Lin Ye Xiaoji

There is a land temple at the head of Juren Village. People come to clean it every day, and people come to add sesame oil from time to time.

At first, this earth temple was just a small mud hut, but after a strange event, the incense began to flourish.

A sister-in-law in the village who had been infertile for many years took a lot of medicine but it didn't work. One day, she passed by here to rest and took a nap in a daze. She dreamed that the landlady said that she would give her a child.At first she didn't care, but after a month she was pregnant. After giving birth to a fat boy, she repaired the Earth Temple with great fanfare.

After such good stories spread, even the sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law from the neighboring villages came to beg for children and donated money to shape their bodies.

Two ever-burning lamps are placed in front of the statue of the landmaid, and the occasional mountain wind that comes in through the crack of the door blows the red silk wrapped around the landmaid's body, and the shadow bulges and falls, adding a bit of eerie horror .

A man with a thick body and plain eyebrows was flipping through the scrolls in his hand by the candlelight in the temple.He was dressed like a businessman who traveled far and wide, but he was surrounded by an oppressive aura.

The other standing in the corner was the boy who just ran out of the Ye Mansion, his hands clenched into fists, and he stared nervously at the turning pages of the book, his eyes were fixed, and his greed was not concealed.After the man finished flipping through, he asked eagerly with a trembling voice, "My lord, but this one?"

The man closed the book and asked in a gentle voice, "Are there only these two books in the study?"

The boy was startled, and he didn't know if he got it right, but he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly explained: "The few boxes of books brought by Mr. Ye have been searched by me, and there are only these two ledgers. The younger one is not very literate, but he can also read the ledger."

The man pondered for a while, without saying anything more, and handed him a few pieces of silver.

The young servant who got the money couldn't help but slipped out of the temple gate without even thanking him, thinking that he could go to the town to gamble a few more times.A cold sword pierced his heart from the back, the smile on his mouth has not disappeared, and his eyes are full of disbelief.The sword spun hard in the heart, and then pulled out lightly and delicately.The body lost its support, rolled down the slope, and fell into the Baihe River with a plop. After a splash of water, it returned to silence.

Lin Shao and Ning Feiyu intentionally lured the three of them to the river because they were afraid to come out to check if they were already asleep or woken up by the noise.

When they got to the river, they had no more scruples, and after a few rounds, the two captured the three men under the sword.But the three of them gritted their teeth and refused to reveal who sent them.

From Ye Yun's few words along the way, Lin Shao probably guessed that these people should come from the imperial court, so he didn't intend to kill them all.But he still said in a cold voice: "If you don't tell me, I know who sent you here, but Mr. Ye has passed away, and his family members have retired to their hometown and don't want to cause any trouble..."

Before he finished speaking, there were slight footsteps behind him, and a burst of ashes covered in a pungent smell came down from his hood. A man threw away the swords of Lin Shao and Ning Feiyu. , performed lightness kung fu and escaped with that person.

"Don't chase." Lin Shao stopped Ning Feiyu.

"Do you really know who sent them?" Ning Feiyu asked after wiping his face.

"It's probably the person who offended Mr. Ye when he was an official. The Ye family has returned home, let them know that someone is protecting them and not making trouble." Lin Shao shook his robe nonchalantly, thinking that this person didn't know what to do. What kind of powder is it? My nose hurts from choking.

"Since we are members of the imperial court, we really shouldn't get involved too much. If we hurt a few of them, we will come to revenge from time to time, but no one will protect the Ye family forever." Ning Feiyu patted his hair clean and said with a smile.

No one will protect the Ye family for the rest of their lives?Lin Shao was stunned when he heard this, what if those thieves really came to harass him from time to time?Young Master Ye is a pure white and soft person like the clouds in the sky that day, so he won't be robbed and defiled by others without protecting him?If you protect him yourself...

"Are you leaving tonight?" Ning Feiyu asked seeing that he was still staring at the ashes on his robe without making a sound.

"Yeah, master doesn't know what's important, he insists on going to Xijing. It's such a long way, I don't think it's difficult for me to walk." Lin Shao was startled by Ning Feiyu's question, and stopped Just that thought.

"Haha, you are delicate. Of course I have something to ask you to go. I will help you visit the Ye family for a few days. When you are done with the matter, send a letter and I will take my junior sister back. Hurry up, it's so late." , I'll go back and rest too." Ning Feiyu said with a yawn.

"Brother, that young master of the Ye family is so delicate, you can pinch a red mark with just a little pinch of his wrist, you have to watch him carefully, don't let him be taken away." Speaking of delicate, Ye Yun once again Getting into his mind, it is inevitable to tell the senior brother.

Ning Feiyu waved his hands, curled his lips and said, "It's not the eldest lady, who wants to kidnap him. Go quickly, I will take good care of myself."

Lin Shao reluctantly led the horse and rushed towards Xijing.

Although Ning Feiyu said that he was not afraid of Ye Yun being taken captive, but he was also afraid that some thief would really take him away if he didn't open his eyes.

On the second day, he took his little junior sister to Ye's house. He didn't tell a quick lie like Lin Shao. He told everything about last night's situation, and then said that staying at Ye's house might be harmful. more convenient.

Although Mrs. Ye went to bed early last night, how could she not hear the movement outside the house, and without saying anything, she ordered the little girl to clean up the wing room for the two of them.

Ye Yun woke up this morning because she was drunk last night.Seeing Ning Feiyu and Qi Wanwan in the hall, she immediately felt refreshed, and didn't listen carefully to what Ning Feiyu said, thinking that Lin Shao just went to Xijing alone without his junior sister.

Qi Wanwan was wearing a water-red shirt. Because she was nagged by her mother since she was a child, she didn't dare to escape when she saw a woman. It was the same at this time. She sat behind Senior Brother Ning in a well-behaved manner, but got a few compliments from Madam Ye. It is said that she has a demure temperament and has the demeanor of a lady.Unexpectedly, in silence, Qi Wanwan had glanced at the back of Senior Brother Ning's head hundreds of times, only thinking that he would finish the chat soon.

There were shouts of people outside the house, as well as women's cries.The old butler hurried in, seeing that the hall was full of people, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Yun couldn't help asking: "Uncle Wang, what's going on outside, it's so noisy?"

The old housekeeper looked up at Mrs. Ye, and saw Mrs. Ye also nodded to indicate him to answer, so he stopped hiding and said, "The boy who was recruited yesterday was found floating on the Baihe River this morning. His mother is outside the door." , Said it was our fault."

Everyone in the hall was shocked, Ye Yun reassured Mrs. Ye, and ordered the old housekeeper to send someone to report the case to the government, and then went to the gate with Ning Feiyu and the others.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Wanwan tugged Ye Yun's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Go let someone look at the study, have you ever lost anything?"

Ye Yun was a little confused for a while, so Qi Wanwan couldn't help emphasizing again: "Hey, I saw a young man go to your study to look through things last night."

I saw Ye Yun's eyes widened all of a sudden, unable to hide his panic, and it was clearly written on his face: "Is it you who killed me?"

Wanwan was speechless for a moment, and she justified in a low voice: "Don't think too much, I didn't kill anyone, and I let him go without taking anything."

Ning Feiyu, who was walking in front, had been listening to Qi Wanwan chattering behind him, and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Qi Wanwan, what are you talking about while pulling Young Master Ye?"

Qi Wanwan fell silent immediately, and smiled dryly.In my heart, I just regret how I let that person go yesterday. If I knew it, I tied it up and handed it over to the Ye family. I haven't told Senior Brother Ning yet, thinking that I have done something of great merit, but today I will cause trouble.

The corpse wearing the clothes of Yefu's servants was wrapped in a straw mat and lay across the gate. A woman with disheveled temple hair sat on the ground and said, "My poor son, he was murdered after only one day's work for someone, and he was killed I was thrown into the Baihe River, tell me, how can I live alone."

The surrounding villagers pointed and whispered.

"Why did the Ye family find him to do something? Wasn't he kicked out by the Chen family last time?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that he stole Master Chen's jade paperweight."

"Tsk tsk, I also heard people say that the paperweight was exchanged for money, and it was all lost in the gambling house."

"Ouch, sin."

"The former son also stole a chicken from my house, it would be better if he died."

"Everyone is dead, let's not talk about accumulating virtue."

When the woman saw the door of Ye's mansion opened and a tall young man came out, she thought it was the young master of the Ye family, without thinking, she jumped up and hugged the man's leg, wiping her nose and tears, howling loudly: "Give me back my son, give me back my son..."

The corners of Ning Feiyu's mouth twitched, he couldn't move his feet, and couldn't reach out to push the woman.

Ye Yun and Qi Wanwan who were following behind were stunned for a while, and hurriedly asked someone to pull the woman away, and then said to the woman: "We have already reported to the official, and someone from the yamen will find out the real culprit soon."

The woman also knew that her son had a habit of stealing chickens and dogs, and she was afraid that she stole things from the Ye family and wanted to sell them in the town. An accident happened on the way, and she wanted to get a windfall, but she didn't know that the Ye family would report it. official.I was also a little flustered for a while, wiped away my tears, and shouted even louder: "This Ye family didn't admit that they killed someone, and they went to report to the officials. Who doesn't know that the master of the Ye family used to be an official, and the officials and officials wanted to force me to death. ah."

After a while, the boy had already invited the arresters from the yamen.

Wu Zuo inspected the body, and told the police: "He died around Haishi. He was pierced through the heart by a sword. There were impact scars on his body. He was thrown into the river after he died." It also contains mung bean cakes, which should be supplied to the Earth Temple, and there are red lights on them."

Hearing this, the onlookers immediately burst into flames. Every household in the village would make mung bean cakes, just to show respect, and those who enshrine to the earth temple would light red.

The police officer had already been disturbed by the crying of the woman next to him, so without saying a word, he asked someone to take the woman, Ye Yun and others back to the yamen.
