Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 69
Su Chen frowned and thought about it: "Maybe he was knocked onto the counter and found a knife there by accident?"

"The engraved seals on the counter are neatly arranged, as if there are signs of collision?" Ye Song asked.

"It's also possible that Liu still had a knife and forgot to put it away, and he was still carving something just a moment ago." Su Chen said.

Ye Song said: "I think there is a complete set of carving knives. To carve anything, you have to use both large and small knives. The possibility you said is very small. There is another possibility."

Su Chen frowned, and said for a long while: "You mean those knives were deliberately picked up afterward?"

"The cloth bag was a bit messy when I found it, and it might have been put away afterwards." Ye Song rubbed his chin, "But Fatty Wang is a butcher, how can he be so rational after killing someone?"

"It may be because of killing too many pigs."

Ye Song laughed twice, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so humorous."

"There may be a third person." Su Chen suddenly added, looking at Ye Song with deep eyes.

What is it that makes her observe so carefully and think so deeply?
"Yeah, maybe there is a third person on the sidelines, so who is this person?" Ye Song said, "Things always come and go so suddenly, it seems that they are related to each other, I hope we don't have to wait and see It was only after clearing that they found out that they are independent of each other, isn't this a vain expectation."

Su Chen was silent for a while before asking: "What are you expecting?" Ye Song didn't answer, he suddenly stopped, Ye Song turned around to look at him suspiciously, he said, "Are you expecting to help the emperor solve the case thoroughly? "

Ye Song was stunned, and smiled impeccably: "I was involved in this, I hope to solve the case thoroughly, what's wrong?"

Su Chen suddenly changed the subject again: "Where will you go after Li and I have found your next home? Know what you want and what you like?" This topic was still before the murder case that night. The one Su Chen mentioned.Unexpectedly, he never forgot.

Ye Song shrugged, opened the skylight and said bluntly, "Yeah, I know that what I want is freedom, and what I like is someone I will never get," she pointed at Su Chen pointlessly. , "It's even harder than getting you. You know how difficult it is. What I want and what I like are always contradictory. So I haven't found a next home yet. After reconciling with you, I have to go back to the general." house."

Su Chen suddenly said: "You have never tried to get this king, how do you know that it is difficult to get this king."

"What?" Ye Song didn't respond.

Su Chen changed his words calmly: "Since you haven't left home yet, why don't you stay in the palace for now. If you have a place to go in the future, this king will never stop you."

Ye Song smiled, "Are you trying to keep me, or are you trying to keep your own reputation?"

"you guess?"

"You don't want your Shu'er to be a princess anymore?"

Su Chen stepped forward and continued to walk forward: "She is not a woman who cares about fame and fortune."

Ye Song smiled and said: "You won't talk about things like 'as long as you are Princess Ning, you will still be my king's woman'?"

Su Chen: "That's an angry word."

Ye Song thought for a while, and said leisurely: "Actually, you're not too bad if we get along peacefully with you. It's just that I still remember clearly the things you beat me in the past."

Su Chen pursed his lips: "It won't happen in the future."

Ye Song continued to rest his hands on the back of his head, squinting his eyes and looking ahead: "I hold grudges very much. When I get along peacefully, I can put these grievances aside, but if you offend me, I will repay old and new grudges double. .”

"It's up to you. As long as you don't interfere with me and Shu'er, I won't interfere with you either."

Ye Song raised his chin and looked at him: "Including when I want to leave the house, is it okay?"

Su Chen immediately turned his face: "Let's discuss that matter again."

Ye Song sneered: "It's boring."

Su Chen immediately made a final decision: "Since you didn't reject me, I will take it as your consent."

"Who said I agreed?" Ye Song raised his eyebrows, "No peace, you let me live in Ning Wang's mansion, and I can't go out, and you are under the same roof as your Shu'er, I might as well go back to my general's mansion Woolen cloth."

"It's useless." Su Chen said nonchalantly, "After this king proposes this condition, if you don't agree, you can only refuse it immediately. Now you have no chance to refuse."

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen stamped his feet and looked at her: "It means that if you don't agree now, there is nothing you can do. The literal meaning of Heli is that the husband and wife must reach an agreement. At present, this king's wishes cannot be reached with yours. Wait until later If you have someone you like and want to remarry this king, then fulfill your promise."

It turned out that Su Chen, who seemed to have made a big concession, was actually advancing by retreating.

Ye Song laughed angrily and said: "That's what you said but you don't let me go out of the house, how can I meet someone I like! You are clearly cheating! If you have the guts, return the jade pendant to me, and I will look for it again!"

"The matter of Heli and Yupei are two different matters, we should discuss them separately."

"Then let's talk about the jade pendant!"

Su Chen didn't stop, and said shamelessly, "I'm not in the mood right now."

"You fucking..." Su Chen looked up at her, she kicked him on the leg unceremoniously, and cursed, "What a bastard!"

Ye Song was afraid of Su Chen's revenge, so he ran away after kicking him.Su Chen looked at her cursing back, and frowned coldly.It hurt a little bit from her kick.

In the end, a serious conversation about a murder case ended with a tangled topic of husband and wife.

At the end of the alley is a side street, which is relatively deserted compared to West Street.There are several high-end restaurants on the street, and the environment is very elegant.When Su Chen walked out of the alley, Ye Song was already waiting for him at the door of a restaurant, his face changed faster than the sky, and now he was calling him by his first name in a friendly manner: "Su Chen, I'm hungry, treat me to dinner."

Compared with Nanshu's softness, Ye Song has a clear and beautiful voice, and the name came out of her mouth, which was indescribably mellow.Su Chen took her into the restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor.

Ye Song picked out the most expensive dishes, and after ordering, Xiaoer went out, facing Su Chen's tense handsome face, Ye Song put his chin on his face with a smile and said: "You are afraid that I won't be able to finish the whole meal after ordering a table, right? I can’t finish eating and pack it. I figured it out, I think your proposal just now is very good, you are a Dali Temple minister and you have a good taste, if there is any case in the future, why don’t you take me with you?”

Holding a cup of hot tea, Su Chen said, "This can be considered."

Although she can't leave the mansion without Su Chen's permission, but she can find a way.If He Li went back to the General's Mansion, the original Ye Song would be kept in a boudoir and would not be able to go out for a walk. In comparison, Su Chen was easier to deal with than the General.As for whether he could find someone he likes again in the future, Ye Song lowered his eyes, even if he didn't, it wouldn't be too bad to spend his life eating and drinking in the palace with money to spend.

Ye Song actually ordered a table full of Chinese people.Su Chen felt full just by looking at it, of course he was full.As soon as Su Chen was depressed, she was very happy. She had a big appetite and started to eat with her belly open. From time to time, she sympathetically picked up a piece of meaty bone for Su Chen. It felt like...feeding a dog.

Maybe Su Chen himself felt this too, and said gloomyly: "This king doesn't need you to serve him with food."

Ye Song had an innocent face, his little mouth was smeared with sauce: "When I'm away from home, shouldn't I help Sister Nanshu take care of you?"

Su Chen sneered: "When Shu'er took care of this king, he would feed her mouth to mouth, come here if you have the ability."

Ye Song made a retching movement, snorted: "It's disgusting." Then he ate his own, without Gu Suchen anymore.

The second floor was facing the window, this meal was long enough, Ye Song was full, so he leaned against the window and drank strong tea to digest.Due to the high terrain outside the window, you can clearly see the layout of the streets below, connecting several quiet alleys.At the entrances of the alleys and at the corners of the streets, there are sparsely dressed beggars walking around.They looked very cold, huddled in the corner, with a few broken bowls at their bare feet, very pitiful.

Su Chen is a prince, and he has never had the habit of taking out food in restaurants, but Ye Song chose to take out food, so there was nothing left, and she didn't even move her chopsticks for many dishes.The owner of the restaurant knew that they were from a rich family when he saw how wealthy they were, and specially sent a waiter to help them carry the packed food when they left.

As a result, Ye Song went to the street and yelled at the beggars scattered around: "Little brothers of the beggar gang, come over for extra food!"

She asked Xiao Er to open the food box, and the food was fragrant. Immediately, many hungry beggars ran towards this side, there were a dozen or twenty of them.Ye Song told Xiao Er to go back and bring a pot of rice to fill the beggars.

The beggars gobbled it up and were grateful to Ye Song and Su Chen at the same time.Ye Song smiled and said: "You're welcome, everyone just eat. It's not easy for those who come out of this line of work. Do you beg in this place day and night?"

A beggar took time out of his busy schedule and said, "Why are you begging at night, and there is no one at night. We beg during the day, and it will be good if we can fill our stomachs. At night, we go to sleep in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city."

At this moment, Ye Song noticed that there was still a little beggar squatting at the entrance of the alley over there, looking this way from time to time, but he just didn't come over.Ye Song pointed at him and asked, "Why didn't that little guy come?"

All the beggars shook their heads: "I don't know. He doesn't stay with us during the day, and he doesn't stay with us at night. He is a beggar in Liujiaxiang, and he has only been here for a few days. But Liujiaxiang has died, so he is a bit unlucky." .”

Ye Song originally thought that there was no clue, but when he heard it, his eyes lit up instantly, and he exchanged a glance with Su Chen.Only then did Su Chen understand her intention of doing this.

Ye Song took three or four meat buns, got up and walked towards the little beggar.The little beggar was afraid and longing, his thin body shrank back and forth towards the corner.Ye Song squatted in front of him, looked at his dirty face with two shining eyes like black gemstones, handed the bun to him, and said, "If you don't mind, I'll eat it for you."
