The Golden Hairpin

Chapter 73: Cardamom Shaohua (2)

Cui Chunzhan said, "Duke Yang, your painting and calligraphy skills are also good, with such a good vision."

"I was forced by my dad to study for two years." Huang Zixia said, maintaining the only professional attitude among the three, and asked, "Is the prince familiar with Wei Ximin?"

"Oh, do you mean the one who was condemned by the gods?" Wei Baoheng said casually, "I know, I follow the princess every day, she is short, and only Weinonuo bends over and bows like a dog every day. But there is an advantage, Master. He will bite whoever bites him, very obedient."

Hearing his disdain, Huang Zixia asked again: "It sounds like a capable and capable person?"

"It's capable, and it's so capable." Wei Baoheng sneered. "There's still something else a month ago. I guess you'll know it as soon as you inquire, so I'll just tell you about it now. That's it. If I hadn't run to the big yamen and suppressed it, the reputation of the princess and the princess mansion would be all over!"

Huang Zixian and Cui Chunzhan looked at each other, and Cui Chunzhan quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"This matter... It seems to have nothing to do with this case, and it seems to have something to do with this case-if it is not necessary, please don't tell it to the two of you. After all, this matter will damage the reputation of the princess mansion." Wei Baoheng said, again Frowning for a while, he said, "The candles in the house are always delivered by Lu's incense candle shop. Last month, old man Lu seemed to have something to do and asked his daughter to bring candles over, but the little girl at the small door didn't understand. Advancing and retreating in a proper manner, he didn't avoid the princess in time and stepped on her silk."

Cui Chunzhan said casually: "Why should the concubine care about this kind of trivial matter?"

"It was a trivial matter, because that Wei Ximin, but it became a big one. The princess ordered to teach the girl Wei Ximin, but this Wei Ximin, in order to make the princess happy, beat the girl to death, and just threw it on the corner of the street. As a result, there was a rascal in the backstreet. What is his name..." Wei Baoheng said uncertainly, "It seems that everyone is called Sun Laizi, an old bachelor in his forties, with sores on his back, and everyone hates it. When I saw that little girl was unconscious, I gave her to..."

Wei Baoheng looked sympathetic, Cui Chunzhan was stunned, only Huang Zixian frowned calmly and asked, "Lv's Fragrant Candle Shop?"

"Yes, it is said that the old man Lu has always despised his daughter. This incident caused a storm in the city. He felt that the family was ashamed and drove his daughter out of the house. I heard that the little girl has died in the wilderness now, alas..."

Huang Zixian frowned slightly and asked, "Where is that old man Lu?"

"Speaking of this, it's fortunate that I came across this timid old man Lu. I ran to the various yamen to suppress the matter, gave the Lu family a hundred taels of silver, and asked someone to beat the Sun Feizi, Lu The old man was so grateful that he was calm and didn't talk about it anymore."

Cui Chunzhan sighed: "This old man... is really timid and can't seek revenge? As far as I know, Wei Ximin seems to be burnt to death by a candle he made himself?"

Wei Baoheng put his hand down and said, "That's why it was said that it was God's Scourge. You pay for it, and finally Old Man Lu made the candle and burned Wei Ximin. Isn't this a good ending?"

Cui Chunzhan bitterly said, "If only the princess thought the same way."

Walking out of the princess mansion, Cui Chunzhan asked Huang Zixia, "Where is Daddy Yang going to go next?"

"I think Lu's Fragrant Candle Shop must go."

"Well, let's go together," he said.

Huang Zixian shook his head: "Cui Shaoqing, you are in an official uniform, and you have been spotted as soon as you passed. Why don't I go to explore the wind first, if he is really suspicious, he can be summoned directly to Dali Temple for interrogation."

"Very good, very good." Cui Chunzhan looked at the time and said quickly, "My wife said when I went out today that I will cook it myself. I have to go back to eat the dishes she cooked. Seeing this time..."

"Cui Shaoqing walk slowly." Huang Zixia watched his carriage go far, and then hurriedly hired a car—it’s pitiful. Fortunately, she still had the funds applied for in the last investigation before Li Shubai could be returned to Li Shubai, otherwise, How can she have the money to hire a car?

Going straight to Zhou Zi's Qin's house, he really stayed in his house to study his bones. After all, he is staying at home, so his clothes today are relatively low-key, with green lotus purple and goose yellow, the degree of blindness is not too high.

"Chonggu, come and come soon!" Zhou Ziqin said happily, pointing to the skull he put on the shelf, "Come and witness my greatest achievement so far!"

Huang Zixia sighed and said, "I came to you to discuss that..."

"Come here quickly!" He pulled up her sleeve, led her and walked inside. She staggered and followed him inside, and she was shocked when she saw a human head on the shelf at a glance.

"It looks like a real person, right? Hahaha, it's the same as the last time I recovered my hand, but my face has too many muscles and veins, and I can only get the first one now—hey, don't you think it seems...a bit familiar?"

Can you not be familiar with it? This look is a bit similar to the Queen and Queen. Huang Zixia thought in her heart.

"When I got this skull, I knew it was a beauty, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." Zhou Ziqin said, touching the skull.

Huang Zixia thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Where did you get this skull?"

"You bought it, I have been asking the person in charge of the burial of the unknown corpse in the household department to help me pay attention to it-shhh, this is not allowed by the law, you must not tell it-and one day, we are here The day before the headless corpse was picked up in the ditch, he quietly brought this to me, saying that someone had found it in the grass. Oh, it was ugly to get the blood and flesh, but after I removed the flesh and blood, I found out This head is really good, beautiful, isn't it?"

Huang Zixia took a bag next to him, wrapped the skull in a hand, and said, "Zhou Ziqin, I want to take this head away."

"Ah? Why?" He hurriedly asked.

"Don't ask." She put his almost recovered head into the bag again, and said, "I took it away. You will find someone else later."

"Hey, Chonggu, don't be so unfeeling... this is really the most beautiful skull I have ever seen in my life... I only have it in my heart, don't take it away..." Zhou Ziqin grabbed the bag and burst into tears. "Chonggu, you can’t do this to me! I thought about Wang Ruo’s case when I ran before and after you, and I fished the corpse and dug the pit for you. There was no credit and hard work, but how about you? I still don’t tell me that. The truth of the case! I know that the corpse in the Wang family's coffin is not Wang Ruo, but why did the Wang family still send it back to Langya for burial without a word? Also, who is the real culprit in that case? How did the murderer commit the crime? All in the dark! Chonggu, you are so cruel~ Anyway, I don’t mind anything else, you leave me my favorite skull! Please, or I’ll take me Can I change my head with you..."

Listening to his blood and tears, Huang Zixia finally sighed and whispered, "Zi Qin, this skull may be the daughter of an acquaintance of mine. She was separated from her daughter when she was very young and has never seen her. How it looks when you grow up. Please be considerate of a mother's heart and let her take it back and go into the soil for peace."

"Okay... OK." Zhou Ziqin hesitated for a long time, finally let go of the hand holding the bag reluctantly, and looked at her pitifully, "Then, Chonggu, I heard you are investigating the princess now You must take me with you this time! I want to investigate the case with you, and this time I will use my superb technique and amazing talent to get ahead of you to solve this mystery!"

"Okay, I'm actually looking for you for this." She motioned to him, "First of all, you tell me, the fish you got back last time, has it been tested? What is the result?"

Zhou Ziqin immediately sternly said: "Of course it has been checked! I am the most responsible work in this dynasty! Those fishes were poisoned!"

"What kind of poison? Where is the source?"

"I'm not sure yet, but it seems to be mercury poisoning." He grabbed his head a little uncertain and frowned. "It's strange, who would put mercury in the fish pond? This thing is not easy to carry, so put it in the fish pond. Why is it necessary?"

Huang Zixia frowned for a moment, and then said, "Remember, now you will find me a piece of clothing, and then we will go to Lu's Fragrant Candle Shop."

"Okay, Abi's body is about the same as you. I'll get one for you right away."

Huang Zixian transformed and became Zhou Ziqin's attendant.

The two found Lu's Fragrant Candle Shop in West Market. From a long distance, I saw the word "Lu" on the bright signboard.

Huang Zixian and Zhou Ziqin sat down in the small teahouse next to him. Of course, a local tyrant like Zhou Ziqin first called the best Zimeng, plus four kinds of candied fruit and eight dim sums, and gave generous rewards to the tea doctor who was waiting. The guests ignored them and concentrated on making tea in their private room.

"This crab eye bubble is really beautiful, look at it." Zhou Ziqin took Huang Zixian to visit the blisters in the furnace together, "Hey...the blisters are dense! Come, Chonggu, look, I saw a person's mouth last time The **** foam is just like this, exactly the same! Guess which part of his internal organs was injured?"

Huang Zixia bumped an elbow on his waist and successfully prevented the words below him.

After Dr. Tea made the tea, he brought it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "The son is so good-looking, he hits me at a glance. I have been a tea doctor for more than ten years, and no one can beat me in terms of craftsmanship in this teahouse."

Huang Zixia smiled and said, "It's been more than ten years. Have you seen the candle shop opposite? I heard that his family has made candles for four generations. That's an ancestral craft."

"That's really incomparable. Four generations of ancestors and grandchildren made candles for hundreds of years. Otherwise, how could the giant candles from Jianfu Temple come to his house this time?"

Zhou Ziqin blinked, but he still didn't understand what was going on, he obediently picked up a bowl of tea.

"But I heard that his family is only four generations old. Old man Lu has no sons!"

"No, there is only one daughter. His family is absolutely rooted--not to mention, that incident happened." When Dr. Cha talked about these street rumors, he was excited, "You two have heard of it? The old man kicked his daughter out of the house! Oh, even a daughter can't be so ruined, see who will support him when he grows old!"

Huang Zixia pretended to be very interested and asked, "You mean what happened to his daughter being caught by Sun Leizi?"

"Yeah, that Sun Lezi is really not a thing. He is ugly and sick. He couldn't find his wife in his forties. He saw her **** the roadside and ruined her-he did this kind of ugly thing. I also like to show off everywhere! Everyone knows the streets and alleys of the capital, this is to kill that girl!"

Zhou Ziqin didn't expect it to be such a hot inside story. The cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. He pointed to the candle shop opposite the window and asked, "That's the... that old man Lu?"

Huang Zixian asked calmly, "Why doesn't Old Man Lu go to the government to report and demand severe punishment for that Sun Leizi?"

"Don't mention it, or everyone scolded this old man Lu? After receiving a hundred taels of silver, I stopped talking. I thought my daughter was dirty, so I just swept her out!" He said, looking around and whispering. "We all saw it with our own eyes. The old man kicked his daughter out of the house, threw a knife and a twine in front of her, and asked her to choose her own way of death. Don’t lose his face, don’t die. at home!"
