In the end, Hong Qingrui and Qian He followed Chen Decai to Shilipu in uniform.

The Chen family is not separated, but the brothers each have their own yards.

As soon as Chen Decai brought his people into his yard, the eldest brother Chen Dewang and the second child Chen Defa hurried over.

"This is Detective Red, and this is Detective Qian."

Chen Dewang looked at Chen Defa with dissatisfaction.

"I don't know how the two policemen plan to investigate?"

Hong Qingrui took the tea, "We have to meet the old man."

"Heh," Chen Dewang who heard the words sneered, "Our sons can't get in that yard, and you probably can't even get in."

After all, he was still dissatisfied with the two young detectives.

Hong Qingrui took a sip of tea, and she didn't feel unhappy when she heard the words, even Qian He beside him was also very calm.

"We can't get in, but we can let the old staff out."

Within half a day, the Chen family panicked.

"Young Master, it bloomed yesterday!" (Flowering is smallpox)

"My God! I'm dying!"

The servants kept panicking, but none of the masters came out to comfort them.

Hong Qingrui and Qian He pretended to be guards and followed behind the three Chen Decai brothers, and hurried all the way to the closed courtyard gate of the old man.

Chen Decai shouted urgently: "Father! My son has something important to tell! I beg you to see your son!"

"Father! Open the door!" Chen Dewang also shouted at the top of his voice.

"Father! The third youngest's xiaoyao bloomed yesterday! He has entered your yard, come out quickly!"

Chen Defa's voice was full of tears.

Qian He rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "This second young master is really capable of doing something."

Chen Defa's words were the most useful, the courtyard door opened not long after, and a young servant stepped forward to salute, "Three young masters, please prepare the sedan chair and come to pick up the master to leave the mansion, the master said to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city."

Hong Qingrui looked at the young man in front of him, and moved his nose slightly. This young man smelled like medicine.

"It's ready, please come out quickly, master."

Chen Dewang said in a deep voice.

But the servant didn't move, and continued: "The master said that the sedan chair should be at the gate of the courtyard."

Chen Decai was taken aback, he looked at Hong Qingrui, who nodded slightly.

"Quick! Someone bring the sedan chair in through the back door!"

Not long after, the sedan chair was ready at the gate of the courtyard, and everyone looked at the gate, waiting for the old man to come out.

But everyone never expected that the old man was sitting in a wheelchair, not to mention being pushed out by the boy, and he was covered in a thick layer of black clothes. The old man was hanging his head, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, But the lips are very red.

"What are you doing standing here! Since it's blooming, you should throw it out!"

The old man had no expression on his face, but what he said shocked everyone present.

Chen Decai knelt in front of the old man, begging, "Father, that's my real son!"

The old man was indifferent when he heard the words, he turned his head towards the sedan chair, the servant behind him hurriedly pushed him to the front of the sedan chair, and finally helped the old man out into the sedan chair carefully.

"You guys don't come to Zhuangzi anymore, bad luck!"

Before the three brothers could speak, a reprimand came from inside the sedan chair.

Qian He scratched his face, "Mr. Chen's eyes?"

"Oh, my father went blind two years ago, and it's useless to find many doctors."

Chen Decai explained.

And Hong Qingrui looked at the yard, "I want to go into the yard and have a look."

The three brothers looked at each other and finally agreed.

The courtyard outside the old man is very large, but it is very desolate. The flowers and plants in this courtyard are as messy as if no one has taken care of them.

Chen Dewang looked at the yard and frowned, "How does this servant serve you!"

Since the veterans don't like too many people, there are only four or five people serving in the yard.

When Chen Dewang called the servants to question him, a thick woman trembled and said, "My master didn't let me clean it up. He said that these flowers and plants should be left to fend for themselves, just like him."

The three brothers' eyes were wet when they heard this.

Hong Qingrui stepped into the main room, Qian He looked around, "Brother Hong, this room is clean, the old man should always be in this room."

Not to mention the cleanliness of the room, there is still a faint fragrance.

Hong Qingrui looked around and found that the tables, chairs and screens in this room were all made of sandalwood.

"Mr. Chen loves sandalwood very much?"

Chen Dewang rubbed his chin, thought for a while and replied: "I have fallen in love with it since I was sick, and from time to time, I will let the boy pass the message and prepare sandalwood utensils for him."

Hongqing Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, and pursed her lips.

"Brother Hong! There's a lot of charcoal in this side room, and there are two big barrels of vinegar."

Qian He's voice came from the farthest part of the yard. When Hong Qingrui rushed over, he looked at the side of the side room, and found that it was Chu Gong's place.

After entering the side room, what catches the eye is the large wooden barrels about half a person's height on the left and right sides, which are filled with vinegar, and there are more than a dozen bags around them, which are filled with charcoal.

Hong Qingrui scooped up some vinegar from a ladle on the side and smelled it, and finally asked Qian He to find a small jar to put some in, "Did Chen Yuanwai order you to find these things?"

Chen Decai stepped forward and nodded, "Father likes to eat sour food. Later, when he was in poor health, he liked to smell it. He said he couldn't eat it, and he needed to smell it to feel comfortable. So this vinegar is changed every seven days, and these charcoals are used for heating. of."

"Heating?" Qian He looked at the sky, "It's spring now."

Chen Dewang smiled, "The money arrester doesn't know anything, this old man is afraid of the cold when he gets older."

Qian He stared at the bag in front of him, muttering: Why does our old man shout about being hot every day?

After Hong Qingrui and the others finished reading, they left the yard.

"We'll come back tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Hong Qingrui and the others returned to the yamen with the small jar of vinegar.

Gu Changwen and Sun Butou went out, and Hong Qingrui found Wang Yuzuo with jealousy.

"Uncle Wang, is there something wrong with this vinegar?"

Wang Wuzuo was idle and was sharpening his knife. Hearing this, he quickly put down the knife in his hand, took the jar and smelled it.

"This vinegar is tasteless."

Hong Qingrui told Wang Wuzuo all the things in the side room, and Wang Wuzuo closed his eyes after listening.

After a while, he asked.

"Are there lids on those two buckets of vinegar?"

"No."

"After seven days without a lid, the smell will dissipate quite a bit."

Wang Yuzuo nodded and asked again.

"Is there a charcoal basin in Mr. Chen's house?"

"nor."

"Now that it's getting hot, those charcoals don't seem to be useful."

Hong Qingrui continued: "The utensils in the main room are mostly made of sandalwood."

"The fragrance of sandalwood is immortal, but the most important point is that sandalwood has the power to ward off evil spirits."

As soon as Wang Yuzuo's words fell, Hong Qingrui suddenly remembered the smell of the boy.

Although the boy's body smelled rather strong of medicine, there was also a scent of sandalwood in it.

After Gu Changwen came back, he asked Hong Qingrui to find out about the Chen family's affairs, and then let him go down.

When Hong Qingrui left the Yamen, it was already dark.

I thought it was getting late, so I didn't want to bother Lan Doumi. I didn't want to pass by the shop, the lights were bright, and Lan Doumi stood at the door of the shop looking at him and smiling as before.

"Brother Rui came out really late today."

Lan Dou Mi smiled after serving the food on the table.

Hong Qingrui looked at the four hot dishes in front of him, and looked at Landoumi through the mist, "Have you eaten yet?"

Without flinching, Lan Doumi sat down on the opposite side of Hong Qingrui, and said with curved eyebrows: "No, Brother Rui, can you give me a bite of food?"

Hong Qingrui smiled, and made the opposite person who had bad intentions almost shed a nosebleed to show "love."

"What are you talking about, let's eat."

Although she knew that Hong Qingrui's words were meaningless, Lan Doumi still felt very happy.

After many years, the two had dinner at the same table again.

It didn't feel bad for either of them.

"I heard from Lao Zhao that you don't do business in the afternoon?"

Lan Doumi nodded, and said bluntly, "I'm not too young anymore, and the most important thing is to take good care of my body, and even if I don't do business in the afternoon, I can get by."

Brothers live more freely than women. They can test for fame and do business, but they are not as good as women in heirs. For this reason, many brothers will take a good rest before getting married in order to add a son and a half to their husband's family. female.

Hong Qingrui understood what the other party meant, and countless unmarried men flashed through her mind, but she felt that none of them could match Lan Dou Mi.

"You can't mess around with major events in life, you have to look at people carefully."

After holding back for a long time, Hong Qingrui choked out these few words.

Lan Doumi elongated his tone meaningfully, "Brother Rui, don't worry, if I have a candidate, I will definitely let Brother Rui check it out!"

Hearing this, Hong Qingrui felt that the burden on her shoulders was immediately heavy, "Success!"

After eating, Hong Qingrui thought about it, and called Lan Doumi to stop, "I'm going out for a few days, so don't wait for me."

Lan Doumi paused, his eyes full of surprise, "Where are you going?"

"Ten Mile Shop, handle a case."

Hong Qingrui said concisely.

Looking at the plate in his hand, Lan Doumi rolled his eyes, "Alright, be careful."

"Ah."

After Hong Qingrui left, Lan Doumi closed the shop, ran into the backyard and started packing.
