Li Zhishan's expression became subtle, obviously he was thinking about something, but he denied it after a while: "When drinking tea with Siqi and elder brother, most of them only talked about antiques, and I didn't hear elder brother mention anything.people."

Seeing that he denied it, everyone didn't find it strange, after all, no one would want to be involved with these things.But Li Zhishan's eyes flickered slightly when he spoke, and he seemed to avoid everyone's eyes on purpose, and kept silent after he finished speaking, for fear that others would ask more questions.

Su Mu found it quite interesting. In the past, he always felt that the study of micro-expressions was an illusory thing, so he felt that forensic medicine was a great profession. Now that in ancient times, he suddenly lost the advanced inspection technology, he is more aware of the psychology.importance.

For example, even if he hadn't studied micro-expression studies, he could still see that the person in front of him was deliberately hiding something.

Everyone in this house really has their own little secret?

The turmoil in the Hong Mansion ended with Ding Ziping and Hong Nianan being brought back to the county government office. Su Mu thought that the mother and son were pitiful, and wanted to settle it with broken silver, but he didn't want the jailer to wave his hands again and again: "Young master, you don't need to be like this.Your Excellency has already come to give orders, we will pay close attention to these two people. And if this piece of silver is found, I heard that Master Liu is very strict, I..."

Su Mu was also surprised when he heard the words, Liu Xiaoran always seemed to have an indifferent and distant expression, which made people feel that he was far away, but this person was actually careful and thoughtful, and almost everything was arranged properly.People feel extremely at ease.

He nodded, indicating that he knew, smiled a little embarrassedly, put away the broken silver, and walked away.

The clue seems to be broken here again. Su Mu sat on a chair beside him holding his head with a headache, while still thinking about whether there is a new direction.Lu Lingjue, who was across from him, was already sleeping soundly on the table. This person started to feel sleepy after eating. It was like this every day, and Su Mu was no stranger to it.Liu Xiaoran was sitting in the center and flipping through the account books of the Hong Mansion that he had found from Hong Chengyu.

It was probably the only thing in his house that had anything to do with his death.

Liu Xiaoran read it seriously, and Su Mu had nothing to do, so he volunteered to get the book to read, but the account books were written in all kinds of ways, completely different from the simplified version of people in the new era, and he didn't know anything about it.Facing the dense numbers, he could see neither the difference nor any abnormality.

Glancing at Lu Lingjue, who was sleeping soundly across the way, Su Mu suddenly felt a little helpless, and just as he was trying to find something, Liu Xiaoran's voice sounded.

"You..." Liu Xiaoran paused when she spoke, and Su Mu raised her head when she heard the words, and met the awkward expression on the other side.

"Liu Shaoqing? What's the matter?" He was a little puzzled. Could it be that he was too slow to be discovered?

Liu Xiaoran coughed unnaturally again, and then said: "Calling you Lord Marquis may cause you unnecessary trouble—"

Su Mu understood, and followed his words with a smile: "Yu Zhi, it's good to call Liu Shaoqing that way."

With the other party's consent, Liu Xiaoran felt a little relieved without even noticing it.

He has never interacted with people, firstly because of his personality, he does not want to cause troubles, and secondly, he is not very good at dealing with various speech skills when getting along with others. He can be strict and decent, but it is difficult to get along with him.People get closer.

In the past few days, Su Mu has really impressed him a little. Although he has no preconceived prejudices, he is really amazed by this person's ability, and the pursuit of the truth behind Su Mu's inadvertent expression made him a little bitA sense of sympathy.

Since he entered Dali Temple, he has seen too many unjust, false and wrong cases, and he has also seen all the people who are in the temple but only care about gains and losses.As time passed, he no longer believed in his colleagues. Even if the files sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review had already been approved once, he would handle them again.Tired for several days, it is difficult to have a peaceful sleep.

If before coming to Bishui County, he would still be a little apprehensive because of the unsolved mysteries about Su Mu, but now, he already has the urge to trust this person.

He has been walking this road alone for a long time, and occasionally he feels that someone is walking with him... a little special.

Even so, Liu Xiaoran still used the most common pronoun when she opened her mouth: "There are some problems here, come and have a look."

In fact, Su Mu was quite curious about how he would feel if Liu Xiaoran called him that, but the other party didn't call out, so he had no choice but to give up, and moved his head over with such a little regret.

"What's the matter?" Su Mu looked at the page where Liu Xiaoran stayed, but couldn't read anything strange from the middle.

Liu Xiaoran quickly returned to her original state, and clicked out several items on this page.

"Even if the Hong family is a big family, spending a thousand taels of silver on polished rice is still too much." Liu Xiaoran frowned, and then clicked on the next place, "Here, here, the expenditure is far beyond the normal expenditure."

"Is this making false accounts?" Su Mu was not familiar with the market price, so he couldn't see it, so he raised his head and asked, "He is too extravagant, so do you need to balance his expenses?"

Liu Xiaoran was noncommittal, this Master Hong seemed like a prodigal son, but it was not impossible.

At this time, Su Mu patted himself on the head, and suddenly said: "I remembered, Chen Chu said before, Master Hong and Second Master Hong had some property disputes before, could it be..."

Liu Xiaoran also noticed that something was wrong. Before that, they mostly focused their investigation on the objects they could find, but they also ignored that the family itself was a bit unusual.

"If it's an ordinary family, the parents are dead, and the children should be separated, but in this Hong Mansion, everyone is still together—"

Su Mu nodded: "It seems that we should seriously ask this person."

As soon as these words were said, before Liu Xiaoran could nod her head in agreement, she heard a strange sound from the side.

He glanced sideways, and saw Su Mu's uncomfortable expression.

"Ahem, I—"

"It's night now, and there is no place to sell food in the city." Liu Xiaoran frowned slightly, and looked at Su Mu, "If you know how to cook, you can borrow the kitchen here, and there must be some ingredients."

There is also a kitchen in the county government office. Su Mu knows this. He sneaked out just now and wandered around, but he couldn't find any ready-to-eat steamed buns, so he had to go back home. Now he is facing Liu Xiaoran's problem, he opened his mouth, and finally whispered: "Before... I haven't cooked before."

Naturally, he didn't have to worry about his own food and drink when he lived in the orphanage, there were meals arranged in the orphanage.And after being picked up, Shi Qinglan never let himself go hungry. The little old man loves to think about food when he has nothing to do at home.You must do it by yourself, so that you can raise a good child into a gentleman who is far away from the kitchen.

The more Su Mu thought about it, the more he felt that he was a bit disappointed, and he began to miss instant noodles terribly.

Others will not, it is still possible to boil water.

However, it didn't take long for Su Mu to realize that he had made a mistake.

The author has something to say:

One tael of gold = ten taels of silver = 10 coins = 10000 coins

A person eats about 500 catties of grain a year

Suppose there are 100 people in the house

One tael of silver can buy 1 stone of rice = 130 catties
