Datang traitor
Chapter 81: Caused by a Cat
When Qin Yuan ordered people to move the ladder and climb over the wall to find it, there was no trace of the black and white flowers.
Qin Yuan ordered his servants to prepare freshly cooked small river fish and put them under the porch.The next day when it was just dawn, Qin Yuan woke up and saw that the river fish had not been touched, so he asked the servant if he had seen the cat, and learned that the black and white flowers had not returned all night.It is normal for cats to go out for a day or two, or even come home in three or five days.
"You ruthless little guy, don't come back if you have the guts."
Before dusk, when Qin Yuan came back from Dali Temple, the small river fish under the porch was still intact.Qin Yuan thought that the black and white flower hadn't come back, but when he entered the bedroom, he found that the black and white flower was coiled into a fuzzy ball on his couch, sleeping.After Qin Yuan touched the black and white flower, the black and white flower opened its big green eyes, looked up at Qin Yuan, snored in a low voice, turned over in a short while, with its four claws facing upwards, trying to stretch its body, The belly is exposed.Qin Yuan touched Heihuahua's belly, it was round and seemed to be full.
Qin Yuan scratched Black and White Flower's chin with his fingers, and asked it: "Where did you steal it?"
Black and white flowers squinted and squinted comfortably, letting Qin Yuan scratch his chin for him, but naturally kept silent, ignored and couldn't understand Qin Yuan's words.
In the middle of the night, Qin Yuan found that Black and White Flowers had run out again, still going through the previous dog hole.
When the servants in the mansion saw the black-and-white cat come back, it was noon on the second day, and it was still sleeping on Qin Yuan's couch.
The same goes for the third and fourth days.
Every night, Black and White Flower would get out of the dog hole, and the next day she would come back to sleep with a full stomach.
Qin Yuan was curious about what Black and White Flower did every night.
On this day, Qin Yuan invited Fang Ding to come to the mansion for dinner and wine. When he mentioned this matter casually, Fang Ding immediately expressed his willingness to help.
"If it still goes out tonight, I will follow it and see what it is doing."
It was night, Qin Yuan was reading in the house.Accompanied by Fang Ding, he ate peanuts and drank cherry wine by himself.Qin Shaoqing's self-brewed cherry wine was so delicious that he couldn't bear it.
Not long after, the black and white flower sleeping on the couch got up, jumped off the couch, and jumped onto the window sill again.
Qin Yuan immediately put down the book and motioned for Fang Ding.Fang Ding also noticed it, nodded his head, then stood up quietly, and followed out after the black and white flowers jumped out of the window.
Fang Ding's figure flickered, and disappeared from Qin Yuan's eyes without a sound, like two cats jumped out of the window together.
Qin Yuan followed out, and the figures of a man and a cat moved towards the dog's hole.Qin Yuan turned back and waited for news in the house.
About an hour later, Qin Yuan dozed off and nodded, Fang Ding came back.
"Where did you go?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Sneaked around, and finally went to General Qin's mansion, and got into a room in the backyard. I was afraid of being exposed, so I couldn't continue to investigate, so I turned back." Fang Ding and Qin Yuan reported back.
"General Qin's mansion?" Qin Yuan understood, "The black and white flowers were brought back by Qin Qiong's subordinates. They lived in the general's mansion for two days before, so I probably remembered it and went back to visit occasionally. I didn't expect the Qin mansion to take good care of it." Very thoughtful, and even prepared food for Black and White Flower."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but think of Qin Qiong's previous arguing about getting married. Qin Qiong used the blood from Black and White Hua's mouth to get married.Later, I found out that it was mouse blood, and I felt sick for a while, so I was afraid and hated black-and-white cats for a while.
"For such a trivial matter, I would trouble you to make a trip. I feel really sorry." After thanking Fang Ding, Qin Yuan insisted on giving Fang Ding two jars of cherry wine.
Fang Ding originally thought it was just a trivial matter, he owed Qin Yuan too much, and he couldn't finish it.But since Qin Yuan gave him cherry wine, Fang Ding couldn't help it anymore, so he smiled and thanked him for accepting it.
The next day, Qin Yuan disguised himself as a walnut farmer, climbed out from the mansion wall, and arrived at the place where the servants had already prepared the carriage, and drove a cart full of walnuts to Hengjie.
There were already young women waiting on the side street, and we got together in groups of three or three, and seemed to be familiar with each other, discussing with each other when and where it would be easier to meet Qin Shaoqing.
The woman in blue: "We are waiting here for nothing. I haven't seen him on this side street for a few days."
The woman in pink: "Could it be that you are on leave? Are you not going to Dali Temple?"
The woman in goose yellow clothes: "My elder brother is on duty at Dali Temple. He said that Qin Shaoqing went to Dali Temple on time every day, but I heard that he disguised himself every day so that people could not recognize his appearance. The first day he disguised himself as a bearded man riding a donkey Sweat profusely, and the next day you will turn into a bearded official in official uniform and riding a horse."
"Then I know, look at the bearded man with handsome eyebrows and eyes!" The woman in pink said in surprise, then stretched her neck and looked at Qin Yuan who was driving the carriage, "Look at him, he is a bearded man."
The other two women looked at Qin Yuan.Qin Yuan stroked his beard, and frantically waved the whip in his hand to ride the horse.
"It's him, look at his delicate features, fair skin, and those hands, clean and slender, and his shoes are official boots!" The woman in light yellow clothes shouted for confirmation.
When the girls around heard the wind, they all joined in the fun and looked this way. The clever ones immediately reacted and rushed in Qin Yuan's direction first.
Qin Yuan's carriage carried walnuts. It wasn't too fast, but it was definitely faster than people.However, some women came on horseback or by car, and it was not difficult to chase Qin Yuan.Seeing that it was about to be blocked, Qin Yuan took out the dagger from his waist, turned around and removed the baffle on the carriage, and walnuts rolled all over the ground in an instant.
The carriage suddenly became lighter, and under Qin Yuan's quick spur, the small carriage successfully ran into the imperial city.
After Qin Yuan arrived at Dali Temple on time, he was greatly relieved, and turned around to tell Zhangsun Wuji about his adventures this morning.
"These women are amazing, one by one is better at investigating cases, I suggest that Dali Temple can hire female officials." Qin Yuan concluded.
Changsun Wuji cast a blank glance at Qin Yuan speechlessly: "You can recruit as you say, but can you take court rules into consideration?"
At this time, the officials in charge of Dianmao came to report to Changsun Wuji. Today, there were 28 people in Dali Temple who were late, including Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia.
Changsun Wuji frowned: "Why are so many people late all of a sudden?"
Dianmao official said: "I heard that the sudden congestion on the side street was caused by the scattered walnuts all over the ground. Many people rushed to pick up walnuts. Cars and horses going to the four directions of east, west, north and south were crowded together, and it was easy to give way according to the grade. , cleared, it will be late."
"Nonsense!" Changsun Wuji turned his head and glared at Qin Yuan.
Official Dianmao didn't know that it was Qin Yuan who scolded Eldest Sun Wuji, so he hurriedly apologized and responded: "The lower official suggested that a decree should be made to prevent carriages carrying goods from going to the streets during the morning hours, so that such troubles can be avoided. "
"Don't restrict the people too much, walnuts are delicious." Qin Yuan took out two walnuts from his sleeves, and when he squeezed them, the walnut skins shattered.Qin Yuan asked Dian Maoguan to taste it, and it was delicious.
Dian Maoguan took the walnut in embarrassment, seeing that Changsun Wuji did not object, he put a walnut kernel in his mouth in fear.
The meat is thick but not astringent, full of flavor!
The Dianmao officer hurriedly responded and said that walnuts are delicious.
Qin Yuan sent him down, laughed at Changsun Wuji, and said that he would not do this again in the future.
"You still mean to say that if people find out about this, you will definitely be in trouble!" Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan to be cautious and keep a low profile, so as not to make any troubles in this extraordinary period.If Yuchi Jingde finds out, Qin Yuan will definitely not be let go.
"Okay, okay." Qin Yuan politely agreed.
After a while, Qin Qiong rushed to look for Changsun Wuji and Qin Yuan.
"Why do you look so flustered, what happened?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Someone broke into the General's Mansion last night." Qin Qiong said.
Qin Yuan and Changsun Wuji glanced at each other, and asked Qin Qiong to continue.
"The assassin who assassinated you last time, did you feel nothing when he broke into Dali Temple?" Qin Qiong asked Changsun Wuji, and after seeing Changsun Wuji nodding hesitantly, he said with serious eyes, "Last night, you broke into Dali Temple." The same is true of the person who entered our house. My general’s mansion is heavily guarded, especially after the Gu poison and the distant brother’s incident, the defense has been strengthened, and the inside and outside are airtight. But last night, someone broke in , No one in the whole house has noticed except one person."
"At least there is one person, who found out?" Qin Yuan asked.
"My wife and sister" Qin Qiong added to Qin Yuan in a low voice, "It's the one you've seen."
"Then can he see what that person looks like, and what is the purpose of going to your mansion?" Qin Yuan asked again.
"No, I just said that the figure passed by in a flash, and disappeared like a gust of wind. If she hadn't found footprints in the bushes next to the wall that had just turned over the soil afterwards, she almost thought it was her eyesight."
"Could it be another member of the Alien League?" Changsun Wuji felt that this was strange, and ordered Qin Yuan to go to the General's Mansion to find out immediately.If it is really the people from the Yirenmeng who made a comeback, it must be investigated clearly, and the imperial court is on the highest alert.
Qin Yuan agreed, and immediately took Fang Ding and others to General Qin's Mansion to investigate.
After Fang Ding swept across the courtyard and the footprints on the wall, he pulled Qin Yuan aside and whispered.
"What's the matter? Are you mysterious?" Qin Yuan asked Fang Ding puzzled.
Fang Ding pretended to touch his nose, covered his mouth with his hands, lowered his voice and said to Qin Yuan in embarrassment: "Actually, those are my footprints."
Only then did Qin Yuan suddenly remember that Fang Ding seemed to have visited the General's Mansion last night when he was chasing the black-and-white cat.
Qin Yuan looked at Fang Ding, and Fang Ding looked back at Qin Yuan.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, right? These footprints are the best evidence." Qin Qiong came over and expressed his doubts to Qin Yuan with a very serious expression, "I think the person who broke into my house is the same as the assassination of grandson. It must be the same person at this moment!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Yuan glared at Qin Qiong, "The soil in your yard has just been turned over, how do you know it wasn't left by the servant who turned the soil back then?"
Qin Qiong frowned and thought for a while, "It seems possible?"
"Of course it's possible." Qin Yuan said.
"No, I have witnesses to prove that someone did break into the mansion last night." Qin Yuan immediately sent a message, ordering his wife Zhang and his younger sister Zhang Yusu to testify for Qin Yuan.
After Zhang Yusu nodded slightly and came forward, he raised his eyes slightly after saluting according to the rules, first glanced at Qin Yuan, and then at Fang Ding.
Qin Qiong asked Zhang Yusu to talk about what he saw last night.
"I just saw a figure fall off the wall, and then left, very fast." Zhang Yusu continued, "I thought in a trance at night that I was wrong, and I saw these footprints behind the bushes early in the morning."
"Where did the visitor jump off, and where did he leave?" Qin Yuan asked.
Zhang Yusu hesitated, pointed to the wall closer to the bushes, and then pointed to the east.
"Probably in this direction, but it was dark and I couldn't see it very clearly."
At this moment, Fang Ding put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly.
Qin Yuan realized that he had something to say, and asked Zhang Yusu to wait a moment, then turned around and took Fang Ding to see if there were any clues on the wall.
Fang Ding leaned close to Qin Yuan's ear and whispered: "I didn't jump off this wall and leave from the east. Could it be me who Zhang Jiuniang said? Did someone break into the General's Mansion last night?"
Qin Yuan signaled Fang Ding to hold on, to figure it out first.
Qin Yuan turned around and walked over, and asked Zhang Yusu again, about when it happened last night.
Zhang Yusu lowered his eyes for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Probably ugly."
Fang Ding quickly winked at Qin Yuan, implying that he didn't come at this time.
Qin Yuan confirmed that the intruder mentioned by Zhang Yusu was Fang Ding, but when Zhang Yusu mentioned the specific time and direction of the intruder, he was a little hesitant, as if he was making up nonsense.That means that Zhang Yusu didn't witness Fang Ding's intrusion at all last night, but she was very sure that there was an intruder in the Qin residence.
"Sometimes people have nightmares, and when they get confused for a while, they can easily lose the distinction between dreams and reality." Qin Yuan said to Qin Qiong.
Hearing this, Zhang Yusu frowned slightly, and stared at Qin Yuan with rounded eyes, asking Qin Yuan what he meant by his words.
"I'm young and full of energy. How can I not be able to tell if I'm asleep? Qin Shaoqing's suspicion is unreasonable, but is there evidence? Could it be that Qin Shaoqing thinks he can't solve this case, so he wants to fool my brother-in-law casually?"
"Then are you sure there was an intruder last night?" Qin Yuan asked again.
Zhang Yusu simply said: "I'm sure."
"But you are lying. If the thief really jumped from this wall and left the east wall as you said, then the moss on the top of the wall should have been trampled on." Qin Yuan told Zhang Yusu, if you don't believe me, You can order someone to get a ladder and let her climb up to see for herself.
Zhang Yusu glanced back at Qin Yuan, nodded, and then, with the help of the maid, really climbed the ladder to see the wall.
Qin Yuan was quite surprised by her actions, and went to the side of Qin Qiong and his wife who were foolishly watching the fun, and asked them why they didn't stop them, so they wouldn't be afraid that the daughter would fall down from the climb.
"I dare not stop her temper." Qin Qiong turned to look at his wife Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly, "It's just climbing a ladder, I can do whatever it takes."
Qin Yuan remembered that Zhang's family is a family of military generals, and the family tradition has restrained his daughter.Qin Qiong once said that when Zhang Shi met for the first time, he had a fight first.Now Zhang Jiuniang is just climbing a ladder, of course it's nothing, he is worrying too much.Probably because Zhang Jiuniang gave her a quiet and gentle impression before, so Qin Yuan mistakenly thought that Zhang Jiuniang was just a quiet and weak woman.
Zhang Yusu lifted her skirt slightly, arched her slender body slightly, and deftly climbed up the ladder.She first checked the condition of the moss on the nearby wall, and put her hand on the wall lightly.
After Zhang Yusu got down from the ladder, he told Qin Yuan that the moss on the top of the wall did not show signs of being trampled on.
"Maybe I misremembered, but since the intruder has come, as Qin Shaoqing said, it will definitely leave traces." Zhang Yusu immediately asked the servants to check all the walls around the yard.
Finally, the servant found it on the top of the north wall.
Fang Ding leaned close to Qin Yuan again, and muttered in a low voice, "This time it's right."
Qin Yuan took a breath slowly and looked at Zhang Yusu. He was wearing a light green shirt, his brows were light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of stubbornness.Feeling Qin Yuan's sizing up at this moment, Zhang Yusu looked back at Qin Yuan, his expression still calm.
"What should I do?" Fang Ding asked Qin Yuan nervously.
Qin Yuan coughed, took the people out of the yard first, and asked Qin Qiong to speak.
Qin Qiong was very pleasantly surprised: "My good brother, you really are a genius at solving crimes. Could it be that you solved the case so quickly?"
"It was my people who came to your house last night." Qin Yuan apologized to Qin Qiong in embarrassment, "As for the reason, you probably wouldn't believe it."
"Say it!" Qin Qiong urged in bewilderment.
Qin Yuan called Fang Ding and explained what happened.
Sure enough, Qin Qiong couldn't believe it after hearing this, "You are actually chasing that ghost cat!"
"What a ghost cat! It's a black and white flower!" Qin Yuan reminded.
Qin Qiong looked disgusted, "This bastard is really against me, and has the face to come to my mansion. It's a pity that I didn't see it. If I saw it, I must have skinned it——"
"Say one more thing." Qin Yuan threatened.
Qin Qiong immediately fell silent, and then realized, "No, it was your people who broke into my mansion last night and caused great panic in our whole mansion. It is you who should be humble!"
Fang Ding saluted repeatedly and apologized to Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong immediately forgave with a smile, "I forgive you this time, but I didn't mean it on purpose, so I won't bother with you, but next time you don't want to break into the backyard of our Qin Mansion."
Fang Ding immediately agreed to guarantee.
Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yuan who had not yet admitted his mistake, "It's your turn."
"I'm curious, why did my cat come to your wife's sister's house, and you didn't ask why? Cats are spiritual, and they don't get close to people they don't know well. Especially black and white flowers, even the people in my house Be on guard." Qin Yuan changed the subject.
"That's right, why did it go to Jiuniang's house? I'll ask, you guys go to the main hall and wait first." Qin Qiong was really distracted by Qin Yuan's words.
Qin Yuan and Fang Ding waited in the main hall for about a stick of incense, and Qin Qiong turned back.
"Jiuniang really knows about your black-and-white cat. I asked the servant who served her. Every night, a black-and-white cat would come to Jiuniang, and Jiuniang would order the maid to get chicken livers and cook them for the cats to eat." Qin Qiong explained, "Then I asked Jiu Niang again, and Jiu Niang also admitted that she found Black and White Flowers behind my wife's house about half a month ago. At that time, Black and White Flowers were still afraid of him, and Jiu Niang Just hook it with delicious food to get close to me, and after a long time, people and cats will become familiar with each other."
It turned out that Black and White Flower ate every night at the General's Mansion until her belly grew round.
"Why chicken liver?" Qin Yuan was very entangled with this point, obviously there were fresh small river fish to eat in his mansion.Shouldn't cats love fish?Why did Black and White Flower go to Zhang Jiuniang's chicken liver?
"Cats love to eat, otherwise why feed them chicken livers." Qin Qiong said disapprovingly.
"Where's the fish? Why don't you feed the fish?" Qin Yuan asked.
Qin Qiong was stunned, "I don't know about that."
Qin Yuan urged Qin Qiong to ask Zhang Jiuniang's maid again.
Qin Qiong simply called Zhang Jiuniang's maid and asked Qin Yuan to ask herself.
The maid replied: "At first Jiuniang ordered the maid to order the kitchen to prepare fish, but after it was delivered, the cat smelled it but didn't eat it. Jiuniang said that the cat doesn't like fish, so let's cook some meat." Come on, I ate two bites of the meat, and the cat let Jiuniang touch it. But Jiuniang said that the meat was not good, and replaced it with chicken liver. The cat really liked it and ate it with big mouthfuls. I came to look for Jiuniang, and then I came every day."
After listening to the whole process quietly, Qin Yuan nodded and sent the maid back.
Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong again, and usually felt that there was something different about her wife and sister.
"Usually quite obedient, everyone in the family likes her. Your sister-in-law likes to chat with her the most, saying that she is Xie Yuhua, no matter what you tell her, it will make people feel comfortable. The old lady of the Zhang family also loves her the most. I really love her so much that I am willing to give her everything. There is only one shortcoming, which is that she has been refusing to get married. The family members force her to tell her, so she will become a Taoist nun and pray for the old lady. The family members dare not be too deep Let’s talk about this matter, let’s go with her wish for the time being, and plan to take it easy, persuade her slowly, and it’s okay to really keep her at home if it doesn’t help.”
Qin Qiong laments that Zhang Jiuniang does not like to get married, which is really similar to Qin Yuan.It's a pity that he deliberately matched the two, but neither of them had any intentions.
"It's natural, they don't have any intentions, how can they have intentions." Qin Yuan told Qin Qiong not to think about those messy things. Recently, he was almost driven crazy by the forced marriage.
"But I still think you two are quite a match." Qin Qiong insisted.
"Then did she say the reason why she didn't want to get married?" Qin Yuan reminded Qin Qiong that what he wanted was the real reason, not a prevarication reason, such as being a monk and praying for blessings.
"No, what are you suddenly curious about? You're not interested in her, why do you ask so many questions about her?" Qin Qiong asked back.
"When I was curious, if you don't tell me, there will be no cherry wine in the future."
Qin Qiong scratched her head and thought about it carefully, "It seems that I heard my wife mention it before. She has seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and feels that men like to change their minds, so she is unwilling to marry."
Everyone loves her, and so does the cat.A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can actually see through the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
Qin Yuan pondered that this piece of Yusu should not be an ordinary person, and knew something, but what it was was yet to be further confirmed.
After Qin Yuan left, Zhang called Qin Qiong to him and asked him why he interrogated his sister's maid.
"What else can it be for? Of course it is for investigation." Qin Qiong said.
"What does it have to do with my sister and the cat for the sake of investigation?"
"The cat belongs to someone else, so I just ask." Qin Qiong explained.
Mrs. Zhang: "Why don't you understand what I mean? Is your brother interested in my ninth sister?"
"No, he was just looking for a cat." Qin Qiong told Zhang Shi about the conversation.
Mrs. Zhang immediately patted the table and said, "That's it, otherwise why would he suddenly ask out of curiosity, what makes my younger sister different?"
"But he didn't say that." Qin Qiong corrected.
"What do you know, he's shy, and he's just started to get interested, so I'm not sure yet. Then let's add fuel to the flames, and things will be easy." Mrs. Zhang smiled happily.
The next day, Mrs. Zhang went out of the house by car to go to the birthday of the British princess.
Several wives got together and chatted about the most popular person at the moment——Qin Yuan.They discussed whose daughter was the most qualified to be Qin Yuan's favorite, and they all cited the daughters of families they usually knew well.Those with high status say they don’t have enough looks, those who have enough looks say they don’t have enough talent, and those who have both talent and looks say they have bad temperament.As for the lack of identity, appearance, talent and temperament, then you have to make a serious joke, joking that such a daughter should go to the corner to enjoy the shade.
"By the way, I heard that Jiuniang of the Zhang family is not engaged either. She is not young anymore, she looks average, and I heard that she has a dull temper. But the whole Zhang family almost spoils her, let her be pampered, He has no self-knowledge. He is afraid that no one will look down on him, so he plans to stay at home and become an old sister-in-law instead of marrying." said Liu Shi, the wife of the Ministry of Justice.
"How about my sister, what are you doing!" Mrs. Zhang was very angry, and rushed over to talk to them when she heard this.
"Yo, we forgot, the general's wife is here too, don't mention it soon." Mrs. Zhennanhou, who has a good relationship with the Liu family, said something immediately.Pretend to round the field.
"I don't know if my sister has high eyesight, but she is the one you all envy!"
Zhang Shitu talked fast for a while, but after she said it, she also realized that she was fast talking. Fortunately, she didn't say her name, so she hurriedly left the banquet with an excuse.But the British princess and others were unwilling to be angered by Zhang, so they quietly ordered people to pass on the word.
In the afternoon of that day, rumors spread all over the street that Qin Shaoqing had taken a fancy to Zhang Jiuniang.
Jealousy is ugly, and it doesn't take long for the word to change.
By noon on the second day, a small group of people had secretly spread the word that Qin Shaoqing and Zhang Jiuniang had already made a private decision for life, and that Zhang Jiuniang was pregnant with Qin Yuan's child.
On the third day, Qin Yuan, who had painstakingly performed a perfect disguise from head to toe, suddenly found that the streets this morning were extremely deserted and deserted.
Qin Yuan arrived at Dali Temple puzzled, and was called to him by Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji sighed to Qin Yuan with a smile: "Congratulations! It turns out that there are already people around you, so why didn't you tell me earlier, but I didn't say you. You made someone's belly bigger before you got married, which is a bit unkind. But it's a happy event after all. Presumably you sincerely apologize for your mistakes, and the Zhang family will not care about it, so they will happily give their daughter a title."
Qin Yuan was puzzled.
After asking about the situation, Qin Yuan shook his head and explained to Changsun Wuji that this was not the case.
Before he had time to elaborate, Qin Qiong came to the door and cried with Qin Yuan.
"Brother, what should I do, this time it's my elder brother who was wrong, and I've hurt you!" After saying that, Qin Qiong cupped his hands and apologized to Qin Yuan.
Changsun Wuji looked very puzzled, pointed at Qin Qiong and said: "Shouldn't you condemn him, how can you still apologize? Could it be that you deliberately tricked him to have an affair with Zhang Jia Jiu Niang?"
"What's all this about?" Qin Yuan was completely puzzled, "I've been working on unsolved cases for the past two days, and I haven't paid much attention to the outside world. What happened?"
Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan about the rumors he had heard.
"Why don't you know?" Qin Yuan was very surprised.
"This is passed on secretly by the female relatives. The reason why I know is because my wife told me. There are no female relatives in your house, so it's not surprising if you don't know about it." Changsun Wuji guessed.
"Of course it's strange! People all over the street know about it, but I don't know! I said why there are suddenly fewer people on the street this morning." Qin Yuan lamented that he was so blocked from news.
Changsun Wuji: "You are really not as good as them. The people waiting for you on the street are listening to six things and seeing all directions. They will try their best to make you see them. So once the news spreads Go out, they will know the fastest."
"It's so." Qin Yuan sighed.
Qin Qiong responded: "A lot of times, things on the street broke out before they spread to the mansion, and I only found out about it not long ago. What can we do now, the news is like this!"
"Of course it is to check and clarify!"
Qin Yuan immediately ordered people to find a way to catch the servant of the British government who passed the message, and after arresting him, he ordered apology and interrogation. After finding out the source and process of his message, all participants were interrogated and charged.Then post the announcement and list the entire communication process one by one, and the situation will naturally be clarified.
Because of Qin Yuan's clear thinking in handling the case, and his efficient way of apologizing and obtaining confessions, the matter was quickly found out.It was the result of the British princess and Mrs. Shangshu secretly ordering people to gossip.
Originally, this kind of gossip spread rumors, because it was difficult to obtain evidence, only the victim was attacked by the rumor, and the perpetrator did not need to bear any responsibility.This time, the British princess and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice also felt the same way, and they were both used to using this kind of invisible weapon to kill people.But never expected, this time it fell.Dali Temple actually took their servants without making a sound, and explained the whole process of spreading rumors very clearly, not a single word was wrong.
When these factual evidences were presented in front of them, the two wives who had been pretending to be foolish before were dumbfounded, and finally understood why everyone praised Qin Yuan as a genius in solving crimes.
Afterwards, the two wives had a miserable ending. They were convicted of lying and deceiving the public, and their fate was removed.The Minister of the Ministry of Public and Criminal Affairs of the United Kingdom was also demoted because of lax family management.
The fact that the matter was resolved satisfactorily was entirely due to Qin Yuan's swift handling of the case and his efforts to turn the tide.
Zhang Jiuniang's innocence was finally restored.
In order to thank Qin Yuan, Qin Qiong specially held a banquet in the mansion, and thanked Qin Yuan with his wife, Zhang Jiuniang and father-in-law.
Zhang Jiuniang sat between her mother and her elder sister Zhang Shi, stood up and saluted, and raised her glass to thank Qin Yuan.
"Rumors kill people, thank you for saving my reputation in time." After Zhang Jiuniang finished speaking, she quickly drank the wine in her glass.
Qin Yuan smiled lightly, expressing that he was fine.He wanted to raise his glass immediately, intending to drink it out of courtesy, and just throw it up later.
"If Qin Shaoqing doesn't like drinking, you don't have to force it. Our family's banquet is to thank Qin Shaoqing and to make his benefactor happy. Qin Shaoqing is free to do whatever he wants, don't be bound by it, and don't worry about etiquette. As Qin Shaoqing saw, Our Zhang family and the Qin family really don't have any etiquette in private." Zhang Jiuniang spoke suddenly and said this to Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was slightly stunned, and the wine glass brought to his mouth stopped because of this.
"That's right, that's right, what Jiuniang said is very true. If Qin Shaoqing doesn't want to drink, don't force yourself. Our family is very casual." Father Zhang hurriedly echoed, please don't be polite in the front yard. Don't be put off by them.
Qin Yuan really didn't like to eat these indigestible things when socializing, but it was the first time someone stopped him like this, seeing through his feelings, it made him feel very comfortable.
Qin Qiong was stunned, recalled carefully, and said with emotion: "It's true, when you were with me, you didn't seem to drink much."
Qin Qiong sighed that Zhang Jiuniang was really likable, and she could see through his good brother's preferences at a glance, but he had known Qin Yuan for so long, but he didn't notice it.
Qin Qiong then enthusiastically greeted Qin Yuan for dinner: "You can't drink wine, so let's eat vegetables."
Qin Yuan agreed and picked up the chopsticks.
Zhang Jiuniang glanced at Qin Yuan, her eyes downcast silently.But when Qin Yuan picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and wanted to eat it, Zhang Jiuniang suddenly knocked over the rice bowl on the table.
Immediately, everyone's attention was on Zhang Jiuniang, and Qin Yuan took advantage of the situation and threw the vegetables he had picked up into the bowl.
Zhang's father sighed that Zhang Jiuniang disturbed the guests' dinner.
Zhang Jiuniang apologized silently, saying that it was indeed your fault.
"It's okay." Qin Yuan hurriedly said, in fact, he didn't want to eat, and Zhang Jiuniang was really understanding when he threw the bowl.
Father Zhang enthusiastically introduced another dish to Qin Yuan, told Qin Yuan about the origin of this dish in detail, and invited Qin Yuan to taste it with a smile.
Qin Yuan smiled and agreed, just about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick it up.Zhang Jiuniang turned her head and touched the jug that the maid was about to pour.
"What's the matter with you tonight, girl, why are you always messy, it wasn't like this before." Zhang's mother glanced at the wine that had spilled on her body, so she had to temporarily retreat and go back to the room to change clothes.
Zhang Jiuniang apologized again.
Qin Yuan looked at Zhang Jiuniang thoughtfully.The first time can be said to be a coincidence, and there will be two or three times after that, so it must not be.
Sensing Qin Yuan's gaze, Zhang Jiuniang simply put down her chopsticks and suggested to Zhang's father, "Since Qin Shaoqing doesn't like drinking, what's the fun of eating food? Let's do something else."
"What?" Father Zhang asked.
"Is reciting poems right?" Zhang Jiuniang asked tentatively, then glanced at Qin Yuan, and immediately changed her mind, "Is reciting poems right? It's too elegant, and it's not suitable for those of us who come from martial arts."
"Then tell me something interesting about your own family?" Zhang Jiuniang asked again tentatively, and then changed her words again, "Well, there are only these few people in the family, and I've told you all the interesting things, so it's meaningless to talk about it again."
"Why don't we play throwing pots and compete?" After Zhang Jiuniang finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Yuan confirmingly, and said nothing more.
Zhang's father was still waiting, seeing that Zhang Jiuniang finally finished choosing the proposal, he felt that this girl had many ideas, and then asked Qin Yuan what he thought.
"Of course he likes throwing pots! He especially likes to play." Qin Qiong laughed, and told Father Zhang and the others in a mysterious way that Qin Yuan was the most 'powerful' at playing throwing pots, unmatched.
"Do you believe what you said? It depends on what Qin Shaoqing means?" Father Zhang asked with a smile.
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up a long time ago, and he immediately agreed happily: "Of course."
So the order went down, and all the decorations and music of the throwing pot were complete.
Thinking of Qin Yuan's prowess in solving cases, Zhang's father was very worried, worried that the family's martial arts background would not be able to defeat Qin Yuan.
Zhang's father asked Qin Yuan to vote first, wanting to see how good Qin Yuan is before deciding whether to call his son to the rescue.
Qin Yuan did his part, grabbed five arrows, and threw them happily.
Not surprisingly, one missed and almost knocked the pot over.
Qin Yuan ordered his servants to prepare freshly cooked small river fish and put them under the porch.The next day when it was just dawn, Qin Yuan woke up and saw that the river fish had not been touched, so he asked the servant if he had seen the cat, and learned that the black and white flowers had not returned all night.It is normal for cats to go out for a day or two, or even come home in three or five days.
"You ruthless little guy, don't come back if you have the guts."
Before dusk, when Qin Yuan came back from Dali Temple, the small river fish under the porch was still intact.Qin Yuan thought that the black and white flower hadn't come back, but when he entered the bedroom, he found that the black and white flower was coiled into a fuzzy ball on his couch, sleeping.After Qin Yuan touched the black and white flower, the black and white flower opened its big green eyes, looked up at Qin Yuan, snored in a low voice, turned over in a short while, with its four claws facing upwards, trying to stretch its body, The belly is exposed.Qin Yuan touched Heihuahua's belly, it was round and seemed to be full.
Qin Yuan scratched Black and White Flower's chin with his fingers, and asked it: "Where did you steal it?"
Black and white flowers squinted and squinted comfortably, letting Qin Yuan scratch his chin for him, but naturally kept silent, ignored and couldn't understand Qin Yuan's words.
In the middle of the night, Qin Yuan found that Black and White Flowers had run out again, still going through the previous dog hole.
When the servants in the mansion saw the black-and-white cat come back, it was noon on the second day, and it was still sleeping on Qin Yuan's couch.
The same goes for the third and fourth days.
Every night, Black and White Flower would get out of the dog hole, and the next day she would come back to sleep with a full stomach.
Qin Yuan was curious about what Black and White Flower did every night.
On this day, Qin Yuan invited Fang Ding to come to the mansion for dinner and wine. When he mentioned this matter casually, Fang Ding immediately expressed his willingness to help.
"If it still goes out tonight, I will follow it and see what it is doing."
It was night, Qin Yuan was reading in the house.Accompanied by Fang Ding, he ate peanuts and drank cherry wine by himself.Qin Shaoqing's self-brewed cherry wine was so delicious that he couldn't bear it.
Not long after, the black and white flower sleeping on the couch got up, jumped off the couch, and jumped onto the window sill again.
Qin Yuan immediately put down the book and motioned for Fang Ding.Fang Ding also noticed it, nodded his head, then stood up quietly, and followed out after the black and white flowers jumped out of the window.
Fang Ding's figure flickered, and disappeared from Qin Yuan's eyes without a sound, like two cats jumped out of the window together.
Qin Yuan followed out, and the figures of a man and a cat moved towards the dog's hole.Qin Yuan turned back and waited for news in the house.
About an hour later, Qin Yuan dozed off and nodded, Fang Ding came back.
"Where did you go?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Sneaked around, and finally went to General Qin's mansion, and got into a room in the backyard. I was afraid of being exposed, so I couldn't continue to investigate, so I turned back." Fang Ding and Qin Yuan reported back.
"General Qin's mansion?" Qin Yuan understood, "The black and white flowers were brought back by Qin Qiong's subordinates. They lived in the general's mansion for two days before, so I probably remembered it and went back to visit occasionally. I didn't expect the Qin mansion to take good care of it." Very thoughtful, and even prepared food for Black and White Flower."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but think of Qin Qiong's previous arguing about getting married. Qin Qiong used the blood from Black and White Hua's mouth to get married.Later, I found out that it was mouse blood, and I felt sick for a while, so I was afraid and hated black-and-white cats for a while.
"For such a trivial matter, I would trouble you to make a trip. I feel really sorry." After thanking Fang Ding, Qin Yuan insisted on giving Fang Ding two jars of cherry wine.
Fang Ding originally thought it was just a trivial matter, he owed Qin Yuan too much, and he couldn't finish it.But since Qin Yuan gave him cherry wine, Fang Ding couldn't help it anymore, so he smiled and thanked him for accepting it.
The next day, Qin Yuan disguised himself as a walnut farmer, climbed out from the mansion wall, and arrived at the place where the servants had already prepared the carriage, and drove a cart full of walnuts to Hengjie.
There were already young women waiting on the side street, and we got together in groups of three or three, and seemed to be familiar with each other, discussing with each other when and where it would be easier to meet Qin Shaoqing.
The woman in blue: "We are waiting here for nothing. I haven't seen him on this side street for a few days."
The woman in pink: "Could it be that you are on leave? Are you not going to Dali Temple?"
The woman in goose yellow clothes: "My elder brother is on duty at Dali Temple. He said that Qin Shaoqing went to Dali Temple on time every day, but I heard that he disguised himself every day so that people could not recognize his appearance. The first day he disguised himself as a bearded man riding a donkey Sweat profusely, and the next day you will turn into a bearded official in official uniform and riding a horse."
"Then I know, look at the bearded man with handsome eyebrows and eyes!" The woman in pink said in surprise, then stretched her neck and looked at Qin Yuan who was driving the carriage, "Look at him, he is a bearded man."
The other two women looked at Qin Yuan.Qin Yuan stroked his beard, and frantically waved the whip in his hand to ride the horse.
"It's him, look at his delicate features, fair skin, and those hands, clean and slender, and his shoes are official boots!" The woman in light yellow clothes shouted for confirmation.
When the girls around heard the wind, they all joined in the fun and looked this way. The clever ones immediately reacted and rushed in Qin Yuan's direction first.
Qin Yuan's carriage carried walnuts. It wasn't too fast, but it was definitely faster than people.However, some women came on horseback or by car, and it was not difficult to chase Qin Yuan.Seeing that it was about to be blocked, Qin Yuan took out the dagger from his waist, turned around and removed the baffle on the carriage, and walnuts rolled all over the ground in an instant.
The carriage suddenly became lighter, and under Qin Yuan's quick spur, the small carriage successfully ran into the imperial city.
After Qin Yuan arrived at Dali Temple on time, he was greatly relieved, and turned around to tell Zhangsun Wuji about his adventures this morning.
"These women are amazing, one by one is better at investigating cases, I suggest that Dali Temple can hire female officials." Qin Yuan concluded.
Changsun Wuji cast a blank glance at Qin Yuan speechlessly: "You can recruit as you say, but can you take court rules into consideration?"
At this time, the officials in charge of Dianmao came to report to Changsun Wuji. Today, there were 28 people in Dali Temple who were late, including Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia.
Changsun Wuji frowned: "Why are so many people late all of a sudden?"
Dianmao official said: "I heard that the sudden congestion on the side street was caused by the scattered walnuts all over the ground. Many people rushed to pick up walnuts. Cars and horses going to the four directions of east, west, north and south were crowded together, and it was easy to give way according to the grade. , cleared, it will be late."
"Nonsense!" Changsun Wuji turned his head and glared at Qin Yuan.
Official Dianmao didn't know that it was Qin Yuan who scolded Eldest Sun Wuji, so he hurriedly apologized and responded: "The lower official suggested that a decree should be made to prevent carriages carrying goods from going to the streets during the morning hours, so that such troubles can be avoided. "
"Don't restrict the people too much, walnuts are delicious." Qin Yuan took out two walnuts from his sleeves, and when he squeezed them, the walnut skins shattered.Qin Yuan asked Dian Maoguan to taste it, and it was delicious.
Dian Maoguan took the walnut in embarrassment, seeing that Changsun Wuji did not object, he put a walnut kernel in his mouth in fear.
The meat is thick but not astringent, full of flavor!
The Dianmao officer hurriedly responded and said that walnuts are delicious.
Qin Yuan sent him down, laughed at Changsun Wuji, and said that he would not do this again in the future.
"You still mean to say that if people find out about this, you will definitely be in trouble!" Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan to be cautious and keep a low profile, so as not to make any troubles in this extraordinary period.If Yuchi Jingde finds out, Qin Yuan will definitely not be let go.
"Okay, okay." Qin Yuan politely agreed.
After a while, Qin Qiong rushed to look for Changsun Wuji and Qin Yuan.
"Why do you look so flustered, what happened?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Someone broke into the General's Mansion last night." Qin Qiong said.
Qin Yuan and Changsun Wuji glanced at each other, and asked Qin Qiong to continue.
"The assassin who assassinated you last time, did you feel nothing when he broke into Dali Temple?" Qin Qiong asked Changsun Wuji, and after seeing Changsun Wuji nodding hesitantly, he said with serious eyes, "Last night, you broke into Dali Temple." The same is true of the person who entered our house. My general’s mansion is heavily guarded, especially after the Gu poison and the distant brother’s incident, the defense has been strengthened, and the inside and outside are airtight. But last night, someone broke in , No one in the whole house has noticed except one person."
"At least there is one person, who found out?" Qin Yuan asked.
"My wife and sister" Qin Qiong added to Qin Yuan in a low voice, "It's the one you've seen."
"Then can he see what that person looks like, and what is the purpose of going to your mansion?" Qin Yuan asked again.
"No, I just said that the figure passed by in a flash, and disappeared like a gust of wind. If she hadn't found footprints in the bushes next to the wall that had just turned over the soil afterwards, she almost thought it was her eyesight."
"Could it be another member of the Alien League?" Changsun Wuji felt that this was strange, and ordered Qin Yuan to go to the General's Mansion to find out immediately.If it is really the people from the Yirenmeng who made a comeback, it must be investigated clearly, and the imperial court is on the highest alert.
Qin Yuan agreed, and immediately took Fang Ding and others to General Qin's Mansion to investigate.
After Fang Ding swept across the courtyard and the footprints on the wall, he pulled Qin Yuan aside and whispered.
"What's the matter? Are you mysterious?" Qin Yuan asked Fang Ding puzzled.
Fang Ding pretended to touch his nose, covered his mouth with his hands, lowered his voice and said to Qin Yuan in embarrassment: "Actually, those are my footprints."
Only then did Qin Yuan suddenly remember that Fang Ding seemed to have visited the General's Mansion last night when he was chasing the black-and-white cat.
Qin Yuan looked at Fang Ding, and Fang Ding looked back at Qin Yuan.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, right? These footprints are the best evidence." Qin Qiong came over and expressed his doubts to Qin Yuan with a very serious expression, "I think the person who broke into my house is the same as the assassination of grandson. It must be the same person at this moment!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Yuan glared at Qin Qiong, "The soil in your yard has just been turned over, how do you know it wasn't left by the servant who turned the soil back then?"
Qin Qiong frowned and thought for a while, "It seems possible?"
"Of course it's possible." Qin Yuan said.
"No, I have witnesses to prove that someone did break into the mansion last night." Qin Yuan immediately sent a message, ordering his wife Zhang and his younger sister Zhang Yusu to testify for Qin Yuan.
After Zhang Yusu nodded slightly and came forward, he raised his eyes slightly after saluting according to the rules, first glanced at Qin Yuan, and then at Fang Ding.
Qin Qiong asked Zhang Yusu to talk about what he saw last night.
"I just saw a figure fall off the wall, and then left, very fast." Zhang Yusu continued, "I thought in a trance at night that I was wrong, and I saw these footprints behind the bushes early in the morning."
"Where did the visitor jump off, and where did he leave?" Qin Yuan asked.
Zhang Yusu hesitated, pointed to the wall closer to the bushes, and then pointed to the east.
"Probably in this direction, but it was dark and I couldn't see it very clearly."
At this moment, Fang Ding put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly.
Qin Yuan realized that he had something to say, and asked Zhang Yusu to wait a moment, then turned around and took Fang Ding to see if there were any clues on the wall.
Fang Ding leaned close to Qin Yuan's ear and whispered: "I didn't jump off this wall and leave from the east. Could it be me who Zhang Jiuniang said? Did someone break into the General's Mansion last night?"
Qin Yuan signaled Fang Ding to hold on, to figure it out first.
Qin Yuan turned around and walked over, and asked Zhang Yusu again, about when it happened last night.
Zhang Yusu lowered his eyes for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Probably ugly."
Fang Ding quickly winked at Qin Yuan, implying that he didn't come at this time.
Qin Yuan confirmed that the intruder mentioned by Zhang Yusu was Fang Ding, but when Zhang Yusu mentioned the specific time and direction of the intruder, he was a little hesitant, as if he was making up nonsense.That means that Zhang Yusu didn't witness Fang Ding's intrusion at all last night, but she was very sure that there was an intruder in the Qin residence.
"Sometimes people have nightmares, and when they get confused for a while, they can easily lose the distinction between dreams and reality." Qin Yuan said to Qin Qiong.
Hearing this, Zhang Yusu frowned slightly, and stared at Qin Yuan with rounded eyes, asking Qin Yuan what he meant by his words.
"I'm young and full of energy. How can I not be able to tell if I'm asleep? Qin Shaoqing's suspicion is unreasonable, but is there evidence? Could it be that Qin Shaoqing thinks he can't solve this case, so he wants to fool my brother-in-law casually?"
"Then are you sure there was an intruder last night?" Qin Yuan asked again.
Zhang Yusu simply said: "I'm sure."
"But you are lying. If the thief really jumped from this wall and left the east wall as you said, then the moss on the top of the wall should have been trampled on." Qin Yuan told Zhang Yusu, if you don't believe me, You can order someone to get a ladder and let her climb up to see for herself.
Zhang Yusu glanced back at Qin Yuan, nodded, and then, with the help of the maid, really climbed the ladder to see the wall.
Qin Yuan was quite surprised by her actions, and went to the side of Qin Qiong and his wife who were foolishly watching the fun, and asked them why they didn't stop them, so they wouldn't be afraid that the daughter would fall down from the climb.
"I dare not stop her temper." Qin Qiong turned to look at his wife Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly, "It's just climbing a ladder, I can do whatever it takes."
Qin Yuan remembered that Zhang's family is a family of military generals, and the family tradition has restrained his daughter.Qin Qiong once said that when Zhang Shi met for the first time, he had a fight first.Now Zhang Jiuniang is just climbing a ladder, of course it's nothing, he is worrying too much.Probably because Zhang Jiuniang gave her a quiet and gentle impression before, so Qin Yuan mistakenly thought that Zhang Jiuniang was just a quiet and weak woman.
Zhang Yusu lifted her skirt slightly, arched her slender body slightly, and deftly climbed up the ladder.She first checked the condition of the moss on the nearby wall, and put her hand on the wall lightly.
After Zhang Yusu got down from the ladder, he told Qin Yuan that the moss on the top of the wall did not show signs of being trampled on.
"Maybe I misremembered, but since the intruder has come, as Qin Shaoqing said, it will definitely leave traces." Zhang Yusu immediately asked the servants to check all the walls around the yard.
Finally, the servant found it on the top of the north wall.
Fang Ding leaned close to Qin Yuan again, and muttered in a low voice, "This time it's right."
Qin Yuan took a breath slowly and looked at Zhang Yusu. He was wearing a light green shirt, his brows were light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of stubbornness.Feeling Qin Yuan's sizing up at this moment, Zhang Yusu looked back at Qin Yuan, his expression still calm.
"What should I do?" Fang Ding asked Qin Yuan nervously.
Qin Yuan coughed, took the people out of the yard first, and asked Qin Qiong to speak.
Qin Qiong was very pleasantly surprised: "My good brother, you really are a genius at solving crimes. Could it be that you solved the case so quickly?"
"It was my people who came to your house last night." Qin Yuan apologized to Qin Qiong in embarrassment, "As for the reason, you probably wouldn't believe it."
"Say it!" Qin Qiong urged in bewilderment.
Qin Yuan called Fang Ding and explained what happened.
Sure enough, Qin Qiong couldn't believe it after hearing this, "You are actually chasing that ghost cat!"
"What a ghost cat! It's a black and white flower!" Qin Yuan reminded.
Qin Qiong looked disgusted, "This bastard is really against me, and has the face to come to my mansion. It's a pity that I didn't see it. If I saw it, I must have skinned it——"
"Say one more thing." Qin Yuan threatened.
Qin Qiong immediately fell silent, and then realized, "No, it was your people who broke into my mansion last night and caused great panic in our whole mansion. It is you who should be humble!"
Fang Ding saluted repeatedly and apologized to Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong immediately forgave with a smile, "I forgive you this time, but I didn't mean it on purpose, so I won't bother with you, but next time you don't want to break into the backyard of our Qin Mansion."
Fang Ding immediately agreed to guarantee.
Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yuan who had not yet admitted his mistake, "It's your turn."
"I'm curious, why did my cat come to your wife's sister's house, and you didn't ask why? Cats are spiritual, and they don't get close to people they don't know well. Especially black and white flowers, even the people in my house Be on guard." Qin Yuan changed the subject.
"That's right, why did it go to Jiuniang's house? I'll ask, you guys go to the main hall and wait first." Qin Qiong was really distracted by Qin Yuan's words.
Qin Yuan and Fang Ding waited in the main hall for about a stick of incense, and Qin Qiong turned back.
"Jiuniang really knows about your black-and-white cat. I asked the servant who served her. Every night, a black-and-white cat would come to Jiuniang, and Jiuniang would order the maid to get chicken livers and cook them for the cats to eat." Qin Qiong explained, "Then I asked Jiu Niang again, and Jiu Niang also admitted that she found Black and White Flowers behind my wife's house about half a month ago. At that time, Black and White Flowers were still afraid of him, and Jiu Niang Just hook it with delicious food to get close to me, and after a long time, people and cats will become familiar with each other."
It turned out that Black and White Flower ate every night at the General's Mansion until her belly grew round.
"Why chicken liver?" Qin Yuan was very entangled with this point, obviously there were fresh small river fish to eat in his mansion.Shouldn't cats love fish?Why did Black and White Flower go to Zhang Jiuniang's chicken liver?
"Cats love to eat, otherwise why feed them chicken livers." Qin Qiong said disapprovingly.
"Where's the fish? Why don't you feed the fish?" Qin Yuan asked.
Qin Qiong was stunned, "I don't know about that."
Qin Yuan urged Qin Qiong to ask Zhang Jiuniang's maid again.
Qin Qiong simply called Zhang Jiuniang's maid and asked Qin Yuan to ask herself.
The maid replied: "At first Jiuniang ordered the maid to order the kitchen to prepare fish, but after it was delivered, the cat smelled it but didn't eat it. Jiuniang said that the cat doesn't like fish, so let's cook some meat." Come on, I ate two bites of the meat, and the cat let Jiuniang touch it. But Jiuniang said that the meat was not good, and replaced it with chicken liver. The cat really liked it and ate it with big mouthfuls. I came to look for Jiuniang, and then I came every day."
After listening to the whole process quietly, Qin Yuan nodded and sent the maid back.
Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong again, and usually felt that there was something different about her wife and sister.
"Usually quite obedient, everyone in the family likes her. Your sister-in-law likes to chat with her the most, saying that she is Xie Yuhua, no matter what you tell her, it will make people feel comfortable. The old lady of the Zhang family also loves her the most. I really love her so much that I am willing to give her everything. There is only one shortcoming, which is that she has been refusing to get married. The family members force her to tell her, so she will become a Taoist nun and pray for the old lady. The family members dare not be too deep Let’s talk about this matter, let’s go with her wish for the time being, and plan to take it easy, persuade her slowly, and it’s okay to really keep her at home if it doesn’t help.”
Qin Qiong laments that Zhang Jiuniang does not like to get married, which is really similar to Qin Yuan.It's a pity that he deliberately matched the two, but neither of them had any intentions.
"It's natural, they don't have any intentions, how can they have intentions." Qin Yuan told Qin Qiong not to think about those messy things. Recently, he was almost driven crazy by the forced marriage.
"But I still think you two are quite a match." Qin Qiong insisted.
"Then did she say the reason why she didn't want to get married?" Qin Yuan reminded Qin Qiong that what he wanted was the real reason, not a prevarication reason, such as being a monk and praying for blessings.
"No, what are you suddenly curious about? You're not interested in her, why do you ask so many questions about her?" Qin Qiong asked back.
"When I was curious, if you don't tell me, there will be no cherry wine in the future."
Qin Qiong scratched her head and thought about it carefully, "It seems that I heard my wife mention it before. She has seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and feels that men like to change their minds, so she is unwilling to marry."
Everyone loves her, and so does the cat.A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can actually see through the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
Qin Yuan pondered that this piece of Yusu should not be an ordinary person, and knew something, but what it was was yet to be further confirmed.
After Qin Yuan left, Zhang called Qin Qiong to him and asked him why he interrogated his sister's maid.
"What else can it be for? Of course it is for investigation." Qin Qiong said.
"What does it have to do with my sister and the cat for the sake of investigation?"
"The cat belongs to someone else, so I just ask." Qin Qiong explained.
Mrs. Zhang: "Why don't you understand what I mean? Is your brother interested in my ninth sister?"
"No, he was just looking for a cat." Qin Qiong told Zhang Shi about the conversation.
Mrs. Zhang immediately patted the table and said, "That's it, otherwise why would he suddenly ask out of curiosity, what makes my younger sister different?"
"But he didn't say that." Qin Qiong corrected.
"What do you know, he's shy, and he's just started to get interested, so I'm not sure yet. Then let's add fuel to the flames, and things will be easy." Mrs. Zhang smiled happily.
The next day, Mrs. Zhang went out of the house by car to go to the birthday of the British princess.
Several wives got together and chatted about the most popular person at the moment——Qin Yuan.They discussed whose daughter was the most qualified to be Qin Yuan's favorite, and they all cited the daughters of families they usually knew well.Those with high status say they don’t have enough looks, those who have enough looks say they don’t have enough talent, and those who have both talent and looks say they have bad temperament.As for the lack of identity, appearance, talent and temperament, then you have to make a serious joke, joking that such a daughter should go to the corner to enjoy the shade.
"By the way, I heard that Jiuniang of the Zhang family is not engaged either. She is not young anymore, she looks average, and I heard that she has a dull temper. But the whole Zhang family almost spoils her, let her be pampered, He has no self-knowledge. He is afraid that no one will look down on him, so he plans to stay at home and become an old sister-in-law instead of marrying." said Liu Shi, the wife of the Ministry of Justice.
"How about my sister, what are you doing!" Mrs. Zhang was very angry, and rushed over to talk to them when she heard this.
"Yo, we forgot, the general's wife is here too, don't mention it soon." Mrs. Zhennanhou, who has a good relationship with the Liu family, said something immediately.Pretend to round the field.
"I don't know if my sister has high eyesight, but she is the one you all envy!"
Zhang Shitu talked fast for a while, but after she said it, she also realized that she was fast talking. Fortunately, she didn't say her name, so she hurriedly left the banquet with an excuse.But the British princess and others were unwilling to be angered by Zhang, so they quietly ordered people to pass on the word.
In the afternoon of that day, rumors spread all over the street that Qin Shaoqing had taken a fancy to Zhang Jiuniang.
Jealousy is ugly, and it doesn't take long for the word to change.
By noon on the second day, a small group of people had secretly spread the word that Qin Shaoqing and Zhang Jiuniang had already made a private decision for life, and that Zhang Jiuniang was pregnant with Qin Yuan's child.
On the third day, Qin Yuan, who had painstakingly performed a perfect disguise from head to toe, suddenly found that the streets this morning were extremely deserted and deserted.
Qin Yuan arrived at Dali Temple puzzled, and was called to him by Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji sighed to Qin Yuan with a smile: "Congratulations! It turns out that there are already people around you, so why didn't you tell me earlier, but I didn't say you. You made someone's belly bigger before you got married, which is a bit unkind. But it's a happy event after all. Presumably you sincerely apologize for your mistakes, and the Zhang family will not care about it, so they will happily give their daughter a title."
Qin Yuan was puzzled.
After asking about the situation, Qin Yuan shook his head and explained to Changsun Wuji that this was not the case.
Before he had time to elaborate, Qin Qiong came to the door and cried with Qin Yuan.
"Brother, what should I do, this time it's my elder brother who was wrong, and I've hurt you!" After saying that, Qin Qiong cupped his hands and apologized to Qin Yuan.
Changsun Wuji looked very puzzled, pointed at Qin Qiong and said: "Shouldn't you condemn him, how can you still apologize? Could it be that you deliberately tricked him to have an affair with Zhang Jia Jiu Niang?"
"What's all this about?" Qin Yuan was completely puzzled, "I've been working on unsolved cases for the past two days, and I haven't paid much attention to the outside world. What happened?"
Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan about the rumors he had heard.
"Why don't you know?" Qin Yuan was very surprised.
"This is passed on secretly by the female relatives. The reason why I know is because my wife told me. There are no female relatives in your house, so it's not surprising if you don't know about it." Changsun Wuji guessed.
"Of course it's strange! People all over the street know about it, but I don't know! I said why there are suddenly fewer people on the street this morning." Qin Yuan lamented that he was so blocked from news.
Changsun Wuji: "You are really not as good as them. The people waiting for you on the street are listening to six things and seeing all directions. They will try their best to make you see them. So once the news spreads Go out, they will know the fastest."
"It's so." Qin Yuan sighed.
Qin Qiong responded: "A lot of times, things on the street broke out before they spread to the mansion, and I only found out about it not long ago. What can we do now, the news is like this!"
"Of course it is to check and clarify!"
Qin Yuan immediately ordered people to find a way to catch the servant of the British government who passed the message, and after arresting him, he ordered apology and interrogation. After finding out the source and process of his message, all participants were interrogated and charged.Then post the announcement and list the entire communication process one by one, and the situation will naturally be clarified.
Because of Qin Yuan's clear thinking in handling the case, and his efficient way of apologizing and obtaining confessions, the matter was quickly found out.It was the result of the British princess and Mrs. Shangshu secretly ordering people to gossip.
Originally, this kind of gossip spread rumors, because it was difficult to obtain evidence, only the victim was attacked by the rumor, and the perpetrator did not need to bear any responsibility.This time, the British princess and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice also felt the same way, and they were both used to using this kind of invisible weapon to kill people.But never expected, this time it fell.Dali Temple actually took their servants without making a sound, and explained the whole process of spreading rumors very clearly, not a single word was wrong.
When these factual evidences were presented in front of them, the two wives who had been pretending to be foolish before were dumbfounded, and finally understood why everyone praised Qin Yuan as a genius in solving crimes.
Afterwards, the two wives had a miserable ending. They were convicted of lying and deceiving the public, and their fate was removed.The Minister of the Ministry of Public and Criminal Affairs of the United Kingdom was also demoted because of lax family management.
The fact that the matter was resolved satisfactorily was entirely due to Qin Yuan's swift handling of the case and his efforts to turn the tide.
Zhang Jiuniang's innocence was finally restored.
In order to thank Qin Yuan, Qin Qiong specially held a banquet in the mansion, and thanked Qin Yuan with his wife, Zhang Jiuniang and father-in-law.
Zhang Jiuniang sat between her mother and her elder sister Zhang Shi, stood up and saluted, and raised her glass to thank Qin Yuan.
"Rumors kill people, thank you for saving my reputation in time." After Zhang Jiuniang finished speaking, she quickly drank the wine in her glass.
Qin Yuan smiled lightly, expressing that he was fine.He wanted to raise his glass immediately, intending to drink it out of courtesy, and just throw it up later.
"If Qin Shaoqing doesn't like drinking, you don't have to force it. Our family's banquet is to thank Qin Shaoqing and to make his benefactor happy. Qin Shaoqing is free to do whatever he wants, don't be bound by it, and don't worry about etiquette. As Qin Shaoqing saw, Our Zhang family and the Qin family really don't have any etiquette in private." Zhang Jiuniang spoke suddenly and said this to Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was slightly stunned, and the wine glass brought to his mouth stopped because of this.
"That's right, that's right, what Jiuniang said is very true. If Qin Shaoqing doesn't want to drink, don't force yourself. Our family is very casual." Father Zhang hurriedly echoed, please don't be polite in the front yard. Don't be put off by them.
Qin Yuan really didn't like to eat these indigestible things when socializing, but it was the first time someone stopped him like this, seeing through his feelings, it made him feel very comfortable.
Qin Qiong was stunned, recalled carefully, and said with emotion: "It's true, when you were with me, you didn't seem to drink much."
Qin Qiong sighed that Zhang Jiuniang was really likable, and she could see through his good brother's preferences at a glance, but he had known Qin Yuan for so long, but he didn't notice it.
Qin Qiong then enthusiastically greeted Qin Yuan for dinner: "You can't drink wine, so let's eat vegetables."
Qin Yuan agreed and picked up the chopsticks.
Zhang Jiuniang glanced at Qin Yuan, her eyes downcast silently.But when Qin Yuan picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and wanted to eat it, Zhang Jiuniang suddenly knocked over the rice bowl on the table.
Immediately, everyone's attention was on Zhang Jiuniang, and Qin Yuan took advantage of the situation and threw the vegetables he had picked up into the bowl.
Zhang's father sighed that Zhang Jiuniang disturbed the guests' dinner.
Zhang Jiuniang apologized silently, saying that it was indeed your fault.
"It's okay." Qin Yuan hurriedly said, in fact, he didn't want to eat, and Zhang Jiuniang was really understanding when he threw the bowl.
Father Zhang enthusiastically introduced another dish to Qin Yuan, told Qin Yuan about the origin of this dish in detail, and invited Qin Yuan to taste it with a smile.
Qin Yuan smiled and agreed, just about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick it up.Zhang Jiuniang turned her head and touched the jug that the maid was about to pour.
"What's the matter with you tonight, girl, why are you always messy, it wasn't like this before." Zhang's mother glanced at the wine that had spilled on her body, so she had to temporarily retreat and go back to the room to change clothes.
Zhang Jiuniang apologized again.
Qin Yuan looked at Zhang Jiuniang thoughtfully.The first time can be said to be a coincidence, and there will be two or three times after that, so it must not be.
Sensing Qin Yuan's gaze, Zhang Jiuniang simply put down her chopsticks and suggested to Zhang's father, "Since Qin Shaoqing doesn't like drinking, what's the fun of eating food? Let's do something else."
"What?" Father Zhang asked.
"Is reciting poems right?" Zhang Jiuniang asked tentatively, then glanced at Qin Yuan, and immediately changed her mind, "Is reciting poems right? It's too elegant, and it's not suitable for those of us who come from martial arts."
"Then tell me something interesting about your own family?" Zhang Jiuniang asked again tentatively, and then changed her words again, "Well, there are only these few people in the family, and I've told you all the interesting things, so it's meaningless to talk about it again."
"Why don't we play throwing pots and compete?" After Zhang Jiuniang finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Yuan confirmingly, and said nothing more.
Zhang's father was still waiting, seeing that Zhang Jiuniang finally finished choosing the proposal, he felt that this girl had many ideas, and then asked Qin Yuan what he thought.
"Of course he likes throwing pots! He especially likes to play." Qin Qiong laughed, and told Father Zhang and the others in a mysterious way that Qin Yuan was the most 'powerful' at playing throwing pots, unmatched.
"Do you believe what you said? It depends on what Qin Shaoqing means?" Father Zhang asked with a smile.
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up a long time ago, and he immediately agreed happily: "Of course."
So the order went down, and all the decorations and music of the throwing pot were complete.
Thinking of Qin Yuan's prowess in solving cases, Zhang's father was very worried, worried that the family's martial arts background would not be able to defeat Qin Yuan.
Zhang's father asked Qin Yuan to vote first, wanting to see how good Qin Yuan is before deciding whether to call his son to the rescue.
Qin Yuan did his part, grabbed five arrows, and threw them happily.
Not surprisingly, one missed and almost knocked the pot over.
