Chapter 437 The sign of the big murderer

"I'll send you back to rest first, and then invite Zhao Xiang to see the handwriting. After tomorrow's morning court ends, we will go to see that Yufen together. No, now we have changed its name to Chunlan."

Zhou Xian said, taking out a brocade box and handing it to Chi Shi, "It's a coincidence. Didn't Ashi bring a silver needle today, and he still had to find a silver hairpin in the tangled dressing box to test the poison?"

"A few days ago, I went to an antique shop and saw this."

Chi Shi leaned against the carriage wall and looked at Zhou Xian with interest. His slender fingers were placed on the black gold-plated brocade box, which looked particularly attractive, like a layer of crystal clear water beads covered with grapes from the Western Regions.

There was obviously no similarity, but Chi Shi thought of these things, and she could even remember the sweet taste of grapes.

Zhou Xian opened the brocade box and took out a silver hairpin with an ancient style from it. It looked much rougher than the ones used by women. He took out your hairpin and twisted it gently, and the hairpin became two pieces, revealing two silver needles from it.

"I heard that there were three, but when the shopkeeper took them back, there were only two left. One of them should have been missing in a while. With this, you are carrying a silver needle for testing poison with you, so you don't have to worry about piercing yourself."

"The shopkeeper said it has a history. I heard that it was used by a miracle doctor before. But just listen to these things, it seems practical."

Chi Shi clicked, took the silver hairpin, and played with it for a while in his hand.

The ones used by men to tie their hair buns are usually wood or jade. Although she also has silver, it is not as interesting as this one.

"Then I'll take it away," Chi Shi thought, his eyes moved, he took a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Zhou Xian.

"I can't always accept yours. This one is given to you. There is nothing special about it, it's just expensive."

Zhou Xian laughed out loud, "Thank you, Master Chi Jiu, for your great reward!"

Chi Shi raised his chin, leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and rested.

...

In the plum planting yard, a wild cat from nowhere was lying on the stone table under the plum tree and was dozing. Hearing the footsteps of the pond, he half opened his eyes and looked, then turned around and fell asleep again.

Chi Ying became a relative, Chi Shi was an obvious young man, and there was no reason to live in the same yard with his sister-in-law.

After they returned to the door in three days, they moved to the newly bought small house in Wufang, which was very close to the Ministry of War. Chi Shi was used to living in the plum garden, but he only went to eat every now and then, and he still lived here on weekdays.

She narrowed her eyes, and when she passed by the cat, she quickly touched it. Before the little thing could rise, she walked into the room lightly.

The mother in charge whom Yao stayed to take care of was Wang. She was born tall and always had a blank face, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Shi is back, have you used rice? There is simmered red bean porridge on the stove, but you have to use a bowl. Today, a Lu Constable is coming and I'll give you a basket of dates and two live fish."

"When I said it was a matter of work, I saw someone picking up fish, which was very fresh. If Brother Shi liked it, why wouldn't he make a fish stewed tofu tonight?"

Chi Shi nodded, "When did you come?"

Mother Wang shook her head, "Before lunch, I came hurriedly and left hurriedly. By the way, he also said..."

Chi Shi saw her hesitating and was a little surprised. Although this mother was not kind, she was smart and straightforward. Yao knew that Chi Shi didn't like to talk nonsense, so she was specially kept.

As for being too tough and offending people? Good guy, where is there a stone in this mansion that is harder than the one in the pool?

"I was afraid that Brother Shi would not like it when I said it. Constable Lu said that his elder brother had recently gone to the temple to ask for a visa and divined a divination for Brother Shi, which was a big danger. Constable Lu asked Brother Shi to be more cautious and must focus on protecting himself."

Chi Shi raised his eyebrows and was even more surprised, "For the embarrassment of Brother Tao, a hero, who actually believes in this?"

Mother Wang wanted to speak but stopped and looked at Chi Shi with some concern, "Although it's a nonsense, Brother Shi still takes care of himself more so that his wife can't be separated from each other and can't eat enough to sleep well."

"I understand," Chi Shi nodded and quickly entered the room. Sure enough, she saw the letter Yao Shixin handed over. She looked at it, curled the corners of her mouth, picked up the hawthorn slices placed beside the table, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Two of the letters on three pages were talking to her, not to be hungry, not to eat less, not to be too fat; not to stay up late early, and not to sleep all day long;

Don’t yell at Zhou Xian. After all, he is His Highness, even if he is the prince, so what if he is not a dwarf, we can’t be bullied by others... Such repeated divisions make people not know what to do.

At the end of the letter, Chi Zhu was written in a hurry and went to Youhai County to work as a coroner, and the marriages of several concubines in Chi Shi also became famous.

After Chi Shi finished watching it, he stood up happily, picked up the fine cloth, walked to Xumu, and wiped it finely while humming a small song. She wiped it very carefully, wiping the dust on each rib completely.

...

When I woke up the next morning, my mother Wang had washed the dates. The dates in the north were much larger than those in the south. They took a bite of crispy ones. Not long after I finished eating, the sound of horse hooves sounded at the corner gate.

Chi Shi brought a basket of washed dates and got on the carriage, "Aren't you going to court? You did a lot of tricks, ran out to pick me up and then went again, wouldn't it be enough to let Chang Kang come?"

Zhou Xian glanced at the silver hairpin on his head when he was in Chi, and bent his eyes with a smile, "Brother asked me to come out and pick you up, for fear that someone who was blind will provoke you and was beaten to death by you. Nowadays, it is not easy to find the guards who are willing to stare at the wind and sun guard the palace gate."

Chi Shi snorted, grabbed a handful of dates and stuffed them into Zhou Xian's hand, "Have you gone to find Zhao Xiang? What do you say about Zhao Xiang?"

Zhou Xian took a bite of the date and became serious all of a sudden. His voice lowered a little, "As you were right, the words were exactly the same. This time I wrote a letter to the mother and daughter, telling them that the person who killed people and raised flowers was the only survivor in the murder game in the palace back then."

"The fifth person Yufen, also known as Chunlan, who is now beside Concubine Mei."

Chi Shi nodded, "It seems that Madam Miao has a good memory and has not found the wrong person. That Madam Mei?"

Zhou Xian shook her head, "She was just a noble man back then. She was awarded this title because she was good at painting plum blossoms. Her family background was not obvious, and she was quite favored for a while, but she was arrogant because of her favor and was soon stepped on."

"She has no children, so she lives in the palace with other concubines."

"I have already arranged it. We will go to the side hall of Yuhua Palace in a while and meet Na Yufen."
