Chapter Fourteen Encounters

Jiang Xixi sat upright and told Jiao Xiaomei's case in detail to him. After saying that, she looked into Liu Xuting's eyes, "There were several similar cases six years ago in Bianliang, and one of the deceased happened to be the wife's sister, so the adults came back this time to find common points in several cases and thus capture the real murderer behind the scenes."

"But so many years have passed since the case of Bianliang, and the case was not solved back then. Isn't it even more difficult to bring up the old things again?"

Jiang Xixi spread his hands, "There is no way, because Jiao Xiaomei's case has no clue, so she has to start with the Bianliang case six years ago. Perhaps the adults' eyes can really find the connection."

"Brother Cheng has this ability, and I don't doubt it at all," Liu Xuzhang took another sip of tea. "You came to me today. In addition to thanking me, do you also want me to help you solve the case? After all, I still know a few friends in Bianliang."

Jiang Xixi looked at him seriously, "I came to see Lord Liu today. I really have something to ask for, but this matter has nothing to do with the case. I want Lord Liu to find someone for me."

Liu Xuling raised his eyebrows, "Who are Miss Jiang looking for?" He pondered for a moment, "Wait, you said you were looking for someone, not Brother Cheng, so you were hiding this from him. Does this person have anything to do with Brother Cheng?"

Jiang Xixi pursed her lips, "I hope they have nothing to do with each other, and they will never get involved."

When Liu Xuzhi saw her serious expression, he became interested. He showed a curious expression, "Why is this?"

"If Lord Liu comes to the bottom of it, I will beg someone else." Jiang Xixi said and stood up from the table.

Liu Xuzhang surrendered, "I don't ask, I'm only responsible for inquiries, and I'll tell me when you want to say it."

Jiang Xixi sat down again. She ordered a little tea between her fingers and drew a human face on the wooden table. "He is a soldier, and his official title should be not low. The lining in the armor is red. By the way, that man has a particularly obvious feature," she said while drawing a diagonally on the face. "He has a scar on his face, which runs through his face, from his eyebrows over his eyes and all the other half of his face."

Hearing this, Liu Xuzhang put down the cup in his hand, "I know the person you are talking about. His name is He Xu. He had just returned to Beijing from the northwest border and was appointed by the emperor as the leader of the imperial infantry. He is a righteous man, strict in his army, and is highly appreciated by the emperor."

Jiang Xixi looked happy, "It turns out that it would be great if you know him, but what I want to ask about is his family affairs."

"Family affairs?"

Jiang Xixi stumbled, "For example... what is his relationship with her wife? Is he in the city...whether is there any bad rumors?"

Hearing this, Liu Xuzhi shook his head and smiled slightly, "He Xu has been outside the border and has only returned to Beijing recently. I don't know what he is outside the border. But when it comes to his family, it's extremely simple, because he is still alone and has not married. As for the rumors you said between men and women, I have never heard of them, but there are many people talking behind their backs that General He has not married yet, and may be inconvenient to inform others of hidden diseases. Of course, I don't believe this statement, but the reason why such rumors spread is that He Xu is a gentleman who is a self-disciplined gentleman and is absolutely innocent in matters between men and women."

"What if he had always had someone in his heart that he could not forget?" Jiang Xixi stared at the watermark on the table and gently spit out these words.

Liu Xuzhi was stunned, "Who are you referring to?"

Jiang Xixi smiled, "It's nothing, thank you Lord Liu today."

After coming out of Daqing Hall, Zhao Zeping walked out along the imperial road as if he was briskly. There were several calls from behind him from time to time. He thought he could not hear it, but his steps were faster and faster. However, the ministers behind him did not intend to let him go. Zhao Zeping had already passed through several palace walls, but still saw a few figures following not far away from him. He simply made up his mind and turned to the left as he passed through a hanging flower gate, hiding in a lush flower tree.

The few people chasing behind arrived soon. They stood in front of the shrub where Zhao Zeping was hiding, put their hands on their foreheads and looked left and right.

"Where did Lord Zhao run? Why did Mr. Zhao disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"I didn't expect that he was over 70 years old and his legs were still so neat, but why did his ears become deaf first? We called for more than a dozen times, but he couldn't hear it."

"He didn't hear that. He was hiding from us. He didn't let the gift-giving come in, and he wouldn't listen to our nagging. This old man is clear about his heart. Whether he is so noble, we shouldn't make that dog-skin plaster and insist on sticking to others."

Several people scolded Zhao Zeping, and finally relieved the anger in their hearts, and walked out of the palace gate with their sleeves.

When Zhao Zeping, who was hiding in the bushes, heard that they were walking away, then patted the soil on the corner of his clothes and was about to stand up. Before he could stand up, he heard a giggle coming from a distance, "The powerful Lord Zhao actually had such embarrassment, hiding here like a kitten and a dog, and was not afraid of people laughing."

Just listening to the sound, Zhao Zeping had already guessed who the person was. Looking at the sound, he saw a graceful figure standing in an archway not far away.

Even though she stood under the shadows and had unclear face, just seeing her figure and slender neck, she knew that this was a rare beauty. She stood quietly under the arch, gently resting on the wall with one hand, but it had already made the flowers competing for beauty around her inferior. Even the birds stopped crying and stood carefully at the end of the tree and looked at her, as if afraid that her scream would destroy this picturesquely lively and beautiful scene.

"Madam Huarui." Zhao Mingze took the hem of the clothes and stepped out of the flowers. "I haven't seen her for many years, and her appearance has not changed. She is still the same as when she first entered the Song Palace."

The woman called Mrs. Huarui stood still, "Mr. Zhao was joking. I thought I was so ignorant when I first arrived. I thought that everyone in the world would treat me with sincerity. But now several years have passed, and I realized that women, especially women in the deep palace, are just a chess piece in the hands of men. Where he placed you was planned early in the morning, and he just had to use sweet words to coax you into obedience. In fact, we women are just their pedals to power. The so-called sincerity is not at all."
