minister on skirt

Chapter 35
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently failing to understand.

"Huang Ji said that Li Cheng Xiao approached Du Jian last night?" Changying pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered to look at Zixiang.

Zi Xiang came to a sudden: "Yes, there is such a thing! He also said that Cheng Xiao stayed with Du Jian for a long time."

Changying couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Cheng Xiao's gourd, but she vaguely felt that the conversation he had with Du Jian last night might have some meaning.

"Go and see where Du Jian is? Make an appointment with him and say that I'm looking for him in the back alley." She glanced at Zi Xiang.

After Zixiang went out, Zhou Liang asked again: "Then, what about the Fang family? Do you really want to go back to the guard to invite General Tan?"

"If Cheng Xiao wants to invite the magistrate, you can invite General Tan. If he doesn't invite you, you won't move."

There should not be too many doubts about Cheng Xiao being the murderer who killed Fang Tong, but now there is no evidence, and it is not easy to directly determine that he is the murderer.

He went to invite the magistrate, just to invite him to come and sit in the battle to prevent her from meddling.

And the magistrate has colluded with him for many years, if he comes, she will be tied up in many things, that's why she said to ask someone to invite Tan Shao.

When Tan Shao fights with the magistrate, it doesn't matter what the rank is. The people in the army are the commanders of the same school. Everyone knows that they are fighting each other.

But when Tan Shaoruo came, it was also not good for her to act, so as long as Cheng Xiao didn't invite the magistrate, she could still stand still.

Both Zhou Liang and Shao Qing nodded, but did not say anything more.

After a while, Zixiang came back: "I didn't see Du Jian, it is said that he went out of the government on business."

Changying had no choice but to let it go, she stood up after thinking about it: "First go to the warehouse where Fang Tong's accident happened, and then let's go to the street."

Du Jian took his guards and Cheng Xiao busy at Fang's house until evening before returning home.

Cheng Xiao was taken over by Shen Changying outside the warehouse, and his complexion was unwell all day long.

This is actually relatively rare. For him who has both sides, he has always been able to hide his emotions very well, but today he showed a little impetuousness.

Du Jian didn't miss a single word from Shen Changying's conversation with Cheng Xiao, nor did he miss the situation with Fang Tong's body.

At noon the sky was gloomy, and it rained for a long time.

After sending Cheng Xiao back to the house, he stood under the veranda and stared at the rain curtain for a long time.

"What do you think?"

Yang Chan came out from nowhere and patted his shoulder.Even the cheerful face of him is now covered with a layer of darkness, and even the gesture of patting the shoulder is not as neat as before.

Du Jian turned his head: "I wonder when the rain will end."

Yang Chan retracted his hands and turned around, sighed, and looked at the rain curtain while leaning on the railing like him: "I also feel that the house is oppressed recently. Where do you want to go after leaving here?"

Du Jian looked at him.

He smiled and said, "Could it be that you really intend to stay forever?"

Du Jian looked at the green flower seedlings watered by the rain, but didn't say a word.

After leaving Changxing, he naturally returned to the Huo family.

His life has been planned five or even ten years later, and he really has nothing and doesn't need him to worry about his future.

The only surprise was probably that he accepted Shen Linlang as his "wife" wishfully.

And the only surprise was that his wife, who had signed a marriage certificate with him, was probably still the notorious cousin girl from the Ling family in the capital!

Things in this world really make people don't know what to say...

"Okay!" Yang Chan withdrew his arms, sighed and said, "I know you are sad about Mr. Fang. But to put it bluntly, what does this matter have to do with us?
"Go to change clothes, the fourth child calls us to drink, make an appointment at 'Fuji', brothers will go there tonight to make trouble for him!"

He dragged Du Jian into the room.

Du Jian didn't object either.

Tong Qi would not be back until two days at the earliest, and he didn't know now whether he wanted the things Tong Qi brought back to prove that Shen Linlang was Shen Changying.

……

Fang Tong is an orderly officer after all, and Cheng Xiao, as the boss, has a lot of hands to take care of.

While they were busy, Changying also took Shaoqing Zixiang to the warehouse.

Unsurprisingly, there is nothing to gain. In fact, if a person's death is indeed murder, then the traces that can be found at the scene will inevitably be erased in advance, and even if they cannot be found, they will probably be dealt with destructively.

In short, it's unlikely that there will be evidence waiting to be discovered by someone who has no right to ask.

"Then what should we do next?" Zixiang asked her.

"Find the ledger." Changying said, "Help Du Jian find the ledger."

When there is no way to go, you can only choose the one that seems the most clear, even if the account book has nothing to do with her.

In the previous life, because she had no money to deal with Ling Yuan's revenge, she never set foot in the capital until she died.

She didn't know the details of the Ling family's defeat, and even her own death... But in this life, she wanted to go back, and she wanted to go back in a good way, not to show off with anyone, but to have the capital to do things conveniently.

Originally, she wanted to carefully plan the situation in Beijing after she was promoted, but with Cheng Xiao's matter in front of her eyes, she had no reason not to find out the truth.

From the deaths of the men in black and Fang Tong's easy killing, she had a hunch that Cheng Xiao's case was not an isolated case, and it must have had an impact on the subsequent court situation.

"Then how do I find it?" In the twilight, Zixiang blinked.

"I don't know either." Changying said.

After she finished speaking, she smiled at them again: "Didn't you say that you miss Wu Ma's braised hoofs? If you can't go back to Huzhou to find Wu Ma, you can always eat braised hooves.

"Call Huang Ji and the others up, let's go to Zuixianlou to have a meal, and then go to the most lively venue!"

The busiest place at night, apart from brothels and restaurants, is the gambling house.

Fu Ji Tavern has been open for 30 years, but the shop is still old and narrow.But because it is located in the lively street corner triangle area, opposite to the gambling houses and restaurants, the business has been brisk.

Of course, the shopkeeper's smiling face all year round has also brought in a lot of money for him. The wine he brings out is always two or three taels more than other taverns.

The small shop is full of smoke and smoke, and the halo of the oil lamp makes the old roof more mottled.There are three tables of guests, two tables are very noisy, and one table is relatively quiet, but this is enough to support the scene for the store.

Today's treat is the fourth child in the guard, and his wife just gave him a little girl.

There were more than a dozen people at a table, and the cheers almost broke the roof. The three people sitting in the corner glanced at this side frequently, and then got up to pay the bill.

Du Jian drank two glasses of wine and took another duck bladder with sauce. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at them as they passed by, and then stopped at the sign on the waist of one of them.

(I forgot to wish everyone a happy holiday yesterday, but everyone must have had a great time! Then the first volume will end with about 9 words, um, the plot of the opening volume is almost finished)
