Chapter 501 Whistling away
The next morning, Hua Jingyao yawned out of the Princess' Mansion. It was the route last night and went out carefully. He did not meet anyone from Jinyuan along the way.
After this case was found, there were two most suspicious people, one was Bai Huiyu and the other was Liang Grand Master Liang Xiushen.
Among them, Liang Xiushen is the most suspected.
But now these two people are not in the capital.
Shuntian Prefecture has rushed to send official documents to Jinan Prefecture for 600 miles, and Jinan Prefecture sent someone to escort Bai Huiyu to Beijing.
Even if Bai Huiyu is not the murderer of this case, he is also an important witness.
Bai Jing also wrote a letter to his brother who was still in Tai'an. It would be best if the Bai family came forward to send Bai Huiyu to the capital, so that he could still maintain some decentness.
Catching Liang Xiushen is of course also a matter of Shuntian Mansion.
Hua Jingyao was too lazy to ask, now she was just waiting for Liang Xiushen and Bai Huiyu to be taken to the yamen.
If she hadn't avoided the princess's wife, Hua Jingyao wouldn't have gone out early in the morning. She should still be in bed in bed now.
"Girl, where are we going? Do you want to go to the bookstore?" Xiao Ai asked.
Her girl is still in the filial piety period and there are very few places to go, either to the yamen or to the book shop.
Of course, the exception is the girl's visit to Yanzhi Hutong.
Hua Jingyao didn't know where to go. She thought for a while and said, "I've been too busy these days. I haven't seen my father. Let's go, let's go to Zheluxiang."
She hasn't used morning food yet. Madam Feng's craftsmanship is very good. Now that she has passed, she might be able to eat the tofu brain made by Madam Feng.
Worried that Miss Feng had not prepared so many people's meals, Hua Jingyao also asked Shi Ding to buy door nail meat patties and scorched circles on the way.
The carriage stopped aside not far from Zhelu Lane. Hua Jingyao got off the carriage and walked in with Xiao Ai, Shi Ding and the Yang sisters.
"Hey, that one sold wontons and didn't set up a stall." Xiao Ai said.
After Xiao Ai said this, Hua Jingyao realized that not only did the wonton sell but also the fried dough sticks and soy milk sells.
Not only that, the entrance of the alley is quieter than usual. There are no women who go out to buy vegetables and breakfast in the morning, nor are there any vendors who deliver water and firewood.
Even the same is true for the Huabi Lane in front, the Shanshui Lane behind, and the entrance of the alley.
Hua Jingyao frowned slightly. The people from the Five City Military and Ma Si are so idle, are you here to clean up the street stalls?
No, everyone lives here with fame and authority. People from the Five City Military and Ma Si came to inspect and were polite. It has been a year since Master Hua San moved here, and this is the first time Hua Jingyao has encountered this situation.
"Miss, there is something wrong." Yang Qing quietly leaned into Hua Jingyao's ear and said.
Hua Jingyao didn't look back and asked without changing her face: "What did you find?"
"It seems that someone is surveillance here." Yang Qing was on guard and ready to attack at any time.
Hua Jingyao said: "Don't worry about these things for now, go and see my dad."
She had the Yang family sisters and Shi Ding around her, so she was not afraid of fighting, but her father was powerless. What if it was someone from the Nangong family who came to steal people again?
Thinking of the Nangong family, Hua Jingyao didn't dare to hesitate, so she raised her legs and ran away.
Shi Ding rushed in front of her and knocked on the door. The door opened a crack from inside, revealing Qingyu's nose.
"Qingyu, open the door, the eldest lady is here." Shi Ding still felt strange. Qingyu means something, half-covered, are you still afraid of seeing people?
"Miss? Why are you here?" Qingyu's voice was light and there was a bit of a false voice.
Hua Jingyao was even more confused and worried.
The people in the yard, her father, and Qingyu Qingyan, shouldn’t they be controlled by the Nangong family?
"Step, break in!" Hua Jingyao shouted softly.
Before she finished speaking, Shi Ding raised her arm and the door was knocked open. Qingyu was knocked to death and sat on the ground with a thud.
Shi Ding didn't care about the Qingyu on the ground, like a bull rushing inside, Yang Qing and Yang Lan protected Hua Jingyao and followed closely behind.
Xiao Ai walked at the end and saw Qingyu opening her mouth, as if she was about to call for help. She hurriedly went to help her, but she felt something was wrong. Madam You said that she had to pay attention to everything when she was with the eldest lady and could no longer treat herself as a child.
She hurriedly said, "Brother Qingyu, are you okay?"
Qingyu originally wanted to shout to remind the people inside, but was disturbed by Xiao Ai, so he swallowed it up if he said something.
Through the screen wall, Qingyu and Xiao Ai didn't know the scene inside, and didn't know that Hua Jingyao was already stupid at this moment.
Hua Jingyao took Shi Ding and the Yang sisters through the screen wall and saw Qingyan standing under the corridor and looking towards the door.
Hua Jingyao was about to ask Qingyan where her father was when she saw a familiar figure.
Sydney pear!
The maid Xueli next to the princess’s wife!
Why is Sydney here?
No, Madam You came to send a gift to Mr. Hua San. Of course, Xueli could come to where Madam You came.
But, when is it now? Early in the morning, many people have not yet gotten up, and Sydney has come so early?
Moreover, Sydney was also standing under the corridor, but the position of the station was different from Qingyan.
Qingyan was standing at the door of the study, holding a broom in his hand, obviously cleaning.
However, Sydney was outside the window of Dongji Room, holding a large copper pot in her hand, and obviously had just burned hot water from the stove.
Sydney is a first-class maid. Even in the eldest princess's mansion, the work of boiling water and delivering water was done by the little girls.
The first-class maids in the mansion are all untouched by the spring water. Hua Jingyao has never seen them do these jobs.
What’s even more interesting is that even Sydney doesn’t do these things in the Princess’s Mansion, how could she come to Master Hua San to bring a large copper pot to boil water?
Hua Jingyao was stunned, and Xueli and Qingyan were also stunned.
Hua Jingyao looked around and didn't see Miss Feng.
Although Madam Feng does not live here, she has already arrived at this time.
"Where is Madam Feng? Hasn't she come yet?"
That's right, Miss Hua is already talking nonsense. Don't ask her why she just asked Miss Feng, without asking why Sydney is here.
Don't ask, she is just a coward, she only dares to ask some irrelevant things.
"Ah...Feng...Miss Feng...She...She asked for leave yesterday." Qing Yan finally recovered and his mouth became fluent. "Yes, Madam Feng asked for leave, but I won't come today."
Hua Jingyao grinned and squeezed out a soulless smile: "...I'll ask for leave too. I'll leave, just pretend I haven't been here."
After saying that, Hua Jingyao turned around suddenly, ran away: "The wind is tight, pull it!"
Yang Qing and Yang Lan ran and thought, "It's impossible for the eldest lady to be a bandit, why can't they even say slanderous words from their bandit family?"
Four people ran over the screen wall. As soon as Qingyu got up from the ground, Shi Ding rushed over to open the way for the eldest lady. With a bang, Qingyu was knocked to the ground again.
Xiao Ai was frightened and Yang Lan picked her up...
