I am a consultant in Kaifeng

The originally gloomy sky was getting darker and darker, and the sun was blocked by thick dark clouds.

Zhan Zhao waited for the steward of Li's mansion, and asked him about the arrangement of the carriage on the [-]th day of the first month. The steward replied in a straightforward manner, saying that he only prepared the carriage, and he didn't know anything about it.

Zhan Zhao listened to the steward's words, his face remained unchanged.

Du Xiaoning, on the other hand, was like a curious baby who wanted to know everything and asked everything.

"Steward, what have you been up to after dark that day?"

The steward was taken aback for a moment, although he didn't know why Du Xiaoning asked such a question, but he said it in detail.

After Du Xiaoning finished listening, she asked the manager unreasonably: "Can you repeat what you just said?"

Steward:? ? ?

Zhan Zhao:? ? ?

The manager was puzzled, but he still told the matter backwards according to Du Xiaoning's request.

Du Xiaoning nodded, and continued to ask, "Can we meet Miss Li and Aunt Wang?"

"Aunt Wang went to the Great Buddha Temple early in the morning, and said that she would ask the eminent monk of the Great Buddha Temple to save the soul of the fifth girl."

Du Xiaoning stood up and looked at the dark sky outside, it was about to rain heavily.

She turned her head and smiled at the steward.

"Aunt Wang is not here, so it's okay to see Miss Li."

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and hit the banana leaves in the courtyard.

There was some hesitation on the steward's face, "This—"

Before she left, Aunt Wang gave thousands of instructions, saying that the eldest girl should not be allowed to see outsiders.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If the manager has something to hide, you might as well speak up."

Du Xiaoning agreed, and said, "That's right, otherwise it would be a big crime to hinder the work done by the official."

Steward: ""

Without further ado, the steward sent someone to invite Li Zhen.

Probably because he didn't want to interfere with Tolerance's work, the manager stopped hanging around in front of Du Xiaoning and Zhan Zhao.Du Xiaoning put her hands behind her back, very much like Mr. Bao inspecting Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao sat on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked Du Xiaoning: "Why do you want the manager to tell you what you did that day?"

Du Xiaoning turned to look at him and smiled brightly, "Because I want to know if he is lying."

"Let him tell the matter backwards, and then he will know?"

"correct."

"Did he lie?"

"No."

Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly, for Mr. Du San who claimed to have ancient and magical intuition power, it was really not something ordinary people could resist.

Because it's really naughty.

—Like a magic stick.

So Master Zhan asked Du Shengun: "Dare to ask the third son, how can you judge that he is not lying?"

"When he talked backwards about what he did that night, except for a pause when recalling, he didn't say anything unclear, and the order was not wrong. If it is not a real memory, it is easy to make mistakes when talking backwards."

Zhan Zhao: ""

"You are talking nonsense! Do you mean that I killed sister Hui?!"

Li Zhen, who was wearing a plain dress, slapped the table, her face was flushed with anger, her hands at her sides were clenched into fists, and her eyes were shining.

"Young Master Du, you are from the Kaifeng Mansion, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. How can you spit blood on people?"

Although Li Zhen and Du Xiaoning met on the waterside pavilion of the artificial lake, Li Zhen's words reached Zhan Zhao's ears.

People who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people.

But Li Zhen's voice was broken, and he was not deaf, so of course he could hear.

Du Xiaoning said that if he was allowed to chat with Li Zhen alone for a while, he could find some clues.

Zhan Zhao looked at the bright and calm eyes of Third Young Master Du, and agreed.

Mr. Du San is proficient in all kinds of tricks of eating, drinking and having fun. He is a role model for dudes who can be included in textbooks, and he is indeed good at chatting with girls.

Mr. Zhan is full of righteousness. He used to be an informal hero, but now he is honored by the emperor as a fourth-rank guard of the imperial cat because of his high martial arts.He can kill the enemy in the battle, and solve the case in the next battle, but in terms of chatting with the girl's family, even if he starts to catch up now, he can't compare with Mr. Du San.

Chatting this kind of thing sometimes requires a little talent.

Mr. Zhan felt that what he lacked was this kind of talent.

Thus, there was the scene where Du Xiaoning and Li Zhen were chatting on the waterside pavilion, and Mr. Zhan was acting as a humanoid background by the lake.

The heavy rain stopped not long ago, and the eaves of the water pavilion were dripping with water.

Du Xiaoning stood up, lowered her eyes, looked at Li Zhen, and said softly, "Miss Li, I didn't say who you killed."

Li Zhen's chest rose and fell, and her tone was a little hurried.

"I'm just asking you, why do you feel hatred when mentioning Zhangye and Li Hui?"

"No one saw Zhang Ye and Li Hui leaving Bianjing, not even the steward who arranged the carriage. Miss Li, I heard that Aunt Wang is your aunt. Since she arrived in Li's mansion, your mother will be in charge of the affairs of Zhongfei. Handed it over to Aunt Wang. After she came in, your mother was left out in the cold. Two years ago, your mother had a dispute with your father over Aunt Wang’s matter, and she jumped into the lake to commit suicide in a fit of anger. Zhangye is your cousin. In addition to going to the funeral, I also want to marry you before your father's funeral is less than a hundred days old."

Li Zhen stood there blankly, looking at Du Xiaoning with incredible eyes——

The marriage contract between her and her cousin was never made public, how could Mr. Du know?

Did he also know about his cousin eloping with sister Hui?

Impossible, except for her and my aunt, no one else knows about this matter!

Du Xiaoning who heard Li Zhen's heartfelt voice: ""

It turns out that Zhang Ye did not escort Li Hui to leave Bianjing, but eloped with the little girl.

——No wonder Uncle Wang felt that it was Li Zhen who killed Li Hui.

The old man is really strange, he knows everything, but he doesn't say anything.

Li Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice: "My cousin and I were just kidding jokes when we were young, and we can't take it seriously. Third son, believe it or not, although I have hatred in my heart, I never thought of harming anyone."

The water in his eyes finally condensed into beads, Li Zhen hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, bowed to Du Xiaoning, turned and left.

"Miss Li." Du Xiaoning grabbed Li Zhen's sleeve with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Li Zhen: ""

She was in a very bad mood at the moment, and she didn't want to say anything more to Du Xiaoning.

The third son's apologetic voice sounded next to her ear, "I made you sad just now, I'm sorry."

Li Zhen turned her head in astonishment and looked at Du Xiaoning.

She was a little angry at first, but when she heard what Du Xiaoning said, she felt guilty again.

"No, it doesn't matter." The little girl came to her senses, her eyes were still slightly red, and said in a low voice: "The third son is also following orders, I just don't know the general idea."

Du Xiaoning looked at the shadow under her eyes, "Miss Li, hasn't been sleeping well lately?"

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Then the third son took out a fragrant sachet and gave it to her.

Li Zhen:? ? ?

The third son's eyes were bent into a bridge, and he said to the little girl: "Do you know Gongsun Ce? He is very good at medicine, and he is very good at making these things that calm the mind and disperse the spirit. He puts them next to the pillow when he can't sleep well at night." , can make people feel at ease.”

Li Zhen was a little hesitant at first, but the third son's eyes were very sincere, so he stretched out his hand to pick it up.

She took the sachet and looked at Du Xiaoning with her dark eyes.

Du Xiaoning smiled, "Remember to use it when you go back. If you think it's easy to use, if you want it, just come to me."

Li Zhen lowered her head and stared at the sachet in her hand, a little warmth gradually appeared in her heart.

Li Zhen took the sachet and left the water pavilion.

Du Xiaoning looked at Li Zhen's back, thoughtful.

If there is, she hasn't finished asking.

But at this time, leaving Li Zhen behind to investigate the matter was somewhat cruel.

——She hated seeing a girl cry the most.

Du Xiaoning sighed and planned to fight again tomorrow.

The third son, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly along the water plank road to the shore.

Mr. Zhan stood beside the weeping willow on the bank, very handsome.

The man's deep black eyes fell on Du Xiaoning, with a smile on his face, "The third son who is very good at chatting, did you find any important clues?"

Du Xiaoning glanced at him: "Didn't Mr. Zhan hear you?"

"She has hatred for Zhang Ye and Li Hui, probably Li Hui and Zhang Ye have an affair?" Zhan Zhao turned and left side by side with Du Xiaoning, only to hear him sigh softly: "What a poor girl."

I don't know whether it is the dead Li Hui or the living Li Zhen.

The rain that had stopped had started to fall again.

Zhan Zhao and Du Xiaoning didn't bring umbrellas, so they had to shelter from the rain under the same roof.

Standing under the eaves, Du Xiaoning looked at the rain curtain in front of her and said to Zhan Zhao, "Zhang Ye has an affair with Li Hui. The so-called Zhang Ye escorting Li Hui out of Yangzhou is just a lie used by the Li family to cover up."

"You mean, Zhang Ye eloped with Li Hui?"

"Don't Master Zhan mean that?"

The rain was a little heavy, and water droplets floated in.Mr. Zhan looked sideways at Du Xiaoning's thin body, and moved to the outside calmly, carefully blocking the water drops for him.

"Li Hui is dead. Li Zhen is theoretically suspected, but she cannot be the perpetrator."

Du Xiaoning agreed with this, but who killed Li Hui?

Li Hui is dead, what about Zhangye people?

Both were lost in thought.

The rain kept on falling, not only did it have no intention of stopping, but it was getting heavier and heavier, and most of Mr. Zhan's body was already wet.He thought for a while, and said to Du Xiaoning: "I don't know when the rain will stop, I'll use my lightness kung fu to take you back, okay?"

Anyway, it was raining heavily, and there was no one on the road.

Li's mansion is not far from Du Shangshu's mansion, he performed lightness kung fu to send Du Xiaoning back, but it only took a moment, it was better than waiting here to get wet.

Du Xiaoning was startled, then looked up at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao used lightness kung fu to send her back?

In her life, she still doesn't know what it feels like to be able to do light work.

The offer was too tempting.

Du Xiaoning wavered slightly, then raised his head, and replied very simply: "Okay."

Zhan Zhao smiled, and he put his arms around Du Xiaoning's waist.

Du Xiaoning: ""

Before Du Xiaoning could speak, his voice sounded from above her head——

"Grab it."

Then, Du Xiaoning felt like she was flying into the sky, ups and downs, the raindrops hit her face, her little heart almost jumped out.

The feeling of giving yourself to another person and letting him fly around like grabbing a sack doesn't seem very good.

Du Xiaoning stood in front of the gate of her house with a pale face, one hand was still tightly grasping Zhan Zhao's skirt, the knuckles of her five fingers were turning white due to too much tension and force.

Zhan Zhao brought Du Xiaoning down in front of the gate of Du's mansion. He felt that Du Xiaoning was still close to him. Looking down, he saw that Du Xiaoning's hair was slightly wet and his face was a little pale. He lowered his head, revealing a section of his snow-white neck skin.

This freaks out?

It must be timid.

"Xiao Ning?"

Du Xiaoning: ""

She silently let go of Zhan Zhao's lapel, looked up at Zhan Zhao, and said angrily, "I'm afraid of heights."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh, and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice full of majesty and anger sounded behind them——

"What are you doing?!"

"What kind of system?!"

Du Xiaoning turned around and saw Du Ruoyu standing behind them.

The old father had his hands behind his back, his face sinking like water.

Du Xiaoning immediately frowned with a headache, because she was going to spend so much time explaining this beautiful misunderstanding to her adoptive father!
