Feng Xiaoxue couldn't understand why the girl who wanted to marry her husband came up one after another. Her husband is still just a small prisoner, and that's what to do in the future.

The more concubines there are, the more people will come to share his husband. This is something that no woman will be happy with. She cannot have children, so she can only accept her husband's concubines, but she does not want her husband to have too many concubines. Qin Zhihui disappeared, and the Yang family's incense was still not settled. She took the initiative to discuss with Yang's mother to take another concubine for her husband. Unexpectedly, three came at once, which made her feel a little at a loss.

Yang's mother asked Yang Qiuchi carefully about Hao Qian's situation and thought it was very good. She briefly discussed it with Feng Xiaoxue and thought it was very good and could be married. But she also felt that this matter would have to be decided after Song Qing's matter was handled.

That night, Yang Qiuchi hugged Feng Xiaoxue and lay on the bed. Seeing that Feng Xiaoxue was a little unhappy, she knew what she was thinking, gently stroked Feng Xiaoxue's smooth skin and comforted her: "Xiaoxue, although there are three people coming to propose marriage, I won't marry all of them. If anyone comes to propose marriage, I will marry whoever I want, can I finish marrying so many women?"

The husband understands his thoughts and can take care of his own thoughts, which makes Feng Xiaoxue feel warm. She pressed against Yang Qiuchi and said, "Husband, you should take a concubine to pass on the family line for our family. However, I can't give you an idea of ​​who to take, so you should decide for yourself."

Yang Qiuchi kissed her gently on the forehead: "Xiaoxue, you said, which of these three is better?"

Feng Xiaoxue thought for a while: "I have never seen the sister of Mei Niang, the fifth concubine of the magistrate, but this Mei Niang looks very... very..." Feng Xiaoxue wanted to find a more appropriate word, but she couldn't think of a suitable one.

"It's very charming, right?" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.

Feng Xiaoxue nodded: "Actually, she is quite beautiful. Some are, some are…"

"Somewhat pretends to be cute and tender, right? Hehe?"

These are all what Feng Xiaoxue thought in her heart. She was embarrassed to say it out. Since her husband said that, Feng Xiaoxue agreed and continued: "I don't know how her sister is?"

"No matter how she is, I'm not interested anyway." Yang Qiuchi waved.

"Hehehe. I know you are not interested in Mei Niang." Feng Xiaoxue smiled and touched Yang Qiuchi's chin, "At the banquet the day you married Zhihui, Mei Niang hooked up with you, you avoided it, Xiaoxue was so happy to see it."

"Okay! So you're peeking at me!" Yang Qiuchi pinched Feng Xiaoxue's firm and tender breasts, and Feng Xiaoxue let out a roar. She punched Yang Qiuchi's chest: "You want to pinch me to death?" Then she continued: "I haven't seen that daughter Hao Qian, who is from Mr. Hao, but I heard from my husband. It seems that Zhipiao Astronomy has been beaten up, which is even more cruel than me." Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, in fact, he had never thought about it like this.

Although they talked and laughed, Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue both felt that there were still many troubles in taking a concubine, which was not as simple as expected.

Early the next morning, Yang Qiuchi got up and asked Yang's mother to wait at home. He went to the inner yard to call Song Qing, and then asked her to go to Yingtian Mansion to find Song Qing's mother to break the engagement. He also asked Feng Xiaoxue to be responsible for arranging the marriage between Long Zixu and Chunyadi, and then arrived at the inner yard.

Before Magistrate Song and the others got up, Song Yuner had already gotten up and came to the living room to talk to Yang Qiuchi. After a while, Magistrate Song and his concubine Mei Niang also came out.

When Mei Niang saw Yang Qiuchi, she laughed, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, twisting Yang Liu's slender waist, leaning on Yang Qiuchi's chair, and said in a sweet voice: "Young Master Yang, you know what I guaranteed to protect you, right? Hehehe, my sister is a top-notch talent, much more beautiful than mine. If you see it, you will definitely make your eyes straight. Hehehe, let's make this happen as soon as possible. I'm anxious to drink your thank-you wine." After that, she gently swept Yang Qiuchi's head on her hand, and a strong fragrance immediately covered Yang Qiuchi's entire head.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er with help. Song Yun'er pretended not to see it, looking at the bare branches outside the living room door, as if she was enjoying some beautiful scenery.

Yang Qiuchi looked at the magistrate Song again, and the magistrate Song smiled: "Okay, Mei Niang, look, see how you make your nephew nervous. This is a big deal. People, they should not think about it carefully." Mei Niang smiled and twisted her slender waist back to the magistrate Song.

County Magistrate Song said again: "But, Mei Niang is really good. I have seen her and it is indeed very beautiful. Xian, and the nephew will definitely not make any mistakes when he brings her over."

This matter is not worthy of Yang Qiuchi's slap, and Meiniang must not have any ideas. She must refuse it. Yang Qiuchi said: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your kindness, but my nephew has decided to take Miss Song Qing as his concubine. Today I am going to Yingtian Mansion with Song Qing to discuss the matter of breaking the engagement with her mother."

County Magistrate Song was slightly surprised. However, how could he, an old fox, not know about the good things between Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing. Song Qing is his niece, but Song Qing's mother is still there, so it's not his turn to decide on the marriage. However, County Magistrate Song was also very clear that his own daughter Song Yuner also liked Yang Qiuchi, but he couldn't help with the feelings. Besides, no matter who they married him, it would be a good thing.

When Mei Niang heard this, her mouth was pouting, but Song Qing was the niece of Magistrate Song. What could she say? Her sister could only stand aside. She snorted, and the boss turned around and went back to the inner hall unhappily.

County Magistrate Song smiled and said, "Song, if Song Qing marrys a virtuous nephew, I am very happy, uncle, then we will be a family in the future. Song Qing's mother is still very reasonable, so I don't know what the Hao family means."

What else can it be? What can he do? Yang Qiuchi said: "It's up to people, and I believe the Hao family will agree."

Magistrate Song nodded and handed over the maid to call Song Qing.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "However, uncle, I can only push back the matter of breaking the engagement first. Last night, I made an important discovery. I extracted a small particle of cinder at the scene of the murder of Tu Laosi, and it was probably left by the murderer. After I analyzed it, I determined that the murderer might be related to the workshops that mine coal or smelting iron near Ningguo Mansion, and I was preparing to find clues from it. Now we have to go to Ningguo Mansion first. Let the prefect Zhou help investigate these smelting workshops. After finishing the matter, we will go to Yingtian Mansion to discuss the matter of breaking the engagement."

This bone case has always been a heart-wrenching problem in the heart of Magistrate Song. Now there is finally a new clue. Magistrate Song is overjoyed: "Great! That's great! There is a good nephew." After thinking about it, he said: "Let's do it. You, go and work on the investigation of the case. I, your mother, and Song Qing, go to Yingtian Mansion to handle the matter of breaking the engagement for you.

Although Yang Qiuchi had made up his mind to go to Song Qing's mother to deal with this matter, after all, he was thinking that now Song Magistrate is willing to go for him, and Song Magistrate comes forward. It is hundreds of times better than himself, and he is still not able to boast about himself. But if he doesn't praise him, how can others know how to marry his daughter to you? Song Qing Magistrate is the sister-in-law of Song Magistrate, and Song Magistrate is also an official of the court. Her mother will definitely listen to what she said. With him, this matter will be more than half successful.

So, after hearing what Song Magistrate Song said, Yang Qiuchi was surprised and happy, and stood up to thank him repeatedly.

Song Yuner interrupted, "I accompany my brother to investigate the case. I don't feel at ease with him alone. If he meets many bad people, he might not be able to rely on his puppy alone."

"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi said happily before County Magistrate Song said, of course he was willing to go with him.

In this way, the troops were divided into two groups: County Magistrate Song, Yang's mother and Song Qing went to Yingtian Mansion to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement and marrying Song Qing to Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner went to Ningguo Mansion to solve the case.

Yang Qiuchi first went home to get a bloody handprint fingerprint cloth piece, and then brought a geomagnetic fingerprint brush, tape and a magnifying glass to extract fingerprints. He called Hou Xiaoqi, a servant of Jinyiwei, and brought the little black dog to Ningguo Mansion with Song Qing.

When he went to the prefect's office to find the prefect Zhou, Yang Qiuchi told the prefect Zhou about his investigation ideas. The prefect Zhou immediately called Master Qian Gu in the yamen. He was specifically responsible for tax collection and was very familiar with smelting workshops of all sizes within the Ningguo Mansion. Master Qian Gu introduced that there are no coal mining areas in the Ningguo Mansion's territory, and the coal used was almost transported from the coal mining land north of Luzhou (now Hefei). There are more than ten smelting workshops using coal land, including about two or three hundred people.

Yang Qiuchi asked the prefect Zhou to send someone to extract the fingerprints of all the people in the smelting workshops and hand them over to himself, except for children who are too young, and taught the methods and requirements for fingerprint extraction.

After the fingerprint was retrieved, the prefect Zhou ordered the fingerprint to be retrieved and sent it back in a hurry. He also made a special house for Yang Qiuchi, Song Yuner and Hou Xiaoqi were responsible for the guards outside the door. Yang Qiuchi locked himself in the room and compared the fingerprints sent one after another.

Fingerprint comparison is very eye-catching. Although I used a magnifying glass to help, it was still very tiring.

All fingerprint samples near Ningguo Mansion were delivered, but only a few places in remote places had not been delivered. There were more than 200 fingerprint samples delivered. Yang Qiuchi was very serious and careful in his work, so it was even slower to compare. When he finished comparing the last sample, it was already the second update late at night.

After comparing all the more than 200 fingerprints, Yang Qiuchi walked out of the door tired and frustrated.

Song Yun'er was waiting for Yang Qiuchi outside. When she saw Yang Qiuchi coming out, she ran over excitedly. She was about to ask if Yang Qiuchi had any results, but she had already seen the results from Yang Qiuchi's frustration. But she didn't know how to comfort him.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want Song Yuner to see her failure, so she forced a smile and asked, "Yuner, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I'm here to accompany you, brother, don't work too hard. Take your time, don't be too tired if the case is not solved."

These days, Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing were together, putting Song Yun'er aside. Although she didn't call her, she still felt a little guilty. Now she has been by her side to accompany her to check, and Yang Qiuchi felt a little moved. How could Yang Qiuchi not know about this little girl's thoughts? But I can't tell her too much, so as not to misunderstand her. The girl's love is just beginning, and many of them are like green olives, mostly bitter, and not much will be satisfactory. It should be fine after a while.

After being tired for a day, after a few gossips, the two of them went back to sleep separately.

The next morning, after Yang Qiuchi got up, the servant told Yang Qiuchi that all the fingerprint samples from the remaining remote places had been delivered.

Yang Qiuchi took the sample and rushed into the room and started comparing, and he didn't even have time to have breakfast.

While comparing, Song Yuner knocked on the door outside and said that she was giving him snacks. Yang Qiuchi went out to open the door, took the snack tray in Song Yuner's hand, and was about to close the door. Song Yuner said angrily: "What baby is so expensive? Even I don't let me take a look."

In fact, only one magnifying glass was used to compare fingerprints, but this thing was a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty. Song Yuner, a little girl, has a big mouth, and after a few miles of talk, there are many troubles. Besides, she doesn't understand this kind of fingerprint comparison. Maybe she guessed it randomly and blew it with someone else, but there were more things to do. Yang Qiuchi didn't explain, and coaxed her softly: "Be good Yuner, are you waiting for your brother outside, okay?"

Although Song Yuner was curious, since Yang Qiuchi didn't let him see it, he nodded. Yang Qiuchi quickly closed the door and began to compare while eating snacks.

As a result, all of them were compared, but none of them were the same.

Thank you for your hard work, this clue is broken again.

Yang Qiuchi was extremely depressed. He opened the door and sat on the threshold in a daze.

When Song Yuner saw Yang Qiuchi's expression, she knew that she had not noticed anything. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she sat on the threshold and stared in a daze with him.

Yang Qiuchi sighed, and said to himself with a frown, "Oh ~! What should I do? I can't check all the people in the smelting workshops in the entire capital."

"What are you doing when checking the smelting workshop?" Song Yuner asked curiously.

"The murderer is probably related to the place where there is cinder, but now I have checked all the smelting workshops near Ningguo Mansion, but I have found nothing. It seems that my idea is wrong. What's wrong?"

"Where is there cinder?" Song Yuner repeated, "It is not necessary that there is cinder in the smelting workshop."

Yang Qiuchi had a sound in his head, yes, why am I so confused? Although only smelting workshops used coal in the Ming Dynasty, this cinder was not necessarily only available in smelting workshops. It was possible that cinders were transported and used in other places! It really woke up the dreamer!

Yang Qiuchi happily grabbed Song Yuner's arm and shook it hard: "Genius~! Yuner is such a genius~!"

Yang Qiuchi suddenly became nervous, making Song Yun'er confused, and said angrily: "What are you doing, are you crazy?"

Hahaha, Yang Qiuchi laughed and pulled Song Yun'er up. The two of them went to find Master Qian Gu, the yamen of Master Zhou. Hou Xiaoqi, a servant of the Jinyiwei, naturally followed closely and protected him at any time.
Chapter completed!
