Queen's Detective

Fang Shangshu Fang Hua's wife, Liu Shi, lost her beloved son and became insane, so she accidentally killed the book boy Amu who took care of Fang Yihan.

This is the explanation given by Fang Fu, and both Yan Sanbai and Guan Qingci are dubious.

It's understandable that Mrs. Liu is going crazy.Fang Hua has three sons in total, but the eldest son and the second son are not from the big house, only the youngest, Fang Yihan, is the old son of the Liu family and the biggest reliance for the rest of his life.Judging from Fang Yihan's ability to enter the palace to study with the prince, he must have been raised as an heir.

Such a long-awaited son died, and died eating plum cakes made by Mrs. Liu himself. Of course, this mid-year-old woman couldn't bear it.

But for such an extremely unstable person, the Fang Mansion didn't keep strict supervision, and let her beat Amu to death, which is not right.

Yan Sanbai's face was not good-looking, he rarely showed such an expression in front of outsiders, it was obvious that this matter had touched his bottom line.

"Insanity cannot be the reason for her to kill," Yan Sanbai said in a deep voice, "Master Guan, please take her back."

Guan Qing's resignation had exactly this intention, and Zhang Yan and others who rushed over one step behind directly took out the stunned and messy-haired Liu Shi without him doing it himself.

"Wait a minute, you two!" Fang Hua hurriedly stopped in front, his tone was heavy, "My wife has been hit hard these past few days, and now she is crazy, if she is put in the prison, she will definitely not be able to get out! My lords Can you accommodate me, for the sake of my dead son and her madness, let her stay and treat her illness..."

Yan Sanbai didn't want to argue with him, "Sir Shangshu, please rest assured, I will personally ask the national teacher to treat your wife."

At the end, Yan Sanbai added another sentence, "For the sake of the dead Amu. Human life should not be so contemptuous."

Fang Hua opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything else, the two of them obviously wouldn't give him face.

Guan Qing turned his head and said without doubt: "Take it away."

Mrs. Liu was taken away, and Amu's body was carried away by Dali Temple.Yan Sanbai's eyes swept over everyone in Fang Mansion, especially lingering on Fang Hua's two concubines and his second son.

"Lord Fang, where is the Eldest Young Master?" Yan Sanbai asked.

Fang Hua sighed, "Zhiling is still in the Ministry of Industry. He has been busy with business recently, and he can't get away for the time being. Master Yan...do you need him for something?"

"I'm just asking casually." Yan Sanbai didn't say much, Guan Qingci had already mentioned the specific situation on the way here.

Fang Zhiling, the eldest son of the Fang family, is 25 years old and works with his father in the Ministry of Industry. Although his official rank is not high, with Fang Hua around, he has a bright future.The second son, Fang Zhidong, is two years younger than Amu and is still preparing for the imperial examination.On the day of the accident, Fang Zhiling went to the Ministry of Industry early in the morning and was not at home. Fang Zhidong and Fang Zhihan went out at about the same time.

Then Yan Sanbai went around the Fangfu again, and asked some of the servants related to Amu some questions, and the answers he got were surprising.

"You mean... there are rumors that Amu is Master Fang's illegitimate son?" Yan Sanbai looked at the bloated cook with doubts in his eyes.

The cook was watched by such a handsome young man, and the fire of gossip immediately burned even more vigorously, "Otherwise, Amu has no father or mother, how could he be the little boy's book boy, and ah, look carefully, Amu and the master His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar..."

Ask other servants, and the answers given are even more ambiguous. "Amu, this is a good boy. He grew up in the mansion since he was a child. It is also because of the kindness of the master that he let him study with the young master. What a bright future he has. It's a pity..." "Oh... who told me We are servants, a good child, just died like this..." "Yes, yes, last time I heard that the third lady saw that Amu was handsome, and said she wanted to match him..." "Yes Ah, the third lady is also kind-hearted, so she gave birth to a gentle and polite second son, who is not like the second lady who worships Buddha all day long and never sees her..." "Hush, please keep your voice down, don't be overheard... "

There are always endless gossips and endless secrets in the deep house compound. After listening to Yan Sanbai and Guan Qingci, the biggest feeling is that this Fang family is definitely not strict with the servants, otherwise they would not talk about it. Broken to such an extent.

"Amu and Fang Hua don't look much alike." Guan Qing resigned as he slowly walked out from the inner courtyard of the Fang Mansion.

Yan Sanbai thought for a while, and said: "Three people become a tiger."

Guan Qingci nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Fang Zhidong walked over and saw the two of them, he hesitated for a moment, but still respectfully held out a salute, "Master Yan, Lord Guan."

"Where is Fang Ergong going?" Yan Sanbai replied.Fang Zhidong is still very considerate in the Imperial College.

"Mother has a headache, I have to go and see her." Fang Zhidong's mother is Xie Shi, the third wife, who is the youngest and most beautiful, her little face turned pale with fright in front of Amu's body just now.

"Does your mother live in that courtyard?" Yan Sanbai pointed to a small courtyard with the most colorful flowers on the side and rear. From his point of view, this small courtyard is the only one that fits Xie's temperament best.

Fang Zhidong nodded, "Yes, my mother loves flowers and plants, and the greatest joy of the day is taking care of the garden. My lords, I'll go first if there's nothing else to do."

"Of course, regarding your younger brother, I would like to ask the Second Young Master to express my condolences."

Fang Zhidong nodded, turned and left.

Yan Sanbai watched his back as he walked into the small courtyard full of flowers, his eyes flicked over a few flowers and trees.It seems that Mrs. Xie really loves flowers. Some flowers here are brought from the Western Regions, which are rarely seen in the Central Plains. Yan Sanbai even saw a few rice sac flowers in it.

"Is there any problem?" Guan Qingci followed suit.

Yan Sanbai shook his head, "Not yet, let's go."

After leaving Fangfu, it was almost evening.Yan Sanbai knew that if he didn't go back, Li Yan would probably send someone out to look for him, so he prepared to go back to the palace, but Guan Qingci suddenly said: "It's time for dinner, shall we go together?"

Yan Sanbai was slightly taken aback, this was Guan Qingci's first invitation, but Yan Sanbai wanted to decline because he cared about Li Yan.

Guan Qingci was very persistent, saying: "I have something to tell you."

Seeing the vague expectation in Guan Qingci's eyes, Yan Sanbai swallowed the words of refusal just now.Guan Qing's tone was solemn, it should be that he really had something to say.

So Yan Sanbai nodded in agreement, and the two walked slowly along Zhuque Street, neither of them spoke, but they didn't feel embarrassed.Guan Qingci has been paying attention to Yan Sanbai from the corner of his eye, but he is still puzzled in his heart - for some reason, he suddenly stopped him just now.There seemed to be a strange feeling in my heart, that he was very kind and trustworthy, so Guan Qingci also had the desire to tell.

The two sat down at a roadside stall, and Guan Qingci directly ordered two bowls of wontons as usual.Speaking of wontons, Yan Sanbai couldn't help thinking of the first time he and Li Yan ate wontons in the alleys of Chang'an City. The memory gradually deepened, and Yan Sanbai smiled.

In that room, Guan Qingci was talking to the stall owner. "Master Guan, you're finally not here alone. This handsome young man in white is your friend, right? I've never seen him before."

Guan Qing resigned and glanced at Yan Sanbai, his eyes softened, "Well, they are friends." "As long as they are friends." The stall owner sounded very happy, "It is always good to make more friends."

At this time, Yan Sanbai stood up suddenly, shouted to Guan Qingci, "I'll come when I go", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Guan Qingci was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Yan Sanbai would not leave for no reason, so she sat down and waited for him.

Sure enough, Yan Sanbai didn't keep him waiting, and when the stall owner brought out the hot wontons, he also came back.While sitting down, he handed the things in his hand to Guan Qingci, "Try it, the biscuits here are delicious."

The round, golden and crispy biscuits can stimulate people's appetite.

Guan Qingci had no idea that Yan Sanbai went to buy sesame seed cakes on purpose, so he took them in a daze. He smelled the fragrance from the sesame seed cakes, and almost immediately recognized that they were the ones they often bought when patrolling the streets. that family.

But today's seems to be extra fragrant.

Guan Qingci didn't say that he had eaten it countless times, took a bite and swallowed, "It tastes good."

Yan Sanbai smiled gently, "Then eat quickly."

Guan Qingci was eating, but found that Yan Sanbai's sesame seed cake hadn't moved at all, so he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you eat it?" It was the family that Li Yan took him to eat last time, and he couldn't go back to have dinner with him today, so he bought a sesame seed cake and went back to please, lest Li Yan pretend to be wronged and make more progress.Originally, he wanted to buy one for himself, but the old man only sold two sesame seed cakes, so he had to give up. "Your relationship with the prince...is really as good as the rumors outside." Guan Qing resigned.

Yan Sanbai smiled, but didn't speak.

Guan Qingci took a deep look at him, didn't say any more, and silently ate the wonton with his head down.

After a long time, probably finally feeling a bit embarrassed, Yan Sanbai asked: "I don't know what your lord wants to tell me?"

Guan Qingci finally became serious, but when he was about to say something, he didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he said: "If someone tells you the truth that you have been looking for, but this truth is not the same as what you want to see. What should you do?" "Did someone tell you something about Hongheling?" Yan Sanbai frowned suddenly, and his reaction was unexpectedly fast.In fact, after Mr. Mei appeared, he thought a lot, including the matter of Qingci and Hongheling.

This is definitely a hurdle that neither he nor Li Yan can get around.If Mr. Mei wants to make a move, this is definitely an excellent breakthrough.

Things really happened as Yan Sanbai expected, Guan Qing's resignation has already proved half of it.

Guan Qingci shook his head, and asked back: "Did Luosha really not tell you anything about Honghe Ridge?"

Yan Sanbai didn't answer his question, but looked into Guan Qingci's eyes, and asked suddenly: "Haven't you ever thought that even if Rakshasa saved you, it might just be out of a moment of compassion. Maybe he's not a good person at all."

Guan Qingci was stunned.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this possibility, at least if Luo Sha will appear in Honghe Ridge, it must be related to that massacre.

But Guan Qingci was unwilling to accept such a possibility. "But at least, he saved me." Guan Qingci said with certainty.

Yan Sanbai's clenched fist hanging by his side loosened slightly, and he looked back, "But at least, you are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Dazhou. You guard this mighty city and the people here, It's not about other people, it's not about the truth, so whatever the truth was in the past, that's never going to change."
