Fox Qianming

Eyeballs of about the same size stared straight at Gong.

Glancing at the half-monster respectfully, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said disdainfully, "What am I supposed to be, but a formless corpse-devouring monster?"

Hearing the words, the half-monster grinned open its broken mouth covered in black blood, revealing its white fangs, and said with a smile, "Ghoul-eating monster? You know that fresh human flesh is what I love the most!"

After all, the half-monster opened Tim It's broken mouth, swallowed and continued: "Especially the skin and flesh of young men like the two of you are extremely delicious!"

But Jian Gong's eyes suddenly turned into ice blue, and he looked at the half-monster with cold eyes, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Want to eat me? Just relying on vulgar people like you, even if you practice for another thousand years Worse than a hair of mine."

"I bother!"

Hearing the words, the half-monster said angrily: "You are so arrogant! How dare you look down on me. Even if Zhang Daoling, the celestial master, is alive, he dare not do anything to me!"

It would be better not to mention it, but when Zhang Daoling was mentioned, Gong became angry from the heart, but when he saw him turned into a fox and a half-human, he shouted at the corpse devourer who didn't know what to do: "You evil beast! Zhang Daoling dare not do anything to you , but I dare!"

The Corpse Devourer couldn't believe how the man in front of him became like this in a blink of an eye...

This look? !

The Corpse Devourer widened its protruding eyeballs a bit: ice blue eyes, a single ruby ​​earring, a moon-white costume, long black hair, silver...

It couldn't help shivering, and shouted in its heart: Could it be...he is...!The legendary ancient monster that was sealed by the celestial master Zhang Daoling? !

Mother!Didn't I lift a rock and shoot myself in the foot!

The Corpse Devourer became more and more frightened when he thought about it, but when he saw it knelt down on the ground with a "plop-" and kowtowed to Xue Qianming, he kowtowed and said, "Grandpa! The little one has eyes but no eyes, I don't know if it's you!" The old man is here... If you like that corpse, you can take it. If this is not enough, there are many small ones, male, female, old, young, handsome, ugly...whatever you want What is it like..."

Xue Qianming frowned and said angrily, "Shut up!"

The half-monster was drank by him, and immediately closed its broken mouth tightly. Although the incomplete lips were a little tight, it did not dare to speak anymore.

"You must leave this town before dawn! Get lost as far as you can! If I see you again, you will be wiped out in ashes."

Xue Qianming also had no intention of destroying it, but the smell of this half-monster is really unpleasant, leaving it here would be a disgrace.In other words, if Wen Ruo saw it someday, he wouldn't be so frightened that he passed out!

When the Corpse Devourer heard this, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He really regretted that he would provoke him because of that dispensable little corpse.

But seeing it move its broken mouth, it wanted to say something, but seeing Xue Qianming's appearance of wanting to tear himself into pieces, before he could say it, he swallowed it back.

If this monster gets unlucky, it's no worse than a human.

Originally, I thought I could have a delicious meal, but who said: stealing chickens doesn't cost you money.

Now let alone eating, there is no place to stay...

Taking a moment, he secretly glanced at the sleeping person on the bed, that white and tender little face, as if water could be squeezed out with just a pinch... Thinking about it, it unconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

But once he saw Xue Qianming, he didn't dare to think about anything...

Xue Qianming was furious when it peeked at Wen Ruo, but he yelled angrily, "Get out!"

"Grandpa, calm down! Grandpa, calm down! Get out of here, little one, get out of here..."

The phagocytic hurriedly backed away while kowtowing in panic.

After the corpse devourer left, Xue Qianming sat next to Wen Ruo again, brushing his fingernails across his cheeks, Xue Qianming said to himself: "Delicious?!"

But Xue Qianming bowed his head, put his face close to Wen Ruo's, and smelled it over and over again.

Xue Qianming is very familiar with his taste and likes it very much.

Suddenly, he stuck out his tongue and smacked Wen Ruo's cheek, and it slowly fell to his lips, all the way down to his neck.

His tongue slowly licked Wen Ruo's neck, making Wen Ruo itchy.But seeing him who hadn't woken up yet, he frowned, wanting to scratch the place Xue Qianming had touched.

Then he waved his hand vigorously.

I only heard a crisp sound of "pa--".Wen Ruo's hand, coincidentally, slapped Xue Qianming's face.

No.13 Looking back at the autopsy

This sudden blow, to Xue Qianming, didn't hurt at all, but it was a little unexpected, since he was born, he had never been beaten like this...

He grabbed Wen Ruo's wrist, and Wen Ruo's slender wrist would break instantly if he exerted a little force.

The pain from the wrist made Wen Ruo frowned unconsciously, and wanted to withdraw the hand held by Xue Qianming, but the more he twisted, the more painful it became.

"Congratulations! What are you doing!"

Wen Ruo, who was awakened by the pain, opened his eyes to darkness, and felt that his wrist was being strangled by someone. Without thinking about it, he guessed it must be Gong.

Xue Qianming, who had changed back the moment Wen Ruo woke up, still didn't let go of his hand, he said, "You hit me just now."

"..."

Wen Ruo secretly wondered if he was scratching his itch in his dream, but accidentally hit him?

Well, that must be the case.

After confirming it, Wen Ruo said with a smile: "Don't worry about your unintentional mistake, will I make an apology to you?"

When Xue Qianming heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "How dare you ask your lord to make amends!"

"Gong, aren't you and I brothers? Why are you so out of touch! Um...can you turn on the lamp? It's too dark in the room."

Only then did Xue Qianming let go of his hand, went to the table, lightly waved his hand, and lit the candle.

Suddenly there was light, Wen Ruo narrowed his eyes a little uncomfortable, bent down, and put on his shoes and socks, but he was surprised to find that his originally sprained ankle hadn't been in a single night, and it didn't hurt at all. Not swollen anymore!But seeing him scrutinizing it carefully for a long time, he couldn't understand it.

He raised his head again, stared at Xue Qianming for a long time before asking: "Do you know medical skills?"

Xue Qianming shook his head and replied, "I don't understand."

Wen Ruo sat cross-legged on the bed, raised her eyebrows slightly, and held her chin, thinking.

But I heard him talking to himself: "How come...it's impossible...I can't figure it out...a hallucination?" He then pinched his thigh, "It hurts, it's not a dream. What's the matter?" The same thing? Could it be that the previous ones were dreams?"

Xue Qianming couldn't help but said: "With your wisdom, even if you think about it, you won't understand it!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo jumped up from the bed and said, "How can I not understand! It's just a little unbelievable! If my feeling is the same, then you are the one who lied to me!"

Xue Qianming heard the words, approached him and said: "Your Excellency, I would like to hear the details."

Wen Ruo winked at Xue Qianming, and said with a smile: "You must be the one who healed my foot injury, although I don't know what kind of magic formula you used... But since you don't want to admit it, I will force others to make things difficult for me. Presumably you don’t want others to know that there must be something unspeakable.”

Xue Qianming said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really wise!"

Wen Ruo said again: "My lord still has more powerful features, and you will gradually find out in the future!"

Xue Qianming suddenly grabbed Wen Ruo's hand, and said softly, "My lord, aren't you afraid of rumors that the Yamen is haunted?"

Wen Ruo answered, "This ghost is not that ghost. Gong, can you help me get these things before dawn?"

Xue Qianming asked: "What?"

Wen Ruo responded, "Straw mat, wine, vinegar, and charcoal."

Xue Qianming said: "These are easy to handle, I can prepare them for you right now."

Wen Ruo said: "Also, I need a pit five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep."

Xue Qianming smiled: "It's not difficult. If you need it, it can be done in no time."

Wen Ruo heard this and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have to look at the skeleton first. But...Gong, you do have many advantages..."

Xue Qianming also smiled, imitating Wen Ruo's words just now, and said: "I have more strengths, and you will gradually know about it in the future!"

Wen Ruo said: "My lord will wait and see. Gong, you can bring that skeleton in."

"Aren't you afraid anymore?"

Wen Ruo took a deep breath and said, "I can't change this fear, but right now I just want to understand something."

After Xue Qianming responded, he walked out the door, and after a while, he carried the rag bag into the house.

In order to see it more clearly, Wen Ruo lit two more lamps, and the rag bag was opened, and inside was a complete set of skeletons, without any signs of fracture.

Although Wen Ruo had made great determination, he still didn't dare to touch the skeleton, but he said: "Gong, help me to see, the skull of this skeleton has a total of several parts from the top of the head to the two ears and the back of the head." piece? When the straightness goes down to the hairline, can there be another straight seam?"

Xue Qianming held the skull, glanced at it, and replied: "From the top of the head to the ears and the back of the head, there are eight pieces in total. When it goes straight down to the hairline, there is indeed another straight seam, and there is a horizontal seam behind the head."

Wen Ruo heard the words, nodded and said: "That's it, this is the man's skeleton... The woman has only six pieces from the top of the head to the two ears and the back of the head, and there is no seam under the straight. This skeleton is complete. , without any damage, and without any clothes remaining...after the dawn of the day, the cause of his death can be determined."

Xue Qianming asked: "Are you investigating the fire incident in the Yamen?"

"Well." Wen Ruo said: "I just want to know the cause and effect. There are ghosts in the Yamen. There are too many rumors like this, which is not good."

Xue Qianming said: "If it's really artificial, aren't you worried about your own life?"

Wen Ruo said with a smile: "I don't want to kill me, I just want to scare or drive me away. Because of this, I am curious and want to understand."

Xue Qianming said: "It will be dawn soon, I will go and prepare all the things you want for you."

Wen Ruo stopped him and said, "Don't tell them what I told you just now. If they ask about the corpse, you can say that it is the yamen servant who was burned to death in the yamen."

"You believe me?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"intuition."

"..."

No.14 Back to the bones to tell the past

When Xue Qianming left the equipment and was digging a hole, Wen Ruo kept remembering the prison inspections he had read in the book earlier in the room.

Wen Ruo never mentioned to others that he had the ability of photographic memory, but he saw that he had gone through the examination of the steamed bones and various corpse injuries in his heart.

He firmly believes that the bones will never lie, even if they have been tampered with, as long as the examiner is careful, the truth will definitely be revealed.

When I was young, I saw Xue Qianming push the door and said: "The things you need are ready. There is not one hour left before dawn, do you want to wait?"

Wen Ruo smiled and said, "No, it's the right time."

He looked at Xue Qianming and paused for a while, then continued: "Gong, I'm tired. When everything comes to light, whatever reward you want, as long as I can do it, I will give it to you."

When Xue Qianming heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this true?"

Wen Ruo stood up, opened the door, and replied, "Of course it is true! There is no falsehood."

Xue Qianming lifted the bones, walked over, and smiled at Wen Ruo: "Since there is such a good thing, I have to think about it!"

Wen Ruo followed Xue Qianming to the inner court, but saw that an earth pit with the same size as required had been prepared, with straw mats placed around it, a large altar each of wine and vinegar, and some charcoal.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ruo was shocked, he looked at Xue Qianming suspiciously, and thought to himself: He didn't have time to go out for a cup of tea, how could he prepare all these things so quickly?For such a huge pit, even if two men dig it at the same time, it will take a lot of time...

But he took a closer look at Xue Qianming, and saw that he was spotless. Wen Ruo suddenly took Xue Qianming's hand, spread his palm, and stroked his palm with his fingers.

He frowned and asked, "Gong, don't hide it from me. How did you dig out this hole?"

When Xue Qianming heard this, he realized that he had been careless for a while and had forgotten that ordinary people's abilities are limited.But seeing him calmly said: "I have abnormal physical strength, presumably it's because I have entered the Taoist sect before."

Wen Ruo doubted: "Oh? Is there really a Taoist sect in this world?"

Xue Qianming nodded and replied: "Why not? I don't think Zhang Daoling in the Han Dynasty came from Taoism!"

Wen Ruo smiled and said: "That was all a thousand years ago. Who said that the story of Zhang Tianshi was a rumor? However, I also believe it. However, your ability that is different from ordinary people really surprised me."

Xue Qianming smiled: "I have already said something beforehand, I still have more strengths, and you will gradually find out in the future!"

Wen Ruo blinked at him and said: "You will be able to see my master's ability in a while, this time is just a small test."

After all, Wen Ruo asked Xue Qianming to wash the bones with clean water first, and then put the bones of each part of the body in order and put them on a mat.

Then put charcoal in the pit and burn it until the ground in the pit turns red, and remove the fire.Then use two liters of wine and five liters of vinegar, pour them into the earth pit, then take advantage of the heat to lift the bones into the pit, and then cover them with straw mats.

Xue Qianming looked at this strange way and asked: "Is it like this?"

Wen Ruo said: "This is just a process. Wait for the bones to steam for about an hour or two, and when the ground is cold, remove the straw mat, lift the bones out, and put them in a flat and bright place."

Suddenly Wen Ruo said in shock: "Oh! Why did I forget one thing...Gong, where is the red oil umbrella here?"

"If your lord wants a red oil umbrella, there is one in this yamen. It was left by the former master, but it has been left there."

Only Ye Ming's voice could be heard coming from behind the two of them.

Wen Ruo turned around, slightly surprised, and asked, "Why did Master Ye come to the yamen at such an hour?"

Ye Ming replied: "Your Excellency is so conscientious, how can I, as a teacher, take time off."

When Ye Ming approached, he looked at the situation on the ground and asked, "Does your lord know how to steam bones?"

Wen Ruo said with a smile: "It's all just talk on paper, and it has never been verified... I think Master Ye understands this too."

But Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I just saw Wu used this method earlier. Didn't your lord just want to find a red oil umbrella? I'll get it right away. My lord, wait a moment."

Wen Ruo said, "Master Ye is here."

Ye Ming bowed and stepped back.

Until the ground was cold, it was already the time of "cooking", but Xue Qianming carried out the steamed bones and placed them under the early morning sun.

Wen Ruo opened the red oil umbrella, approached the bones, and covered the oil umbrella on the bones. Starting from the skull, it slowly moved to the phalanx, and many faint red lines appeared.

I saw a long purple-black halo on the upper right back of the skull, and many small round or elongated blue halos on the two ribs and other places.

After careful inspection, Wen Ruo put away the red oil umbrella, sighed a long time, and his expression became dignified.

"What's the matter? What are those things?"

Ye Ming was surprised to see so many red lines and bruising halos appearing on the original white bones, and couldn't help asking.

Wen Ruo said: "Did you see that the long purple-black halo on the skull was caused by someone hitting the deceased with a hard object like a stick, look at the color of the halo, and those red halos just now. Wen, this injury is probably fatal. This heavy blow caused intracranial hemorrhage..."

Wen Ruo pointed to the ribs of the corpse and said: "These small bluish halos, the round ones are caused by fist blows..."

Xue Qianming just listened to what Wen Ruo said expressionlessly. Unlike Xue Qianming, Ye Ming was more surprised.

"Master Ye, when did the fire happen?"

"I don't know what year the fire happened. It was five or six years ago in Shaoxing..."

I saw the jailer's fourth son looking at the corpse on the ground and talking silently.

He just saw fireworks in the inner courtyard early in the morning, and was startled, so he hurried over. From a distance, he saw Wen Ruo and Xue Qianming preparing to steam the bones. He was relieved, and he didn't leave, so he quietly Watching from the sidelines... It wasn't until Wen Ruo asked that question that he couldn't help but say it.

Wen Ruo knew that the fourth brother was watching, so he asked, "Fourth uncle, who was working here back then, do you remember?"

No.15 Meat buns make trouble

"That was an official who was relegated to Nancui Town. As for his name, I can't remember... It's just strange to say that he died suddenly at home within a few days after the yamen was caught on fire... ..."

The fourth child was talking dully, Wen Ruo listened, and asked, "How did he die? Is there any record about it in the Yamen?"

Seeing that the fourth child shook his head, he replied, "I'm just a little jailer, I really don't know much about these things. It's just Mr. Wen, what's the point of bringing up these old things?"

Wen Ruo said: "I just figured out why there are such rumors in the Yamen."

Ye Ming said: "Then do you have any clues? Could it be that it is really a ghost?"

Wen Ruo glanced at the corpse, and said silently: "There are some things that I haven't sorted out...something that connects all these events together..."

But he suddenly turned around, squatted down by the pool, cleaned his hands, and said: "It's getting late, you go and do your own work, and I'll go outside to relax."

Ye Ming made a bow and asked, "Then I wonder how my lord will deal with this corpse?"

Wen Ruo stood up when he heard the words, and said, "Find a place and bury him well."

"Yes, I understand."

Wen Ruo turned her head and said to Xue Qianming, "Gong, accompany me for a walk outside."

Xue Qianming didn't say much, but saw him walking behind Wen Ruo, and followed him out of the Yamen.

As soon as he stepped out of the Yamen, Wen Ruo looked up, stretched his arms, stretched his body, and said with a smile, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go, let's go find something to eat and sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Zangs."

"..."

Wen Ruo looked around as he walked: "Although I have lived here for ten years, I don't know what to eat here... It's ridiculous to say that I would have nothing to do with the fire incident in the Yamen six years ago." heard."

He suddenly stopped, looked at Xue Qianming, stretched out his hand to support his chin, frowned and thought: "There is one more thing that I have never understood, why are there tiny tooth marks on that corpse? The tooth marks that look like animals, some like... some like human..."

"It's a ghoul."

"Eh?!" Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Xue Qianming said: "A kind of corpse monster that feeds on human flesh. It likes to live in graveyards or mass graves. They..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ruo covered Xue Qianming's mouth tightly: "Stop...don't go on...You're making my stomach churn. Just pretend I didn't ask!"

Xue Qianming took his hand away from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Have you thought about what to eat? I once heard Caizi say that there is a century-old bun shop here, which is good."

Wen Ruo waved his hand, frowned and said, "I don't have any appetite right now...you can walk with me casually."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianming took Wen Ruo's arm and walked away regardless of Sanqi 21, but he said with a smile: "I'm really hungry, and I helped the lord to run back and forth, the lord promised me earlier, I don't ask for anything, as long as the adults treat me to a bun."

"..."

Losing strength to Xue Qianming, Wen Ruo had no choice but to let him drag her towards the century-old steamed stuffed bun shop.

As soon as a customer arrived, the shop assistant greeted him with a smile: "Two guest officers, please come inside!"

Xue Qianming pulled Wen Ruo to find a slightly quiet place to sit down, the shop assistant said with a smile: "What do you guys like to eat? The steamed stuffed buns in this shop are famous far and wide!"

Wen Ruo glanced at the crowd who were feasting nearby, and then asked, "Do you have vegetarian buns here?"

The store mate hurriedly said: "Yes, there are! There are all kinds of plain steamed stuffed buns. I don't know which kind the guest officer wants?"

"I want……"

"You don't need steamed stuffed buns, serve us meaty steamed stuffed buns! Any kind of meat is fine...as long as it's not human meat steamed stuffed buns!"

Before Wen Ruo could speak, Xue Qianming spoke first.

When the shop assistant heard this, he said with a smile: "This man is joking, how can there be human meat buns in our shop. Wait a moment, the meat buns will be served right away!"

After all, the shop assistant will retreat.

Wen Ruo whispered angrily: "Gong! How dare you tease me!"

Xue Qianming smiled and said, "How dare you, it's just that I've never been a vegetarian."

"..."

Xue Qianming suppressed his smile, and continued: "You should also eat more meat, so that you will have strength! Besides, you are not a monk who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name. What kind of vegetarian buns do you eat early in the morning?"

Wen Ruo thought: "Then I don't blame you all, you told me about the corpse-eating monster early in the morning... how can I swallow it!"

In a short time, the shop assistant came forward with two baskets of steaming steamed buns and said, "Two baskets of meat buns, please take it slowly, two guests."

Xue Qianming picked up a bun with a smile, broke it open, and handed it to Wen Ruo, "It's very fresh, eat it quickly."

Wen Ruo didn't pick it up, and it didn't work if he didn't pick it up. He looked at the oily minced meat, his mind was full of monsters eating the corpse, and his internal organs seemed to be mixed together. He couldn't help retching. stand up.

Seeing Wen Ruo's appearance, Xue Qianming deliberately frowned and said, "You really can't eat?"

Wen Ruo covered her mouth and shook her head at him.

Xue Qianming handed the opened bun to his mouth, took a big bite, and said with a smile, "It's a well-deserved century-old shop, not bad! You really don't want to try it?"

But Wen Ruo stood up and said: "You eat here slowly, I'll go outside for a walk, the greasy smell here makes people uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Xue Qianming put down the bun in his hand and said, "I'll accompany you."

Wen Ruo said: "Aren't you very hungry? Why don't you eat?"

Xue Qianming glanced at the steamed stuffed buns on the table, and replied, "You don't like staying here, so I'll just eat as I walk."

After finishing speaking, he asked the shop assistant to wrap the buns in paper for him.After Wen Ruo paid the money, the two of them left the store.Before he had gone far, Wen Ruo suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

"What's wrong?"

Wen Ruo doubted, "I just walked by a person in front of me just now, and it looks familiar... But, it's unlikely... Forget it, it must be a moment of blurred vision."

"Gululu—Gulu—"

Only an indecent sound came from Wen Ruo's belly, Wen Ruo stroked her belly, and smiled awkwardly at Xue Qianming.

Xue Qianming stuffed the steamed stuffed bun into his hand and said, "You said you're not hungry, eat it quickly. Don't worry, it's not filled with human meat, I tasted it."

"..."

Originally, Wen Ruo gradually forgot about that matter, but Xue Qianming mentioned it like this, Wen Ruo couldn't bear it anymore.But seeing him put the steamed stuffed bun back into Xue Qianming's hand, he ran to the corner and vomited uncontrollably, because his stomach was already empty, it was just retching.

Xue Qianming sighed, walked over, patted him on the back, and said, "Are you okay?"

Wen Ruo frowned deeply and said, "It's nothing...as long as you don't mention that meat word again."

Xue Qianming smiled and said, "Just don't mention it."

"Lord Wen! Gong, why are you here?"

I saw Ah Fa coming from the corner and saw the two of them.But his gaze instantly fell on Xue Qianming's hand, he swallowed and said, "Gong..."

Xue Qianming handed the steamed buns to Ah Fa and said, "You can eat them, adults don't like these."

Ah Fa snatched the buns, took a big bite out of one, and said with satisfaction, "This bun is my favorite, especially the meat bun, juicy and delicious..."

The greasy smell of meat... and the lingering image in his mind... Before Ah Fa finished speaking, Wen Ruo retched again.

"Huh?" Ah Fa said in shock: "Your Excellency hates meat and fish, it must be because of joy!"

"Puchi-"

"..."

No.16 Tracing Nancui Yamen

Wen Ruo glared at Ah Fa angrily and said, "Ah Fa! You don't need to think about it when you speak, how can a man be happy!"

Ah Fa muttered while chewing on the steamed stuffed bun: "Master Wen, if you pretended to be a woman, you would definitely compare to the top card in Fengyue Tower..."

Wen Ruo's face twitched a little, but he calmed down and said, "Ah Fa, are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, I'll leave it to you to patrol the streets later! You might as well drop by Look at the girl in Fengyue Tower."

Unexpectedly, when Ah Fa heard the words, he cheerfully said: "I and the rich man are doing this street patrolling! But, having said that, Mr. Wen really has good eyesight, and he can see at a glance that I am a good hand patrolling the street." But I’ve seen all the girls in Fengyue Tower, except for that girl Mengrong, the others are really not that good.”

"..."

It is a headache for Wen Ruo to have subordinates like this.

Ah Fa raised his head to look at the sun, and said in surprise: "My lord, it's getting late, I should go patrolling the streets, otherwise I should be nagged by the rich man again today."

After finishing speaking, Ah Fa ran away in a hurry.

Xue Qianming asked Wen Ruo, "Where do you want to go shopping?"

Wen Ruo thought for a while before saying: "Gong, if you think that if you kill someone, there are many ways to destroy the body and traces, under what circumstances would you use fire?"

Xue Qianming heard the words and said without thinking: "There are too many traces left at the scene, otherwise it was to turn the accident into an accident."

Wen Ruo nodded and said with a smile: "Well, what you said is true...Gong, I think where we should go now."

After finishing speaking, Wen Ruo turned around and walked away as if relieved of a heavy burden. Dressed in white, he was bathed in the warm sunlight, like that white lotus that was refined from the world, making people want to pick it up and watch it alone...

Xue Qianming took a quick step, caught up with Wen Ruo, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wen Ruo smiled and said, "Go back to the Yamen."

Xue Qianming didn't ask any more questions, but followed Wen Ruo silently.

From yesterday's reunion to today, it's only been a whole day, Xue Qianming seems to have seen a different Yuwen Ruohan from before.

The desire to understand and see through him is stronger than ever.

Xue Qian meditated and said: Han'er, as a mortal in the world, your taste is indeed much better than theirs...

In a short time, the two of them returned to the Yamen.When Xiao Xi saw Wen Ruo, she was overjoyed and said, "Master Wen! Where are you going?"

Wen Ruo said: "Walk as you please."

Xiaoxi asked: "Master, can Xiaoxi accompany you?"

Wen Ruo smiled and said: "Lao Xiaoxi, don't worry about it, it's fine if you have Gong to accompany you. By the way, why are you the only one here? Where's Master Ye?"

Hearing that she doesn't need to accompany her, Xiaoxi was a little disappointed, she said: "Didn't the master go to do the things you told me?"

"Oh……"

It was only then that Wen Ruo remembered that before leaving the Yamen, Ye Ming asked how to deal with the bones, presumably he was going to be buried.

Then he said: "Look, I forgot about it myself. Well, it's all right, Xiaoxi, go ahead, don't call me."

Xue Qianming followed Wen Ruo to walk around the entire yamen carefully.

If you want to find traces of the scene six years ago, you will definitely not be able to find it, but Wen Ruo has become interested in the porcelain in this yamen, whether it is a vase or a teacup, Wen Ruo will look at it carefully.

Most of those porcelains are very ordinary, but there is a porcelain vase among them that is different, but it can be seen that the body of the vase is fine and white, the glaze is moist, and what is more special is the printing on it.

Wen Ruo looked at the bottle several times, and except for the traces where the signature was deliberately worn away, everything else seemed to be the same.

But seeing Wen Ruo's brows furrowed deeply, it took him a long time to show off his face and said, "It turned out to be like this..."

Xue Qianming heard the words, glanced at the porcelain bottle in Wen Ruo's hand, and asked, "It's just an ordinary porcelain bottle, what's wrong?"

Wen Ruo said softly: "This porcelain vase is not ordinary. I have almost understood the fire incident six years ago. It's just that the whole incident was almost connected together... Just a little... What is it for... "

Wen Ruo patted his head as he spoke, Xue Qianming quickly grabbed his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Ruo smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit short, and I can't find a breakthrough point."

Xue Qianming sighed and said, "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. It's been so long, there's nothing to pursue."

Wen Ruo shook his head when he heard the words, "It's not just that matter, but the mystery of the rumors about this yamen."

No.17 The fog still hasn't dissipated

Seeing that Wen Ruo was always frowning, Xue Qianming said, "Beware of getting sick!"

Wen Ruo heard the words, stared blankly at Xue Qianming, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"..."

Xue Qianming repeated: "I mean, if you continue like this, be careful not to get sick!"

But Wen Ruoxiu stretched her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it, I was negligent for a while, the bones did have a different color before steaming...Gong! Thank you very much! Let's go, follow me Go to the pharmacy and have a look."

Although he didn't understand what Wen Ruo's intention was, Xue Qianming knew that he must have solved the mystery of the Yamen rumors.

But Wen Ruo dragged Xue Qianming out of the yamen in a hurry, and went straight to the medicine store in Nancui Town, no matter how big or small, the two of them searched all the medicine stores in this town.

Every time, Wen Ruo only asks the same questions to the pharmacy shopkeeper:

"In recent years, has anyone come here to buy cheap grass?"

"What kind of disease can this cheap grass cure? How does the sick person behave?"

……

Just as he was about to leave the last shop, the shopkeeper said: "If you two want to find what you want, you can go to the city and have a look, the closest to Nancui Town is Dingxi City. "

Wen Ruo asked, "How far is that room from here?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's not far, it's only three days to go back and forth."

Wen Ruo smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. If you bother me, let's take our leave."

After leaving the pharmacy, Xue Qianming asked, "Are you going to Dingxi City?"

But seeing Wen Ruo shook his head, he replied: "There is no need to go, if it takes three days to go back and forth, I will definitely not be able to keep up with the previous agreement with Young Master Zhang. What's more, there is no need, I have already found the answer I want. "

Wen Ruo suddenly turned around, looked at Xue Qianming and asked, "Gong, let me ask you, which is more important, legal principles or human feelings?"

Xue Qianming smiled and said: "You already have a conclusion in your mind, why did you come to ask me!"

Wen Ruo was quite surprised when he heard the words, but he came forward and said: "We are going back, and this matter about the Nancui Yamen can also come to an end."

Xue Qianming asked: "Aren't you going to tell everyone?"

Wen Ruo shook his head and said: "There are some things that don't need to be known to unrelated people. I can talk to him later. Do you want to find out?"

Xue Qianming said: "I'm not interested in this."

Wen Ruo smiled: "Gong, you are very different."

"yes……"

"Ah."

After inquiring about the place where the bones were buried from the coffin shop, the two of them went straight there, and when they were approaching the cemetery, Xue Qianming suddenly stopped and said, "Go, I'll wait here. If you need anything, just yell."

Wen Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Leaving Xue Qianming, Wen Ruo walked towards the new grave alone.

Looking at the wordless tombstone, Wen Ruo said, "Why don't you engrave his name on it?"

The sudden appearance of Wen Ruo really shocked Ye Ming. He hurriedly said, "I don't know his name..."

Wen Ruo smiled lightly, and continued: "Master Ye, let me tell you a story. In other words, there used to be a pair of brothers who depended on each other for life. The elder brother went to the yamen to become a yamen servant in order to let the younger brother study and get a job. It was so ordinary, but one day, the yamen servant discovered a secret of the county magistrate, a serious crime that could punish nine clans. The county magistrate had also noticed it a long time ago, so he killed him. Those criminal evidences were buried in the sea of ​​flames together with the corpses of the yamen servants... Afterwards, my younger brother also came to the yamen, he hated these people from the fish and meat village
