The wind

The place where Yuying's body was put aside was in a small room behind Li's Yizhuang.

Naturally, slaves like Yuying cannot enter Yizhuang, after all, the spirit tablets of ancestors are enshrined in it.

Seeing that the wooden door was ajar, Li Zhongnan looked inside for a while, but saw a thin woman in men's clothes sitting on the table with her back to him.

Li Zhongnan sighed helplessly, and thought, this Qu Yeliang is really a fine man, knowing that the servants in the government can't be invited, he doesn't know where to find a little girl to lie to him.Pushing open the door and stepping in, Li Zhongnan's mouth twitched when he saw the woman's back clearly.

Li Zhongnan said: "Wei Xia is safe and sound."

The woman turned her head, stared at Li Zhongnan with a pair of almond eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Amon! You are Amon!"

Li Zhongnan's smile deepened: "We haven't seen each other for several years, but the voice of Lady Wei is still so loud."

Wei Xiaoluan couldn't help it: "Why is Ameng so handsome? Why did he go back to Li's mansion? Master is also back?"

Hearing her question, Li Zhongnan lowered his eyes: "He can't come back."

"Can't come back?" Wei Xiaoluan didn't understand what he meant: "He went away with Young Master Jianjian?"

"If that's the case, it's good if that's the case." Li Zhongnan smiled wryly, "I wish it was that."

Seeing that Li Zhongnan was so hurt, Wei Xiaoluan was taken aback for a long time before he said, "How could it be? How could it be?"

"I'll talk to you later." Li Zhongnan raised his head again, "I am now the eighth young master of the Li family, Li Zhongnan, and I am no longer Amon."

Wei Xiaoluan was stunned again, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately understood the twists and turns: "I understand it, I won't talk nonsense."

Li Zhongnan's eyes were astringent, he felt heartbroken, and if he mentioned that person again, he would burst into tears, so he raised his head and took two steps forward, pointing at Yuying's corpse and said: "Nvxia Wei has seen it."

Only then did Wei Xiaoluan come back to his senses, and hurriedly jumped off the table: "Yes, yes, I have seen it, this sister is really lovely, why did she just go like this?"

Li Zhongnan told Wei Xiaoluan what happened last night, and concealed the fact that someone framed Xiao Zhouheng, after listening, Wei Xiaoluan asked about the paperweight, Li Zhongnan only said that he had dealt with it.

"Poor sister." Wei Xiaoluan said as he took out a long needle from the package by his side, and quickly pointed to several places on Yuying's body, "She was killed at four o'clock last night; her tongue was indeed cut off before she was alive, about the day before yesterday. Around Xu time; there were no obvious wounds on the body; but the swelling you called was not the cause of his death, including being assaulted by others - all after his death, the real cause of death is this—”

Wei Xiaoluan took out a piece of cloth from nowhere, picked up a thin embroidery needle beside Yuying, and flashed it before Li Zhongnan's eyes: "But I can see clearly, this needle is inserted in the dead spot of the back spoon, and it kills me with one blow." , it can be seen that the perpetrator is quite smart." After speaking, he looked at Li Zhongnan with a half-smile.

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't kill you."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Wei Xiaoluan said again, "This pustule seems to be used to cover up the needle, and besides, I don't know if the swelling on the back of this sister's head is covered by the paperweight. It was caused by the same thing, looking at the scars, although the size is not different from what you just explained, but the incompleteness is something else."

Li Zhongnan narrowed his eyes: "So, what does Xia Wei think it will be?"

"I'm just a gangster, and I'm not an official, so I don't know what it is. Besides, the three-legged cat kung fu of the autopsy is still learned from the master, and the master has no chance to pass on everything she learned from the master to me." Wei Xiaoluan muttered , "Maybe Lord Yu is here and doesn't need me at all. He can immediately say something about this incident."

Li Zhongnan said helplessly: "Every time you see me, you always praise Lord Yu. Now I don't know where he is, and it's not clear whether he is alive or dead."

"Master Yu is a poor man, and my master is also a poor man." Wei Xiaoluan said, "It's all to blame... let's not talk about it. Can I say these things to help you break the situation?"

"Of course, thank you." Li Zhongnan nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the shoes and socks that Wei Xiaoluan had put aside the corpse, "You found the incense ash on the sole of her shoe."

"Of course I found out, I just don't understand why there are incense ash? According to what you said just now, this sister is not cleaning the Yizhuang."

"I have several conjectures, but I'm not sure yet." Li Zhongnan tilted his head, "No matter what, I will definitely solve this situation."

Seeing that Li Zhongnan was confident, Wei Xiaoluan felt better, so he withdrew the needle: "Then I'm leaving, Jinling said that this Li's residence is good, but I didn't realize it, this grass and tree made me breathless. "

Li Zhongnan said: "Nvxia Wei is more fond of exploring the rivers and lakes than being a bird in a cage. I will send you out of the house."

Talking about the two, they left the hut.

Li Zhongnan suddenly said: "The time of this person's death was tampered with?"

"I know what you want to say." Wei Xiaoluan said, "But this sister, no."

Li Zhongnan nodded, he believed in Wei Xiaoluan, besides, he had asked, since Xiao Zhouheng and himself who followed him saw Yuying at noon that day, no one had seen her again.

And it was precisely because of the period from noon the day before yesterday to Xushi, and Yuying's death yesterday at Choushi, she must have seen or heard something and suffered such a disaster.

"What plans does Miss Wei have in the future?"

"Just take one step at a time. But I always feel that something is going to happen these days." Wei Xiaoluan muttered, "Dantu is the same, and Jinling is the same. People are dying everywhere, and everything is not peaceful."

"Dantu City?" Li Zhongnan asked suspiciously, "Dantu in Zhenjiang?"

"Eighth Young Master doesn't know?" Wei Xiaoluan raised his head, very surprised, "The Yang Mansion in Zhenjiang was destroyed on the eve of the Ghost Festival. I happened to just come from there a few days ago, and all the investigations were carried out closely, even the capital officials came. gone."

Li Zhongnan was shocked when he heard this, how could it be so?

"Is there anyone alive?"

"Of course not." Wei Xiaoluan said in a low voice, "It is said that 20 years ago, that ghost man came out to commit crimes again. He killed all night, and the blood flowed on the middle street. The next day when people went out to worship their ancestors, they saw the door The blood flowed into rivers outside, along the bloody road all the way up, seeing the gate of the Yang Mansion closed tightly and the stench was suffocating, and when you opened the door, you saw the head of the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, and the corpses of all the people were piled up in the main hall, there were meat sauce and stumps, really It was horrible, everyone who went there was vomiting, and everyone who came back was sick, and it was only after reporting to the official that hundreds of people in the Yang Mansion disappeared overnight."

Wei Xiaoluan paused: "At first I thought it was a ghost taking his life, but after someone mentioned it, I thought it was the crime of a ghost."

"How could this be?" Li Zhongnan felt inconceivable, "You just said that the Beijing official is here, who is it?"

"Master Shen Qianhe Shen." Wei Xiaoluan tilted his head and smacked his tongue, "That person has such a bad reputation and bad manners, can he break it?"

"Master Shen has a high position and authority, so the Holy Majesty will not send someone with a dead body to deal with such a matter." Li Zhongnan said, "You said that Jinling is also in chaos, but it is because of inviting you to Li's residence."

"Of course not. On the way I just came, I saw a large number of government servants going to Hexi. I asked one more question and said that someone died in Jintang Lane in Hexi."

Jintang Lane, isn't that where Butler Li just said that Fu Er lived?

An ominous premonition emerged in Li Zhongnan's heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "People who are dead all day long are really panicking. How long will you stay in Jinling this time?"

"It will probably be a while. I live behind the medicine shop at the end of Yuhufang. If you still want to help, send someone to find me."

"Thank you."

Wei Xiaoluan sighed sadly: "I hope you will find me. After all, you and I have known each other for several years, and I can help you. But I don't want you to come to find me. If you do, it will be another disaster and death. people, but I don't want to see dead people."

"I understand."

"Forgive me for asking, did you return to Li's residence to avenge your uncle?"

"Of course." Li Zhongnan answered frankly, without any intention of hiding anything.

"Let me just say, at first glance, I felt that you and the uncle are very similar." Wei Xiaoluan glanced around the carved beams and paintings, and said, "Then you found out that the source of this is in the Li residence?"

Li Zhongnan responded lightly.

"But found the mastermind?"

"Not yet."

"Houmen is dangerous, the road ahead is difficult, you have to be more careful."

"Thank you, Miss Wei must take care of herself when she is outside."

"I have martial arts in me, what are I afraid of!" Wei Xiaoluan smiled brightly when he heard Li Zhongnan say this, like a spring breeze: "My lady is Wei Xiaoluan with a good hand."

Li Zhongnan also gave birth to a smile: "Yes."

"I think you are very different."

Li Zhongnan said indifferently: "In order to become him, I naturally have to give up something."

"No and no." Wei Xiaoluan waved his hand, "I mean, Amon, forgive me for calling you this last time, grow up."

The two avoided the people in the mansion, passed one veranda after another in Ke Ying in the courtyard, and finally walked to a side door of the other courtyard.

"Master Eighth, go back, don't see me off." Wei Xiaoluan stepped out of the side door, turned his head three times at a step, his voice trembled, "Take care of yourself."

Li Zhongnan stopped, as if he couldn't see the teardrops in Wei Xiaoluan's eyes, and saluted in the direction Wei Xiaoluan was leaving: "Wei Xia is too."

……

After saying goodbye to his friends yesterday, Jiang Ruli couldn't hold back his curiosity, so today he wanted to ask Xiao Zhouheng about the book collection.I thought of going directly to find Huangfu Chu, but I didn't expect that person to be not at home.After asking the neighbors, I found out that Huangfu Chu had gone out early in the morning.

Presumably he still went to Yingtian Academy, so Jiang Ruli went there.

Of course, Jiang Ruli, a dude who has no official position and no reputation, can't get into this school, but Jiang Ruli has a good father.After revealing his identity, Jiang Ruli wandered around the school leisurely fanning the Jade Bone Fan that he just replaced today.

When Jiang Ruli realized it, he unexpectedly walked on an unknown path.

There was a hut at the end with the door ajar. Jiang Ruli looked inside and saw a man in Confucian uniform with his back turned to him, as if he was reading a book.

Jiang Ruli said in his heart: It is probably the teacher in the academy. He took a step back while thinking about it, and was about to go back the same way, but he only heard the man inside say: "Young master, stop."

Jiang Ruli was startled, the voice of the teacher in the academy was so young, so he had no choice but to go in, and bowed to the man's back: "I have offended you, I didn't intend to disturb you, I strayed into this place, I'm sorry, are you sorry?" live."

The man didn't look back, he seemed to be still flipping through the manual page in his hand: "This is an important place of learning, why did you come here by mistake?"

While the man was talking, Jiang Ruli glanced at the furnishings in the room. There were several books in the room, tea bowls and incense burners, and piles of books accumulated in the corners. He immediately understood a little, so he said: "Next Don’t dare to hide it, I’m looking for someone today, I don’t know that this place is a serious place for writing, so I’m going to offend you.”

"A...playing game?" The man hesitated, his body trembled, he put down the scroll in his hand, and turned around slowly.

When Jiang Ruli saw that face, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move his steps: "Why... why is it you?"

"Are you here looking for Jue Yan Yu Cai?" The man walked up to Jiang Ruli and smiled lightly.Little did he know that that smile, in Jiang Ruli's eyes, was a ghost, a ghost, a passer-by to Abi.

Let's say that after Li Zhongnan sent Wei Xiaoluan out of the mansion, he kept asking himself: What happened to Yang's mansion?This is clearly different from the plans of the previous few people, and it is on a road that cannot be withdrawn.

Thinking of what happened that night, Li Zhongnan suddenly felt exhausted, and always felt that he had missed something - himself, Lou Beiyin and Yang Jie.

On the twelfth day of July, Lou Beiyin and Yang Jie switched identities. Yang Jie disguised himself as Lou Beiyin and went to see Lv Hongqiu, the magistrate of the Jiangning Mansion. On the [-]th, he went to the Li Mansion with him.And Lou Beiyin incarnated as Yang Jie and entered the Yang Mansion.

No wonder Xiao Zhouheng believed in Lou Beiyin's story about the ghost. It turned out that a tragedy really happened in Yang's Mansion in Zhenjiang.

If Lou Beiyin is allowed to cover up now, it is not impossible to rush to Dantu City to find out what happened, besides, Shen Qianhe is in charge over there.Just hearing that someone died in Hexi, Li Zhongnan panicked, how could there be such a coincidence?Can the safety of Mr. Jue Yan be guaranteed?He can't die, at least not now.

Li Zhongnan suddenly felt his blood stagnated, a few drops of perspiration kept oozing from his forehead, and his hands started to ache.He couldn't help leaning against the tall tree beside him. The swaying of the tree caused the birds to compete with each other. Among the birds in his eyes, there was a snow-white dove frolicking in the air, which was abrupt but too beautiful.

Li Zhongnan was fascinated by staring at the bird, and he didn't know where he was flying to; he also didn't know whether Mr. Jueyan liked to eat roasted squab.

The author has something to say: Summary of the article: Wei Xiaoluan, a new character who is a master of Jianghu, is a master of Lingkong, and his master is a disciple of Master Li Zhongnan.

The reason why Jiang Ruli went to Yingtian Academy was mentioned in Chapter 7 (Yin mentioned that Xiao compiled books for Yingtian Academy, and Jiang went there out of curiosity.).
