Chapter 37 Opinions
"Xiaozhu is back."

The person standing outside suddenly shouted, and saw a thin woman in a dark blue dress walking in from the door. She was carrying a huge bamboo box on her shoulders, which made her look even weaker.

"Xiao Zhu, Master Chu has something to ask you." A woman with a purple peony flower in her hair came out, grabbed Xiao Zhu's hand, and pulled her to the table in the center of the crowd.

Xiaozhu was very embarrassed and looked at the stranger hastily.

Sitting across the table was a man wearing moon-white brocade clothes with dark embroidery patterns, with a face as bright as a crown and bright eyebrows.

At a glance, Xiaozhu lowered his head instantly.

This feeling is like a mouse in the gutter being pulled into the bright sunlight.

Chu Wei's eyebrows moved. He knew that he had some advantages in appearance, so it was not unusual for a woman to see him blush or avoid him in a hurry and then couldn't help but peek at him from a distance.

By the way, someone else saw him staring.

But this gesture of wanting to shrink back is a bit strange.

"Miss Xiaozhu, please sit down."

Chu Wei raised his hand to motion to the seat opposite.

Then someone reminded with a smile: "My lord, we all call her Mrs. Xiaozhu."

Hu Ping, who was standing behind, scolded: "Be quiet, be quiet."

Even after being scolded, the women were not afraid. You pushed me and I pushed you with a smile, but you really didn't say anything anymore.

Only then did Xiaozhu adjust her mentality, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and sat down on the chair opposite awkwardly.

Chu Wei looked her over and said, "Don't be nervous, Miss Xiaozhu. I'm just asking two random questions."

Xiaozhu nodded and hummed quietly.

"Five days ago, on May [-]th, were you in the theater troupe?"

Chu Wei had already asked this question to everyone in Wei Qing's troupe.

Xiaozhu lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said: "On May [-]th, on that day, there was a landlord's family in the capital who wanted to marry their daughter, and asked me to dress up his daughter. I left the city."

"Whose family?" Chu Wei asked immediately.

Xiaozhu unconsciously raised his eyes to glance at him, then lowered his head and said, "It's the home of Mr. Chen, the big landowner in Sangliu Village outside the city."

"On the night of May [-]th, where is the girl?" Chu Wei said nothing about her answer, but continued to ask.

Xiaozhu kept pinching her dress with her fingers on her knees, looking very nervous. She said: "After I came back, I was very tired. I didn't do anything in those two days, except helping the sisters in the theater troupe to dress up. , I just rested at home. Aunt Fu lives in the same room as me, she can testify for me. "

Aunt Fu stood up and said, "My lord, what Xiao Zhu said is true. I woke up the night before yesterday, and Xiao Zhu was still sleeping soundly."

Chu Wei nodded, stood up, and said to the troupe master of Wei Qing: "Before the case is closed, I may send everyone in your troupe to ask questions at any time, so during this period, people in your troupe should not go out. "

Wei Qing said yes again and again, Xiaozhu lowered his head, his fingers no longer messed around, but his eyes looking at the ground showed a bit of caution.

After leaving the troupe, Hu Ping led the horse and followed his father, saying, "Sir, since you suspect this makeup girl from the Wei Qing troupe, why don't you take her directly to Dali Temple?"

"The murderer in this case is ruthless and shrewd, and the evidence is insufficient. It's best not to alert the snake," Chu Weizheng said, his eyes stopped on a plum tree beside the wall in the south of the road, looked at it for a while, and said: "This plum tree has Are there too few plums? Or are the plums ripe and have all been picked?"

There was a woman washing clothes in the yard of that house. When she heard this, she stood up and saw a handsome man. She said, "This tree has yellow plum blossoms. All the girls in our alley like it. This pick The one who picked it will naturally not have many flowers left and not many fruits.”

Chu Wei said in his heart: It's Huangmeihua again.

Hu Ping smiled and thanked the woman, and quickly left Neem Tree Alley, a place full of bold women, while protecting his father, who was quite a magnet for bees and butterflies.

"Brother, why did you come back?"

In Ruiminghou Mingliang's study, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Yuan Chen, who had one foot on the desk, quickly retracted his foot and sat upright.

Chu Wei looked through the files in his hand, walked behind the desk, and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Yuan Chen played with the blood-red opal fan pendant on the folding fan in his hand, and sighed: "My lifelong event, senior brother, the girl doesn't like me. Do I really want to take this opportunity to get married to her?"

The fan pendant swayed, bringing his memory back to the summer when he almost starved to death. The opals falling from the sky were like stars from the sky that happened to fall into his arms.

The stars suddenly fell, and he only saw the back of a little girl.

It wasn't until he arrived in the capital that he found the owner of the cat's eye stone.

Although the girl no longer knew him, he hoped to protect her and live a happy life.

Yuan Chen was distracted for a long time, and then he heard the sound of turning pages. He saw that the senior brother was writing something without paying attention to what was going on outside the window.

"Then the tongue pulling case hasn't been solved yet?" he said.

"No, the murderer was extremely strong and had martial arts skills. He basically left no useful clues at the scene." Chu Wei said, putting aside the pen in his hand.

"Are you talking about the adopted daughter of Cheng Mansion?" He picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

He didn’t even mention his name when he spoke!
Yuan Chen was surprised, looked at Chu Wei and said, "Senior brother, you don't like Xueyao?"

Chu Wei said calmly: "Don't say that, it's easy to misunderstand."

Yuan Chen:---
"Brother, are you on the side of the Cheng family's newly recognized girl?"

Chu Wei glanced at him and drank tea slowly: "I can only advise you, kindness is kindness, and affection is affection. Don't mix them together. In addition, if you really like it, ask the girl in person The idea is that if she thinks marrying you, she will go to hell, and the master will ask the master to talk to the Cheng family when he comes. If not, you will prepare for the engagement ceremony. "

The girl's sly smile when she talked about the marriage between the second junior brother and the Cheng family girl made Chu Wei give a lot of opinions for the first time.

Yuan Chen was very moved. Although his senior brother didn't say it explicitly, he actually cared about him.

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother." He stood up and saluted, pointed to the door and said, "I brought senior lychees newly produced in Fuzhou, so I will leave first. If there is any information about your case that I need to know, feel free to Go tell Shopkeeper Liu."

The sound is still in the room, but the person has gone a long way.

Piaofeng came in with washed lychees with bright red shells and said with a smile: "Master, these are quite good sugar-water lychees. The second master brought three kilograms, this is yours."

Chu Wei looked at the glazed branch-patterned plate, which only contained less than half a catty of lychees, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

These men can really eat a lot.

Piaofeng asked: "Master, don't you want to eat?"

Chu Wei:---
He reached out and pulled the plate in front of him.

Piaofeng chuckled, turned around and trotted out to eat the lychees he got.

In the early morning, the sun breaks through the clouds and fills the sky with thousands of rays of light.

As the top restaurant in the capital, Zhen Huige usually doesn't serve customers until half noon. After the waiter has cleaned the street in front of the shop, he wipes the tables and chairs with a basin.
