It was hard to explain!
Zhang Xiaobai said seriously, "If I had a brain like yours, I would definitely write poems until I died. It would be so profitable!"
Earning money.
It was very profitable.
But Song Zhi, an honest man, did not earn money.
He curled his lips into a smile, seemingly unable to respond to Zhang Xiaobai's words.
The two of them fell into another period of silence!
After a while —
"Are you really not the murderer?" Zhang Xiaobai suddenly asked him very seriously.
Song Zhi said very sincerely, "No."
After a while, Song Zhi asked him again, "Then … are you the murderer?"
"Of course I'm not!" Zhang Xiaobai rubbed his slender hands. "The murderer tore off Wang Jun's flesh and dug out Boss Zhao's bones. It can be seen that he is an extremely unclean person. I wouldn't do such a disgusting thing and dirty my hands."
What he cared about the most was his hands!
When Song Zhi heard this, he looked down at his hands and flipped them back and forth several times.
Only then did he realize that his hands were actually very slender and good-looking.
He was a typical scholar's hand!
He muttered softly, "Actually … my hands are quite good-looking too."
After Zhang Xiaobai heard it with his ears open, he stretched his neck to look at Song Zhi's hands, but it was too dark to see them.
Then —
The two of them sat quietly again and stopped talking.
On the other side.
In the inn.
When Li Cheng came back yesterday, he slept until noon.
As soon as he got up, he ran to find his sister.
Li Wenshu had been reading in the room.
She had brought those books from the academy, and each of them was a collector's item.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Li Cheng sat down opposite her.
Li Wenshu said without raising her head, "What time is it?"
"I was too tired last night."
Li Wenshu glanced at him. "Last night? Where did you go last night? "
"I didn't go anywhere. I was just reading in the room."
Reading?
Li Wenshu's jaw almost dropped. She looked up at him and asked doubtfully, "Reading?"
Li Cheng nodded vigorously. "Yes! I read a lot. "
"I believe you if you said that you drank in the room all night."
She had the standard look of a sister despising her younger brother.
Li Cheng patted his chest and raised his chin. "Am I that unbearable? I really did stay in the house and read all night. "
"Then tell me, what books did you read?"
This …
It was indeed a little difficult for Li Cheng.
If he had to say the names of the wines, he would definitely not repeat them within an hour.
But when it came to books, it was simply asking for his life.
He pulled his lips into a smile and quickly poured a cup of tea. He gulped it down and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister has already eaten."
Li Wenshu was speechless. "Yes."
"Then I'll go down and eat something first."
He turned around and was about to leave.
Li Wenshu picked up her book again and said, "If you want to go find those young masters, then forget it."
Li Cheng stopped abruptly at the door.
Turning around, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"They went to the yamen early this morning."
"Why did they go to the yamen?"
"I heard that the culprit has been found. I think you should quickly pack your things. Once this case is over, we have to leave Yiwu and return to Gaoding. If we delay any longer, even if I want to help you, you will inevitably be scolded by father."
Li Cheng thought, why didn't they call me?
Ignoring Li Wenshu's words, he quickly went to find them.
However, the door was closed and they really weren't there.
However, he saw Bai Yin sitting downstairs drinking. He quickly went down to ask, "Brother Bai, did your young master go to the yamen?" “
Bai Yin drank her wine and didn't want to speak.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Li Cheng complained.
Bai Yin said, "Crown Prince Cheng, my young master is very busy."
"Then you should have at least told me. Really." Li Cheng planned to rush to the yamen.
Although Bai Yin wasn't satisfied with him, she didn't want him to make a wasted trip. She called out to him, "Don't go, the case has long been over."
"Over? Who's the culprit? "
"I don't know! My two young masters should have gone to the Zhao family now. "Bai Yin drank a mouthful of wine, her expression as cold as ever.
Li Cheng smiled, walked over and heavily patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Bai."
He then went to the Zhao family.
At this time, the Zhao family.
They arrived right after Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong's troupe returned from the yamen.
"You are?" The troupe's staff asked.
"This humble one's surname is Ji. I am the one who investigated this case."
The legendary expert who could paint bones?
They really met him in the flesh!
The staff said, "Young masters, the yamen's people have already asked us questions. What else do you want to ask? Zhang Xiaobai has been arrested by you. "
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other, then said, "This humble one knows, but there are some things that I haven't figured out yet. I wanted to personally come here."
"Then … what do you want to ask?"
"I …" Ji Yunshu opened her mouth.
Someone shouted, "Sister Xiao Qu can't hold on any longer. Hurry and call the doctor."
Xiao Qu? It was Dan Jiao who played the ghost lady.
The troupe quickly went to Xiao Qu's room.
Some went to call the doctor.
The place where the Zhao Family Troupe lived was behind the set up theater.
The Zhao family was divided into three parts: the front, middle, and back.
The front was the theater, the middle was the courtyard where the troupe practiced martial arts, and the back was where everyone lived.
Ji Yunshu was about to follow them, but Jing Rong suddenly pulled her hand, saying, "You go first, I'll go to the backstage to take a look."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
She understood his meaning.
Thus, the two went their separate ways.
Jing Rong went backstage alone.
Ji Yunshu followed everyone to Xiao Qu's room.
Xiao Qu had been bedridden ever since she saw the human finger in the yellow soil.
At this moment, she was rolling on the bed, sweating profusely, her hands clutching the bedsheets tightly.
The maid beside her grabbed her hand worriedly, "Sister Xiao Qu …"
"My head hurts!"
"Don't worry, I've already called the doctor. You'll be fine."
"Ah!" Xiao Qu struggled out of the maid's grasp and began to pull her hair, screaming, "It hurts, it hurts! Am I going to die?"
"No, Sister Xiao Qu, you'll be fine."
The troupe members began to discuss, "Did Sister Xiao Qu see a ghost?"
"It looks like it!"
"It's really scary. After all, Sister Xiao Qu was the first to see the skeleton. She must have suffered a great shock."
"Do you think … it's a ghost?"
"Don't scare me, I'm afraid of these things the most."
… …
The discussion went on.
Ji Yunshu looked at Xiao Qu holding her head and narrowed her eyes. She walked out of the crowd and stopped by the bedside. She said to the maid beside Xiao Qu, "Go get a basin of cold water."
