Chapter 47 Sachets
Yan Niang looked at the backs of the two of them leaving hurriedly, frowned slightly: The Zhong Zhiqing case has now been handed over to Dali Temple for handling, why did Xin'an Mansion interfere in his affairs and rush to find Zhong Zhiqing's escaped subordinates? Although the man tied up Cheng Muyou and his son on the boat, with Cheng Muyou's nature, it is impossible for Cheng Muyou to take personal care of his business and private affairs, and to vent his anger, he had to catch him.
Thinking of this, the doubt that had not dissipated in her heart surged up again: If Zhong Zhiqing wanted to destroy the evidence of the crime, it would be enough to kill Du Zhiyong, so why did he take such an extra step to rob the Cheng father and son? The reason why he did this was definitely not just because of the salt ship, but also other reasons. The reason why Cheng Muyou wanted to find his subordinates now is definitely due to the same reason.
But, what exactly is it?
Thinking of this, Yan Niang walked quickly towards Jihong Embroidery House, came to the dining table, gently touched Xun'er's head, then grabbed his right ear, which was still feasting, and pulled it under the grape trellis.
"Girl, if you have something to do, I'll talk about it after I finish eating." His right ear hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and complained to Yan Niang dissatisfiedly.
"When you finish your meal, the water will pass through Sanqiu." Yan Niang said as she threw the square handkerchief into her right ear's arms, "Wipe your mouth clean and go find someone for me."
"Now?"
"Now."
"Who is that person?"
"Zhong Zhiqing's subordinates, but you must hurry up and don't be taken first by Shi Jin and the others."

One day half a month later, the autumn was clear and the air was refreshing. Xun'er stood in the courtyard of Xin'an Mansion, with one hand behind her, and looked like an old pedantic. She shook her head and recited a poem: "One mountain, two mountain, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, the maple leaves are elixir; the chrysanthemums are blooming, the chrysanthemums are in lingering, the geese are flying high, the people are not returning, the wind and moon are idle."
Seeing that he read this poem so well, Cheng Muyou couldn't help but smile, "Does the gentleman in the academy teach you these?"
Xun'er stopped and turned to look at her father, "This is not what the teacher taught me. I remember it in my heart when I heard Yan Niang read it occasionally. She also said that she recognized the person who made this poem."
Cheng Muyou said, "Miss Yan said she knows Li Yu?"
Xun'er nodded, "Yes, she said others said that Li Yu was a cowardly and incompetent person. He only knew the music of poetry and lyrics and knew nothing about governing the country. In fact, he misunderstood him. Yan Niang said that although Li Yu was the king of the country who destroyed his country, he had a tough personality. He recruited soldiers and resisted with all his strength, but in the end, due to the huge gap in strength, he was defeated like a mountain, which was much stronger than Meng Chang in Shu."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Muyou was surprised at first, then thought about it, and then smiled like a self-deprecatingly: Who is she? Even if she said she knew Qin Huang and Han Wu, he would not be surprised now.
When Cao Cao arrived, the father and son were talking, suddenly they heard a burst of laughter from the door. Not long after, they saw Jiang Xixi bringing Yan Niang in. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and under the reflection of the afterglow, they looked particularly gorgeous.
"Sir, Miss Yan is bringing something to Xun'er."
Seeing that both father and son were there, Jiang Xixi smiled and explained the purpose of Yan Niang coming here.
Cheng Muyou raised his eyebrows and said, "Take something? Recently, this kid has been to the embroidery shop for more and more times. Why is Cheng so embarrassed to ask for the girl's things again?"
Yan Niang glanced at him, "I gave it to Xun'er, not to you, so how can you refuse it for me?" At this point, she took out a sachet from her cuff and stuffed it into Xun'er's hand, "Let's see if you like it?"
Seeing that the sachet was very delicate, Xun'er happily held it in her palm and sniffed it, "It smells good, what is Yan Niang putting on here?"
Yan Niang smiled at him, "It's nothing more than some magnolia fragrance, which can ward off the wind and dispel the cold, promote the lungs and open the nose, and wear it in autumn. It's the most suitable thing to wear it in autumn."
Jiang Xixi took the sachet over, "The girl is so careful. What lord and I didn't expect, the girl actually thought of it." Speaking of this, she looked at Cheng Muyou meaningfully, "Xun'er is such a blessing. She can be with her neighbors. If he can have a closer relationship with the girl in the future, then..."
Having said this, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open. Shi Fei hurriedly walked in from outside with sweat on his face. Seeing that Yan Niang was also there, he pressed down the tension on his face, walked quickly to Cheng Muyou, and muttered something in a low voice.
Seeing this, Yan Niang bowed tactfully, "Sir, I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first." After saying that, she looked at Xun'er again, "The crabs in the fish pond are fat. I'll make a redocument tomorrow. You remember to come over."
Xun'er nodded excitedly, took Yan Niang's hand and walked out, folding her mouth, "I'll send Yan Niang out, I'll send Yan Niang out."
Seeing the two people's backs disappear at the end of the corridor, Cheng Muyou then suddenly put away the smile on his face, turned around and looked at Shi Fei, and asked in a low voice, "You just said that Zhong Zhiqing's subordinate has found it?"
Shi Fei focused his attention, "I found a good person, but the person found a corpse, and it had already smelled. He should have been dead for half a month."
"Die?" Jiang Xixi couldn't help but blurted out these two words, "How did he die?"
Shi Fei looked quite embarrassed, "When I found him, his body was corrupt and black, and there were no obvious scars on his body, so the cause of death was not seen. But one thing is certain, he was neither poisoned nor hanged by others, because if these two ways of death, the appearance of the body should appear."
"It's neither strangled nor poisoned, nor traumatized," Jiang Xixi touched his chin and muttered softly, "Sir, what exactly was he injured?"
Cheng Muyou's eyes were far away, and a look that others could not see through appeared on his face, "This is not important. What is important is who was killed? What is the purpose of the person who killed him?"
Speaking of this, he looked at the two people who were concentrating and pondering, and said softly, "You two will go first, I have some things to deal with."
Shi Fei and Jiang Xixi were stunned, and hurriedly marched to Chengmu and walked out of the yard one by one. When he got outside, Jiang Xixi pinched his chin and said to himself, "I still haven't figured out why the adults insisted on finding that person, and only let a few of us find people, so that others don't know. Such a mysterious and mysterious thing always makes me feel that this matter is not simple."
Shi Feizhao patted her shoulder and laughed twice, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, we will do whatever you ordered. Even if you guess it, don't mention it to others, so as to save more accidents."
Jiang Xixi was stunned, "What's going on?"
Shi Fei sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled at Jiang Xixi, and walked through the corridor without saying a word.
