Weicheng snow

Because it really existed, Yi Qingchen naturally believed what Huiye said, but Huiye himself didn't want to bring up the so-called past. When Yi Qingchen wanted to ask in detail, Huiye insisted that what he just said was nothing It is the content of the drama that I have imagined randomly, and I can't count it.

Huiye's actions were like a fishbone stuck in Yi Qingchen's throat, which made him feel uncomfortable but he couldn't vomit it out, so he gave up asking about the Xianjia topic, and asked about the doubts about other people in the troupe, "Wu Does the steward have so much money in his hand, does it have anything to do with your brother?"

Kaguya held the porcelain cup in both hands, took a sip of sake, and behaved as elegantly as described in the drama, "These are my brother, and the savings of the person who replaced my brother for 16 years, although I have never known the true identity of the person who replaced my brother , but I recognized his voice. Last night, he went back to the troupe and took away his things that belonged to him among his elder brother's belongings. I bumped into him. At that time, he was wearing a mask and a black robe. ...It really is the person who came to listen to my brother's song on the last day..."

Yi Qingchen heard it, shook his right hand, poured more than half of the wine in the glass, Hua Shenchi took a cloth and wiped it away, but remained silent.

Huiye didn't care how Yi Qingchen and the others would react, she just calmly narrated what she knew, and it didn't seem like she was simply providing evidence, but more like confiding, "I know his identity is definitely not ordinary. In the past 16 years, he has often disappeared for no reason, leaving the troupe to do other things, but always coming back before the opening of the opera... He did not take the money, saying that he kept some of the money according to his brother's wishes. Give it to me and Mao Mao, leave some to the people in the troupe...the rest, let us handle it..."

"In the end, it doesn't matter who he is..." Hui Ye drank the wine in the glass, leaving only a sip, and sprinkled it on the ground as a memorial, "The thing he took away was a bead. When I was leaving, I was bumped into by Mao Mao, and Mao Mao insisted that he was the elder brother, thinking that the elder brother was not dead, so I chased him all the way out... That's why I was caught and rescued by you on the street..."

The wine was drained, the cups were put back on the table, got up and straightened the clothes, turned around and left, before leaving, Hui Ye said something, "Brother is a willful person, and the person you want to arrest is also... He set the fire on behalf of his elder brother, and it was not what he wanted to bring the whole Jiangling down. As for why the man left the word 'Jiang Zhige' in the fire to invite you to come..."

"Could it be because of missing..."

Even though the dinner was over for a long time, no one enjoyed the food on the table, most of the guests in the inn scattered in a hurry, and Xiaoer came forward several times to check if the food on Yi Qingchen's table had been eaten, very upset Wanting to clean up as soon as possible, Yi Qingchen held his head and thought about the case for a long time, until Xiaoer approached this table for the eighth time, his urging eyes were too direct, Yi Qingchen said to Xiaoer, "Pack it up and send it upstairs , clear the table first."

On the way back upstairs, Hua Shenchi asked Yi Qingchen, "Are you thinking about how to explain the case to the government?"

Yi Qingchen shook his head, but nodded again after realizing it, "This is one aspect. Although I believed Kaguya's statement, the government would not believe it. But the ghost-faced gentleman wanted to write the word "Jiang Zhige" in the fire, and brought the crime directly on himself. Everyone in the world knows that the ghost-faced gentleman is surly and cruel, and he kills people based on his mood. I intend to explain it to him, but no one will believe me."

When Yi Qingchen said this, he passed by Jiang Zhige's room, and the door was opened from inside the room. Jiang Zhige was leaning on the door frame, looking at Yi Qingchen with a sneer on his face, and sarcastically said, "As heinous as he is, My dear, what is the difference between one more crime and one less crime? After all, it is the end of eternal doom, why do you need to explain it for him? If you have this kind of spare time, it is important to think about how to get the shark pearl back. "

Yi Qingchen stared into Jiang Zhige's eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Jiang, didn't you always value the fairness of the case the most? Could it be that you want to have an affair just because the other party is a ghost-faced gentleman?"

Jiang Zhige sneered, and scoffed, "A person whose death is not worthy of pity, who is not even a human being, why should he be convicted by human rules?" Yi Qingchen stopped talking, he felt that Jiang Zhige was facing When it comes to the case related to Mr. Ghost Face, Chang Lun is no longer in his mind.

Just at this time Xiao Er brought the packaged meals upstairs, Yi Qingchen left two dishes for Jiang Zhige, and went back to the room with Xiao Er and Hua Shenchi.

After Xiaoer left, Yi Qingchen looked at the pile of food in front of him without any appetite, leaned on the table and mourned, "I really shouldn't meddle in Brother Jiang's affairs. Seeing his attitude, if the ghost face When Lang Jun picks it up, I'm afraid he will be hacked to death..." Hua Shenchi sat aside and said calmly, "Then don't pick it up for now."

Listening to Hua Shenchi's understated answer, Yi Qingchen felt hasty and helpless. He really had no position to interfere with Jiang Zhige and the ghost-faced gentleman. Instead of wasting time on these matters, he should think more about it. How to get back the Shark Pearl and prove my innocence.As for how to prove it, it is very particular.

In the eyes of the royal family, Zhao Yu is from the eldest princess's side, so her testimony is questionable and cannot be trusted. Out of safety, the royal family will definitely send a more notarized person to come forward. This person may have arrived in Jiangling and is currently Observing his every move in the dark, if this is the case, he must be careful in all actions related to Shark Pearl in the future.

In the eyes of people in Jianghu, the ghost-faced gentleman is one of the current bandit leaders, and Yi Baixue is the last bandit leader. There must be a relationship between the two who are constantly cutting and chaotic. There are even even more outrageous rumors that the two are masters and apprentices .Therefore, if it only proves that the shark beads are in the hands of the ghost-faced lord, it cannot prove that Yi Baixue is innocent. After the beads were handed over to Mr. Ghost Face for temporary storage.

After all, you don't have to take any responsibility for saying these words, you can say whatever you want.

If Yi Baixue wants to prove himself, he can only prove to the person sent by the royal family to monitor that he has nothing to do with the Ghost-Masked Lord, and it is even better to help the royal family get back the Shark Pearl on this basis.

In this way, the question comes back to how to deal with the Ghost Faced Lord.

When Yi Qingchen came to this conclusion, he couldn't help feeling a little swollen in his brain. He raised his eyes to see Hua Shenchi who was taking out a can of cool ointment from his sleeve, and asked, "When you were checking Mr. Found traces of shark beads on his body?" Hua Shenchi poked his index finger and middle finger into the pot, dug out some cooling ointment and applied it to Yi Qingchen's temples, hearing this, he shook his head, "No."

The cool ointment penetrated into the brain along the acupoints, and the faint fragrance smelled very pleasant. Yi Qingchen felt that his head did not hurt as much as before, so his mood was much better than before, and he leaned over Went to get the ointment jar in Hua Chenchi's hand, "What is this made of, it smells so good." Hearing this, Hua Shenchi coughed lightly, not wanting to hand this over to Yi Qingchen, "It's just an ordinary cooling ointment. "

Yi Qingchen vaguely felt that Hua Shenchi seemed to be hiding something, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the pattern on the grease jar was very familiar, as if he had seen it often a long time ago.So I wanted to grab it to see what happened, and said while grabbing, "I think this can is very familiar...Did you always carry it with you before?"

Hearing what Yi Qingchen said, Hua Shenchi was even more unwilling to hand it over to Yi Qingchen, put the lid on and put it in the lapel.Yi Qingchen relentlessly wanted to snatch it, Hua Shenchi brushed Yi Qingchen's hands that were groping around his chest, and Yi Qingchen took advantage of the situation to clasp Hua Shenchi's wrist, imprisoning the latter's movements.

Therefore, when the door of the room was pushed open by Chaoyu from the outside, what I saw was Hua Shenchi sitting on the low stool, with his hands raised high, being firmly pinned on his head by Yi Qingchen, who was holding his face Looking at Hua Chenchi proudly, one hand was still inserted into Hua Shenchi's skirt.

Yi Qingchen stared at Zhaoyu in astonishment for a moment, and Zhaoyu reacted belatedly, and moved his front foot out of the door, "Sorry, I entered the wrong door."

Yi Qingchen hastily let go of the hands that were holding Hua Shenchi, rushed out the door to grab Zhaoyu's sleeve, and said, "Miss Zhaoyu, things are really not what you think." Zhaoyu looked up and down with a complex expression. Picking up her clothes and lightly dusting herself, she murmured, "I didn't expect that you usually look so weak, but in that respect you are very vigorous. So you are the one above?"

Yi Qingchen opened his mouth when he heard the words, and wanted to explain, but found that the more he explained, the more chaotic it became.

Confused for a while, he simply ignored it, and hurriedly talked about Zhao Yu's business, trying to dilute the shame in his heart, "You just came back from the yamen? What did you gain?" Zhao Yu waved his hand, "Not at all, this The detectives on the side are too blunt, watching them do things is almost pissed off, staying for a second is torture, and there is no progress in the case, so I came back first."

Yi Qingchen thought for a moment when he heard the words, led Zhao Yu back to the room and sat down, and talked to her about his hypothesis about self-proving innocence, but did not talk about the stories that Hui Ye told.

After listening to Zhao Yu, he felt that it was reasonable, and provided Yi Qingchen with a clue, "If His Majesty really used the method you said, the people who were sent to monitor us should be members of the Yue family. People in China are especially good at hiding and lurking, if they don't want to show up, no one can find them out, no matter how many crooked ways you think, it's useless, obediently proving yourself is the best policy."

In this way, the problem returned to the shark bead and the ghost-faced gentleman.

But Hui Ye said earlier that the ghost-faced man took the shark beads from the troupe last night, and when Hua Shenchi checked just now, he did not find any traces of the shark beads from the ghost-faced man. During the time when Outfield Village was in a coma, Mr. Ghost Face had been to certain places, or met certain people, and hid the shark beads.

If I can investigate the path of the shark bead being stolen and the people who handled it, can I prove from the side that I didn't steal it?

Having made up his mind, Yi Qingchen didn't hesitate any longer, and told Zhao Yu about his plan, and Zhao Yu felt that it was feasible, "So how are you going to investigate next? Do you want to wake up the ghost-faced gentleman and ask him directly? "

Yi Qingchen had this intention, but Zhao Yu couldn't help lifting Yi Qingchen up and pouring a basin of cold water, "I don't think he will explain it obediently." Yi Qingchen naturally knew this very well, and the key to the problem at hand It's not whether he will tell the truth, but whether Hua Shenchi can rescue the Ghost Faced Lord, this is the biggest unknown.

Hua Shenchi did not give a guarantee for this, because the magic technique is really beyond the reach of human beings. No matter how talented he is, what is the prince and prince in his previous life? Right now, he is just a person and can only be treated with normal medicine. As for whether he can solve this weird spell in the end, it can only depend on the good fortune of Mr. Ghost Face.

Yi Qingchen thought so, and didn't deliberately make things difficult for Hua Shenchi, but straightened up, and said to Zhao Yu, "Do you want to go to Nomura to see together? We are thinking about whether to bring the ghost-faced man back. "

Zhao Yu replied decisively, "Yes, it must be accepted. Even a prison may not be able to lock him up. How dare you leave him in a farmer's house? You are brave enough..."

Yi Qingchen explained, "You also know that Big Brother Jiang and the ghost-faced man are like fire and water. If he knows that we brought the ghost-faced man back for treatment, he will probably be able to fight us with a knife..."

Zhao Yu immediately understood the meaning of Yi Qingchen's words, "You want me to send Jiang Zhige to work in the Yamen?"

Yi Qingchen was concerned about Jiang Zhige's wound, and felt that he couldn't be too tired, so he retreated and said, "It's not necessary to go to the yamen, it's too busy there, Brother Jiang may not be able to hold on, It’s okay to let him go to other places to investigate the case, such as Wuling, Yong’an, Shangyong... Has Mr. Ghost Face appeared in these places too?”

Zhao Yu didn't have so many worries about Yi Qingchen, so he went straight to the next room, knocked on the door three times, but no one came to answer the door, so he kicked the door open, scaring Jiang Zhige who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a trance. Ji Ling, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Yu picked up the wooden door bolt that fell on the ground, put it back on the coffee table, and said to Jiang Zhige impatiently, "The yamen over there in Dongting has something to ask you!" Jiang Zhige asked doubtfully, "Dongting? They are looking for What am I going to do?" Zhao Yu said with a hand, "How do I know, I just called you over, I didn't say the specifics, maybe it's the ghost-faced gentleman who made trouble there again."

Jiang Zhige looked at Zhao Yu with a strange expression, hesitated to speak, and after a long while, he got up and put on his clothes, and started packing his luggage.

Yi Qingchen rushed over in a hurry, pretending to be shocked without knowing it, "Brother Jiang, where are you going?"

Jiang Zhige only spread out a piece of dark blue cloth on the table, opened the cabinet, took out the clothes and wrapped them inside, his movements were methodical, "Go to the Dongting, and it will take about three to five days to come back."

As soon as the words fell, a red cloth bag fell out of a stack of clothes in Jiang Zhige's arms and fell to the ground. A red string emerged from the cloth bag, which was similar to the one Jiang Zhige was originally wearing, but The pattern on the silver jewelry is slightly different.

Jiang Zhige lowered his head and stared at the red rope for a long time, so long that Yi Qingchen couldn't help asking, "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with the red rope?" He picked up the rope, wrapped it back in the red cloth, and stuffed it into the luggage together, "The silver ornaments on the red rope were made by Daddy when we were just born, and the red rope was also obtained from the monastery. .....the pattern on the silver ornaments is two dragons..."

Suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yi Qingchen and Zhao Yu, and asked a very inexplicable question, "Both of you should have seen his real face, do you think he looks like me?"

Being asked in this way, Yi Qingchen just recalled that when he was in the Pirates Association in Weicheng, he felt that although the two brothers Jiang Zhige and Jiang Jiuqu had similar facial features, their temperaments were very different. Qu looks very delicate, if he says he is not a brother, but his facial features are similar, if he says he is a brother, he always feels that something is wrong.

Yi Qingchen originally thought that the reason for this sense of disparity was that the two brothers had grown up and each had their own experiences and temperaments, but this time this matter was brought up by Jiang Zhige, the answer might not be so easy.

"Jiang Jiuqu, he shouldn't have come to the Jiang family."
