My wife is beautiful

Qian Shangshu lost his beloved son in his later years, and he seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and his anger also rose. After taking care of his son's body, he sent it to the capital, and when he turned around, he scolded Mr. Zhao.He also ordered Mr. Zhao to solve the case as soon as possible. The deadline was ten days before he returned to the capital to report on his duties. He threatened that if he could not solve the case and take down the murderer, Mr. Zhao would just wait to take off his official skin.

Mr. Zhao is also full of anger, don't vent your anger on others when you lose your son.Going home angrily, entering the room, Li Qingshu was leaning on the bed and reading a book, a small snow-white lump on the brocade quilt curled up beside him, Li Qingyan stretched out his hand to smooth the kitten's fur from time to time, Mr. Zhao jumped up On fire, pointing at the kitten with resentment on his face.

"Li Qingshu, you let a cat go to bed! You forgot that it's still mine! Bed! Ah!"

Mr. Zhao yelled heart-piercingly, as if the cat had slept with his wife.Li Qingshu didn't take it seriously, "What are you fussing about with a cat? I can put it down, right?" As he said, he put the kitten on the carpet, his voice was softer than talking to Mr. Zhao. Much softer, "Go play, be good~~"

The kitten meowed aggrievedly, and walked out the door with cat steps and turned her head three times under Mr. Zhao's resentful gaze, pitiful.Mr. Zhao was exhausted and had a bad temper again. He turned his face away and refused to talk to others. Li Qingshu smiled and asked him to take a bath first, then went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Mr. Zhao was lying in the tub, surrounded by mist, but fell asleep after a while.

Hearing the small sound of closing the door, Mr. Zhao woke up suddenly. There seemed to be someone behind him. Mr. Zhao thought it was Li Qingshu, and immediately regained his spirits. He peeked over from the corner of his eyes, his ears turned red, and asked in a serious tone: "You... ...What are you doing here...Ah! Who are you? Help!"

As soon as he looked back, the shyness on Mr. Zhao's face instantly turned into panic. The person in front of him was not his beautiful wife, but it was clearly the young man he had met in the morning—Jin Haoxuan.

Master Zhao hurriedly grabbed the clothes on the side to cover his body and yelled, Jin Haoxuan was a little nervous, he didn't expect that Master Zhao was taking a bath at this time, and Master Zhao was shouting so loudly, for fear of attracting someone, Jin Haoxuan made a gesture to cover Master Zhao's body Mouth.

Before he could move, the door was kicked open. Li Qingshu stood in front of the door, whose face was as deep as water and whose shape was as heavy as a god Buddha. Why did you spy on my husband taking a bath?"

Jin Haoxuan quickly waved his hands to explain, with a righteous face to show his purity, "I didn't... I didn't mean it! You trust me!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingshu struck at him, and slashed his palm with a gust of wind. Jin Haoxuan didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to look thin and fragile, but she had good physical and internal strength, so he immediately raised his hand withstand.

With a sullen expression on his face, Li Qingshu led Jin Haoxuan out of the house, picked up a stick beside him and started beating him.

One after another, they came to Jin Haoxuan with sticks, and the wind was raging like a tiger, and there was no way to avoid it. It seemed chaotic and irregular, but Jin Haoxuan couldn't dodge it, and even tripped over many flowerpots in the courtyard, and the flowerpots were broken. On the ground, Mr. Zhao's beloved peony was also trampled to pieces.

Jin Haoxuan, who practiced martial arts since childhood, didn't know that this beautiful Mrs. Zhao was clearly a master of martial arts.

Jin Haoxuan couldn't resist under three or two sticks, but he faintly felt that Mrs. Zhao's stick technique was exquisite, and he was very envious in his heart.But there is something strange, Li Qingshu holds the middle part of the stick, and uses the end of the stick as an attack, stabbing and sweeping, just like some exquisite stick technique, but there are eighteen more weapons, Jin Haoxuan, who was born as an official since childhood It feels like using a gun.

Even though Jin Haoxuan practiced martial arts since he was a child, with a tall stature and an iron fist, he still couldn't avoid the consequences and was unable to resist. He was completely overwhelmed by Li Qingshu's strength. Don't listen, just vent your anger.It wasn't until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen that he heard two voices at the same time.

"stop!"

One voice came from Zhao Huaijing who came out after getting dressed, and the other voice came from another boy who rushed in from outside the courtyard.Li Qingshu had fought enough, his opponent had no ability to counterattack, so he played a beautiful arc with a stick and closed it behind him.

Jin Haoxuan saw Li Qingshu's "staff technique" clearly at this moment, and suddenly realized that he didn't feel any pain, instead he just sat on the ground and looked at Li Qingshu with strange eyes.

Mr. Zhao hurriedly pulled Li Qingshu over, first checked whether he was injured, but then said anxiously: "You didn't beat him to death, did you?"

Li Qingshu answered with a sideways head, frowning slightly, "I have a sense of proportion."

Another boy, that is, Lin Ziqian hurriedly helped Jin Haoxuan who was in a panic in the chaos mixed with soil, flowers, and broken flower pots. Worried, "Haoxuan, are you okay?"

Jin Haoxuan shook his head blankly, then looked at Li Qingshu adoringly, pushed away Lin Ziqian's hand that was supporting him, and said excitedly to Li Qingshu, "I'm fine... By the way, which marksmanship is Madam Zhao using? Amazing!"

Li Qingshu's expression changed instantly, and he immediately dropped the stick silently.Mr. Zhao glanced at him, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Jin, no matter why you two sneaked into my house, you dare to hurt my wife. It is too much! Mr. Jin, although I am only a six-year-old Grade officials, but at least they are appointed by the imperial court, how can you embarrass me by doing this!"

Lin Ziqian, who has always been praised for his arrogance, is also aggressive: "Master Zhao, it seems that the most injured person is Haoxuan, and your wife is not injured at all!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshu fell weakly into Mr. Zhao's arms. Mr. Zhao also widened his eyes, and unconsciously wrapped his hands around his slender waist. His heart beat faster, and he stared blankly at Li Qingshu, who was holding his forehead weakly. Said: "Huaijing, I'm so dizzy..."

Lin Ziqian was speechless for a while, and it was written on his face that this person is playing a scoundrel!

Jin Haoxuan quickly pulled him behind him, still with a happy face, and sincerely apologized, "I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean it, Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I'm really sorry."

Lord Zhao hugged his wife tightly, squinted at the mess in the courtyard, lamented and said angrily: "My Clivia, my Greedy Spring, and my Wei Zi, Yao Huang, and Zhao Fan , Shuang Qiao... Jin Haoxuan, you have no sincerity at all, how can I trust you?"

Jin Haoxuan didn't want to understand what Mr. Zhao was talking about. He was not a flower lover either. He only knew that those were flower names. Thinking that Mr. Zhao loved those flowers so much, Jin Haoxuan asked softly, "Ziqian, did you bring any money?" ?”

Lin Ziqian took out a handful of banknotes from his bosom in a daze, and it seemed that there were quite a lot, so he probably gave him all his own banknotes, handed them over and asked, "I have brought them, why are you here?"

Jin Haoxuan took the silver ticket with a smile, and handed it to Mr. Zhao and his wife with full sincerity, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to damage Mr. Zhao's flower, the money here should be used as an apology, how about it?"

Master Zhao was also stunned, Li Qingshu didn't pretend to be dizzy, his eyes lit up, he stood up straight and took the bank note without saying a word, and said with a smile, "Forget it, I forgive you."

Mr. Zhao frowned unhappily, and felt even more reluctant in his heart, he scolded Li Qingshu who was counting the bank notes, "How could you do this! How could you accept money from Mr. Jin!?"

Master Zhao was heartbroken when he asked, Jin Haoxuan quickly waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I should do it... I have been taught from my family since I was a child, that if you damage other people's property, you should return it ten times."

Mr. Zhao sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Then your family is really rich." He snatched the banknote from Li Qingshu's hand, patted the back of his hand earnestly and said, "Okay, don't count it, the money is worthless." It was paid to me, the flowers were raised by me, and you were also raised by me."

Jin Haoxuan and Lin Ziqian: "..."

Is this a show of affection in broad daylight?Is it right?yes...

Li Qingshu stared at the banknote and put it into Mr. Zhao's pocket, so he had no choice but to let it go.He turned around sullenly and made a gesture to leave, "Then I'll prepare tea, and you all go to the living room to have a good chat?"

Jin Haoxuan paused, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Mrs. Zhao."

Master Zhao sneered from the bottom of his heart, hypocrisy!Who are you trying to please?

After all sat down in the front hall, Mr. Zhao asked why, "I don't know why Mr. Jin is visiting?"

Jin Haoxuan and Lin Ziqian looked at each other, holding their swollen faces and unable to speak properly.

Lin Ziqian opened his mouth knowingly and said, "Master Zhao, we are here this time for the case of Qian Li and Zhong Ming. Uncle Qian has already agreed to take over this case. We are just here to hand over the matter and see if Master Zhao has discovered anything. "

Lin Ziqian came from a scholarly family. He was praised for his intelligence since he was a child, and he spoke arrogantly. He even looked at people with his chin raised. Mr. Zhao couldn't get used to it. He shook his head and replied: "I didn't find anything. The two of you are from legends." Even the masters of the capital, who spend their days together with Qian Li and Zhong Ming, can't find any clues?"

Hearing that Lin Ziqian's arrogance disappeared, he lowered his head and said in frustration, "I didn't find anything unusual."

Li Qingshu came in, and after ordering the servants to serve tea, he still held the medicine bottle in his hand and asked Jin Haoxuan kindly, "Young Master Jin, would you like some medicine? Let me help you."

Jin Haoxuan raised the corner of his mouth, touched the red and swollen corner of his mouth, gasped, and said vaguely: "Crab crab, no need, let me remember..."

Seeing this, Lin Ziqian reluctantly took the medicine bottle, "I'll do it."

Lin Ziqian applied a cooling ointment to Jin Haoxuan, and after applying it, the redness and swelling disappeared a lot. He secretly sighed the miraculous effect of the medicine, but his movements were still gentle and gentle, and he was focused and did not dare to neglect.

Mr. Zhao was not in a hurry, he drank tea and ate snacks leisurely, Li Qingshu talked to him in a low voice, Mr. Zhao kept a straight face from time to time, but Li Qingshu laughed frequently, seeing the love of the husband and wife envied others .

After Lin Ziqian finished applying the medicine, he quietly interrupted the two of them: "Master Zhao, we need your help."

"Please speak." Mr. Zhao was dissatisfied that someone interrupted his conversation with his wife, but he still gave enough face.

Lin Ziqian reassured: "Before, Hao Xuan and I agreed that this murderer may be a person with good kung fu. Qian Li and Zhong Ming also practiced some kung fu. But Mrs. Zhao mentioned during the autopsy that the two of them may be It was because they took the drug first, and were taken away and killed while unconscious. We would like to ask Mrs. Zhao, if they know what drug they are in? Is it hard to find?"

It was Li Qingshu who asked this question, and he replied: "Qian Li's body has been soaked in the river for two days, and the signs of traditional Chinese medicine have long since disappeared, and Zhong Ming, there is still some medicine powder in his throat, but I I've seen it, it's just an ordinary drug."

Lin Ziqian was a little disappointed, but he still said politely, "Please trouble Madam Zhao."

"You're welcome." Li Qingshu thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, I don't know if you have heard that this murderer may have come to seek revenge against a few young masters. You have just come to Suzhou not long ago, and you are also born in a different place. I'm familiar with you, but within a few days, two of your companions died."

Lin Ziqian seemed to be touched when he heard the words, but Mr. Zhao suddenly shouted at his beloved wife with a stern face: "Stop talking, you can still say the gossip and gossip outside in front of the two young masters? Come back quickly. room to go."

I don't know if the belt has revived Fu Gang, Mr. Zhao felt a little uneasy, but Li Qingshu just curled his lips, not because he was afraid of Mr. Zhao, but walked out of the hall with a bored expression on his face. Mr. Zhao suddenly felt more depressed. Uneasy.

However, Lin Ziqian felt that what Li Qingshu said made sense, "Master Zhao, what Madam said is not unreasonable. Our group traveled from Luoyang to the south and did not offend any powerful people. Everyone lived in peace along the way. .But those who have had accidents recently are all our people..."

Jin Haoxuan opened his mouth to say something, but gasped for a few breaths before he said: "Lord Zhao, can I ask, where did Mrs. Zhao learn from? Where did she learn marksmanship? I don't have any other intentions, I just appreciate it Heart."

Mr. Zhao came back to his senses when he heard the words, and sneered: "I know that the wind of cutting sleeves in the capital is prevalent. You ask so many questions, do you have any intentions for my wife?"

Jin Haoxuan was stunned, and quickly waved his hands: "No! I really didn't mean that! I just admire Mrs. Zhao's marksmanship! Besides, I'm not a broken sleeve!"

Mr. Zhao didn't believe it, and couldn't stop his face from sneering, "I haven't asked you yet, why don't you leave the main entrance, and sneak into my house by climbing the wall?"

Jin Haoxuan was embarrassed when he heard the words, Lin Ziqian also changed the subject and said: "Forget it, Haoxuan, let's go back first, I'm worried that something will happen to Brother Rong and the others."

Jin Haoxuan nodded his head trustingly, and just so happened, Uncle Zhao came in and said, "Master, there is a Prince Wang Minglang outside the door asking to see you."

Several people were surprised, Wang Minglang was with Jin Haoxuan and the others, Jin Haoxuan and the others had already come to the Zhao residence, and he still came to look for Master Zhao at this time, why?

Mr. Zhao let him in, Wang Minglang held the folding fan with a flustered expression on his face, when he saw Jin and Lin, he said anxiously: "Brother Jin, Brother Lin, Rong Hui is gone!"

Lin Ziqian's words became a prophecy, and something happened to Rong Hui.

Let him explain in detail, Wang Minglang said: "We agreed today that we will find out the truth with Brother Jin and Brother Lin before returning to the capital. We will wait for you to come back at the inn. It is almost dinner time, so I will go upstairs to find someone Brother, but he is gone..."

At that time, Jin Haoxuan and Lin Ziqian went to the Zhao Mansion and asked Wang Minglang and Rong Hui to wait at the inn. Wang Minglang was very happy listening to books downstairs, but Rong Hui had no interest in it. After drinking a cup of tea He said he was sleepy and went back to the room first.Not long after it was time for dinner, Wang Minglang went to call him, but no one responded after knocking on the door for a long time, Wang Minglang thought he was out, so he went out to ask someone.

When passing by the back door, he happened to bump into the vegetable delivery guy who was pulling the cart and was about to leave, so Wang Minglang stepped forward and asked, "Brother, have you seen Rong Hui? It's the one who lives in the inn with me." The son with the jade pendant?"

The guy was in a hurry to leave, so he pulled the car away without looking up and said vaguely that he didn't see it.Wang Minglang asked the people in the inn again, no one at the front door or back door saw him go out, so he went back to the door of Ronghui's room, and with a slight push, the door opened, and then Wang Minglang discovered that Ronghui's Gone.

Master Zhao asked calmly after listening, "Are you sure? There are a lot of people in a place like an inn. Was he really captured by the murderer?"

Lin Ziqian also said: "That's right, think about it carefully, did he go out through the back door, no one saw him, and you didn't notice either?"

"He either went out, or he was killed!" Seeing that no one believed him, Wang Minglang was so anxious that his voice was about to cry.

He thought for a while, and took out a delicate jade pendant from his arms, "Look, this is the Yun Pei that King Yun gave to Rong Hui, and you all know how precious he is to this jade pendant, he never leaves his body for a moment on weekdays Yes! What happened to him that he would even drop this jade pendant? Brother Lin, I'm sure something must have happened to Rong Hui!"

Lin Ziqian took the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, "There are some cracks on this jade pendant. I think it was caused by where it fell. From this point of view..." Lin Ziqian's expression changed immediately, he looked at Master Zhao, and said seriously: "Master Zhao, I believe Brother Wang's words, something may have happened to Brother Rong, please send someone to look for it immediately!"

Mr. Zhao thought that your tone didn't sound like you were begging for help at all, so he stood up and flicked his sleeves, and replied, "Let's look for it, the vegetable delivery boy Wang Minglang mentioned is very suspicious, you go to him first, I will let you People searched the whole city."

Lin Ziqian nodded, and when he got the words, several young people hurried out to find someone.And Mr. Zhao has to go to work again.

Li Qingshu walked in from behind the door, and said intently: "I just said it's not easy."

Mr. Zhao said decisively: "Don't talk nonsense next time!"

No matter how awkward Mr. Zhao is, he seldom talks to him in such a serious tone.Li Qingshu curled his lips, approached Mr. Zhao to straighten his clothes, and said earnestly: "There are some things that the authorities are obsessed with. You have to remind the young people well, otherwise, they will drag you into trouble."

Mr. Zhao said with satisfaction: "No matter what, you don't want to interfere, stay at home and rest early."

Li Qingshu nodded slowly after a while, and said with some difficulty: "I dreamed about my elder brother and sister last night...I always feel uneasy."

Mr. Zhao paused, his face showed a rare gentleness, unlike usual duplicity, he said softly: "Take a break earlier, I'll be leaving first."

Lin Ziqian and others met Mr. Zhao by the riverside. The vegetable transporter was indeed a fake, but when they found the cart, he had already disappeared.

Lin Ziqian said anxiously: "We went late, and the people left long ago."

Mr. Zhao pondered for a while, and then made a decision: "We will immediately search the whole city along the river bank. By the way, we will start searching from the upper reaches. The murderer has a habit of throwing corpses, so he might be near the upper reaches."

Lin Ziqian calmed down a little and nodded immediately.

From sunset to sunrise, Mr. Zhao and all the arresters in the yamen searched the river bank all night with lanterns, but failed.At dawn, near the abandoned Earth Temple on the outskirts of the city, a bloody corpse was found on the edge of the gurgling river beach.

The day before yesterday, he was such a lively person, talking about some beauties with Wang Minglang, but now he was lying coldly in this desolate wilderness where no one cared about him.

Blood was still dripping from the corpse, and there were criss-cross whip marks on his body. Rong Hui's eyes were staring in horror.There is an iron shuttle stuck in front of the chest, but there are some blunt marks on one corner of the body exposed by the shuttle, it is presumed that it was nailed into the body by someone knocking over and over again.

Everyone fell silent, this was the third person to die at the hands of the same murderer.

"We're still late..."

Lin Ziqian and the others stood beside Rong Hui's corpse, not only because they were sad and blamed themselves, but also because their arrogance was crushed to pieces in the only head-to-head confrontation with the murderer.

Mr. Zhao rubbed his chin, and speculated: "Don't you think it's strange? The murderer whips the corpse every time. We searched for it all night, and he should have been hiding all night. At this moment, he didn't even have time to throw the corpse into the river I ran away, but I still didn’t forget to flog the corpse. You said, this is a special hobby? Or, in the murderer’s mind, is this a ritual that must be completed?”

"Ritual?" Jin Haoxuan and the others didn't understand again.

Mr. Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know and couldn't answer, and said quietly: "I suggest you think about it carefully, who have you offended recently? Or, in the process of playing, have you ever seen someone using a whip? Who did you whip? And as it happened, he died? Of course, that's just a guess."

The expressions of the three people changed, and the truth seemed to be revealed faintly, but at this moment, Wang Minglang blurted out with a flustered expression: "No, this is impossible, impossible..."

Everyone was looking at him, Mr. Zhao hurriedly asked, "What's impossible?"

Wang Minglang's expression was a little dazed, and when Mr. Zhao asked, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's okay, it's okay..." His voice became softer and softer, even Lin Ziqian and Jin Haoxuan felt a little strange.

"Brother Wang, is there really nothing happening that we don't know about?"

"No...no..." Wang Minglang shook his head blankly, and as if trying to cover up, he asked back: "We are traveling together all the way, what do you not know?"

If he hadn't seen Wang Minglang's dodging eyes, Mr. Zhao would have believed it. This person definitely had a ghost in his heart. If Mr. Zhao didn't expose it, Lin Ziqian's intelligence should have seen it, and he looked at Wang Minglang a little bit. sub-exploration.

At this time, Wang Butou came back with the yamen servants, and there were no suspects in the vicinity, but they appeared, and after the examination of Rong Hui's body, the fishermen started a new day of work, and at this time people began to approach Come and watch the fun.It can be explained that the murderer abandoned the body because he was afraid that the fishermen would see it, or maybe someone tipped off the news and let the murderer go first?

Of course, this is just Mr. Zhao's guess. There is not enough evidence, so he can't tell the truth yet.After running all night, there was still no result, and another victim was added.Mr. Zhao stretched his waist, walked on the way back, and sighed: "Oh, there is one more dead person today, maybe we have to continue tomorrow, let's all go back and have a good rest..."

It seemed horrifying to say so, Wang Minglang's eyes shrank a little when he heard it, and he looked at the body of Rong Hui who was covered by a white cloth and carried by the police with a guilty conscience.Lin Ziqian also noticed it, thinking about something.Even the way Jin Haoxuan looked at Wang Minglang was a bit strange.
