Warm fragrance cloud around

Lin Junnuan lowered his eyelids, took two steps forward and walked to the servant: "Since you didn't kill the person, why did you run away?"

The man rolled his eyes, lowered his head and shy away from speaking.

"What's your name, and what kind of errand do you get in Duke Lu's mansion?"

"Hui, Master Hui, the younger one is called Da Da, and he is the coachman of the Duke."

"Oh, the coachman, the carriage driver," Lin Junnuan flicked his sleeves, squatted down facing him, twisted up the corners of his clothes and raised them; "The coachman in the Duke's Mansion is treated really well, see what you wear." Yes, this material is not worse than mine, how much is the monthly payment?"

Ma Da scratched his head and smiled: "It's only a few dollars, it's not comparable to adults, it's not comparable."

I don't have any money now. Lin Junnuan glanced at Cheng Shaoqing inadvertently, then looked away, pinched his nose and casually asked: "Have you eaten mutton today? It smells like mutton."

"No, no, the wheels don't work well, so I put some sheep oil on them to moisten them, maybe my hands haven't been washed well."

So it turned out, Lin Junnuan smiled knowingly, got up and walked back to Cheng Jiangyun, and said in a low voice: "The dagger smells like mutton oil, he should have touched it."

Cheng Jiangyun's complexion darkened, and he began to put on a white face. He found a black whip from somewhere, and whipped it on the ground with a crackling sound, which also made Ma Da tremble with fear.

"Lu Guogong has already stated that he does not recognize you as a member of the Duke's Mansion. Even if you die in Dali Temple now, no one dares to collect your body. You should think about it carefully. How should you explain it so that I can be punished lightly? .”

Ma Da sat paralyzed on the chair, seeing Cheng Jiangyun getting closer and closer with a whip, his body trembled involuntarily, and kept shouting: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, the villain really didn't kill anyone, the little one is wronged!"

"Still complaining?" Cheng Jiangyun frowned, "If you didn't kill the person, why would someone see you leaving the dead person on the day of the crime?"

"The little one didn't kill anyone, the little one just, just... took something..."

"what?"

"Things from the Duke's Mansion!" Ma Da patted his thigh and said loudly, "Yes, that bitch Mingyu stole the Duke's treasure and escaped from the mansion. The little one was ordered to recover the things."

"Where is that thing now?"

"Leave it all to the Duke!"

"You also scratched the face of the deceased?" Lin Junnuan asked suddenly from the side.

"Yes, yes, but Mingyu had died at that time."

Lin Junnuan clicked his tongue twice: "What kind of deep hatred do you have with Mingyu? He won't let it go even after he dies, and you have to scratch his face specially?"

"He deserves to die!" Resentment flashed in Ma Da's eyes, "Isn't he just a slave who sells meat, he is arrogant all day long, who can show his arrogance!"

A trace of displeasure appeared in Lin Junnuan's eyes; "It sounds like you are...jealous?"

"Hmph, I'm jealous of him? That dirty and lowly thing is not worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Ma Ma didn't know what he thought of, and he wasn't even afraid of Cheng Jiangyun's cold face, and began to swear by himself, full of unsavory street swearing, Cheng Jiangyun subconsciously glanced at Lin Junnuan, but saw her listening with gusto , couldn't help turning his head and coughing dryly: "Stop talking nonsense, what happened on the day when the crime happened, and explain it honestly!"

"Yesterday, yesterday Mingyu said that he wanted to swim in the lake and asked the younger one to accompany him out of the house, but he rented a boat to go up alone and asked the younger one to wait by the lake."

"Not long after, the little one was notified by the people in the mansion that Mingyu had stolen the Duke's treasure and planned to escape secretly. The little one hurriedly rented another boat to catch up with Mingyu, only to find that he had died in the boat. The boat was empty, that bitch must have committed suicide."

"The little one was afraid of getting into trouble, so he took away the things he stole, scratched his face, and then left. What happened after that, the little one didn't know anything about it."

Ma Da insisted on these few statements of testimony, and after that, no matter whether the two men threatened or lured them, they never let go.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Jiangyun had no choice but to take him into custody temporarily, and went to the hospital with Lin Junnuan to visit the rescued boy.

After seeing the old doctor in the hospital, Cheng Jiangyun was obviously very surprised, and his voice raised a little unconsciously: "Old doctor Feng, why is it you!"

This old doctor is old doctor Feng?Seeing that he is dressed plainly, he doesn't look like an imperial doctor at all. If he doesn't work well in the imperial hospital, what is he doing in this small medical clinic?Lin Junnuan was also a little unbelievable.

The old doctor bowed to Cheng Jiangyun: "Cheng Shaoqing, we meet again."

Cheng Jiangyun was puzzled and said, "Why are you here? Didn't Your Majesty say you won't pursue it?"

"Although your majesty doesn't pursue the matter, the old man is ultimately to blame," the old doctor sighed, "If the old man hadn't forged the medical certificate that day, the four murders might not have happened. The old man really has a conscience, and he shouldn't be an imperial physician to prescribe a doctor. Museum, if you save a few more people, it will be an atonement."

"Don't talk about nonsense, you are here to see that boy, he is already awake."

The old doctor raised the curtain at the back of the lobby and led the two of them into the back room.The boy changed into the clothes of the medicine boy, and was huddled in a corner of the kang, sipping porridge, and when he saw a stranger coming in, he trembled unconsciously, his big black eyes filled with panic, until he saw the stranger behind him. The old doctor then relaxed a little.

The old doctor stepped forward, patted his head lovingly to let him continue to drink porridge, then turned to look at Lin Junnuan and the two: "This kid is timid and guarded, don't scare him."

Lin Junnuan walked over and made friends with him: "Little brother, what's your name?"

The young man looked at the old doctor beseechingly, and the old doctor nodded slightly, "He is the big brother who saved you."

Hearing what the old doctor said, the young man quickly put down the porridge bowl, kowtowed to Lin Junnuan on the kang: "My benefactor's kindness in saving my life, Feishuang will never forget it! By the way, my name is Feishuang."

Lin Junnuan hurried forward to help him up, and handed the porridge bowl to him again, "Eat slowly, don't worry."

"Fei Shuang, how old are you this year?"

"12 is old."

The 12-year-old child looks ten years old at most, and is so thin that it makes people feel distressed, but he is very respectful and polite in his gestures, without a trace of innocence and impetuosity of a child, so he should have received a good family education.

Lin Junnuan blinked at Cheng Jiangyun, and Chen Shaoqing, who had been standing at the door, came forward. Feishuang noticed his movement, and subconsciously grabbed Lin Junnuan's lapel, Lin Junnuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, " Don't be afraid, this big brother is also the one who saved you, thanks to him stopping Duke Lu, I was able to bring you out."

When she mentioned Duke Lu, Feishuang trembled a few times almost reflexively, probably because someone was leaning on her to recover.

Hearing that Cheng Jiangyun had also saved him, Feishuang was about to get up and kowtow again, Lin Junnuan hurriedly held him back: "How can you be so polite at such a young age, let's drink porridge with peace of mind."

After Feishuang finished his bowl of porridge, she asked, "Feishuang, do you know Mingyu?"

"Do you know Brother Mingyu?" For the first time, Feishuang's cautious face showed obvious joy, "Where is Brother, take me to find him!"

She couldn't continue with the following words, Lin Junnuan gave Cheng Jiangyun a wink, and gestured with her mouth, "You come to ask".

Cheng Jiangyun tried his best to soften his tone: "Feishuang, tell me first, are you and your brother the slaves of the Duke's Mansion?"

"I'm not," Feishuang raised her voice, "brother said, if anyone asks, you must tell him that I'm not a domestic slave, I'm a good citizen, and I have a document to prove my identity!"

"Your brother... said?"

"Yes, my brother came to see me secretly two days ago, and said that if a stranger rescues me from Duke Lu's mansion, he must tell him that I am not a domestic slave and that I have nothing to do with Duke Lu's mansion. Two big brothers, I Where is brother now, take me to find him quickly!"

"Where is the document... now?"

"Brother was afraid of losing it, so I kept it with me all the time." Feishuang raised the silver lock on his neck, broke it in half, and took out a piece of thick paper folded into a square.

Cheng Jiangyun unfolded the thick paper, and it turned out to be a household post. The household post was made in the 17th year of Qikang, and it has been five years now.

"You were originally from Qingrong County?" Qingrong County is one of the largest counties near the capital.

Fei Shuang nodded slightly, and kept looking outside the door, as if she couldn't wait to find her brother.

Surprisingly, the two names Ming Yu Feishuang turned out to be their real names, "Your father must be very knowledgeable, right?"

"Father...is no longer here, and my mother has also left. My brother took me to beg all the way to Beijing, and was later taken in by the Duke."

Lin Junnuan paused slightly: "Duke Lu... took you in?"

"Well, my brother said that the Duke likes him very much and is willing to take care of us, but..." Feishuang's eyes began to overflow with tears, "I always see my brother secretly crying, and he doesn't look happy at all."

"Later, Grandpa Guo said he liked me again. My brother was very anxious and wanted to take me away, but Grandpa Guo locked me up and never let me see my brother again."

Feishuang was well protected by Mingyu, and she still couldn't understand the meaning of the dirty things that happened to him. At this moment, she only wanted to reunite with her brother as soon as possible. He also began to have a bad feeling, "My lords, where did my brother go? Is there something wrong with him?"

"Don't worry, your brother is fine, he just went to a far away place, and he won't be able to see you for a few years." Lin Junnuan could only tell white lies to comfort him, but Fei Yi was young, but he didn't care about it. Not easy to fool.

"You lied, something must have happened to my brother, right, right!"

He was too weak, and after being so excited for a while, he suddenly became exhausted and passed out on the kang.

Cheng Jiangyun retrieved the old doctor who had left wisely before, checked his pulse and confirmed that he was fine, the two were relieved, and let Feishuang temporarily recuperate in the medical hall for a few days.

After walking out of the clinic, Lin Junnuan grabbed his palm tightly, wishing he could rush into Duke Lu's mansion again and tear up that old bastard, but thinking of the times we live in now, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"Is this account... useful?" She turned to look at Cheng Jiangyun, Mingyu was gone, at least Feishuang must be preserved.

Cheng Jiangyun nodded affirmatively and said: "It will be useful." Even if the account post is useless, he will make it useful, finally saving people, and absolutely not allowing animals to harm them again.

"Mingyu... committed suicide, right?"

Cheng Jiangyun sighed, "It should be."

In order to support herself and her younger brother, Mingyu had to sell herself to the Duke's mansion to be tortured by others. She only hoped that her younger brother would grow up safely and have her own innocent life, until one day, those evil hands reached out to her younger brother.

Mingyu didn't have the strength to resist, and couldn't even make a call for help openly, so she had to use her own death to stage a big drama, hoping that one or two people who watched the drama would have good intentions and be willing to investigate the truth and save her brother from the magic pit , but this desperate fight was completely destroyed by others.

The truth of the case will eventually be buried.

Fortunately, they rushed into the room in time without hesitation or delay.

The author has something to say:

Let me explain the last few paragraphs again.

Mingyu himself is already a domestic slave of the Duke's mansion. If he finds an excuse to kill him, the Duke doesn't have to bear any responsibility. He is always followed when he goes out, and he can't ask for help or file a complaint openly. Killing him directly is even more self-defeating. There is basically no way to save my brother.

Ma Da, who was sent by the Duke to monitor him, has been harboring ill intentions towards him. Mingyu excuses that he wants to swim in the lake alone, and let Ma Da stand guard on the shore. Bringing a blood letter against the Duke of Lu should attract attention, expose the Duke's evil deeds, save his brother's life, and wear women's clothing to make many nobles even more dissatisfied with the Duke.

Who knew that Ma Da had ill intentions for him, and he rented a boat to go to the center of the lake to mistreat him, but he saw his dead body first, disposed of the blood book he was carrying, and scratched his face, leaving him alone. The case became a no-brainer.
