My wife is beautiful

It was raining heavily in Chang'an, and pedestrians hurriedly avoided, but one person rode out of the city in the rain.The man in Tsing Yi is Li Qingyan.Li Qingyan went to Juying Mountain outside the city, where his father and elder brother's bones were buried, the place where their souls returned.

The Li family was the only imperial party back then. Five years ago, the Li family was reported by Li Wanhe, the general of the hussars, and was framed by his own people. The reason is that the Li family found out that the Li family intends to rebel.Although the evidence was insufficient, Li Qingming, the elder brother who was a major general at the time, was imprisoned in the sky prison and died strangely in the prison.

Old General Li was so angry that he was seriously ill and was bedridden. Li's family was quickly defeated. Many families were poached by King Yun. In the end, even the second son, Li Qingyan, who was the youngest official minister in the court at that time, also surrendered to King Yun. Become the right and left hand of King Yun.Old General Li thought that his second son Li Qingyan had betrayed Li Wanhe and framed the Li family, and was so angry that he vomited blood and died.

Since then, the Li family has changed hands. In the past, the Li family was the only arm of the emperor. When it comes to the Li family, it is the wise and mighty General Li Chuan Li.Now the head of the Li family has become Li Qingyan, King Yun's running dog, and the ghosts in the officialdom are worried.As for those who resist, there will be no good end.However, the third young master, the youngest son of the Li family, and the young master, the only son of the elder brother of the Li family, just disappeared without a trace.

Li Qingyan knelt in the rain. He hadn't gotten up for a long time in front of the tombstones of his father Li Chuan and his elder brother Li Qingming. Behind these two tombs, there was a small white grave. He knew that it was just a tomb of clothes.

Li Qingyan didn't know what to say, he still had a cold face, but he seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't say a word in the end.The rain was still falling sparingly, soaking his light green clothes, and the corners of the clothes were splashed with mud, and he didn't realize it.

Someone came behind him, dressed in black and brocade robes, Li Qingyan knew who it was without looking, his voice was soft and hoarse, "Master Ji, and Shangshu Lin, why are you two here?"

Among the singers of Ji Qing was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and behind him was a man in plain clothes, Lin Shaoze, who was also holding an umbrella.

There are three forces under King Yun, General Wang Yanming, Lord Ji and Lin Shangshu, and Li Qingyan.Lord Ji has always been on good terms with Lin Shangshu, and both of them are working for King Yun, so it is not too much to get close.But every year to worship these two people come here.

Lord Ji didn't intend to talk to him, he just looked down at the white tomb in front of him, Lin Shangshu sneered and said unceremoniously: "You are not the only one who can come here, nor are you the only one who can miss them. Besides, Li Qingyan, what qualifications do you think you have to kneel here?"

Li Qingyan didn't answer, but got up slowly, her legs seemed to be trembling, as if her knees were numb.His face remained unchanged, and he passed the two of them without saying a word and left. Lord Ji Hou suddenly called out, "Lord Li."

Li Qingyan stopped in his tracks without turning his head, the rain slid across his cheeks, making him look a little fragile. "What's the matter, Master Ji?"

Master Ji turned around with a smile, unable to understand what it meant, he said, "It's raining so hard, why didn't you bring an umbrella?"

Li Qingyan's green clothes were already soaked, but he didn't care at all, and replied coldly: "I forgot to bring an umbrella, Lord Lao Ji is worried."

After Li Qingyan finished speaking, he left without leaving any room.Lin Shaoze looked at his back and asked, "Master Hou, why is this man so thick-skinned, pretending all day long, even the dead?"

Looking at the tombstone of the third son of the Li family, Ji Qingge smiled softly, "Who can pay off these debts? Everyone is in the same boat...and Lin Ziqian was coaxed into obedience by him too?"

Thinking of his younger brother, Lin Shaoze's expression became more and more embarrassing.

Lin Ziqian checked the county chronicles in the yamen for a long time, but he didn't find any records about that case. This incident was very strange. The whole case was as clean as if someone deliberately erased it, leaving no trace.So he and Jin Haoxuan came to Xinghualou. It happened to be in the evening, and Xinghualou opened to welcome guests.

Both of them were a little embarrassed. After all, they were still teenagers, so they were somewhat shy.Since Jin Haoxuan practiced martial arts since he was a child, he looked taller and tougher, which made the girls more happy. On the contrary, Lin Ziqian, although he was more handsome, but because of his gentle manner, he always had a sullen face, and only the bustard stood beside him.

Seeing Lin Ziqian looking displeasedly at Jin Haoxuan's eyes surrounded by all the girls, the bustard asked very attentively: "Young Master, don't be discouraged, how about I find you a beautiful sister?"

Lin Ziqian looked at the old bustard coldly, his face was so frightened that all his makeup fell off, his eyes were really scary.Lin Ziqian snorted coldly: "Are Baihe and Yu Cui still there?"

The old bustard was also very surprised to see that he still knew the girl in this building, "Yes, it's just that Baihe and Yu Cui are not young, so it seems that the young master...has never reached the crown, right?"

Actually, what the bustard wants to say is not yet, right?I ordered two girls as soon as I came, can I stand it?

Lin Ziqian didn't care about the old bustard's eyes, Bai Shengsheng directly threw a bank note over with his fingertips, "The two of them are in charge of the son, please tell them to come down."

The old bustard stared straight at the 50 tael bank note, how could he dare to say that the young master is young?These days, money can turn ghosts around.Immediately put on a smiling face, shook the handkerchief and said: "Yes, sir, please go upstairs, I will call them over right away!"

At this moment, Jin Haoxuan finally broke away from the group of wolves and tigers, walked up to Lin Ziqian and asked, "Are we still looking for those two girls?"

Lin Ziqian gave him a cold look, and Jin Haoxuan asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ziqian was full of anger, looked at the red lip marks on the other party's face, and gritted his teeth after a long while: "It's okay, let's go upstairs."

Jin Haoxuan was still puzzled, but Mr. Gui had already led people upstairs to the private room.Both of them sat down, Lin Ziqian was so angry that his throat was thirsty, and he was about to pick up the wine glass to drink, Jin Haoxuan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't drink it, the wine in the Goulan courtyard can't be drunk lightly, it's all fortified! "

Lin Ziqian frowned and looked at the clenched wrist, and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Jin Haoxuan quickly let go, and explained: "I, it's the first time for me to enter the Goulan Courtyard, it's what Wang Minglang and the others said..."

Lin Ziqian's expression became a little happier: "Come here."

Jin Haoxuan looked at him inexplicably, but consciously sat beside Lin Ziqian. Lin Ziqian didn't speak anymore, took a handkerchief in his sleeve, and raised his hand to gently wipe Jin Haoxuan's face. Jin Haoxuan froze instantly, unable to move. dare not move.

After a long while, Lin Ziqian put down his hand, and there was a smear of red in the handkerchief, "Okay." It doesn't look so obtrusive anymore.

Only then did Jin Haoxuan come back to his senses, and touched his cheek in surprise, "I, I don't know when I got it on..."

When could it be, just when those girls came up to me just now.Jin Haoxuan felt guilty even as he said that, he glanced at Lin Ziqian, the other party's expression remained calm, as if he was saying that it had nothing to do with me, Jin Haoxuan was inevitably disappointed.

"Lily and Yu Cui met the two masters..."

Those two girls dressed briskly, with tulle on their shoulders, came in quickly, and their enchanting smiles changed instantly when they saw the two, "Why, why are you two again, why are you looking for our sisters?"

Lin Ziqian didn't bother to talk to the brothel girls, with a cold and glamorous look on his face, Jin Haoxuan could only helplessly say, "Please sit down, girls, we don't mean anything malicious, but there are some things I don't understand, the girl Ruoshuang mentioned by the girl last time , remember? I just want to ask the girl clearly."

Ruo Shuang was the woman who made a wish in front of the statue of the Fox Immortal Empress, and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.And Lily and Yu Cui in front of them were the ones who set up river lanterns to pray for Ruo Shuang the night before, and happened to let Jin Haoxuan and the others know about the case.

Lily in the orange gauze dress didn't think they were trustworthy, and when she heard about Ruo Shuang, she immediately refused: "Are you going to ask about Ruo Shuang again? Please, you really can't ask about Ruo Shuang, so please don't come here." Forget it, forget it, just think that our sisters are unlucky and you don't want to do business."

Lily pulled Yu Cui beside her as if to leave, but Jin Haoxuan rushed to stop him, but Lin Ziqian pulled him down, and calmly took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, "Girl, don't rush away, you guys As long as you answer our questions well, you take the money away, and the matter will not be exposed, how about it?"

Hearing the crisp sound of the silver ingot, the two girls stopped immediately. Yu Cui in the pink dress looked younger, about twenty, not as sophisticated and cautious as Lily, and turned her head to ask: "You really don't know how to say it?" ? This case is pending."

Lin Ziqian smiled disapprovingly, and there was another silver ingot on the table: "How is it now?"

Baihe and Yu Cui looked at each other, nodded with a smile, and said courteously, "Okay, you can ask me anything, my lord!"

Jin Haoxuan stared blankly, and once again admired Lin Ziqian's wit.At the same time, I feel depressed, Ziqian knows so many things, could it be that he is a frequent visitor to Goulan Courtyard?

Lin Ziqian went straight to the topic: "How much do you know about Ruoshuang, tell me all about it."

Lily opened her mouth with a sad tone, "Nujia and Ruoshuang were sold into Xinghualou by human traffickers in the same year. They were only eight years old at the time and suffered a lot. Because we were similar in age and had the same experience, we became good sisters. Ruo Shuang is the most handsome among us sisters, she treats people very well, and naturally there will be more guests. She has long planned to use the money she earned to redeem herself one day, hoping to live a quiet life. But no one I didn't expect that she would suddenly disappear..."

Lily's eyes were flushed, and her bright face was full of sadness. Yu Cui wiped her tears frequently when she heard that the pear blossoms were raining. Because my father bought me here, Sister Ruoshuang loved me very much. She shared all the delicious food, beautiful clothes, rouge and gouache with me. I am ready to redeem myself, and I also bless her, Mr. Li will have a good time with her..."

Lin Ziqian saw that the two of them didn't seem to be pretending to be fake, but they had some real feelings mixed in, but it was a little strange, "It is said that Li Jixiang abandoned Ruoshuang, so she threw herself into the river, and you are Ruoshuang's good sisters, Why don't you hate Li Jixiang at all?"

Yu Cui paused for a moment, then twitched her eyebrows and retorted confidently: "Where is it that Mr. Li abandoned Sister Ruoshuang? Sister Ruoshuang didn't throw herself into the river!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lily immediately recovered from her sadness and pulled La Yucui, her eyes reminded her not to talk nonsense.Jin Haoxuan and Lin Ziqian naturally heard it, and they thought that there was indeed an inside story, so they also became serious.But Yu Cui realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she embroidered her eyes and lips with embroidered handkerchiefs, her eyes dodged and she didn't want to say more, even a little scared.

Lily's expression changed, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "Young masters, don't listen to Yu Cui's nonsense, she is just too sad, she can't stop her words for a while, how can she take her nonsense seriously?"

Lin Ziqian refused to accept that, and sneered: "Is she talking nonsense, or are you trying to cover up something?"

Lily smiled and sighed with embarrassment: "Young Master, to be honest, no one dares to mention these things so far. If Empress Fox Immortal gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lin Ziqian sneered and said, "I don't believe in ghosts. You should know that even if you don't speak today, I still have plenty of time and ways to make you speak. I will definitely find out the truth of this case. You might as well just say it. Is there something unspeakable? Or is someone blocking your mouth and preventing you from telling the truth?"

Jin Haoxuan said: "Miss Lily, Miss Yu Cui, you claim to be Ruo Shuang's best sister, and you will pray and burn papers for her every anniversary of her death. If the cause of her death is really strange, you can bear to see your good sisters like this... Die in vain, let the real murderer escape from justice, and refuse to tell the truth?"

The black face and the red face sang together, which made the two of them really have some doubts in their hearts, and they also hesitated. The two looked at each other, finally sighed, and both knelt down. If other people learn about this, it may bring disaster to Xinghualou. It is unknown that the two young masters still found out about this matter from others."

Yu Cui glanced at Baihe, bit her lips and said boldly: "There is indeed something hidden about this matter, so after Sister Ruoshuang's death, the entire Xinghua Building was closed for half a year, and the sisters couldn't make a living. How dare we let these It happened again? We know that the two young masters are not ordinary people. Today, the young master said something to let the servants understand, and ask the young master to seek justice for Sister Ruo Shuang and Young Master Li!"

After Yu Cui finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed to the two of Jin Haoxuan, and Bai He also knelt down: "Please seek justice for Ruo Shuang and Mr. Li!"

The two stubbornly kowtowed their heads a few times, but Lin Ziqian and Lin Ziqian couldn't help but get up.Jin Haoxuan had no choice but to help Yu Cui and Baihe up personally, patted his chest and swore: "Don't worry, Ziqian and I will investigate this case. There is still justice in this world. No matter it is a ghost or a ghost, we will pay them back." justice."

The two of Yu Cui wept with joy, wiped their tears with embroidered handkerchiefs, and leaned over to thank Jin Haoxuan, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord..."

Lin Ziqian frowned displeasedly, and reminded coldly: "You should tell the inside story first, don't let them really die wronged."

The second girl had tears in her eyes, she was about to cry, she nodded slowly, and spoke carefully.

It turned out that it was different from the rumors, Li Jixiang was not a heartless man, and Ruoshuang was not abandoned, but the two were in love with each other, and they were worthy of talking about marriage.But the Li family disliked Ruo Shuang's background and did not agree for a long time. In the end, Ruo Shuang was preparing to redeem her body. When she eloped with Li Jixiang, she missed the appointment for no reason.

Ruo Shuang just disappeared in front of people, and the body appeared by the river the next day, drowning to death.It is said that she threw herself into the river because of the humiliation she suffered in the Li family.Li Jixiang couldn't accept this fact, and hoped to find out the truth. He didn't believe that Ruo Shuang would seek death, and he came to Baihe and Yu Cui many times for questioning. In the end, Li's parents sent people to take him home, and he was about to marry a Miss Rich.

Unexpectedly, the river lantern festival that night was also Li Jixiang's bridal chamber wedding night, and it was also the day of his death.

According to the bride's description, Li Jixiang fell to the ground and rolled over after drinking the Heying wine. In less than an hour, his intestines were pierced and his stomach rotted and died.Then someone spread the rumor that Ruo Shuang and Li Jixiang had made a wish in Empress Fox Immortal.

In order to reassure Ruo Shuang, Li Jixiang made a vow in front of Ruo Shuang that he would die if he betrayed his heart, and it was finally fulfilled, which shocked many people into panic.

Clearly it has nothing to do with the Fox Immortal Empress, but insisting that it is the Fox Immortal Empress who came to take revenge, there is indeed another story.

It was the relatives of the Li family, who claimed to have seen the fox fairy, with slender and charming eyes, a long nose, and a big snow-white tail, they actually appeared at the back door of the Li family on their wedding night.Later, some people also went to investigate this case, but almost all of them were haunted by the fox fairy empress, and they were punished with minor punishments and severe punishments. After that, no one dared to investigate this case.

But in Xinghualou, even mentioning a word is considered taboo.

After Baihe finished speaking, she still looked at Jin Haoxuan and the two worriedly, "I know that the two masters must be very capable, but those who investigated this case a few years ago were punished in a serious manner, so you are not afraid ..."

Lily didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear, Jin Haoxuan smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, if we dare to investigate, we won't be afraid of the so-called fox fairy empress, I'm afraid it's not ghosts and gods, but complicated people's hearts."

Lin Ziqian nodded in agreement, and then asked Baihe, "How did Li Jixiang die, did you have the body examined?"

Lily sighed, and said quietly: "It has been five years since the events of that year, but because the two of them have a good relationship with us, we also inquired about it on purpose. The Li family personally collected Mr. Li's body , and did not let other people touch it, but the people who reported the case said that the blood was all over the house at that time, and the bride was frightened crazy."

"It seems that we have to go to Li's house." Jin Haoxuan said.

Lin Ziqian nodded: "That's fine." Turning to Baihe and Yu Cui, he said, "We will investigate this matter carefully, and of course it will not spread to the outside world. You can rest assured. We still have something to do, so let's go first."

The two girls bent down, Lin Ziqian and Jin Haoxuan came out of Xinghualou, the sky was completely dark, he breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Ziqian said: "There must be a lot of unsolved things in this case, I'm afraid it won't be solved for a while open."

Seeing Lin Ziqian's frown, Jin Haoxuan persuaded: "Don't think too much, it's getting late, let's go back first."

Lin Ziqian looked up at Jin Haoxuan for a while, only to see Jin Haoxuan's face was strange, he blushed and asked: "You, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at me for?"

Lin Ziqian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but held back the words on his lips, looked away at the dimly lit street, and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, let's go."

Jin Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Ziqian always thought about others and never set his sights on him. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but he felt inexplicably unwilling.
