Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 235 It’s a pity that slaves can’t sit in that position

When we returned to the street of Lin Mansion, it was sunset.

Lin Daiyu looked at the sky and lifted the curtain: "Go and ask the prefect if he is at the yamen. If not, I will go to his house."

Chu Qian agreed and left.

After a while, he came back to report: "Master Wei has gone home. Otherwise, I will deliver this thing to you. Princess, please don't go."

"Do you know what to say?" Lin Daiyu looked at him straight.

Chu Qi paused, blinked, and nodded: "You should know."

"Then what are you going to say?" Daiyu was a little worried.

Chu Qian blinked again: "Princess, tell him to check it thoroughly. Once it's done, it will be fine."

so……?!

sharp!!!

Daiyu was shocked! Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she was speechless for a long time!

Aunt Meng looked at her, chuckled, pulled the curtain out of her hand and put it down, whispering:

"You came out of the palace and you are no match for him when it comes to talking nonsense like this, Princess~~!"

Qingwen, who was standing beside him, repeated the words one by one on her fingers. Finally, she wiped her sweat off her forehead, feeling terrified:

"I just realized today that Chu Neiguan's greatest strength is not his martial arts, but his ability to deceive people!"

Sure enough, when Chu Qian said this expressionlessly but meaningfully, and "kindly" reminded him, "This is a serious matter, the physical evidence cannot be lost," and then left in a resounding voice, Wei Jun was almost in tears!

What do you mean by "just check it out"? ! ! ?

What kind of words are these!?

Do people who come from the palace speak like this?

Isn't it said that there are courses teaching literature in the palace? Only the palace maids learn it, but the eunuchs don't? !

Guan Sheng, who was discussing with him the sacrificial text to be read at the Lin family sacrifice the next day, slowly walked out of the room and smiled bitterly:

"Dong Weng, don't you understand? This doesn't mean that once the case is investigated, it will be fine!

"This is saying: If you don't investigate this case carefully and don't find a result, you will never get well!"

Of course, this interpretation was something Daiyu had never expected.

In one day, she actually climbed back and forth between the Upper and Lower Panxiang Temple, went to Miaoyu's old house, and brought back a key piece of evidence that could reopen the case of Miaoyu's family massacre!

Daiyu felt that she had been running for her life all day!

I walked in, took a shower, ate a bowl of porridge, and fell asleep.

Aunt Meng, Qingwen, and Xiao Hongxueyan were all so excited that they couldn't sleep. Seeing that it was past midnight, they coaxed Zijuan to keep watch, and the four of them quietly pulled each other and slipped out to stroll in the garden.

"What do you think? When will the Suzhou prefect's case be retried?" Qingwen was curious.

Aunt Meng frowned and counted on her fingers: "I have to look up case files, check evidence, find the old people from that time, and calculate what happened six or seven years ago. How can it be so smooth?"

"I guess, before the young lady leaves!" Xueyan laughed, "This prefect is very knowledgeable and sensible. He must let the young lady see that the case is reopened before he leaves!"

All three of them looked at Xiaohong.

Xiao Hong was also calculating, and then looked at the sky, and then said: "I think it will be about one or two days after the Lin family's ancestor worship."

The three of them opened their eyes wide: "So fast?! Why?!"

Xiao Hong smiled and said, "That case was done by the girl's teacher when he was in Gusu;

"The case of the Xue family snatching Xiangling was judged by the girl's teacher when he was in Jinling;

"Xiangling lives next door to the Hulu Temple that Jingbo said we were going to visit tomorrow.

"When Jing Bo returns from the Hulu Temple tomorrow, who knows what news he will bring back?

“If we can get one or two more pieces of information, this case can start from that teacher and go all the way to Miaogu’s family.

"I guess that the Suzhou prefect would not dare to touch this case at all - but the girl stood here and watched, and would not allow him to not take action.

"Or we can quickly interrogate him. It would be best if we can get all the information we need before the girl leaves. Then I can write a secret letter and ask the girl to take it to the capital.

"That way, even if the case has other twists and turns in the end, at least he has done the lady a favor; and he will also be seen as diligent in front of His Majesty.

“The twists and turns that occurred again are definitely not something he can control, and neither your majesty nor the young lady will blame him.

"As for other criticisms, after the girl leaves, he can just put the blame on the girl in any way he wants, thus clearing himself of all charges!

"Anyway, if I were him, I would not eat or sleep, and I would solve this case before the girl leaves!"

Xiaohong talked for half an incense stick of time in one breath, and the three of them were dumbfounded.

Aunt Meng blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, and reached out to touch Xiaohong’s forehead: “Good child, you were born too late!

"If she had entered the palace ten years earlier and become the empress of that idiot from the Jia family, the Rong and Ning families would have been real foreign relatives by now!"

What this means is that Xiaohong's brain is better than that of Concubine Jia, and even better than that of the Queen!

Xiao Hong's face suddenly became hot, and she quickly pushed Aunt Meng's hand away, saying angrily: "Aunt had a drink with dinner, and she is making fun of me again!"

Qingwen was envious and jealous. She bit her lip and looked at Xiaohong for a while, but finally she gave up and said, "Forget it. You are just smarter than me in this kind of thing. I admit it."

"Then the ranking of the four of us is Sister Zijuan, Sister Qingwen, Xueyan and me." Xiaohong smiled prettily and pulled Qingwen's sleeve and shook it.

Qingwen spat, "Who cares!" Then she sneered.

The four of them walked back laughing.

They finally left. Jia Yun and Ni Er came out of the bushes with sweat all over their foreheads. They wiped their sweat and said:

"Why are these guys out here in the middle of the night?! It's so scary!"

Ni Er looked at the four people from a distance, exclaimed in admiration, and patted Jia Yun on the shoulder:

"Second Master, the other day, Eunuch Chu taught me a saying. Today, I thought about it and decided to give it to you!"

"Hmm?" Jia Yun raised his eyebrows.

"The road ahead is long and arduous. It will take you several more years to find your way forward!" Ni Er looked at him sympathetically.

Jia Yun's face flushed, but he was also proud. He chuckled and said, "As long as the road is mine, that's all that matters!"

the next day.

Lin Jing just came back from his rest in the morning. He came in and planned to say hello to Daiyu before heading to Hulu Temple.

Daiyu heard this and told Chu Kua, "You go with Jing Bo. You have sharp eyes, so you can see the people in the Hulu Temple more clearly."

Chu Qian finally found the place where he could make use of his strengths. He was very happy and had never agreed so loudly before. He walked out proudly.

The two of them had lunch and had not returned until almost 3 p.m. Daiyu felt a little restless.

Aunt Meng invited her to drink tea and chat, and then she told Daiyu about Xiaohong's speculation last night, and sighed, "Such a good head is wasted by you."

Daiyu was just marveling at Yu Xiaohong's cleverness and insight. When she heard this, she almost choked on her snack and quickly drank two cups of tea before she could calm down.

Yin snorted, "With this head, even if it's not placed by my side, you will never enter the palace!

"She is the one who knows that it is not a good place for good people to go! And slaves cannot sit... in that position!"
