When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qingyang walked to the door of Qin Yuechuan's study and knocked on it lightly: "Your Majesty, this is Qingyang."

The voice called: "Come in."

Qingyang stepped in.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

Qin Yuechuan ordered expressionlessly: "Go and arrest Zhu Yingnian and interrogate him directly about the whereabouts of the account book."

"This... Your Majesty... If we arrest him now, will it alert the enemy?"

"I already warned the tigers the other day, not to mention startling them. By the way..."

Qin Yuechuan paused, pretended to look through the previous account books, and said: "By the way, torture him...Xu Yuanshan's case, see how much he can spit out."

Qingyang: "..."

So which one is by the way?

"Yes... Your Majesty, then this subordinate..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zhang knocked on the door: "My Lord, Miss Xu wants to see you. She said she has something important to tell you."

Little Sparrow has something to ask her?

Qin Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Bring her to see me."

Zhang Bo outside the door asked uncertainly: "Are you coming to the study?"

Qin Yuechuan replied calmly: "Yeah."

Zhang Bo was startled, but he calmed down for a moment.

He led Xu Xinyue to the door of Qin Yuechuan's study and then left on his own.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened without wind, leaving a gap.

Xu Xinyue gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"What do you want from me?" Qin Yuechuan spoke first.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Xu Xinyue felt unconsciously excited.

She also forgot to ask for Qin Yuechuan's consent, and quickly walked to the front of his desk, spread out the object in her palm and displayed it in front of him, as if to let him see it more clearly, and stretched her arm in front of him again and again.

Qin Yuechuan only saw a few plump and shiny grains of rice in her palm.

I was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant by this.

But her eyes were bright and her expression was excited, as if she had made an important discovery.

These grains of rice are her great discovery?

Qin Yuechuan said with interest:

"Come over here and tell me."

Xu Xinyue followed his instructions, walked around the table, and came to his side, putting her palm closer to his face.

The sweet fragrance of a woman lingers on the tip of my nose

The shiny and smooth rice grains seemed to be tainted with her sweet scent, and lay quietly in her soft palm.

If you look closely, you will see that the shapes and colors of these grains of rice seem to be slightly different.

Xu Xianyue spoke enthusiastically, "Today, Xiaochan accidentally made rice porridge for me using the rice she brought back.

But I found that the porridge was not tasty. Some of the rice was too soft, while some was still raw. "

When he got excited, he kept it a secret without any rules, and asked Qin Yuechuan with a smile: "Guess why?"

Seeing him talking about it with such relish, Qin Yuechuan pretended not to know and asked curiously like teasing a child: "Why?"

This greatly satisfied Xu Xinyue's desire to share, and she continued, "Because the rice grains in a bowl of porridge are of different varieties!"

Qin Yuechuan was like a very enthusiastic listener in a teahouse, raising questions at the right time to lead her to continue: "So what if the varieties are different?"

Xu Xinyue was a little surprised that he was so "slow-witted". After all the hints, he still couldn't guess it:

“Since the rice grains are different, it means that they come from different places.

I specifically asked the chef Li in the kitchen, and he said there were four kinds of rice in the cloth bag.

There are three kinds of rice that are unique to Jiangnan: japonica rice, glutinous rice, and late rice. There is also a kind of rice that is unique to our northern part. No, to be precise, it is a kind of rice that is currently unique to Kyoto. It is the rice grown from the new rice seeds supplied by Uman Country at the end of last year. It is called Uman rice here. "

Hearing this, Qin Yuechuan's expression gradually became serious and solemn, no longer teasing as before: "Continue."

“Since rice seeds are limited, it is not possible to plant them in large quantities at present. We have only specially opened up farms outside Kyoto for initial planting.

The production of this kind of rice is limited, and I heard that there are not many grain stores that supply it. Even in Kyoto, there are probably no more than three.

The one I have in my hand should be from one of them. But it is very expensive and ordinary merchants can't afford it.

Li said that only our palace was wealthy enough to purchase this kind of rice, otherwise ordinary people would never be able to see it...

So, maybe we can find out who is responsible for growing this Uman rice, or which rice shop has sold a large amount of this rice recently... Maybe we can follow the clues...

Find the buyer or grower, one of them might be the murderer!"

The more Xu Xinyue spoke, the more excited she became. She felt that her mood today was like a swing, swaying up and down, and she really had the feeling of "after a dark tunnel, there is a new world".

Qin Yuechuan looked up at her excited expression as if she had received an unexpected surprise, and felt that she was more like a happy little sparrow.

After being silent for a few days, it began to chirp again and become excited.

His mood seemed to be affected by her, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Is this what it feels like to have a pet?

Really interesting.

Xu Xinyue has informed Qin Yuechuan of all the gains today.

When it comes to the annual tribute, Qin Yuechuan's guesses are gradually confirmed.

This is indeed a very good breakthrough. The evidence obtained from such an investigation is much more convincing than the information obtained through direct torture and interrogation.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuechuan raised his eyes again and looked at the quirky person in front of him, and found it even more interesting.

The little sparrow really brought him an unexpected surprise.

What to do? He wanted to touch her little head again.

Qingyang, who had been keeping a low profile, just wanted to become a transparent person and quietly leave the study room in the face of this situation.

Just as he was about to take a few steps and try to escape, Qin Yuechuan suddenly spoke up: "Qingyang, cancel the plan. Give him two more days to live."

Although it was not specified who "he" was, both the master and the servant knew it.

Qingyang: “…Yes!”

He said, that was just a convenience.

Xu Xinyue was confused and puzzled: Who is that person?

However, she also knew that it would be inconvenient to reveal this matter to her, so she naturally kept silent about it.

“So, my Lord, let’s find someone who knows about grain tomorrow and go to the Ministry of Justice again. Maybe what we are waiting for is just the tip of the iceberg.

The murderer was indeed cunning, but also extremely careless. He made such a big mistake when replacing the cargo box of our Xu family.

But luckily I caught him by the tail."

There was even a hint of pride, with his chin slightly raised.

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Since things were already going well, he naturally agreed.

"Let Qingming go with you tomorrow. He will make all the arrangements."

"Then you won't come with me?"

Asking this question subconsciously, Xu Xinyue just wanted to bite off his tongue.

They are not related and it is an exception for them to travel together today, so why would he accompany me every time?

Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she blushed, hoping that Qin Yuechuan had not heard it, and hurriedly changed the subject:

"Well, well, I understand. I will go find Qingfeng tomorrow and just identify the types of rice. There is no need for you to come in person..."

Qin Yuechuan actually enjoyed her subconscious dependence very much.

This time, he followed his heart and gently stroked her hair, stroking it twice, as if to comfort her, or to coax her:

"If you're done, you can come back later... I want to eat the jade dew cake from the west of the city. Could you please bring some back tomorrow?"

Want to eat Yulu Cake? Ask her to bring it back?

Xu Xinyue just felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

I could only nod blankly and say "yes" softly.

Then she left the study.

It was already dusk and the corridor lights were flickering dimly.

There is a green bamboo forest outside Qin Yuechuan's study, and the rustling evening breeze blows through the forest.

The bamboo shadows are swaying and hazy.

There were a few fireflies faintly accompanying them, rising and falling, like stars falling into dust, scattered among them.

Xu Xinyue had never noticed that Qin Yuechuan actually had such an interesting side.

Her worries were gone and she felt her steps were lighter.

Like a flying bird, it flew farther and farther away, leaving the study.

Wait until the footsteps at the study door gradually fade away.

Qin Yuechuan's brows turned cold again, and he said seriously: "The palace will be on alert tomorrow, and no one will be seen. Go and ask for Doctor Xue."
