Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 43

Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize went back to discuss.

The two of them were speechless all the way, Ran Feize didn't speak, and Su Xiaopei didn't know what to say.

In fact, no matter how you think about it, this is a great thing, but she quickly calmed down, and there is a big problem here.

Qin Butou said, give her a house to live in, send someone to take care of her daily life, and give her monthly money.But what about the strong man?He didn't mention Ran Fize.

That's the problem, she's with the strong man.

Su Xiaopei secretly glanced at Ran Feize, who showed no expression.Su Xiaopei couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Back at the inn, Su Xiaopei followed Ran Feize into the room silently, he sat down, but still didn't speak, Su Xiaopei couldn't help it: "Strong man, what do you think about this?"

"How does the girl look?"

Su Xiaopei pursed her lips, if she judged objectively and rationally, it would certainly be a good thing.

"It's really good to have a stable place to live, monthly money to pay, and the power of the government to find people." Su Xiaopei bit her lip. The more she thought about it, the more she felt awkward. .

"What the girl said is that according to the situation of the girl, this is indeed the best arrangement at the moment." It's better than following him around and living in no fixed place.

Su Xiaopei looked up at him, and he looked back and smiled at her.

"A strong man." Su Xiaopei's brain became hot, and he said impulsively: "Qin Butou said that there are two rooms, we can live in one room for each of us, five or two months of silver, in fact, it is enough for the two of us to spend..." She said in the Say what?Su Xiaopei stopped talking, the strong man had his plan, he made his home all over the world, and he wanted to find apprentices.

Su Xiaopei kept her mouth shut, although she didn't know much about Jianghu, but judging from Bai Yulang's adoration for Ran Feize and Qin Butou's politeness to him, he must be someone who won't be trapped in the yamen.It's not that Qin Tutou doesn't want to keep him, it must be because he knows he can't keep him.Su Xiaopei sighed secretly and lowered his head.

Su Xiaopei didn't see her words made Ran Feize curl his lips.Qin Butou offered such a good offer but failed to make her leave him, which really made him happy.She depended on him, and she was willing to be with him, which made him happy too.He blinked and said, "Girl is willing to share a room with me, thank you in advance."

He saw Su Xiaopei looking up at him with surprise in his eyes.This made him couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth again: "I still want to stay in Ning'an City for a while longer, if Mr. Qin doesn't help me pay for the inn room, I'll go join the girl again."

"The strong man still wants to go?" It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed.

"Of course I have to go." Ran Feize smiled at her, "But since I brought the girl, how could I just leave her alone like this?"

Su Xiaopei blinked, wanted to leave again, and said that she would not leave her alone...

"I must be able to arrange a good girl before I can rest assured."

He smiled, that smile was really handsome, Su Xiaopei looked at it, but felt that his nose was a bit blocked.

I see.Is this what Yuelao means?The person she meets will lead her to find Cheng Jiangyi.Ran Feize did not lead her to find someone directly, but led her to find the best and most powerful force for finding someone.What could be more convenient than staying in the public security system to find someone?
But, are we going to leave like this?
Su Xiaopei blinked, feeling very sad, the loss of losing money is far worse than the hesitation of being separated from Ran Feize.

Her expression fell into Ran Feize's eyes, he almost couldn't hold back to caress her head, moved his hand, controlled it, and called: "Girl."

Su Xiaopei looked up at him.

He continued to smile: "Girl, don't panic. Ning'an City is a good place, and the girl will definitely like it."

What else could Su Xiaopei say?She could only smile back and nod.

So it's settled.

Ran Feize has always kept his promise, and he started to arrange for Su Xiaopei.

First he took Su Xiaopei to see the house.The two small rooms are indeed not big enough to be called a yard, but there is a porch in front of the two side-by-side houses, which is barely enough for drying and activities.There is a small kitchen in the innermost part, with a pitifully small stove and room for two people to turn around.Ran Feize looked at it, then turned to look at Su Xiaopei, Su Xiaopei knew what he meant, shook his head embarrassedly and replied: "I don't know."

She is not very good at cooking in modern times, not to mention chopping wood and lighting a fire in this world.

Ran Feize nodded, and said to her: "It is always necessary to make some hot tea and prepare some hot water to cleanse." He knew that she liked cleanliness, and he only had to worry about washing and cleansing every night.

"Oh." Su Xiaopei nodded and gritted his teeth: "I can learn."

That expression made Ran Feize laugh.

Later, Ran Feize met the woman who was going to take care of Su Xiaopei.Said she was a mother-in-law, but she looked only in her 40s, and her husband's surname was Liu.Su Xiaopei followed Ran Feize and called her Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu lived next door, and the man in the family was also working in the yamen.Aunt Liu usually does housework and takes care of her grandson at home. She does some chores in her spare time, and often helps the yamen with cooking and washing clothes.She was happy to take over the job of taking care of Su Xiaopei. When she saw Su Xiaopei, she flattered her and asked Su Xiaopei what she needed on a daily basis.

Su Xiaopei thought for a long time, she didn't want to wash the clothes by others, although she didn't wash them very clean, she could rest assured.Especially when Aunt Liu said just now that she was helping the yamen servants to wash, she was very afraid that her clothes would be mixed with those of the men.And it is not known whether these ancients had the hygienic concept of washing clothes and socks separately.

"Aunt Liu, please cook me a meal." After thinking for a long time, I came up with this.

So simple?Aunt Liu smiled happily and agreed.

"What else?" Ran Feize squinted at her.

Su Xiaopei was at a loss, she could do the laundry and fold the quilts by herself, the most difficult thing was eating.Seeing her like this, Ran Feize knew that she had no idea, so he asked where the well was and where the latrine was, and Aunt Liu led them there.It twists and turns, exits the alley and turns to a back street. Several daughters-in-law are washing clothes by the well, and then go around to the other side to find the toilet.

Su Xiaopei had a sullen face, it really wasn't convenient.

A few people went back to the house again, and Ran Feize started to say that he would set up a water tank at the bottom of the porch, which is at the entrance of the kitchen, and ask Aunt Liu to help fill the tank with water every day.In addition, Su Xiaopei would release the night barrel every morning, so that Aunt Liu would also handle it when she was handling her own house, wash it and send it back.Also, the stove in the kitchen is too small and useless, he will destroy it, and set up a charcoal stove to boil water. Aunt Liu prepares three meals a day at home and sends them over, so there will be no fire here.

He talked a lot, buying charcoal and clothes, how to arrange meals, etc., were all trivial needs of life. Aunt Liu nodded and agreed.Su Xiaopei sighed inwardly, feeling more and more that he was a waste of life.Although she lived in a shabby hotel in the past, the living conditions were convenient. Later, she didn't have to do anything herself when she lived in the inn. The result was that she had been here for so long, not to mention life skills, and even the concept of life was relatively lacking.

Su Xiaopei secretly cheered herself up, it doesn't matter, she can learn, she is 27, not seven years old, she must be able to take care of herself.

The next day, Ran Feize talked to Qin Butou about the situation, and Qin Butou nodded in agreement, so he went to the clerk in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the yamen, received some materials and miscellaneous fees, and asked Bai Yulang and others to help Su Xiaopei. The little house has been remodeled.Several men knocked on the stove and rebuilt the charcoal stove.Burning charcoal is easier than burning wood, which is convenient for Su Xiaopei.

The walls were built higher, new beds were built, tables, chairs and cabinets were installed, a large water tank was set up, and buckets, bowls, bowls, bowls, bowls, storage racks, etc. were all available.Before and after running, Su Xiaopei cleaned and brought water and sweat towels. Seeing that the place where he settled down became tidy little by little, his heart was full of emotion.

Three days later, Su Xiaopei moved out of the inn and moved into a new home.She invited Ran Feize to live with her, but he refused.

"I know the girl's intentions are good, but if the girl wants to stay here for a long time, it's not good to cause gossip. If I leave, those gossips will definitely cause trouble for the girl. Single women, please be careful."

Su Xiaopei understood, nodded, and moved in with her little baggage.

Her bedroom is in the inner room, a small room with only one bed and one table. The outer room is a place for eating and writing.The small kitchen was converted into a washroom, and the toilet was also placed there.Su Xiaopei sat alone by the bed that night, panicked in her heart, suddenly seemed to have a real panic of wandering alone, she was going to be alone, she almost had no support.

She asked Ran Feize who paid his rent, and Ran Feize said: "Of course the yamen will pay. Lord Qin is afraid that I will kidnap you, so he is trying to curry favor with me."

In fact, Ran Feize hasn't decided whether to leave her alone. It is said that this arrangement is more reassuring than him sending her to a nunnery, but he just can't let go of it.Not only can't let go, he actually feels reluctant.Well, I don't know if it should be said as reluctance, anyway, Ran Feize is also a little confused about his thoughts.He thought that his heart was getting softer and softer. If he had settled her down in the past, he should have left.But he really doesn't want to leave now, really doesn't want to leave her alone.

Su Xiaopei's mood is also very complicated. If Ran Feize kidnaps her, maybe she will really go with him.

But he didn't, he didn't even tease her anymore.Su Xiaopei lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Both she and he understood that staying in Ning'an City was the best arrangement for her.

The best, but not the happiest.

Suddenly, it felt like there was something between him and her.

Su Xiaopei sighed.

It was late at night, and Su Xiaopei couldn't sleep well. The bed was new, and the quilts were all new, but she just didn't feel very comfortable.She listened to her own heartbeat and felt for the first time alone in the world—uneasy and alone.

Su Xiaopei moved into his new home and started working in the Yamen.Ran Feize accompanied her and got acquainted with people from various departments of the yamen.Bai Yulang often came to join in the fun, but Ran Feize caught him and told him: After he leaves, he must take good care of Su Xiaopei.

Bai Yulang was so nagging that he slapped his chest: "Uncle Ran, don't worry, I will treat Eldest Sister as my own sister."

Su Xiaopei didn't take it seriously, this brother was as reliable as that No. 2238 Yuelao, she had to rely on herself.Well, there are also strong men.

Strong men are indeed reliable.

Su Xiaopei's office is to sit in the same room with the masters, so she can't understand the official documents very well.She can only understand classical Chinese to a good degree, and some meanings can only be guessed, but of course this kind of serious business can't be guessed.Ran Feize drank with several masters to make friends, and after three or two visits, they actually communicated well. In the future, the masters and Xiao Pei will dictate the letter of the case, mainly the details, and explain clearly.They have to take more care of writing documents.Su Xiaopei's ugly handwriting is really shameful.

Su Xiaopei went to work for a while, discussing old cases with his masters, and went over the cases of Ma Zhengyuan and Sima Wanqing. After everyone got to know each other, communication gradually became smoother.

The master also helped Su Xiaopei write the official letter of tracing, and drew a portrait of a short-haired man according to Su Xiaopei's dictation. , should immediately know that it is him.After all, such a weird person with obvious features must attract as much attention as her.

Qin Dezheng kept his promise, sent people to copy many copies of the letter, and sent it to various places.

On the other hand, Luo Kui and Ma Zhengyuan were both sentenced to beheaded by Qiuhou Wen, and the execution date was set for one day.The official sentencing letter has been handed over to the superior, waiting for approval.

Su Xiaopei tried hard to adapt to the life of working in Gongmen to earn money and other news.Ran Feize never said when to leave. At first, he accompanied her to work every day, but later he stopped. He only came to visit her every day, and the days never set, but he came less and less every day.But he never went to her residence.Su Xiaopei knew his intention was to let her gradually get used to being alone, and also to avoid suspicion, so that she would not be offended.

The more considerate he is, the more she will know that he is a good man. How can she live up to his wishes?So she concealed the uneasiness in her heart and went to work energetically every day.In fact, there is no case happening to keep her busy, but she can be very busy.She looked through a large number of old case files, asked if she couldn't understand, and then reorganized the records by herself.She explored the state of criminal psychology from these old cases, which are different from modern times. Since she is paid, she should be prepared seriously and deal with it at any time.

That frizzy boy Bai Yulang slipped his tongue one day, saying that Uncle Ran asked how his eldest sister was doing, and he said that he watched her every day, and her eldest sister was doing quite well.

Su Xiaopei smiled, knowing that this brat could come in handy.

It's just that if Ran Feize feels at ease with her, won't the day of separation be closer?
Soon half a month passed, and when it was time to pay the monthly money, the accountant gave Su Xiaopei five taels of silver, saying that it was an adult's order, and although the month was not full, it should be paid according to the full month's money.Su Xiaopei was not polite, thanked her, and Mr. Yang accountant exchanged a tael of silver for her into broken silver and copper coins.This is what Ran Feize taught her. People in the bank are the most cunning people who look at people's faces. If they meet someone with a bad heart, Su Xiaopei doesn't understand anything and will cheat her when exchanging money, so he told her to go to the accountant of the government office to exchange money. Now, she does.

Received the silver.Su Xiaopei went home and put four taels of silver in the corner of the small table in the bedroom. There was a secret compartment that Ran Feize helped her set up for her.Then she went to the inn with broken silver and copper plates, bought a roast chicken and a jug of wine, and treated Ran Feize to a meal.

"Have you paid the monthly money?" Ran Feize opened the door and laughed when he saw the things in her hand.

Su Xiaopei also smiled: "One roast chicken, I'll treat Aze to eat."

Ran Feize laughed out loud, not being polite to her at all, and asked Xiao Er to bring some snacks to the room.

The two sat around the table, Ran Feize set out two wine glasses, each poured a glass of wine.He drank it down in one gulp, and Su Xiaopei couldn't help but said she couldn't drink at this time, so he took a sip carefully, the white wine choked her throat, burning it made her throat hot, she coughed for a long time, she was no longer a hero.

Ran Feize propped his chin to see her laughing, Su Xiaopei felt very embarrassed after coughing.

"How is the girl?" he asked suddenly.

Su Xiaopei replied, "Not bad."

Ran Feize laughed again, and Su Xiaopei felt that the meaning behind his smile was saying, I'm going to rest assured that you are doing well.

This thought made Su Xiaopei a little depressed, but Ran Feize didn't say that he was going to leave, but told her an interesting story about his adventure for a jar of wine, Su Xiaopei was amused by that.

The two of them drank and ate food, Su Xiaopei unconsciously took two sips of the spicy wine, and became excited, she couldn't help but also told Ran Feize a few things that happened to her in the yamen. She didn't know how to respond to her compliments, so she answered "Where is there", but if someone praised her next time, she would only answer "Where is there", and every time someone praised her, she would only answer "Where is there" , isn't that boring?

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head, why did she feel that her stinking tone seemed familiar?
Ran Feize laughed out loud.

"It's also good to answer where and where. If the girl disappears in the future, when the masters write the tracing letter, they can write where the girl likes to answer."

Su Xiaopei pursed her lips and glared at him, she thought it was funny, and then she asked seriously: "Reciprocity is important, should I also pick some masters to praise and flatter him? What can I praise him for?"

Ran Feize replied earnestly: "After he praises you, you can praise him for being very right, or praise him for knowing people."

Su Xiaopei wanted to laugh but also wanted to show him his face, strong man, you haven't made trouble for a long time, can't you hold it back?

"Miss, do you want to praise me?" Ran Feize raised his eyebrows, looking expectant.

Cough cough, Su Xiaopei cleared his cough, and said with a serious face: "In order to prevent the strong man from replying to me as 'extremely true', I will not boast."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and when they finished laughing, Su Xiaopei felt more sad in his heart.

They talked a lot of nonsense, but how could it be so funny?
Su Xiaopei really wanted to ask: "Strong man, can you not walk?"

But just like Ran Feize knew what was best for her, she also knew that it was difficult for others to do so.She could only smile at him, and he finally stroked her head.

Su Xiaopei didn't know when Ran Feize was going to leave, she didn't dare to ask, and he didn't say either.Su Xiaopei didn't know that during this day and night, someone knocked on the door of Ran Feize's room, reported a troublesome matter to him, and urged him to go to Wuzhen as soon as possible.

The next day, Su Xiaopei was looking through the case files in the yamen, frowning and reading hard, writing down a few questions he wanted to ask, when suddenly Bai Yulang came running: "Eldest sister, there is a case, the Lord calls you over."

Su Xiaopei was taken aback, and quickly got up to follow Bai Yulang.

The case is a small one.In a family surnamed Zeng, the daughter-in-law stole the jade pendant from her mother-in-law. Put it in my mother-in-law's jewelry box.The son wanted to make peace with the matter, but the mother didn't want to let it go anyway, and the daughter-in-law didn't want to reconcile, so she sued her.

This kind of housework is the last thing an official wants to deal with, and the whole family speaks with certainty. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law searched the house but couldn't find the pendant. So what if someone stole it?No outsiders came that whole day, only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at home.

Su Xiaopei came over to listen, and asked: "Then the lord wants me to distinguish the authenticity of what they said?"

"You are also a family of women, so please persuade those two women not to make any noise." What Fu Yin meant was that he wanted to settle the matter.Among the masters, only Su Xiaopei is a woman, who is easy to talk to women.The mother-in-law accused her daughter-in-law of stealing, but no evidence was found. How to prove it?The daughter-in-law said she didn't steal it, but the things were indeed missing, so how can she prove it?

Su Xiaopei nodded, looked around subconsciously, and then remembered that Ran Feize was not standing beside him.She pursed her lips, then nodded, and asked Fu Yin to arrange a room so that she could talk to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law alone.
