Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 76

Du He got up early in the morning to practice, had just taken a bath, put on a sky-blue silk long gown, and was leaning on the jade railing of the corridor, letting the morning breeze mess up his hair, with his sleeves in front of him and his ring around him for shadows, In other words, pretend to be cool, expecting an admiring look from a beautiful woman passing by.

The best would be Luo Qiyu, she has been mysterious recently and often sees no one, which made Du He quite nervous.

Servants are like masters, and Yan Ziqin's family is not rich in nympho. Seeing Du He's self-indulgence, they all responded with stupid expressions. Chen Nanny quietly walked to Du He's side and said, "Du Langjun, wake up."

"Huh?" Du He opened a pair of peach blossom eyes that were brewing mistyly, facing Chen Nanny's icy old face, "Ah! Chen Nanny, what's the matter?"

Nanny Chen conveyed Mingshu's intentions and asked him to go to the yamen to check on Yan Ziqin's condition. Du He readily agreed, turned around and was ready to go out.

Looking at his energetic back, Nanny Chen sighed.

"The young people nowadays are not bad in nature, but their minds are a bit strange, alas..."

After Du He took a few steps, he realized that it was only the beginning of the day, Yan Ziqin might not be able to go to the Yamen, and it would be useless to go, so he went back to his room first and ate some bee candy rice cakes bought outside the Old Song Gate yesterday.I have eaten all over Bianliang, if it comes to rice noodle snacks, this one is still good, it was distributed to Ming Shu and others yesterday, Yan Ziqin came back late, and I didn't have time to give it to him, knowing that he likes sweets, so I brought it to him along the way try it.

Even eating and taking, it was already daylight when I was about to go out, and I calculated the time to be just right, but I saw a familiar figure going out from the corner door.

Tsing Yi and white skirt, with a light gray scarf tied on her head, her figure is so slim, it's not Luo Qiyu but someone else.

Du He took the corner gate to take a shortcut, and went out directly out of the alley, but unexpectedly bumped into Luo Qiyu, she obviously didn't notice Du He's existence, looked outside the door, and stepped out of the threshold with the burden in her arms .

She has been sneaking around lately, what is she up to?Du He pinched his chin and pondered, deliberated, and whether he would go and see, she had no relatives in the capital, and her old friends were unreliable, if there were any unspeakable difficulties, he would be able to help if he saw it .

What's more, few people know about her being in Yan Ziqin's family. People in the market compare her to Xi Shi. Pan Wuhu style.

Seeing how she was covering her face with a handkerchief, she obviously didn't want to be recognized by outsiders.

Not far or near, he followed Luo Qiyu out of Ping'an Square. In terms of tracking, Du He was not an expert, and Luo Qiyu was extremely vigilant. He had to be careful every step of the way. In the small half of the city, Luo Qiyu didn't notice that behind her was Du He, who was frowning more and more tightly.

At first, Du He thought it was interesting, but then he walked more and more sideways, thinking to himself, where is Luo Qiyu going?Taipingfang was roughly in the middle of Sifang City. They walked southward, walked straight across the Zhou Bridge on Bianshui, and walked another mile to the boundary of Quyuan Street.

Speaking of Quyuan Street in the south of the city, everyone in Bianliang City knows it. In the early days of the country, it was named "Quyuan" because of the koji used to make wine here. Later, it gradually became the famous flower street and Liuxiang. The brothel here is not as stylish, but it is also a gentle town where you spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money.

"What is she doing here?" Du He stood at the corner of the street, looked at Luo Qiyu suspiciously, and saw her lingering in front of a courtyard with high red lights for a long time. Knocking on the door, he was invited in by a musician wrapped in a green turban.

Du He looked up at the plaque on the door, it turned out to be Qingyue Pavilion, needless to say, it must be a brothel.

Why is she still involved with this kind of place?Du He's brows were furrowed, and he just felt depressed, as if he had been beaten by someone, and wanted to beat him up again, feeling unspeakably aggrieved.Sitting behind the wall at the corner of the street, he took out the honey glutinous rice cakes that were intended for Yan Ziqin from the paper box, sulking, ate it cleanly, threw the paper box to the ground, and creaked his feet Step on a flat plate, vent your breath, and when you run out of strength, lean against the wall to breathe.

"Damn it, what an idiot I am!" He slapped himself, picked up the cardboard box that had become a piece of paper, rolled it into a ball, and went back along the way he came, his eyes straightened all the way, as if he had fallen asleep. He rushed forward like a chord, and almost ran into a steady stream of horses and horses several times, earning several "good cheers" such as "You don't want to die", "You don't have long eyes".

The car was able to dodge it, but the person didn't. He had just crossed the Bianshui River on the bridge, and when he reached a corner, Du Hezheng bumped into someone who was walking from the other side.

That person was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was as lovely as a moon, and the noon sun shone on her somewhat disheveled but black hair like ink and clouds, shining like golden light. It was a big bamboo basket with a layer of dried vegetables spread out to dry. Unexpectedly, it bumped into someone head-on, and the thing in its hand flew all over the sky. The bamboo basket was pinned on Du He's head impartially, and he stretched out his hand to hold it , but the girl fell to the ground on her back.

An elderly lady walked by around, knew this girl, helped her up, and asked repeatedly: "Ah Yue, are you okay?" Then she complained to Du He and said: "You helped stabilize the person, holding on to that bamboo weaving What's the use of dead things?"

Du He took off the bamboo basket from his head and saw that the edge seemed to be broken. He was even more embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, this... seems to be broken."

Ah Yue, who had just stood up, brushed off the dirt on her body, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's broken long ago, give it to me." Then, she took the basket, opened a wooden door next to it, and walked in.

It turned out that she lived here. When Du He looked up, he felt that this slightly dilapidated two-story building looked familiar. It should have left an indelible impression on him, but when did he see it?

The aunt beside her patted Du He and said, "Brother, don't poke around. There is a crazy woman in Ah Yue's family. You have been standing in front of her house for a long time. She will splash you with water and drive you away with fire." of!"

Splashing water?Du He suddenly remembered.

That's right, he's been here before, and the last time he stood under this wall for a while, a middle-aged woman took a pot of water from him and turned him into a drowned chicken!
Seeing that Ah Yue is so smart and lovely, how could there be such a crazy woman!Du He sighed, shook his head and walked away. After all this trouble, the haze that weighed on his heart was swept away a little bit, but it was past noon when he arrived at Dali Temple, so he wanted to come out earlier to avoid the summer heat. The sun is scorching, I didn't expect to delay until this hour.

Fortunately, I just made up a few pieces of bee candy glutinous rice cakes. Although I have traveled a long way, I am not hungry. I just wanted to ask the people in front of the yamen about Yan Ziqin, but I saw the gate opened from the inside, and a row of official sedan chairs came out.

"One, two, three, three tops?" Du He stood on the side of the road and counted, thinking that ordinary masters and judges would not need a sedan chair when traveling, so it must be the Minister of Dali Temple and the two young ministers who are in charge here. It's only useful, now that I see three sedan chairs, could it be that the three upper echelons of Dali Temple came out in full force?

What happened to cause so much trouble?

Regardless of Sanqi 21, follow up first, anyway, Mingshu asked him to find Yan Ziqin, so he was right to follow.

With the experience of following Luo Qiyu, Du He quietly followed the team from Dali Temple to a place with a majestic carved wall. The lush trees were shady, and the branches and leaves pressed over the wall. It was a place that Du He had never been to. Surrounded by the Forbidden Army in strong and sharp clothes, only three words on the plaque can be seen from a distance - Huitong Hall.

This is the building where foreign envoys are received. Du He nodded. His lively and inquisitive temper made him extremely eager to sneak in and find out. You can see the posture of the imperial army. Once the idlers approach, they will be trapped into a hornet's nest. , he still wants to live a few more years, and doesn't want to become a human target.

Anyway, he didn't want to go back to face Luo Qiyu, so he simply stood guard outside the Huitong hall, but found that except for Yan Ziqin and his group, no one came in or out.

"It seems that the matter is very confidential..." Du He thought about it.

It wasn't until it was dark that three official sedan chairs came out one by one, and one of them went directly to Taipingfang, obviously it belonged to Yan Ziqin.

Sure enough, as soon as he got off the sedan chair at the door of the house, Du He, who had followed him like a shadow all day, finally had the opportunity to jump three feet away to Yan Ziqin's side. He patted him on the back and shouted: "Where have you been today!"

Yan Ziqin was frightened and beaten, almost vomited blood, and coughed, "You...where did you come from!"

Du He pushed him into the door, and said: "It's not your wife, it's inconvenient here, let's talk about it when we go back!"

"What! You followed me to the Huitong Hall?" Yan Ziqin slapped the table and shouted after hearing Du He's story of the day.

Of course, Du He didn't tell about Luo Qiyu's going to Quyuan Street.

"Assembly hall, isn't that the place to receive envoys? Where are you going...to investigate the case?" Ming Shu, who was sitting on the side, looked sideways at Yan Ziqin who was sitting up in surprise, and whispered.

She waited at home for a whole day, thinking that something happened to Du He or Yan Ziqin, so she quickly sent someone out to look for it, but the people in Dali Temple said that Mr. Yan had gone out, and she didn't see anyone who looked like Du He to ask about it. When they came back, they sat on the sidelines and listened to Du He talk about what happened today.

Yan Ziqin calmed down, fearing that his reckless behavior just now would frighten the lady, he held her hand and said softly: "It's official business, as you know, official business is cumbersome, boring and doesn't matter, how can there be cases all day long?" ?”

Du He analyzed it very seriously: "No, there must be a case. Otherwise, how could one Zhengqing and two Shaoqings be dispatched at the same time? It's not just a case, it's a big one."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" Yan Ziqin flew over with a sharp eye, Du He felt cold all over and covered his mouth.

He didn't know that Yan Ziqin promised his father-in-law that he would never let Ming Shu get involved in the assassination of the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

In fact, without Du He's explanation, Ming Shu had already seen from Yan Ziqin's expression that he was lying.When he tells the truth, his expression is very relaxed, and he doesn't necessarily stare into the other person's eyes, but often concentrates on the things at hand, such as tea cups, paper pens, books and so on.Only when lying, in order to cover up, would he firmly look into the other person's eyes. If it was someone else, he would have been fooled by his firmness long ago, but he couldn't fool Mingshu who gets along day and night.

It seems that a big case happened in Huitong Hall, but he didn't want to let himself know, Mingshu thought so.

However, as long as we analyze and analyze, we can find that the only person in the Huitong Pavilion is Xiao Xi, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.She wasn't very interested in politics at first, but when she heard Yan Ziqin mention the envoy's name by chance last month, she thought the word "Xi" was strange, like a woman's name.At that time, Yan Ziqin explained: "The names and surnames of the Khitan people are all transliterated into Chinese, and the pronunciation is often wrong. Sometimes it seems a bit strange."

The cases that can involve Dali Temple are nothing more than homicide cases or attempted homicide cases. So, did Xiao Xi kill someone, or was he assassinated?

No matter how you think about it, the latter is more reasonable.

It was late at night when Yan Ziqin went to bed and fell asleep. In fact, he didn't have any business to deal with. He kept procrastinating the world because he didn't want to be alone with Mingshu. Once he asked about the association, he didn't want to lie to her, because he would feel guilty.

He got on the bed, moved a few times and lay down flat, but felt a heat in his waist, and it was Mingshu's hand that touched it.

she didn't sleep?As soon as Yan Ziqin frowned, he heard her whisper: "Did the envoy of the Liao Kingdom be assassinated?"

Suddenly his pupils dilated, and Yan Ziqin choked for breath.I knew that my wife was smart, but I didn't expect her to guess it so quickly, so I had to clear my throat and said: "You are pregnant now, don't worry about these things, it is not good for your health."

"I asked Xu An, and he said that my father visited you this morning." She paused, "Did your father ask you to do something for him?"

Yan Ziqin remained silent, and Ming Shu continued to probe, "He asked you to find a 'suitable' murderer?"

Hearing his silence, Mingshu knew that this was a default, and sighed, "It's very troublesome, I want to help you, but you're right, I'm pregnant now, so I really can't go there in person."

Only then did Yan Ziqin feel relieved, he held her hand instead, and said, "It's good that you know."

"But I can let someone else go instead of me." Ming Shu said.

"Who?" Yan Ziqin had an ominous premonition.

"Du He."

The premonition came true.
