. But I will definitely pass on your request to the prince."

Standing a little farther away, Ling Ding turned his head and asked Bo Ye, "Where is the prince?"

Po Ye wiped off his sweat, "My lord and Amon haven't come back yet. It's a good thing you and Hero Yan are here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it. Why did they invite the petition to the palace? Miss Qin didn't marry my family Lord..."

Yes, it's not reasonable to squint your eyes alone and petition to the palace.Generally speaking, the first reaction must be to go to the Yamen.The Yamen is the place where the case is judged. It is too bold to go directly to the Luoyang Palace.Although he also felt that Xiaoyue was quite pitiful, she and Yuan Yiqing were on good terms, so she could get out of the sea of ​​suffering, but it's a pity...

Eh?Lonely paused suddenly - where is Yuan Yiqing?Why is he not here?

He couldn't help but look at Yan Sanbai, Yan Sanbai winked at him, and his eyes fell on Yuan Zhi.Relying on the tacit understanding that he managed to build up during this period, Ling Ding understood what he meant, patted Po Ye on the shoulder to make him optimistic that nothing would happen here, and then quickly turned and left.

Alone soon arrived at Sibei Street, but did not see Yuan Yiqing.The official guard who stayed nearby told him that Yuan Yiqing went to the Wenfu, but he didn't report it because it seemed nothing special.

But when I think of the incident in front of the palace gate alone, I realize something else.

And at this moment, Wenfu.

Yuan Yiqing stood outside the study, stubborn, like a standing pine and cypress, motionless.

Surrounded by silence, he seemed to be forgotten here, but he refused to retreat.

After a long time, there was finally a sigh from the study, a pair of skinny hands pushed open the door, the old face looked at the student he loved the most in the past, and said: "Do you have to be so stubborn? It's only natural to kill someone. Miss Xiaoyue is destined to end up here with you, so why are you so persistent?"

Yuan Yiqing didn't refute, but bowed deeply, "Teacher, please help me!"

Yuan Yiqing's teacher is Wen Haicheng who once worked in the Imperial Academy, a veteran of the imperial court, who just became an official last year.

Seeing that he still persisted, Wen Hai finally softened his heart, "Forget it, I'll just let you go."

Hearing this, Yuan Yiqing's slightly pale face immediately showed joy, and he hurried forward to support the elderly teacher, walking like Wenfu.

Walk?Where are you going?Of course it is Luoyang Palace.

Yuan Yiqing lay in bed thinking all night last night, thinking of the bowl of hot rice, he felt that he had to do something.So he ran around all day today. He couldn't undo the tragedy that had happened, but he could try to save the people who were still alive!

Standing alone at the corner of the street and seeing the two people coming out of Wenfu, he immediately understood and couldn't help admiring—Yuan Yiqing was not like those who were stupid in reading, he valued friendship and had some brains.

He decided to rush back to the palace to tell Yan Sanbai the news, but when he turned around, a magnified face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"My lord!" Ling Ding was almost scared to death by him.

"Don't be so surprised." Dan Feng glanced over, and Li Yan covered half of his face with a folding fan, "Go back to the palace immediately and hold them back."

Ling Ding was puzzled, "My lord, aren't you going back?"

Li Yan didn't answer, but a voice sounded from behind him, "Because we still have things to do."

Alone saw another head poking out from Li Yan's back, looking at him with big black eyes--Heroes, you scare ghosts!

"In short, this important task is entrusted to you." Li Yan patted Lone Ding on the shoulder, and as soon as he finished speaking, he and Yan Sanbai waved their sleeves without taking away a cloud.

Leaving one person alone, messed up in the wind.

After the mess, look back.

Master and student, already far away.

Alone was startled and ran wildly.

My heart is concerned, why bother my life.

……

On the other side, Yan Sanbai and Li Yan came to Sibei Street again.One with his hands down, the other waving a fan, walked calmly, walked into an alley, checked that there was no one in front and behind, and climbed over the wall!

The clothes fluttered in the breeze, and the two entered Yuan's house smoothly.Among them, Li Yan's movements are the most skillful.

"You go here, I'll go there." Yan Sanbai said, and the two split up efficiently.

The old servant of the Yuan family was cleaning in the courtyard, when suddenly a gust of wind hit, and the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground were blown up, he looked back - where did the wind come from?

But he didn't see anything, and quickly lowered his head and focused on cleaning.

Yan Sanbai lightly closed the door, and carefully looked at the room where Xiaoyue lived.The room is very tidy. There is a dresser by the window. Judging by the color of the wood, it should be newly made.Many things in this house are new, which shows that the Yuan family is really kind to Xiaoyue.

Yan Sanbai looked carefully, moved his ears, moved his nose, and even opened under the bed to look.

In the end, he sat in front of the dressing table again, opened the dressing box, and saw Xiaoyue's face in his mind, imagining that she was sitting here now.

Yes, she would comb her hair with a comb, and rouge to hide the sickness between her brows, and she would spend a long time here, because it was at her lover's house.

Yan Sanbai took the rouge and jewelry one by one with his slender fingers, opened the rouge box, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.She has an elegant posture and a calm demeanor, and she really looks like a graceful woman from the back view.

He smiled slightly, um, very elegant and pleasant fragrance.

Outside the house, Li Yan walked by and looked in through the window, his expression suddenly became a little strange - he... what is he doing?

Yan Sanbai finished watching the wing room, then turned to look at other rooms, and finally came to the kitchen after a detour.He is meticulous in his work, and of course he will not let go of the kitchen, so he looked around again carefully.

Finally, he opened the cupboard, um, there was a bowl of sliced ​​meat, a bowl of green vegetables, a small dish of capers, and a plate of fish, more than half of which was eaten, it seemed to be leftovers, Yan Sanbai thought so.

"Hungry?" A voice suddenly came from behind.Yan Sanbai knew who was here without turning his head, he said: "I'm just investigating the case."

Li Yan shrugged, "I didn't find anything there, what about you?"

"I have a little inspiration, but it's not specific, and I need to think about it." Yan Sanbai didn't hide it, and closed the cabinet door with his hand, "I think I have to visit Xiaoyue."

"Let's go after dinner."

Yan Sanbai froze for a moment, then nodded.

The two climbed over the wall again and ate a bowl of Li Yan's favorite wonton on the street, then Li Yan went back to the palace to meet Wen Haicheng, and Yan Sanbai went to see Xiaoyue in the cell.

It was already night at that time, Yan Sanbai walked into the dark cell under the moonlight, the jailer lit a torch to lead him the way, walked through a long passage, Yan Sanbai saw the cell where Xiaoyue was locked up.As I had been informed in advance, Xiaoyue was locked up alone. The jailer explained the situation to Yan Sanbai all the way. According to him, Xiaoyue was very peaceful after being locked up. A barred window was in a daze.

When Yan Sanbai saw her, she was still in a daze.

A beam of cold moonlight shone in from the iron bed, and Xiaoyue sat in the moonlight, looking up at the window, very focused, even obsessed.

"Miss Xiaoyue?" Yan Sanbai called her, Xiaoyue turned her head slowly, saw him, and smiled gently, "It's Mr. Yan, it's so late, you come to find me Am I okay?"

"Girl stay here, is it okay?"

Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes, her expression suddenly became sad, "What's the relationship between good and bad now."

"I came tonight to tell you good news." Yan Sanbai looked at her seriously and said.

However, Xiaoyue lacked interest, "Sir, just say something, I can accept anything."

"You don't need to be so pessimistic, Mr. Yuan is running around for you, even Mr. Wen Haicheng was invited by him to intercede for you, maybe... there is a turning point for things."

"Really?" Xiaoyue raised her head, her eyes glowed with vitality again, she was a little excited, she was so happy that she was about to shed tears, "Yi Qing really did this for me? Is he still running for me? ?”

"Of course it's true." Yan Sanbai squatted down, looked at her at the same level, looked at her delicate face and calloused fingers, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Miss Xiaoyue has chosen a good husband. He really loves you."

"Husband...my husband..." Xiaoyue murmured, raising her eyes to look at the window again, the cold moonlight lit up a tear that fell from the corner of her eye.She was immersed in her own world again, as if she couldn't hear anyone's voice.

Yan Sanbai kept watching, calmly, without making a sound to disturb.

After a long time, he turned around and left with a sigh in his heart.And the woman in the cage stretched out her hand towards the only window, watching the moonlight pass through her fingers obsessively.

She opened her mouth and silently called his name, and countless tears rolled down her cheeks.
