Beautiful woman

Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Peach Blossom Crisp

The young man is not very tall, and his body looks thin. His face is cold and pale, as if he has been hiding from the sun for many years.

Qin Xiangxiang took a step back and smiled timidly: "I, I am a pilgrim."

"Since you are a pilgrim, why are you hiding here and sneaking around? Or did you have a disagreement with Liao Haohai just now?"

Does this person know the young official just now?And judging by his tone, he must have been the one who had problems with the young official.

Qin Xiangxiang still shook his head timidly: "I don't know that person. I am a pilgrim. I heard that a murder occurred here. I was curious and came to take a look."

As soon as she said these words, the young man raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You are a young lady, but you are so bold. But I advise you to leave. No pilgrims are allowed to stay in the dormitory these two days. If you go there I might arrest you and regard you as the murderer."

Even if she didn't come, Ma Sizhi would have already been regarded as a suspect.

The young man was kind-hearted. Qin Xiangxiang said, "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for reminding me." She saluted and left without looking back.

The young man stared at Qin Xiangxiang's figure disappearing, lowered his eyelids, looked around, and entered the dormitory area openly.

It was quiet around the dormitories, and the two dormitories where the murders occurred were not sealed.The young man opened the door generously, but it was not locked.

He had only been in for a moment when the young official who had just left suddenly rushed in with a group of officers. After a while, someone shouted angrily: "Liao, why do you think it was me who killed Li Zhuang!"

Someone sneered: "Why, just because you appear at the scene of the murder now! Jiang Hongsheng, everyone in Kyoto knows that last autumn, you and Li Yushi almost had a fight in Tianxiang Tower. Li Yushi was just impeaching Grandfather, you have a grudge against Li Yushi!"

Jiang Hongsheng shouted: "I hate that thief in Li Zhuang. He is like a mad dog and will bite every military attache he sees. I wish I could skin him and drink his blood, but unfortunately, I can't kill him with my own hands!"

Liao Haohai sneered: "You still said it wasn't you! Jiang Hongsheng, you studied under a master in another place, and you learned sword skills, right? Li Yushi's fatal injury was a sword piercing his heart!"

Jiang Hongsheng pouted at Liao Haohai: "Foolish official! There are so many sword-wielding people in the capital, how come you think it's me! Liao Haohai, you are clearly seeking revenge for your own personal vengeance! When you were seven years old, I kicked you into the pond, and you actually I still hold my grudge to this day!”

Liao Haohai said: "If it's not you, why are you here sneaking around? Admiring the flowers?"

"I heard that the thief from Li Village died here. I came to see the fun!" Jiang Hongsheng said.

Liao Haohai sneered: "What a poor excuse! Brothers, escort him back to Dali Temple!"

Jiang Hongsheng did not struggle, but kept scolding Liao Haohai: "Foolish official, mediocre official, grandpa will tell you to look good later!"

The group of people walked away in a lively manner.

Qin Xiangxiang came out from behind the wall.What's terrible is that the young man is Jiang Hongsheng, the grandson of General Yude.She remembered that her father Qin Guanlan also impeached General Yude last autumn.However, he only got off the hook once, and later Li Zhuang took over the main affairs.

However, Jiang Hongsheng was quite beyond her expectation. He didn't look like a queen, but was as thin as a scholar.Also behind the gate, Mu Ting is stronger.However, the only thing the two have in common is that although they are behind the gate, neither of them went into battle to kill the enemy.

After General Yutoku's son died in the battle, General Yutoku took his son's body back to Beijing for burial and never left Kyoto again.As for his grandson Jiang Hongsheng, he was sent to another place to study under a teacher when he was only ten years old and did not return to Beijing for ten years.As soon as he returned to Beijing, he and Li Zhuang confronted each other at Tianxiang Tower.

Qin Xiangxiang thought to himself, no wonder General Yude didn't let Jiang Hongsheng join the army. According to Jiang Hongsheng's temperament, he might be very impulsive.Is it okay to be impulsive on the battlefield?At that time, it was all the price of blood!

Then again, Jiang Hongsheng is a bit like Mu Ting.As soon as he saw his father being impeached, he went all the way to the capital to beat up Li Zhuang.

The two of them are still too young and need to be tempered.

For example, if her father is in trouble, isn't she living a peaceful life?
Qin Xiangxiang thought for a while, and this time she walked in without hesitation.

The spring light is scarce, and even the dormitories of Baoxiang Temple, which is full of incense, have not been repaired for some years.The red paint on the door has long since peeled off, there are green marks on the steps, and there are messy footprints.

Qin Xiangxiang gently opened the door, and what appeared in front of her was a clean room.

The simple furnishings in the room, including a bed, a table, a few cabinets, a couch, two futons and four chairs, are clearly visible at a glance.

Qin Xiangxiang was stunned.Isn't this a murder scene?Why is it so clean?What was the situation when Li Zhuang was killed?Where were the signs of a struggle when he was stabbed?

All gone? !Did you go to the wrong room?
Qin Xiangxiang quit, relying on the memory of that night, feeling a little confused.

She remembered that it was the one at the end.Because it was at the very end, facing the high wall alone, no one knew about the fight between her and Yang Dagui that night.

Or, after the people from Dali Temple took away Li Zhuang's body, Baoxiang Temple felt unlucky and cleaned the scene?

Qin Xiangxiang came out of the room after finding nothing. She was thinking when a gust of wind blew by, and the next moment, she was taken to a hidden wall.

That Gust of Wind was actually a person, an old acquaintance.

Qin Xiangxiang looked at Mu Ting in front of him in disbelief. How did he do it?Mu Ting was carefully observing his surroundings. After a moment, he turned to Qin Xiangxiang and said solemnly: "How can you be so careless and just stand there in a daze?"

Qin Xiangxiang didn't answer his question, only asked: "Why are you here?"

"I don't worry about you." Mu Ting replied smoothly, "As expected."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

"But at least, I'm not being hunted now." She was very unconvinced.

Mu Ting said: "It's just good luck."

"I'm going back to Xiangji Kitchen." Qin Xiangxiang was too lazy to argue with him.

Mu Ting pulled her: "Did you know that the official of Dali Temple is in Xiangji Kitchen?"

Qin Xiangxiang was a little surprised: "You mean, Ma Sizhi?"

"It's him. He carried a few peach branches to Xiangji Kitchen and asked the monk to make peach blossom cakes for him."

Qin Xiangxiang put aside his hand: "I won't tell you anymore. I escaped by peeing. If I stay out for too long, others will be suspicious."

She lifted up the hem of her skirt with both hands and left in a hurry.

Mu Ting looked at her back and shook his head, "Tsk, I thought Mrs. Qin was quite smart."Hadn't Ma Sizhi already suspected her?It's just that no definite evidence can be found.

He only stayed for a moment and then left quietly.

Ma Sizhi is really in Xiangji Kitchen.

Qin Xiangxiang went in elegantly, and when he saw Ma Sizhi, he looked surprised: "Ma Sizhi?"

Ma Sizhi looked at her with a smile: "Madam Qin, we meet again."

This Ma Sizhi is really a ghost that never leaves.

Qin Xiangxiang asked, "Don't Ma Sizhi need to be on duty today?"

Ma Sizhi still said gently: "I am taking a break from bathing today, and I happened to come here to try the craftsmanship of my old friend."

old friend?

But I heard the old monk say with a smile: "Lao Na and Ma Sizhi have been close friends for many years. Ma Sizhi likes to eat the vegetarian food cooked by Lao Na the most."

There is such a connection?Wasn't it the Xiangji Kitchen that Ma Sizhi came to specially to keep an eye on her?

Qin Xiangxiang was a little stunned, but then he heard Ma Sizhi say: "I heard from Mrs. Qin that she is preparing to open a foot shop. I wonder if Ma has a chance to try Mrs. Qin's skills first?"
