Ma'am, do you dare to answer?
Chapter 26 Chapter V 3 in 1
As soon as Qin Jian said this, it was like a stone shaking up a thousand waves. Before Lian Yan frowned, Qin Yun pulled her hand back instantly, looked at Lian Yan and then at Qin Jian, with a look on her face It was unbelievable, the jade pendant in her hand seemed to have a scorching temperature, burning along her fingertips all the way to her cheeks, and burning her pointed earlobes red.
Qin Yun stammered and said: "I, why don't I know? What kind of marriage contract, I've never heard of it!" She obviously wanted to ask the question outrightly, but after all, it touched the most private|secret thoughts of her daughter's family. Being publicly revealed on such an occasion, Qin Yun's crimson cheeks betrayed her true emotions at the moment.
Lian Yan was originally frowning, but when she saw Qin Yun's shy appearance, the displeasure in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she tossed and caught the jade pendant in her hand, the small jade pendant was as nimble as a finger in her hand The sharp saucer was flying, and after a long time, she slowly said: "Miss seems to be quite suspicious of this matter. Coincidentally, I also doubt it. My father has lived in Kyoto for a long time and rarely goes abroad, let alone Canglan, and he has never been here. , Zijin would like to ask Master Qin, when and where was this marriage contract made? This jade pendant alone may not hold water."
Qin Yun was nervous at first, but when she heard Lian Yan say this, she gave her a squinting look, and snorted disdainfully: "Can my father still lie to you? Believe it or not, you'll be overwhelmed, as if someone cares about this shitty marriage contract!"
"Yun'er!" Qin Jian reprimanded Qin Yun displeasedly when she heard Qin Yun swearing, "How do you speak? How did dad teach you?"
Qin Yun lowered her head and moved her lips: "Yun'er knows it's wrong." Lian Zijin was all to blame, she was so angry that she cursed in front of Qin Jian, she didn't even doubt it, why even Zijin doubted it!
"This jade pendant is a thousand-year-old jade, which is passed down from your family to your daughter-in-law." Qin Jian reached out to Qin Yun and took the jade pendant over: "It was originally a piece of jade, but because of this marriage contract, the old lady even found a skilled craftsman to hand over the jade pendant." If you don't believe me, put the two jade pendants together, and the engraving in the middle of the phoenix pattern is the Lian family emblem that outsiders will never know."
Lian Yan took the jade pendant again suspiciously. When Xia Qingshan sent the jade pendant that day, she just glanced at it in a hurry, and did not observe the jade pendant's texture carefully. At this moment, she put the two jade pendants back together. There is a small ligature pattern in the place, which is the family emblem of the Lian family!
The jade pendant was held in Lian Yan's hand, if it was just a jade pendant, it would be fine, but Qin Jian knew the origin of this jade pendant very well, especially he knew the family crest of the Lian family!You know, if Qin Jian was just an ordinary bandit, he would never recognize the Lian family's crest no matter what!
So who is this Qin Jian?
With doubts, Lian Yan asked, "Who are you? How did you get this jade pendant?"
"because……"
Just as Qin Yun was about to speak, Qin Jian told her before that her mother and Lian Zijin's mother exchanged handkerchiefs, so it is not surprising that this jade pendant is in her father's hands, but Qin Jian beat her up before she even spoke. broken.
"When the time comes, I will naturally tell you." Qin Jian grabbed Qin Yun's hand and pulled her to her side: "There are only two things in my life that I can't worry about. One is Yun'er, and the other is my cover-up. The folks and elders on the mountain. I invite you to go up the mountain this time. I am begging you, but it is also to show you the direction. Zijin, Bicui Mountain will not be a hindrance to your suppression of bandits. I will even do my best to help you eradicate the vicious Lan's scourge of gangsters, but do you really know who your enemy is?"
"What do you mean?" Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian in front of him: "Who is my enemy?"
"The murderer who killed Ms. Guan is your real enemy." Qin Jian was breathing heavily, apparently talking too much and was already unable to hold on: "You must have known that Ms. Guan's body was used to hide the emerald green. The mountain was discovered, but what I want to tell you is that the person was discovered in the Jicui Mountain, and the Jicui Mountain was also planted, and the purpose of that person is to make you think that we are the real murderers."
"I know you didn't do it."
Lian Yan was taking the jade pendant out of her arms to show them the half of Su brocade, but Qin Yun thought she was going to put away both jade pendants, so she stepped forward and pulled the jade pendant from Lian Yan's hand He took one back and held it in his hand, and said without anger: "Why do you take it away, and the other one is mine!"
A thousand-year-old ancient jade is worth half of it!
Lian Yan stared blankly at the jade pendant that was half missing, and was a little dumbfounded. Seeing that the angry lady was holding the jade pendant in her hand, she looked like a little leopard protecting food, so she couldn't help teasing her: "Since If you take the jade pendant from my Lian family, you are considered a member of my Lian family. Little lady, come and stand by my side."
Xia Qingshan, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't expect that the little overlord who was walking sideways in the cottage would also meet his opponent. This even the master is probably the nemesis of the young lady. Seeing the young lady, she was speechless in embarrassment It can be said that Xia Qingshan felt that if it was for a lover, it might also be for Huanxi's enemy.
"You! Lian Zijin!" Qin Yun held back for a long time: "Who is from your Lian family? Don't put gold on your face. You can take this jade pendant, and it can be converted into 5 taels of cash. I will Here it is!" After finishing speaking, he proudly held up the half jade pendant and signaled to Lian Yan.
Lian Yan shook his head: "Then let it be with you. Wouldn't it be a betrothal gift if I gave you cash? It's unreasonable both emotionally and rationally." Then he took out the half of Su Jin from his arms and handed it to Qin Jian: "This I found it from Miss Guan's corpse, Master Qin will have a look to see if he can find out something."
Qin Yun was so choked that she opened her mouth to refute, but she saw that Lian Yan had already started talking about business in a serious manner, and she bit her lip as if she was making trouble out of no reason, and sat down on the side of Qin Jian's bed unwillingly. Half a jade pendant, like a defeated rooster, is very downcast.
Qin Jian took the piece of Su brocade, put it in front of him, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Lian Yan: "I don't know this thing, nor have I seen it before, but I should be able to guess its owner."
"Who is it?" Lian Yan asked in a deep voice: "This section of Su brocade is not made by ordinary people, let alone in a remote area like Canglan. I guessed a few big families, and I originally planned to ask Ouyang Lu to check it out." See if there are any clues, if Master Qin knows, it would be great."
"That's what I just wanted to tell you." Qin Jian lay back on the mat feeling a little weak, and said, "If I'm not wrong, this piece of Su brocade should belong to Ouyang Lu."
Qin Jian spoke frankly and naturally, without giving Lian Yan any chance to react.
"What?!" Lian Yan frowned and pinched the piece of fabric in his hands: "Master Qin, don't make false statements. Master Ouyang is dedicated to the court and the people. How can you just slander me casually!"
"False accusation?" Qin Yun raised her head and looked at Lian Yan: "How do you know it will be a false accusation? Hmph, that little boy surnamed Ouyang is not a good thing, I advise you, you should polish your eyes before speaking!"
Qin Jian waved to Qin Yun, signaling her to be quiet, and then said to Lian Yan: "I know you will doubt what I say, but it's a good thing to have doubts. What you hold in your hand is evidence, since you can judge from this Su Jin The person who killed Ms. Guan did not come from Zicui Mountain, so I must be able to find the real murderer from it."
"I will." Lian Yan lowered his eyes: "That doesn't mean you can talk nonsense."
"It's true that Ouyang Lu was just talking about it, but you'll have to investigate to find out whether it's just lying or not." Qin Jian continued: "Zi Jin, no matter whether the murderer is Ouyang Lu or not, he has nothing to do with him! Cang Lan is his territory, and it's far more complicated than you can imagine. Here, except for Bicui Mountain, all cottages, big and small, will pay tribute to Ouyang Lu. They collude with each other. , put the plundered gold and silver treasures on the Jicui Mountain. Do you think that the Zicui Mountain is really notorious? It’s just that we don’t follow Ouyang Lu’s set. Provoking the forces in the court, but Ouyang Lu is against it, he regards Zhecui Mountain as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of us, after several visits, the situation of Zicui Mountain will become more and more difficult."
"With Ouyang Lu, a small Zhizhou, how could he have such a great ability to win over all the bandits in Canglan?" Lian Yan didn't believe it: "I know that Master Qin wants to preserve your power to cover Cuishan, but you If you want to provoke the relationship between me and Master Ouyang, you should change the words that I can believe."
"Stupid!" Qin Yun couldn't help muttering from the side: "My father is doing it for your own good. Believe it or not. Many Beijing officials died in Ouyang Lu's hands. If you don't believe it, wait until the day you disagree. When the time comes, let’s see if he will leave you alive! I’m afraid there won’t even be a body collector!”
Lian Yan frowned: "If there is no evidence, you can just talk about it. If you want me to believe that Ouyang Lu colluded with bandits, you have to come up with some decent evidence. You just have to talk about it and say something. Convicting Ouyang Lu directly would be too childish!"
"What evidence do you want!" Qin Yun stood up angrily: "The 'Liangyin' you brought over is the best evidence! It is my mother's relic, but tell me, where did you come from?" Got it?"
"When did 'Liangyin' become your mother's relic?" Lian Yan was confused, and then recalled that Qin Jian knew the origin of "Liangyin" very well, so he looked at Qin Jian subconsciously: " That piano was indeed given to me by Ouyang Lu, but what does that prove?"
"The Qin was snatched by bandits here when I first arrived in Canglan with Yun'er." Qin Jian sighed: "After that, I searched all over Canglan, but there was no trace, but I didn't expect It will be in Ouyang Lu's hands."
"You mean that Ouyang Lu stole your qin?" Lian Yan snorted coldly: "It's a joke! It's just a qin. Does the qin found in Ouyang Lu's hands mean that Ouyang Lu took it away? Qin Da You still have to be responsible for what you say!"
Lian Yan's attitude is very tough, leaving Qin Jian with almost nothing to say. No matter what he says, Lian Yan can always find a rebuttal quickly. She has her own thoughts and cognitions, and will not be taken away by Qin Jian's thoughts. Even if the seeds of doubt had indeed been planted in her heart at this moment, she would not show it in front of Qin Jian.
"If the boss has nothing else to do, then Zijin will go down the mountain first." Lian Yan cupped his hands at Qin Jian, she already knew about what she should know, and the rest, no matter how gaudy Qin Jian said, After all, she won't believe it easily, and staying any longer is just a waste of time.
Qin Jian can also see that Lian Yan is not someone who can easily talk, and it is impossible to convince her without definite evidence, so she sighed and said: "You have to keep in mind what you said today, yes Ouyang Lu is also careful, don't trust him. Yun'er, go see off Master Lian."
Qin Yun was not very happy when she heard it, but seeing Qin Jian's insistence, she stood up and said dryly to Lian Yan: "Master Lian please."
Lian Yan watched the young miss's temper, shook her head and followed her.This young lady really doesn't know how to hide what's on her mind, obviously they are the ones asking her now, but this young lady is very rude, she can't even say a nice soft word, it seems that she still owes a lesson.
Qin Yun led Lian Yan out along the way, kicking small stones as she walked, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What kind of general master, I will have a name in a while, and I don't know what to call it. I really think I am a changeable girl She's a hero." The Variety Heroine is the character in the drama when she went down to the mountain to listen to the drama before, her identity changes, and she likes to act chivalrously and fight for the people.
Looking at Qin Yun who was staggering in front, Lian Yan couldn't help asking: "What are you mumbling about?"
"I'm scolding you, what's the matter?" Qin Yun turned her face and stared at her: "You are so stupid, why don't you let me scold you? Just scold you, idiot!"
Even the blue veins on Yan's forehead twitched, but she couldn't hold it back for a long time. She supported her forehead and grabbed Qin Yun's arm: "Little girl is overwhelmed, but she can be brave. Your father is like that." Taught you?"
Qin Yun couldn't struggle, and wanted to bite her again, but Lian Yan had noticed it a long time ago, grabbed Qin Yun's chin with one hand, shook his head and said: "After all, I have also become your wife, so I will teach you. One trick does not need two tricks." time, remember?"
Seeing Qin Yun's dissatisfied face, still whimpering and murmuring indistinctly, Lian Yan said helplessly: "Do you know what stupidity is? It's you, my eldest lady. Your father He led me up the mountain with a jade pendant, and first told me that we had a marriage contract, but before I could react, he told me that Ouyang Lu was in collusion with bandits. The situation directly determines the matter of life and death! How do you want me to believe him based on his one-sided words, a piano and a jade pendant that can't even talk? Qin Yun, I'm not you. killed me, you know?"
Qin Yun, who was restrained by Lian Yan, looked at the expression in Lian Yan's eyes, which was serious and serious, completely different from the Mrs. Lian she had seen before. The eyes before were gentle, carrying the warmth of winter. Yang-like feeling, but now Lian Zijin is more like a sharp sword with a hidden edge, and those eyes are like eagles, capable of tearing prey to pieces at any time!
Like a ghost, Qin Yun stopped struggling, and blinked at Lian Yan, expressing that she understood, Lian Yan was just feeling surprised, and suddenly heard an exclamation from behind accompanied by a crisp sound: "You, you let go Miss, I'm going to call someone!"
Turning her face to look, Qin Yun's silly maid, Hua'er, was nervous, with a broken bowl under her feet, for fear that she would do something wrong to Qin Yun.Lian Yan was about to let go of Qin Yun when she felt a throbbing pain in her calf. It turned out that the girl Qin Yun kicked her calf fiercely while she was turning around, and then pushed her away. He said triumphantly: "The master taught me that the same trick cannot be used twice. How about it, is Yun'er a fast learner?"
Lian Yan endured the pain and rubbed his calf, and still nodded appreciatively at Qin Yun: "Yes, I'm a fast learner. I'm quite enlightened, and I'm very satisfied as a teacher."
It's just that when she bent down, her gaze skipped Hua'er's feet, her face changed immediately, and she didn't care about the pain in her leg, she strode towards Hua'er, when Hua'er saw her coming, her memory was still there When Wan Lianyan used a dagger to force her young lady, his face turned pale with fright, he turned his face and ran with the tray in his arms, and he didn't forget to call Qin Yun while running.
Seeing her maidservant look so hopeless, Qin Yun couldn't help but sighed, seeing Lian Yan squatting where Hua'er had just stood, Qin Yun walked over curiously, looked condescendingly for a while. Seeing the reason, I had no choice but to imitate Yan Yan and squat down.
"What are you looking at?" Hua'er accidentally spilled the medicine bowl on the ground: "It's just a bowl, if it breaks, it will break. Let's go, I'll take you down the mountain."
Lian Yan looked at it for a while before raising his head and asking, "Is this medicine given to Master Qin?"
Qin Yun didn't know why Lian Yan asked this question, so she could only nod her head: "Yes, I originally made the medicine, but my father refused to let me make it, so Hua'er did it. What's wrong?"
"This medicine is poisonous." Lian Yan looked solemn, pointed to the bluestone slab on the ground and said, "Look at the edge of the slate has begun to turn black, it's because the minerals in the slate have reacted with the poison in the medicine."
"Poisonous?" Qin Yun didn't believe it: "Did you read it wrong? The stone slabs on the ground are exposed to the wind and sun, so it's normal for the color to change?"
"Normal color changes are not like this." Lian Yan pulled out a silver hairpin from Qin Yun's hair, and passed it through the remaining medicine residue on the ground. Sure enough, the tail of the silver hairpin had turned black. Lian Yan Seriously said: "Someone is going to poison|harm Master Qin, I'm afraid there may be a traitor in your cottage!"
Watching the silver hairpin turn black, Qin Yun's expression changed, and she staggered when she stood up, Lian Yan silently reached out to support her: "How long have you been drinking this medicine?"
No wonder when she saw Qin Jian, she felt that the sickness on his face was a bit abnormal. It was only half a month since she first saw Qin Jian, and it was impossible for an ordinary illness to detoxify a person's body in such a short period of time. Cannibalize to such an extent, but if someone poisons|poisons, then the situation will be different!
"I don't know." Qin Yun's face was not very good: "My father has been taking medicine since he was sick, but my father has been sick for several years, and he gets sick and coughs almost every winter, but this year's situation is worse than previous years a little."
"Hua'er." Lian Yan called Hua'er who was trembling beside him: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Hua'er's hand holding the tray was trembling: "I don't know, I'm just decocting medicine, I don't know why there is | poison in the medicine." She ran two steps just now, and found that even the master didn't want to arrest her , just silently stood aside, and when he saw the silver hairpin turn black, his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Qin Yun ignorantly leaned on Lian Yan, grabbed Lian Yan's sleeve as if it was her own, and repeated softly: "It can't be Hua'er, she treats my father as her own relative, she is timid, you Don't scare her."
Lian Yan looked at the eldest lady, she still didn't say some things, this is not a place to talk, so she dragged Qin Yun directly to her small building.Her world is only in a place as big as Jacui Mountain, and she doesn't understand the darkness outside. She recognizes that she is her own person, and she feels that this person is also her own person, and she will not betray her, but she has never After thinking about it, the human heart is not that simple.
In the small building, Lian Yan placed Qin Yun on the soft bed on one side, poured her a cup of hot tea to ease her emotions, closed the upstairs windows tightly, and began to question Hua'er.
"It's not me." Hua'er cried: "The head of the family picked me up and let me read and read with the eldest lady. It's a kindness to Hua'er. I'm not the kind of ungrateful person."
"I didn't say it was you." Looking at the weeping flowers, Lian Yan couldn't help scolding: "I ask you, did you ever leave the stove when you were boiling the medicine?"
"Yes." Hua'er sniffed and nodded: "I just add the medicine to the water and bring it to a boil, then turn it to a low heat and cook it slowly, then go to help the aunt pick vegetables, and the medicine will be almost done when I come back." .”
"Every time?" Lian Yan frowned.
"Every time." Hua'er choked, "The timing is just right, and it doesn't delay things."
"There are so many people in Zicui Mountain, and there is no guarantee that this medicine will make people tamper with it at any time." Lian Yan sighed, and said to Qin Yun: "Don't say anything about it, Master Qin's medicine has also been temporarily stopped. Hua'er boils the medicine according to your old habit, you must leave for a while in the middle, pretending that nothing happened, you know?"
Qin Yun bit her lip and said bitterly: "I know, you can't scare the snake!" The fingertips were pinched into the flesh, and the pain made her more awake. It turned out that it was not a serious illness at all, but someone deliberately poisoned her father!
Lian Yan was still worried after a few words of advice, and asked Hua'er to stay outside the door before saying to Qin Yun, "Calm down, this matter is not that simple."
"I know, when I catch that traitor, I will definitely chop him up!" Qin Yun punched the table heavily, and the tea in the cup was splashed out, wet the delicate tablecloth: " If you dare to assassinate my father, I will let him taste the fate of betraying my father!"
Seeing Qin Yun who was so excited, Lian Yan was glad that he stayed, grabbed Qin Yun's hand to calm her down, and then said: "You can't be so excited, you have to pretend that nothing happened, this matter No one can say anything about it, including Xia Qingshan. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You doubt me, Uncle Xia?" Qin Yun shook off Lian Yan's hand in disbelief: "Uncle Xia is absolutely impossible! Lian Zijin, if you don't understand us, don't talk nonsense. Uncle Xia is sincere to my father, absolutely I won’t play|poison my father!”
"Qin Yun!" Lian Yan scolded in a low voice: "Calm down. I doubt everyone on your mountain! Qin Jian is the head of the family and the actual person in charge of Jicui Mountain. If he dies, the biggest beneficiary Who is it? It's Xia Qingshan, your second boss! I'm just guessing reasonably, I want you to be vigilant, for you and for Qin Jian, don't forget, Qin Jian is still lying on the hospital bed, do you think he How long can it last? Not only the poisoning this time, but also the last time Miss Guan's body was found by Ouyang Lu, I'm afraid it was intentional. Otherwise, the corpse is in the back of your mountain, how could it be so easy for Ouyang Lu took it away? Don't forget that Miss Guan's body was also handled by Xia Qingshan alone!"
"Don't try to sow discord, I won't doubt Uncle Xia." Qin Yun turned her face away and ignored Lian Yan: "General Lian, please go, this is a matter of our cottage, so I won't send it away!"
Looking at the young lady who turned her face and refused to recognize anyone, even her teeth were itchy, she slapped the table, and even knocked over the tea on the table, and asked sarcastically: "Then who do you suspect? Who do you think?" ? Who do you think will poison the Qin family? Who will deliberately send news to Ouyang Lu? After careful consideration in your mind, do you not find a suitable candidate at all? Do you think that everyone Won't you betray Qin Jian? Betray Jicui Mountain?"
"So what? I'll know when I catch him." Qin Yun, not to be outdone, choked back at Chao Lianyan: "If you doubt Uncle Xia casually, it's slander! If you say something so grand, why don't you doubt it?" Where is that despicable and shameless villain Ouyang Lu? He also said that we are sowing discord. I think you are really trying to sow discord. My father is seriously ill. If you continue to sow discord between me and Uncle Xia, then we will cover it up. Cuishan will fall apart, and there is no need for people from your court to send troops to suppress any bandits, Lian Zijin, you mean and shameless villain!"
As she spoke, her eyes became red. Now that the imperial court is stationed at the foot of the mountain, they might be attacked at any time. Her father is still lying on the sickbed, and his health is getting worse day by day. There are also traitors in the mountain. Her father is going down|Poison might even inform those lackeys of the imperial court at the foot of the mountain. Now that Lian Zijin said that even Uncle Xia can't be trusted, who else can she trust?What should she do?
Seeing Qin Yun's red eyes, Lian Yan also knew that she might have been a little impulsive just now. This young lady is not emotionally stable now. If she breaks her small world and asks her to face the darkness of reality directly, she can't wait for a while. Absolutely couldn't accept it for a while, sat beside Qin Yun, rubbed her soft hair, and said: "Who told you that I don't doubt Ouyang Lu? I doubt Ouyang Lu, since I decided to reunite with Xia Qingshan When I came up to Bicui Mountain, I doubted him, otherwise, why didn't I go to Ouyang Lu and go to your Bicui Mountain instead? Otherwise, if I have something to say, just tell him no?"
Seeing Qin Yun blinking her innocent and ignorant eyes, Lian Yan continued: "Sometimes doubts don't have to be revealed. The situation is unclear. Although I suspect Ouyang Lu, I don't believe your father. In this Canglan, they say I don't believe every word of what you said, I only believe in my own judgment. So, you have to do the same now, do you understand?"
"Only believe in my own judgment?" Qin Yun said hoarsely: "But I have no judgment, I can't doubt Uncle Xia, I can't doubt everyone on the mountain, they are all my relatives."
"But these relatives you thought are going to kill your father and you now." Lian Yan forced Qin Yun to say: "If you don't face this reality, it's not just as simple as poisoning, you don't want the whole The Bicuishan family was ruined, right?"
Seeing that Qin Yun was silent, Lian Yan continued: "Little girl, our position is the same now. So, you have to be vigilant, and according to what I told you, no one will be allowed to come to you until the truth is known. Believe it, only trust your own judgment, if you don’t have a judgment, then you wait for me, I will help you find the murderer.”
Qin Yun raised her head and looked at Lian Yan. She has a pretty face, and the words she speaks are indeed convincing. When those eyes stare at you seriously, they look like a huge whirlpool, which will make people sink unconsciously in it. , Qin Yun subconsciously withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and said, "You said, don't believe anyone, so should I also doubt what you said?"
Hearing what Qin Yun said, Lian Yan laughed. Although this girl is simple, her mind is quite flexible. She nodded: "If you have your own judgment, you don't have to trust me, just trust your own judgment."
"But, I believe you." Qin Yun looked up at Lian Yan and said seriously: "Master Lian, you have taught me another lesson. You are my master, so I believe you."
After finishing speaking, he added a sentence belatedly: "That Ouyang Lu is really not a good person. He really took money from other cottages. This is what Wang Daya told me. Wang Daya is the owner of the next cottage. Ouyang Lu's people are under house arrest. If you can find Wang Daya, you can prove that what my father said is true. He didn't lie to you, and he didn't try to sow discord. He really wanted to please you. You save Cuishan this time."
"Okay, I'll go to that Wang Daya to verify the facts." Lian Yan nodded, seeing that Qin Yun's expression was still in a daze, he teased her and said, "Why don't you ask me why I believe you?"
"Why?" Qin Yun asked back as expected.
"Because..." Lian Yan dangled the half jade pendant that he did not know when he took it out of his arms, and leaned in front of Qin Yun and said triumphantly: "Because you are the little daughter-in-law promised to our Lian family. It’s okay to have a letter.”
"Who promised to give it to your family, Lian Zijin, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yun was so ashamed that she pushed Lian Yan away: "Stay away from me!"
Lian Yan stood up following her strength, hung the jade pendant on her waist calmly, and said: "I still have something to do, I have to go down the mountain first, and I will keep all the words I told you in my heart. When I deal with the matter down the mountain, Come up to find you again, take care of yourself, stay vigilant, you know?"
Qin Yun nodded, watched as Lian Yan opened the window and jumped out, quickly disappeared from her sight, touched the half jade pendant hidden in her bosom with one hand, bit her lips lightly, and said what Lian Yan had just said Go through it in your mind.Lian Zijin and her were supposed to be two different opposites, but they unexpectedly stood on the same side. Ouyang Lu, the traitor who poisoned her father, was the common enemy of her and Lian Zijin, Qin Yun Suddenly, I felt that Lian Zijin was not so annoying anymore.
She is indeed excellent, has her own ideas, and will not be taken away by some outside voices from her original rhythm. It is this unique characteristic of her that gives Qin Yun the feeling of being the backbone, making her uncomfortable. No matter how frightened she was, holding the half jade pendant in her palm, Qin Yun felt that the jade in her palm seemed to give her strength, enough to support her to find the traitor and prop up the Jicui Mountain!
Lian Yan followed the trail all the way down the mountain, but when he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard the sound of the suona trumpet blowing and beating. He was blowing and blowing at the Jacui Mountain, followed by a little maid, all in filial attire, holding a memorial tablet in her hand, following behind the band. This was clearly a funeral procession, but why was the funeral sent to Jicui Mountain?
Lian Yan observed in the dark for a while, and found that although the team was for a funeral, the coffin was not in the team. They must have gone to the burial place first, and only this team was left here to sing the mourning music. It's just deliberately trying to find bad luck for Zhecui Mountain!
If it was before, Lian Yan wouldn't mind this kind of nosy business, but she just came down from the mountain, and the scene on the Bicui Mountain was much more difficult than she thought. With Qin Yun's red eyes, she couldn't help it with little effort. no help.
The soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain did not expect General Lian to come over, so they rushed forward to say hello: "Why did the general come here today? Everything is normal. The subordinates are closely monitoring every move on the mountain, and the people in the mountain have not acted rashly. I don't know if the general has any information." What order?"
Lian Yan looked at the soldiers with blood on their faces, remembering that Xia Qingshan led her past their defense calmly, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Nodding his head, he said: "You all have worked hard and have nothing to do. Come and see the scene on the mountain. Be sure to keep a tight guard. No one in the mountain can let go of the mountain, you know?"
The soldier nodded again and again: "General, don't worry."
"Also, what is Chuichuidada doing over there?" Lian Yan frowned displeased: "Don't you know we're stationed here? Disturbing the morale of the army."
The soldier hurriedly said: "Isn't that Miss Guan family dead? Today's funeral was arranged by Master Guan."
"If there is a grievance, the court will decide for them. What's the use of guarding a mountain and playing some mourning music?" Lian Yan said in a deep voice: "Let them all withdraw, don't surround here, and delay the business."
"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.
Lian Yan looked at the mourning team with his hands behind his back, he seemed unwilling but couldn't bear the official's order, so he had no choice but to pack up his things and leave dejectedly.This is the first time she has used the privileges of her status to do such a thing. It was for the wronged eyes of someone in a border town. She felt a little ridiculous, but she couldn't laugh. As she walked farther, Lian Yan felt that a certain fetter in her heart seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. She couldn't control it, and she didn't want to control it.
After returning to the station, Lian Yan changed her clothes and went straight to Ouyang Lu's yamen non-stop. She wanted to get Miss Guan's complete autopsy records, and if Ouyang Lu didn't give it to her, she could only look for it secretly.The few people who were guarding the gate of the yamen in Zhizhou Mansion came down several times, and they even knew Yan. They greeted casually, and found out that Ouyang Lu was not in the yamen at the moment.
It would be even easier to find Wu to make an autopsy report.
After folding those pages and putting them in his arms, Lian Yan didn't leave in a hurry.Instead, he headed towards Ouyang Lu's inner house. The backyard of Zhizhou Yamen is Ouyang Lu's inner house, which is convenient for state officials to work on the spot, and it is also convenient for Lian Yan to find Ouyang Lu's bedroom easily.
Lian Yan punctured the screen window, and after confirming that there was no one inside, opened the door and entered Ouyang Lu's bedroom. Looking around, there were no other decorations except for a few copied calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Similar to Ouyang Lu's impression, he is diligent, thrifty and noble, and puts on a good air.It's just that what's going on inside is probably unknown!
Opening the slightly dilapidated wardrobe, except for a few court clothes, it was Ouyang Lu's daily clothes, which were all very common fabrics on the street, and there was no difference except old and new.Ouyang Lu has always been a thrifty person, and she was not surprised to see these inkstones. She flipped through them casually, thinking that she would find nothing, but in a corner of the closet, she saw a very delicate wooden box, although it was locked. , but it is not locked. It seems that Ouyang Lu is quite confident, thinking that no one will look through his closet except himself, or it may just happen to forget to lock it.
In short, no matter what the reason was, Lian Yan easily opened the wooden box.There is also an exquisite small box inside the wooden box, Lian Yan noticed it, but her attention was more on the neatly stacked inner clothes in the wooden box!
Different from the simple and visible outer shirts hanging in the closet, Lian Yan casually turned the inner clothes from top to bottom, each piece was well-made, and the fabrics used were also precious and elegant, except for the clothes she knew In addition to Su Jin and Luo Jin, there are also some materials that Lian Yan has never seen before. They are silky and delicate. Not to mention a mere fifth-rank local magistrate, even the dignitaries in Kyoto have to weigh some materials!
This Ouyang Lu is really hiding something!
However, there is no source of the half of Su Jin in her hand in the wooden box. Although there are similarities, it cannot be justified
Qin Yun stammered and said: "I, why don't I know? What kind of marriage contract, I've never heard of it!" She obviously wanted to ask the question outrightly, but after all, it touched the most private|secret thoughts of her daughter's family. Being publicly revealed on such an occasion, Qin Yun's crimson cheeks betrayed her true emotions at the moment.
Lian Yan was originally frowning, but when she saw Qin Yun's shy appearance, the displeasure in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she tossed and caught the jade pendant in her hand, the small jade pendant was as nimble as a finger in her hand The sharp saucer was flying, and after a long time, she slowly said: "Miss seems to be quite suspicious of this matter. Coincidentally, I also doubt it. My father has lived in Kyoto for a long time and rarely goes abroad, let alone Canglan, and he has never been here. , Zijin would like to ask Master Qin, when and where was this marriage contract made? This jade pendant alone may not hold water."
Qin Yun was nervous at first, but when she heard Lian Yan say this, she gave her a squinting look, and snorted disdainfully: "Can my father still lie to you? Believe it or not, you'll be overwhelmed, as if someone cares about this shitty marriage contract!"
"Yun'er!" Qin Jian reprimanded Qin Yun displeasedly when she heard Qin Yun swearing, "How do you speak? How did dad teach you?"
Qin Yun lowered her head and moved her lips: "Yun'er knows it's wrong." Lian Zijin was all to blame, she was so angry that she cursed in front of Qin Jian, she didn't even doubt it, why even Zijin doubted it!
"This jade pendant is a thousand-year-old jade, which is passed down from your family to your daughter-in-law." Qin Jian reached out to Qin Yun and took the jade pendant over: "It was originally a piece of jade, but because of this marriage contract, the old lady even found a skilled craftsman to hand over the jade pendant." If you don't believe me, put the two jade pendants together, and the engraving in the middle of the phoenix pattern is the Lian family emblem that outsiders will never know."
Lian Yan took the jade pendant again suspiciously. When Xia Qingshan sent the jade pendant that day, she just glanced at it in a hurry, and did not observe the jade pendant's texture carefully. At this moment, she put the two jade pendants back together. There is a small ligature pattern in the place, which is the family emblem of the Lian family!
The jade pendant was held in Lian Yan's hand, if it was just a jade pendant, it would be fine, but Qin Jian knew the origin of this jade pendant very well, especially he knew the family crest of the Lian family!You know, if Qin Jian was just an ordinary bandit, he would never recognize the Lian family's crest no matter what!
So who is this Qin Jian?
With doubts, Lian Yan asked, "Who are you? How did you get this jade pendant?"
"because……"
Just as Qin Yun was about to speak, Qin Jian told her before that her mother and Lian Zijin's mother exchanged handkerchiefs, so it is not surprising that this jade pendant is in her father's hands, but Qin Jian beat her up before she even spoke. broken.
"When the time comes, I will naturally tell you." Qin Jian grabbed Qin Yun's hand and pulled her to her side: "There are only two things in my life that I can't worry about. One is Yun'er, and the other is my cover-up. The folks and elders on the mountain. I invite you to go up the mountain this time. I am begging you, but it is also to show you the direction. Zijin, Bicui Mountain will not be a hindrance to your suppression of bandits. I will even do my best to help you eradicate the vicious Lan's scourge of gangsters, but do you really know who your enemy is?"
"What do you mean?" Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian in front of him: "Who is my enemy?"
"The murderer who killed Ms. Guan is your real enemy." Qin Jian was breathing heavily, apparently talking too much and was already unable to hold on: "You must have known that Ms. Guan's body was used to hide the emerald green. The mountain was discovered, but what I want to tell you is that the person was discovered in the Jicui Mountain, and the Jicui Mountain was also planted, and the purpose of that person is to make you think that we are the real murderers."
"I know you didn't do it."
Lian Yan was taking the jade pendant out of her arms to show them the half of Su brocade, but Qin Yun thought she was going to put away both jade pendants, so she stepped forward and pulled the jade pendant from Lian Yan's hand He took one back and held it in his hand, and said without anger: "Why do you take it away, and the other one is mine!"
A thousand-year-old ancient jade is worth half of it!
Lian Yan stared blankly at the jade pendant that was half missing, and was a little dumbfounded. Seeing that the angry lady was holding the jade pendant in her hand, she looked like a little leopard protecting food, so she couldn't help teasing her: "Since If you take the jade pendant from my Lian family, you are considered a member of my Lian family. Little lady, come and stand by my side."
Xia Qingshan, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't expect that the little overlord who was walking sideways in the cottage would also meet his opponent. This even the master is probably the nemesis of the young lady. Seeing the young lady, she was speechless in embarrassment It can be said that Xia Qingshan felt that if it was for a lover, it might also be for Huanxi's enemy.
"You! Lian Zijin!" Qin Yun held back for a long time: "Who is from your Lian family? Don't put gold on your face. You can take this jade pendant, and it can be converted into 5 taels of cash. I will Here it is!" After finishing speaking, he proudly held up the half jade pendant and signaled to Lian Yan.
Lian Yan shook his head: "Then let it be with you. Wouldn't it be a betrothal gift if I gave you cash? It's unreasonable both emotionally and rationally." Then he took out the half of Su Jin from his arms and handed it to Qin Jian: "This I found it from Miss Guan's corpse, Master Qin will have a look to see if he can find out something."
Qin Yun was so choked that she opened her mouth to refute, but she saw that Lian Yan had already started talking about business in a serious manner, and she bit her lip as if she was making trouble out of no reason, and sat down on the side of Qin Jian's bed unwillingly. Half a jade pendant, like a defeated rooster, is very downcast.
Qin Jian took the piece of Su brocade, put it in front of him, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Lian Yan: "I don't know this thing, nor have I seen it before, but I should be able to guess its owner."
"Who is it?" Lian Yan asked in a deep voice: "This section of Su brocade is not made by ordinary people, let alone in a remote area like Canglan. I guessed a few big families, and I originally planned to ask Ouyang Lu to check it out." See if there are any clues, if Master Qin knows, it would be great."
"That's what I just wanted to tell you." Qin Jian lay back on the mat feeling a little weak, and said, "If I'm not wrong, this piece of Su brocade should belong to Ouyang Lu."
Qin Jian spoke frankly and naturally, without giving Lian Yan any chance to react.
"What?!" Lian Yan frowned and pinched the piece of fabric in his hands: "Master Qin, don't make false statements. Master Ouyang is dedicated to the court and the people. How can you just slander me casually!"
"False accusation?" Qin Yun raised her head and looked at Lian Yan: "How do you know it will be a false accusation? Hmph, that little boy surnamed Ouyang is not a good thing, I advise you, you should polish your eyes before speaking!"
Qin Jian waved to Qin Yun, signaling her to be quiet, and then said to Lian Yan: "I know you will doubt what I say, but it's a good thing to have doubts. What you hold in your hand is evidence, since you can judge from this Su Jin The person who killed Ms. Guan did not come from Zicui Mountain, so I must be able to find the real murderer from it."
"I will." Lian Yan lowered his eyes: "That doesn't mean you can talk nonsense."
"It's true that Ouyang Lu was just talking about it, but you'll have to investigate to find out whether it's just lying or not." Qin Jian continued: "Zi Jin, no matter whether the murderer is Ouyang Lu or not, he has nothing to do with him! Cang Lan is his territory, and it's far more complicated than you can imagine. Here, except for Bicui Mountain, all cottages, big and small, will pay tribute to Ouyang Lu. They collude with each other. , put the plundered gold and silver treasures on the Jicui Mountain. Do you think that the Zicui Mountain is really notorious? It’s just that we don’t follow Ouyang Lu’s set. Provoking the forces in the court, but Ouyang Lu is against it, he regards Zhecui Mountain as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of us, after several visits, the situation of Zicui Mountain will become more and more difficult."
"With Ouyang Lu, a small Zhizhou, how could he have such a great ability to win over all the bandits in Canglan?" Lian Yan didn't believe it: "I know that Master Qin wants to preserve your power to cover Cuishan, but you If you want to provoke the relationship between me and Master Ouyang, you should change the words that I can believe."
"Stupid!" Qin Yun couldn't help muttering from the side: "My father is doing it for your own good. Believe it or not. Many Beijing officials died in Ouyang Lu's hands. If you don't believe it, wait until the day you disagree. When the time comes, let’s see if he will leave you alive! I’m afraid there won’t even be a body collector!”
Lian Yan frowned: "If there is no evidence, you can just talk about it. If you want me to believe that Ouyang Lu colluded with bandits, you have to come up with some decent evidence. You just have to talk about it and say something. Convicting Ouyang Lu directly would be too childish!"
"What evidence do you want!" Qin Yun stood up angrily: "The 'Liangyin' you brought over is the best evidence! It is my mother's relic, but tell me, where did you come from?" Got it?"
"When did 'Liangyin' become your mother's relic?" Lian Yan was confused, and then recalled that Qin Jian knew the origin of "Liangyin" very well, so he looked at Qin Jian subconsciously: " That piano was indeed given to me by Ouyang Lu, but what does that prove?"
"The Qin was snatched by bandits here when I first arrived in Canglan with Yun'er." Qin Jian sighed: "After that, I searched all over Canglan, but there was no trace, but I didn't expect It will be in Ouyang Lu's hands."
"You mean that Ouyang Lu stole your qin?" Lian Yan snorted coldly: "It's a joke! It's just a qin. Does the qin found in Ouyang Lu's hands mean that Ouyang Lu took it away? Qin Da You still have to be responsible for what you say!"
Lian Yan's attitude is very tough, leaving Qin Jian with almost nothing to say. No matter what he says, Lian Yan can always find a rebuttal quickly. She has her own thoughts and cognitions, and will not be taken away by Qin Jian's thoughts. Even if the seeds of doubt had indeed been planted in her heart at this moment, she would not show it in front of Qin Jian.
"If the boss has nothing else to do, then Zijin will go down the mountain first." Lian Yan cupped his hands at Qin Jian, she already knew about what she should know, and the rest, no matter how gaudy Qin Jian said, After all, she won't believe it easily, and staying any longer is just a waste of time.
Qin Jian can also see that Lian Yan is not someone who can easily talk, and it is impossible to convince her without definite evidence, so she sighed and said: "You have to keep in mind what you said today, yes Ouyang Lu is also careful, don't trust him. Yun'er, go see off Master Lian."
Qin Yun was not very happy when she heard it, but seeing Qin Jian's insistence, she stood up and said dryly to Lian Yan: "Master Lian please."
Lian Yan watched the young miss's temper, shook her head and followed her.This young lady really doesn't know how to hide what's on her mind, obviously they are the ones asking her now, but this young lady is very rude, she can't even say a nice soft word, it seems that she still owes a lesson.
Qin Yun led Lian Yan out along the way, kicking small stones as she walked, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What kind of general master, I will have a name in a while, and I don't know what to call it. I really think I am a changeable girl She's a hero." The Variety Heroine is the character in the drama when she went down to the mountain to listen to the drama before, her identity changes, and she likes to act chivalrously and fight for the people.
Looking at Qin Yun who was staggering in front, Lian Yan couldn't help asking: "What are you mumbling about?"
"I'm scolding you, what's the matter?" Qin Yun turned her face and stared at her: "You are so stupid, why don't you let me scold you? Just scold you, idiot!"
Even the blue veins on Yan's forehead twitched, but she couldn't hold it back for a long time. She supported her forehead and grabbed Qin Yun's arm: "Little girl is overwhelmed, but she can be brave. Your father is like that." Taught you?"
Qin Yun couldn't struggle, and wanted to bite her again, but Lian Yan had noticed it a long time ago, grabbed Qin Yun's chin with one hand, shook his head and said: "After all, I have also become your wife, so I will teach you. One trick does not need two tricks." time, remember?"
Seeing Qin Yun's dissatisfied face, still whimpering and murmuring indistinctly, Lian Yan said helplessly: "Do you know what stupidity is? It's you, my eldest lady. Your father He led me up the mountain with a jade pendant, and first told me that we had a marriage contract, but before I could react, he told me that Ouyang Lu was in collusion with bandits. The situation directly determines the matter of life and death! How do you want me to believe him based on his one-sided words, a piano and a jade pendant that can't even talk? Qin Yun, I'm not you. killed me, you know?"
Qin Yun, who was restrained by Lian Yan, looked at the expression in Lian Yan's eyes, which was serious and serious, completely different from the Mrs. Lian she had seen before. The eyes before were gentle, carrying the warmth of winter. Yang-like feeling, but now Lian Zijin is more like a sharp sword with a hidden edge, and those eyes are like eagles, capable of tearing prey to pieces at any time!
Like a ghost, Qin Yun stopped struggling, and blinked at Lian Yan, expressing that she understood, Lian Yan was just feeling surprised, and suddenly heard an exclamation from behind accompanied by a crisp sound: "You, you let go Miss, I'm going to call someone!"
Turning her face to look, Qin Yun's silly maid, Hua'er, was nervous, with a broken bowl under her feet, for fear that she would do something wrong to Qin Yun.Lian Yan was about to let go of Qin Yun when she felt a throbbing pain in her calf. It turned out that the girl Qin Yun kicked her calf fiercely while she was turning around, and then pushed her away. He said triumphantly: "The master taught me that the same trick cannot be used twice. How about it, is Yun'er a fast learner?"
Lian Yan endured the pain and rubbed his calf, and still nodded appreciatively at Qin Yun: "Yes, I'm a fast learner. I'm quite enlightened, and I'm very satisfied as a teacher."
It's just that when she bent down, her gaze skipped Hua'er's feet, her face changed immediately, and she didn't care about the pain in her leg, she strode towards Hua'er, when Hua'er saw her coming, her memory was still there When Wan Lianyan used a dagger to force her young lady, his face turned pale with fright, he turned his face and ran with the tray in his arms, and he didn't forget to call Qin Yun while running.
Seeing her maidservant look so hopeless, Qin Yun couldn't help but sighed, seeing Lian Yan squatting where Hua'er had just stood, Qin Yun walked over curiously, looked condescendingly for a while. Seeing the reason, I had no choice but to imitate Yan Yan and squat down.
"What are you looking at?" Hua'er accidentally spilled the medicine bowl on the ground: "It's just a bowl, if it breaks, it will break. Let's go, I'll take you down the mountain."
Lian Yan looked at it for a while before raising his head and asking, "Is this medicine given to Master Qin?"
Qin Yun didn't know why Lian Yan asked this question, so she could only nod her head: "Yes, I originally made the medicine, but my father refused to let me make it, so Hua'er did it. What's wrong?"
"This medicine is poisonous." Lian Yan looked solemn, pointed to the bluestone slab on the ground and said, "Look at the edge of the slate has begun to turn black, it's because the minerals in the slate have reacted with the poison in the medicine."
"Poisonous?" Qin Yun didn't believe it: "Did you read it wrong? The stone slabs on the ground are exposed to the wind and sun, so it's normal for the color to change?"
"Normal color changes are not like this." Lian Yan pulled out a silver hairpin from Qin Yun's hair, and passed it through the remaining medicine residue on the ground. Sure enough, the tail of the silver hairpin had turned black. Lian Yan Seriously said: "Someone is going to poison|harm Master Qin, I'm afraid there may be a traitor in your cottage!"
Watching the silver hairpin turn black, Qin Yun's expression changed, and she staggered when she stood up, Lian Yan silently reached out to support her: "How long have you been drinking this medicine?"
No wonder when she saw Qin Jian, she felt that the sickness on his face was a bit abnormal. It was only half a month since she first saw Qin Jian, and it was impossible for an ordinary illness to detoxify a person's body in such a short period of time. Cannibalize to such an extent, but if someone poisons|poisons, then the situation will be different!
"I don't know." Qin Yun's face was not very good: "My father has been taking medicine since he was sick, but my father has been sick for several years, and he gets sick and coughs almost every winter, but this year's situation is worse than previous years a little."
"Hua'er." Lian Yan called Hua'er who was trembling beside him: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Hua'er's hand holding the tray was trembling: "I don't know, I'm just decocting medicine, I don't know why there is | poison in the medicine." She ran two steps just now, and found that even the master didn't want to arrest her , just silently stood aside, and when he saw the silver hairpin turn black, his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Qin Yun ignorantly leaned on Lian Yan, grabbed Lian Yan's sleeve as if it was her own, and repeated softly: "It can't be Hua'er, she treats my father as her own relative, she is timid, you Don't scare her."
Lian Yan looked at the eldest lady, she still didn't say some things, this is not a place to talk, so she dragged Qin Yun directly to her small building.Her world is only in a place as big as Jacui Mountain, and she doesn't understand the darkness outside. She recognizes that she is her own person, and she feels that this person is also her own person, and she will not betray her, but she has never After thinking about it, the human heart is not that simple.
In the small building, Lian Yan placed Qin Yun on the soft bed on one side, poured her a cup of hot tea to ease her emotions, closed the upstairs windows tightly, and began to question Hua'er.
"It's not me." Hua'er cried: "The head of the family picked me up and let me read and read with the eldest lady. It's a kindness to Hua'er. I'm not the kind of ungrateful person."
"I didn't say it was you." Looking at the weeping flowers, Lian Yan couldn't help scolding: "I ask you, did you ever leave the stove when you were boiling the medicine?"
"Yes." Hua'er sniffed and nodded: "I just add the medicine to the water and bring it to a boil, then turn it to a low heat and cook it slowly, then go to help the aunt pick vegetables, and the medicine will be almost done when I come back." .”
"Every time?" Lian Yan frowned.
"Every time." Hua'er choked, "The timing is just right, and it doesn't delay things."
"There are so many people in Zicui Mountain, and there is no guarantee that this medicine will make people tamper with it at any time." Lian Yan sighed, and said to Qin Yun: "Don't say anything about it, Master Qin's medicine has also been temporarily stopped. Hua'er boils the medicine according to your old habit, you must leave for a while in the middle, pretending that nothing happened, you know?"
Qin Yun bit her lip and said bitterly: "I know, you can't scare the snake!" The fingertips were pinched into the flesh, and the pain made her more awake. It turned out that it was not a serious illness at all, but someone deliberately poisoned her father!
Lian Yan was still worried after a few words of advice, and asked Hua'er to stay outside the door before saying to Qin Yun, "Calm down, this matter is not that simple."
"I know, when I catch that traitor, I will definitely chop him up!" Qin Yun punched the table heavily, and the tea in the cup was splashed out, wet the delicate tablecloth: " If you dare to assassinate my father, I will let him taste the fate of betraying my father!"
Seeing Qin Yun who was so excited, Lian Yan was glad that he stayed, grabbed Qin Yun's hand to calm her down, and then said: "You can't be so excited, you have to pretend that nothing happened, this matter No one can say anything about it, including Xia Qingshan. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You doubt me, Uncle Xia?" Qin Yun shook off Lian Yan's hand in disbelief: "Uncle Xia is absolutely impossible! Lian Zijin, if you don't understand us, don't talk nonsense. Uncle Xia is sincere to my father, absolutely I won’t play|poison my father!”
"Qin Yun!" Lian Yan scolded in a low voice: "Calm down. I doubt everyone on your mountain! Qin Jian is the head of the family and the actual person in charge of Jicui Mountain. If he dies, the biggest beneficiary Who is it? It's Xia Qingshan, your second boss! I'm just guessing reasonably, I want you to be vigilant, for you and for Qin Jian, don't forget, Qin Jian is still lying on the hospital bed, do you think he How long can it last? Not only the poisoning this time, but also the last time Miss Guan's body was found by Ouyang Lu, I'm afraid it was intentional. Otherwise, the corpse is in the back of your mountain, how could it be so easy for Ouyang Lu took it away? Don't forget that Miss Guan's body was also handled by Xia Qingshan alone!"
"Don't try to sow discord, I won't doubt Uncle Xia." Qin Yun turned her face away and ignored Lian Yan: "General Lian, please go, this is a matter of our cottage, so I won't send it away!"
Looking at the young lady who turned her face and refused to recognize anyone, even her teeth were itchy, she slapped the table, and even knocked over the tea on the table, and asked sarcastically: "Then who do you suspect? Who do you think?" ? Who do you think will poison the Qin family? Who will deliberately send news to Ouyang Lu? After careful consideration in your mind, do you not find a suitable candidate at all? Do you think that everyone Won't you betray Qin Jian? Betray Jicui Mountain?"
"So what? I'll know when I catch him." Qin Yun, not to be outdone, choked back at Chao Lianyan: "If you doubt Uncle Xia casually, it's slander! If you say something so grand, why don't you doubt it?" Where is that despicable and shameless villain Ouyang Lu? He also said that we are sowing discord. I think you are really trying to sow discord. My father is seriously ill. If you continue to sow discord between me and Uncle Xia, then we will cover it up. Cuishan will fall apart, and there is no need for people from your court to send troops to suppress any bandits, Lian Zijin, you mean and shameless villain!"
As she spoke, her eyes became red. Now that the imperial court is stationed at the foot of the mountain, they might be attacked at any time. Her father is still lying on the sickbed, and his health is getting worse day by day. There are also traitors in the mountain. Her father is going down|Poison might even inform those lackeys of the imperial court at the foot of the mountain. Now that Lian Zijin said that even Uncle Xia can't be trusted, who else can she trust?What should she do?
Seeing Qin Yun's red eyes, Lian Yan also knew that she might have been a little impulsive just now. This young lady is not emotionally stable now. If she breaks her small world and asks her to face the darkness of reality directly, she can't wait for a while. Absolutely couldn't accept it for a while, sat beside Qin Yun, rubbed her soft hair, and said: "Who told you that I don't doubt Ouyang Lu? I doubt Ouyang Lu, since I decided to reunite with Xia Qingshan When I came up to Bicui Mountain, I doubted him, otherwise, why didn't I go to Ouyang Lu and go to your Bicui Mountain instead? Otherwise, if I have something to say, just tell him no?"
Seeing Qin Yun blinking her innocent and ignorant eyes, Lian Yan continued: "Sometimes doubts don't have to be revealed. The situation is unclear. Although I suspect Ouyang Lu, I don't believe your father. In this Canglan, they say I don't believe every word of what you said, I only believe in my own judgment. So, you have to do the same now, do you understand?"
"Only believe in my own judgment?" Qin Yun said hoarsely: "But I have no judgment, I can't doubt Uncle Xia, I can't doubt everyone on the mountain, they are all my relatives."
"But these relatives you thought are going to kill your father and you now." Lian Yan forced Qin Yun to say: "If you don't face this reality, it's not just as simple as poisoning, you don't want the whole The Bicuishan family was ruined, right?"
Seeing that Qin Yun was silent, Lian Yan continued: "Little girl, our position is the same now. So, you have to be vigilant, and according to what I told you, no one will be allowed to come to you until the truth is known. Believe it, only trust your own judgment, if you don’t have a judgment, then you wait for me, I will help you find the murderer.”
Qin Yun raised her head and looked at Lian Yan. She has a pretty face, and the words she speaks are indeed convincing. When those eyes stare at you seriously, they look like a huge whirlpool, which will make people sink unconsciously in it. , Qin Yun subconsciously withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and said, "You said, don't believe anyone, so should I also doubt what you said?"
Hearing what Qin Yun said, Lian Yan laughed. Although this girl is simple, her mind is quite flexible. She nodded: "If you have your own judgment, you don't have to trust me, just trust your own judgment."
"But, I believe you." Qin Yun looked up at Lian Yan and said seriously: "Master Lian, you have taught me another lesson. You are my master, so I believe you."
After finishing speaking, he added a sentence belatedly: "That Ouyang Lu is really not a good person. He really took money from other cottages. This is what Wang Daya told me. Wang Daya is the owner of the next cottage. Ouyang Lu's people are under house arrest. If you can find Wang Daya, you can prove that what my father said is true. He didn't lie to you, and he didn't try to sow discord. He really wanted to please you. You save Cuishan this time."
"Okay, I'll go to that Wang Daya to verify the facts." Lian Yan nodded, seeing that Qin Yun's expression was still in a daze, he teased her and said, "Why don't you ask me why I believe you?"
"Why?" Qin Yun asked back as expected.
"Because..." Lian Yan dangled the half jade pendant that he did not know when he took it out of his arms, and leaned in front of Qin Yun and said triumphantly: "Because you are the little daughter-in-law promised to our Lian family. It’s okay to have a letter.”
"Who promised to give it to your family, Lian Zijin, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yun was so ashamed that she pushed Lian Yan away: "Stay away from me!"
Lian Yan stood up following her strength, hung the jade pendant on her waist calmly, and said: "I still have something to do, I have to go down the mountain first, and I will keep all the words I told you in my heart. When I deal with the matter down the mountain, Come up to find you again, take care of yourself, stay vigilant, you know?"
Qin Yun nodded, watched as Lian Yan opened the window and jumped out, quickly disappeared from her sight, touched the half jade pendant hidden in her bosom with one hand, bit her lips lightly, and said what Lian Yan had just said Go through it in your mind.Lian Zijin and her were supposed to be two different opposites, but they unexpectedly stood on the same side. Ouyang Lu, the traitor who poisoned her father, was the common enemy of her and Lian Zijin, Qin Yun Suddenly, I felt that Lian Zijin was not so annoying anymore.
She is indeed excellent, has her own ideas, and will not be taken away by some outside voices from her original rhythm. It is this unique characteristic of her that gives Qin Yun the feeling of being the backbone, making her uncomfortable. No matter how frightened she was, holding the half jade pendant in her palm, Qin Yun felt that the jade in her palm seemed to give her strength, enough to support her to find the traitor and prop up the Jicui Mountain!
Lian Yan followed the trail all the way down the mountain, but when he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard the sound of the suona trumpet blowing and beating. He was blowing and blowing at the Jacui Mountain, followed by a little maid, all in filial attire, holding a memorial tablet in her hand, following behind the band. This was clearly a funeral procession, but why was the funeral sent to Jicui Mountain?
Lian Yan observed in the dark for a while, and found that although the team was for a funeral, the coffin was not in the team. They must have gone to the burial place first, and only this team was left here to sing the mourning music. It's just deliberately trying to find bad luck for Zhecui Mountain!
If it was before, Lian Yan wouldn't mind this kind of nosy business, but she just came down from the mountain, and the scene on the Bicui Mountain was much more difficult than she thought. With Qin Yun's red eyes, she couldn't help it with little effort. no help.
The soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain did not expect General Lian to come over, so they rushed forward to say hello: "Why did the general come here today? Everything is normal. The subordinates are closely monitoring every move on the mountain, and the people in the mountain have not acted rashly. I don't know if the general has any information." What order?"
Lian Yan looked at the soldiers with blood on their faces, remembering that Xia Qingshan led her past their defense calmly, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Nodding his head, he said: "You all have worked hard and have nothing to do. Come and see the scene on the mountain. Be sure to keep a tight guard. No one in the mountain can let go of the mountain, you know?"
The soldier nodded again and again: "General, don't worry."
"Also, what is Chuichuidada doing over there?" Lian Yan frowned displeased: "Don't you know we're stationed here? Disturbing the morale of the army."
The soldier hurriedly said: "Isn't that Miss Guan family dead? Today's funeral was arranged by Master Guan."
"If there is a grievance, the court will decide for them. What's the use of guarding a mountain and playing some mourning music?" Lian Yan said in a deep voice: "Let them all withdraw, don't surround here, and delay the business."
"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.
Lian Yan looked at the mourning team with his hands behind his back, he seemed unwilling but couldn't bear the official's order, so he had no choice but to pack up his things and leave dejectedly.This is the first time she has used the privileges of her status to do such a thing. It was for the wronged eyes of someone in a border town. She felt a little ridiculous, but she couldn't laugh. As she walked farther, Lian Yan felt that a certain fetter in her heart seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. She couldn't control it, and she didn't want to control it.
After returning to the station, Lian Yan changed her clothes and went straight to Ouyang Lu's yamen non-stop. She wanted to get Miss Guan's complete autopsy records, and if Ouyang Lu didn't give it to her, she could only look for it secretly.The few people who were guarding the gate of the yamen in Zhizhou Mansion came down several times, and they even knew Yan. They greeted casually, and found out that Ouyang Lu was not in the yamen at the moment.
It would be even easier to find Wu to make an autopsy report.
After folding those pages and putting them in his arms, Lian Yan didn't leave in a hurry.Instead, he headed towards Ouyang Lu's inner house. The backyard of Zhizhou Yamen is Ouyang Lu's inner house, which is convenient for state officials to work on the spot, and it is also convenient for Lian Yan to find Ouyang Lu's bedroom easily.
Lian Yan punctured the screen window, and after confirming that there was no one inside, opened the door and entered Ouyang Lu's bedroom. Looking around, there were no other decorations except for a few copied calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Similar to Ouyang Lu's impression, he is diligent, thrifty and noble, and puts on a good air.It's just that what's going on inside is probably unknown!
Opening the slightly dilapidated wardrobe, except for a few court clothes, it was Ouyang Lu's daily clothes, which were all very common fabrics on the street, and there was no difference except old and new.Ouyang Lu has always been a thrifty person, and she was not surprised to see these inkstones. She flipped through them casually, thinking that she would find nothing, but in a corner of the closet, she saw a very delicate wooden box, although it was locked. , but it is not locked. It seems that Ouyang Lu is quite confident, thinking that no one will look through his closet except himself, or it may just happen to forget to lock it.
In short, no matter what the reason was, Lian Yan easily opened the wooden box.There is also an exquisite small box inside the wooden box, Lian Yan noticed it, but her attention was more on the neatly stacked inner clothes in the wooden box!
Different from the simple and visible outer shirts hanging in the closet, Lian Yan casually turned the inner clothes from top to bottom, each piece was well-made, and the fabrics used were also precious and elegant, except for the clothes she knew In addition to Su Jin and Luo Jin, there are also some materials that Lian Yan has never seen before. They are silky and delicate. Not to mention a mere fifth-rank local magistrate, even the dignitaries in Kyoto have to weigh some materials!
This Ouyang Lu is really hiding something!
However, there is no source of the half of Su Jin in her hand in the wooden box. Although there are similarities, it cannot be justified
