He Wen, with sharp eyes, saw that among the rushing team, the leader was Chen Yuming, the fourth-rank magistrate of Huaiyang City, who was wearing a dark official uniform.
His ribs were broken and he couldn't shout loudly, so he patted Ye Qing's shoulder who was pulling him away and said:
"We don't have to hide anymore, the prefect has brought people here."
Hearing this, Ye Qing raised his head and shouted loudly:
"Master Magistrate, my subordinates Ye Qing and Congratulations are here."
There was some chatter among the galloping team.
Chen Yuming galloped forward, and when he was approaching the two of them, he pulled the reins.
Delulu~
The tall maroon horse raised its front hooves, and the magistrate sat on the horse's back. Under the waning moon, he looked majestic and powerful.
Tap!
After the horse's hoof fell, Chen Yuming looked at He Wen who was being held up, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said seriously:
"injured?"
He Wen nodded, grinned and said with relief:
"Two broken ribs."
"It's out of the way."
Then, he hurriedly said:
"I was rescued by Lady Zitian."
"He asked me to give you a message. Don't take the next investigation seriously, just do it in a big way and show off."
Hearing this, Chen Yuming raised his eyebrows and said succinctly without saying much:
"I know, you two go back to heal."
"drive!"
Chen Yuming tightened the reins, and the tall horse immediately twisted its neck, changed direction, and ran forward.
Zai's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Mr. Zai frowned, checked He Wen's injuries with quick hands and feet, and said speechlessly:
"You two young people are not a worry for anyone."
"Ye Qing, that kid, injured his left arm a few days ago. The wound has not healed yet, and it cracked again. If he hurts it a few more times, he won't want his arm anymore."
Ye Qing on the side just smiled and scratched his head.
He was about to mock his congratulatory message, but before he could speak, Mr. Zai said speechlessly: "Well, your kid also broke two ribs. Fortunately, they are not dislocated, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to think about it."
He Wen also sneered and said respectfully:
"Zai Weng, aren't we investigating a case? Danger and injury are inevitable."
"Besides, aren't my ribs in the right place? As long as you are here, it won't be long before I'm full of energy again."
Upon hearing these words, Mr. Zai glared and said angrily:
"You're being mean, which means you, Aweng, haven't been in Huaiyang these days."
"If he were here, let's see if you could still say these words."
Pa~
Zai Zong, who was full of complaints, casually slapped He Wen on the head.
Hahahaha~
Ye Qing on the side couldn't help laughing.
He Wen, who made him shrink his neck, gave the other party a pair of eyeballs.
Then, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Zai, is there anything to eat in the kitchen? I'm hungry."
He Wen:? ? ?
Mr. Zai said casually: "The fire in the kitchen is not out. You can make whatever you want to eat. Please eat something light."
He Wen, who had a look of astonishment on his face, looked at Zai Zong, who was not angry at the address and was very natural. The questions in his mind were about to overflow.
"Okay, I'll have some food, will you eat it?"
Ye Qing got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"If you don't want to eat, just do what you two do."
After Ye Qing disappeared, He Wen came back to his senses and asked in disbelief:
"Zai Weng, did I hear you correctly?"
"Ye Qing called you Brother Zai?"
Mr. Zai, who was setting He Wen's bones, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was calling him Brother Zai just now after calling him by his name. Looking at He Wen's shocked look, it was obviously intentional.
He smiled evilly and said: "Yes, I and Ye Qing are brothers with different surnames."
"If you want to be serious, you have to call him Ye Weng from now on."
He Wen, who almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, curled his lips depressedly, and finally laughed and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. From now on, we can talk about our own affairs."
Hahahahaha~
Mr. Zai looked at He Wen's deflated appearance and laughed heartily.
Two moments after planting.
Ye Qing took off the left side of his clothes, revealing his chest and left arm, and put hot noodle soup into his mouth with his right hand.
With a smile on his face, Xingmu looked playfully at He Wen, who was sitting in front of the table, straightening his back and eating noodles slowly.
He Wen felt very uncomfortable looking at him. He resisted the other person's gaze, slowly moved his buttocks on the chair, and turned his back.
Mr. Zai, who was changing the dressing on his left arm next to him, looked at the two boys like this, with a smile on his face.
After bandaging Ye Qing's wound, he got up and went to sleep.
Two people, staring at each other.
Finally, He Wen couldn't bear it anymore and coughed lightly and said:
"Brother Ye, let's discuss it ourselves."
"By the way, do you think that Lady Zitian will be from the imperial court?"
Bring up business.
Ye Qing also restrained his teasing expression. Having guessed the approximate identity of the other party, he said:
"Not necessarily, but the other party is definitely good."
Then he began to figure it out.
"The other party told us about the secret passage, although we had already guessed it."
"But if the other party hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have searched hard for this, and we wouldn't have discovered immediately that there was a secret passage hidden under the white marble brick where the traces of the charred corpses were in Sanqing Hall."
He Wen, who also thought of this, nodded and said with emotion:
"yes!"
"Besides, our investigation this time was really smooth."
"All the previous speculations are useless."
"So many detective masters were at a loss when the crime occurred and couldn't find any clues."
"When we arrived this time, we found the Zijin Cauldron."
Ye Qing frowned and said, "That's right. When we arrived at Chaotian Palace in the morning, Lady Purple Heaven came to us and told us about the secret passage. We found nothing else. In the evening, when we went to search the ruins, we found the entrance to the secret passage."
"Moreover, the entire Chaotian Palace's remnants from the previous dynasty knew where the secret passage was, but they did not open it and allowed the Zijin Cauldron to remain inside."
"Zitian Ren can break the stone wall of the Drum Tower secret passage with one punch, but after we succeeded and Brother Yan left with Ding, he took action to capture you."
"All this makes me feel that he set up a trap and deliberately delivered the Zijin Cauldron to us without any danger."
He Wen, who felt the same way, nodded and said:
"I feel the same way."
"He is not from the imperial court, but he is on our side."
"This person from Zitian is really covered in a cloud of mist."
Ye Qing, who couldn't figure it out and couldn't express his judgment on Zi Tian's identity, said calmly:
"Anyway, we have the Zijin Cauldron. The secrets and power struggles hidden in this case have nothing to do with us."
"Don't think so much. Your injury is not serious. It will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. It's important to rest and recuperate."
He Wen nodded slowly, his brows still furrowed. After a few breaths, he stood up and walked towards the quiet room in the backyard and said:
"Brother Ye, you are right, no matter how much you think about it, it is useless."
"I'm going to the east side quiet room to rest first."
"Well, I'll go to bed after I've put away the dishes." Ye Qing stood up and put away the dishes.
In the quiet room on the east side of the backyard.
He Wen was lying on the bed, his bright eyes flashing frequently as he reviewed everything that happened today in his mind.
Finally, I heard the door of the quiet room on the west side being pushed open, and he murmured:
"Ye Qing is too sure about Zi Tian's identity."
"Is it possible that he knows something?"
"Also, what was the thing that was taken away from Master Ziyuan's right hand after his death?"
