Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

For several days, Xu Guo followed Jiang Shiqing to sit in the cubicle on the second floor of Yue Tea House, and sat for the whole afternoon.When sitting on the first day, Xu Guo was so exhausted that he took several naps. Later, Jiang Shiqing asked him to stay in the mansion with Ji Dong as company, but Xu Guo was always worried that Jiang Shiqing would leave without a word like the previous time, so he insisted. to follow.

Once the young man became stubborn, no one could do anything about it, so Jiang Shiqing had no choice but to agree, but he was afraid that he would be too boring, so he had to coax him with some different snacks every day. The day before yesterday was candied pear paste, yesterday was chestnut cake, and today Substituted peanut butter.

That day, Xu Guo had only eaten half a bowl of peanut butter, so she jumped onto the low cabinet by the window and sat cross-legged. Her expression looked sad but serious, and Jiang Shiqing took a few glances and felt that She was cute, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Guo hesitated to speak, but finally sighed with her head drooping, and said, "I don't understand."

Jiang Shiqing looked at the person and said with a smile, "Huh?"

"Yan..." Xu Guo coughed, jumped out of the cabinet, and walked to Jiang Shiqing, "Isn't the master who solved it by himself, why does the master still send condolence money to his house now?"

A few days ago, Yan Youqian recovered from his illness and got off the bed. After running to the palace several times, he began to arrange Yan Lingyong's funeral in the mansion. puzzled.

Hearing this, Jiang Shiqing turned the rosary in his hand calmly again: "Since you are pretending to be innocent, you should pretend thoroughly."

Xu Guo scratched his face, propped his head and asked: "But the master is still dealing with them now, what should I do if I recruit people, if those people come to the house and see Mr. Yu Chuan, won't they be in big trouble?" ?”

Jiang Shiqing turned his head and looked at him carefully, reached out and wiped off the milk stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and replied: "If Yan Youqian wants to find me, he will naturally find me wherever I am." .”

Xu Guo suddenly realized: "No wonder the master has to come to Yue Teahouse to sit these few days. It turned out that he wanted Yan Youqian to come here."

But after a while, he became worried again: "But I still can't figure it out, what is the master trying to do to lure him here? Shouldn't this matter of human life be put aside as cleanly as possible?"

What Xu Guo said is correct, Jiang Shiqing really doesn't want to have anything to do with the Yan family, but he is not exhaustive. Now that he has come to this point, he has become a praying mantis, with a yellow sparrow buried in the dark behind him , he had to be more cautious.He believed in Yuan Mucheng in his heart, but he didn't believe in Wen Yao, besides, he didn't have much time left, and he didn't have any chips for him to gamble with confidence.

"I'm just afraid that Wen Yao's side will be too hard to persuade. If no one leads Yan Youqian to investigate Wei Ning's case, I will really become that person's borrowed knife to kill someone," Jiang Shiqing said, "No To be sure, it is better to do more preparations.”

The sound of hawking on the street occasionally spread to the window, bringing some life into the quiet room, but it was almost the time when the sun was setting and the peanut butter had bottomed out, and Xu Guo squinted his eyes and dozed off and almost hit his head On the table, Jiang Shiqing quickly supported his face, and Xu Guo suddenly woke up.

Xu Guo yawned again, and when she was stretching her waist, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Guo got up and opened the door quickly, Yan Youqian suddenly poked his probe in, saw Jiang Shiqing, and asked, "Is this Jiang Shiqing, Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Shiqing recognized him, but his expression didn't change at all, he got up and replied, "I'm right here."

Yan Youqian immediately stood by the door and bowed to him: "My surname is Yan, I'm a dog..."

Yan Youqian's voice became hoarse, and he didn't know whether it was choked up or too weak. He paused for a while before continuing: "The father of the dog Yan Lingyong."

Jiang Shiqing saluted back: "Jiang has met Duke You, so he was rude."

Yan Youqian's swollen face had subsided, but he looked too emaciated, his eyes seemed to be still swollen, no matter how he looked, he looked like he was still ill.

"The old man came here today to thank Mr. Jiang for his concern for the dog," Yan Youqian pondered for a while before saying, "It's just that I have something to ask, I don't know..."

Jiang Shiqing backed down and said, "Duke You might as well sit down first."

Yan Youqian came alone. After stepping into the door, he leaned on the edge of the table and sat down slowly. Without any detours, he said bluntly, "I wonder if Mr. Jiang heard about the night the dog was killed?"

Jiang Shiqing took the cup and said, "I heard it a little bit."

Yan Youqian asked again: "Then Mr. Jiang, has he met Cui Cheng?"

"Oh," Xu Guo continued, "Is it the person pictured on the notice outside?"

Yan Youqian's voice suddenly increased: "That's right, have you seen this man, young master?"

Xu Guo said: "My master has never seen it, but I have seen it. Master Cui once searched our house for people."

"Xuguo." Jiang Shiqing turned his head to interrupt Xuguo, then lifted the teapot and poured hot tea into the cup.

It took only a few blinks for the small cup to be filled with tea, but Yan Youqian watched anxiously. Jiang Shiqing quickly raised his eyes and glanced at him, then put the teapot down, put the hot tea in front of Yan Youqian, and Said: "Forgive me, Lord Yu, after Cui Chengshang returned to my house to search, Jiang's house lost something, so Xu Guo has a deeper impression of this person. What's the holiday?"

Yan Youqian wanted to suppress his emotions, but he couldn't help but recall the pain of losing his son. He toasted and drank a few sips before he calmed down, and said: "Young son is usually a bit arrogant, and I didn't intend to let Cen laugh because of Mr. Bo Jiang a few years ago. Yu caught the handle, the old man also knew that Young Master Jiang had helped him solve Cen Yu's case, presumably there may be some friendship between the two of you, now that the dog was killed and wronged, Cui Cheng is a serious suspect, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The old man took the liberty to come here because he wanted to ask Mr. Jiang to find this person, so that the dog can rest in peace under the loess. If you want any money, Mr. Jiang just ask, I will never negotiate."

"Mr. Yu's words are serious. Let's not mention the matter of money for the time being. In view of the relationship between Mr. Yan and Mr. Yu, Jiang should help with this." At this point, Jiang Shiqing suddenly showed embarrassment, but soon He hid it again, "It's just that last time when Cui Cheng searched my house, he already became suspicious of me. Recently, Yemen Village is avoiding the limelight and is cautious in handling things. If you want to find someone, I'm afraid it will take some time. "

Yan Youqian has been watching people for many years, so he naturally noticed Jiang Shiqing's fleeting embarrassment, coupled with the fact that he was indulging in grief at this time, and he was eager to reciprocate even a little kindness from others, so he said: "It will take some time. It doesn't matter if the day doesn't matter, but I don't know what inconvenience Mr. Jiang and Yemen Village have recently, if the old man can help solve it, I will definitely do my best."

Jiang Shiqing seemed to be deliberating for a long time before opening his mouth: "I don't know if Duke Yu still remembers what I said just now that Jiang Zhai lost something?"

Grief is grief, Yan Youqian still noticed what Jiang Shiqing said, so he also remembered that Jiang Shiqing said that Jiang Zhai lost something, and it was after Cui Cheng searched the house.

"Is that something related to Yemen Village?" Yan Youqian asked.

"It doesn't really have much connection," Jiang Shiqing said, "It's just a self-crime letter that the brothers of Yemenzhuang found in Ningzhou at that time. arrive……"

Speaking of this, Jiang Shiqing deliberately raised his eyes to glance at Yan Youqian, then lowered his voice and said, "General Yanhua was mentioned."

The General Yanhua that Jiang Shiqing was talking about was Feng Ruoping's only son, Feng Han.Feng Han gained military exploits in the Battle of Wei Ning, and then quelled the wars in the western region many times. From this, he was awarded the title of "General Yanhua" and the military power to command the Weiming Army, stationed in the Shengzhou Camp.

"Feng Han..." Yan Youqian's mind suddenly became foggy. After a moment of contemplation, he raised his head and asked, "Who wrote the confession letter, and what else was written on the paper?"

Jiang Shiqing shook his head: "I haven't found out whose handwriting it is, but the content written on the paper is too concealed. It is inconvenient for Jiang to speak. I hope Duke Yu will forgive me. But since the loss of the self-crime book, Yemen Zhuang's actions are restricted everywhere, I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone deliberately did it."

Jiang Shiqing acted very seriously, as if it was true, the more vague he made this fabricated self-crime statement, the more Yan Youqian couldn't stop imagining, so that he slowly convinced himself, let himself I believe there is something strange about what Feng Han did in the Wei Ning battle.

"Master Jiang thinks who is obstructing Yemen Village?" Yan Youqian asked.

Jiang Shiqing said, "Marquis Yizhong."

In Yan Youqian's eyes, Jiang Shiqing was an outsider to Wei Ningzhan. Since he could mention Feng Ruoping, it could further confirm Yan Youqian's conjecture that Feng Han's victory back then was a fake.As for what kind of false law, it is the unspeakable content in the self-crime statement.Therefore, after Cui Cheng discovered the confession letter, he secretly brought it back and handed it to Feng Ruoping. In order to protect Feng Han, Feng Ruoping tried every means to obstruct Yemenzhuang who probably knew about it.

Seeing that Yan Youqian was still thinking about it, Jiang Shiqing suddenly opened his mouth and said hypocritically: "It's my fault too, for casually slandering Marquis Yizhong just based on one side of the self-crime statement, this matter should have been resolved by Yemen Zhuang itself, Duke You don't have to worry about it, Regarding Cui Cheng, Jiang will do his best..."

Jiang Shiqing looked down at the tea in the cup, with a faint smile on his face, and then said: "It can be regarded as repaying the friendship with Mr. Yan."

The tea in the cup was clear and light, and when it was reflected in his eyes, it was instantly icy cold, but it was a pity that others couldn't see it, and there was still some frivolous killing intent frozen in those eyes.

-

The next day, there were quite a few people standing under His Royal Highness Yingchen, Liu Zhaoyu was still grimacing, but when he saw that there were all of them, he also sat upright and put on a majestic look.

After Liu Zhaobi's accident, he was questioned by the queen mother while caring about his brotherhood with Yan Lingyong and Liu Zhaobi. In the end, he was forced to reduce Yan Lingyong's punishment. As a result, Liu Zhaobi and Feng Ruoping couldn't explain it, and Yan Lingyong died again.He is a dignified son of heaven, he can't be ruthless and can't protect his brother, and in the end he made himself look like a human being inside and out.

These days, the same group of people who circled around him were still the same people—the queen mother asked him to search for people in Prince Yin's Mansion and Yizhonghou Mansion, and after a while Yan Youqian came to cry again, so he had to let Lu Tianrui go there There was no sign of Cui Cheng, which made Feng Ruoping feel bad again, so he led Liu Zhaobi to the palace to prove his innocence that day.

After all these troubles, Liu Zhaoyu was exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to get out of these things as soon as possible. It happened that yesterday Yuan Mucheng mentioned the matter of the Yuzhou Camp, and he called people to the Yingchen Hall for questioning early this morning.

"Yesterday, General Yifei gave the report, saying that the Yuzhou camp was running out of rations, but I was rewarded with military rations just a few years ago because of the victory of General Yifei in the battle, and the household department distributed rations on a monthly basis. Besides, there was no war in the northern border, and the military rations were urgently needed. There must be a reason, and today I have found General Yi, the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I want to talk about this matter, Xiaoan, since you played first, you should speak first." It was said to be a question, but Liu Zhaoyu was actually He didn't want to speak, so he simply asked Yuan Mucheng to speak after he started.
