old acquaintance
When Jing Changji went to Yipinzhai, his subordinates presented the news to Wei Yin.
The servant didn't dare to raise his eyes, he just took the secret report on the low table and read it out one by one.
There are two copies of the secret report, one is Jing Changji's whereabouts in the past few hours when he left the mansion, everything is detailed, including the theater in front of him when he left the mansion, how to find out the person who drugged him that night in a few words, and how to find Xu Chunsheng Questions and answers; the other one is the person who prescribes the drug just found out by the dark guard one step later: Gong Yuwei, the second son of Gong Jijiu, the son of the Imperial Academy.
Submitted one after the other, but an hour later than Jing Changji's.
The subordinate who came to present the news knelt on one knee and his heart was beating so tiredly. The dragon in the Nuan Pavilion was burning, but his back was covered in cold sweat. He just waited for the servant to finish reading and bowed his head and stepped aside: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please be punished by the lord."
Wei Yin was still lying on his side on the couch, his eyes were closed from the beginning to the end, as if he was taking a nap.
For a moment, the entire Nuan Pavilion was surprisingly quiet, and the breathing was so light that it could not be heard.
The subordinates also couldn't figure out why the second young master of the Jing family was so powerful. Not to mention the things they worked so hard to find out with hidden clues in a few words, and even no clues about the past, but they were contradictory. If he is so powerful, why? Knowing the way of the Gong family son?
Wei Yin finally made a movement, but he just waved his wide sleeve lightly: "Continue to follow, let someone find out what happened before and after Huo Er was grounded, and the origin of that jade pendant. Today's duty is over, and I go to receive the punishment."
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes." Although a hundred whips would cost half his life, he survived anyway.
On the other side, Jing Changji didn't get off the carriage directly when he arrived near Yipinzhai.
He opened the corner of the car curtain, handed the attendant a piece of broken silver, and bought a half mask of fairly good quality.
It's not appropriate to go to Yipinzhai wearing a veiled hat, but he doesn't want to expose his appearance and let people pry into his identity.
He has been well-known in Bianjing these years, and he is very famous in Bianjing with a few playboys. Many people have seen him and know his identity.
He is now one of the suspects who killed Huo Er. Appearing in Yipinzhai will inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups. When he reports to the palace, Wei Yin will not give up regardless of the matter. Make trouble.
Jing Changji is a frequent visitor to Yipinzhai, and it stands to reason that the juniors would recognize him when he comes in, but at the moment his face is half covered, and his demeanor is completely opposite to that of seventeen or eighteen years old, so he was not recognized.
The waiter from the shopkeeper felt that the figure of the young man was familiar, but he glanced at Shangjing Changji's deep and cold gaze, and immediately turned away without daring to look any further. The oppression of the superior made them understand that this was A master who is not easy to offend.
Jing Changji took two attendants up to the second floor. He didn't ask for a box, but sat in a corner of the second floor and listened to the diners around.
When Xiao Er came forward, he lowered his voice, he sounded like he was in his twenties, and he would not let Xiao Er think about Jing Changji.
Jing Changji ordered five or six special signature dishes in one go, Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he became more and more enthusiastic about Jing Changji.
Jing Changji waited for Xiao Er to leave, took out a piece of broken silver, and lowered his voice: "Is it convenient to ask the little brother about something?"
Xiao Er hesitated for a while, shifted his body to block the eyes of others, and secretly put away the broken money: "What is this master looking for?"
Jing Changji sighed when he heard the sound, and then slowly opened his mouth: "My surname is Xu, and I came from outside Beijing to look for my younger sister who ran away from home. She said a few months ago that she would come to Beijing to play, and at first she was still thinking about it." There was a correspondence, but this letter was cut off three months ago. My younger sister is so beautiful, and she only brought a maidservant to go to Beijing alone in disguise as a man. I was afraid that something bad happened to her, so I hurried to Beijing. But on the way, more than a month ago, I received another letter, saying that I had found someone I admired, willing to be my concubine, but I never mentioned my husband's family name. Although my Xu family is a merchant's family, it is also rich in assets , how can a girl who is born in the same family be a concubine? I am here to find her. Even if I really decide to marry as a wife, I have to see if it is a good family. I will also subsidize an extra dowry so that she can stay in her husband's house. Some dependence."
Xiao Er's eyebrows twitched when he heard the first sentence, and the vigilance in his eyes became less and more sympathetic when he heard the second half of the sentence.
In the past two days, the death of the second young master of the Huo family has caused a lot of uproar, and as a frequent visitor of Yipinzhai, the second young master Huo knew each other.
Especially Huo Ershao, who is lustful, wants to be the focus of attention everywhere, and often talks about it loudly, especially which concubine he has taken.
Because of Huo Ershao's identity and background, many people are willing to support him, but in private they disdain him, and they don't want to let the female family members in the mansion have anything to do with him.
In addition, the last time Huo Ershao showed off was not too long ago. The jade pendant he took out at that time was indeed priceless. Afterwards, the shopkeeper said in private that any young lady was coaxed by this guy, and she was from other places. The rich merchant's family, who didn't know the depth of the water in the Huo Mansion, actually stepped into it.
Xiaoer was also there at the time, and had seen the jade pendant with his own eyes, there was indeed a word "Xu" on it, and now he looked at Jing Changji, master and servant, with pity in his eyes.
He didn't want to talk too much, after all, Second Young Master Huo had just died, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, but he felt pitiful for the tricked little lady.
As soon as Huo Er died, the concubine in his backyard might be betrayed.
That little lady is still young, and she is stunning after hearing what Huo Ershao said, if she enters that pickled place, she will ruin her whole life.
Now that my elder brother has been found, it is a hope. Although he has become a concubine, if he can be found and taken away from Beijing, maybe he can find a good marriage again.
Xiaoer's voice was very low: "This matter must not be said to you by this young master. Your sister should have been coaxed into being a concubine by the second son of Huo Xiangye's house. Huo Ershao was found dead yesterday morning, and it would take a lot of effort to take him away."
Jing Changji's voice changed: "Is this true? She is so confused!"
Xiaoer became more and more sympathetic: "I don't blame her, the young lady is young, so Huo Ershao... hey." But he didn't dare to say anything, and hurried downstairs to ask someone to prepare meals.
After Xiao Er left, Jing Changji sighed, and his voice was not suppressed: "Confused, why is she so confused? I'm afraid people can see her disguised as a man with her appearance, and she may be coaxed. I have been in Beijing for three months, this..." He did not lower his ambiguous words, because his tone was anxious and remorseful, which attracted the diners at the tables on the second floor to look at him frequently.
Although Jing Changji didn't reveal much in his words, he still had a few memory points. The pretty lady, who disguised herself as a man, came to Beijing for three months.
Xu Chunsheng said that Huo Er's ostentatious little lady gave him a jade pendant with the word "Xu" on it, with a beautiful face, but someone from Beijing was willing to warm his bed.
Based on Jing Changji's understanding of Huo Er's personality, the little lady was probably coaxed by him, or she was snatched back to Huo's residence by him.
Because he was from outside Beijing, even Xu Chunsheng, a follower, hadn't seen him make a fuss or something for so long, so no one came to look for him.
When such a little girl came to Beijing, she was either looking for someone or visiting relatives.
If it is the latter, there should be correspondence in advance, and people will definitely look for them before they arrive, but Huo Er doesn't mean that, and he was even grounded suddenly. related.
If she came all the way to find someone, if she is really as beautiful as Huo Er said, I am afraid that she will not bother her to disguise herself as a man, maybe someone will remember this little lady.
Jing Changji mentioned it several times intentionally or unintentionally by taking advantage of the skill of serving the dishes, but he was only trying to give up hope.
Unexpectedly, after all the dishes were served, a young man with the appearance of a scholar stepped forward to the table in the corner. He was hesitant at first, but when he saw the delicious dishes on the table, he smacked his tongue at the rich man: "This... is Mr. Xu?"
Jing Changji raised his eyes: "Who is this young master?" Waiting for the scholar to look at the table, he invited him to take a seat, and even poured him a glass of fine wine, "It is fate to meet you, I respect you, young master."
The scholar finally had a smile on his face, he was usually poor and had no money to come to Yipinzhai, this time it was his classmate who gave him a favor.
But the two of them only had two or three dishes. He had good ears, so naturally he had just heard the muttering in his ears. After thinking about it for a while, he found that he still remembered the little lady who could see a woman disguised as a man at a glance.
After drinking a glass of wine, the scholar let go a lot: "I heard that the young master just asked Xiaoer about something, but he was asking about a little lady surnamed Xu who came to Beijing three months ago to look for someone? About fifteen or sixteen years old, With a maid who is also dressed as a man, it seems that the maid is called... Qing Miao?"
Jing Changji was overjoyed: "Yes, it's called Qingmiao, the young master has seen her sister?"
The scholar glanced at the jug again, and Jing Changji immediately added another glass for him, before he drank it in another gulp and said, "Speaking of which, Xiaosheng did meet Lingmei once, outside Hongming Academy, oh yes Yes, Xiaosheng is a student of Hongming Academy."
Jing Changji complimented him, but it was unexpected. Hongming Academy is the largest academy in Bianjing, and those who can enter are all from aristocratic families, and they are very likely to pass the exam next year.
After Jing Changji finished his compliment, he brought the topic back: "I don't know what my sister said at that time? How did she get there so well?"
The scholar did not doubt: "I just left the academy at that time, she and the servant girl came up to me and asked me, saying that I came to Beijing to find someone, but after thinking about it, I didn't hear that there was such a person in the academy, so I told her, Miss Xu also just left."
Jing Changji continued to ask: "Is she looking for someone? Who is she looking for? Maybe that person has seen Shemei before."
The scholar thought about it carefully: "It's a man named Shi Yiping, but I have been in the academy for a long time, and I really haven't heard of a scholar named Shi Yiping, and I haven't even heard of a scholar named Shi Yiping, so that's it. back to her."
Jing Changji wrote down the name, and the scholar got up when he heard that his classmate had changed, Jing Changji immediately called Xiaoer to add some dishes for them, after some refusal, Jing Changji lowered his eyes and invited the two attendants to serve Meal, leave after eating.
Jing Changji thought for a while, and there was no one named Shi Yiping in his memory, so he probably wasn't someone he knew well.
The two attendants didn't want to take their seats at first, after all there is a difference between master and servant, but Jing Changji simply left two dishes and served them to another vacant table, so they were willing to use them.
Jing Changji had no appetite, he couldn't eat until things were clear, but he managed to eat some, and when he was about to leave, he had already put down his money and stood up, and the three of them walked to the stairs, but they just lifted their feet to go downstairs, just in time to go up The two young sons of the building.
The two of them looked very good, especially the young master who went upstairs first and was dressed in a moon white brocade robe. His brows and eyes were cold, his appearance was handsome, his temperament was dignified, and the corners of his mouth were naturally raised, but he still gave people a sense of alienation that was thousands of miles away from others.
The man noticed that the scrutinizing gaze raised his eyes, and his dark and gloomy eyes looked over, and it was indeed a familiar face of Jing Changji.
When Jing Changji went to Yipinzhai, his subordinates presented the news to Wei Yin.
The servant didn't dare to raise his eyes, he just took the secret report on the low table and read it out one by one.
There are two copies of the secret report, one is Jing Changji's whereabouts in the past few hours when he left the mansion, everything is detailed, including the theater in front of him when he left the mansion, how to find out the person who drugged him that night in a few words, and how to find Xu Chunsheng Questions and answers; the other one is the person who prescribes the drug just found out by the dark guard one step later: Gong Yuwei, the second son of Gong Jijiu, the son of the Imperial Academy.

He just waited for the servant to finish reading and bowed his head and stepped aside: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please be punished by the lord."
Wei Yin was still lying on his side on the couch, his eyes were closed from the beginning to the end, as if he was taking a nap.
