"A chess dealer who has become popular in the capital recently."
"Chess savvy?"
"Yes, the things that chess merchant sells, whether it's chessboards or chess pieces, have a fragrance that can last for a hundred years."
Is there really such a spice in the world?
"Go and confirm the identities of these bodies, and then investigate the origins of this chess dealer."
"yes."
Jiang Zhuo happened to see Chen Qing in the distance while walking on the long street. She was buying candied fruits from the stall owner with her maid.
I wanted to go up and say hello, but then I remembered that I had just turned over a corpse, and doing so would inevitably leave a bad impression.
I wanted to go back first, wash up and then go find her, but Shen Qing turned around and happened to meet her eyes.
"Long wind."
"Young Master."
"Go and give the princess a message."
Shen Qing originally came out to stroll around out of boredom. After all, if she didn't go out, how could she give someone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of her?
Just as he was about to buy some candied fruit, he caught a glimpse of a dark-red figure out of the corner of his eye. When he turned around, it was Jiang Zhuo.
Just as she was wondering why he was standing there looking at her, the guard beside Jiang Zhuo ran over.
"Princess, my son said he just came out of the murder scene and was afraid of bumping into you, so he didn't want to get close to you."
"Murder?" Shen Qing was puzzled. Whose death would alarm the Dali Temple?
"Yes, seven female corpses were found in a dilapidated house in the east of the city. All of them had their spines removed."
Shen Qing was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
"You are so welcome, Princess. Changfeng takes his leave."
Seven female corpses...
"Miss, this, this is too scary!" Qingge's face looked unhappy.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here. How can anyone kidnap you?"
Yes, for some reason, she always felt a sense of security when she was with Shen Qing.
In the evening, snow fell without warning.
Bai Runyi looked at the snow in the yard through the window excitedly. She wanted to make a snowman.
The weather has been getting colder recently, and she has become more and more lazy, often staying at home.
"Want to go out and play?"
Wen Xingzhi's voice sounded unexpectedly, and Bai Runyi turned around in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
The last time I saw him was when he just came back from winter hunting.
"I've been a bit busy lately."
"Okay, did you bring any good things for me?" Bai Runyi looked at him expectantly with sparkling eyes.
"This box is for you." Wen Xingzhi took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Runyi.
Bai Runyi took it and tugged at it, but it wouldn't budge. "What is this? I can't open it."
"The box contains a gift for you, and you have to open it yourself." Wen Xingzhi smiled faintly, "It's a good way to kill time. Of course, you can also ask for help."
"Okay, you look down on me? I tell you, I can open it in two hours."
"Um."
Wen Xingzhi did not comment on Bai Runyi's words.
He looked at her excited look, a trace of struggle flashed across his eyes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was heavy snow outside the window, and he stared at her who was studying seriously in the house. After a long time, there was only one woman left in the house.
“Hey, this doesn’t make sense either… I don’t believe it…”
As the year draws to a close, everything becomes busy.
Early in the morning, before it was fully light, Shen Jianshan and Shen Yanzhi hurriedly left home and headed straight for the military camp.
There were training plans that needed to be arranged, military supplies that needed to be redeployed, and numerous personnel deployment issues that needed to be resolved. Only when night fell and the stars twinkled did they drag their exhausted bodies and slowly return home under the cold moonlight.
"Dad, this year is the first New Year since my sister came back, so the house will definitely be more lively than in previous years." Shen Yanzhi chatted with Shen Jianshan.
Thinking that this was Shen Qing's first New Year back, he was even thinking about how big a red envelope to give.
Shen Jianshan was a little worried.
He was worried whether Cheng Xue and Chen Qing would quarrel at the New Year's Eve dinner.
"I hope it's not too lively..."
Jiang Zhuo was also busy investigating a case that had such serious consequences that it had alarmed the Emperor. The Emperor ordered him to investigate thoroughly before the New Year and not delay it until after.
In comparison, the most leisurely person is Shen Qing.
She would go to the market with great interest every day. No matter it was the bustling East Market or the West Market full of life, she would stroll around and never get tired of it.
This made Rong Xuanqi, who was following behind her, grit his teeth.
Rong Qing didn't say a word after waking up, but when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain in her wound, she begged him to give her a quick death.
He didn't understand why Rong Qing refused to identify Shen Qing. He could only stare at her but didn't find anything unusual.
There is only one conclusion: she is really idle.
He even wanted to kill her outright.
At worst, he can exchange his life for another!
But the prince said that Shen Qing’s skills were not even inferior to his.
"Boss, is this knife useful for cutting meat slices?" Shen Qing asked, picking up a knife.
"Hey, miss, use this knife. It's very useful!" the host introduced enthusiastically. "But you are so noble, you still cut the meat yourself?"
“Some things are more interesting if you do them yourself.”
"That's a good idea! Then let me pack it for you?"
"good."
Chen Qing's eyes turned slightly. This Rong Xuan was more patient than Rong Qing.
Since everyone is busy, she might as well add more trouble to Murong Zhi.
This New Year, she will not let Murong Zhi have an easy time.
There were too many things, so Chen Qing asked Qingge to take the things back first while she continued shopping.
