There was a thin black tide in her heart, and she was always a little uneasy.
Finally, he said solemnly: "If you believe me, don't act rashly. I will definitely help you find out about this matter and give you an explanation."
Hearing this, Zhang Yilun's nervousness disappeared and he smiled brightly: "Sister Yu, you don't have to be so serious. I just asked casually. I'm worried that you don't know who your opponent is, so I just want to give you a heads up. I think it's good to be like this now. Anyway, I
I don’t like to go out much either.”
"I'm very open-minded. People can't be resurrected after death. Living people have to look forward."
Seeing that he was so sensible and still comforting himself here, Yu Qiansi felt a flash of distress in her heart and rubbed his furry head: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
Her hair was slightly yellow because she didn't see much sunlight. Over his lowered head, she took a deep look at the empty wall behind her.
"I only bothered you during the day because of an emergency. You can have a good rest. I'll wait for someone outside the door."
After saying that, he ignored Zhang Yilun's plea to stay, left Yizhuang, and sat at a stall not far away, quietly feeling the late afternoon heat gradually dissipate.
"Why are you sitting here?"
A pair of black official boots fell into her lowered eyes.
He gradually raised his head, and his slim-fitting black falcon costume made him look as sharp as a dangerous mountain.
The soft look on his face at the moment is just a disguise.
Boyi was holding an exquisite food box in one hand and a small bag of candy in the other. Seeing her eyes dark and unclear, he felt a little nervous.
Is she going to say something about keeping a distance again?
He quickly said: "I went to visit the princess. Although she has woken up now, she has not yet returned to her senses."
That is to say, nothing is gained.
Yu Qiansi smiled and looked at the thing in his hand.
"Oh, this is for you." He put the food box on the small table beside him, pushed it to Yu Qiansi, handed the stall owner a piece of broken silver, and bought two sets of bowls and chopsticks: "I see you are today
After a busy day, I’m worried that your stomach will attack again.”
When she mentioned this, she realized that her stomach was empty and felt a dull pain. She thanked her softly but did not move her chopsticks.
Boyi had no choice but to find something to say: "This bag of malt candies was bought for Zhang Yilun."
"He has eaten too many sweets recently and cannot give them any more."
Boyi said "Okay" and put the bag of candy on the table: "Then I'll give it to you."
Yu Qiansi picked one up and put it in her mouth, a hint of sweetness passing through her lips and teeth and spreading into her internal organs.
But I still couldn't suppress the pain in my heart.
She asked: "Those who died in the previous cases had red marks on the backs of their necks. Do you have any ideas?"
Boyi paused when he was about to serve the dishes and froze on the spot. His black eyes narrowed and he looked at Yu Qiansi through the food box with an unclear expression.
After Yu Qiansi asked the question, he felt relaxed and chuckled.
It seemed like he picked up a pebble at random and threw it into a deep pool, watching all the ripples like a spectator.
"The corpse brought back from the palace today also has these marks on its back."
Boyi blurted out: "It's impossible."
He had seen the corpse today. Although it had been soaked and deformed, it could not be older than twenty-eight.
Thinking about it, she has been in the palace for a short time, so how could she have anything to do with him? Could it be that she deliberately deceived herself?
Seeing that Yu Qiansi's eyes were cold, she became even more uneasy.
Sure enough, she asked: "How is it impossible?"
Boyi closed his eyes and didn't move.
Yu Qiansi did not rush, but just stared at the steaming soup pot of the stall owner. The steaming white steam seemed to be performing a life-or-death farewell in a silent place.
Boyi thought of all the things that had happened recently and what Yu Qiansi had said yesterday when he was drunk. He slowly exhaled the turbid breath in his mouth and finally made up his mind.
"After you promised to help me investigate old cases in the palace, I planned to tell you about it."
Yu Qiansi retracted her gaze, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: So easy?
Boyi laughed at himself: "I originally planned to wait for this matter to be finalized before I tell you together, and then it will be up to you to decide what to do. I didn't expect that this matter has happened so close to each other recently.
You bumped into me again, which makes me look dishonest."
He looked back calmly and saw the embarrassment flash across her pale eyes.
Sure enough, she remembered what she said when she was drunk yesterday.
"I didn't mean that..." Yu Qiansi mumbled.
She didn't want to ask him anything under the guise of being drunk.
It's just that they were destined to have different views, so they used the power of wine to make things clear.
Boyi was noncommittal and said in a loud voice: "Those people do have some relationship with me and my commission in the Yuli Pavilion. They are considered insiders. Therefore, I have been looking for their whereabouts recently to help you find out about the jade beads."
"But the reason why I say 'impossible' is because these people are all older people without exception. I guess you have also noticed it."
Yu Qian nodded. Whether it was Guang'an Marquis Mansion or Lingyun Pavilion's Manager Cao, they all seemed to be quite old.
Therefore, she was confused when she encountered this situation this time.
Speaking of this, Boyi felt a little nervous. His dark eyes were locked on Yu Qiansi, not wanting to miss the slightest look on her face.
Word by word: "Because they all took a drug called 'Huanyan' back then, that's why they left that red mark on the back of their necks."
Bright red like vermilion, surrounded by three petals, it is the raw material of phantom color, the appearance of a poisonous weed in southern Xinjiang.
"Anyone who takes this medicine will have this mark on their back."
Sure enough, as he expected, Yu Qiansi's complexion suddenly changed after hearing the word "Huan Yan".
"Impossible! All the raw materials for Huanyan have been destroyed long ago. It's impossible to leave anything behind!"
She had seen with her own eyes the flower field in the secret room of the Yu family. It was dark and ruined, and had long been burned down by Yu Lin'er with a fire before his death.
"Sure enough, this is your Yu family's medicine."
After he learned about Huanyan, he had been wondering how such a weird thing could come from.
Then he suspected that the only ones who could tame the poisonous weeds in Miao territory were the Yu family.
But all this is true.
"Remember that story I told you?"
Although they didn't say it explicitly, the two of them had a tacit understanding.
"That lady got some prepared pills from somewhere. In order to retain the insider, one day she would clear her grievances and use this technique to change a group of people to go out."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unfortunately, they are only acting under orders, and everyone knows the situation differently, so the progress is so slow. It is not clear how the magic face works.
Already.
After all, there have been too many changes in the past ten years, and too many people have disappeared. In fact, he has no idea how many people are still alive.
Thinking of what Zhang Yilun said just now, Yu Qiansi closed her eyes to cover up the sadness in her eyes.
The sweetness on the tip of the tongue is gone, leaving only endless sourness.
"Huanyan is related to the past of the Yu family. At that time, I... I was still young and didn't know about it, but I will find a way to find out about it."
This matter is not only related to the case and the princess case, but also to Zhang Yilun. She must ask clearly.
But...will Yu Linyi tell herself?
Boyi thanked him, his heart beating like a drum.
What he was going to say next was the decision he made after thinking about it for a long time.
He looked around and used his inner strength to investigate. The stall owner had already collected the money and he didn't know where he had gone. This place was located deep in the alley and there was no one around, so it was the most suitable place.
"I have something else to tell you about this matter -"
Yu Qiansi raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Boyi suddenly stop talking.
somebody is coming.
Shang Fu ran over with slow steps and out of breath. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them sitting at the stall.
Ignoring Boyi staring at him with a dark face, he panted and said: "Oh, Master Yu. I found you! I finally have news about what you ordered me to do!"
After saying that, he came close to the two of them and asked Boyi to step aside. He sat down with Boyi and took a sip of cold tea.
After taking a few breaths, he continued: "There is indeed something wrong with that Ma Nu! I sent people to ask around, and then I found out that his family members were missing!"
Before Yu Qiansi and Boyi could speak, he started making unreliable guesses again: "I guess, he must have been threatened with the lives of his family members, and he had no choice but to kill the princess!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to nod his head to confirm his speculation.
"Well done, thank you, Mr. Shaoqing."
It was rare to see Yu Qiansi praise himself, Shang Fu smiled like a ostentatious begonia flower, and he didn't even pay attention to the innocent-looking Boyi. He squeezed him over a little, and approached Yu Qiansi across the table, like a bird.
A black-backed thin dog begging for rewards.
Boyi sarcastically said: "Master Shaoqing has really done a good job. Ma Jian has already been arrested, and you came to report the news. It's just... just right."
"What? Already caught?"
Shang Fu stood up exaggeratedly, and the long bench suddenly lost its weight and tilted up, almost throwing Boyi to the ground.
He managed to stabilize his figure, and saw that Shang Fu was like a flower that had been beaten by frost, wilting and losing its vitality.
"Master Jade, it turns out that the murderer has been caught a long time ago... Are you just praising me just to comfort me..."
"That's right..."
Yu Qiansi squinted her eyes and took in Xiao Jiujiu between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, she admitted it, and Shang Fu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This trick of pretending to be weak didn't work very well.
"But actually, I already knew who the murderer was on the day of Star Reaching Tower and how he did it. I just lacked some reasons."
When she solves a case, she doesn't like to just investigate the case itself. Naturally, she wants to understand the causes and consequences and understand the twists and turns behind it.
"The news you just gave me happens to be a key part of it, so I don't have to guess and thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Shang Fu was overjoyed, and his face immediately showed it. He knew that this trick was effective!
"Then what to do next?"
Boyi also understood that since there were outsiders present at this moment, it was naturally difficult to continue the topic just now.
"I'm going to see Ma Jian, Boyi, please come with me."
Shang Fu pointed at himself eagerly: "What about me?"
"Can you please help me, Mr. Shaoqing, to check whether there were people of the same age as the seven deceased members of the Ministry of War who came in and out last night? Anyone who has been close to the Ministry of War, even if they only touched the outer wall with a finger, must be thoroughly checked.
"
"Take your orders!" Shang Fu Le Dian Dian left.
Seeing that it was too late, Yu Qiansi asked Boyi: "Can you take the receipt from Yuli Pavilion that I gave you with you?"
Boyi was slightly stunned: "Of course he is."
"Lend it to me first, and then I'll give you a new one."
