Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

After the box was opened, Na Youshi sat on the ground and gasped, his eyes were so wide that they were about to fall out of his eye sockets, he was so shocked that he climbed up with hands and feet in the next moment, trying to grab the book box in Ni Yexin's hand .

It's just that before You Shi climbed up, her hands were randomly punctured by the ground, and she yelled "Ah!".

The little maid was terrified, and hurried over to help You Shi, but was pushed away by You Shi.

Youshi yelled and said, "Get out! Who told you to touch those things! Get out!"

Ni Yexin saw his madness, and took a few steps back, Murong Changqing protected him behind him, and did not pay attention to Youshi.

Seeing that he couldn't beat them, You Shi immediately pushed the little girl again, and said, "What are you waiting for? Go find the master! Go!"

The little maid kept agreeing, and hurried out to find Master Han.

Ni Yexin and the others didn't stop them, it's a mess here, and sooner or later someone will hear that Mr. Han will come early or late.

Ni Yexin reached into the book box, poked at it casually, and then showed a shocked expression.

"What's wrong?" Murong asked affectionately.

Ni Yexin said in surprise: "Look at this letter!"

Ni Yexin stuffed the book box to Murong Changqing, and then opened the letter. It was written by a person, but it was not addressed to anyone, only the signature was left.

It was signed by a person surnamed Yang.

Murong Changqing frowned, looking at that name, he couldn't remember who it was.

Ni Yexin immediately said: "We met this person a while ago, have you forgotten? This Master Yang committed suicide in the end."

Murong Changqing suddenly realized that they had investigated the case of Miss Yang and her husband-in-law before, but in the end Master Yang was taken to the Yamen, but committed suicide.

This letter was written by Mr. Yang. Ni Yexin opened it and scanned it quickly. The meaning of the letter is very simple. It was Mr. Yang who wrote a letter to a person, telling him that he wanted to resign and return to his hometown. They had done too much All the wrong things I did are irreversible, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be forever.

Ni Yexin held the letter in a daze for a long time. Master Yang committed suicide in order not to talk about the snake pattern totem. Ni Yexin and the others no longer knew what kind of relationship Master Yang had with the snake pattern totem, but more or less, there was definitely Relationship.

And when he saw this letter, Ni Yexin also knew that this Han family was absolutely inseparable from the snake pattern totem, and maybe he was also working for the snake pattern totem organization.

Master Han, like Master Yang, was a court official when he was young, but later he resigned and returned to his hometown to start a business.

Ni Yexin glanced at the letter paper, the letter paper was very old, and it must have been many years ago when Master Yang resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Although this letter was found in the third son's room, it definitely did not belong to the third son.I'm afraid that at that time, the third son was not born, or he was still a child.

Who would that be for?

The first thing Ni Yexin thought of was naturally Master Han.

Chi Long was next to him, and frowned when he saw the letter.

Ni Yexin quickly pulled out another letter. This letter looked brand new, with a dazzling snake pattern painted on the corner of the letter.

"Snake pattern totem." Murong Chang said affectionately.

The content of the letter is very simple, without a signature but with a date of signing, it says that three days later, it will be by the lake outside the city.

Ni Yexin looked at it, and was shocked again. According to the date on the letter, the so-called three days later was the time when the first man from a foreign country inquired about the lake outside the city, and then left in the middle of the night?

The death of three people by the lake was not a water ghost, let alone an indiscriminate killing, but a premeditated plan.

What does it mean that this letter was delivered to the Han family?Someone wants the Han family to go to the lake in three days' time?Could it be someone who wants to kill the Han family?

Ni Yexin's mind was spinning quickly, but she felt that it didn't make sense. Then why would a foreigner die, and the third son of the Han family came to the lake later, not three days later as mentioned in the letter.

When everyone looked at the letter, they all showed shocked and strange expressions.

Zhao Mu came over and said suddenly, "Master Ni, can you show me these letters?"

Ni Yexin raised her eyebrows, and suddenly thought that Zhao Mu was the eldest son of King Jing, and suddenly came to this place, saying that he had an errand to do, and it seemed that it was definitely not a simple errand like supervising the construction of the ancestral hall.

Ni Yexin nodded, but he watched it with Zhao Mu before he finished it.

There were a lot of letters, everyone put the book box on the table, and then opened them all to read.

Youshi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he pulled his neck and screamed, like the end of the world, Murong Changqing's face turned dark when she called her, he simply touched her acupuncture points, and threw them out, together with the boy in the yard , standing side by side outside motionless.

This time the room finally became quiet.

Ni Yexin opened another letter. This letter was very clean and looked old. There was also a time written on it, followed by the word "Lu Shi".

Ni Yexin didn't understand what it meant, but he just said it suddenly. Han Qi, who was standing aside, suddenly shook his body, his face showed a shocked look, and his eyes fixed on Ni Yexin who had just spoken.

Ni Yexin said, "Do you know Mrs. Lu?"

Han Qi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he walked over quickly, picked up the letter tremblingly, quickly glanced at the date, and the word Lu, his body trembled even more, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Ni Yexin called out "Mr. Han", as if he felt that something was wrong with him.

Han Qi lost his grip, and the letter floated down and fell to the ground.Gu Jiu next to him immediately reached out to grab the letter, and the letter was picked up again.

Han Qi seemed to be talking to himself, and murmured, "My mother...my mother's surname is Lu."

Lu's family is Han Qi's mother, Ni Yexin suddenly realized.

Having said that, everyone unconsciously read the letter, there was nothing written in it, but there was a day, just like the letter "Three days later, by the lake".

Ni Yexin frowned, looking at Han Qi's expression, she had a bad feeling.

Han Qi seemed to be unable to stand up anymore. His breathing was so fast that he almost fell to the ground. He stretched out his hand to support the table before barely standing still.

He spoke again, and said, "My mother... the date on the letter is my mother's death day..."

Everyone seemed to have a clue in their hearts, as if they could have guessed it a long time ago, but when they heard Han Qi say it, they were still shocked.

There is a date on both letters, and by the time of these two dates, one person died respectively. This is too coincidental, and the coincidence is inexplicable.

Everyone unanimously thought that maybe Han Qi's mother didn't die suddenly, but was murdered.

Han Qi clenched his fists tightly, his body was trembling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, there was a noise from outside. It was Master Han who came. Master Han rushed into the yard with a lot of thugs and servants, and then rushed into the room.

Originally, this posture was not bad, but when those thugs saw Murong Changqing, they were immediately frightened like a mouse seeing a cat, and they didn't dare to enter the house.

Master Han was also a little scared at first, but when he suddenly saw a pile of letters spread out on the table, he rushed in like crazy, and shouted: "You guys! Who told you to see it, get out!"

Master Han was completely reckless, and rushed over to grab those letters, but Murong Changqing didn't need to make a move, Gu Jiu had already raised his hand and stopped Master Han.

Han Qi was pulled back from his thoughts by the voice, his eyes fluttered, and he suddenly looked at Master Han and said, "Father... how did my mother die?"

"Your mother?" Master Han was stunned for a moment, staring in surprise, as if thinking of something terrible, he suddenly trembled all over, and said, "She is dying, don't you know? Why did you come to ask suddenly?" I?"

The ghost incident by the lake suddenly seemed to be more involved, and Ni Yexin became even more curious.

Han Qi shouted: "You liar!"

Master Han seemed to be frightened by Han Qi's posture, he was stunned for a long time, and then said with an angry face: "Why are you talking to your father? I am your father! You are yelling at me!"

"Tell me, how did my mother die!" Han Qi rushed over and grabbed Master Han by the collar.

Master Han was terrified, and he opened his mouth to bite Han Qi, but Gu Jiu, who was next to him, immediately kicked Master Han at the crook of his knee.

Master Han was in pain, and screamed "Ah", let alone biting, he just knelt down with a "plop".

Ni Yexin felt that things had become unusual, and said, "Mr. Han, what's going on?"

Han Qi took a few deep breaths and said, "When I was young, I was in poor health, and my mother was always worried about this. Then one day, San Niang told my mother that there was a village not far away. The temple, I heard it is very effective, might as well let her go to worship. I remember, it snowed a lot that day, my mother said that I was weak and couldn't stand the cold, and wanted to go another day, but...but I Sanniang said that the date has been set, and I’m afraid I’m not sincere if I change the date, if I can’t go, just let my mother go instead of me..."

When Han Qi said this, his whole body trembled. Mrs. Lu went with her servants and maids, but she never came back. Han Qi thought that his mother would come back that day, but waited for three days and three days , everyone in the Han family went out to look for it, but his mother didn't come back in the end.

Someone found Lu's body in the mountain stream, and said that it was very likely that the road was slippery due to heavy snow, so the carriage overturned and fell into the mountain stream.

Ni Yexin frowned when he heard that, Youshi's lobbying for Lu's visit to the temple happened to coincide with the time on the letter, which sounds a bit weird.

Master Han suddenly yelled after hearing this, and said: "It's your mother's bad luck. You deserve this calamity. Do you still want to blame your mother's death on your third mother? Let me tell you, your mother's death It's all your fault! It's not that you were weak since childhood, she also..."

"what--!"

Everyone in the room couldn't listen to Master Han's words. Ni Yexin really wanted to tear Master Han's mouth apart.But before he could make a move, someone beat him. Gu Jiu got close and kicked him. Mr. Han yelled, lying on the ground and covering his mouth, wondering if his teeth had been kicked off.

Murong Changqing loosened his tightly clenched hands, if Gu Jiu hadn't made a move just now, he probably wanted to wring Master Han's head off.

Seeing Master Han lying on the ground, Han Qi suddenly laughed, grabbed an open letter, threw it on Master Han's face, and said, "Father, how do you explain this?"

The letter fell to the ground, with the words "Three days later, by the lake".

Master Han was stunned and said, "What is this?"

Han Qi laughed, with a ferocious smile, and said, "Let me tell you, my good third brother once asked me to go to the lake outside the city on this day, saying that he wanted to apologize to me."

Ni Yexin was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Han Qi. Han Qi had never mentioned this before, and it was the first time they had heard of it, but they were already shocked.

Ni Yexin said: "Third Young Master asked you to go to the lake outside the city on this day?"

Han Qi nodded and said, "I've been busy recently, because I have to clean up the mess for my good third brother, so I have to stay in the shop for a long time at night to sort out the books. I was in the shop that day, and I was going to stay overnight Yes, but suddenly a young man of the third brother came and told me that the third brother was waiting for me by the lake outside the city, saying that he was introspecting there, and suddenly felt sorry for me, let me go, and wanted to apologize to me, If I don't go, he'll just stand there and won't go home. Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Ni Yexin raised her eyebrows when she heard that. Although they didn't know the third son of the Han family very well, the reason for asking him to go to the suburbs in the middle of the night was too embarrassing, and it seemed a bit scheming.

Ni Yexin said, "Have you gone?"

Han Qi said, "Go."

Ni Ye was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Go?"

For such a reason, Ni Yexin always felt that it was impossible for most people to attend the appointment.

Han Qi seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "I went, I know he has no good intentions, but I suddenly want to see what kind of tricks he is playing."

Ni Yexin said: "And then?"

Han Qi shook his head and said, "When I got to the lake, there was no one there, and I didn't see the third brother at all. I thought I was being tricked, so I stood there for a while and then left."

"Didn't you see anyone? Where's the stranger? Didn't you see him?" Ni Yexin asked.

Han Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. Maybe it's my fate, so I left without encountering anything."

What happened to Han Qi and what happened to his mother, Lu Shi, seemed surprisingly similar. There was a letter first, and then someone asked them to go to a certain place, but the results were different.Mrs. Lu died, but Han Qi did not encounter anything.

But that night, a stranger drowned in the lake.

Then he drowned the third son of the Han family.

Later, another stranger was drowned in the lake, and that stranger was a killer.

While they were talking, Zhao Mu had already read almost all the letters in the book box, and his expression became more and more serious and worse.Zhao Mu is an easy-going person, and no one else has ever seen him look so pale.

Zhao Mu suddenly said: "Master Ni, can I take a step to speak?"

Ni Yexin was about to nod her head, but she glanced at Murong Changqing, and Murong Changqing really looked at Zhao Mu with an unkind expression.

Ni Yexin said, "Is it something important?"

Zhao Mu said, "It's very important."

Ni Yexin coughed lightly, moved closer to Murong Changqing, and said, "Hero, I'll go over and say something, and I'll be back in a while."

"A word?" Murong raised his eyebrows affectionately.

Ni Yexin coughed again, and said, "Of course it's just a metaphor, how about twenty sentences?"

"Heh—" Murong Changqing sneered.

Ni Ye smiled ingratiatingly, and then followed Zhao Mu to talk outside.

Zhao Mu took Ni Yexin to a place where no one was around, and said, "Lord Ni, this matter is very important. In fact, the emperor sent me this time to investigate the remnants of the chaos that year. Among the few letters just now, one of them was a traitor." The letter written by the party, I want to take it back and present it to the emperor. Sir Ni, please keep quiet about this matter."

Ni Yexin didn't know which letter Zhao Mu was referring to, but everyone had errands and knew what to do, so he said, "I know, don't worry."

Ni Yexin and Zhao Mu were talking outside, and they could still hear Master Han screaming in the yard, scolding Han Qi for talking nonsense.

Han Qi wanted to confront the young man of the third son, but Master Han surprisingly did not object, and asked someone to bring the young man over.

The servant is still at Han's house, but because the third young master is dead, he was assigned to work elsewhere, and he seemed a bit puzzled when he was called here.

It's just that when he was told by Han Qi, he suddenly looked a little scared.

Master Han said: "Don't be afraid, he is talking nonsense, isn't he? Hurry up and explain the situation to everyone."

Hearing what the master said, the boy was even more frightened, he hesitated and dared not speak.

When Ni Yexin came back, he saw that Murong Changqing had been patient to the extreme.

Ni Yexin walked over with a smile, patted the back of Murong Changqing's hand, and said, "Don't be impatient, hero."

The boy trembled and dared not speak, but finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore, so he said: "Indeed...it is true that such a thing happened."

"What did you say?" Master Han yelled in disbelief.

The boy said: "That day, the Third Young Master suddenly asked me to go to the shop to find the Fourth Young Master, saying that we would meet by the lake outside the city. But...but..."

The boy hesitated for a long time before saying: "But the third young master didn't leave the Han family at all that day."
